her work table, with her little basket upon
it, and the book she had been reading, with
little ribbon to mark the place! There OH

Quite a. Difference.

The following is from the Washington
City Chronicle, Rep.):
''At all elections, national or State, for
many years back, it has been customary for
heads of bureau clerks, and other employees
of the Government, to organize, contribute
money, publish and distribute documents,
and also to go home and vote at closely con-
tested elections. On account Of the exis-
tence of the war, the force of clerks in de-
partments has been more than quadrup'ed,
and hence the organization of clerks from
the several States has been powerful means
of advancing the Republican cause in the
late campaign.
The difference between the clerks under
Lincoln and those under previous Presidents
lies in the fact that the latter paid their own
expenses from and back to Washington,
when they went to vote, while the former
were paid their transportation out Of the
public treasury. The Democratic clerks
taxed themselves. The Lincoln clerks taxed
the people. Quite difference both in pock-
ct and principle. Gin. Eng.

Changes In the Cabinet.

A meeting was held on Wednesday at the
Hot-Cor Exchange in Philadelphia, which
resolved that Mr. John W. Forney was the
most fit and desertless' man to go into
President Lincoln cabinet as Secretaryeit
er Of the Interior or of the Navy. AS Sec
rotary Stanton 'still lives" this must be ta-
ken, for the present, as simply graceful
compliment from the hot-corn venders of the
City of Brotherly Love to q journalist whom
they delight to honor
Private kilograms from Colorado mention
thot the friends of w. Cornell Jewett in
that territory engaged in the gum-drop busi-
ness held a similar meeting recently at Ra-
coon Hollow, and nominated that estimable
diplomatist as the successor of Mr. Secreta-
ry Seward.
We presume that both appointments will
receive the most serious consideration from
the President, notwithstanding the malig-
nant hostility with which both would be re-
ceived by the pumpkin-planters of Massa-
chusetts, who are pressing Mr.. Garrison
with great unanimity for the State Depart
ment, and PRATT, the American traveller,

Agriculture i'm tae Old Countries.

Crowded as England is with hungry
population, five per cent. of her soil is not
under cultivation. Yet the proportion of
the cultivated to the uncultivated land is
higher in England than in any other coun-
try in Europe. In Russia, less than one
fifth of the soil is under cultivation; in Swe-
den onc-seventh; in Austria and Holland
one-ffth; in Switzerland, one,fourth; in
France ftty-four hundredths. There is re-
ally no need of emigration In England as
appears by Parliamentary report, there
are sixteen millions Of acres, wholly unpro-
ductiye, that might easily be made produc-
tive. The reason why these acres are per-
mitted to he unimproved is that as soon as
they are enclosed, and before they can be
sufficiently reclaimed to produce a paying
crop, they become subject to tithe and tax
Hence, only men of large capital dare un-
dertake the task, and they prefer to invest
the capital where the return is more speedy
and more certain.

Democratic Paper i'm Ashtabula.

In business letter from friend in Ash
4, tabula county, we are informed that there is
an effort being made, which promises to be
successful, to start q Democratic paper in
that county, and that it will be placed upon
basis that will enable it to 60 ahead. We
are glad to learn this. As The journal
chronicles with infinite satisfaction the sus-
pension of every Democratic paper that
comes to its knowledge, it is not expected
wishes for success. The Mcclellan vote in
Ashtsbula was l,042. There are only FIVE
counties in the State that gave smaller dem
ocratic;vote. The determination exhibited
by the Democrats Of Asbtabula to increase
their efforts in behalf Of the cause Of De-
mocracy should serve as stimulus to
Democrats in other counties to give to their
organs more substantial support than at
any former prfica. = state0nan. n

Fixing the Responsibility.

We used to be told that the only reason
why the rebellion was not suppressed two
years ago, was the sympathy shown for
it by the 'Coppcrheads. y We are glad to
correct this misapprehensio on the authori4
ty of James Watson Webb, Republican
Minister to Brazil, who imposes the sole
responsibility on fereign nations. He says:
IF foreignnations had shown the same re-
spect for international rights, which they,
have displayed toward rebellion and civil
war, the rebellion would have been suppress
sed more than two years ago, with but a
small portion of the sacrifice which we have
been obliged to make That let's out the

The Richmond Enquirer and
the New York HnCendiary Plot.

Tho Richmond Eaq,ti:er of Saturday, the
4th inst, has an editorial article on the late
fires in New York, rilcaling the affair, and
concluding as follows: -.
"Of course it was rebel incendiary plot.
Did not they fire on Fort Sumter where
fioated the Old Fiag?' A morality that
does not restrain violence to the emblem of
the best government, etc, etc, will hard
ly be proof against the sin of burning Ho-
tels.-Nothing can be clearer than the proof
of the completely of MIR. Davis in the burn
ing or attempts to burn some half dozen Eo-
tells in New York. We have never read
anything more truly 'Yankeeish' than this
whole. We are very glad to see that all the
Southern refugees are required to register
themselves. If General Dix will hang them
he will do service to our cause. A set Of
cowardy sneaks who have deserted their
country are not above burning hotels. We
hope General Dix will hang every mother S

a Strike Among the Newspapers.

We notice that the Cincinnati Enquirer
and Columbus Statesman have raised the
price of their wceklics to s., So The Chica-
60 papers have raised to $500. Even at
these prices newspaper publishing is rather
losing business. The Ashtabula Sentinel
says the cost Of publishing a country news,
paper at present prices of Paper, Labor and
every thing connected with the business, Is
81, for each subscriber, for which most
publishers receive $500, being dead loss
Of II cents for every subscriber. While
everything else has raised 800 and 400 per
cent, newspapers have only raised about 33
per cent. A printer may be chameleon
and live on air-which costs nothing-but
he cannot pay out more than he gets in, as
the suspension OF number Of papers eff
fectually proves. --Hockng Sentinel

pounds OF salt, one third pound of sugar,
one half ounce of saltpetrc, one half ource
of potash. In this ratio the pickle to be
increased to any quantity desired. Let
these he boiled together, until all the dirt
from the sugar rises to the top and is skinl-
med off Then throw it into tub to cool,
and when cold, pour it over your beet or
pork, to remain the usual time, say four or
five weeks. The meat must be well covered
with pickle, and should not be put down for
at least for two days after killing, during
which time it should be slightly sprinkled
with powered saltpetre, which removes all
the surface blood. &c, leaving the meat
fresh and clear. Some omit boiling the
pickle, and find it to answer well; though
the operation of boiling purifes the pickle
by throwing off the dirt always to be found
in salt and sugar.

A Remarkable Confession OF the
Secretary of the Treasury.

The Secretary of the Treasury makes the
remarkable confession that, if the people
had only foreseen the vast expenditures of
this war, they rrould never. have engaged in
it. He says. in speaking of the war in its
commencement:
Had it been then foreseen that what was
believed to be contest for months was to
be continued for years, and that hundreds
of millions of public debt would be swollen
into thousands of millions before the close of
that contest, it may we'll be doubted wheth-
err, ignorant as they were of their own i'm
mense resources, the people might not have
shrunk appalled, from an undertaking which
contemplated a sacrifice so far exceeding all
former experience.
This draws from him the remark that it
was fortunate the people were so ignorant.
Hear him;
"Unaccostomcd for long course Of years
to great national efforts, it was fortunate
that their power of endurance should be
tested only by degrees, as the struggle which
Providence had prepared for them develop
ed its vast proportions and the necessity of
great and long continued effort became ap-
paraut.
We never before heard of national short
sightedness and ignorance being made sub
ject of congratulatlon. Gin. Eng.

BRICK PoMERoY, Of the La Crosse Wis
Democrat. urging the adoption of the cash
principle upon his brother editors, gets of
the fo,lowing:
He is poor patron Of any place or enter
prise who never pays. Such patronage
wears credit threadbare. If man is good,
he can pay to-day as well as tomorrow. II
he is nct good, you lose money by trusting
him 1t costs more to collect little bills than
they are worth; men think to themselves,
1T is but little | owe to the editor, he sore
ly dou want or need that!" And as men
think about paying such little debts the edi-
toris always in hard lack, Others say, "0h,
! pay Tor my paper in political influence"
Who made the political influence but the
very editor they sponge upon? Another
man is friend of the editor, and thus wants
paper for nothing. And so he cats up the
profit of Il halt dozen papers.
No class of men in the world do as much
work for nothing, as editors They must
puff this and that-must publish weddings
and deaths-must call public meetings
must attend to school and church interests
must give to charlty--pay taxes-be ours
ed more than other peoplc--trust more men
have more poor debts than any other busi-
ness men in the community.

T'be for Horses.

The King was doubtless sorely pushed
when he exclaimed IA horse, horse, my
E;nrdom for A horse" and another king
only paid Just tribute to this noble animal,
when he exclaimed
"And only won the battle
By force Of my good steed." L.
The war in this country has created an
extraordinary demand for horses. Every
where the scarcity as well as high price of
horseAesh is appreciated. 1t behooves the
farmers everywhere to turn their attention
to the raising of horses. A writer in the

How to Keep Winter Apples.

An Ohio correspondent communicates
the following; A neighbor of mine, one year
ago, packed eight barrels of winter apples
with dry sawdust and left them headed up,
exposed to all the rigors of our last unusu,
ally cold winter. The result was, they were
taken out in the spring sound, and had re-
tained their favor better than if buried in
the ground or kept in cellar. Query-could
not grapes be kept in the same way? The
cabbages through the winter by packing
among refuse or leaves, head downward, in
boxes, each layer of heads with the stems
cut off near the head, and covered with loose
leaves of cabbage. Freezing will not injure
them when thus covered.

pg9hAh2y.

Administration journals are asserting
that Notwithstanding the devastation of the
last four years, we haze at present much
larger population than in 1860, and that this
appears conclusiyely from comparison OF
the votes cast at the Presidential elections
in 1854 and 1860. 1t has been suggested
that this apparent Increase Of population
arises from the fact that great many Of
those who voted ior Lincoln we're very care=
full to vote often. 1t is to be regretted that
we cannot now have an enumeration of all
the males over the age of twenty one. That
would settle the question as to whether our
voting population is larger now than it was
in 1860 - ,StNteSnlH1
