In commenting upon the contest for St»te treasurer, the editor of the Holll* daysburg Register says: '"Hon ,T. I.ee Plutnmer, the Republi can candidate for state treasurer, lias the ability to fill that office with credit. This fact cannot bo success fully contradicted; besides, he Is known by the people with whom ha has lived all his life to be perfectly honest and reliable and a man of tha j strictest integrity. While not a Pro | hibitionist, he is a man of the strictest i temperance habits. These are facta i which cannot be controverted. He was j regularly nominated In a Republican j state convention, composed of dele gates who were chosen by the Republl j cans of the various counties of the i slate. "There was every opportunity for \ any man In the state to contest the j nomination with him. He was nomi j rated fairly ns the candidate of hist | party Now, what Republican can havo ' a valid excuse to vote against hims : Ip it better that the Republicans as ! slst a Democrat Into one of the best j offices of the state, or vote for their candidate, who is In every way worthy? j The opposition is trying hard to rais» a respectable fight against him. hut i the only possible show they will h*>v<? will be through the votes of Repubii ; cans Why should we aid them in i their work?" A Word to State Republicans. | "The Republican party is not re sponsible lor the misuse that has been ntade of it in Philadelphia," says too editor of the Juniata Herald. "The truth is that it deserves credit for cor ! reeling the wrongs that have been com- I mitted by some of its faithless mem bers. The corruption that has existed in Philadelphia is wholly of & local . character and the party in the state has : no connection with or relation to It. Why should the party elsewhere suffer ion account of it? Why sliould state ; candidates be defeated because of what ; lias occurred in a single city? If the j sins of a few were to be visited upon | the party when could it ever be fcuc- I cessful?

Very funny it ia, from the human point of view, to witness the love-mak ing of a couple of owls on a moonlight uight, as they sit together on the cop ing of an old wall, or on the horizontal limb of some giant of the forest. Perch ed 011 the same bough, or the same wall ; or ruin, the lady owl, though usually much bigger and etrot.ger than her mate looks the plctuiv of demure coy j ness, if a little excited inwardly, like I a girl at lier first ball. But the male owl, saya the Tall Mall I Magazine, is very much in earnest; for ■ a moment or two ho remains quite still, then he puffs out all his feathers, bows, and titters a softened scream, followed by a modified hiss that is full of lender meaning ani then he nudgea her with his wing; siip opens her big eyes very wide, and gives him a side long glance that may be a hint, for, horrible to relate, from the depths of his interior he instantly brings up a half-digested mouse; and, although she is full of similar rodents and stag booties as she can comfortably hold, she opens tier mouth and accepts the fuu.rant gift wiith a murmur of satis faction that speaks volumes of love and thanks. Then, when the dainty morsel has been disposed of, they ca ress each other tenderly for a moment or two, and then sit closely pressed to each other's side whilo the process of ! assimilation is perfected, after which tbey simultaneously Hit away into the moonlight on noiseless *ving in search of further prey.
