The Post has always been a favorite with the people. It is ably edited and gives all the current news. It is one of the staunchest Democratic organs in the state, and always sound in its views. pb A rE Temperance people can be as intem- perate in their conduct as intemperate folks are in the use of strong drink, Itis as wrong to commit an outrage and a murder under a temperance craze as un- der a whisky craze. The following tem- perance outrage occurred in Ohio, a few days ago! The village of Bladensburg up to Sat- urday night contained a single saloon. A large concourse of the Prohibition el- ement proceeded to the saloon on night of Nov. 24th, and after stoning the place for some time, gained admittance. Then one of the party threw a stone at the proprietor, a man named Chapin, the missile striking him on the head and fracturing his skull. All the liquor that conld be found in the place was thrown into the street and burned. A physician was summoned to the aid of the wound- ed man, but when he arrived the man was dead. es The western cattle breeders had a con- vention at St. Louis, last week. The pro- ceedings of the convention have shed light on this subject,and those who have followed the rugged but expressive speeches of the delegates are let into the There is a vast tract of land in v pecret. Montana known as ihe Urow feast ie upon which the envious eyes of the cat- tle men have fallen. They propose to lease this land, covering an area of over 3 000,000 acres, from the government, and though this transaction is presented in a child-like manner, the purpose is obviously to steal the land. Happily considerable opposition has already de- veloped and the indications now are that the scheme will be defeated. But it was a neat job, and the government should put its foot down hard on that sort of steals. op bd nam dE 53 ron ts Recently, one night, Mr. Blaine was serenaded at his home, and made a bit- ter attack on the South. In his letter of acceptance he said of the South: “The elements which separated them [North and South] are fast disappearing. Pre- judices have yielded and are yielding, while a growing cordiality warms the Southern and Northern heart alike. Can any one doubt that between thesections confidence and esteem are to-day more marked than at any periodjin the sixty years preceding the election of President Lincoln?....If there be occasional and violent outbreaks in the South against this peaceful progress, the public opinion of the country regards them as excep- tional, and hopefully trusts that each will prove the last.” Something must have happened to Mr, Blaine since last July to work so radical a change in his view of things. yp The Detroit Evening News saysthatthe Lake Mistassini, recently discovered by F. M. Bignell, of Quebec, in an explor- ing expedition to British America, has been known for upwards of two centu- ries. The Jesuit relations for 1672 con- tain a letter from Pere Charles Albanel to his superior in France, in which he describes the Lake Mistassini at length in much the same terms as those used by Mr. Bignell. The rocky bottom of the lake and the islands it contained are dwelt on, and the size is said to be “so great as to require twenty days with a favorable wind to make the circuitof its In an other relation the inhabitants of the region are described, and in still an- other notice is made of an expedition of Iroquois to the savages who dwelt by the lake for commercial purposes, this latter visit having been recorded in 1643. C—O ANIA The statement of the busimess of all the lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company east of Pittsburg and Erie for October, 1884, as compared with the same tonth in 1888, shows a decrease in net earnings of $203,448. The ten monthsof 1884, as compared with the same period of 1883, show a decrease in net earnings of $827,796. All the lines west of Pitts. burg and Erie for the ten months of '84 show a deficiency in meeting liabilities of $518,036, being a decrease as compared with the same period of 1883, of $1,681, 247.

Mr. Blaine, in his Augusta wail says: “I think the transfer of the political pow- er of the Government to the South is 8 great national misfortune, It is a mis. fortune because it introduces an element which cannot insure harmony and pros- perity to the people, because it intro duces into a republic the rule of a mi- nority.” By what method of calculation or of reasoning, asks the World, does Mr. Blaine call the Democratic Administra tiom about to come into power “the rule of a minority 7” President Cleveland is elected by a large majority of the popular vote over Mr. Blaine. He has a majority of 37 votes in the Electoral College, receiving 219 votes to Mr. Blaine's 182, He carries a majority of the States of the Union.

Hayes, of Ohio. for whom the Presidency was (stolen, had a popular minority of 342,060 against him, was in a minority of 37, on the electoral vote, and carried only 18 States to Tilden’s 20. It seems like retributive justice that President Cleveland should have secur- ed this year the same majority of sie toral votes that were honestly given fo Tilden in 1876, namely 37, and that he should have carried the same number of States as were carried by Tilden, name- ly, 20, Garfield in 1880 was in a minority of 309,419 on the popular vote. Yet in the face of the fact that the Re- publican party has never in twenty-four years represented a majortty of the peo- ple of the United States, Mr. Blaine has the audacity to predict “misfortune” be- cause the rule of President Cleveland, who has a fourfold majority—in the pop- ular vote.) in the electoral vote, in the States and in the House of Representa tives elected with him-—is, forsooth, to be the “rule of a minority.” Truly, the Fisher letters did not ex- haust Blaine's effrontery any more than the Hocking Valley falsehoods exhaust. ed his mendacity, msn sa YY ——p- The Milton Economist speaking of the ox-roast and illumination in that town in honor of Cleveland's election say¥: Unquestionably the most brilliant piece of illamination in the town was that extending outward from the resi. dence of Col.

A. Pledger, colored Chalrman of the Georgia Republican State Com. | I believe that Cleveland's administra tion wiii be characterized by such cone servatism as will make it one of the most successfal in the history of our Presidents In this view I have with me many of the] most prominent colored Republicans throughout the Sooth. We made every effort to elect Mr. Blaine because he wa. the candidate of the Republican party, and the colored people have always voted with that party. Since the defea: our people have been more than grati- fied at the course of our white Democrat- ic friends. Nothing bot the kindest words have been spoken for us. We re- cognize the fact that the white Demo- crates of the South are those among whom our fortunes are cast. I can safe- ly say, in speaking for myself and 7,000, 000 colored people of the South, that il Governor Cleveland's administration car- ries out only half of the promises which have been made before the next election the colored vote will be equally divided between the two parties, There is no reason why the colored vote should be solidly Republican. There is every rea- son why it may become largely Demo eratic. I number among my friends many of the most prominent Democrats of the State, and their kind expressions towards our race when harshness might have been expected assures me thal smong them are to be found the true friends of the colored man. This silly sensation sbout negroes being put back into slavery bas, I am sorry to say, been spread among colored people. They now find that they have been imposed on and they have already become thorough. ly reconciled to the election of the Dem- ocratic ticket.

Se sn MP APATITES NOT A THING TO BE PROUD OF. [From the Boston Herald.] The Republican party depended al- most wholly for support at the South up- on voters whom its papers say are so densely ignorant and superstitious as to fear they may be enslaved as a result of Democratic success in the election. This is mot a thing to be proud of. The Re- publican party hae had control of the Government during all the twenty years since emancipation. Itshould bave done something to enlighten the negroes of the South so that they would vote upon something beside a blind instinct. i A Aion wee fivery body has drop litics and the inauguration of al the next big thing on the carpet.

Danville, Nov. 20.—~Frank Lewis and Jacob Gearhart, workingmen who were thrown out of steady employment by the business depressicn, went down the riv. er several days ago to dig for roots which are in demand by pharmacists. Three miles below this place there is an island in the middle of the stream, which at. tracts attention in summer by the luxas rious growth of vegetation which it dis. plays, being uninhabited and uncultivat- ed, Lewis suggested that they dig for roots there, as the different shades of green which be had noticed inthe warm season indicated an unosual variety of herbage. Gearhart consented, and they hired a row boat and went to work, They bad not dug long when they came upon_a metal box, Eagerly breaking it open with their picks they found it con- tained coins amounting to nearly $47,000, including $16,000 in Mexican silver dol- lars, $30,000 in gold doubloons and $1,000 in small silver coins, which will need some polishing to make them passable, The general supposition is that the mon- ey was placed there by Captain Kidd during the sixteenth centory. He was at one time hard pressed on the Chesa- peake Bay by other pirates, entered the Rosquehanna river and sailed up to Crook's Riffles, which at that time form- ed part of the island. etisalat ATE BIS CROW AND KIKED IT. searhusetls Republican Paying a Bet Made Before the Election. Just before the Presidential election, when party politics were at their height in Newton, and when the Blaine men were willing to make any kind of a bet, so certain were they of the election of the Republican candidate, an engage- ment was entered into between Charles Hill and Dr. Fred. Webber, of that city, that in the event of the election of Gov, Cleveland Mr. Hill was to eal a crow, and if Blaine was the successful candis date Dr. Wehber was to perform a simis lar act. A crow was shot and taken to Young's hotel, where it was prepared for The bird was nice and plomp, and pot one of the “poor as a crow’ kind, Mr. J.T. Ford, the steward, stuff ed and rossted the bird, which when ready for the table, was about two-thirds the size of a roasted grouse. About 20 the feast. i i other men sat at the table and enjoyed a square meal while Mr. Hill ate his crow. On the front of the menu card was Lhe following : UNG'S HOTEL, SATURDAY, NOV, 22, BLAINE CROW DINNER, Cras, Hini, Masticator of the @ Dr. Freon, Wessee, Winner ar Y0 54: wis % ra, fi fhe which was sung by the company : There was & young man from Maive, Who made a rash bet upon Bisine. He said he'd eat crow if the State did not go For James G. Blaine, of Maine. Mr. Hill had dieted for a day ortwo in rder to get up an appetite for crow, but when thesmoking bird, done just to a turn, was set before him, the task proved an easy one, He ste all except the booes with a good relish. A grouse, cooked in the same way, was then set before him for gastronomic comparison. Mr. Hill declared the first bird to have been of better flavor. The company thereupon began to lay wagers that Mr. Hill bad eaten no crow atall. This was the im- pression until the steward was seot for and solemoly affirmed that the first bird was & genuine crow. Mr, Hill, therefore, like some more prominent Massachos etss politicians early in the Republican campaign, not only ate his crow, but de clared that he hiked it. AP As back was tha following song. Fdison, the inventor, has made the following prediction : ** As to the chages hich will be effected by electricity within fifty years in the city of New York, I would say that I believe eleo- tricity will propel the cars of the street and elevated roads, light the city within and without its buildings, farnish power for all purposes, work telephones and burglar alarms, deliver the mail, convey parcels, detect and signal fires, operate fire engines, and possibly displace ami mal locomotion for vehicles.” Attention is being directed again to the French process some time since pro- posed, of protecting iron surfaces against rust. A very fine powder of metallic gino is mixed with oil and a sioccative, and is applied to the iron by means of an ordinary brush. In many cases a single coat is sufficient for the purpose, while two coats may be relisd upon to secure 8 protection against the corrosive action of the atmosphere, as well as of sea water. The zine costing gives the iron a steel gray appearance, and does not interfere with subsequent painting. A good mix- ture consists of eight parts, by weight, of gine, seventy-one cf oil, and two of a sicoative, to be prepared only as wanted for use.
