RoUHER is cunning politician, and his
speech in the French Assembly, though inef-
fective as defense of the late emperor, has
Iesulted in breaking up the alliance between
Republicans and Orleanists. The govern
ment after the manner of French govern
ments, grew frightened at the progress of lib
eral sentiments, and forsaking the Left flew
tor support to the Right. As the Radicals
are the only sincere supporters of the new
system, the action of the government does not
leave it with strong backing. Those who
hope for the definite establishment of the
Republic see the advantage of the education
the provisional system gives to the people,
and realize that every hour of its continuance
strengthens their position. Legtimatists and
Orleanists dread the successful issue of the
experiment. But really the Bonapartists are
the only faction that will profit by the failure
of the septennate, for the only fight of con-
sequence is between the Republic and the
Empire, the Royalist parties having little sup
port in the country. The Bonapartists have
made shrewd move in breaking up the alli-
ance between theLelS and the Centre, Just
as the elections are coming on, They have
nothing to lose and everything to gain by tur-
moil and their success lies in destroying the
formidable coalition against them.

IT seems that the first regatta between
Harvard and Yale. which took place on Win
nepesaukee in 1852, originated as an adver-
tising eXpedient in the mind of the enter
prising superintendent of the Boston, Con-
cord &>Montreal railroad. The road was a
new one, and he desired to bring it into nc .
tice. The total expenses of the crews were
paid by the road. Harvard won. Little talk
was heard then of the advantage of culti-
waiting friendly rivalry between the univer
stiles, or Of the necessity of the physical de
velopment of the students.

The Agricultural Scrip story of DR.. Jor-
dan proves to be so blundering lie that the
Argus makes vapid effort 10 break the force
of the crushing exposure that has been made
of it. 1t would have been much better to
have said that it was taken from the Maine
Standard, which has such horror of truth
telling that real fact never appears in its
columns so long as filth and falsehood can be
found, and its editor never fails in that direc-
ton. Indeed, the man who could say of
Abraham Lincoln that he twill SHINE and
STINK and STINK and slime like rotten
mackerel by moonlight" is an adept in that
department, and need fear no competition
except from DR.. Jordan or Marcellus Emery.

SOME of the Saratoga correspondents have
been diligently studying Charles Reade's
Hard Cash." The resulting reports are
amusing. Those who aimed at color were
not chary of their pigments, nor particular
low they put them on, and the effect is
rather blotchy. One gets the impression
that these artists sat down on painters
paIettes left careless]y about, and then for
warded their stained garments in place Of
copy to the composing room. Some of the
editorial comments are quite as asamusing One
writer thinks the oar of the Iroquois has
fallen into the hands of Cornell, and another
that the prize flag has passed from New Eng
land forever.

The anxiety of certain politicians in st.
Louis to have the National Democracy hold
its next Convention there is explained as fol-
lows by the Cincinnati Commercial: "St.
Louis is the first choice of the greenback and
greyback party. If the hard-money Demo-
Gratis of the East ventured to st. Louis, and
talked their doctrines, they would be thought
the strangest sort of cattle that ever got into
the wrong woods pasture"

know in grief like thine how more than vain
All comfort to the stricken heart appears,
And as the bursting cloud must spend it's rain,
So grief its tears.
know that when thy little dsrling's form
Had freed the angel spirit fettered there,
You would not pierce beyond the breaking storm
In your despair.
You only knew those precious eyes were dim;
You only felt those tiny lips were cold
You only chung to what remained OF him
Beneath the mould
You could not gee the tender hand that caught
Your little lamb to shield him from all harms,
You missed him from your own, but never thought
or Jesus's arms!
But oh, young mother look The gate unbars,
And though the darkness shining from the
skies,
Are beaming on you brighter than those stars,
Your darling's eyes.
lis said that when the pastures down among
The Alpine wales have ceased to feed the focAs,
And they must mount where yet the grass is
young,
Far up the rocks:
The shepherd takes little lamb at play,
And lifts him gently to his careful breast,
And with its tender blea ing leads the way
For all the rest.
That quick the mother follows in the path,
Then others go-like men whose Faith gives
hopes
And soon the shepherd gathers all he hath,
Far up the slopes.
And on those everlastiDg hills he feeds
The trusting fold in green that never pals.
Look up! On see, your little darling leads,
The shepherd calls.

How / MADE Ny CATsUP.-I selected fair
ripe tomatoes, cut out all blemishes, also the
hard parts about the stem end then sliced
them into porcelain kettle, filling it full
added a red pepper and put the kettle over a
slow fire to stew, gradually stirring to prevent
burning. When reduced to half the original
quantity strained the whole through a CON-
mon wire sieve. To five pounds of the pulp
added one and a half pounds of sugar, one
pint of cider vinegar, one tablespoonful OF
cloves, one of allspice, two of cinnamon, one
of salt. 1 put the mixture back over the fire
and boiled until the thickness suited. When
mine was tested the only fault was that it was
