THE relations of sugar and meta physics are not so manifest as to com mand general and eager recognition.

There is no doubt about the good sense of it, though. ONCE upon a time there was a heads man at Paris so deft in his art that he bad to administer pinches of snuff to his clients by way of convincing them that their heads were really off. And we might, good-naturedly, add, that some of the late officials about the Court House, had almost as much trouble convincing themselves that their heads were really off. A WESTERN paper speaks of the house-cleaning season as that when di vine woman has her own way at the house, while the "old man" takes his solemn repast from the top of the flour barrel, and, in sleeping, enjoys the free dom of the interval between his bed room and the front fence.

SILK manufacturing is destined to become a leading industry in Pennsyl vania. There are very many localit.es in the State where these and similar factories could be established, for the reason that in our rural districts there are populations which do not have as much employment as they arc desirous of securing. This surplus labor could be bad at very reasonable wages, and is of a character much more staple than the turbulent elements massed within and near the cities of the first and sec ond class.

A druggist in Bangor, Maine, was re cently aroused from his sleep late at night by a man who wanted a little brandy for his wife, who was very ill, and might die if relief was not quickly afforded. After hesitating a moment, in fear of the penalty, the druggist's prey overcame his prudence, and he gave the fellow a small quantity of brandy. Next morning he was arrested for the violation of the law regulating the sale of liquor. The distressed hus band of the night before had bloomed into an agent of a temperance society, who informed on the kind hearted drug gist. A OREATLY increased demand of mut ton from America, for the consumption of England, is likely to ensue this year. In consequence of the continued cold and wet weather of the past sea son, foot and liver rot have been very destructive to sheep there.

In some instances, after butcher ing sheep which it was supposed would be passable mutton, the inner part of the carcass was found rotten and uneatable, and tho only thing saved of any value was the pelt. The various breeds of Down sheep are the best for us to breed for the English market; for they are not only the most salable, bit the most profitable.

It is no easy task to analyze the Presidential outlook, and as the time for holding the National Convention approaches, it will he even more dill cult. The name* of four men are prin cipally before the people. Blaine. Grant, Sherman and Washburn. The lirnt boom waa that of Pennsylvania It was subsidized so as to make it ap pear favorable to Grant, but nothing is more certain in all the world than the stubborn fact that the undoubted choice of the Keystone State is for Blaine. Disguise it as you may, unit rule as you will, he is pre-eininently the enthusiastic idol of our people. Every day confirms this opinion. Xext came New York which was ma nipulated in the same way as the Con vention of this State and by the same meagre majority pronounced for Grant, but it does not* aptly reflect the popu lar sentiment of the fiiupire State. He doubtless has a larger following there than here, but the Utiea Convention was not a true index to the general sentiment of that people. Next was to have been Illinois, and with it the tri angular plan would have lieen JKT fected and the main preleminary work accomplished, but that State wisely postponed its Convention until a later date. The only county which has elected delegates, gives Blaine the lead. Rhode Island will support him solidly, BO will Maine, Kansas and lowa have similarly declared their intentions as far as heard from. Ohio is wheeling into line, notwithstanding Sherman hails from there, ami it becomes more and more apparent that the majority of the people prefer Blaine over and above all others. If their wishes shall be res pected, the National ticket will read, "For President, James G. Blain<- of Maine'"—and if they want him, they will elect him. We want the lu st man to win. As far as it is possible to un derstand the beatings of the public pulse, there can be no reasonable doubt that he leads the van. If there must be a compromise candidate it is probable that Washburne will be the man on whom the Chicago Convention will unite, and the party if they can not have Mr. Blaine, desire him as their second choice. Were we to be asked, what would lie our advice as to who to select, we should unheHita tinjfly sav—select that man whom the popular will points out. If that be done, they will take care of the rest. Let the people rule, and all will come out well in the end.— BV«< Chunter Republican. Don't Olve Up. What if you have tried different "put up" medicines in vain.

A dispatch from London dated April 4th, says: It is expected at the Lib eral headquarters that the total gains will reach 100 scats. The enthusiasm, excitement and confidence of the Lib erals are daily augmenting. It is re marked esj»ecially that the Lilieral gains have been hitherto exclusively English. Briefly, the whole contest turned on the question put last No vember by Mr. Gladstone in Midolo thian, "Do you want to be governed as you have been governed for the last six years?" England answers No! The extent of the victory surprises the most sanguine Liberals. The party chiefs expected a small majority, and intended, if unable to form a strong Ministry to carry on the Government without Home Rule help, immediately to introduce a bill reforming the county franchise, redistributing the seats, and then dissolve anew with the certainty of returning a large Lilieral majority. This scheme is probably now unneces sary, but reform is among the first measures.

The Newspaper Advertising Bureau. To George P. Howell A; Co.'s Newspaper Ad vertising Bureau, Id Spruce street. New York, the press ami the public nre inilchtc'l for most of the statistics of American Newspapers. When this firm commenced business in 1HI;."I, there was not accessible to the public,anything which approximated a complete Ncwsjiaper List. It was the custom of the advertising agencies to keep their's secret, believing tlmt they thereby made it necessary for advertisers to consult them. In 18 Messrs. fieo P.

In the preface of that work oc curred this pnrngrnph: "We have always believed, and labored in the belief, that, im Advertising Agents, it w:i« and should be iu our jM.wcr to lie of material service to both advertiser and publisher, and we know no lietter way to convince them of the value of our services thnn by issuing this book, thus cunbling them to communicate with out our aid ; this we do in the belief that we shall thereby the sooner persuade them of the utility of employing and raging our Agency." The result showed the (xivition to be well taken. Within twelve months their firm was • n receipt of a patronage larger than had ever lie fore been accorded lobii Advertising Agency. It is a fact, frequently commented upon, that there is no other biisinens interest of the coun try, the statistics of which lire ho thoroughly set forth and made public, lis that of making New!' that year, writes as follows : "I have frequently bad occasion to notice the big way in which the A inericans do tilings,and I do not know that It would be ea} the XeWHpHper Mini ling in the Kxliibition grounds."

One of the strongest holds whit II this Adver tising Bureau has upon the newspapers, is ob tained by their system of making prompt pay ments for work done.

It may be asserted with entire fidelity to the truth that no Legislature for the last forty years has lieen exempt from the leprous disease of bribe-taking. Up wards of a third of u century ago there was a conviction in the Courts of Dauphin county for corrupt solicita tion of members of the Legislature. The truth is that the |)eople them selves are, in a great measure, in fault. Especially is this the fact in the great centres of population. "The party primaries, the real source of political power, are neglected by the intelligent and upright voter. Men without character, often without edu cation, are foisted upon the party at the nominating meetings and the party afterward sustains them at the polls. In this way the Legislature is tainted with an incompetent and corrupt mem bership, and the lobby, with all its de moralizing agencies, is a natural con sequence. While, therefore, it is well for the Court 'to vindicate the offended majesty of the law,' it were far Itetter for the people to vindicate their title to self-government by sending a superior class of men to the Legislature." « We are still selling Car|>ets at the extremely low prices we did at the opening of the season, >it ILLTTKIT k RALSTON'S.
