WILL SUPPORT THE DEMO
CRATIC TICKET.

An attempt having been made to
show that the Brooklyn Independ-
ents who, in 1884, refused TO support
Blaine and gave their suffrages to
Mr.. Cleveland would now return to
the Republican fold and cast their
ballots for Harrison and Morton, the
New York Times has looked into the
matter and finds, after interviewing
q large number OF the leaders of tie
Independents referred to, that not
one out of ten OF them will fail to
support the Democratic candidate
this year. The nomination of Harri-
son and Morton is not likely to draw
away any OF the so called Mugwump
support Of the Democratic ticket. In
1884 the objection was mainly to
Blaine, the tattOoed. This year it is
to the tariff plank of the Republican
platform which will not begin to DO
in the opinion Of any patriotic.

political creed, unless he be bound

JUNE.
w. GOTTEN DOWNING.

Oh! lovely is the April time
When warming zephyrs from the
south
Are bringing humble bees, and rhyme
To smoothly flow from poets mouth,
The cherry blossoms, frequent showers
From feecy clouds, and the round
moon;
But lovelier dawn and evening hours
Are given us with leafy June.
And lovely. too, the month of May
With all it's wealth of song and rose,
Perfuming each melodious day
From morning gray to evening 5 close.
All bright the day and fair the flower,
And sweet each soft Ornithic tune;
But softer song and fairer bower
Come with the lovely, leafy June.
For like maiden plump and sweet,
With rounded limbs and breasts
mature.
A tripping with unsandaled feet
Along some shining, fruitful shore,
And carrolling a heavenly tune,
Doth come the loyely, leafy June.
Now sings the sprightly oriole,
The martins chatter from the caves,
The mated partridges are bold,
The moaning dove no longer grieves,
The mocking bird trills all the night,
While shines the radiant. silver moon,
And fairies dance, by fire flies light,
Through all the shaded hooks, in June.
The peach is rine, the roses blow,
The field and wood are decked in
green,
Strawberries down the meadows grow
With portulaca in between.
Oh perfect days, fair sunny land,
Are these that come to thee in June,
The sun is bright, the sky is bland,
And summer s chords are all attune.

HARRISON'S WEAK POINT.

The following, taken from the
News and Observer, shows that Har-
rison. the Republican nominee for
President, will ruin our country if
elected:
"The Chinese question is not a
burning one with us, but on the
Pacific slope and at the North bad
Chinese record is a heavy load for a
Presidential candidate to carry-and
that is a weak point with Harrison.
In 1882 bill passed Congress sus-
pending Chinese immigration for
twenty years, and the Republican
President vetoedi il. On the question
of passing the bill over the veto
Harrison voted no. The bill failed
to pass.
Later when another bill was up
making it unlawful to land any Chi
nese lahore in the United States,
and prohibiting the courts from
admitting Chinese to citizenship,
Harrison voted against that; but
nevertheless it passed over his oppo-
sition. Californians have good mem
cries.

Although the Chair of Pedagogics
has been abolished, yet course of
study extending through two years
has been arranged for the special
benefit of students preparing to
teach; and special course of three
months is offered, each spring, to
teachers who desire to extend their
education.
The general studies of especial
benefit to farmers, merchants, manu-
facturers and other business men,
have been grouped into small
course Of two years, for the benefit Of
students who are unable to complete
a full course The completion of this
course would be of great value to
any business man.
Students of Medicine will find at
the University a short course of two
years, comprising such general
studies as are essential to the educa-
ton Of physician, and such special
studies in Chemistry, Botony,
Zoology, Physiology, &c, as are
included in the curriculum of all
Medical Colleges. By taking this
short course at the University, they
will rot only receive the benefit OF
training in general studies at the
University of their State, but will
also save one year, at least, which
would have to be spent at a Medical
College.

many women, probably, read the
same, and envied her. But little was
she to be envied, however; for inspite
of her great wealth she was miser-
able. 1t was her lot, in common
with myriads of women, to suffer from
those "chronic weaknesses" which are
peculiar to the female sex. Miser-
able, nervous, and discouraged, she
would gladly have given every dol
lar Of her fortune for one brief in
stallment Of health. How easy, and
how inexpensive, would be the journey
to health, if DR.. Pierce's Favorite

UNIVERSITY OF NORTH
CAROLINA.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEME Mt.

The Legislature Of 1885 passed an
act poviding for the establishment OF
an Agricultural and Mechanical
College, and transferred to that
college seventy five hundred dollars
of income then used for Agricultural
and Mechanical instruction at the
University. This transfer Of funds
has made necessary the reduction OF
the Faculty Of the University, in
certain special departments; and a
false impression may be made in
regard to the effect Of this reduction
upon the general work of the Uni
versity. The authorities deem it
proper. therefore, to make state
ment of the facts.
1t had been demonstrated by
experience that there was little
demand among our people for instruc-
ton in certain departments Of the
University, Notwithstanding their
importance, and the efficiency and
zeal manifested by the professors in
charge; and it was evidently the
desire of the Legislature that certain
other special studies be taught at the
Agricultural and Mechanical College
instead of at the University. Hence,
in the re adjustment of the work Of
the University, the authorities have
omitted the following special branches
ofstudy: Pedagogics, ORTHODOXY,
Metallurgy, Mining Engineering,
Feeding and Breeding of Animals,
and Practical Horticulture.
No dirninution nor change has
been made in any of the regular
collegiate courses Of study. The
University still has large Faculty,
and offers full and thorough instruc-
ton in all general branches of study.
It's Faculty now consists of a Profes-
sor of Constitutional and Interna-
tional Law and Political Economy, a
Professor of Mental and Moral
Science, Professor of Mathematics,
with an assistant, Professor of
Latin. a Professor of General and
Industrial Chemistry, with an assist
ant, Professor of Geology and
Natural History, with an assistant, a
Professor of Natural Philosophy and
Engineering, Professor of English
Language and Literature, with an

WAGES IN 1900.

The condition of the wage class of
that day may be we'll examined; it is
full of instruction for social agitators.
In the great cities unskilled workmen
were hired by the day, bought their
own food, and found their own lodg-
ings. But in the country, on the
farms, or wherever a hand was en-
ployed on some public work, they
were fed and lodged by the employer
and given a few dollars a month. On
the Pennsylvania canals the diggers
ate the coarsest diet, were housed in
the rudest sheds, and paid Sc a month
from May to November, and SIS a
month from November to May. Hold
carries and mortar mixers, diggers
and choppers, who, from 1898 to 1900,
labored on the public buildings and
cut the streets and of Wash
ington city, received $50 a year, or, if
they wished, $50 for all the work they
could perform from March l to De-
cember 20. The hours of work we're

Wages at Albany and New York we're

forty cents a day; at Lancaster, So to

average rate of wages the land over

GOD KNOWS THE BEST.
MRS. FRANCES A. BOROUGH.

MRS. FRANCES A. BORhOUGh.
Sometimes. when all life's lessons have been learned,
And sun and stars forevermore have set,
The things which our weak Judgment mere mas
The things Der which we grieve with lsshes wet,
Will flash before us out of life's dark night
As stars shine most in deeper tlnts OF blue;
And we shall see how all Gods plans are right
And how what seemed reproof was love most
true.
And we shall see that while we frown and sigh
Gods plans go on as best for you ana me;
How when we called He needed not our cry,
Because His wisdom to the end could see;
And cen as prudent parents dlsallow
Too much of sweet to craving babyhood,
So God. perhaps, is keeping from us now
LIES sweetest things because 1t seemeth good.
And if some time, commingling with hfe's wine,
We find the NORWOOD, and rebel and shrink,
Be sure q wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this portion for our lips to drink;
And if some friend we love is lying low,
Where human kisses cannot reach his face.
Oh, do not blame the loving Father SO,
But bear your sorrow with obedlent grace.
Is not the sweetest gift God gives His friends,
And that. sometimes, the sable pail OF death
Conceals the fairest boon His love can send;
If we could push ajar the gates OF lfe,,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find a key.
But not to-day. Then be content, poor heart
Gods plans, like lilies pure and white, unfold;
We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart
Time win reveal the calyaxes OF g1iai land
And if, through patient toll, we reach the land
Where tired feet with sandals loose may resi-,
When we shall clearly known and understand,
1 think that we shall say that God knew best.

FOR SHEEP.

Sheep do not suffer SO much from
dry, cold weather as from exposure to
storms. If they have a good roof over
them, and enough protection to keep
snow from blowing into their sleeping
place, they will be all right. Their
wool protects them from cold; but as
soon as it is wet with rain or snow it
becomes a source of discomfort. What
a mai suffers from wet clothes drying
on him, truly represents the discom-
fort of a sheep with it's wool thor
oughly saturated. The fne-woolled
sheep partially protect themselves by
exuding oil or yolk which makes the
water run off instead of entering the
fleece. 1t is some such provision as
the duck has, which enables it to live
under the water, come out and shake
itself dry. Poor sheep do not have SO
much Of this yolk, and coarse-woolled
sheep have less than the Merino.

PIPE MADE OF WOOD PULP.

Ballston is one of the centres from
which wood pulp manufacturing is
carried on. In talking about that pro-
cess for utilizing wood, Mr.. R. H. j.
Medbury said: "It may sound strange
to you, but they now make iron pipe
out of wood pulp. That is to say, by
processes in use they r making a
tubing out of wood pulp that has many
advantages over iron for gas and
water pipes, etc. There is a factory
at Mechanicsville, but the adoption Of
the wood pulp pipe by the Westing.
house people at Pittsburg for natural
gas and other purposes has made it
necessary to construct a large factory.
It may be put up at Canajoharie.
The pipe is susceptible only to the de-
structive action of fuoric acid."-NeW
