Mr. Dallas.

The London correspondent of " Y Jour-
nal OF Commerce writes as follows:
There is a, this lime not even the sem
blance of an American war feeling in En-
gland. The sentiment which pervades the
public mind is: Peace at any price but
the price # dishonor.'
Mr.. Dallas has contributed vastly to the
extension of this sentiment; with which
even royalty. heretofore SO supercillious, is
deeply imbued. As an instance, may re-
mark tina few evenings ago, he was in
vited t. be present at the celebration Of a
scientific ms i,ution at which the Duke of
Cambridge presided. As soon as the din
ner terminated. the Duke rose to propose
his health. When his name was mention
ed, The applause became so deafening that
the Duke cold not proceed. After it had
abated he commenced again and was again
arres, ed in like manner in his remarks
He made a bird effort, but with no better
success. Well gontlemen,' said he, let

occurred. the Duke called on Mr. Dallas

To IMPROVE SEED PoTAToEs.-Charles
Seager Of st. Lous, recommends the fol-
lowing easily tried method of improving
potatoes, so as to restore them to their OIL
ginal soundness, richness and mealiness of
of this valuable root The plan is this
Keep back some seed potatoes for six or
seven weeks after the usual time of plant
ing, say to the last week Of June or the
first week in July, and then plant and cul-
tivate them the same as stock potatoes
They will grow until the frost withers the
vines, when they should be dug. AS they
have not had time to mature, they will be
quite small--not more than an inch or an
inch and half through, but they should
be carefully gathered, and kept safe from
fiost through the winter, and planted at
the usual time Of planting in the spring,
one of the small potatoes being sufficient
for seed in each hill The result will be
large sized, sound, mealy potatoes. as /
have proven by actual trial.
Ihops it will be tried by somo of our
farmers.

ciples:
The People-The only source of legiti-
mate power.
The absolute and lasting severance of
church and State.
The freedom, sovereignty and independ-
ence of the respective States.
The Union-A confederacy, neither a
consideracy or a Capitalization.
The Constitution of the Union-A spe-
cial grant of powers, limited and definite.
No hereditary Office, nor order, nor IT,
tie.
No taxa ion beyond the public wants.
No costly splendor Of administration.
No prescription Of opinion, or public
discussion.
No unnecessary interference with indi-
vidual conduct, property or speech.
No favored classes, and no monopolies.
No public money expended, except by
warrant of specific appropriation.
No mysteries in government inaccessible

1871, and is therefore 65 years old. He
served in the State Legislature two years,
in the House of Congress ten years. Gen
Jackson sent him to Russia as Minister in
1881. where he remained three years In
1884 he was elected to the United States
Senate and remained there eight years. He
was Secretary Of State under President
Polk, and Minister in England under Pres
ident Pierce. He has filled, therefore,
nearly every civil station of distinction, the
pos to which he has just been nominated
being the last and the highest which the
people of the country have to bestow upon
him.
NJ. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, the can
dida'e for Vice President, is comparatively
a-young man, and a nephew of Rev Rob-
ert }. Breckinridge, ID. d., the distinguish

The approaching Anniversary.

The Fourth of July meeting called for Saturday
afternoon appears to have escaped the minds of our
-tosnsmen; even the patriotic Bantam Bangers a.
whose instsncethe meeting was called seem 10 have
forgotten it entirely As 80 many years have passed
since any demonstration has been made in ktchsied
thereought to have accumulated sufficient en- thusiasm
to get up observance OF the occason-at least
good sociable picnic.
But eighty years have elapsed since forcfathers
declared themselves 81 free and independent" and
yet wefind nation to be the greatest the face
Of the earth. What man that has American heart
heating within his breast, does not feel national
pride in reviewing the past, enjoying the present
and anticipating the future of our glorious and
exanplcd Republic. Could the present generation
OF men but experience some of the agonies suffered
by our Revolutionary sires in the struggle for that
liberty and independence which we now enjoy they
would then better appreciate the peace and quiet with
which We are now abundantly blessed, and would
gladly commemorate the day that gave them this
precious boon. The Republican star that arose in
the Western hemisphere on the 4th of july 1916,
and whose brilliancy already eclip~ss all the diamond
crowns Of erths kings is destined to guide the be-
nghtet nations of the world to the land upon whose
soil was born the Goddess of Liberty. What burn
ing shame it is that should let such an annvers,-
~ pass by unobserved by the firing Of crackers
by the children and the destruction of juleps and
punches by the faster portion of Young America.
We hope the proposed gathering at the Lake has
not been given up by Bantam friends and sug-
Scst that they carry it through by themselves if
their ncghbors not disposed to take part in it,
We know not what Others may do but for ourselves
We will celebrate the day, even though to do it we
should be compelled to SO, solitary and alone to the

be very sensbly increased by another week, and we
are well persuaded that if the advantages of Litth

pleasure loving and health seeking public, many of

would experience material diminutien in the num-
Der OF their guests. The scenery about this place
