Ventilation.

OPPORTUNITY for the ingress of pure
air, and the egress of that which is i'm
pure, is absolutely requisite in the con-
struction of every house. Previous to
the introduction of stoves as warming
apparatus for houses, these we're moder-
ately well ventilated by the open CRATES
and fire-places which they contained.
The pure air, because cold, rushed down
the chimney, and, becoming warmed by
passing the fire, spread through the
house, furnishing life to its inmates.
Through the same opening the rarified
air, being lightened, ascended, and thus
constant renewal was had. In those days
ventilation was not studied, because adj
ditional means for it were not needed.
Necessity being the mother of invention,
where no necessity existed, means were
not considered. Hence, in those days
ventilation was not discussed; and yet
men, and especially women, maintained
degree of health and vigor and hardi-
ness of constitution, which are both the
marvel and envy of modern times.
Grandmothers' vigor and personal endow-
ments are still the desired, but despaired-
of prize of modern ambition.
Wherein consists the remarkable
change since then? Whence the dyspep-
sias, nervous arrangements, female weak
nesses, consumptions, etc., of our time ?
Through the closing of fire-places by the
invention of stoves. By this change in
household arrangements the inmates of
our houses have been largely deprived of

the Ie-giring Oxygen. the Uitdl air of the
atmosphere. Every breath we draw,
every lamp that burns, every fire that
warns us, consumes this air in large
quantities and if it is not replenished by
constant ingress from the stores of ma
ture, we must grow dull, pale, weak,
inert, and finally succumb to disease and
death. And yearly millions go down to
untimely graves, and the groans of the
dying are constantly heard, as the result
of want of ventilation. 1t has taken a
long time for us to learn the fact and
even now it is imperfectly understood.
Men who argue for ventilation are still
considered fanatics, and the idea re-
mains new-fangled to many.
Houses, then, should be properly ven-
tilated. If no other means have been
provided, every window should be ar.
ranged with pulleys and fastenings, so as
to be readily lowered from the top and
raised from the bottom. An opening is
necessary, part of the time at least, in al
weathers, if the room is inhabited. There
must be constant change of air, and thi:
cannot be effected through closed win
dows or impervious doors-Science O

Look Out for Slanders.

WE warn Republicans to be on the
lookout for tornado of slanders from
this day until election. AS fast as one lie
is nailed dozen spring up to take its
place. The Confederate party is whipped
-disgracefully, mercilessly whipped. In
the rage and chagrin of defeat, the lead.
ers of the coalition are engaged in the
manufacture of wholesale libels upon
honest men. Not day but something
new is invented.
Foremost in this attempt to turn atten-
ton from the desperate condition of Lib
eralism, and fasten guilt upon the Repub.
lican party, is the Chicago Tribune. We
call attention to few of the crimes of
that sheet against truth, decency and
law:
1t was guilty of publishing a pretended
extract from a speech of Mr.. COlfax
which the latter has repeatedly denounced
as a forgery.
1t has published garbled extracts from
private letters that were stolen from the
owners, the Tribune becoming particeps
eTiminis by thus sharing in the theft.
1t has revived libel on the President
in connection with the sale of real estate
in this city which it k7ao1os to be false,
malicious and unfounded, and which was
exposed as such two years ago.
1t is Just now endeavoring to sullv the
fair name of a score of upright men, of
both political organizations, in connec-
ton with some alleged improper transac-
tion in Pacific Railroad stocks, thus defil-
ing itself and its party for the purpose of
making capital against the Republican
candidate for Vice-President.
1t has ceased fighting for victory, and is
only trying to make the character of GER
tain eminent Republicans as black as its
own. The sooner it finds out that this
achievement is impossible the more it will
save in midnight oil, and the wear and
tear of an already jaded and mutilated
conscience Chicago Inter Ocean.

Fences.

Two THOUSAND millions of dollars is
the estimated amount of money invested
in fences in this country, which is nearly
equal to the amount of the national debt
on which interest is paid, and about the
same as the estimated value of all the
farm animals in the United States. For
every dollar invested in live stock,
another dollar is required for the con-
struction of defenses to resist their at
tacks on farm production. Experiment
has proved that at least half this expense
is unnecessary. Wherever it has been
tried. wherever farm animals are restrain
ed, and their owners are placed under
fence) bonds for the good behavior of
their restless dependents, the system is
regarded with general and growing salts
faction /; capital is released from unprofit-
able investment and made available for
farm improvement, soiling is encouraged,
the manurial resources of stock husband
duction and higher profit. Even where
herd law of some sort has not been
enacted, the tendency is strong, as many
correspondents assert, toward the reduc-
ton of the amount of fencing; as repairs
are needed, division fences are taken
down and the material used to keep out
side fences in repair fields are almost
everywhere becoming larger; in the
younger States, single field often an
swers all requirements, and sometimes
single inclosure embraces within its
bounds many farms. The entire town of
Greeley, in Colorado, with its suburbs for
gardens and small market farms, is sur
rounded with single fence, the cattle
being excluded and kept outside upon the
illimitable plains. 1t is possible to dis
pense with fencing to the value of one
thousand million dollars, and the advan-
tages of the change would greatly over
balance the inconvenience of it. Let the
farmers discuss the subject in the light of
actual experiment, rather than under the
influence of ancient prejudice, and their
views will soon coincide with their true
interests.-Agricultu' al Report.

Tribune Advice to the Greeley1tes.

THE Missouri Democrat thinks that the
New York Tribune might very appropri-
ately throw out the following suggestions
for the benefit of its friends:
l. Don't drink too mach rum just neao. 1t
is very well known that all Democrats
love rum above anything else, but the hot
weather, cooperating with The delsriune
tremens, may reduce the vote, unless pre-
cautions of sobriety be taken at once.
2. Don't Kill any nlqgerS. The Demo-
cratic party hates niggers, but the present
is bad time to kill them. Postpone your
intentions for the present for the good of
the cause. There will be plenty of time
to kill niggers, and plenty of niggers to
kill, after we have won our glorious tri-
umph in November.
8. Close your rat pits for the present. You
cannot give the necessary attention to
politics if you devote a great part of
your time to killing rats. 1t is a very
healthful and inspiring exercise, but just
at present it would be more profitable to
you aud to me to kill off the Grant party.
By the exercise of little self-denial, you
will be able to close the rat-pits and de-
vote your entire energies to the success of
the ticket.
4. DO not commit any unnecessary burglar
aes, murders or ro6berstS. Although the
laws are not very stringently administered
there is danger of an occasional convic-
ton and a consequent impairment of
your strength in November. 1t will be
well to appoint restraining committees in
all the wards of New York City, whose
duty it shall be to protect you against
temptations.
5. DO not burn any orphan asylumS or
school houses. There is prejudice in this
country against arson, which we cannot
hope to extirpate before November, and it
would be unwise to excite it at the present
time. There will be abundant opportuni
ty to burn every orphan asylum in the
country after the election of Greeley and
Brown.
6. DO not sag too much about pensioning
rebel soldiers 1t will be time enough to
discuss this subject when our party gets
into power. The people at large have an
idea that they do not want to pay these
pensions, and, although it is well to let
the fact be known in the South that we
intend to pay them, it is well also to keep
silent on that subject in the North.
Z. abuse General Grant an eCery possible
soay. 1t would be well also to say word
about his family. Do not forget that his
daughter has been abroad, and that per
haps her company has not been always
of the best. Consult Carl Schurz on thi:
point.
s. Promise ecery dou5ting Republican q
Post-Ofice. This plan has been very eff
fective in strengthening the Liberal cause
thus far. There may not be Post-Offices
enough to go round, but that will not be
determined until after the election.

Cooking Vegetables.

Why should vegetables be washed in
warm water first, then cold, to clease
them from sand and insects? The hot
water, which must be hotter than tepid,
causes the insects and sand to fall out at
once. Insects do not always dislike cold
water and salt, but hot water kills them.
1t must be understood that only a small
handful of green's or one head of cab
bage at time must be washed, and then
instantly thrown into cold water, which
crisps and thoroughly cleanses them.
Spinach, leeks, celery and seakale, are
thus rendered very clean, and, moreover,
are very rapidly cleansed. 1t is worse
than useless to attempt to cleanse vege.
tables in salt and water. The hardness
which salt creates in the water prevents
all cleansing properties. The salt may
kill the insects Gt does not always do this),
but they stick on so hard and fast; the
hot water makes them fall out at once
and the cold water crisps and also blanches
them.-Ars. Warren.

An Indian on Raising Peaches.

On the reservation in Western New
York, is Tuscarora Indian, whom a cor
respondent of the Chatauqua Farmer
states reasons thus in relation to having
healthy peach trees, and proves it by his
fruit. At all events it is an original idea,
if not altogether sound. He says:
John Mount Pleasant, who has a
farm of 200 acres in the southwest cor
ner of the reservation, about five miles
from Suspension bridge, told me that he
cleared So, 900 last year from the proceeds
of his fruit orchard and mentioned, in
cidentally, that the chief reason why his
peach trees were loaded with fruit while
Others apparently on the same kind of
soil bore nothing. was that in setting his
trees he always made deep hole with a
cavity into which he inserted the tap root
as deep as possible. He said the nursery.
men in pulling their trees for market,
very often cut off this tap-root. He
would never set out a tree thus mutilated
unless compelled to do so and in that
case he would take the longest lateral
root he couli find and thrust it down into
the hole as substitute for the Original
tap-root. By pursuing this course he al
most uniformly has a liberal crop Of
peaches. His peach trees are set in al
ternate rows with his apple trees"

Republican. There could be no de
nunciation of Republican measures,
because those which Democrats consider
most offensive are those which their can
didate had most warmly advocated. In
deed, the position was so ridiculous that
nothing remained butsilence, and formal
and feeble echo of the personal slapders
of the President, and of the demand of
Mr.. Fenton, Mr.. Mcclure, General Banks,
and General Cochrane of civil service re-
form.
Ex-senator Hendricks, indeed, the
Democratic candidate for Governor of
Indiana, has been stumping his State ;
but as a rule the Democrats have been
strangely quiet. If we are to elect the
candidate" they seem to say to their al
lies, "you must carry on the campaign. !"
But in the Southern States it is very diff
ferent. The Greeley meetings there are
Democratic meetings, and the orators are
Democrats. And there, as we have
hitherto shown, the real significance of
the Greeley movement is developed. 1t
is the overthrow of the Republican party
and recovery for the Southern States of
| all that can be recovered. In the North
ern States the Liberal Republicans con-
duct the campaign by denouncing the
dishonesty of the Administration. In the
| Southern States the Democrats declare
that in Mr.. Greeley's election "there is a
gleam of hope" for the overthrow OF
equal suffrage. He must be very fool
| ish or a very angry man who sees in such
situation hope for greater prosperity
and truer harmony.
1t was natural that the course of the
campaign should be just what it has
been. At the close of every Administra-
tion there is always great disappointment,
and discomfort of all kinds, honest and
dishonest. 1t CHANGED, moreover, that
at this time there were three or four Re
publican leaders who were alienated from
the Executive. The Republican discon
tent and the Democratic desperation offer
ed an opportunity for bold stroke. The
cry of reform, always attractive, was
loudly raised, and the Cincinnati Conven
ton met. Some of its supporters, in {
kind of ecstasy, supposed that the idea
hour of politics had arrived. But wheI
the rosy cloud vanished, the situation
was clear and the alternative simple, fol
it was merely question of Democraci'
restoration. Forced to a decision, tn,

A NEW DEPARTURE IN MEDICINE
There are new departures" in medicine,
as well as in politics. The latest and
most successful of these is the bold move
ment of DIR. Joseph Walker, of Califor-
mia, who has actually had the effrontery
to produce Vegetable Tonic and Restor-
ative, without any alcoholic basis, which
is curing disorders of the stomach, liver,
bowels, nerves and pulmonary organs,
with rapidity that fairly entities him to
the anathemas of the Old School of Ply
sicians, and the praise and confidence of
of the Newl His CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
BITTERs mny be safely pronounced the
most popular remedy of the age. When
it is considered that this now famous
specific was introduced some two years
ago, its present sale, which is at the rate
of 5000, 900 bottles per annum, can only
be ascribed to its intrinsic merits. 1t is
believed that the history of ''patent med
icines" affords no example of a success so
rapid and complete. The community in
sists that this success is thoroughly de-
served, and we have no inclination to dis
pute its dictum. The Voice of the Peo-
pie, if not exactly that of Omnipotence, is
generally the voice of Common Sense,
and as they have had ample time to take
sober second-thought on the subject, it
may be assumed that, in this instance,
their opinion is creditable to their sagac-
ity
