English Ivy.

The use Of English ivies for the
use of decorating living rooms is
more extensive every year, and can
not be to highly recommended. Be-
ing very strong they will live
through almost any treatment; but
study their peculiarIties and mani
fest willingness to crafty them
and they will grow without stint.
Most houses are too hot for them, as
indeed they are for their owners.
Neither plants nor people should
have the average temperature over
sixty.five degrees Fahrenheit. Take
care and not enfeeble your ivies by
undue heat or excessive watering,
and you will find that they will seem
to mind whether the sun shines on
them or not, or in what position or
direction You train them. Indeed,
so much will they do of themselves
to render room charming, that we
would rather have an unlimited
number Of them to draw upon than
anything else in nature or art
Do you wish the ugly plain doors
that shut off your tiny entry from
your parlor to be arched and curved,
like those in the drawing rooms of
your rich neighbors ? Buy couple
of brackets such as lamps for the
burning of kerosene are sometimes
placed 10, and screw them on to the
sides of the door. Put in each a
plant of English ivy, the longer the
better; then train the plants over the
top, aginst the sides, indeed any way
your fancy dictates. You need not
buy the costly pots the flower deal
ers viii advise, common glazed ones
will answer every purpose, for by
placing in each tive or three srays
of Coliseum ivy, in months time
no vestige of the pot itself can be
discerned through their thick screen

Then and Now.

Last fall Horace Greeley drafted
and sent to the Republican State
Convention Of New York the follow
ing resolutions for its adoption
In this alarming crisis in city and State az
fairs the Republican party refers all good cit
liens to lis record as their warrant for giving
in their fullest confidence and support in this
campaign, now formally opening, of the hon
est men against the thieves.
II abolished slavery.
1t led in the suppression Of the rebellion.
II preserved aud enlarged the Union.
1t promptly reduced the enormous forces
thus required 10 peace footing.
II has reduced the debt over $250,000 ,0o0
in the last three years.
1t has simultaneously reduced public taxa
ton over two hundred and fifty millions of
dollars per annum.
II has preserved peace on the border.
1t has won friendly adjustment of the
threatened troubles with Great Britain.
FoR THE CONSPICUOUS SHARE IN THIS BEN
EFFICIENT RECORD WE ENDORSE THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION.
At this time Horace Greeley had
no idea of the Presidency, nor had
be identified himself with the gang
of plunderers who, under the lead OF
Fenton aimed to control the entire
patronage ofthe Government in New
York. Ambition and greed convert
ed this euIogist of the party into its
villifier.

WIN Greeley Respond !?

Horace Greeley is requested to
come out Of the tall grass with those
Binghamton letters ia his hand
The Binghamton New York; Re-
publican once more calls for
the publication of the letters between
Greeley and Mr.. Seymour relating
to the Democratic nomination for
the Presidency, which, it says, have
now been a mouth in the hands Of
Mr.. Gteeley's friends,--it thinks in
the keeping Of Mr.. Waldo Hutchins.
The Republican says:
1T now becomes our duty to say
as Mr.. Greeley has so far declined to
say it-that the letters contain di-
rect and undeniable evidence of ev-
cry essential stage of the coalition
which has been charged by this jour
nal The proof is in our hands, and
We shall submit it to the public in
the time and way most likely to be
effective in the interests of truth,
good faith and good principles. We
have re-eXamined and re- tested the
whole case; with more facts, we re-
affirm all the original charges; we
find that in every respect that our
own charges are true, our proofs
were all correct, save that in one
matter, not charged by US, witness
was possibly wrong as to form. but
right, we believe in substance"

What He Wrote one Year ago.

We commend to the honest Gree
ley Republicans of this State the
words of Mr.. Greeley, one year ago,
In which be sums up, in his forcible
style, the reasons why all Union low
ing citizens should give their vote to
General Grant in preference to "any
candidate whom the Democrats may
nominate" The article from which
the extract is made is ia the Tribune
of August Is, 1871, and is just as
truthful to-day as then:
"The personal views of Mr.. Gree
ley are exactly these. He favors the
one term principle, and believes that
another Republican candidate can DO
selected who will encounter less op-
position and win more support than
General Grant; and he therefore adj
vocates such selection. But should
his views be Overruled, and General
Grant nominated, he holds his elect
ion infinitely preferable to that of
any candidate whom the Democrats
may nominate; for Democratic tri.
umph Involves the return to power
of the great mass of those who for
years plotted the disruption of the
Union, and at length forced the
Southern States into secession and
rebellion. A Democratic
triumph involves the ascendency of
those who hate the nations creditors,
because their money powerfully con-
tributed to the overthrow of the re-
bellion, and will find a way to cheat
them, if possible. A Democratic tri-
umph involves the subvervsion of
protection of home industry with
repetition of the widespread disasters
and distresses which have repeated
ly and naturally followed such over
throw. The personal views of Mr.,
Greeley" lead him to deprecate
Democratic national triumph as one
of the gravest national calamities."

Straight Democracy.

The Prairie du Chen Courier runs
up the democratic flag with Charles
O'Connor and j. Proctor Knott for
President and Vice President inscrib-
ed thereon. la speaking of the
Louisville Convention the Courier
says: "And if, as now seems likely,
this Convention shonld nominate
Hon. Charles o. Conner, of New York,
on the "Free Trade" platform, his ma
tional reputation for ability and inte-
gritty, with the excitement 1t Will
create, will sweep over the country
like a whirlwind, and Democrats will
blush to own that they ever thought
it possible to vote for Horace
Greeley"
In reply to a correspondent the
Courier says:
We claim to publish straight, con-
sistent, true Democratic journal, and
the files of our paper prove it is such.
If we now refuse to support or vote
for Greeley, we give as reason that
he ia not Democrat, never was,
never can be, and is q worse enemy
to our government than any rebel
who ever lived. We would much
rather vote for JEFF. Davis.
You have an equal right to vote
for Horace Greeley if you choose.
But you cannot vote for him as q
Democrat; and you cannot give one
good reason, based on truth and
sound Democracy, why any Democ-
rat should advocate his election.

The Sentiment of Germany.


The Berlin Provincial Correspond
ence, Bismarck's special organ, in q
leader upon our Presidential canvass,
says :
1--WE deeply regret to observe that
q number of politicians and newspa.
pers in the United States are unscru-
pulous enough to create prejudice
against General Grant among the
German voters of that Republic, on
account of his bearing during our
war with France. We have often
said, aad here repeat it again: This
Government can find no fault with
the course of President Grant. On
the contrary, be has given us many
proofs of his earnest sympathy with
us in the success of cur cause,

Disclosures by the Rebel Archives.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. Gin
the examination of the rebel archives,
now in possession of the Govern
ment, several documents have been
found which establish beyond a
doubt the fact that ex-senator Buck
alew, of Pennsylvania, was in cores
pondenee with the rebel authorities
d uring the rebellion, with view to
organize q determined resistance to
further drafts in the North for men
to help crush the rebellion. Mr.
Buckalew seems to have been engag.
ed in plot, together with other
prominent Northern Democrats, now
active Greeley men, to help the Cons
federate cause by preventing Presi-
dent Lincoln from raising the troops
desired. Several documents refer to
certain letters received by the Con.
federate authorities from Mr.. Buck
alew in relation TO this scheme, and
active search is now being made
among the archives for these letters,
and il is believed they will be found

49, The Hon. Henry NJ. Rice, of
Minnesota, Democratic United States
Senator from that state from 1857 to
1868 has declared his intention to
support Grant and Wilson. Mr..
Rice recently assured Cleveland
gentleman thst be took this ground
not at all as a politician, but purely
as business matter. = He declared
that be had no confidence in Mr..
GreeIey's financial ability; that the
attempt to carry out Greeley's crazy
theory of violent resumption of
specie payment would be utterly dis
astrous to the material interests OF
the country, and that, if only to pro-
tect his own property and business,
he was constrained to oppose Gree
ley's election. On the contrary,
Grants administration of the financ-
es has been wise, safe and successful,
and the country demands that the
same policy be conducted for another
term

&C. How sick the Greeleyites are OF
Hon. Alexander Graham, the author
of the temperance bill, No. z. A. He
is red hot for Horace The secret
Of his joining the Greeleyites has
never yet been told. He did not
cast his lot with that crowd until
they called GA Gratz Brown to get
off from the ticket on account of his
drunkenness. Graham thinks Crate
will resign or be kicked off, then
who will there be to put on who is
such relentless foe of brandy, whis-
ky, wine, lager beer, soft she'll crabs,
and everything but the smallest kind
of small beer, as Alexander Graham
is? But Gratz won't resign, and
Alexander will find himself out in
the cold State Journal.

eyon the train coming south

EEOn the train coming south on
the Northern Division of the NJ. X
st. P. II. r. the other day, 3
dispute arose between Republican
and Greeleyite, and bet was made
as TO which of the political parties
had the larger number of friends on
the train. A vote, carefully taken,
showed 80 for Grant and 10 for
Greeley. But the distinctive feature
of the vote was the verifcation of
Mr. Greeley's assertion that all horse
thieves are Democrats. Two of
these choice characters were on bosrd
in charge of the sheriff, and sure
enough both voted for Greeley.

PROM TUE GERMAN OF woLFGANG MILLER.
There was once Count so I've heard il said -
Who felt that his end drew near;
And he called his sons before b Is bed
To part them his goods and gear.
He called for his pillow, he called for his sword,
That gallant good and brave;
They brought them both at their fathers word
Aud thus he his blessings gave:
"My frst-born son, my pride and might
Do thou my sword retain;
My castle on the lordIy height
Aud all my broad domain.
"Cn thee, my well.loved younger boy,
My plough here bestow,
peaceful life shalt thou enjoy,
In the quiet vale below.
Contented sank the sire to rest,
Now all was given away;
The sons held true his last behest,
Zen on their dying day.
"Now tell what came of the steel OF fame
OF the castle and its XII ght
And tell us what came of the vale so tame,
And the humble peasant wight3"
o ask not of me what the end may be
Ask of the country roundl
The castle IS dust, the sword Is rust,
The height IL but desert grou 3D.
But the vale spreads wide in the golden pri lie
OF the autumn sunlight now;
1t teens and il ripens far aud wide,
And the honor abides with the plough.

Comparative Cost of the Narrow and
Broad Gauge Railroads.

Chief Engineer Osborne, of the
Western Maryland railroad, in his
report upon the feasibility of chang
ing the gauge OF that line to three
feet-double track-makes the fol-
lowing estimates of the cost per mile
of double tracks of each gauge, built
through bold Typographical coun-
try, where the engineer is put to the
test to find line that will afford him
maximum gradients of forty feet per
mile, with given minimum of ra-
dius for curvature, and where he
may be compelled to adopt in an ex-
treme case grade of eighty feet per
mile.

COST OF A MILE OF DOUBLE TRACK ROAD.
4 It, 50 in. Gauge. feet Gauge.

Difference, $2l ,O00 per mile,
The above estimate of the three
feet gauge road largely exceeds the
proportion given by other engineers,
some of whom have derived their
figures from actual surveys, plans
and profles. 1t is therefor submits
ted as safe and reliable comparison.
The above being the case we find
that by constructing three-feet
gauge road in place of the standard
there will be saving on one hum
dred miles of double track road of
50, 100000. Now,let Us suppose that
Sc, 920, 900 has been raised to build
this one hundred miles of road of
the standard gauge. There would
in such case, be left in the treaurer's
hands, after the completion of the
three.feet gauge, the above amount
OF 81, 10000. Compound the sum
at Z per cent, and in ten and half
years the hundred miles of new
three-feet would stand debtor on the
company's books for only 100000,
or at cost to its proprietors ofS6,-
200 per mile. :.
Here is one illustration of the adj
vantage gained by building a three>
feet gsuge in place of the standard.
The illustration will be appreciated
when it is remembered that the result
is gained after adding about eighteen
per cent, to the cost Of the narroW road
as given by good authorities. But
let US assume now that in ten and a
half years but one-half, instead of six
sevenths, of the capital be repaid.
The promise is still so rich, even
with all the margin given for safety,
that we cannot but be convinced
that, as TO first cost, at all events,
the three-fcet gauge is preferable.
