The New York Tribune, comment
ing on the planks of the Democratic
Platform denouncing the bonds, and
the tariff, makes the following reA
marks;
l. "The bonds of the United
States are not exempt from Federal
taxation. When employed as the ba-
sis of banking or other business, they
are liable also to State and local taxa
tioni otherwise not. Chief Justice
Marshall settled this by a decision
from the bench Of the Supreme Court
nearly half a century ago. We doubt
that even one million of them are held
in Ohio which are not subject to all
manner of taxation.
2. ''The 'claims of the bondhold-
ers' were not nearly all 'bought with
greenbacks.' Some of them antedate
the greenbacks; hundreds of millions
are held by foreigners who never saw
a greenback, and know not that such
exist. They bought the bonds with
coin in open market, paying there
for the market price. The scoun
drels who now threaten to repudiate
them on the pretext set up above,
hate the bondholders because their
loans to the Government defeated the
rebellion. Gen. Rosecrans ought to
be ashamed of their company, and We
trust he is.
"The 'high protective tariff, we are
told, was designed only in the inter-
ests of the New England manufac-
tures;' and then its enormous imposi-
tions on salt, sugar, tea and Coffee
are especially complained of. New
England consumes a great deal more
of these than Ohio does, yet produces
none of them, while salt is largely
manufactured in the close neighbor-
hood of Ohio. Ohio makes pig iron
largely; New England makes little of
it, but buys a great deal. So she
buys coal enormously, paying 81 75
gold per tun into the Federal Treas
ury on large proportion of it, while
Ohio has her coal from mines on her
great river, which pays nothing to the
Government, and whose prices are
hardly affected by the tariff. Ohio
grows wool, which is largely protect
ed, and for which our growers receive
higher prices than any other on
earth; New England produces very
little wool and buys immense quanti-
ties, mainly from the West. The as
that New England is spec
tally favored by the present tariff is
based on falsehoOd and upheld by
malevolence.
"This platform means reputation
-'only that, and nothing more We
shall see how Ohio relishes it.

The Value OfRrains.

Working as an OrdiaTy hand in q
Philadelphia ship yard, until within a
few years, was man named John L.
Knowlton. His popularity was, that
while others of his class were at the
ale house, or indulging in jOllifcatiou,
he was incessantly engaged in study
ing upon mechanical combinations.
One of his companions secured a poo
die dog, and spent six months in teach
ing the quadruped to execute jig on
his hind legs. KnOWltOn spent the
same period in discovering some meth
cd in which he could saw out ship
timber in a beveled form.
The first man taught his dog to
dance splendidly; ; KnowltOn, in the
same time, discovered a mechanical
combination that enabled him to do
in two hours the work that would Oc-
cupy a dozen men, by a slow and La
bOriOus process, an entire day. That
saw is now in use in all the shipyards
in the country. 1t cuts a beam to a
curved shape as quickly as an ordinary
saw mill rips up a common straight
plank.
KnOwlton continued his experiments.
He took no part in parades and tar
get-shOOtings, and in short time after
ward he secured patent for a ma
chine that turns any material what
ever into perfectly spherical form.
He sold a portion of his patent for a
sum that is equivalent to fortune.
The machine was used for cleaning off
cannon balls for the government.-
When the bali comes from the mould
the surface is incrusted, and the Ordi-
nary process of smoothing it was slow
and wearisome. This machine, almost
in an instant, and with mathematical
accuracy, peels to the surface of the
metal, at the same time smoothing
any deviations from spherOidal form.
The same unassuming man has invent
ed boring machine that was tested
| in presence of a number of scientific
gentlemen. 1t bored % inches an
hour, through a black granite, with a
pressure of but 300 pounds to the drill.
A gentleman present offered him S10,-
600 upon the spot for part interest
in the invention, in Europe, and the
offer was accepted then.
The moral of all this is that people
who keep studying are sure to achieve
something. Mr.. Knowlton does not
consider himself by any means bril-
liant, but, once inspired with an idea,
he pursues it until he forces it into a
tangible shape. If every body would
follow copy, the world would be less
filed with idlers and the streets with
Igrumblers and malcontents.-rSc rScien-
tific American.

HOusekeeper's Corner.



A correspondent signing himself J. $.
L. writing 70 the Cincinnati Gazette from
Salem, Ill, gives the following
For the benefit OF your many readers,
you will please publish the following re-
ceipt for preserving green corn for Use at
any time in the year; have used it in
my own family for four or five years, and
have had green corn all the year; and so
perfectly is it kept, that one is surprised at
its natural flavor and the plumpness Of the
grain.
Take the corn when it is sufficiently
matured for table use, remove the husk
from it, and boil it nearly as much as
you would if you were going to use it
on the table let it cool cut it from the
cob take any sized stone jar, put the corn
in the jar with common salt, first a layer
of salt half an inch thick, then a layer of
corn two inches pack. closely; then half
an inch of salt and two inches of corn, un-
til the jar is filed; tie cloth over the jar,
and set it-aWay. Il will not form brine,
and viii only take up a certain quautity
Of salt, 50 that there is no danger Of put
ting too much on &c. To prepare It for use
soak it over night in fresh water, remove
the wafer in the morning, putting on it
fresh water for a short time. Stew and
serve up for dinner"
ANOTHER METHoD.-Mrs.z. A. Lindsay,
Of MontrOse, Pa, gives the following rec
ipe:
HBOil 1t fifteen minutes on the ear, then
dry the grain in pans an hour in the warm
sunshine, next salt 1t just 50 much as will
season it for the table; fill tin cans, leav-
ing half an inch of space. Put gill or so
of water in each can, and leave an appr-
ature about the size of a pin in the cover
for the escape of the gas. Then place the
tins in a kettle, having in It enough water
to reach within an inch of the top of the
cans; then boil moderately three-quarters
Of an hour, then solder mp the vent. The
corn will keep perfectly sweet and good as
it is required to keep" n

ance, knocking his antagonist over the
Hfiat of his back" and completely out Of
time. The laughter and cheers which had
before greeted the Hibernian when he al
ministered heavy blow and kick, were
now changed to a decided grunt of dissat-
isfaction. Again the eombatants came to-
gether, the Irishman feaming at the mouth
John gave him a reception as if cellar
door had been swung to with a gentle
zephyr. Stiffness FeigDed in the crowd as
they viewed with amusement the wreck
that lay doubled up at the foot of the vic
torious Chinaman. When the Irishman
arose and presented to his followers
countenance that looked as if il had fallen
down and stepped in it, a chorus of
"Arrah, bad luck to the spalpeen," arose
on all sides. Only fifteen or twenty of
them attempted to get hold Of the China
man, but a crowd who were bound to see
fair play kept them back, and allowed the
Celestial to go on his way without further
inOlestatiOn.

Miscellaneous.
Walking up the Wrong Man.

The San Francisco Times says; An
Irishman, who had fed from the ntyrant's
heel" to the Gland of the free and the home
of the brave" took it into his head to en-
iov the rights of the Constitution 'tas it
was" or at least as he understood 1t, and
have some fun with a spalpeen of China
man. The Celestial was walking along
the street putting on airs, by breathing
auietlv and minding his own business
the Irishman thought such actions were
wrong. coming from a man who was born
in Asia, and going up to the audacious
Celestial, he commenced to kick, cuff and
Dound him. The rascal tried to get away,
INT il was no go. He was headed of and
Kicked severely for daring to put an end
to the amusement of a free American citi-
zen.
Soon a large crowd collected, many of
whom nearly died with laughter at the
primaces made by the Asiatic when Wig
0rous kick or blow was administered
Among the crowd that cOngregated was a
man who attempted to find out why the
puuishment was being heaped on the Ce-
Iestial. He was told to mind his own
business. He then told John to sail in,
and enjoy the right given to everybody
that of selfprOtectiOn-and he should
have fair play. Again the music COM
meuced, the Celt leading of with cheers of
announcement from his friends. John
came back with slight show of resist

Two Irishmen, green in America,
seeing a dish of grated horse, radish on
the table at which they were eating,
each helped himself largely to the
"sauce," supposing it to be eaten as
potato or squash, and the first putting
knifefull into his mouth, jerked his
handkerchief out of his coat and COM
menced wiping his eyes. "What
trouble yez, JENNY" asked his com
rade. "Sure, and wasn't thinkin'
of my poor ould fathers death, when
he was hung" he replied, shrewdly.
Presently the other, taking as greedily-
of the pungent vegetable, had sudden
use for his handkerchief, whereat
Jenny as coolly inquired, "And
what are you crying for, Paddy dear"'
"Troth," he replied, "that you were
not hung with your father"

Brigham Young, addressing the
women and girls of his dominion, ar

if the superfnity of the female sex is
allowed to take its chances in the

crowds of girls must 60, or be led
astray. He wishes women would see

A CONVENIENT BARoMETER.-A
cup of coffee is a fair barometer if you
allow the sugar to drop to the bottom
of the cup, and watch the bubbles arise
without disturbing the coffee. If the
bubbles collect in the middle the
weather will be fine; if they adhere
to the cup, forming a ring, it will be
rainy and if the bubbles separate,
without assuming any fixed position,
changeable weather may be expected.
So says an exchange.

AN ANT TRAP.-As the season has
arrived for these pests the ants
housewives and others who are
troubled with them, may probably
use the following trap to advantage:
Procure a large sponge, wash it well
and press it dry, which will leave the
cells quite open; then sprinkle over
it some fine white sugar, and place it
where the ants are troublesome.
They will soon collect upon the sponge,
and take up their abode in the cells.
1t is only necessary to dip the sponge
in scalding hot water, which will wash
them out dead Put on more sugar,
and set the trap for new haul this
process will soon clear the house Of
every ant.

Beautiful Sentiment.

A man without some sort of religion is,
at best, poor reprobate, the football of
destiny, with no tie linking him to infini-
ty, and to the wOndrOus eternity that is
within him; but woman without it, is
even wOrse-a flame without heat, rain
bow without color, a flower without per-
fume.
A man may, in some sort, tie his frail
hopes and honors, with a weak, shifting
ground tackle, to the business Of the
world; but a woman without that anchor
which they call Faith, is a drift and a
wreck. A man may clumsily continue a
kind of responsibility or motive, but can
find no basis in any other system of right
action than that of spiritual faith. A man
may craze his thoughts and brain to
thOughtfUlness in such poor harbOrage as
Fame and Reputation may stretch before
him, but wOman-where can she put her
hope, in storms, if not in heaven?

To LADIES. who experience
difficulty in fruit season by hot jars, and
are wont to burn their fingers while
dipping them in hot water, to prevent
breaking, will find the following rem
edy a simple philosophical fact. In
stead of placing your jars in hot water,
procure a small piece Of wire (any
kind will answer,) and when ready to
pour the fruit insert the wire and the
desired result is obtained. The wire
acts as a conductor Of heat, and we
are informed by a Lady in this city,
who has tried the experiment to her
entire satisfaction, that there is less
danger of breakage than by the. usual
mode of dipping them in water. There
is no humbug about this, and it will
repay any lady for her trouble to give
it trial.-TEX, -..-
