Democrats I!

If Grant triumphs, you will be hooted at,
ridiculed, prosecuted and despised. Can
you doubt this when you read the assaults
of the Radical leaders against you as
8 Rebels" and rs the authors of all polit-
zeal villainy-as the accursed ones of par
ty, in fact?
Ii Grant triumphs, you will have no
part or lot in his administration, simply
because you are Democrats. No matter
how good or eminent. Grant will not
touch one representative man among you.
You will be spurned from his Cabinet,
and from every representative position
over which Grant. Morton and Cameron
have any control. Your organization,
now the controlling force in this fight,
will then be tramplcd on and kicked
about by Grants rioters like Il football.
Do you doubt this, when YOU see how
Grant has prescribed you, how Congress
hustles every Democrat out of II contested
seat in that body, whether it be right or
wrOngf
How long is it since you have fallen in
love with Grant? Remember. that not to
vote, is vote for Grant.-Erchange.

Alert Boutwell,.

Secretary Boutwell, is counting his
chickens most alertly in the Treasury
Department, and sees his way clear
already to a very large basketful of eggs.
Washington dispatches announce that the
Secretary, confidently anticipating anew
lease of power, is preparing to reward the
devotion of his clique of friends in Wall
street by giving them the control of grand
scheme for funding the debt at from four
to four and a half per cent, with the
necessary machinery for coercing the ma
tional banks, and, which is the essential
point, with provisions to be made by Con-
gressional legislation for more remuner-
alive percentage in the way of commits
sions to the 'ssyndicates'' in London and
New York. The skill of Mr.. Clews in in
ducinga large number of Wall street men
and merchants to indorse in advance this

him and his s'ring" of his friends to put
in operation through Mr.. Boutwell, de-

the cordial applause of his associates in

SMALLPOX and its AntidOtc.

Now that this terrible complaint is travers-
well for people to be on their guard and pre-
pare for it in time so that they may not be
taken unawares and become victims, when.
by little precalltion. they might be spared
the affection. Its rayages in some places
have been frightful and nothing that can be
done to avert it ought to be neglected. The
best mode to prevent it is to get vaccinated
and prepare the system by free use of

Steam PlOughing.

1t is singular fact. that with all the
practical progressive ingenuity to which,
as a nation we are justly entitled. we are
behind old Egypt in availing ourselves of
the very important advantages of steam
ploughing. In the cultivation of large
tracts of land steam ploughing is I'M
doubtedly more efficient, as well as eco
nomical, than the present system. Our
English cousins fully appreciate this.
There are in England several different es-
adjustments employing over twelve hum
lred men each in the manufacture of steam
plOughs. The plan found to work best
in Great Britain, is to have organized
companies who hire out their steam ma
chimes and do the work by contract, and
it is said that more than five hundred
steam ploughs are thus held for hire. The
success of the experiment is proved
by its working on a tract of five hundred
acres near London. So poor was this
land deemed that it would not bring
rent of three dollars per acre, but after be-
ing ploughed by steam it brought clear
profit of 900 on grain crops. Scotland
also finds no difficulty in making steam
mechanical force meets with general APP
| proval, while further in the East the Pacha
| of Egypt employs four hundred of these
| ploughs.
In those countries the lands are old,
and thoroughly freed from all Obstruc-
| tons. which may account 1Or the more
extensive use of steam ploughs. Then,
again, the land being held in immense
estates, the proprietor are able to pur-
chase and use them with great economy,
| when their eXpensiveness would preclude
small landowners from the possibility OF
availing themselves of their advantages.
But our Western prairies are naturally
level and free from Instructions, and there
seems to be no existing reason for their
not being ploughed by steam other than
the reason which causes the Turk OF
Asia Minor and the Greaser of Mexico,
| to-day. to use a wooden plough instead of
an iron one--tO wit, thIiftless ignorance.
The use of the steam plough is no longer
an experiment, as the above English sta
tiStics prove. 1t but remains. therefore,
for our Western farmers to club together
and purchase them, using them first for
themselves, and then doing their neigh
bors' ploughing by contract. making
money by the operation. If the MEM
bers ola new colony, for instance, would
combine and purchase one of these
ploughs. it would do more plOughing in a
| single day. than all the men together,
leaving the laborers free to perfect all the
other details necessary to establish them
selves; or private individuals might pur-
chase them and plough by contract, as it
is done in many instances, with reapers
and mowers, and almost universally with
threshing machines.-IHe Free Lance.

JUST TAKEN HIS BiTTERs.-We heard
seedy-looking individual with an alarm
ingly red nose remark to brother sOaker
that he had - just had his bitters, but he
did not mind taking another nip" His
remark suggested a train of reflection.
How was it, we asked ourselves, that the
word ''bitters'' had grown to be a
synonym for gin, whisky, rum. and 9TH
er alcoholic stimulants, to which it was
applied indscriminately. Bitters, we rea-
soned, suggested the idea of heaithful
tonic, not of Il poisonous stimulant; some
thing invigorating to the system, not an
alcoholic irritant. full of fusel oil, produc-
ing present intoXication and ultimate i'll

over, our idea of bitters was totally ire
concilable with 8 gin-cOcktails,' :. rum

we are informed. are swcetened with SUI
gar, and rendered doubly injurious with
