Weather GrumbIers.

/ havn't much admiration for
grumblers of any sort; and my read
ers will not wonder that | am disgust
ed with what | shall term veather
grum6lers, when they hear my expert
ence. Meeting with neighbor A. l
bid him CHEEKY good morning, and
begin to inquire concerning the well
fare of his family. He makes one or
two hurried unsatisfactory replies,
looks as though he didn't under
stand what 1 was asking about, and
all at once interrupts me by eXclaim-
ing: "Mrs. Smith, did you ever see
such dFeadfht ,Dedthe1 rs we are hav-
ing? Nothing hut rain, rain! Ide-
clare it heats all. Why my wheat is
rotting in the shock, my oats and
grass are well nigh ruined, and as
though damage enough hadn't al
ready been done. the river threatens
to overflow my bottom land and de
stroy my corn. It's too bad to work
hard and then have nothing" and
putting on such IN injured, aggrlev-
ed look rs martyr might wear, he
finishes his speech by wisely in
forming me "that part Of tAis rdia
ought to hare fallen last sprjng"
Taking polite leave of the old grum-
bier, | hurried on, and was soon
rushed into the room of my friend
Mrs. Brown. In answer to my salu-
tation of "How do you do?' she
drew down the corners of her
mouth, heaved a deep sigh, and in a
very doleful tone Of voice, replied:
"Well, Sister Smith, l don't do very
WE'LL In fact the Cedther is so bad
| can't enjoy myself. 1t is too disa-
greeable to go out, and every thing
looks gloomy within;" and then fol-
lowed = long list of grievances for
which the ,oeatheT was wholly re-
sponsible. Icame away wondering
if aside from its unpleasantness, if
it was not absolutely aorong to in
duige in such remarks.
Why need people make them
selves and every body coming within
range of their influence unhappy by
grumhliRg and growing over what
they can't help? "What can't be
cured must he endured" and it had
hcttor ho endured checrfully. After
dang the hest you can to save your
crops, or advance your business in
terests, be happy in spite of the re-
suits. If you don't make as much
money as you would like to make,
live on less and be thankful for that
little. Stop thinking and talking of
your losses, your crosses, and "what
might have been,' and consider your
mercies, Gods goodness, and cult
vate a spirit of contentment.

on the alert. The alarm is reality.
Our enemies are bold and active.
Opposition has become incorporated
and determined. Forewarned, fore
armed. The devoted adherents, of the
Roman Church, are numbered by the
thousand in our State. They are ac-
tive, energetic and determined, and
they will spare no pains to bring in
all adverse elements in the current of
opposition, to crush down our school
system. 1t will not do for us to die
supinely on our back hugging the de-
lnsive phantom of hope" fancying to
ourselves that the public school sys-
tenn is too well rooted in the affection
of the people of Ohio, to he over
thrown. Let us not deceive ourselves.
In our stupidity we may not he able
to see the fatal malaria that lies con-
cealed in the heavy murkey atmos-
phere that surrounds us. Too late,
Taeitus, foresaw the impending ruin
of falling Rome, while yet his friend
Pliny thought all was well.
Our institution must be more warm
ly cherished, we must stem and roll
back these deadly currents, and lead
our ten thousand in more excellent
way. The times arc eventful. So
ciety rocks to its basis. This is a
land of promise. Grave questions
are before us, and our responsible
ties are fearful. Let us labor, then,
to mould the rising race as to save
the greatest number, aud show the
witnessing nations the richest bless
ing of free institutions.

or in part, if you soc f1t to do so.
We had very backward spring,
hut the weather throughout June
and the forepart of July was favora-
BILE for the crops, and they grew very
rapidly until the 18th Of July, when
we had storm that laid the oats fiat,
and damaged other crops some.
Since that time we have had heavy
rains every few days, which has in
terfered with harvesting the oats
crop, and has damaged the crop very
much, The acreage of corn and
oats Is larger than usual this season,
and the corn crop bids fair to be fui,
ly an average, If we have good
weather from this time on. The hay
crop was rather light, on account oil
being killed out last winter. The po-
tato crop bids fair to be the largest
we have had since the Colorado bug
first made it's appearance. Wheat is
worth 80 cents to $l.00; corn 80
cents: oats As cents; but l must

How to Keep Rum Over Win
ter.

Gen. Putnam, says a writer, used to
tell story of an Indian in old times
who called at a tavern in the fall of
the year for glass of rum. The
landlord charged him two pennies for
it. The next spring happening at
the same house, he called for another
glass of rum and was charged three
pennies for it.
"How is this, landlordP' he asked.
"Last fall you charged me only two
pennies for a glass"
sOh," said the landlord, cit costs
me q good deal to keep rum over
winter. 1t is as expensive to keep a
hogshead of rum over winter as to
keep a horse"
aAhp' said the Indian, 81 can't see
through that; he won't eat so much
hay; may be he drink as much soa-
ter"

MY LETTER.
To "The Folks"

by MRS. SARA woLvERTON.
heard to-day piece of news,
I'll tell you, it is this:
They say Pm not myself at all,
'sThe folks in Gal'polis!' ~
Well, that might-hap; perhaps it is,
But yet 1 think be;
And if Pm not, that other gal,
Pd give cent to see.
l know at least, my names my own,
I've writ it in our Book;
And if you don't believe my words,
Why, just come on, and look.
And he or she who steals that same,
Steals what 1 value much;
And there's reckoning aftermath,
For any one of such.
And teo, don't propose at all
To raze my castle down;
mean to win, and wear, for sure,
A-well-you knOw-d-i
And We who read my simple lines,
Perhaps some fiowerets view;
Please rest assured that she who writes,
Signs only but the true.
And if among her random notes
Her bits of light and shade
You find there are of any worth,
Her work is well repaid.
She CLEANS along the hillyside,
Beside the waters clear,
Tho often in the darkest woods
The brightest buds appear.
She gives them out with hearty hand,
Her might upon the sea-
And hopes sometime in future land
They'll valued treasure be.

lation which follows is the exclusive homo,
or obloquy of the chief, and neither sub.
ordinate general of division or brigade
has any greater share of the glory than
may be allotted him by the justice of his
commander.
1t is customary to condemn General
Grant for everything that he does or for
bears to do, but only those who forget the
history of the country could reproach him
with not accepting seat in his own Cabi-
net and accepting the opinions of others
instead of expressing or enforcing his
own. Indeed, We may add, with entire
respect, that several members of the Cabi-
net seem to have had enough to do in con-
Quoting the routine business of their own
departments, without bestowing reflection
upon the foreign relations and domestic
policy which occupies SO much of execu-
tive thought and action.

THE PRESIDENT AND GARNET

The New York Herald is quoted by the
anti-Grant papers as complaining of the
President that he does not submit the
determination of his policy to Cabinet
vote The Herald says:
The instances are numerous which show
how little the President uses his Cabinet as
council board.
History says that General jackson es-
tablished the doctrine that the members
of the Cabinet are the heads of executive
departments, whose duty it is to give the
President information of the state of the
several subjects assigned them. The par
ticular point made against General Jack
son upon his removing recalcitrant Sec
rotary of the Treasury, was that the Treas
ury Department was under the especial
control of the Legislature, which had the
power of appropriation and the custody of
the public money. Hence the Wing
charge that the President claimed to hold
the sword and the purse. The Democracy,
however, then as the Republicans, now
claimed the unity of the administration
and the subordination of the departments.
Waving the point as to the Treasury De-
partment, it is plain that if the President
was reduced to cast one vote in Cabinet
of six persons, he could not redeem his
oath or obligation to the American people.
1t was jocularly told of President Taylor
that he indicated himself to friend
whose application for Office had been re-
jected by the Cabinet, that he had voted
and done his very best for him. -
A Cabinet, on the theory of our govern
ment, is but the staff Of the President.

responsibilities. tits The council Of war

GOVERNOR ANTOINE'S PROCLAMATION
IN WASHINGTON,

A private dispatch from prominent
citizen of New Orleans, now in Washing
ton, was received yesterday, from which
we are permitted to extract the following:
I'VE made narrow escape in Ohio, but
miss is as good as mile sometimes. l
see by the morning papers that Governor
Antoine has issued proclamation touching
the Feliciana outrsges. 1t meets with ap-
proval here"
Doubtless the marrow escape" referred
to was, as usual, the result of errors on
the part of the Democracy of Ohio more
than the good management of the Repub-
licans. Whatever may have been the
cause, it is certain that we hear no more
about the great ''tidal wave which began
to roll over the country last fall. As for
the Governors East Feliciana proclama-
ton, we are glad to know it is ap-
proved at the capital. 1t seems also to
meet with general approval here. That
proclamation is, in fact, a call from the
head OF the State to certain disorderly SUBJ
ordinate members of the household to
behave themselves in such manner as
not to disgrace the commonwealth. IT,
can only have moral force, since our
militia system, never very efficient, is now
completely annihilated. Probably not an
able bodied soldier could be mustered
under the States banner, and we do not
know that it is desirable that it should be-
otherwise. Force may be speedy, but it
is by no means an effectual way to put
down local excitement and disorder. The
surrounding public opinion, seconded BY
moderate restraints, will go further than a
troop of armed men in communities where
the majority is virtuous and law abiding.
We have characterized the acts of the
sixty or seventy anonymous assassins of
John Gair and Babe Matthews, as in the
highest degree outrageous and disgraceful.
such deeds stain the character of every
man engaged in them, and also those of
all knowing to them who do not take
every means possible to bring the perpe-
traitors to punishment Those who apolo.
