In the platform promulgated" BY
the late Republican State Conven-
ton of Maryland the following plank
among others 10 laid:
"Tbatswe believe the duty of Con :
gress is to give to the people of the
United States an American dollar,
whether gold, silver or paper. which
shall be worth 100 cts. everywhere.
Wonder exactly what that means?
Who can tell? There is one way
and only one way for Congress to
make such an American dollar and
that is to declare it receivable at par
in all parts of the United States, for
all salaries debts and demands.
That language put into law has never
failed and never will fail to make
any and every American dollar worth
hundred cents, and beyond this its
Jurisdiction does not extend.

thought it worthy of publication.
The US may seem mysterious word
Only but lately in this form been heard.
Singular and plural in the grammar sense,
And its validity needs no defense.
1t is of high significant import
And bears the insignia that holds the fort,
Cognomen of young people of each sex.
In whose widening ranks are none to vex.
For them I'm now writing to wish good speed.
In their great cause let them not bear to lead,
IT'S the cause of humanity-world wide
With the Lord and his truth upon their side.
Be brave. my young friends. and stand at the
front,
Ever willing to face and bear the brunt.
Heroes conquer in every good fight
They triumph because they stand for the right.
For Temperance keep your banner unfurled,
Theliquor plague soon to drive from the world.
Be patient. be wise, the victims to save
Be yourselves calm though vendors may rave.
Our country demands your constant zeal,
Ifyou cease to work-goodby to her veal.
Patriotism of this loyal tyre show,
And strike the rum monster blow upon blow.
Hold not your peace and no principal yield.
Keep mp the contest till you conquer the field,
Down goes the evil no longer to blight,
And blessings prove your cause right.
The US then together will shout in high glee,
The enemy routed-the country free
The banner of Temperance its trophies display,
Our cause victorious-give God the praise.
Now what can be seen as fruit of our toll?
Fertility everywhere blesses the soil,
Business rescued from oppression and woe,
Better morals and manners in all things show.
Then the Sabbath by far ia better observed,
It's quiet and sancity far less disturbed.
Home is more hallowed and sweetened by love-
The sanctuary endeared as Heaven above.
To religion as US these blessings we trace;
Without it Temperance had not entered the
race.
Temperance the offspring Of gospel truth
Which taught us to be good in the days Of
youth.
Then as US go on as you have begun,
The liquor evils and all others shun.
Great spoils are before you-conquer you must;
The God of the Bible, he is your trust.

MAMMOTH STORE,
HAVRE DE GRACE.
10 EVERY ONE:

The MAMMOTH wants to
see you, we want you to
understand that our latch
string is out all the time,
from $50 A. M. till 9 P. NJ,
and as late as 1890 on Satur-
day nights-but never on
Sunday. We want you to
understand that fun was not
our main motive when we
embarked into the mercantile
business, but to break down
high prices and establish the
largest and only one-price
store in this city. How far
we have succeeded you can
readily learn by comparing
our business of "a years ago
with our establishment of
to-day.
To THE GENTLEMEN:
The MAMMOTH wants to
see you and your pretty wife
or your sweetheart. We can
please you. We can brighten
up your homes or furnish
your places of abode with
handsome Carpets and Mat
tings, lovely Rugs, superb
Parlor and Bedroom Suites,
and everything that goes
towards fitting up a residence.
We want you to come today,
tomorrow or anytime that
your convenience will permit,
at any or all times you will be
welcome. Come in and see
the pretty things whether you
buy or not. One mans
moneys as good as another,
and no mans wealth is so
great that he can afford to
pay more for an article than
it is worth.
You CAN TAKE COMFORT
In a room that seems not only to
invite you to walk but stay in. To
have any other kind of room when
we are selling such elegant Furni-
ture, at popular prices, is worse than
absurd. You get part Of your money
back every time you look at it. It's
perfectly true that there is no place
like home, but is as assuredly a fact
that some homes might be a good
deal more cheerful, cozy and COM
Portable than they are. Bleak and
barren enough were the houses of
long ago; there's certainly no ex
cuse for that kind of thing now VIXEN
the MAMMOTH STORE is full of every
kind of Furniture and stands ready
and viking to put in your houses
just such articles as will tend to
make the occupants happy and con,
tented. We strive to please you and
feel that no matter how small or how
large your pocketbook our facilities
are such that you need not 60 away
without being satisfied.

Future of the Colorado Desert.

The wonderful results of irrigation
have been shown in a most remarkable
manner by freak Of the Colorado river.
Last year the mystery of Salton lake
attracted the attention and wonder of
the state until its source was found in
break in the river bank This year a
phenomenon not less wonderful is to be
seen In the same region. The desert has
been transformed. The bare sands that
have made the region terrible to travel
ers and stockmen have given place to
verdure. Underbrush has covered the
country in the line of the inundation,
and where only the hardest of desert
plants could before maintain a precari-
GUS struggle for existence luxurious veg
citation now covers the land.
The desert is doomed. Its disappear
ance may not be seen by this generation
or the next, yet the time is coming when
orchards and fields will cover the thou
sands of square miles now given over to
desolation. The iEfrequent desert plant
and the occasional buzzard will give
way to all the products of the tropical
and semitropical lands that its position
is fit to raise.
The day may come when the present
Colorado desert will be reckoned among
the most productive land in California.
There was a time when the plains of
Kern and Tulare were held but little
more in esteem than is the desert of to-
day. The magic power of irrigation has
Transformed the old alkali nlains into a
garden, and it will do as much for the
dreaded Colorado desert.-Madera Cal

Mr.. James Gay Gordon, to the state
senate, but he managed the matter with
such skill and success that he was

in Philadelphia, and in 1882 secured the
nomination of Governor Pattison and
aided greatly in his election.

THE DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN.

Hon. William +. Harrity's Record in
Public Life.
William F. Harrity, recently chosen
as chairman Of the national Democratic
committee, was born in Wilmington,
Del, in October, 1850, and graduated
from La Sale college, Philadelphia, in
1870. He remained at the college
another year teaching Latin, and re-
ceived the degree of A. NJ. From boy
hood he was leader both in study and
sports, and on graduating took the hon
ors of the class. The fact that he was a
sort of athlete in early life and captain
Of various ball teams has a certain in
terest.
From 1878 to 1880 he devoted himself
to the practice of law in Philadelphia.

and the voyage had begun, the boss and
nearly all the helpers got drunk and
didn't regain their senses for nearly
thirty-six hours. Says the narrator:
''The cattle had not been fed on
watered since they were put on ship
board. The boss had become sober
enough to realize his negligence, but
was still drunk enough TO want to make
reparation. We were short of hands.
only one man having been sent to every
forty cattle. 1t took us nearly two
hours to give the cattle hay, and it took
me about three hours more to pick the
splinters and thistles out of my hands.
The next morning the boss had us up at
4 to water and feed the cattle. The
watering came first. Condensed water
is used. Pipes connected with the con-
denser ran to all parts of the ship, ex-
cept to points where it was needed. So
far as convenience is concerned, it would
have been just as well to leave the water
at the donkey engine as to draw it off
into barrels and be obliged to pack it
from them.
''My clothing was dripping wet, and
Notwithstanding the severe exercise,
was thoroughly chilled. 1t took us three
solid hours TO water. Then we had half
an hour to sit by the fiddler to dry our
selves. After breakfast came the hay
ing, and after the haying we had to fill
the barrels with water. That took us
till II. From II until we had nothing
TO do but lie in the sun. At we began
to get the hay up out of the hold, and
after it was up to feed the cattle and
sweep up the alleys. By the time that
was done it was o'clock. At came |
what may for the sake of courtesy be !
called supper. After supper two men
went on to watch for the night. The |
others went TO bed or sat around the fid- |
dler and told lies, but they had to be up
by in the morning"
And so on for fifteen days-the aver
age length Of voyage. When the cat
tie reach the Liverpool yards they ENJOY |
a brief space of luxury before they go to
the slaughter. They rest, eat and drink
to their hearts content for from three |
days to a week. Then the ak knocks |
out their life and the purpose of their
existence has been accomplished. They
have been born, have roamed the wide
plains, have traversed a continent and
crossed an ocean that the roast beef of
old England shall not perish from the
earth.
So all honor to the Texas steer, even if
he has long horns, is not handsome and
often chases people through the streets
Of cities in which he finds himself an
and unwelcome stranger.

Puritan small Bows.

In book in which Jonathan Trumbull
recorded the minor cases he tried as
justice of the peace is this entry: "His
Majesties Tithingman entered COM
plaint against iona and Susan Smith,
that ON the Lords day, during divine
service, they did smile" They were
found guilty, and each was fined five
shillings and costs. But it was the
''small boy" whose behavior in the meet
ing house provoked the Puritan elders
to groan in chorus, "Foolishness is
bound in the heart of child"
The boy behaved badly because he
was seated with other boys, instead Of
with his father and mother in family
pew. They were herded together on
the pulpit and gallery stairs, and tith-
ingmen and constables were appointed
to watch over them, "and see that they
behave themselves oomelie, and use such
raps and blows as meet"
In one parish it was ordered in town
meeting shat there be some sticks sci
up In various places in the meeting
house, and fit persons by them and tc
use them"

THE OLD STYLE.

signment reaches New York OF Boston,
as the case may be, and the prisoners
who have lived the free life of the
prairies get a taste of fresh air during
the transfer from the cars to the
steamer. The fever Of confinement is
IN their blood, the terror of crowds and
strange noises cTazes their brains, and
for these reasons some break loose and
tear about the streets, scattering crowds
and precipitating their own destruction.
Years ago the cattle were transferred
TO vessels by means of lighters and
hauled up the ships side in sings. In
these days Of rush and hurry the method
has been improved ON and the beasts are
run into an entrance at the steamers
side through a chute of the same style as
that used at corrals and by the railroads.
Once aboard they are packed together
IN compartments almost as close as sar-
dimes, and during the voyage depend
upon the "cattle boss" and his assistants
for food, drink and indeed for life. The
boss gets from $50 to 800 per trip and
the hands are given their passage to
England and back and all the way from
one to twenty dollars each in money,
They have a week ashore and nothing
to do on the return voyage.

Old Nursery Fayoritea

There was Tom, the Son of the Piper,
Jack Sprat and Merry King Cole,
And the Thrice Wise Men of Gotham,
Who went to sea In bowl;
The woman who rode on a broomstick.
And swept the cobwebbed sky,
And the boy who sat in the corner,
Eating his Christmas pie.
These were some of the old favorites,
but they have been supplanted by the
"Pansyn and "Chatterbox" stories,
"Little Lord Fauntleroy," and give
Little Peppers" The old fashioned
pills and physics have been superseded,
and wisely, too, by Pierce's Purgative
Pellets, mild, harmless and effective

so gentle in their action that the most

SILK Keeling in Kansas.

1t may seem strange, but Kansas Is
now the only silk producing state in
America. Other states grow cocoons,
but only Kansas now unwinds the deli
cate fiber with which the worm cloisters
itself from the world.
The reason is that the two govern
ment stations, one at Philadelphia and
one at Washington, received no appro-
priation from the last congress, and the
experiments at these points must stop
for the present, for silk raising in
America is commercially yet in the ex-
perimental stage.
All of the stations, called failures,
where the silk is reeled, and there are
only three of them, have required feder-
al or state support. The third filature is
in the little town of Peabody, 1874 miles
west of Kansas City, on the Santa Fe
road. It's known as the Kansas silk sta
ton, and last year received from the
state legislature an appropriation of
$1,000. DR.. L. A. Buck, superintendent
Of the station, had asked for $4,000, but
he says he received more than he ex-
pected, for every appropriation was very
closely scanned.
The legislature may well have been
liberal with the Kansas silk station, for
1t is the forerunner of an industry which
promises to bring the state great wealth
and fame. Superintendent Buck, in his
last report to Governor Humphrey, says
that cocoon raising is extending to every
quarter of the state. The applications
for eggs come from forty-six countless

A Unique Way of Advertising.

Many years ago, in a certain very pic
turesque locality in Devonshire, where
the hills are exceedingly steep, it was
attempted to establish among the in
habitants case of goiter. This little
ailment is supposed only to occur in
mountainous countries, and it was natu-
rally thought it would be an excellent
advertisement of the place, so far as the
hills were concerned, to produce such a
proof of their precipitous character. 1t
turned out to be an ordinary throat dis
ease, which unfortunately yielded to
remedies; but the idea was ingenious,
and as only too often happens it has
been borrowed. - London illustrated

A bat cannot rise from a perfectly
level surface. Although it is remarka-
bly, nimble in its fight when once on
the wing, and can fly for hours at time
without taking the least rest, If placed
on the floor or on fiat ground it is ALSO
lutely unable to use its wings. The
only thing it can do is to shuttle help
lessly and painfully along until it
reaches some trifiing elevation from
which it can throw itself into the air,
when at once it is off like flash.
