A BLOW 1ST THE DARK.
Give us the hand that will strike a blow
In the open market place,
While the well roused blood from the angry
heart
Inflames the answering face!
Rather than that sly, stealthy hand
That alms a blow In the dark,.
And leaves, like a poisened surpent's fang,
A sure and deadly mark.
The talc that the smooth tongued slanderer
tells
Behind her fuir friend's back,
That grows and grows, as it onward goes.
With the sound of the mill's click-clack!
The doubtful story set afloat
By some secret, dangerous band,
To rob a man of his fame or name,
Are blows from the unseen band.
Give us the open light of day,
With the clear sun shining bright, '
Rather than shadows grim and gray,
Or the dark gloom of night!
Give us a hand that will deal a blow
As a flint will strike a spark,
Rather than that sly, stealthy one
That aims a blow in the dark.

Says the Brooklju Argus: The
Republican organs of Indiana seem
to be getting reconciled to the dem
ocratic victory, because it is inter
preted as nn endorsement of the
policy of substituting greanbacks
for national bank currency; and of
regulating the currency volume by
the interconvertible bonds Mean
while, the New Yotk World pro
claims "repudiation in coin," and
'currency contraction as the Words
of the democratic parly here, and
between the two, the intelligent
non partisan comes to the conclu
sion that the true definition of mod
ern Democracy is something that
looks like a whale in Indiana and
like a camel in New York.
The political situation in Wiscon
sin in regard to the election of a suc
cessor to Senator Carpenter is rath
er interesting. The Republicans have
a majority on joint ballot of twenty
nine votea,and can easily elect a Sen
ator if they can unite on a candidate.
But there is bitter opposition to the.
re eletion of Carpenter, and C. C.
Washburne will be supported by a
strong wing of the Republican par
ty. A number of leading Repblican
papers have declared in opposition
to Carpenter, and the indications
are that he will not be elected. In
case he and Washburne defeat each
other, it is thought that ex Govern
or Lncien B. Fair child may come
in. The Democrats will support ex
Senator Doolittle
Jesse T. Williams senda us the
following article, taken from the Port
land (Me.) Star, as comprising all the
most cogent reasous lor the adoption
of cremation in our country:
"Eureka! Eureka!!"
To the Editor of the Star:
, The ahove was my mental ejaculation
when I read in your interesting paper
ot April 12th the proceedings of a
meeting of incremationists in New
York City, endorsed by your able and
philosophic correspondent "T.," who
so triumphantly revealed how to "Rob
the Grave ot its Horrors," and to pre
pare the dying to exult with more
than apostolic enthusiasm, u grave
where is thy victory," since even
though thyself, O grave, are doomed
to abolishment!
The incremationists propose, by bet
ter than purgatorial fires, to reduce
the dead human animal to a few
pounds of ashes, which may he sent
to absent friends by express or other
wise as valued but not repulsive me
mentoes of the departed. How sub
lime and beautiful the idea! What
an advance upon the old barbaric sen
sualisms of the past! Then the re
clamation of the fertile spots now
worse than wasted for graveyards, and
their consecration to the better uses
of growing squashes and potatoes!
Then, again, the utilization of the
"dead animals" for purposes of fertil
ization! Returned to their original
elements, one can reflect that the cab
bages and turnips in whose mastica
tion he finds so much pleasure have
been promoted in their growth by the
bodies of departed friends! The
weeded widow can console herself
with the thought that her dear ex
husband is present with her in the
starch of her potatoes, the fiber of her
steak, the adipose of her butter! A
lost child may hover around bereaved
parents in the changed form of dried
Dumpkinsand aDDles, festooning the
walls or depending from the ceilling
of the household apartment!
SuDDOse the old barbaric graveyard
has received the sancV-on of all civil
ized nations, and of tbr wise and good
of all ages it only shov3 how civiliza
tion and the world's wisdom pale be
fore the light of a new and -developing
i (3..J! nj fij'.
era; ouuuu&s tut; BU-caueu uuu o
Acre" has been decreed a sacred spot,
consecrated to cherished memories
and affections, it only proves how
absurdly human thought has run
Suppose the "Mt. Auburns," the
"Greenwoods" and the "Laurel Hills"
have been considered places of hal
lowed associations, in which the liv
ing can profit by reflection, and taste
and spirit may become subdued and
chastened, who does not know that
to gratify such sentimentalisin some
ot the best farm lands have Deen sac
rificed and cords of rich manure is
every year thrown away!
In the proceedings ot the lucrema
tionists referred to, one speaker Ellis
B. Schankol is reported as saying:
"All sentiment must be thrown
aside. It was nonsense to talk about
inurning the ashes. That was as bad
as burying tbeui. A dead man was a
dead annimal, and he ought to go
back to begin again the round of
physical life. Every thirty years the
world was poorer by the loss of the
fertilizing matter of 1, 400,000 ,(KK)
bodies put too low in the ground to
grow crops. It was robbery of God
and nature. If this society was tu
live its members must enter their dy
ing protest against this waste, and
give their bodies to the future and its
life."
Here, certainly is the key note to a
great reform, "Why all this waste of
ointment!" Why not sell it and give
the proceeds to the poor! Why waste
land and manure to save sentiment?
But here a query arises. If econo
my is to rule the hour why not be
more radical in reform? Is it the
best use to which a "dead animal"
can be put to consign him to the ma
nure heap? Is a dead man of less
economic value than a dead cat, whose
skin is utilized for its warmth and
whose bowels even are made to con
tribute to the gratification of the
most refined musical ear? Is not the
fkin of the mangy cur converted into
material more beautiful than kid?
Do not the bones and hoofs of the
horse furnish the world with articles
of ornamentation and use? Do not
even the rats of the gay French capi
tal furnish gloves to cover the most
delicate hands? And is a man of less
commercial value than these, that his
corporeal substance should subserve
no higher purpose thau that of
growing crops cabbages and garlics?
To what uses might not his fine
textured skin properly dressed be
appropriated! Then what a choice
relic for a mourning widow to have an
undervest made of the cuticle of her
departed husband, that she might al
ways have at least a portion of him
near her heart: w nn napkin rings
made from thigh bones, and even fin
ger ring-) of the smaller bones, how
easily they could be cherished as me
mentoes of affection and articles of
adornment! With bone buttons made
of such material, afflicted ones could
combine utility and sentiment fasten
their clothes and bind up thoir griefs
What forms of economy could be fos
tered by a proper disposition of the
cast off human animal! In properly
prepared vats a large amount ot avor
dupois could be reduced to tallow, af
loraing canaies lor the world s en
ugntenment, ana cosmetics and con
solation for surviving friends. If t
cremation society should be organ
is id in your beautiful . "Forest City,"
as proposed by "T.," probably he will
"show his faith by his works," and
dedicate his first born in case of his
or h r death for a first public exhi
bition of the bSautiful and pleasant
ceremonial, even should he object to
the more radical economy which I
have suggested.
But the theme is a prolific one, and
(he vista opens and enlarges as we
proceed. Your correspondent T.
says truly that only "a great deal of
prejudice is. to be overcome betore
the "loathsome, heart-sickening mod
ern practice (of burial) can be abol
ished." I will add, if you doubly
overcome this obstinate ' prejudice,
our economic reform may be earned
still further. During the Franco
German war the Parissians were slow
to overcome their "predjudiee" against
eating horse flesh, but once overcome,
the "dead animal ' was found to con
tain many a juicy joint and dainty
morsel as well for the epicure as for
the starving peasant. What but
"prejudice" prevents the most eco
nomical uses of thousands of our fat
fellow men! The killed in battle, if
applied to enlarge the commissary
stores, how would they reduce the
quartermaster's bills and change the
monotonous bill of fare of the camp!
How cheaply could the poor of cities
be supported if a ftlse and cruel "pre
judice did not stand in the way of
utilizing the bodies of those dying of
accident, in full blood and in the
bloom of health! But for this preju
dice railroad smashups would be but
the precusors of alms house festivi
ties!
But I must stop. The field opens
and enlarges as I proceed, economy
has no limitations. One small step
further onward, and by a soothing po
tation or the rap ot a mallet, the suf
ferings ot those upon whom mortal
disease has taken last hold could be
terminated, the expense of support
ing those who have become victims of
lega) vengeance as well as doctors'
fees, could be stopped, and the bene
fits of incremation and its improved
economic advantages could be at once
realized.
Lea; end of William Penn.
As celebrations of various events
are becoming fashionable. Max Ade-
ler writes as follows: feome ot us
down on the Delaware are preparing
to -celebrate in November the anni
versary of the arrival of William Penn
and the signing of his treaty with the
Indians. That treaty deserved to be
celebrated, for under it William
J;ouged over three million acres of
and out of the savages in exchange
for a couple of hundred dollars' worth
of hatchets, plugtobaccoand tenpenny
nails. That was the beginning of our
present Indian policy. We carry on
the same noble system yet. I have
been burnishing up my antiquarian
studies for the anniversary, and,
among other things. I have resurrect
ed a legend ot William renn, which
may be valuable. Clever mind where
L dug it up. Here it is:
Soon after landing. Penn is said to
have inspired a tender passion in the
breast of a beautiful Indian maiden,
and for some time it was considered
probable that the two might be joined
together in matrimony; hut this was
not to be, and the reason why it was
not to be, is explained in the follow
ing conversation, which occurred be
tween the lovers one evening while
they were sitting upon the bank of the
river. The maiden said to him:
"Dearest, I long to have you become
as one of our people, and I want you
now to let mc adorn you with earrings
and to fasten this ring to your nose.
so that you may appear as noDie as
the other braves."
-"Excuse me darlin'," he said; "but
I daren't wear jewelry. The yearly
meetiu' won't allow it."
"But you will come to our council
fire to-night, dear, will you not, and
join with the cruet ana warriors in
dancing about our captives, who will
be tied to the stake? I know you will
come.
Well, if il makes no difference to
-' -a- . v .i
you, 1 believe l won t. luon t aance,
it 8 agin our discipline.
Ah, then, 1 will tell you what you
shall do. You shall sit by the great
tree and beat the war drum and make
the fierce music of battle. You can
surely do that?"
Upon the whole, I really don t
think I can. You see I'm down on
the fierce music of battle. I'm oppo
site the music ot any kind, and par
ticularly to that which is hammered
out of a war drum. o; 111 have to
beg off."
Uut, at least, you will go with me
to the lodge of the medicine man and
see him perform his wonderful feats
of magic? '
Lm afraid 111 have to contradict
you agin, my love, uur ioiks nave
testified agin goin to places ot amuse
ments. I d be disciplined, sure as
fate, it I was to do it. Can't do it
sweet, anyhow you hx it.
"Too bad! too bad! But you will
not object. I know, to letting me toy
with your tresses and fix them into
such a crest as our braves wear proud
ly upon their heads. This you can
not refuse me."
"Now, see here, my dear, do be rea
sonable. You know that I can't let
you do that. You certainly must
know that I aint allowed to take off
my hat. Why it's absurd."
"I do not understand the ways of
your people. But I am willing to
submit to you if I know that you love
me. You do love me, William, do
you not? Swear that you love nie.
Swear by yon moon no, the moon is
not out swear by yon stars that you
will never cease to love me."
"I'm afraid I'll have to get our
book of discipline and read it to you.
When you've perused it a couple of
times maybe you'll understand that I
never swear; I affirm."
Then she rose, and looked at him a
moment with ineffable scorn and tied
into the trackless forest. So that
match was off, and William Penn was
left disconsolate. This is as much of
the leuend as I have scared up thus
far. If it seems to interest antiquar
ians may be I can excavate the rest of
it.

To Restore Fainting Persons. It is
altogether wrong to hold up a fainting
person and especially to keep the head
erect. Faintinir is caused bv a want
of blood in the brain, the heart failing
to act with suthcient force to send the
blood against the laws of gravitation
If then, you place a person sitting,
whose heart has nearly ceased to beat.
his brain will fail to receive blood; if
you lay him down with his head lower
than the heart, blood will run into the
brain by the mere force of gravity;

In making irosting tor cakes or

acid or cream of tartar is a very pleas-
and addition to the taste, besides
making the frosting much lighter.
In cooking oatmeal, hominy, wheat -

those nice breakfast dishes, cook it in
a covered tin dish set in a kittle of
boiling water. In this manner there
is no danger of scorching. Cornstarch
pudding, sea-moss farine, and all other
articles mixed with milk can be cook
ed in the same manner.

winter was equally as mild, and the

flowered in the month of March, and
the vines in the month of April; cher

The Boston Traveler, in comment
ing on the prevalence of rudeness,
tells the following incident that hap
pened some years ago: There was a
very plainly dressed elderly lady who
was a frequent customer at the then
leading dry goods, store in Boston.
No one in the store knew her even by
name. All the clerks but one avoid
ed her and gave their attention to
those who were better dressed and
more pretentious. The exception was
a young man who had a conscientious
regard for duty and system. He nev
er left another customer to wait on
the lady, but when at liberty he wait
ed on her with as much attention as
though she had been a princess. This
continued a year or two, until the
young man became of age. Ono morn
ing the lady approached the young
man, when the following conversation
took place:
1 oung man. do vou wish to go into
business for yourself?"
xesinaam, he responded, but I
have neither money, credit, nor
friends, nor will any one trust me."
Well, continued the lady, you
go and select a good situation, ask
what the rent is, and report to me,
handing the young man her address.
1 he young man went, found a capital
location, a good store, but the land
lord required security, which he could
not give. Mindful of the lady's re
quest, he forthwith went to her and
reiiorted.
'Well." she replied, "you eo and
tell Mr. that I will be responsible."
He went, and the landlord or agent
was surprised, but the bargain was
closed. The next day the lady called
to ascertain the result. The young
man told her. but added, "What am I
to do for goods? No one will trust
me."
You may go and see Mr. . and
Mr. , and Mr. , and tell them
to call on me."
He did, and his store was soon
stocked with the best goods in the
market. There are many in this city
who remember the circumstances and '
the man. He died many years since,
and left a fortune of $300,000. So
much for politenss, so much for civil

that 1 determined to make exeri
ments upon it this year. I have done
so, cirefully registering every egg
bladder vertical or bladder on one
side,' rejecting every one in which it
was not decidedly one or the other, as
in some it is only very slightly out of
the centre. The following is the re
sult: Fifty-eight chickens were hatch
ed, three are dead, eleven are yet too
young to decide upon their sex; of
the remaining forty-tour, every one
has turned out exactly true to the old
mans theory. Ihis, ot course, may
be an accidental coincidence, hut I
shall certainly try the experiment
again."
A poultry keeper in Westchester
county, Penn., sends a local paper an
account of the results of some experi
ments in this direction, as follows:
Last summer I hatched 122 chicks
from eggs selected on this principle,
119 of which were pullets. I always
select eggs ot medium size, believing
them to be the best for this purpose.
I then get a large lamp (kerosene) and
take an egg in my right hand, between
the thumb and the two forefingers,
big end uppermost, and hold it as
near the light as possible; then lay
the little finger of the left hand across
the middle of the egg. This will
throw the light in the egg; then turn
it round slowly, and you will perceive
a dark spot the size of a three cent
ftiece directly in the centre of the
arge end or on one side. As I raise
poultry lor eggs and for market, I, of
course, set only eggs tor pullets, with
a few for cockerels to replace cocks of
last year.
lhe 122 eggs which were hatched
all had the air bubble on one side, and
were expected to hatch nothing but
pullets, and only one and one-half per
cent, aid tail to hatch pullets. Coun
