riiiladelpliia Republicans who pretest
aloud their devotion te reform, but who
de net permit it te carry them out of the
lines of their party te secure, neverthe
less, in the most inconsistent way, appeal
te Democrats te "rise up te the occasion
and abandon their party, te help along
the justification of the Republicans by
putting' " reform" .Republicans in office.
If that is net an impudent demand, im.
pudence is net properly defined in the
dictionaries.
It is quite often that this demand te
the Democratic parly te " rise up" is
made. We leek te see it en every occa
sion when a Republican axe is cebe
ground for people who de net run the
machine. It has become se familiar that
we would really miss it very much if we
were net greeted with it annually from
some direction.
The Philadelphia Times of yesterday
indulges itself with the observation that
the "Democratic leaders are prone te re
ject golden opportunities ;" upon which,
in one sensa at least, their followers will
bs glad te congratulate them. And it
gees en te declare that the reform Re
publicans will net make a hopeless battle
merely te elect the Democratic ticket,
and that it will bs a sad blunder if the
Democracy of Philadelphia shall rise
"no higher," etc.
New that seems te us te be talking
supreme nonsense ; inneseiue bettered
that it is stereotyped nonsense. This
feast of crew that the Democracy are
invited te, remember, by the Reform Re-
nublicans and the Tii.tcA. is Mm stmnnrr.

BisHer Eldeb, of Cincinnati, said in his
recent episcepal letter te the clergy of his

General Gabfield has written te the
editor of a German review expressing joy
at the cordial relations which exist between
Germany and the United States. There
seems te be no real basis for the rumor
that Mr. Carl Schurz will be designated

The Englishman who taunted the
Scotchman with the remark that "In
England we feed our horses en that which
in Scotland you are compelled te subsist

England were found the best horses and
in Scotland tbe finest men in the world !
The most remarkable case of plagiarism
is discovered by a contributor te the
Atlantic Monthly remarkable net aleue
for its boldness, but the distinguished
character of the literary pilfcier who
figures therein. He gees far te prove
that. "Owen Jleredith's" charming
poem "Lucille" is a paraphrase of the
situation, dialogeo and language of Geerge
Sand's " Lavinia."
Durikg the last year there was an in
crease in Richmond of 137 manufacturing
establishments ever the previous year,
making the whole number new in opera
tion 702, with a total capital invested of
88,G32,G2C, an increase of nearly 82,000,
000. The operatives employed for the
past year numbered 17,000, nearly 3,000
mere than iu 1879. The sales amounted
te 824,704,892, an increase of $1,218,
000. The Hudsen Bay company have pur
chased forty' thousand bushels of a su
perior sample of wheat, and willferwatd
it as an experimental specimen te Eng
land. It is hoped that by thus shipping
wheat direct from the piovince te the old
country, Manitoba will be brought mere
premintly before the British people. The
grain is done up in hundred-pound bags
and shipped in special cars te New Yerk,
where it will be shipped ou beard one of
the ocean steamers.
The fashion is' growing in England of
printing editions de luxe en specially pre
pared paper and with due attention te the
typography and illustrations, the edition
being limited te a comparatively small
number of copies, which are numbered,
while the type is distributed as each sheet
is printed. A curious instance of the
popularity of 3uch works is furnished by
the publication last week of a new edition
of Hamerteu's "Etchers and Etchings."
Macmillau, of Londen, issued 1,000 copies
at five guineas en Friday; en Satuulay
the publishers offered six guineas a copy
te such subscribers as would return their
books, and this they could very well aflbid
te de, seeing that the booksellers were
asking eight and nine, and receiving such
prices from eager purchasers. This ad
vance of a book's price, 80 per cent, in
twenty-four hours after its publication, is
something unparalleled in bibliographical
annals.

Accounts of railroad accidents are of
daily, almost heuily, occurrence. 2Ytf
bnrgh Pest
Aud these who have given most consid
eration te the subject, entertain the opin
ion that a large majority of railroad acci
dents are attributable te the employees be
ing overweiked. Railroad companies get
the most work they can out of men
for the least money. They seem te
think that the lower grades of
employees are net constituted of flesh
and bleed. The rule is le make them de
double work for single wages, and it any
of the. peer fellows, through want of sleep
or ever fatigue, make a mistake, causing
the occurrence of an accident, the officers
of the lead become very indignant at the
employee and euler his immediate dis
charge, v.iiile a lazy de-nothing official
sits in his office and draws from ten te fif
teen thousand dollars a year, or mere, as
salary. The opinion is pretty well es
tablished that railroad officials, such as
presidents, general mauagcis, etc., receive
a larger compensation accerdiug te the
service they render, than any ether class
of men. Presidents and managers, very
often incompetent, draw the big salaries,
whilst the heads of the departments, the
master mechauics. the division superinten
dents and ethers with their various as
sistants, arc never allowed mere than an
adequate compensation. It would cer
tainly be mere just, ami might contribute
te the safety of railroad travel if the law
would intervene te prevent these institu
tions from being made monopolies for the
benefit of a few individuals.

The commissioner of agriculture, who
went Seuth two or three weeks age te se
lect a suitable place for the establishment
of an experimental tea farm, has returned
te Washington. He went first te Flerida
and examined the soil iu the vicinity of
Jacksonville. Thence he made a trip up
the St. Jehn's river as far as Palatka.
He found the tea plants which had been
sent out from the department growing in
nearly every place visited and premising
excellent results.
He thou visited several pirts of Seuth
Caielina, and finally selected as the place
most r-uitable for ids purposes Summur
ville, S. C, twenty-two miles northwest ei'
Charleston en the line of the railroad be
tween Charleston and Augusta. He se
cured a lease for twenty years of the acres
of land, forming a part of the Middieleu
estate. The cxpeit who accompanied the
commissioner has had an extensive ex
perience in tea cultivation in India, lie
is te be placed in charge of the work in
Seuth Carolina, and will proceed at once
te prepare the soil. An invoice of tea seed
is expected very seen front India, aud a
portion will be planted immediately. Con
gress appropriated $3,000 last winter for the
establishment of an experimental tea farm.
If the means arc furnished te carry en the
work for a few years the commissioner
believes tea culture will become a profit
able American industrv.

James Augustine and family have lived in
that place for many ycirs and wcreposess wcrepesess

kept a geed d.:al of money iu the house.
On Friday afternoon Henry Augustine, a
nephew of Jamc, came from Chicago te
pay them a visit and tried vainly te get
them te drink from a bottle which proves
te have contained poisoned whisky.
About 11 o'clock at night he get up from
his bed sought the bed room of James
Augustine, and cocking a revolver began
te fire. Mrs. Augustine, was se badly
wounded that she died, James
Augustine was shot in the breast and
will probably die. Henry ran from the
room after firing several shots. The sons
hearing the firing came down stairs, and
Christian Augustine demanded of Henry,
whom he met iu the kitchen, what it
meant. Henry replied with a bullet,
which killed Christian instantly. He gave
a parting shot at the younger brother,
James, which only made a slight flesh
weuud, and tlicn coolly went te his uncle's
room and demanded admission, assuring
him he was all right and wanted te help
him. James, the son, get the reve'ver
from him and put him iu the kitchen,
locking the deer. Henry eseaped bare

captured. Lynching will probably fellow

A.SeriM of DtiUcMT CaflagraUeas
The Norwegian hotel at Madisen, Wis.,
has been burned at a Iesstf 84,500. Mrs.
B. M. Miller and. child were burned te'
death.
The large tannery of Freske & Galium,
Milwaukee, .was damaged by fire ou Sat
urday merniug te the extent of 83,300.
The less en stock was 818,000.
The Kanawaha county, peer heusu and
smoke house attached, ,at Wheeling, con
taining 20,000 pounds of bacon and ether,
articles, were destroyed by fire yesterday.
It is believed that the building was fired
by paupers. The less is 8 10,000 ; insured
for 84,000. ,
The famous' hotel the Meuut St. Vin
cent, kept by.MeJfrs. Ryan & Radferd, in
Central Park; was burned te the greuud
yesterday morning, aud thousands of New
Yorkers arc for the time being bereft of a
convenient, comfortable aud hospitable
resting place between the city aud "the
read."
The. most disastrous conflagration ever
known in Reck' Island visited the city en
Saturday night. The flames first appeared
in the pattern shops of B. D. Buferd &
Ce., plow manufacturers, and owing te
the inllamuiable nature of the material
they spread rapidli', the bursting of the
gas pipes of the buiidiug aiding them ma
terially. There was also trouble with the
water works and by 3 a. m. the cntiie
buiiding, 90 by 150 feet wide and three
stories high, was consumed. The floors
were used for hardening room, pattern
shop, weed working and storage. The
store rooms contained 15,000 plows, which
were destroyed. The proprietors state the
less at 8250,000 ; insurance, 800,000.
About 400 men are tin own "out of employ
ment. , "
At 2 o'clock, a. in., yesteiday, a lire
broke out in Aaren Wolf's crockery .store,
en the corner of Magazine and Common
streets, New Orleans, destroyed the build
ing and its contents, valued at $75,000 ;
insurance, $33,000. The building was sep
arated from IlanGcll'u establishment ou
Magazine street, which was burned the
previous night, by a double fireproof wall,
and the opinion is that the fire was net
communicated, but, like that iu Levis'
store the night before, was the work of an
incendiary.
l'ubllc Hall lluriie.l.
In Kingsten, N. Y., yesterday, smoke
was seen issuing from the Odd Fellows'
building, a four-story brick structure en
North Frent street, one of the lcadidg
business thoroughfares. The flames spread
rapidly aud seen were beyond control.
The buiidiug was occupied by Theodere
Speke, dealer in stoves aud bard ware, and
R. E. Best, dealer in hats and caps. The
adjoining buiidiug was a frame one, occu
pied by William, a dealer in beets and
shoes, aud Geerge W. Shaw, saddler.
While the firemen aud ethers were en
gaged in removing goods from Helmes's
store the high hi ick wall of the Odd Fel
lows' building fell in with a crash, bury
ing several peisens among the debris.
Every effeit was made te rescue them.
After working about twenty minutes,
Andrew Buntiii, a young man, was brought
out in a badly burned aud bruised condi
tion. He began te rave wildly, and it took
the combined dibits of three men te held
him It is believed that he will recever:
Twe ether parsons are thought te have
becti killed. Jehn Schoenmakcr, a mem
ber of the S.iulilcr hook and ladder com
pany, is thought te be one of the victims.
A (Uiurcli Uestieycd.
In Canten, Ohie, yesteiday while part
of the congregation iu the First Methodist
Episcopal church, of which the ltcv.
Hiram Miller is pastor, was kneeling
areuud the altar taking communion, and
while two hundred peisens were iu the
pews, just as the minister said 'Amen !"
an ominous cracking was heaid overhead.
aud from the ventilating register iu the
ceiling burst a volume of flanic: By the
dibits of the preacher and a few resolute
men the congregation was kept as quiet
as possible and a panic was averted, se
that everybody get safety out, only a few
being bruised. Had there net. beeu an
easy egress the result would have been
appalling, for the auditorium just vacated
was seen a furnace of fire and the city was
clouded with smoke. Owing te the cold
and the putting iu of new pumps at the
water works the firemen could net get
mere thau a twenty feet stream, and they
only tried le save the adjoining property.
Had it net bean for the covering of snow
which rests npen it the central pait of the
city would have been destroyed. The
Massillon lire, department was sent for,

" 4ke $ts predecefser, the present week
Was witbwt animation. Nothing worth
feakuif?bf tafcespired in the market.
Dealers seemed te havemothieg else to.tle
but te take stock and calculate losses. It
is likely that the intense cold,, which set iu
se suddenly, put a step te all transactions,
se that the close of the year was character
ized by no activity. It is te be hoped that
the present cold weather will kiudly con
tinue for a month or two. It would prove
the most effective preventive against leaf
packers rushing into the country and pay
ing extravagant figures te growers. Con
tinuous cold weather is also apt te. cool off
growers' ardor for unreasonable prices.
The longer their leaf is permitied te re
main with' thenir the mere apt 'arc they te
listen te reasonable offers. The transac
tions et the week were se small that we
give no summary of them."
Trade Notes.
Gaits' s rcpeit of last week's business was
published in the Intelligencer of Satur
day. The Italian tobacco contractors have
been in the New Yerk market lately. They
wanted te make a contract for the delivery
of 1,000 cases of seed wrappers at 40 cents
a pound, te be delivered at some pert in
Italy.
As a result of the persecution of Jews in
Germany, a renrescntative of the firm of
L. Grosskopf & Ce., heavy manufacturers
of cigars and cigarettes at Koenigsberg,
Prussia, has been in New Yerk lately ler
no less purpose thau the selecting of proper
quarters for the transfer of the business
of his firm iu Prussia te that city.
The Bosten Journal of Commerce reports
seed leaf iu that city as in moderate de
mand with prices firm, especially for Ha
vana grades.
In Philadelphia all kinds of manufactur
ed tobacco, except cigars, are very quiet.
The latter, however, arc active, aud man
ufacturers claim that the prospects for
1881 are very encouraging. Seed leaf is
quiet and steady. Habaua leaf is iu geed
demand at full prices.
The shop cigar aud bunch makeis of the
firm of Kerbs & Spiess, te the number of
000, and also the tenement house hands of
the same firm, have struck against a rc rc
ductieu of wages.
The government reports show that
$910,032.40 mere revenue was collected
from tobacco, cigars, &c, from July 1 te
Oct. 31, 1880, than in the corresponding
four months of 1879.
Ihe I'udt Vetr.
The U. S. Tobacco Journal has a charac
teristic review of the tobacco industry's
experience during the year just closed. It
says: "That a large business has been
done there is no doubt, especially in cigars,
of which, perhaps, a greater quantity was
made aud sold than in any previous year.
As te profit, that is a question which is
involved in considerable uncertainty. If
most of our prominent cigar manufactur
ers are ceirect in their estimate, they have
inave little or ue money. This they mainly
attribute te the "cutting" of prices, im
mense competition having reduced profits
te a minimum. One of the leading manu
facturers of the country asserts, for ex
ample, that the prominent manufacturers
of the United States have net, the past
year, made mere than an average profit of
eight per cent, en goods sold en tunc aud
only three per cent, ou goods sold for cash.
Granting the estimate ,.te be true, this,
considering the risks involved, caunet be
called a profitable business. Seme have
doubtless saved themselves from less by
practicing economy and keeping expenses
down te the lowest possible point."
The Journal declares that the leaf trade
has also been unprofitable aud, of course,
lays the blame te its hobby, the high
prices paid for the '79 crop of Pennsylvania
aud the inferiority of the crop, which it
says hasiueventcd the domestic sale or ex
portation of the crop. Hew the new year
may be made a happy and profitable one
the astute Journal thus tells :
" Let leaf dealers exercise greater care
in buying froth growers and pay only such
figures as will cover all possible risks.
Let cigar manufacturers aud jobbers iu
manufactured tobacco give up the hurtful
policy of 'cutting' prices below living
profits, a course they have 'been pursuing
te a greater extern than ever during the
past year."

The old lime sne'w storm has come, and
although net 17 feet in depth, it is suffi

standing. On Thursday morning, the
30th tnst., three thermometers in different
places steed respectively 14, 18 and 17 de
grees below zero, and several frozen cars
were the result. Rca Reed, in going from
his home, a distance of about one mile,
had one of his cars frozen. Geerge Hart-
man and W. D. Itusll also, in going short
uisuiuccs in tut' lneruiug, uiscevercu

quiet old horse, feeling the keen bracing
breeze, started rather briskly, and Heward
tried te held him in, which brought the
geed old leader ''tee much haw." Heward
lit in a snow drift in company with oil and
blankets, and old Jerry went home alone.
Heward gathered himself and the rest of
the wreck together and thought te himself,
" If I had a' knewsd this I would have left
these blankets at home."
Quite a complaining is heard from every
quarter en account of a lack of fuel ; the
past open winters have had the effect of
spoiling the "lords of the house," and
they did uet lay iu enough te carry them
comfortably through this unexpected'
" geed old Democratic winter."
Tobacco stripping still gees quietly ou,
aud no sales are heard of. The raisers in
this vicinity are determined te sell at any
reasonable figure, but will net allow them
selves te be frighted into giving their crop
away.
D. G. Stcacy's crop of nearly four acres
will be .ready for full inspection iu a few

which commences en the 14th and' closes
en the 19th iust. The Readiug exhibition
c'eses ou the 14th and the Pettsville ex
hibition opens ou the 19th. As there are
some fanciers who would like te exhibit at
all these shows, it had been suggested that
birds from the Readiug might be received
at Lancaster en the 14th aud shipped te
Pottsville ou the 19th.
The secretary was directed te give notice
te the managers and exhibitors at the
Reading show that fowls from that place

but that the judging of birds at the Lan
caster fair would commence promptly at
neon ou that day ; aud that the secretary

show who wish te exhibit at Pettsville can
have their birds shipped thence en the
morning of the 19th.
The secretary repotted that he had re
ceived contributions amounting te $22 te
be offered as special premiums. It was
desirable te have at least $50, and he
therefore called upon members for volun
tary contributions. Quite " number of
members responded.

Mr. Evans mentioned the fact that there
bad been 'shipments of North Carolina
quail te the Game association of this coun
ty, and suggested that it would be a geed
thing te have them ou exhibition at the

mcmbui s of the Game association and it
was agreed te place the quail en exhibi
tion. On mi'tiuu of Chas. E. Leng, the secre
tary was authorized te have printed a
