If\ either of the parties should invari i-bl,- put in nomination those chosen be- cause of their fitness, ttie other would V diiveu by force of circumstances to sjo Mini do likewise, or suffer defeat in every c >ntesb.

Siuh action on the part of Un- people irrespective of parties if need be, would simply manifest their desire to prove themselves woithy citizens—to be less than sshieh is culpable negli gence, if not a political crime. Whose interests are to be subserved, those of the people, or those of the as- pirant- •? Whose in too many instances are furthered and whose negjected V Th?se are pertinent questions which /!<- m iinl at the hands of every voter, an Intelligent and honorable reply in the \form of a ballot, which, shall by the nsoies it contains, expiess the conscien- iUms resul f s of a careful investigation ijf men and means. Those beneficent results which would closely follow such action, are as easilj sit tamed as any of those minor objects for which men strive, if the people would bub prefer the public good to party ascendency, and decidedly, yet respectfully, sit down on political or personal aSliations and friendships whenever a regard for the public good is demanded. Vsryrnany people are in the habit of excusing themselves from acting, by the remark that \The Eing controls everything. They nominate and tiect just those, persons whom thej fivi-r, and its no use to oppose them.\ This, ii! true, is one of the strongest incentives to those who call themselves sV( e m.eu to arise in their might and let- ting the right with the might prevail, break the '-Sing\ acd dispose of the, brass as lolitical junk, or convert it- in lo rniUrial which could be turned to the peoples' account. Let every voter feel it inenmben upon him to attend every caucus, and to so speak and vote as he shall with his mind stripped with all prejudice and the public good the so:e object in view, and there will be no more so called \Rings neither will there be a preponderance of incompetency of- fer; d as the chief leeoinuiendation to a claim upon the public. There are ' offices which should be stripped of every semblance of what is usually termed politics, (shrewd and under- handed wire pulling) instead of an earnest, honest and united effort to fui-ther the present and future interests cf all. But this will not be done, until the people begin to resent the impositions and insults which have been heaped upon them, and this the signs of the times indicate is to be the watchwo: d of future efforts. Let names at d parties be forgotten If need be, but let qualifications of fit ness lor the position be demanded of tl.es YAIO aspire, and the object of this article will have been attained, better officers will be elected, and the good of all enhanced.

A long, lanky countryman recently entered the editorial rooms and. said il I druv up here this morning and abou six mUes out of fo>wn I saw a snake l}iu& in the road that I bet was fire feet long!' Tha ediior brkfly jotted down \lage beer,\ and looked inquiringly at his vis itor. \Don't you believe it? I'll bet it wai over sis fee!!\ he exclaimed. The editor wroto \^ourmash\ on a slip and resumed attention. \ID'S a fact. I ain't lying. It wou'dn' be away from the truth If I said seven feet,\ continued the stran/Kr, excitedly \Rye was brkfly jotted down withou a word of comment. \Ten feet! ten feet! You wooden-head ed ink-pot! Tiiere, you going to believe tha-?' \Certainly replied the editor as he scratched off \b-jurbon.\ \Here iny friend, is a snake card. You will notice under five feet, they are lager beer snakes By tho foot they go from 'sour masbv ; old rye' and 'bourbon' up to Diamond alley whisky. That's the highest grade and is only used for sea serpents. Good day.\ The late Professor Huxley has often expressed the otuaion that the writing of poetry was downright waste of the intellectual faculties, though lie him- self had quite a poetic tendency in the disposition to anticipate scientific .dis- coveries. His son, however, seems de- stined to satirize his father by turning out a poet. THE EARTHQUAKE. A S3vere earthquake was felt on Sun- day throughout most of the Middle and Eastern States- In some places it pro- duced cracks in the walls of buildings two inches in width, and from floor to ceiling. Prof, Bass calls i-, an earthquake, and Prof. A, H. Newton irieteorical phenomenon. says it wasi a HUGGING IN CHUPvC.H. In a fashionable church in Trenton N. J., a young couple sat dui ing the Sunday evening service with their arms around each other. According to the strict con- struction of the law against distmbina congregations, they made ho disturbance for they were not making a noise. Yet they attracted the attention of the con- gregation to such an extent that the good pastor preached in vain. Had they sat in tho pulpit they could not have been more steadfastly gazed at than they were by he people in tbe pews, and yet l.bey seem all unconscious of the admiration be- stowed on them.

HARIIIED. WiLTT-ScHooi.CR.iFX—On the 10th inst., by Rev. J. H. Heck, David Wilty and Minnie M. Scboolcraft, both of Gal lupville. • DIED. Maggie, daughter of John and Mary Paugburn, died August 14tb, 1884. In the 11th year of her age. OUR MAGGIE. (IKSCKIBED TO MB. AKD MK8. PAUOBUKN, Gentle daughter loved and cherished With the tenderest of care, Filling home with joy and sunshine Scattering blessings everywhere 1 How we guarded well our treasure Lsat she vanish from our sight; From the world where death has en tered, And o'er all things cast a blight. When the earth waa full of beauty, In the happy summer time ; There came a message from Heaven, And bore her to that far off clime. Hands of lily whiteness folded, O'er a still and pulseless breast, And the Angel of our household Was forever more at rest. For her father she is waiting, In the realms of light above; Watching for her mother's coming, And the brother of her love. For the darling little schoolmates, That she loved with tender care; That the joys unknown to mortals, -Sfie may witfc her loved ones share. If the one in whom she trusted, Guide us o'er the waters wild, Safely anchored in the harbor, We shall yet behold our child ! When our feet earthworn and weary, Shall have pressed that distant shore We shall clasp again our daughter, She shall leave us never more. KEEPING THE HANDS 8M00TE. Glycerine is not used in the fight way. To preserve the smoothness and sof tness of the hands, keep a small bot- tle of glycerine near the place where you habitually wash them, and. when ever you have finished washing them, and before wiping them, put one or wo drops of the glycerine on the wet palm and rub the hands thoroughly with it as if it were soap, then dry ightly with a towel. Household work and bad weather will not prevent your skin from being smooth if this plan of Using glycerine is followed. SURE CURE FOR DIPHTHERIA. The following is said to be a sure cure for diphtheria, and has been ueed with great success: Take molasses and mix fine salt with it to the consistency of a thick paste and apply-to the child's throat. This will become hard and dry in a few mo- ments, when a new one should be ap .lied. GOOD ADVICE. The best chest expander is a large and happy heart. The possessor of a pure and undefiled heart walks erect, espir.es easily, and looks bis neighbor n the face with a consciousness of re- pect. He has no premonitory symp- oms of consumption. He has no affection of the spine, kidneys, liver or any of the incidental ilings of incipient decline. Look at our inean, withered and predisposed invalid. Sis crouched shoulders, rest-' less .. uwa, with a litt .^Att, encased in sec ov ,,)3, are indicative of the ir . the consequences. Again wf .., iLrow off your shoulder-braces, be lively and good-natured. A NOVEL IDEA. A new wheelbarrow, it is said, has been invented.
