AT 1T AGAIN Abraham can still get of a
joke. He says, in his message
"Men readily perceive that they cannot
be much oppressed with a debt which they
owe themselves"
In other words, il you own a homestead
worth one thousand dollars, and possess
one thousand dollars in cash ; and il you
lend The thousand cash 10 Abraham with
which 20 operate against slavery, and Abra-
ham gives you his note, as your agent,
promising TO pay you when he receives that
amount in taxes from you, with a lien on
your thousand dollar homestead, as ul>
timaie security, then you can't be 'mnch
oppressed F" because you owe yourself the
thousand dollars cash, and il Abraham
can't gel taxes enough out of you TO pay
you. why yonr homestead is always full
security for .he amount. OF course, "men
readily perceive'' this, and feel perfect as
surance that they can't ''be much OPP
pressed" by it, for, don't you see, when
ever they begin 10 feel the pressure, they
can forgive themselves The debt, and-pres

Honest Republicans Deceived.

~
The Abolition parry, it would seem, from.
present indications in certain quarters, has
been greatly deceived. We mean more
particularly the honest portion OF that party,
for there are some honest and well meaning
men in the Republican ranks. The great
mass OF that party voted for the reelection

OF putting The rebellion out Of existence in
a very short time. They were taugh: 10 be-
lieve that the re. election of lincoln

tween the North and Soulh-pat an end TO

this matter is going can plainly be seen.

into the ears of the people for the las, three
years. These Abolition fanatics. knaves,

place the negro on an equality with the

well as ours, is thsi' equal and they shall
ENJOY all benefits that may be derived from
any social Intercourse that they may have

tbs TRIUMPH OF THE REPUBLIcAS PARTY
AND IT'S DEFEAT. II is 10 accordance with
the philosophy Of things that when a party
is elected TO power for the accomplishment
Of great ends and fails it will be swept out
Of existence. The Republican party was
The people believed tha, it would put down
the rebellion and bring back peace TO The
country ; bui It's victorious triumph will as
suredly prove a defeat. The frs! four years
oil rule left The rebellion unsurpassed, and
the people expect that the war will be clo-
sed within the first twelve months OF its
second term. If it is not-but If on the other
hand, a weak and hesitating policy shonld
insure four years more of internecine war
fare-the party will be swept off The earth
with a howl OF general execraIion. Even
if il should succeed in putting the rebellion
under within the coming year there will be
a reacton, financial and political, that will
cut its life shOrt-its utmost limit being the
expiration Of its supremacy in Office. There
ia a settled opinion that the radical portion
Of the Republican party is one Of the prin-
:cipal authors of the war, and when the ex
element consequent upon its progress is
over, and The account Of public debt comes
10 be settled, the day of reckoning will have
arrived. In sLy event, then, il will be found
that the triumph OF the Republican party is
virtually its defeai.-N Y. Herald.

SMOKE FOR THE CURE OF WoUSDs.-A cor
respondent of the Country Gentleman recon :
mends smoke as a cure for wounds in men
and animals. He says al cut my foot with
an axe. The lady of the house, s%iezing the
foot while it was yet bleeding freely, held
it over a pan containing smoking tag locks.
10 a few minutes the bleeding stopped, and
the smoke was removed, and a bandage
applied TO protect it from accidental blows.
The wound never suppuraled, and conse-
quently never panied me. | have seen the
remedy tried in many similar cases, and al
ways with the same results. Let the read
or bear in mind that no linime nj or saIve,
drawing or healing should be applied. You
have merely to smoke The wound well, and
nature will do the rest Isup2ose the smoke
of burning wood would produce the same
results, bnt it would not be so manageable.
There is a principle in the smoke of wool,
which, when applied TO the flesh, coagu-
lales The albumen, thus rendering it unsus-
ceptibIe of publication. The same princi-
pie stops bleeding by coagulaling the blood.
1t promotes healing, and may be applied
with decided benefit to all ulcers, wounds
and cutaneons Diseases"

which "involves the freedom and the
