MODERN DEMocRACY.--The federalism
of 1872 was opposition to the war for the
maintenance of the National honor, and
wis bitterly detounccd by the democracy
of that day. The Hartford Convention
lists have been, from that time, the most
odiouS of all the schools ever in existence
in the United States, and deServcdly so.
Their opposition to the war did not en-
danger either the form or the pcrpetuity
of the Government; an honorable peace
was obtained, notwithstanding, but the
actors in the convention were consigned
to the infamy to which an impartial his
tory will inevitably assign all their imita-
tors. The present war is not only for the
justification of national honor, but for the
very life of the nation itself. The self
styled democrats" the usurpers Of the
name, in 1868, who clamor for peace, are
the Hartford Conventionists of 1872.
They oppose the war, which in all ma
tional, political, and humanitarian conse-
qucnccs, rises thousand fold in impor-
tance above that of 1912. They w-uld
give up struggle which involves disas-
ter compared with which the total defeat
of all our forces in 1912 would have been
of the merest insignifcance. Copper
headism is the only sinking carcass of
Federalism, resurrected and adopted by
the degenerate descendants of its old cne-
mies.-Oregon Statesman.

CARNIvERoUs.-Thc people of San
Francisco arc great beef eaters. The B"l-
htjn gives the following facts and figures:
"Cattlc killed for months, average
5000 per month, 27,OO0; cattle killed for
3 months, average 1900 per month, 5000.
Estimated average weight per animal dur
ing the year, 475 pounds, or l5,615,000
pounds of beef. Calves, average slaugh-
tered per day, Is, for 3l2 days, $4,000 an
imals, average weight, l50 pounds, or
3,49j,0OO pounds. Sheep, average slaugh-
tercd per day, 200 for 3l2 days, 62,400
animals of 40 pounds average weight, or
2,49G,OOO pounds. Hogs, average num-
Der per day (not including those killed
expressly for packing) 300 animals, say
3l2 days, $4,000 animals averaging l50
pounds, OF l4,O4O, 900 pounds, the whole
making q total of 35,7O6,000 pounds,
making all average of 1882 pounds Of
meat consumed per day during the entire
wear of $G5 days. This seems to be
very large average daily consumption for
a city Of about 100000 souls, especially
when taken in conjunction with the great
quantity OF fish, game aud poultry used
during a portion Of the yc;tr; Butchers,
however who are engaged III retailing
meat, say that large proportion of the
rough or coarse meat is wasted or fed to
hogs, as there is no demand for it fresh,
and no sale for it at rcmunera:ive prices
when saltcd. 1t is IA matter of considera-
bic interest to our citizens as well Us to
the butchers, that some way should be
found by which large wastage can be
stopped, as the roughcr portions of ami
mails being unsalcable, the finer parts
have to bring an enhanced price to pay
for the loss"

The SWORD OF MoNTGoMERY.-An inter-
esting rcminiscence of bygone days - the
sword of General Montgomery, one of the
leaders of the frustrated American attack on
Qucbcc-has elected the following remarks
from correspondent to a Western cotem-
porary:
An Avon correspondent, who was recently
at Quebec, writes: "Are you aware that the
sword of Montgomery is still kept in Quebec
On visit there, few days ago, / was in
formed on credible authority that Canadian
there still retains the Identical weapon which
his father took from the body of Montgomery
on the morning after he fell. The statement
was that this man went out early in the NOR.
ming to see what had been done, and found
the body partly frozen. lie took the sword
and kept it lie lived to an old age, and then
bcqucathcd it, with n written statement of all
the circumstances, to his son, who has pre-
served them to this time. Is not this matter
worth an examination: l mentioned it to
the American Consul there, Mr.. Ogden, who
seemed to be aware Of it. 1t would electrify
the heart of every patriot to have brought
home, at this late day, the sword which Mont
gomcry carried to the walls Of Quebec. l
tried to see it, but failed on account Of miss
ing all appointment, and coming away that
day had no further opportunity"

The Cathedral Of Cologne.

This magnificent cathedral, founded in
l24S, and respecting which well-known
legend exists, to the effect that the archl-
tect tricked his Satanic Majesty out of the
plans, and that he in revenge destroyed
the architect, and vowed that his name
should be obliteratcd from the memory of
men, and that the work should never be
completed, has now; utter the vicissitudes
of more than six centuries, SO far ap-
preached completion, that the nave and
transept have been declared to be finished.
The long promised celebration of this
great event was commenced on Wehes-
day last, oil the morning Of which day all
the bells in the city rang joyful peals, and
the citizens decorated and behagged their
houses and the streets, while thousands of
people from far and near poured in to
witness the celebration: For many
years societies have been in operation
throughout Prussia for the purpose of
raising the funds necessary to complete
the great work, and among the great num-
Der of the societies, who were distinguish
ed by wearing laurel leaf in button
hole. At the west gate of the cathedral
assembled all the notables amongst whom
were many of the Kings Ministers), and
at one side were stationed the celebrated
Bhoral Society, the Kolmer Manner-Ges-
angvcre:n, and at the other an orchestra.
"l5usiness which could not be postponed"
prevented the King from being present,
but the Queen was represented by the
Countess Won Iackc, one Of Her Majes-
tvs ladies of honor, who was commits
sionied to attend and report progress to
the Queer, and to express; Her Majesty's
regret that she could not be present: A
procession, which occupied nearly an hour
in drfilins, started from Nemnarkt soon
after nine o'clock, and marched into the
cathedral, whilst the Choral Society sang
a cantata composed for the occasion, and
the bande, stationary and paripatetic,
made the air melodious with their joyous
strains. The Cardinal Archbishop Won
Geissel preached a sermon, a Te Dcum
was sung, and at the conclusion OF. the
service document commemorative OF the
celebration was deposited in d stone.
This document, which was signed by the
King on Tuesday during a short visit to
Cologne, contains long historical ac-
count of the cathdral, and concludes as
follows: "To the eternal commemoration
of the completion of the cathedral of
Cologne, and with the wish that the con-
struction may progress happily and un-
disturbedly till the great western tower Is
carried up to the destined hight, 800 feet.
This document was signed by His Maj
esty King William l, on the 18th October,
1868, during His Majcsty's presence i'll
Cologne; and afterwards, on the 18th OF
the same month, on the birthday of the
royal protector of the cathedral, King
Frederick William ", of Prussia, now
resting i'll God, was undersigned and de-
posted in the finishing stone OF the great
transept arch" The commemorative pro:
cecding were afterwards continued, and
were to last three days.

NATURAL BARoMETEtts.- Chick-wecd
is an excellent barometer. When the
flower expands fully, we arc not to ex-
pect rain for several hours should i con-
tinue in that state. no rain will disturb
the summers day. When it half con-
ccals its miniature flower, the day is gen.
orally showcry; but if it entirely shuts
up, or walls the white flower with its green
mantle, let the traveller put on his great
coat. The different species of trcfoils al
ways contract their leaves at the rpproach
of storm so certainly does this take
place that these plants acquired the name
of the hllsbandman's barometer. The
Tulip, and several of the compound ycl-
low flowers, all close before rain. There
is a species of wood sorreI which doubles
its leaves before storms. The baiihiriri
or mountain ebony, capital and sensitive
plants, observe the same habits.

No CHILDHooD.-We talk of Adam and
Eve, says an exchange, rs having been before
the Fall in n very happy condition but one
thing they missed-thcy never were children
Adam never played hockey. he never
drove tandem Of boys with a string; he
never skated on pond, or played ball, or
rode down hill on a hand sled. And Eve
never made play house and she never took
tea with another little girl, from tea table
set out with the tea things; she never rolled
a hoop, or jumped the rope, or pieced baby
quilt or dressed doll. They never played
blind mans buff, or pussy wants corner, or
hurly-burly, or any Of the games with which
childhood disports itself. How blank their
age must have been within no memories of
early youth came swelling up their hearts
no visions of childhood floating back from the
long past no mothers voice chanting lul-
laby to the ear of infancy in the still hour Of
night; no fathers words of kindness speak
ing from the churchyard where he sleeps.
Adam and Eve, and they alone of all the
countless millions of men and women that
have ever lived, had no childhood.

From door to door,

To gain pittance for the days support.

Though We may call
Such of Gods creatures pOor-for poor they are
And objects of our sympathy aud care
These are not all;
A gentlcr, pufcr sorrow earth conccals
Which Heaven only to its few rcrcHs.

And Sllu appearances thcy cHuho' h"c'
