and if there were government which should
Danish it from the kingdom, there would be
rebellion of the throat and belly, compared
with which the revolution Of 1892 would be
childs play. Our principles are known

think very little of man who does not call
for his bottle Of wine. Such one may sit
long before he receives much attention. Is
the introduction and spread of teetotalism
needful and desirable for France ?; or would
it be well for America to initiate France, and
become wine-growing and wine-consuming
country? These are questions often put, and
we think not difficult to answer. Drunken
ness is a vice in France, though not to the
extent that it is in England and America !;
and, so far as it exists, it should be eradcated.
So far as it exists, it is caused chiefly by wine.
Louis Philippe said to Mr.. Dclavan, The
drunkenness of France is on vine" The cX-
pense of Intoxicating liquors to this country,
as well as to England and America, is enor-

So. The Duke Of Orleans, now deceased,
stated to Mr.. Delavan, " that of the thirty
four millions of people in France, fourteen
are engaged in some way in making and vend-
ing intoxicating drinks; and that i'll those
districts where the most wine was made, there
was also the greatest wrctchedncss, and the
most frequent appeals to government for aid,
and that so large proportion of the soil was
now cultivated for wine, that the raising OF
stock and grain was diminishing to an alarm
ing extent; and that he has looked to the dis
use of wine in other countries, as a source of
hope to France" In contemplating happy
France, we must look not merely at what she
is, with her cheerful temperament, bright
skies and fruitful fields but at what she might
be under more healthful influences and better
habits of what vice, misery, degradation,
sen uality and deprivation of all hope, as she
advances to the grave she would be delivered,
and what blessing she would be to the world
around her.

Remedy for Smut i'm Wheat.

Mr.. Tucker--To ascertain the most effective
remedy for smut in wheat, we tried the fol
lowing experiments in 1871:
Ten square rods of sandy loan land we
divided into six equal beds. Upon each we
sowed three-fourths ola quart of wheat.
No. 1. Sown with smutty grain. Yield, 2
1-2 q larts. One smut ball to 10 grains.
No 2. Sown with smutty grain, or rather,
very few balls Of smut, the grain being
quite clean, Yield, l-2 quarts clean grain,
and apint of screenings. One smut ball to
1853 grains.
No. s. Smutty grain washed in lime water
and brire. Yield 1-2qts; one pint screen
ings. One smut ball to 176 grains.
No. 4. Smutty grain washed in lime water
and brine, and plastered. Yield, 7 qts. clean
grain. One smut ball to II grains.
No. 5. Smutty grain washed in lime water
and brine, and lined. Yield, ats. clean
one gill screenings. One smut ball to 1920
grains.
No. G. Smutty grain washed milne water,
brine, and ley, and ashed. Yield, qts clean,
one pint screenings One smut ball to $40
grains, and the largest growth ofstraw.
Soaking wheat in brine and Inning itbefore
sowing, we have found to be as good pre-

AN INTERESTING NARRATIVE.

A few years since, as the Rev. Mr.. Gallau-
Diet was walking in the streets of Hartford,
there came running to him poor boy Of very
ordinary first-sight appearance, but whose fine
Intelligent eye fixed the gentlemans atten-
ton, as the boy inquired, Sir, can you tell
me of man who would like boy to work for
him, and learn to read 2" "Whose boy are
YOU and where do you live 2" 81 have no
parents" was the reply, "and have just ran
away from the work house because they will
not teach me to read" The reverend gem
tleman made arrangements with the authori-
ties of the town., and took the boy into his
own family. There he learned to read. Nor
was this all He soon acquired the confidence
of his new associates, by his faithfulness and
friends library, and made rapid progress in
in the acquisition of knowledge 1t became
necessary after a while that George should
leave Mr.. Galaudet, and he became appren-
ticed to a cabinet-makcr in the neigborhooG.
There, the same integrity won for him the IA
vor of his new associates. To crafty his in
clination for study, his master had little
room finished for him in the upper part Of the
shop, where he devoted his leisure time to his
favorite pursuits. Here he made large attain
ments in the mathematics in the French Ian
guagc, and other branches.
After being in this situation few years, as
he sat at tea with the family, one evening, he
all at once remarked that he wanted to go to
France. " 90 to Frdnce." said his master,
surprised that the apparently contented and
happy youth had thus suddenly become dis
satisfied with his situation" for what p

After half century he returned among us;
and the warm and affectionate hearts and love
ly hands that welcomed friend who had done
so much and perlled all for the youthful re-
public, cheered the evening of his days-the
nation he had sought to save poured of its a.

and age united to honor him-monarchs on
their thrones felt the difference between true
greatness and adventitious, casual distinction
A few years more, and the friend of man, the
companion of Washington, Monroe, Mercer
and Steuben, slept with his fathers-but his
memory lives, to point to the path which true

Last evening returned from the camp Of
the constable's posse at Carthage, and today
at 10 o'clock has been fixed upon Ly the
officers In command for marching to Nauyoo.
The posse consists of about 800 men, who
are actually doing camp duty, besides which
there are about 300 more in the town and
around the camp, who, it is expected, will ac-
company them as soon as the posse COM
mences its march.
1t is the design of the posse to march today
within few miles Of Nauvoo and there en-
camp, and are ordered to be provided with
five days provisions-together with spades;
Shovels, axes, Sc, &c, to throw up ntrench-
ments in case of need
The present move on the part of the anti
Mormons appears to be marked with good
deal of determination-they are better OFF,
cered than heretofore, and more system ia
observable in their operations.
There are various reports from Nauvoo-
some that the Mormons will make q very
determined resistance, and others, that the re-
slstance will not amount to much.-St Louis

EVE AFTER INDEPENDENCE.

flushed is the cannon's roar,
The noisy drum hath ceased its clarnorous voice;
A soothing calm steals Ger
The busy scene where freemen'a hearts rejoice.
But see--a glorious light,
Swift Us an arrow, shoots athwart the skyi
The stiffness Of the night
Is broken by shrill and joyous cry
Man glorics in his power
And fain would initiate HIS matchiess hand
Who sends the meteOrc shower,
And makes the thunder roll at His command.
Oh, well may we press on,
And learn perfection from the school above,
If even like Heavens own,
Our works appears but as the fruit OF love.
Yet man, in wrath and pride,
Hath seemed to seize the thunder bolts OF Heaven;
And brethren side by side
Have with opposing brethren madly stfiycn.
And oft the midnight skies
Have blushed as if ashamed of human ire;
While Heavens eternsl eyes
Have wond ring seen whole cities Wrapt in tire.
How long shall such things be!
Fen now dark rumors reach us from altar
Ofuntod misery,
Caused by that most insatiate monster-WA
But hush! methnks voice
Soft as an angels, whispers in my ear,
Saying, rejoice-rejoice
For 10. the long expected day draws near
~ When swords and spears no more
Shall to unholy purposes be given,
And the loud lannon's roar
Shall speak of naught but praise thanks oheayen
Father in Heaven forgive
And may the future for the past atone;
Oh teach us while we live,
That vengeance doth belong to THEE alone

SAD ACCIDENT. We learn from Colonel
Lombard of the Express, the particulars Of a
sad accident at Windsor Lock, Ct between
and o'clock last evening. Some persons
who had returned from a cunning excursion,
left their muskets at or near the store of Mes
srs State & Brown, machinists and merchants
of that village. While there, some dogs got
to fighting and knocked the muskets over ;
one Of them went off, and the charge passed
directly into the leg of a little daughter of
Mr. Brown, above the knee, SCATTERING it al
most to pieces. Parts of the bone were car

years old; she can hardly be expected to

its being, Seeking out truth and represent

knowledge that the physical power of society
is always ready to vindicate the right, As it

without those commissions and rebelions by
which rude, unlettered people make their

Country Newspapers.

The Morning News thus speaks in regard
to country Newspapers:
"Let no farmer, and no other man relin-
quish the newspaper published in his own
neighborhood, for the sake oftaking some 9TH
er larger, cheaper, or more popular paper
published abroad. The newspaper published
in ones own county, is as a general rule, more
valuable than any other, if it be for nothing
but the advertisements; for even they are the
thermometer of business place, and often
the KEY which opens the door to excellent
bargains. 1t is Of no little consequence to the
farmer to know what is going on in his mar
ket town; the competitions in buying prod
uce the changes in business operations; the
settlement Of estates; sale of farms, &c. We
venture to say, there is no man who may not
every year much more than save the price of
subscription to his neighboring newspaper,
from its advertising columns alone; and on
this ground all ought to patronize their own
newspapers. This should be done also for
weightier reasons, one of,which we will name;
the mammoth weekly sheets of e'cities being
furnished at price with which no country
printer can compete, (for the reason because
made up generally from the matter once used
andpaid form the daily papers) are encroach-
ing largely upon the country newspapers,
thus discouraging improvements and gradual
ly bringing the whole country under the in
Auence, and in some sense, the control, of the
leading cliques in the cities. Thus tone is
given to the morals, and politics, and habits of
the country, and we hesitate not to say, that
the preponderance of this influence is bad.
The people Of the country get full enough of
this influence through their own papers; and
if they would not complete the supremacy of
the cities over the moral and political destiny
of the country, let them support the country
newspapers. Take the city papers if you can
afford it, and as many Of them as you please
but first see to it that your own home paper is
q regular visiter to your freside. Support
them first and literally, and they will hardly
fail to support your interest"
