THE Dark-Lnntern orators pirate much
Of the Democratic bosses, bu, these
bowling patriots cannot accuse Demo
Gratis Of mental slavery. Democrats are
left free TO read and hear whist they win.
Democratic bosses, so-called, do not re-
quire their followers to remain away
from any public meeting, and Democrats
are free 70 read and hear and act for
themselves as individuals. No resolu-
lion, engineered by petty bosses, closes
the eyes or ears OF free Democrats.
Democrats are not afraid to read or listen
to discussions and criticisms OF their
principles or their candidates. Demo
cratic bosses, so-calIed, do their work in
daylight where all the world may see, and
NO one ever heard of Democrats resoly-
Ing not to read or listen to men opposed
to them. This mental subordination to
few bosses is left TO those who call
themselves "the people" There was
never seen in any land such bossism as
that practiced by the Dark.Lantern lead
ers, for it actually aims at the mental en-
slsvement Of men. But the reaction will
come, for free American citizens will not
long submit to the dietation and schem-
ing OF those who have suddenly developed
into leaders of "the people" merely to
monopolize the votes of the people.

THE San Antonio Evening Paper would
make 1t appear that through fault of the
invitation committee Of that place the
colored militia company was excluded
from taking part in the parade in honor
of the conyening brakemen. The fact Is,
the brakemen, themselves, drew the color
line, and the committee, with proper re-
gard to the feelings of their guests, did
not force upon them that which was dis
tasteful, thereby exempliiying that true
courtesy which is due the entertained
from the entertainers.

STATE SUPERINTENDENT BAKER has

SHOTGUN QUARANTINE.

The "shot-gun qusrantines' that are

health authorities when fever-infected

sure, but the circumstances are widely
different. Climate makes the difference,
and this is supplemented by the vastly

The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1886-06-17

One of the strangest communities in
the world lives on the Island of Redonda
which is one of the British West Indies,
between Nervis and Montserrat. 1t is
very rocky and barren, and contains no
vegetation, but has extensive mines of
phosphate of alumina and iron. About
fifty men work i'll these mines, they being
the only persons on the island with the
exception of the foreman's wife. Their
provisions have to be brought from Ner-
Wis and Montserrat in small boats. The
men live in small wooden huts built fol
the purpose. The climate of Redonda
is beautiful and healthful, and the work
ingmen enjoy perfect health. The har-
Dor is excellent and we'll protected, the
highest point on the island being 1000
feet above the level of the sea.

There are two kinds of weascls in the
Eastern States. The smaller kind feeds
chiefly on mice and insects and is not
known to kill poultry. The larger preys
also mainly on mice and rats, but in adj
dition sometimes kills rabbits and poul-
try. Both species are friends of the
farmer, for the occasional loss of few
h;ckens is trifing consequence compared
with the good that these animals are
constantly doing in checking the increase
of mice. You ask my opinion in regard
to the beneficial and injurious. qualities
of the hawks and owls VIII ch inhabit
Pennsylvania. Our hawks and owls
must be ranked among the best friends
of the farmer. With very few excep-
tions their food consists of mice and in
sects, meadow mice aud grasshoppers
predominating The exceptions are the
fierce goshawk f ON the North and two
smaller resident hawks, Cooper's and
sharp-shinncd, which really destroy many
wild birds and some poultry. These
three hawks have long tails and short
wings, which serve, among other charac-
tiers, to distinguish them from the bene-
| fetal kind. Forest and Stream.

The Small Boy,

One day sat in car seat on the Sau-
gus branch of the Eastern road behind a
pale, careworn lady, who was taking a
Ii title boy from Boston to Maiden. As
the little boy was of very inquiring
mind, and everything seemed to attract
his attention, could not help listening
tc some of his questions.
"What is that, auntiel" the little boy
commenced, pointing to a stack of hay
on the marsh
"Oh, that's hay, DEAR" answered th
careworn lady.
'What is hay, auntie3"
"Why, hay is hay, dear"
"But what is hay made off,"
why, hay is made of dirt, and watt
and air"
"Who makes it9'
God makes it, dear"
"Does he make 1t ip the daytime OF
night?'
SIN both, dear"
"And Sundays2"
eyes, all the time"
"Ain't it wicked to make hay on Sun,
day, aunticl"
"Oh, don't know. I'd keep still,
Vile, that's dear. Auntie is tired"
After remaining quiet moment little
Willie broke out:
"Where do stars come from, auntie2"
~ don't know; nobody knows"
"Did the moon lay 'em9"
Tvs, s>-~~- -, n--,I lothian y
Another short silence, when Willie
broke out:
"Penny says oxins is an owl, auntie;
is thcys"
ooh, perhaps So"
II think whale could lay eggs
don't you, auntiet"
"Oh, yes; guess So" said the shame
less woman
Did you ever sec whale on his nest3"
"Oh, guess So"
"Whcre?'
Il mean no. Willie, you must be
quiet; I'm getting crazy"
"What makes you crazy, auntie2"
% dear! you ask so many questions. /"
"Did you ever see little fly eat sugarl"
"Yes, dear"
"Wherc?"
"Willc sit down on the seat and be
still or I'll shake you. Now, not another
word!"
And the lady pointed her finger at the
little boy as if she were going to stick it
through him. If she had been wicked
woman she would have sworn.
There are 10000 little boys like
Willie in the United States, and half as
many in England Boston Record.
