ABOUT ORDER.-Put things right
back in their place when done with.
Never leave them all about helter-Skel-
ter, topsy-turvy-never. When you
use any article, hoe, shovel, rake, axe,
hammer, tongs, boots or shoes, books,
states, pencils, writing apparatus, pins,
thimbles, pincushions, needles, kitchen
furniture, every article of Housewifry,
or husbandry, no matterwhat it is, the
very moment YOU have done using it,
return it toits properplace. Order, or
der, perfect order, is the WatchWord,
Heavens first law. How much precious
time is saved aside from veXation) by
observing order, systematic regularity!
And little folks should begin early TO
preserve order in everything. Form
habits of order. These loose, slipshod,
slatternly habits are formed in child
hood, and habits once formed are apt
to cling for life.
Young friends, begin early to keep
things in their proper places; study
neatness, order, economy, sobriety; in
everything be just, honest, pure, love
ly, and you will have good report.

FREE TRADE LEAGUE.

Some of the leading "Republicans"
of New York have formed Il Free
Trade League" and are working hard
for its success. Prominent among its
members is WILLIAM CULLEN BRY-
ANT, editor of the n. J. Ereaing Post,
one of the principal organs Of the ere

League has been established st. Louis,
one of the strongest "Republican" cit

IT has been computed, officially, that
during the war the deaths in the Fed
cral armies amounted to 100000, and
in the Southern armies to 225, ,000-to-
tai 10000. 1t is also estimated that
General Grants losses, from the time
he crossed the Rapidan till Lees sur
render, were 10000. When it is con-
sidered that all these losses Of life We're
entailed upon the country by the fa-
naticism and nalevOlence of the anti
slavery propagandistsOf New England,
il is a source Of wonder that any radi-
cal demagOgue or agitator is now al
lowed to hold any official position I'M
der the Government. When it is con-
sidered, also, that all this destruction
of life and all the waste Of war could
have been averted and the Union saved
by the exercise of Il small amount Of
f0rbearance and enlightened states
manship, the wonder grows apace that
an intelligent people will continue in
the train Of tyrannical and mercenary
men, whose only distinguishing trait
of character is strength and pertinacitY
in tearing down the grand work of a.
ges, of industry and craftsmanship.

CHEERING SIGNS.

Negro suffrage has been defeated eve
rywhere; in Connecticut, in Minnesota,
in Wisconsin, in the District Of Column
bia and in Colorado. Upon this issue
thehopes of the Abolition party depend.
1t is the only plank left them upon
which to stand. If they cannot accom-
plish the enfranchisementO Of the negro,
their party must go to pieces. Since
the results just referred to, elections
have been held in a number of the large
cities and towns of the North, every
one of which gave gratifying evidence
of Democratic recuperation. \ few
days ago an election for Mayor was held
in Pittsburg, which resulted in the
choice Of the Abolition candidate by
only SO majority! Pittsburg almost in
variabIy gives a "Republican' majori-
ty of 500 to 1900. Such results show
that the Democratic party is fast recOv-
ering its former vigOr, and that all ;hat
is necessary to success is thorough or
ganization. Let these cheering signs
inspirit Us with renewed hope and cause
US to go to work with a determination
to win. In this connection We would
repeat our former suggestion to estab-
lish clubs. Every school district should
have It's organization.

THE military authorities in Augusta,
Georgia, have sent about one thousand
negroes, who refused to work or make
contracts, to the valley of the MissisSip-
pi. If slavery is dead, what right have
the military authorities to force the ne
groes to emigrate, or make contracts. or
work? Not long ago, down in that sec
ton, the Freedmen's agents compelled
a negro to marry negreS> merely up
on the assertion OF the latter that a year
or two before he had promised to make
her his wife. If nor the military and
the Freedmen's agents exact obedience
in the matter of work and matrimony,
what will they not do, when the negro
come to exercise the freeman's privi-
lege Of voting?

to the fact that Boards of Return ,Judg-

them. In the case of MessFs. Koontz
and Coffroth all thecounty boardscount-
ed all the returns certified to them by
the township boards and by the Pro-

the ground that they were manifestly
fraudulent, or were unintelIigible. But
Judge Black says nothing upon this
subject.

The "Freedmen's Bureau" has issued
an order compelling former masters of
slaves to shelter and support the help
less and superannuated negroes, not
withstanding they have been deserted
by all the working slaves, and cannot
secure laborers to till the soil and Sc
cure support for even themselves, in
many instances. One would naturally
suppose that when the Bureau can
enfore such an order it is sufficiently
powerful, but Trumbull, Of Illinois,
has bill before Congress to enlarge its
powers. The design undoubtedly is to
make its Chief more powerful than the
President himself.

FOOD FOR FATTENING POULTRY.-
The cheapest and most advantageous
food to use for fattening every descrip-
ton of poultry is ground oats. These
confOunded with oatmeal, or with or
dinary ground oats; the whole of the
grain is ground to fine powder; moth
ingof nykind is taken fromit. When
it properly ground, one bushel of the
meal will more etfeetually fatten poul-
try than a busheI and half of any 9th
er meal. The great point in fattening
poultry is to feed them at dayhreak.

RADICAL CIRCUMvENTION OF THE
PRESIDENT.

RADICAL CIRCUMvENTION OF THE .
PRESIDENT.
Trickery is the distinguishing char
acteristic of the leaders of the political /
party which at present rules the coun-
try. They juggled themselves into /
power and they rely wholly upon their
skill in legerdemain to retain it, Their
prestidigitation in the handling of the
negro, has deluded the people, from
time to time, and they hope by the
same slight-o'-hand performances to
continue their successful practice upon
the minds of the gullible multitude.
They cry protection" and obtain the
confidence of the public while favoring
the few and depressing the many. They
shrek for freedom" and the crowd
believes them sincere, even as theysend
their political opponents, for opinions
sake, to dungeons and into exile. They
nullify the laws of the Union, denounce
eCOnstitution as an agreement with
hell" and when the Southern States
secede, tell them to go i'm peace, yet,
when they call upon the people to fight
for the Union, to vindicate by force the
authority Of the Constitution, their sin
cerity Is not questioned by the mob at
their heels They declare themselves
opposed to all interference with the in
stitution of slavery in the States, fa-
vOring only its prohibition in the Ter
ritOries, and when they obtain the pow
er to abolish it, they strike down State
Constitutions and blot it from existence
throughout all the South; yet their
honesty is not even suspected by their
besotted followers. They denounce and
threaten the President, style his MESA
ges ''white-washing documents" pro-
nounce his restoration policy a failure
and demand its abandonment, but still
they are deemed his political supporters
and the peculiar friends of his admin
istration. Emboldened by ytheirsuccess,
they now hope to be able to accomplish
what was always nearest their hearts,
DisWtioa, by styling themselves "Un-
ion men," and at the same time pre-
venting restoration of the Union. The
President stands in their way, but as
he stands still, not moving backward
nor forward, they expect easily to cir
cumvent him. Their road makes a
sudden detOur at the Executive man
sion, avoiding it altogether. THEY IN
tend to reach their point By 0Headinq the
Constitution. They have a two-thirds
vote in each house Of Congress, which
is all the Constitution requires to sub
nit any proposition for its amendment
to the people or the legislatures of the
States. The Presidents signature is
not required to be appended to such
amendment. They also have the re-
quisite majority in three-fourths Of the
State Legislatures, and thus have it alb
solutely in their power 10 change the
entire form of our government, with
out consulting the President or the peo-
pie. The only means by which they can
be checked in their netarious schemes,
is that of removal from office. Let
President and people "immediately
move upon their works"

SECOND DISPATCH.

NEW HAVEN, Jan. I, 1900.
The value of the amount stolen from
the,iron car of the Adams Express Co.,
on the Boston mail train on Saturday
night was, as near as it can be ascer-
tanned at present, about $780, 900. The
car was probably entered while at the
depot in New York. The thieves pri-
ed off the lock ON one door of the car,
also the locks to tW0Of Adams d Com
pany's safes. Eight thousand dollars
in greenbacks, and sixty thousand dol
lars in government notes were left by
the thieves on the floor of the car.
They got out with their plunder at Cos
cob bridge. Officials of the company
are here investigating matters. The
robbery was not discovered until the
arrival Of the train at this city.
Boston, Jan. 7, 1866.-The safe OF
the Adams Express Company was o.
pened last night on the train between
New York and New Haven, and rob
bed of large amount Of money. We
have no particulars.
