Palersoti In New Jersey had in 1873 30silk maiiufactorieM*'ithin its limits. Its population was tlft n about 30.000.-- Now it has 102 factors engaged in the silk industry, which employs 12,599 operatives, who eari than four $80,000 daily; and which turn out an annual product valued at ovefr twelve million dollars. The present population ot that city is over 50,000. The farmers for miles around find* good market for their products tfi^re, and eager buyers for hard cash at prices consider­ ably higher than arc current at the not-far-distant New ^ork markets.-- Everywhere thronghoot our land there are such busy centers of industry springing up, which provide markets tor agricultural products. M U L E V O U U S K I E . Fight your own battles. Hoe your own row. Ask no f*vorl of any one. and you'll succeed five thousand times bett°r than any one who is always be- seeclitag some one's nntronage. No one will ever help you tn you help your­ self. because no one wHl be so heartily interested in 3'our nflalrs. The first step will not be such a lotig one per­ haps; but carrying your own way up tlin mountain, you make each one lead to another, and stand firm in that while you chop another out. Men who have made fortunes are not those who have had five thousand dollars given them to start with, bit started fair with a well earned dollar or t»*o. Men who have by their »wa"nxeW(pt;s acquired fame, have not been thlhwr. tuUB- pop­ ularity by hegSfsi given in friendly spirit. l 'liey have outstretched their hands and touched the public heart. Men who win love do their own wooing, and wc never knew a man to fail so signally as on.- who had induced his nflectionnte grand­ mamma to speak a good word for him Whether you work for fame, for love] for money, or for anything else, work with your hands, heart and brain. .Say "I will!" and some day you will conquer. Neverletanv man have it to say."'I have dragged j-ou up." Too many friends hurt a man more than none at all. I©r No event in our Revolutionary history was more worthy of patriotic commemoration than the arrest of Major Andre, which foiled the infa­ mous treason of Arnold that would have handed over the valley to the British power. The centennial anni­ versary of that momentous crisis was filly celebrate J September 23. by the unveiling of a monument at Tarrytown on the spot where John Paulding, David Williams and Isaac Van Weil captured the young British officer, and in spite of all his pleas and off­ ering bribes, deli vered iiim to justice. The story of the stern, uucomproinis- fidelity to patriotism and principle thai inspired the lathers of the Re­ public cannot too often be rehearsed, to those who have inherited the price­ less institutions that can only be maintained by the same Intcgritj* and loyalty. fl^"Not only ia this country is the weakening of social morality, as indi­ cated by the increase of divorces, a source of alarm, hut in England also the marriage tie seems to be losing its saceduess and stability. There '"ere 643 cases before the Loudon Divorce Court last year, and between BOO and 600 marriages were dissolved. An il­ lustration of tlie prevalence of the great vice of England appears in the fact that one of the commonest causes of separation between man and wife is intemperance, the fruitful parent of domestic misery everywhere. A handsome young man sat day after day at a desk by the window of a store at llillsboro, Ky. A handsome young woman sewe\i almost as con­ stantly at the window of her residence just across the street. They began a flirtation with, handkerchiefs, develop­ ed it into courtship with notes, and fi­ nally eloped--all without exchanging a spoken word until the night of the flight. Another remarkable feature ot the case was the fact that the wo­ man was the wife of the Rev. Jamas A. Caywood, a highly respectable Metho­ dist pastor, Ti i k "New Process" Flour, manufac­ tured by Hanlv & Sons. McHenry. is giving unusual satisfaction wherever us.ed Ask your Grocer for it. ANOTHER IM8COVKRY. Prof. Swift, Astronomer of the War­ ner Observatory, of Rochpster, N. Y., discorered another large coiutt on the • vening of October 10th. The fact was noted in the associated press dis patches, but some Important and in­ teresting details which could "not be telegraphed are herewith given. The new celestial visitor Is in the con&tel- latio-i of Pe^ases. right ascension, 21 hours,30 minutes, declination North 17 degrees 30 minutes. Its rate of mo­ tion is quite slow, being In a north­ westerly direction so that it is ap­ proaching the sun. It bus a very sirong condensation on one side of the center^ in addition to a star-like nn« dens which indicates that i-t is throw­ ing oil an extended tail. From the fact of its extraordinary fcize, we are warranted in presuming that it will be very brilliant, and the additional fact that it is coming almost directly toward the earth, gives good promise that it will be one of the most remark­ able comets of the present century. This is the fifth comet which Prof. Swift has discovered, and the increased facilities which Mr. II. II. Warner, the poptdar and wealthy medicine man, has given him, by erecting a magnifi­ cent Observatory for his benefit, prom­ ise much more for the future. There is a possibility that further develop­ ments will prove this to be the great comet «.f 1812, which is being constant­ ly expected, in which event, astrone, tners will have an unusual opportunity to test the spectroscopu fur the first time upon these eccentric bodies* and ascertain certainly what, ' they are. " JB^-Ool. Robert Ingersoll. in his recent eloquent speech at Rock ford thus gave hi? opinion of the Republi­ can nominee for president: We have a man wlio is a trained statesman, and whose opinions are well known to all the intelligent people of this union, lie was us good a soldier :«s Hancock was. The man who makes up his mind In a time of profound peace to make war the business of his l j fe; the trim who is adopted by the government; the man who makes war his profession, is. In my judgment, no bettor than the man who in time of peace would rather follow the avoca­ tions of peace, and who when war comes, w hen the blast of conflict blows in his ears, buckles on his sword and rights for hi-> native land, and, when- wiir is back to the avoca- wag as good a soidier us Hancock, aiiil 't 'wtjr 1 hat (Jat lielil took away from the Held of Chicliamauga as much honor as one man can carry.

Wis. A young man of that city who. either through snobbery 0.1 lazi­ ness, will never carry a package through the street, made a purchase the other day of six collars and a neck tie. aad. as usual, ordered them to be delivered at his residence. Soon after­ ward a two horse freight wagon was backed up to the door, and the package laberiously placed 011 the steps by the driver and an assistant, who inquired whether it should be left in the hall or carried upstairs.

Aid Is being solicited for the inhabitants of certain counties in which the wheat crop failed this year and the corn crop was devoured by the web worm.

Octobcr 13. l&Oi Ed i t o r Pl a i \ i » k a i . e b:--The inter­ est. in the election Is everv day grow­ ing more intense here at the Capitol - State associations are in session night­ ly, and tons of Republican documents are being sent to doubtful voters in every Northern State. Thousands have left for their homey to engage in the work of the-campaign. Money is raised to help voters unable to pay the ex­ pense of the reduced fare given by nearly all railroads. The work done by the National Republican Committee thus far has been four times that of any previous Piesidentia! campaign. Every Republican agency is energized by one thought, a j)ea.reful victory if possible over the frauds of the solid South. Letter writing, Hancock, "I" and brass buttons seem stragely mixed on Governor's Island. The effusion of Hancock to representatives of the ship­ ping interests was "gushy.'* Only 106 words, yet "I," candidate, was Hlioveri in ten times. His last, has 128 words, and "I" is sandwiched In with brass buttons eleven,times. The brisk air of New York harbor, and the coming 138 votes ot the Solid South, have an exlilffcrati ng influence upon this gush­ ing candidate. The Democratic party stands con­ victed before the world of attempting, in 1876, to capture the government by buying ele -toiial votes with "bar'ls" of money, sandwiched with knives, shot­ guns, assassinations and murders. Will loyal men trust them in 1S80 with their votes. It Is no wonder that the South is solid for the rebel Democracy. Armed men, backed by the power of the Government, have, ever since Lee's surrender, been waging a war for the suppression of illicit distilling, in the interest of enforcing the Revenue law and the collection of whiskey tax.-- When has auyefiort in like manuer heen made by this magnanimous government to suppress murders, night rjders frauds, or to enforce the rights of frccdmen ui.de;' the'fourteeuth and fifteenth amendments. A ̂ distinguish­ ed clergyman, widely known through the South, a rebel during the war and for Hancock now. admitted to your correspondent a few weeks since that he had known a multitude of colored men being killed since the war by the wlVtes, but iMtd never known one pun­ ished for such killing. The arena of strife changed at the surrender. It was a struggle |pr four yoar|, prior ^o tlie farce at Appomattox, against thd Union--and from that date the battle has been against the Union men of the South. With no protection from the government, and many a conflict, these loyal men have been forced to surren­ der. The South is solid 01 cjurse. What we may expect of Hancock with his 13S solid votes may be gues­ sed from a slight scrutiny of the record of the present Congress. The follow­ ing rebel officers, booted and spurred, are chairmen of committee in the U. S. Senate. Read it voters of the 'North who are for Hancock, and make the ac­ quaintance of the men who even now control the legislation and make the laws for you and shape the the destiny of your country. The list has a strong smell of South­ ern war paint: The rebel General Maxey is chairman of the Post Office committee; rebel Capt. Coke, chair­ man India 1 Affairs; rebel Col. Wint­ ers, chairman Pensions; rebel Geo. Cock re 11, chairman Claims; rebel Col. Harrison, chairman Dist. Columbia; rebel Senator Garland, of Jeff. D.ivis1 Congress, chairman Territories; rebel Gen. Ransom, chairman Railroads; rebel Gen. J. E. Bailey, chairman Edu­ cation; rebel Gen. M. C, Butler, chair­ man Civil Service; rebel Col Lamar, chairman Mississippi Levees; rebel Gen. Morgan, chairman Electorial Count; rebel Gen. Butler, chairman Retrenchment; rebel Gen, Gordon, chairman Commerce; rebel Gen. Ilill, chairman Contingent Expenses; rebel Gen. Vest, chairman Public Service.-- In the House the following rebels hold chairmanships of committees: rebel Col. Atkins, Appropriations; rebel Get;, llnuton, Dist. Columbia; rebel ex-Post­ master Gen. Reagvi, Commerce ; rebel Gen. Scales, Indian Affairs; rebel Col Muldrow. Territories; rebel Col. Ca­ bell, Railroads; Confederate V-Pres. A. II.

The sufferings from famine no longer fill the land with cries of distress, but the fnry of the ignorant tenant class fills tip realm with apprehension. Feuianlstn is a formidable power, and eantlone observers are prepared to see a revolu­ tionary outbreak. The blood of Lord Mountmovres seems to have frensed the comrades of his assassins, anil they thirst lor carnage. Mr. Paraell, the man who should have calmed the tur­ moil and counseled the agitators to confine themselves to peaceable meas­ ures. has incited the multitude to vlo- lence. Hejis recognized as virtually a Fenian leader.,and if a revolution breaks forth, he uiOre than any other man will be responsible for the bloodr shed. What the result of a revolution­ ary struggle would be seems difficult to fortell. although there are tlio** who profess to see in the thoroughness of Fenian organization and in the deep seated discontent ot the people the promise that revolution would suc­ ceed The British government is wnin* what embarrassed in sending troops t* repress an outbreak, sii-ce the war in India has drawn heavily upon tlitt available force, and numerous coiopl - cations make the present'an uufortun­ ate time lo deal with an Irish revolt.-- The dark shadow of famine which hat rested over Ireland so long lias chang­ ed to a black, threatening cloud of war. and fortunate will the inhabit­ ants of the Emereld isle.be if Iheir laud is not deluged In blood. UtileM an unexpected extrication from the present dangers is effected, terror will reign in Ire laud fur luany mouths to i, . come. pg-Democratic frauds who claim that Samuel J. Tilden was robbed of majorities iu the south which he never had, should take time to read the fol­ lowing. from a recent Issue of tbt Birmingham, Ala., Democratic organ, ( ^ the 2'nte hsttue. It says: Democratic papers realize that dam­ age has been done Hancock by this put- up-majority of 95,UU0. The cry of fraud which has been raised by the cheated and wronged people is repeat­ ed t liroughont ttie laud, and is tell lug fearfully against us at the north, and blighting chances that were bright up to the ti uo the manipulators bandied that iniijuity that disgraces the legis­ lation of the last session, the new elec- lion law. It was intended to defraud, and was soused. It is too much, how­ ever. and the 95,05)0 majority looks o» ugly as did the 7 to 8 commission four years ago. There was 110 occasion for so gigantic a fraud for any party pur­ poses. Twenty thousand majority would have been fully enough to secure all the offices of the state and tested the working character of the "machine** that can grind out ballots and add up a majority that does not exist, that dis­ franchises people and denies aliens the right of a free ballot and au hon*»t count. Alabama carried by the fraud of a mean, villianous election law, loses to the party iu the United States the choice of a president, and make*, perhaps, a radical change.
