UNWAsHED AND UNTBRRTFIBD.

The Tines defends the Democracy from
the aspersion of the Pjcayl01e that it is the
party Of the great T'unwashed." This is a
bit of superserviceable work, since the
Democracy claims the distinction that the
Picay2tne bestowed upon it as one Of its
ear marks. It was one of the Wing argu-
ments that The Democracy was the ''un-
washed" party of the country, and the
Democrats accepted the cognomen and
added thereto thatit was also the ''unterris
fed" party, because it did not permit the
frills and kid gloves Of its opponents to
frigbtep it. History.
The immense Democratic majority IN
Georgia probably had q telling effect in
giving Pennsylvania to the Republicans.
The people Of the North are not yet pres
pared to see the government lapse into
the hands of the men who uade every eff
fort to destroy it.

How Bees Yentilaie.

Bees live in close houses, without a
window, and with but one door. They
need to breathe, they do not like poison,
and they are not lazy. You may hear a
constant humming or tanning in the hive
if you bend down your ear to listen. There
is strong steady draught of air going on
within, so that a piece of thistle-down is
blown away from the door. A row Of
Ateady, industrious bees are Tapping their
wings backward and forwards without q
moments pause, holding on the floor with
their feet, and as they tire, others supply
their place, for eentilatiOn is part of the
regular work of that well ordered home.

SteWed Oysters.

We suppose that nine out Of ten house
keepers will contradict us point blank, in a
statement that nine out of ten of them do
not know how to cook dish of oysters.
by the ordinary routine, that nearly every
one follows, either the oysters are stewed
and shrveed out of all resemblance of
themselves in shape, size, and flavor, or else
the soup" thickening' has a raw taste
that spoils it. Here is the right method;
try it once and We'll warrant you won't
need telling the second time: Pick the
oysters out of the juice with fork, as dry
IS possible; stew the juice, thickening with
the milk, of which the soup is to be made,
until thoroughly cooked then drop the
oysters in, and just as the cooled soup
begins to show signs OF simmering, empty
out altogether, and you will have a rich
soup and plump oysters, luscious enough to
make you thipk you never tasted real
oysters.

A Wrinkle about the Age of Horses.

The following information to ascertain
che age of a horse, after it has passed the
ninth year, is quite new TO us and will be
to the most of our readers. After the horse
is nine years old, wrinkle comes on the
cyelid, at the upper corner Of the lower lid,
and every year thereafter he has one we'll
defined wrinkle for each year ofhis age over
wrinkles, he is twelve. Add the number
Of wrinkles to nine, and you will always
get at his age.

To Wean n Colt.

1t is not necessary nor even desirable that
in weaving, the colt should be removed
from the mare. 1t is good plan to have
closed stall or box for her colt next to
each mares stall. She can then commu-
uicate in her own way with her colt, and
will not be so uneasy as she would be were
1t removed out of sight, nor will the colt
suffer in any way. Care must be taken to
give the colt water four times q day, and
feed with the best of the early-cut hay, and
gradually few oats, a handful at feed at
first, until pint twice day is fed. Colts
must be kept thriving if good horse is
wanted. The curry-comb must be used,
but gently; the young animal be caressed
and taught not to fear but to love its owner;
to become used to the various movments
made around the stable, and the various
articles contained therein. 1t should be
taught "to lead' now, if this has been
neglected up to this time. If there is any
danger of the mare becoming troubled with
excess of milk, it must be drawn from her,
and dry feed be given her until all danger
is past. When she is quite dry the colt
may take exercise with her, but previous
10 this it will be better in the stable.

Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 186?-1872, 1872-07-27

The indianapolis Evening News,
whose editor was witness of the in
famous outrages perpctrated at the
polls in that city in 1864, tells how Re-
publican victories have been manufac-
tured in Indiana. The News says:
"Tho Chicago Inter Ocean rushcs
vigorously to the defense of Senator
Morton and brags that he carried the
State in 1864 by over twenty thousand
majority. The less said about that
election the better. The Republican
party should hang its head in shame
at its mention. The grossest frauds
were practiced in the most open man
ner. A whole regiment of Massachu-
sets soldiers, half of them boys, voted
as often as they pleased. We saw one
boy less than sixteen years old vote a
dozen times. Anybody could vote who
wanted to, provided he voted the Re-
publican ticket, and some men who
talk to-day about purity and try to
teach US Republicanism, stood by.and
laughed over the fraud as a good joke.
A greater farce than that election was
never perpctrated. We hope this is
truly thing Of the past, and that we
have reached day in which thor
oughly fair election will be possible, in
which the sacredness of the ballot-box
will be strongly guarded as never
before"
