The Two Orphaas—TiUeo and Hendricks.. Xlis RuK Beard from Sammy J. he vn lilting in Graramacy Park, repeating, "“Alas,* it might hare been!” : — — . From present npperancea it is more than probable that Garfield will be elected U. S. Senator from Ohio.in.place of Thurman. George William- Cartir, the editor of Harper’s Weekly, has proven himself “no greet •cratch” as a politician or statesman. A', whaling vessel jnst arrived at San- Francisco, reports- that the Arctir exploring steamer, Jeannette, recently sent ou* by James Gordon Bennett, has been wrecked; all of which is higly proable. Perhaps some ballonatic can now be induced to try his hand at discovering the precise location .of oar northern spindle. The colored people of Indianapolis are circulating a petition praying the Governor to release a colored citizen of Indiana now confined in the penitentiary for marrying a white women. We would advocate his release on the ground that the Taw under which he was imprisoned, found in tbe statutes of Indiana, is a relic of pro-alavery legislation and at variance with onr ideas ot freedom and religious liberty. Marrying be governed alone as a matter of taste.

A more encouraging responce to the hopes of patriotic people could not have been given than that ottered at the polls in tbe northern States. The too impatient policy of the southerners fashioned after the old antebellnm methods of forcing the north into submission, has bees rebuked by the north with terriblfe emphasis. Notice has been given that the sooth cannot elcet and control the next president, nor can it retain tbe control of congress after the new members elected thi4 year have taken their seats. The Republican confidence for next year’s canvass expected from the elections this*year has all been more than realized and the rejoicing is general. We have gathered a great harvest.

The Police Gazette, Police New*, nnd papers of a similar ilk, published in the United States, are forbidden circulation in Canada. By the request of the Dominion authorities Postmaster-general Key has issued an opder declaring such periodicals to be unmailable natter. If the circulation of these obscene jouruals arc so damaging to- Canadian society, are they not equally de. grading to the youth ,of this country? And if our postal authourties can prevent their being transmitted -through the U. S. mails to our foreign borders, qan they not as well stop their circulation here? Evidently they do more in the way of disseminating vice and the cultivation of evil habits among the yonng than any other branch of wickedness found in the catalogue of human indulgence. v L* — l ' A strong word was spoken for the . Bible iii the public schools at the meeting of the evangelical alliance in-St. Louis on Wednesday night. Mr. King argued powerfully for the retention of Bible reading in American schools on the ground that it contains so many great and valuable moral truths, the vitality and force of which have survived the vicissitudes of ages, during which everything has changed, as Macaulay puts it, except the general features of nature and the heart of man. Mr. King made no plea in iavor of Protestantism or for any sectarian advantage; he did not even deny that some of the same froths might be eoliected from other sonrees. Bat there they are in the -Bible which is more convenient to the people than the koran, the talraud, sankrit morality or the teachings of Confucius. The religion in the Bible, as it relates to salvation, need oenvert or bnrt anybody if parents do not want tbeir children to accept it, any more than anybody need be affected by wbat they deem objectionable aentiinents in any other good book read. But in he Bible are collected a vast num. er of eternal troths inculoating honesty, virtue and diligence, which are of practial importance in every ife. Every ' child should learn these truths, because they are an changeable. They oan gel them out of no book as atUhoritative-and comprehensive aa the Bible. We think Mr. Adams struck a strong blow for the Bible as a book of instruction.

To Jasper County Farmers.

We desire this week to make a few suggestions ter Jasper county fanners, wliiek we hope all will take kindly and endeavor to profit by thorn. Every intelligent reader will readily etmeede the statement that trgrictriiare lies at tbe foundation of all productive enterprises, and that without agricnltural prosperity other branches of industry cannot profitably proceed. It ia in thia way (hat agricnltural productions in a very large measure, regulate the prices of all staple goods everywhere, because railways and steamship navigation have brongbtStates and Nation* together as neighbors. If then the prosperity of individuals, connties, States and Nations depend upon the qnality and quantity of agricultural products, it behooves every tiller of the aoil Jo act wisely and energetically. No ignorant, alothfol individual can ever succeed as a farmer for tbe reason that he baa no time to lose at any season of the year. To be successful he must not only “make hay while tbe sun shines,” bat employ every moment in tilling the soil, gathering the crops or putting the farm in order. No farmer who idles away from one-fourth to onehalf of his time by indifferently lonnging around home, gossiping with hia neighbors, trading horses, coming to town without business, etc., can expect to make the pursuits ot agriculture an entire success. The man who is found constantly complatiing about hia poor crops, misfortunes and bard lock is usually the first cause of the things complained ot. We take it that a farmer shonld plan out bis work from year to year as an architect would build' a house or a roeohiuist construct a locomotive. Haphazard work, especially on the farm, is never profitable, and those who practice it are never successful but in one thing—getting deeper in debt

There are but few persons who succeed well in the pursuits ot agriculture, enjoying the respect of their neighbors on account of their practical ideas, or find themselves in later years surrounded by loving, reciprocating, intelligent families, who do not at all times keep upon their table a liberal supply of books and newspapers of a character calculated to benefit every reader. Every farmer should subscribe first for his county paper, which will give him all the county ami local news necessary for him to know; next in order he should take a good agricultural journal, a city political and a denominational religious paper. We are aware that a great many men will say “I can’t aflord it”—but we say that if you are an industrious man and desire to farm intelligently and successfully, enjoying the good will and respect of your friends and neighbors, you must aflord it. First of importance in all things is knowledge, and this essential element can best be secured in the manner described. Show us a farmer who does not spend a good share of the Sabbath and evenings reading, and we will show you a man who farms like a mole —blindly—and lives like a hermit without any knowledge of what is going on in the outside world.

Great advancement will be made in farming in this county during the coming few years, and those who have not sufficient interest to be found in the front rank of prosperity mu&t lag behind. The elections of Tuesday demonstrate that the Republicans will gain four United States Senators in place of Eaton of Connecticut, Kernan, of New York, Randolph, ol New Jersey, and Wallace, of Pennsylvania. The Democrats have gained ’> one Senator ibis' year, in place of Bruce, of Mississippi, and the Republicans five, having made a gain of one in Ohio in addition to the four above named. The Senate now stands 43 Democrats to 33 Republicans. The Republicans having made a net gain of four, will make the Seoate stand after Mai oh 4, 1881, 39 Democrats to 37 Republicans, provided the Democrats hold Indiana. If the Republicans carry Indiana and elect a successor to Senator MoDonald,the Senate will be a tie, 38 Republicans to 38 Democrats, lealing thecasting vote with Vice-President Wheeler. In. the above estimates Senator Davis, of Illinoisis classed as a Democrat.

A telegram from Hernandon, De Sola county, Miss., of the sth inst., says: “The election passed off quietly yesterday. There was no contention by either payty until this morning, when it was fonnd two ballot boxes were missing, agd others are thought to have been tampeted with. One of the missing boxes was burned, bat the other was found. The judges burned the box and made an affidavit as to the votes cast. J. P. Walker, Demo crot; W. T. Nesbitt, Greenbacker, were elected Senators, and 11. C. Huddleston, A. S. Meyers, Democrats, were elected to the lower bouse. The general impression now is, that the Greeubackers will contest the election, claiming fool play.” ■ Nice summer days are bad for Democrats. They don’t get in their work so well. It takes a dark, gloomy day to roll up a majority for them, for the reason tnat when a utan. feels real mean and miserable he goes and voles the Democratic ticket. —Rijpiey Index.
