Causes of Dew.

If dew fell, it would fall for the same
reason that rain falls but dew does not
fall, it is simply a deposit of moisture, al
ways contained in the air to a greater or
lesser degree, and which, when there is
enough of it, will always form on any cold
body exposed to the moist air, in precisely
the same way that cold bottle or stone,
taken from cold cellar and suddenly ex-
posed in the shade to the moist, warm sum-
mer air, will become wet this is not sweat
ing, nor does this moisture come out of the
bottle or stone, as many people believe but
from the air. 1t is for the same reason
that moisture will condense against the
window-panes, when the air is cold out
side, and moist inside, the moisture slowly
freezing, while it's deposits form crystals of
ice, which we so often admire in winter.
When the weather is cool enough, the
moisture deposited will even freeze on
plants and grass, and then we call it hoar
frost if it does not freeze, it is simply dew.
does the ground become so cool duriug the
night, so much cooler than the air above it
as to cause the latter to deposit its mois-
ture? This was, for many years, vexed
problem, till Wells first suggested the radi-
alton of obscure heat, which takes place
from the surface of the earth through the
clear atmosphere into the space above, and
so causes the surface to become much cool
or than tho air itself He demonstrated
this by means of thermometers placed at
different heights, and also by the fact
that dew is only deposited on cloudless
nights. When there are clouds, they reflect
the heat or preventit from escaping. The
surface Of the earth thus being kept from
cooling, no dew is deposited. -Manufae-

Hints to Farmers.

In screwing nuts into any part of ma
chipery, in cold weather, be careful they do
not contract after being screwed on tight
and become immovable afterwards
In plowing or teaming on the road in hot
weather, always rest the horses on an en-
inence, where one minute is worth two in
warm valley.
In setting out young orchards, always
register the varieties immediately in book,
where they may be referred to in few
years, when the trees commence bearing,
and the tables are lost and name forgotten.
In laying a garden for fruits and vegeta-
bles, place everything in drills or rows, SO
that they can be cultivated by horse, and
thus save the expense of hand labor.
If beets are harvested properly, in good
dry weather, they will not be likely to re-
tain much earth, especially if the soil is
light. Otherwise, pains must be taken to
knock the earth off.
Paint all tools exposed to the weather,
and if with lght-colored paint they will
not heat, warp or crack in the sun.
Dip well-seasoned shingles in lime
wash, and dry them before laying, and
they will last much longer, and not become
covered with moss.
Always tie a halter by first making a
single loop, and thrusting the end of the
halter through this loop. This is quickly
united, and will never come united itself.
Dip the ends of nails into grease, and
they will drive easily into hard wood where
they otherwise double and break.

The following extract from q
speech made by Horace Greeley, in
January, 1871, at the re-organiza-
ton of the New York Republican
General Committee, indicates what
he then thought of Grants admins
tration, aud, incidentally his opin-
ions regarding the one term prin-
ciple:
Gas to the administrator of Gen.
Grant, / recognize no one as Re-
publican who is not grateful for its
judicious, energetic and successful
efforts to procure the ratification OF
the Fifteenth Amendment, that key
stone of our political arch, whereby
the fruits Of our great triumph over
rebellion and slavery are assured
and perpetuated.
"That the President has made
some mistakes in appointments is
obvious-it would be strange, in
deed, if one so inexperienced in the
conduct Of political affairs had
wholly escaped them. While as
serting the right of every Republi-
can to his untrammelcd choice Of a
candidate for next President until a
nomination is made, l venture to
suggest that Gen. Grant will be far
better qualified for that momentous
trust in 1872 than he was in 1861
Such, gentlemen, are the ideas and
convictions which have impelled
me to take my place among you, and
accept the responsibility you have
imposed upon me-"

We copy from the Dubuque
Times the following eappreciatives
mention Of the standing and infu-
ence which our member has already
won for himself in Congress. AS
we predicted at the outset Of his
Congressional career, Mr.. Donnan
is making himself felt and respect
ed for his solid working qualities;
his thorough mastery of the details
Of business, and his intelligent judy
ment upon all matters within the
scope of his Investigations:
Mr.. Donnan, member from this
District, seems to be the most eff
cient member of the House Military
Committee, next to its chairman, if
we are to judge from the relative
degree Of prominence Of its men,
bers in the presentation of its bust
ness to the House, and in the dis
cussion Of that business. A por-
ton of Thursday last was given up
to the business of that committee,
and we notice from the Globe that
Mr.. Donnan presented large por-
ton Of the bills, a number OF which
were extensively discussed, and in
all Of which discussions Mr.. Donnan
took very prominent part, being
sustained by the vote of the House
in each instance. Upon the Senate
bill to enable the President to APP
point a Paymaster General Of the
army, which was amended by the
House Committee so as to make the
rank that of Colonel instead of
Brigadier General, as the Senate
had voted, Mr.. Donnan supporting
the House amendment, was strongly
opposed by Mr.. Stoughton, of Michi-
gan. In a clear, torciblc speech,
however, covering the whole ground
of army organization as contempla-
ted by Congress, Mr.. Donnan show
ed the economy and propriety Of
returning to the staff grades before
the war, as rapidly as vacancies
would admit. He showed the in
equality of having Brigadier at
the head Of seven, eight or nine
staff corps of an army, when Con-
gress had already limited the num-
Der of Brigadiers in the line to com
mand 10000 men, to six. The
House triumphantly sustained him,
and voted the economical change
which he had insisted upon.
In also carrying the House with
him by two-thirds majority, upon
hio resolution to cut off debate on
the tariff, Mr.. Donnan completely
demoralized the opponents of tariff
reduction, and opened the way, not
only to the passage Of the Tariff
bill but to the speedy adjournment
of Congress since voted.

NV man Vas tried. Hs would have

Ter they would secode. He sorely
perplexed the opening Of Mr.. Lin
coins administration, forcing tho
army into the field before It was
ready, He begged Mr.. Lincoln to
try to buy q peace by paying for the

ence in a manner which Mr.. Lincoln
declared put him in a false position
before the country. And he signed
letter to the loyal Governors af-
ter Mr.. Lincoln was renominated in
1864, substantially asking whether
lie should not be set aside and q
new candidate selected. Consider
such facts as these, occurring at
moments Of great national exigency,
and decide what would have
CHANGED had Horace Greeley been
in the place of Abraham Lincoln.
II there is one quality which is
Indispensable in a President, it is
sound Judgment. If there is one
public man who is totally destitute
Of it, it is Horace Greeley. A GER
tain kindly feeling with which he is
regarded will not blind the country
to his natural unfitness for the office
to which he has been nominated.
Mr.. Greeley himself comedies the
personal rcctitude of General Grant.
1t is the allegation of the best men
who went to Cincinnati, not that
the President is dishonest, but that
he is influenced by unworthy coun-
sellers. They would have man
whose will is adamant. 1t is not
enough for them that his purpose is
pure. But is there human being
competent to Judge who supposcs
that General Grant is easily mould
ed by his associates, and that Mr..
Greeley would not be wax in the
hands Of fiattercrs? To intrust the
national government to his direction
would be to abandon the ship Of
State to be blown about by every
Whimsical gust. The present Ad-
ministration may be justly amena-
BILE to censure in some points, as,
indeed, every Administration must
be. But it is inconccivablc that
the patriotic intelligence of this
country could substitute Horace
Greeley for General Grant.-Har-

PEACEABLE SECESSION.
What Horace Greeley thought Of It
Before and During the War,

From the New York Tribune of Nov. 0. 1850.
eff the cotton States shall become
satisfied that they can do better out
of the Union than in it, we insist
on letting them go in peace. The
right to sccede may be revolu-
tionary one, but it exists neverthc.
less. We must ever re.
sist the right of any State to remain
in the Union and nullify and defy
the laws thereof.
s'To withdraw from the Union is
quite another matter; and whenever
a considerable section of our Union
shall deliberately resolve to go ont,
we shall resist all coercive measures
to keep them in it. We hope never
to live in republic where one Sec
ton is pinned to another by bayo.
nets"
From the New York Tribune, Nov. &c. 1859.
eff the cotton States unitedly and
earnestly wish to withdraw from
the Union, we think they should be
allowed to do so. Any attempt to
compel them by force to remain
would be contrary the principles
enunciated in the immortal Declare
ton Of Independence, contrary to
the fundamental ideas on which hu-
man liberty is based"
From the New York Tribune. Dec. II, 1854
eff it (the Declaration of indie:
pendence) justified the secession
from the British empire of three
millions of colonists in 1916, we do
not see why it would not justify the
secession of five. millions Of South
rons from the federal Union in
1861. If we are mistaken on this
point, why does not some one at
tempt to show wherein and why?-
For our own part, while we deny
the right of shareholders to hold
slaves against the will of the latter,
we do not see how twenty millions
of people can rightfully hold ten, or
even five, in dctcsted union with
them ny military force"
From the New York Tribune, Feb. %, 1861.
awe have repeatedly said, and
we once more insist, that the great
principles embodied by Jefferson in
the Declaration of Independence,
that governments derive their just
powers from the consent Of the gov
erned, is sound and just, and that if
the slave States, the cotton States,
or the gulf States only choose to
form an independent nation, they
have 4 clear moral right to do so.
\ Whenever it shall be
clear that the great body of the
Southern people have become con-
cluslvely alienated from the Union,
and anxious to escape from it, we
will do our best to forward their
views"
