LOUIS BLANC has written letter declaring
that the Republican party, hitherto force,
must become power. Just so but how is it
to be done3 Epigrams are not bad things in
their way, and they often express great truths
more forcibly than elaborate dissertations will
do, but the writing of epigrams is not the
best or most important thing to be done in
the way of promoting great political reform
movements; and if the republicans of Europe
ever expect to do anything in
the way of winning the support of
the solid, practical common sense
citizens, they will be obliged to moderate their
propensity to make pompous declarations and
do something to show that society would be
better and happier if their principles were
to prevail. The fine words of Louis Blanc,
Victor Hugo, and other universal republicans
will do very little in the way of making re-
publicanism power, so long as they have
nothing better to show as the result of their
teachings than the blackened ruins of Paris;
and the people of Europe may we'll be shy of
following the lead of blatherskites who in
variably prove incompetent for the manage
meDt of affairs whenever an opportunity is
afforded them to put their. theories into
practice.
The Republican party in Europe can become
a power if its members will only agree upon
what they desire to accomplish and then pull
together, but republicanism will be failure,
and will deserve to be, so long as those who
profess to be the leaders of the great move
ment for the emancipation of mankind only
employ themselves in stirring up such dis
turbances as those which have resulted in the
destruction of the historical buildings
of Paris, and then get out of the reach of
danger as fast as they can when the riot COM
mences. The pronunciamentos of Louis
Blanc or Victor Hugo will do about as much
towards making the Republican party power
as those of Wendell Phillips and George
Francis Train will towards convincing the
people of the United States that their system
of government is failure and fraud because
the great American blatherskites profess to
be able to evolve something better out of the
depths of their inner consciousness.

DEMOCRATIC HOSTILITY TO THE
NEW DEPARTURE.

AS the Democracy in former times were
divided into Hunkers and Barnburners, Hard
Shells and Soft Shells, Lecomptonites and
anti-Lecomptonites, so a new division is
threatened now, based on diversity of opinion
in regard to the new departure. Thousands
of voters in the Democratic ranks and hun
dreds of their fuglemen are puzzled to know
what Democracy is to consist of after the
anti-negro, MISREPRESENTATION, and anti
reputation planks are knocked out of their
platform. They spurn and spit upon the
resolutions adopted by the Pennsylvania
and Ohio conventions; and they insist that
those who would throw away what they deem
the saving salt, or the centralized essence of
Democracy, are mere time-serving place.
hunters. 1t is not only editors of the Brick
Pomeroy school who adopt this course of
reasoning, for many of the well-established
local journals of the party in Pennsyl-
vania strenuously insist upon continu-
ing the fight against the consti-
tutional amendments if it takes two or three
centuries to make the proposed changes.
Foolish as such policy may appear, it is
warmly endorsed by the man who, to greater
extent than any other single individual, is
the intellectual leader of the Democracy of
the United States. We mean Alexander H.
Stephens, of Georgia. Before secession he
was their ablest parliamentary tactitian
in organizing the Confederacy, he
boldly and logically defined it's
cornerstone to be human slavery; since
the war he has assumed the position of ex-
FOUNDER of the Constitution and of the true
duties of the Democratic party; and now, in
the midst of the new, departure agitation, he
has taken editorial charge of leading
Southern Democratic journal, for the purpose
of showing that the reactionary and revolu-
tionary Democratic platform of 1868 must be
adhered to, because, as he alleges,
"any departure from the essential principles
of that platform will be exceedingly danger
GUS, if not fatal, to the liberties of the whole
country. w =. -aaas s DO sag
1t will thus be seen that the new departure
programme is encountering not merely the
antagonism of ignorant and prejudiced voters
in the rank and file of the Democracy, but
that large portion of its local leaders, and
some Of its ablest champions of national re-
putation, are SO firmly welded to the old idols
that they are determined that Democracy
shall be nothing if it is not reactionary.

The Washington Square property holders
are again in distress. Judge Thompson this
morning refused the perpetual injunction
asked for by three well-known real estate
owners, who thought that the act of Legisls-
ture creating the Building Commission and
providing for the selection of site for the
public buildings by the people of Philadel-
phia must be unconstitutional, for the reason
that they, in event of the erection of the
public buildings on Penn Square, would
no longer be able to let out offices at the
same remunerative rates as at present The
n petition for the injunction was very funny
document, and lit presented ample evidence
of great distress of mind and pocket on the
part of those who prepared it. We can well
fancy that the Judge laughed consumedly in
the privacy of his office as he prepared the
opinion published In another column
which adds another burden of despair to the
souls and pocket-books Of the unhappy anti
Penn Squareites. The weakness of the petit
ton proved to what extrenities the owners of
real estate in the neighborhood of Washing
ton Square have been reduced; and we

A Most Disgusting Case.

A trial, most sickening in it's details,
began in the Superior Court of Litch-
field county, Connecticut, on ther Goth
inst, being that of Joel w. Perkins, of
Cornwall, for incest and murder. The
man was arrested two months ago, since
which time the most shocking develop
ments have come to light. During ten
years Perkins has been guilty of incest
with six daughter, using compulsion in
each case. The eldest daughter is now
2S years of age and has given birth to
five children, the result of her father s
unnatural crime. Two of these children
are living, one having been born since
Perkins arrest. The other three, it is
believed, were murdered Immediately
after birth. The girl testifes that she
never saw them, but heard their cries
before her father took them from the
room. In the case of another daugh-
ter, one child was born and did not sur
vive. A third daughter is now e,scie'ate.
The wife of the accused died two OF
three weeks ago of paralysis. Perkins
is 81 years old, has always lived in Litch-
field county, and worked as a wheel
wright and blacksmith. Though APP
parently intelligent and capable of hold
ing good position in the community,
he has kept his family aloof from socie-
ty, and denied them the privileges of
society and the church, and lived in
AFFECT squalor and poverty.
A reporter of the Hartford Courant in
terviewed Perkins recently, and he con-
fessed his criminal intimacy with his
daughter, but denied having taken the
life of his offspring, and that with two
Of his daughters he has had no intima-
cy. He asserts that his wife had knowl-
edge of his crimes, and encouraged
them, and that his daughter invited
them. He has read the Scriptures since
he has been in Jail, but says he has nev-
er read the Bible before, nor much Of
anything else. He says he did not
know there was any law against such
practices as his, nor that there was any
thing in the Scriptures condemning
them. The daughters say that THEN

Some PERSONS cut asparagus into small
pieces before cooking it this seems to
us an unwarranted mutilation. The
stalk should have grown in two days; it
will then be exquisitely tender, of a
deep green, with head purple, glisten-
ing in the sun, with the color of the
robe of an ancient Roman Consul; it
will break as squarely as diamond
scratched glass, and far more easily
than maiden's heart at the loss of her
first lover; its perfume is pungent and
agreeable; its emerald tint lively, and,
as it is one of the earliest, so it is one of
the most grateful productions of the
garden. 1t is to be treated gently. Cut
in the early morning, while the dew
yet lies upon it refreshingly, it is to be
washed in cold water, kept in a shady
place until near the dinner hour, then
put into a small quantity of water, and
boiled until it is about half done; then
the water should be poured off and
milk put in, and allowed to cook until
fork can be thrust through it easily
take it up so as not to break stalk,
and dish it on toasted bread, season,
and you have dish often asked for,
but seldom seen.

How TO MILK.-The RuraI America

How TO MILK.-The RuraE american
says:
1t is a fact that poor mixer will
spoil almost any COW, and there are but
few people who are aware of the fact
that in the mere process of milking a
great difference is made in the yield of
a dairy COW. The ability to bring a COW
to her largest yield Of milk varies
greatly with different mixers, as many
persons who consider themselves good
mixers are in reality very poor ones.
Owing to the fact that large proper
ton of what a COW gives at milking is
secreted during the process of milking,
it must naturally follow that unless the
COW is in a quiet, contented state OF
mind, and satisfied with the mixer, the
usual secretion of new supplies during
the milking will not take place. 1t is
generally owing to this cause that COWS
oftentimes "hold up the milk" as it is
termed, and this cannot be obviated so
long as the COW is in restless state of
mind and dissatisfied with her mixer.
Owing to the intimate connection be-
tween the nervous and secretary sys.
tenn of the COW, it should be the aim of
the mixer to gain her confidence and
good will. By this mere Indifference in
handling and becoming thoroughly &c
quainted with them, many COWS can be
made to increase their flow of milk at
least a quart day, and this too without
any change of food. 1t makes a great
difference in the milking qualities of a
COW as to who milks her, and how the
operation is performed, and in judging
of the milking qualities of COW, these
questions should always be taken into
consideration.
An exchange says that, six years ago,
Scotch dairywoman did most of the
milking Of herd of nine COWS. She
was the best and quickest mixer that
we ever knew The COWS gave an I'M
usually large quantity, and continued
their milk later than usual. The next
year, the same job was mainly done by
less skillful hands, and the result de
monstrated that the loss was at least
ten, if not twenty, per cent.

By this we observe that it's business for
1870 reached the enormous figure of $40,-
295,799, being 100000 larger than that of
any company in the world.
The Equitable is a mutual company, on
the cash basis, making annual returns to its
policy holders of all the profits which arise
in the course of its business.
The mention of one very favorable feature
must not be omitted-we refer to the ability
of its agents and the courtesy of its officers
by which every required information con-
nected with Life Assurance can be readily
obtained. The executive of this company
can always be easily approache !, and this
tends much to its popularity.
1t is thus easy to understand why the
Equitable has reached its present pre-emi-
hence. Starting from the first day of its or
ganlzatlon, under the best auspices, IN 1860
there We're but FOUR companies that wrote 8
a larger amount of new insurance IN 1867
but THREE; IN 1868, but TWO; IN 1869, the
Equltable's transactions were the largest
and IN 1870 it still maintained its supremacy
as the table given above shows. By this
time it had issued over so 900 policies, insur-
ing more than $3.50 900 900.
We are not aware whether the Equitable
Life Assurance Company is represented
here or not, but we would strongly recon-
mend those DESTROYS of working in the field
OF Life Assurance, to place themselves al
once in communication with the home office
with the view of acting for them as agent, as
there is, perhaps, TO other company that
could offer better inducements.
