SPEAKER .BLALNES REMARKS At
y "a SARATOGA. 45Rf

GENTLEMEN To so much of this ovation
as may be personal to myself, tender you
my most grateful thanks. l came here as
you all did, to enjoy rest and recreation and
the inauguration of this most delightful re-
sort, and am very sure that the quiet of my
stay Is not broken by this vast coneourse of
| people, for the purpose of paying personal
compliment to SO humble an individual as
myself. Holding as do at present position
OF responsibility in connection with our ma
tional government, l am forced to infer that
the mere fact of your assembling is an invi-
tation for me to speak to you, however brief,
upon the political questions and issues of the
hour, and yet at the very outset gentlemen,
l feel compelled to say that there never
seemed to me to be a time in our history,
when there was less need of speech, or
when the facts of public record carried with
them, as patent to every one, so fully their own
argument, and enforced SO clearly their own
conclusions. Two great parties between
whom the American people divide their SYM
pathy and their support, must be judged, not
by their professions, but by their actions,
where each is in authority. The republicans
are in full power at Washington, and the
democrats bear undisputed sway in New
York. Need / draw the picture which this
brace Of facts suggests to every intelligent
mind? In Washington every dollar that can
be saved above the current expenses is faith
fully applied to the reduction of the national
debt. In New York, every dollar that can
be raised or wrung from the groaning tax
payers, above the current expenses, is faith
fully applied to the benefit Of private ring
of political spectators. In Washington we
have witnessed with amazement and admira-
ton the payment of our national debt at
rate Of 100000, 900 per annnm. In New
York we have seen with CONSERVATION and
alarm an increase of the. municipal debt at
such rate as would involve at no long period
the bankruptcy and ruin, even of that gigantic
metropolis, with its immense resources and
fabulous wealth. 1t seems but yesterday
that General Grant was inaugurated, and yet
in the brief period that has since elapsed,
$3.50, 900, 600 of our debt have been paid a
sum equal to more than one-eighth of cur
entire bonded debt, as it exists at this hour,
and this payment be it remembered, has been
made while taxes were repealed that were
yielding eighty millions per annum when
General Grant came into power. Look at
New York city during the same period. Its
bonded debt has increased to such mammoth
extent that the authorities dare not confess
the actual amount. The tax levies all the
while are hesped up beyond the imagination

THE DECISION At HAMPDEN.

"a The decision of the Coroner's jury in
the inquest connected with the Maine
Central disaster, has been reached after
patient investigation, and fastens the re-
sponsibility for the disaster upon the rail-
road commissioners and the officers of the
. Maine Central whose duty it was to look
after and repair bridges. 1t is evident
g that railroad commissioners will have to
attend more sharply to their duties in this
State in the future, regarding the safety
and convenience of the public more and
the smiles or frowns of railroad managers
less. 1t will not only be for their interest
and the security of the public to investi-
gate thoroughly and use their authority
decidedly, and impartially, but it will be
for the interest of the railroad companies
themselves in the end. What an expense
i is the Maine Central obliged to endure in
u the case of this disaster alone, which
might have been averted by sufficient care
and the exercise of the requisite authority
Our roads in this State demand the strict
d est supervision. Until wooden bridges arc
superseded by iron Or stone they must be
a constant care. Wherever there is a
doubt of the strength or sufliciency of a
structure. of the safety of regulations, OF
q the competency of officials or employees
let the man or men whose duty it is to see
that the public is protected stand firmly
for the needed repair and improvement,
as the best course for himself, the travel
ling community, and the railroad COM
panies. If he is not capable of doing
this he is unfit for his place and should
give way to somebody who has the re-
quisite judgment to see what should be
done and the backbone to,insist that ii shall

The Newburyport Herald says the coast in

that as many as fifteen thousand dead fish
were buried in Seabrook the other day, the

and town meeting was held in Danyers not
long since to devise measures for preventing
disease arising from the same cause, and from
appearances along our own shores, Newbury-
port will soon be obliged TO take equally active
measures. The fish come to the surface, rasp-
ing and whipping the water violently, and
then float off dead with the drift dong the
banks. Whether it be some volcanic emission

The sheriff was there and read us a
paper, the text Of which was that we
were arrested for 'malicious destruc-
ton OF property" That dance has
been an expensive one. Our toes are
all in hospital, four folks from Keokuk,
two from Des Moines, are under medi-
cal care, while six Or seven more are
quietly cussin lis for exercising the
inalienabIe rights of an American citi-
zen. We don't want to dance any
more. It's sinful to an alarming ex-
tent, and causes too great a demand for
court plaster. TIE ''Heathen Chince"
got euchered when the frisky goddess
got into the family, and hereafter we
propose expanding the amount that a

very big evil, and circulate them in

~ Palatable as good wheat bread
is there is no doubt that eating it er-
tirely is not conducive to health. Rye,
Indian meal, and coarse -four make
bread that is better adapted to the
development of the muscles. Boston
brown bread is much nsed, and is far
better for young children than bread
made Of superfne flour. It is easily
made: Take two quarts Of Indian
meal, sifted, one quart of rye meal or
Graham flour, one large spoonful of
salt, one teacup of molasses, one tea
cup of homemade yeast, or half the
quantity of brewers yeast; mix with
hot water as stiff as one can stir it /;
let it rise one hour; bake in deep
earthen or iron pots. which are made
purposely. To avoid the thick crust
produced by baking SO long, boil in
four hours and bake one, removing
the cover before setting it in the
oven.

MEXICAN CURE FOR HEADACHE
Proper diet and exercise, cheerfnlDess
of mind, and agreeable social inter
course, will do more toward regulating
the stomach and bowels in those pre-
disposed to this dreadful pain than any
plan of medical treatment which can
be suggested. However, vinegar ban
dages applied to the temples and fore
head, give great relief. Mr.. Thomp-
son, traveller in Mexico describes an
efficacious remedy used there. The
head must be bent down on the side
from which the pain proceeds, while &
teaspoonful of rum or any other spirit
is introduced into the ear. The pa
tient should then remain quiet till the
pain subsidies, which is usually in three
or four minutes.

NUMBER 80.

ECONOMY ON THE t'ARM.-On the
farm, says the Germantown Tele-
graph, and in all the various details
of rural and domestic life, prudence
and just economy of time and
means, are incumbent in an eminent
1egree. The earth itself is composed
Of atoms, and the most gigantic for
tunes consist of AGGREGATED items, in
significant in themselves, individually
considered, but majestic when con-
templated in unity and as whole.
In the management of farm, all
needless expenditure should be sys-
tematically avoided. and the income
made to exceed the outlay. .Pecuniary
embarrassment should always be re-
garded as contingency Of boding,
and if contended against with energy
and perseyering fortitude, it rarely
fails of success. Debt, with but little
hope of its removal, is milestone
dragging US down and crushing the
life-blood out of us. Be careful,
therefore, in mourning any pecuniary
responsibility which does not present
a clear deliverance with the advan-
tiges which an intelligent action
ought always to insure.
A farmer who purchases a good
farm and pays down one-third of the
price gives mortgage for the other
two-thirds, and possesses the heart
and resolution to work it faithfully
and well, enters upon the true path
to success. He will labor with the
encouraging knowledge that each
days exertions lessen his indebted
ness, and brings him nearer to the
goal when he shall be disenthralled
and is freeholder in its most cheer
ing sense.
But without due economy in every
departn ent. in the dwelling as we'll
as in the barns and in the fields, this
gratifying achievement may not be
reached until late in life, or may be
indefinitely postponed. A prudent
oversight, therefore over all the oper-
atoms of a farm, in order that every
thing may be done that ought to be
done and nothing be wasted, will
exert powerful influence in placing
a family on the high road to an early
independence.

Eg7 The Salem Advocate says: "The
oldest horse living, probably, is owned
by Samuel K. Casey, of Mount Vernon,
Ill. His exact age is not known, BUTT
is known that he was the property of
Mr.. Casey's father, the late Governor
Casey, forty years ago, and has been
in possession of the Casey family ever
since. He has been Worked upon the
farm, as occasion required, until the
past year, when it was thought lie was
entitled to his time and feed, and has
been honorably retired during the re-
mainder of his stay on earth. Mr.. Ca
sey has determined that he shall be
kindly cared for, and every opportuni-
ty given him to live on, which, from
his present appearance, may be for
many years"

For House. KEEPERS. -The manage
ment of brooms and sweeping Of car
pets, are matters Of interest to house-
keeps. For their information, there
fore, we give the following which We
find going the rounds:
If brooms are wet in boiling suds
once week, they viii become very
tough, will not cut the carpet, last
much longer and always, sweep like
a new broom. A very dusty carpet
may be cleaned by setting pail Of
cold water out by the door, wet the
broom in it, knock it to getoff all the
drops, sweep yard or so, then wash
the broom as before and sweep again,
being careful to shake all the drops
off the broom and not sweep far at o
time. If done with care, it will clean
a carpet very nicely, and you will be
surprised at the quantity of dirt in
the water. The water may need
changing once or twice. if the carpet
is very dusty.
