1t is somewhat amusing to notice
the great rejoicing in which the Dem
ocrsts indulge over the recent cleo
tons, seemingly taking it for granted
that it Oetokens a brighter day for
their party. We apprehend that if
they would just reckon up their ac-
counts they would find the balance
due them to be very small indeed.
1t is true that they will have the con-
troll of affais in New Hampshire for
the coming year, but not from the
peoples choice falling there by a
direct vote.
In Connecticut they have not i'm
proved affairs for themselves during
the last year. In 1873 they elected
their Candidate for Governor, by a
majority of over 5000. This year
their majority in the same State is
less than 2000. In Rhode Island
and in the town elections in some
other States the Republicans have
lost ground. But this can in part be
accounted for by the increase in the
Temperance party, which has drawn
its increase almost entirely from the
Republicans. The summing up of
the case amounts to this The Repub-
licans, not in favor of certain perfom-
ances of politicians at Washington,
have not bro't out their full strength,
while the Temperance men, under
the unusual agitation of the temper
ance question, have appeared at the
polls in force, and between these two
parties they have given the election
into the hands Of the Democrats. 1t
is no less true that the people are dis
satisfied with the management Of af-
fairs at Washington of late. But
can any one be so dull as to suppose
that the Democrats would do any
better if they were in power? If so,
why did they not shcw their purity by
keeping out of the Credit Mobilier af-
fair? If so, why were they so eager
to participate in the Salary Grab?
and lastly why do they not repudiate
the Initiation of Currency Bill? If
there is any reason which would en-
title the Democratic party to the con
tidence Of the people, we would like
to know Of what it consists.

Mr. Robert B. Elliott, the colored
Member Of Congress, from South Car
DINA, has made a statement intended
for the press concerning the condi-
ton Of affairs in his State. 1t is a
plea of q colofed man in behalf of his
race, clothed. as it is in South Caro-
lima, with the grave responsibility OF
managing public affairs without the
education and experience that is need
ed to prepare any race for the
wise exercise Of that RESPONSE
bility. He admits that there has
been lack of wisdom, and it would
be a miracle if there had not, but de-
clares that the report Of the delegation
from the Taxpayers Convention of
the deplorable state of things there
was greatly exaggerated. No doubt,
the old slaveholding element, depriv-
ed Of power and Inundated as it is,
considers it an outrage in itself that
the negroes should have the control of
affairs, and would fnd it hard to adj
NIT that their management was any
thing bat the worst conceivable. On
the other hand, Mr.. Elliott is inclined
to claim for the colored people Of his
State rather more than was reasona-
bly, to be expected Of them. 1t is
pretty certain that their administrl l.
ton of public affairs has been charac-
terized by ignorance and extrava
gance, though less than was naturally
to be expected, and that the intclli-
gent, educated, property-owning pco-
pie of the State have not that voice in
the direction Of affairs that their i'm
portance and their interests entitle
them TO. 1t is we'll to hear both sides
and correct the statements Of one by
those Of the other. 1t is only thus
that we can get at the truth.

At present our mills do not supply a
sufficient amount Of wooden yarn to
make our stockings, and hardly
enough to mend them. 4 large
amount of uncultivated land at prices
ranging from five to ten dollars per
acre, healthy climate, soil unsur-
passed for richness and fertility, free
schools-all these invite hundreds to
torsake the crowded cities and find
homes IN our midst. Particularly at
this time there is room for the cap.
italist to invest in manufacturing.
In regard to the different grades of
wool, this county is best adapted to
producing there is much diversity of
opinion. While | have high opin-
ion of both kinds of the American
Marinoes l thing the Cotswold is
preferable for large focks, on account
Of its universal hardness and the
superior worth of its mutton which
is nearly as much of an object to
farmers near large cities as tie wool
Sheep are not allowed to run at large,
but are generally herded by a boy
with pony and a shepherd dog, and
in this way boy of dozen years
can attend to a great many. At night
the sheep are driven into an enclosure,
something that is proof against dogs
and prairie wolves. Night and morn
ing the sheep are counted. BY taking
different direction, each day,
change or pasture is secured and
large flocks are kept together with no
bad effect. But as 1 have written more

present. II. WI.

The attempts that are made in Con

The attempt9 that are made in Con-
gress to regulate the volume of cur
rency and to provide a system Of free
banking, afford an edifying illustra-
ton Of the process OF hitching the
cart in front of the horse. The vol
anne of currency cannot possibly be
regulated in accordance with tho de-
nnands of business until it is redeema-
bile in specie, for no man can tell
what amount of currency is needed
when that currency is not founded on
value. Make it convertible with coin
end have coin On hand for its radcmp-
ton, and it will become an easy mat
ter to regulate it. If there is too
much it will be thrown into the Treas
nry for redemption; if there is not
enough, some of the coin will be
brought into circulation and the lack
is supplied. The convertjbiiity will
furnish the elasticity about which
there it so much senseless parting,
and it is the only thing that will fdrn-
lsh it. SO long as the currency is ir-
redeemable, what is needed is not an
ascertainablc quantity. An increase
in volume is merely a dilution. Give
Us a basis Of specie, and regulate the
volume Of paper currency afterwards,
when the amount needed is capable
of being determined.
So with banking. Lay founda-
ton for substantial system of bank
ing, and then frame your system.
Now it has nothing to stand on. Bank
ing that doesn't rest on the redemp-
ton of its notes is wrong-actual
money and not sham MONEYS like
a house floating in the water. 1t has
no stability, and people have little
confidence in it. They are forced to
at when they have no other but it
subjects them to constant inconven-
fence and loss, anl puts them in dan
ger of utter disaster. Give us specie
payments, and then devise q system
of banking.-Gtobe.

NUMBER TWO.
A Singular Aged Man.

Not far from seventy years ago an
aged man resided in GuilGhall by the
name of Amy. When young he had
been a soldier in the old French war,
and was at the siege of Cape Britain.
Though at the time when the writer
was Il child he was about four score
years old, he was able to labor some
and could walk with ease, yet he had
no power of recollecting the events
of the day, or the names Of his chill
dren. When the son with whom he
lived came into the house he would
frequently inquire who it was. But
what was very singular, he retained
a knowledge of the events of his ear
ly life, when a soldier, and the seige
in which he hal been; and would
give as intelligent an account of the
transactions as any person could have
done. The old songs of "The Chill,
dren in the Wood" Cheney Chase"
and many others, he would sing with
a clear voice and with deep emotion.
When he had finished singing one of
these songs he would ask any one
who was present, "Dld you ever hear
the song of The Children in the
Woo? p" or some other he had just
sung.
l was frequently at the house (his
son married my sister) and heard him
sing the same song perhaps half
dozen times in a day. He would
make the inquiry Of any who were in
the room whether they ever heard it,
and then begin again to sing it.
In all my acquaintance with aged
people | have never found any one
who developed so singular trait
He was sometime, requested by my
sister to go to near neighhor's to
borrow something's and would some
times do it by constantly repeating
the name of the article; but if he
met person on the way he would
forget and often turn back without
doing the Grand. He would fire.
quently ask when dinner or breakfast
would be ready, Immediately after
he had taken that meal. He would
repeat portions Of the Bible which he
had learned when young, but if Bi.
bic was put into his hands he would
ask, "What book is this?" and often
say, II never saw it before" He
would perform some kinds of labor
as the chopping Of wood, but if he
had cut log partly off would not
know how to turn it over and finisl
the work. No one of his children
ever developed any similar propen
slty, though no one OF them evel
lived to so great age. SENEX.

For the Essex County Herald
Wool Culture in Kansas.

Thinking perhaps u few words in
relation to sheep farming in Kansas
might be of interest to some Of your
readers, | have written something
in regard to its prospects.
There is perhaps no section Of the
United States that offers to the sheep
farmer advantages superior to those
of this State. The climate is dry
and warm, as general thing, and al
most all that could be desired. Oc-
cAsionally an east storm in the spring
might be bad on lambs falling at
that time, but the usual temperature
even during spring is good. There
is at this time some interest felt
throughout this part Of the State IN
regard to raising sheep, although but
little is being done at present, but
what focks. there are go as proofs Of
the favorable character Of the soil,
climate, and pasture for sheep farm
ing. There are very few sheep dis
eases indigenous to the country.
Sheep are never troubled with the
foot-rot here as they are where it is
damp, moist land. The scab is but
little known and very small amount
of care will preserve IL flock entirely
free from disease. The want Of adj
equate shelter, is by some persons
considered serious impeachment to
the success Of the wool grower.
Pine lumber is high, or at least quite
expensive for any thing like extensive
stabling, which would be required by
the owner Of large docks. But shelter
is furnished in many places by timber,
and very good, too, and besides this
temporary sheds or pens can be and
are constructed Of rails and covered
with straw OF paririe hay, and are OF
great utility and may supply the place
Of better protection until circumstan-
ccs enable the farmer to add elegance
to use in the erection of better build
ings furnished with troughs for grain
racks for hay, and all the appliances
that ensure economy in food ant
comfort.
The prairies yield an abundant and
highly nutritious pasturage, and the
same grass cured makes excellent foot
for winter. There are at the present
time an almost unlimited range fol
.locks and herds in this State, and q,
it costs nothing for pasturage, and
but very little for hay, wool can be
raised at very good profit, even at
small prices but wool always sell,
reasonably well here compared will
the prices in the East. We wan
manufactures. Wooden mills woult
help the producer, and not only those
that raise wool, but those that wear it

DIR. LoTHRoP AND DANCING

DIR. LoTHRoP AND DANCING. A
better story than the many told of
West Springield's eccentric person,
Rev. DR.. Lothrop, at the centennial
gathering, last week, is told by Rev.
Mr.. Nightingale of Grotton, Mass.
If it is not true it is good enough to
be, not only iB itself but in the tell
ing: A young lady who was a mem
Der Of DR.. Lothrop's church went on
visit to a neighboring town and
while there attended party and
danced. Tidings Of her sill reached
home before her. On her return she
was visited and called to most
severe account for the disgrace she
had thus brought upon herself and
upon the church, and which had been
found out, Notwithstanding it had
been done among strangers. One
staid maiden was specially earnest in
her rebukes and made the poor girl
fael very bad. "What shall | do?'
she asked. "You had better 90 and
sec DR.. Lothrop." She did go, and
told him all about it. "And so
my dear, you went to the party and
danced, did you" he said. "Yes
sir" "And did you have good timer
"Yes, sir" swell, am glad Of it
and hope you will go again anC
enjoy yourself, And now | want
you to tel me the name Of the woman
who has been making you oil thi,
trouble" She told, $50 to thai
woman and tell her for me, that i
she wants TO get to heaven she ha(
better make more use Of her feet apt
