sAyETHE SKINS.

The skin of an animal, whether COW
calf, colt or horse, that dies on the farm,
is worth more at home than at the tan
ner's. Cut 1t into narrow strips and
shave off the hair with sharp knife be-
fore the kitchen Ere, or in your work
shop on stormy days and evenings. You
may make them soft by rubbing. A
rawhide halter strap, an inch wide, will
hold horse better and longer than an
inch rope. 1t is stronger than hcop-iron,
and more durable, and may be used to
hoop dry casks and boxes, and for max
ing hinges. Try it on broken thiIl, or
on any woodwork that has been split.
Put it on wet and nail it fast a. raw
hide rope is . good substitute for
chain.

A DENIAL.

We are authorized to deny the
report that Mr.. Greeley was paid
by the National Republican Exc
cutive Committee for the stump
speeches be has beer making.
The report probably hxd its or
igin in the remarks Of one OF the
members of the committee, who
was heard to say that "they would
not pay Mr.. Greeley as long as the
Libera! party had the funs to do it,
bat in ease they should run out,
rather than lose his valuable SER
vices, the committee would agree
to pay him the remainder OF the
season" It is generally conceded
that Mr.. Greeley has been the
most effective stump speaker for
Grant and the Republican party
yet in the field. This is q gratuit-
Gus puff for Horace.

NEW FASHIONED EEL POT.

A, very worthy fisherman by the
name of Grizzel was drowned some
time SINCE, and all search for his
body proved unarailing. After it
had been in the water some months,
it was discovered floating on the
surface of the water, and taken to
shore, whereupon Mr.. Smith was
dispatched to convey the intelli-
gence to the afflicted widow.
"Well, Mrs, Grizzle, we have
found Mr. Grizzlies body"
"You don't say so2"
Eyes We haye-the jury hav set
on it and fouad il full OF eels."
You don't say Mr.. Grizzlies
body is full of eels.''
Eyes, it is, aad We want to knew
what you will have done with it."
"Wby. how many eels do you
think there is in him?"
20, about a bushel."
"Well,, then, I think you had bet
ter send the eels up to the house
and set hfm again."
Exit Mr.. Smith, Mr.. Grizzle
was buried the uext day without
ceremony.

NEW KU-KLUX ORDER.

A Washington dispatch of the
25th, published in the Chicago
Post, says:
Officers who were sent to the
Southern States by the Department
Of Justice, to examine into the con-
duct of affairs, and to detect any
organized attempts to violate the
revenue laws and the enforcement
act, have submitted voluminous
reports to the Attorney General,
by which it appears that the Ku-
Klux order is giving away to new
organization, similar in many re-
spects, but having a different way
Of accomplishing the same end.--
This new organization is spreading
rapidly through oil the Southern
States, and is intended to be made
very effective during the present
Presidential campaign for the
Greeley ticket, by intimidating g
voters in localities where the Re-
publican element is not in the
ascendency. The order has estab-
Iished lodge in nearly every coun-
ty in Mississippi, Alsbama and
Georgia and is rapidly extending
itself 10 other States.
Several officers Of the govern
Eent, by Disgusting themselves,
succeeded in getting initiated into
the order and observed fully is
workings, and are therefore ena-
bled to take steps 10 prevent it's
plans from being successfully car
ried out. In Mississippi, twenty
two arrests have been made of per-
sons for intim!dating voters, and
at . court just held all were con-
victed.

The Printers Estate.

We find The following remarks in an
exchange which all printers and pub
fishers will agree in calling sensible, and
commend them to the attention Of ouf.
readers. They will apply il al new To-
calities in which newspapers circulate :
The printers dollars-whsfs arc they2
A dollar here and dollar there scatter
ed-scattered over the numerous small
towns, all over the country, miles aud
miles apart; how shall they BE- gathered
together? The paper-maker, the journey
man compositor, the building owner, the
grocer, the tailor, an oil assistants to
him in carrying on his business have
their demands, hardly ever 20 small as
single dollar. But the mites from here
and there must bc diligently gathered
and patiently boarded, or the wherewith
to discharge the liabilities will never be
sufficiently bulky. We imagine the prin-
ter will have to get up an address to his
widely scattered dollars something like
the following:
"Dollars, halves, quarters, dimes, and
sll manner Of fractions into which you
are divided, collect, yourselves and come
home. You are wanted. Combinations
OF all sorts OF men that help to make
the printer proprietor gather in such
force and demand with such good reasons
your appearance at this counter, that
nothing short of you will appease them.
Collect yourselves, for valuatle as you
are you will never pay the cost Of collect
ing. Come here in single file, that the
printer may form you in battalion, and
send you forth again to battle Tor him
and vindicate his feeble credit"
Reader, are you sure you haven't .
couple Of the printers's dollars sticking
about your clothes? fyou have, order
them home Immediately.

How the Wife Felt

A man, at whose house I was
guest, told me he had been O hard
drinker and a cruel husband; had
beaten his poor wife till she almost
become used to it. ssBut," said he,
'the very moment I signed tho
pledge I thought Of my wife-what
will my wife say to this2 Strange
that I should think Of my wife the
first thing, but did; and as I was
going home, ! said to myself: Nov,
if go home and toll her oil Of a

will up and do som ething; and I

Only think of it; why, the night

just as like az not, il she hadn't

planning to break good news to
her, for fear it would upset her."

What he told, he found his wife sit

him. As he came into the house, he
said:

"Well, Ned, what is it?'
"Why, I think I shall-that ia

'Yes," said he, s'the matters just
this; l have signed the temperance

keep it,"
She started TO her feet, and she
did faint away. I was just In time
to catch her; and as she lay in my

Greeley on Grant.

The leading reformers may we'll
tremble over the speech-making
tour of Mr.. Greeley, Their stock
in trade has been vile abuse of
General Grant. The Philosopher
ia his travels thus rebukes them
in his Dayton speech:
Fellow-citizens of Ohio, since
the day I left home l have made
a great many little speeches like
this, but no man has heard from
me one word implying disrespect
and disparagemcnt for that emf
nent citizen and public servant, the
President of the Uuited States. No
-ord from me has thrown dispar-
agement on his public services or
dishonor on his high Office.
This looks very much like u re-
turn to common sense on the part
of Mr.. Greeley. If he had gone a
little further, and repudiated the
men who are engineering his move
ments on the White House, he
might have lost their valuable ser.
vices, but he would have regaiDed
some Of the respect which he has
lost. The speakers who deal in
slander and abuse are the agents
of Mr.. Greeley. He may refrain
from indulging in slander himself,
but as long as he permits his agents
to continue the practice without
protest from him. he is morally re-
sponsible forxtheir conduct. But
we ought not to be exacting. Gree
ley has made a good beginning; let
him Keep it up. dispose Of his lead
ing interest in the Tribune, which
has recently become a mouth-piece
of Liberal filth, or cause the dis
missal of the "underdone' young
man who edits its columns repu-
diate Trumbull, Schurz, and the
slaaderers who esponse his cause.
and try between now and Novem-
Der, to do justice to "that eminent
citizen and public servant" whose
public and private character has
been DETAINED by the paid agents
in his employ.

He took the male bovine by the horns.
Gen. Grant, in some eminent
respects, has shown himself as
much superior in civil as in mil
itary affairs. He has promptly
taken positions aad assumed re-
sponsibilities which no mere
politician, Of the ordinary run
of our statesmen, would have
dared to do. Take for instance
his direct announcement in his
inaugural address in favor of Ne
gro Suffrage. The party which
elected him, had lodged the
question in its platform. What
other men, outside of the pro-
nounced Radicals, but would
have followed that example as
President, and lodged, or at
least postponed a declaration on
the subject? But not so with
Grant. An old-time Democrat
before the war, he at once de-
monstrated the soundness Of his
conversion, the frank heroism Of
his nature, as well as the. high
est craftsmanship, by taking the
bull by the horns.
