"A wealthy Hebrew, at San Francisco, happy
in being the fsther Of male triplets, has named
them Abraham Lincoln, Isaac Andrew johnson,
and Jacob John Copness. The circumcision rite
was performed with great pomp, September IA.
General McDowall held Abraham, deputy for
Goysrnor-elect Haight held Isaac, and Senator
CONFESS held Jacob. Three officiating clergymen
performed the ceremony Of circumcision, each
rabbi taking one child, and at the altar gold
medals were hung upon the little ones, whose
names were inscribed upon the diverse, while
the reyerse of each medal respectively called to
mind Abraham offering up Isaac, Isaac blessing
Jacob, and Jacobs ladder.
in paper addressed to the Academy OF
Sciences, DR.. C. Robin described two new kinds
Of mushroom, of the Aspergiltus genus, growing
ON the'membrans Of the tympanup. This para
stical vegetation he had observed in ten patients,
four Of whom had it in both ears and in all cases
it existed independently Of any other morbid anec-
ton. Each Of these aurioulsr mushrooms pre-
sents the chief botanical characteristics OF As
perqilus 9ioucus; but as they differ in the color
of their organs Of fructihcation, DR.. Robin calls
one Aspsrgi1us JFauescsns, and the other Asper-
qalns MGR leans. They form pseudo-membrane,
covering that of tho tympanum so that, if the
former be extracted entire, it will be found to have
the exact shape of the latter, The pseudo-mem-
brane has a fepy consistency; it is white,
GLOSSY. and covered here and there with
spores of brownish yellow a. Jfapescens)
or black "a. nigicans.) The most curl
ous circumstance, however, is this, that
the parasitical vegetation does not take place on
the outer surfsce OF the membrane but on the in
ner ons. that which is in contact with the tympa-
nun 30 that the mushroom tends to pierce the
.nbst.nce Of the ear. Dr. Robin wished to see
whether these Aspergill could vegetate elsssbere
than ON the human body; he therefore tried sew
sral kinds of fruit, and he found that lemon and
orange would answer his purpose best. The AS
peryili took to them very easily, but their trans
Far from an animal to vegetable soil caused them

have always had undoubted confidence in the

declared a remedy for the present unhappy condi-
ton of the country. 1t must come from the peo-
pie themselves, they know what that remedy is,
and how it is to be applied. At the present time

not controlled by fraud or overawed by arbitrary
power, or from apathy on their part, not to be
too long delayed.
With abiding confidence in their patriotism,
wisdom and integrity, am still hopeful that the
iron rod Of despotism will be broken, and the
armed heel of power lifted from the necks of the
people and the principles of q violated constitu-

The President was cheered during the de

band played and the cheers were almost
deafening.
Frequent calls were made for Attorney
General Stansbury. He was on the premis

STILL THROWING CLUBS.

The Union, in its account Of the meeting
of the stockholders of the new Peoria rail-
road enterprise, says:
"Rock Island, having ne claim but q small in
dvidual subscription, is left out in the cold and
the owner of the Coal Valley Road remains free
to make any arrangement he can with the new
company for keeping up his present monopoly
of the coal trade"
No private subscriptions whatever were
made to the stock of this enterprize.-but
we presume the Union was SO informed.
And we presume the same authority insti
gated the unmanly fling at "the owner ofth
Coal Valley Road" But it seems to US that
this sort of child's talk has become rather
stale. 1.-THE owner ofshe Coal Valley Road"
seeks no monopoly. and is willing, at any
time. to sell his entire road to the new organ
ization, at its fair value, without any con-
ditons or reservations of any sort or kind.
But if the people who are seeking to estab-
lish a monopoly of their own, insist on buy.
ing it at less than its value, he will sell it, in
that manner, with reservations. He seeks
no monopoly or advantage in business,
except such as his capital gives him-and
gives to every man who has capital. II
anybody can produce coal cheaper than he
can the market is open for them-let them
wade in. The people will buy of those who
sell lowest. The gable of these people
about "monopolies," is: unreasonable and
silly. As well might the farmer who has nc
team complain of his neighbor farmer who
has good team, and say that he wanted to
monopolize the business of farming. II
these people want the Coal Valley road
why don't they buy it. They can get it, any
day, at its value, untrameled by any condi
tons or restrictions. Ifthey want it less
than its value, they can have it, with restric
tons. Let them bring out their bonds and
purchase or cease their senseless twattls
about monopoEes.

The radical papers are denouncing Mr..
Pendleton as a repudiator, and saying che
talks like a villain" because he advocates
the payment of our public debt in green
backs, as fast as the debt falls due, and no
faster. That is exactly his position. Ben
Butler and Thad Stevens advocate exactly
the same thing, but the radical papers have
no denunciations for them. The people who
thus denounce Mr.. Pendleton say that the
soldiers of the war, and the widows and or
phans of the men who fell in the war, shall
have their milk watered BY the government
at the rate of one gallon to two; but the
shoddyites, and contractors, and government
brokers who grew rich by specializing on the
nations necessities shall receive nothing
but cream. This is the love of the radicals
for the 'boys in blue"

SERENADE TO THE PRESIDENT
His Response on the Occasion.

WASHINGTON Nov. 13.-Tbe Conservative
Army and Navy Union having rendered the
President congratulatory serenade, they
invited all conservatives and democrats to
join them in the demonstrations tonight. A
procession was formed at the head quarters
ofthe Army and Navy Union, composed of
delegations and associations including the
johnson Clubs and the unions of Washing.
ton and Georgetown and large number of
soldiers and sailors. Various army flags,
banners, transparencies, lanterns, &C., were
carried IN the procession, and during the
march there was continuous display of
rockets and other fireworks. There were
three bands of music. A broom four feet
long and nearly as broad, with huge han
die, was significantly exhibited. 1t is the
same that was presented to President Lin
coin, and was purchased at an auction sale.
When the procession arrived at the execu.
tive mansion a presidential salute and a
salute of one hundred guns were given. The
dense mass of spectators repeatedly called
for and cheered the President. In the mean.
time music was played and fireworks exhib-
tied. A committee escorted the President
to the front of the mansion where he was
received with repeated cheers.
Col. O'Brien then addressed the Presi-
dent, congratulating him upon the newly
promised hope for the welfare of our coun-
try, in response to which the President adj
dressed the assembly as follows:
FELLOW CITIZENS 1t is not my intention to

A day or two ago the telegraph announc-
ed that Congressman Ashley, of the state
of Ohio, had prepared and would in
troduce on the first day of the session
a bill to prevent the present Ohio legislature
from re-districting the state so as to give
the congressional districts to the democrats
in the election next year. Considering that
the democrats carried ten of the nineteen
districts of the state of Ohio, at the late cleo
ton, even under the radical apportionment,
1t would seem that Mr.. Ashley's alarm is
rather unnecessary. But his scheme is
simply another measure of legislation-of
which the ''tenure-of off &C. law is a prom-
nent example by which the Jacobin par
ty aims at the retention of power in spite of
the people. 1t is the attempt of party,
whose time is come, to escape the grim mon
ster, death. II is another step in the pro-
gramme of Jacobinism to destroy state rights
and concentrate all powers of government,
local as well as general, in the central autoc-
racy at Washington. The right to define
and alter the boundaries of congressional
districts is right that belongs exclusively to
the several states. 1t is right that any
state may properly exercise wherever, by its
legislature, it shall think proper to do 3d.
Mr.. Ashley, now that his party is defeated
in Ohio, and has before it the prospect of de-
feat everywhere else, proposes to take away
this right of states by an act of the rump
congress. Mr.. Ashley and the rump con-
gress will fail, if they undertake it.

THE PEORIA RAILROAD.

The people who wanted to get Rock Is
land into debt for their benefit, in the Peo-
ria railroad, report that, at the meeting at
Bureau Junction, $50, 900 private subscrip-
tions were made to the stock of the new en-
terprise. This is not true. Several gentle
men were present, from Davenport, who
said they had between fifteen and twenty
thousand dollars subscriptions, and thought
they could get more. if there was prospect
of the road being built. There were also
a few gentlemen from Peoria who said they
could prabably get some private subscrip-
tons there, if the enterprise bid fair to sue
coed. But not a dollar Of pirate subscafp-
tons erds delivered, on made, or turned 0rer
to the control Of the corporation. We hope
the enterprise will prove success, and that
the wealthy bond holders who have their piles
of bonds laid away in bank vaults, drawing
Interest,", and paying taxes, will come for
ward and subscribe to the stock, and not
ask the people to load themselves down with
debt and taxes. Walk up, and subscribe,
gentlemen, and show your faith by your
works.
Since writing the above we have received
q copy of the Davenport Democrat giving an
account of the meeting, which that paper
says it received from Mr.. C. C. Cock, of that
city, and from which we clip the follwing:
1.-THE stock subscribed by the citizens of Dav-
export was turned over to the board of directors
on the following conditions, viz that part of
the same should be used except to make necessary
surveys, until enough stock shall have been "bona
idely" taken, to grade, bridge, and tie the entire
length of the road, and assurance given that the
road will be pushed to final completion.
"The $500, 900 stock subscribed by the city and
county Of Peoria, is subject 10 the same instruc-
tons
In other words, neither Davenport or PEG
ria have subscribed a dollar,-but have
agreed to subscribe when enough "bona
fdely" stock shall have been taken to grade
bridge and tie the entire length of the road,
and good and sufficient bond given that
the road will be pushed to final completion
This is very wise determination on the part
of Davenport and Peoria, and shows, clearer
than ever, that the bond holders and ferry
monoPolists who attempted to get our peo-
pie to subscribe $4,000 Internationally,
were justly rebuked.
The only ''bona fdely" subscriptions to
to the road, therefore. seem to be as follows:
Cambridge Henry Co., $4,000
Western, " $4,000
CISCO, $4,000
Total, $4,000

The great democratic party-the only par
ty in this country that always stood by the
Union-that always stood by law and order
that always respected the rights and iber-
ties of the people, whether rich or poor, ma
tive or foreign born-has triumphed over the
enemies of this country in the political battle
just fought in ten or eleven states of the
Union. The democratic party IS the only
party that ever kept peace at home and pre-
served respect for the nation abroad-and it
is the only party that can do it.

The people want this work of the war final
ly closed up, with a Union more prosperous

have had enough of and taxes are as heavy
as they can well bear the struggle now is;
to reunite the states, re-establish public con
hdence, revive industry, reopen trade and
commerce, and restore all things to their
rightful places under the constitution. And
we believe the people will do it.

CANNING FRUITS. As the season OF fruits
is lust commencing, anything that will enable
it to be successfully canned at j small expense
will very much prolong tue season. Only
those who have tried 1t know tie satisfaction
derived from eating dish Of peaches in mid.
winter as fresh as when gathered. The an
pexed method of canning fruit was furnished ut
the New York Farmer club by Mr.: Powers,
Of Oswego county, New York: II will sup
pose your fruit and glass cans all ready. |
prefer cans with glass covers L scald the fruit
ia large tin pan with juice or water to cover
it. Put half teacup OF cold water into every
can, and fill up with hot water. Put the COW
ers and rubbers also into hot water. Now
empty q can and fill up with hot fruit and open
another. Let them stand till the hand can be
held upon them without burning AS soon as
filled cut writing paper the size Of the can, one
tor each, and when cool slip one over the lrult
entirely, and fill up the can On the top OF the
paper with boiling juice, and seal at once.-
Ladies, tly this way the fruit will never
mould. and keep any time, if you don eat
it. The papers keep the fruit from rising to
the top OF the liquid. There is no use Of set
ting cans into water to heat them, or OF putting
them iuto quilted bags; it is too troublesome
let the fruits shrink and then ill up to the
cover as close as possible.
