a sTIMULANT, an INvIGoRANT and an ALTERA-

taking of the first dose, a marked beneficial

condition OF the patient. The pulse will be
stronger and more regular the eye will begin to
lose its dull expression, the muscular and nervous
systems to recover their tension, and the spirits

Grants Message.

If President Grant, or any one of the
Radical members of Congress, has not
yet learned that the organization of q
State under the military bills will bring
only mischief and crime within the limits
OF that State, he is incapable of under
standing what multitude of notorious
facts has made plain.
On the same day that he sent in his mes
sage to Congress, asking for legislation
which would order elections in Virginia
and Mississippi to enable the people to
vote upon the constitutions framed by
the carpet-baggers and negro conventions
in those States, such prominent Radical
members of the House as Schenck and
Bingham more than intimated that there
had been more than enough of legislation
controlled by the atrOcious spirit of the
military bills. Such Radical Senators as
Grimes, and Conkling, and Anthony, in
their refusal to remand Georgia to terri
torial condition, have shown symptoms
OF disgust in contemplating the prospect
OF further dabbling with Jacobin recon.
struction.
The majority of voters in the Republi.
can party are now prepared TO act gener-
Ously toward the Southern States, and
Congressman know this TO be so, and are
changing their course in obedience to pub
lie sentiment on this question. This is
shown by the vote in the House postpon-
ing action on Buffers bill to re organize
the yet excluded States Farms worth was
in sympathy with large majority in the
House in declaring that he was ready to
take up the cudgels in defence of white
men,"
Under such circumstances, a President
with but a fraction of the sagacity and
courage which a man in that office ought
10 have, would see that the time il ripe

is THE CONSTITUTION CHANGING ?-GROw-
IrsG IMPORTANCE OF CONGRESS
There is no doubt that there is a great
undercurrent, ground swell, so to speak,
OF movement in the worlds affairs. But
1t is generally unrecognized, except in
some conspicuous instances where sharp
outlines are thrown against the past so
wildly as TO attract universal attention.
Thus, we have abolished slavery, and all
the world knows it. But we have also
been at work abolishing the historic Cabi-
net. and this the world does not generally
know.
The fact that Congress has been admin
istering this government the past three
years, in substantial independence of the
executive, marks our course toward new
methods Of political development. This
tendency to the limitation of executive
authority is especially worthy of philo-
sophie observation. Under our present
National Constitution, thirds of Con
gress make the laws, and, by means of the
power to impeach, they may create agen
cies to execute them. The taste of this
process is still fresh in the mouth and it is
not disagreeable to those whose palates it
has tickled. How long will it be before
the idea will be advocated that it may be
better to have this power intrusted to a
majority than to require two thirds for its
exercise? Is not the concurrent iudg-
ment OF two large and experienced legisla-
tive bodies safe test OF political action
Is not-so people will reason-the veto
power a relic of past ideas and practices
which we can afford to dispense with?
=
The first step in the work OF enlareing
the legislative authority in the government
is to belittle the influence of the executive.
a. 1t Is also the first step toward the con.
stitutional change which shall finally ex.
tinguish that branch.
a.
IL is therefore in Congress rather than
elsewhere that we.place our hopes for a
successful future. That is the great power
now, and the still greater looming power

An honest Confession.

THE New York Sun occasionally gives
us the benefit of refreshingly candid con-
fession. Not more than week since it
plainly stated, in view of the connection
OF Secretary Borie with the princely dona-
tions rendered to and accepted by General
Grant previous to his election, that honor,
self-respect and the dignity and character
of the government, all combined to inter
dict both the appointment by President
Grant and the acceptance by Mr.. Borie OF
a Cabinet or any other high position.
Especially did the Sun urge the inapposite-
ness of the selection under the circum-
stances, considering the actual unfitness
of the gentleman for the office rendered
him. 1t smacked somewhat of an equiva-
lent returned at the public expense for a
private benefit received, regardless of the
public interest.
More recently the Sun has been equally
frank in regard to the "doom of the Re-
publican party" Abiding to General
Buffers proposed bill for universal am
nesty and impartial suffrage" for the
South, the Sun says: we do not for the
present question, and do not propose to
discuss, the intrinsic wisdom of this policy.
We design simply to call attention TO the
prospect which it opens to the Republi-
can party. That prospect as the Craze
With disabilities removed, the Sun con-
tends that whoever suppOses the money
and the brains of the white rebels will not
be more than match for the negroes and
the few scattering white Republicans in
the former slave States, has a confidence
not shown by its editor, and concludes
that, with the terrible burden of the
heavy taxes all TIE while pressing power
fully against the Republican party, it
must be admitted that no prudent life in
surance company would hesitate to regard
the risk on the Republican party as ex-
tremely hazardous at the present time.
These admissions by so intense a
Radical as Mr.. Dana, the editor of the Sun,
are significant of the means by which the
Radical party expect to retain power, IS
well as the clements which constitute its
strength in the Southern States. For a
party to acknowledge that its only hope of
ascendency is to exclude from participant
cy in public affairs the brains and wealth
of whole section, and admit to its privi-
leges and patronage the thriftless, inlet
tered and debased of that section, is q
singing criticism on the material of its
composition. Our theory of government
is that the intelligence of the people is the
surest safeguard of the general interest,
and that the prosperity of the country is
regulated by the wisdom and patriotism
OF those to whom may be entrusted the
law-making power. The admissions of
the Sun, which are indeed the unvarnished
truth, contravene the whole spirit and
purpose of our political system, and
would incorporate into the creative power
of the government an element, which
must, sooner or later, if it does not pre-
cipitate to its grave" the Republican
party, auarchze and eventually destroy
the whole fabric of constitutional liberty.

A Lovely Beast.

A VAGUE idea seems IN prevail with
some that a good cow makes her milk in
some mysterious way, drawing it from the
depths of her moral consciousness, rather
than from the food which she puts into
her machine. Some farmers seem TO act
upon this theory and thus take pains not
10 supply their COWS with plenty Of good
succulent food. Verify, these Sol Silcox
farmers have their reward; their cows
look meanly, feel meanly, and give as lit
tie milk as possible. These men take no
prizes at agricultural festivals, they envy
those who do, and they are apt to be slow
about paying their grOcers' bills. There
are number of them about the country,
but we trust the last will soon die out.
A good cow deserves better man than
that. A good cow does her utmost to min
lister to our pleasure and profit and de-
serves careful and good treatment. Re-
member that, after a sort, she is violating
her nature to please us. The natural or
wild cow gives milk to suckle her young
for few months and then runs dry some
eight or nine months of the year, while our
cow gives her milk for ten months in the
year without ceasing We deprive her Of
the pleasure of sucking her young and
say to her: "Grind up this fodder into
milk for us-workr' and she does it, pro-
ducing for Us some 5000 quarts of milk
per year. We have induced her to forego
her own pleasure, to forget her child and
to work for us, and, for my part, hold her
to be lovely beast. He, therefore, who
strikes cow, or kicks a cow, or starves a
cow, deserves the stick, the kick and
starvation. When l am king, propose
to myself to keep, for such fellows use, a
breezy knoll, wind always north, the
thermometer at 10 degrees, a gentle, sleety
rain, seasoned with hail, a four-rail fence,
mostly tumbled down; in this delicious
retreat l propose to allow the Sol SilcoXes
to stand, without overcoats, with their
backs up and heads down there they can
chaw their cuds, and perhaps find them
sweet-as the good cows do not
What we ask the cow to do, and what
she does do, is to convert cheap or unin-
viting food into good and dear food. That
is, we put into COW, per day, say
Twenty pounds Of hay, at one-half cent. 10
Nine pounds of sprouts or meal at two cents. Is
and we ask her to produce from it ten
quarts of nice milk, worth at six and q
half cents, some sixty or sixty-fve cents.
| Now, the COW does not wish to do this
she wishes to suckle her calf, to lick it and
play with it, and then to wander at her
own sweet will along the meadows and
bushy pastures. But she foregoes her own
wishes, and pleases US; and more than
that, she does it kindly and serenely. Is
she not then most lovely beast?
Is there any human beast who ever does
so? Nonel not one !-Galary for April

ments used to dress running sores 1t is
stated that beeswax, the usual ingredient
for giving consistency to the ointment, is
melted by the heat of the body, and per
mits the humors to be absorbed by the
linen bandages, which, therefore, in dry
ing, adhere to the wound ans cause great
pain. Trouble cf this kind, it is asserted,
is entirely obviated by the use of paraffine
wax. 1t may also be mentioned here,
that mixture of from one to three parts
of coal tar with one hundred parts Of fine
plaster of Paris, well rubbed together
and applied on lint, or used on a cata-
plasm, has a healing effect upon sores,
and corrects the disagreeable odors from
the suppurating surface.
