The Imperialist---" Manhood and
the Ballot"

The Imperialist---" Manhood and
m the Ballot"
Some of our readers have probably
heard of the Intpviolist-a journal
started in the city of New York four or
five months ago, which advocates the
overthrow of the "bcst government the
world ever saw" and the establishment
of an autocracy, permanent and hered-
.itary, in its stead. 1t is handsomely
| printed. and all its articles bear evidence
of culture and ability. We do not pro-
pose to copy very often from the col
nmns of the MWperiatist, but will ven
ture upon an occasional extract just to
give our readers q taste of its style and
talent. and to keep them posted in re-
gard to n movement which, though it
| has not yet assumed very formidable
proportions. is important and signif-
cant enough to command, at least some
degree of attention. The reader will
be fair enough to keep in remembrance
4 that we don't approve such sentiments
as arc embodied in the following extract
from that journal, to which we invite at
tention with the further remark that had
the writer been present at any of the
voting grounds in this State he would
probably have changed his views in re-
gard to Manhood and the Ballot:"

tremor over him. Fill his soul with
horror that he may brighten his follow

A New York paper says the Sunday

enforcing such law in the "land of

glitters, and the garb of morality and

they do make such effort large share of
blame must necessarily attach to their
skirts. We occasionally see something
in print about immigration in connec-

capital, enterprise and substance would
desire to cast in his lot where such
things can be done without provoking
the interference of the law to inflict a

Hot Weather Precautions.


"A correspondent sdsrs this practical
advice concerning precautiohs for farmers
in extreme bot weather: -
Uso wide rim, light straw hat, with
rather high crown, not closely fitting to
the top Of tho head; have tho rim turned
down oil Ground, pot your handkerchief
iu the crown, and il very warm, pluck
some fne fresh grass aud put between
the handkerchief and the crown, which
will most effectually keep the rays of
tho sun from the braio. When The pores
are we'll open and one perspircs freely,
there is not much danger from tho effects
Of the san, ~ the dry, burning sensation
experienced. Labor early and
lato, and if possible allow yourself q
siesta or good long noouing in the hot.
est portion Of the day. If your work is
near tho house, 80 thatit will be practi-
cable, have on early tea, say at Ave
o'clock, with fifty minutes rest, and then
continue your work un,il evening. Be
cautious about over.taxing the system.
A good rule is mover to get SO much ex-
hausted rs to be unable to rest we'll at
night, snd that you will get up tired in
the morning. This, the constitution will
not stand. Money never will atone for q
broken down constitution, and in no sense
docs over laboring pay. Healthy aud
light food, simple drinks, such as every
farmer can always command, arc the best
bread and butter or the FIRST quality
fruits in their season. All .m., ed
should have ice, but caution il, necessary
as to- Its uso when the body is heated.
Vinegar and molasses in water make o
cooling drink, using perhaps good pro.
portion Of the former. All fixed up
drinks, usually, are not proper to allay
thirst. Indeed, good sound Judgment
goes y long way in getting nfeiy through
