'V HE EAGLE. Published Kftirf Friday Morning. HAVE YOU A JONATHAN.' “There is bat a step betwixt me and death.”—lst Samuel, 20th chapter and 3d verse. The sweet singer of Israel has un strung his harp and hanged it on the willow. He who but the other day could face the giant Philliatian, and with his sling and pebble bring him to the ground, is now filled with fear and trembling. He who but yesterday could with manly courage pounce upon the ferocious lion and wrest from his horrid grasp the tender lamb, now stands pensive and almost alone, forsaken by kindred and friends, save only the ever faithful -Jonathan. His mind is running back to former and better days. He is contemplating the happy hours of boyhood and youth, when he could roam the mountains unmolested, accompanied by his shep herd dog. While ever and anon the sweet songs of the birds that made the lonely forest their habitation, cheered him with their music. And while he was engaged in watching his father's Hocks, was no doubt often de lighted to witness the cheerfulness and gayety of the little innocent lambs as tbev skipped and played about their dams and slept beneath the shady grove that overshadowed them. David to-day remembered when he returned in triumph from the conflict, bearing in his hands the head of Goliah, his cqpquered foe, how sweetly the women sang his praises, saying Saul has slain his thousands, but David his ten thou sands. But ilas! those days of exultation and t mph are numbered with the past. ivid au exile and wanderer; danger tand thick around him on every si Saul seeks his life; sends troop ah troop to arrest him. The lonely desert lias become his home; the rock his pillow; the cold ground his bed; the blue canopy his covering. Id beasts prowl about him, and the Is vot, r^, e (JW ] j tj lt) otl iy iormou g rf ®t a his ear. O, his condition. No wou rg 1 iu his anguish, “There nounc'hd me tind death.” rv of the fcjtt the “City by the Sea.” ul,a < * own best. x J tei.wixt him ami "Friendly reader, death is near t.hee; he is coming; see the many aud terri ble strides be is making to reach thee. There is but a step betwixt you and death. ’Tia but a step till you shall personally meet it and feel all its palseying influence upon your fast throbbing heart. ’Tis but a step until the rose tint will be extracted from your cheeks. ’Tis but a step till your now active limbs will fall useless by your side, and your tongue be silent in the cold and lonely' grave. ’Tis but a step till all your earthly pleasures will be forever shut out from your view. ’Tis but a step out of time into eternity. Reader, are yon prepared to make that fearful step. ’Tis but a step until you will stand before the Mod of the Universe to give an account for the deeds done in the body. (), man, have you a Jonathan —a friend who stands by you like David’s friend did, and syeaks words of cheer and com fort to you as you hasten ou to that borne from whence no traveler returns. Christ > brother, I congratulate you. L know i have that friend—not an earthly natbau, but a Heavenly friend v that sticketh closer thau a brother ae who sends ministering angels to accompany yon in your lone ly travails, and fans your weary soul with the gales of grace from the good ly land. And although there is but a step betwyd you and the dark valley, Jesus your Heavenly friend Las passed that way and has lighted up the gloomy vales, and has promised you a ray of light that shall shiuo upou your path way, brighter and brighter, even unto the perfect day’. Cheer up brother, it )s but a step through life’s pilgrimage; but a step till you pass the gloomy valley of the shadow of death; but a step over the turbid waters of Jordon info the promise land; but a step till the goldeu gates of the new Jerusalem | will dy wide open to receive you; but a step till you shall sec the King in his beauty; but a step till you reach the happy land where the wicked cease to trouble and the weary are at rest; but a step till you shall see Jesus and be | made like him in glory. Bell Moos tain. ‘ MOHAIR ANB ITS MANUFACTURE, j The California Live Stock Journal' says: “The Angora goat business,: which a few years ago was sneered at by some journals that should have known better, has been brought for ward and placed upon a footing that insures for it a grand success and a splendid future. “There was a time when but little mohair was produced here, and there was but little demand for that small quantity. Now the manufacturers are making good bids; in fact, there is a wholesome rivalry, which places the product in demand at good figures, and as the supply increases the prices will become better and steadier. The sales of fleeces for the last two years have proved that, for the mohair alone, it will pay to raise goats. But the mut ton is as good, some say better, than that of the sheep, and the pelts are much more valuable for tanning. The common goat skin is little better than sheep skin, but the Angora skin is flue grained and very strong. “It is estimated that there are now 210,000 grade Angora goats on this coast, but probably 200,000 is nearer the mark, This number will soon in crease to 1,000,000, and as they in crease in numbers so do they increase in purity, as only pure bred bucks are used for breeding purposes. No less than one-fourth of the entire number will have to be slain annually, on au average.” THE SODA MINES OF WYOMING. The soda consumed in the United .States is now imported from England. During the year 1875 about 200,000 tons were used, costing about $12,000,- 000. There i; a prospect now, how ever, that the time will soon come when not only the consumption of this country can be supplied from the pro duction within its own borders, but thut enough can bo mined to supply the whole world. The deposits lafc r -iv* discovered, says the Omaha Heral?f) T and for which land patents ha^* 0 ! cently been issued, lie on the side of the Sweetwater river, in Carbon county, .Wyoming, about fifty-five miles north of the town of Itawlins, on the Union Pacific railroad. The soda is found in a crystalized state, solid as it cpr* ti '®*’> fbc tat oue ■), in total weigh 1 , A dry condition, a poor 3acher- oke some of our bog mead .h, very wet. When the fattening process begins, water commences to disappear, and fat or suet takes its place, and the increase in bulk during the process is largely of adipoise mat ter. It is a curious circumstance that during fattening, the proteids, or ni trogenous compounds, increase only about seven per cout,, and the bone material or inorganic substance ouly oue and a half per cent. The cost to a farmer of fattening an ox is much greater at the close of the process than at the commencement, that is, increase in bulk or dry weight at that period is much more costly. If it costs three cents a pound for bulk for the first month after a poor animal is put in the fattening stall, it will cost five cents the last month. If then a farmer consults his money interests, he will not carry the increase in fat be yond a certain point.—Journal of Chemistry. A Philadelphia experimenter has been emulating the example of Dio Lewis in. respect to economical living aud a vegetable diet, and communi cates to the public the result of his effort, to feed a family of three on a dollar a week. He tried corn meal and found it insipid. Buckwheat soon fol lowed, and potatoes also failed to sus tain bodily strength. The oatmeal was tried, and at the oxoiratiou of two weeks, says the experimenter, ‘I found myself four aud a quarter pounds heavier. My wife had gained three pounds, while the lad had gained over five pounds. Our food outlay for fourteen days was exactly $2 80, or less than seven cents per day for each persou. We are now pursuing the sauio course with an occasional mixed meal.’ Try the following recipe for making corn beer: Boil a pint of good sound corn until it becomes soft without bursting; add to it a quart of good rno lahses and one gallon of water. Put the corn, molasses and water in a jug, shake it well, and in 24 hours the beer will l>e excellent. When all the beer is used just add more molasses and water. ITie same corn will answer for several months, and after the first time the beer will be lit for use • u 12 hours, in warm weather. A guliou will not coat over It) cents, and a glass but a fraction over a half a cent. When Well made, it is better and more whole some than cider. PL AT FO It M OF THK NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY. We, the Delegates ot the Democratic Party of the United States in National Convention assembled, do hereby declare the administra tion of Federal Government to be in urgent need of immediate reform. We do hereby enjoin upou the nominees of this Convention and of the Democratic Party in each .State a zealous effort and co-operation to this and, and do hereby appeal io our fellow-citizens of every former political connection to undertake with ns this first and most pressing patriotic duty of the Democracy of the whole country. We do here affirm cur faith in the perma nency of the Federal Union, our devotion to the Constitution of the United States, with its amendments universally accepted as a final settlement of the controversies that engender ed civil war, and do hereby record our stead fast confidence in perpetuity of republican sell government; in absolute acquiescence to the will of the majority - the vilal principle of republics—in the supremacy ol the civil over the military authority; in the total separation of Church and State, for the sake alike of civil and religions freedom; in tlie equality of all citizens betore just laws of their own enact ment; in the liberty of individual conduct uu vexed by sumptuary laws in the faithful edu cation of the rising generation, that they may preserve, enjoy and transmit, these best con ditions of human happiness and hope. We behold the noblest products of HK) years of changeful history. Put, while upholding the bond of our union and great charter of these our rights, it behooves a free people to prac tice slso that eternal vigilance which is the price of liberty. Reform is necessary to re build and establish io the hearts of the whole people of the Union, eleven years ago pappily rescued from the danger of a secession of States, but now to bo saved from corrupt ceu tralism, which, after iullicliug upon ten Stales the rapacity of carpet bag tyrannies, has honey-combed the offices of the Federal Gov ernment itself with incapacity, waste and traud, iutected Slates uud municipalities with the contagion of misrule, and looked fast the prosperity of an industrious people in Ihe paratjs a of hard times. Reform is necessary to establish a sound currency, restore the public credit and main tain tile national honor. We denounce the failure for all these eleven years to make good the promise of the legal tender notes, which are a changing standard of value in the hands of the people, and the nonpayment of which is a disregard of the plighted faith of the nation. We denounce the improvidence which, in eleven years of peace, has taken from the peo ple in Federal taxes thirteen times the amount of the legal tender notes and squandered four times this sum in useless expense withe 4 ac cumulating any reserve for their redemp ion. We denounce the financial imbecility and immorality of that party, which, do,7kg elev en years of peace, lias made no advance to ward i-esumptiou: that instead, has obstructed resumption by waisting our resource* and ex hausting all our surplus income, and while r annually professing to intend a speedy return to specie payments has annually enacted / -sh hindrances thereto. As such a hindrance we denounce tile re supmtion clause of the act of 1875, and we hoar demand its repeal We demand a judi cious syste o of preparation by public econo mies, by official by wise finance, which shall enable the nation soon to assure the whole world of its perfect ability aud its perfect readiness to meet any of its promises at the call of the credit entitled to payment. We believe such a system well de vised aud above all entrusted to competent hands tor execution, creating at no time an art ill rial scarcity of currency, and at no time It lifts Je. . of view andiAll cbuimorcti from the first, to listit’— 1 101 li4 "k 011 tlie high sens. It has cut ,w’n the mile of American manufacturers at home and abroad, and depleted there urns of American agriculture, an industry followed by half our people, ft costs the people live times more than it products to the Treasury, obstructs Llie processes ot production, and wastes the fruits of labor. It promotes fraud and fosters smuggling, enriches dishonest offi cials and bankrupts hottest merchants. We demand that all Oustom.llnuse taxation shall be for revenue ouly. Reform is necessary in the scale of public expenses. Federal, State or Municipal. Our Federal taxation lias swollen from $60,000,- 000, gold, in 1860, to $140,000,000, currency, in 1870; or, in a decade, from less than $5 per head to more than $lB per head. Since the peace, the people have paid to their tax gatherers more than thrice the sum of the national debt, and more than twice that stint for the Federal Government alone. We demand a vigorous frugality in every department and from every officer of the Gov ernment. Reform is necessary to put a stop to the profligate waste of public lands and their de version from actual settlers, by the party in power,{which has squandered •.100,000, (too or acres upon railroads alone, aud out of more than thrice that aggregate has disposed of less than a sixth directly to the tillers of tlm soil. Reform is necessary to correct the omissions of the Republican Congress, aud the errors of our treaties, and our diplomacy, which have stripped our follow citizens of foreign birth and kindred lace reorossiug the Atlantic of the shield o( American citizenship, and have exposed our brethren of the I’act lie coast to the incursions of a race not sprung from the same groat parent stock, and in fact, now by law denied citizen ship through naturalization, us being neither accustomed to the traditions of a progressive civilization nor exercised in liberty under equal laws. We denounce the policy which thus discards the lib erty loving German, aud tolerates the revivai at the coolie trade in Mougaiitt i women imported tor im moral purposes, and Mongolian mou hired to perform st-rote labor contr cts, and demand such modifica tion of the treaty with the Chinese Empire, or such legislation by Congi-ess within a constitutional limita tion as shall prevent the further importation or im migration of the Mongoli u race. Reform in ucccssaiy aud can never Ire effected but by making it the controlling issue of the elections and lifting it above the t a-o false issues with which tire office-holding class ami the party in pmver seek to smother it —the falae issue with which they would sectional strife in respect to the public schools, of which the establishment and support be longs exslusively to the several States, aud which the Democratic party has cherished from their founda tion, aud reeolved to maintain without partiality or preference for any claas, sect or creed, and without contribution from the Treasury to any ot them; and the false issae by which tliev seek to light anew the dying embers of sectional hate between kindred p o pies once estranged but now reunited In one indivis ible Republic aud a common doctrine. Reform is necessary in the civil service. Experi- age * md. In vuial consists truce proves that eificient, economical conduct of the Governmental bnsmcßH in not possible if its civil ser vice be subject to change at over}' election, bo > prize fought for at the ballot box, be a brict reward of party zeal, instead of posts of honor ussigued for proved competency and held for fidelity in the public employ; that tlio dispenfciug of patronage should neither be a tax upou the time of all our public men nor the instrii ment of their ambition. Here, again, professions - falsified iu the performance—attest that the party in power can work out no practical or salutary reform. Reform is necessary eren more iu the higher grades of the public service. President, Vice President, Judges, Senators, Representatives, Cabinet officers, these and a’i others in authority are the people’s scrv ants Their offices are not a private perquisite, they are a public trust. When the annals of the Republic shew the disgrace aud censure of a View President a late Speaker of the tlouse of Representatives market ing Ins rulings as it piesiding officer; three Senators profiting secretly by their votes as law-makers; five chairmen of the leading committees of the late House of Representatives exposed iu jobbery; a late {Secre tary of the Treasury forcing balances in tlio public accounts; a late Attorney General misappropriating public funds; a Secretary of tlio Navy enriched or en riching friends by percentages levied oil - the profits of contractors with nis department; an ambassador to England censured in a dishonorable speculation; the President’s private Secretary barely escaping convic tion upon trial for guilty complicity in frauds hi*>u the revenue; a Secretary of War impeached for high crimes aud confessed misdemeanors, the demonstra tion is complete, that the first atop in reform must be the people’s choice of honest men from another party lest the disease on one political organization infest the body politic, aud lest by making no change of men or party we can get no change of me Bur aud no reform. Ail these abuses, wrongs and crirn s, the product of sixteen years’ ascondeucy of the Republic n party create a necessity for reform confessed by Republi cans themselves, but their rotor . ers are oted down in convention aud displaced from the G&binet. The party's mas* of honest voters are powerless to resist the 80,000 officeholders, its leaders and guides. Reform c*u only be had by a peace.ul civil revolu tion. We demand a change of system, a change of administration, a change of parties, that we may have a change of measures and of men. I'Z’ZQ. , v- 1876.
