Pollyowogamuses held high revelry at
the different houses of our citizens, call

hour of twelve, when, in a twinkling of
an eye, theyvanished fromsight. Where
they went no enc knoweth, but we hope
that when next Mardi- Gras comes round
that they may again pay us a visit.
The only occurrence worth noting ofthe
day, was that of two of our young men
who. not belonging to the maskers, rode
through townfor the purpose of taking
an evenings ride. On passing a gate
upon which were perched three young

GHAPPED HANDS.

In healthy condition the skin is kept
supple by an oily secretion, which answers
the same purpose as oiling leather Dur
ing warm weather this secretion, in COM
mon with all the other secretions of the
skin, is more abundant thanin cold. When
it is insufficient the skin becomes dry and
harsh +; and on those parts of the body
where the skin is thick and subject to
motion as on the hands, it readily cracks
or assures. The amount of this secretion
is so much reduced in cold weather that
the frequent washing of the hands with
soap causes them to chap readily, and this
the more certainly if the soap is not wash
ed of. The alkai in soap is usually in ex-
cess, and this combines with the oily Sc
erection, and so deprives the skin of its nat
ural lubricator. To prevent the hands
from chapping, then, be careful to wash
all soap from them thoroughly in clean
water. This will ordinarily suffice; but, il
not, it will be necessary to make good the
removed oil by using KENNEDY'S SALT
RHEUM OINTMENT, sure cure for all
skin diseases of whatever name or nature.

township OrganiEation.

The old system Of county government
by which three men run the whole bust
ness is an aristocratic and anti-republi-
can one and throws county affairs under
the almost exclusive management of
small ring of fat office holders tending to
extravaganza and corruption. The town
ship system is the true democratic republi-
can system, and is well described in paper
called The Old and Nee, imam article en-
titled New England Town Meetings as
follows:
So long as a town meeting lasts in a COM
munity, II is almost impossible that there
should be rings In that community
Does the town vote fifty dollars for the
cross. walk opposite the widow Jones barn?
Does the treasurer's report show next
year that il cost fifty-One dollars Some.
body will remember what was voted, and
somebody will ask where the extra dollar
came from, and who expects 10 pay it.
IL would require more than the ingenuity
of any ring New York has ever known to
pass the argus eyed criticism of a March
Meeting. Its, therefore, as we believe,
a matter Of great regret, that in the
crowd Of work pressing upon the farmers
Of new States, the people of the West, in
working their constitutions, have so gener-
ally abandoned the New England theory Of
the town meeting. Outside of New Eng
land, the division into townships has much
less political value than it has here; and
the FIRST object Of good government, name
~, the management of schools, roads, and
health, is left, in a large degree, in the
hands Of supervisors of counties, who are
not subjected 20 any personal interview
with their constituents. and who have in
practice very considerable latitude Of pow
ers, which, to the New England select
men, are wholly unknown.
But what shall we say Of the County
Commissioner system, where there are no
townships, no township or local officers, and
the whole affairs of the county are man
anged by three men and a central ring ?
We are much attached to the New Eng
land town meeting system, where the peo-
pie assemble in the town house and listen
10 reports Of their town officers, vote the
necessary taxes for their town, choose their
officers, and talk over their town affairs
But If we cannot have that-by all means
let US get as near 10 it as we can, by pre-
serving our township organization system,
and not go back to the old frontier system
Of three County Commissioners to do the
whole business ofthe county.
