Home Interests.

An exchange, in speaking Of home
interests, truth(ulIy says:
"Whcn you get in a tight place FOR
some article Of family use and havn't
just got the money by you to pay for
it, you often get accommodation from
the merchant or mechanic of your
town or ncighborhood, who waits TIL
it is convenient for you to pay for IT.
But then again, when you have some
funds on hand, do you think OF Tins
and 90 and spend your money with
those who accommodated you, and
thus keep your home currency in cir,
culation where it ought to t.y! or 40
you make up an order, getting others
perhaps to join you, and forward the
cash to a distant city, to swell the cot
fers Of those from whom you never
derive any benefit or favor? This
course will react on you if you do so.
Each class is dependent on the other,
to some extent, for mutual benefits,
and patronage should be bestowed on
those upon whom you are dependent
for patronage. In that way you are
building up an interest from which
you may some day derive something
in return, no matter what your bust
ness may he. 1t is better even to pay
a little more for m article sometimes
than to be draining your section of its
circulating medium by sending off to
foreign parts. If others would serve

The fall elections settle the fact tina
the political complexion of the Senate
will be changed in March, 1877, in IA
vor of the opposition to the Rcpnbli-
cans. IL is now certain that at least
five Of the places which are to be made
vacant by the retirement of Republican
Senators at the end OF the 4lth Con-
gross will he filed by Democrats or
Independents, and the chances are that
the numbers may be even greater. so
that even if the Republicans should
succeed in electing the next President.
they will not have n Senate to sustain
him in his aets.-[N. Y. Sun.

The attempt to revive the third term
project receives this vigorous repulsc
from the Philadelphia Inquirer: "ThC
Republican party has placed itself fair
" before the country in connection
with the third term business, and the
leading Republican States, among them
Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and
Massachusetts, have, through their
State Conventions, declared against
the third-term project in language so
decisive rs to render n third term for
any President simply impossible. They
have settled that question; i, is dead
rs dead can be, and no number OF
kitchen organs or any other sort OF
organs can ever bring it to life again,
no matter what tunes they play, or
how loud they play them. The thing
is dead beyond rcsuscitation, and bur
led beyond chance of resurrection"

Postmaster General JEWELS annual
report shows an excess of expenditures
over receipts of about $4,000, 600, but
as large additional mail facilities have
been furnished to the public this might
be expected. Mr.. Jewell recommends
a return to the old rate of one cent.
for each two ounces of third-class mail
matter, aud Mr.. Hannibal Hamlin, WHO
has recently rcpented of the part he
took in pushing through the law of last
spring, will doubtless admit the cor.
rcctncss of this recommendation.

Personal Property.

An Irishman had sold his farm, and
moved all his personal property to one
adjoining, which he had purchased.
He claimed that stable manure was
personal properly, and not real estate,
and commenced to move the same. A
law suit cnsued, and the court declared
against him. His final remarks to the
Judge, after the jury had found Il yer.
dict against him, were rs follows:
MIR. Judge, u horse and o are
personal property"
"Ycs," answered the Judge.
"Mr. Judge, corn, oats and hay, are
personal property 7"
"Yes," responded the Judge,
"Then," said Pat, show in the devi
"a personal property cat persona

Mr.. Stephens, of Georgia, having adj
yised Senator Gordon that Gen. Grant
was not the vulnerable point Of the
Radical party, but that he was popular
with the masses of the Northern peo-
pie, the Chicago Times says in the
connection: Grant is by no means so
popular as Mr.. Stephens supposes. He
has never challenged admiration as n
Statesman, he has committed numerous
blundcrs, and his name is pretty init
matcly associated with the worst lea
lures of Republican policy, and the
most questionable of Republican prsc-
tices since March, 1869. The rcnomi-
uation Of Grant would defeat the Re
publican party, and it is not likely that
anything else can. To refrain from
abusing Grant would, therefore, be
good Bourbon policy, If it would in
snre lis denomination, otherwise not"

The New York Nation, in a recent

Happy Husbands.

1t is q mans own fault if he is I'M
happy with his wife, in nine cases out
Of ten. The great men Of this world
have been wrctched in their domestic
relations, while common men have
been exceedingly happy. Absorbed in
themselves, those who desire the
worlds applause were careless Of the
little world at home; while those who
had none Of this cgotism strovc to
keep the hearts that were their own,
and were happy in their tenderness.
No woman will love a man the better
for being renowned and prominent.
Though he be the first among men,
she will he proudcr, not fonder and ii
she loses him through his renown, rs it
is often the case, she will not eve be
proudcr. But give her love, apprecia-
ton, kindness, and there is no satri-
fee she would not make for his Con
tent and comfort. The man wlo
loves her well is her king and hero.
No less a hero to her though he is not
10 any other; no less a king, though
his Kingdom is her heart and home.
Were there no agricultural labor,
everybody would staryc. Were there
no manufacturing labor, everybody
would be frozen. Were there no
labor employed in transporting com.
modjtics from place to place, no one
COull enjoy any ConvCnIcnccs except
what he had produced himself; that
is, though with great industry and sui
IorIng u few persons might live, yet
they Would be but few, and these few
would be miscrably poor. Hence, we
see how uuwiso it is for any jealousy
to exist between the farmer, the me-
chanic, and the merchant. All arc
equally necessary to each one, and
each one is necessary to both the
others.
