j PARTY NAiSEs, - Several Of our cotem-
poraries Of the Georgia press are dis
cussing the question of the formation of
q new party, tsembracing all the :ele-
meDts Of Opposition Co radicalism." It
il. s.nEged that the retention OF the De-
moeratio organization, with that name,
is an Obstacle to the overthrow Of the
radicals, and s0fne new organization
ought to be formed against which the
prejudicea engendered by former politi-
Cal contests could not be emaintained.
SO; far as we are concerned, we adhere
to the opinion expressed several times
since the close of the war, viz: That this
is question for the Northern oppo-
nepts OF Fadicalism to determine, not
for us. 4 Asior the people Of the South,
affiliation with the Northern opponents
Of radicalism is to theina matter of ne
cessity. They have nowhere else to go.
Whether that opposition be made in the
name of Democracy, or with some new
name, is all the same to US. We cannot
afford to be governed in this matter by
anything but principle. For us, in our
present condition., to pay any regard to
names, would be the most nonsensical
child play. We can beat radicalism in
the South, no matter what party name
we are known by. If our friends at the
North find the retention of the name
Democratic preiudiciaI to their success
in that section, let them change it. But
let not us of the South concern our
selves about suoh trivial matter as a
party names when Questions of so.much
greater weight demand our attention.

Tx PRESBYTERIAN REUNION. The
Presbyterian Assembly in session at
Pittsburgh, Pa, met in their respective
churches Nov 18th, and after deyo-
tional exercises the Assembly finally
dissolved. An announcement was made
that the United Association would meet
in the First Presbyterian church Of
Philadelphia on the third Thursday Of
May, 1870, after which each Assembly
formed into line and marched to the
street fronting the First Presbyterian
church, where the new and old school
commissioners joined and locked arms,
the union being greeted with tie clap
ping of hands and waving Of handker-
chiefs by the immense crowd present.
The procession proceeded to the Third
church, whore a union meeting was
held. A telegram was ordered to be
sent to the Presby terians Of Great Brit
ain announcing the union. The Scrip
lures were then read and an address
made by Dr. Fowler, who at the close
clasped the hand Of DR. Jacobns and
announced the union complete. I'm
pressive addresses were made by Drs.
Jaeobus, Musgroye, Adams, Hail and
Day, and by Judge Strong, Senator
Drake, VIM. i. Dodge, and others -
DR.. Fisher offered resolution calling
on the church for a thank oifeling OF
$5,000,000 for mission purposes. The
resolution was unanimously adopted.

Nrm RAIn A CmLp BY rHE HAND or
WEnr--It is common practice Of
nurses and parents TO grasp children
by a single hand or wrist, and lift them
bodily as in stepping over CUTTERS,
streams. dc Occasionally child is
seized BY the hand aud swung around
with great force, the body being held
at nearly right angles This feat is not
always followed by immediate in effects,
bat il is liable to result in most serious
injury At this period OF life the ends
Of the long bones are united to the
shaft 10y cartilage, which renders them
weak and liable to be distorted by
force, There are three Of these bones
III the arm, one between the shoulder
and the elbow, aud two between the ell
bow and wrist. The arm ofthe child is
very weak. When extension is made at
the hand, the force is not expended up
on long firm bones, but rather upon
bones broken at several points, and
very loosely united. A small force, far
less than ia required TO fracture a fully
formed bone, will separate tho cartila-
ginons portions, or permanently bend
them. There is also another form of
injury which may occur at the instant t.
OF this | have seen several examples. :
II consists ie slight displacement OF
the cartilages in one of the joints, Ell
ther wrist or elbow, attended by pain,
swelling and tenderness. The joint is
fixed in a semi-hexed position, and the
little sufferer will not allow it to be fix
ed or even handled, 1t can be easily
rectlfied by surgeon, by forciblS fex-
ion and extension. Finally, by lifting
a child in this manner, the Hgaments
absut the joints may be extended, and
this will weaken the joints, and this
weakness may remain as permanent
disability. - Hearth and Home.

Receipt for steMed Reef

Housewives who are in the habit of
using only steaks and rossts, mistake.
4 capital dish may be made out of the
chuck" as the butchers call it, or the
neck, when we'll prepared. Select n
piece of meat as large as the demand of
your table may require, wash it well to
remove all the blood or soil from the
outside, have your dinner pot perfectly
clean, salt and pepper the meat well,
lay II IN the bottom and cover it with
water; boil it from two to three hours,
or till it is thoroughly tender; add half
an onion, sprinkle of sage, thyme or
summer savory.
If the meat is fat, let the water all
stew out half hour before it is put on
the table, and when your meat is brown
ed well on the lower side in the gravy,
turn it over and brown the other side
When ready, take it up, add a little
-four thickening to the gravy, OF if you
have a dredge box shake the flour into
the hot gravy and brown it, then add
boiling water, and you will have a dish
equal, and, to my miud, superior to the
common roast beef upon boarding hous,
tables.
Care must be used to turn it; apC
equally necessary is good Judgment il
having it thoroughly well cooked.-hrs

The London Saturday Reriew, which
is certainly-whateve else may be said
of it-one of the ablest and most
thoughtful of the English journals, has
these reflections:
In the United States we see the inhu.
ence of money in it's worst and most un-
blushing form. Of all the dangers to
which the great Democracy is exposed,
none il so conspicuous, and none so
generally recognized by all thinking
men, as the danger Of downright pecu-
niary corruption. An effort is being
made in England to bring to justice
men vino are accused-rightly or
wrougly-of having defrauded the
shareholders of a great financial COM
pauy. Whatever the result, no one
doubts that the case will be fully inves'
tigated. and that the judges will do
their duty without fear or favor. But
in New York the leaders of commerce
appear to be above law. They use
their power without restraint or con
cealment for transactions in shares
which fairly astOnish the enterpris-
ing British fiuancier, and, when an
appeal is made TO the law in conse-
quence of a quarrel between the con-
spirators, it turns out that each of them
has judge in his pay, and is able to
drag the machinery of justice through
the dirt of the most unblushing corrup-
ton. Certainly no spectacle has been
exhibited in England half so demoral-
izing to the public as the whole course
of the rival manipulators of the great
Erie railroad. Money has doubtless
great influence upon the British Parlia-
ment, but at least it does not influence
member in the repulsive form of direct
bribery. The taxation OF the country
is doubtless determined in great meas.
ure by rich men; but at least we are
not told here that more than half the
revenue escapes through mysterious
leaks between the contributor and the
national exchequer, and we are entirely
free from such mysterious bat powerful
agencies as the notorious whisky ring"
The influence of money in England acts
through what, by comparison at least,
may be called legitimate channels; and
we are not disgraced by paying one set
of taxes to the public and another to
the plunderers of the public revenue.
The wealthy classes may be powerful,
but they have not the power TO mould
tariffs with an exclusive view to their
own pockets.

Who Holds tho Rondss

Hon. Fernando Wood, in late debate
in the House of Representatives, stated
that he "kRew from practical observa-
tiou, and from acquaintance with finan-
cial movements in the city of New York,
that fully two-thirds of all the bonds
held in the United States were in the
hands of New York capitalists" This
view of Mr.. Wood is sustained by the
fact that the tax gatherers in Ohio find
only S20,000,000 of them in this great
State, the third in population in the
Union, and the fourth in wealth. These
great capitalists, who are the best able
to bear State and local taxation, escape
it in a great degree. The burdens of
supporting the Government, protecting
life, liberty and property, fall upon the
lower or middle classes of society. But,
escaping all taxation, these few none
tary kings annually receive an enor.

Matripenial T;a..

Some slanderer of the fair sax writes
of matrimonial infelicities as follows:
Husbands Especially when new to
their happiness) are often puzzled to
know what makes the angel cross, and,
to use an expressive term, cantankerous.
They ask the cause, but they are fen ced
off until chance occurs for treadiug on
their corns. and then the shindy COM
mences in real earnest A lady of this
delightful complexion is completely
happy II she can wind up with a good
cry. The dear creature dissolvcs into
tears and; the man feels himself at once
a brute. This is her revenge. There is
nothlng now for the husband but abso-
iute submission, and a full acknowledge
ment oil MS being in the wrong A wo-
man mas lost her ground forever who
1aiis In her object when she has recourse
to her pocket-handkerchief, and to a
display Of swollen eyes and red nose
Few, however, are stupid enongh to play
this card until their adversary becomes
disgusted with the trick: it is generally
kept back until the right time, and then
used with a Vengeance. Women with
tempers are much more tolerable than
women without. They possess both ac-
aon and spirit, while the tame, equable,
colorless creature has neither. A land
scaDe seen in perpetual sunshine or
moonshine would be dull; it is relief
to see it ,frem time to time stirred by
the wind or in the light of flushed
sunset. Is this the reason why poets
so often marry shrewsi Is it probable
that lady who becomes conscious that
her husband is analyzing her weuld,
out of sheer spite, give him something
TO speculate upon of q hard and prsc-
tical description-she would cross his
vision on broomstick, or
worse again, fit over his brain with a
poker. Tiffs are not sufficient causes
for separation, although they may
lead to the most plenary reasons for
parting. We should think that, in most
instances when they do, the fault
lies with the husband. Marriage is a
science, or, rather fine art. There is
any woman who could not be
reduced by good system and discip-
line to an endurable line of conduct.
Whether every woman would be worth
the trouble of such o training is quite
another question; but, undoubtedly, to
the man who is married there is no
more important task to take in hand.
1t t'requires judgment, GOODNESS, and just
d little clever cruelty. The slightest
sign of weakness (and bullying, mind,
is vulgar admission of incapacity) will
spoil the entire operation. Roughness
of any kind is, indeed most undesirable,
and is only the weapon of clumsy re-
formers. Mild irony and satire, with
the chill off, is much more effectual.

Peke-weed Hardy

4 few months ago some one wrote to
the English Cottage Gardener that he
had seen the Poke-weed or Pigeon-berry
growing in the open air in Belgium
This brought out statements that in
several gardens in England it was hardy,
aud grew Is finely in the open air as it
did under glass. This reads strangely
TO those in this country who are troubled
to get rid of the plant, and who know
that our winters never get cold enough
to kill il. 1t is probably because the
summers are not hot enough in England
that the plant is a rare one. When
loaded with its ripe clusters af almost
black fruit it is fine plant, only with
US it lacks one important quality
rarity.

Buy RcIin bic Seeds.

Many do not seem to consider the
great Importance that attaches to the
quality of garden seeds they plant, and
buy their spring stock at the country
store without regard to anything
but the fact that they are seeds. Now
we know that in many country stores
good seeds are sold, and we also know
that there is great deal of trash dis
posed of. Ifin doubt as to the quality
of the seed on hand, or offered near
home, send off to some scotsman OF
known reputation, and get the needed
supply by mail. All garden seeds, un'
less in larger quantities than farmer
would want, go cheaply and quickly by
mail, and the most remote have equa
advantages with those near large deal
