TIMELY HINTs.-We find the follow
ing timely hints in a cotemporary and
commend them to be serious perusal of
our readers: Now that winter is appro-
aching it behooves parents more than
ever to see that their childred are
clothed in such manner as to protected
them from the inclemency and sudden
change Of the weather. The chief
cause of infantile mortality, in addition
to fonl air, or too ritch or too poor food,
is the false pride of many mothers.
Children are killed by the manner in
which they are dressed as certainly as
| by any other cause. In our changeable
climate children of the most tender age
are left with bare arms and legs, and
with low-necked dresses. The moth ers,
in the same dress, would shiver and
shake with cold, and expect fit of
sickness as the result of their culpable
carelessness. And yet the mothers
could endure such treatment with far
less danger to health and life than their
tender infants can. A mothers refec.
ton indicate the effects of this mode q
dressing, or rather want of dressing, on
the child. The moment the cold are
strikes its bare arms and legs, the
blood is driven from these extremities to
the internal and more vital organs
The result is congestion, to crater OIL
less extent of these organs.

Domestic Matters.

To RELIEVE AsTHMA.-Soak some
blotting paper in strong solution of
saltpetre dry it, take a piece about
the size of your hand, and on going to
bed light it, and lay it on plate in
your bedroom. BY so doing, persons
afflicted with the asthma will find that
they can sleep almost as well as which in
health.
A CURE FOR EARACnE There is
scarcely any ache to which children are
subject so bad to bear, and so difficult to
cure as the carache. But there is a
remedy never known to fail. Take a
bit of cotton batting, put upon it pinch
of black pepper, gather it up and tie it,
dip it in sweet oil and insert it in the
ear. Put flannel bandage over the
head to keep it warm. 1t will give i'm
mediate relief-Erchange.
CEMENT-We have given in these
columns number of recps for making
cement, but here is one very simple and
good: With small camePs-har brush
rub the edges with little carriage oil
varnlsh. If neatly put togeather, the
fracture will hardly be preceptible,

sissippi water, aud made it look as ''clear
as bell' in few seconds by tying a
bit of alum to a string and twirling it
around under the surface of the water
in the glass.-HaNs Journal OF
Health.
GLAZED POTs.-All florists reject
glazed fower-pots as worthless. The
porosity of the pot is essential to the
well breeding of most plants. A sickly
plantin an old or over baked pot, which
has its pores filed up, will often recover
if put into new and porous one.

i" WHERE THE HONEY GOES"

The people are treated to eloquent
harangues on the duty of all good citi-
zens to pay their taxes cheerfully for
the support of the government and the
extinction CT the public debt. The
supporters of the present dynasty at
Washington become enthusiastic over
what they ere pleased to call the hon
esty and economy ot the present admin
istration, and poin, with pride TO the
(allegedl fact that since Grant caIne in
70 power, the revenues have been faith
fully collected ana judieiously applied.
To judge correctly Of the manner in
which the peoples money IS expended
by the revenue department, look at the
salaries Which some of the collectors re
ceiye. The collector Of the fourth
North Carolina district received s12,-
900 last year, and collector of Geor
ga district received nearly $4,000.
The collector of the Chicago district.
who receives only the fees and salary
allowed BY law, has the comfortable in
come of $4,000 year, while the col
lectOrs Of the districts in which New
York, Philadelphia, Boston, Cincinnati
and St. Louis are, no doubt receive
even larger salaries than those named
above. Can there be any valid excuse
given FOR such understandable extrava-
gance Who viii say that the salary
of $4,000 to the collector Of Chicago
district IS not an outrage on the pcople
who pay taxes?
Verify, civil service reform has the
strongest arguments in It's support.

4 WORD OF BUSINESS.

Sometime ago we announced to our
patrons that after the first day Of Janu-
airy. 1871, we should discontinue send
ing our paper to those who we're in
debt to US at that time for over one
years subscription.
We wish to call the attention OF our
friends once more TO this fact.
1t is now the almost universal custom
of newspapers, whether published III
country towns or cities. to require pay
ment for subscription invariably in adj
vance and we are satisfied that is the
true system, but as we have been 50
len;ent in our dealings with our sub
scr.bcrs during years gone by. it would
be rather j / rg step to change from
limitlcss credit to the eish-:n advance
system, all at once hence We adopt.
for the time being, this middle course,
and require az to pay previous to the
expiration Of the year.
Those who Do not comply with this
most reasonable rule will rot recei, e
The DEMOCRAT after the first Of next
January.
We cannot possibly afford to 90 on at
the present rate. Our delinnuent sub
scribers eat up almost the entire profits
of the of;ce, and we work hard during
the year to furnish papers for nothing

than we are. We are satisfied the
fault is Is much our own as that Of our
readers, very many Of whom are al
ways ready and perfectly willing to pay.
never once thinking Of the little amount
they owe the printer. These little sub
s,rption bills of ours are 50 scattered
throughout the country, and are in such
smlI amounts, that, although our debt
ors may be perfectly responsible and
honest, they would hardly pay twenty
five cents on tic dollar, above the ex-
pense Of collecting them.
We dislike to make these statements.
but necessity eompels US to do SO. We
have our workmen to pay, our paper to
buy; rent, insurance, new material, and
the numbcrless ether expenses of a
printing office, and we must have our
earnings to meet these demands hence
we are compelled to adopt the rale We
have referred to. We hope our friends
will appreciate the spirit of these re-
marks, and not only cheerfuliy comply
with this rule, but Go even more, and,
when convenient, pay in advance.

The Railroad Aid Law In Michigan,

A short time ago the Supreme
Court Of Michigan decided that the
Constitution authorized taxation for
pubic purpose, and that to aid rail-
way project was not public, but pri
vate purpose. A large amount of bonds
had been issued in that State by coun-
ties, towns and villages to aid railway
projects, many of which were visionary
schemes, and gotten up to give value to
speculations in lands and lots. At the
recent election held in this State, the
people voted upon a proposed amend
ment to the constitution which, If 1t
had been adopted, would have nullifed
the decision of the supreme court, and
have made valid the railroad bonds that
had been issued under the railroad aid
law; but the people, by very decided
vote, defeated the amendment, so that
the decision of the supreme court
makes all that class of bonds as valueless
as the paper upon which they were
printed
The people Of Illinois, in the adop-
ton of the new constitution for that
State, provide against the railroad aid
system, provision that will save an
immense amount of local taxation and
robbery. While an aid law may occasion
ally help the construction of needed
road, and one that may be remun-
erative, laws IF this character generally
embargo the country with onerous and
unjust taxation, from which the people
should be protected

REPUBLICAN HARMONY.

w lille the leauln8 nepuDlcan papers
are counseling harmony among their
leaders, they not unirequently give the
most convincing proofs of want of that
much needed element themselves. Next
to the divisions which crept into the
general organization of the party previ-
Gus to the last general election, the re-
moval of Secretary Cox by President
Grant has been the most fruitful source
Of party rancor The sequel proved
that the secretary had more friends
than the administration counted upon !;
in fact there were many leading Repub-
licans who openly espoused the cause of
the secretary, that they might improve
the opportunity to ventilate their views
of General Grants administration, as
well as Of some Of the leading men of
the party The Laporte Herald, of last
Saturday, probably surprised its readers
by telling some plain truths on this sub
ject, in this way:
THE indianapolis Journal does not
like Ex- Secretary Cox's political ante
eedents. 1t AYERS that he loved a.
J. Z" with love passing the love of a
woman, and that his heart yearned
toward "my policy 1t further charges
that the Ex-Secretary, in the beginning
was not clear or sound on negro suf,
frage. Now, supposing this to be all
true, what does it lave to do with civil
service rcform-with the question OF
allowing old political harolts to I" levy .
on the salaries Of poor clerks, to raise
money for corruption funds? But if the
Journal wishes to review and criticize po
litical records, it need not 90 so far as tt
pick on citizen of Ohio for animadver
sion. The Journal is regarded by
many as the mouth-piece of Senator
Morton- it is indeed believed by not ;
few, that its bitter attacks on Gen. Cox
are inspired by the Indiana senator
Now we are not about to say that Gov
Morton loved A. j. :. with love sur
passing the love of woman" for thu
Governor was a gay old lover of womeI
in other days. but is matter of histo
~ that he stuck to and fought for And,
johnson, till he disguised and ever
terrified his best friends. Nor can tn
! .Iomnat be ignorant that the SAM
Gov. Morton in public speech, dc
elared broadly and emphaticall,
against negro suffrage. And yet W
presume the editor of our state organ
considers our senator as good q radlca
as himself. We do not gainsay this
but must be allowed to add, that W
deem Gen j. ID. Cox as good Il Reput
lean as either Of them. Is the Jonrnd
willing to let by cones be by cones?

The - Social Evil" at Warasw.

The reputation of our neighboring
village Of Warsaw, for virtue and NOR
atty, has, in the recent past, been none
Of the best. The few disreputable char
acters that have from time to time
found temporary Judgment in our
town, all hailed from Warsaw and
if all reports be true, there were al
ways plenty left. We have no DISPOSE
ton to exut over our neighbors, BY
reason of the superior virtue of our PEG
pie but are truly thankful that our
people are not as their people"
The disgraceful practices of portion
Of Warsaw's citizens, recently became
SO unbearable that the grand jury of
that county, at its recent session, could
do nothing less than indict few dozen
of them. As soon as this action be-
came known, there was futtering Of
the fancy and of many who had previous
~ been regarded as respectable. The
outgoing trains from that usually quiet
village were unusualiy we'll patronized
BY its people 1t made but little diff
ference which way the train was going,
when it was to start, or what kind OF
train it was. They wished to go, and
they went. Fortunately for th5 town,
the census had been completed, else the
showing OF adult population would have
been disastrous.
The h,diaaian, of last week, alludes
to this subject, as follows:
The Sheriff Of this county caused a
commotion among the "soiled doves on
Mo day last. The grand jury having
found an indictI ent against the three
principal houses of prostitution in this
place, as we'll as against the individuals
who own the property in which thew
reside, it became the duty of Sheriff
+, Cisney to cause their arrest, which was
done and all parties required to give
bail. for their appearance to court,
on Monday next. This is the first Sc
rious attempt to break up the "soc:a
evil iii this place by law. We pre-
sumo that no one believes that much
can be. accomplished by arresting the
Inmates and proprietors of these houses
themselves But the fact that the in
dividuals who own the property inhab-
he'd by them, are made parties. in the
indictments, and become PARTIES to the
suit, may, and it is hoped, will have
the effect to deter others from renting
their property to be used for such pur-
poses. We refrain from saying any
thing further upon the subject, previous
to the legal investigation.

THE OLD. OLD Story. On Sl

THE OLD, OLD STORY. On Saturday
young man from Huntertown arrived
with his mother-in law, at the depot In
this city, in search of his wife He
stated that he was employed on gravel
train on the c. r. & l. Il. II Shortly
before mis- wife had induced him to sell
some land for $500, and had insisted
that the deeds be made out in her name
which was done. She then took 500
of her husbands earnings, saying that
she was going to buy him some clothes.
Alas! she bought the clothes for another
man and ran off with him. The moth
erin laws party went to Columbia City,
in pursuit. Truly, it is a sad case of
misplaced confidence. - Fit. Wayne

Schemes to Defeat the Formation of q
New Party.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York journal Of Commerce says:
"The present congress will terminate
on the 4th of March next, and under
the present law the AID congress will
assemble Immediately upon the adjourn
ment of the 41st. An ingenious plan
has been fixed upon to delay the threat
ened coalition between the democrats
and revenue reform republicans, and
prevent the possibility of overhauling
the tariff bill. The plan is to repeal
the law organizing the new congress on
March 4, and by that means to delay
its meeting till the first Monday in
December, 1871. The advantage the
radicals expect to gaiu in this proceed
ing will be contingent entirely upon the
result of the election to be held next
fall They expect by hard work to
overcome the gains of the democracy in
the different states, and to realize a
gain of votes among the congressman
who are certain, without being checked,
to give their votes to the conservative
side Of the tariff question that result to
be the moral effect of republican vic
tory 1t is Omitted that this will be a
hazardous test of doubtful republican
congressman, as it will either awe them
into the patty lines or force them into
conservation bordering on democracy.
If the republicans should happen to
lose Indiana and Illinois next fall, they
will give up further hope. With the
risk of losing Pennsylvania, too, at that
time, their hopes are anything but
brilliant. This question is earnestly
debated here, and congressman on both
sides are looking forward with anxiety
to a detection in republican ranks
;.mcng members in the present house,
as it is rumored that some few of the
western and several southern represent
atives are expected to step out, embold-
ened by the result of the late elections
which they consider an Endorsement OF
the revenue reform movement. With
a nucleus of this kind new party, with
a presidential candidate for 1872, is nc
longer considered an improbabillity. II
is highly probable that the law organ
izine the next congress on the heels OF
this will be repealed to carry out the
radical programme.
