Surrender of Paris !

The French authorities have H.
nally surrendered that splendid
city to the Prussians. This news
under the peculiarand pressing cir
cumstances, will be hailed with.
gladness everywhere. The necessity
of such a result will be regretted
by many in this country and in Eu,
rope. 1t would have been extreme
folly for the French, longer to have
held out against such supeliorpow.
er as was brought to bear against
that splendid city, and the govern
ment of France. Everybody must
rejoice at the prospect of peace
between our transatlantic neigh
bors. We make the following brief
extract in relation to the surrender,
from an editorial in the Cincinnati
Gazette Of Monday morning:
This event is announced in our
dispatches, aud it is also reported
that the Paris authorities have sub.
mitted to terms of peace, being the
cession of Alsace and Lorraine, q
part Of the fleet, money imdem-
nifty and a Prussian occupation Of
certain territory and plac $ till the
terms are fulfilled, including Proba-
bly, the province of Champagne
and the forts Of Paris, as has been
before reported An armstice has
been agreed to till the l0th Of Feb
ruary, in order to call a constituent
assembly to ratify these terms
Hard and humiliating as these terms
are, comprising as they do the a6
solute submission Of the nation to
the terms of a conqueror, there
seems to be no rational alternative
for France. More than 800, 600 of
her soldiers are prisoners in Ger
many. AS many more are prison
ers in Paris. The armies which by
immense efforts she raised in the
provinces have been successively
beaten. OF the whole chain of for
tesses betN cen Paris and the Rhine
and the frontiers of Luxembourg
and Belgium the last one has fallen,
and the surrender Of Paris would
now let loose 100000 German sold.
iers to overrun the rest Of France.
TO prolong resistance under such
conditions is to struggle against
fate, and to vainly subject all
France to devastation and the ter.
rible Prussian contributions. The
only escape is to submit and to bide
the time when the complications
and combinations, which such a.
preponderatine aud arrogant mill
tary power will be likely to create,
or an opportunity to establish
the independence of France.

MachiaYelian Democracy.

A FEW days ago we called attention to
the gingerly rebuke administered by the
New York World to the Blair Stephens
Democracy, in the attempt to revive the
reconstruction and negro issue. After
waiting few days, just long enough to
hear the echo of its sentiments, that sheet
wakes bTaveT, aud soundly berates the re-
dictionary faction. 1t tells Blair g. Co.
that the negro is sure to vote at the next
Presidential election, and that to array the
black element against the Democratic par
ty would be fatal blunder, and then, in
an under tone, ii adds: "If we can elect
our candidates in spite of their votes,
negro suffrage is not Gerry formidable"
1t requires no special sagacity to see
what this means. The plain English of it
is: Don't raise the Blair issue; but, if we
once get into power, we will carry out his
programme. The difference, then, between
the World and the Blair Democracy is
only one of honesty, the advantage on this
score being with the latter. Because the
Missouri Senator blurts out the real de-
sign OF his party, he is kicked as shot
headed impracticable IA politician with
out sense enough to understand his
epoch.
The Machiavalian policy is, beyond a
doubt, the wisest one for the Democracy,
Every speaker or writer of the party
should have it impressed upon him that
"mum's the word" Otherwise they will
foredoom the party TO a worse defeat in
1872 than 1t experienced in 1868.
In trying to carry out this gag policy,
the party masters will have hard job.
1t is rather late in the day TO try. The
utterance of insurrectionary sentiments
ought to have been prevented by private
counsels. II that were impossible-and
Blair is as irrepressible as exploded steam
then surely the party press could have
raised a simultaneous howl against his
speech, and so have cleared the skirts of
the party but no, the papers very general

Glue and its Uses.

Coon glue contains no specks, but is
transparent and clear when held up to the
light. The amber colored glue is the best
kind for cabinet makers, not the black
kind as some suppose. The best glue
swells without melting when immersed in
cold water, and renews its former size on
drying.
The best method of softening and dis
solving glue for use is first to immerse it,
in small pieces, for about twelve hours, in
cold water, then set it over fire and grad
ually raise its temperature until it is all
dissolved.
Fine white glue is made from careful
selections ofwhite, clean skin parings ;these
may be bleached in degree by immersing
them in weak milk of chloride of lime
instead of one of simple lime.
Size for stiffening straw and leghorn
hats is made of clippings of parchment
and fine white sheepskin, dissolved in boil
ing water. White glue is employed in the
stitfening of silks and other. fabrics which
are re.dyed and re-dressed.
If glue which has been stepped in cold
water until 1t has swelled, be then immers-
ed in linseed oil and heated, it dissolves,
and forms glue ofgreater tenacity, which,
when dry, resists damp. Glue is employ
ed for making molds for castings in wax
and plaster of Paris. Mixed with molasses,
it forms the ink rollers of the book print.

Draining.

WHEREVER the soil is not naturally
drained by resting on porous sub-soil, ar
tificial drainage is one of the most impor-
tant and indispensable operations on the
the farm A good crop of any kind can
not be obtained from land which is satur-
ated with water; for the roots cannot de-
scend into the soil in search of suitable
ingredients to sustain the plants When
land is properly drained, the water from
rain and melted snow preColates through
the soil, deposits its fertilizing ingredients,
and is carried away to give place to fresh
supply In well-dTa ned land the roots OF
plants descend to a great depth in search
of wholesome moisture, and sustain the
growth and fructiflcation of the plants,
even in seasons of drouth. The first step
in successful drainage is the securing d
suitable outlet for the water; the next is
to construct good main drain leading to
this outlet. If sufficient fall can be OBJ.
tanned, the main drain should be at least
four feet deep at the mouth, decreasing to
three and half at the upper end. This
will create a sufficient fall for the water
The minor or branch drains should be
three feet deep. BY this means there will
be a considerable fall at the place where
they enter the main drain. They should moi
enter the main drain directly, so as TO form
a right angle, but should be curved to.
wards its outlet. BY this means, the water
from the minor drains will not form an
obstruction in the main drain, but will
flow rapidly, and will carry away sand and
mud. Very serviceable drains may be
made with small stones, if they are put in
carefully to the depth of eight or ter
inches and covered with green sods, with
the grass side down. The covering should
be close and perfect, to keep sand from en-,
tering and choking the drain. When tiles
are used, they should be of good quaiity
One soft, badly burned tile may cave IN
and obstruct the whole drain. Western
