TuVHE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, though

the trial with greater numerical strength
than it had ever before contained; and
with spirit not less dauntless than would
have animated II had II been successful. It
proved, again, in this event, a. it had
proved in the event Of many past reverses,
that it has vitality which no reverse can
impair, and which, indeed, grows greater
as the work il has 70 do Increases in mag
nitude. Looking 1t its vitality, and At the
nature Of its work, and ct the discordant
and destru etatle elements Of the party op-
posing it, nothing is more certain in the
future than its early return to power. Il
will be this result that will reward every
democrat who has watched and waited and

days Of the past. - ...,....-.e

tainment Of this result with all tho power
it possesses, in the belief that it is abso-
lutely essential to the recovery Of those
rights and liberties Of which the states have
been despoiled, and to the arrest of that
drifting toward Capitalization which if not
stayed, will reduce state lines to the same
consequence as the lines Of counties and
towns. and establish dsspotism ct Wash

any oligarchy of Europe. The states must
again manage their own domestic affairs
in their own way, subject only to the con-
stitution of the United States. Those
which want negro suffrage must have it,
and those which do not want it must not
have it imposed upon them BY any external
power. And SO Of every other domestic
concern Nor will there be return to an
honest and economical administration Of
the government, nor will the public be put
in the way Of just and equitable payment,

Influence of Weather
Health,

The Medical Record, of June 1st gives
the following mine aphorisms" of DR..
Ballard upon the relations Of the atmos-
phere to health
1. That an increase of atmospheric
Temperature is normally associated with a
dim1nution of general sickness o
2. That a decrease of atmospheric tenn
perature is normally associated with a
dIminution of general sickness.
3. That for. the most part increase or
decrease of sickness is proportional in
amount to the extent to which the atmos-
pheric temperature rises or falls
4. That it is an error to suppose Gas is
Ipopularly heidi that sudden changes in
| Temperature are Gas rule) damaging to
public health. A sudden change from
cold to hot weather is indeed very DANA
cling; but sudden change from hot to
cold is one of the most favorable circum-
stances that can occur when sickness is re-
garded broadly as respects large popula-
ton. + a'+'.'.t IS .7,.7
5. That, remarkably enough, these in
fuences are most marked in the direction
| [ have mentioned in the colder seasons of
the year, and more certain in the winter
than in the summer.
6. That rises and falls of temperature
are more CERTAIN and effectual in their
special operation upon public health, when
! at the same time the daily range of tenn
perature is lessened, than they are when
the daily range is at the same time in
creased rises of temperature increasing
more certainly and markedly, and falls of
temperature decreasing it more certainly
and markedly ~ Y Pig a.t' z
7. That fall of rain lessons sickness
generally, sometimes immediately some
times after short interval, and that, as a
rule, the reduction of general sickness is
greater when the fall of rain is heavy
than when it is light.
s. That drouth, on the other hand, tends
to augment general sickness.
| g. That wet weather in the summer sea-
son operates more certainly in improving
public health than it does in the winter
i season.

The Value of Brains.

Working as an ordinary hand ina Phila-
delphia ship-yard, until within few years,
was a man named John l.. Knowlton
His peculiarly was that, while others OF
his class were at the ale houses, or enga
ged in iollifeation, he was necessarily en-
gagged in studying mechanical com
binations One of his companions secu-
red a poodle. dog, and spent SIX months
in teaching the quadruped to dance a
jig upon his hind legs. Knowlton spent
the same period in discovering some
method by which he could saw out
ship timber in a beveled form The first
man taught his dog to dance Knowlton,
in the same time, discovered a mechani
cal combination that enabled him to do
in two hours the work that would occu.
by dozen men, by slow and laborius
process, an entire day. That saw is now
in use in all the ship-yards i'll the country
It cuts abeam to curved shape as quick
ly as an ordinary ,sawmill saw rips up
straight plank. Knowlton continued his
experiments He took no part in parades
or target shootings, and in short time
afterwards he secured patent for a ma
chine that turns any material whatever
into perfectly spherical form. He sold
a portion of his patent for sum that is
equal to fortune. The machine was
used in cleaning off cannon balls for the
Government. Then, he invented a boring |
machine that bored at the rate of twenty
inches an hour througha blockof granite,
with a pressure of but three hundred
pounds upon the drill. He received ten
thousand dollars for part interest in
the invention. The moral in all this is,
that people who keep on studying are
sure to achieve something. If every boz
dy would follow Mr.. Knowlton's example
the world would be less filled with idlers
and the streets with grumblers and NAL
contents. t,,...f,. ...,.,rr.

Her impudence then changes into mod

on the scrub /" trees of the Atlantic shore:
Afew years ago a giant of the forest was
felled in CalaVeras county that was over
three thousand yearsold, taking each con
centric circle in the trunk as indicating
the growth Of year. 1t must have been
a respectable sapling when David, the son
of Jesse, was crowned King of Isreal; and
it was over a thousand years old when
the Star in the East guided the wise men
to the village where the Savior lay in the
manger. There are. forest trees in the
sierras, in vigorous health, single one Of
which would turn out a million feet OF
inch lumber boards enough to build up
a respectable village.
