A Veteran.

The Neoo York Observer, having complet-
ed it's fftieth year as the leader of the Re
ligious Newspaper Press, is now preparing
for its thousands Of subscribers a New
Years Gift in the shape of a Jubilee Year.
Book, which will be embellished with sew
eral appropriate illustrations. The Oh
se''cer was launched in 1923, and for fifty
years has sailed in an undertaking course
without once changing its motto or strik-
ing its colors. Few papers can present
such a successful history; and while there
are plenty of good papers published, there
are few that we can recommend as strong
ly as the Observer for all the purposes of a
Family Newspaper. Large, comprehen-
sive and well-flled, it cannot fail to pay
those who take it four-fold for their out
lay. All subscribers get the Jubilee Year.
Book, gratis. So year. Sidney E. Morse

The Sc .loOI i'm the House or Home Study
at Night.

The Sc :looI in the House, or Home Study
at Night.
The following contribution to the col
umns of the Cecil Democrat is we'll worthy
the serious attention of parents having
children at school:
What valuable opportunities for intel
lectual improvement are afforded to al
young people during the many and long
Autumn and Winter evenings which are
now passing away! 1t is hard to estimate
the Importance of redeeming such time fol
the acquisition of knowledge. Many
good books might be thoroughly read and
without the aid of school, Many might
become self-made scholars, if they could
be persuaded to use in study the hours
that run to waste.
The teachers in our academy are anxious
that the rule requiring every pupil to study
at least one solid hour each evening al
home, shall be obeyed. One or two of the
principal lessons for the next day should
thus be well learned each night
Some do this cheerfully and with great
advantage. Others may need parental en-
couragement and authority. A little firm
ness with persevering attention will soon
establish habit which will greatly aid
the work of education at school.
Let there be a fixed time-a definite
hour called "Study Hour" when all must
be at home, when other work, play and
company must give place to study. Let
there be table-a ''study table," with a
lamp upon it, around which the pupils of
the home school shall be seated with their
books. A parent, or some other suitable
person, should preside, both to maintain
order and dilligent study, and also to as
sons have really been learned.
This arrangement will richly repay both
pasents and children. The scholars will
accomplish vastly more at school, not on
ly from having more time for other lessons,
but also from the habit of study which
they will form and establish in this way.
Scholars who never see their books from
''school out to school in" rarely study
much while at school, Their minds are
off their books so long that they scarcely
become interested in their lessons until, at
the close of school hours, they are turned
loose and run wild again.
The love of study and habits of diligent
study cannot be found in this way, for
these reqnire that study be the main bust
mess of the scholar while at school. The
scholar who does not study at home is I'M
able to keep up in class with those who
do. He lags and drags. He does not I'M
derstand and becomes discouraged
Teachers have no time to have separate
recitations for those whose neglect of home
study prevents them from keeping even
pace with their advancing class.
Night study will also tend to prevent,
or to cure the very dangerous habit OF
'street running" at unreasonable hours,
when the owls, bats, and dogs of bad COM
pany are abroad.
Now, when the evenings grow longer
and longer, is the time to put the "home
school, in full operation. 1t will amply
repay in the saving of time, trouble and
money, and in the solid advantages of
good habits and of good education.

Friday, Nov. 90, 1872.
wIt seems premature to be talkin.

sB II SeeLIS premature 10 De talking
of the next election, but in view of the
result of the recent one in our county,
it is The duty of all Democrats and
Conservatives to begin organizing with
reference to it. Remembering, with
modification, that the Radicals have
carried our county by our negligence,
and not by their gains, let us forget all
differences of opinion which may have
conduced to such result. There should
be no fault-fnding, or blame, attached
to any particular person, or persons,
when all alike are reprehensible for
want of zeal and activity. The past
should be forgotten, except as warn
ing for the future. It is too late now
to avoid the reproach of our defeat, and
the loss of our efficient and faithful
Representative in the next Congress;
but it is not too late, with proper ex-
ertion, to prevent the control of our
county matters passing into the hands
of those who would, for the most part,
have no other interest in them than so
to manage them as to conduce to their
personal advantage. No man can fold
his arms and hold himself aloof upon
the ground that he has no care for, or
interest in the matter. Every man is
either a taxpayer, or hopes and expects
to be one. Every man is interested in
the proper filing of county Offices,
which, directly or indirectly, must and
will affect him in some way. Self-in-
terest, and self-respect alike, should
prevent and forbid any man then so
to assume and act. Let us all, who
have heretofore thought alike and act
ed together, unite in keeping up our
political organization for our protec-
ton next fall from Radical rule. No
greater NOR LITIGATION could be infict-
ed ON the few who have deserted their
former professed principles, for what
they doubtless deem the stronger side,
than the bitter disappointment to
which we should thus subject them.
Washington city, with all its super
numerary places, has not offices enough
for all who expect them, especially if
they have to be shared with their already
clamorous colored allies. They look
to the counties then for their reward.
Woe betide us, if they succeed! With
out looking tothe debt burdened South,
we have a warning example nearer
home. The District of Columbia furn-
ishes it, with its system of so-called
public Improvements, it's arbitrary COM
missioners and rich contractors, and
its hundreds of pensioned imported
employees, on the one side; and its
tax-ridden property holders, and I'M
employed resident laborers on the 9TH
er. Let us not wait, then, until the
next campaign, to commence. Let US
organize at once, excite the attention,
and awaken the interest of our people.
Lf-so, we shall succeed; we shall not
become the subjects of a few scalawags,
and Adventures, using our credulous
and easily duped negroes for their ele-
Walton to power; but remain our own
masters, and rulers of our own county.

participation in the recent opposition
movement The Republican party has not
only outlived the issues on which it was
founded, but it has estranged and discard
ed the statesmen who were most influen-
tial in building it up and accomplishing
its mission. In 1876, its nomination will
be competed for by secondary leaders who
came late into its ranks, never cared much
for its principles, and have no strong hold
upon its confidence. 1t is likely enough
to split into fragments and run several can.
didates, as the party of the same name did
in 1924, when twas on the point of break,
ing up. x
1t would seem to follow from this stats
OF facts and these prospects, that the best
thing to be done now is not to insist much
on mere names or shibboleths, but seek tc
interest the public mind in the great prin.
ciples which all former Democrats held in
common. If, as seems certain, the politics
of the country are to be reconstructed or
financial and commercial issues, what is
mostneeded is fervent apostleship for SOUND
principles. 1t must be our purpose in the
new era to bring those who think alike tc
act together. Wemust rebuild the Demo.
cratic edifce by bringing back the stones
carried transiently into other structures
Or, in plain language, we must re-unite all
who held Democratic doctrines before the
Republican party was formed, and rein,
| force them by the numerous recent converts
| to the same order of economic and politi-
cal ideas. To accomplish this we must
drop mere partisanship and discuss prin.
ciples. First the quarrymen, then the ar
chitect; first believers, then the church,

A Universal Article of .Faith.-Ir

A Universal Article of Faith.-In
these days of religious contention it has been
thought impossible to indicate an article of
faith upon which all sects and classes were
united. There is one, however, and very
notable one, viz: belief which is implicit and
universal in the paramount efficacy of that
matchless Household Tonic and Recuperant,
Plantation Bitters. The constantly increasing
patronage which it receives has, it is true, ex-
cited the petty envy of certain splenetic adver-
tisers of pinchbeck panaceas, who hope to make
market for their own stagnant watery wares,
by decrying all spirituous medicinal prepara-
tons. But the public can stomach neither
their arguments nor their potations, and con-
sequently reject these very weak limitations OF
the enemy as entirely too thin

The fancy Statue.

The statue of Chief Justice Roger B.
fancy, by Rinehart, the well known Bal
timore sculptor, executed on a commission
from the State of Maryland, will be inau
gurated during the coming month of. De-
cember. Since his return from Europe,
Mr.. Rinehart has received commissions
from the patrons of art in Baltimore, and
has been busily engaged in the making of
'busts" of prominent citizens. His return
to Europe will be delayed somewhat by
these commissions The ceremonies at
tendant upon the unwilling of the fancy
statue will be of a very interesting charac-
ter, and it is expected will be attended by
prominent men from all parts of the coun-
try. S. Teackle Wallis, ESQ.,, will deliver
the inaugural address upon the occasion.
Apart from the loss of Congressman
well. Instead of the Legislature being
Republican, the Democrats have major
ity in both branches over Republicans and
Independents. The State has gone for
Greeley, and elected Brown, the Liberal
candidate for Governor, by handsome
majority. If the anti Grant men in the
several Congressional districts had united
they could have chosen seven out of the
ten members of Congress. They divided
and only got three. This is lesson we
hope they will profit by in the future.
WThe majority for Greeley in Louis
lana is placed at 6,707. General Beaure-
gard has been elected Administrator of
Public Improvements.

The "Housekeeper,, of our Health

The sHOusekeeper'' of our Health.
The liver is the great depurating or blood
cleansing organ of the system. Set the great
housekeeper of our health at work, and the foul
corruptions which gender life, are gradually
expelled from the system. For this purpose,
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is pre-
eminently the article needed. 1t cures every
kind of humor, from the worst scrofula to the
common pimple, blotch or eruption. Great
eating ulcers kindly heal under its mighty cur
alive influence. Virulent blood poisons that
Turk in the system, are by it robbed of their
terrors, and by perseverng and somewhat
protracted use of it, the most tainted systems
may be completely renovated and built up anew.
Enlarged glands, tumors and swelings dwindle
away and disappear under the influence of this
great resolvent. 1t is sold by all druggists.

his hands In his efforts to remove this blotch,
this scandal from our republican system, and
he, with the aid of the Pacific Railroad and
those recently discovered gold and silver
mines Of Utah, in bringing in the Gentiles by
hundreds and by thousands, will quietly settle
the question. In the very organization Of the
republican party its mission was declared to
be "the abolition Of those twin relics of bar
barsm-polygamy and slavery" Slavery has
been completely extingushed, but the polyga-
my against which this declaration was directed,
still hourishes. General Grant, under many
embarrassments, Is doing all he can do for the
removal of this evil but this State organiza-
ton under Mormon polygamy calls for some
action on the part of Congress which will give
those Saints distinctly to understand that
henceforth, neither under the government OF
a State or Territory can Mormon polygamy
be recognized or tolerated by Congress. Let
the two houses give helping hand to the
President, and this ''twin relic" will soon dis
appear.

The GERMAN PRESS ON THE ALABAMA
CLAIMs.-Quite change has come Of late over
the German press and the manner in which it
treats the American demand on England. At
first It was inclined to be somewhat hostile now
1t appears friendly enough, and not only seems
to think that our demands are fair, but that
England will not dare to refuse to pay them.
England is not in a position to refuse in case
war should prove the result Of refusal In an
article from German source which our Ber-
lin correspondent furnishes, and which is pub
lished on another page, the reader can form
some impression OF the German idea Of the
disasters which would befall England in case
of war becoming the arbitrator in the settle
rnent of the Alabama claims

THE SPANISH ELECTIoNs.-Up to the date
of our latest news, the elections in Spain have
resulted very much as we have already in
dicated. In some provinces, as was to be ex-
pected, there has been trouble. The minis
victory. The Electoral Colleges have not yet
completed their work ; but so far they have
elected TO the Cortes sixty-seven ministerial
lists as against twenty-siy coalitionsts. 1t is
q significant feature of the elections that
Madrid, the capital city, has gone dead
against the Ministry.

FATHER GAvAzzI EN- ROUTE TO THE UNITED
STATEs-In company with Rev. Mr.. Thomp-
son, of Pennsylvania, Father Gavazzi, the
we'll known Italian priest and brilliant writer,
Is on his way to the United States. 1t is I'M
derstood that he will leave England for these
shores in the steamship Russia. The Padre
visits the Christian churches of America in
the interest of the Free Church of Italy-a
church of which he may be regarded as the
founder, and which, from all accounts, is
making some progress 1t will not be wonder
ful If the eloquent priest should make some
trouble when he gets among US. He has a
bitter tongue In his head, and he knows how
10 use 1t to make strife. IF he makes an
honest endeavor to keep the peace we know
no reason why we should not wish him success
in bis mission. If, however, he comes here
tor the purpose of stirring up religious strife,
We cannot aud will not wish him Godspeed.
