When to Revive the Democratic Party

Senator Sherman told this good thing
in his speech at Bridgeport, Conn, the
other day:
"A modern Democrat came to dis
tinguished Democrat of the State of
Ohio, Governor Todd.l last fall after
the war had ended, and said: Now my
friend, you supported Lincoln all thro'
the war; now the war is over; you have
had everything your own way and now
suppose we start again the old Ohio
Democratic party Well said the old
Ohio Democrat, Il don't know but that
would be good thing; like the Dem
ocratic party, was raised in it, and
stuck to it until it deserted the country
and went over to the rebels / don
know but it would be good thing to re-
vive and purify the old party; but
would not do it just yet
sAh.' said his friend, when would you
do it, then?
NY friend said the Ohio Democrat,
when the Union party shall have dis
charged in full, all the obligations it has
assumed during the war; when it shall
have paid all the pensions that are due
TO the widows of soldiers; when it shall
have paid every dollar Of the national
debt incurred during the war: when it
shall have punished all the rebels; when
in short, it shall have accomplished all
that il has promised to do, then I am
willing that the old Democratic party
shouln be revived. I am not willing to
trust the Democratic party to perform
obligations that they opposed in their
contracting. prefer to see it done my
seif-to pay ny Own debts myself"

Secure Your Furs.

About these days. albeit the March
winds battle for supremacy over April $
coy yet all alluriug sunshine. we all
have many an anxious thought concern
ing our change of vesture and conse
quent putting away Of furs and win
ter things, and none too early can these
prudent precautions be taken, How
many a princely set of sables or real err
mine has come forth in furry abjectness
because too late encased in its camphor
ated quarantine. TO be prompt and be
forehand is the only guarantee of safe
guardianship over your hairy treasures.
The miller moth will be seen on the
keen lookout for daity nest in which
TO deposit her mischievous larve. Du-
ring this time of reconnoitre lies the
principal period when precautions are
requisite.
This miller may be seen usually about
the middle or latter part of April, when
the first flush of Spring opens your doors
and windows, and bids her welcome to
your hospitality, inviting her. as it were
to the depths of your thrown aside fura,
whose sitting odor becomes well nigh
insupportable in the sultry softness of a
vernal atmosphere. Hide them at once,
Shake well; apply light switch cane
to the tippet and muf, cape or collar.
which has been so precious friend
while the ice king held court over his
frozen realm. Air them, but do not
leave them swinging from an open win
dow. No situation could prove more
direct invitation to the dreaded enemy.
Have your cedar chest or your tightly
closing trunk free from dust; sew up
your furs either in linen, or well wrap
them IN papers, putting in their folds
pieces of gum camphor, also wrapped
up TO prevent too rapid evaporation
Lay them away. not allowing anything
very heavy to press upon the skins.
To the cedar or camphor wood chest
do not think any reliable virtue can be
attached. If the grub Of the insect has
been deposited in the fur before deposi
ting it therein, opine that like murder
If not complete, of the skin. Camphor,
we know is not favorable to insect life,
but the moth appears Of all depredators
to be the most insidions and long lived.
To keep them out, means that they shall
not be in, and to secure this put the val
ued articles out of harms way before
the miller mother can be up and doing
to their destruction. 1t is well to keep
a trunk or chest impregnated with the
camphor from year to year, in which to
store all wooden, flannel, fur or cloth
not to be used during the warm weather
and it is wise to occasionally peep into
this receptacle to let eye-sight confirm
your mental faith in their safety.

word for it, the stock will go up like

it will range between the thirties and

Mr.. Slocum, was answered.
Mr. Slocum shrugged his shoulders,
and looked arch and knowing.

Ste;Jens:
The address, which we publish else.
where, delivered on the 22d ultimo, by
the Vice President of the late rebel Con-
federscy, before the General Assembly of
Georgia, is eminently worthy OF perusal
Is spirit of honesty, calmness and Wis
iom entities its author to the gratitude OF
DIS coun'rymen. He gives soundest ad-
vice, and enforces it with weightiest rea-
sons, in behalf of patience, forbearance,
charity, good faith and broadcast justice,
as indispensable to the recuperation and
prosperity Of the South, and as the surest
and shortest path to the resumption Of
all her old fraternal relations in the fam
ily of States The present conflict as TO
reconstruction he does not discuss,
though sufficiently intimating his views
thereon, and we Of course do not now
refer to his opinions upon this subject
If the Southern people would act in the
spirit he suggests, the magnanimity Of
the rest of the country would, we are
sure, make haste to welcome them TO
their full share in the Government
