honor TO which the best men OF the State may
aspire with credit. No man worthy of the
name should help to send a suspicious char
acter to Albany to make laws for this great
State. Let party chains be sundered, OF teach
parties to respect the honest people in making
their nominations Put only honest men on
guard as lawmakers this Fall and the State
will be relieved Of stigma whose severity was
equalled by its Justice


Tho ExPulsioa or tho Bonapartcs


from Francc-What Ncxts


President Theirs does not sleep upon bed
OF roses. The revolutionary elements of
France are beginning to effervesce again.
This provisional conservative Republic of
Theirs Is approaching crisis. In the
Southern departments the radical republicans
are gathering around Gambetta; in the North,
and in and around Paris, the Empire has it's
adherents waiting and watching for their OPP
portunity. The Orleanists and the elder
Bourbons have permitted theirs to pass by, and
it may never be offered them again. The i'm
pending struggle will be between the party of
Theirs, the party of Gambetta and the party
OF the Empire. President Theirs has main-
tanned his pro tempors government SO far with
singular and unexpected success through his
adroit manipulations of discordant Assem-
bly,. But this policy of hedging and mastery
inactivity cannot hold much longer. A gov
ernment in France which fights only to gain
time is not secure from one day to another


We may excuse, on the ground of necessity,
the re-establishment under Theirs Of Napo-
Icons censorship of the press; the continued
shooting Of the Communists may be appoved
to keep down that terrible spectre of the Com
mune; but in the expulsion Of Prince Napo-
leon and his wife from the soil of France
there is a confession Of fear of the Empire
which will not weaken the party or the cause
of the Bonapartes among the French people.
II, in this connection, it is true that Presi-
dent Theirs has requested King Victor EN-
manuel to recall the Chevalier Nigra the
Italian Minister to France because he is
Bonapartist then it must be true that of all
the dangers most dreaded by, and most
threatening to, Theirs is the dangerous power
Of the Empire through possible coup dftat
in the revolutionary French capital. The
remnants of the Commune might possibly
support an imperial coup d etat with the oppor-
tunity in Paris in revenge against Theirs. In
any event, the internal peace Of France is not
yet secured, and the dangers which threaten it
are thickening and widening from day to day.
France needs and is hungering for o perma-
nent government, and the transition thereto
threatens another convulsion.


Arrival Of tho Frost King-A Fine


ology.


After long ABSENCE during the unparalleled
heats of the past Summer, the Frost King has
finally returned to the country. 1t is not the
first time this hoary-headed parsonage, scat
tering his showers of sparkling and delicate
ice crystals, dissipating the noxious miasma of
Autumn, driving back disease and bracing the
human frame, has been gratefully welcomed
This year his coming has to be announced in
connection with an interesting triumph of sci
ence in correctly foreoasting the time and place
Of his first appearance On the morning of
the 10th instant the Signal Service "Probabili-
ties cautioned the farmers and horticulturists
in the Northwestern States and in the Missis-
sippi and lower Ohio Valleys to look out for
him, and the prediction was fully verified on
the morning following Benefcent as is this
physical agent in sanitary point of view, the
provision and preannouncement Of its
approach is of the utmost advantage
to agriculturists, and the success Of
the Weather Bureau in anticipating
the wants of the husbandman will be highly
appreciated. The Signal Office has furnished
information also which will enable farmers,
by the aid of the weather reports, to make their
own forecasts Of frost, and thus economize
their labor and preserve their plants. As the
growth and maturing Of the earth's harvests
depend chiefly on the heat received from the
sun, and especially in the new Territories of
the United States, it becomes question of
prime importance to ascertain the minimum
temperature requisite for ripening the staple
objects Of agriculture. The emigrant farmer
and the settled agriculturist of the older States
will be greatly enlightened and profted by
this new and beautiful system of agricultural
forecasts The observations of the govern
ment signal officers show that the gateway Of
Winter to our Continent lies west of Lake
Superior but it is q noticeable fact that even
at this early period Of the cold season the ther-
mometric readings in the Missouri Valley and
from Montana to the Pacific coast are much
higher than in the country eastward and
southwark of this belt


1t appears from the weather reports that the
farmers of the Middle and Eastern States may
now look out for the hoary visitor.
