A Sensible View &c the Political Situa-
fiOn
From the Boston Traveller.


That there are Republican chiefs
ready to break with the Administration
is sufficiently apparent, but they mean
to adhere to the Republican party as
long as there shall be any hope of such
adherence proving profitable It is
possible that some of them may "bolt :"
after the nomination of President Grant
for they hate him as bitterly as ever
he was hated by those Southern rebels
whom they would join. But their ac-
tion would not have any effect on the IA
suit of the Presidential election, for
they would not carry any Republican
voters with them. There is not State
that is likely to vote for President
Grants reelection that would be lost
because of the desertion to Democracy
of any present Republican of eminence.
Would Massachusetts, desert to Demo-
cracy under any circumstances? Ger
tainly not Would Illinois follow Mr..
Trumbull over into the enemy's camp
because that ''Little Bilious gentle
man wanted something from President
Grant and did't get it? Certainly not.
Mr. Fenton might take New York back
to the Democrats, restoring it to Tam
many Tweed and his friends; but then,
no Republican ever has counted upon
the vote of New York being obtained
for the reelection of President Grant.
No-if the illustrious egotists, whose
names are constantly brought forward
as types of disaffection, are to become
deserters, they will desert alone; and
in that case they will get very grim
welcome from the Democracy, who
have leaders enough of their own
leaders who want none to divide places
with them, but who desire an accession
of votrrs. The great body of the Re
publican party are bent, not upon the
exaltation of any man, but upon the
keeping down of the Democracy, whose
restoration to power would be a source
of danger to the country; and as the
reelection of President Grant would
best effect their purpose they go for
his nomination in June-and they will
re-elect him in November.

Electrical Phenomena.

The Worcester Spy speak, of certain
electric phenomena as peculiar to a
house on Pleasant street. By walking
around the room, and rubbing the feet
on the carpet, a person becomes highly
charged with electricity, so that, on
touching register or conductor of any
sort, spark is seen. It is also posi-
BILE to light the gas by spark gener-
ated in this way. These interesting
phenomena can be witnessed in almost
any house where there is wooden car
pet with paper under it. Not every
body has the capacity to hold and give
off electricity acquired in this way, but
it IS common, especially among young
ladies. To get electricity enough to
light the gas is indeed difficult, and
probably possible in most instances,
only IN dry, cold weather, but it is very
easy, after draying the feet across the
floor two or three times, to get dis
tlnctIy audible snap on touching the
chandelier. Another form of the ex-
pertinent is to insulate stool by plac-
ing its legs in tumblers. A person
standing on it can be charged with
electricity by rubbing OF beating him
with a muff.

Meat Extracts and Beef Tea.

DR.. ?. Miller has given, in the Moni-
teur Scientifique, an account of his re-
searches on the subject, and his con-
clusions are as follows Meat extracts
are neither directly nor indirectly food !;
for they do not contain albumenoid
matter, neither do the nitrogenous
principles which they contain arrest
dissemination that is, they do not
prevent the waste of the organic mat
ter which composes the body. In small
doses, those extracts are useful, by the
stimulant action of the potassa salts,
which promote digestion and circula-
ton; in strong doses-too large at
once-these substances may have a
very injurious effect. When given to
cOnvalescents from serious diseases,
especially If the system is exhausted
by prolonged abstinence, the potassa
salts present in these extracts in large
quantities will act more iniuriously,
because the system has lost great
deal of chloride of sodium instead,
then, of promoting digestion, these
substances will interfere with it. a., by
the direct action Of the salts of potash
on the blood globules, whereby the
absorption Of the oxygen by these
globules is greatly decreased; (2) by
the predominance of such salts in the
serum of the blood which only physic-
allydissolves,car acid, and does not
allow the normal quantity of that gas
to be exhaled and thus impede the ac-
cess of oxygen. Medical men should
bear in mind that, if given alone,
these extracts, and likewise beef tea,
are no nutriment, and only tend to
keep the convalescent weak, being thus
i'll fed, or rather, not fed at all. These
conclusions are substantially those
entertained by Liebig and many other
Investigators in the same field.

Remnants Journal gives a formula
for the preparation of what is claimed
to be the most beautiful of all known
white colors To prepare this, for each
hundred pounds ofwool are to be taken
three pounds of alum, two pounds of
sulphuric acid, one pound of cream of
tartar, and three-eighths of an ounce of
anhydrous iodine violet. In this the
wool is to be immersed for an hour, at ia
temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
The iodine violet must be blueish, and
the quantity to be used will vary slight
ly in amount with the tone of the de-
sired white. A fresh bath of three
pounds of chloride of bariUm is also to
be made, and into this the blued wool
is to be introduced and left for two
hours, at temperature of 104 Fab.
The result is deposit of sulphate of
barytes in the wool, which retained a
quantity OF sulphu1ic acid from the
first bath. This gives to the wool a
beautiful white, and increases it's
weight about IS per cent. The use Of
the chloride of barium is, it is said,
preferable to the chalking of white
goods, and for whitening the woods in
question.

The New York Tribune tells the Re
publican boilers it cannot go with them
unless they abandon their free-trade or
"revenue reform" heresy. Isn't this
rather severe ON them? They have
precious little principles at the best,
and OF what little they have, their doc
trine ON the tariff is the major part.
Amnesty is temporary question. Civil
service reform have been appropriated
by the President. Opposition to the
tariff is about the only semblance of
principles left them, and now the Tri-
bune insists that as the price of its
support they must give up that also,
and rely solely on personal hostility to
Grant. AS this is the substance of the
movement any way, perhaps the Trl-
bune is not far wrong after all

The Eight Hour Law.

Halls Journal of Health has plain
talk about the eight-hour law It puts
the point essentially in this way: eff
I pay for eight hours work as much as
y hours work is worth, my house costs
me one-third more than it is worth, )"
the rent must be one
third higher. The workman gets as
much for his eight hours as he used to
get for 10 or u, but house-rent, and
food and clothing cost more hence,
unless he works more than eight
hours he is living beyond his means. "

The Burdens of the Day.
BY BAYARD TAYLOR.

BY BAYARD TAYLOR.
Who shall rise and cast away,
First, the burdens of the day?
Who assert his place and teach
Lighter labor, nObler speech,
Standing firm, erect and strong,
Proud as freedom, free as song?
Io! we groan beneath the weight
Our own weaknesses create
Crook the knee and shut the lip,
All for tanner fellowship;
Load our slack, compliant clay
With the burden of the day.
Higher paths there are to tread:
Fresher fields around us spread:
Other flames of sun and star
Flash at hand and lure afar:
Larger manhood might we share,
Surer fortune-did We dareI
In our mills of common thought,
By the pattern all is wrought
In our school of life, the man
Drills to slit the public plan,
And through labor, love and play,
Shifts the burdens of the day.
Power of all its right of noneI
Right hath each beneath the SIN
To the breadth and liberal space
OF the independent race
To the chariot and the steed,
To the viii, desire and deed!
All, the gods of wood and stone
Can single SAINT dethrone.
But the people who shall aid
'Gainst the puppets they have made?
First they teach and then obey,
'Tis the burden of the day.
Thunder shall we never hear
In this ordered atmosphere?
Never this monotony feel
Shattered by trumpet's peal?
Never airs that burst and blow
From eternal SUBMITS, know?
Though no man resent his wrong,
Still is free the poets song;
Still, stag, his thoughts may leap
0'er the herded swine and sheep,
And in pastures far away
Lose the burden of the day.

Mr.. Greeley and the Republican Ma
tiOnal Conventions. Comments of Re.
publican Papers on Mr.. GreeIey's Ac-
fiOu
From the Boston Journal.

From the Boston Journal.
The appearance of the official call for
the Republican National Convention
without Mr.. Greeley's name attached
to it naturally attracts attention to
position and course of conduct which
are somewhat representative at this
time. Mr.. Greeley, as member of the
Republican National Committee, was
not acting in his Individual capacity,
as if the question related to calling q
mass meeting. He was holding the re-
sponsible trust as representative of
the Republicans of the great State of
New York, and he was bound to express
their voice and do their will so far as
his place allowed. Now the call of the
convention was an act of such ordinary
party haracter-having no discover
able bearing upon the selection of this
or that candidate-that no committee
man could refuse to affix his signature,
unless he wanted to give notice that he
would not be bound by the decision of
the convention. That, we take it, is
the meaning of Mr.. Greeley's course
AS man, he has full right to take it;
but we do not see what right he has to
stlt1e the voice of Republican New
York, and to hold on to place for
whichsshe is already proclaiming his un-
fitness.
From the Buffalo Commercial.
We do not dispute Mr.. Greeley's un-
questionable right to oppose Gen.
Grants denomination, if he sees fit to
do so. We do deny his right to plant
i1Jr 10 l.
party's wishes, and to claim at the same
time the privileges of good and faithful
membership. Mr. Greeley, of course
has but one object in his refusal to act
with the National committee. He
wants to hold himself in a place where
he can refuse to support the Republican
candidate, in case the President should
be renominated After this Mr.. Greeley
certainly cannot expect that the Tri-
bune will be recognized as having any
authority to speak for the Republican
party.
From the Daily Pilot, Jackson, Miss
Senator Fenton, of New York, and
Mr.. Greeley, of the Tribune, are oppos-
ed to Gen. Grants denomination, and,
of course, his reelection But their
efforts will not avail much. Strong
as Mr.. Greeley is, and as influential as
his paper, both together will count
nothing when placed against the general
wish of the Republican party of the
country. Judge S. P. Chase wanted to
be President, and because he was not
taken up by the Republican party he
went back on his political associates of
20 years standing, and now affiiates
with Democrats. Andy Johnson want
ed to be renominated, and because the
Republican party concluded not to take
him up he soured on the Republican
party and fought it through more than
half of the Presidential term, but was
defeated, and will remain in obsecurity
the remainder of his life Others of
less note have attempted the same sort
of policy and have failed, and SO will
Greeley. We wonder when that class
of men will learn political wisdom
from the failures of others.

While Shows are Falling.

The spring-time came-the spring time went,
With shimmering cloud and shining weather
Inc golden glory of June was spent;
On hills and fields we roamed together,
we walked through summers purple haze,
Inc futures dream of bliss forestalling
ana shuddering thought of winter days,
With SHOWS a-falling
For earth was all so wondrous fair
And heaven smiled down so blne nj ove IL
Each wandering breath of balmv air.
But bade us learn anew to love il
What wonder if with all so bright
And wild birds through the woodland caI1ino
We sighed to think of a winters night.
And snow a-falIing.
But when at last the world was dressed
In shining robes of iee-Inail cleaning
And calm, white silence luled to rest
The pale, dead flowers beneath it dreaming;
Behold we woke to find made true.
The hope our hearts had been forestalling
And life grew fairer than we knew
While SHOWS were falling.
All well the days of youth fly fast,
Their suns grow dim, their blossoms wither,
And all the dreams that made our past
Fly fast and far, we knew not whther
And when we tread lfes wintry slope,
We hear again their voices calling,
And Memory clasps the hand of Hope,
While SHOWS are falling
