PI NOTES.
This is the last time that either
tha Democratic or Republican party
will have to elect a President
Gen. Grant, not the Republican
party, has elected Garfield and de¬
feated Hancock. Gen. Grant
smashed both parties in doing
and the party from now on to 1884
will be the Grant party. Whether
the South will unite with this party
or not is yet to be seen ; but there
is one thing certain, tho Democrats
South will never rely on the Dem¬
ocrats 'North again, unless they
show they have a majority of the
Northern States to support them
in all good faith. Gen. Grant so
long as he lives will stand in the
way of the success of any party that
opposes him. The Northern peo¬
ple, be their predilections what they
•may, will stand by Grant “first,
and all the time.” When he
the country listens and tho
North hangs on hi# lips. He
tled in New York on purpose to
■carry that great State and he has
done it. He was placed at the head
■of a military organization on pur¬
pose to intimidate those who would
not follow, and settle tho question
that“Hancock would take the
tho reverse way. We predicted
year, when discussing the
on the lino of propriety and
in tbe Presidential canvas,
Grant would be hardest of all men
to overcome. Wo ha%*o our
in tho Union by grace, and Grant
intends that such a fact shall not be
ignored North or South. IIis re¬
cent speeches indicate that policy.
He now proposes to establish a
great national party and nothing
but his death can prevent its popu¬
lar tido from sweeping tho country.
If our people will be contented to
stand still and let results work out
for them more grace in the Nor¬
thern heart, pity, of itself, will over
■cornc prejudice and hate, and si¬
lence the clamor of sectional par¬
tisans forever. Joe Brown is to bo
tho great leader of tho South. He
comes in at a most opportune time.
«Mr. Stephens’ day is fur spent
and he is about to receive tho im¬
mortal crown of the Christian states¬
man in eternity, and Joe Brown is
our great hope.—- ft amnion Clipper.
Mrs. Fillmore, the widow of
kte ex-President, is dangerously
ill with paralysis at her home in
Buffalo. She was attacked a week
ago; and one side rendered power¬
less and speech nearly destroyed.
She is scarcely expected to recover.
An aged miser was found mur¬
dered in his house, at Niles Mich.,
and $500 of his hoard was
sing. For months tho mystery
the crime was not penetrated.
length a quiet, respected
year-old boy of the neighborhood
began to s|wnd money freely.
Being accused of the murder, he
•confessed his guilt.
The Po*t-Appeal reports that by
the use of tho new electric lights
now being used by the Atlanta cot¬
ton factory, it has been discovered
that an average of moro than
yards of goods per light lias been
the increase of the production over
the amount heretofore made by the
ordinary gas light.
Two and a half millions of tropi¬
cal oranges were received in the
past six months at San Francisco
■from the French islands of Tahiti.
They have come in about equal
numbers every month from March
to September, showing that the
tree# are in perpetual bcariug.
One thousand and fifty laths will
cover seventy yards of surface, and
eleven psuuis of nails will put them
ou.
Eight bushels of good lime, fifteen
bushels sand, and one bushels hair
makes enough good mortar to
plaster one hundred square yards.
A cord of stone, three bushels of
lime and a cubic foot of sand will
lay one hundred cubic feet of wall.
One thousand shiuglew laid four
inches to the weather will cover one
hundred square feet of surface, aud
five pounds of nails will fasten
Ahem on.
Five courses of brick will lay one
foot in height on a chimney; six
brick in a course will make a flue
four inches wide and twelve inches
long; eight brick# in a course will
make a flue eight inches wide and
sixteen inches long.
Thu Russian Terror.
The reign of terror established
does not seem to reassure
authorities. In spite of over¬
prisons, of wholesale de¬
to Siberia, and daily
and executions In nearly
every town of the empire, they
find themselves overmatched by
the revolutionists. An order just
issued by the Governor-General of
St. Petersburg shows, -this, and at
the same time bears official testi¬
mony to tbe universality of the dis¬
affection, "Whereas, it is neces¬
sary to place the cab drivers of the
capital under surveillance to pre¬
vent suspected persons from escap¬
ing the pursuit of justice by their
aid,” runs this document, "I decree
as follows.’’ And then the order
goes on to direct that every driver
of a public vehicle shall also have
the number painted in red upon
tbe lamps. Vehicles which do ply
for hire in the streets, but are hired
at livery, may lie excused from dis¬
playing a number and badge, at
tbe discretion of the-polico authori¬
ties. But all drivers of vehicles are
compelled to stop, by day or night,
whether carrying a fare or not>
when called upon to do so by tbe
police. The penalty for tbe infrac¬
tion of any part of the order is fine
or imprisonment. In more orderly
and civilized countries carriages
plying for hire nro subjected to
police control for tbe protection of
those using thorn. In Russia the
control is established as precaution
against revolution'— Pull Mull Ga¬

Business Maxims.
1. Buy cautiously and just what
you want, and do not ho persuaded
to purchase what you do not need ;
if you do, you will soon want what
you can’t buy.
2. Insure your stock; insure
your store; insure your dwelling,
if you have one. If tho rate is
high it is only !•< cause tho risk is
great, and of course you should not
take the risk yourself. A business
that will not pay for) insuring will
not justify running.
3. Sell to good, responsible
parties only. Fell on a specified
time and when your money is duo
demand it , do not let the account
stand without note or interest for
an indefinite period.
4. Fell at a reasonable profit and
never misrepresent to effect a snle.
5. Live within your income.
keep your business to yourself;
have patience and yo*i will succeed.
6. Competition is the life of
trade, but in trying to run your
competitor out ot business bo eare
ful you do not run yourself out.
7. Advcrtiso T your business in
your home paper. It pays to pat¬
ronize the printer.
