to the Democratic party but to the aid Of
men who have heretofore been its oppo-

Theresa CorneIys.

From the Saturday Reviewl
1t is Just one hundred years since the
fortunes of Mrs. Theresa Cornelys began
to decline, and with them the glories of
Soho Square. Who remembers her now2
Yet she was once central figure in the
fashionable world of London. Her
house, now a pickle shop, was crowded
with princes, mobiles and fine ladies.
Her ballroom, now Romanist chapel,
was the headquarters of extravaganza
and gorgeous apparel. 1t was at one of
her masquerades that the beautiful
daughter of peer wore the costume of
an Indian princess. three black girls
bearing her train, canopy held over
her head by two negro boys, and her
dress covered with jewels worth one
hundred thousand pounds 1t was at
another that Adam, in hesh-colored
tights and an apron of 6g-leaves, was to
be seen in company with the Duchess of
Bolton as Diana. Death, in a white
shroud, bearing his own coffin and
epitaph; Lady Augusta Stuart as a
Vestal; the Duke of Gloucester, in an
old English habit, with star on his
cloak, and the Duke of Devonshire,
who was very fine, but in no particular
character all these, and others, passed
through the rooms; yet before many
years had gone by she was selling asses
milk at Knightsbridge, and in 1897 she
died in the Fleet prison, forming schemes
to the very last for retrieving her broken
fortunes.

rhe Leecn ponds of Holland.

Among the most singular sources Of
industrial production in the world, says
an English journal, are the leech ponds
of Holland. Most OF these are owned by
regularly organized company. The
marshes OF the land, which is moored
to its shore" are admirably adapted to
the unlimited cultivation of the leech,
and the trade in them is larger than is
imagined. A good fat leech, of powerful
suction. is not thing to be condemned.
Brooklein is the town most interested in
this strange trade, and owns stock in
the company mentioned above to the
amount of one million forms, and an
immense reservoir has been constructed
to breed millions of voracious leeches,
fine brown-black fellows, warranted to
hold on like Aquatic bulldogs. The
leech deposits its eggs from May to Sep
TENDER, in the mud or shallow waters,
from whence they are taken and trans
ferred to artificial ponds, constructed
expressly to hatch them. What will
make the experiment a profitable one is
the fact that the demand for leeches has
of late years exceeded the supply. The
marshes and streams of Central and
Southern Europe are nearly exhausted.
The Dutch leech is superior to the
Swedish, which is now most generally
usad

NoRrHRRN HLECrroNs,

The result Of the State elections held
yesterday in Ohio, Iowa, Indiana and
Nebraska indicate that the persistent
effort made to FIRE the Northern heart
and turn that to account against the
Democracy has been a failure. This
sustains what we expressed as conelu-
sion several weeks ago, namely, that the
people of the North and West have heard
this old song about the Ku-Klux just be-
fore every election since the war until
they look for it as matter of course.
1t is like Dan Rice's jokes, so familiar
that the crowd knows exactly what is
coming. The returns received to-day are
rather meagre to be sure, but sufficient
to show that the Democrats have gained
ground right under Mortons nose in
spite of his frantic endeavors to galvan-
ize his corrupt party into life of re-
newed bate. This news will fall like a
wet blanket about the shoulders of the
bowling carpet-baggers assembled at
Chattanooga. 1t will startle the Repub'
lcans of the whole country to find that
all their sound and fury" signifies moth
ing with the masses even in their own
ranks. twill stimulate the Democrats in
twenty-five States that hold elections on
the Sd of November to redouble their
efforts, and, above all, it gives hope to
the misrepresented and downtrodden
people of South Carolina, Alabama,
aud Louisiana that the days
of carpet-bag rule draws toward a GER
tain end, and that the eyes of the North
ern people are being opened to the enor-
mites practiced to perpetuate party
rule. After the persistent efforts of
Radical leaders and press to mis!ead the
rest of the country in regard to affairs
in the South and the means unscrupu-
lously employed, these elections give
great encouragement.

occasion Of such a demonstration.

About sun Flowers.

Sun flowers are rich in honey, and are
consequently good neighbors for bees.
Oil, hardly to be distinguished olive oil
by any one but an expert, many be ex-
tracted from the seeds, in the proper
ton of one gallon to one bushel. One
acre will produce something like fifty
bushels of seeds. The seeds, too, make
food not unpslatable for human beings,
and very good for animals and poultry.
The Portuguese and American Indians
make kind of bread from them, and
roasted they may be ground and used as
a substitute for coffee. The stalks may
be used as bean poles while growing.
Dry, they make passable roofs for sheds,
and burn rapidly on the hearth.
The ashes are very rich in potash.
Altogether it is a very useful plant, and
to crown all, it has a reputation which
the scientists have never disproved, for
absorbing malaria, and acting as an ef-
fectual screen against that scourge OF
low-lying districts--fever and ague.

Of 1000 thalers, which he had placed in

Normal school Again.

We are in receipt of a communication
from the Hon. William Kistler, to the effect
that Professor Wickersham will deliver an
address in the Court House at this place, on
the evening of the 18th Of this month, on
the Normal School question. This is an
enterprise of vast importance to this County
at large. All petty, selfish questions of
locality ought to be done away with, and the
place peculiarly suited to it, be by common
consent fixed upon. Our county ought to
have the Normal School of this District, and
and it can easily be secured if a generous
liberal spirit can be made to prevail among
our citizens Let all come out aud hear the
Professor on the subject, and then let us all
go to work with a firm resolve of pushing
the enterprise to q successful conclusion, with
out regard to locality, until after the stock is
all subscribed for, and then let the place be
selected by vote of the stockholders Who can
object to this democratic republican way of
settling the question?
