Desperate disorders require desperate
remedies. Aman with bankruptcy staring
him in the face, may be allowed resort
to almost any sacrifice to avert the threat
ened doom. Still, there is limit to the
eKpedients resorted to even in the worst
Of cases. A captain with shipwreck in the
lee of his chip would scarcely throw over
bOsrdIhis sheet anchor, however much he
might wish to tighten his craft, nor would
it be thought advisable in drowning
wretch to LET 90 his hold of plank for
the purpose Of catching ct straw. And
yet, according to the programme laid down
by James Brooks in a late speech, the
Democratic party is placed in precisely
sueh fix. To let 60 the African from the
Democratic political creed, as he proposes,
and henceforth act IS if that distin-
guished sable gentleman was dead, would
be on par with proposition made by an
old Pennsylvania dutchmsU, one Hans
Diedrich, in the extremity Of ntight
place he was in, addressed to his wife.
Hans had been for some time engaged IN
the manufacture Of Woolen cloth, but
though he was both industrious and eco-
nomieal, and made use Of all the known
appliances pertaining to the trade, the
business did not pay. At length, after ez-
hsusting every imaginable expedisnt, and
fast Terging to the point Of despair-for
ell his means were invested in the manu-.
facture, so that hopeless ruin seemed to
state him in the face, no matter whether
he went on or gave the business up. A
bright idea ell ct once struck him like
flash, and spread its refulgent beams in q
jolly and intensely satisfied smile over his
osre-Worn face. Wedding off to the pres
enoe Of his wife as fast Is his rather short
legs would permit he cried out in a voice
of delighed ferVOr, "Dunder and blitzenl

queried his vroW, in pucker Of eager sus-

Another OhIs German Paper on the ProsI-

Another Ohi0 German Paper on the Presi-
dental Quesrion.
The Wsechter sm Erie, the leading Ger
man radical paper Of Northern Ohio,
warns the German Radicals against listen
ing to any appeals to divide the Union
party Of the North. "Least Of all, says
the Waechtsr, adoss division Of the Union
party advance the interests Of the Radical
Germans. The only effect Of such divis-
would be to advance the interests Of the
COpperhsads and compel the Baltimore
Convention into more conservative posi-
ton, without advancing the purposes Of
the Radicals" The Waeohter recommends
the adoption Of radical programme in
anticipation Of the Baltimore Convention,
but not a position which viii prevent the
Radicals from supporting the nominee Of
that Convention.
This is eminently wise and sensible, and
shows that If there be some Of the Ger
mans that are bent on running an inde-
pendent candidate, there are others who
have no sympathy with SO reckless poll
cy and will oppose it with sll their power.
The great problem to be settled is; Can the
rebel armies be defeated; can their mill
tary strength be overthrown? That prob
lem is not to be solved BY the adoption Of
what are called mora radical views on the
question of slavery. The army Of the Re
public, backed up by all the anti-slsvsry
measures Of the President and Of Congress,
is as much of an abolitionist as it is pos
sible to create st the present time. Nc
one hes any doubt but thstevery Southern
State will be free State, as soon as their
armies are subdued and the people are al
lowed to return to their old place in the
Union.
We hail this expression Of the Wsechter,
and the adjournment Of the Convention,
called by the Cleveland Radicals for the
Sd Of April, as an evidence that they dc
not cOuntensnce any measures looking for
ward to division in the ranks Of all good
loyal, Union men. In this, they have the
sympathy of the country at large.

@he New Regime, the new paper recent
Iy started in Norfolk, Va, tells the follow
ing story;
Everybody knows Mr.. Charles "Forbes'
Clsffey, Of the st. Nicholas Hotel, New
York, and with what grace and courtesy
he presides over the gentlemen's great par
lor Of that estsblishment-his tasty dress,
and grand gold chain, the London-made
watch les true as the sun), the brilliant
diamond studs, and the glitteripe ring
on the little finger Of his right hand. He
was here, last week, sttired in AckeTman's
best, and decorated in TiHsny's brightest,
and suffered with us, in common, during
the recent "oOld snap" at the Atlantic
Hotel. To Mr.. Forbes Clsffey's imsgins-
tion, the Atlantic bitches. He prom Oune-
ed the beds hard, the heating contrivances
Of the inn bad, decidedly, and the servants
dull. He never could get his eggs done to
suit him.
On Friday last he called Apollo, an old
darkey, and stated his grievance. " Here. "
said he, to the servant, "take my watch,
and boil my eggs with it just three min
utes."
Yes, mssss," said Apollo. "Tll do that
ar" and 30 saying he bounded off to the
kitchen. In due time he returned, three
eggs on one plate, and the smoking wstch
and chain on another.
"My good man." shouted Mr.. Forbes
Claffey, "what have you done2p
"Jus what de mssss tOl me; boil dem
eggs with it, jus tree minutes, as you said
massa."
The guests saw what had happened, and
the table Was in q roar, Of course. Apollo
alone stood mute. He seemed searching in
his stithy Imagination for some solution oi
the sudden merriment ct the breakfast Ia.
BILE. Mr.. Forbes ClsfEey could not refrain
from laughing at last and turning to his
neighbor he said:
al an in the condition Of the profsnt
man, the tsil-bosrd of whose cart csmC
out he WAS ascending the hill, and spill
ed his potatoes, There was no use Of
swearing; cannot do Justice to the sub
ject." And so saying he poeketsd hii
watch and proceeded to devour his morn
ing meal.

Ho.eI Lac yersus none. 10 New Yorl

Our great need is more private houses,
and more families with grace and good
sense, and good taste to live in them. The
growing preference for hotel life, for the
mere purpose Of avoiding trouble" or in
other words Of Sinking every duty in life
but that Of eating and drinking, and wear
ing fine clothes, is one Of the curses Of
New York, and is doing 8 serious injury
to the whole community. There can be
nothing worse for women than an idle life
in hotel, without q single serious object
fer their thoughts, and without single
duty to perform that affords the slightest
amount Of exercise for either mind or body.
There can be nothing worse for children
than to grow up without the knowledge Of
what q home is, without any Of its in
huences or associations, and without any
more endesring and eleVsting remembran-
ces Of boyhood or girlhood than those of
hotel "feeds," and the noise, and glare,
and heat, and dirt of hotel corridors and
psrlors, and the folly, and frivolity, and
Vulgarity Of the promiscuous crowd that
throng them. And yet, our hotels contain
large numbers Of families who are not
compelled to live in them, either from con-
siderstions Of health or economy. We
venture to assert that at least one.third Of
the hotel bosrders are persons who ode
cline housekeeping as the advertising
phrase is, simply-to speak plainly
though lszinessj through deliberate pre-
ference Of personal ease to the claims Of
both family and friends. There is nothing
clearer than that it is the duty Of every
family, and especially of every American
family, that can possibly afford it, to have
home Of its own, and to use it, not simply
for the comfort Of its own members, but as
means Of giving pleasure to friends and
relatives, and as q means Of setting an ex-
ample to the whole community Of the do
mestie virtues and grsoes.-Mep York
