HELPING THE BLACK REPUBLI-
CANS.

From the New Orleans Bulletin, Oct. 2sth)
The constant threats which the section
alists in the South have been making for
years, have unquestionably increased sec
tional agitation in the North, and Of course
the Black Republican vote. We not uu-
frequently see the whole Northern peo-
pie denounced by the sectional press South,
in terms of the grossest and the choicest
billingsgate. Everybody knows the effect
of such language. No man who has any
respect for himself submits to threats. and
least # al threats upon political subjects
They very properly excite contempt and
nothing else. In this way the Anti-Slave-
ry vote of the North has been largely in
creased-thanks to the disunionists Of th3
South.
The latter of eou1se-those of them that
are nOs too simple to understand the opera
tons of cause AMI elfcet-intend to have
this effe;t follow, They intend to exasper-
ate and widen the differences that may
exist, to pour oil upon the fires Of fanati-
cism, so that disruption and havoc may ul-
timatoly ensue The AbolitiOnises of the
North pursue exactly the same course
They denounee in their bsst billingsgate
the whole of the South, and for the veIy
same reason, advance sectional parties, to
make political capital, and ultimately to
bring about their measure of destruction.
Having become norbidly crazy, they can
not of course see the effects of their coll
duct, and as many of them have nothing
to lose, night not legret it if they could.
He who INDUCES in gross and wholesalG
abuse Of entire communicated the United
States is either too shallow to perceive the
nature Of. 70 care what may be their efe-t.
The vehement and continued threats Of
disunion, marching on to Washington, etc.
in case Of Lincoln's election, on the part Of
the sectional press and speakers South,
have had their natural effect Of quivkening
the sectional cause in the North, and Of
thus afFording it aid and eemfort. Every
intelligent, fair minded man who reflects
upon the subject must cOncede that no 9TH
er effect conld be expected to grow legiti-
mately out Of such a course.

SUNSET ON THE WATER.
BY L kEE.

Away in the distance, so grandly out-spread.
The blue waves of Erie, lie sugerless and dead
No foam tossing pillows roll back on the shore
The waves have subsidized, and hushed is
their roar.
In grandeur and beauty, slow sinking to rest
The sun is reclining on Eric's calm breast;
The stiTl waveless waters smile bright in their
bliss,
Then blush to deep crimson beneath his
warm kiss.
The dark rocky shore, in the distance unrolled,
Is turned in the sunset to silver and gold
The huge forms of granite, against the soft
sky,
Stand out like stro2g Castles with battlements
high.
The last rays of sunset have died on the shore,
The waves Of old Erie blush crimson no more:
The far distant landmarks grow dim on the
sight.
Are lost in the quick coming shadows Of
night
The stars. one by one. come out in the sky,
And shine like bright diamonds suspended
on high;
As eve draws her curtains, more brightly they
glow,
Beholding their beauty reflected below.
Half fearful, retiring, low down in the west,
The moon on her birth-night, bids welcome
each guest,
Orion. Bootes with Areturus. bright,
Fair Venus, resplendent with beauty and
light.
Above, the vast dome that jehovah urrecrs,
The dome of high heaven, in grsndeur appears;
Far down, meath the still, waveless waters, be-
hold,
That dome is inverted, its grandeur retolJ.
Away down through the realms of unlimited
space,
Those bright orJs of beauty, in wonder,
trace,
Till lost IN vain effort to comprehend mere,
can but look upward, and, silent, adore.

CAssIUS MARCELLUs CLAY.

This noble son of Kentucky has done
yooman's service for the Republican cause
during the entire campaign. His labors
have principally been in the Western
States, and he has been enthusiastically
greeted by the people. The speeches of
Mr.. Clay have exerted wide influence. for
they touch the heart of the masses with a
live coal from Freedoms altar.
The life of such a Man is full of inter-
est. Cassius NJ. Clay is the son of Gen.
Green Clay, who was member of the Vir-
ginia Convention which ratified the Fede-
ri Constitution of 1889, in favor of which
he spoke and voted, and who commanded
tile 5000 Kentucky volunteers who cut
their way through the British to the relief
OF General Harrison, besieged at Fort
Moigs in 1918.
Cassius was born in Madison county,
Kentucky, Oct. 10, 1910, and graduating
at Yale in 1882, returned to Kentucky
and devoted himself to the law. In 1885
, he was elected to the State Legislature, in
, 1886 he was defeated on account of his ad-
vocaey of Internal improvements, but was
again elected in 1897. He was a member
of the Wing Convention which nominated
Harrison, and in 1910 was elected from
Lexington, Fayette county, to the Legisla-
ture. In 1911 he VIZ; defeated, owing to
his opinions on the slavery question. The
improved jury and comHOn school systems
of Kentucky are in a large measure due
to his efforts In 1874 he denounced the
/ Texas annexation scheme, as designed for
the extension of slavery. OnJune5 3, 1915,
/ lie issued the True American, devoted to
the extinguishmcnt slavery in his native
State. The opposition to the paper was
violent, and in the August following, while
Mr.. Clay was sick, his press vas seized BY
4 mob. and sent to Cincinnati. lie was
threatened by public resolution with assas-
.ination, but upon his recovery he revived
I his PAPER, printing it at Cincinnati and
, publishing it in Lexington. lie after

great excitement and peril, and received
nearly 5000 votes. Since the organization
Of the Republican party, he has been iden-
tilted with it, and has done noble service
in his own State at the peril of his lie, and
in many other States also.

No one said word to him about it, for we
thought that would be best, just to let the

/ The Hartford Cor0Rt mOralizes thus on

has wonderful effect on the estimation of
others, or on the value We attach to our
selves. When We see the daughters of a
couple that have worked harl through life
and eaten the bread of carefulness, thrum-
ing on the piano, or sweeping the sidewalks
with their expensive silks, we think at once
they are showing the public that "Dad
has Sruck ae.''
When we see a young woman flirting IN
the streets with all the idle young men,
while hSr mother sits at home mending her
STOCKINGS ear her, it is very evident that she
thinks "Dad las 81, ;.:.L. ,.cL H."
When W. see young men vaporing arou:'''
with a cigar in their mouths. driving fast
horses instead of being at work, We know
they feel that '.Dad has struck lie. "
When a man has struck le himself. by
his own perseverance and industry, we Ike
to see him use it well, and, if necessary
even for his own enjoyment But we want
to see him bring up his clildtcn. as he was
brought up himself to ,cork. Let them
be taught to use their own perseverance
and industry, and st,rik lie for themselves.
1t will be of more use to their characters
and future destiny than if Dad has
struck It or them. Every one who trcads
Gods Garth, and breathes Gods air, should
feel it to be a duty to work-to make the
world better for having lived in ito be
of some use in his day and generation.-
Let every one labor with his mind, if he

FRO FESs0R E0RsFoRD'S MODE OF
PRESERVING CIDER,

/ We has been asked Sc many times td
reprint .bo ezsellent recipe of Professor
Horsford for srrestiheg the fermentation of
cider or other saccnerine jsiees at any de-
sired point, that we feel S9und to comply.
We have tried the experiment 50 as to sat-
isfy US of its value, and recommsaI our
readers to do the same. Our plan has been
to add the sugar at an early stage of the
fermentation, and the sulphite soon after
ward, and in somewhat larger quantities
than has been recommended The SUGAR
m .kcrs add the sulphite as soon as the juice
il expressed. Dr. IRE says the action Of
the sulphur is to obstruct the fermentation
by absorbing oxygen, AMI thereby prevent
ing the elimination of yeast PARTICLES. The
following is the recipe:
when the cider in the barrel is under
going lively fermentation. add as mu:h
white sugar asUill be eIlal to halfort three
quarters of pound to each gallon of cider,
and let the fermentation proceed until the
liquid attains the right taste to suit; then
add an eighth to a quarter of an ounce OF
sulphite (not sulPhate) Of lime to each gal
lon Of cider in the cask; first mixing the
powlc. in about a quart of the cid5r AMI
then pouring it back into theeask, AMI give
it thorough shaking or rolling Aftar
standing bungelu 10 few days for the mt
ter aided to bec,me incorporated with the
cider, it may be bottled or ussl from the
caSk
"Don't mistake sulphate Of lime, which
is a natural production, and known as plas-
ter Of Paris. for sulphite of lime, which Is
a manufactured article, AMI is worth by the
barrel SO cts. pouaI aal by the ewt.
SO cents, and by the single pouad 80 cts
1t has been Of late much used by isugar-ma-
kers to prevent fermentation Of their. cane
juice; and in our opinion it viii be founl
more effective as a preventative of fermen-
tation in cider than an arrester oft after
it has proceeded nearly to eomPlctiol. =

With all due Difference to the feelings of those

but express our entire disapprobation of the

We cannot believe that the citizens of the Dis

we are satisfied it was called by a very few men.
not for the genera! good of the people, but for

it but due to ourselves, to present to our fellow
