THE WAY THE ADMINISTRATIONS DOES

THE WAY THE ADMINISTRATION DOES
IT, The Brooklyn Eagle lizard Dem. }
thus exposes the means by which George
Taylor, the present Lecompton Member of
Congress from that city, tried to secure his
re election. Old Buck must be hard put
to it, for tools to do his bidding, when
such measures have to be resorted to elect
them. Recollect this comes from Dem
ocratic paper:
"The Navy Yard was stuffed with en-
ployees crowded into it hundreds upon
hundreds, so that they could hardly walk
through the yard without knocking their
heads together, every one of whom was
compelled to pledge himself to Taylor be-
fore he could gain an entrance. Besides
the votes manufactured in this way, every
employee was taxed more than title of
his whole pay to raise huge corrupt fund
to buy up the floating scum ever ready to
sell itself on the eve of election. The
men employed in the yard were for the
most part the noted bullies and rufians Of
the city. We ask any candid man if the
appearance and dphysiognomy of the squads
who hung around the polls in two or three
Navy yard Wards of the city yesterday,
shouting for their master, could be match
ed anywhere except by looking through
the grating of penitentiary? Such
forms and faces never looked upon this
outer world before, except through prison
bars, medium of vision familiar to most
Of them.
The means employed to manufacture
Taylor votes were not more corrupt than
the manner in which they were used was
degrading, They were sent to the polls
with marked ballots in their hands, head
ed by their overseers, and driven like
dumb beasts of the stall to vote this mar
ked ticket, with the eye of their slave -dri-
vers upon them spectacle better calcula-
ted to make cen angels weep than any
scene transacted in Southern slave pen.
The result has proved that only the en-
ployees thus tyranically coerced voted the
ticked, and throughout the whole city il
did not receive one honest, unpurchased
vote

ADvERTIsTNo.-I have always consid.
cred advertising, literally and long, to be
great medium Of success in business,
and prelude to wealth And have made
it an inyariable rule, too, to advertise, in
the dullest times, long experience having
taught me that money thus spent is well
laid out as by keeping my business con-
tinuaiiy before the public, it has secured
many sales that l would otherwise have

CIDER VINEGAR-Almost every family
in the country have the materials for man
ufacturing pure cider Vinegar, if they
will only use them. Common dried ap-
plies, with little of molasses and brown
paper are all you need to make the best
kind of cidar vinegar. And what is still
better, the cider which you extract from
the apples, does not detract from the val
ue of the apples for any other purpose.
Soak your apples few washing
and rubbing them occasionally, then take
them out of the water and thoroughly
strain the latter through a tight woven
cloth-put it into jug, add half pint
of molasses to a gallon of liquor, and a
piece of commeu brown paper, and set in
the sun, or by the FIRE, and in a few days
your vinegar will be fit for use. Have
two jugs, and use out of one while the
other is working No family need be des-
titute of good vinegar, if they will follow
the above Observation-Disclosures Far

Some years ago Congress numbered
among its member several who were
much given to love of liquor, and were
frequently seen alb ut the streets of the
metropolis son sp ZEE" Such conduct
on the part of our law makers didn't i'm
press the outsiders with such an exalted
opinion of NJ. C.'s as they once had, as
the incident l am about to relate will
show:
On hot moonlight night, during long
session, party of gentlemen, including
several members of Congress, were seated
around the door of the house Of friend,
and were trying to get cool, when an old
topper, "aii tattered and torn, known as
Bill Scraggs, made his appearance in their
midst, and asked for money to obtain a
nights lodging and something to eat
The Hon. Mr.. VIM, a very kind hearted
and respectable member of the House,
soon engaged Bill in conversation, and at
once discovered that he was an educated
man, and remarked to him:
"My friend, you appear to have seen bet
ter days; would ike to know something
of your history"
Bill drew himself up, and, after short
pause, said:
"Sir, hare seen better days Ny par
ents are well-to-do; they gave me good
education and a profession, and at one
time my prospects in life were as bright as
any mans; but alas sir, in an evil hour
became addicted to drink. From that
moment have been going down, down,

Hon. RoBERT G. WINTHRop.-This dis
tinguished gentleman has recently written
a letter in which he expresses the fellow
ing sensible and patriotic views on the
political questions of the day.
I have an Interchangeable conviction thas
incorporate anti-slavery agitation has been
the source Of very large part of all the
troubles hy which our country has been
disturbed and harrascd for some years
past; that it has done nothing to advance
any real interest of freedom, but has
provoked and stimulated not few Of the
very measures against which it was osten-
isibly aimed that it has impeded and OBJ
structed all other measures for the pros
perity and welfare of the people and that
there is little hope of any useful or prsc-
tical legislation being successfully attemp-
ted until Congress shall cease to bo nero
ring for the prize-fghts of pro o-slavery and
anti-slavery agitation. It is for ths
highest interest Of the whole country that
there should be an end of this sectional
strife and | know not how this result can
be more effectively promoted than by
granting at least temporary furlough
to those of the eombatants, who by dis
position or principle. or antecedent cir
cumstances or connections, are most
strongly inclined TO prolong and aggrayats
that strife.

KEEP COOL.

Those calm and rational observations to
"take it eoolly" and "never cry over split
milk" are very good till they are needed
They are extremely salutary before tho
fever kindles or milk is Spilled but in
the presence of pain, or on the advent of
a disaster, to all those who are not gifted
with fortitude by nature, or have been dis
ciplined in the school Of affiiction, they
are about as effectual as whistling in the
teeth of a nor-wester.
Their utter impotence in the moment of
passion reminds US of the direction given
by good old New England deacon to his
choleric son:
"Whenever you feel your dander ri
sing" said he, be sure to say the Lords
prayer, my son, or else the alphabet clean
through; and long before you get to the
end ont you'll be as cool as a cucumber or
an iceburg. Promise me faithfully, my
SON."
"Yes daddy, promise"
OFF trudged Jonathan to school, carry
ing his bread and meat, with small bot
tie of molasses in his jacket pocket and
his late firm promise uppermost in his
mind.
A boy who bore him an old grudge met
him, and after calling him "young dea-
con-" and many other scurrilous nick
names, caught him off his guard and
threw him to the ground, tearing his jack
ct, and breaking his molasses bottle.
Now it is said by censorious Southern
ers that Yankee will take a great many
hard names with the patience Of martyr,
his spirit is proof; but tear his clothes, or
cheat his stomach and he will fight to the
knife.
Up jumped Jonathan, his eyes wolfsh,
and his lips white with rage. But "there
was an oath in heaven" and he did not
forget it. So he proceeded to swallow his
alphabetical pills.
