STEADY At THE EprM


III cannot b1t nave occurred to thuse
who have followed tie development
OF the labor movement, that the rank
and file Of the producing classes have
failed to keep pace with the progress
of events, and that one Of the greatest
dangers that environs it at the pres
ent moment is the probability that the
apathy manifested will be made use Of
by the leaders of either the Republi-
can or Democratic parties, and that
the shadow Of the substance therein
will be endorsed by and prematurely
grated into the Platform of those who
have or can have no genuine sym
patty with the cause. In other words.
political sharpers, knowing its principles
are destined ultimately to triumph ; and
fearing the result, if those most deeply
interested in their enforcement are
permitted 10 thoroughly comprehend
the Issue, will attempt to forestall such
action by an Ostensible, though disin-
genuous concession. Indeed the de-
yeloPments of the past twelve months
have but tended to confirm our often
repeated expression, than a steady eve,
strong arm, a clear judgment and an
honest purpose are essential to guide
the National Labor Union, in the
eventful crisis through which it is now
passing
But 1t is worthy Of special note
that among all those who have
recently championed the cause Of La
Dor, no prominent politician has as YET
dared to unequivocally endorse the
principles of the Union. While in
England her most far-seeing statesmen
have placed themselves in the advance
guard strange as it may seem, in our
own country the party lash and the
demagogue's plea Of demagogueism
have SO far proved sufficient to deter
even the most advanced from crossinqI
the rubicOn. From present indications
however, this state Of affairs is aboutl
to be changed. With a sagacity which,
the working classes would do well to-
possess, and with an intuition, charac-
teristic only Of the schooled politician,
the wire pullers, cOnceiving that the dis.
ruption of both parties is close at hand
are prepared to take step in ad-
vance; and knowing that heretofore,
such tactics have proved successful,
doubtless intend to try a similar game.
But we assure them they have counted.
without their host. No sympathy is1

AS nothing short of an open and
above board endorsement will con-
vince When their advice is desired
y will be asked for; till that time an
ulumatum is presented. He who IS
not for us is against us-and anv hide

at all hazards.
For years past we have frequently !

BREAD WITHOUT YEAsT.-Scald
about two handsful of Indian
meal, into which put little self,
and as much cold water as will
make it rather warmer than new
milk, then stir in wheat -four till
it is as thick as family pudding,
and set it down by the fire to rise.
In about halt an hour it generally
grows thin. You may sprinkle a
little fresh -four on the top, and
mind to turn the pot round that
it may not bake the side of it. In
three or four hours, if you mind
the above directions, it will fer
ment as if you had set it with
hop yeast. When it does, make
it up in soft dough, -four a pan,
put in your bread, set before the
fire, covered up; turn it round to
make it equally warm, and in a.
bout half an hour it will be light
enough to bake. 1t suits best to
bake it in a Dutch oven, as it
should be put into the oven as
soon as it is light.

Kerosene Lamps.

By taking the following precau'
tons all danger from the explo.
sion of kerosene oil lamps will be
avoided
First--Never I'll kerosene
lamps after dark, but fill them in
the daytime.
Second-Never allow a lamp to
be placed on the mantlepiece.
whether the same has crate OF
a stove fire, as the heat Of the
same will cause the oil TO be more
inhammable, and more liable to
explosion when lighted.
Third-It is common practice
of cigar and other factories to
have their lamps hung on wire
from the ceilings; they should be
removed when not in use, as the
heat Of the stove ascends toward
the ceiling, the effect being the
same as in the second suggestion.
Fourth-Do not allow the wick
to get baked or crusted; trim fire.

Cure FOR WHooP1NG Couch
An M. D. writes in the New York
Tribune: Thousands of children
in this city, especially those of
German parentage, are suffering
from whooping cough, and | wish
to call attention to the following
simple remedy: To one ounce of
dried leaves of the common chest
nut tree add quart of boiling wa
Ter, and when the infusion is cold
give a cupfull three times a day,
the last dose being given when the
patient retires. After "a or sc
hours the patient will be relieved,
and then the dose may be admin
istered in smaller quantity"
Fayetteville observer. [volume] (Fayetteville, Tenn.) 1850-1966, 1870-01-13
Explosion of Lamps.

Our ears are every day panied
by accounts Of kerosene lamps ex.
ploding and killing, or soaring
for life, men, women, and children.
A simple knowledge of the inf1am-
mable nature Of the fluid would
probably put q stop to nearly all
the accidents. As the oil burns
down in the lamp, q highly in
aammable gas gathers over its
surface, and as the oil decreases
the gas increases. When the oil is
ne arly consumed, a slight jar will
often infame the gas, and an ex-
plosion is sure TO follow, dealing
death and destruction. A bomb
shell is not worse. Now, if the
lamp is not allowed to burn more
than half way down, such acct
dents are impossible. Always fill
your lamps every morning; then
you never need fear an explosion.
Great economy can be practiced in
regard to the wicks. There is u
sually one-third of a wick wasted.
By sewing a wick to this unburnt
end, and inserting the same {. e
he small piece, into the lamp tube,
yon can burn more of it; but be
sure to take it out before the part
that joins the wick enters the tube.
Now turn the wick on the edge
and burn down to the joined edg-
'es. Thus o saving on both wicks
is secured. To be sure, the ga
wing is small, but the old adage is
very true ga penny saved is a
penny earned" Halfa teaspoon
full of salt added to the oil of a
lamp which holds pint will take
away the disagreeable odor some
times apparent, and it is said pre-
vent the formation of that danger.
Gus gas. 1t is a simple remedy,
easily applied. 1t is also asserted
that the salt makes the oil last
much longer, but we have only
hearsay evidence concerning it.
Kerosene is the best antidote for a
severe burn or scald. Immerse
the injured part in cold water for
a moment; dry with a soft cloth,
taking care not TO rub at all.-
Then battle in kerosene, and the
terrible pain ceases. We know Of
e little child who put his foot and
leg into a pail of nearly boiling
water. The above remedy was
applied, and in few minutes the
child's screams ceased. We know
not the philosophy of the matter,
but we do know that it is the most
eficacious remedy for severe burns
or scalds in the materia medica.

Care of Horses.

All hardships will tell upon a
horse, as upon any animal, man
included. 1t may not tell at once,
but it will in the future. a horses
life may be shortened or prolong-
ed, IS we have carefully noted in
many instances.
Richard Kinter, an old pioneer
Of Stark, used to keep his horses
till they were thirty years Of age,
and upwards T; and they would do
Z a good days work. They were
fat and in good healthy condition.
A span Of horses on the old home.
stead, were worn out at the age
of thirteen and died in a year or
two after. They were rather a
celebrated team Of brown spitfiie
geldings, the best in the neighbor-
hood. But they were the only OF
nearly the only ones in the farm,
and they did an immense amount
of work. Highly worked, high
ly fed, ruined them. One Of the
horses became blind, first at one
eye, then at the other also: and
90 continued to work. The other
got thick leg, grease and both
were stiff and bent.
Other teams did nearly the
same work with better usage, that
is, less straining, less hard. and
long service at a time, consequent
ly a chance to recruit in the In
TERMS of labor. Here was no ex-
cess OF work or continued labor.
There was q cheerfulness and a
willingness, and a good lively ap.
pearance, with also better con-
dition, making the horse enjoy
bis work. To make a slave of a
brute is like making a slave Of a
man /; it is to be avoided.
A horse willing to do work, and
capable from good treatment, will
not only do nearly or quite the
same work, but doit much longer /;
and it is better to have the last
five years of "well-blo ke" horse,
than the first five years of s new
ly.tutored one there is more work
and more reliability.
We can strain a machine and
abuse it, OF we can oil and take
care. In the one case we get
double the benefit, more or less F.;
in the other we have our broken
down horse. We need not apply
the moral here ; it is too evident.
The merciful man takes care Of
bisbeast; and he has the conscious.
ness of doing right as we'll as the
benefit.-Uticd Herald,
