at the National Trial of 1866, on this point, is OF
inierest TO the farmer.
The workmanship Of the Buckeye operated at the
trial was so excellent that protest was made by
one OF the other exhibitors on the ground that this
Machine was much better than those ordinarily fur
nished to the farmer and that manufi could
not afford 10 sell good Machine for the money.
Tine official report reads follows ON this point:
"a subcommittee was appointed to examine the
Machines in their warehouses, and also some in the
hands OF the farmers. After a careful examination
the committee reported that the Machines at Au.
burn were in no respect better than those which
they had sold, and which were exposed in their
warehouses for current sales.

Why Greeley was Appointed.

MACK has been to see Mr. John

a quiet chat over public affairs and
public men, the two having wonder.
ful unison OF ideas. Among other
things the object Of Greeleys nomi>
nation TO the Austrian mission came
up, and Mr.. Johnson made the fol-
lowing explanation Of that singular
appointment:
On the subject of Greeley's nomi-
nation as Minister to Austria, Mr..
Johnson said he had stated this was
an idea of Stewards to get Greeley
out ofthe country. "Greely and Weed
and Seward have been quarreling for
some time, " said he, ''and have heard
it said that Seward got this appoint
ment to put Greeley out of the way.
There is not a word of truth in that.
The State Department did not sug-
gest Greeley's name at all. We agreed
on list OF disappointments in Cab

name to the Senate without its com
ing thro the State Department in the
regular way. His appointment was

things; he has his freaks and his
whims; and he has not been very
friendly to me, but have always
thought him an honest man. SO

without consulting anybody. But it

A Sermon Worth Remembering.


''Therc's nine men standin' at the
door, and they all sed thy'd take
sugar in ther'n."
Sich, friends and brethering, was
the talk, in a wurldly Gems, wunst
common in this our anshent land; bat
the dais is gone by, and the sans run
dry, and no man can say TO his naber,
hoo art thou, man, and will you
take emmy more shugar in yer kaughf
fey.
But the wurds of our tex has a
diffrunt and more pertikelur meenin
than this. Thar they stood at the
dore an cold winters morning, two
Baptiss and two Methodiss and five
Lutharing and tother was a pubikin.
And they all sed with one vols
they woodent dirty their feet in a
dram shop, but if the pubhkin wood
go in and get drinks they wood pay
for EN-. And they all cried out, and
every man sed, I'll take mine with
shugar-for it won't feel good to drink
the stuff without sweetnia. SO the
publikin he marched in, and the bar
keeper scd, "What want ye ?" and he
answered and sed, ga drink /" GLOW
will you have it 2" ''Plane and strate,"
says he, "for it amt no use wastin
sugar to circumsalivate akafortis."
But there is nine more standin at
the dore. and they all sed they'd take
shugar in thern.
Friends and brethering, it amt
only likker of spirits that is drunk
in this round about and undetermined
way, but it is the likker Of all sorts
Of human wickeness in like manner.
There's the likker eff malls that you
may drink to the dregs, but you'll
-woeten with the shugar of self>jus--
tifcation. Thar's the hkker Of avariss
that sum keeps behind the curtain
for constant use, but they hev it we'll
mixed with thes eetnin Of prudence
and ekonomy Thar's the likker of
self>luy that some men drink by the
gallon, but they alluz put in lots of
the shugar of take keer nv No. /.
And lastly, thars the likker of ex-
tortion, which the man sweetens ac-
cordin to circumstances. If he's in
the -four line, he'll say the poor'll be
better off eating korn bread; if he's
in the cloth line, why it's q good
thing to larn EN- to make their cloth
at home; and if he's in the lether
line, it'll Iarn them the necessity uy
taking better keer Nv shoes, and
thar's nine men standing at the dore,
and they all scd they'd take shugar
in ther'n.
But, friends and brethering, there's
time cumln, and place fixen'
where thcre'll be no standing at
the dorc" to call for ''shugar in
thern." But they III have to 90 right
in and take the drink square to the

them shugar of led, and red hot led
at that, as sure's your names Con-

DISEASE PRODUCED BY SLEEPING
Notwithstanding the night there
is considerable exhalation from our
bodies, and at the same time we alb
sorb large quantity of the surround
ing air. Two healthy young children
sleeping together will mutually give
and receive healthy exhalations; but
an old week person near a child w II,
in exchange for health, return weak
ness. A sickly mother near her
daughter communicates sickly ema>
nations TO her; if the mother has
cough Of long duration, the daugh-
ter will sometime cough and most
frequently suffer by it; if the mother
has pulmonary consumption, it will
ultimately be communicated to her
child. 1t is known that the bed OF
consmptive is a powerful and sure
source of contagion, as well for men
as for women, and the more so for
young persons. Parents and friends
ought to oppose, as much as in their
power, the sleeping together Of old
and young persons, of The sick and Of
healthy. Another reason ought to
forbid every mother or nurse keep
ing small children with them in bed;
Notwithstanding the advice of pru>
dence, no year passes that we do not
hear of new involuntary infanticide.

The German Exodus.

The increase of German emigration
to America since the recent extension
Of the rule OF Prussia over the nation
has been remarkable. This increase
is caused by the fact that those Ger,
mans born under the rule of Austria
refuse to serve in the Prussian land
wehr, or militia, from which that
army is recruited They prefer rath-
er to emIgrate. This idea is born
out by the fact that nearly all the
emigrants for the past six months
have been young men, very few wo-
men coming with them. For the six
months ending July the 1st, 21,478
emigrants have reached Columbus,
seeking homes in the fertile West,
against 1900 for the same time in
1866, showing an increase of $500
The arrivals for the six months Of
this year were as follows:

3rd. Moral HabitS.-The sacred
trust of a child committed to the care
OF parents cannot be overestimated.
The child is to live for ever. Parents
should cultivate the moral habits of
their children; and, at the same time
surround them with influences that
will counterfeit the evil lessons OF the
street, and enable them amid the
temptations and trials of after years
to call up pleasant memories and bal
lowed associations of"Home."
To teachers, he offered a fervent
exhortation to be faithful guardians
OF the public veal; and to care for the
thousands of neglected children, who
would otherwise be deprived Of the
blessings of good counsel and exam
pie; and closed with a glowing de-
scrlption Of The honorable vocation of
Teachers; and solemn and impress

ciate their responsibility, and dis
charge the duties of their trust with
