a silent anguish upon him too strongly re-

from alarmed consideration. Again: we
observed him, with terror, to be much
overcome by our sole's being aired in a
temporary retreat close to him while the
waiter went ont (as we conceived) to see
his friends. And when the curry made its
appearance he suddenly retired in great
disorder.

OF met who lift the laureled brow,
The echo OF their labor cheers,
The solitudes where forests bow
Before their wand; and future years
shall zee their star unclouded glow
The mueic OF their labor thrills
The lietenlnC leaves Of forests old,
And wakes the wlerd and sombre hills
Where the unhlndered etreamlets rolled,
Which turn the wheels Of humming mills,
In valleys filled with green and gold.
Where FORCES blaze aud commerce MIS-
Our homes with blessings manifold.

Reform the race, aud help 70 swell
The triumphs Of the head and heart;

AND In her softest whispers tell
The secrets, which are Kept apart
From the duh tortoise In his shell.

The telescope with which we trace
The wonders Of the spangled skles;
They gave unto q grateful race,
Tho messenger Of fame which flies,
Swift NJ o thought through realms Of space
Aud the paved path OF steel which lies
Where steeds Of steam In harness race,
They hewed Town the vast wilderness,
And made II blossom white aud red,
They gave us the pillow to bless
Our lardors with abundant bread.
They gave Ms the printing presa,
That minds which hungered might be fed
They made the hours OF labor lese-
And now the hand Obeys the head.
These are the lines he prophet sought
With eager eyes, aud prayers, and Tears,
For now the thcwes are ruled by thought
And brutal men must bow to seera

Frauds IN Sewing Silk.

The sharp eyes Of the worlds" deteoi
tives have been diverted from their inves-
LEGATIONS of false weights, " ''adulterated
drugs" &c, to the consideration Of frauds
in sin. Almost every one, and in feet
we think il safe to say every one who has
been a retail purchaser of silks, has been
1norant Of the fact that they have often
been deceived with regard to their pur-
chases; for instance when they have paid
for a spool Of silk containing 100 yards, if
they had have taken the trouble TO meas
uro it they would probably have found it to
fall far short Of the length represented, and
tho same result would be found in silk sold
by weight
Silk sold by the weight is adulterated
during the process of dyeing. The silk,
az purchased from the importers, il sold at
sixteen ounces to the pound, IL ~ then in
the raw state. In the process OF boiling, a
gum is dissolved, which reduces its weight
by about -four ounces to the pound. In
this state it is given to the dyer, who, in
order to make the ~ ounces equal to 10 or
Is, and sometimes 20 ounces, as the case
may be- he adds n gum to the dyeing solu-
ton which increases in proportion the
weight of the silk.
In spool silk, where there are a certain
number Of yards TO a spool, the deception
ia practiced by winding the silk at Arst
loosely and the outside layers smooth and
polished. In winding the silk loosely much
more space is occupied than in winding it
tight. Another method Of deception is to
make the barrel of the spool considerably
larger than is necessary, aud 1t conse-
quently takes less silk to cover 1t The in-
v~esngators made several purchases Of sew
ing silk Of different manufacturers, and
they we're all found to fall short in weight
or length, except that manufactured by the
Oneida community, which was found in
most cases even TO exceed the length or
weight represented .-,Erenmg Wisconsin.

Political.
The Minority Party Of the Country.

An impression too generally prevails,
even among democrats, that Gen. Grant
was chosen President over Gov. Seymour
by an overwhelming majority of the whole
vote of the people of the United Statea
This is a mistake as any one may ascertain
for himself who will refer to the tabular
statements of the total vote as published in
any of the almanacs of 1869. In four of
the st~ates-Florida Mississippi, Texas and
Vireinia-the people were denied the
privilege of voting. In the remaining states
tho totals of the official regult are as fol
flows:
For Grant ........ ..........2 ,a7a,b6l
For Seymour ........., .......,. 2,8lS,6l2
Majority for Grant .......... asa $50
In the four states which were denied par
t~icipation in the election over three hun
dred thousand votes were cast at the presi-
DENTAL election Of 1850, before negroes
were admitted TO the ballot box. Had these
states voted last November they would have
given an immense majority for Seymour
probably sufficient to have reduced Grants
popular majority 10 n mere nominal figure.
And this is the result after counting for
Grant all the negroes, carpet-bnggers, &c,
which the congressional army in the south
saw fit to lead TO 1.-The ballot box. And this
is the result. too without counting for Sey.
mour any Of the dishanchised voters ofthe
reconstructed states-n very large numter
in the aggregate, Us every one must concefe
who remembers that from fifty TO eighty
thousand white men were disfmnchised in
the single state Of Kentucky.
That Gov. Seymour has the choice OF a
.erge majority of the people entitled TO
vote, and ofan overwhelming majority Of
the white men Of the nation, does not ad-
init of a rational doubt. II is equally clear,
Of course, that the party in congrssi which

to say that such an impulse is too well found
