TaE Chicago Times, the lead

THE Chicago Times. the lead
ing Democratic organ OF the
Northwest, takes the ground
that the nomination of Greeley
at Baltimore Convention is q
foregone conclusion, and thai
the result is due to the manip.
ulatiOns of place hunters and
wire-pullers, who have effectu-
flly packed the Baltimore Con
vention for Greeley.
"Such being the outlook" the
Times says, "the nomination OF
Mr.. Greeley at Baltimore will
terminate the organic exist
ence of the Democratic party.
In that act the party organiza-
ton will abdlcate its functions,
and, of course, with such abdi-
cation the idea of party allegi.
ance will cease; for there is no
such thing as party allegiance
to men, to candidates, or to a
Convention. Such allegiance
is due only to principles. Par
ty organizations are nothing
but instrumentalities, by which
some aggregate of persons
seek to carry certain princi-
Piles into effect, When the in
strumentality ceases to act for
that purpose, or is perverted
by schemlng individuals to a
different purpose, as the nomi
nation for Office of a declared
enemy of the principles of the
party, it ceases TO exist as a
party authority.
oThe nomination or indorse
ment of Mr.. Greeley at Balti-
more, therefore, places no per
son holding Democratic princi-
Piles under the slightest obliga-
ton to cast his vote for Mr..
Greeley. 1t will be the dis
bandment of the party and the
surrender ct ali its delegated
authority to all its members,
who delegate it to be used by
each and all of them as in their
Judgment may seem proper,
thus leaving Democrats wholly
an organization, and
perfectly free to act as to each
Individual shall seem fiji.
"The enemies Of Democratic
have captured the
Democratic organization in or.
Ter to WELD it for the destruc-
ion OF the Democracy. The
nope for the latter is in the
'ormation Of a new party that
will resurrect the Democratic

MASSACHUSETTS is already
querying with whom to fill
Henry Wilson's place in the
Senate. Mr.. Dawes is likely
to be the man, and the coun-

in making a good Senator they

been in circulation in regard to
Glen. Butler was one in relation
to a certain vessel which he
bought and seld Tor the gov

which it was reported, he man

USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.

The most ancient manuscripts are
written without accents, or stops, or
separation between the words, nor
/ was it until after the ninth century
| that copyists began to leave space
I between words.
Chocolate, the flour Of the cocoa
nut, was first introduced into Eng
land from Mexico, in the year 1920,
and soon after became a tayorite
beverage in the London coffee
houses.
Among the Romansallmen of full
aye were obliged to marry, and it is
even of modern law England
which inhicts fine upon all bachc-
Iors in the kingdom Of twenty-five
years and over.
Glass bottles were made in Eng
land about l55S, but the art was
practiced among the Romans in the
year 70 A. D., as they have been
found plcntifully among the ruins Of
Pompei.
An almost ineXhaustible supply Of
richly varegatod marble has becn
discovered on the shores Of Lake
Champlain, and it is expected that
"Champlain marble" will take the
place Of the imported varieties.
There IS but little reason for
doubling that British coal was used
in small quantities in the days ofthe
Roman occupation OF the British
Isles, as it has been found amid the
romans Of Romanish civilization in
the city Of Uriconim and elsewhere.
The first record, however, dates back
to the year llS0.
1t is said that Il poultice and tea
made from the common field thistle
is almost Il certain remedy for ncu.
raIgia. The leaves are macerated
and used ON the parts afflicted as
poultice, while Il small quantity Of
4 the leaves are boiled down in pro
| portion ofa quart to " pint, and
small decoction drank before each
meal.
Some of the magnetism cemcnts
used in India are remarkably firm
and durable. They begin setting in
| two or three hours and become hard
in few days, continuing to harden
for many years, When used for
plastering, they have been found
within a fortnight to be "harder
than any stone, except granite, mar
bic, and stones of the first degree Of
hardness"

In the first place a starched and

il neatly folded after every meal, will
look well for several days. Then
flowers and ferns in fat dishes, bas-
kets, or small vasas,-or n tiny nose

The salt tmust be pure and smooth,
The butter should be moulded into
criss- eros ed diamonds, shells, or
globes, with paddles made for The
purpose.
A few pretty dishes will make the
plainest table glow,-a small bright
colored platter for pickles, horserad
ish, or Jelly; and butter-plates repre-
senting green leaves are also a.tNc-
tive.
A few pennies worth of parsely n
cress, mingled with small scraps O.

of toasted or fried bread cut into

mingled with sprlgs Of parsely and

Sothing can be more appetizing than
beef, veal, mutton, or lamb made III

ket of truit-peoches, pears, grapes

OPENING FOR YOUNG MEN.

Col. Rocket in recent able arti-
Gle in hispaper, the Memphis Ledger,
has the following well-timed advice
Oh the above subject
An old friend inthe country writes
us to inquire it there is an "openiu4
in the city for his boys, who aIe well
educated, but thoroughly disgusted
with farm Iite2' Certainly there is
an opening in this city. There are,
in fact, many openings. One can
scarcely count them. They are thick,
thriving and thorough, Ii your boys
are ambitiousto engage i'll something
useful aud Profitable, they can hard
ly find an opening at this time. June
is a trying month to business men
always, and the present June il no
exception. We must say to our old
friend that if his boys must quit farm
life, il they loM quit farm lite, if they
are fatally bent on quitting farm life,
if the shady brooks and blooming
glens, and green hills are disias.elul
to them, why then send them to this
city. There are openings here for
opening to dress in the latest style,
and walk the streets gazing at the
them of certain sort. There is an
ladies as they pass. There is an
opening to stand ON the street cor
ners and be disrespectful and impu-
dent. There is al opening al the
liquor saloons to taste the exhiliara-
ting beverage and grow merry grow
boisterous, grow mad, swear, reel,
stagger, and finally fall into the
hands of the police and 60 to the
station, house. Tho gambling houses
are always open, There is a field
where the country boy who is DISCUS
ted with country life can "get his
money back" The openings are not
to be counted. You cannot move
without stumbling against one CT
them. but remember, young man,
when you enter tho maelstrom of
city dissipations, You leave hope be-
hind. Dear old folks at home, keep
your boys at home. There are open
Jugs for them there. There is the
forest to bo howed down and fields
to be constructed. There, employ
mont is sure, and the fruits Of the
earth certain. There are counties
and States to be governed, and the
people who inhabit the county hold
the power and may. command the
honors. There is no dcgcddation in
labor, but there i' degradation in
loafng about tho streets of q city,
and ruin lies at the end Of the habit.

Origin Of Fires.

The cause Of certain fires is OK
planned by the following hypothesis
When oxide of iron rust is placed
in contact with htimber, excluded from
the atmosphere, and aided by 4
slightly increased temperature, the
oxide parts with its oxygen, and is
converted into very finely divided
particles Of metallic iron, having sucl
an affinity for oxygen that, when af-
terward exposed to the action of the
atmosphere from any cause, oxygen
is absorbed 50 rapidly that these par
ticlcs become suddenly rod-hot; and
if insufficient quantity, will produce
temperature far beyond the igni-
table point Of dry timber, Wherever
iron pipes are employed for tho cir
culation of any heated medium 9th,
er by hot water, hot air, or steam,
and wherever these pipes are ALLOW
ed to become rusty, and are also in
close contact with timber, it is only
necessary to suppose that, under
these circumstances, the Smelly di.
yidod particles of metallic iron be-
como exposed to tho action Of the
atmosphere and this may occur from
the mere expansion or contraction
Of the pipes in order to account for
many Of the fires which periodically
take place at the eommoncsuont OF
Lhe Winter Season.

After turning from the main road
up II marrow laSo, so thickly shaded
with forest trees as to give it a com
plete air Of ssclu'ion, we came in

enough in its appearance for the
most pastoral poet; and yet it had 4

had overrun one end with a profus-
ion of foliage; a few trees threw their
branches gracefully over it; and l
observed several pots of flowers taste
fully disposed about the door, and
on the 9rass-plat in front. A small
wlckot-gato opened upon a footpath
that wound through some shrubbery
to the door. Just as we approached
we heard the sound OF music-Leslie
grasped my arm; we paused and
listened. 1t was Mary's voice sing
ing, i'll style Of the most touching
simplicity, little air of which her
husband was peculiarly fond.

noise on the gravel walt, A bright
beautiful face cleaned ont at the
window and yanished--a light foot

tripping forth to meet us: she was IN
a pretty rural dress of white; Il few
wild flowers were twisted in her fine
hair; a fresh bloom was on her cheek
