at all ,timss they will come into univer-
sal sympathy. Look at Italy. hope i
am not mistaken as to the cause of her,
unity. 1t was the Reds who preached
che gospel which made .ft possible. All
the reds of Europe, all the sworn devo-
tees of the mystic Mary Ann eat of the
common Vegetable. Their oatlls are
strong with il. It is the food also of the
common people of Italy. All the social
atmosphere of that delicious land is laden
with it. Its odor is a practical democracy.
In the churches all are alike; there is
one faith, one smell. The entrance Of
of Victor Emanuel into Rome is only the
pompous proclamation Of a unity which
garlic had already accomplished; and yet
we. who boast of our democracy, eat on
ions in secret Charles Dudley Warner.

all who intend to plant n crop and tend
it, should commence now. Farming, Mr..

In Onion Is Strength.

my garden and have them notice the adj
sencc of onions. 1t is very marked In
onion is strength; and q garden without
its lacks flavor. The onion in its satin
wrappings is among the most beautiful of
vegetables, and it is the only one that
represents the essence of things It can
almost be said to have n soul. You take
off coat after coat, and the onion is still
there: and when the last one is removed,
who dare say that the onion itself is dcs-
troyed, though you can weep over its de-
parted spirit? l know that there is sup
posed to bea prejudice againstthe onion

in rdghfd toit:
doubt not that all men and women
love the onion; but few confess their

people have days OH which they eat on

nature Of II religious ceremony, an Elcu-

one of the most pungent and penetrating
manifestations of the moral vegetable
world. Happy is said to be the family

Long Perry on a Big Scare.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Aug. 9, 1874

Supervisor Perry, of North Carroll
ma. arrived here this morning en- route
for Maine, where he will spend a few
weeks. He says the Civil Rights bill
is what killed the Republican party in
North Carolina, and comedies Demo-
cratic majority of 10000. Two years
ago, it will be remembered, this
official was the leader of the Republi-
can party in North Carolina, and or
ganized the State so as to secure q Re-
publican majority to affect the Presi-
Dental campaign in November, 1872.
The sudden change bewilders him,
and he thinks it would have been bet
ter had Congress disposed of the Civil
Rights measure. So great victory
on the part of the Democrats, he
fears, will encourage Illicit distilla-
ton, and lie will ask that military
posts be established in those parts of
the State where it has already been
suppressed.

DRY GOODS-There continues to
be fair demand from the country for
staple articles, and the indications are
favorable for an early beginning of
the Autumn trade. Prices are pretty
well established for leading cotton fab
RIGS; and there seems to be general
confidence that they will be sustained,
notwithstanding the general heaviness
in the market for the raw material,
and the steadily improving prospect
for good crop this season. Wooden
goods are not selling very much as
yet, but some jeans and fannels are
taken ct satisfactory prices. All re-
ports agree in representing stocks in
the country as unusually small, and the
inference is that there will necessarily
be an increased demand, especially as
the crops generally are good and people
will have means to supply their wants
as regards clothing, as we'll as pay up
their debts; the general failure of the
tobacco crop. however, will make
times rather hard in q considerable
part of the country which is CONNER
cially tributary to Cincinnati. There
is no change to note in prices Of lead
ing articles.
FREIGHTS-The supply of ship
room during the week has not been
equal to the demand for berths. A
limited number of vessels for foreign
charter will receive the highest rates
pnid. Coastwise freights are unchang-
ed. See table below.

The grasshopper is now announced
as committing ravages in New Hamp-
shire. He has appeared in Boscawen,
Canterbury, franklin and other towns
and has made serious raids upon the
hay crop, which, in that locality, has
not yet been harvested. They also
devour the corn stalks and iniuro the
fruit trees. The extent Ct this incur
sion is not very well defined, but the
invasion is probably quite limited in
area, while its destructive results, as
in the case OF Minnesota, may be set
down as eXaoeerated.
