Good men and great men are being put in power
by the people too, and bad men are removed, and
being removed, it is to be hoped until the people
can once more rejoice at liberty equality, fraternity
The cornerstone of a Republican Government is
the freedom of the people, Of the press and of

they are trampled under foot still it is as impossi.

bursts forth. Look at his procamations, in which

the sovereignty of the State His course will keen

handed down to posterity as star that shines no
less than the brightest
Again, sir, there is another, by name Alexander

Let the military crush out the civn power, and we

There is still another and you may put his name

in love with it and try none other ever after
Another plan highly spoken of for keeping pota-
toes is to take cotton seed and place layer on your
barn floor six inches thick, then place on your Do

cover six inches with the cotton seed and the work
is done. have never tried this plan myself but

Few WoRDs ABOUT CHIcoRY.-Chicory, Sue
cory (CichOriam Lnty6us) perennial herbaceous
plant indigenous to Europe but naturaized in this
country. 1t has been found that the root cut into
thin slices, roasted and ground, is an admirable sub
stitute for coffee; and, when combined with the lat
ter in the proportion of two to one improves the
flavor of coffee very much. In these blockade times,
when none but the wealthy can indulge in pure
coffee, the chicory, will be found to answer all its
purposes. Chicory is used to great extent in
Europe nd-throughout Germany coffee Is scarcely
ever prepared without the addition of portion of
it Several of our own citizens are now using CHI
cory, and speak of it in the highest terms.

THE YANKEE WAR DERT

L.
The New York Christian AdrOcate comments on
the enormous debt which this war is creating for
the North as follows:
They tell US of an expense of nearly seven hun
dred millions of dollars in year. Can we appre-
ciate such q sum-? How little do we know of the
distance to the sun? Ninety five millions of miles /!
Start railroad train for such a Journey Let II
stop at no planet for wood and water or passengers
Place on it little infant The infant becomes a
man, and reaches the allotted age of man but the
sun Is not reached. Let another take his place and
live his three score years and ten; another and an
other-and still with no pause for repairs or to cool
its burning axeS, and yet the journeys end is not
attained. The fifth mans dying eyes are looking
forward millions of miles for the journeys end
But we are here talking of seven hundred mil
lions-not Of ninety five.
For hundred years and more churches have been
gathering up property in the United States. Sub
scTiptions have been nobly decided dying men have
left their accumulations their loved churches and
in all this time the evangelical churches have got to-
gether about fifty millions ofproperty enough
to pay the price Of victory for one month
We have 4 missionary society. 1t gathers each
year from nearly million of people. 1t throws its
influence into nearly every part of the world. But
Its whole yearly revenue would endure the draft of
the United States Treasury but single hour.
Seven hundred thousand men are drawn from the
pursuits of industry Ii Is far more impoverisbine
than if half million of paupers we're thrown on rs
to suppor for then the aborers and producers would
remain at work. Now they are far worse than
idle. Their weapons are costly equipments: but
harvests perish and cities are ruined by their
presence.
England is contributing fearful amounts of want
and starvation to swell the price ofvictory France
loses the sale of twenty five millions ofits wares
and interior Europe and parts of Asia are paying
portions OF this stnpehdous cost of victory.

To DYE CoTToN OK Wool BRowN.-A lady friend

Take the bark of the root of common wild plum

dye looks almost black. Strain, and add small
quantity of coppcras dissolved in a small quantity
of the dye. Add the article to be dyed. Boil an
hour or so. Wiring out and dip in strong cold ley
When dry, rinse in cold water. This gives genu-
Inc, bright brown, which is the prettiest contrast
for blue; and when checked in together makes
dress becoming enough for the proudest Southern
