One of the most interesting intellectual
treats which it has been our pleasure 20
enjoy since our residence in Toledo, was
that given at the Court House last We'd
nesday night, by the Iowa College Rhe-
torical Club. Our only regret is that the
audience was 30 small, there not being
enough to pay expenses. The gentlemen
composing this club show the effects of
much study and preparation for theirreci-
tations in the way in which they render
them. They are all three entirely differ
emit in their appearance and STYLE and their
selections were as varied as the individu-
ais. They were all good, however, and
extremely well spoken. The facial delinea-
tons by Mr.. St. John were amusing and
laughab!e in the extreme. We would like
to see this club give Toledo another visit
some time during the winter, ard believe
they would be greeted with a good house.
They are certainly worthy OF one.

came to Toledo on Saturday evening, and
his parents Mr.. & Mrs. c. G. Guilford
gave him a reception which was one OF
the ~pleasantest parties of the season. A
number of invitations had been issu. d
and they were responded to, with one o.
two exceptions, by the presence Of those
who were favored enough to receive
them. About eight o'clock the guests
began to arrive and in a short time the
pleasant home was crowded. Various
games, instrumental and vocal music, &c,
&C., occupied the fast flying hours until
midnight, when those present began tc
disperse having had a pleasant and en-.
joyable time. The supper which was
served about 0 O'Clock, was, as might
have been expected, an elegant affair.
Many were the good wishes extended rol
the future happiness and welfare of the
bride and groom.

A Long Detention of the Mails.

A relic of the siege of Paris is noticed in
an article in the Journal de PrOUiliS, which
states that one Vanot, fisherman of the
village of Vimpelles, lately dragged up in
his net globular tin box of light con-
struction, and on opening it with "a knife
found IL full of letters 1t was of course

age. VanOt, the finder, discovering the in.
closures to be perfectly dry and in good
order, carried the globe home TO show his

number, were for some time freely dis.

eyes pt Nimpelles. The affair however
presently got to the ears of the police, who
atonee made domiciliary visits on Vanot
and his friends, and carried off all they
could recover to Provins, whence they

DenOcracYs

Democracy has been tried and found
wanting. 1t once stood before the people
as party of honor and justice. But il
turned its back on freedom, prosecuted its
champions and became the mere tool OF
the slave power. Infdelty to principle
brought corruption into its administration.
When the nation rose in 1861 to cast it
out from its high Office of governmental
control 1t was not the political freak of
an hour, but the resolve of a people that
had no further use for party that had be-
trayed its trust. Its fall was the death.
blow of the power which sustained it..
The grave of slavery should have been the
grave of Democracy
AS political power it should have
been banished from the field of American
politics. But the power OF evil oftentimes
outlivcs the institutions which generated
it. Slavery is dead, but its ripened fruit,
corrupt Democracy, still lives to exert its
baneful influence on the destiny of ma.
tion. To resist the spread of its political
poison requires fidelity, watchfulness,
energy and thorough organization on the
part of those who love their country and
desire its government to remain in the
loyal hands of those who saved itfrom the
deadly attack of Democracy and slavery.

Flowing Orchards.

Whether it is better to plow young
orchards or to keep them permanently in
grass is a question to which different an
swers are returned by men who have had
both experience and observation in the
premises. Without attempting to decide
this point, upon which the "doctors disa-
gree" we wish to offer a suggestion to the
large number of our readers who think il
is advisable TO plow among their trees
That is, that they use great deal of care
while doing the work \ great many
trees have been permanently injured by
having the roots sadly mangled or tho
bark mutilated on their trunks. The lat
ter often proves to bea very serious injury
and, even where only a small piece oI
bark is removed, it frequently induce,
disease and finally kills the tree. Fol
blowing where trees are thick oxen arc
better than horses, as there is much less
danger of injuring the trees. But where
oxen cannot be had horses must be used
and great deal of care should be taker
by the driver to keep them from getting
too close to the trees s.-Ne,o England Home

FARM.YARD WALKs.-The simplest and
cheapest arc made of coarse gravel. EX-
cavatc the bed of the path 10 the depth of
six inches or more, and fill it up with
stones. This makes excellent drainage,
and forms a solid foundation. Let the top
be dressed with clean gravel, and the path
is finished On most farms there are
troublesome stones lying around which
might be put TO good use in this way.
Every barnyard ought to have the cOnven-
iCnCo of decent paths, when lasting ones
can be so easily and cheaply built. That
any man can be content to plod around In
dung and filth up to his ankles, when he
might have dry walks ut a trifling expense,
is a mystery. Very little thought givcE TO
this matter this summer would convince
any man that before next fall he ought to
mako some barn-yard walks. Next winter

IT WAS AN ANCIENT CUSTOM of the
Spartans, in order to inculcate among
their youth an adherence of intemperance
and its kindred vices, to make their slaves
drunk with wine in the public market
places, so that the rising generation, upon
whom would some day devolve the honor
and safety of the Lacedemonian Republic,
might see before them all the CHASTITY de-
tails of the drunkards disgrace, his loss of
reason and of physical strength. 'Twere
well, perhaps, to-day, could some of our
young men contemplate similar instruct
i've lesson drawn from the life, showing
them, by a sharply-drawn contrast, the adj
vantages and true lovcliness Of abstinence
and virtue.
For such as appreciate these, VINEGAR
BITTERs is the beverage best adapted, it
being purely vegetable draught, devoid
of alcohol or mineral pOisons, and possess

of dollars and lives. ~
