A Larger Stock of MEDIITM and FINE GOODS and LOWER PRICES than any other housfiiothe trade. Probable Duration of the Mixed Party. The new party movement rests, for Its existence, upon certain contingen­ cies which we fust the few coming months will dijpose Nie* York Herald well says: The labor movement is one of those transient uprisings which swell into notice and subside with passing events The long period of business: stagnation and distress which has weighed upon all classes since the disastrous collapse of 1873 has made the laboring classes impatient and almost desperate, and ready to swallow any nostrum which promises relief. If this pro tract 6*9* tie- pres*ion continues the labor movement will grow; but a general revival of trade and industry would cause it to subside. Full employment for labor, whenever it shall come, will brighten the condition of all classes and diffuse social tranquility and content. We are already iu the dawn of renewed prosperity. The farmers of the coun­ try are gathering the tnost abundant and magnificent harvest with which they haveoeyer been blessed, and the certainty of cheap, food, as well as cheap fabrioes, will give moderate wa­ ges as great a command over the means of living as was possessed by the high­ er wages of flush times. OUT currency is already substantially at par with gold, and consequently beyond danger of further fluctuation. We are to have formal resumption on the 1st of Janu­ ary and our exportation of agricultur­ al products, including the gre&tstaple of cotton, is likely to be so large as to remove all reasonable doubt of oar ability to iriaintain the experiment.-- Assured resumption, by removing all danger of a further depreciation of property, wiJJ impart confidence a tail encourage enterprise, and if 1879 should be a good business year the la- bpr movement will disappear^ leaving 'hardly a ripple on tiie surface of our politifg. If General Butler i^to make anything of the new agitation nfrtnivst accomplish it during the eouuug aut­ umn or th£<rqpportunity will be past. n -- . . . . as®* A "disgusted democrat" in Janesvillo, Wis., after surveying the sort of chaps that are running the Fiat party, comes to this conclusion con­ cerning them aud their shinplaster scheme: Any man who "don't know enough to know" that ihe proposed flat money would surelpand rapidly depreciate to nothing on the dollar, don't know enough to be a citizen of this free and enlightened country, atul had better emigrate. No human power could prevent such a result. Nothing short of almighty pow#r could keep suuii a currency at par, or any where near it. Old IVifer Cooper wrote a letter a short time >ago advocating an issue of enoug4i green-backs to puy oil the na­ tional debt. 1 suppose he would send li to Europe to pay oft*hur bonds held tl.ere; but he don'fc slate where he would get vessels enongh to transport if. lie niight Ipad the Great Eastern from w °"e thousand 6)onar hi lis or the stuft anil when he got to England or Gf-rmany he could not buy a $100 bond with the whole of it. But if Peter Cooper was fifty or sixty years youiger he would n*»t make such a foolish proposition. In looking over the situation we find tluit the leaders of this damphool party are a lot of soreheaded deniogogues, po­ litical deadbeats and financial bank­ rupts from both the old political par­ ties. Look up the pedigree of any on*! of I hem f rom B. Butler or Sam Carey down to the one-horse politician like this Parker of Beloit. and you will find either a chronic office seeker, a victim of disapointed ambition, an old woru- nnt pniiiirn! iiuc't, wiio has been laid on the shelf or b?en dismissed from some government office, or'else a man of financial difficulties, who has a vague 1d»'ii that an inflated currency and wild speculation would enable him to re­ trieve his broken fortunes. Such men .are the leaders of the so-called green­ back party, and that they should ob­ tain many followers among men who claim to possess any common sensp one of the most amazing averts this century. AMRRlCAK(UOOOS IN ENGLAND. C. B. Webster, United States Counsui at Sheffield, England, reports to. the Department of State at Washington: "The number of articles of American manufacture, and the quantities,, of agricultural produce imported into that district, is very large. There is a prejudice against American manufac­ tures to overcome. It is said 'they will not last.' But those ..implements, like hay-forks, that Mve been provedv are getting a large sale. One firm in Sheffield has sold this season 2,300 doz­ ens of hay-forks. 32 dozens of scythe- snaths, 2,145 dozens of locks, 1,200 doz­ ens of iron planes, 1,185 dozens of box­ wood rules, 2,852 dozens of /hat and coat hooks, 220 dozens of hammers, And a variety of ether articles of American prod net! otf. Other flrmf^Tfave large sales. One firm reports their importa­ tions from the United States at £7,000, mostly small articles, like axe-handles, screws, sash-fasteners, wrenches, etc.-- A sharp competition must be expected.- Already articles are made iu England to imitate the American, b^t of poorer quality. It is of the first importance that the American manufactures should keep the quality of their goods up to the highest standard. The amount of fresh meat (Ameri­ can) sold iu Sheffield during the' last six months is 181,370 pounds. The prejudice against it has almost eutire- lv disappeared. Arrangements are making to increase its saw by a com­ pany, which is to opety twelve new stores. It is solid sidjr by side with England meat indiscriminately, One firm, however, sells It Exclusively, and keeps the American flag flying over the shop as a sign. This market is also ?well supplied with American canned food^meat. lobsters, salmon, oysters, turtle, and fruits, as well as cheese, bacon, lard, flour, corn-meal, etc:-- Corn-ineal is not yet sufficiently well knowu as human food." oi HkjAA MONTHLY MADE.

Address, inclosing 3 ct. stamp, Boa Yandolf Jt Co* *0 Ana St., New-fork. The old\house oii Rock. Island where Davenport was murdered some twelve or fifteen years ago, stands un­ changed. It is now an old dilapida­ ted, tumble-down concern, utterly devoid of paint, and is just the kind of a place where ghosts are found. It is kept sort of sacred to-th# memory of tiie murdered man by the government officiate, and no improvements are al­ lowed to be made about the house, while every other building on the Island is kept up in true government style. An old physician in the city of Bock Island said that when the murder- ertrs o^^D«yeuport were hung at that place, he got possession of one of-the- bodies, preserved it in a. barrel of whisky, and shipped it by way" of boat to St. Louis, to be used ii» the desert­ ing room by the students of ». medi­ cal college. When is had gone about half way, some of the deck hands, slip- posing it was "straight," slyly bqred a hole in the barrel jind all got drank on that "crooked" stuff, never dreaming that there was a pickled man' in the barrel, although they thought it tasted rnther queer. It don*t -seem hanlly probable, but it is a solemn fact.--' DaM# SercU^ . The Examiner and ^Chronicle gives utterance to the following: "The complaint is often made that boys who go to the academy and to college are unfitted for ordinary work; .that they turn their backs^on the farm and even the store as beneath them, and insist on .becoming lawyers oi doctors. Of­ ten the fact is as stated,'but the blame is to be laid not to the educatiou, but to a corrupt popular opinion. The idea prevails that higher education/ would be useless to a farmer or a u^er- chant. But this is only saying tliat an educated man who becomcs a farmer or a merchant will lose the value of his education--that lp~throws is away, ynless he enters a ^row-ssion. This whole idea is wrongr^^^re^it is worth while for a man to cultivate his mus­ cles though lie does not intend to be a blacksmith or a policem^ti, but only a lawyer or a preacher--so he ought to cultivate his mind though he does not intend to be a doctor or a lawyer, but rather a farmer or a merchant. A mau ought to have strong muscles, though he expects to get his bread aud butter by the practice of law or of medioine or in some other way which does not require groat muscular power. So he should cultiva^tiis mind, and he will get the full lvalue out of his education, though he is to make his living by farming or some other business not in itself requiring the highest intellect­ ual power." This is sensible talk and we are glad to see our respectable, in fluential papers give utterance to it.- W(! need .utterances of this kind from prominent papers and men to neutral- o r>ni:«t !i tit. «>ry of certain class of ^papers and men, who are continually running down our system of higher in­ struction. as useless, except to those who are going to make their living in some profession, and are demanding that our schools consist mostly ol work­ shops. % It is this same kind of journals, whose editors Itaye probably been educated by some such plan as the one they pro­ pose, that are so easily persuaded by the sophistries of the soft money men. A little more discipline of the mind« such as is given by college studies, would enable their editors, if they pos­ sessed a sufficient amount of brains to start with, to see the weakness of the position held by our soft money faua- tics. and enable them to discern be­ tween declarations supported by .facts and mere fancies.--Aurora Netp««, Distribution of Mwili on Rtllrdwli. . Formerly, by far the largest portiou of mails in transit iiait 1ST,lie over front 12 to 24 hours at some distributing Post Office, and not uufrequeuly sev­ eral such delays were unavoidable in the transmission of the same mall.-- Under the present system every lettfr and paper is kept in motion from tiie moment it is deposited in the Post Office nntil It reaches its delivery, which abridges the time of transmis­ sion to the least practical limits. To givie each little town along the great routes the full benefit of this system mail-catchers liad to be introduced at stations where stoppages are not mftde but as this term explains itself, ^fhe reader may be left to infer the func­ tion from the necessity under whicii it was instituted. As an illustration of the re volution ;lfiat has been wrought In.the manner of handling rtiid dis­ tributing mails by the introduction of the railway service throughout the country, the present method }of separ- ting by States may be instanced.-- Five or six years ago the great* dis- ributiug Post Offices were accustom" ed to make separations of mail for the most distant States. Thlswas ef­ fected by sending the mail for cer­ tain counties to one central point for re-distributiou, and f^r other counties toother points. For tne State of 111., for instance, the mail-matter fo£ cer­ tain counties went to "Cleveland ? that for others, to Toledo; of others to Indianapolis, aud so ou, involving in all cases a delay of from 12 to 24 hours at each of these points. Further­ more, the lists tlwmselvefe were very imperfect, partly from the difficulty of keeping them corrected for such a large area, and from such distant points according to the constant variation of stage routes, but more particularly bo- eausc a single county separation in tiiese days of railways was years be­ hind the age, and a route that was feasible for one section of the county was productive of delay and iucouvent- encc iu another section. The remedy applied to this defect was that of separation by States, and the sending of mails for all distant States massed to the most distant railway Post Office capable of taking care of. the whole State to advantage. In this mauner the separation in a large Post Office like that of New York or Philadelphia, instead of covering the whole United States, is reduced to less than 10 States, ,a:ul iu tl»e case of printed matter, about 50 per ceutum of the whole passes forward made up separately by States, just as It is received, to be worked uo bv uostal clerks eu route: * • ' W M 1 '--*B .

The train which arrives at Bainbridge at noon remains twenty minutes for din­ ner. To-day the engine was left standing op the track, as usual while the engineer and fireman went to a house about 106 yards distant to get their meal. They had been gone but a little while when a man named A. Pepper pulled the pin connecting ifeft engine with the train, climbed Into the cab,and pulled the throttle wide open. The engine shot down the track like an arrow until it reached a ctirve about a mile distant, when It jumped the track, rolled over oa its side, and be­ came a complete wreck. Pepper was Instantly killed. Y\ hat his motive was for so strange a deed is a mystery.--; He had at one time been a well-to-do- far nn*r. but bait squandered his n,ieans by dissipation.
