Is Don't Do It! a
| When one who declared that Lincoln's
election provoked and justified Secession
and Disunion, asks you to sign a polite
al call, don't do it!
When one who wanted to coax trait
ors to desist from firing ON the flag, seiz-
ing the tortresses and robbing the arsen-
ais of your country by kicking the New
England States out of the Union and
fagrceing that the SHAREHOLDERS might
take their chattels into every State and
,plant their ''institution' in every Terri
Ittory of the Union, asks you to unite
with him in a political movement, don't
do it! ..
When one who declared the War for
The Union unjust, and proclaimed on
the streets that the rebels were fighting
for the defense of their rights and their
homes, asks you to unite with him in an
avowal of political sentiment and pur-
poso, don't do it
When one who steadfastly insisted
throughout our great struggle that the
Rebels were always victorious-that our
arms made no progress-that our Ma
tional Debt would inevitably he rpudi-
ated-that the Union could only be re-
stored by first giving it up as lost and
then asking the victors to let us creep IN
at the back door of their triumphant
Confedcracy, now urges you to sympa-
thize and fraternize with him in de-
nouncing US traitors and disunists the
foremost champions of Liberty and
Union, now and for ever, one and inscp-
aable," don't you do it! 5''
When one who denounced and raved
at the Emancipation policy of President
Lincoln as unconstitutional and suicidal
who declared that it had "unitcd the
South and divided the North'-that we
could never succeed till it was repudiat-
ed--that, If Lincoln was reelected, the
Union would nCvCr be restored-now
wants you, to play second to his first,
don't you begin to do it! -..l,'

BREEDING CANAKIrs.--Su cunarics
should be paired until they are ut least
two years old, for not until that period
may they be said to be in full vigor.--
Whatever color Is chosen, especial care
should be taken to select birds of the
largest and longest feathers. Some pco-
pie turn a number Of canaries indiscrim-
inately into a room, and leave them to
pair as they will. This is kind-very; !;
but it is not wise. BY properly pairing
! them, Or ut least some Of them, in small
separate cages, and when paired allow
ing them to come together, each swain
then vows eternal fidelity, and is 'true, y
with some few exceptions, to his lawful
spouse. Thus alone can the pecnliarity
| Of feather and caste be properly preserve
ell. If male gray be united with Il
mcaly hen, or lice ucrsa, the issue will
be more handsomely marked than their
parents. BY carrying out this principle,
which il cordially recommended to all
who can give their time to it, results
may be prodnced Of truly interesting
character. Birds Of every shade and
every tint, may be reared; in fact, such
combinations are inexhaustible.

. SALT IN FA1'rENfNd CATTLE.-SOmo
Interesting experiments to test the use
of salt I'm fattening swine, have recently
been made. Two pairs OF barrow hogs.
weighing 200 pounds apiece were select
cd. One pair received, with their daily
allowance of food, two ounces Of salt:
the other pair, similarly fed, none: In
the course of a week it was easily seen
that the salted pair had a much stronger
appetite than the others, and after
fortnight 1t was increased to two ounces
piece, after four months the weight OF
the salted hogs was $50 pounds each.
while that of the unsalted, five weeks La.
ter, reached only 800 pounds. The same
experiment was reached with almost
the same results. Feed young pigs ac-
cording to their age, aauarter Ofan ounce
daily; breeding sows very little during
pregnancy, and during the heat Of sum-
mer withhold it in degree from all, ~

THE SiAMEsE TWINS EcLIPsED.-Two
negro children are now on exhibition at
Raleigh, n G., that excite much curios-
ity. They are l4years of age, and were

The Standard speaks Of them as follows:
1.-THE connection between these girls
is closer than in the Siamese twins,
there being more of the physical and
mental organs common to each. The
connection begins below the neck and
terminates at the extremity Of the spine.
To touch one at any point Of her body
below the connection sends a sensation
to the brain of each; while q touch of
either above the connection is felt by
that one only. They can talk to differ

The Influence ortbe press.

The Earl of Straftesburg, in his recent in
langural address before the Social Science
Congress in Manchester, England, said:

Influence of the Press is less than in former
days. The influence of the Press in all its
various forms and ramifcations, or journals,
pamphlets and periodicals, has increased, is
Increasing. and can never be diminished =
Doubtless social science has some business
here; how we may act cannot say; but what
we sould desire is to see the Press entrusted to
the stoutest inelects, the highest morals, and
the truests hearts in the country. The spring
tide OF sef-con6dent Democracy is now at
hand, aud see no other hope save this (and
it is feeble one) for national aud individual
liberty for external aud Internal peace, and
for the grand though holnely issue of Live
and let live. But the editors of the British
journals tnd let me include those marvellous
men, and the body Of the reporters,) have
never been deaf to the claims OF humanity and
Justice, to cries such as those which are sent
forth from these halls; nor will they he so
now when we appeal to them to do that which
no statntes no edicts Of Privy Councils nor
Acts of Parliament can achieve, to reprove,
rebuke, eXhait, with AL yigor and persevei-
ance.

Tie Flower Girls of Florence.

Mr.. Sala, who has been strolling in Lung
Arno, says: Though flower girls still drive
their old trade with the same sort of angu:d
interest which is characteristic of Florence,
and OF Florence alone. AS you are walking
in the streets, or driving in the gardens, or
breakfast in a cafe, young ladies, whose dress
is cross between a Tuscan contadina and a
Partisan grisette. step up, and present you
with pink or rosebud and then glide away
with smile as if you had conferred a great
favor OF them by accepting it. 1t is indeli-
cate to offer payment on the spot; it is i'm pos
slble to refuse present for which you are
charged nothing. But at some period or
other previous to your departure, you are ex-
pected to make present to the lady or ladies
whom you have honored with your patronage.
How long the supply of flowers would con-
tinue if you made no corresponding donation,
or how little you can give without being con-
sldered mean, are questions on which have
often pondered without coming to any con-
clusion, excepting that, putting sentiment
aside, the ready money system is in the long
run the cheapest"

Eject of stopping the sunday Cars
From the Philadelphia Press.

The tavern-keepers in various parts of the
city are rejoicing in the success Of their cleri-
cal friends in having secured their injunction
against the running of the Sunday cars
The Increase of their business, they allege,

movement.

ty-sixth ward informed us yesterday that on
each of the two Sundays that the cars have
stopped, the receipts at his bar almost quad
rupled that of any one Sunday when the cars
We're running.
Most of the men in his neighborhood, he
said, whilst the cars ran, availed themselves
of the opportunity to take their families tc
Paramount Park or to visit their distant rea-

heretofore in the different taverns in their
peghborhond, and pass the day in the discus

lating to the singular affair Mr. c. CONVEX
sed with the farmer, and here is the story in
short.
The farmer IA Pennsylvanian) went to bed
during the heavy and protracted storm Mon
day night, and dreaming that the fill across
the ehasin, some hundred feet deep had given
way under passenger train, and let it down
into the abyss, he sprang to render assistance
to the passengers, ran to the door, and was
fastening from the house, when his wife "a
Weakened hin He related the dream, and
went to bed again, but slept very little more
during the night. The dream made such a
deep impression on his mind that he fastened
to the chasm next morning early, to see what
condition it was in; but the road was appar-
emily alright, although the water was pour
ing and Singing through the large culvert be-
meath as though it would wash the earth away.
Tuesday night the farmer could not rest for
thinking about his dream of the proceeding
night, and getting up he procured his lantern
and hurried off to the cliasm. When he ar
rived there he found to his terror, that the
huge fill had been washed out, leaving moth
ing but the unsupported ties and track over
the chasin. Hearing the train laundering to-
ward destruction the farmer clambered across
the dreadful break, and running down the
road some distance, he signalledthe approach
ing train to stop. Aud so short was the time
that by the time the engineer was able to
hold up, the engine was hit a few feet off
from the chasn 3s.fe fss5.t8f +

persons who had been to the great Union

What a narrow escape they all made from

to death in the ruins sgs sA

The Fortresses of the QuadriIateral.

The London Times of October 18th saws
"The surrender of the fortresses Of the Quad
rllateral is proceeding at a rapid rate.
Peschiera was already in the hands of an
Italian garrison yesterday, and Mantua is to
be given up to-day. The Italians receive
those redoubted stroughods intact, and with
all their mate,iei, from the hands of their
late enemies, and any strength hitherto pos
sessed by the latter within their territory is
added to whatever they had gained by their
nnhcatan from 1914 to 1862 and more than
doubles it. All this vast accession of military
power this en6drrds de. foytresses, comes to
them at a time in which all prospects of it
ever being put to any practical use seem to
vanish; when on the one side the Italians
hear that the era of German battles on
italian ground is at an end, and when, on
the other, the nature OF their relations with
France precludes all possibility of their offer
ing any provocation to that Power or of re.
senting any from it, Even with the best as
surance of a peaceful future, however, it be-
hooVes free people to prepare against war;
like contingencies; and although it would be
sheer madness on the part of the Italians to
think Of the construction of so formidable
system of defence, if it did not exist, or had
been abandoned to them all shattered and
dismantled, it would be no less arrant folly
TO raze all those bastiona to tho ground, as it
has been suggested, or even suffer them to go
tc decay. The only reasonable question that
can arise is as to which of those fortresses may
be worth keeping up, or, in other words,
which of them should be considered as ne
cessary part Of the national defenees of the
reunited Peninsula"
