ment and exaltation of the State govern
ments. Now no political system like ours
can be secure in which distrust of the
general government is habitually taught
by a great party "A weak central gov
eminent" would be as disastrous to this
country as q collection of weak State gov
ernments. The doctrine of the necessity
of a weak central government was incul-
Gated for two generations by the Democra-
tic party; and therefore when, encouraged
by that doctrine and sustained by it, a fatal
blow was aimed at the government, it pro-
-ceeded naturally from that party. 1t
must, therefore, be distrusted as necessari-
ly disorganizing.
The truth is that there is no antagonism
between the State and the national
systems, and it is as wrong to suspect the
one as to be jealous of the other. The
tendency, indeed, in race like ours, and
with our political traditions, will always
BIZ to the aggrandizement of the State
government. And experience has fatally
demonstrated that the centrifugal force
has been only overcome by desperate
contest. The man who cannot contem-
plate the national government with as
much pride and confidence as that OF a
State is not truly an American. And this
is to be further observed nor will Its
Significance be forgotten-that the cry OF
Capitalization is raised most Justify when
the question is of the protection by the
national government of the unfortunate
people whom the national government
under Democratic control constantly
strove to thrust back into slavery.-Hdr-

A Few Sheep on the Farm.

THE relative profit is much greater from
a small flock than large one. The grain
farmer, no matter how few his acres, can
make money by keeping a few sheep.
There is always room for them somewhere,
and they consume and turn into money
food that otherwise would waste. But he
must be careful not to overstock.
To illustrate, suppose the farmer culti-
Yates only eighty acres, raising grain
chiefly. He keeps few cows and the
necessary teams One fifth of his farm is
in pasture, one-tifth meadow; one planted,
one spring grain, and one wheat. He
thinks he has as much stock as he can
proftably keep, but if he puts on one
sheep to every five acres, he will find their
products clear gain.
In the spring, early, they can run on the
sod which is to be plowed and one sheep
to each acre will not hurt the land, yet
they will live well. After that they can
go into the pasture and will CLEAN after the
cows to advantage. A run ON the stubbl, S
after harvest will not be felt where each
sheep has two acres, and in the fall there
is plenty of feed. Through the winte r
they can do well kept on what the other
stock would not consume, with the addi.
ton of little grain.
Probably the most profitable are some
of the coarser wooled, mutton breeds.
Their lambs sell to the butchers for high
prices, and when fat the sheep fetch as
much as yearling steer. Sixteen mutton
sheep well managed would produce year
ly income of one hundred dollars, where
IT none were kept, nothing would be real
lied.
The greatest drawback is liability to
loss by dogs, and it is a disgrace to any
State to protect its ours so well that they
expel, to certain extent, the only animal
which can cheaper the meat and clothing
of the people-American Rural Home.

Midsummer MaIadies.

The hot solar rays that ripen the harvests gen.
crate many distressing diseases. If the liver be
at all predisposed to irregular ties, this is the sea-
son in which bilious attacks may be anticipated.
A weak stomach, too, is weakest in tthe summer
months and the loss of vitality through the pores
by excessive perspiration is so great, that q
wholesome tonic, combining also the properties
of difdsive stimulant and gentle exhilarant, is
in many cases necessary to health, and under no
circumstances should be dispensed with by the
sickly and debilitated. OF all the preparations
intended thus to refresh, sustain and fortffy the
human frame, there is none that VII compare
with Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters.
They have been weighed in the balance of expe
rience and not found wanting; have been recon-
mended from the first great medicinal spe

Linn nd Ashes as a Wheat Fertilizer.

THE lime that is Stacked and the wood
ashes that is left, after firing the kiln, are
generally thrown to one side and sold at
half the price of pure burnt lime. AS
manure or fertilizer for wheat it is almost as
good as guano or other fertilizers now of
fered for sale. The above mixture of lime
and ashes contains large amount of solu-
BILE salts, and the sulphates, phosphates
and carbonates and lime salts are Just what
the wheat plants want to perfect straw and
grain. Experience has shown it plainly
where the refuse lime has been spread, as
the grain has come to maturity earlier,
growing stiff In the straw, and yielding
large crops of well filed heads of the best
quality of grain. This can be seen mostly
on the farms of lime burners, who haul
the mixture upon their land as it accumu-
lates at their kilns, and the great fertiliz-
ing effect of this manure can be seen, not
only upon their wheat, but on their grass
land. Grasses grow much more luxurious
and have much darker color, and the
clovers and other cultivated grasses grow
above and crowd out the ordinary grasses.
We have found that lime and ashes mixed
as topdressing for clover or for corn,
was worth as much as plaster, if not more,
as it has always helped the corn to grow
faster and caused it to ear better, and gives
us much larger yield with less smut on
the stalks, than corn that had no ashes
and lime applied. Therefore we would
advise our farmer friends to apply lime
and ashes as a fertilizer for the cereals

Is receiving and retaining each day two and
half pounds of poisonf Nature tries to work
off this poison through other channels and
organs-the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc. but
these organs become overtaxed in performing
this labor, in addition to their natural func
tions, and cannot long Withstand the press
ure, but become variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical Gen.
ter of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the
unhealthy blood which passes to it from the
heart, and it fails to perform its office health
fully. Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning,
which are dullness, headache, incapacity to
keep the mind on any subject, impairment of
memory, dizzy, sleepy or nervous feelings,
gloomy forbodings and irritability of temper.
The blood ITSELF being diseased, as it forms the
sweat upon the surface of the skin it is so irri-
tating and poisonous that it produces discol-
ored brown spots, pimples, biotches and other
eruptions, sores, biles, carbuncles and scrof
ulous tumors. The stomach, bowels and
other organs spoken of, cannot escape becom-
ing affected, sooner or later, and costiveness,
and many other forms of chronic disease, are
among the necessary results. As remedy for
all these various manifestations of disease, Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is positive

are changed to an active, healthy state, the
appetite regulated and restored, the blood and

Thinning Out Fruit.

IT would be difficult to give a specific
rule applicable to all cases for thinning ont
fruit. Every orchardist, however, knows
that if trees are allowed to overbear, the
fruit will be proportionately small and far
more likely to be deformed and of inferior
quality. 1t is far better to have a less
aumoer OF specimens and all large and
fine than many small ones, as the former
will usually measure as much as the latter.
and bring more in market. Nearly all of
the large fruits, like apples and pears,
should be thinned WHEN not more than
half grown; and where they are produced
in clusters, it is better to remove but one,
leaving the largest and most prominent
specimen. 1t is also well to notice the
difference in quantity upon the different
branches, and SO thin that no more fruit
will remain on one side of the tree than
the other. This, of course, cannot always
be done, because cold winds or late frosts

The Beginning of the End.

Iva recent speech, Western Senator
declared that the new departure" Of the
Democratic party is but the beginning of
the end that party cannot change front
and live; that the history OF the change
of front by the Whig party proves that:
The fact that the Democratic leaders feel
the necessity of putting forth such plat
form of change is declaration OF failure.
The party has voted want of confidence
in itself. Its repentance is that which SO
often transpires in a condemned mans ex-
perience between sentence and execution.
The fact of itself indicates that the leaders
must make declaration of some sort, in
order to save itself from approaching dis
solution.
But it is one thing for party conven-
ton, made up, in the main, by men who
prefer office to the success of ideas, good
or bad, to vote to take "new departure"
and quite another to get the party to /" de-
part" The strongly Democratic districts
in the Northern States spit upon the new
departure" platform, as they are strong
out any such device to add to their
strength. The leaders of the party in such
districts get the offices they want all the
easier because they oppose any departure
from the old standpoint of copperhead,
pro-slavery Democracy. But the Demo
cratic party in the Southern States must
be consulted before the national party
called Democratic can be considered as
conceding that the amendments shall not
be disturbed The Southern leaders of
that party have no notion of following any
such ideas. The Southern men have not
been consulted, and they never have been
known to follow tamely any Northern
leadership. Mr.. Alexander Stephens,
LOT Ni1a LIANT of a
federscy, has given the world to
understand that he adheres to the old,
time -honored Southern doctrine of State
Rights. He even intimates that the United
States is not made up of one People"
but of peoples" who inhabit the several
States. He thinks the Democratic Ma
tional platform of 1868 is quite as radical
as any the Southern Democracy can be
made to support.
Mr.. Stephens knows whereof he speaks.
He is in full correspondence with the
leaders of the party in all parts of the
South. He is acquainted with the views
of the interest which always dictates
terms to the party with which it consents
to act. Hence his word alone as to what
the National Democracy must do is more
influential than the vote of an Ohio DEM
ocratic State Convention. The Democra
cy does not hope to carry Ohio in Presi-
Dental election, but it must carry the
South with great unanimity in order to
elect President. Hence we may regard
the "New Departure" platform in Ohio
as rash adventure which serves only to
show the desperation of bad, unprinci-
pied party, in its grasp for office. 1t is a
confession of the strength of the special
| and distinguished measures of the Repub-
lican party, and the impotency of the
Democratic party to overcome them. The
introduction of the proposition is an
omen of the surrender-as decisive as
that of Appomattox which will be made
by that party in 1S72.-Ioledo Blade.

No Such Thing as Ku.Klux.

THE present generation II often as
founded by new historical discoveries. The
boy Gee rye Washington never had
hatchet, and SO could not have hackt the
apple tree, and SO could not have made the
magnanimous confession. No such person
as William Tell ever existed, and there
fore he never spared the tyrant Gesler, or
shot the poised apple from his sons head.
Old Put did not kill the wolf, or Ethan
Allen take Ticondaroga, or swear by the
Great Jehovah and the Continental Con-
gress. The Norwegian mselstrom is
myth. And most astonishing of all, be-
cause of later date, no such thing as the
Ku Klux- -Klan exists, or ever existed. JEFF
ferson Davis says so-Governor Warner
swears to it; and now comes the rebel
General Forrest before the Congressional
Investigating Committee, and confirms
the assertion.
Such an array of evidence ought to be
held conclusive, if it were not for a cir
cumstance or two. Every Southern news
paper has for years past spoken of the
Klan as an existing fact. South
ern Legislatures, Governors and eff.
cials have all vouched for it. Hun
dreds of colored men have been shot by
its order. Scores of school houses have
been burnt by its decree. Congress has
legislated to suppress it; and every citizen
in the North of every party believes ia ii,
and yet it is all mistake-a radical
lie." Forrest is ready to take his Bible
oath to that effect. and if that is not con-
elusive, will say so on his word of honor.
In view of such stupendous disclosures, of
what airy nothings is history made? Nei-
ther the worlds records, experience, nor
observation is entitled to the least weight
The next thing will be the assertion that
there has been no rebellion-no war, moth
ing but smiling peace and universal bar
mony. Indeed, the community should
rate things are running, if the late conflict
is actually conceded to have occurred, it
will be claimed that the Democracy sup
pressed the revolt, and Republicans fought
on the side of the South.-Chicdgo Post.

may have blighted the blossoms upon one
side and not upon the other; but by using
little forethought, and making observa-
ton before commencing the operation, an
equal distribution of the fruit over the
whole tree can be established 1t is also
good plan to go about the orchard once or
twice a week and remove any specimens
of fruit that have been stung by insects |;
such fruit, however, should not be thrown
upon the ground, where the larva within
can come to maturity, but should be either
given to hogs or otherwise effectually de-
stroyed. A little attention to such matters
would improve the quality of our fruit
and lessen the number of its insect foes.-

Tricks at Tammany.

To any one who is in any degree familiar
with the history of this country during
the last fifteen years, the performance at
Tammany Hall on the Fourth of July was
exauisitely comical Mr. William M.
Tweed announced that the Democratic
party, whose chief leaders for four wears
desperately struggled to destroy the gov
ernmenr, now propose to wrest it from
the hands of those who, in our opinion,
are betraying it." Mr.. Tweed may take
heart. The hands that hold the govern
ment are those that saved it. The hands
that tried to betray it were not, we be-
ieve, those of General Grant nor of the
Republican party. Mr.. Tweed proceeds
to remark that he and his party friends
hope also to take the government from
"those who are trying to crush out all
principles of equality, liberty, and tolera-
ton" Now as Mr.. Tweed and his friends
are Democrats, and as his party has always
shown its regard for equality by bitterly
opposing the equal rights of people who
were of colored skins, and its devotion to
liberty by justifying human slavery and
struggling to perpetuate it forever, and its
fidelity to toleration by mobbing and
scourging and hanging those who asserted
liberty and equal rights, he will, perhaps,
pardon the American people, who remem-
Der ten years, if they decline to undertake
the saving of liberty and equality by Dem.
ocrati; hands.
The gentleman who made the Erie bill
law-Mr. Tweed's Governor Hoffman
also sent letter upon the subject of gov.
ernment, his idea Of good government and
the duties of an executive chief being IL
lustrated, probably, by the same Erie bill.
The object of the letter seemed to be to
show that In this country we need strong
people and not strong government, and
that the Republican party is centralizing
power. Now in this country we have q
strong people, and therefore we have a
strong government. The technical phrase,
strong government, is derived from purely
monarch al countries, where the people are
not consulted. But here, where the peo-
pie are the immediate source of power
where, therefore, as is often and not un-
truly said, they are the governmen-there
cannot be that opposition between the
government and the people which often
exists elsewhere
1t is the policy of the school Of politi
clans to which Mr.. Hoffman belongs tc
decry what they call the central govern
ment, meaning the Government of tn,
United States. 1t has been their polio,
from the beginning, and that alone mad
the-rebellion practicable. The Democrati
dogma is distrust Of the national govern

How to Purehase a Clothes Wringer.

In purchasing clothes wringer we prefer
one with cog-wheels, as they greatly relieve
the rubber rolls from strain that would other
wise occur, and add much to the durability of
the machine. The next point is to see that
the cog wheels are so arranged as not to fly
apart when a large article is passed between
the rollers. 1t matters not whether the cog
wheels are on one end or both ends of the
shaft; if large articles disconnect them, they
are entirely useless. This is very important,
for as the larger the article the greater the
strain. therefore if the cog-wheels separate so
as to disconnect, they are of no service when
most needed. We have taken some pains to
examine the various wringers, and much pre-
fer the Universal" as lately improved, be-
cause it has long and strong gears (RowelPs
Patent Double Gear, and is the only wringer
with patent stop" for preventing the cog
wheels from separating SO far as to lose their
