The Independent Voter.
There have boon many Republican
voters in all parts oi'thc Union who
have grown impatient at various acts
of the ad in in ist rat ion and of the
recognized party leaders, have insisted
on the need of reform, rind have de
clared their intention of bolting or
taking other serious actum against or
out of the party if they do not get
reform in it. To these persons most,
tender appeals arc every day made
by the Democracy. The official calls
to attend Democratic primary meet
ings arc extended to "all opposed" to
the existing administrations, "in
dependent of past afliliatijus," and
great astonishment is sometimes ex
pressed that, "independent" \olers,
wlicthci' Republicans now or not, do
not come right out for "Tilden and
reform." The author of this article
has no authority to speak for any one
but himself, frill less to dictate to
any man or body of men; but having
often found a patient, hearing and
substantial agreement when complain
ing ol Republican shortcomings, he
feels that Ik; is likelv to know the
views of more than, one independent
voter, and therefore desire tu sc',
forth plainly the reasons Which make
it im possible for him to join the
Democratic army,? icasons coining
from his very independence.
f-'irst. The independent, voter finds
the discipline of the IJopublieari party
objectionable. Jle finds it at once,
too strict and too lax. Jle has been
called upon to swallow the measures
of the administration whole; to vote,
without flinching or scratching, every
regularly nominated ticket; and to
refuse; to support nothing which is
advanced by recognized party organs.
On the other hand, be finds great
reluvfince to have plat forms made
decisive nil new questions; he is told
lie must not take so strong a stand
mi si me points as to alienate old
a Hies, and that we must not be too
sqm ainisli about who ore nominees
provided they are stanch for the
paiiy.
Tins alternate strictness and la\itv
? laxity before nominating, strictness
alter it?lie resents. But will the
Ih'iuocrntie party relieve him ? Was
ihere ever a party thai accepted so
uulicsitat ugly, endorsed so lively all
that its acknowledged leaders say
and <to, as the Democratic party since
its reorganization against ?lohn
(juiney Adams? for fifty years it
has drawn the parly reins-with Ro
man lightness, frowned at anything
that approached bolting, and carried
the caucus system to its highest per
fection. jYct how lax, how easy, how
ready to accept new allies! how
gracious in finding room on front
seats for Webster men, Chase men,
Grceley men,?any 111311 that would
call themselves Democrats and accept ,
the party badge! Is an independent
voter likely to find this party tens u
forti/ than the Republican ?
Srrmiilh;. In order to acquire all
help it. can, the independent voter
charges the Republican party with j
being undecided, in act if not in
I speech, on sonic vital questions, and
especially the questions of the debt
and the currency. He objects that
the lv publican party have been
afraid ol so losing some votes that
they have given up the p id icy of pay
ment by contraction; that they have
delayed the date of resumption too
long; that they have resorted to var
ious financial nostrums to disguise the
real necessity of hard money,?all to
conciliate and retain in the party
certain inflationists. Is an independ
ent voter likely to pet relief on this
point among the Democrats ? Will
contraction be resumed? Will re
sumption be hastened ? Will infla
tionists be rebuked? Will any un
hesitating, unmistakable, decisive
policy, bard or soft, bo adopted ? AH
evidence yet obtained goes to show
that if .Republican platform-makers,
candidates, legislators, and admin
istrators arc on the fence in financo,
those of the Democratic party are j
building up exceptionally high and
broad fences to mount.
Thirdly. The independent voter
seriously objects to tbc Republican
party that it has not kept the civil
service properly pure; that it has
laughed at or frittered away plans for
reform, ami that it has made of Use the
reward of party service. Is the
Democracy likely to holp him ? Is
Mr. Tilden likely to reject the doc
trine of "spoils to the victors," first
formulated by his political Gamaliel,
William D. Marcy ? Suppose that,
any one does feel the flies ofoflioo
gorging on the national cart-ass, is he
likely to hear in the buzzings of the
Democratic swarm much inducement
to open the succession to them ? Shall
we forg t, within one mouth after
Thomas Aspih wall's (Lath, the at'ro
eious policy that removed him froni
an oliice be had held, without hint of
reproach or even inefficiency, f?i
thirty-seven years, maimed as lie was
in his country's service, and that
that policy has been the watchword
of every Democratic administration?
Civil service reform from tlie
Democracy V Yes, when Florida ships
ice to Massachusetts from Lake
Okeechobce.
J'oui't/i/j/, And this briefly,?the
independent voter thinks that repub
lican members of Congress waste far
too much time in talking for Ihincom
be, in opeuiitg.ohl sores ami recount
ing old party triumphs, instead of
giving their thoughts to practical
legislation. Does the. experience of
the last session prom'se much relief
in this particular from the Demo
crats ?
Anii Instil/,?because enough. Die
independent voter is much dissatisfied
with the Republican treatment of the
Southern ipiostion. He dislikes Mr.
Blame's Adcrson villc speech; he be
lieves that there has been a want of
statesmanship in tlie entire deal ings
with the matter; but he sees in all his J
doubts one bright spot,?he sees in j
the administration of Gov. Chamber
lain enliic impartiality, integtity, j
wisdom. He sees even Southern]
Democrats recognize this, and he sees
the Democratic parly, in their whole
sah; denunciation ol the Republican
treatment of the South, give nothing !
but opposition and ili>eourat;einent to
the only statesman who has handled
the Southern question like one.
For these reasons, if for lib others,
the author of this nrti.de, deeply re
gretting that the Kcpub icau party
has relied so exclusively on its past
record as to take lit best u doubt.'ul
stand on many important mailers of
jiriiiciplc, sees anything but comfort
in the prospect offered by the Demo
crats, and feels no hesitation in re
solving to vote for Hayes and
Wheeler.

Crossing for Improvement of Com
mon Sheep.
A Correspondent asks us the fol
lowing question: "What is the best
cross upon our common sheep for
quality and quantity of wool, for the
genet a 1 market, and lor weight ol
carcass ?"
This inquiry can be replied to from
so many standpoints, that an opinion
in favor of either of.the recognized
breeds requires certain explanations.
A cross of the long-wool?say Cols
wold, Leicester, or Lincoln?will in
sure an increase of carcass to nearly
or quite double the value ol the com
mon, or native, dam. The fleece will
have additional length, considerable
improvement in style, and a pei
eeplible increase in weight, 'fhe im
provement in length and lustre will
add to its market value.
A cross of middle wool, say South
down, Shropshire, &c.. will add great
ly to the quality of the meat, some
what less, though considerable, to its
quantity, will thicken somewhat tbc
fleece, and give it slight additional
weight, without adding much to its
value per pound.
A cross of the American merino
will mako a matked improvement in
fleece, adding to all its desirable char
acteristics, except that of length. Tho
weight, in many instances, will be
doubled, while in any other than an
anomalous condition of the market,
the value per pound will bo sonia
whht increased. The .size of carea ss
will not be increased, though its com
pactness and symmetry of outline will
be greatly improved.
With the average fanner the more
satisfactory results will be secured by
a cross with the long-wool breed or tin:
fine wool. The one will show its chief
improvement in the carcass, the other
in the fleece, though the merits'of
neither will be confined to these
prominent characteristics.
As a rule, the least satisfactory re
sults will be derived from a cross with
the "Downs"?this, not. from any de
fect in the breed, per but. rather
from less diversity in size in the one
and character of fleece in the other.
Sheep from this cross may reasonably
be expected to withstand the hard
ships, sometimes privations, incident,
to tin; lot of the fl oek when compell
ed to work its living oil'the average
farm, with better results than would
be realized from a long-vonl cross
simply treated?an 1, for "r >ugh ing
it," would prove nearly equal to the
results of the Merino cross.
In view of these considerations,
added to some minor ones, that may
be classed as results of taste rather
than experienced as a general con
clusion, we would advise across oftlie
Merino in preference to the others
referred to?always with the recom
mendation that the best ranis within
reach of the moans of the flock-owner
be used?and that none of the undo
animals of the cross be used as sires,
no matter how near the desired stand
ard they may approach.?National

A Lightning Bolt Writing God's
K?me on a Bbtsphemer.
Some o-f tnfrHcohtornpof a i*:e3 seem
disposed to questi in the trut h of mir
statement, that a eo'oro 1 in iti who w i
hilled by lightning a lew days ag > in
Campbell county had th : lei tors

Aifror,ite. an account ?>!* the cire.uin
stnneos, from which we extract the
following :
?'(hi the evening of the 6th "tust.,
Perry Jones and George Brown, color
ed men, notoriously the most profane,
wicked persons in the whole com
munity, with three other colored per
sons, took refuge, during the rain, ac
companied by a good deal of lightn
ing and thunder, ii. a tobacco barn on
the bind of Mr. George Creri'scy.
"From their several positions one
would have thought that two of the
others were in more, and third in as
much danger, as Jones and Brown
were. They, as their custom was,
were engaged in cursing and swear
ing. Suddenly the lightning descond
j cd upon them, and, while the other
three were comparatively uninjured,
Jones was killed, and Brown was
stricken down senseless, ami almost
lifeless for a time. He. revived after
a few minutes, and soon s'ctncd to
have' regained all of Iiis strength, but
wits dumb and bereft of his mi nil for
several hours. The lightning had set
lire to his clothing, ami he was burned
on his chest and left side and arm be
fore the lire wasex(inguished. In Iiis
maniac dibi ts to free himself from
those who were restraining him the
skin was rubbed from the burned ilcsli,
and presented the following charac
ters, GOD. A very (dose representa
tion , to say the least of them, of the
capital letters use I in pt biting the
name of Deity, while around and be
tween them tho skin wits tin removed,
and apparently not burned. The
above characters occupied the angles
of an equilateral triangle, which, as
you are doubtless aware, was in an
cient days the symbol of Deity. This
man, then, appears to have been
branded with the name of his Creator
in the symbolic language, it may be,
of his forefathers three thousand years
ago, and in the printed language of
the nation to which he belongs.?

Hurry and Haste
"Never do anything in a hurry," is
the advice to attorneys and solicitors
by Mr. Warren. "No one in a hurry
can possibly haiie, his wits about him;
and rcihcinbcr that in the law there
is ever an opponent watching to (ind
you oil" your guard. Von may oc
casionally be in haste, but you need
never bo in a hurry; take care?re
solve?hover to be so. Remember
always that (ithers' interests are oe
cupying your attention, and suil'cr by
your inadvertence?by that n jgligcuco
which generally occasions hurry. A
man of first-rate business taleiit?one
who always looks so calm and tran
quil j that it makes ono's-sclf feel cool
on a hot Summer day to look at him
?once told me that he had never been
in a hurry but once, and that was for
an entire fortnight, at the commence
ment of his career. It nearly killed
him; be spoiled everything he touch
ed: ho was always breathless, and
harassed, and miserable; bu'. it did
him good for life; he resolved never
again to be in a hurry?and never
was, no, not once, that he could re
member, during twenty-five years'
practice! Observe, 1 speak of being
hurried and flustered?not of being
in Jiaste, for that, is ?fter inevitable;
but then is a'ways sccti the superiority
and inferiority ef different tuen. Yo?
may indeed almost, define hurry as
the condition to which an tnferror
man is reduced by haste. I one day
observed, in a committee of the House
of Commons, silting on a railway bill,
the chief secretary of the company,
during several hours, while great
interests were in jeopardy, preserve a
truly admirable coolness, Lranquility,
and tcntpor, con fet ring on him im
mense advantages. His suggestions
to counsel were masterly, and ex
quisitjdv well i.itued; and by the close
ofithoidny he had triumphed. ' How

Fashions in Furniture.
The rage is now for the antique,
and of that peculiar form and fashion
known as Rastlakc, the general char
t eristics of which are straight lines
and right angles. From the rate at
which this style of furniture is [now
manufactured it will be a bad specu
lation for dealers if a sudden reaction
sets in, as immense stock will have to
go into at'ie seclusion. At present
everything, to be fashionable, must
be in this style, there being scarcely
an article of furniture that is not so
made. We were much strtiek in one
establishment with a magnificent
chamber sot of white holly, black
walnut, liirdseye maple and marble,
valued at about ?000. It was one
of the finest pieces of cabinet making
we ever saw, and it was particularly

homemade. It. would d> credit t">
