THE INTERNATIONAL LINE.-Railway trains
accomplish great feat when they force their
way through the huge drifts that accumulate
on a road during severe snow storm, but it is
fully as great a feat when the captain of
steamer or other vessel during the prevalence
of great gale brings his vessel safely to port.
We published the other day an account of how
the steamer New York of the international
Line outrode the severe gale of the 4th inst. +,

countered fierce storm on her trip from St.

the morning OF wednesday. She also rescued
the steamer Cambridge" during one of the

A Laughing Political Philosopher.

The action Of the late Democratic Con.
vention in Massachusetts Is but another
proof that the party has no common prin-
ciple, except opposition To the Republi.
cans, and no national policy whatever TO
propose. In Virginia and Tennessee the
Democrats vote for negro suffrage; in
Pennsylvania they denounoe Il. In Ohio
they demand that the bonds shall be paid
in greenbaeks In Iowa they insist upon the
strict letter Of the contract, In California
they declare for white mans government
andin Massachusetts, they acquosce IN re.
suits. With the Republicans they every
where denounce extravaganza and demand
economy Indeed, whatever may be said
of the Republican party, however Justly il
may be approached for the unworthy
members who always follow success, and
Tor such faults of administration as may be
fairly charged upon II, il is scarcely rea-
sonable to suppose that the public Nyelffre
would be promoted by the success of an
opposition which has NO common prlnci-
pie or policy.
The Democratic candidates further Illus.
trate the condition OF tho party. In
Pennsylvania the banner bearer Is Mr..
Asa Packer, a gentleman of whom il Is ne.
tually impossible TO say any thing hut that
he Is very rich, and belongs 10 the Bour-
bon wing Of the party In Ohio, Mr.
Pendleton is.a gentleman Of education and
ability, an original Secessionisi, and the

Republlcanism In the S0uth.

IT Is not only IN Chicago and other
cities under Republican administration
that the superiority of Republican over
Democratic rule is shown by contrasting
il with the rule of cities under Democratic
administration; not only in the Northern
States, whore Republicans have held the
reinS OF power, that the same fact il de-
monstrated; but the present prosperous
condition OF the South shows the same
truth, and, considering all the circumstan-
ces, in q manner in the highest degree re-
markabie. ..r,r ~...
Upon the whole, the South was never
more prosperous than it is now. If il ho
true that il is under the control of "carpct-
baggers and scalawagsP thm the South is
under lasting debt of gratitude to carpet
baggers and scalawass, Railways have
been built, repaired, and improved; towns
and cities have been rcgGncratCd with a
new life; agriculture has been fairly revO.
lutionizcd by the spirit of progress, so that
the crops are superior 20 any of previous
years; manufactures have been started !;
commerce has been placed upon the foot
ng of active operations; systcms of pop
ular education have been established +;
schools and colleges OF higher order
have become. successful; where were for,
mcrly misery, degradation and unthrift,
now will be found happiness, intelligence
and prosperity. All this and more TO
come out Of vast scene of desoation
caused by the curse of slavery and the
ravages ot war, in a few short years, is n
grand result whick cnnld have surunp but

Gus; that scenes of terror and outrage &C,
cur which demand the most yigilant care
TO prevent becoming more frequent, and

things are due to the fact that Republican,
ism has not fully trlumphod that the old
crime and barharism have not been all
swept away. The politicians cf the South
lack the capacity of party organization and
party management They have in Nir-
ginia and Tennessee utterly and disgrace
fully failed in these respects. But this is a
mere temporary evil, which will in due
time cure itself The great fact remain,
that in four years the South Ia,

How TO Keep Rats from Destroying
Harness.

ALMOST every person who uses har-
ness has been moro or less annoyed by
having them injured by rats. We give
few hints as TO how this may be avoided,
though everybody knows, or affects to
know, what is best. The receipts here
given are collected from different sources.
Take about teaspoonful of Ceyenne
pepper, mix it thoroughly with quart of
oil, and rub the harness with the mixture.
This, il is claimed, win not only keep rats
and mice from gnawing the harness but
il will also prevent horses and colts from
chewing the lines or halters.
Take two quarts of green lcekS pour
over them one gallon of oil, and let ii
stand u few days before using; the longer
il stands the better.
A little bcnziue rubbed over the harness
AFTER it has been oiled is said to be II sure
preventive, but is not recommended by
many, on account of the idea that it in
lures the leather,
One ounce of alOes to one gallon of oil
win prevent rats from destroying the har-
ness
It. is also claimed by mixing small
quantity, say n tablespoonful, of pine tar
to one quart of on, harness Will be most
oiIeetually protected from any injury; but
if too much is put on the leather will not
absorb it, Ii will collect dirt, besides
making the harness unpleasant to handle.
