Home Thoughts,

Cultivation Of mind is as necessary as
food is 30 the body. The main thing is
TO manage your work SO it won't manage
You. There is great deal more in cal
culating than in hard work, let the head
not only help the hand but Tighten and
brighten it's tasks.
Why should your house any more than
your face be like your neighbor? The
homes that have the most individuality,
are the homes that are the dearest, and
are remembered the longest. House
ping is not what it was in our grand
mothers time and the line CT domestic
duty pursued by them does not answer to
our latitude. All these modern i'm prove-
ments though they have made our house
keepers easier II some ways have yet
made it more complex.
1t is not architecture or upholstery
that goes to make pleasant home, taste
is good in homo and you can buy it
with the adornments, bat charity, CON
tent and geniality are better, and these
the owner must have himself. Great
ness never wastes itself on domestic or
public parade. The real soul of the
home is love, which can even enchant
lowliness and sweeten sacrifice; there can
be no home without this ancient and
simple virtue and nothing has better
effect upon housekeeping than pleasant
changes by which the housekeeper is
able to turn the current of her thoughts
and 20 throw off for time the burden of
care.
None possess such opportunities for
pleasant and happy home as those who
live in the country. Itshould be adorned
within and without to the uttermost, have
a carpet of green grass, few flowers,
plenty of vines. A certain minister when
any of his friends got married and went
to housekeeping, gave them grape vine
for the pleasure not merely of raising
fine grapes, but for the blessing of vine
to cover the arbor of the door. Let the
place where children mould their natures,
and develop their character be made to
them sweet home, the dearest place in the
world. A great mistake is made when a
young couple are starting OF their life
voyage in not making q home to live at
oEce in a separate household. Why
should not the kitchen be as perfect in
its appointments as the paTlor? slave
place for everything and every thing in
its place" is an old story, but | am very
sure l. is a wonderful sim pliGef of work.

NAUCCH GIRLS IN INDIA.
/ Woman Who Repeated Scores Of Prayers Al
Uay Long


Day Long.
These damsels, our guide explained,
we're the celebrated Nautch or dancing
girls Of India. They formed themselves
into group, taking positions like those
in common quadriile, the musician (?)
in the centre, and the dancing commenc-
ed. They were ali below the age of 20,
splendidly formed and arrayed in long
flowing robes of high colors. Ali wore
around their arms and lower limbs one
fourth inch thick silver and brass rings,
not less than eight On each leg, causing
the movement of their bodies to De &C
companied by tinkling sounds, as if it
were sleighing party. They performed
an categorical representation of Hindoo
cOurtship and subsequent marriage with
ell tbs incidents and accidents customary
among people wounded by Cupid's arrow.
The serpent,Iike elasticity Of body
which allows these women to float, as It
seems, across the floor, and the graceful
abandon with which they enter the pan
tomimIc delineation of the play they are
performing. must be seen to be appre-
ciated, and language appears cold in a
description. One of them wore around
her neck 2 rosary, and as it is supposed
that women of this class are devoid Of
all the pure attributes that distinguish
the gentler sex in all portions Of the globe,
to a greater or lesser degree, it caused
wonGeIment among the foreign Fpecta-
tors, and investigation became necessary.
The rosary spoken Of consisted of over
100 small wooden beads the size of q col
lar button, made of the holy basil, low
plant sacred TO Sta, the wife of Rama.
We were told that this woman repeated
scores Of prayers at morning, noon and
evening", never less than IS at any ere
time, in & chanting monotonous tone,
which became shrill and piercing at tbs
end of each prayer. The offer of FIVE
golden dollars Cor the articles, whose in
trinsio value was not more than so cents,
was scornfully refused, and the old bag
who supplied the music intimeted that
sure destruction would bsfall the band of
dancers if the rosary was sold, lost or
stolen. This emblem of devotion was
believed 20 contain the only redseming
quality which would entitle the castaWay
female claim to the protection of the gods
when their race Of life had been run.
Let US have faith that right makes
might; and in that faith let US to the end
dare to do our duty as we understand it.

The campaign of American Protection
against British and Democratic Free
Trade will soon be warm and thing, live
~ all along the Republican lines. The
most fair, sensible, and economical way
of securing large Republican majority
is by supplying a. many voters a. posi-
bile with Republican new spapers. which
are well stocked with facts and arguments
in favor of the election of the candidates
who correctly represent American free
men. II the farmers, workngmcn and
business men of the country can become
familiar with one half of the principal
reasons why Protection is best for them.
Is the safest for the entire country, they
cannot fail to vote right In September
and November. Speaking on the stump
is we'll in its way, and large mass meet
ings tend to make the people understand
their strength and to inspire them With
Republican enthusiasm But these can
not supply the place of that weekly pc
rusal and study of the essential farts
which bear directly on the issues of the
campaign. Besides, there are thousands
of men who generally remain quietly at
home on their farms and in their shops.
who do not feel like taking the time aud
mourning the expense of going to
the great Republican mass meetings
These citizens will read the newspapers
in their quiet hours af leisure and by
snatches from their passing busy DAYS.

each of these Is but trifle, aud few of
them will refuse to take it when called on

Of incorporating Republicani-m, states
that within few day there passed
through fhe Custom House of that port an
invoice Of 1000 campaign buttons i'm
ported from England for the Democratic
party and having the name of Cleveland
on their face. This seems to be grace
ful re cogntion of the English end of the

far from being the whole truth a. to aid
frl'n England to the Democratic party in
the approaching election. Nor is the
swarm of Cobden Club documents all.
The British manufacturers and importers
will contribute financial aid to the same
end. Ten thousand dollars of British gold
paid for Aruold'- treason century ago.

TO burn the same powder twice. With two
exceptions. the New York Commercial
Advertiser and the Providence Journal,
these papers all supported Grover Cleye-
land four years ago and both the two pa-
pers excepted have changed owners with
in the past four years. Mr.. George VIII
liam Curtis, the editor of Harper'- Week
", with his customary eandor, admitted
in a published letter four wears ago that
his opposition to Mr.. Blaine was based
upon the tariff policy Of the Republican
party, and was not due alone to causes
made more prominent in the campaign Of
1854. The New York Times and the New
York Evening Post were less candid then
in their ''independent" support Of the

explicit now that no candidate could rec
oncile them to a Protection platform.

The State of Kentucky furnished some
5000 soldiers to the Union army, majority
of whom were Democrats, and they have
been voting the Democratic ticket ever
since. When Cleveland became President
in 1855 the ncumbents of the internal rev.

Of them being Democrats, though appointed
under Republican administrations. All of
these men have been removed and ex- Con-
federate soldiers put in their place not a
solitary Democratic Union soldier having
been appointed.
Nothing more strongly than this shows
the utter hollowness of Cleveland's pro-
frssions about civil service reform. The
flcts here stated are in keeping with the
81, 900 to GO 900 removals which have been
made under his administration, which the
people of this country will surely remem-
Der when they give their. votes in No

THE IRISH VOTERS.
Their Freedom from Democratic Clan
nishness at Last Made Good

Chicago Citizen John +. Finerty's Paper. |
The Republican National Convention marks
noteworthy epoch in the history of the Irish
race on this continent. Never before was the
Irish race so well represented at any conven-
ton for the nomination of a President, wheth-
err that convention was Republican or Demo
cratic. II is safe to say that the Irish born
delegates al the present convention is fully
other Republican convention. 1t is also safe
to say that there is not State in the Union
from winch men of Irish birth. or immediate
Irish descent, have not come to assist in the
nomination of the man whom the Republican
party will select for President, and whom
they confidently expect to elect.
No right-thinking man of Irish birth or
blood should do other than rejoice at the fact
that the Irish of America have at last begun
to think for themselves in political matters
For nearly half a century they seemed to be
absolutely tied to the wheels of the Demo-
cratic machine. The few lrishmen who
dared vote the Republican ticket twenty years
ago, were in most cases, not only politically
but socially ostracised by their fellow coun-
trymen; and it was considered nearly as I'M
possible for an lrshman to be a Republican
and an Irish Nationalist, as to be an Orange
man and believer in Irish independence.
However gradually the Democratic party
may have shifted its ground from having been
at one time the American National party to
being now the Anti-American and Pro-British
party, one should rejoice at seeing that the
Irish are no longer, like a flock of sheep
blindly following the belI-wcther, but are
exercising individual Judgment, and voting
according to the dictates of their own under
standing, and not according to the dictates of

1t would be hardly possible
to put the free trade case more
clearly or more strongly. The
arguments which President
Cleveland uses are those which
Mr.. Golden used to employ
forty-five years ago, and which
any English free trader would
employ now. They are purely
free trade arguments, and as
such we are very glad to see
Mr.. Cleveland using them,
though sorry for the popular
infatuation which makes it
dangerous to give them their
right name.-London Times.
He discusses the principles
at issue in the struggle and
shows that he is a free trade
candidate in everything but
name. The reservation is an
important one for American
party purposes. The President
feels compelled to characterize
the attempt to brand him a free
trader as a deception of his
enemies. For all that, the cleo
toral conflict now in progress
is conflict between free trade
and protection, and nothing
less.-London Ne,cs.
