RULES FOR THE CARE OF SHEEP.

Keep sheep dry under foot with litter.
This is even more necessary than roofing
them. Never let them stand or lie in
mud or snow.
Drop or take out the lowest bars as the
sheep enter or leave yard, thus saving
broken limbs.
Begin granting with the greatest care,
and use the smallest quantity at first.
If n eve loses her lamb, milk her daily
for few days, and mix a little alum with
her salt.
Give the lambs little mill feed in time
of weaving.
Never frighten sheep if possible to avoid
Sow rye for weak ones in cold weather,
if you can.
Separate all weak, or thin, or sick, from
those strong, in the fall, and give them
special care,
II any sheep is hurt, catch it at once and
wash the wound with something healing.
If limb is broken, bind it with splinters
tightly, loosening as the limb swells.
Keep a number of good bells on the
sheep.
If one is lame, examine the foot, clean
CIT between the hoofs, pare the hoof if
unsound, and apply tobacco with blue Wit
riol boiled in water.
Shear at once any sheep commencing to
shed its wool, unless the weather is too
severe From, circular issued by the Amer
acan Emigrant Company.

dreamed Of Hence, In 1854. that repeal Of
Clays adjustment In that memorable Kansas
Nebraska bill, which has been ntly described
as the overture TO the Southern rebellion.
Then with that Kansas agitation and border
war came that overwhelming Northern reaction
on the slavery question which would unques-
tionably have elected the drst candidate Of
this republican party, General Fremont
President in 1856, but for the disturbing third
party ticket of Fillmore In the North and
the suppression by violence OF any hint Of
anti-slavery ideas in the South. OF course,
this slate of things had to come to an end,
and It came to an end in 1860-frst, In the
bolt of Douglas and his Northern democrats
against the extreme demands Of the Southern
oligarchy on slavery, and next In the election
of Lincoln. Then came the rebellion and the
great constitutional revolution accomplished
in the fifteenth amendment
But still, from it's sweeping defeat OF 1910.
from its narrow escape of 1874, from its
defeat Of l848, and It's overwhelming success
of 1852; from its narrow escape in 1856 and
its apparent fatal disruption, decentralization
and dispersion in 1860; from it's heavy de-
feats OF 1864 and 1868, and all its disasters Of
1871, including the terrible overthrow Of the
mighty power Of Tammany and the loss Of
New York, tho democratic party still survives
and Is still power in the land. Many OF Its
strongholds in the time Of Jackson-such az
Berks county, Pa.-are Its strongholds still.
If it has lost some States it has gained others,
and, upon the whole, it needs only bold and
united advance to the front line Of the living
issues of the day TO make splendid fight In
1872. 1t is true that some seven hundred
thousand colored voters, nearly all republi
! can, have lately been added to the voting
elements of the country, but it is also true
that this colorsd vote is nearly neutralized
by the democratic gains In the Southern white
vote
But, in abandoning the Missouri possuu
policy, what next Is the democratic party
called upon to do2 The next thing mos
urgently demanded is national convention
for the reorganization Of the party. Let tbii
| convention be called right away, and let the
nomination of the Presidential ticket Of the
party be postponed till after the republican
convention has put Its ticket In the field, and,
peradventure, there may be yet an opening
for political revolution next November.

have had collision with the police and mill
tary after the real Irish fashion. Although
the report describes the affair as savage riot,
1t does not appear that any lives were lost or
any very serious injuries inflicted. The cause
of the disturbance was the attempt Of the
Apprentices to celebrate the anniversary Of
the ''closing of the gates Of the city, accord
ing to their old custom, in defiance Of the pro-
clamation of the Lord Lieutenant, issued
under authority of the ireland Professions
act, forbidding the demonstration. In former
years the celebration was constantly the occa-
sion Of fight between the Catholic and
Protestant portions of the population, but
the new act has changed the issue, and
made the Apprentices the offenders
against the law and the peace Of the city.
The ''closing Of the gates" is custom which
William. To the Catholics the custom has
always been offensive. It is stupid relic
Of an obsolete past, and In his wise attempt
to make an end Of 1t the Lord Lieutenant is
entitled to all praise. Ireland is not the
United States; Londonderry is not New
York. The ''closing Of the gates" has been a
fruitful source of trouble. It is well, there
fore, to put the practice down. Here we
choose not to know King James or King Will
liam, The Catholic faith or the Protestant
faith, but only the civic rights of all. Even
the International, little as we care for it. must
be allowed to have its little innocent parade
when it thinks proper. The British govern
ment and the United States government both
agree In this-that while rights are not in
fringed peace must be maintained.

Judge Bedford's GRIND Jury-Morc Work
for the Lawyers.
The Grand Jury of the General Sessions yes
of time to enable them to complete the work OF
retribution on which they have been now for
nearly seven weeks engaged. Upon their ap-
pearance in Court yesterday morning Judge
Bedford reviewed the facts connected with tie
first extension of the term to the 18th of De.
cember, stating that when the jury had made
the application he had hesitated to comply
with their wishes until he had thoroughly
examined the question Of the power of the
Court in the case. To that end he had con-
suited Charles OConor and District Attorney
Garvin, both Of whom had coincided with him
In bis view Of the statute, and had given 1t as
their opinion that the power of the Court
to extend the term was unquestioned.
Thus confirmed In his reading of the
law, he had no hesitation in granting the
prayer of the jurors for still longer time, and
further extended the term 10 the 3Oh of the
present month. Il seems evident now that
the Grand Jury mean business. Yesterd az
afternoon they again appeared In Court and
presented another batch Of indictments, but
against whom ID at present known only to
themselves and the Sheriff. or course the
air Is filed with rumors, but as they can only
be guesswork It Is neither just nor expedient
to give them currency. Nevertheless 1t seems
certain that many of the bills that have been
found are in connection with the city frauds,
aud that others are against those who are
alleged to have committed offences against
the election laws. It is an Ill wind that blows
nobody any good, says the old proverb; and
certainly the lawyers are in a fair way to
reap harvest out OF the rich field Of NUM-
cipal corruption.

THE ORLEANS PRINCES AND THEIR RIoHTs
IN FRANCE. The question of the claim of the
Orleans Princes to representative rights as
Members Of the French Assembly still presents
Q subject OF difficulty to the French govern
ment. II was debated again yesterday
President Theirs was absent from the
House. His argument was presented by N.
Oasimir Pereire. It was undecided, and, as
II appears from our telegraph report, slightly
equvocal. M. Theirs appears to set up the
existence of private personal agreement made,
az he alleges, by the Executive, with the
Princes as temporary Offset to their immedi-
ate assertion Of citizen right. The Deputies
OF the left opposed the idea of the restoration
OF the Princes vehemently. In doing so they
drew a comparison between the Orleans royal
lists and Napoleon as monarchists. A govern
ment motion to pass to the consideration Of
the order of the day was rejected. The
primary budget OF debate was finally excluded
by The exercise OF what may be called legis-
lative equvocation. The question of right still
