AVery Sudden Change All
Around.
New York Herald. , , _ ,
The Albany Evening Journal of Fri
day sends out a hasty note of warning
to the Republicans of New York. It
Ba y, : _“Xhe Republicans of the State
should not count on the Democratic
quarrel. Our true polioy is to act ou
the assumption that our opponents will
do the strongest thing they can do, and
meet it with the strongest thing we can
do." -
It tells its friends that the Democrats
are preparing to drop Governor Robin
son—“A month ago his renomination
looked inevitable. to day it appears im
probable—and this, too, without any
reference to the outcome at Niagara.
Governor Robinson's opponents are
confident that he cannot succeed. His
own friends and partisans are kiAdis-
guisedly casting about in other direc
tions. They see the handwri.ing and
are looking for a way of escape.”
The Democratic papers are more cau
tious, as iB but natural; but they nil sud
denly promise harmony and declare
that the State must be carried and the
candidate must be capable of carrying
it. The Staats-Zeitung, of this oity,
says:—"The Convention meets at Syra
cuse. The Kelly men preferred Roch
ester, the Tilden men Saratoga. It is
probable that matters will go in the same
way in the Convention; they will hunt
out compromise candidates. But this
will nevertheless always remain Mr.
Kelly’s victory, and the people will so
construe it.”
The Evening Express is of opinion
that Judge Church could carry the
State better than anybody else, and Mr.
Kelly probably sees that he is going to
have something to say about who shall
be nominated.
The Oswego Palladium, speaking aB
if inspired, announces “rumors of com
promise," aud smooths the way to the
dropping of Governor Robinson, It
says:
The air is full of rumors of compro
mise among the faction leaders of the
Democracy. Tho wise oneB will have it
that the Tilden and anti-Tilden clans
are fixing things for the presentation of
a solid front to the enemy, and that to
this end a ticket made up of unexcep
tionable men from both sides will be
nominated at the coming State Conven-
hon; R i a alleged that Mr. Tilden
nimself ia in favor of a treaty, and that
no will consent, in the interest of har-

g for a Year aud a
A Moral Epidemic R
Hal
New York Time,.
In a view of the moral epidemic
whioh has been raging for a year and a
half at Fall River, would it not be pru
dent for other towns of Massachusetts to
establish a quarantine against that un
fortunate city ? Unless they do, there is
really danger lest the whole State be
come infeoted. When Chance and
Hathaway were discovered last spring
year Ago, to have been wholesale plun
derers of .the companies they were con
nected with, their coses of dishonesty
were believed to be sporadic; but since
then, especially sinoe George B. Durfee
and Walter Pain have been appropriat
ing funds of the mills ia their official
capacity, there seems to be no doubt
that the stealing diseases has grown
epidemic. It is thought that a number
of prominent Fall Riverians are suffer
ing from the pestilence, although it has
not outwardly deolared itself. Treasurers
appear to be particularly subject to the
contagion. Some of those attacked have
been carried off, even as far as the State
prison, and many a morally sound
citizen expresses regret that more of
them have not been. Two years ago
Fall River published a show volume
describing the interest of that oity. A
number of the men extolled there
have since turned out consummate
lascals, and some of the mills moBt hon
orably mentioned have beeu disclosed
as incorporated pretexts for robbery.
It would be disorcot, under the circum
stances, to recall the book for liberal re
vision, since it, just at present, isa priet-
edsarcasm on the town; When a new
edition a^ll have been issued, it will
not be inapt to refer to swindling and
stealing as one of its most active and
well sustained industries. It really
Beems as though Fqll River would never
reach an end of its scoundrels. It is not
strange that most of the mills have
passed dividends for the last two or
three years. If they had declared divi
dends, there would have been lesB
money for the Treasurers to steal, and
without stealing Treasurers the town
would lose it identity. Fall River has
keen called a very absurd name for a
town, but they who so christened it were
wiser than they knew. It is eminently
proper as there have been more falls of
prominent members of the community
there than in any city of the Union.
Farming on a Large Scale,
Lenoaater Farmer.
The largest cultivated wheat farm on
the globe is said to be the Grondin farm,
not far from the town of Fargo, Dakota.
It embraces some 40,000 acres, both
Government and railway land, and lies
close to the Red river. Divided into
four parts, it has dwellings, granaries,
maohiqe-shope, elevators, Btables for
200 horses, and room for storing 1,000,-
000 bushels of grain. Besides the
wheat farm there is a stock-farm of 20,-
000 acres. In seeding-time seventy to
eighty men are employed, and during
harvest 250 to 300 men. Seeding be
ns about April 9, and continues
rough the month, and is done very
systematically, the machines following
one another around the field, some four
rods apart. Cutting begins about Au-
gust 4, and ends the forepart of Septem-
3or, succeeded by the threshing, with
eight steam threshers. After threshing,
the stubble-ground is plowed with great
blows drawn by three horses and cut
ting two furrows; and this goes on un
til the weather is cold enough to freeze,
usually about November 1, There are
many other large farms in the Territory
and in the neighborhood, and they are
tilled in much the same manner as the
GrondiD, The surface of the land gen
erally is almost level ’and the soil rich
and black. The product of ono field of
2,315 acres is 57,285 bushels—elevator
weight—some twenty-five bushels to tho
acre. The average yield of the Dakota
wheat farm is from twenty to twenty-
five bushels per acre, and the concur
rent testimony is that it is unequaled as
a wheat region in the world.
Manton Marble has married Mrs.
Lombard, a widow, forty and rich. Jen
ny June says; “The lady’s income iB
very large, but it dies with her, and Bhe
therefore secures the future ofher hus
band by driving with him, immediate
ly and secretly to the office of the Mut
ual Life Insurance Company, whore she
executed a polioy upon her own life, in
his favor, for $100,000. They then
started for Europe. This generosity on
the part of a rich woman offers a fine
contrast to the way in whioh rich men
often tie up their money so that the
wife, who has been their dependent
while they live, shall benefit as little
possible by their death.
Senator Thurman, being interviewed
by a New York Tribune reporter in
that city on Wednesday, expressed en
tire confidence in a-Democratic victory
in Ohio in October next. He says that
Gen. Ewing will poll the full strength
of the party, irrespective of the divis
ions in the party on financial questions.
He is confident it will be a square fight
on the part of the Democrats, without
any weakening dissensions in the party
The Story of the Doxologies.
• Dr. E. M. Hatfield sends a letter to
the New York Observer containing
somo information as to the doxologies
most commonly used. The Long Me
tre Doxology now sung every Sunday,
all over the English-speaking world, in
ten thousand churches and more:
“Pralio Olod from whom all blearing. fl jw,”
was written by Bishop Thomas Keer
of the Church of England, and pub
lished in 1697. The other popular Long
Metre Doxology whioh still retains itp,
place _ among the orthodox as a tribute
of praise to the Trinity:
“To God the Father, God tho Son,” etc.
was written by the Rev. Dr. Isaac Watts,
and was first published in 1707, ten
ears later. Watte wrote also and pub-
ished at the same date the Common
Metre Doxology, in common ues every
where—
Let God—the Father, end the Son,” ete.
The only other Common Metre Doxol
ogy that rivals it—
"To Father, Son and Hair Ghost,” ete.
was published in 1696, by Tate & Bra
was published in 109(3, by Tate & Bra-
dv, and was written by one of them,
probably Tate. The Short Metre Dox
ology most generally used in our church-
“Yo angels round the throne,” etc.
was written by Dr. Watts, and dates
from 1707. John Wesley, in 1739, gaye
to the churches an excellent Short Me
tre Doxology, much used by the Meth
odist Episcopal churches:
“To Qod—the Father, Sen
And Spirit—One in Three,
Bo glory, as It was, Is no*
And shall forever be.”
Charles Wesley, in 1739, wrote a use
ful Doxology:
Two members of the Canadian ad'
ministration are now in London Besk

$25 000,009 for the purpose of cousjuot-
ing the Northern Paciflo railroad.

Profitable Stock InveBtmenta.
Before Messrs. Lawrence & Co., the
New York bankers, inaugurated the
combination system of operating in
stocks, it was often very difficult for in
experienced operators, or even old
stagers, to deal profitably by their single
handed ventures. Now the field is open
to every one for successful operations,
and capital in any amounts, from $10
to $20,000, can be used with equal pro
portionate profit. Instead of distract-
ng efforts among many customers, the
orders of thousands are concentrated
into one vast pool and co-operated for
the benefit of all, dividing profits pro
rata every month. A prominent citi
zen of San Francisco made $1,264.36
from an investment of 8300 last month.
Other customers are doing better still.
$25 pays $125 during the month, $200
returns $1,200, or 6 per cent on the
stock, and so on as the market moves.
New oircnlar contains two unerring
rules for success, and full instructions
for any one to operate profitably. All
the advantages of unlimited capital and
careful manipulation are secured by
the combination method. Stocks and
bonds wanted. Government bonds sup-
Hied. Deposits received. Apply to

A short timo ago, says the London
correspondent of the Liverpool Mercu
ry, a dinner was given to some Ameri
cans by the London University men,
where the toast first proposed, was
as follows: "The United States, bound
ed on the north by Canada, on the south
by the Gulf of Mexioo, on the east by
the Atlantic, and on the weBt by the
Pacific.” This, however, did not satis
fy the more Republican members of the
university. They proposed: "The
United States bounded on the north by
the Nerth Pole, on the south by tho
Antarctic Ocean, on the east by the
Gulf Stream,' and on the west by the
illimitable ocean.” Even that did not
satisfy one member of the party.' His
toast was: "The United States, bounded
on the north by the aurora borealis, on
the south by infinite space, on the east
by the procession of the equinoxes, and
on'the west by the day of judgment.”
The toast was drunk with enthusiasm.
There has been a good deal of specu
lation as to the reason for the singular
conduct of certain English naval officers
in the far East in apparently seeking to
keep out of Gen. Grant’s way and thus
avoiding any salute to him. An order
issued by the British foreign offioe last
February has just got into print, whioh
was addressed to tho Governors of Brit
ish colonies, and, after notifying them
that Gen. Grant was about to make a
tour to India and beyond, informed
them that "uo salute or official honors
should be given in the event of
Gen. Grant’s visiting the colony under
your control, but that he should receive
all such courtesies os are proper in the
oase of a distinguished foreigner.” This
order would explain the failure of Eng
lish officers to give the ex-President a
salute, but the motive for thrir running
away from him, as oertain of them in
Japan seem to have done, still remains
a mystery.
The Washington Post says that the
New England cotton lords deny that it
is their habit to threaten employees
with disoharge in oaBo they fail to vote
for the Radical candidates. They say
they merely, intimato that a severance
of business relations will be a probab.e
result of suoh failure.
