A well known business man of Ailanla
believes tbnt providence is with the
democtutio party this year, mid the basis
of his belief is Ids knowledge that tunny
people lire prsyinj: that iho country be
relieved IViiu the ruin anil disaster
wrought by th single guld standard.
And, really, il seems as if there is
more in the idea than a merely superficial
observer would be willing to acknowledge.
Paeud'i science and the shallow philoso
phy that leads tn skepticism have had a
great vogue ol hue years; but there
remains (a d it always will remain) in
ic hearts and minds of the commeo
euple a heart and whnli sonic belief in
prayer and in Ihe active ministrations of
providence.
Thus far, almost evety development iD
(lie campaign gives reason for the belief
that some superhuman power is at work
to lead the people out of the wilderness.
The Chicago convention was thooutootue
of perhaps the most extraordinary move
wont that has ever been known in the
history of our politics. It was the result
of a popular upheaval call it a human
tula! wave, or what you will that was
as irresistible in its forces as it was
unexpected in its development.
Four months ago the outlook seemed
to be particularly gloomy, so far as the
democratic paity was concerned. A
prediction of democratic success would
avc aroiiAed surphions ns to its author's
sanitv. 1 he party leaders were hope
the rank and file of the party were
in despair. In this state the belief was
general that when the party convention
met it would be controlled by the agents
of the money power, that it would declare
for gold, and that ihe party would go to
ecea.
so cir'ain were the (thcial cuckoos
that the convention would be controlled
by the east, that the purpose of the free
coinage democrats tn make the money
queslion the iue in selecting tlehgal
to iho state convention was denounced as
absurd and undemocratic. "Why adopt
free coinage declaration," shouted tli
organs, "when it is certain that the
national convention will ihchue for
gold?"
And yet what a tremendous change
has taken place since their doiiblelead
thunder shook the atmosphere 1 Hardly
three months have passed swav, and we
find the piincipul thunderer senteti
gloomily on lite picket fence, from whicli
it cannot safely descend without ripping
the shingles (so to speak) from tho roof
of its pantaloon!
ilatdly three months have passed, and
all the gloom, and doubt, and distrust
that affected the parly have been roll
away. The skies arc clear, the atmoB
phere has been purified, and the whole
country seems to bo uniting in the effort
to sustain the parly and to insure ill
elect ion of its candidates
The upheaval political revolution
that has taken place during the pasl
three months cannot plausibly be ac
counted fur on any other theory than that
the hand of Providence lias been stretched
forth as of old to lift ihe people out ol
the valley of desolaliou.
The Chicago convention, as we have
said, was the most extraordinary political
body that ever assembled in this country
Ihe freest, the most untramrneled, the
most thoroughly representative. It was
bound to no candidate and to no sent n
It embodied tho hopes and desires (f ill
e in a plallorm as urely democr. lii
as anv that was ever submitted to the
people. That was the main ll ii
laving accomulished lliat work, il
convention looked ub ut for a leadei
lo! aa if the hand of Providence had
him forth, ho appeared before them
Ho lifted his voice and spoke. To the
south he gave the word of peace, to il
west the word of hope, to the east
word of brotherhood and to all,
uoity of patriotism.
So it was, the people found their loader
UUeipecUdly ttud yul aa by instinct
Fresh from the ooinnion people, be came
to take up their burdens and to plead
their cause. He lifted his voice agaiust
no Bection, but against a faction against
a small but powerful combination
greedy speculators in the blood and awcat
of the poor. They call him an "agitator,
and yet he goes to the people with
message of peace and prosperity, law and
order. He holds out to all the strug
gling and toiling masses the hope
plenty and comfort as the reward
honest labor.
The convention found its leader, and
now not only the party, but all thepeopli
are flocking to bis standard. Wherever
he goes, this man of the common pcopl
the crowds ruth to greet him and bang
on his words, t or he is a man ot
people and the people follow him gladly.
More than that, he is a man ot prayer,
man of spotless lite, a man whose iutogri.

devotion to principle has mado him
conspicuous among men.
As providence has led the people

I'OUR RICHARD'S ALMANAC.
Contains Some of the llest Fun as Well
as the Wisest Counsel.
ELECTRICITY IN THE EARTH.
In' December of tho year 1732
Franklin commenced the publication of
what he styled "Poor Richard's Alma
nack" price, 5 pence. It attained an
astonishing popularity, and at once.
Three editions were sold within the
month of its appearance. Tho average
sale for twenty five years was 100,000 a
year. lie was sometimes obliged to put
it to press in October to get a supply of
copies to the remote colonies by the
beginning of the year. It has been
translated into nearly every written
anguage, and several translations of it
have been made into French and German
It contains soiuo of Iho best fun, as well
as the wisest counsel that ever emanated
from his pen. Hero aru some of the
ihorisms with which the almanac
abounds:
Fish and visitors smell in three days.
Diligence is tho mother of good luck
Wealth is not his that has it, but his
that enjoys it.
Let thy maidservant be faithful, strong
and homely.
He that can have patience can have
what he will.
Don't throw stones at your neighbor's
if your own windows are glass.
Good wives ami good plantations aru
made by good husbands.
Good heels; the dootor lakes the fee.
The noblest question in ihe world is,
what may I do in it?
There are three faithful I'rieuds
an old wife, an old dog, and ready
money.
Who has decided thee so oft as thy
self?
Fly pleasures, and they'll follow you.
Hast thou virtue, acquire also the
grace and beauties of virtue.
Ho that would have a short Lent, let
him borrow mouey to be paid at Easier.
Keep your eyes wide open before
tuartiage; half-shut afterward.
As we must account for every idle
word, an we must for every idle silence.
Search others for their virtues; thyself
lor thy vices.
Grace thou thy house, and let nut that
grace thee.
Let thy child's first lesson he obeli-
ence, and the second will be what llnui
wilt.
Let thy disc intents bo thy secrets.
Industry need not wish,
Happy that nation, fortunate that age,
whose histury is nut diverliug.
To b"!ir other people's ttffliciiions
every one has courage enough aud to
sparo.
Tricks aud treachery are th practice
of fools that have not wit eu nigh lo be
honest,
Sloth, like rust, oonsumes faster than
labor wears, while the used koy i always
bright.
The sleeping fox catches no poultry
There is no little enemy.
A new truth is a truth; an old error is
an error.
Three may keep a Bocret if two of
them are dead.
Deny self for self's sake.
Keep thy shop and thy shop will keep
tbee.
Here comes the orator with his flood
of words and bis drop of reason.
Sal. laughs at everything you say
Why? Becauae she has fine teeth.
An old young man will be a young
old man.
He is no down that drivos the plow
but ho that does clownish thiugs.
Forewarned, forearmed.
If yon would know the value of money,
go and try to borrow some.
Is it the Awful Force That Will Finally
Destroy the World?
"Take a spatli, turn up a small quan
tity of soil, bold a portion in your hand,
hold it to your car, then smell it. You
will observe first a slight motion, hear
a faint sound as of the moving of distant
timber, and readily notice the odor of
heat. Do you know that the forces held
in your hand are from electricity; that
the eaith for three feet deep is alive with
the invisible power and forms the secret
of vegetable life? Waves of electricity
aic constantly passing through the soil
in unseen billows; thus keeping I lie soil
from souring, as the billows of the ocean
keep the waters from becoming stagnant,
To demonstrate this fact, go lo some
rock bound pool, dip out a small quantity
of the polluted water, place it in a bottle,
cork and set aside in a warm place for a
short time. Then take the bottle into a
dark room, shake the bottle, draw out
the cork, and you will see liny forks of
blue lightning shoot nut from the bottle,
aud if you keep perfectly quiet you will
hear faint muiterings liko thunder.
This uomes from the flint like rocks
preventing the unbroken flow of eleclric
ity through tho soil and from the air
becoming charged and emptying itself in
to the water.
"Klectrieity, as is being gradually
shown, is fire the fire of friction, if you
will, the first known hy the inhabitants
of our globe. Look at an arc lamp and
see its combined sparks as they emit
from the carbons so swiftly that they are
taken for a regular flame of eye- bedaz
zling light. Io the ages to come the
charge of electricity will keep on accumu
laling uulil some commotion of the earth
will cause it to ignite, when, in the
twiukling of an eye, our world, with all
it contains, will be enwrapped and
consumed by a coDhagration that will
startle if not frighten the inhabitants of
other planets aB they look down upon
the flaming mass and see burn up one -of
ihe greatest work of the Almighty's
creation." Philadelphia Times.

BILL ARP ON BRYAN.
Two or three years ago, one Sunday
afternoon, a gentleman was walking with
his wife, who was an invalid, in the great
park which stretches for sixteen miles
along the shores of the beautiful liver
just outside Philadelphia.
They were comfortable, middle aged
people, and past the period of romance
But they were childless, aod as is of'en
the case their hearts were tender with
keen sympathies, and they gave to the
poor and hurt of God's creatures the '.ove
which they had never been peruiitted to
spend on a child of their own.
s they passed through tho thick
woods and cool grassy slopes hy the river
Mr. S carelessly spoke of the thou
sands of poor people shut up in the stif
ling cellars aud alleys, and wondered why
ihey did not come out, as the Saviour
did, to "walk in the IW.ls on the Sab
bath day." His wil'o did not answer,
but seemed lost iu thought. Presently j
she said
'Musio would bring thoml sacred
music It there could be an orchestra
here every Sunday afternoon, a good or
chestra, that would play the old familiar
hymn tunes, which carry every body's
soul up to God, how much good it might
do!"
Her husband looked at her, and saw
that her eyes wero full of tears,
'It shall be done, wife!" he said.
'I hope it will be done soon," she said.
"I should like to hear it once, before I
tf-"
The next morning Mr. S headed
a subscription for the amount required.
The best orchestra iu the city was en
gaged, and on the next clear Sunday
afternoon was stationed iu one of the
most beautiful gludes of the park.
Au hour bcfnru the time appointed
crowds began to pour out from the city;
men and women; old, hunt creatures on
crutches; children, and babies in their
mother's arms; the poor uud ragged, many
of them bloated from drink; the very
guests whom the Lord bade us find in
the highways aud byways and compel to
come in In his feast.
There wero many thousands, more
than uny church would have held, and
of a class who, (conducted as many of
our churches are now), will lint enter
ill ir doors.
At first there was confusion, hut when
the first uules of the solemn musio were
beard, the vast audience sat down on the
grass and listened in reverent silence.
I ho dusky aisles nl trees, the quint,
bright river, the blue sky overhead, and
the strains which brought some old sacred
memory to almost every heart, stilled and
awed them
"Old Hundred," was played, "Jesus,
Saviour of my Soul," and then "Nearer
my God lo Thee."
woman, an old feeble black woman
begau to sing the words, in a trembling
voice. Another and another joined, and
then with one impulse, the whole mighty
audienca sang together. The sound rose
liko rolling tliuuder towards heaven
There were tears on many a hard I'aoe
that day.
The woman who had planned the
work was not there. She had been laid
in her grave the day before. Hut is it
too much to hope that she was permitted
to hear that hymn? Our Dumb Animals

Ase is Not a Drawback Coll is So Scarce
That He Fears His Golden Welling will

Never iu our recollection lias National
politics been iu such a tangle as it is now,
Never such bitterness and irreconcilable
uitterences in Ihe press concerning a
platform and a candidate. Some of
their utterances are shameful, intolerant,
disgusting. They speak of the Chicago
platform as born of anarchy aud repudia
tion and use all the odious adjectives
they can find in the dictionary. The
New York World is especially bitter
against bolh platform and candidate and
because it cannot find a hletnish in Mr.
Bryan's life or record tries to belittle
him as ihe boy orator. When Jul
three aged friends charged him with
self conceit and rebellion against his
Maker a young man listened and al last
ventured to speak, lie apologized for
his youth but added, "Great men are
not always wise nor does old age always
understand judgment." The Lord was
wroth ogninst Job's three aged friends,
but had no wotd ol condemnation for
Klihu.
I don't know how old these belligerent
editors are who denounce Mr. Bryan for
his youth, but they seem to have forgot
ten that Jefferson was only thirty-three
years old when he wrote the declaration
of independence, Madison was only forly
when he and Hamilton wrote and pub
lished the Federalist, which is still said
to be the greatest treatise on political sci
ence that has ever appeared in the world.
John Marshall was only thirty-nine
when appointed attorney general by
Washington, Patrick Henry was but
twenty nine when ho first mado the
speech that made him famous, and was
thiity-ninc when George Mason said of
biui, "Ho is by far the most powerful
speaker I ever heard. Your passions
are no longer your own when he addresses
them. He is the first man on this con
tinent, as well io abilities as publio vir
tues " James Monroe was sent to Con
gress when hu was but twenty eight
years old, and when he was but twenty
three Lancroft says he was the moat con
spicuoua representative upon the floor of
the bouse. Henry Clay was aent to the
United States Senate when bo was Iwen
ty nine. John Randolph was leader ol
Ilia house in 1SIIII when ho was only
twenty eight years old.
One thing is corlain. Mr. Hryan is
old enough to capture and lead the old
and I lie young who arc so fortunate i
hear him; and Alfred Lewis, of the New
York Journal, who has heard all his
specahes, a.iys lie has never has never
made a failure or a mistake; that he
a student of all history and burns the
midnight oil. Every newspaper corres
pondent at Chicago accords to him ex
traordinary abilities and have dared to
say so even to the disgust of the old stags
who stayed home.
As to the platform I oannot see any
thing in it that should arouse any such
denunciation. One platform is for gold
and the other is for silver and gold,
Great and good men differ honestly about
that and they have a right to differ.
There are bigger things than the cur
rency and the country has survived them
I haven't seen ten dollars in gold in five
years and have sutvived that. It surely
has ceased to be the common currenoy of
the country. In two years more my wife
and I are to have a golden wedding,
we live, and I'm afraid that won't be
enough gold in tbe country to make the
event respectable. The bankers keep
all locked up aod out of sight, except
when tltey have to ship it to Kngland to
pay our gold coupons.
But we do want something done to
revive our industries and put the wheels
in motion and increase the values of our
land and our products We want our
mys to have something todo at houie
and not have to go away in search of em
ployment. Wo have six boys and they
arc scattered from New Yoikto Mexico.
There is another lamentable consequence
to tho present distress. The marriage
of young men and maidens have almost
ceased to be. A young man who is
working for t'M or $40 a month can't
afford to get married. Parents will strain
themselves to give their boys a collegiate
education and when they get their di
plomas there is nothing for them to do.
I'he girls who graduate come home re
fined and cultured and would marry if
they could select a male, but they can't
nil so they just live along in a stale of
innocuous desuetude There tiro ut least
twenty five of either sex in this town
who ought In mate and many, but llley
will not. Wheu I was a young man
there was no trouble about marrying.
Kveryhody got married. I Coiild have
married three or four gills and my wife
had choice ol half a dozen clever young
men. There was something for everbody
to do.
Now we don't expect Mr. Bryan to
reform all tbe evils that have befallen
the country, but we do expect him to
veto all the extravagance of Congress.
We want Mr. Bryan there to watch
them and curb them like Andrew Jack
son did. That he will be triumphantly
elected we have no doubt. It is in the
Wo feel it and breathe it. My
great regret is that I was not in Chicago
to hear bim and feel good all over aod
have a little hysteria myself and feel the
turkey bumps rise on uiy spinal column
and shed a few tears of delightful emo
tion as I drank in the thrilling eloquence
of the boy orator as they call him. I
wouldn't exchange liiin toduv for all the
old political hacks in the nation. I read
all that Barrett aud Adamson wrote to
my family aud all the extracts from the
press, and it did us nil good to realize
that a good and great man had suddenly

its distress aud its corruption. Hurrah

There are two "dark days" mentioned
in the annals of New Kngland. Tbe first
occured on Oct. -1, 1716, when it
suddenly became so dark soon after uoon
that the people wero forced to use artifi
cial lights to do their orditwry work
This strange condition of tho atmosphere
lasted about 3 hours. Again, on May
19, 1780, there was a remarkable darken
ing of the atmosphere, but tbe pbenouie
non did not come on so suddenly as that
upon the earlier date. The darkness in
this latter instance began between 10 and
11 o'clock on the morning of the day
named and lasted throughout the day,
The darkness extended from the north
eastern part of New Knglund westward
aa far as Albany and south to l'ennsyl
vania. The most intense and prolonged
darkness, however, was confined
Massachusetts, more especially to the
seaboard It is said to have come from
the southwest, but there is no mention
of it made in the history of Ohio or
Virginia. The exaot'eauae still remains
ono ol tho unexplained mysteries.
