THE FARMER GIRI.'S CHOICE.

I am only a farmer's girl;John is only a farmer's lad.

But somehow, when we chance to meet,The very sound of his coming feet

Can make my heart so tfladThat up to my cheeks the warm blush flies,And he reads his welcome in my eyes.

I am only a farmer's girl;Master Tom is the Squire's son;

But, strange to tell, his feet this way-Turn often toward the close of day,

After the chores are done,When John (he passes the meadow gate)Gives such a scowl, and—will not wait.

I am only a farmer's girl.So what can the Squire want of me !

My heart is John's; John knows it well;But it isn't for me the truth to t e l l -

So bashful a lad i.s tie!So the Squire may come and the Squire may go,But all the answer he'll get is li No!"

The Squire praises my hair and eyes;The Squire says I'm a lady born.

What care I for his foolish sxseech?'TIB John's voice only my heart can teach

To sing like the birds at morn.But John is jealous, the foolish boy,And my days are shorn of half their joy.

Oh. I am only a farmer's girl.And John is only a farmer's lad.

But Td rather be his in his humble lifeThan be a w]fcay*' as Sqxiire's wife,

With a restles? heart and sad!But John—so b;^hful a boy is hi !Is a long while asking my heart of me.

" "VVliy don't you ever clean your bootson the scraper, William?" said Jane

vott to her husband. " I had justmade everything nice and comfortablevhen you came in; and now sec thelirt wherever you've been, from oneside of the room to the other; and itmust just be the same in the entries andon every stair. I'm completely tirednit with brushing and dusting "

"Fret! fret! just so every time Iome into the house!" was William's

soothing response. " I should thinkfour tongue would get tired."

" I do get tired of speaking to youibout things which make me so muchrouble; and yet you do not seem to

mind them at all.": No; and so much speaking only

makes me mind the less."" That's just as amiable as you are.

You never care how much I have to go;hrough, nor how much I suffer. Snchi continual effort for me to get along!My life seems a continual struggle, justor the sake of life," and here Jane be-

n to cry." What a fuss about a little dust on

lie carpet," snapped the husband." No, it's not merely that," retorted

the wife, in crying tone, "but you neverseem to care how hard and trying thingsmay be for me. You care nothing formy pleasure or ease. You know verywell I wouldn't mind the carpet once,but it's just so all the time and abouteverything. The man who shook thecarpets last week said ho never shouldhave thought that they had been takenup every year if ho hadn't been told so,for he hadn't shaken such dirty ones forfour years. Now, why should our housebe so much dirtier than other people's ?You know it's not my fault, for I'm asparticular as anybody."

"You've got a new saddle for yourhobby, and there'll be no end to yourriding it, just because that old fellowwanted to make a fool of you, and getthe job of shaking your carpets twice ayear."

"But, William," said Jane, puttingdown the handkerchief from her eyes,"why don't you be more careful? WhenI try so hard to get along and keepthings nice you needn't make so muchwork. Dear me, to have to live withsuch a person! It would have beenbetter for us both if we never had met."

Hereupon the husband, William, de-parted, leaving Jane to cry it out alone.She sobbed awhile quite heartily, andmade herself believe she was the mostunapjjreciated, unfortunate and miser-able of beings; then, like a good house-wife, she began to think.

"What good does all this do? I ammaking myself sick for nothing—myeyes will feel so badly that I can't sew."So she wisely rose and bathed them,brushed up her carpet and sat down toher needlework. But she, was not in agood mood, not repentant, nor forgiv-ing, nor cheerful, not even pacific.

She was in little better feeling whenshe met her husband at dinner, but was !quite in the humor to make demandsand let her grievances be manifest. Thecarving was hardly over when she be-gan:

''William, did you see about havingthe stove cleaned and lined this morn-ing? Bridget says she cannot cookwith it any longer as it is, and it makesher so cross I can hardly manage her."

"No; I hadn't time," was the laconicanswer.

"Hadn't time! I guess you couldhave found time if you'd tried—I've noidea you ever thought of it. If youcared anything for other people, you'dthink of them and find time to see tothings. You find time for your ownmatters."

"You seem to know so much, why do 'you ask me? Perhaps you'd better seeto your affair* yourself."

"What hadn't I better do? I do al-most everything now, yet you neverseem satisfied. I supjiose I can go tothe stove store, since you don't seem tobe able to do anytliing—I don't knowbut I shall have to go to the tailor's yet,to order your clothes for you. Well, Iwant to know if you saw Walker aboutthose drawers, as I hive so often askedyou to? I am in sucn need of them I jdon't know what to do. Everything is Iin confusion in the closets."

"No; I didn't see Walker.""Well, when will you?""I don't know.""Will you ever?""That I don't know. Anything fur-

ther ?""Yes. Did you got a latch for Bridget's

door?""No.""I asked you to be sure and remem-

ber it when you went out from break- Ifast. That door is slam, slam the whole jtime. I never saw anybody like you.I cannot get anything done, and it's justso always."

Mr. Lovett ate away unmoved, andhis wife, not thinking of any other sub-ject of complaint at that moment, fin-ished her dinner in silence.

Just as Mr. Lovett was leaving thedining-room,' she called out, "William,Alboni sings to-night; can't you take meto hear her?"

"I have an engagement this evening,"he answered, with Ids hand upon thedoor.

"It's the last night she sings, and Ihaven't heard her," said Jane.

"I can't help it," said William."You don't try to help it. Mr. Linton

took his wife twice to hear her, andthey're going again to-night. Mrs. Lin-ton thinks she sings as well as JennyLind."

"I suppose she has a right to heropinion."

"Well, why can't you take me?" per-sisted Jane.

"Take you to a concert, after all you'vesaid!"

"Anything for an excuse! You knowI've said nothing but the truth, and younever take me anywhere, and neverdid!"

"No, never!" said Lovett, in a tone ofirony, as he closed the door.

Jane was not disappointed, for shehad no expectation of going to the con-cert. She only asked her husband totake her in order to try him, and to showhim what other husbands did, and whathe didn't do.

She had now so far relieved herselfthat she was in a mood for wholesomethought and reflection, and she soon be-gan to have some misgivings as to theright of the course she had been pursu-ing, and also as to its wisdom. Bightand wisdom are, in fact, the same thing.

Jane Lovett was at heart a woman ofgood motives and kind feelings, though,as we have seen, she had '-an irritable,uncomfortable temper. Her tempera-ment was nervous as that of too manywomen in these days—our grandmotherswould have called them cross, ugly, or,most likely, scolds and vixens; but,in the light of our philanthropy, weknow better—dear hearts! they arenervous!

Juno Lovett was nervous—she hadtoo much regard for trifles, a too-livelyconception of evils, and little facility inadapting herself to circumstances. Shewas also affectionate and imaginative,and in her girlhood had formed a highideal for her lover.

Her opportunities of acquaintancewith her husband before marriage werelimited, and so she loved, and hoped,and trusted ho was all she would desirein a life-long companion and lord. Yes,lord, for she had an idea that she wouldlike to look up to somebody, lean uponhim, cling to him, reverence him, andall that sort of thing.

How was she disappointed! What achange a few weeks of married life doessometimes make in a woman's future! •

William Lovett was a man of verygood natural feelings and endowments,and could make himself very agreeablswhen he tried, else he never would havewon his wife—but he had few of thequalifications that make domestic life aparadise for woman. Ho had' beenreared alone, without any homo disci-pline and education, and was oftenthoughtless and inconsiderate of others,and sometimes selfish. He lacked allthe useful and convenient, though un-appreciated habits of order, tidiness andpromptness; and, what was worse for aman, he even lacked industry and en-ergy. He could rouse himself for anemergency, but it was only for that, andthen he sank back into his former indif-ferent, careless ease.

Such a character was least of all inaccordance with that of Jane, who waspossessed of great energy, and had beentrained to carefulness and industry.

At first she was greatly distressed inher disappointment, and recently la-mented her fate in bitterness of spirit,but keen feelings do not last long. Sheradually grew accustomed to her lot,"

and endeavored to perform its dutiesfaithfully, though she was not happy,and was very often annoyed by thedelinquencies and deficiencies of herhusband. They irritated her temper,and she would complain and fret. Thiscourse had no effect to improve things.It seldom has.

Matters grew worse year by year.The husband's affection waned by de-grees, and he became more and moreinattentive and selfish, while the caresand anxieties of the wife kept increas-ing, and with them increased her com-plaining and fretting. An unenviablestate of things, most surely. I wonderif it's rare ?

After the dinner colloquy we havegiven, Jane returned to her room,thoughtful and repentant. She dis-coursed with herself somewhat in thiswise:

"I am sorry I was so cross at dinner.William might have been pleasant if Ihad given him a chance. What a miser-able life we are leading! I am so un-happy, and things are growing worseand worse—what may they come to?To be sure, William is not what I oncethought he was, but that cannot behelped now—he is my husband; we arevowed unto each other till death, andwhy not make the best, instead of theworst, of my lot? And it is not so badas it might be, after all. William mightbe dissipated or dishonest, which he isnot now. But who knows what he maybecome, if I any longer render his homeunhappy. Oh, I am wrong! I know Iam! Let me try to do better! Godhelp me! Finding fault with Williamdoes not improve him; I have tried itlong enough; I will try what gentleness,meekness and endurance may do. Ishall make, him happier in that way, andit is easier to bo virtuous when we arehappy than when we are wretched. Itwill require a strong effort and unremit-ting watchfulness to overcome my faultsof temper, but is not the happiness andwell-being of life a sufficient motive? Iwill make the effort. I cannot changecharacter and circumstances, but I willsuit myself to them."

Jane thus came to a wise resolution,which she ought to have made, early inher married life; but it was- in this oaseaccording to the old maxim, " better latethan never." And, what was wiser thanthe resolution, she began to act upon it.Plenty of good resolutions are made—afew remembered—fewer kept.

When her husband came home to tea,Jane was dressed neatly, and, thoughthere was a cloud on his brow, shelooked and spoke pleasantly. It was aneffort for her to appear in the same wayin the morning, for he was still moodyand silent, and disobliging, but she re-membered her resolution, and did notbreak it.

In the middle of the forenoon he en-tered her room on some errand, as onthe day previous, with boots unscraped;she seemed to take no notice of them.

" I think I must have made a lightbreakfast," he said, carelessly.

Jane soon disappeared, and returning,offered him a plate of tempting sand-wiches.

He looked up at her in surprise." What does this mean, Jane?"" I thought you were hungry, and I

wanted to please you," was her ingenu-ous reply.

He took the sandwiches with onehand, and, drawing her toward him withthe other, kissed her tenderly.

"Why Jane, we're growing youngagain."

"1 wish we might grow good and lov-ing," was her answer, as she returnedthe kiss.

When he was gone, Jane brushed upher carpet quickly and cheerfully; andit did not seem half so dirty as the daybefore, though the mud was much deep-er in the streets. The boot-scraper wasnot forgotten again that day, and, be-fore night, a man appeared to put thestove in order, and Walker called to sayhe was sorry he had disappointed Mrs.L. about the drawers; ho would havethem done very soon.

Jane kept herself good-natured andcheerful the next day, and several otherdays, although William often forgot thathis boots were muddy when he camehome, and several times turned all thedrawers inside out to find what ho hadleft at his office; woke up the baby withhis loud sneezes; forgot half her com-missions, important as they were to her,and even delayed to order coal till oneday there was none with which to cookthe dinner.

She schooled herself to patience.Sometimes, when a murmuring wordwas coming, she bit her lips and kept itback. Sometimes she left the room togather strength and self-control, butoftenest spoko of something beside the.subject of vexation as quickly as pos-sible.

At the end of a week, Alboni's "lastconcert" was again announced.

"Now, Jane, we'll hear Alboni to-night," said William at breakfast."She's going to sing again—perhapson your account. You'll go, I sup-pose?"

"Yes, thank you, but I don't care muchabout hearing hew I'd almost as liefstay at home with you."

"Why, don't you think she sings aswell :is Jenny Lind?"

"No, I don't do yon?"''Hardly; but you say Mrs. Linton

does. We'll hear her, though, andsee."

When they were returning from theeoncert that .night, Mr. Lovett said tohis wife:

"Well, Jane, what did you think ofAlboni?"

"O, I was charmed.""Well, did you think she sang as well

as the nightingale ?""Indeed, I enjoyed her singing more

—she somehow' made me feel so happy—so full of delight. Weren't you de-lighted?"

"Yes, I must own I was; but I cannotgive Alboni credit for all. You've beensuch a dear good girl lately, Jane"—andhe bent his face very near to hers, Iknow, though one couldn't see distinct-ly for the darkness. "I really thinkwe're growing young again."

Battle AVifh Moonshiners.On the 1st inst., Special Deputy Col-

lector J. M. Phillips left here with fiftywell-equipped men for a raid on the il-licit distilleries of Overton, Putnam,Fentress and Jackson counties, destroy-ing eight illicit concerns valued at$l,3Q0. Phillips says that on approach-ing the distillery of Jonathan Allred, onthe 3d inst., they wore fired into at shortrange by James Pitman, an employe ofAllred, but without effect. At the dis-tillery of 0. N. Bowman, four shotswere fired at them, and two or threemen were seen at a distance with armsin their arms. On reaching Crawfordmill, on Roaring river, at a mountaintorrent which passes through some ofthe roughest country in Christendom,consisting of high, abrupt hills, bluffs,and deep ravines, they heard a hornblown, and, in response, four or fivemen made their appearance on the crestof a bluff 100 feet in height, whichcommanded a ford which Phillips andhis men expected to cross. Phillipssent Special Deputy Collector Mauphinwith eighteen men up the river with in-structions to cross that stream and comedown in the rear of the wild-cat men.As soon as Mauphin and his men camein sight of the distillers on the oppositeside of- the bluff from Phillips, themoonshiners formed in regular line ofbattle and at once opened fire on Mau-phin, who returned it, killing four illicitdistillers, breaking another's thigh, andslightly wounding another. The reve-nue men were then forced to retreat forwant of ammunition, but were not fol-lowed by the moonshiners, who stillkept around their very advantageousposition. None of the revenue raidersreceived a scratch. Citizens whoclaimed to know told Phillips that therewere not less than 100 moonshinersarmed with long-range guns, and thatthey are being reinforced by partiesfrom other localities. The illicit distil-lers fired at random, making scatteringshots, while the revenue men, who arecomposed equally of ex-Federal and ex-Confederate soldiers, coolly reservedtheir fire, and only put their bulletswhere they thought most was to be ac-complished. The illicit distillers hadformed an ambush for the revenue men,supposing they would cross the ford ontheir way to Flat creek. They wereprepared to cover their rear from thefirst point where the moonshiners wereobserved, drive them through a narrowpass into the very clutches of tho illicitdistillers, who would bo enabled to fireat them from four sides, and thus anni-hilate them.—Nashville (Tenn.) Cor.Chicago Times.

THE CAPITALIST AND THE LA-BORER.

[Dr. J. Q. Holland, in October Scribner.]

We had occasion, some months ago,to allude to the examples of immor-ality furnished by men of money tomen of labor, in endeavoring to account,in some measure, for the brutal excessesof the latter. It was a plain case, thathardly needed arguing. Tho notoriousfacts, in connection with the moneyedclasses for the last ten years, are thosewhich relate to tho betrayal of trusts,the watering of stocks, gambling ingrain and other necessaries of life, thowrecking of insurance companies, thebursting of savings banks through steal-ing and reckless management, the run-ning of railroads in the interest of di-rectors rather than in that of stockhold-ers and the public, etc., etc. Poor peo-ple have looked on, and felt all thepower of this degrading example. Theway in which capital has been managedand mismanaged in this country hasbeen utterly demoralizing. Tho poorhave seen capitalists stealing from oneanother in a thousand ways, and evenstealing their own hard-earned savings.The gambling in stocks, the gamblingin grain, tho defalcations among menWho have been universally trusted, themalversation of persons high in thochurch, the great "game of, grab," playedso generally among those supposed tobare money, and among the great cor-porations—all these have tended tobreak down the public morality; and, ifthe poor have been apt to learn thelessons of life from "the superior classes,"they have simply learned to steal. Whatwonder that trades-unions thrive? Whatwonder that we have a "commune?"What wonder that wo have un-reasonable mobs? If stealing is tobe the order of the day, the poor wanttheir chance with the rest!

Tho old saying is that corporationshave no souls; and we suspect that, add-ed to the influences we have recounted,tending to fill the poor with discontentand to array them against capital, is thesoulless character of corporation life.A corporation combines the capital of acertain number, or an uncertain number,of persons. It is a combination for thesimple purpose of making money. Itdoes not take along with it the morali-ties, the amenities, the sympathies, thebenevolences, of the stockholders. Asa rule, any individual stockholder hasvery little influence. He is simply con-cerned, therefore, to get his regulardividends; and the directors who man-age everything are mainly interested inso directing their affairs as to be able tofulfill his expectation. It is not forthem to take the morality, the health,the comfort, the competent wages oftheir employes into account. It isnot for them to provide church andschool privileges for their operatives, tolook after them in sickness, to pensionthem in old age, to furnish theni -withreading-rooms and amusements. To acorporation, a workman is a machine,running by vital power, to be supportedat the lowest cost, that he may help topay a dividend. So there never can be,until the policy of the world changes,any affectionate relations between a cor-poration and its oiseratives. It is notrecognized by its operatives as having asoul. It is nothing toward which theycan exercise the sentiment of gratitude,or love, or loyalty. It is simply theirtask-master and the agency throughwhich they receive their just or unjustwages.

Few people are aware of the over-shadowing power of corporations inthis country. They have grown withtho country's growth, until they control,directly or indirectly, all our industries.The railroad corporations representenormous capital and enormous power.Mining and manufacturing corporationsemploy an immense amount of labor.Literally, millions of men are the serv-ants of corporations, and wherever amob starts up it will be found to havesome sort of connection with a corpora-tion. These servants, or operatives,never regard the pro]jerty of a corpo-ration as they regard the property of aman. To them there seems to be noowner for it who has a better right to itthan themselves. They entertain thesame feeling toward it that richer menfeel toward the Government. If theywatch Congress they will find that bodyvoting appropriations for objects whichare entirely illegitimate. Every Con-gress steals from tho Government in oneway or another, and suffers no compunc-ions of conscience. The Government

has no soul. Congress would not vote-away an individual's money, but it willvote away the nation's money, and laughover it as a good joko. Rich and goodpeople are caught smuggling without athought that they are doing wrong. Thewrong consists entirely in being foundout. So we say that a great company ofignorant work-people who never seoanything in a corporation but its power—a power without a heart—a powerwithout a conscience—a power of moneyonly—will not, when excited by real orfancied wrong, respect its property.

It is gravely prophesied in high news-paper quarters that before the time inwhich this article will seethe light shallarrive there will bo an uprising of the"commune," or violence and riotingamong workmen in different parts ofthe country. We trust that file fore-boding is groundless, but we may besure that wo shall always be liable l<>these uprisings until the rich shall set abetter example in the management oftheir trusts and in tho conduct of theirbusiness, and until something more hu-man and more Christian shall enter intothe relations between corporations andthe men and women in their employ.There are private manufactories in thiscountry in which an uprising or a strikewould be simply impossible—in whichthe relations between the employers andthe employed are so respectful and af-fectionate, and in which the interests ofthe latter are so carefully and conscien-tiously regarded, that no misunderstand-ing can occur. The work-people feelthat their employers are their friends,and in this friendship their sell-respectand their integrity arc nourished. There'must come, sooner or later, in this coun-try, a change in the principles or policyof corporation management. Corpora-tions must recognize tho fact that work-men have souls—that their self-respectmust be strengthened, that their mindsmust be fed, and that they have a moralright to a part of the wealth whichtheir labor, combined with the brainsand the money invested, produces. Inshort, corporations must have souls, andre'eognize the souls, and the wants oftho souls, in their employ. The time isgone by when men can be treated simplyas brutes without dangerously arousingthe brutal element in them. Men wanta chance for their wives and children.

They want a chance for better homes, orfor privileges which will make theirlives more significant. They are short-sighted, and cannot reason it all out.They have worked hard, and they havehad nothing but bread and poor shelter.They feel as if they ought to have more;so they take the suicidal short-cut, yieldto their brutal impulses, and work mis-chief to themselves and to all society.We speak of them as ignorant, but, afterall, they are no more ignorant than themanagers of corporations who have notyet learned that a man is a man, andthat he cannot be treated simply as ananimal or a machine, either economicallyto themselves or with safety to the coun-try. And the rich everywhere are igno-rant if they suppose that they can harm-lessly set the poor an example of treach-ery to trust, of greed without conscience,and of a policy that constantly subvertsthe golden rule.

Hog Cholera.Dr. Dunlap, in his lecture here last

week, brought out a great many newand interesting facts regarding a hogand his diseases. He said the hog wasnot a native of this country, but hadbeen brought over by the Pilgrims. Heis a native of a warm climate, and there-fore the idea that the warm weather wasinjurious to him is false. As he is astranger to our climate, we should care-fully study his habits. Tho hog in hiswild state gets most of his nourishmentfrom the ground. This being the case,he should have the same articles of foodgiven him that he would get in theground. If fed artificially, tho salts andother substances found in the groundshould be supplied artificially. He saidthere was no such disease as hog cholerain reality. All diseases of hogs aregrouped together as cholera, although itis improperly done. He has made thestudy of tho disease his business of late.He calls the disease typhoid fever; saysthey have tho same symptoms peoplehave with this fever. It is caused by apeculiar ]ooison in the blood; had exam-ined nearly 100 in the last few weeks;duration of disease is from seven tofourteen days; will take disease in fromseven to fourteen days after exposure;tho first symptom is headache; won'teat; keep food away; don't try to forcehim to eat in this stage; has a slightcough; a stiffness of back and hindquarters; is sore in bowels; don't givesevere cathartics, but gentle; hog is con-stipated; the causes of the disease arenumerous; the principal are bad air,crowding, bad food, bad water, etc., etc.Slough water is one of the principalcauses; filth is another great cause; saysto never use straw for bedding; but useclay always, and be careful to keep thepens clean; give them plenty of purewater, but keep them away from sloughs;is opposed to inter-breeding; believes itgenerates disease; recommends cross-breeding as much as possible. The fol-lowing is the recipe for the cure of thecholera which he gave, and says it hasnever failed to work a cure: Hypo-sulphite soda ten pounds, bicarbonatesoda'five pounds, copperas one pound;mix together; give one pound of mixt-ure to thirty sick hogs twice or threetimes a day, or to thirty well hogs everymorning on an empty stomach. Ifbowels are costive, adcl glauber salts halfounce with each dose, until bowels aremoved. Mix a pound of the above mixt-ure in slop made of milk and groundfeed (not sour); add two teaspoonfuls ofcarbolic acid before giving. The hogsmust be kept on dry ground and al-lowed no raw corn.'—Atlantic Messen-ger.

In a Horrible State.W. J. Jones, who was tarred and

feathered by Reno (Nev.) people andthen sent out of town on a westward-bound train, was in a pitiable conditionwhen he reached Truckee. The Iie-jnMican of that place says: "We sawthe victim Thursday night on the over-land train. He was in a truly pitiablecondition. Coal-tar or gas-tar had beenused, and used freely. This substanceblisters like a mustard-plaster. Thecuticle will peel off of Mr. Jones justas if he had been boiled. His hair andthe wound on his head were filled withtar. The hair stuck out in all direc-tions, or at least a mass of hair stuckout. The sockets of his eyes were levelfull with solid tar, which seemed tohave been poured into them and al-lowed to cool. His whiskers seemed alarge, unshapely mass of tar. His face,neck and, we are told, his entire bodyhad a thick coating. The vigilanteskindly clothed him before putting himon the train. The sight might havebeen ludicrous if it had not been ago-nizing. Tho train was nearly throehours in reaching Truckee. The painendured by the poor fellow was excru-ciating. Sightless, helpless, coated withn horrid odoriferous substance, he satsilently, with his head bowed over.Occasionally his fingers would graspspasmodically at the ojien air. Some-times his body would twitch nervously,as if from the pain he endured. Arriv-ing at Truckee, Grandison Jones andanother colored man were put to workto remove the tar. It was an hour be-fore Dr. K. J. Goss was called upon andthe linseed oil which he prescribed ob-tained. Everybody who saw the poorwretch pitied him. The very men whoperformed the deed would have pitiedhim. His sufferings were extreme. Hiseyes were fairly burning up. No oneever heard before of putting tar on aman's face and in his eyes. For sixhours two men worked faithfully neu-tralizing the tar and removing it fromhis body. We saw him this morning.His eyes were terribly inflamed. It isdoubtful if he ever recovers his sight.It is feared the eye-balls have beenburned and blistered and forever de-stroyed."

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

BAD salt spoils good butter.THE specific gravity of butter-fats is

always higher than that of meat-fats.A CAI.F at C weeks old, if properly

fed, produces the best veal.PULVERIZED charcoal has a wonderful

effect upon bloated animals.HAY cut at tho proper time and wel

cured contains a large proportion oisaccharine matter.

FANCY farming may be indulged inas a recreation, by men with otheimeans of support. Such men maypride themselves in it, and claim to bemodel agriculturists. They are 1101true farmers.

SAWDUST of itself is not a manureIt is an excellent absorbent, undoubtedly, when used as bedding; but whatevermanurial influences it exerts, even thenare due to the matters absorbed. Strawor leaves are much preferable.—CanadaFarmer.

WHILE leaks on the farm in the mailare considered a bad thing, if all ouifarms were well supplied with the kincof leaks that carry off tho surplus wateiquickly, wo might soon gain a surplusthat could be applied to stopping othoileaks.

TIMOTHY and red top mixed, at thrate of a peck of the first and a busheof the latter per acre, would do we]

I upon a moist, drained meadow. Orcharc! grass and Kentucky blue grass, a busheof each per acre, would be the best foropen timber land.—American Agriculturist.

THE great error in wheat husbandryconsists in this: Sufficient time is nosuffered to elapse, between plowing forwheat and seeding, to admit of tha-

packing of the soil and that preliminarydecomposition of crude vegetable matter, which, on most soils, is an indispensable prerequisite to a good wheaicrop.—Letter to Exchange.

AMONG some of the best farmers othis State the practice prevails of lottingthe hay that the fork will not gather inloading the wagons remain upon tinground, for two reasons: First, that iidoes not pay for raking up and gathering; second, that it acts as a mulchagainst the burning suns of the latter-part of July and August.—Pennsylva-nia Journal.

THE use of straw, or coarse hay, as amulch for protecting winter wheat dur-ing the winter is advisable. But careshould be exercised lest too much strawmay be used, and the wheat smothered.Six inches of straw would be too much.One inch would be enough. The ob-ect should be to protect the soil from

jtha-.ving repeatedly, during the winter,as it is tho frequent freezing after thaw-ing which destroys the wheat.—Ameri-can Agriculturist.

A FARMER of experience says that thefeet of a horse require more caro thanthe body. They need ten times asmuch, for in one respect they are al-most the entire horse. All the groom-ing that can be done won't avail any-thing if the horse is forced to standwhere his feet will be filthy. In thiscase the feet will become disordered,and then the legs will get badly out offix, and with bad feet and bad legsthere is not much else of the horse fitfor anything.

BLEEDING a horse is generally done inthe vein with a broad-bladed lancet;and w-hen the vein is sufficiently pressedand secured, so as to cause it to swell,then the point of the lancet is sent inwith the left hand, and, cutting upward,makes all the opening necessary. Whensufficient blood is taken, the cut oughtto be squeezed together and fastenedwith a pin. By pressing the vein belowthe wound the blood will shoot out in astream and fall clear into the bucketready to receive it.

To INSECTS we owe wax and honey,silk and precious dyes, valuable medi-cines, food for birds and many otheranimals, the fertilization and increaseof plants necessary for the subsistenceof many creatures, and thus, indirectly,for the preservation of man. In short,the human species, wholly deprived ofthe service of insects, would fade fromthe face of our planet. So the hus-bandman has only to make the best ofit by learning to distinguish betweenhis friends and his foes, and howto assist the beneficent operationsof nature in encouraging the formerand checking the latter.—Boston Jour-nal of Chemislnj.

A YOUNG man starting out in farmingcannot do a better thing than to plantan apple orchard if his laud is within"the apple belt." Don't rely on thegnarled and decaying old trees; the lifeof an orchard, under favorable con-ditions, is only about that of a man.Nothing will lift a mortgage, or run upthe profit side of the account, like aprime orchard in its first years of bear-ing. Go for the standard varieties orsuch as experience lias proved do wellin your locality and soil. Theories aregood in their place, but a day spent indriving through your town and findingout what fruit-growers have actuallylearned and done, is better. Got yourtrees from some reliable nursery—thenearer at hand tho better—and use yourown best caro and other people's expe-rience in planting them]

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.

COLORING KID GLOVES.—White kidmay easily be colored black, purple orlilac with a solution of one part extractlogwood and three parts brandy. Applywith a sponge and rub until dry.

CHEAP REFRIGERATORS.—A flower-potwrapped in a wet cloth and placed overa butter-plate will keep the contents ofthe plate as hard and firrn as if theywere set on ice; and milk will not sourif the can containing it be wrapped in awet cloth.

GOOD MUFFINS.—Most people likemuffins. This is how to make them:One heaped teacupful of flour; twoteaspoonfuls of baking-powder; onetable-spoonful of white sugar; onebeaten egg; one table-spoonful of melt-ed butter; one teacupful of sweet milk.Drop from a spoon into muffin-ringsset in pie-tins, and bake in a well-heatedoven.

BREAD SAUCE.—Put into half a pintof cold milk one small onion, three orfour cloves, a small blade of mace, a fewpepper-corns, and a little salt. Set thewhole to boil, then strain the milk overa teacupful of fine bread crumbs. Stirwell on tho fire for a few minutes, add-ing at the time of serving either a smallpat of butter or a table-spoonful ofcream.

SALT FOR BEDBUGS.—To get rid ofbedbugs, wash the room and the furni-ture of the room they frequent with saltwater, filling the cracks with salt, andyou may look in vain for them. Saltseems inimical to bedbugs, and theywill not trail through it. Some think itpreferable to all ointments, and thebuyer requires no certificate as to itsgenuineness.

CRAB-AI'PLE PRESERVE. — Pick overthe fruit carefully, leaving the stems on ;get as many pounds of sugar as youhave pounds of fruit; put the sugar overthe fire with enough hot water to dis-solve it nicely; when it comes to a boildrop in the apples, and let them boilslowly for about forty minutes, skim-ming all the time; heat the jars in hotwater; put in tho hot fruit, and seal atonce; or put them in stone crocks andcover with paper.

RED-PEPPER CATCHUP.— Cut up ripepep]">ers and place them in a preservingkettle until it is full; then cover withtho best cider vinegar and boil until thepeppers have dropped to pieces. Afterremoving from tho fire, as soon as thosauce is cool enough, I rub it through awire sieve. It is much better, in myopinion, without salt or any other con-diments, and it is of a beautiful scarletcolor, and so thick that it must lie putup for use in large-mouthed bottles orjars, and will keep fresh for years. It

I should boil slowly for at least fourhours.

SMALL TALK.—A good way to makeflat-irons smooth is to rub them withclean lard and rub dry. A small quan-tity of turpentine added to stove-black-ing w-ill make the stove easier to polish.

To remove old putty from window-frames, pass a red-hot poker slowly overit, and it will come off easily. -A veryfair oak stain may bo produced by equalparts of potash and pearlash, say twoounces of each to about a quart ofwater. Keep it corked up in a bottle,and it is always ready for use. If itstrikes too deep a color, add more water.

OIliL'tltl-- of tlltXgUCB&O ia 1 CC < 'mmnenclotlas a perfectly harmless substitute for theoften dangerously-adultered violetpowder. To preserve cut flowers, puta drop or two of ammonia in the water.Change the water every day and cut offhalf an inch or so of the stems of theflowers. Plants for winter floweringshould be keijt in pots all summer.They should be brought in the houseand placed in their position before thewinter fires are made.

The First White Man on American Soil.A writer in tho Jewish Messenger

cites Alexander von Humboldt's " Cos-mos" as an authority for a claim that aJew was the first white man who setfoot on American soil.

The Jew, however, had boon baptized.In a note in volume 11, chapter vi.,Humboldt relates that, on his first ex-pedition, Columbus, when a]">proachingtho island of Cuba, believed himself tobe between two Chinese ports. Desir-ing to hand the letters which he pos-sessed from the European monarchs tothe "great Chan of the Moguls" inChina, and then return to Spain, he" sends a baptized Jew, Louis do Torresby name, to the shore, because he un-derstands the Hebrew, the Chaldac, andsome Arabic, those languages beiugused in all the mercantile places ofAsia."

A Hint to Ihe Consumptive.A correspondent of Les Mondes calls

attention to the fact that butchers,though they may be ]3ale and thin whenthey enter on the business, quickly gainfreshness of color, stoutness, and a gen-erally comfortable look. It is a purefiction, of course, that they put aside thebest portions of the meat for themselves,and it is a known fact that most of themlose appetite. The correspondent at-tributes the general well-being to assim-ilation, through the respiratory passages,of nutritive juices of the meat volatil-ized in the air—a kind of nutrition byeffusion. If this be really a fact, it isargued that young people, sufferingfrom deficient or impure blood, andespecially children of a weak or lym-phatic constitution, might be subjectedwith advantage to hygienic treatmentbased upon it. A well-known Frenchphysician commends the idea, and offersthe following plan for tho treatment ofconsumptive persons, in place of send-ing them off' to distant places with re-putedly mild climates. In a well-ven-tilated, sun-lit and sheltered room, withsouthern exposure, he would, by meansof a Mousseron brazier, the high, moistheat of which is salutary and favorableto respiration, form for the patient anartificial climate, like that of Nice orFlorida, having all the advantages, with-out the inconveniences, of the real cli-

JefTerson's Grave.And then we drive on to the base of

Carter's mountain, and as the horsespull us up the stony, winding road weget glimpses of scenery of extremebeauty. The corn stands stacked infields where lichen-covered stone wallsand hedges, after the English fashion,mark the boundaries. Then the viewis shut in by banks of drooping fernsand tangled vines and underbrush, withhere and there a wild daisy or cardinalflower. And again, a vista through thetrees reveals the dome of the universityglistening in the sun, and away off tothe west the misty outlines of the BlueRidge mountains. The country roundabout is rolling. Small streams wind inbehind and out from rounded hills, andthe railroad, also taking a serpentinecourse, causes the train of cars to looklike a graceful snake as it curves firstthis way and then that, in its endeavorto avoid the hills. Near the top of"Mont'cello" (Little mountain) we comeupon the family graveyard, where Jef-ferson io buried. A high brick wall,with iron gratings, extends around aclearing in the woods. A rude, lowpillar of rough granite, with simply hisname, birth and death cut in the base,marks the spot. "Died July i. 1826,"just fifty years after the signing of thatfamous Declaration! The monumentfirst erected was carried off piece bypiece by those vandals, the relic hunters,and now another is to be put up at thoexpense of Congress. The spot is sin-gularly solitary, no view is visible, talltrees surround it and sigh solemn re-quiems at every breath of air that stirs.The carriage-way that leads to the man-sion goes close by, but it only adds tothe effect of isolation.—Cor. TroyTimes.

Facts for Kerosene Burners.Every lamp filled with the fluid is lia-

ble to explode after burning severalhours. But no explosion will ever hap-pen when the lamp is full. The dangerconies from the constant generation ofan invisible vapor in the confined spaceabove the oil. The vapor, which is in-flammable, is caused by the heat of theburner communicated to the oil; but itwill not explode unless exposed to flame.The metal attachments on lamps oftenbecome forty degrees warmer than thooil, which is itself sometimes as high as200 degrees. Hence, kerosene, to beentirely safe, should be near 150 de-grees proof.

In the United States alone, last year.over 100 deaths per week were reportedfrom accidents by kerosene.

A simple test is to place a table-spoonful of the oil in a saucer and applya lighted match; if the oil ignites it isunsafe; never use it. If it does nottake fire it is not necessarily safe, be-cause the temperature of the oil in openair is not so great as that in a burninglamp.

Keep the metallic parts of lamps cleanand the air passages open. After a lamphas been burning three or four hours atone time, never relight again till filled.

In extinguishing the light, turn thowick down quite low and allow a fewseconds to intervene before blowingout the flickering flame, or, better still,do not blow it out, but let it flicker out.—Prairie Farmer.

THE Free Press says : " Ira B. Card

is everywhere gaining friends in the

Second District." Ho promises to prove

the " winning Card."

MR. HEWITT, chairman of the Demo-cratic National Committee during thecampaign of 1876 and until his resigna-tion some months after election, prompt-ly and vigorously repudiates all respon-sibility for or knowledge of the Gra-inercy Park and Tallahassee cipher dis-patches.

THIS is how the Chicago Times inter-prets the result of the recent Stateelections: " They didn't even stop tosearch for the fifth rib of the rug-baby,and kill it secumdem artem. They simplyand unceremoniously sat down uponthe poor thing and crushed the life outof it."

A NUMBER of Detroiteis are anxiousto get a brief suck at the public teat:or that is the only way we can accountfor the recent application to JudgeBaxter to appoint supervisors of regis-tration and election under the UnitedStates law. There is certainly no ne-cessity for such a new brood of officialsin ordor to secure an honest registrationand election in Detroit.

EVERY measuro or act of Congress ofwhich the Greenbackers complain wasenacted by a Eepublican Congress. ForDemocrats to leave their party becauseof such legislation is the supremestfolly. Throwing away their votes uponthe National-Greenback State, Con-gressional, or County ticket, will benext to voting the Republican ticket.Will old-time Democrats vote so un-wisely ?

DOWN in Ohio the Eepublican-Green-backers quietly voted the Republicanticket and left the poor Democratic-Greenbackers " out in the cold," a sorrylooking set. If Michigan Democratswho are now joint nurses of the ragbaby don't keep their eyes open theywill get served the same shabby trick onNovember 5. In voting the National-Greenback ticket they will only aid inincreaeing the Republican majority.

THE New York Sun correctly says :" The public await with profound in-terest the answer Samuel J. Tilden maymake to the attempts to cast odiumupon him by recent publications of whatcurported to be cipher telegrams andtheir translations, addressed by and tointimate friends of his while the decisionof the Presidential election was pend-ing." Mr. Tilden cannot afford delay,and it will not do for him to filter hisdenials through anonymous correspon-dents and interviews.

CONGRESSMAN Sayler, of oue of theCincinnati districts, was an honustmoney man, but before the recent elec-tion thought it necessary to play hide;and-seek with the National Greenback-ers. And so the voters of his districttook o£f his hide. Had he stood firmupon his convictions he could consolehimself that defeat was honorableNow he has no reward. Let MichiganDemocrats take warning.

W1LLARD vs. WILLARO.The Hon. George Willard, of the Bat-

tle Creek Journal, ex-Regent of theUniversity and ex-mcmbot of Congress,is one of the mon who give prominenceand character to the National-Green-back movement iu this State. JVIr.Willard is a scholarly man with a con-servative reputation as a politician, andhis new party friends take delight inciting his eminent respectability andpushing him to the front.

Now Mr. Willard may bo an honestconvert to the doctrines of the newparty, and an able exponent of its prin-ciples, but wo should be pleased to havehim give us the occasion or source of hisnew light, so that we may test hispresent belief and position by his pre-vious utterances. Meantime, we giveour readers, among whom are some ofMr. Willard's present admirers and co-laborers, the following extract from anoration delivered by him at Verinont-ville, Eaton County, July 4 1875, his an-nounced theme being "False Alarms andReal Dangers " :

" The next peril which I shall mention, fel-low-citizens, is the financial oue. The ques-tion whether a dollar shall be a dollar is onewhich the Americnu people are required to de-terruino, and the decision involves consequen-ces ot immense momeut. Let us leave out ofthe consideration all that relates to commer-cial credit, the violation of faith, the tempta-tion lurnished for the crime ot national rep .ill-ation, the general bankruptcy and financialrum that, nooner or later, must overtake a peo-ple which bids adieu to a aouud financial ba-sis, and content ourselves with a glance at theeffect which a continued issue of governmentpaper, to be used as money, must have uponour political system. Setting asiJe the evi-dent violation ol tho Constitution which suchan issue implies, and also the tact that states-men only resoitert to it umler the imperativenecessities of war, this clothing the govern-ment with the power to make money by merelyplacing a stamp upon paper, is fraught with aperil whose magnitude is scarcely within thereach of hitman calculation.

" An essential security to free governmenthas been sought iu the provision by which thepower to impose taxes and to raise money hasbeen restricted to the hnme<liate representa-tives of the people. It was the transgressionof this principle which sent Charles the Firstto the scaffold. British precedents comhinawith American ionstitutional law to put aguard around that great bulwark of nationalsafety and popular freedom. But of whatavail are all these efforts of persistent cure andanxious watchfulness, if the governmant, un-der the thousand quibbling pretexts which mayalways be summoned at will may use its powerto create obligations from blank paper, and toforce from the people a loan by discretionary'issues of currency ? In opening the way tor

I tho assumption ot this privilege, fellow-citi-ens, you not only give to the executive theoutrol of the public purse, but you conferpou him the power to fill it with promises for

fulfillment of which the nation itself islortgaged. Should some future Presidentim at a permanent giaBp upon the supremeower, he could use your promises to pay us aleans to raise and support his legionaries forle overthrow of your liberties,"^or is such an event wholly chimerical. We

ave only to imagine a condition such as repu-iatiou and baukruptcy must inevitably pro-uce, an utter prostration ot our industries, aeneral arrest of productive enorjjy in all partsf tbo laud, the discharge of laborers from aliteady employment, and, addod to this, theeculiar disposition to dependence shown byertain classes of our population, both northnd south, in order to realize that the clamoror bread may co-operate with executive ambi-ion, and both together, by the agency ot a de-raved but convenient financial system, mayrreck all the fair and ioud hopes which menave cherished in regard to the luture destiny

" THE greenback ' vote was prettyheavy in the central and northern partsof the State drawing mostly from theDemocrats." So says an Ohio electionnews item. And this after the OhioDemocracy baited their hook withgreenbacks in order to win votes. Ver-ily Senator Thurman has reaped hisreward for turning his back upon bislong and honorable record in favor o:honest money and against greenbackinflation.

I F THE CIPHER dispatches publishedby the New York Tribune are genuinedispatches and correctly translated, thoattempt made by Samuel J. Tilden andhis agents to bribe or buy one of theFlorida Board of Canvassers was damn-able, and the Democracy who honestlywaged the campaign of 1868 on thebasis of " Reform " have reason for con-gratulation that it did not succeed, IIthey are not genuine, or are not correctly rendered into good English, thesooner Tilden and Marble and Peltonand Havemeyer and Woolley, and alothers implicated, make a positivedenial and show them to bo forgeriesthe better for them, the party, and thecountry. It will not do to say that thvote of Florida honestly belonged tTilden, or that local returns fraudeutlygave precincts and counties to HayesOne fraud does not warrant anotherWere those dispatchos sent to and fromGramorcy Park with the knowledgand by the authority of Samuel JTilden ? That's the question.

nd a wise people should be Warned in timeo resist any and every policy which should

make it even remotely possible."If ever our nation shall be called upon to

Have financial principles changedince July 4, 1875 ? have new powers>een given to tiio Ouvuiuuiont olncc:hat date? or will new issues of "papero be used as money " be in the future)

any less an " evident violation of the^institution " than at the date of Mr.

Willard's quoted word", words pregnantwith truth and wisdom '<

THE Adrian Times, Eepublican, basests predictions of the reolection of Mr.

Willits iu this Congressional District onhe assumption that the National-

Greenbackers have demoralized the De-mocracy. It alleges that in Hillsdale

ounty, and in somo parts of Lenaweeounty, " the Democratic organization

has been virtually swallowed up by theNationals." Of the condition in theother two counties in the district theTimes says :

From WaBhtenaw and Monroe counties thenews is cheering. Our opponents art* dividedand distracted The Democrats are dazed andhopeless, the Nationals noisy, but the acces-sions to their ranks are mostly from the De-mocracy, and the best informed Republicansn both counties predict and confidently ex-

pect a plurality ill favor of the Republican:ieket3."

That ,is it. The Itepublican-Green-buckers are to be trolled back into theparty after having acted as stool pigeonsto trap unwary Djmocrats, while theirDemocratic associates are expected tostand firm by the new party and givuthe Republicans an easy victory. Howdo the Democratic-Green backers relishtho work they are expected to do ? Avote for Thomas is evidently a vote forWillits.

The Ann Arbor AKOUS publishes long Re-publican speeches, now, tor its readers delecta-tion. The AEOUS IS doing good work for theRepublicans, and they should encourage it."—Adrian Press.

A sound financial speech in the col-umns of the Press, even though madeby a Republican, would be a God-sendto its readers. The hash it serves upon what is really the leading issue of thecampaign is of such a hotch-potchnature as to be indigestible and sur-feiting : neither honest money, green-back, nor anything else two days orweeks in succession. Our cotemporaryhas enough to look after around homoand need n't worry himself about thecontents or policy of the ARGUS

THE Democrats of the First Repre-sentative District of this county haveagain nominated John 8. Hendoruon, ofPittsfield. Mr. Henderson made a goodrun last year, and at the coming electionought to be able to come in winner.He will if he gets the full Deraocratiovote.

MAXTON MAUBLE has not let " grassgrow under his feet," but makes an ex-plicit and positive denial of all knowl-edge of or responsibility for thosi" cipher dispatches," or of any attemptsat bribery or corruption. Good forMarble.

POLITICAL CLIPPINGS.The thorough exposure of the politi-

cal weakness of the so-called Ohio idea,will, we have no doubt, prove a blessingu disguise for the Democratic party as

well as for the country. Whatever ex-jerimonts may bo tried by other politi-al organizations, the Democracy oan-

not abandon its time honored principlesas tho party of the Constitution, of hardnoney and sound financial principles,without exposing itself to demoraliza-tion and defeat. Unable to prevail in;ho State which WBS regarded as itsstronghold, the Greenback delusion hasnot the slightest chance to become theever by which any party—and least of

all tho Democratic party—can hope tolevato itself into power in tho nation.—linif'ido Courier.

It is necessary for the Democrats toearn that they can gam nothing by

swerving from their sound aud time-lonored principles, especially with re-gard to tbo financial question. Foolsmay be caught by glittering generali-ses about so-called " fiat money," butevery sensible roan turns with disgustTom all soft-money blatherskites.—Cincinnati I'olkefreund.

I t cost Thompson H. Murch, theGreenback Congressman elect from thefifth Maine District $700 to get elected,[t would be interesting to know howmuch it cost Eugene Hale to get defeat-ed.—New Haven Union.

We believe that every Democrat thatfails to vote the ticket this fall is con-tributing to the perpetuation of Re-publicanism. We have given the lnat-:er much thought, and we fail to seewhat any Democrat can expect to gainay going into the Greenback movement.Nor can we understand why any Demo-crat should play into the hands of theRepublicans by voting a ticket basedupon a single issue and ignoring everyjreat principle for which we have con-;e8ted for so many years.—Flint Journal.

Two States have been lost in Con-gress and a third has been barely saved,and still we hear of rejoicing ! Insteadof the thirty votes which the Republi-cans have in this House, from the threeStates in question, they will have;wenty-one in the next. Does thisprove that the danger is past? Or,taking the new House, as far as elected,the party—s minority in the presentHouse—is deprived of twelve members.[ it safe on this showing to boast andshout as though great triumphs hadbeen achieved 'i The truth is, thst theCongressional outlook is gloomy.—NewYork 1'imes.

A tinsmith on Canal street has in-vented a " tint." stove. It will be an ex-cellent thing for poor people during thewinter.

He says heshall get the stamp of the Government,through the Patent Office, and then anact of Congress making it a legal tenderspecific for all uses where heat is re-quired " There's millions iu it."—Grand Rapids Eagle.

The bold assertion that Mechanics'Hall at Worcester was not broken into,did n't deceive many people, but theyeven will be convinced when they knowthat Butler not only paid the rent of thehall, but $25, demanded by tho ownersto repair the damage done by breakingin, was paid over by his manager.—Boston Herald.

Every Democrat who votes the Green-back ticket tbis fall throws his voteaway, without the least possible hope ofelecting a man. The only way the Re-publicans can secure a victory this fallis for a good many Democrats to votethe g. b. ticket. The Eepublican (ireen-backers will not vote it, though they mayclaim they will.—[ngham County Demo-crat.

The best advice we can give Demo-crats in this triangular, we might sayquadrilateral, campaign, is to keepstraight to the Democratio ticket, turn-ing neither to the right nor left. TheDemocrats have a sound platform, anda good ticket, both State and local (cer-tainly so far as this section is concerned),and there is no occasion to go wander-ing off after strange gods.— Cwosso Press-

Senator David Davis has n't been ablethis year to determine which indepen-dent side of politics he is the most on,and he therefore declines to make anyppeeches. A man who is likely to be-long to all parties at the same momentcan 't act with too much discretion aboutthis time.

The name of Geu. Grant as the Re-publican candidate for the Presidencyin 18S0 had much to do with givingvictory to the Republicans in Ohio.Nearly all the leading Republican ora-tors favored Gen.

Judge Huntingdon—The October Term.The following letter from Judge Hunting-

ton to County Clerk Tuite will explain itself:

"MASON, Oct. 9, 1878."Dear Sir :

"I am in receipt of a petition signed byabout a dozen members ot the Bar, askingthat the next term in your county may bepostponed to Dec. 17, or altogether abandoned.I am sorry to say It is impossible to adjournto the time proposed, or indeed to any time,on account of the amount of work to do inJackson and here. Nor can I feel justified indispensing with the term altogether.

The beat I can say is, I shall be pleased tofind the Bar inclined to let cases go over byconsent, especially if we do not have a cou-veuient place for holding court. Anything Ican properly do to promote the convenience ofattorneys and parties I shall be glad to do.But I fear attorneys not parties to the petitionmay have cases important to be tried, andthat injustice would bs done to the partiesthey represent by dispensing with the termaltogether. I shall be pleased if the term canbe a short one.

Please read this letter to the members ofthe Bar as you see them, or in some way letthem know about it.

„ Very truly yours,GEO, M. HUNTINOTON.

The Judge might have also referred to thenumber of prisoners in jail and waiting trial.They have a right to au early trial, and it isthe interest of the county that such right berespected, and that no unnecessary delay bepermitted.

That Saline "Suicide."A correspondent sends us the following rela-

tive to the reported suicide of William Kerr,at Saline ;

"On the morning of Thursday, Oct. 10, thepeople of Saline were shocked to learn of thountimely death of their fellow-townsman,William Kerr. The readers of the Detroitevening papers were made acquainted withthe event as a suicide. The coroners inquestalso held the same opinion. But further ac-quaintance with the facts has led many to be-lieve it accidental. Being of this latter opinionafter giving the i ase careful investigation, Ihave been requested by those like minded, tojiive a plain statement to the county papers ofthe circumstances connected with this event.

The inference of suicide on finding a mandead with no indication of murder is verynatural, but we think all who knew the un-fortunate young man will be glad to do himjustice in believing his death accidental, iffacts favor this conclusion. When the bodywas discovered the outside door of the saleroom was shut but unlocked,—the safe wasnot only unlocked but open,—the lamp wasburning and standing on the desk just whereit would throw most light into the safe. Thebody of the young man was in the work shop,which was separated from the sale room by aloard partition and the door between therooms shut itself with a stiff spring. Thebody was just inside the work shop, aud justas near the door as it waB possible for it to beand the door closed. The floor of the shop isof hard wood, worn smooth aud uneven. Whenfound the head rested on a wateriug can, whichwas so badly indented that it showed the fallhad been from a standing position. The over-coat and hat were on, and a partly smokedcigar liy the left hand, while in the right wasa pistol he had obtained to shoot rats that kepthtm awake nights.

From these facts we deduct this theory othis death: Desiring to deposit the $30.00which were found undisturbed in his pocket,he lit the lamp placing it where it wouli shineinto the open safe. Before depositing themoney or taking off hat or overcoat, he was at-tracted by sounds of rats in the back room. Hewalked on tip-toe with cigar in the left, audcocked revolver in the right hand, to the backroom where the moon gave light to shoot.

Pushing against the door pried the springback, he stepped softly on the uneven floornot to alarm the rats, aud losing his balance hethrew up his right arm and the door slammingto, struck his arm forcing the pistol near hishead and exploding it at the same time ; sothe fearful accident culminated.

The writer of this article, in company withthree others, visited the place of his death,and, although some of the party had previous-ly believed the case was suicide, they all de-cided it must have been an accident.

The young man was of good family; hishabits, character, and disposition were unex-ceptionable. He was full of life, health, andhope. He had been collecting for his em-ployer for several days, and had settled withhim at night. The evening before this fatalevent he attended a lecture and was last Beenin good spirits. He was tenderly beloved byhis family, and most kindly esteemed by allwho knew him. So his character and circum-stances make suicide improbable, especially ashe had been habitually careless in the use offii earms. None of the usual reasons for suicideexisted in any degree, aud the inconvenientplace he fell showed none of the forethoughtwhich usually characterizes a suicide. Thisalmost seems conclusive in itself so long as hehad a comfortable bed just in the room above.

His death has caused much sadness iu thiscommunity, and it is but justice to him andhis many friends that all believe as the factsstrongly iudicato that the unfortunate eventwas accidental.

CHELSEA CHIPS.— Mrs. Margaret McNamara, an old lady

about 65 years of age, was instantly killed atthis place last Monday by the express traingoing west. She was going along the maintrack to get around a freight train on the eidetrack, and between the noise of the freightengine and the brisk breeze from the west shedid not hear the fast train coming up behindher. It threw her about thirty feet, manglingthe body fearfully. The train was running atabout thirty miles an hour, which should notbe allowed through a village.

R A N D O M NOTES.— A letter from the State editor of tin

Evening News answers our question propound-ed in the last AHOUS, " Is this the same gentle-man," ifec, by saying that the quoted itemfrom the News " refers to no Ann Arbor man,nor to no man who is now iu the newspaperbusiness or who was ever engaged in it in anycapacity." So far so good, but this denial,coupled by a decimation to give th© nnine olthe " gentleman " (not asked for by us), doesnot relieve the individual wu mistakenly sup-posed to be the "man " from what constitutedthe gist of our item: the statement of themethod he pursues to get subscribers. Wehave direct and positive knowledge that thecharge made in our interrogative sentence istrue.

— There is evidently a little " onpleusflut-ness" existing between tho physicians andcoroners of Detroit, else the Lansing Republi-can would n't have occasion to report Dr.Lyster as assuriug the State Board of Healththat " the coroners frequently steal all thepersonal assets of the dead man, not evenleaving enough to pay the physician who hasiu some cases worked hard to save his life."Such coroners should be abated.

— The StateJBoard of Health has issued apamphlet giving explicit nnd quite full direc-tions for the " restriction and prevention ofdiphtheria." They assert that " diphtheria is acontagious disease," aud the rules laid down toprevent its contraction and spread are impor-tant both to the medical profession aud lay-men. Yet we are confident that they are ob-served in very few cases.

— The New York Sun evidently holds tothe opinion that there is a great crop of Spirit-ualists in this country. It says: "If the prin-ciple were to be established that no man whobelieves in spiritualism is capable of making awill the Surrogates and Probate Judges wouldhave their hands full."

RED RIBBONS.— In discussing the temperance question in

he recent Presbyterian Synod at Adrian, andspecially the workings of the Reform or Redlibbon Clubs, the Rev. Dr. Brown, of thisty, is reported as saying "that all tho ruinis-rs in that [MB] city wore the red ribbon, took

men in some way obtained control of the or-amzation and he confessed that the Red Rib-on movement was antagonistic to the ad-ancement of religion. The evening meetingsetracted largely from the attendance on thenirch, aud they were in themselves meet-

ngs not of a religious nature."Under the auspices of the Reform Club

DR. PETERMANN'S SUICIDE.

Why tin1 Eminent German Geographer TookHis Own Life.

[Berlin Cor. Sew York Herald.]The sad circumstances surrounding

thc death of him who is widely admittedto have been the foremost geographer ofhis age, Dr. August Heinrich Peter-niaiui. conic tardily to light. His suddendeath, announced to have occurred onthe 27th nit, was stated to have beenthe result of an apoplectic stroke, but itwas not suspected that a tragedy lurkedbehind the announcement that startledthe quiet town of Gotha.

Dr. Petermann had for sometime suf-fered from repeated attacks of bron-chitis. He coughed almost continu-ously, and complained of constant pain.His nervous irritation increased, and,added to the physical suffering, was amental excitement of a domestic naturewhich rendered him almost frantic attimes. He complained of a headacheso acute that the least touch upon theforehead produced violent pain. Hewas but 56 years old, and it was hopedthat his strong constitution would pullhim through. On the morning of the25th alt., after a restless night, Dr. Peter-inann, who had been tenderly watchedover by his wife and daughters, exhib-ited an agitation which they alarminglynoted, but never for a moment attributedto its true cause. He begged them toretire from the room.

THE town of Mount Vernon, Poseycounty, Iud., has been thrown into a wild stateof excitement by a series of tho most disgust-ing crimes and tragic revenges which everstartled tho people of a civilized com-munity. Eight negroes went to a house of ill-fame near tho outskirts of tho townand perpetrated the most beastly outrages uponthree women inmates, winding up by robbingthem of what littlo money they possessed.Warrants were sworn out for" the arrest of thenegroes, and Deputy Sheriff Thomas, with aposse, in attempting to effect tho arrest of DanHarris, one of the participators, was shot deadby Harris' father, an old negro of 60. Harris andthree other negroes were finally captured andlodged in jaiL The news of the killing spreadlike wildfire through the community, and bynightfall a mob of &X) armed men had been or-ganized. A raid was made on tho jail, the fournegroes forcibly taken therefrom and hangedto the limb of a tree in the jail yard. A fifthwas stabbed to death and his body carved insmall pieces by the infuriated lynchers. Themob then quietly dispersed.

THE Collector of Internal Revenue atLittle Rock has discovered four illicit distilleriesin that State, but so well fortified that he is un-able to seize them. They aro surrounded withrifle-pits, and the employes armed with death-dealing rifles. He has telegraphed to Washing-ton for reinforcements.

Thc Mexican Border.A recent telegram from Kan Antonio,

Texas, says: "The transfer of 12,000Mexican troops to the Ilio Grandeborder is certain. Gen. Ord thinksthe move one of policy on thepart of Diaz to strengthen himself in theestimation of the Mexican people, asTrevino, the chief commander of theMexican forces on the Rio Grande bor-der, aspires to the Presidency. Ornellas,the Mexican Consul here, says the objectis to settle Indian affairs in NorthernMexico. He states that internal mat-ters are being quieted, and that there isno other office for the troops. All ac-counts, however, show general turbu-lence throughout the country, which in-duces the belief that Gen. Ord Is cor-rect, and that Ornellas only talks to mis-lead conclusions as to the object ofsending these forces to their presentdestination, as the Mexican troops atpresent along the Rio Grande are notproperly fed, and have to be guarded toprevent their desertion. People heroand the military think some conse-quences will ensue when the largerforce arrives, and anticipate greattrouble. The few hundred Mexicansoldiers at Saragossa, Newton, and otherplaces, are furnished beef half fromTexas, and it is also thought this greatly-increased force will depend upon thesame source for its meat."

had died by their own hands, and theirfate apparently haunted him. With(his knowledge of his life, it may boguessed upon what a load of mental andbodily torture his wife and daughtersclosed the door as they went forth athis urgent request.

They did not remain absent long—scarcely fifteen minutes—but on theirreturn thev met a sight which petrifiedthem with terror. The husband andlather was hanging limp and lifelessfrom the window. Assistance was hasti-ly summoned ; the body was cut down;restoratives were tried, but in vain. Howas dead, and crumpled in one of hishands with the clutch of death was apaper. It was a letter addressed to hisyoungest daughter, and contained hiswill. It bore the date of Sept. 6, show-ing that he had harbored the fatal in-tention for nineteen days.

An easily-understood motive led to astrong effort on the part of the familyand friends to keep the cause of thedeath secret, but enough leaked out tolead to the unveiling of the entire dis-tressing tragedy. Thus it was that Dr.Petermann, in the ripeness of his schnl-arship, at the age of 56, fell, owing toreaction from excessive work and con-jugal torments he was unable to with-stand, an easy pvey to the hereditaryself-destroying mania; the man whosevast mind had grasped and solved themost difficult geographical questions inboth hemispheres succumbed to privateinfelicities that the world took no ac-count of.

Whimsicalities of Insanity.A literary gentleman of some celeb-

rity, who, in consequence of a slight af-fection of the brain, was for severalmonths the inmate of an insane asylumin Scotland, has recently published his" impressions" of life therein. He Kaysthat one of the most singular of his fol-low sufferers was a gentleman who wasa very beautiful billiard-player, an oldinmate of tho house; and quite a psy-chological study. He seemed like aman in a waking dream, and historicalevents and personages, from the dream-land of his memory, were perpetuallymirrored on his brain. He compli-mented the writer by supposing him4,000 years old, and considered theevents and persons of the present gen-eration unworthy of notice. The fol-lowing is a specimen of his extraor-dinary reminiscences: " Oh, yes, Mr.

, I knew very well. There weretwo Noahs whom I knew, but old Mr.Noah lived some thousand years beforethe Noah you refer to, who built theark. I had a good deal to do with theconstruction of the ark, and furnishedsome very useful hints in regard to theadmission of air and light and so forth.He was a very respectable man, Noah,with a decent family,but, unfortunately,he got into very dissipated habits in hisold age, and, in spite of all I could say(a him, he indulged in wine to a veryhurtful excess. Julius Ciesar was a veryolever man, with a bald forehead; but Iwas more intimate with Alexander theGreat, of Macedonia, as I was long intho military profession myself. I onotime commanded three battalions ofmen about three-quarters of an inchtall. No; they were not Lilliputians. Iknew Capt. Gulliver very well.

I'll tell you, Mr. , the mostextraordinary thing you ever heard,which beats railroads. I was oncetransported from the farthest shores ofIndia to the center of Africa in threeminutes! By what means?" he re-peated, in reply to a question respectinghis method of transit—"By a bomb!"In reply tn niv remark on the danger ofbeing wafted so rapidly over vastoceans, he continued : " Yes, it was at-tended with considerable danger. Ionce came down souse into the ocean;but fortunately I hailed a vessel, whichcame to my relief, and I pursued myjourney to the wilds of Africa with theloss of only two minutes." Sometimes,however, the poor gentleman wouldseem doubtful of his own veracity, oi1the strength of his memory, and re-mark : " My memory is not so good asit was, and my health, for the last 100years, has rather failed me, whichmakes my head a little confused." Andthus he move's about in his wakingdream, wearing out his existence be-tween his pipe and at a game of bill-iards, diversified, occasionally, by ashort excursion in the neighborhood, inchargo of an attendant.

An Historical Parallel.

Believers in tho "cheap" or "fiatmoney" schemes of Ben Butler, BrickPomeroy & Co. will find the followingchapter from that reliable history ofNew York, by "Diedrieh Knickerbocker,"most excellent and refreshing reading:

"Next to his projects for the suppres-sion of poverty may be classed those ofWilliam the Testy for increasing thewealth of New Amsterdam. Solomon,of whose character for wisdom tho littleGovernor was somewhat emulous, hadmade gold and silver as plenty as thestones in tho streets of Jerusalem.

"William Kieft could not protend tovie with him as to the precious metals,but he determined, as an equivalent,to flood the streets of New Amsterdamwith Indian money. This was nothingmore nor less than strings of beadswrought out of clams, periwinkles andother shell-fish, and called sea-want or wampum. These had formeda native currency among tho simplesavages, who were content to takethem of the Dutchmen in exchangefor peltries. In an unlucky momentWilliam the Testy, seeing this moneyof easy production, conceived theproject of making it the current coin ofthe province. It is true it had an in-trinsic value among the Indians, whoused it to ornament their robes andmoccasins, but among tho honestburghers it had no more intrinsic valuethan those rags which form the papercurrency of modern days. This con-sideration, however, had no weight witl:William Kieft. He began by paying allthe servants of the comp;tny, and alldebts of government, in strings of wam-pum. He sent emissaries to sweep thoshore of Long island, which was theOphir of this modern Solomon, andabounded in shell fish. These weretransported in loads to New Amster-dam, coined into Indian money, andlaunched into circulation. And now,for a time, affairs went on swimminglymoney became as plentiful as in themodern days of paper currency, andto use the popular phrase, ' i:wonderful impulse waa given topublic prosperity.' Yankee traderspoured into the province, buyingeverything they could lay theirhands on, and paying the- worthyDutchmen their own price in Indianmoney. Tf the latter, IKiwevor, attempt-ed U) pay the Yankees in the same coinfor their tinware and wooden bowls, theeaso was altered; nothing would do butDutch guilders and suchlike 'metalliccurrency.' What was worse, the Yan-kees introduced an inferior kind ofwampum made of oyster shells, withWhich they deluged the province, carry-ing off in exchange, all the silver andgold, the Dutch herrings, and Dutclcheeses; thus early did thc knowing meiof the East manifest their skill in liar-gaining the New Amsterdamers out o!the oyster, and leaving them the shellIt was a long time before William thcTesty was made sensible how completelyhis grand project of finance was tnrnocagainst him by his Eastern neighborsnor would he probably have ever foundit out, had not tidings been brough;him that the Yankees had made a descent upon Long island, and had es-tablished a kind of mint at Oyster bay.where they were coining up all theoyster banks. Now this wa.s making nvital attack upon thc province in ;double sense, financial and gastronomical. Ever since the Council dinner ofOloffe, tlie dreamer, at tho founding oNew Amsterdam, at which banquet thcoyster figured so conspicuously, this di-vine shell-fish has been held in a kinciof superstitious reverence at the Manhattoes; as witness the temples erectec"to it in every street and lane an<alley. In fact, it is the standard luxuryof the place, as is the terrai)in at Phila-delphia, tho soft crab at Baltimore, orthe canvas-back at Washington. Theseizure of Oyster bay, therefore, was anoutrage not merely on the pockets, buithe larders, of the New Amsterdamersthe whole community was aroused, andan oyster crusade was immediately seton foot against the Yankees. Everystout trencherman hastened to thestandard; nay, some of tho corpulent,burgomasters and schopons joined theexpedition RK a corps de reserve, only tobe called into action when the sackingcommenced.

"The conduct of the expedition wasintrusted to a valiant Dutchman, whofor size and weight might have matchedwith Oolbrand, the Danish champion,slain by Guy of Warwick. He was fa-mous throughout the 23rovince forstrength of arm and skill at quarter-stafl', and hence was named Stoffel Brink-erhoff, or, rather, Brinkerhoofd; that isto say, Stoffel the Head-breaker. Thissturdy commander, who was a man offew words but vigorous deeds, led histroops resolutely on through Nineveh,and Babylon, and Jericho, and Patch-hog, and other Long island towns, with-out encountering any difficulty of notethough it is said that some of tho burgo-masters gave out at Hardscramblo hilland Hungry hollow, and that others lostheart and turned back at Puss-panick.With the rest he made good his marchuntil ho arrived in the neighborhood ofOyster bay. Here he was encounteredby a host of Yankee warriors headed byPreserved Fish, and Habakkuk Nutter,and Return Strong, and TerrubbabelFisk, and Determined Cock at thesound of whose names Stoffel 1'rinker-hoff verily believed tho wholo Parlia-ment of Praise God Barebones had beenlet loose upon him. He soon found, how-ever, that they were merely the ' se-lectment' of the settlement, armed withno weapon but the tongue, and disposedonly to meet him on the field of argu-ment. Stoflol had but one mode of ar-guing; that was with tho cudgel; buthe used it with such effect that lienmted his antagonists, broke up thcsettlement, and would have driven theinhabitants into the sea if they had notmanaged to escape across the sound totho mainland by tho Devil's stepping-stones, which remain to this day monu-ments of this great Dutch victory overthe Yaukeos.

''Stoffel Brinkerhoff made groat spoilof oysters and clams, coined and im-coined, and then set out on his returntn the Manliattoes. A grand triuruph,after tho manner of the ancients, wasprepared for him by William tho Testy.He entered Now Amsterdam (is a oon.-queror, mounted upon a Narragansetpacer. Fire-died codfish on poles,standards taken from the enemy, wereborn before him, and an immensestore of oysters and clams. Weathers-field onions and Yankee notionsformed the spolia optima; while severalcoiners of oyster-shells wero led cap-tive to grace the hero's triumph. Theprocession was accompanied by a fullband of boys and negroes performingon the popular instruments of rattle-bones and clam-shells, while. AntonyVan Corlear sounded his trumpet fromthe ramparts. A groat banquet wasserved up in the stadthouse from theclams and oysters taken from the ene-my ; while the Governor sent the shellsprivately to tho mint and had themcoined into Indian money, with whichhe paid his troops. It is moreoversaid that the Governor, calling to mindthe practice among the ancients tohonor their victorious General with

public statues, passed a magnanimousdecree, by which every tavern-keeperwas permitted to paint the head ofStoffel Brinkerhoff upon his sign."

Col. ISob Ingersoll 1 :\|>os«-s tin- Fallacies ofi in- Fiat Agitation in a CharacteristicSp«ecli.

Col. llobort G. Ingersoll, in a recentaddress before the County Fair Associ-ation, at Malono, N. Yr., spoke as followsipon the financial iasue:

"I say here to-day that every farmerought to know that ho can't make some-thing out of nothing. The UnitedStates Government can't make money.It can make what it calls money. Ithas not the power to make it; it hasthe power to make you take it. In oth-er words, it has the power to make everycreditor take it, and nobody else. Ifyou go to buy a bushel of wheat, andyou have got' fiat' money, tho man cansay, ' I will take SI in gold for thatwheat, but I want $5 if you pay in ' fiat'money.' How aro you going to preventhim ? The money you have got is goodsimply because it 2>romises to pay. Nowit is proposed to have money that wewill promise not to pay. If nonsensecan go beyond that, I cannot conceivethe route or path that it will take.Then, if Congress says you must takeit, Congress must fix the price of every-thing. It must fix tho price of wheat;it must fix the price of making a speechin a lawsuit; it must fix the price of ev-ery article, or else it cannot make itsmoney good.

" But some gentlemen say that Con-gress has the power to make money, andI want to ask them ono question; 1 wantyou to think about it: If this Govern-ment has the power to make money,why should it collect taxes from us?If this Government can make a dollaror a thousand dollar bill just that quick[slapping his hands together |, whyshould they make us labor day andnight, and make us pay taxes to sup-port them? If the Government canmake money, let them make it and letus alone. But, instead of that, thi:great Government comes up here intothis country with the bayonet and com-pels yon to pay taxes. It is like theocean trotting around to borrow a littlesalt water, or like the sun trying to getthe loan of a candle from some poordevil that has worked weeks to makethat candle. So I say to them, if theycan do it, let them do it.

"Very well, if the Government canmake money, how much can it make?How will 1 get my share? How muchis it going to issue? Some say, 'Enonglto produce prosperity.' But how muclthey can't tell. Some say they arcgoing to pay up the bonds and bringmoney in that way into circulation, an<then business will be prosperous. ButI say business will be prosperous whei:the country is prosperous. But if yovget too much paper and it goes downwho loses it ? Tho man who lias earnctit and happens to have it in his posses-sion—that is the man who loses it. Youneed not be afraid but what the smartjjeople—the peoplo on Wall street—wiltake care of themselves. They requiretheir toll from every man that goes bythttirway. But the farmer—the laboring man that has worked, and has beengiven some of that money—he loses hislabor unless that money is worth asmuch as it was the day he received itBut, they say, there is not moneyenough. I say there is plenty—plentyI wish I could get it. We don't teakmoney. The banks have got plenty ofmoney; a certain portion of the peoplehave money. We are lacking collaterals—that is what we are lacking. You carget all you want on call in New York at1 i and 2 per cent.; and do you knowwhy you don't go and get it? Becauseyou haven't got thc collaterals; and, ifwo aro going to pass a law on this subject, I would like to have Congress passa law furnishing us collaterals. But itwill not do; there is no foundation toit. When that money gets out it has allgot to be paid.

"Call it 'fiat' money—call it what youplease; the reason that a gold dollar isworth a dollar is because you can buythe results of tho same amount of laborthat it took to dig that gold dollar andto mint it, including all the fellows thathunted and didn't find it. If you takea piece of paper and say that it repre-sents $5 or $10—it only represents itbecause there is a promise to pay thatmoney—it is only good when you be-lieve that the man or Government thatmade tho promise is good, and you can'tgo beyond it. Suppose you could blotfrom your mind that there was such athing as gold and Silver—what is a dol-lar, just leaving gold and silver entirelyout? You have got a 'fiat' bill thatsays it is $10, and is valuable because itnever will be redeemed. Gold andsilver is valuable of itself. When I takea $10 gold piece and go to England, Ihave to sell it the same as I would abushel of corn, and all that spread-eaglenonsense doesn't add one solitary farth-ing to its value. And when a sovereigncomes here from England, we don't careanything about the beautiful picture ofQueen Victoria, or any other girl. It isworth so much and no more. But theysay that it is the stamp of tho Govern-ment that makes it valuable. Why notstamp them tons, thousands, or millionstand let tis all be millionaires? It won',do! We will never get prosperity inthat way. Slowly, steadily, and surelyour money has advanced, slowly, steadilyand surely tho world has had more; andmore confidence in the industry, th»honesty, and the integrity of the Amer-ican people, and to that extent ourmoney lias advanced until it has finallyclasped hands upon an equality with thoprecious metals. We aro just inside ofport. We came in tempest-tossed, everysail torn and rent, and ovcry mast bythe side; and these wreckers stand onthe shore and say if you wantprosperity put out to sea once more.We don't want to—we want honestmethods. No man lives in a countrywhose money is under par, that he doesnot feel a little under himself. I nevertook out a bill that was at 2 or 3 percent, discount that I did not feel a littlethat way, too. This great and splendidrepublic, witli tho most intelligent andthe best people in the world—and I saythe most honest—I want its promise tobe as good in every part of the world asthe promise of any other nation. II want the greenback to be preserved;want to have gold and silver behind it;1 want it so that if I should go into thefurthest isle of the Pacific and shouldtake out a greenback a savage wouldlook at it and his eyes would glitter asif he looked at gold. Then you feellike you are somebody; like you had agreat and splendid nation, and eventhat old flag would look better if everypromise of the United States had beenredeemed. And you never know howmuch you feel like that until you go to aforeign country. When I was there afew days ago, I just happened to seethat old flag; it looked to me as if theair had just blossomed out. I want tofeel that way all my life. I want to foolthat man is capable of governing him-self, and that a republican Governmentis the very acme and height of nationalhonor."

THK REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Why It Should Not bo Trusted—Its Manifold

Crimes Succinctly State<l.

William B. Moran, Chairman of theDemocratic State Committee of Michi-gan, recently addressed a note to Hon.William L. Webber, of East Saginaw,requesting his views on the politicalsituation. The latter responded in anable letter of great length, from whichwo make the following extract:

I do not believe our country can over prosper•xeent Nvlien the Government shall bo adminis-tered in accordance with Democratic principles.Xo party discarding tlieso principles CRII longprosper. The seeming exception of the successof the Republican party for eighteen yearsgrows out of the peculiar circumstances of thosituation; but the incapacity of that party tocorrectly administer the Government in times ofpeace is most clearly demonstrated by tho pres-ent condition of affairs.

With such a platform, and with such a glori-ous record as tne Democracy has made for itselfin administering the affairs of tho nation inlimes past, it is not surprising that Democratscling to it as tho sheet anchor of the nation'ssafety. No Democrat can forsake it; it cannotbe killed, because truth is immortal and Dem-ocracy is founded upon thc rock of truth.

The Republican partv was founded ujx>n asentiment, not a principle. It was formed as asectional party and has ever existed as such. Itcan never become a national party, because itsobjects and ita'aims are not in accordance withthe principles upon which the Governmont wasfounded. They are revolutionary in their ten-dency.

Thoro are bad men in all parties, but thomass of all parties are equally hnnoMt andequally desirous that such policies should suc-ceed as will best promote the good of all. Aparty in not to be held responsible for tho actsof a bad man simply because he has alliedhimself with the party. A thief is no less athief whether he callfl himself a Republican, aDemocrat, or a National. Ho is an enemy tosociety.

It is only when a party screons the wrong-doer, by reason of his partisan associations, orwhen it continues him m power, or rewards himafter his iniquity is known.

If this is done, then the party is to bo heldresponsible.

Mistakes may be made by men of all parties,but as noon as a mistake is discovered it shouldbe admitted as a mistake and Ix; discarded bythe party. If the party approve it and persistin it, then the party becomes responsible. Thesopropositions are 'believed to be sound, andtried by this test the Republican party must beheld responsible for a series of crimes againstour form of government, and against tho peo-ple, which can only be expiated by its total ex-tinction.

We arc making history, and for tho sake notonly of ourselves, but of those who may comeafter us, the people should crush tho Republi-can party, that its practices may not becomeprecedents.

With Hie extinction of slavery the originalmission of the Itepublican party was ended.

It WHS organized to tear down; it has no skillto build up. But it was in power in the nation,and in most of the States, and it asked only howthat power could be best retained.

It never learned that the strength of a nationconsists in the affection of its parts.

Love of country as a cement to bind nmnyinto one wa« foreign to its thoughts. Forcewa.s the only means considered.

It sought"to make secession a success by dc-claring the Union already broken and that therebellion of citizens had produced that effect

Defeated in thin by the Supreme Court, underthe pretense of protecting the negro in IUHrights but really to keep itself in power, it gavehim the ballot, and then in dehanco of lawthese colored citizens (equal in the eyo of thelaw with the wisest and best) were taken underguardianship without their consent and it as-sumed that they would unitedly give it theirvotes. Whon these newiy-eiiiranchised citizenssought to vote ay tliey pleased, by forco andagainst the law, elections were declared voidand the officers elected wero refused permis-sion to tako their offices, and this in direct vio-lation of the constitution.

It assumed in Congress to pass laws on sub-jects not within the power of Congress, andthus sought to effect a revolution in govern-ment

This party arrogated to itself a power abovethe constitution. Under the tyrant's plea of"necessity," a higher law was proclaimed, andthis party constituted itself the exponent of thatlaw. All who opposed the doctrine of the higherlaw were villilied and persecuted. To refuBOObedience to the flat of tho party, no matterwhat had been the service or sufferings in thecauso of the Union, was to incur the severestpunishment tho party could bestow, and thiswithout regard to any law known to the courts.So long as the flat of the party was obeyed, nomatter how much the law was violated, the of-fender was screened. Witness, for examplo, thefiendish attempt to impeach President Johnsonfor striving to enforce the provisions of the con-stitution, and tho shameful spectaclo of thoPresident of the United States volunteering hisevidence, and thereby his influence, to save Bab-cock from merited "punishment. Witness thecontribution from tho present Chairman of theMichigan Republican Committee of a thousanddollars to aid Babcock to escape.

To enumerate the crimes of the Republicanparty against the people would require a vol-ume" This volume will be written, but that isthe work of the historian. I can give but fewitems.

At the expense, not only of every principle ofcivil liberty, but of vast sums of money drawnfrom the taxpayers, it kept the Union in tur-moil for more "than ten years after the warclosed.

It has declared in substance and effect thathe war for the Union had destroyed tho unionof the States, and that power was centralizedin the General Government by the war in defi-ance of the constitution, wliich declares that"the powers not delegated to the United Statesby the constitution, nor prohibited by it to theStates, are reserved to the States respectively,"or to the people.

Regardless of the heavy burdens necessarilyimposed in defense of the "Union, it lian wanton-ly increased those burdens by creating newand unnecessary offices as rewards for partisanfavorites, and to perpetuate its power giventhem high salaries, and has also greatly in-creased the salaries formerly fixed by law,

LOST IN THE DESERT.

by fraudulent contracts in the navy ancf otfierdepartments.

For the Credit Mobilier swindle, defraudingfrcedmen, frauds in the construction of publicbuildings, and tho wln'Bky ring, this party isdirectly responsible.

It has also to answer for the crime of forcingthe freed nogro to be a prey to unscrupulousand selfish miscreants who only sought to usehim as a means of power and emolument. Thenext census will fell a fearful tale in this re-gard.

By its action and the action of its partyleaders it has corrupted the moral sense of thopeople, and the fearful catalogue of defalca-tions and breaches of trust which tho countryhas witnessed aro but the legitimate outgrowthof its example.

It has discriminated betwoen tho Govern-ment and the people, assuming their intereststo be unlike, and striving to build up a stronggovernment to keep the people in subjection.

By force and fraud it defeated the will ofthe people, at the last Presidential eloction, andthereby greatly endangered tho peaco of thecountry, which was preserved only by tho for-bearance and patriotism of the Democracy,who preferred to suffer oven this great wrong,for this once only, rather than plunge thecountry into Woodshed for the enforcement oftheir rights.

On all financial matters it has favored therich even at the expenso of the Government,and reiving on tho strength of the army hasbidden defiance to the struggling poor.

It passed the Pnblic Credit act, pledging thcfaith of the nation to pay moro than tho con-tract called for, and agreeing that the Govern-ment should not avail itself of privileges givenby the contraot

It lias provided one currency for the bond-holder and another for the people.

It has built up a non-taxpayers' class by itse\i'in|'tiii!i uf bonds from taxation.

It demonetized silver.It increased thc expenses of the Government

from $2 for each person in 1S60 to SO.78 foreach person in 1W.I, as shown in PresidentJohnson's, last annual message, an increase of38il per cent., while in the same time the popu-lation increased only '£i per emit, and tne as-sessed valuation of" the country incroasod lessthan 'JO per ecnt.

It has vested tho administration with such adiscretion and control over tho finances as toenable it at its will to expand or contract thecirculation, a power valuablo only to enable itsfavorites to acquire fortunes on Wall street,but, which the good of all domands shouldnever bo left iu discretion but controlled by law.

It has made civil-service reform a by-wordand a reproach. When Mr. Jewell refused topermit the assessment of his clerks for parti-san purposes his resignation was demanded.When JJristow in good faith sought to enforcothe law against the whisky ring, he was obligedto leave the Cabinet The whisky ring hadbled for tho party, and its power would bebroken should the * sinews of war " fail.

It has made the military superior to tho civilpower.

Its constant action has been revolutionary,tending to a permanent change in the form ofgovernment.

Dreadful Experionce of M;0- Tliornburgh'HCommand in I lie Sand Hill* of Nebraska.

A special correspondent of the Chi-cago Times, who accompanied Maj.Thornburgh in his chase after the murderous Cheyenne Indians, furnishes thefollowing account of that expeditionand its remarkable experiences:

Tho march has been through a coun-try which is a geographical blank, and adesert untenanted by scarcely a livingthing. The wagon trains were aban-doned at the Platto rivor, two of thembeing stuck in tho quicksand. Themen took two days' rations on theirsaddles and started northward towardWhite Tail creek, where tho scouts re-ported the savages encamped. A fogso dense that it obscured objects twentyyards away bewildered the scouts, and,before they stnick the trail, eight milesaway, twenty miles had been traversedin objectless detours, and the savage.'had escaped. Their camp fires weresmoldering and their trail was still freshThe column pushed on with scouts sup-posed to know all about the country,but they proved their utter ignoranceby leading tho column through an inac-cessible country and losing the trail.

The track of the savages was finallydiscovered by members of Thornburgh'sstaff, and the cavalry moved on at thehighest possiblo speed. We made a drycamp underneath the hills, where asemi-circle of rifle pits had been dug inthe sand. We pressed the savages soclosely that twenty ponies had beenabandoned, and near the rifle pits therewere some with packs on their backs,all wet with perspiration. During thenight the Indians were heard aroundthe camp, but the scouts were not ableto strike them. The command was inthe saddle before daybreak, followingthe trail, which led toward the southSeventy-five miles had been traversedwithout a drop of water. The day washot and dusty, and the men and animalssuffered frightfully.

A private of Company H of the FourthInfantry, dismounted by the falling ofhis horse, was left on the road to waitfor Mauck's command, which was fol-lowing twenty miles in our rear. Twohours after the column passed out ofsight ho was attacked by several Indians,He took refuge in the rifle-pits, andstood them off several hours. The Indians, circulating around him, poured ahot fire upon him, and, although someof their bullets cut his clothing, he es-caped unhurt, Mauck's command ap-pearing in sight just after the Indianssucceeded in shooting the trigger offhis gun. We reached a smal"creek near the North Platte river onSunday noon. The men were almos-unable to articulate from the effects oftheir torturing thirst. The wagon-train, left in the rear, was attacked byfifteen Indians. The guard repelled theassault until relieved by the arrival ofMauck. All tho scouts who had beenengaged deserted the expedition, andCol. Thornburg could only push on ina northern direction in hopes of strik-ing tho trail. Finally we struck the greatsand hills of Nebraska. The sand wasknee-deep to the horses and was carriedby the wind in blinding clouds. Ceaselesscurrents of wind piled it up inmonstrous castles or whirled itup into drifts like snow. Thccolumn marched forty-five miles withoutwater and with no food save a littlehard-tack and raw bacon. Just as the sunwas going down our glasses revealed alake in the distance. We reached it at8 o'clock, but found it to bo bitterly al-kaline. The next day we struck Carl-ton's trail and followed it, abandoningall hopes of intercepting the Indians,Tho best horses in the command -eresent forward bearing couriers, to askCarlton's assistance. We marched fortymiles, and passed en routo a camp madeby Carlton's mon. Horses and men,dropping out of Carlton's column fromexhaustion, came straggling into ourcamp, near an alkali lake, at all hoursduring thc night. Wednesday morningtho probability that the whole commandwould perish in tho sand was generallydiscussed. New couriers were sent for-ward, and every effort made by the com-manding officer to relieve the increasingdistress of the troops. He succeeded at3 o'clock in communicating with Carl-ton, and an hour later we camped onthe headwaters of tho Snake river,where Carlton's relief met us. Thehorses were so thin that the men almostpulled them over in attempting tomount. The expedition is a completefailure so far as the capture of tho rene-gade Cheyennes is concerned. It failedbecause illy fitted out, something forwhich Thornburgh cannot be hold re-sponsible. Another cause of the failurewas the unreliable character of thescouts furnished the expedition. Thodepartment of the Platto was outgen-eraled. The savages baffled the troopsat every point, and led them into thesand-hills, from which they might neverhavo emerged.

A. S. WILSON presents the followingfacts to show the marvelous industry ofboos. Approximately, 100 heads ofclover yield 0.8 gram of sugar, or 126heads give 1 gram of sugar, and, there-fore, 125,000 heads 1 kilogramme ofsugar. As each head contains 60 florets(125,000x00), not less than 7,500,000flower tabes must be emptied of theirhoney to obtain 1 kilogramme of sugar.The honey may, roughly, be estimatedto contain 75 per cent, of sugar, andhence we havo 1 kilogramme equal to5,600,000 flowers in round numbers, or2,500,000 visits for 1 pound of honey
