PETER Ill OF RUSSIA Peter III
was drunken, brutal, half-crazed
debauchee. Catherine was beautl-
full, graceful, intellectual, and disco
Lutte woman. They hated each other.
They did not even pretend TO be
faithful to each other Catherine
formed successful conspiracy, de-
throned her husband, and was pro-
claimed by the army sole empress.
After a series of the widest scenes
of intrigue, corruption, and crime.
the imbecile Peter III, who had fled
to the remote place OF Ropscha, was
murdered, being first compelled to
drink Of poison, and then. while
writhing in pain, he was strangled
with a napkin. Whether Catherine
were a party to this assassination is
question which can now probably
never be decided. 1t is certain that
she must have rejoiced over the event
and that she richly rewarded the
murderers.
In the following curious proclama'
ton the empress, Catherine IL, an
nounced to her subjects the death OF
her husband!
"The seventh day after our aeces
sion 10 the throne Of all the Russia
we received information that the lat,
Emperor, Peter Ill was attacke
with a violent collie. That we might
not be wanting to Christian duty, Of
disobedience TO the divine command
by which we are epjoined to preserve
the life of our neighbor, we immedi
ately ordered that the said Peter
should be furnished with every thing
that might be judged necessary L
restorn his health by the aids 3
medicine. Bat, to our great regre
and affection, we were yes erday
evening appraised that, by permission
of the Almighty, the late empero
departed this life" From Erred
erick the Great" in Harper's Maya

Democratic Prospects.

Notwithstanding the pretended
love for Senator Sumner, which the
Democratic papers, oflate, have been
protesting, they DO not seem to look
tavorably upon the proposition made
in some quarters, to take him up as
Democratic candidate for the Pres
idency. Democrats have become
mighty uncertain Of late years.
Chase came very near being nomin-
ated in 1868, and the shrewd ones
claim that he would have been cleo
ted if he had been nominated. They
are only hating between two opin-
ions. If Blair and the Ku-klux wing
OF the South could be choked off
with impunity, then the Democratic
party would be very likely to nomi-
nate an old line abolitionist. if be
could be moulded to their present
purposes. This seems to be CONGO
ded by such papers as the Louisville
C0Hrter-JOurndL and of all those who
are anxious to bury dead issues. At
present the Ku-klux wing seem to
be in the ascendency this appear
ance may be no indication Of the re-
lative strength of the two wings,
however, because the one is, in the
main, rather silent and passive, while
the other is active and boisterous to
the verge of bloody fanaticism. One
thing is certain, that the contest be
tween these two wings of the Dem
ocratic party, whenever the trial of
strength is made, will be fierce and
exhausting to the extreme. The
differences of opinion which we have
indicated can never be reconciled.-
1t may be subdued for the purpose
Of regaining power, but it is an sir
repressible conflict" which must be
fought out to the bitter end.-MI>

A Hint to Farmers.

The following, from tho KaSsacbu-
sets Pl0ughmaa, conveys hint that,
carried out, would prove of much
pocuniary benefit to agriculturists:
THE PROFIT AND Loss.
If farmer kept as nice and exact
accounts with the cattle, the fields,
the orchards, and the crops with
which he has annual dealings, lust
as bis moro careful brother m erchant
docs, he would find q spirit of busi-
ness working into all his habits, and
progress and push would inevitably
follow. The loose notion seems 10
be that here are the fields, and there
the buildings, and a living must
somehow be got ont Of them. But
that will not do ia these days. Ev
cry agriculturist is bound to know
what his farm yields him for his own
consumption, and how much for sale
and then he will be able to get at
any profits by cypheriDg tho differ
ence less the cost OF cultivation.

How TO CHOOSE A WlFE.-Wo ven
turo to give tho following recipe for
the selection Of . wife
"a place for everything and every
thing in its place." said an old man
to his son. 'Select not wife, my
son, who will step over broom
stick"
The son was obedient to the lesson.
CHOW" said he, pleasantly, on q
May day to one of his companions,
81 appoint this broomstick to choose
me a wife. The young lady who
viii not step over il shall have tho
offer Of my hand"
They passed from the splendid sa-
loon to the grove Some tumbled
over the bro0mstick, others jumped
over il, At length . young lady
stopped and put it 10 its place, Tho
promise was fulfilled. She became
the wife Of an educated young man,
and he the husband Of prudent,
industrious and lovely wife. Ho
brought fortune to her, and sho
knew how to save one. tbs not
easy to decide which was under tho
greatest obligations, both were rich,
and each enriched tho other.

HANDLING Tools CoRRFcTLY.-
There are sometimes half a score Of
ways to perform certain operations.
There is usually an easy way and q
hard way to do Il thing. Sometimes
the manno.' refers expressly to quick
or slow, skillfully or awkwardly,
neatly or rudeIy. Whatever may be
the chief aim in performing certain
manipulations, beginners should be
instructed to work in tho best man
ner. Children are instructed to hold
a pen when writing, as well as in
the correct mode Of touching tho
keys Of musical instrument. Thus
it is in handling nearly all kinds Of
tools. Beginners should be instruct
ed how to use every tool or nipple
mept that they are required to WELD.
