The DEMAeoGuE.--The following remarks by the
Louisville Journal have point and applicability be-
yond the locality for which they were intended
"Under every form Of government, selfish men
become the tterers of power for the sake OF their
own advancement. The principle is the same what
ever may be its manifestation. In a monarchy, the
selfish aspirant Is courtier, and tells the monarch
that he can do no wrong. The most tyrannical
Of the ruler are cordially supported by the
courtier, who expects preferment as the reward OF
his servility. In such circumstances, the friends
Of humanity are the noble men who dare TO stand
up for the rights against the force of the oppressor
who will PROSTATE their free souls in the dust,
nor bow down the calf which the oppressor orders
them to worship. In republican government, the
courter becomes a demagogue; but he is the same
fawning sycophant still He changes the object OF
his iattery, but not his own servile nature. He
fawns on power still with the same base motive.
Power s placed in other hands; but il cannot eude
his watchful eye. However rapidly il may pass
from to another his eye is fixed upon all its mo-
tons. The last possessor s his master, before whom
he crouchcs with more than dog like servility, He
abused Hampden and Sydney because his master
babe him do SO; he now auds them To the skies be-
cause he poets thereby TO gain the favor Of his
new owner. He reviles courtIers, though change
of circumstances would find him the most cringing
sycophant of them all. The courtier is the dema-
gogue transferred TO a monarchy; the demagogue
Is the courtier removed 10 a republic. In short,
courtier and demagogue but two names Of the
same despicable character, and the demagogue who
revilos tho courtier is reyiling himself
"Of what earthly use is the demageguel The
courtier fstters the monarch, watches TO see in
what direction his wishes point, and eagerly runs
forward TO crafty them. Abandoned TO selfshnessi
he not what results may follow, if he only
advance his own interests. So the demagogue deals
out nauseous doses Of hattery TO "the sovereign
people," watches the Of public opinion, and
when he IL in regard TO the direction, rushes In
among the foremost, waits not 10 what Is right
and what is wrong, but what is popular, or sup
posed 10 be Like the courtier, he is a coward,
and dares not speak his own thoughts He is a
slave, and trembles at the frown of his master He
is not man, for he has given up the high attributes
of manhood. He has lost his individuality. He ha,
become mere MACHINE. He strangles his own
thoughts, annihilates his own soul, HE is curse
20 his country and TO the human race. OF such
things-for men they cannot be caled--we have
had enough. May Heaven hereafter infict upon
few Of them as the just punishment Of our sin,

HOUSE CLEANISG.-As this is about the season
when good housewives clean their houses from cell
lar 10 garrett il may be well to say few words on
the subject When you wash paint, don't soft
soap and warm water, for that will take off the
paint as well as the dirt. Use cold water and hard
soap Scrub the floors with soft SOAP and don't put
down the carpets until the floor is perfectly dry.
Always put down some fine clean (mind clean)
straw under the carpet, andlay il smooth and level
Carpets may be cleaned by pounding them in strong
soap-suds and washing them well out Of the soap.
The suds must be very strong and cold. This Is
done by cutting down the hard soap and dissolving
il in warm water. The suds should feel slippery
between the fingers. Bedstesds should receive a
complete scrubbing with soap and water and should
not be put up until perfectly dry. The seams and
holes should then be anointed with corrosive sub
Innate dissolved in alcohol or sulphur mixed with
camphine or a solution of the chloride Of zinc. No
person should go 10 sleep in damp bedroom. Many
people, by overlooking this caution during house
cleaning scason catch colds, and make their
beds with the cods Of the valley before the subse
quent Christmas. Always commence to clean at
the top Of the house, and descend by steady and
regular stages. Some people clean their houses
with uuietness and scarce any disorder; others do
not any moro work. but make a great deal Of noise
ftherc is dog or cat about the house, il generally
disappears till the squall is over. The grand rule
for facilitating work s system. Arrange all the
work to be done, and how IL is TO be done, before
commencing. For want Of sys,em many job has
to be done over aud over again.

OVERLAND LETTERS AND NEwspAP,

OVERLAND LETTERS AND NEWSPAPERS.
The following information is published for the
beneht OF parties In the United States interested in
the East India and China trade as well as for that
parties resident in the East Indies and China who
correspond with persons resident in the United
States: 4.H rh
In answer to an inquiry made at the London post
Office il letters and newspapers addressed to the Uni
ted States, by parties resident in India China. Java
MANILA Singapore, and other places east of the
Cape ofGood Hope can be forwarded, post paid or
unpaid, to their destination WITHOUT being addressed
to the care OF house in London-the reply is, YES.
This Is important and grows out of the postal ar
rangcment between Great Britain and the United
States. Thus, letter or newspaper mailed at any
place in India or China, for the English mails, for
any party, in any place in the United States, post
paid unpaid, will come forward without being
directed to the care of any party in London, with
the same regularity as a letter will go from Bos-
ton TO New Orleans.
So, letters from any place in the United States
and newspapers, can be forwarded to India, China,
and the other places named without being directed
to the care of any party in London, by paying the
postage thereon through, at the post office in the
United States where such letter is mailed, and the
same will be despatched forward by the first Eng
lish mail for Liverpool, from Boston or New York,
and go forward to its destination without fail. It
will be necessary to mark on such letter, cover
land via Southampton" or, "Overland via Mar
seilles." Via Marseiles the postage is very much
larger.
The mails made up in London as follows
For India, China, Manilla &c., &c., via Southamp-
ton, on the evening Of the Goth of each month via
Marseilles, on the evening of the oath of each
month. For India, but not for China, via South
ampton, on the evening of the 4th of each month;
via Marseilles on the evening Of the 7th of each
month. When the above-named days fall on
Sunday, the mails via Southampton are closed one
day earlier, that is, ON the Sd and 18th, and via
Marseilles, one day later
Letters not sent to the care of, endorsed to, a
London house, are more certain to go forward by
the first mail made up at London, as it not unfre-
quentiy happens that a day is lost by passing the
letters through the hands of party in London, and
in consequence the letters lie over for subsequent
mail Boston Anas.

PHILADELPHrA Rrors. OF so frequent occurrence
have become the fremen riots in Philadelphia that
VIC no longer think Of publishing them, except
when Of more than ordinary ferocity and "inter-
estn For years have these disgrnceful scenes been
enacted in that city at very short intervals. Men
have been bruised, beaten and killed machines
have been destroyed in various ways property has
been suffered TO burn up; and riot and disorder
have seemingly had full scope--and all without
scarcely an energetic and decisive effort being
made to suppress and put them down.
We claim right to meddle with the local affairs

these riots in Philadelphia are a disgrace to the
