--wE call the attention of our patrons at and
around Hull Prairie TO the card Of Mcssrs. Brown
Bios, doing business at Halt Prairie Depot
They have wcll-assorted stock of merchandise,
and bear a high character for fair dealing.
VIZ learn from the Bowling Gwen Se"tiod
that Mrs. PETER E1cuAKDs, living some two miles
east Of that place, fell, ON Wednesday morning of
last week, striking ou the edge of tub, breaking
three ribs. At last accounts she was recovering
as fast as could be expected, although suffering
great pain.
we are Informed that CHARLES WRIGHT, Esq,
of this place. has obtained windfall from for
tnuatc speculation in which he has been some
time operating. We are pleased to hear of pros
pcrity smiling on our citizens, especially so should
it develop enterprise and promote the interests of
the town.
--WE have repablishcd on our first page an ar
ticle from the Toledo Commercial, on the Pcndlc-
tonian Financial Scheme. The article is an able
one and deserves especial attention. We are glad
TO perceive TIE furcible in which the Com
nacrciot is exposing the sophistry and CANNON of
the Latter-Day Democrats"
We likewise direct the attention of our read
ers to Gov. HAYES Inaugural address. 1t gives
no uncertain sound. IT is clear, forcible and en-
phatic. The Governor is evidently equal TO the
emergency in which this State is now placed, and
will skow himself to be the right man in the
right place.

ChiIdren,s Feet.

Lifelong discomfort. disease and sudden
death often come to children through the
inattention or carelessness of the parents
A child should never be allowed to go io
sleep with cold feet the thing to be last
attended to, see that the feet are dry aud
warm neglect of this has often resulted in
an attack of Group, diptheria, or fatal
sore throat.
Always on coming from school or en-
tering the house from a visit or errand, in
rainy, muddy, or thawing weather, the
child's shoes should be removed, and the
mother should herself ascertain if the
stockings are the least damp, and il so they
should be taken off, the feet held before
the FIRE and rubbed with the hand till per.
fectly dry, and another pair of shoes be
put on, and the other shoes and stockings
should be placed where they can be dried,
so as to be ready for future use at mo.
ments notice.

likely TO be consumed by the falls of Mag.
ara in wearing their way up the bed of Nj
agara River, past Tonawanda and Black
. Rock, until they become at Buffalo the Fal' g
OF Lake Erie, has been raised anew of late
by some remarkable signs observed in the
rapids above Horse shoe Fail, which are
thought to forbodc an early downfall of the
rocks forming that magnificent cataract.
For more than year past, some watchful
residents of the vicinity have marked pc
culiar motion of the rapids at point some.
thing less than mile above the apex of
the horseshoe, in the channel which the
greatest body of water dcscends, and this
motion has been OF character to give rise
to the supposition that breach has been
made by the current through the soft sha lie
strata underlying the limestone that FERNS
the present ledge of the Falls. Recently
the appearance of the rapids at the point
indicated has under gone marked change
and so exactly in confirmation of the the
ory stated, that those watching it do not
doubt the speedydoOm OF the famous Horse
Shoe Cataract. Ii the limestone ledge, over
which the river now falls is, az supposed.

ranean stream, breaking through as far back

A Protest Against Early Rising.

One of the very worst economies of time
is that hlched from necessary sleep. The
wholesale but blind commentator of early
rising is as mischievous in practice as il
is Grant in theory. EARLY rising is a crime
against the nohlest part of our physical
nature, ualesS preceded by al, early retiring.
We caution parents, particularly, not 10
allow their children to he walked up of
mornings. Let nature wake them up she
viii not do it prematurely +; but have q
care that they go to bed at an early hour
let it be earlier and earlier, until il is found
that they wake up themselves in full time
to dress for breakfast. Being walked up
early, and allowed to engage in difficult or
any studies late and just before retiring,
has given many beautiful aud promising
child brain fever, or determined ordinary
ailments to the production of water on the
brain.--Dr. Hall.

The AbyssInian SECRET.

A French Journal, lie Nord, has made a
discovery England cares very little about
the captives in Abyssinis. but is anxious
to establish its power on the shores of the
Red Sea hence the expedition. The con.
quest of the magnificent seaport and
harbor Of Massowah, says this writer,
would ensure the possession of the Red
Sea to England. Immense military hos.
pitals are organizing at Alexandria, Cairo
and suez. The principal commercial
houses OF England are sending agents to
Abyssinia. Everything com mbines to prove
tho British expedition 10 be in consequence
of the occupation of Perrin and revenge ior
the French enterprise Of the Isthmus of
SueZ
The English seem to be perturbed by
these statements. Perhaps there is some
truth in them they vince who are hit.

A New Proposition in COngress--A
Whisky Company.
Special Dispntch to the Evening Post

LSpeclal Dlspatchto the Evening Post.
WASHINGTON, January l2.-Mr. E5gles
ton, of Ohio, will offer resolution in the
House to-day. instructiug the Committee
on Ways and Means to inquire into the ex
pediency of focusing company, with the
exclusive right TO manufacture whisky in
the United States, in consideration of the
payment to the government OF tax OF
seventy-live million dollars per aunum.
This fee is to be the minium amount of
the license fee, though government is au-
tlorized to make proposals and to accept
the highest bid.
1t is estimated that should this plan be
adopted the government will receive at
least one hundred million dollars per an.
nun from whiskey, without the trouble
and expense of appointing and maintaining
large army of collectors, assessors, in
spectors and other officials.
The " hisky Company when organized
will be protected in its rights by the en-
tire government, and it is contemplated to
give them guaranty that tho tariff on
foreign Liquors and spirits shall not be al
tered without giving them due notice.
We suspect that this enlightened legis-
lator has not read the history of the Farm
ers-General, as they were called, in France.

Demoralizing the South.

Under the above heading the Cinc nnati
Times gives utteronce to the following ju.
dioious remarks;
The Democracy in tho lower house of
the Legislature dill very unwisn thing in
resembling the ratification of the Cousiiu.
tional Amendment, kuown as Article XIV,
which is tho main part of the reconstruc-
tion plan of Congress. The party should
have let that alone, since the pcople so
largely indorsed it in 1866, against all the
President and the Democratic party could
do. The chief feature of it is the declara.
tion that all persons born or naturaized in
the United States are citizens entitled to
protection. ....
The rejection of this by that party gives
counterance to the wide spread suspicion
that if thy get the power they will go on
soinding unit they lave undo all G
legitimate results of the war. The party
will, we fear. create the impression among
the late Rebels that. as Train tells his au.
dielic,s, they can draw upon it at sight for
anything they may desire. 1t they let ont
too much of their Copperhcadism the
South will bc so badly dmoraized that the
Northcru Democracy will he overwhelmed
by the Rebel spirit. They shoull remcm-
Der old times and not forget how Douglas
was slaughtered. ..r ....0r.

Communicated i
Democracy.

| word derived from the Greek-dczo., people;
and kroteo. to possess or govetn-and signifies a
kind Of government in which the powers Of gov
ernment are derived from the people by universal
suffrage, so that each citizen is represented Such
government is controlled by the voice Of the
people. Each citizen is vested with the right of
tlkiug part in the choice of the on ces, and oi
deciding what kind of laws shall be enacted. So
far IS this Kind Of government is concerned, the
voice Of the people is as the voice of God. To
each ruler the voice Of the people speaks with au-
thority- This voice makes and unmakes Prcsi
dents. At the bidding of the people, the Chief
Magistrate lays aside the dignity and honors Of
Office venerable parchments become worthless

tic voice. To tyrants this voice is as the ." voice
of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thm-
derugs." Kingdoms perish, thrones crumble and
tall to pieces.
There are incidents and liabilities which 60 to
show what grandeur and dignity the Democrat tic
form of government coniers upon each citizen
Sometimes all these great changes which have
been alluded to are brought about by one voice.
A single, solitary citizen takes the place which
democratic form of government assigns him at the
ballot-box, and the whole state and the whole ua-
ton acknowledge his power. One vote carries
little" weight nevertheless that little can not be
despsed. Behold that great beam which turns
the political scales goes up and down as each man
casts in his vote. See that man approach and de-
post his vote in scale. The great beam
moves down. Another man casts his vote into the
opposite scale, and the great beam goes up ngain.
Such was the Government Of Athens, and such is
the Government of the United States. 1t is
costly government. Its price is righteousness. 1t
may be glorious government That depends
upon the character OF the people. Athens was
once the seat of art and science it was great
mart of trade; the people were learned, and re-
fined, and brave. But alas her classic soil was
polluted by the footsteps of the slave. There
were men, women and children who were cofled,
and peuned, and chained, and sold, and bought,
and marked. and scarred-who were not suffered
