Too much credit cannot be given
to the Company, for their prompts

"SARcAsTIcAL. "--Des Moines, and
Keokuk, are having q lively scrim
mage for the next State Fair. The
Gate City in it's last issue, has the
following paragraph in long article
advocating the claims of Keokuk
which may be understood to be
slightly "sarcastical."
"Des Moines is bidding earnestly
for it. Des Moines, if she gets il
must do all that is demanded Of us
and she would have q larger expense

HINTS FOR Cold WEArHIR.-Ir
feeding farm animals, remember thai
when you place food before an ami
NAL, it is eaten for three purposes: tt
give muscular strength, to supply
heat, o. to make fat or butter. TIL,
more cow consumes to supply mus
cular waste, less goes to milk. The
more she needs to keep herself warm
the less she can yield OF milk or o
flesh. Coarse, rough food, as swan,
hay, butts of corn stalks, and straw
yield some starch and carbon. Thi
/ is the reason why an animal in al
open shed will eat trash which i
would reject in a warm stable. Ye
there is nothing gained by starvin.
them to rough fodder. Good shelte
would be cheaper. The richer th,
food in albumen, the more vigor ant
muscle 1t will make. The tarme

The Portland daily press., 1869-07-19

The New York Commercial Advertiser calls
ment now on foot to shorten the distance be-
tween the Atlantic seaboard and the Pacific,
and declares that it is a matter that New York
is deeply interested in. We presume it means
that New York is interested TO prevent its
consummation. Speaking of the movement it
says:
The Chicago Board of Trade has taken ac-
ton on the matter, and declared In favor of a
direct line of railway to the most eastern shore
Of the continent, touching what they call the
"unrivaled harbor' of Portland, Maine, run
ming along the south shore of Lake Ontario
and from thence by the way of Whitehall and
Rutland, due east to Portland. This new
route is expected to shorten the distance be-
tween the seaboard and the west by several
hours. The intention is to diUert the trade from
the Pacific coast to the Atlantic at Portland as
the most direct route.
To offset, or prevent this, the Commercial
proposes q more direct route from New York
to Chicago and the West.
Railroad communication between Chicago
and Portland will undoubtedly produce the
very result which the Commercial says is in
tended, and its statement of the intention is
somewhat significant as betraying the writer's
opinion of the consequences to New York up
on the one hand, and to Chicago, the West and
Portland on the other.
Communication once effected, the merchants
of Portland will show how little time will be
reanired tn nhriata the obstacles heretofore
standing in the way of diverrtng the trssde OF
the West from the city of New York.

Political Traps.

The Atlas, a paper published in New York
and run in the interests of the unterri6ed
Democracy, Is decidedly of the opinion that
the Society of the Army Of the Potomac
the "Grand Army Of the Republic" and the
Society of the Army and Navy of the Gulf
are political traps, invented by Black Repub-
licans for the purpose of catching innocent
and unsuspecting Copperheads; and warns
that virtuous class to beware of these inter-
nal machines, and all attempts upon their
political integrity. Democrats" says the
Atlas" had better keep out of these associa-
tions." Of course they had, Mr.. Atlas, and
also out of all other associations with which
they have no sympathy, and in which they
do not feel at bome. Let men who, like the
editor of the Atlas, are enrased because "little
Phip was elected to the Presidency of the
first, over the head of the great national SEX
ton; and because General Blair was Missed by
the soldiers and sailors of the Army aud Ma
.vyef the Gulf withdraw from such uncon-
genial companionship as they win be likely 10
find in these patriotic associations Their
departure will not at all embarrass the run
ming of the machine, and will make the asso-
tions absolutely stronger than they would
otherwise be.
We repeat, then, the warning of the Atlas,
and conjure Democrats to beware of these
political man-traps, and the enemy who lies
in wait for their souls.

The Pail Mall Gazette, some time ago, in an
article on the sects of the Russian Church,
mentioned one which we did not remember to
have heard of before. 1t is a sect of worship
pers of Ma poleon. They arc said to have exist
ed since about 1910, in various places. Their
chief seat is now at Moscow, where they hold
meetings, at which they PROSTATE themselves
before bust of Napoleon. They expect him
to return to earth with Peter III. OF Russia,
when the latter will become ruler of the earth,
and Napoleon will rule his armies. They pass
ed round among themselves, pictures placed
between the leaves of book. The police seiz-
ed them but found nothing but representations
of the "Ascension of Napoleon"
