European News.

After several days of report that
an armistice had been agreed upon be-
tween Prussia and France, for twenty
five days, during which the French
were to hold an election and make q
government, it is now positively stated
that negotiations have been broken off
by the bad faith of the French authori-
ties. Any day, however, may bring an
armistice. The city of Paris has taken
vote on the question of confidence in
the government now attempting to con-
troll affairs. Nearly half million voted
affirmatively, and som e Sc, 900 negative
ly. What Partisan thinks one hour
is but little indication what may be the
state of his mind the next. Resistance
to authority prevails everywhere, and
if the Prussians fear any thingit is that
they may have no authority to treat
with when they want to make peace.
Marshal BAZAINE is out with defence
FOR the surrender of Metz. He pointedly
calls the French war minister liar,
and shows conclusively that starvation
and consequent decentralization com
PEELED his surrender. The charge of
treason against him was palpably ab-
surd from the beginning.
The Pope still keeps himself secluded,
and the King of Italy hestates about
entering Rome in person, evidently
fearing the anathemas of the Church.

0ameronian Faith.

Many Of the Republican papers as
cribe the loss of Congressman and AS
semblymen to the fued existing between
CAMERON and CURTIN, and in this we
have no doubt they are correct. When
General CAMERON claimed to be a
Democrat, it was his invariabie custom
to defeat any Democratic candidate, if
he could, who would not pander to his
schemes. A political opponent was al
ways preferred by him to a personal an
tagonist in his own party, or to any one
he could not use. That he carried this
same policy into the Republican ranks
we have often observed, and that he
will continue to defeat Republican can
didates who cannot be used by him to
subserve his own ends, whenever he
can do it, is just as certain as that he
will follow his common instincts and
practices. CAMERON is a Republican
and a politician for CAMERoN's sake, to
promote his interests and to add to his
power for his own benefit and behoof.
He never had an idea that politics had
any other legitimate purpose than to
make solid cash for CAMERON, and he
is too old to learn any thing different
now. If our Republican friends did
not learn this long ago, they are dull
pupils and well deserve to pay for their
stupidity.
Whatever else may be true about
Governor CURTIN, he at least has the
merit of never trying to defeat his own
party. He is generous and not specially
selfish. Some times reckless but never
unfaithful to party obligations. 1t is
hardly fair, therefore, for his party
friends to condemn him for the injury
arising to them because of the fued be
tween him and CAMERON.
But, as we have no concern in Re
publican domestic troubles, we only
have business with this subject so far
as 1t is an item of current news.

"CoLORED" PEoPLE.-Amongst the
Yankee absurdities that have gained a
footing with more sensible and frank
people is the mawkish practice of
speaking Of "colored" people. Consid-
ering that every body possesses more
or less color, the term is meaningless
unless the exact color be described
black, yellow, white, pink, grey, spot
ted, tan, maroon, copper, &c. Why not
call the Negro by his proper name ?
What dscredit is there in it that does
not attach to him personally by what
ever name he may be called?
That the Negro has been taught to
object to it himself is ofno consequence,
and is merely development of his
monkey propensities. He is certainly
the only creature on the face of the
globe that has objection to being called
by his proper name. 1t is not term
of reproach, or ridicule or opprobrium
in any sense. AS clearly and fairly as
the term Caucasian or European indi-
Gates the white race, does the term Ne.
gro indicate the black. Just that much
and no more. Then call him by his
right name, for the same sensible rea-
son that every body called the Teuton's
son Jacob because that was his name

West VS.. East.

The western Democratic papers are
pretty unanimously demanding that the
next State Convention shall select a
Chairman of the Executive Committee
from that region, and remove the head
quarters of the committee from Phila-
delphia. They claim that the large
Democratic gains in the western part of
the State, while the east is standing
still, is sufficient reason for this.
Without regarding the reason assigned
as at all conclusive, or even applicable,
we favor the suggestion. There is merit
in the energy and driving activity OF
western men, an element we fail to dis
cover in the sordid selfishness of Phila-
delphia politicians Let the western
demand be gratified, put the metal OF
their best men to the test by assigning
them TO the highest responsibilities,
"let loose the dogs of war;" and if these
"frosty Sous of thunder" do not give us
victory they will at least deserve it
which is more than can be said of recent
State Committees.

To which the Lewisburg Chronicle re-

him as cattle follow load of hay, and
he did not dare to stop, fearing that

The carpet baggers in South Carolina
yielded all but one of the country Con-
gressional districts to Negro candidates,
but reserved The city of Charleston for
one of their own choice spirits, who
was to lead and control the whole dele
cation, to do all the bargaininga and sell
ing of votes, and to act in fact as direc-
tor and purser fJr them. But the scheme
didn't work the darkies became un-
ruly and finally ran a bright mulatto,
who is elected by large majority! As
the genus Sambo is usually better than
carpet bagger, the result is not to be
regretted.

CLEANSE Your PREMIsEs.-The warm
weather is here, and it behooves every citi-
zen to cleanse his premises of all offensive
matter in order that they may become pure
and healthy. There is no doubt at all that
a great deal of the sickness visiting families
proceeds from filthy cellars sinks, yards, out
houses styes, &c. These things are neglec-
ted by many, as arc other duties, from pure
thoughtlessness, while others never dream
OF paying any attention to them. There
are several remedies for this most unhealthy
condition of things that can be easily appli-
ed. The first is to put one pint of the liquor
OF chloride of zinc in one bucketful of water
and one pound of chloride, of lime in anoth-
er bucketful of water, add and sprinkle over
decayed vegetable matter For this pur-
pose nothing surpasses it indeed it is a
perfect deodorizer The second is to take
four pounds of sulphate of iron or copperas
and dissolve it in bucketful of water. This
will in most cases prove sure remedy in
destroying all offensive odors The third
is to take simple chloride of lime and sprin-
kle In damp cellars, over heaps of filth, dirty
yards, &c. All these can be had at the drug
gist's and as prices go are not dear
The labor of cleansing ones premises by
either one of these remedies is trihing, and
the expense is not worth mentioning. If
were ten times greater, both the labor and
expenses should be willingly incurred. -

Charcoal in the Dairy.

The power of milk to absorb the noxious
gases and odors from the atmosphere is
known to every dairy man. and this power
extends also to all the productions made
from milk, be they cream butter. or cheese.
Much of the bad flavor in butter and cheese
is not caused so much by any thing derived
from the COW, or the food which she eats. as
by the odors impaired either to milk after
it is drawn, or to the cheese after tits made,
and before it is made, and before 1t is put
in the cloth and rendered imrervious to at
mospheric influences Hence the necessity
of the greatest efforts being made, not only
to keep the dairy and every utensil used, in
a state of perfect cleanliness. but also the
attendants should be in every way cleany
in person, and the air kept pure and uncon-
taminated by any odors whatever. To do
this, charcoal, finely powdered, is probably
the best and cheapest article that can be
used. 1t is capable, when fresh, of absor-
ding ninety times its own volume of ana-
monia or other gases, which can again be
driven out of charcoal by the application of
heat. How much charcoal is necessary, and
where it can best be placed IN the dairy, so
as to absorb all noxious gases, are pointsyet
to be established by experience, and We only
throw out the idea in order that dairymen
may make note of it, and find out for
themselves, by experimenting, the best
ways and means of employing charcoal is an
absorbent deodorizer in the milk room, the
cheese room, or any other part of the dairy
establishment.

A FARMER s SHOP. Every farmer should
have shop fitted up with suca tools as
are used by the carpenter, joiner, machin
ist, and blacksmith, or with those that
would be valuable in making repairs A

desirable. 1t would be impossible to notice
all the advantages of this machine and its
various uses A good lathe costs from 500
to 500, and the money is well expended in
the purchase. The practice on the lathe is
one of the most fascinating pastimes for a
stormy day, or an unemployed evening. A
part from its use in making and repairing,
the foot-lathe is pleasant companion for
the business haunted and brain weary. One
who adopts 1t as companion of his leisure
hours will become an adept. and the more
he uses and becomes acquainted with his
machine, the better he will like it. He will
be surprised at the number and elegance of
the little articles of use and ornament he
can produce from the rough material, aud
