SAVE LIrTLE.-Every man who is obliged
to work for his living should make it point
to lay up little money for that "rainy day, .
which we are all liable to encounter in the
hour when least expected. The best way to
do this is to open an account with a savings
bank. Accumulated money is always safe; it
is always ready for use when needed. Scrape
together five dollars, make your deposits, re-
ceve your bank book, and then resolve to de-
post given sum, small though it be, once a
month or oftener according to circumstances.
Nobody knows without trying it, how easy a
thing it is to save money when an account with
bank has been opened. With such an account
a man feels desire to enlarge his deposit. 1t
gives him lessons in trugality and economy,
weans him from habits of extravaganza, and
is tho very best guard in the world against in
temperance, dissipation and vice.

Grant as. johnson.

The last eighteen months of Johnson's Admin
istration as compared with the Administration
of President Grant during his eighteen months,
show glazing discrepancy in favor of thelatter
The questions to be discussed now are those that
are vital, living, and that touch the interest of
every man in the land-the questions of finances.
These come up in the shape of tariff revenue,
an honest, judicious, economical expenditure of
the nations resources. The party that keeps
nearest to the rigid execution of the measures is
the one for every man who desires the prosperity
Of his country, to support. We have no better
means of testing this matter than by comparing
the last Administration with the present in
financial point of view. During the last year
and a-half of Mr.. Johnson's Administration the
receipts OF the government from all sources,
amounted to $3.50, 3l5, 2O3.O2, while du-
ring the same period of time the receipts I'M
der President Grants Administration have
amounted to $643, 528, 96S 90, making in the ag-
gregate $s7, 2l3 765 go difference in favor of the
Republican Administration. This makes more
than FIVE millions per month, that the Republic.
can Administration is worth more to the work
ing people, than was the Administration of Mr..
johnson during the regency of his apostasy.
Patriotic Republicans and Democrats, this is Il
plain argument and needs no comment TO explain
its lesson. In the department of expenditures,
the odds in favor of President Grant are almost
rs great, and when compared proportionably to
amounts involved, the retrenchment exhibits Il
stronger mark of economy than the receipts.
The expenses Of the government during the last
eighteen months OF Mr.. Johnson's Administration
amounted to 1928, 765, $50. 80. The expenses of
of the government for the same length of time
under President Grants Administration amount
ed to $245, 9l2 629 IL, making decrease Of $780,
S53, 060.77. Measuring the value Of a Repuoli-
can Administration as against Democratic by
adding the increase in the receipts and the de-
crease of the expenses and we have $l7O O66 $780,
81. This is what President Grants Adminstra-
ton has saved the Republic in year and a-haf.
This makes more than nine millions Of dollars
per month that the nation saves by having Re-
publican instead Of u Democratic Administration.
Besides this, our fnanciering has paid off more
than $685. 900, 900 of the public debt in the same
time, making an average of more than nine
millions per month. Thus putting these together
we have an Administration that is worth more
than eighteen millions per month to the nation,
the people and the tax payers. Men who claim
not to be welded to party, men who claim to be
patriotic, favoring an honest payment of debts
and economical management of our affairs should
vote for the Democratic party this fall. Let
the unterrorfed go behind these statements if
they can ~---t -

The Massachusetts, Democracy, having run
John Quincy Adams two or three times unsuc-
cessfully, find it convenient this season to toss
him overheard. He does not work kindly in
Democratic harness. His ideas upon the Chi

cratic proclivities concerning the "Ceestials."

The women have redeemed Wyoming from

LOUIS NAPoLEoN's MEMORY Napoleon Ill. has
an extraordinary memory for names, figures
faces and miscellaneous facts. A German pro-
fessor, who was called to Paris in connection
with the publication of the ''Vie de C;eser,' re-
lates that it was Napoleon's nvariable habit, on
having communicated to him a name or number,
or any brief fact which he wished to remember
to write it down in a notebook kept exclusively
for that purpose, and which always lay upon
his desk. After writing down the memorandum
he would tear the leaf out Of the book read it
over once attentively, and then tear the leaf up
And he tolp the professor that after impressing
fact on his mind by this process, he never
forgot it. The key to this extraordinary faculty
of memory doubtless lies in the TACT that during
his long years of Imprisonment, in early life, he
did not dare TO carry important memoranda
about him. He was obliged to rely on his men,
DRY but that he did not at first trust it altogether
is seen by the fact that, through the force of
habit, be is still obliged TO make sure of a fact
by writing it down. and so fixing it in his mind
instead of trusting entirely TO the sense of hear
ing to act upon his memory.

Is it o. ReDaC6Zic?

From the ruins of the French Empire some
thing has arisen that has the semblance of Re-
public. But is it Republic ? The dethroning
frances greatest enemy and the establishment of
a government by few individuals without the
sanction of the French people do not of them
selves necessarily constitute a Republic. They
are not such in form and may not be such in fact.
The Prussian legions have done much for
France in Kidding her of her monster usurper,
Louis Napoleon. But she has her most critical
period just noag. If either France or Prussia al
lows a set of men to assume to be the govern
ment and arrogate to themselves the formation
of something they choose to term a Republic
without free, full expression of the voice the
French people, she will be derelict in the dis
charge of her duty under the peculiar circum-
stances.
The fall of Napoleon has restored some great
and valuable men to the French people, The
liberation Of Henri Rochefort and the return OF
the illustrious Victor Hugo from exile, with
numbers of others whose talent and patriotism
will be revealed by the removal of Napoleon
from the control of French affairs are suspicious
omens for free government for France.
But nolC is her time. Those devoted to the
cause of Republicanism should not allow the
opportunity to slip unimproved, or allow fresh
intriguers and new usurpers to repeat the game
played by him whose ruin should give them not
less Joy than it does the Prussians exultation.
His was a so-called Republic until its creator saw
his opportunity. Then be destroyed it and on
its ruins erected an Empire. His dastardly acts
cost the nation some of the best blood ofFrance.
1t becomes Frenchmen 10 see that their liberties
are not again lightly trifled with, or snatched
from them BY the remorseless grasp Of a new as
plring despot with the clothing of Republican
about him, and the words of freedom resting
lightly upon his lips.
The Imperial muzzle hes been removed from
the mouth of the press. Ii is now free to assert
itself and TO make itself b. ird and felt for genu-
inc Repubicanisu in France. Let its columns
blaze with gigi Ia Republic 4e!
A decree has been issuet general election
on the 18th of October, 70, q 90 members of the
Constituent Assembly. T press and the ac-
tive Republicans should Sc 10 it that cool head
ed, trustworthy men are elected TO direct the
legislation Of the new Repu tic.

IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER CHASGE.-The Hearth

IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER CHANGE.-The Hearth
and Home finely illustrated family journal of a
high character, hitherto issued by Messrs. PET
rENGlLL & Co., has been purchased by Messrs
ORANGE JUDD & Co., of 245 Broadway, New York,
the well-known publishers of the american Agri-
cuAurist. Messrs S. M. Pettengill Co., whose
great Advertising Agency, established in 1s49,
is one Of the largest and most reputable in the
world, find that their extensive business requires
their exclusive attention, and they therefore
whose long experience and abundant facilities
will enable them not only to maintain the past
high character of the paper, but to add material
ly to its value. The new Publishers also an
nounce a reduction of the terms TO So per year.
The change will not at all affect the american
Agriculturist which will continue on indepen-
IDENTIFY as heretofore. The Illustrations and read
ing matter of the two journals will be entirely
different Either Of the journals will be furnish
ed from now to the end of 1871 (l5 months, at
the yearly subscription rate, viz: the Weekly
Hearth and Home, at So; the Monthly american
Agriculturist $l.5O; or the two for 81.

The Var MiSeTieS.

Who can estimate the amount of human suf-
fering that follows the track of devastating
armies as they roll like flood over vast ex-
tents of country in their onward march to con-
quest, and the subjugation of nations and peo-
pie? million of men with drawn swords
and charged guns, are placed in battle array
against a million others armed in similar
way, to crafty the within and insatiats- am
bition of reckless, heartless monarch.
The French legions meet the Prussian pha
lanx on French soil. The long me of battle
is formed on the one side and on the other.
The French Eagles scream defiance to the SOL
diers in the Prussian blue. The explosion of
a cannon initiates the dreadful carnage. The
soldier falls in his tracks as he rushes into the
magnificent conflict. Rank goes down before
rank, line disappears before line, corps after
corps is sacrificed in the dreadful slaughter,
infantry and cavalry are cut and mangled,
fresh, young manhood, manly strength in the
prime of life, all, all come in for their share of
the terrible carnage whose crimson gore en-
sanguines the sacred soil of France, because a
worn-out monarch chooses to dictate it that his
rotten dynasty might not sink him, and if it
did, that it should be done amid the blaze of
military glory. Think of the desolate hearth
stones that have been made so by the work Of
a few short hours at Verdun Think of the
homeless families who.shiver in chill penury
to-day because of the desolation the devasting
armies have spread over the fair fields of
France! Think of the widows, the orphans,
the brotherless, the fatherless, that the harvest
of death gave to Germany and France alike on
the fated field of Sedan!
How man youthful sops eft t'eir fond
mothers embrace a few week. + life
and spirits, whose sunken eyes "a .heAks
make the scene on the battle field heartrend-
ing to-day! Would that the sad consequences of
wars brilliant entertainments could give place
to more civilizing and outstanding inter-
course between nations and their representa-
tives.The sorrows, the tears, the anguish, the
miseries, the desolation that are the fruits of
the sentimentalites of Royal society, promul-
gated by imperial within, and sustained by
valor brought into service by the dictates of
heartless monarchs, will tell their sad story in
the family circle of their victims long after the
tawdry ribbons and the paltry stars that adorn
King, Emperor and Prince, have faded and
been forgotten. And such is war with its train
of inhuman consequences.

observation-disclosures Richard n Bower
man, was last week removed from his position
as Deputy collectorsof the Port of Baltimore in
consequence of embellishments made by him of
the moneys passing through his hands as
Deputy collector. His liabilities it is reported
amount to about $4,000.
Collector Thomas has been made secure by
Gen. Bowerman, by deciding his property to
him (Thomas). The affair has created much
surprise among the friends of Gen. Bowerman.
1t is thought that his embezzlements extend as
far back as TO the term of Mr.. Webster, under
whom Gen. Bowerman was also Deputy col
lector. Baltus II. Kennard Esq; has been ap-
pointed Deputy collector in General Bower
mans stead. He is gentleman we believe to be
every way worthy of, and competent to fill said
position.
