Aad the tempest that is now tossing,our ship of State, is a fiercer trial af its strength then when we were convulsed with civil war. T?Jien section was arrayed against sec­ tion, and geographical liuefc defined their borders. But now a' Controversy, we do not say a conflict, is impending, .that divides into hostile camps every State in the Union; sunders neighbor­ hoods and families, aud makes every community a field of angry arid often violent fend. The tone of the partisan press is in the higeest degree unfortunate. It is true that we often read words of mod­ eration and patriotism, abjuring vio­ lence and fraud, and advocating peace • and calmness and magnanimity. But such words are always offcet by avowals of stern determination to insist upon the "law" olr the "right" words well enough in their place, but used in a sense that implies strong purpose to contend for party to the bitter end. And now are disclosed tbe imperfeo- tious, perhaps the necessary imperfec­ tions, of our electorial system. When the country is swept by a great over­ whelming tide of popular majorities, and the issue is not decided by the votes of one, two or three States, the irregularities attendant on universal suffrage are not scrutinized aud it is obvious that the popular will has not been defeated by here and there* a fraud. But when, as in the last elec­ tion, the grand issue turns upou the fairness of the vote in a few districts in the remotest parts of the country, where boxes may be filled t^ith votes in the presence of the violent and ig­ norant partisans of one side or the oth­ er, and partisan canvassers couut the votes aud certify to the returns, it is evident that the result may be so tainted with saspicion that the de­ feated party will not be coutent to abide by the .decision. In such an evf nt what security for public peace remains t The patience and patriotism of the people are indeed great, and their good senjse is not to be called in ques­ tion. To these we add the power of religious principle, the conscientious convictions of duty to shstain the law and on these we rest with confidence that a way out of such complications will be found. But reason aud religion fail to restrain the multitude when passion is roused, and ambition or greed of office or gain fire the heart. These elements are now it work mightily, aud well will it be for us as a people if sober judgment swayg the hour. Let us be patient. It is the hour for calmness, and quiet, and trust, with sharp watching. Bad men must not be permitted to cheat th.e country. Good men mint come to the front. Now we see the folly and shame qi leaving politics so largely in the hands of mere politicians. Perhaps it is too late to remedy the mischief. But the wcrk must be done, and the country saved from civil convulsions, auaiehy and ruin. Wiso and good men are now in demand. AN AMERICAN CHARACTERISTIC Americans have done wonderful things In the way of establishing and preserv­ ing their government and developing their country. They have exhibited an energy and a fertility of invention which have scarcely been equaled else­ where in the history of the world These have largely resulted from a restless aud aspiring ambition, fed by vast spaces of territory and the grand­ est of mountain, lake and riverscenery. Americans have a, right to be proud of their country, their government and their achievements. But they subject themselves to the ridicule of foreign­ ers by boasting too much. This habit is illustrated by the story of the Yan­ kee in London, whose attention being called to some fine apples, said he "reckoned" they were huckleberries, and by the story s of another Yankee, who, when asked by a foreigner if he saw the Alps, said he believed he did notice a little "risin' ground" as he came through Switzerland. The typi­ cal Yankee has a keen appreciation of his work and his surroundings and an intense self-consciousness. Therefore lie constantly exalts himself as he moves hurriedly through the world, and has a sort of contempt for those who do not thiuk pretty nearly as he does. This is better than the stolid English con­ ceit, which is the original germ from whence it sprung, but it is not to be cultivated or encouraged -- a thing which is now being done to a consider­ able extent by some of the newspapers, in remarks concerning the Centennial exposition. We notice, for instance, tha» one of the illustrated papers has a picture of Brother Jonathan strutting and bragging because he has beaten Kill the other world expositions in receipts, and in the background England.France and Austria glumly conferring togeth­ er. We Americans should endeavor to get rid of that particular strut which means that other nations are of not much account as compared with ours. ^ pawbr is ON nm wua Whore Advertising Contracts oaa b© m®<! John Morrisey, Johnson and oth­ er men who have pool rooms in New York City, have made the following announcement iu respect to the pay­ ment of bets: "We do not intend to pay any bets until the electoral college shall decide who is elected. If the decision should be that Mr. Ilayes is elected we shall go to Mr. Tildeu and ask him to fill out a paper saying that the end has been reached and that Mr. Hayes is thePres4- ident. If he signs his name to such a document, then we will pay the bets. If it is declared that Mr. Tilden is elected, we shall expect a like docu ment from Mr. Hayes. We do not in­ tend to put ourselves in a position where we may be annoyed any more about the money. It certainly has been a great anuoyance. ROTCarl Schurz proposes to the President of the U. S. Senate that an amendment to the constitution be promptly passed and ratified by a majority of the Legislatures, which will be in session this winter, transferr­ ing the power of counting' the Elector­ al vote from the joint session of ttjn-ess to the U. S. Supreme Court thus lUuioving this important matter fromot tribunal affected by party strife to one that is absolutely free from partisanship. A good idea. J&r"The price of horses is low, and they are dull of sale; but the dealers make it up. by lively trading among themselves, Yet we hear of no one who* has equalled the Vermont yankee, who went to vote on the 7th, traded horses nine times during the day, and at night had the sa'me horse he started with in the morning, and $45 in money, a watch worth §25, a double baireled shot gun, and four bushels of potatoes. A Forgetful Man. Ilis wife sent him up town for sumthin' or ruther" early in the eve­ ning. On the way he met afriend, and they spent a half hour in an animated dispute as to whether Hayes or Tilden hail tlie best chance, and when he left his friend, he had entirely forgotten what Maria had seut him after. It was in vain that he tried to think up his forgotten errand. For three long and weary hours he wandered around from saloon to saloon, seeking to stim­ ulate his unreliable brain and prick up his memory. 'Twasnouse. The more he stimulated the more lie didn't re member. He hated to go home and acknowledge as much to his wife, and so he just dropped in on his friends to gather their sympathy. After he had managed to scrape considerable of the article together, and just as the chimes of St. Xavier church were chiming the midnight hour, the telegraph editor opened a dispatch and remarked that the Associated press announced the dsath ef Dr. --, the famous physician of----- "By the jumping Juniper Jupiter. I remember now," said the visitoi1 riSing slowly from his chair and turning as pale as a cholera patient; remember now. My wife had the cramp colic, and told me to bring the doctor!'D--politics! I wonder if she's alive yet!" And he shot out of the door after the doctor without staying to hear what the chances were iu New York.--Cincinnati Enquirer. MOODY AND SANK BY. The series of meetings that have been conducted in the Great Taberna­ cle, Chicago, by Messrs. Moody and Saukej', will close on Sunday, Decern' ber 17.

Biblfc reading by Mr. Moody, singing by Mr. Sankey, at 'Farwell Hall, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thutsday aud Friday afternoons, at 3 o'clock. Persons from a distance need have no fear about getting into the meetings if they are at the Tabernacle in titne^ The doors are open one hour before' each service, and for the first thirty minutes persons have no difficulty in getting good seats. Many of the railroads have changed the time of their eveniug trains to accommodate persons attending the mee tings. Excursion parties can make special rates with the railroads, and some of the hotels offer special terms to those coming to attend the meet­ ings. €ounty 4th, ap- j^rThe Batavia New* has the following; "He was a tramp, and he was tramping through the town. It was Thursday, and it was Thanksgiving but he did not seem to be thankful for anytiling. He stopped on the bridge and pensively gazed into the smooth flowing water below, muttering to him­ self, and growling at his more fortunate brothers, whose larders were full, and who on that day were feasting on turk­ eys, oysters, and in fact, the fat of the land. He growled aloud, then in a solemn manner he tramped until he came behind Larry Quinu's shop, sat down on the soft side of a stone, dove his haud into a capacious coat pocket, and brought out a small package done up in brown paper, unfolded it and spread upou his lap a lucious meal of crackers and cheese. He commenced to eat at the same time, saying, "John, have a piece of this turkey." "Here, John, take a glass of this wine it is imported; brought it with me from France last summer." "Try these fried oj'sters, John." "Have a piece of mince pie, John; take a whole one, John, lots of them in the cellar." After each remark he would say, "yes, don't care if 1 do; thank you,'1 and munched in his crackers and cheese as conteuted as the king of the Cannibal islands. He rolled up what wan left, put it in his pocket, and 'started on his weary tramp toward Geneva, where we hope he arrived safely, and partook of another bountiful supper of turkey, oysters, etc." Annual Meeting of the McHenry Agricultural Hoard Met at the Court House, Dec. 1876.

GOT 'EM."--The proprietor f of a LaCrosse Wis., saloon had a fine live turtle, which he was going te have made into-soup for his guests. It was under the ice-box, waiting for his time to come. On Wednesday night Mr. Turtle meandered out iuto the 'bar­ room, and waddled along up to where two soakers were sitting by a table taking iu sustenance of a liquid nature. The turtle quietly passed under the table, and found an obstruction in the shape of a schooner, made of leather with a man's toot in the "hold." The turtle hadn't time to go aroatid the foot, HO he started to climb over St. * The man who owned the foot felt something and looked down. The turtle saw him and looked up with an appealing look. The man turned pale aud said, "Boys take me home aad send for a doctor. I've got 'em!" THE RABBIT THEY PUNCHED.--Three bold, bad boys of Burlington, played truant from school last Tuesday and stole a ride on a freight train to Sage town, where thev went hunting among the sand-hils. They chased a rabbit into a hole under a 'ock and took a stick to punch it out. They punched it once twice, thrice, and then when it came out to see if there was anything it could do for them, they wept when they remembered there wasn't an ounce of broino chloralum nearer than Bur­ lington. They started home, but the section men stoned them off the rail­ road track, and the station-master shot at them with a gun, and the telegraph operator tried to strike them with lightning. So they went off'into the woods and rolled around Jh the grass until it was dark, and then walked home naked. They are not naturalists, but they think they now what kind of a rabbit it was they punched.--Burling­ ton Hawkeye. Vest A letter from DeadwoodCitŷ ia the Black Hills says that the main business st reet of that place is In a fair way of being worked out by. the miners, who have struck it big at twq different points on the main thorongfare. The man who had*been running & cross-ditch came to the pay streak at the theater, which was eyidentaly built on ui old channel of £lie creek. Since then an* other party has tapped the channel a short distance below and near the center of the street. What led to the prospecting of the business portion of the town was the discovery of gold in paying quantities In a well that waa dug not long ago. Next summer will see most of the business house* *«f Deadwood set upon stilts. > > J®10Three young children of Mr. J. Martell, of Green Bay. Wis., are suffer­ ers of trichina. When it was learned that they had been eating raw pork, minute inspection with a miscrosope showed it to be full of the dreaded trichina. Elder members of the lamily who partook of the same perk cooked, escaped unharmed. Hg"Twp boys quarreled over the number of marbles owned jointly between them, and a returning board had tcr be called iu to settle the matter. The Board was in shape . of a shingle, and the old man counted while the eld woman set down returns, and before half the returns were in, the lads acknowledged it to be an honest count. JfoTAbout 250 books, the property of George "Washington, were sold at public auction in Philadelphia on tb* 20th ult. Most of the volumes Uiivu Lue nutograph. and some of them tbe coat- of-arms of the Father of his country. Mr. Sabin, of New York, and Gen. Joseph A. Hawley, of Hartford, were the principal purchasers. "The Feder­ alist," two volumes, 16mo., calf, print­ ed in 1788, with autograph and coat of arms, sold at $50 per volume, to Mr. Sabin. The sale was ordered by Mr. Lawrence Washington,a young gentle- mau lately come into the property. He is a great-grandson of Geu. Wash­ ington's brother, and a son of the bite John A. Washington. US™Not long ago, as an elderly couple were out walking, a lady on tfew opposite side of the street tripped and fell down. The old gentleman rushed across the street, raised his fcat, and ottered to assist her in any possible way. His wife followed him across at a slow pace, and< witnessing his de­ votion to the stranger, she got up and shook her fist at him. "It's all right- it's all right," he whispered. "Yes,* she liotiy exclaimed. "Here an un­ known woman stubs her toe, and you plow across the street to eat her up with kindness. The other day, when I fell down stairs, you stood and laughed and chuckled aud tickled your ribs, and Wanted to know if I was practicing for a circus."--New York Commercial. 5F*Au exchange says that the cham­ pion scholar has turned up.
