THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY.

The New York Democracy have held
their State convention. 1t was divided
into two factions. the Tammany party and
the Apollo Hall party. The Tammany-
ties held the organization and the prepon-
derance Of strength in the convention.
The other faction asked for recognition
in the convention and union with the Tam
manyites on the ticket and in the objects
of the campaign, but their request was re-
fused. This dismissed them from the con.
vention with threats of vengeance against
the dominant faction, either to- combine
with the liberal republicans or stand alool
from the contest. The Tammanyites bear
disgraced name, but they manifest as
much spirit in dealing with those who fall
under their displeasure as in the palmiest
days of the democracy. They are not
made of the stuff that seeks new depart
ures and whines for new alliances, but of
that resoiute sort which nails the colors to
the mast and accepts defeat in the per-
Torrance of duty without shrinking. The
republicans will carry the State against
democrats and liberals. TheSpresident of
the democratic convention, Mr.. Horato
Seymour, in his address confined himself
to State matters, not even bringing in the
financial crisis as topic Of sensation or
decanting upon Credit Mobiier or the sal
ary grab. The campaign promises to be
quiet and interesting, except where local
matters wake up the voters.

THE FARMER AND HIS MASTER

If nothing else serves to render a
farmer contented with his occupation,
this thing should've is his own
master. The farmer almost alone of
the whole army of workingmen, can
say this with any sort of prepriety.
The march ofimprovement, as it is
called, during the past thirty years
has reduced almost every mechanic
to the position of servant, a person
who does the bidding of his master.
But the farmer, be his acres few
or many, is his own master and the
director of his own energies; more
than the mechanic, more than any
professional man, he is at liberty to
crafty his own peculiar tastes and
to carry out his own plans. He is
allowed wide choice of occupations
while being a farmer; and without
any serious break can change from
stock-raising to grain-growing, from
Bookkeeping to vine-dressing; and
then, if the change is found not pleas
ant or not profitable. can in his mid :.
dle-life 60 back to the one which he
begun. So, too, there is no business
in which the young man of energy
Can SO easily engage in on his own &C.
count. Even if be rents farm he
is vastly more independent than the
mechanic who works all his life for
an EN- loyer. But with homestead
to be had almost for the asking, there
is no need of this. He can become
the possessor of home and farm
that a patriarch might covet, and
henceforth be among the most indie
pendent OF men.

Animals will eat of dry fodde

Animals will eat of dry fodder
about three pounds daily for every
hundred pounds of animal, varying
with the animal and the quality OF
food, whether good O.. bad, rich or
poor. Animals differ greatly in size,
and the rule must be applied accor-
dinghy. Again there is great diff
ference in the land, some kinds
yielding more than three times as
much as others. Still again the man.
agement has much to do with the
result. We are within bounds when
we say that some men will obtain as
much from one acre of land as 9TH
| ers will from ten acres. Ifcattle are
fed by soiling in summer, twice as
much food may be obtained from
land as when 1t is daily pastured.
We have known some men, by skill.
full management, feed cow the
year ound on two acres others will
require four or five on similar land.
Horses need one-half more than cows
on common average, although
some COWS eat more than some
horses. The labor required depends
greatly on the kind Of managem enI
given to the animals and the facility
OF cropping and feeding.

The following item we clip from

is true of Iowa and the western and

of his late purchases of MINI. have

expenditures for hides in this country
reach millions of dollars every year.
In order to show how widely tn G

while the head of the establishment

that the six Chinese companies in

steamer which sailed two weeks
ago for China, took out an order
from them for one million type
Chinese c1aracters-to be used in
stocking the office. Their plan is
to publish the paper three times a

For several days past the news
from Spain has been discouraging to
the cause of the new Republic. The
Carlists seem to have been gaining a
stronger foothold in the southeastern
part of the country, and have been
victorious in several small engage
ments. The Cortes is divided, and
wrangling spirit has paralyzed its
action. Whether the Republic goes
up or goes down, so far the Republi-
can leaders have done nothing disre-
putable to their professions Of Re-
publicanisp. What Prim in his alb
solute rule did not dare attempt,
these Republican leaders have cour-
ageously begun and seem inclined to
carry through. They have abolish
ed slavery in Porto Rico, they have
taken the measures for its abolition in
Cuba. And they have rescinded all
embargoes in the Antilles, and have
ordered the immediate restoration
OF all property which has been seized
for political offences in Cuba. This
is an act of the highest importance,
and indicates the possession of extra
ordinary moral courage in the men
who have performed it. It is to. be
hoped for the interest of freedom and
Republioanism everywhere, that
their couDsels may be united and
their cause triumphant. -Repubh'

LITTLE sum IN ARITHMETIC.

The Hebrew Educational Society
School of New Orleans has been
the scene of a very rare, if no,
wholly unexampled, performance in
arithmetic. The problem was to
multiply by 8, and ls by Is, and
so, using each succeeding product
as its own multiplier until the opera
ton should be performed nine times.
how stupendous and discouraging
the work becomes after a few steps
are taken in the process, as any one
will find who makes the trial. For
several years a handsome premium
has been offered the patron of the
school just named for the pupil who
should first succeed in accomplishing
this feat of multiplication. At last
the task was completed, and the
prize, splendid silk dress, won by
Miss Sallie e. Solomon, sister Of
Mrs. A. Dalsheimer, after a patient
labor of three months. The work
comprises 263 numeral compounds
and 90, 900 figures, and the whole
covers four or FIVE square yards OF
paper. 1t is deserving of remark, in
this connection, that boys have made
less progress and show less persever-
ance in working this problem than
the girls.

DRY AND CRACKED FINGERS.

thing about, "dry and cracked fin

ing our hands. II was our own fault
that we had sore hands, as it is yours.
We finally learned to avoid the suf
tering by washing our hands clean
with CASTLE soap and hot water and
wiping them dry before exposing
them to the cold air. Before going
to bad at night we used to rub them
with glycerine and dry it before the
fire. We never had any trouble after
wards. II at our work we got our
hands wet when they are dirty, we
took pains to rub them dry as soon
as we could before exposing them to
