ScSSiOu, d COuGTOll1uS QeSIFe on tn0 part OF
many Of the most eminent representatives, to
enact some measure which should placate the
West and insure Republican majority in the
44th Congress.
Now 1 have frequently noticed that when
public men are governed by motives of expedi-
ency merely, they are apt to err in the choice of
means for promoting their ends. Hence, / am
ready to adopt the theory that while our friends
have striven to do a real good by consenting to
adeviation from the infiexible rule of right,
which no temptation ought to induce them to
swerve from, they have made mistake in the
NATTER looking at it merely from the stand
point of political sagacity. ] conceive it to be
an absolute impossibility that the people of the
West should long continue to entertain if
they do now, opinions upon political economy,
which are Numerically opposed to their inter-
ests and to common sense. Therefore it ap-
pears to me the wisest, as well as the only hon
est course, for the Republican party to plant
itself steadfastly on the specie-payment plat
form; to defend and maintain the national
credit against every attack whether open or in
sidous; to take the responsibility of adopting
such financial policy as shall bring the coun-
try to the coin standard at an early day; and to
accept the Presidents suggestions as to the
mode in which these great objects can be &C.
complshed most surely and most speedily
! would not like to be understood as sanction
ing the principle that the policy of party
should be regulated by the chances of success.
That is very narrow, short-sighted and indie
feasible view to to take of public duty. On
questions where the line betwixt right and
wrong is drawn with entire distinctness, no
considerations of political advantage will palli-
ate the least turning aside from the direct path.
If there ever was an instance in which duty
andinterest led to the same goal it would seem
to be IN dealing with the problem of national
finance. 1 find, to be sure, a great variety of
opinions as to how we are to get to hard
money basis, but virtual unanimity of sent-
ment in respect to the disturbances of doing

A Nighs. Surprise.

The Pail Mall Gazette says: The
ancient fortress of ofLuciensteig, the only
one maintained by the Swiss Fedora
ton, which has sustained some hard
knocks in its time from French and
Austrians, was carried the other night
by q sudden surprise. This may seem
strange to report in q time OF profound
peace. but the treacherous foe on this
occasion, as we learn by letter OF q
Swiss officer then in the place, was 8
branch of the Nayenfeld stream, which
descends the hill near, and which had
been partly choked before the recent
inundations occurred. On the night In
question it became suddenly and
violently swollen, and diverting its
course from the proper bed, made
straight for the fort, the barracks inside
which were full of militia An alarm
was given, but the officers, who were
auartered on the ground floor. turned
out only Just in time to escape by
wading break high through the flood to
the rampant. As the water kept gain
ing on the drains which should have
carried it of, it was necessary to take
instant measures in order to save the
property within.-For.unately, part OF
the temporary garrison (Which, In fact,
was formed by a summer military
school, such as the Swiss militia use
for their training) was a company OF
engineers, and their tools were accessi-
BILE. They were set at once to cut an
opening through the rampant, but did
not succeed in clearing it till the flood
had risen nearly to the height of the
masonry, which was soon turned into a
regular breach at the point selected, as
the water poured off through the new
channel. This done, the threatened
barracks were relieved for the time with
no more loss than that of some live
stock and furniture. The water had,
done its work of mischief iOr
the time so thoroughly that the
Colonel in command moved the school
of instruction away to Wallenstadt until
the necessary repsirs should be effected
and the channel of the invading torrent
so effectively cleared as to prevent any
repetition Of its erratic performance.

Miscellany.
The Big BrOIiier.

All, me but l feel to pity the boy
who passed through his childhood and
youth and didn't have ga big brother
to lean upon. My big brother is old
and gray headed now, and L am up in
my thirties, but don't We both remem-
Der those olden days?
He was eight when ! was five. The
door-yard was my domain, but he could
wander over to Edson's creek, go down
to the saw mill and up to the winter
green patch, and when he returned /
looked up to him as one who had
Travelled and viewed the whole world.
A feeling of awe came over me when he
made cross gun and chipmunk trap,
and when l heard him tell about going
in swimming, skating and fishing,
wondered why he wasn't man, for L
was certain that he knew more than
father.
When / grew older it was my big
brother who helped me over logs and
fences, who picked thistles out of my
bare feet, and who carried a club on
his shoulder and looked very brave as
we skirted the woods at sundown in
search of the cows. We never had any
quarrels. He was big and l was little,
and he used to give up to me. He made
my bow and arrows, showed me how to
make whistles of dandelion stems, and
when / didn't dare to cross a pasture
for fear of three sheep and an old blind
horse, he respected my feaTs and led
me half mile around.
And we got further along in years
and stole chances TO run away and go
in swimming, it was my big brother
who whipped my hair dry with a stick,
so that mother shouldn't suspect u.s.
If an unlucky throw of mine broke a
pane of glass, he sbouldered three
quarters of the blame, and he taught
me to ''holler loud" when mother COM
menced to whip, so that she would
strike fewer blows under the idea that
l was being badly hurt. He knew the
best places to fish, the choicest apple
tree, the spot to look for quail's nests,
the time to be on the lookout for hick-
ory nuts, and if ever be planned to get
up before daylight to go off with the
other boys, leaving me asleep, he be-
came conscience-stricken before he was
dressed, and shook me awake.
When Bill Tyler was going to thrash
me, it was my big brother who laid him
out. When Put" Tyrrell objected to
my going rabbIt-hunting with the
crowd, it was my big brother VINO
bluffed him off. We killed snakes to-
gether, hunted hens eggs, climbed
trees, played ''pull-away" and "barn-
ball" alone, and the long, long years
and the gray hairs have made no differ
ence with our hearts.

Literary Curiosity.

A Hungarian exile, DR. Gabor Naphe-
gyi, has Just executed a very curious
and beautiful piece of chirography in
tended as a letter of coincidence to Mrs.
Taylor, relict of the late President.
The whole work was done with pen
and ink, on a sheet of paper 8 feet long
by broad. 1t contains eighteen poet
ical inscriptions, in as many different
languages, and likeness of General
Taylor, in which outlines of the face
and whole persons are formed of writ
ten portions of the biography and sem
timents of the deceased. His hair is
composed of the words, so disposed as
at a little distance to appear quite nat
ural ''In the battlefield amidst the
sound of cannon, the drums and trum-
pets, the hurrahs of the siege, and the
sighs of the wounded, my locks became
whitened."
The eyes, viz. "My glance was ever
forward-to the Father In Heaven, and
for the Republic"
The nose is composed of the follow
ing words: 'I breathed the air of lib
erty-in any other air could not ex-
ist."
The mouth is composed Of the fol-
lowing words: 81 have always endeav-
ored to do my duty. 1 am not afraid
to die"
The neck: "Not proud, only in be-
ing son of the republic"
The shoulders "With pleasure /
have borne the great duties with which
the nation has so greatly honored me-"
The rest of the portrait is filed up
in similar manner, and surrounded
by likeness of Washington, Tell, Fred
erick Barbarossa, Alexander the Great,
Draco and others. The whole is signed
by the President and members of both
Houses of Congress and is to be pre-
sented in the form Of memento from
them to the widow of Gen. Taylor.

LOVES CHOICE.

Do you remember. dear, my love,
Our parting in the twilight-lane,
When brighter than the stars above
Your eyes shone through the dewy rain.
And made me say goodbye again,
And held me, that could not moves
Too fond to grieve, too sad TO smile;
l yielded to their silent power
And was it but breathing while,
Or WAS it through spell-bound hour.
] kissed your face, an upturned flower,
Whose sweetness did my soul beguile?
And then said Farewell my sweet
The hour has come and we must part;
But. through the long years ere we meet
Which will you bear within your heart
To comfort you when depart
Remembrance, or oblivion feet?
A memory of all the bliss
That made the flying hours SO bright,
From the first timid, trembling kiss
dared TO give you one dear night,
Lost in a vision of delight.
Down to the perfect joy of this !?
''-Forgetfulness Of all the pain
That happiest lovers learn to know
The doubts that come and come again.
The haunting fears that viii not go,
The vague faint chill presaging woe,
Unconquered by loves proud disdain
Which would you have, sweet? Now Dc
eide
Forgotten pain, remembered jOv;r
''Ah, dearest" then YOU said, and sighed
Loves pain is but brief annoy,
But rich delights that never cIoy
Are to his memcries allied.
Then bid my heart loves joy retain,
And sum felicity in this.
That all its treasures still remain:
And till we meet and live again.
You shall forget loves passing pain,
A3d III remember all its bliss.

CONDENSATION N STEAM CYLINDERS. -
By the use of lead facings to pistons
and cylinder lids, considerable econ
omy in the use of steam may be effected.
An iron lid and piston will, other things
being equal, condense more than three
times as much steam as a lead-faced
piston and lid. The thickness of metal
heated and cooled at each stroke is not
considerable. and not far into the
metal, zone of constant temperature,
lower than that of the steam. will be
found. The distance from this zone to
the inside of the cylinder will depend
on the conducting power of the metal,
and will be about 9 for lead to II for
iron. 1t may be shown that, in any
case, the thickness of the lead facing
may be kept within very moderate
limits. Other materials may be used
for the same purpose, as for instance,
tin, the specific heat of which is 5G2,
its specific weight being a little less
than that Of iron, being is Is is to u.
Slate or hard pottery ware might also
be employed, but on the whole the
balance OF advantage appears to lie
with lead.

CARE Or MoULTING FowLs.-The
season for moulting depends somewhat
on the age of the fowl /; yet this cannot
always be depended upon, as some
birds moult at an earlier age than others
August and September are the months
to watch your moulting and com para
lively naked fowls. Be sure and house
them all night feed upon stimulating
food see to it that they are well sup
piled with fresh water, and grass run
if possible, as it is the most critical
time with poultry. Too much care
cannot be taken for their comfort.
Roup and many other diseases origi-
nate in the system in consequence of
severe colds taken in the moulting
season, and which often destroy the en-
tire flock the following winter. Be
sure your fowls so to their winter quar-
ters In healthy condition and with
proper care no fear need be entertained
of sickly birds.

Our NEw GOLD REGI0S.-The prac-
teal results of General Clusters expe-
dition in Southwestern Dakota are
beginning to appear. This hitherto
unknown region, as far as entered, has
proved to be covered with magnificent
timber and grazing, superior even to
the famous Blue Grass country, in
Kentucky. The valleys are admirably
adapted to agricultural purposes, and
the scenery is said to be lovely beyond
description. In addition to these ma
tural advantages of the country, gold,
it is stated, is being found in great
profusion, though no official investiga-
ton as 70 its richness has thus far been
made. Veins of what geologists term
clearing quartz" crop out on every
hillside, and from forty to fifty PARTICLES
of pure metal, each as large as a pin
head, have been taken from the wash
ings of little over a single pan of
earth. II the further reports from the
expedition prove as satisfactory as this
first one, another gold fever and rush
of emigrants to preempt land will be
very probable.

BREEDING Sows-A correspondent
makes the following remarks on breed
ing sows /: One most important point
is to keep the animals undIsturbed for
some weeks before littering. You can
hardly manage worse than to disturb
them at such times, or weeks before
hand. 1t is very common to separate
the sows from the other hogs after it is
well ascertained that they will want the
straw. 1t is not prudent to fret them
for month before littering. Sows that
run at large where they can hide away
from all observers seldom fail to get a.
long well. You never hear of their
over laying their pigs or eating them.
Breeders in pens ought to have large
pens. They have a craving appetite
for meat at such times, and will some
times eat their pigs. To prevent this
let them have some salt pork. / con-
slider the above all important in the
successful breeding of sows.

Mr.. J. S. Phene, F. s. A., has opened
a number of mounds in Scotland,
which, it appears, served as tombs for
the early inhabitants. These tumuli
are of exactly the same construction as
the similar heaps found in Mexico.
Some served as monuments and in
one opened at Largo, Scotland. were
discovered particles of bone calcined
and mingled with debris. Evidence
has been found that there the Morse
king, Haco, after his great battle with
the Scots in 1868, ordered the ships
stranded on the shore to be burned.
The bodies of the dead were thrown
into the burning pile, together with
armour, etc. and when all was con-
sumed, the mound was formed from the
ashes.

ANSATro.-In the two French colo
MES of Martinique and Cayenne, there
are more than SIX thousand acres under
culture with annatto (biGa oreliana),
the annual produce being three million
pounds. Although French Guiana has
nearly five times the extent of land
under culture with this plant that
Guadaloupe has, it only produces about
two thirds of the whole quantity. The
production of annatto now exceeds the
demand, as no fresh use has been found
for this coloring substance, unless it is
the manufacture of suet butter. An
natto is used to give the yellow color
of true butter.

RIPENING FRUu.-Acting upon the
principle that renewal of the earth i'm.
mediately surrounding the roots in
creases their activity and accelerates
the maturing of all parts of the plant,
Including the fruit, Mr.. Stall removes
the earth about an early pear tree
eight weeks before the normal period
of ripening, for space of thirteen to
fifteen feet in diameter, and to such an
extent as to leave depth of earth over
the roots of only about two to four
inches, which could be thoroughly
warmed by the sun. He was surprised
not only by the ripening of the fruit in
the middle of July, but also by its su-
perior iuiciness and flavor. In another
experiment the removal of the earth
from the north side of a tree alone
caused the fruit on that side to ripen
several days earlier than that on the
south side. Frequent watering was of
course necessary IN the above expert
ment.

EGGs FOR SETTING.-An English ag-
ricultural paper says that eggs inten-
ded for setting should be stored with
the large end down, because the air
bubble does not spread SO much as
when the small end is down-this speak
ing of the air bubble being known to
affect the freshness and vitality of the
egg. Eggs stored with the large end
down, will keep perfectly good for
Matching more than a month, while the
others cannot be depended on after two
weeks.
