GAPS IN CH1ckENs.-We have
tried the following plan, and found
it a certain cure for gaps in chick
ems. Take medium-sized broom
splint, with a sharp knife make two
or three barbs near the large end.
Open the mouth of the chicken,
having its neck drawn straight, and,
as the windpipe is opened for
breath, put in the instrument, and,
running it carefully down the full
length of the windpipe, turn it
around and draw it up, when one or
more small red worms, an inch in
length, will be caught in the barbs.
| We have taken out four worms
at one insertion. Two or three op-
erations are often necessary, but if
faithfully performed, the remedy is
sure. AS preventive, mix small
quantity of pepper and sulphur in
their food American Stock Jour.

A FISH SToRY.-An anecdote is
told of a man who had an ''infrmi
ty,' as well as an appetite for fish
He was anxious to keep up hi;
character for honesty, even while
enjoying his favorite meal; ant
while making a bill with his mer-
chant, and when his back was turn
ed, the honest buyer slipped a cod
fish up under his coat tail. But
I the garments were too short to
cover up the theft, and the mer-
chant perceived it.
Now" said the customer, anx-
lious to improve all opportunities to
call attention to his virtues, "Mr
Merchant, l have traded with you a
good deal, and have always paid
you promptly, haventI?'
"Oh, yes" said the merchant, II
make no complaint"
Well" says the customer, Il al
ways insisted that honesty is the
best policy, and the best rule to
live by, and die by
"That's So" replied the merchant,
and the customer turned to depart.
"Hold on, friend; speaking ofhon-
esty, ! have a bit of advice to give
you. Whenever you come to trade
again, you had better wear a longer
coat, or steal shorter Goldfish"

U
IA lady writer has been
charged with the libels on the sex,

particle Of wood around the lead,
leaving an unsupported spike of the
latter, which breaks Immediately
when used. You can almost for

and tapers it in the most ravishing
manner, for durable use. | wish to

when l Pnce make up my mind,
"all the kings men" can't change

Well, then, secondly-A woman
can't do up a bundle. She takes a
whole newspaper to do up a paper
of pins, and coil Of rope to tie it,
and it will come undone at that -

the fascinated gaze Of a bird in the

How the paper falls just into the
right crease; how deftIy they turn
it over, and tuck it under, and tie it
up, and then throw it down upon
the counter as if they had done the
most common thing in the world
instead of a deed which might, and
in faith does, task the ingenuity of
angels ! 1t is perfectly astonish-

Thirdly may allude to the fact
that 4 woman cannot carry an UNI

PoGREss OF "UNIvERsAL SUFFRAGE"
1t is over seven years since the repub-
licans undertook the business of estab-
fishing universal suffrage in the United
States. And this is the result:
They have disfranchised about one third
of the white citizens of the United States
in the south:
They have disfranchised all the alien
born residents of the south who have not
received full naturalization papers;
They have subjected the negroes to
partisan dictation which practically de-.
MES them either personal freedom or q
voice in the government:
They have attempted to disfranchise
twelve thousand returned soldiers in Wis
consin: -
They have organized standing army
to protect the ballot-box in many of the
states: a.s. e--
They have attempted the passage of an
act making it penal offence for any of
the people in three states to vote for pres
ident: --s lis
They have voted down negro suffrage in
Kansas, Michigan, Ohio and other repub-
lican states.
And they have originated scheme for
DISTINGUISHING the whole southern people
at the presidential election, transferring
the choice of electors to the carpet bag
legislatures.
During this time the republican party
has held complete and undisputed sway in
the federal government and in nearly all
the states, and nothing on earth has pre-
vented the establishment of universal suf-
rage but their own indisposition.
And this indcntical party is now clam
oring for new lease of power that it may
establish universal suffrage MI. Neus.

IMPUDENcE SuPREME.-The following
from the State Register is ahead of any
thing we have seen for impudence:
"The Republican party with unparelell
ed forbearance during the war, quietly
permitted these northern rebels of the
Copperhead species to hold their conven,
tions, political meetings, &c., in our midst
undisturbed and notwithstanding they
have put in nomination for President the
great leader of Northern rebel rioters, and
for Vice President a man who is the open
advocate of new rebellion, the loyal peo-
Pile have still been disposed to tolerate
their gatherings and to 'enthuse" without
molestation."

forming them of the offences charged,
denying the right of trial, numbering
them as they did Tully in this state in
'63-endeavoring to deprive democrats OF
social privileges and trying to injure their
business? Forbearahce indeed! The
devil himself has more.
The Register, from the tenor of its arti
Gle, would have the people believe that al
the liberty Of speech, of the press, and ol
conscience that there is our country exists
only by the suffrance of the radical party
But thank God the despotism of that party
has had it's day. and democrats propose to
speak, write, hold conventions and
'.enthuse' as suits them best. The pre-
text for interference in the future uiN mol

The LAUGH OF WoMEN.-A woman has
no natural gift more bewitching than a
sweet natural laugh. 1t is like the sound
of flutes on the water. 1t leaps from her
in clear sparkling rill, and the heart
that hears it feels as if bathed in the cool,
exhilarating spring. Have you ever pur-
sued an unseen fugitive through the trees,
led on by fairy laugh, now here, now
there, now lost, now found We have;
and we are persuing that wandering voice
to this day. Sometimes it comes to us in
the midst of care, or sorrow, or irksome
business, and then We turn away and listen,
and hear it ringing in the room like a
silver bell, with power to scare away the
evil spirits of mind. It turns prose to
poetry it fings flowers to sunshine
over the darkness of the wood in which
we are travelling; it touches with light
even our sleep, which is more than the
image of death, but it is consumed with
dreams that are the shadows Of immortali-

1t is a pertinent question, and one
worthy of strict investigation whether the
issue of the Republican party as laid
down in its platform and urged by its par
tisan orators and writer's are the issues
sought to be obtained by its organizations
and paid for by debt of eHormous mag
nitude and holocaust Of human victims
Was the Republican party formed to OBJ
tain partial negro suifrage2 Was it in.
tended to disfranchise any portion of the
white population? Was its great military
struggle for the dismemberment of the
union, and the placing of certain portions
under military rule? Did its Inaugural
tors forsee as consequence Of its power a
permanent suspension Of the habeas cor
puss For not one of these was it brought
into existence. 1t was not for these
things that statesman thought and soldiers
bled. They are the fugi growing on a
rotted trunk-and the only way to get rid
of them is to destroy the worse than use-
less body which produces and supports
them. The present aspect as the party is
in direct opposition to the great objects
originally sought, gloriously obtained and
rascally perverted by the party which
might have ensured its preconceived ideas.
Under these circumstances all fealty, all
allegiance ceases on the part Of the honest
patriots who instituted and supported it.
The civilian who voted and the soldier
who fought for it in its crusade against
secession and caste can no longer honora-
bly, support it when it has turned all its
victories to such base uses. 1t is no long
er a Republican party, but moneved
tyranny, and if not checked, will speedily
result in Depotism worse than any of
the monarchies of the old country, and
grinding down the laboring population
beneath q burden of taxation, which will
leave them as serfs in the hands of bloat-
ed aristocracy and mere machines at the
mercy of standing army and o military

BUSINESS We. RELleIoN.-We do not see
| why there should, be any essential 4ntago.
nism between these two interests-ipdeed.
we do not know that there is any such an
tagonism but there seems to be ware
fare between the two, in which relig-
ion gets the worst of it. Houses Of wor-
ship, and the little. spaces of, earth on
which they stand, are the stakes in the
contest, and, first Or last, business gener-
ally wins them. Nothing under the sun
is so despotic and covetous as what We coll
business. business is business" are
three words that tell the whole story. If
there is valuable corner lot occupied by
y temple of worship. Business looks at It
with a cold, gray eye, calls it central
property estimates what it will fetch,
and proposes to buy it. 1t is a great
waste, Business calculates, for such 'fine
property" to be encountered by church,
and yield no dividends. 1t ought to be-
occupied by four-story block Of marble
fronts, that would bring $4,000 year.
Besides, Business don't feel comfortable in
the immediate presence Of the church.
There is something in the mute, sad look
Of its solemn vestibule, that arrests Busi-
ness in the midst of bargains and calculs-
tions, and makes it feel uneasy. So Bus-
ness demands the removal OF the obnox-
ious monitor. And it, is removed. The
ground is sold, the church ediice is toru
down, the dedicated brick and mortar
worked into" new buildings, and Relis-
ion flies Oft to fashionable, outrageous
spot, somewhere beyond Sixteenth street,
and erects another and finer temple. Re-
ligion has made money by the operation,
and so has Business-and all hands are
satisfied. If the questionable denizens,
who swarm in the district east of Sir
teenth street, which Religion has surren-
dered to heathenism, are not satisfied, it
matters little. They don't complain, or
if they were to, the complacent congratu.
lations of the respectable and influential
people, who live in the vicinity of the new
church, would render their complaints in
audible; and if Religion should, now and
then, he troubled by compunctions for
having deserted the poor unfortunates who
can not afford to follow it in its hegira, it
rents cheap third-story hall in the
abandoned district, and provides Sunday
afternoon service for the entertainment Of
those whom it will not premit to worship
in the handsome new church.-H. L. II.

"The War between the States, its Caus-
es, Character, Conduct and Result" by
Hon. ALEXANDER H. STEVENS, is the title
Of valuable work just issued by ZEIG.
LER, McCuRDY & Co., Chicago, ILL.,, and
st. Louis, Mo.
To us this is one of the most interesting
Of all the works produced by the war.
Mr.. Stephens, with rare ability, keeps un-
tagging the interest of the reader, while
he discusses and describes, in most clear,
candid and statesmanlike manner, the diff
ferent phases Of the conflict.
He has adopted the colloquial style, and
the book gives series of supposed dis
cussions between himself and three visi-
tors, who represent the views Of the Radi-
cal Republicans. the Conservatives, and
War Democrats.
This method of writing serves to give
life and interest to the whole history.
Mr.. Stevens differs from all other histori-
ans of the war in regard to its cause he
maintains his position by series Of mas
terly and most carefully framed argu-
ments. The character and conduct of the
war he thoroughly understood, and from
his position as second officer Of the Con-
fedracy, became acquainted with much
that was unknow to other writer's. He
criticises sharply the positions and actions
Of officers, statesmen, and politicians on
both sides. A new field is opened in his
history of the results of the conflict and
in his prophecies of future consequences.
No other writer has grappled this subject,
and we hardly know of another, with the
great statesmanship, and the high culture
of Mr.. Stephens, to undertake the task.
We would state here that we disagree
with many Of the conclusions drawn by
Mr.. Stephens, but no thinking man can
fail to admire the cogency Of his logic, the
power of his arguments, the elegance and
simplicity of his language, and the won
derful ingenuity with which he weaves all
these together to form the intensely inter-
esting work before US.
We know of no work containing so
much valuable information on the subjects
of which it treats. f#
This most valuable work is ssld only by
subscription, and the publishers want an
agent in every town and county.
