To Clean n Rusty PlOw.

Take quart ofwater and pour slow
ly into pint of sulphuric acid The
mixture will become quite warm from
chemical action, and this is the reason
why the acid should be poured slowly
into the water rather than water into
tie acid, and let it remain on the iron
until it evaporates. Then wash it
again. The object is to give the acid
time to Dissolve the rust. Then wash
with water and you will see where the
worst spots are. Apply some more
acid and rub on with brick. The
acid and the securing will remove
most of the rust. Then wash the
mouldboard thoroughly with water to
remove the acid, and rub it dry.
Brush it over with petroleum or other
oil, and let it be till spring.

Hong Chin Foo, a Chinese exile,
who has been educated in the Unit
ed States, has lectured in Roches-
ter. He said, that of all the people
the Chinese came in contact with,
the Americans were most liked.
While hundreds of young China
men were sent to this country to
be educated not one was ever sent
to England or France. The people
who came to this country, as a rule,
did not properly represent the
Chinese nation. They were low
and ignorant, and the treatment
they received here from the lower
class did not give them any compli
mentary or truthful character of
the American people. He explained
the reason why American mission
aries labor under such great disad-
vantages in China. lie said that
the Chinese had been taught by
Confucius to regard propriety of
conductas of the utmost Importance.
There was but one way for their
clothes to be fashioned. one way in
which to sit, stand. walk, and but
one formula to be observed in the
duties of life. In this country the
speaker had observed the utmost
freedom in these regards, and
Americans, taking their habits with
them to China, greatly shocked the
sensibilities of that nation. For
instance, they would speak to the
ladies and hand things to them
deeds which were gross insults in
their eyes. Then they would hold
conversation with people of the
lower classes, which effectually
debarred them from intercourse
with the upper circles of society.

The Democratic State Committee,
not being satisfied that Governor
Hendricks is entirely dead as Presi-
dental candidate, have decided to
print 100000 copies of his recent
speech for circulation. That will put
him out of his misery. BY the way,
the editor of the New York Sun will
not need copy. He has read it, and
says: "One of the great Democratic
candidates for the Presidency has lust
committed political suicide out in In
diana. We refer of course to Cover
nor Hendricks. Since his speech at
the recent State Convention his case
has been hopeless"

Like bright ray of pure light in
thick darkness is the womanly love
and confidence of Mrs. Beecher for
her husband. She says that if all the
women in the world were to swear he
was unfaithful, she would not believe
them. 1t is stated. by the way, that
she read all of Mrs. Tilton's letters to
Beecher before they went into her
husband hands, and that she knew
of their intimate friendship without
disapproving thereof.

According to writer in a New
Haven journal, 10000 sheep were kill
ed by dogs in New Haven county alone
during the three years between 1855
and 1861, and the result of this whole
sale destruction of sheep has been to
render lamb and mutton extremely
scarce in the market. and to double
the price asked for them.

SOLOMON RAY.

BY EUGENE j. HALL.
A hard, close man was Solomon Ray,
Nothing Of value he gave away;
He boarded and saved;
He pinched and shaved;
And the more he had the more he crayed.
The hard-earned dollars he toiled TO gain
Brought him little but care and pain;
For little he spent,
And all he lent
He made it bring him twenty per cent.
Such was the life Of Solomon Ray.
The years went by, and his hair grew gray,
His cheeks grew thin,
And his soul within
Grew hard as the dollars he worked to win.
But he died, one day, as all men must,
For life is fieeting and man but dust.
The heirs were gay
That laid him away,
And that was the end of Solomon Ray.
They quarreled now, who had little cared
For Solomon Ray while his life was spared
His lands were sold,
And his hard-earned gold,
All went to the lawyers, 1 am told.
Yet men will cheat, and pinch, and save,
Nor carry their treasures beyond the grave
All their gold some day
Will melt away
Like the selfish savings of Solomon Ray.

The eleventh resolution of the Dem
ocratic platform, unanimously adopted
Wednesday, says:
That we denounce as a wantOn
outrage upon the tax-ridden people Of
Indiana the increase of the State tax
by the last Republican Legislature.
from five cents to fifteen cents on the
Sl0O, at the same time changing the
rule of assessment so as to increase
the valuation of property almost fifty
per cent. That such an increase was
uncalled for by any public exigency,
and we demand the lowest State tax
that will support an economical ad-
ministration, not exceeding FIVE cents
on the 500"
Here are three assertions upon which
the Democratic policy Of taxation, so
far as the State administration is con.
cerned, is to rest, three blazes" to
mark the road. l. That a tax rate Of
| five cents on 500 was enough, when
the Republican Legislature of 1873
increased it to fifteen cents, and that
mo public exigency called for an in
crease" 2 That five cents is the ut
most tolerable limit, and it will fur
nish revunue enough for an econom-
ical administration. 3. That the
change in the mode of assessment.
which has increased the valuation of
property almost fifty per cent" is dis
tatetul to the Democracy, and will be
changed back to the old mode if that
party has the power, We propose to
test these assertions by facts and Off
cial figures, aud cordially invite the
attention Of the Democracy to our ex
animation We defy any of its organs
or orators to impeach single fact on
the deduction we make from it. The
challenge is a wide one, but we are
more than amply prepared to sustain
! it. If any Democrat thinks otherwise
let him enter into the . ring and try
round or two. The five cent;

THE reported execution of eleven
other robbers and horse thieves by the
uprising of the people in the frontier
counties of Brown and Comanche, Is
but another evidence of the extent to
which those people have so long suf-
fered by the depredations of organized
bands. Since the war II seems that
large numbers of such men have
sought the stock raising portions OF
Texas as a field of operations. The
people, until the last year or 50, being
so thinly scattered over that portion OF
the country, have been compelled /,
submit in patience to many outrages
BY having emigration they are now
much stronger, and seem determined
to act in concert for mutual protection.
The alternative is n dire one; but men,
however law-abiding, will make an
apology for those frontier people
which would not apply to old and
dense communities, where the majesty
of the law can be maintained hy the
civil authorities.
