John Sherman's Speech in New
York.

John Sherman's Speech in New
York.
Mr.. Sherman recently made a long
speech at Cooper Institute on the doc
trinos and aims of Ropublicanism. -
He said of the Helper book, (Which is
supposed to have defeated his election
to the Spoakership,J that it was a per.
fectly harmless and even laudable work
so far as its facts and statistics went
but that the authors opinions about
the extreme measures to be adopted to.
wards Shareholders, were bitter and un,
justifable. He proceeded:
Permit me to add, gentlemen, that nc
institution or system can or ought tc
stand in a free Government like ours,
that is afraid to meet and unable to an.
swer, by fact and argument, any book
that can be written.
Mr.. Shermans platform Of Ropubli
can principles and measures is thu,
frankly laid down
And now as to what the Republican
party ,oU do, if you take us at oui
word, and help us elect a Republican
President. I will tell you We will
promptly admit Kansas into the Union
and put an end at once to that contro
versy. We will settle with the Nor
mons in accordance with the Philadel
phia platform. We Wll prevent th,
planting Of slavery in New Mexico
| We will adopt the homestead and pre-
emption policy in the settlement Of
tho public lands.
You ask me what will become of th
proceeds Of the public lands? Why

SLEEP. There is no fact more clearly
in the physiology of man
than this, that the brain expends its
energies and itself during the hours of
wakcfuness, and that these are reou-
perated during sleep; if the reoupera-
tion does not equal the expenditures
the brain withers-this is insanity
Thus it is that, in early English histo-
ry, persons who were condemned to
death by being prevented from sleep
ing, always died raving maniacs; thus it
is, also, that those who are starved to
death become insane; the brain is not
uourished and they cannot sleep. The
practical differences are these: ]. Those
who think most, who do the most brain
work, require most sleep. g. That time
saved from necessary sleep is infallibly
destructive to mind, body and estate
3, Give yourself your children, your
servants--givo all that are under you
the fullest amount of sleep they will
take, by compelling them to 60 to bed
at some regular early hour, and to arise
in the morning the moment they awake
and, within fortnight, nature, with al
most the regularity of the rising sun
will unloose the bonds of sleep the mo.
ment enough repose has been secured
for the wants Of the system This is
the only safe and sufficient rule; and as
to the question how much sleep any
one requires, each must be a rule fol-
himself; great Nature will never fail tc
write it out to the observer under the
Regulations just given.

PET BIRDs.-Caged birds arc a
source of pleasure, and while they give
great happiness if they are kept in
good healthy condition, seem to enjoy
life nearly, if not quite as well as their
mates in the bush or the Wildwood
especially if, either from lack of mem
ory or blissful ignorance, the Gagged
birds do not know what pleasure they
lose. "Whcre ignorance is bliss, tbs
folly to be wise" One of the great
drawbacks to the happiness of birds,
and to the pleasure of keeping them,
is lice, and having recently learned of a
safe and sure way of removing them,
we give it to our readers. The Michi.
gan Farmer says:
clay a piece of Canton or cotton
flannel over the cage, several nights in
succession, taking it off at daylight
Multitudes of the lice will be found up
on it, which are easily killed After a
few days all will be removed. A case
in which this operation has been very
successful has just been brought to our
notice. from a pair Of bobolinks hund-
reds of these little parasites were re-
moved in this way"

WALTER ScOTT's YOUTHFUL NE.
oLEoT.--Walter Scott, in a narrative Of
his personal history, gives the following
caution to youth:
off it should ever fall TO tho lot of
youth to peruse these pages, let such
readers remember it is with deepest re-
gret that l recolleot in my manhood
the opportunities of learning which 1
neglected in my youth; that, through
every part of my literary career, 1 have
felt pinched and hampered by my own
ignorance; and 1 would this moment
give half the reputation have had the
good fortune to acquire, if, by so doing,
l could rest the remaining part upon a
sound foundation of learning and sci,
ence."

The BEARD.--A writer in the Lynn
Reporter says:
The deaths by consumption have de-
creased some so per cent. per annum
among the stone-cuttors of Quincy,
Milton, Rockport, and the marble
works of Vermont, since they have
ceased shaving and give nature her
sway in matters she may be supposed to
understand, Workmen in Western
flour mills, colliors in numerous mines
of the Middle States, miners at Galena,
Dubuque and the copper regions of
Lake Superior, employees in drug mills,
drivers, engineers, arctic navigators,
residents, of low wetcountries, and thuus-
ands of artisans whose employment is
prejudicial to healthy lungs generally
wear the mustache as a sanitary rather
than an ornamental appendage to the
face of manhood.

REMEDY FOR SCARLET FEVER
Parents should be very careful about
their children when this devouring
plague seizes them, and every good
mother should be prepared for it with
the following simple remedies:
lst. When a child is taken with the
fever, give it a dose of castor oil; if
the body shows a flush color, have
pot of saffron tea made and give it to
the child to drink This will drive the
eruption out.
I'd. Have warm baths for their
feet; keep it warm, and the room un-
der proper temperature.
Sd. When the eruption is out
grease the whole body with bacon fat
and keep the body open. Then call
for a doctor if the throat should get
sore.

EFFECTS OF MENTAL DEPREssIoNs.
Mental dopressions, sorrow, grief, de-
spair and fear are sometimes the cause
of deranged and disorderod stomach
and bowels, The protracted operation
of sorrow is exceedingly liable to in
duce dyspepsia and all its consequent
ces There is hardly any part of the
body, or any function, in fact that
grief will not injure or derange; but no
part or function feels its depressing ef-
fects more than the stomach and other
digestive organs, We could refer to
dozens of medical authors who tell us
that long-continued grief and anxiety
of mind weaken the tone Of the stom-
ach, destroy the appetite and digestion,
and occasion great number of morbid
symptoms. Chronic Inflammation,
schirrus, and even cancer of the stom-
ach, will succeed deep and continued
grief.

To KEEP BUTTER CooL.-Put the
butter into plate; Set it in cool place,
turn over it an earthornware vessel, not
glazed. A hower-pot with a cork in the
hole is the best. Pour water on the top
of the vessel until it is thoroughly wet
1t is better if the butter is put in a
small plate, or saucer, and this set in a
large plate, which should be full of wa
ter.
o IF thus prepared at night the butter
will be cool and hard in tho morning;
and by repeating the wettings of the
crock or hower-pot three times q day,
hard and nice butter may be had at
every meal. A similar plan will keep
milk sweet all day in the hottest weather.

Of hogs were carried away. The dam

washed away together with several
others The old tow-path bridge over

men and a boy, all Of whom got safe to

miles east of Washington, and several

gentlemen, they now go to an army of
receivers, registers, land clerks, &C., &c.
and the land becomes the capital stock
ofroilroad corporations and the property
Of nonresident proprietors, spectators
and laud-sharks. Under the present
system, thousands Of acres Of timber
lands without a cabin or "deadening,
and millions Of acres Of unbrokcn prair-
les are held by spectators, and block
and retard the progress of settlements.
The Republican party, composed Of
Wings aud Democrats, would also be
prepared to consider the Tariff question,
without bias and in q spirit Of modera-
ton. 1t would also be prepared to
consider the great question, whether
the gradual colonization of the negro
population Of the United States in the
Central American States could be pro-
NOTED, aud whether that population,
which was now kept down by the feel
ing of caste and by the prejudicos Of
education, might not be made useful
and Independent citizens Of dourishing
States in another latitude.
In continuation, he said they would
then solve the great problem Of the age
"a Pacific Railway, with its outskirts
Of mail routes and settlements, not on
some devious course, through deserts
along the Mexican boundary, but on
that line, in whatever latitude it may
be, that the skill Of engineers should
select as the best.
The Republican party would also be
prepared to consider whether the nests
of greedy Office. holders gathered in the
post-oficos might not be routed, and
their duties performed by private en-.
terpriso organized under Government
control.
