Was the Giant Ever in the Collection
OF Artemus Nardi

From the Boston Argus
We have expressed our belief that the
Cardiff giant was a fragment of the "a
nous collection Of Artemus Ward. On
referring to the works OF that famous
scientist" we find that he Locates the
loss of one Of his statues at Utica instead
of Syracuse. And il is evident from his
description Of the young man, and the
verdict Of larson in the third degree"
that Mr.. w. referred to a scion ''of one
of the fust families in Udky," and TO an
Oneida county jury. 1t is only such that
are such. Here is Artemus's account OF
the affair, which is humbly submitted to
the regents of the university as a solu-
ton OF the gypsum enigma that evident
" so distresses them:
In the fall of 1856 1 showed my show
in Utiky, a truly great sitty in the State
of New York.
The people gave me a cordial recep-
shun. The press was loud in her praises.
One day as I was giving 4 descripshun
of my Beests and Snaiks, in my usual
howry-stile, what was my skorE and dis
gust to see : big burly feller walk up to
the cage c%ontainin my wax fggers of the
Lords Last Supper. and cease Judas Is

the ground. He then commenced fur to
pound him as hard as he could.

cried /.
SEE he, "What did you bring this pu-
saylanermus cuss here fur ?" and he hit
the wax figgera tremenjis blow on the
he'd.
See I, "YOu egrejus ass, that airs =
a wax hgger-a representashun Of tn
false 'postle."
SEE he, "Thats very well fur you to
say, but 1 tell you, old man, that Judas
Isc&riot can't show hisself in Utika with
impunerty by a darn SITE" with which
observashun he caved in Judassis he'd.
The young man belonged TO one of the
the joory brswt in a Yerdick of arson in
the third degree.

An AGRICULTURAL ODE.
BY JOHN q. WHITTIER
This Cay two hundred years ago.
The Wild grapes by b e river side,
And tasteIeSs ground-nut, trailing low.
The table OF the wood supplied.
Unknown the apples red and gold,
The blushing tint OF peach and pear.
The mirrorof the flower told
No tale OF orchards ripe and rare.
Wild as the fruit he scorned to TIL.
These wales the idle Indian trod,
Nor knew the glad creative skill.
IheJoy OF him who tolls with God.
o, Painter OF the fruits and flowers!
We thankt thee for thy wise design.
Where by these human hands OF ours
In Natures garden work with Thine!
And thanks that from our daily need
The joy OF simple faith is born;
That he who smites the summer weed
May trust thee for the autumn corn.
Give fools their gold and knavesthe Ir pow
Let fortunes bubbles rise and fall:
Who sows q field or trains a flower,
or plantsa tree, is more than all.
For he who blesses most is blest;
And God and man shall own his worth
Who tolls TO leave as his bequest
An added beauty TO the earth.
And, soon or late, to all that sow,
The time of harvert shall be given;
The howershall bloom, the fruitshall grow

4 SniaII-p0X Remedy,

A correspondent of the Stockton, Cali
fornia, Herald writes as follows
Il herewith append a recipe, which
has been used to my knowledge in hun
dreds of eases. 1t will prevent or cure
the smallpox though the pittings are
filled. When Jenner discovered cow-pos
in England, the world of science hurled
an avalanche of fame upon his head ;
but when the most scientific school of
medicine in the world-that Of Paris
published this recipe as q panaeea for
small pox. it passed uuheeded. 1t is as
unfailing as fate, and conquers in every
instance 1t is harmless when taken by
a well person. It will also cure scarlet
fever Here is the recipe as / have used
it, and cured my children Of scarlet fever;
here it is as | have used it to cure the
smallpox when learned physicians said
the patient must die, it cured: Sui
phatc of zine, one grain; foxglove (digi-
tails, one grain; half a teaspoonful of
sugar; mix with two tablespoonfuls of
water When thoroughly mixed, add
four ounces of water. Take spoonful
every hour. Either disease will disap-
pear in twelve hours. For child small
Ter doses, according to age. If counties
would compel their physicians to use
this, there would be no need OF pesthous-
es. fyou value advice aud experience,
use this for that terrible disease.

and a considerable number of Democrat 4
and Wings in the other free States, with
IN their ranks.
This remarkable party only existed for
a short time, but long enough to prepare
theroad i for the organization Of the Repub
lican party. 1t was the forerunner, under
the guidance of John Van Buren, of the
political transformations in 1854 and 1855.
when the free soil principles Of the Buff
falo Platform furnished the material for
that great political rganization-the
Republican party, which, during the last
ten years has put all opposition to naught,
has saved our Union. and is leading it to
social and political success which have no
parallel in the history of the human race.

Democracy in a State Of Chaos.

The New York Citizen, an acknowledg-
ed power in the ranks of the Democracy,
has the subjoined remarkable-remarka-
bic only as coming from Democratic
source--yet the most truthful para
graph:
We hear nothing as to what are Demo
cratic principles at present. Copperhead-
ism was a failure, and died the death it so
richly deserved the proposal to pay our
debt in greenbacks has been repudiated
by the nation; the everlasting colored
gentleman has secured all the rights he
knows what to do with, and few more,
the women suffrage movement has not
the dignity of a party measure. Dcmoc-
racy is In a state of chaos. 1t cannot
undo the irrevocable; it has nothing to
offer as an incentive to persistence. Can
not somebody find us few princip les ?
We are opposed to high taxes and in
favor OF low taxes; but the nation must
pay its debts, and must raise means nee
4ssary for that purpose. We believe. in
economy retrcnchment, and reform. but
so do many other people, and our exam,
pie in this city is not an encouraging one
to follow. We must find a principle or
two, or we shall never get back into pow
er. Who is prepared to furnish the genu,

HISTORY OF TEE POLITICAL PARTIES
OF THIS COUNTRY.

Directly after the adoption of the Con-
stitution Of the United States, the people
were divided into federals and Republi-
cans. The most prominent men in the
federal party were John Adams, Alexan-
der Hamilton and John Marshall The
leaders Of the Republicans were Thomas
Jefferson, Madison, and George Clinton.
Besides these, much influence was exer-
clsed by the younger members, Henry
Clay, Dewitt Clinton and John Quincy
Adams. All these men became the op-
poncnts of the same party. The Repub-
licaus demanded restriction of the powers
Of the general Government, and extension
Of State rights, while the fcderals sup
ported a policy in exact opposition to
these measures. Both parties retained
their names until the close Of the second
administration of Monroe, when the fed
eral party dissolved. Under the admin
istration of John O. Adams, the oppon-
EMS of that administration assumed the
name Of Democrats or democratic re-
gublicans under the leader ship Of Van
Buren and Jackson, while their opponents
called themselves National Republicans,
with Clay, Adams and Webster as their
leaders.
During this period, third party was
formed, whose founders were Thullow
Weed, Thaddeus Stevens aud VIM II.
Seward. This party exercised great in
fuence upon the policy of New York and
Pennsylvania, but in that national policy
it supported the Clay-W Webster party
1t was during Andrew Jacksons admin
istration, that the greatest changes hap
pened in the political parties. y great
many federals went over to jackson, while
a very considerable number Of Democrats
joined Henry Clay. Toward the end OF
Jacksons administration the Clay-Wcb-
| ster party contained most Of the old fed
erals, then called National Republicans.
and the Anti Masons. But as soon as
| Van Buren, had taken the Presidential!
| chair and delivered his inaugural address
/ the opponents of the Democratic party
assumed the name of "Whigs" which
they retained for eighteen years.
Soon after the foundation of the Whie
party, the slavery question became the
leading one in the national policy, which
/ caused, in 1910, the organization of the
Progressive party" which, though
FIRST small in number, finally gained the
ascendency in this Republic, and in con
sequence of long controversy and a sue
cessiul war incorporated into our con-
stitution those amendments which eStab-
| lished forever the equal right Of all TO
civil and political equality Among the
! founders of this party we're: James q.
Blrney, Gent Smith. Joshua Leavitt,
j. G. Whittier and Henry 8. Stanton,
and from this party went forth in 1914

ship of Solomon P. Chase and John P.
