A New YOKK cOrfesponclcfit Elites that the great boom in business thero shows as yot no signs of failing. The aspect of the city recalls war times. For miles the sidewalks are blocked with lttles and boxes so that pedestrians can hardly pass, and Broadway gets wedged with vehicles so that a passage cannot be nmrift for hours. The salesmen in tho large houses can scarcely get time to eat or sleep, so great is the pressure of buyers from tho West and South. The New Yorkers oughtn't to want "a change."

Kvkry able Ixnlled man has tooarry a ij^jtoroh at least once In four years. It is *?ijaot an extravagant prico to pay for the Pprivflogca of republican government.
Thk Ropnblicans think it ip only a '^question of how largo their majority -will be In Ohio. They were talking that

*4 Impartial obsorvors from foreign iHi quarters express the opinion that the tide •feaa been with tho Republicans in this 'State during the past fow days and that their prospects havo greatly improved.
DR. C. H. FOWLKR, one of the foremost men in the Methodist church, has had an extended interview with Gen. Grant, at his home in Galena, touching Hancock and the-campaign. Gen.Grant, while according courage and a line presence to Hancock, says plainly that he is a vain, weak, and selfish man, who has had the presidential bee in his bonnet for along time and is willing to do anything to ploase tho solid South. Gen. Grant has known Hancock for forty years, and is hardly tho man to make an untruthful or insincere utterance.
THBEK short yoars ago tho prophets of evil announced that times were growing worse all the time and that there was no prospect that they would got better under the financial system we then had. But all tho while intelligent men saw that the
conn
try was improving and
tliat it was only a question of time when prosperity would come again. Behold the change! Sooner than the most sanguine could havo hoped we havo entered on an era of prosperity hitherto unparalleled. It throbs through the great centres of trado and its impulse is felt in every town, village and hamlet on every farm and in every cottage of tho land. Good crops and a wise administration ftro the causes. Who wants a change just now, and wfayf1, gj
Presbyterianism in the United States does not appear to be in a flourishing condition, Tho statistics for the past iivo years run as follows: in 1876, accessions, 48,340 in 1877, 43,068 in 1878, 32,277 in 1879, 29,196 and, so far, in 1880,26,838. The contributions reported in 18S0 are 9450,000 loss than in 1876. How these statistics compare wlth those of othor denominations we are unable to state, but they certainly are not encouraging to Presbyterians, however much or littlo other denominations may be doing. It is not difficult to see where the trouble is. The church laeks seal. It is too moribund. It does not reach out and get hold of people. It neOds more of the apostolic enthusiasm, not so much in its ministry, perhaps, as in its membership.
IT was a good story which Dr. Vincent, the Methodist Sunday school worker, told at the great worlds Sunday school convention in London, about the little girl, "who, having a very small kitten, was asked to what denomination it belonged, and said it was an Episcopal kitten. The next day she was asked, "Well, to what denomination does your kitten belong to to-day," and she replied, "O, kitty has her eyes open now, and ahe is a Methodist."!, It was a very goOd story—for a Methodist meeting, but It ia hardly strange that the English papers seem to think that it was not in quite good tnste, considering that Dr. Vincent, when ho told it, had by his side^ on the platform, tho Dean of Cante bury and several other officers of thj English church. It "we^ld j^efta: havo been more magnaulmous, if the story was so good that it must be told, to have given tho Episcopal version of it in which the owlorls reversed, tho blind Methodist eyed Episcopalian. But it is a goo^l deal easier to tell a geod story on somebody elso than on ourselves, andrnboufr other churches and parties than qbout our own. •r '.j fm
NOTWITHSTANDING Gen. Grantlb defeat before the Chicago convention, it is manifest that ho still holds a high place In tho minds and hearts of the American people. Indeed thero is no reason to believe that his place In thefr their confidence and esteem is not just as high now as it was before that convention met. The utterances of no, other man in tho nation .tj^rday carry the authority which his do—an authority not limited to any section. It la felt somehow that his Judgtifentf jure -calm, uniinpassioned and sincere, Wd* therefore entitled to respectful conaideaaUon. His recent expressions on GeneraHiancoek called out wide comment and It waa felt that he had not spoken from any feeling of prejudice or ili-will. The reception whkh is preparing for h|^ lb Boston next week will be audi an 4va* tion as it ia given to few men in a republic lifo like our* to receive. Distinguished men from *11 quarters of the country will be present and a finer assemblage of culture and intellect than It will be, la seldom witnessed. Among other things on the programme for his fntertainment ia a splendid banquet it the Brunswick hotel. More snd mora it is felt as the years go by that Gen. Grant belongs to the whole country and the whoto country respects and honors hifa.

unwise and vicious marriages. But after all is and done, and after all due praise is given to those women who have accomplished great things in their greater world, it may well be doubted whether any of them are deserving of more credit than are the wives and mothers who wisely superintend their households. Upon these latter is a burden of care, responsibility and labor which it is fair to say is not exceeded by that which faiiv to the lot of any woman in a wider sphere, or to any man either. As has been well said: "A woman who has raised to man's and woman's estate a family of intelligent and virtuous children is", therefore, entitled to the respectful hoinage of any man who can appreciate patience, perscverence, industry and wisdom, amounting almost to genius." Let the wife and mother not be forgotten when the mead of praise is passed round. There never will lie a woman entitled to more than she.
CAMPAIGN LYING.
One of the most amazing features of a political campaign is the amount of deliberate lying that is done—lying too that is so brazen and barefaced that it could not posssibly deceive any intelligent person.
For instance, (and this is only selected as one of hundreds of examples,) a Democratic paper draws Garfield to this effect: "Conkling is strong, manly, sel** reliant, honest, masculine. Garfield is weak, goody-goody, of easy public virtue, vacillating. Conkling is cultivated, but scholarly and virile. Garfield is cultivated, but sentimental and bookish." And so on for quality.
Now tho idea of any intelligent journalist writing, or any informed person believing, that James A. Garfield is weak, racillating and sentimental! A man who has made his way in life without other help than lus own, from chopping wood at twenty-five cents a eord and planing boards in & carpenter's shop at one cent apiece, to a place in the United States Senate, to be sot down on as a weak man! A man who has never yet failed in anything he has undertaken to do— and has undertaken tasKs of splendid magnitude—to bo pronounced vacillating! The man who, as a boy, left his home for school with §11.00 in his pocket, worked his way through an academy and college and in eight years is made president of the college whose floors he swept while attending it, to be characterized as lacking virility! The man who, without instruction in the art of war, without ever having seen a battle, took three regiments of volunteers into a mountainous country without roads, whose streams swollen by winter rains his men had to ford many times inilhe course of a few miles who, feeing hunger and incredible fatigue, an enetoy larger in numb«sp*n provided for in eveiry way than force, and attacking him on grounffof his own choosing, routed him in a gallant fight and drove him ifrom the country such a man to be called weak apd lacking in self-relianoe! And a man who for years has stood, by virtue of his energy, his eloquence and his strong, practical common sense,"as the leader in the low$r honse of Congress to be spoked of ks a j^C&entallstl The humors of campaigu l|1ng could haraly furnish an effort^f^an|e|:-f9yra- tMp one. &ut thia^ia A fair specimen? o! the taethnh^t & poetical campaigns. do a# good? Doealt accomplish anything? Are any vote* taken from one side and added to the other-side by me&is of it* Such a thing ^'hardly credible.

States moving on very much as usual. There are political meetings, and torchlight processions, and there are earnest discussions, but, compared with In£ana, there is not enough of these things to malce any account of them. In this State there has been one incessant blaze of torches and bonfires every night iu the week parades and rallies in every part of the State weekly, and often several times each week

horribly discordant screech of the American eagle from hundreds of stumps the man who does not go with his fist doubled up ready to knock down a rascally member of the opposite party is an exception of calm good nature demands for contributions tocampaign funds have been as frequent, and more pressing and more "liberal" in their requirements, than church collections the man who does not tell every day more than a dozen lies about his neighbors of the opposite political faith is a model of veracity and the man who is not made as mad as a march liare at least on an average of ninety-four times every twenty-four hours by the "groundless lies" told about himself or his party friends, gives evidence of being a spiritless fellow, entirely destitute of "righteous indignation." In fact politics has not only been the entire business of the State, but its recreation, it has been the work and play and rest, tho employment, board and clothes and lodging of all tho male population. The swearing of men, the scolding of women, the crying of babies have been all political. To be sober, it does seem to us that this ought to b© tho last timo when Indiana shall bo mado tho battle ground of a Presidential campaign. A million dollars Avill not pay the actual cost in dollars and cents of the election. And then besides all this it creates a terrible temptation to dishonesty, as is evident by the cry of both parties that the other party is committing, or is about to commit terrible frauds. Our good name before the world, our business interests, our comfort, and tho claims of friendship and neighborly feeling, demrnd that hereafter Indiana hold her election in common with the other States in November. Let there be recorded by every voter, of whatever party, a solemn vow that there shall be no rest for the powers that be till'this important change is effected. And when effected let it be so done that no Supreme Court, either on account of its stupidity or itspartizanship, can thwart the will of the people.

At iiio "meeting of tho Horticultural Society last Saturday at tho homo of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Barbour, it being tho anniversary of their wedding, Mrs. J. O. Jones road the following poem, her owu composition: Sixty years old, ail, well, well a day!
How the years speed forward, and lake me on! I never had thougnt to see this day. Though It doe* not seem so wonderful }ong.
Back through the years comes the dear face of Who watcheO over me through good and through ill, Who taught me to lisp the sweet name Mama,
That angel face haunts my day dreams still. I remember so well a slight little lass, Sporting all day in the light of the ui}
A
I have seen happy times In my young day. I remember a wedding, yean, years ago: Weddings wer'n't then as tbey are to-day, 'Twas a solemn thing when the. troth was
But that young bride has seen her golden day. A wedding then meant wedded for life, There was no looking back when the deed was done Nothing but death could sever the tie,
But happy was the bride whom love had won
The old roof tree Is broken and gone, The loved-oaes scattered or sleeping, low Just a few left of tiieolden time,
When my heart was J'oung and with ^ife aglow. Onto my head and into my heart
My sixty yeas* hare heaped uj the snow I have had my share of ioy ana Of grief, But tlrrfe cati joothe the bitterest woe.
Fair youngfiwi, dear old ones, too. Back through the vista of years I see Now they axe becktotririg witn lifted hands,
From heaven's portals tbey beckon to sxe. Sixty seats old: it cannot be long, Ert the vWlne lifted to make me*iie, When I shall see as only before

Some have passed over, and wait tor the rest. And there was Grandpa, with hippo audjftna To whom life never seemed what life should be— We were all afraid to oome in his way,
Grandpa was always a mystery to me. Toot old gentleman, he died one day And Grandma, she died long, long agd, And I suspect that the old man's thoughts
Were drifting 'mid joys burled under life's •now. Well, Grandpa died, and
