NOBLE ESENTIMENTs.-The veteran ed
itor of the Louisville Journal, George D.
Prentice, who has said as many bitter
things of political opponents as any man
liying-who was formlerly and for many
years leading and influential whig, but
for the past six or eight years has been
an earnest, ardent union man, opposed to
radicalism and rebelism alike-in re-
cent number of the journal utters the fol-
lowing truly noble, patriotic and christian-
like sentiments:
sI have written some bitter things of
men who have since passed away from
the earth, and whose memories [ revere
and upon whose graves could shed
tears of sorrow and regret. All when I
look back through the twenty-six years
of my editorial life, and think how many ]
once denounced who afterwards became
my personal friends, or proved their
country's friends, and how many once
eulogized and toiled for, who have since
turned their hands ruthlessly aud cause
lessly against mc-when reflect how
often the most ardnous and devoted politi-
cal services are forgotten by those to
whom they are rendered, and how often
the deepest political injuries are magnan-
imously forgiven by those to whom they
are rendered, and when / remember how
many political friends have striyen to
crush me, and how many democrats haV0
gathered around me as band of brothers
in the days of my personal peril, / should
be guilty of an outrage on my conscience,
and on every feeling and impulse of my
heart, if were not to weed out from nature
the partisan bitterness thatonce Aourished

NEVER OUTLAws.-By law of Congress
for the encouragement Of publishers, the
proprietor Of newspaper IS permitted TO-
continue sending his paper to subscribers
who are in arrears, whether taken from the
post Office or not, and collect payment for
the same up to the time Of settlement. Nor
does the amount against delinquent outlaw
by the statute of limitation as do other debts
In consequence of this it is plain that no
debtor for newspaper can ever enter the
Kingdom of Heaven. One can easily mag.
inc the CONSERVATION that must seize upon
the guilty man, when at the gate st. Peter
presents 3 score of unpaid newspaper bills
and closes the door against the damned soul,
Verify there shall be gnashing OF teeth

RAILRoADs.-As showing the prosperity
that invariably follows in the train of rail.
roads, we copy the following, clipped from o
Missouri paper
sBuild railroad into country without
railroad communication, and the value Of
real estate will be doubled in five years. The
statement may seem incredible to some peo.
pie, but the experiment has been tried all
over the Northern States, and the result is
as certain as the law of gravitation. Now,
if any country has real estate worth five mil
lions, and no railroad outlet, it can afford tc
give two millions to build one. Not the pit
iful sum of one or two hundred thousand
dollars, as is usual, but two millions and
the people in the country will make three
millions in five years by the operation. BY
giving largely, the country can control, o.
partly control, the road that it builds.

Why in marriage easy and universal
in such country as JAPAN Life there
is simple ; two or three small rooms, a
few dishes, mat upon which TO sleep,
one dress, little rice, and some fruit
these suffice for all, rich and poor alike,
in a great city like Yeddo, which has q
civilization as perfect and as old as ours.
And it is not life of stupidity or barba-
rism all can read and write; manners
are good books and pictures are plenty /;
theaters abound professions and festival
days enliven life. 1t is easy to see, thore-
fore, why marriage is not a fearful thing
in that far off land; and, by contrast, it
is easy to understand why few have the
courage to dare it here.-Putnam' Aag-
a1tne.

In rainy weather, if you have your
corn husked out, it is a good plan to see
to your pIows, harrows, ETC., and repair
them if repairs are needed, and not let
them go till wanted, as much valuable
time is wasted. Every farmer should
have small workshop, whore he can
make a handle to plow, or head q rake,
or shoe his own sled, or do a thousand
such things which nine out Of ten farmers
can do themselves as well as to employ a
mechanic, who, perhaps, lives two or
three miles away. And you can teach
your sons, so that they can use a saw or
plane for many purposes just as q Carpen-

KINGS COUNTY POLITICS.
The CentrnI UnIon Club,


A large meeting was held last night in the han cor
ner Fulton and Concord streets, under the auspices
Of the Central Union Club.
The meeting was called to order at eight O'Clock
by the chairman, Mr.. GRIswoLD, and after some sing
ing by the glee club II. p. CROzIER was introduced
and spoke at some length. He said when they Wis
tied Bunker Hill, Concord, Brandywine and other
places Of the Revolution they felt proud TO think
that the men who fought the battles OF the Revo-
luton were their fOreiathers. They were baptized
afresh with patriotism. But they need not go back
to revolution, for they must know That three or four
hundred thousand lives had been given up in the
recent rebellion, and as Lincoln said when standing
upon the grounds TO be consecrated for the soldiers
they had been already cOnsecrated with the lives OF
brave men. The democratic party had controlled
the government for sixty or seventy years, and had
always set themselves up the champions
OF equal rights; but this was false, for they ig-
nOred the rights OF the poor negroes. They were
unfaithful to the cause OF struggling liberty What
did they do when Austria crushed Hungary and
when Kossuth went through the country He went
to Washington and his el0quence fell like molten
lead upon the ears OF the representatives OF the
party there. He referred their refusal To support
equal suffrage In the DstIct Of Columbia and con
tended that they never did anything for the liberties
OF the people.
n The Rev. Matthew Hale Smith was next introduced
and made q few remarks saying that he was ue-
termined to continue working until the war Was
ended and they were nation In fact.

From the inactivity which has OF late character
lied the movements OF the Newark democracy IL nal
become current that the party had made up Its mind
to let the city go by the board over TO the opposition
lists. Last evening, however, 1t was thoroughly and
unquestionaby demonstrated that such was not the
intention of the "great unterrlfed." To witness u
simple banner raising In the Fifth ward there were
assembled fully four thousand, people. besides from
one thousand to fifteen hundred uniformed Jackson
Guards, bearing torches. AS the banner, which Is
fine large one exhibiting portraits OF the democratic
nominees, was hOisted, national salute was nred
by the Jackson Artillery. A platform, erected In
front OF the Second Dutch Reformed church,
Notwithstanding that 1t broke down AZ first,
afforded an opportunity to Messrs. d. V. Cal

and Judge Frederick ii. Teese, OF Newark,
to ventate their views Of the present political Issues

The Outside Meetings.

At an early hour the largo esplanade IN front Of
Cooper Institute was filed with vast assemblage,
such an assemblage FOR compactness, for general
orderly behavior and for enthusiasm as has never at
any previous political outside gathering at this place
been collected here. Two stands for speakers had
been erected, and very soon meetings at each were
organized and speakers talking IN strains OF serious
and orcibe earnestness to the vast sea Of upturned
faces
Captain Nelson presided at the easterIy stand
near Third avenue. After brief speech he was fol-
lowed In turn by Colonel wagstaff, Colonel Badger
Colonel Tremaine, Colonel Morgan, Mr.. Lambert
Dr. Moore and others. Ali the speeches were charac
terized with the energy usual at outdoor political
gatherings-a series OF grsDdloquent euogiums Of
the republican party ana their chosen standard
bearers, Grant and Cofax, and promises Of victory
IN the forthcoming general election a series OF
eqally energetic vituperatlons Of the democratic
candidates ana assurance OF their defeat the lat
OF November and general and immediate overthrow
and CONFUSION OF the democratic party.
Colonel J. N. Marshall presided over the second
stand near Fourth avenue. He led or with an eo-
