Relat.ye Merits Of Hard and. Soft Water.

The Josrndi Of Appiied Chemistry re

hard water is dangerous To the heaith
and on that account we arc constantly
warned ,by physicians 10 beware ofTi;

after dcvoting many years TO an invesii-

introduced into English cities, and TO a
study VI tho sanitary report on the sub
ject, comes TO tho conclusion that mod
eratcSi hard w;,;er-is safer and more

is not only clearer, colder, mere free

Ithas been inoontestibly shown that

exhibit the beet physicsl ,dcyslopncRt.
On the other hand, It isAbelieved that in
large cities the mortality is inve,seiy as

cooking food, such water offers the
necessary carbchatc OF lime for the sup
port Of life in the simplest, most natu-
raj and most easily digested form, and
Is at the same time more agreeable,
fresh, aud sparkling. IL is evident that
our preconceived popular notions on
the subject of Lard water need revising.
and that it may be better TO use such
water than to have recourse to rain or
ice water.

A gentleman who has been connected
with a shipping house in New london,
CT, which formerly employed both Capt.
Tyson and Capt. Buddington, makes a
number of interesting statements in re-
gard to the disposition of these men,
whose characters the reports receiv ed
thus far seem TO place in such strong con-
trast. Capt. Tyson some SIX or seven
years ago vas in command Of the
schooner Era, in a whaling voyage from
New London to Greenland. In the fall

he was obliged to abandon her with his
crew of twenty-four men. Taking with

his way to shore, he built tents of sails

them during the winter. HIS vessel vas

WHEN, it was resolved to raise regi-
ments of colored troops for the United
States army, the prejudice against color
was still strong enough to force in proyi-
sion that they should be differed exclu-
slyely by white officers and now that
colored men are likely to graduate at West
Point, and will have to be assigned to regi-
ments, the.secretary of war finds that as he
cannot assign them to colored regiments,
on account of this provision, he will be
compelled to assign them to white regi-
ments. 1t is thus that prejudice defeats
itself.

The true policy of the south has
always been to encourage manufactures :
yet she has always preferred to be mere
producer of the raw material. If new
light is beginning to break on her. we shall
be glad of it; and this paragraph from a
recent South Carolina paper is certainly
evidence of it:
inns southern country will become as
great IN %, cotton spinning as in cotton grow
ing. The New England rivers are misera-
Die cutters In comparison with the broad
streams OF the South. These and our
GENIAL climate were not given us for moth
ing. we believe that they were given the
South, as her cotton fields and iron mines
and gold mines were given her. 10
make the. South independent; not in
dependent by virtue of premiums wrested
from the government to compensate her for
the superior advantages of other lands. but
independent from the simple fact that her
position, her soil and climate, and the new.
born energy of her people enable her to
work more cheaply and more effectively
than can be done in any other section Of
the Union or in any country in Eurone.
ms Is the new song of the South"
This is solid sense, and if the South, in
stead of stigmatizing every new conner as
carpet-bagger, and presenting every one
who seeks to aid in developing her great
resources as manufacturing power, will
but welcome such aid as she can most as
suredly get, the day is not far distant
when she will be as rich and prosperous as |
she is now sullen and disconnected.

The Democrats Of Maine passed reso-
luton declaring that the Republicans,
nelngma majority in Congress, were respon-
sble, not only for the back-pay, but
Tor all the evils of which the country COM
plains, Including tie seduction Of Demo-
cfaf'c members Of Congress to the corrupt
schemes OF the Republican party" If the
Democratic members Of Congress are so
easily seduced, what is the use of electing
them? Clearly, a party whose representa-
tive men are, the Main Democratic conyen-
ton being judge, open TO the seductions of
the other party, is not the party TO right the
wrongs which its own men have helped to
perpetrate.

ELEcTIoN-DAY:
TUESDAY NOVEMBER a, 1873.
THE FARMERS AND THE RAJ

The Wing has leader on the farmers
and the railroads, which is very just in the
man. We have no confidence in any at
tempt corporate local and through freights;
nor is this demanded by any considerable
body of Western farmers. The great
offences of combined Rings in the West
4. We're the attempt of certain railroad mana
gers to control the warehouses and inspec-
ton of grain, and their refusal to remove
freight at all except for certain parties
and to elevators owned by them
selves. Excessive freights are only the
least part of the farmers complaint. tt
is proper also to say that the farmers
increment is far broader and deeper than il
generally supposed. II is the slow growth
of years, and involves the most important
questions of our time. Cheap Money,
Cooperation, Diversified Industry, Sweep
ing Reforms in Politics, Wider and more
perfect industrial Education; these are
some of the great matters which
have enlisted their efforts as well
as the problem of Cheap Transportation.
In movement so extensive there will be
local and individual extravagances and
errors, but as whole the farmers,
movement is most wholesome and legiti.
mate. Its success can only be .jeapordized
by Its own supporters, and we know too
we'll the intelligence and power of the
Western yeomanry to feel at all uneasy
about them.
The railroad policy which Virginia
needs looks to local accommodation as
well as through trade and travel. If either
must be sacrificed, however, it must not
be that OF oar oVn people. 1t is lust
cause of complaint North and West that
IN, many cases cheap through rates are Sc
cured at the expense of the local rates.
Such policy is ruinous to the people. It is
ruinous to the railroads in the end
also. The harmony of all interests is
nowhere better shown than in
this case. That policy which fills up
and improves the country along a line of
railroad renders its property secure for all
time, The through freight and travel
others may compete for, but the local
freight and travel is enclusioely its own.
Thus the policy which tends to enrich the
farmers of Virginia also tends most to
enrich the roads which carry their freight,
and over which they travel. We want the |
most liberal spirit manifested on the no,t
oil the producers towards those corpora-
tons which are equally essential to the
of Industry and Trade. We
would give most liberal encourage
ment TO genuine and honest en-
terprlses to build new roads and extend
the usefulness of those already built.
But we would resist, with the most bitter
the attempt to saddle local
traffic with the losses incident to compai.
ton nth through lines. Our cry is-every-
hing for men. women, and children in the
local neighborhood everything to stimu-
ate the social growth in the townships I
Give us this, and prosperity will come in
lue time to every legitimate interest of the
lation and the state.
