The Editor-A schooIboy's Compo-
sition.

A schoolboy's composition on "The
Editor" ran as follows in school not
far from Cincinnati:
"THE EDTToR.-The editor is one of
the happiest animals in the known
world. He can go to the circus, after
noon and evening, without paying n
cent; also, to iuquests and hangings.
He has free tickets to piCnicks and
strawberry festivals, gets wedding cake
sent him, aud sometimes gets licking,
but not often, for he can take things
back the next issue, the which he gen
orally does. / never knew only one ed
itor to get lickt. His paper busted
that day and he couldn't take nothing
back.
"While other folks have got to go to
bed early, the editor can sit up late
every night, and see all that's going on.
The boys think it's big thing to hang
ont till ten O'Clock. When | am q man
/ mean to be An editor, so | can stay
out at nights. Then that will be bully.
"The editor don't have to saw any
wood or do any chopping, except with
his scissors. Railroads get up excur-
sions for him, knowing if they didn't
he'd make 'em git up and git. In poll
tics he don't caro- much who he goes for
if they are on his side. Ifthey amt he
goes for 'em anyway, so it amounts to
nearly the same thing. There is great
many people trying to be editors who
can't, and some Of them have been in
the profession for years. They can't
see it, though. If | was asked if |
had rather have education or be cir
Gus rider, l would say, let me 60 and be
a editor"

uou. john p. stockton, OF New Jersey,

The Democracy has regained posses
sion of political power in New Jersey.
The Legislature is theirs, aud they elect
United States Senator in place of Mr..
Frelinghuysen. We sincerely hope that
this occasion will be improved to redress
the outrage by which Mr.. Stockton was
defrauded of his seat, and that this
able, upright and true-hearted gentle
man will be returned once more to the
public couRcils. In no way, could a
more emphatic rebuke be administered
to the practices by which the present
Congress have turned out their oppo-
nents whenever they needed their
places to make q two-thirds majority,
or crafty their own greedy partisans.
The Senate needs such statesmen to
redeem in some degree the shocking
discreGit into which that body has
fallen, and we are very sure that there
is no selection which the New Jersey
Democrats could make that would be
so acceptable to their friends through
out the country. 1t would be an elec-
tion that would have q moral.

NAanured Auccess.V

The condition of affairs in Florida Is
a fine comment on the "assured success
ofrecOnstruction" about which we heard
SO much during the late campaign. The
Legislature of that State usurPed the
right of the people to vote for Presiden-
tial electors, and itself cast the vote OF
the State, at the last election. Not sat
isfied with this, that body at the same
session impeached the Governor of the
State, a Wisconsin carpet baggcr named
REED. Thereupon the Lieutenant Gov
eraor, GLEASON, another carpet bag
person, attempted to assume con-
troll of the Executive authority of the
State. The impeached functiOnary re-
sisted, and has commenced a prosecu-
tiOn against his would be successor and
the Secretary of State, man named
ALLEN, for treason. The Lieutenant
Governor, on the other hand, insists
that he is the genuine Government, and
calls upon the "loyal" people by proca
nation to support him. The whole
truth grows out of quarrel about pub
lie patronage and plunder. Riots are
threatened and general muss appre-
hended. The first fruits of Congress,
sioual reconstruction are luscious in
d'ed. "Let us have peace"

mike the Horse. Work.

Horses were designed as beasts of
burthen, to relieve mankind from IA
tiguing drudgery. 1t does not hurt
them to work hard, if they are treated
kindly. 1t is not the hard drawing and
ponderous loads that wear out horses,
and that make them poor, bsulky and
worthless; but it is the hard driving,
the worrying by rough and inhuman
drivers, that uses up more horse flesh,
fat and muscle than all the labor team
performs.
Consider the ponderous loads that
many teams are required to cart every
day, and several times day, and yet
they appear to grow fatter and stronger
every year. They are treated kindly.
On the contrary, other horses, that do
not perform half the labor, soon grow
poor and give ont, aud the next we hear
of them is, they died with the harness
on. Hard work does not kill them;
but the fretting, worrying and abuse
did the job.
Horses will do all the moving and
reaping on large farm, thrash the
grain, pitch the hay, turn tho grind
stone, saw the wood, and perform almost
all the heavy labor that farmers have
been accustomed to do, and grow fat,
if they are not worried and jerked and
kicked about as if they were living
football.-N. Y. Times.

Cooking Feed for Hogs.

am fattening some 175 hogs his sea-
son, and cook all their food in vats OF
about II barrels each, and of which
there are 8, and cook every day and feed
a little warm; and my stock hogs are
fed in the same way. Two years since
did not cook the feed, but last year and
this I have, and am satisfied that at
least 80. per cent. is saved by cooking
NV hogs increase in weight faster upon

with small amount of beef scraps, say
10 per cent. 10000
I sold last season about 60 900 pounds,
and 1 think the amount will not fall
short of that this season, and am now
slauChtering almost daily. | have no
doubt that for fattening cattle it will
pay large per cent. TO cook their feed.
As to sheep cannot judge. l use tu-
bular boiler, upright, five borse power,

on BUFFERS election:
His re election involves movement
on the part of the Massachusetts, Radi-
Gals to make him the leader of the next
Congress, as the very man of all men to
take the place of "Old Thad Stevens"
II is known that Butler has been any
thing but worshipper Of Gen. Grant,
and II is known, too, that of all men III
the present Congress Butler has proved
the best qualified, from his peculiar
character, to succeed "Old Thai." We
saw hi, on the impeachment rial, in
which Butler, though placed behind
Bingham aud Boutwell,, took the posi-
ton, from the sheer force of his indo.
mit4blc will and his superior abilities,
as the chief manager of the prosecu'
ton. Such man, in view of the cir
cumstances of his re election, will be
apt to assume the leadership in the new
Congress.

We fud the following in the Cincin-
natl Enquirer of yesterday:
Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.l
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, 1868.
A singular movement has been orig
mated by certain politicians, having in
view the casting of the Democratic elec-
toral votes for Grant. 1t is urged it
would influences Grant to . conservative
course, to which he is undoubtedly in
clined. A circular letter on this subject
has been addressed to Mr.. Pendleton,
Governor Stevenson and General Pres
ton, of Kentucky, A. II. Stephens, aud
prominent Democrats of the North. The
following is the text of the letter:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 8, 1868.
GENERAL: In my Judgment, the
wisest thing the Democracy could now
do would be to throw their entire cleo
toral vote for General Grant, as an in
dlcation of the fact that, should he pur-
sue a liberal, generous and magnani-
nous course, they will sustain him. 1t
would also have the effect of not leav.
lng him altogether in the hands of the
adverse faction, and would doubtless
strengthen any purpose he may enter
tain toward the conservative sentiment
Of the country. This vote -caunot pos.
ably do Seymour any good, and thrown
IN the manner suggested would, al
least, produce a conciliatory impress
sion. Very truly, yours, &c.
We give this extract f.r what it i;
worth, While We do not place implicit
reliance upon its authenticity, we re
eogmze 1t as probably Indicative of q
silly enterprise contemplated by East
eFh Democratic politicians to capture
the President whom the Republicans
have just elected.

A Strange Story
The Newey Reporter, an English pa
per, tells this story:

- The ReWey htpOTUFy du LuSiiou pa
per, tells this story:
We have been informed of very
suspicious occurrence in the neighbor-
hood of Gates bridge. 1t appears that
the daughter of farmer in that locali-
ty was receiving the addresses of a
young man, the son Of nelghboring
farmer, but her parents were strongly
opposed to their intercourse; had fire.
Uuently chastised her severely, and sent
her away from home altogether for a
time. immediately after her return,
however, the correspondence was renew
ed: and her parents, finding them to-
gether one evening, took her into the
house and gave her a severe beating.
She escaped from the house, and was re-
turning to her lover, when she was
again taken into the house and the door
closed. Screams and cries were heard
issuing from the dwelling for some time,
but the neighbors on going to the door
found it securely barred, and at length
forcing It open they found the father
and neither looking very excited, and a
rope with a moose on the end of 1T sus-
pended frem pole which crossed the
room. The man got into a terrible
rage at his door being broken, and per-
emptorily ordered them out. Next day
the younger children of the family, in
reply to the queries of their schoolfel-
lows, said that the young man need not
come to look for their sister any more,
as their father and mother had hung
her up, and then carried her away out.
The parents deny all knowledge of their
daughters whereabouts, and the utmost
vigilance of the police has hitherto been
unable to discover any traces of the
missing girl, although more than fort
night has elapsed.

We are not sorry that Butler is re-
elected, and we shall rejoice to see the
Massachusetts, overseer smack and
crack his whip over the atfrighted Rad
ieals in Congress. Butler has indvidu-
ality and pluck-much more than can
be said of the Republican leaders in the
House, and he will show more of them
now, reelected as he was despite all
their efforts. Already we have such
outgivings as these in his organ:
From the Salem Registerl
"The peasioned efforts othired slander
ers have come to naught; the profuse
and reckless squandering of the money
of Wall street and State street has mis-.
erably failed, and the stupendous and
herculean labor exerted has
only resulted in beggarly mi
n rity. Hereafter, We are inclined to
think, the Fifth District will be let
alone by outsiders whose investments
have paid so poorly. Poor Fitzpatrick,
also, not only had the misfortune to lose
his vote, but the added modification of
seeing his candidate in pitiful minori-
ty. We should think Fitzpatrick would
feel like making bee line for the re-
gion of the dead mummies of Chill that
were shaken mp by the earthquake."-

There is q good deal of gossip going

cialin charge of very important de-
partment, who has inaugurated a new
system of social economy. The said
official has taken up his residence in an
eligible portion of his department, and
furnished it in good style, thus at the
same time saving house rent and per-
mitting the Government to defray his
private bills for curtains, mahogany
and clean linen. This same official,
moreover, has been q strong advocate of
retrenchment, and on his accession to
Office applied the guillotine without
mercy to male and female clerks, caus-
ne the fact to be proclaimed far and
near, as an evidence Of stern devotion to
