WE WANT A HERO.


The Cincinnati Enquirer, the princi-
pal Democratic organ of Ohio, is out
for Thomas A. Scott for President This
movement ofthat journal, after refusing
: to swallow lailandigham' departure, is,
to say the least of it. little curious.
/. We suppose five hundred men will be
brought forward before the Convention
meets next year. 1t cannot be disguised
that the opponents Of the Radical party
have no leader. Heretofore, in the his
tory of nations, whenever great WONG
was reformed by the Instruments of
power, some man came to the surface and
fought them until he became a hero,
successful, or fell in the unequal con-
test. At all events, the people found a
leader. Such does not appear to be the
fact in this good year 1871. There is
not man yet developed into an antago-
mist of the, man who has taken power
into his hands and Yields it to the ruin
of whole sections Of country. The great
North and West, the seats of national
power, permit wrongs that would drive
some European soyeregns from their
thrones. They do not anticipate
the extension of the power that
ushes down the South among them
selves. Their time viii come If
the Pittsburg Post and the Enquirer
can develop Tom Scott into an antago-
mist capable of fighting and overcoming
the ruling party, then the country will
owe them its gratitude, There must,
assuredly, exist heroic material some
where in this broad country. We can
not be nation Of commonplaces. We
can not have so far degenerated from
the parent stock, when heroes abohnded
and made the earth ring with applause.
We push inventions, wealth and com
merce ahead. We bring all that
to as much perfection as mind
and energy are capable Of, but we
do not champion and protect free insti-
tutions. We do not demand and enforce
an administration of law. We permit q
man, booted and spurred, to gallop over
the States and spit upon their authority.
II we have a hero let him come to the
front and throw his, defiance at the feet
of usurpation Let him unfurl the ban
ner that bore our fathers to their politi-
cal triumphs, fight out the eight to vic
tory, aud g grateful people will crown
him with the highest honors they can
bestow We want a hero.

NOVEMBER.


And now comes November, all draped
in clouds, and putting its cool winds
afar. The day is dismal Overeoats
are all abroad There is an additional
elasticity in the step of the promenaders.
The raw air braces them mp. They
fairly sing as they go to and fro. The
very cotton on the bluff looks November,
and we are sure the weighers and samp-
lers Of it feel November But more No
vemkerish than all, appears Hopefeld's
classic groves. See how they bend
to the wind See how they frown
themselves into the last degree of

Hens In Place OF Dogs.

There is hardly a family that does not
throw away enough table scraps to keep
at least half a dozen hens, and many that
keep a nuisance in the shape of dog,
that does no good, but costs more than
dozen good hens, complain that they can
not afford to keep hens. One dog in
neighborhood is greater trouble to the
ighbors than flock of hens would be,
for if hens are well fed at home they will
rarely 60 away. But who ever saw
dog that was not pest running across
the newly-made garden, and sticking his
nose into everything. Kill off the ours
and give the food to the hens, and you
will find pleasure as well as profit in SO
doing. We wish that there was tax Of
one hundred dollars on every dog kept in
the country. Those that are Of value as
watch dogs could be retained, while the
host of snarling dirty ours would give
place to some more useful and less troub-
leseme pet.

To Settle Coffee.

The genuine article can be nicely set
tied by beating an egg and stirring it in
a batch of coffee, just as it is Drowned.
The coffee must be cool enough so as not
to cook the egg. 1t must but be left near
the fire long enough to dry. 1t settles the
coffee as well as to use whole egg every
time it is prepared for the table and does
not take near as many dozen in the course
of the year. The coffee-pot should stand
few moments after being taken from
the stove, or have a little cold water put
in.

Apple DumplingS.

/>As the season for apple dumplings is
at hand, it may not be out Of place to say
how they can be made SO that every one,
even of delicate digestive powers, it is
said, can eat of them with impunity.
Make the dough Of about one part -four
to six parts potatoes, boiled and mashed
thoroughly and every lump removed. 1t
makes good paste and the dumplings can
be enjoyed by every one without the fear
of unpleasant results.

Crop that Paid.

A man from Bay River was in the city
yesterday, says the Newbern, N. c.,
Times, disposing of $4,000 pounds of leaf
tobacco which he had grown on ten acres
of ground, and for which he had been
offered 10 cents per pound. This enter
prising farmer is from the North, and
has lived in this section but little over a
year, and on his first venture on ten acres
of land will probably clear one thousand
dollars.
