Very Monotonous.

Having been deprived of the more
serious business of carrying on the Ma
tional Government, the Republican
party now deyotes a good deal of its
leisure time to drafting resolutions.
Those who have met with reyerses are
mach given to telling what they did in
the days of their prosperity, and what
they would like to do for the benefit of
the human race if they had the means.
1t doubtless soothed the feelings of the
Ancient Mariner to pour his tale into
the unwilling ears of the wedding
guest. Grief is apt to be voluble. The
Republican resolutions of these days
are very long and very dreary. There
is sameness about them that suggests
their emanation from a single source.
Probably skeleton plans of platforms
have been prepared, under the direct
supervision of the master carpenter at
Augusta, for the use of State and dis

DRIFT OF THE PRESS.

In Congress and the Legislature
the most stubborn battles have been
fought by the Democrats in behalf of
the rights of labor and the curtailment
of the power and insolence of monopo-
lies. The neglect and indifference of
the Republican Senate during the past
session of Congress formed a striking
contrast to the zeal of the Democratic
House on labor questions. The most
valuable work in the same cause dur
ing the session of the Legislature was
done by albany Argus.
Yes, the Republicans do love the
working-men and the labor organiza-
tons. Their affection for them is
deep, tender and touching. The
Tribune reveals the hollowness of lis
pretended regard for the labor organi-
cations when it says editorially: "The
candidacy of Henry George for the
New York mayoraIty will not have
been wholly in vain if it shall have
what now seems probable result
That probability. of course, is the cleo
ton of the Republican ticket--Detroit
Free Press.
There must be scarcity of or
binary timber when the Republicans of
Cincinnati are compelled to renomi-
nate vulgar and indecent Ben Butter
worth for Congress. 1t is not long ago
that this low-down politician delivered
such disgraceful speech in the House
of Representatives that the women in
the gallery left it hurriedly to escape
his vile words The decent people of
Cincinnati ought to combine against
Ertterworth and bury him under such
an adverse vote that he would never be
heard again--Bufato Times.
There is no greater danger to
the republic than that which turks in
the purpose of the few to rule the
many. The plutocracy which led TO
the fall of Rome differed from ours
chiefly in the fact that it gathered its
wealth from the spells of war. No
government is strengthened by such
radical departure from its basal prin-
eipal. as is involved in substituting
moneyed oligarchy for a manhood
democracy. It is the duty of the peo-
pie to resist now, and with determine
ton, the insidious efforts of Repub-
ican plutocrats.-N Y World

some statistics furnished by hat.ers give
interesting corroborative evidence. I
NAV say that the 'ssize" of the hat is the
mean of the length and breadth; thus

inches wide would be size No. l. Mr..

heads, Malays are small, Portuguese
average 3-S to z, Spaniards slightly
larger. japanese exceed the English
average; the order for a dozen would
run thus: Four z, three Ia, four

similar information, and adds: Men

size of livery hats would run from 1-2

city distributes gratuitously among the tenement
houses in the lower wards of the city tn follow
ing hints on the preservation Of health, in verse
printed on q card
AS soon as you up, shake blankets and sheet;
Better be without shoes than sit with wet feet;
Children, If healthy, are active, not still;
Damp beds and damp clothes will both make
you ILL.,
Eat slowly, and always chew your food well;
Freshen the air in the house where you dwell;
Garments must never be made to be tight;
Homes will be healthy, IL airy and light;
If you wish 10 be well, as you do, I've no doubt,
Just open the windows before you 60 out;
Keep your rooms always tidy and clean;
Let dust on the furniture never be seen;
Much inoss1s caused by the want of pure air;
Now to open your windows be ever your care
Old rags and old rubbish should never be kept
People should see that their floors well swept;
Quick movements in children are healthy and
right
Remember the young cannot thrive without
light;
See that the eis tern is clean TO the brim;
Take care that your dress is all tidy and trim;
Use your nose to find out if there be bad drain;
Very sad are the fevers thai come in its train;
Walk as much as you can without feeling fatigue;
Xerxes could walk full many league;
Your health is your wealth, which your wisdom
must keep;
Zeal will help good cause and the good you
will reap.

The Bell OF Justice.

1t is beautiful story that in one Of
the old cities Of Italy the King caused a
bell to be hung in tower of one OF the
public squares and called it the "bell of
Justice" and commanded that any one
who had been wronged should go and
ring the bell, and so call the magistrate of
the city, and ask and receive justice. And
when, in the course os time, the lower
end of the bell-rope rotted away, wild
vine was tied to it to lengthen it; and
one day an old and starving horse that
had been abandoned by it's owner and
turned out to die wandered into the
tower and, trying to eat the vine, rang
the bell And the magistrate of the city
coming to see who had rung the bell.
found this old and starving horse, in
whose service he had toiled and had been
worn out, to be summoned before him,
and decreed that as this poor horse had
rung the bell of justice, he should have
Justice, and that during the remainder of
the horses life the owner should provide
for him proper food and drink and stable.

How Mr. Hayes LouIss.

AuAlhlAilHlA WI III AHAtENNlhs
rutherford b, Hayes has been staying
nj the Eifth-avenue Hotel, New York, for
the last few days. He has not changed
materially since he entered the White
House nearly 10 years ago. His sandy
hair and whiskers have turned 10 deep
gray, but his face has the same clear,
healthy color, and if anything his step il
more elastic. He seems to have learned
the secret of renewing his youth. His
temperate life on his farm in Ohio and
his studies in the science of chicken rails,
ing have probably had great deal to do
with it. Mr.. Hayes had an mir of being
at peace with all the world, us he stood
in the rotunda talking with few friends.
He wore n loose-itting frock coat, which
was unbuttoned, displaying plain gold
chain on his waistcoat, and large ex.
panse of shirt bosom, relieved at the tor
with black tie. His trousers were of the
same color as his coat, but they had seer
much service, and were bagged at the
knees. His shoes looked TO begOod and sub
stantial but they were far from expensive
A well-worn silk hat was perched ON his
head, and inclined little back. His hail
and whiskers had not been trimmed fol
some time, and he reminded one little
of a country squire, who has just dropped
into town to see the sights. Mr.. Hayes
was perfectly willing to discuss the JohI
F. Slater fund, but he knew nothing
about politics. "You know / am out Of
politics" he said, and it was not hard &c
believe him.
