OUR neighbor has become so absorbed in
Its new born love for the Greeley party, and
SO oblivious of its life long Democracy that it
neglected, Tuesday morning, to publish, in
its Congressional proceedings, the remarks of
that veteran Democrat, Mr. VOORHEES, of In
diana. We sincerely hope that the Argus will
not SO fully throw itself into its latest politi-
cal investment as to forget that it is a news
paper. 1t should remember, also, that it has
goodly number of venerable Democratic
patrons who having drawn their straight
Democratic inspirations from the argus for
more than half century, still fondly cherish
the delusion that it is an out and out Demo-
cratic paper. What will they say when the
argus squelches Democratic speeches, be-
cause they criticise the man who has said O,

the haunts of vice and debaucheryr'

THE New York World after coquetting
with the Cincinnati nomination, and con-
founding its readers by looking "eross-eyed'
at the Democratic party and the Liberal
movement, has at length come out fiat-footed
against the Greeley movement. In an article
entitled: 'Shall the Democratic Party Com
NIT Suicide?" it scouts the idea of taking UP
the Cincinnati ticket at Baltimore, and in a
strain hardly polite, should the action at Bal
timore prove favorable to that ticket. Never
tneless' 1t sees the danger ahead to its party,
ana correctly estimates that the adoption of
'ne Ireeley ticket would be fatal to that party
"a clear case of felo de Sc. To show the ab-
surdity of the proposition the World .sI.
"What would become of the Republican n.rtv
if it should run Alexander H. Stephens or
Robert Toombs as its candidate for Pres;-
dent? Mr.. Greeley as a Democratic candi-
date is not whit less selfstultifying."

Washington Matters.
PROSPECTS OF THE TARIFF BILL.

PROSPECTS OF THE TARIFF BILL
The indications multiply daily that the House
will pass the tariff bill substantially in the
present form during the week, and SO soon as
that is out of the way it is certain that Mr.
Dawes will report and ask the House to pass
the Senate resolution. When the internal rev
enue sections of the tariff bill, which are also
included in the resolution closing debate on
Thursday, are reached, Mr.. Dawes intends to
move to strike off all taxes except those on
whiskey, malt and spurious liquors and tobac-
CO, and to provide for the collection of these by
stamps. The rates of taxes will be nearly the
same as that in the pending bill and the sys-
tenn OF collection by stamps will permit the
practical and early absorption of nearly the ell
tire working force of the Internal Revenue
Bureau. Judge Kelley and his high tariff fol-
lowers will unite with Mr.. Dawes in the reduc-
tion OF the internal revenue, but it is doubtful
if Senator Sherman and the Finance Commit
tee of the Senate accept it without considerable
change.
POLITICAL INTRIGUEs. ..
The cOnspirators against the reelection of
Gen. Grant, having completed their Cincinnati
lob, are now busily intriguing here to influence
the Philadelphia Convention. They hope that
they can in some way prevent the denomination
of Gen. Grant there, and nursing the hopes of
half dozen Republicans who have Presiden-
tial aspirations, by intimating that they will
succeed it Gen. Grant can be gotten out of the
vances have already been repelled by Mr. Col
fax, Mr.. Blaine and Mr. Morton, each of whom
is a staunch advocate of the denomination of
Gen. Grant as the regular Republican candi-
date and of his reelection Whether they can
pull wooP over the eyes of any other gentle
man deluded by ambition remains to be seen;
but they will be busy between now and the
meeting of the Philadelphia Convention, add
ing all the while to their miserable record of
intrigue, falsehood and deceit.

A Strange Thing to Do.

1t would be strange thing to elect man
to the Presidency of this country who in ev-
cry important crisis since 1858 would have
taken a course, as we know from his recorded
utterances, which, as is now acknowledged
on all hands, would have been essentially
wrong in all cases and fatal in some of them
just go over the record once more: Douglas
against Lincoln for Senator in 1858; peaceful
secession in 1860; ''on to Richmond early in
1861; the overthrow of Lincoln and peace at
any price in 1854 and the Immediate restora-
ton of Rebels to their political rights after
their defeat in 1865, thus rendering recon-
struction impossible and throwing the govern
ment instantly into the hands of its enemies.

A GGoD MovE.-The High School Glass
OF '72 has recently taken action in regard to
the class party of the graduates which will
commend itself to the good sense of all in
terested, When the school numbered less
than hundred pupils, the class party was
small and quiet social gathering. But for
several years past it has become large and
formal, and very expensive to those who get
1t up. For these reasons many of the gradu-
ates and most of the community have lost
their interest in it. Each class, however, on
whom it has devolved to give the party, has
been unwilling to take the responsibility of
OF giving it up. But the young ladies of the
class of '72, by vote of eight-nlnths of their
members, soon released the class of III,
from their obligation to give the party; and
this action was unanimously endorsed by the
young men of the class, who added a request
to the graduating class of II that they will
not give party; and they ask their co-opera-
tion in bringing about discontinuance of
what has little interest in it as school affair.
When the High School Alumni Association
gets more fully to work, it can probably ar
range for an occasional reunion that will be
less expensive and more satisfactory.

Milking with Dry Hands.

! believe that much of the milk gets
tainted with noxious or bad odors
before it reaches the pail. Some per
sons, and hired help, especially, have q
habit of wetting their fingers with the
milk once in a while, and then wetting
the cows teats, as they say, to make
them milk easier. Now this wetting
process causes much foul stuff to drop
from the hands or teats in the pail
while milking. This is all wrong.
Cows can be MIXED as easy with dry
hands as wet ones have been in the
habit of milking COWS and although
have met with hard mixers that re-
ouire their teats to be softened in order
to draw the milk, | have generally
found it easier and pleasanter to milk
with dry hands. If the teats are dirty,
the udder should be washed with tepid
water and allowed to dry before milk
ing and if the teats are very hard and
tough to draw, the COW had better be
turned into beef, or kept to raise calves
from.-PracticaL Farmer.

New Mode OF Cleaning Wool.

The Manchester Ecamiaer gives de
scription OF a new mode of cleaning
wool, which excites considerable inter
est among English manufacturers. BY
the new process wool is cleaned without
the use of alkalies, thereby, as the
patentees claim, preserving the fiber
and maintaining the elasticity and soft
ness of the wool in its natural state"
The patentees claim that the invention
will allow of a saving ot per cent. in
fiber, and the wool will work better
with one-half the quantity of oil now
gen rally used, that more work can be
done on the carding and other ma
chinery, and the wool spun to much
greater length without any diminution
in elasticity or strength; that in dying
the colors greatly excel In depth and
brilliancy and that the cloth made
from the wool thus prepared is superior,
both in appearance and reality, than
under tie old system. The hrst pro
cess takes place in a large room sur
rounded with iron tanks. The first of
these is filled with water, and into this
the rough wool is fed by an attend
ant. 1t is then passed through iron
rollers anu SIuetItu HCdliy vi ~ "hN
sent into second vat, which contains
fusil oil. The refuse oil and water after
this process are passed into tank and
pumped into stills, where the oil is ex-
tracted and recovered for future use.
The third cistern in the initiatory pro
cess contains pure fusil oil, and from
No. the wool, by this time compare
lively pure, is passed over rollers INTO
it. The oil from No. 3 cistern is utilized
in the same way as that OF No. :, being
run into large vat, cleansed and used
again. No. and No. cisterns are
filled with water, and the wool having
been passed through these and their
accompanying rollers, the first part OF
the process is complete. Of course, on
the fiber being washed tits rather damp,
although perfectly bleached and heautl-
fully soft. 1t is then packed into large
baskets like "skips," and sent by a
hoist to an upper floor, where 1t is dried
and made ready for manufacture, by
being spread over an apparatus known
as Petrie's patent, which is fitted with
hot water pipes and with revolving fans.
Another apparatus, on somewhat
different principle, is in course OF con-
struction. Atpresent the wool is COM
pletely dried in little more than an
hour from its being sent from the

Keen Cattle Growing.

The most successful breeders of horses,
cattle, sheep or swine know from ex-
perience that although they may pos
sesses the best breeding animals, they
will not be successful in producing su-
perior stock if continuous growth OF
the young animals is not kept up. In
order to begin in time at this indis-
pensable preparation for success, the
brood mares, COWS, ewes, and sows are
most carefully and suitably fed while
with young, as soon "a the young ami
mails make their appearance, they are
taken the greatest care OF, the dams
being suitably fed while sucking, and
when the young ones are weaned, they
are not supposed to want for food or
dril k a single hour
By this means a continuous or rapid
growth is kept up, and the animals at
tain a large size and heavy weight at an
early age. When breeding animals are
not properly fed and comfortably shell
tered in winter, the bad effect of such
treatment is not confined to their own
want Of condition-it is shared by their
progeny, and can never be remedied.
When young stock are not fed well and
comfortably sheltered in winter, their
growth becomes stunted, and no subse-
quent amount of good treatment can
repair the damage. Young animals
may suffer for want of proper provender
in summer and autumn, as well as in
winter, and when this happens it stops
continuous growth, an | prevents ulti-
mate success in the object of the breeder.

Excellent Varnish for Harness.

Pulverize and put in jug or bottle
half a pound to a pound of gum
shellac, cover with good alcohol, and
cork tightly. Put the mixture in a
warm place. In about two days, if
shaken frequently, the gum will be dis.
solved and ready for use. If the liquid
appears as thick as thin molasses add
more alcohol. To one quart of the
varnish add one ounce of good lamp
black, and an ounce of gum camphor.
An occasional coat of this is also good
for rendering boots water proof.

A Willow Hedge.

A correspondent of the Central Union
Agric,lt,riSt writes in praise of the
golden willow for hedge. He says:
My plan for making fence of the
golden willow is to pillow the hedge row
in the fall previous to planting, then
procure your slips in good season, say
from the lst of March to the 18th OF
April, and Just as soon after the frost Is
out of the ground as possible have
your slips cut twelve or fourteen inches
long put them in the ground eight
inches deep, and six inches apart eul.
tivate them well, and at one year old
braid them down within eight inches OF
the ground at two years old braid
them down within twenty inches of the
ground, and so on in proportion, until
you have a fence four or five feet high,
which will take four or five years, and
then you have an everlasting fence.
