DEVIIIsH.-7-At the Radical meeting on Sat
urday evening last, DR. Bayne, tie cocred ora
tor, thanked God for the great calamity that
Killed about seventy-fye persons, and wounded
double that number in Richmond three weeks
ago, Bayne regarded this awful and appalling
accident as visitation Of Providence upon the
white race in Virginia. These sentiments we're
warmly and loudly applauded by the mass Of
sable listeners, and strange 10 say, there were
IN that audience men whose faces were white,
who acquiesced in Baynes sentiment and in
the applause which followed its utterance,
without attempting to correct or reprove this
worse than cannibal feeling, which gloated over
the destruction of the lives of so many human
beings. -Novok Journal.

To PREVENT HORSES BEING TEAsED BY
FLIES. Stake two or three hands full Of wal
nut leaves, upon which pore two or three
quarts Of cold water; let it infuse one night,
aud pour the whole next morning into a kettle
and let it boil for quarter of an hour. When
cold it will be fit for use. No more is required
than to moisten sponge, and before the horse
goes out Of the stable, let those parts which are
most irritable be smeared over with the liquor,
viz: between and upon the ears. the neck,

No man of ordinary perception and reflection

No man Of ordinary perception and reflection
can doubt that our institutions are undergoing
a gradual and radical change. No one but an
idiot imagines that the Constitution OF the
United States is aught but a dead letter, an
exanimate form, and that the only Supreme
law of the land is the viii of Congress No
one but blind man fails to see that the checks
and balances adopted by the founders of the
Government for the preservation of cur politi-
cal equilibrium are all destroyed, and the exec
utive and Judiciary department absorbed by
Congressional oligarchy. The only hope ofthe
country is a union of all conservative men,
whether Democrats or Republicans, to wrest
the Government from the hands which now
hold the reins, and which are bent on turning
the car of liberty into Juggernaut of Despo-
tism, crushing beneath its ponderous wheels
the last vestiges of free institutions.
The Washington correspondent of the Baltl-
more Sun says: Advices from radical sources
in Virginia indicate that therepublicans OF thai
State intend to make an appeal to Congress foi
a supplemental reconstruction, on the ground
that the conservatives are melting outrages a.
gainst the Freedmen, and are endeavorlng tt
keep the colored republicans away from tht
registration now going On all over that State. :
It is possible that this is a mere threat but thu
dissatisfaction Of the Virginia radicals at tn
conservative course of Gov. Walker is know
to be strong enough for them to appeal to Con
gress to remand Virginia to the condition 0
Georgia Congress, however, declined to in
terfere in the Richmond mayoralty contest, ant
it is somewhat doubtful if it would heed g de
mand for interference with the general condition
Of affairs"

A Week bay Sermon for Farmer.

We heard a clergyman, on recent Sabbath,
pray that the Lord would bless us with boun-
tlful harvests, making the earth yield her in.
crease for both man and beast Now. for the
poor helpless beasts, this was very merciful
prayer, and we believe it was heard and COM
mended by the Almighty but as fur as man is
concerned, would it not be more appropriate
to pray, "Oh, Lord we pray Thee that man
may be scrlmped for food until he learns, by
his necessities, wisely and well to use the
means Thou hast given him for making the
earth y eld her increase"
We think the Lord does his full share al
ready, at least until man comes nearly up TO
his responsibilities, when we presume God will
increase his bcnefactions on the principle
that He helps those who help themselves
Here we are furnished with soil containing
all the elements OF the growth Of plants and
with the plants each bearing seed after his
kind and all very good. 1t is also ordain-
ed that summer and winter, rain and sun
shine, seedtime and harvest shall not fail ~
The laws Of nature are fixed and the con-
ditions that govern the growth and perfection
of the plant can be surely ascertained and
above ALL nam is endowed with mind
capable not only Of comprehending most of
these laws. but also OF 80 working in harmony
with them as 10 make them las they were in
tended TO beg tributary 10 him.
With so much given the man who does not
succeed does not deserve to- and had better
not pray tor God TO make up his deficiencies
Inc man who prays Tor bOuntiu crops,
While hail his manure goes to waste, and half
the virtue teaches out Of the rest had much
better spend his time and breath in the barn
yard.
The man vino asks that his crops may not
be cut Oil by excess of moisture or means to
underdran, (Which woud prevent both,) is
an intruder with his petition. and is Of the
Glass described by the Apostle: "They ask
and receive not, because they ask amlss."
The man who does not provide proper win
ter shelter for his cattle and sheep, but lets
them Shiyer in the cold winds of winter and
spring, feeding them nothing but dry hay and
cornstalks, and then has the audacity to ask
God that hi, flock, ana herds may be preser-
we'd from the rayagcs Of disease. has not vet
learned the frs, principles of Divine economy,
and his petition will be spurned, for "a merc-
tul man ismercifu to his beast"
In short, the man who does not Use TO the
best OF his ability the faculties God has given
him to study out the laws and workings of
nature; who does not conscicntiously strive 10
improve every year both in the knowledge and
practice Of his work, ha. no right 10 ask
the blessing OF heaven upon his wlllful ignor-
ance or his sinful neglect
On the contrary, the msn who does the
