Some of our cotemporaries arc complain
ing because the jury of women in Wyoming
Territory, who tried a murder case recently,
persisted in disagreeing for nearly five days.
They think that after six hours consultation
they should have decided the prisoners guilt
by throwing dice, as masculine juries do some
times.

The REPUBLICAN PARTY AS 1T 1s.-Hon.
John Quincy Adams, in recent letter, accep-
ting the Democratic nomination of Governor
of Massachusetts, makes the following peril
nent comments upon the condition and claims
of the Republican party. He says:
The only real claim of the Republican par
ty, of late, to public confidence, is by parade
of trophies. Without head, OF system, or prin-
ciples, it is held together only by the life of
decay-corruption. Its system of taxation is
the most burdensome and the least democratic
in the world; its currency is the robbery of the
poor, while its vaunted reduction of the debt
has only been accomplished by cruel taxa
ton, which doubles the burden by taking two
dollars from the people for each dollar paid
the public creditor
This scheme of imposts is deliberately and
craftily organized in the interests of associated
capital alone, and is as certainly if not as pal
pably, a violation of every principle of equal
democratic government as was the cognate pol.
icy of the same party, by which two hundred
millions of acres of the peoples homestead
lands have been given away to railroad corpo-
rations. This eunningly devised scheme will
this year take FIVE or six hundred millions of
dollars from the people, and pay it over to the
capitalists who own your mines and mills and
furnaces and salt works, to alleviate their un-
profitable labors, as certainly as if the tax was
openly levied and the bounty avowedy paid.
Under the same system our ocean shipping is
broken up and our shipyards are closed, and
the farming Land of New England no longer
fetches the cost of the buildings upon it. And
that its conspicuous merit in affording protec-
ton to the American workman from the pau
per labor of Europe may be apparent to the
meanest capacity, almost the only article which
it admits duty free is an unlimited supply of
cheap Chinese, imported in lots to suit capital
ists /"

ADDRESS OF THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE Samuel ]. Randall, chair
man of the National Executive Committee of
the Democratic party, issues the following ad-
dress, congratulatory upon the recent victories
in Northern States:
The National Democratic Congressional Res
ident Committee tender their congratulations
to the Democratic and Conservative voters Of
the three great States of Pennsylvania, Indiana
and Ohio, for their recent successes over the
corruptions of radicalism, aided, as the Radi-
Gals have been, by profigate and desperate
administration at Washington.
| In Pennsylvania a gain of five members OF
Congress has been secured, the Radical majority
of last year been largely reduced in each branch
of the Legislature, and there is decided ma
| jority in the State on the popular vote against
| the administration. In Indiana the State has
the election of the Democratic and Conserya-
tive State ticket, carrying with it gain of two
members of Congress and majority in each
branch of the Legislature. Economy and re-
form are thus made sure to the people of that
State in the immediate future.
In Ohio the Radical majority of two years
ago has been reduced more than one-half and
| the leader of the Radical corruptionists in the
present Congress been defeated.
We now appeal to the Democratic and Con-
seryatiye voters of the States in which elections
are about to be held to make further and more
determined efforts in behalf of restoration Of
an honest administration. We ask that they
disregard threats from any central source, and
pay no attention in any respect to the proposed
use of the military power of the government in
the local management of elections in the States
Let the doors Of our organization be thrown
wide open for the admission of all who desire
economy and honesty in the management of
the public treasury, so that the present burden
of taxation may be thereby mitigated, regard
less of former issues or past political association
or name, and bring about entire cooperation
among all who seek restoration of the Union
founded upon peace and good will among their
fellow men, and return to strict integrity
among the public officers of the nation.

TABLES TURNED.-When used to tend a
store in Syracuse the old man came around one
day, and says he: "Boys, the one that sells the

stories told in praise of goods just about that
time; but the tallest talker, and the one that
had more cheek than any of US, was certain
Jonas Seuires, who roomed with me. He could
take dollar out of mans pocket when the
man only intended to spend a sixpence, and
the women, Lord bless you they just handed
over their pocket books to him and let him lay
out what he liked for them. One night 10.

the bed clothes for an instant. then rip, tear,

A DULL CLERK-Pickernel, successful
drv goods merchant of Boston, was waited upon
at his hotel by gentleman farmer who was
desirous of getting boy, for whom he was
guardian, q place in Boston. Of course he
was an uncommon smart boy; quick at figures,
strong of intuition and every wayft, he should
Judge, to become merchant. Pickernel
thought it over, and said he would try and
make place for him. In due time the boy
arrived at Pickerneps store, his broad face
ruddy with health and soapy from the morning
wash, his hair slicked, his clothes new and un-
comfortable, and a stiff dickey cutting his ears.
he announced himself as the boy, &c.
"Ahl you are the boy, are your" said Pick
ernel.
eyes, s'pose so," replied the youngster.
"Well, come in here, then am very busy,
but will examine you in few practical ques'
tions."
The boy came in and sitting down on the
desk, swung his heels underneath it as though
he felt entirely at home, waiting the questions.
'sWell," said Pickernel, suppose lady
should come in here and buy dress of fifteen
and 8 half yards of calico for eleven and a
half cents yard what would it come to 2"
The boy looked at his questioner, at the cell
ing, at the floor, in state of great bewilder-
ment.
t'How much caliker?" he asked.
"Fifteen and half yards"
"What price,"
"Eleyen and half cents"
"Well," said he, "I'm darned if I believe
any woman ever wanted so much cloth as that
for a Dress"
This was throwing up the sponge, and Pick
ernel put another question.
GLOW much would five pounds of tea come
to at seventy-fye cents and three quarters per
pound?"
he received this pretty much the same as the
other, and after waiting minute he asked:
"Was it green or black tea?"
Without answering Pickernel put another
question:
Suppose send you out with two dollar
bill and you should buy fourteen and half
pounds of beef at seven and half cents a
pound, how much would you have left?"
The boy looked at him an instant, and then
INDUCED in low whistle.
"You don't 'spose,' said he, "you could get
beef anywhere at seven and half cents
pound, do yep
Pickernel gave up at this. he asked him no
more questions, but sent him back next day
with letter, stating that be didn't think he
would ans,1er.

WHERE DOES THE Dew CONE FRoM.-To
those who have never given the subject much
consideration there is world of mystery con-
nected with it, and We hear many erroneous
opinions expressed in regard to the subject
There is, however, one principle, if properly
understood, will explain the whole matter. The
atmosphere under certain conditions is capable
of holding an immense quantity of invisible
moisture. That condition is heat. The warmer
the air, the more invisible moisture it contains
The opposite of heat is required to bring the
two gases that always exist in the atmosphere,
oxygen and hydrogen, to that condition known
as water, so that it may be visible to our sight.
We have frequently noticed that when glass
or earthen vessel is filled with cold water on a
warm day, water suddenly forms upon the ves-
sci. We say the vessel sweats. We have
here the proper condition to form dew from
the invisible moisture.
So with the plant. After the suns rays
cease to fall upon the earth, and night sets in,
the earth radiates faster than the atmosphere !;
OF in other words becomes cool before the air
does, and the warm air coming in contact with
the cool earth, congeals, so to speak, the two
gases that form dew. But we find there are
things the dew is heavier than upon others, as,
Ior instance growing piant. Oho PiineiPie
explains this. This plant radiates the heat
faster than the earth, and hence gets an in
creased quantity of moisture. So also does it
explain why, in The cultivation Of crops, the
ground should be kept loose and porous by fire.
quent plowings, enabling it to radiate heat fast
er and cool before the air does By this theory
the reader will be enabled to understand why
rains are apt to follow water courses why tim
bered countries have more and heavier dews
than do the prairie countries; and from this we
shall readily understand the necessity of plant
ing trees over our farms. The more substance
we can collect upon the farm, that will give off
heat fast, the more dew We shall get.

From winnepeg.

CHICAGO, February 10.-At q mass
meeting held at Fort Garry, Winnepeg,
on the Dist ult., letter was read from
Sir John Young, Governor General OF
the New Dominion, in which he says
the people may rely upon it that respect
and protection will be extended to the
different religious persuasions; that
titles to every description of property
will be guarded AID that all franchises
that have existed or which the people
may prove themselves qualified to exer-
else shall be duly continued or literally
conferred.
A message from Granville to Sir John
Young was also received, to the effect
that the Queen had heard with surprise
and regret of certain misguided persons
who had banded themselves together,
to oppose by force, the entrance of the
Lieutenant Governor into our territory
at Red River. Her Majesty does not
distrust the loyalty of her subjects IN the
settlement, and can only ascribe it to Il
Misunderstanding and misrepresen-
.ation. Their opposition to the
change is plainly for their advantage.
She relies on your Government to expel
misunderstanding and conciliate the
good will of the people of Red River.
The dispatch concludes: The Queen
expects from her representative that
as he will always be ready to receive
we'll founded grievances, so will he ex-
ercise all power and authority she has
entrusted to him in support of order and
the suppression of unlawful disturb
ances.
