In Victory and Defeat.

There never has been, and it is per-
never will be again. so intolerant a
party as that which took the name Re-
publican. It's members assumed all
the virtue, all the morality, all the
knowledge and ali the capacity at the
time eXtant. They took it for granted
that they were actually saints and their
opponents in reality sinners. After
sweltering in prosperity for quarter
of century they reluctantly turned
the offices over to their opponents
under protest, regarding the edict of
the people as akin to a smallpox cpl
demic
And even then they showed their
contempt for the great party which had
elected its candidate for President. by
continuing TO oppose it in the smallest
and most contemplate WAYS. The
statements in the report of the Post
master-General are nothing new to
those who note the difference between
Republicans victorious and Republic
ans vanquished. In at least fourteen

CHINESE EDITORS.
The Sang Froid With Which They Adapt
Themselves to Circumstances.

The Sang Froid With Which They Adapt
Themselves to Circumstances.
The life of a Chinese journalist is a
happy one. He is free from care and
Thought, and allows all the work of the
establishment to be done by the press
man. The Chinese compositor has not
vet arrived. The Chinese editor, like
the rest of his cOuntrymen, is imita-
tive. He does not depend upon his
brain for editorials, but translates them
from ali the contempOraneOus Ameri-
can papers he can get. There is no
humorous department in the Chinese
newspaper. The newspaper office has
no exchanges scattered over the floor,
and in nearly all other things it differs
from the American establishment. The
editorial room is connected by ladder
with hunks in loft above, where the
managing editor sleeps, and next to it
is, invariably, a room fitted with an
opium bunk and layout. Evidences
of domestic life are about the place
pots, kettles and dishes taking up
about as much room as the press. If
an editor finds that journalism does
not pay, he gets a jobNat washing
dishes or chopping wood, and he does
not think he has descended far, either.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Very young ducklings are tender
at first, and should neither be allowed
to 90 into cold water nor be exposed tc
chilling winds while they are under
twenty days old. Such exposures cause
cramps, and they often die suddenly
from these results. Farmer.
Over 100000 hogs have died Of
cholera since last fall, and yet this loss
would not have occurred but for feed
ing too much corn and keeping the
hogs in filth. This is the secret of the
evil, and farmers might as well realize
the fact and save themselves further in

In the British Medical Journal DIR. W. Rob
erts, of England, discusses the effect OF
LIQUORS, tea, coffee and cocoa on digestion
An of them retard the chemical processes,
but most of them stimulate the glandular
activity and muscular contractions. Dis
titled spirits retard the salivary or peptic
digestion but slightly when sparingly used
Wines were found to be highly injurious
to salivary digestion. On peptic digestion
all wines exert retarding influence. They
stimulate the glandular and muscular &C
tivity of the stomach. EfferveScent wines
exert the greatest amount of good with
the least harm to digestion. When ones
digestion is out of order everything goes
awry, unless, as in the case of T. I. Seals,
of Bellaire, Ohio, who had had bad dys-
pepSia for seven years, the digestive appar-
atus is kept in apple-pie eating order by

" paralyzes the action of the saliva The
tannin in strong tea is injurious. Weak
tea should be used, if at all. Strong coffee

DRESSMAKING IN COURT.
An Issue of Lively Interest to Dressmakers
and their Patrons.

and their Patrons.
A recent case in one of the Liverpool
courts raised an issue of lively interest
to dres smakers and their customers the
world over. a lady refused to take a
dress which she had ordered to be
made. She complained that it was
g too short and too much padded. !"
The dressmaker answered that it was
made in the latest style and so is to i'm
prove the appearance of the customer S
figure. - Bodiccs," she or he explained
the report does not disclose whether
the dresSmaker was man or woman
-'are now cut short in the hips. and
the padding was necessary on account
of the lady being deficient in the place
where the padding was placed" The
lady replied that She did not want her
figure improved by any such de-
vices.
A. last the dresSmaker insisted that,
in order to determine whether the gar
ment YVES fit or mistit, it should be
tried on. Thereupon an adjournment
was ordered, and soon after the lady
appeared in court with the dress on.
After surveying it with a critical eve
the Judge suggested that surely the
fault of the bodice being too short
might be remedied by bringing the
dress higher up but he evidently
overlooked the effect which this remedy
would very naturally have on the lower
end of the gown. 1t would be enter
tanning to know what view of the law
in n case of this kind a court would
take. But to all who are interested in
the question it must be disappoint-
ment to learn that the suit was COM
promised and settled without judicial
decision.-N. 7. Herald.

WRECKS BY THE WAY.

How the Policy of Hate and Sectiopalism
Has Worked upon Several Presidential
Aspirants.
In the general collapse of Republican
hopes on election day the bursting of
sundry Presidential booms, which had
been up to that time most tenderlv
nurtured and solicitously watched
over, escaped general notice. The
wrecks of those booms have been dis
covered among the ruins. presenting a
sorry sight and intoxicating lesson on
the danger of counting ones chickens
before they are Matched. There is the
Sherman boom. so long wrapped up in
a corner of the bloody shirt, and the
Logan article of the same kind, which
occupied whole sleeve of the enSan-
guined garment. They are but MEM
ories now and will, probably. be lost
to memory when the next Republican
National Convention comes around.
Sherman made the serious mistake of
supposing that what was good enough
for Ohio should suit the rest of the
country. When he dangled the badge
of sectional hate before the Buckeyes
and they made no sign, he was encour-
aged to try the same performance in
New York and Virginia He did so,
and the result was highly disastrous TO
him. His boom is like Mark Twain's
good little boy. who went fooling
around a nitroglycerine can. There is
not enough of it left for a coroner to
sit on.
Logan, flushed with his accidental
success in Illinois, quilted the bound
less prairies, donned the bloody gar
ment and made raid on the stump in
this State. He is now searching for
the scattered fragments of his boom.
Foraker, who was also affected by the
ouzzlng OF the Presidential bee, went

We often see children with red eruptions
on face and hands, rough, scaly skin and
often sores on the head. These things indi
cate a depraved condition of the blood. In

pure blood by which to build up strong and
healthy bodies. If DR.. Pierce's "Golden

purged of its bad elements and the chlld's
development will be healthy, and as it
should be. Scrofulous affections, ricketts,,
fever-sores, hip joint disease or other grave
maladies and suffering are sure to result
from neglect and lack of proper attention
to such cases.

days here, arranging his advertising mat
tiers, and was interviewed by g UNION re-
porter as to the results and the worth of
newspaper advertising. He said that for
the four years previous to 1878 they spent
all their money in bill posting and circu-
lars from which they received no profit; in
fact, they got back just about half what it
cost them for making the medicine ard
printing and distributing the circulars.
In the spring OF 1873 they placed an adj
vertising order of $4,000 with L. P. Hub
bard, Of New Haven. The results were
sales of s107, 200. They increased the adj
vertising the following year to 100000, the
sales being $4,000. The next year they
spent $4,000, with $3.50. goo sales, and the
next year the expenditure was slightly in
creased, as also the sales. They argue from.
