yankee.

The prospects of the Democratic
Conve ntion, to be held at Louisville in
September, are Frightening every day.
The Sumner letter has proauced, a
a marked influence in weakening the
Greeley follows In TIE. party, and
those who have hagering affection
for the "time-honereds principles" are
looking to thsa eonYention for chance
to escape. &fom a: situation that maddens
and diRgusts them. 1t is now certain
thai delegates from every state 10 the
Union will be present at Louisville, and
that suitable candidates will ba put in
nomination. Earnest Democrats who
detest Greeley and cannot make up
their minds to support Grant, will then
have chance to exercise the right of
suffrage without a. sense Of personal de-
graduation.
A Norwegian Republican paper will
shortly make. its appearance in Chica-
go, "Amerika" by name, which will
be conducted With energy and ability,
and deliver telling blows in the pres
ent campaign for Grant and Wilson.
Senator Upton had three brothers-in
law, nephew, and son appointed to
office, and tried to have another Sen
appointed to valuable consulshlp. He
is opposed to nepotism, and tor that
reason he will not vote for Grant.
Matt. C. Comerfort writes to the
Minneapolis Tribune that the Irishmen
of Minnesota viii repudiate Connolly,
Belmont, Hoffman and Boss Tweed,
and vote for Grant and Wilson.
Gen Logan, who has had the best
opportunity for knowing, declared re-
Gently, in Nebraska, that he did not
believe that Grant made overtures to
any Senators to persuade them to favor
his San, Domingo scheme. He Qogan)
was one of those opposed to it, yet no
emissary approached him with over
lures of Presidential favors; and Sen
ator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, had
similar experience. Is Mr.. Schurz
so important parsonage that his sup
port alone is of any weight

We notice that in manyplaces this
season, the compliant is attacked by
by n minute insect, very similar to
what gardeners who have g%raperies
call the "thrip," 1t is SO small that
it can only be seen distinctly by n
pocket lens, when it appears as n
small whitish- brown thread, about n
line in length. 1t is, however, very
active. When disturbed, it jumps
like the cabbagc.len, 1t feeds on
the green mattcrof the leaves, usual
" eating in straight lines mp md
down between the ribs, leaving m
appearance of delicate, thread like
lines where they have fed. That
they are Il serious injury is evident
from the fact that the corn so at
tackled is not so thrifty and vigorous
as that free from the yisitations Of
the insect. Indeed, rs the effect is
to prevent the use Of half the leaf
surface to the plant, it must be an
injury. 1t is the same MS plucklug
off one of the leaves, the consequence
of which we all know very well
Whether it has come to stay, or Is
only Il casual visitor, remains to be

Avoid bathing within two hours

Avoid bathing when exhausted by
fatigue or from any Other cause.
Avoid bathing when the body is
cooling after perspiration; but battle
when the body is warm, provided no
time is lost in getting into the water,
Avoid chilling the body by sitting
or standing naked on the banks or
in boats, after having boon in the
water.
Avoid remaining too long in the
water, but leave it Immediately there
is the slightest feeling Of chillness.
Avoid bathing altogether in the
open air if, after having been II short
time in the water, there is n sense OF
chillinoss, with numbnosB Of the

The vigorous and strong may
batho early in the morning on ~

time for such il from two to three
hours after breakfast.

This is an irritation or inflammation
of the bronchial tubes which carry the
mir we breathe into the lungs. 1t arises
from II cold settled in the throat, from
Catarrh extending to these parts, from
scrofulous affections, and from severe
use of the voice. The irritation from
this latter cause commences IN the Idr-
mr. and giOtis, which are the organs OF
the voice, and, extending downwards,
produces h%Oarsencss, coughing, and
splitting mucous matter, sometimes
mixed with blood. 1t is chiefly danger
Gus from it's tendency to spread into the
lungs, and terminate in consumption.

A writer in the Fair Play, at
Fulton, Mo-, says: ave are led to
think, that in our dry, hot climate,
.hc timothy meadows are cut too
close. This is particularly the case
when the cutting is done with a
mower, which is now almost uni
v~ersal. The bulb having been
shaded in its growth by the tall
grass, is suddenly laid bare to the
almost vertical rays of a burning
July and August sun, which dries
every particle of moisture in it; con-
sequently when the rains come, the
bulb has lost its terminating. pow
er. We noticed last year, where a
small portion of a meadow was cut
with a cradle for seed, that the
growth of grass during the fall was
far greater, and also, that the limo
thy is a great deal heavier on that
part this season than alongside
where it IA mown close with the
machine.

But gliding swiftly on alone,

Yet in the child Of shame aud wrath

Whose day. to measures Of delight

And sped the liver sands Of night
