A Kind Word for Old Maids.


sNii 49,
For US, we really love the girls who
arc called told maids" Fourteen OF
forty, what matters 1t? Are they i,4t
happy? Happy in recollections. we
never knew one who couldn't tell you
of the man her mother wanted her TO
marry, and she wouldn't, ana now
heI mother and her mothers relatives
have been down on her ever since.
There is something really charitable
and refreshing in being able to say ny
way of stereotyped compliments 10
one of the old girls that you are SURF
1t isn't her fault she never was mar
ried. You always mean, you KNOW,
that she has had plenty Of oilers, ana
hasn't had the graCiousness to accept
any of them. At the same time you
can't help thinking that there goes
down u lie against you in the BOOK OF
Life.
We think the old maids the sweetest
production of nature. They have
never made anybody miserable. They
won't. 1t is gratifying upon meeting
one to thank heaven that you never
met her before or you might have
been worse of. 1t is compliment 10
the old girl.
Yet there is a great big truth in the
thought that, next to your wife, me
best woman you know Of is an old
maid. She lives to remind you lhal
you are not old. She is always sweet
tempered, and wouldn't refer to YOU,
peculiar weakness Of being married
for the world, She culls q flower ana
puts it in your b%utton-hole, and speaks
charitably of the gray hair or two
that silver your brow?

EFFECT OF COLD ON IRON AMI
SrEEL.-mr many years 1t has been
almost All axiom among civil Gu
gineers that great cold tended to pro-
duCe u brittle condition of iron and
steel, and that by this hypothesis
might he explained the alleged In.
crease In the percentage Of railway
accidents by the breaking Of tires and
axles during the cold season rs COM
pared with the warm. A recent com.
munication before the literary and
philosophical society Of Manchester,
England, by Brockbank, maintained
the view just stated but in the dis.
cussion which followed, several emf
nent engineers entered their protest
against it, and adduced facts which
tend to al entirely opposite conclu-
sion. According to DR.. Joule, numer-
GUS experiments by himself and
others proved that, so far from iron
and steel being weakened Ky cold,
they are actually made positively
stronger, resisting shocks and strains
before which they yielded when
brought to a higher temperature.
While not defying the fact Of the
greater frequency of fracture during
the cold weather, DIR. Joule'refers these
to the increased hardness of the ground
by freezing, by which the iron Is sub
jected to IL greater strain or shock
than under ordinary circumstances.

or ia to be classcd among the hum.
bug,. There seems TO be nc doubt
that there il in South America a
plant bearing the Indian name of Gun
durango. The October report of the
Department of Agriculture acknowl-
eGgcs the receipt Of "fruit and seed

racy in such matters), and publishes
an extract from a letter of the United
States Consul at Guayaquil, who ssys
"Dr. Dcstruggc, of this city, an excel

as belonging to the order dSclcpiod-
,n'-the Milk-wccd Family. On the
other hand, DR.. Carl Appcrn, in a
work uron Venezuela, etc, just pub
lishcd in Germany, and quoted by the
Scientific editor Of Jumpers Wcchiy,
says that Cundurnngo is the Mihant0

"SrmKE YOUR IIouR."-Fcw girls
have any conception of a ripe wo-
manhood. Youth includes all OF
life that is worth living in their eyes.
The bloom and flavor wasted In
clinging to a faded youth would, in
natures alchemy, give richness and
sweetness to the maturer years. In
stead of the dim horizon and lcaden
SKY of The east, when the surprising
is long past, there is the lOfticr dome
and clearer radiance of the meridian,
if one keeps pace with the sun. "Al-
ways strike your hour" says some
writer. Every year in life has its
own individuality, its own possibili-
ties. Why should we not be eager
TO catch each in its season, since.such

time? Why should we not gather
into ourselves the sweetness and va
ricty OF every change that comes to
us? There is always something new

AS WE EXPECTED.

In answer to our denial that Gen.
Grant fought the battle above the
clouds on Lookout Mountain, the
Enterprise publishes copies of dis
patches from Grant to Halleck. He
should have omitted to mention the
name of Hooker, which will be seen
in those dispatches, to substantiate
his assertions. As we'll might Grant
take from General Sherman the
credit of the battle of Missionary
Ridge, fought on the same day, as
to claim from General Hooker the
laurels of Lookout Mountain. Gen.
Grant commanded the Department
in which these battles we're fought,
and of course communicated the re-
suit to Halleck. He was never
nearer Lookout than Chattanooga.
We repeat u assertion, that Gen.
Hooker fought ':the battle above the
clouds on Lookout Mountain"
What has the Enterprise to say
about the "four million co]ored
voters" and the millions of the
Grand Army of the Republic? ?"
Can't you credit Grant with some
thing there by official records, Mr..

Mrs. O'Leary's COW appears to be
doing mischief everywhere. In Chi
cago she kicked over the lamp and
set the city on fire. In New York
she adulerated milk with chalk, sal
eratus and water. In San Francisco
she probably kicks over the milk
bucket, and the measure is made
good at the hydrant. In Boston Ed
ward Everett Hale has organized a
pure milk brigade, and Mrs. O'Leary's
COW is then represented by hundreds
of milkmen, who have arisen in a
fierce opposition. Unless something
is done by way of abatement, all the
tactical troubles of the future, from
swill milk down to watered milk, will
be traced to Mrs. O'Leary's COW.

TIE PEOPLE MUST GOVERN,

Many and difficult r the prob
lens offered by the masses and seri-
Gus predictions r whispered upon
every breeze of the success or de-
feat of the illustrious philosopher
of Chappaqua. 1t has become to all
1ust and reasonable men a reality,
confirmed by the honest and con-
sentative action OF the people, who
through no dictates of corrupt and
selfish ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, met IN Con-
vention and sent forth a chief, whose
life record is associated with the
growth and power of this youthful
Government. The question is often
discussed-is ~itpossible to unite this
conservative element in sufficient
power to overcome this consolidated
despotism?-the offspring of person
al military rule. The platform
adopted by the Liberal Convention.
does not by deception attempt to
place false or dead issues before the
people, but in simple principles an
nounces the fundamental basis upon
which the old devoted party of pat
riotism democracy can accept, and
not discard any of the old landmarks
of other days, but enter into this
great work of reform with her many
millions guarded and directed by
many true and brave chieftains.
The history of the past ten years is
q sufficient guide to the better class
of thinking and reasonable men, that
to form a solid conservative basis
for a complete and triumphant over
throw of military rule, and establish
o civil reign, it has become neces-
sary for the Democratic larty, as a
conservative balance power, to unite
and strengthen reform, from what
ever source. At this present period
Of American history, no more glori-
Gus opportunity has been offered to
the old Bourbon party, than that by
which the pressure of unconstitu-
tional power has forced a division in
the Republican party. We demand
no pledges of the past, with its con
tentions and blood and civil strife.
The present and its issues is the
ground on which the struggle in
November next must be decided.
The future destiny of the republic is
now depending upon the action of
the Democratic party, and their
strength alone cannot electa regular
nominee Of the party. Then in the
name of constitutional liberty and
the equality of States and the people.
there is no other hope for a just and
honest administration but to accept
and elect Greeley. Greeley will be
acceptable, not only to the liberal
element of the Republican party and
Democratic party of the West, but
will give entire satisfaction to the
South. Parties cannot any longer
be governed by demagogues. The
people must govern. and through
them re-establish a peoples govern
ment, that everyone may receive a
part of its rights and benefits.
