from its columns of last week:
Every day we see a weakening Of
partyism, and the strengthening Of pa
trtotism among the masses of the peo-
pie. You talk to a man now about
Hparty record" and threaten to
"read him out the party" and he
will laugh in your face. There is
great vitality in our nation, and
abundance OF patriotism, that will
rally and save the country from
C@sarism. Already the brake is be-
ing handled, and the car of State
must soon stop on the down grade to
destruction. 1t is not enough that
the people are patriotic--their pa
triotism must be aroused to action
and properly directed. The want Of
it was never lacking in the ancient
Greeks and Romans when they lost
their liberties. 1t only remained
dormant by reason of the attention
of the people being diverted from
the affairs of their country. Love OF
country is q natural instinct in the
breast of every human being-it is as
natural as the love of parents. Many
things have occurred in the past four
years, to divert the attention of the
people from the real situation Of
affairs. Demagogues and office-seek-
ers have fattered the people by CON
stantly reminding them of their no
BILE patriotism which preserved their
nation as whole-taking care to
keep alive and create bitter feeling
of one section Of the country against
the other-this being their principal
political stock in trade--while the
work of every true man was and is to
establish goodwill and harmony be-
tween the sections 50 recently en-
gagged in war. Physical force has
done its work-friendship and kind
ness towart. the people Of the South
can alone inspire them with friend
ship and love for the North, as like
begets like. This pandering and
fostering popular prejudices has di-
rected the attention of the people
from public affairs, while corruption
and plunder has been the order Of
the day, and gigantic corporations
and rings have been formed, and
have attached themselves to the body
polite, like blood suckers, drawing
the very life blood Of the nation. 1t
has become almost a struggle for
life. The question is, shall corpora
tions and nominal rings rule the peo-
pie, or shall the people rule themf
Ii you prefer the former, stick to
partyism, and obey the party lash,
and bow obsequionsly to party disci-
pline. If you would save your
country which all love, assert your
manhood, and free yourself from
party thraldom. Partyism of to-day,

BRIGHAM AND HIS WIVES.

.
Brigham Young is reported to have
expressed himself as follows in one OF
his recent sermons" in Salt Lake
City: II wish my women to under
stand that what / am going to say is
for them as well as others, and want
those who are here to tell their sis
ters, yes, all the women in the com
munity, l am going to give you from
this time to the 9th of October next
for reflection, that you may determine
whether you wish to stay with your
husbands or not, and then ! am going
to set every woman at liberty, and
say to them, now you go your way
And my wives have got to do one
of two things, either round up their
shoulders to endure the Affections OF
this world, and live their religion
that is, polygamy-or they must leave;
for / will not have them about me-
I will go into heaven alone rather than
to have scratching and fighting about
me. ! will set all at liberty. What,
first wife, too? Yes, liberate you all.
/ do not want them to receive part OF
the truth and spurn the rest out OF
doors. Let every man thus treat his
wives; keeping raiment enough to
coyer his body, and say to your wives,
take all that / have and be set at lib
erty, but ii you stay with me, you
shall comply with the law Of God in
every respect, and that, too, without
any murmuring or whining. You
must fulfill the law of God in every
respect, and round up your shoulders
TO walk up to the mark without any
grunting."

A CURIOUS CLIAlATE.-The climate
of Peru is set forth by a correspond
ent as exceedingly peculiar and
strange. 1t never rains there, we are
told, but during certain seasons, and
when the atmosphere is filed with
clouds, "dew falls so thick, heavy and
continuous that it will saturate the
heaviest clothing in less than half an
hour" The coming and going of the
clouds that distill this dew is another
strange thing connected with Peru
The changes are reported SO rapid and
violent as to startle the stranger. One
may be walking along the street, glo-
rying in the rich warmth OF the sun
shine, and admiring the deep, clear
blue sky, and almost imperceptibly a
change takes place, "and from the
southwark mass of dark clouds
come rolling across the armament
and soon the blue sky is replaced by q
somber pail, and to the glorious sun
shine succeeds drlzzlihg, penetrating
mist" And this is also changed
again, even while one is preparing to
guard against the mist, the sunlight
and the sky reappears in all their
brightness and beauty.

The ST. Louis Dispatcb gives the
following account of a serenade given
to ex-P President Jefferson Davis in ST.
Louis "Last night two sable Afri-
cans, who in ante bellum times hoed
the corn and picked the cotton on
Mr.. Davis plantation, serenaded their
old master at the Planters. Upon
the conclusion Of their dulcet strains
Mr.. Davis called them to his room
and made them both handsome pres
ents. He was alsol called on by an
old aunty who had the charge OF
nursing his Oldest child. The affeo-
ton Of the warm hearted ex-slayes
for their old muster, and the kind in
terest manifested by that distin-
guished gentleman would have made
an original abolitionist turn black
with chagrin.

AIloway Kirk, the scene Of Burns
''Tam O'Shanter, is described as q
lonely place, in the midst Of which
is small colliery, n mere outlying
patch Of the Scottish coal field. In
this colliery happened one Of the
most remarkable instances Of the te-
nacity Of life that has ever occurred.
In the churchyard Of the neighbor-
ing town Of Daily, the curious visitor
will find a tombstone with this in
scription; I'm memory Of John
Brown, collier. He was inclosed in
Kilgrammie coal-pit by portion Of
it having fallen in, October s, 1886,
and was taken out alive and in full
possession of his mental faculties,
October 31st, having been twenty
three days in utter seclusion from tho
world, and without particle Of food.
He lived for three days after, having
quietly expired on the evening Of
November Sd, aged &C years.
The evidence of such survival is
incontestable. Brown was working
in the pit when the timbers began to
give way, The other workmen fled,
but he coolly returned for his jacket,
saying it was anew one, and he could
not afford to loose it. That was the
last seen Of him for twenty three
days, when he was rescued. He
was then mere skin and bone, and
had upon him the death-like chill
ness of q corpse. Fungus had spread
over him as though he had been
rotten log. All through his hair and
bristly beard the white fungoid
growth had crept, and the unearthly
sight was one never to be forgotten.
Yet he was sensible. conyersed freely,
and lived, as stated, three days.

Caring FOR AN uDrBRELLA.

An incident that befell recent
traveller on a New Hampshire railroad
is thus told by the Portsmouth CIron-
icIe: He had occasion to get out OF
the car at New Market Junction,
leaving his umbrella lying across the
seat he had vacated. Returning, two
nicely dressed ladies sat in the seat
ahead, and as he resumed his sitting
one of them said, "You may pass me
that umbrella, if you please" He re-
piled, "Is it your umbrella, madamePH
Il will take charge of it," said she,
and the accommodating gentleman
passed his umbrella over to the lady.
Then pause. "Now, if you please
suggested the gentleman, II will
trouble you to return my umbrella
It's silk one and a good one. paid
just $40 for it, and I'd dislike very
much to part with it," The passen-
gers by this time had become inter
ested in the conversation, and, as the
umbrella was returned to its owner,
the lady who had shown such a pc
culiar interest in it was observed to
flush deeply, while the owner regret
ted that he had found it necessary to
rebuke her, HN

mated when Aldus Manutius set up in
business as a printer in Venice. He
came in possession of little negro
boy. This boy was known over the
city as "the little black devil" who
assisted the mysterious bibliofactor
and some of the most ingnorant peo.
pie believed none other than Satan
who helped Aldus in the prosecution
of his profession. One day, Manutius
desirous to dispel this strange hallu-
cination by publicity, displayed the
young Gimp" to the proper classes
Upon this occasion he made this short
but charteristic speech "Be it known

think he is not flesh and blood may

WHAT THE FARMER MUST KNOW.

The farmer, like the business man,
must know what he is doing; he
must have some pretty decided ideas
of what he is to accomplish-in fact
he must calculate it before hand.
He must know his soil-that Of
each lot; not only the top, but the
sub-Poil.
He must know what grain and
grass are adapted to each.
He must know when is the best
time to work them, whether they
need summer following.
He must know the condition in
which the ground must be when
plowed, so that it be not too wet, nor
too dry.
He must know that some grains
require earlier sowing than others,
and what these grains are,
He must know that it will pay to
have machinery to help him as we'll
as muscle.
He must know about stock and
manures, and the cultivation of trees
and small fruits, and many other
things. In words1 he must know
what experienced, observing farmers
know, to be sure of success. Then
he will not guess-will not run risks.

EMIGRATION.

Despite the explanations and dis
ayowals put forth, it is entirely GER
tain that the German Government
!, is seriously troubled at the continu-
ed and extensive emigration of the
people. The emigrant agents have
been compelled TO discontinue bust
ness, and every sort of hinderance
that can be thrown in the way of
emigration, is freely made use off,
Z Primarily, the German Emperor de
sires to retain the young men for
for military service; but he also fears
for the inroads being made in the
vigorous working population of the
country. In England, the fear of
emigration on large scale, as re-
suit of visit of of Joseph Arch to
this country, has already led to agi-
tation, among the ruling classes, in
favor of the conferment of the bal
lot, and representations ON the labor
ing classes. Surely American lnflu-
sence makes its silent way, even to
the thrones of the old world, and
causes them to tremble.

OF them were over taken, three burn

four others very severely manned.
Most of them were girls seven or
eight years of age. The mother of
three OF these children, in her en-

houses and barns were burned. Much
suffering is found in consequence.
