MT. Editor For the first

the BOSsier Democracy seem to
have met with some attention
from the press Of the State :;
and therefore it would be well
to inform the public what sch
tlmentS were really entertained
by orr late convention.
The resolution to sever con-
nectiOn with the Democratic
party seemed to have had but
one real supporter. Possibly a
few others, besides its mover,
might have voted for it under
the impression that its adop-
ton might benefit the great
movement in opposition to
Grant.
The resolution indicating a
platform of principles was ia
vored almost universally, as
according with the sentiments
of the Convention; but it was
successfully and, as the writer
thinks, strangely opposed on
the grounds that it was prema-
ture and coming from a body
that ought not to enunciate
principles. Its connection also
with the "flSion" resolution
had much to do with its defeat.

for itself as it goes. The inventor believes
that it will revolutionize the whole wagon
business. Experiments have been made
with one roughly constructed, only four
feet in diameter, which was freighted with
1890 pounds of iron and seven men on
the outside, which was carried easily over
level roads by one horse The tracks
were rough and the entire model imper-
feet, but the experiment greatly encour-
aged the inventor, who has applied for
patent and will have a working model on
exhibition at the State fair. The trouble
so far has been to give the thing a name
which will be descriptive of its construc-
ton and use. Many have been suggested.
Among them revolving sled," barrel
railroad" cylindrical wagon" "drum
COACH" "roller portage" and the one
used by us, road cylinder" Like all
inventors, "Billy" is laughed at for the
quaint novelty of his invention, and the

laugh for final chuckle. -Sacranaento

How to Save Onion Tops.

The top onions should be gathered as
soon as they are ripe. They are ripe
when the top falls down and becomes
wilted. When you cut off the top from
the onion, if the juice starts in little drops
the onion was not ripe, and would have
grown more. If they are suffered to
stand long after they are ripe they will
begin to grow again, burst open and di-
vide. New roots will start out and on
pulling the onion will cling. These roots
are sapping the onion, which, together
with new top, will spoil the plant. If
you should cook such an onion you would
say it is strong, dry and tough. Whereas,
if gathered at the right time, they are
juicy, sweet and tender. would rather
gather them in a dry day and carry them
into chamber, where they should lie
until cold weather, when they should be
removed to the cellar, and laid in a cool
but dry place. If they lie on the ground
they will acquire moisture and spoil.
The top onion seed should also be
spread in a dry place until freezing
W, ather is coming. Then they should be
put in bags and hung in cool, dry part
of the cellar. We have already COM
menced gathering, and have laid up about
forty bushels, some of the ground yield
ing at the rate of seven hundred bushels
to the acre. A neighbor of mine this
year raised at the rate of eight hundred
bushels to the acre, and many one of
them measured more than foot in cir
conference. His rows on the bed were
onefoot apart. He might just as well
have added one row to every two without
any injury to their growth.
It should be borne in mind by those
who would raise this vegetable, that the
two reasons for raising the top onions are,
first, that they almost always escape mag
gots, and they should be set out early.

What Constitutes a Gentleman ?

'sHALLoo! you man with pail and
frock, " said British officer, ashe brought
his fiery horse to stand in front of Gov
Chittenden's dwelling, 'can you inform
me whether His Honor, the Governor of
Vermont, resides here?'
"He does" was the response of the
man, still vending his way to the pig
sty..
els His Honor at homer" continued
the man of spurs.
"Most certainly" replied the man of
the frock.
"Take my horse by the bit then" said
the officer, 81 have business to transact
with your master"
Without second bidding the man did
as requested, and the officer having
alighted, made his way to the door, and
gave the panel several hearty raps with
his whip; for, be it known, in those days
of republican simplicity, knockers and
bells, like servants, were in but little
use
The good dame answered the summons,
and having seated the officer, and ascer-
tanned his desire to see the Governor, she
departed to inform her husband of the
guests arrival; but on ascertainining that
the officer had made hitching post of
her husband, she returned and informed
him that the Governor was engaged in
the yard, and could not very well wait
upon him and his horse at the same time.
The predicament of the officer can be
better imagined than described.

SteWed or Fried.

DICK G. was incorrigible. He was a
hummer, and no discipline could make
him anything else. At time when the
soldiers considered it wrong to steal a
chicken, Dick confseated them with a
flourish. He would do this with impu-
nifty, although he was frequently punished
for leaving the ranks. On one occasion
he entered yard, ostensibly to get some
water While at the well he Missed the
farmers dog on the chickens. AS the
agitated mistress of the house came to the
door, Dick, in pursuit of dog and chicken,
was close upon fine fowl. 1t fiuttered
toward the door, and the woman caught
it. Dick reached out his hands and tax
ing it from her, said coolly and with a
bow, "Thank you, thank you" AS the
colonel Numbered out, 'Take that chicken
back, sir" Dick said, ''She gave it to me,
sir-said [ was welcome to take task
her if she didn't" and the poor, bewilder-
ed woman could not say no."
The next day Dick was notified that if
he fell out of ranks he would be punished
at night sure. He kept up well until
noon. Then, giving one of the boys his
gun, he slipped out for a moment, but he

gracefully on the back seat, and as he
passed, lifted his hat and made most
elaborate bow to the captain and COM
pany.
When the regiment went into quarters
for the night, they found Dick with fire
made, and chicken, potatoes, etc., cook
ing. The Captain sent for him and order
ed him tied hand and foot. Dick came
limping up, dressed chicken in hand.

is) ready to cook. Will you have it stewed
or fried, Captain?"
Hang the chicken! I was talking
about you," roared the captain. "After
all my cautions and threats you dropped

''But lordy, Cap, was into camp afore
you was" responded Dick. "Will you
have the chicken stewed or fried, Cap?"
and Dick showed the Captain what
beauty it was.
The officer glared at him moment and
then snapped out, "FTied, curse it!'' And
Dick served the chicken in triumph, and
escaped all punishment, as he always did.

Wonderful Invention of California
Blacksmith.

w. M. BERNARD, blacksmith, has invent
ed, discovered or constructed a road evil
inder, which is designed to convey freight
or passengers. 1t consists of drum open
at both ends, supposed to be from four to
sixteen feet in diameter according to the
size of the machinel, and from four to
seven feet in length. Inside of this wooden
cylinder three groved tracks of steel, one
inch by three-eights, are laid. This COM
pletes the description of the shell, which
in prospective looks like wine vat lying
on its side. Within this isplaced another
cylinder closed at the ends, and upon the
outside of which are three tracks of iron
conforming to the three within the other
cylinder To the centers of this inner
cylinder the shafts are attached. The
freight is placed in the inner cylinder,
and the machine is ready to go. The
force required to move it is just equal to
the force that would be required to slide
the inner cylinder on three rails well
oiled.

Romance at a Watering Place.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Boston IT0O-
eller, at Newport, overheard the following
conversation: 'No, Harry, dear, we
must part. I think it is awful cruel of
pa, but you know he never encouraged
you. He says you are nice enough, but
that q young man nowadays must be able
to support wife in the style to which
she has been accustomed and that you
know you could not do, dear. So must
give you up. That Gus Evans I fairly
hate, with his little, swapping eyes, and
his bristly, ugly little moustache-ugh! but
he has a lovely pony phaeton, which is all
at my service, and diamond big as a
walnut on his shirt-bosom, and pa says
he has lots of money and owns real estate
and railroad stocks, and / don't know
what else, and he says must be civil to
him and marry him if he asks me; and I
know he will, for the other night he got
right into the point and was just ready to
ask the all-important question, when pa
dropped in to look for his paper, and that
ended it for the time"
"But don't you love me?" the young,
manly fellow at her side asked with a
twinge and tremOr in his voice; "you
know you have given me cause for think
ing so, and hoping"
"Why, yes, of course do. How silly
Love you you know love you, and it is
really too bad that I can't have my way,
and marry you instead of GINS. Pa might
support us as well as not, but he won't,
and you know never can exist without
the comforts have always had. I must
have my dresses and my diamonds, my
horses and my parties, and move in the
same circle of society as / do now, and
those things you know you could never
give me. No, Harry, dear. shall always
love you, and you won't be vexed, will
you? But it is better that we should
part, and you won't try to see me much,
will you, till after Pm married %
"Vexed, oh, no ! not at you. But let
us go in, and then TIL say good-by to you
and my hopes together"
His voice was hard, and strove to be
cool and unconcerned, but it trembled a
little. and his face was very white as they
passed me. But her smile was as sweet
and self-satisfied and her eye as clear as
though she had not wrecked a young
mans happiness, and thrown him aside
for brainless jumping jack with money,
and as though her life was not to be a
vapid, tiresome round of fashionable
emptiness, with none of love or useful
ness to sweeten it.

Some novel mechanical arrangements
for the transmission of messages from
one floor to another, and from one to an
other part of the same floor at the great
central telegraph Office in London are
described in the London Times. These
consist in connecting the check tables and
the different floors by endless bands, kept
in motion by the steam engine that is used
to exhaust the pneumatic carrying tubes.
The bands are of tape or thin webbing
running over small wheels at each ex-
tremity of their course, as well as at
every angle that they turn; and four
bands are used Tor each track of what may
be called the message tramway. Be-
tween tables liz the same room the course
of the messages may be traced. The
tapes at first rise vertically to sufficient
height to be clear of the traffic below,
then cross the room horizontally, and de-
scend on arriving at their destination.
A message slipped between the wheels at
one side is instantly carried away and
rapidly delivered at the other. From
floor to floor the bands pass down shafts,
or through covered ways; and at every
terminus there is lever by which any sci
can be stopped without disturbing the
rest.

MEDICAL GUEsswoRK.-The profess
sional treatment of disease is in great
measure experimental If one medicine
fails another is tried, and sometimes this
hit-or-miss practice is pursued until the
resources of the faculty is exhausted.
This, in the truest sense of the word, is
enapia1clsm. But when the physician has
made a valuable discovery, he is called
by his professional brethren are Enapiric,
because he advertises the result of his
labor and research. When DR.. Walker
of California introduced his celebrated
VINEGAR BITTERs as remedy for all
blood diseases, he struck a tremendous
blow at the empirical system, as applied in
our hospitals, and in private practice.
1t was soon apparent that his
medicine was not mere palliative or
alternative that only modified the Synap-
toms of disorder; but that it reached the
very source of the malay in the blood and
the secretions, and literally rooted 1t out.
The process of renovation and disinfec-
ton went on together, vigor was impaired
to the organs from which the virus of
disease had been expelled. That such is
the effect Of this popular vegetable
remedy, no one who has had opportuni-
ties of observing its operation in cases of
liver complaint, indigestion, affections of
the bowels, govt, rheumatism, and
pulmonary disorders, can possibly doubt.
