England and the War.

England has achieved her usual fortune
in the European war by getting the ill.will
of both France and Prussia. She has also
great Continental powers. She first tried TO
prevent the war but both the bcllgerents
rejected her advice and repudiated her inter
ference in O manner which borlered upon
contempt. She then tried 10 buster and

the possibility of the violation by either

GUM. But as neither of them intended TO
disturb Belgium so long as Belgium in good
faith remained neutral the simulated Juror
in England over q remote contingency only
subjected her TO ridicule; and rs she docs
not seem inclined to do anything about the
secret treaty, her theatrical thunder over
that matter is treated as Of no account in
contest where u million of soldiers are ready
to cross bayonets on the battlefield.
In this war England assumes the came
attitude as in our rebellion. Her Gym.
pnthios will be divided, though she Will
incline rather TO the side of Prussia, Gs
she did In our CONFUSION to that of the Con-
fcderatcs She will cell all she can 10 both,

of the commodities and, if she can keep out

money. She will be pretty sure to get and
keep the contempt and hatred of both who
will, through long years, watch for an OPP
portunity to pay her of in her own coin.
Of tho First NAroLEoS, who called her u
nation of shopkeepers, She has lost all
weight in the scale of European politics, and
has became the tin peddler Of Christendom.

ubiquitous things, when he is reeking

more important than for a child to be

there is nothing that he should see

ReH. Peter Cartwright.

The BelleviIle In.) correspondent
of the st. Louis Republican says that
the venerable Rev. Peter Cartwright
.Iectured on Friday evening in the M.
E. Church, in BelleviIle, to quite a
large audience. He is now in his 88th
year, about sixty-seven Of which have
been spent in the ministry. For a
man of his years, he is remarkably
well preserved, and looks as though he
might attain the age Of one hundred
years. At the outset Of his lecture, he
manifested some degree of hOarseness
from a severe cold contracted during
the recent cold spell of weather, but
as the lecturer proceeded, and he
began to warm up with his subject,
the fires of old became aroused, and
his audience were delighted with the
entertainment afforded them. The lee
turer drew a parallel between Meth
Odism in the Eastern States and in the
Western wilds, and declared himself
much more pleased with the hospital
ity of the frOntiersman, who lived in
his rude log cabin, than he was with
the college-br and kid-glOve gentry
of the East. He also stated that dur
ing his early ministry, his circuit eX-
tended from below Kaskaskia, in the
southern part of Illinois, to Galena in
the North, and that in his rides from
point to point, he was obliged to dis
mount his horse in some broad prairie
and hold him by the bride during the
entire night. The venerable lecturer
also stated that whilst travelling in the
ministry his salary for one year for the
support of himself and family, consist
ing of eight persons, was forty dollars,
and that for the next year he received
the sum of sixty dollars, or one hun
dred dollars for two years. service.
The lecture was replete with matters
of interest, and here and there was in
terspersed with a vein of humor, for
which the aged patriarch is proverbial.

Female Suffrage.

I see in the News two articles on
Female Suffrage, one for, the other
against. Both are very we'll, consid-
ering the stand points each writer has
taken. I will try to answer some of
the questions urged ogainst Female
voting, and then-wCll!
"Would it degrade or demoraIize
woman to vote?7 I think not.
Where women have voted in some
of the churches they stand as fair as
those who have not. 1 am sure the
simple act of voting is not degrading
to either male or female.
"Would it degrade or demOralize
women to mingle with men in the af-
fairs Of the Governments" I think
not. The matter has been fully tested
the last ten years, during which nearly
every man has urged the women to
attend political gatherings, both in day
and night, and many did attend, and
who will say that it degraded or de-
moralized them? Too late in the day
to use that objection.
"Would it benefit the Government
(people) for the women TO vote?" To
answer this. question, will cite one
case and suppose another. It was said
by many Union men that the infu-
ence of the Union lUOmelI during the
great Rebellion, was one of the means
that SaUed our Government. If this
be so, every Union man would say
that woman's influence did benefit the
Government. The Democrats who
tried to defeat the Union party would
say her influence did harm. Should
the women vote, and thereby stop all
the doggeries and gambling hells, the
Temperance and moral men would
say their votes did good, while the
'rOughs" and "whisky ring" would
say they did harm.
"Are yOu in favor Of woman vot-
ing?" Well-hemg If 1 knew they
would vote to stop whisky drinking
and whisky selling, then, yes!
1, like brother 'sNoah," want more
light on the subject, before I take a
stand, pro or con. Yours truly,
FLORA,

Spring Disenses.

As the weather gets warmer, less
food is needed to keep the body warns
we, in our blindness, endeavor to keep
up the same heat, to burn as much in
ternal fuel in July as in January. If
we do eat as much, tire system cannot
appropriate it, it is rejected, it is cast
Out} but in making the effort to cast
it out, natural force isexpended which
ought to have been saved, weakening
ourselves unnecessarily while we were
weak and langnid before; and these
were the very feelings which prompted
US to be doing something to make as
feel better, to improve our general con-
ditiOu, and to increase our strength
The means we used were to force upOn
the stomach much larger arnOdnts thar

much abused organ the additional la
Dor, not only to expend the strength Of
the system unnecessarily, but to cause
irritaiOns, fevers and infammationsy
which bring wreck and ruin to thOus- e
ands every spring and summer-the
deaths in the warm months being near
ly double those in the cooler ones Of
October and November. Health in
creases in the autumn. The health.
strength and. bodily enjoyment of all
communities increase as the weather
begins to cool in the first days of OctO-
Der; the appetite gradually improves,
because Nature sees that the weather
is getting cooler outside, there must be
more fuel consumed within, and she
instinCtively calls for more food and

new hopes and new ambitions, and q

indisputable physiological truth that
if the instincts of nature were yielded
to in the spring; were cherished in her
desire to take less and less food as the
weather grows warmer, as they are
yielded to in the autumn in taking
more, very large amount of the dis

avoided. The great practical lesson
to be learned in reference to the sub

PhOtOgraDhs.

Many people take a good deal of
pains in "fixing themselves up" before
having their pictures taken. The
most natural likenesses of people are
in their every day attire, just as they
usually appear to their most familiar
friends. But if persons are deter
mined to dress for photographs, it is
useful to know that dark brown, dark
green, maroon and plain black goods.
without gloss, will make rich drab
color. Silks of the same. color will
take considerably lighter. Snuff
brown, dark leather, dark drab, scar
let, cherry, dark orange, crimson and
slate will lake a very rich drab color.
Violet, blue, purple, pink and magen-
ia will take very light, and should be
avoided. The hair should never be
very wet nor glossy, nor should any
oil or grease dressing be used then.

ID7prorement8-A Great Change IN Sic
Vears-Ne,o buildings, Man,gacto-
ries, TtanpiEes, &c.
MANCHESTER, O., May 2, 1870.
Mr.. Editor Six years ago this very
day, your correspondent "Noah," and
the writer of this "might have been
seen" slowly vending their way along
the pike that leads from West Union
to this place. That was my first visit
to Manchester. The town, then, pre-
sented an old, dull, business-fOrsaken
appearance. Upon my arrival here to-
day I was agreeably surprised at the
change those six years have wrought.
It is now full of life and business, and
prosperity appears to be the order Of
the day. More than a hundred new
buildings now occupy lots that wero
then vacant. A large Steam Mill,
Pottery, a Planning Mill, and many
fine large business houses, have been
added to the place.
Among the many new buildings !
notice a fine Church of the Methodist
denomination.
1t was formerly the boast of the good
people of Manchester that they allowed
no whisky or beer to be sold in their
town, but the willy serpent has at last
crept in, while the attention of every
one was diverted by the increasing
prosperity of the village. notice
several saloons" as grOg shops are
politely termed.
That Manchester will become one of
the most thriving towns on the Ohio
I have not the least doubt. The sur
rounding country, which is blessed
with fertile soil and well adapted to
agricultural purposes, is connected
with the town by three good turn
pixies, by which the people have easy
access to the town at all seasons Of the
year.
The politics of the place are decid-
edIy Radical, but old Adams has gone
back to the "weak and beggarly ele-
ments' of Democracy.
But I must close, as the 'skiff boy"
is waiting to row me across to the
"Old Kentucky Shore"

Warning TO tic Tnlemperafe.
Charles Lamb tells his sad expert
ence, as a warning TO young men, in
the following language:
"The waters have gone over me.
But out Of the black depths, could I
be heard, 1 would cry out to all those
who have set a foot in the perilous
flood. Could the youth, to whom the
first cup is delicious look into my des-
OIation and be made to understand
what dreary thing it is to see his de
structiOn and have no power to stop
it; to see all gOdliness emptied out of
him, and yet not able TO forget time
when he was otherwise; could he see
my feVerish eye, feverish with last
nights drinking, and feverishly Look
ing for tO-nights repetition Of the fol-
ly; could he but feel the body of the
death out of which cry hourly with
feebler Outcry to be delivered, it were
enough to make him dash the spark
ling beverage to the earth, in all the
pride of its mantling temptation"

Every person should cultivate nice
sense Of honor. In a hundred different
ways this most fitting adjunct Of the true
lady or gentleman is often tried. For in
stance, one is a guest in a family where,
perhaps, the domestic machinery does not
run smoothly. There is a sorrow in the
house unsuspected by the outer world
Sometimes it is a dissipated son, whose
conduct is a shame and grief to bis pa
rentsi sometimes relative, whose ecCen-
tricities aud Peculiarities are cloud on
the home. Or, worst of all, husband and
wife may not be in accord, and there may
often be bitter words spoken, and harsh
recriminations. In any of these cases the
guest is IN honor bound to be blind and
deaf, so far as people without are con-
cerned. If a gentle word within can do
good, it may well be said, but to go forth
and reveal the shadow of an unhappy Sc
cret to any one, even your nearest friends
is an act Of indelicacy aud meanness al
most unparalleled. Once in the sacred
precincts of any home, admitted to it,
privacy, sharing its life all that you STE
and hear should become a sacred trust. It
is as really contemplate to gossip about
such things as it would be to steal the
silver or borrow the books and forget. 30
return them.
