If the people generally hrd as little for

the door for war to enter.
Men talk of going to war to settle dis
putes of bad men. There is no troutle in
the political situation but that can be set
tled through the forms of law. If the
American l eople cannot settle thsir disputes
without going to war about them, their
boasted civilization is a farce, and their
government a snare, a delusion.

Ilr. Edgar King, editor of the Altoona

Mr. Keating, of California, thus
wrote to a widw : " Metbinks some

and think of tbee, I fancy I see the
canopy of heaven open and a bright

One of the singular characteristics
of the closirg boars of the late rrest
Jenliaf campaign, is the fact that on
the evening of election day, before the
polls were closed. Democrats began to
declare that Tilden had been elected
and if any other result than that was
reached it must be a fraudulent result.
Tbcy kept repeating that continually
until by midnight and 1 o'clock on the
morning of the day alter the election
they believed the story themselves, and
commenced to talk about a great jubi
lee in honor of the event, the principal
features of which were ox roasts and
attending luxuries.
s
The sum of money 'bet'' on Hayes
and Tilden in New York is estimated at
one Lundred and fifty millions of dol
Jars, and a proportionate amount in all
large towns and cities. That amount
of money at stake among gamblers is
sufficient to get up a great excitement
wherever they frequent. The gamblers
and other bad people are the only
Classes that talk of a civil war folio
ing the announcement of the election of
Hayes or Tilden. The great mass of
the people of both parties will have no
war over a question that can be settled
without it, and they are determined
that the gamblers, bummers, loaftrs
and other useless men shall not bring
about a war. The very men who so
flippantly talk about war are the people
who in the end would come out the
losers. It is the duty of all good citi
lens to set themselves against such peo
pie ; they are bad people.
On Saturday a week, about 3 o'clock
afternoon, Amos lielfrich, aged about
14 years, left bis father's house in Here
ford township, Berks county, and went
to a strip ot woods to gather chicken
grapes, lie climbed a tree for that
purpose, got fast in the forks of two
limbs, .and was not found till on the
following Monday morning about seven
o'clock. lie was entirely unconscious,
and remained so until on Wednesday,
when he revived and was strong enough
to tell Lis fearful adventure. He said
he had climbed up a tree about thirty
feet after some cb:cken grapes, on bat'
urday afternoon about three o'clock
The limb Was slippery and he lost bis
foothold and fell toward the ground
In his descent be was caught in the
fork of the branches, where he was so
tightly wedged that he could not possi
bly free himself. He was bruised and
very weak. He screamed at the top of
his voice, but as not beard. That
night be thoupbi be would die. All
day Sunuay and Sunday night he was
delirious, and toward .Monday morning
be became unconscious, and remained
so until found.
All the bachelor editors, and all the
sour, cnarled, widower editors, who
have bad as many wires as thsy could
get, and ate still hrpicg for other in

item in their papers:
"To get np a handkerchief fiiKa'ation,
get two handkerchief, and two fools, and
the rules ot flirtation.
An exchange, out of pity for the ed
itors who published the above acrid no
tice on handkerchief flirtation, has pub
lished the rules. They are as follows :
Drawing the handkerchief across the lips,
means, 1 desire an acquaintance.
letting it rest on the rijrht check Yes.
Letting it rest on the leu cheek No.
Folding it I wish to speak with you.
Dropping it We will be friends.
Opposite corners in both hinds Do wait
for me.
Taking it by the centre You are almost
too willing.
Drawing it across the cheek I love you.
Twisting it in the right band I love an
other. Twisting it in both hands Indifference.
Drawing it across the eyes I am sorry.
Drawing it through the bands I hate you.
Twisting it in the leit hand I wish to be
rid of you.
Winding it around the fore finger I am
engaged.
Winding it around the third finger I am
married. '
Placing it over the right ear Uow you
have changed.
Over the shoulder Follow me.
Drawing it across the lorehead Look, we
are watched.
Pulling it in the pocket No more

Jcrots Jcnkjn lately rendered an
important opinion affecting lload Super
visors. It appears William Leedj and
Robert C. Bradyau, Supervisors of
Feun township, Perry county, were al
lowed by the Auditors 5 per cent, on
both duplicates, which together aggre
gate $2,153.89. after all expenses were
deducted. Of $2,153.89 taxes in the
duplicates, $1,651 93 was paid in labor,
and the balance, $501.96, was collect
ed by the supervisors in eash. Not
withstanding this small amount collect
ed in cash, the supervisors charged 5
per cent, on the full amount of both
duplicates, and the Auditors allowed it.
Judgo Junkin decides that the super
visors can only charge the 5 per cent,
on what they actually collected id cash,
and nothing on that part of the taxes
paid in labor. In fact, he fcays it is
questionable whether they bare a right
to charge any per cent, for money they
collect, as tbey are not collectors and
are paid by the day for their labor.
The law pro sides that tbey shall appoint
a suitable person to collect the taxes,
and that such person shall be allowed 5
per cent. ; but only for what be acta
ally collects in cash. The law also re
quires that supervisors shall give pnblic
notice f a fixed time and place to meet
all tax-payers, when and where the
amount to be worked out by each tax
payer who wantt to work shall be
agreed upon.

A Detroit boy, after finishing the
last chapter of a book called " The
Pleasures of the Deep," pleaded with
is father to let him ship aboard a lake
schooner. The old man smiled a grim
smile, took the case nnder considers-
ion, and in a few davs the boy was on
the rolling deep, having 6bippcd as a
greenhorn on a vessel in the lumber
trade, lie sailed to Saginaw, came
down and crossed to Toledo, and next
day trs appeared in Detroit, lame and
stiff, bis throat sore, one eye nearly
shot, and a feeling of humbleness run
ning all through him. w What! bask
again V cried the old man, as the boy
entered the bouse. " Yes, father, 1
want to saw all the wood for winter,
bring in all the coal, clean out the cel
lar and paint the barn, and you needn't
but give me but two meals a day."
Don t you like sailing V "rather,

bout it. Ibe captain sailed right
along on Sunday, the same as any other

He wouldn t give me an umbrella
when it rained, he made aie sit up most
II night, and two or three times he
called me up at midnight and made mo
haul on ropes and drag old sails around.
There wasn't a single night when all of
us got off to bed at 9 o clock, and there
wasn't a day that he didn't . boss ns
around aud break in on u& every time
we got to reading anything good ! I
like land, father, and 1 wish yon owned
a farm!"
A FatAl Love At a late meeting
of the Board of Health of Reading,
Pa., the following statement waa made
of the manner in wbicb a young man
caught the small pox : " He met bis
sweetheart on the street in the evening
and accompanied ber home. On the
front door was a red patch, but she said
nothing' abont any member of the fam
ily having the small-pox. She con
cealed the fact from her lover, and con
dusted him into the house by m side
door so that be should not see the red
patch on the front door. He caught
the small-pox from the infected house,
and was the means of communicating
the disease to bis father, who died:

Up Salt River Tie explana
tion of the Political Slang Term The
origin of the expression " np Salt
Kiver," as applied to a defeated politi
cal party, was ac follows :
Davy Crockett, the famous Kentucky
Congressman, while a hig candidate,
was challenged by his Democratic op
ponent to meet him on the stump in
joint discussion. Crockett accepted,
and the day and place were fixed, but
Crockett did not appear, and the peo
ple, thinking him afraid to do so, ral
lied for bis opponent and elected htm.
It afterwards turned out that Crockett,
who bad started for the place in a canoe
propalled by a negro, bad been landed
in the forjst at the head waters of Salt
River, by his treacherous guide, who
then swiftly paddled off down the
stream. Crockett was too good a hunt
er to starve in the wilderness, but he
was totally unable to reach the appoint
ed place in time, and gave it up, and
with it bis chances of election. Hence
the phrase " Up Salt River" meaning
that a patty is hopelessly defeated.
