exact value of the professed Democratic
acquiescence in the settlement of the
amendments. The object of the party, as
one of its Southern organs frankly says,4s
to get into power; and if fine professions
will help, it will not hesitate to profess
finely.
AS Senator Schurz we'll says in his
speech at Chicago, the general conviction
has been carefully cultivated that all the
established guarantees would be swept
away if the Democratic party succeeded.
That prospect having failed to bring the
party into power, it will now try to re-
move the impression. But the objet in
both cases is the same. If the amend
ments are apparently accepted, it will be
because the party canuot help itself But
the moment that, in possession of power,
there should be a probable chance of re-
versal, it would do precisely what it has
recently attempted in North Carolina. 1t
is the old spirit of the Democratic party
constantly illustrated. When the war
ended, that party, by black codes and fla
grant laws, tried to save all that was pos
sible of slavery. Under Andrew Johnson,
it cheered his hostility to the Civil Rights
bill, to the protection of the freedmen,
and to the radical policy of restoration.
At the Democratic Convention of 1868, in
Tammany Hall, it hoped to carry repudis-
tion of the war debt, and to control the
national administration as of old. Under
Grant it changes front, and declares that
it relinquishes its policy, renounces its
| faith and eats its words.
Let those believe who will. Let those
who are alarmed by being told that in op
posing the Democratic plans they are slay
ing the slain, suppose that the government
can safely pass out of Republican hands
But those who have studied political his
tory will not be cozened by fine profes
sions nor blandly confide in decoy ducks
There will constantly be some such event
as the attempt now happily defeated il
North Carolina, which will reveal the rea
tendency of the Democratic party. Igno
rance, hatred, unbroken traditions of in
Justice, organized into party, are not sud
denly reformed by resolution. The nee
essary tendency Of the Democratic party
will sweep off the hopes and wishes of it

Packing Egg.

THERE is mode of packing eggs by
which they may be safely carried any dis
tance, and over rough roads, without dam
age. And there is another mode by which
half of them may be very easily broken.
The secret lies in solid packing, with an
elastic material between the layers. We
have watched many barrels of eggs opened
without single broken one in tlem; and
many badly packed, which we would not
have handled had they been given to us for
nothing. The proper mode of packing,
either in barrels, boxes, or baskets, is to
place first layer of long hay or straw
three inches thick in the bottom. On this
scatter an inch in depth of cut hay or
straw, or chatf or oats, or whatever pack
ing is used; then place the eggs on their
sides, not touching each other, and when
the layer is complete, spread over them
and between them the cut stuff or chaff
two inches deep. Press this down gently
with a piece of board, and put another
layer of eggs, taking care that they do not
touch each other, OF the sides of the bar
rel or box; again fill up the layer of pack
ing, and press down as before. When the
barrel is full, place layer of long hay or
straw on the top in such quantity that the
lid must be pressed down with considera-

l Lud1crOus Telegraphic B1under.

THE London Court Courier relates the
following anecdote respecting a noble
lady who is young, beautiful and good:
During the Army bill debate, her roble
husband who is as proud and fond of her
as he should be, was just about to rise and
deliver violent attack upon something
or somebody. when telegram was put
into his hands. He read it, turned pale,
and quilted the House, called cab, drove
to the Charing Cross station, and went to
Dover, and was no more heard of till the
the next day, when he returned to his
own home, and to his first inquiry was
told that the Countess was in her own
room. He fastened to her, and terrific
row ensued, the exact words of which no
one knows but themselves. At last, how
ever, he burst out, "Then what did you
mean by your telegram" "Mean? What
said, of course What are you talking
about?' "Read it for yourself" returned
the still unappeased husband. She did
read: 81 flee with Mr.. - to Dover
straight. Pray for me-" For a moment
she was startled, but then burst into a
hearty fit of laughter. "Most dreadful
telegraph people. No wonder you are out
of your mind. I telegraphed simply, Il
tea with Mrs. -, in Dover street. Stay
for me- :" His lordship was so savage at
the laugh he had raised against himself
that he was at first inclined to make par
liamentary question of it, but, listening to
more judicious advice, refrained.

Nutrition.

THE manner of properly selecting and
preparing food, and its judicious variation,
is one that does not receive the attention
that it ought. Professor Blot, who is ad-
mitted to be authority on this subject,
says that it is by practical experience
that we learn what is proper for US, and
not by chemical analysis" How can it be
otherwise, when the same articles which
are relished and easily digested by some
persons, are distasteful and indigestible in
the case of others? AS no satisfactory
reason can be assigned for this, it must be
attributed to the peculiar idiosyncracy of
the individual, and it is only experience
that can teach each one what particular
article of food agrees with HIM, and what
does not. It often happens that certain
article of food is highly relished and en-
joyed, and yet is indigestible by the one
who is thus fond of it. In this case taste
will not do to be relied on, and experience
will have to admOnish when inclination
prompts to indulgence.
The great chemish and psychologist, Ma
gendie, made some interesting experiments
on the effects of certain kinds of food.
He fed geese on gum only, and they died
on the sixteenth day; he fed some on
starch only, and they died on the twenty
fourth day; he fed others on boiled white
of eggs only, and they died on the forty
sisth day, he fed others on the three kinds
mixed together, and they fattened instead
of dying. Here is proof of the neces-
sity of not only varying but mixing food
as much as possible, in order to supply the
waste and necessities of every part of the
system.
In the first instance, gum afforded a
| nourishment similar to starch and sugar,
serving to sustain animal heat, but not to
restore the waste of the tissues, on account
| of the absence of nitrogen. In the second
instance, starch served to keep up the ami
NAL heat, and being more highly organized
than gum, enabled the birds to maintain
existence few days longer. The want
OF nitrogen, however, proved fatal, as in
the case of gum food. Those fed onwhite
OF eggs alone had the nitrogen afforded by
the albumen, but eventually died from
want of supply of animal heat capable
OF being yielded by the starch. Those fed
on the three kinds of food mixed not only
survived, but throve, because all the wants
of the system were supplied.
AS before stated, the preparation and
cooking of food should receive its proper
share of attention, if the greatest amount
of benefit is to be derived from its intro.
duction in the system. Blot the professor
| of this art, says that green vegetables
such as cabbage, spinach, etc., should be
put in boiling water, but dry vegetables
as beans and peas, should be put in cold
water to cook, after having been previously
soaked in lukewarm water. In the case Of
potatoes, the eyes or germs are to be cut
out, and the skin rubbed or scraped off
then steamed or roasted. He thinks thai
fish, although only containing twenty pei
cent. of nutritious matter, ought to be par
taken of at least twice week, as it con
tains more phosphorus than any Other
food, and serves TO supply the waste O

Buchanan and Grant-A Contrast.

A FAvORITE amusement-it cannot be
styled an argument-is INDUCED in by the
Democratic press, in comparing the eX-
penses Of Buchanan's administration with
that of Gen. Grants. They make the ex-
penses of 1860 to have been S63, 500, 900,
while they state the cost now to be 1885,
800 622. This results from the manner OF
putting the case, and the kind of items in
cluded. The facts are, that the ordinary
expenses of the government are but
mere trif1e greater than in 1860. The ac-
tual appropriations for civil and miscella-
neous expenses the past year were $780,
46S, 76O97, and the actual amount appro-
priated for the same purpose in 1860, was
So, ,OO2, ,732 SO. Now let any one calculate
the present depreciation of the currency,
and compare it with the coin payments in
Buchanan's time, and add mere trifle of
extra cost for the vast growth and expan-
sion OF the country, and he will at once
perceive that the Administration of Presi-
dent Grant, even in its moneyed cost, is by
tar the cheapest and most economical.
In the light of fact and history, Buchan-
ans term was the most expensive ever
known in any age or country. Buchanan's
Administration cost war which the least
courage or energy would have prevented.
Buchanan's Administration cost three bill
lions OF dollars direct, as much more in
the value of slaves, and another amount
fully equal to the aggregate of both in the
waste and destruction of property. Bu-
chanan's Administration cost five hun
dred thousand lives, and furnished quar-
ter of a million widows and disabled sol
dlers whose names are now borne upon
the pension rolls. Buchanan's Admins
tration cost great armies, vast navies.
enormous outlays of every kind to save
the nations life, besides four years of car
mage, burnings, devastations and tears.
1t cost two million orphaned children. 1t
cost disrupted foreign relations, the de-
struction of commercial supremacy on the
seas, and the ruin of immeasurable inter.
ests on the land.
And yet the paltry dollars expended by
lmbecility, or stolen by traitors, are put in
contrast with disbursements for the pre-
servation of the public credit, and to
maintain the nations honor. How much
better that Buchanan had spent more
money and saved the misery, wretcbed-
ness and ruin his folly wrought A few
charges of canister poured into mobs at
the right moment would have saved the
terrible consequences that followed fol-
fearful Yeas. Tie present taxation and
deot are. a Democratic bequest, and we

have some time since made it plain to all
political doubters that infinite mischief, II
not another civil war, would result from
the failure of the bulwark against treason
and anarchy which Republicanism has
afforded. The gentlemen assassins OF the

Justify and strengthen the national pur-
pose not to suffer the government of the

violence, or anything with the old hateful
sound of slavery insolence in it, rouses

The Lesson Of North Carolina.

THE late attempt of the Democratic
party in North Carolina to begin the re-
versal of reconstruction, and to invite col
lision with the national government, has
signally failed. The effort was made un-
der the form of calling convention for
the revision of the State Constitution, and
in plain defiance of that Constitution
Had the plan succeeded, the result would
have been two State governments, between
which the national authority must have
decided. The good sense of the State
sustained the Republican opposition to
this disorganizing movement, and peace
will, for the present, continue. 1t will not
be forgotten, however, that every man who
voted for this scheme will also, probably,
sustain the Democratic candidates in 1872,
whether upon a new departure platform
or any other. And the fact illustrates the
