A farm consisting of one hundred and five
acres, more or less, situated in School District

We occupy some Of our space
this week in giving the result, con-
densed, of several Democratic Con-
ventions. We trust that the result of
these Conventions will soon be the
means OF restoring the primative
Democratic party to 'place and
power once more. The people can
see what the country has lost within
the past twelve years by the rule of
the so-called (but mis-named) Re
publican party. What the nation acas
before the late "cruel war;" the Demo
cratic party made it. No true Demo-
crat should feel sorry at the increas-
ing evidence Of the life that is being
given to the Democratic party.

Royal Beaaars.

|
boast of in the matter of the economy
Of their Congress and their Legislative
assemblies, which are constantly ex
hibiting wastefulness of the money
of the people that shows crude notions
of honesty, we have nothing quite SC
bad as the cost of royalty in England.
With a few exceptions, such as the
pension Of Mrs. Lincoln, our Con.
crosses have been chary in granting
annuities to any individuals, no matter
how great their public services and
how pressing their needs. But in
England it is different. That country
enjoys the luxury of royal family
and must pay for it; and Il royal lux
ury it is, too. The income of Queen
Victoria, both from her private re-
sources and the grants of Parliament,
is enormous, vieing with the richest
of her subjects. In return for this
splendid income, the services she rend-
ers to her country are merely nominal.
But the fashion Of presenting her
children, as fast as they are married,
with princely annuities, seems most
curious to us Americans. Here is a
woman enormously rich, with large
family of children, all of whom enjoy
good health and are abundantly able
to earn their own living, and yet the
nation has to support them like pack
Of hungry mendicants. A conspicuous
instance of this folly is seen in the
projected marriage of Prince Alfred
with the daughter of the Gar of Rus
STA. Alfred is healthy, stalwart
young man III every way capable of
supporting his wife as every man
should de, and with mother itch
enough to give him start in life if
he needs starting. The future bride
belongs to one of the richest families
in Europe, has father whose wealth
is rs innumerablc as the sands of the
sea, and yet these scions Of royalty
must be supported by the taxes taken
from the toiling masses Of Great
Britain. Parliament has voted nine
to one to give the marrying Prince a
annuity of &25,0OO, being equal to
about S12O, 900 in our currency, and
to the Princess Marie $4,000 annually,
should she become widow.
All this wicked waste Of money is
because the English Parliament fol-
lows the precedents Of ages when
royalty was supposed to be something
besides a shadow and the people sup
posed to be the slaves of their kings.
But happily those days are over and
it is time that the follies inherited
from them should be over too. What
claim has this young couple on the
English people for this lavish outlay
What has either Of them done to inn
prove the condition of their countries
or to indicate that they deserve spec
ial favors? Why should the toiling
miners, weavers and mechanics be tax
ed to waste money on these young
people, whose good fortune it is to
belong to that class Of people who do
nothing and get better pay for it than
the rest Of the world do by working
all the time. Strange that any intelli-
gent people should be so incrusted
with traditions and prejudices as to
stand such an imposition. When will
such follies cease g Union Gazette &c

1t is common saying that a "woman's
work is never DONE" and the saying is too
true. From early dawn to dewy eve, and
often far into the silent hours of the night
woman finds, always, work for her busy
hands. And thus it is that she is heard to
exclaim that she "nevcr has q moment to
call her own" Work and toll by day
toll and work by night-unceasing druid
gery--often lily paid for, or unrequited.-
But science has come to woman's aid, and
in some degree lightened her burdens
Elias Howe, Jr., has proved himself the true
friend f.womankind, and by inventing
and pertccting his Sewing Machine is en-
titled to the proud appcllation of woman's
bcneiactor 1t were needless for us to moro
than call the readers attention to the Howe
Sewing Machine In this community their
superior merits are too we'll known to need
any praise from us. And in all competi-
ton they have stood the test, and to-day
stand before the country without supc-
rior in public estimation. They are easily
and not liable to get out of order.
and in the language of the Christian Intell-
genccr, "any family is made happy by the
introduction of this trustworthy machine"
Now, it should not be wi | any man a
question of dollars and cents whether he
will have a Sewing Machine or not, for it
is, whether he so regards it or not, a ques-
ton of length oflife and happiness to those
in whom he is most interestcd-his o1cn
family. We know of no way in which
money can be more judiciously spent than
by investing in these beautiful and useful
instruments. BY paying five or ten col.
