A Tale Of Grant and Chandler

NIrRE IN MAPLE SUGAR.-Mr. l. r.
Densmore of Middlesex stateo that from
$50 pounds of maple sugar he separat-
ed Is pounds of nitre the present season.
His process was to boil down the syrup
till it could be boiled no more without
danger of its granting, and then setting
it aside to stand for some twenty-four
hours before "sugaring of. !" The nitre
settles to the bottom, and he also strains
the syrup through thin flannel cloth.
The result is a superior quality of sugar.
The proportion of nitre, as it is called
seems almost incredible, but Mr.. Dens-
more says he accurately weighed it, and
that it resembled white sand when dry
and was deficient of any sweetness
There is great difference in seasons, we
are told by sugar makers, in producing
a greater or less per cent. of nitre, anc
the present must be good nitre year
according to Mr.. Densmore's experience
! Certain it is that the maple sugar viii
require no additional sanding to make
it merchantable if it is all similarly i'm
pregnated and not as carefully screened

o, THAT / WERE BEAUTIFUL is the
unspoken wish of thousands of women
TO whom nature has denied the charm OF
pure, fresh transparent complexion
To crafty this wish HAGAN's MAGSo-
LA BALM was introduced. The cos
meties OF the day had been pronounced
poisonous by the most distinguished
chemists, and it was also found that
their ultimate effect was to wither the
skin as well as to paralize the external
nerves. The ladies hailed with delight
the advent of healthful, herbal and
floral preparation capable of Imparting
TO their faces, necks and arms a poree-
lain smootbness and tinge like that o!
the finest oriental pearl. They soon dis
covered that it was "a new thing un,
der the sun" Incompatible and unap
proachable. Unquestionably the Mag
nolia Balm has been the great toilet sue
cess of the present century.

After two weeks of Cincinnati nomi-
nation. as between the democratic and
republican parties, the former came out
altogether the most demoralized of the
two. Missouri, which has been against
the republicans for several years would
to-day probably vote for Greeley, but
there is no reason to suppose any
other State would. In some places
where democratic hunger for power Is
overwhelming, they have made very res
pectabte demonstrations for Greeley
and we hope will continue to do SO.

FACTS AND FIGURES FROM A THRIVING
VERMONT TOWN.
Here is one of the most enterprisng
towns in northern New England. The
site is of remarkable beauty, and art and
taste have heightened its natural attrac-
tions. The public library, the $4,000
gift of Horace Fairbanks to the town, is
surpassed in no country town anywhere
for the beauty of the building or the ex-
cellence of its literary contents. Gas
works and water works, constructed by
the enterprise and public spirit of the
Fairbanks company, add to the substan-
tial attractions of the place. The St.
Johnsbury academy boarding house,
costing $4,000, is the gift of the veneer
able Thaddeus Fairbanks to the cause

AN EPIDEMIC.-There has been an
epidemic among COWS in Rochester, in
Windsor county, this spring, which has
demanded no little attention. Cows
would give milk two or three weeks and
become dumpish, eat very little, fall
away, horns and ears become cold, pulse
slow and feeble. This seemed to call for
tonics and stimulants, and accordingly
thorou ghwort tea, as strong and as bot
as possible has been given with ginger,
cayenne pepper, and in some cases, ep-
som salts. These things, with horse-rsd-
ish roots, have generally been efficacious

INSIDE VIEW OF THE CINCINNATI
CONVENTION Samuel Bowles devotes
over five columns of his paper to a care
full review of the Cincinnati Convention.
1t mainly comedies with the general i'm
preston of the course of proceedings and
of the influences operative thereupon.
Greeley's nomination is traced directly
to the arrival of Gratz Brown and Frank
p. Blair. those cousins who acted so
shrewdly for revenge rather than through
policy. browns conduct" say Mr..
Bowles, "was natural enough for a
man of over-weening vanities and pas
sionate nature. He felt he had been be-
trayed." Blair made no concealment
of his agency in the matter, but when
upbraided by friend of Adams for his
intervention in this extraordinary way
he said: have saved you from your
selves; your man could not have started
the votes of our Western people; Gree
ley will run like prairie fire. You
ought to thank me for what havedone."
Among those defeated and bitterly hui
inflated by this result of the convention
was Carl Schurz, of whom Mr.. Bowles
says:
"Pledging in faltering voice his sup
port of the nomination to the Conven-
ton, he left it weary with labor and sad
in spirit for the house of his friend, Judge
Stallo. Entering there circle of equally
disappointed friends, he said. i am over
whelmed and discouraged There were
no words of consolation or cheer to offer
him, and sad silence reigned for few
moments. Then he turned to the piano,
and with his master hand poured out his
feeling through one of Auber's most
touching compositions. 1t seemed as ii
the composers thought had never been
so ftly rendered before, and tears filed
the eyes of the whole company"

At spiritual seance the other night
the ghostly visitor was asked what was
the most popular amusement IN the spir-

was the answer.
- An unlimited number Of half dead
and.alive trees can be seen now IN the
burnt district of Chicago. The sides
which fronted the fire are charred and

ed at Cincinnati. 1t says: " Greeley
was chosen to afford a pretext for DEM
ocratic nomination, and his success at
the polls is not thought of or expected.
But the accession of the democratic par
ty to power is what is expected"
- The democratic hope of success
next November by means of Republican
aid, reminds the editor Of the Illinois
State Journal, of a negro sermon he once
heard. The colored preacher, in the
course of very animated discourse, re-
lated dream which he had dreamed a
few nights before. He said he dreamed
he had the ladder with which "Jacot
went up to saw de Lord on, and by de
help OBJ faith he mounted away up to de
top;" but it was too short, so he spliced
it and put it up a second time still i
was too short. Determined to succeed
he put on smashing big splice" bu
on mounting again to the top it was 'toC
short de third time" So" said th,
preacher in load voice, /" | spread my
wings an give an a-l-m.i.g-h-t-y jump i
Then his voice dropped TO confidential
whisper, and he concluded by saying

Cincinnati convention, and at what he
believes to be the overthrow of the re-

said the .slost cause" was not lost, "only
