To head the list, there is the picnic for
the Orphan Asylum Of St. Peters Church.
We have takea ocession very frequently
to speak of this proposed festival, and
the truly christian and charitable object
for which it is to be given, and now we
again remind our readers of it. We hope
to So: them crowd the beautiful grounds
OF James PARK tomorrow, and each
contribute to the extent OF theiE ebility
to this noble charity,
Father Snyder, too, of st Mary's, calls
on tie picnic goers to rally out to the
Ford Place, Chelsea, in numbers, each
prepared to do something for st. Mary's
Caurch. Our German friends viii No
doubt be out in force, and have very
pleasant time, IS they always do when
hey set cut for days amusement.
The social Onion, we are requested to
state, will have an old-fashioaed " Fourth
Of July barbecue" and picnic on ths
grounds Of the Leath Orphan Asylum.

son all but the financial question"
saws the New York Times, 1.-THE Dem
ocratic party is janus-faced ;" here ''it
is honest in its dishonesty" But the
construction put by the New York
World on the financial part of the
platform is the exact opposite of that
I'M which the New York Times and its
Chicago namesake agree. The World
italicising the words, says: "TBe
Democratic party IS pledged .6y the
platform to appreciate the greenbacks
to mar and use them for the payment Of
he DabIic debt SChich Is not 6y cypress
provisions of the JdW due IA cObl.''
And so say Chase, the would-be nom
inee. and Seymour, the actual candid
ate. But the Chicago Times declares,
in its New York correspondence, that
the platform is ''emphatically green
back" and that the minority in the
committed who "were in favor OF
paving the bonds in gold yielded
gracefully" and in its editorial col
umns that "the platform says the fUe-
tlOentv bonds ought to be redeemed G0
0reen6acks, and that the 0OOrk Of re-
demptiOR ought to DC commenced

EX-GOv. Wise, OfVirginia, and Ex-
Gov. Vance, of North Carolina, were
at the New York Convention, where
they met the Democracy from all sec
tons, and had a free interchange OF
views upon the great issues Ofthe day.
On their return they were invited to
make speeches in Richmond to their
Democratic brethren, illustrating the
situation.
Gov. Vance was enthusiastic over
the ticket. He most cordially sup
ported Seymour and Blair, on the
ground that the confederacy would
win by their election what they fought
for in the rebellion;p and Gov. Wise
would support Blair because he
promised revolution"
These menw were confidently explain
ing td their friends the undercurent OF
the Democratic sentiment in that con-
vention. They virtually say we IRE
solved that slavery was abolished by
the action of war;" and talked 10y
atty in order to retain the loyal ele-
ment of the party in the ranks" but
"they mean revolution"-"they mean
that we shall gain what we fought for
in the rebellion" 1.
We appeal to those loyal Democrats
who are striving to hold on to both
the Democratic party and the Gov
eminent, if they are willing, on the
present "vicissitudes," to be di-
rected" by the Democracy into reYO-
luton. Either you, or Wise, Vance,
andOthers, are being wofully deceived.
Nebraska advertiser., 1868-07-23

The Journal and Messenger Macon,
Georgia, an old-fashioned Rebel organ,
thus halls the nomination of Horatio
Seymour:
'"The nomination of HoratiO Sey-
mOur Of New York, by the Democrat
ic National Convention, was received
here with the utmost satisfaction. He
requires no introduction to our readers.
A statesman Of eminent ability, a
States Rights Democrat, a firm, true
and unfiinching advocate of the old
Constitution, he will rally to his stan
dard every patriot in the land. Du-
ring the late war, when every princi-
ple of the Constitution was being
violated by the Lincoln Administra-
ton, Seymour's voice was heard high
above the clangor Of arms in defense
of that instrument"
Having thus shown why it does
support Seymour, The Journal and
Messenger gives its reasons for Oppo-
sing-as follows:
"The people of the South need no
appeal. They have but one friend in
this contest. Grant has Overrun and
devastated their fields and butchered
their children. He has been the mill
tary executive officer of that Congress
which has loaded us with chains, over
ridden all our laws, filed dungeons
with our citizens, elected strOlling
vagabonds to our offices, and filled the
cup of our woes to OVERLOOKING. No
friend Of the South, no friend Of his
country, can vote for this military ty-
rant.n

NAT. ROLLINS, Secretary.

THE total eclipse of the sun, which
is to take place on the 18th of August
next, will present such a long dura-
ton of darkness, that astronomers
are anticipating it with unusual inter
est. From near Alden the central line
ofthe eclipse extends to the southern
cost of New Guinea, crossing HindO-
stan, the Bay of Bengal, the May
layan peninsula, and the gulf of Siam
on the way: and all certain places on
the line the duration Of total darkness
will be at $40. At the date in quest
ion the moon will not be more than
six hours from its perigree; a two
fold condition which increase the APP
parent diameter of the moon, and
shows the apparent diameter of the
sun, nearly at the smallest. Hence
the prolonged darkness. Sucha chance
occurs but rarely, and we cannot won
der that a strong desire exists to make
the most of it in an endeavor to solve
certain highly important questions in
physical science. Unluckily, the
southwest monsoon will be at full
blast on the 10th of August, which,
with its heavy clouds, will render
observation either uncertain or i'm
possible, excepting the eastern side of
the mountain ranges.

Troubles with Hired Help

Mr.. Editor The whole Advertiser
outfit being Heads Of Families, T"
have experimental knowledge Of the
-vexatious features surrounding "hired
help.D Now-a-days, when you are
looking after a girl to do Homework,
she wants to know how many you
have in family; how many evenings
each week she can have use of the
parIor. to entertain her company /;
how many afternoons she a have to
call in her friends; can she eat at the
+" first table :" she viii not wash for
young ladies, or young children, nor
make a fire in the kitchen stove.
There would be no ~unreasona-
bleness in demanding a share in the
family couch than in some of the fore
going. GAIL HAMILTON, one of Go
dey's Lady's Books most gifted con-
tributors, has been writing a book,
treating of the ills and burthens fe-
male flesh is heir to, and on this very
subject has a very sensible paragraph.
She says; 81 admit that there are
serious drawbacks to household service
some drawbacks of an honest, self
respect some of a foolish, ~self-respect
respect calling itself pride. 1t is
often said, that if a woman could be
taken into a family on a footing of
equality-meaning chiefly, 1 find, if
she could sit at the t~abIe-there would
be less reluctance to domestic service.
Now any one ought to see that the
family table is very often the only
place where the familysare all tOgeth-
er, and any strangers presence des-
troys the confidence and freedom that
makes the charm of family life. The
family do not object to the servants
presence necessarily because she is not
equal to themselves, but because she
is not one of themselves. They are
quite right. Family seclusion can
scarcely be too sacredly guarded, and
the woman who wishes to encroach
upon it-who is so blind that she can
not see that there is anything to be
encroachedupon-shows by thattoken
her unfitness to share it. There is,
too, much less danger of clashing
when mistress and maid have their
orbit or different places. Duties are
far more clearly defined, and relations
for less complicated"
JANE ANN.
