Ku.Klux Democracy.

1t is a significant and gratifying cir
cumstance that on the passage of the
bill to put down hOuse-burning, piIIago
and bloodshed in the South, every Re
publican member of the House of Rep
resentadves, present when the vote WIS
taken, recorded his name in its favor.
On the other hand, the Democrats voted
solid against it. They took shelter un-
der the excuse that the bill commits ar
bitrary power to the President Of the
United States whereas they opposed it
lest, under its operation, Ku Klux
.scOundrels would be bereh of the power
to Overawe white and black loyal voters
in future elections. There is little force
in the objection made by Democrats in
Congress that the bill lodges too much
power in the President; for that power
will not, in the hands of man as pru-
dent as Gen. Grant, be exercised at all,
unless imperatively necessary; and if
the Ku Klux repeated their violence,
they would only laugh at a law that
has no subduing power in its provisions.

Gods land, and not owned by raw
enOus and dishonest spectators
So marched right down to the cen
ter of the village, and finding va
cant space, pitched my lodge. II
was not necessary to purchase a
town-lot here, for no one, save Him
who owns all, held real estate.
A few Santee women gathered
about my squaws and chatted with
them, anxious to learn the news
from down the river. Seeing that
they were interfering with the IN
packing of the ponies and the erect
ing of the lodge, I unceremonious.
ly ordered them to be gone, and
they went quietly away. The lodge
was soon up >; the ponies unpacked
and put out to Craze. Having seen
things put in order for the night, ]
,sauntered out through the village
to learn the news.
1 was agreeably surprised, when
I learned there was a white man in
the village, who had been sent out
to the Indians as a missionary. All
the savages spoke of him as a kind
hearted, good man, who was a great
friend of the Great Spirit and of the
Big Father at Washington.
I made haste to pay my respects
to my white brother, and found
him indeed a good Christian gentle
man. He had white wife and
child, and he and they were living
comfortably and pleasantly with
these wild children of the desert. I
talked more than an hour with the
good man I; it was so delightful to
see and speak with one Of my own
blood and color. When I left him,
I promised I would return the next
day and dine with him, which did.
1t may sound strange to hear one
talk of "dining out" in an Indian
camp, but I can assure my civilized
readers the meal was none the less
wholesome or abundant on account
of the place in which it was served.
When I returned to my lodge,
1 found it surrounded by a crowd of
dirty squaws and children, who
were intent upon examining every
thing we had. I ordered them off,
and could not help laughing when
1 compared the curiosity of these
rude Indian women with that I had
seen exhibited at church, in the
States, by white women. There
they go to church, not to hear the
Gospel, but to see what their neigh
bors have to wear, and these Indian
women had come to my lodge with
the same laudable object. I am not
certain that human nature is the
same everywhere, but l am quite
certain woman nature is the same
all the world over.

For the News.
Mary.
I knew her in childhood, for she wa
my pupil, and quiet, good girl shI
was. I knew her too, when she hat
grown to maturer years, and I saw he.
graphing with the stern realities Of life
for she was not Fortunes favored child
but with that independence that self-re
lance ever gives to the female obarac
ter, she stepped boldly into the arena o
battle, and by her energy and industry
she not only provided for her own pres.
eHt needs, and laid up something for
future day, but added many comforts to
those bound TO her by Natures tender
ties.
But the time came when her over
taxed body and mind succunIbed to dis
ease, and she was prostrsted upon bed
of suffering. And it was now, while
looking back to the trials and struggles
of life, and forward to the joys of
Heaven, that she expressed her willing
ness to leave the one and enter into the
other; and, after combating disease for
some weeks, she diedi But OF what a
halo lit up that death bed-scene, and it
was emphatically felt that
"Tbs chamber, where the good men meets his fate,
Is privileged beyond the common walk
q Of yrtuOus life, quite on the verge OF Heaven"
Her last work was done! No more
labor, no more care nor sorrow, for the
poor, frail girl, who had drunk deeply
of Hfe's sorrows, and tasted scantily Of
its joys!
Disease had done its work; but be-
fore the silver cord was Ioesed, as if an
gels hovered round, a calm, sweet spell
of rest and peace came over her, and
with a clear, unwavering voice, she gave
her last advice and long adieus to weep

Savior, and of that gold-paved City to
which she was going, and where she
hoped to meet her loved ones all.
And, as I gazed upon her calm fea-
lures, as she lay in her4cofiu, and re-
membered the closing remarks of the
officiating minister, that she was "hon-

man." I felt how terrible must be the
retributiou Of those dark hearts, that
conceived, and sent to the four winds of
Heaven, the calumny that tainted her
fair name, and wrung the burning tears
from eyes now set in death : And how
earnestly did I wish that these, as we'll

they be) who were instrumental in pro-

that rejoiced many a good heart that

OILED Floors for Kitchens.

Oiled Floors for Kitchens.
I have for several years followed
the plan Of oiliug unexpected floors,
in order to avoid the labor of scrub
bing them, and I find it works well.
You can either oil or paint, ofcourse,
but I consider the oil more prefera-
bic, on the following grounds:
Itis cheaper.
You can apply it yourself
You have not to wait Tor it to dry.
It produces a pleasanter color.
It doesn't show tracks Of dust,
mud and such like, and therefore a
floor thus prepared does not require
frequent mOpping.
An oiled floor is better than a
plain one in the following particu-
lars
1t looks better.
! 1t does not require serubbine.
which saves your back.
It is never to be mopped in hot
wafer nor strong suds; which saves
your hands.
Grease-spOts never hurt it; which
saves your temper.
To prepare a floor, I take a guam
tity of the cheapest and least ofsn-
sive oil I can secure and apply it
with a common paint brush. I put
it on smoothly, SO that it will strike
in equally all over and yet not stand
in spots on the surface. L do this at
night, after the evening work is fin
ished, and find the place ready for
use the next morning. Of course it
would not injure the oiled surface it.
self, to tread upon it at once; but
grease is liable to be tracked from
lit, at first, to adjacent parts Of the
house. A new coat of oil applied
once in six months, or even once a
year sometimes, is sufficient to keep
a floor in perfect order.
One may thus prepare to great
advantage the floors of kitchens,
pantries, summer dining rooms,
back halls, stairways and porticoes,
closets, bathrooms, and laborers'
bedrooms. It is also a good plan in
children's apartments, particularly
when you are training them to do
their own roOm-wOrk, to leave bare
that end outside of the floor on
which the bed stands, and to oil it.
That portion of the floor under the
bed can then be easily kept from
dust, the sweepings can be easily
removed, and the children will be
afforded free scope for their duck
like style of ablutions, without dam
ger to the carpet Western Rural.

Constitutional Convention.

/ Constitutional Convention.
We make the following extract from
the Constitution of the State Of Ohio
which is of interest. It is section 3
article xvi:
( AT the general election, to be held in
the year one Thousand eight hundred
ana seVenty-One, and every twentieth
1 year thereafter, the question Shall
there be a convention to revise, alter OF
amend the Constitution, shall be sub
mitted to the electors Of the State and
IN case a majority Of all the electors
voting at such an election shall decide
10 tavor of q convention, the General
Assembly, at its next session, shall pro-
vide, BY law, for the election Of dele
gates and the assembling Of such con-
vengion as is provided in the prece-
ding section but no amendment of this
Constitution, agreed upon by any con-
vention assem- bled in pursuance of this
article, shall take effect until the same
shall have been submitted to the electors
of the State, and adopted by a majority
Of those voting thereon.
The preceding sector" says the
Cincinnati Gazette, referred to above,
provides that the convention shall con-
sist of as many members as the House
Of Representatives, shall be chosen in
the same manner, and shall meet with
in three months after their election for
the purpose aforesaid. This will put
those at work who think they can see
where by pruning or grating we may
improve our Constitution. The work
involved win excite much interest and
thought, and it should, for it is a grave
one. Prepare for the task.

Fortune-TeIlers Exposed..

The New York Tribune devotes
three columns to the most revolving
details of the operations, and expos
ing the true character, Of the sO-eall-
ed fortune-tellers Of that city. They
are doubtless true, and the publica-
ton may, and it is hoped will, be
the means of breaking up these es-
Establishments. A reporter has been
engaged, it appears, in making in
vestigations as to the real business
of these astrologers and medieval
lclairvOyants, as they sometimes
style themselves, and discovered
that, in a majority of cases, the bu-
siness pursued by them is nothing
more nor less than that of the pimp
or procuress. The reporter, of
course, found it necessary to pretend
that he was desirous of availing
himself of their infamous services,
and pretended to be a stranger in
the city. In each case, he says, he
stated the cause of his visit.

INGENIOUS DEVICE.-In n. Y.
City, callers are looked at before be-
fore being admitted. The lady OF
the house has mirror cunningly
placed outside and fastened to the
further window-shutter of the sec.
ond story, and turned toward the
front door, rejecting all applicants
for admission. On seeing the call
.ers, the servant is directed to admit
them or report the lady Of the house
"Out," as convenience and inclina-
ton may dictate. This custom has
long been in use in Brussels. In
that city the mirror is also used for
street views. The private residences
are provided with them, fitted to al
most every room fronting on the
streets, so that the ladies may Occu-
.py themselves at their work or play,
secure from observation, and yet
have a panoramic view of all that
passes in the streets without leaving
their seats.

Alexander H. Stephens, who accepted
the situation two or three years ago, has
recovered animation sufficiently to re-
view his politics and recant his submis-
sion. The Mobile Register, which was
furious for universal suffrage but five
years ago, but which was bullied into a
.recantation of the heresy by the unre-
constructed mob of Alabama, is the
mOuthpiece of Mr.. Stephens in this new
confession of faith. What Will they
both say when they learn that a Demo
cratic caucus at Washington has decided
that the situation must be accepted as
perpetual?

a new, and powerful, dOuble-acting
salve, which shows powers never
before exhibited by salves Of any
kind. The inventor accidentally
cut off the tail of a tame wolf, and
Immediately applying some of the
salve to the stump, a new tail grew

he applied some of the salve TO th5
raw end of that, and a wolf grew
out; but he Was wild wolf, and
had to be shot.

ALE AND BEER HOUSES &C.-In
view of the fact that the Supreme
Court has decid ed that Corporations
have the power to suppress ale and
beer houses in their midst, the fol-

Secret of Happiness.

An Italian bishop, who had strug-
gled through many difficulties with
out repining, and been much op-
posed without manifesting impa-
tience, being asked by a friend to
communicate the secret of his being
always so happy, replied: sit con-
sists in single thing, and that is,
making a right use of my eyes"
His friend, in surprise, begged him
to explain his meaning. "Most
willingly" replied the bishop; Sin
whatever state 1 am, 1 first of all
look up to heaven, and remember
that my great business is to get
thither. 1 then look down upon
the earth, and call to mind how
small a space I shall soon fill in it.
1 then look about in the world, and
see what multitudes are, in all re-
spects, less happy than myself. And
thus I learn where true happiness is
placed, where all my cares must
end, and how little reason I have to
murmur, or to be otherwise than
thankful. And to live in this spirit
is to be always happy"

Death OF ScIlnmVI.


Schamyl, the once famous Circas-
sian chief, is no more. His special
history is likely never to be known,
or at least appreciated, until his
couutrymen of the Caucasus begin
to run cotton mills, work coal mines
or print newspapers. What Wal
lace was to Scotland, Tell to Swift
zerland, Abdel Kader, of more re-
cent memory, to Algeria, schamyl
was to the Caucasian tribes. When
he fell it was not until after he had
fought nobly and suffered much;
and it is gratifying to be able to
state that since 1859 he has lived
with his family in peace and plenty,
as a subject of the Russian empire.
Schamyl was born in 1897.
An important arrangement has
been made between the B. & o. and
the Indianapolis, Cincinnati and La
fayette Railroads, by which the
through travel between Washing
ton, Baltimore, Omaha and Califor-
mia will pass over the NJ. & C. and
through Cincinnati, instead Of Cleve-
land and Chicago; and the time be-
tween Baltimore and Omaha will be
reduced to fifty hours, with one
change of cars. The through mails
will be carried over this route. The
I. c. & L. will also run two through
trains daily between Cincinnati and
Chicago, by way of the Great East
ern R. r. The arrangement takes
effect on the 14th, when a change of
time will be made.
