The Old-Line Republicans.

A paragraph in the Washington Re
publican of yesterday reads as follows ::
"Thc great annual transit of Wick
ham, although it occurs more frequent
", is not less sublime than the transit
of Venus. One of the Rcpublicdn'S
corps Of astronomers, sent to observe
the phenomena incident to Wickham's
transit for 1885, sends a graphic re-
port, which we print this morning"
There are Old-Line Republicans who
will vote with WICKHAM for FIrz
LEE. This is a fact that must be taken
into consideration when you begin to
talk about the small majority which
CLEVELAND received in Virginia last
year. These Old-Line Republicans
have all this time kept up good deal
Of thinking, and they know that they
don't want MALONE for a leader.
And they won't have him.

The Providence lRhode lslandl JON.

The Providence (Rhode lsland) Jour-
nal says:
THE people of the South reject the
penny they will use no smaller coin
than the iye-cent piece. This shows n
want Of appreciation Of the value of
small savings, " hich assures a continued
slavery to the tinsncier. In New Eng
land man would be considered fool
who should leave three cents on a
counter because he would not be
bothered with them"
The journal volunteers the above in
formation in no inyidious mood, but we
feel called upon to tell it that it is
somewhat behind the times. In the far
southern States the invasion of the
penny has perhaps not been entirely
successful, but in this neighborhood we
surrendered long ago. We have got
ten bravely over " SIGH foolishness."
If the editor Of the Journal thinks we
are mistaken, let him come down here
and try to make a trade with some of
our " Virginia Yankees"

The Virginia Republicans could not,
IL they would, dissociatc themselves in
the cyes'of the nation from the spos-
tlcs Of hate in the North. The Balti-
more Herald Independent Republican,
saws that JOHN SHERMAN opened the
Ohio campaign by waving the bloody
shirt long and frantically, and Odds:
"To cover their many sins # omis-
sion and commission, the MshOneites
Of Virginia are engaged in the same
silly work. How long will it be be-
fore Republican politicians understand
that the war is over and that tn; pco-
pie, Republicans and Democrats alike,
have no desire to perpetuate the bitter
ness Of feeling which it engineered?
To intimate that the Republican party
can only appeal to fast-disappearing
prejudices is to proclaim it poor indeed
IN resource"
The Republican politicians know that
the war is over as well as does the
Herald, but they will never cease to
declare that it is not over so long as
they think that such declaration can
serve as a Stepping-stone to power.
They will never admit that the war is
over as long as there is any chance to
perpetuate the bitterness Of feeling it
engendered, or as long as an appeal to
sectional prejudice can secure for them
a following as big as cOrporal's guard.
1t therefore behooyes the good men Of
the country, irrespective Of party, to
crush out such men and their following.
1t is patriotic duty to destroy utterly
the Republican party, root and branch,
md a good way to begin would be to
Top off the Virginia branch.

Corduroy as covering for furniture
is desirable for two reasons, it is very
durable and offers no chance for
moths.
1t is said that ice will melt less
rapidly if wrapped in newspapers and
placed in a covered box than when
kept in a refrigerator.
To brighten carpet put a half
tumbler of spirits of turpentine in a
basin of water and dip your broom in
it and sweep over the carpet once or
twice.
1t is said that piece Of zinc placed
on the Goals of hot stove will clean
ont the stovepipe. The vapors pro-
duced carry off the SCOT by chemical
decomposition.
Iron stains of all kinds that are not
too dark can be taken out with a
strong solution of Oxalic acid or lemon
juice, Or by rubbing the salts of lemon
upon them. If necessary, lay them in
the sun, or heat them by the fire or
hold over the steam of a boiling kettle.
Colors set with copperas OF any other
iron preparation can be discharged in
this way. g..

In medicine the plague is very malig-
nant and contagious fever, rapid in its
progress and accompanied by .buboes,
carbuncles and petechie. 1t spreads
rapidly by contact, and is usually fatal
TO two thirds of those whom it attacks.
Its true and permanent home seems to be
in the regions bordering on the eastern
extremity of the Mediterranean. At diff
fercnt periods Of the fifteenth, sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries it visited
Western Europe. 1t last attacked Lon
don and England almost generally in the
wears 16G3-l665; while so late as 1720 it
destroyed nearly half the population of
Marseilles, and seventy years afterward
prevailed in Russia and Poland, since
which time,it has been almost unknown
in Western Europe. 1t is now limited
chiefly to Egypt, Syria, Anatolia, Greece
and Turkey, occasionally extending
northward toward Russia and westward
as far as Malta.
