comes back in this characteristic style:
VIZ will inform our neighbor that on
the 10Th Of last month we we're seventy
years old. When the painful duty de-
volved upon US of writing the obituary
of the late ex-President johnson, we mad
lived to speak kindly of the virtues of the
last survivor Of the large number Of poll.
ticians in Tennessee whom we encoun-
tered and fought on our advent into pub
lie life That the Lord has been SO mer-
ciful to US, and so long preserved us in
the midst offgreat dangers in prison and
out of it, we, in part, attribute to the fact
that we never voted the Democratic
ticket. We we're first D Federalist, then
a Wing, o a Republican, and, by the
blessing of God, we stand ready to op-
pose anything or anybody appearing un.
der the guise Of States Rights-Repudiat-

Watch" is from a Saxon word, signi.
flying " to wake" At first the watch was
as large as a saucer; it had weights, and
was called the pocket clock" The
e~arliest known use Of the modern name
occurs in a record Of 1912, which mem
tons that Edward vi had enne larum
or watch Of iron, the ease being likewise
Of ~iron-gilt, with two plumettes Of lead. "
The FIRST great Improvement, the substi-
tuition Of the spring for weights, was
made about 1850. The earliest springs
were not coiled, but only straight pieces
Of steel. Early watches had only one
hand, and required winding twice a day;
The dials we're OF silver or brass; the
cases had no crystals, but opened at
back aud front, and we're four or FIVE
inches in diameter. A plain watch cost
the equivalent of $500 in our currency,
and after one was ordered it took o year
TO make it. There is a watch in a Swiss
museum only hree-sixteenths OF an inch
in diameter, inserted in the top Of a pen
Gil case, Its little dial indicates not only
hours, minutes and seconds, but also
days of the month. It is q relic Of the
old times, when watches were inserted
in saddles, snuf-boxes, shiftstHds,
breastpins, bracelets and finger rings.
Many we're fantastic-oval, octangular,
cruciform or in the shape Of pears, mel.
ons, tulips or collins.

As the Ohio canvas wakes hotter and
hotter it becomes evident that the Dem
ocrats wilbsweep the State. The Repub-
licans, however. are making a desperate
struggle. This is almost life and death
with them, and money, fraud, bribery
and falsehood, and all manner of con-
temptible trickery will be, and is, daily
used to break the force and organization
Of the Democratic party. They know
that defeat in Ohio is humiliation all
over the country. Money from Wash
ington Cilyis freely furnished and the
Administration watches every incident
with the keenest interest. All the force
and energy of the party will be brought
to bear, but as this is a struggle between
the people and bondholding politicians,
in which the former are thoroughly
aroused, we expect the people to carry
the day.

and shall never regret that determination. AS a

MARKETING CATTLE.

There has one time or another been
great deal Of both humane and common
sense, and sound business principle vio-
lated In the treatment of cattle. from the
time they leave the country to be sent to
market until they are disposed of. Some
times they have been treated to an exces-
sively large feed of corn, SO as to heat
them up and make them drink water ex-
cessively. thus giving the seller good
weights when the animals are sold. some
times they have been well saited for the
purpose Of stimulating the drinking pro-
cess. Sometimes cattle have arrived in
our yards after good run on the cars,
and have been ordered off from water and
kept on hay, and sometimes corn, until
Monday morning, when they are expect
ed to drink an amount of water that will
weigh at least fifty or sixty pounds per
head against the buyer. Quite number
of cattle, one time or another that have
been thus treated, have died in the yards,
or before they reach the eastern market
after being shipped. All abuses of this
kind need reformation. for the very good
reason it is both inhuman and impolite to
treat animals in this way. Honesty is the
best policy every good cattle buyer knows
at glance Just the condition that cattle
are in for weighing, and he will always
make his price accordingly--so that in
nine cases out Of ten, while the owner of
cattle treated in the manner referred to
may congratulate himself on having
gained fifty to sixty pounds per head
in the weight of his lot, the buyer has
really taken the difference off in the price
he has given. Just as he ought to do in ev-
cry case of the kind.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS,

~ In making frosting for cake or puddings
-aiiftle lemon Juice, tartaric acid or cream
eftaatar is a very pleasant addition to the
taste, besides making the frosting much
lighter.
In cooking oai meal, hominy. wheaton
grits, cracked wheat, or any OF those nice
breakfast dishes. cook it in tin dish set
in kettle of boiling water. In this man.
ner there is no danger OF scorching.
Corn starch pudding, sea moss, farina
and all other articles mixed with milk can
be cooked in the same way.
In roasting poultry, one thickness OF
writing or nice brown wrapping paper
tied round the wings and drumsticks will
keep them from being baked to crisp
and spoiled.
Vegetables should never be cooked in
iron pots unless the latter are enameled
or otherwise coated internally.
A correspondent writes to the Scientific
American that the worst tooth or neural
gia coming from the teeth, may be speed
lily and delightfully."- ended by the applica-
tiOn of a small bit Of cotton. saturated in
strong solution of ammonia, to the defec-
tive tooth. Sometimes the late sufferer
is provoked to momentary nervous laugh
ter by the application, but tie pain has
disappeared.
There is rarely, if ever any need OF
using soap on the face. except for dirty
people, or skin. Pure soft water is gen
orally quite sufficient. AS rule. avoid
the free use of soap on the skin, except
the mildest kinds. Face powders injure
the face just as dirt does, by obstructing
the pores. If there is any poison in the
face powder, as there often is, it only adds
poison to the dirt, and makes the matter
80 much the worse.
To- any quantity of glue use common
whiskey instead Of water. Put both to-
gether in bottle; cork tight. and set it
away for three or four days. 1t will then
be found handy and useful article in
every household.
Kerosene oil is good for removing rust
from cutlery.
Soft soap should be kept in dry place
in o cellar, and should not be used for
three months after it is made.
Lard should be kept hard and white
and that which is taken from hog over
year old is the best.
To select nutmegs, prick them with
pin; if they are good, the oil will instant
ly spread around the puncture.
All broken meats which are to be used
for the table can be chopped very finely,
well seasoned with salt, pepper, dry mus
tard, powdered. herbs, if one wishes, and
little melted butter, if there is not sufli-
cient fat in the meat to make it unnecessa-
ry Pressed into cups or glasses they turn
out quite solidly. and look and taste well.
