Conguess should pension all tho Union and Mexican soldiers. There will probably be no tarlffleg1 si at ion during the present session of Congress._ _

The “toil” editors who hear the rebel yell bo plainly now did not hear it twenty years ago. Too far away. A consolidation of i’urdue and the (State Universities is talked of in some quarters, and may be advocated in the .Legislature. The next question lor the Democracy will be the, selection of a suitable Democrat to succeed Ben HarriBon in the U. 8. Senate. Prop. James II. Smart, President of Purdue University, is spoken of for the presidency of the State University at Bloomington, in the place of the late president Moss. In the Brand-licman contest, Chicago, Governor Hamilton, to whom the matter was referred, is in favor of Leman, Republican, to whom a certificate will be issued. This makes the Legislature a tie. The subject of pensions will be an important feature of the present session of Congress. A determined effort mil be made to pass a bill granting a pension to every soldier who served during the war and was honorably discharged Ook Republican friends imagine they will soon get to head Mr. Cleveland off. Every office he has yet held he has had to resign to accept a higher one. They are chuekling to think what office be will have to resign the Presidency to accept The Republican admistration during the month of November instead of reducing the public debt from eight to twelve millions of dollars, increased it $747,124. Yon see the Republican campaign expenses had to be paid and it took “lots” of money. The best evidence of the growing strength and power of the church is that God would endow a man with the brilliant talents of Ingersoll and then give him “liberty” to go forth and use such weapons against religion without any fear of evil results. We trust the Democracy will appoint a gw>d man as commissioner of pensions. The Democracy would do a grand thing by pensioning all the Union soldiers and sending an army of clerks home that have been infesting that department for several years. One of Puck’s latest and best illustrations represents Clevoland rowing a boat passing between Scylla and Charybdis. One of the rocks is labeled “Mother-in-law the other is dubbed “Ofiiee-seckprs.” Grover is rowing for dear life, and likely to escape both. Editor Henderson, of the Kokomo Dispatch, thinks thatGray will be the only formidable candidate on the Democratic side for the Senatorship in 1886. His claim will leave the “old war house,” General Mauson, with two years of actual governorship, and will also clear the way for a lot of young men who aspire to the lieutenant, governorship in 1888. Logan is the worst defeated man of the party in the opinion of the Philadelphia Times. He has lost the Vice Presidency, and in grasping for that shadow he has lost the substance of a seat in the senate. The Illinois Legislature i6 either Democratic, or so close that Logan’s election ia entirely out of the question. Well may “Black Jack” exclaim: “Things have .went, agin me.” It delighted the average Republican heart to call the Democrats froe traders. but it now turns out that President Arthur aud Secretary McCulloch are both the same kind of “free traders” the Democrats are. When too lafe, the g. o. p. economists have discovered that tariff revision (what they call free trade) is the popular idea and was endorsed by the whole country at the recent election.

Yes, we want to see tiie working Democrats all over the United States get the offices. The Democratic par* ty was kept out of power at least ' twelve years because a gang of chronic chair warmers wanted to hog everything in sight. Stand back, you fellows who have not smelt the smoke of political battle, and give the working Democrats a chance. No drones, no chronics, no political frauds shou^l apply for at least four years, anyway. y—^■ The Indianapolis News, which stands as excellent ilcpublican authority, is decidedly of the opinion that it was the advocacy of a high tariff that defeated the Ilepubllcans so overwhelmingly in Indiana- There seems to be no doubt that the Democrats made votes everywhere in the State by squarely meeting the tariff issue and explaining it to the people, ft proves cttiicltislvely that the Democrats need have no fears of a fur and candid discussion of the tariff question anywhere in the country.

Rocg£08T Sentinel:: There need be no fears of a panic because of the election of Cleveland and Hendricks. This government 1s too good, too great, too stroiig, too grand, too tnunificient to be thrown into convulsions by a simple change of administrations It is a governmen t of the people, by the people, and for the people, and a change of administrations' is only a change of the people's opinions as to which political party can beet govern the affairs of the conn try. Nothing more, nothing less. Thc legislature is called upon next winter to increase the tax levy. Last year the revenue accruing to the State from all sources were $1,501,856, while the expenditures were $1,773,515. The extraordinary expenses for the coming year will include $300,000 for the completion of the new Insane Hospitals. The revenue on a 12-cent levy has been decreasing, owing to the decrease in the valuation-of the State property, from $805*202,792 in 1882 to $770,911,082 in 1883. It is probable that efforts will be made to increase the levy to 15 cents on th« $100.

The Greenbackers essayed for some years to encompass the utter destruction of the Democratic party, with the avowed intention of recruiting their own ranks from the shattered elements. They chose the minority party, because they argued that, “hope long deferred inaketh the heart sick,” and that the condition of low spirits would aid in the disiutregation. They were disappointed, and as a friend who would like to see them do woll, we would advise them to tackel the Republicans. We think they can be gobbled up within the next eight or ten years. From the Atlanta Constitution: Sydney Smith a fellow of infinite jest, always setting the table in a roar, but he could talk solid sense when he tried. When asked how to cure low spirits, he gave the following advice: Live as well as you dare; take short views of human lile; attended to the effects tea and coffee produce upon you ; compare your lot with that of other people; avoid poetry, music, serious novels, and sentimental people; do good; keep blazing fires. Some of these rules may not at first commend themselves, but they have a substantial groundwork. Congressman Morrison says It is no use to talk about tariff reduction at the present session of congress. Says the Indianapolis News, there has been talk enough. What is wanted now is action; and action could be taken to advantage at this session. There will not be, we presume, any more attempts at horizontal reduction. If not, then the matter needs careful and extenteded investigation, and to this end a commission, as suggested by Secretary McCulloch, would seem to be the best thing. Let this congress initiate the movement, and then there will be hope of a wise revision being made by the next congress. ; It has been proposed that Justices of the Peace be paid salaries by the State or counties, instead of feee by litigants. This plan would, it is argued, insure more equitable decisions than are obtained under the' present system," where’the temptation is so great to give judgement against the party best able to pay the costs. In insanity cases there would be more assurance that people jjwouldj£ not be adjuged insane merely for the purpose of securing faP feos.gjjjOf course justices who’would permit their minds to be warped by mercenary' considerations are rare; but poor human nature is,wcak and ought not to be subjected to unnecessary strains.^It is possible that the change suggested may be mooted in the coming Legislature. _ It has pleased the Louisville Cou-rier-Journal to refer to ex-Senator McDonald at “our esteemed old saddlebags.” The following may be of some interest in reviewing the history of an old incident.: Old Saddle-Bags.—A name given by his political opponents to ex-Seua-tor McDonald, Indiana’s candidate for the Presidency in the National Democratic Convention. It is said that the Iloosier statesman was in the habit for many years of riding his circuit with old-fashioned.saddle-bags attached to his saddle, which he used as receptacles for papers, lunch, etc. McDonald’s saddle-bags were as familiar to his friends as was the omnipresent “old black bag” to the frieuds of the late Governor Hunt, of New York, who could associate him with nothing else, so teuaciously did he cling to it during his legal and official life. It was once said of Governor Hunt that when lie went to bed it was hit custom to hang the “old black bag” upon his arm.

An Albany correspondent writes that there are four ladies in President .Cleveland’s immediate family, either of whom can well do the honors of his household in Washington. His eldest sister in this country, Mrs. W. E. Hoyt, of Fayetteville, would fill any position with credit. Sl^e is a middle-age lady of pleasing address, who has spent a good deal of time at the Executive Mansion since her brother has been Governor. She has made many friends in the capital of the State, and will doubtless do the same in Washington. Miss It. E. Cleveland is the maiden sister. She still resides in the little home cottage at Holland Patent, just above Utica. A good puDlic speaker, a quick conversationolist and of intellectual force, she would do her share in entertaining her brother’s guests at the National capital. Mr. Cleveland has a sister who for twenty years has been a missionary to Ceylon, She has two charming young lady daughters, Mary and Carrie Hastings, whom the Governor has been for years educating in this country. He has given them every advantage, and they have Improved it. They will no doubt bo a part of their uncle’s family circle at Washington.

, Austin II. Brown of Indianapolis, has received a letter from Patrick Walsh, of Augusta, 'Qhu, who nays that the elec lion of Cleveland and Hendricks is the greatest blessing that could happen to the whole country, the south as well a j the north. He rejoices in the victory “because it restores the south to her olid place in the union under the constitution and the laws.” He thinks the “triumph means unification aud purification and the obliteration of sectionalism and the color line in our politics." "The Democrats in every southern State,” he adds, "will see to It that the negroes are protected in all the rights guaranteed them by the laws of the country. Our people will carry wit their promises iu good faith, and prove to the colored people that tijc Democrats are, after all, their beat friends.” He is confident that the national administration of the great psrty will be so honest, intelligent and patriotic that under God’s providence, the Democrats will control the destines of the country for years to come.

Rev. Bouchard and Gov. St. John are getting oat of patience under the volumes of vituperation which their Republican friends are heaping upon them and are threatening to kick back. Rev. Bnrchard begins to iutimate that though he felt very badly at first over his “Itum Romanism and Rebellion” exploit, he now begins to believe he was an instrument in the hands of .Providence to save the nation from disgrace. And Mr. St. John says in the Kansas City Star: “I accepted the leadership of the Prohibition cause, and now that the Republican party has been justly defeated, the same men who raised me up for the sole purpose of kicking me down are snarling at me as the cause of their defeat. With the instinct of mean natures to attribute some base motives to everyone’s actions, the Republicans are now charging that I sold myself to the Democratic party, ahd that I only led the Prohibition cause to bring about the defeat of the Republican ,party! This base suspicion may have originated in the Republican mind from the fact that the Republican party offered me $100,000 to withdraw from the race before the Ohio election. It is natural that after trying to bribo me to abandon the Prohibition c&nse title Republicans think the Democratic managers dishonest enough to do the same thing by trying to hire me to go into a collusion with Democracy. The charge is too contemptible to bo worthy a denial on my part, or serious consideration on the part of my friends and the followers of prohibition. The abuse the Republican party has heaped on me is doing a great deal to advance the cause of prohibition throughout the country. This spirit will drive thousands of Republicans from their party to tho cause I am working for.” Tariff for Revenue. lion. Hugh McCulloch, Secretory of the Treasury, in Ilia report to the President endorses Gov. Hendrick’s position in favor of “a tarifl for revenue exclusively.” And he does it, too, as a Republican and patriot and friend of the manufacturers, without batting an eye or crossing a leg, or squinting, Butler fashion. He says the flop-doodle speeches made during the recent campaign by politicians like Blaine are the veriest twaddle, or total misrepresentations. Ue goes on as follows: “In the commence ment of its work the commission should, It Link, regard the following points as being settled : First. That the public revenues are not to be in excess of what may be required for the support of the government, and in the gradual reduction of the public debt. ' Second. That ou r mamifaciorera, which under the fostering care of the government have attained such gigantic proportions and whose prosperity is essential to the welfare of all other interests, are nor to be put in jeopardy by radical and sweeping changes in the tarifl': and that ail reduction of import duties should be made with a ,yiew to their ultimate advantage by opening to them markets from which they are now in a. large degree excluded. Owing to the shortness of the time allowed to me for the consideration of the subject, I arn not prepared to name the articles upon which duties should be removed or reduced. I should regret this if congress were not already in possession of the facts which should govern its action. This much, however, it may be proper for me to recommend: First. That the existing duties upon raw materials, which are to be used In manufacture should be removed. This cau be done lu the interest of onr foreign trade. Second. That the duties upon the articles used or consumed by tliose whoaiethe least able to bear the burden of taxation should be reduced. This also can be affected without prejudice to our export trade.”

Peterson’s Magazine for January is certainly the most beautiful number ever issuod, even c>f that progressive • lady’s-book. There are two steel-en-gravings, each a gem in its wav: “The Rag-Baby," after the celebrated German artist, Kuans; and” A Bud Among Blossoms,” after the hardly less celebrated Carl Schon. Next, there is a colored pattern for curtainboarder, etc., etc., moat exquisite and costly affair; at retidl it would oost cercertiuly fifty cents. The double-sized fasuioh-plate, printed from steel, and colored by hand, is also a miracle of beauty. As for the stories, etc., they are thebest possible; all original, and a llby American writers. Mrs. Ann S. Stephens begins a powerful novelet, “A Motherless Girl/’ which will bring tears to every eye. Mrs. John Sherwood, of New York, in “The Lost Ariadne,” oarries tho reader into the vory heart of that exclusive FifthAvenue society of which she is ao distinguished an orna ment. Among the other noticeable contributors are Mrs. R. Harding Davis, Frank Lee Benedict, aud the autho r of “Josiah Allon’s Wife;” and the “Buyin* a Feller,” by the latter, is the fo niiiest thing of the kind we evor read. For ladies or families of refinement, “Peterson” is tho magazine; and its price is as low as its merits are high, for it is but Two Dollars a year, with great deductions to clubs, and costly premiums to persons getting up clubs. Specimens are sent, gratis, if written for, to get up clubs with. Address Chas. J. Peterson, 306 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. -

SCIENTIFIC MISCEJLLASr. A Germau botanist has given instances of tbe modification of plants by insects so as to produce new varieties. A motor driven by small charges of gun-cotton is an English novelty. It is said to be applicable wherever small powers are required. A French astronomer has found reasons for believing that a circular protuberance—presumably a volcano —which exists In the southern hemisphere of Venus has an elevation of not less than seventy miles, lie regards such a vast mountain as not incompatible with the planet’s volcanic nature. Successful experiments in distributing the electric light to great distances have been made in connection with tbe Turin Electrical Exhibition. A Siemens machine of 30 horse power generated a current which was simultaneously need by several electric light systems spread over a circuit of about 35 mile*.

Picttres of Sound.—Some remarkable photographs of a pistol bullet in its flight.—under the illumination of an electric spark—hare been secured by Prof. E. Mach, of Prague, lie has also photographed the air streams which one may see over a Bunsen burner placed in sunshine; and has even obtained pictures of sound, these last being made risible by a method in which advantange is taken of the irregular refraction of light by air sat in vibration by sound. Mower Vboetahon.—A short time since Paul Reiusch discovered several kinds of minute plants—including two algae which had before been unknown—growing upon coins after having been loug enough in circulation to receive thin incrustations of organic matter. A Hungarian botanist, Jules Schaarsckmiai, has more recently found the microscope growths upon paper money, eren tire cleanest specimens not being free from them, lie has detected seven species, including—although they are rare—the two new algae described by Reiusch. Wind Work.—A gale at East St. Louis Sn 1871, according to Mr. C. Bhaler Smith, over-turned a locomotive, exerting a foroc of no less than 93 pounds per square foot. At St. Charles a jail was destroyed in 1877, the pressure required being 84 pounds per square foot At Marshfield, in 1880, a brick mansion was leveled, the force necessary being 58 pounds per square foot Below these extraordinary pressures, Mr. Smith has instanced numerous eases of trains blown off rails, and bridges, etc., blown down, by gales of 24 to 31 pounds per square foot. Tna TbEOHV OF VACCIWAWON-.Prof. Tyndall suggests that, just as the soil may be so effectually robbed of some essential ingredient by one abundant crop as to be incapable of producing another, so in the human system a parasitic disease may so completely exhaust the blood of some ingredient necessary to the growth ana propagation of the parasite that the production of a second crop in fatal or considerable quantity may be impossible. It would thus appear that protective vaccination or inoculation is simply ths introduction into the blood of weakened and comparatively harmless disease germs to consume the material which might become food for similar genus in a more vigorous and dangerous condition. Grkat'WoBMS.-Accordlng to Mr. F. E. Beddard, a Loudou zoologist, earthworms two feet in length have beau found in the British Isles, and variousspecies as largeorlarger are known to exist in South America, Western Africa, Australia and New Zealand. The largest specie known, however, inhabits South Africa. Forty years ago a specimen was described which moasured six feet two inches inleugth, but it aoems to have bocu nearly forgotten until the other day, when a gigantic creature of the same species was sent to the Loudon Zoological Gardens from Cape Colony. The longest measurement of this worm Lyet taken reaches six feet five Inches, its diameter being nearly half an inch. Bueklen’g Arnica Halva.
