The Cincinnati Esq"ir,r says that harmony
in the Democratic ranks is an impossible fea-
ture until the Eastern moguls have conceded
the fact that the rag baby is child of destiny
and tie only hope of the party. When the
Eastern moguls concedc this, the editor of the
Enqpirer can stand on the peak of the Chin
borazo and gather icicles from the equator.

Home Decorations.

Perhaps your home Is but scantilv
furnished, and you can afford few ornu-
ments or pictures. We'll, then, yoa
have Natures treasury to draw upon.
Have flowers in your room. They cost
little, and the pleasure they give is be-
yond price. If you can have flower
1or your window, so much the better.
What can be more delicious than the
suns light streaming through flowers
through the midst Of crimson fuchsias
or scarlet geraniumsl To look out into
the light through fowers--is not that
poetry? And to break the force of the
sunbeams by the tender resistance of
green leaves. If you can train a mas
turtium round the window, or some
sweet peas, then you will have the most
beautiful frame you can invent for the
picture without, whether it be the busy
crowd, or . distant landscape, or trees
with their lights and shades, or the
changes of the passing clouds. Any
one may look through flowers for the
price of an old song. And what pure
taste and refinement does it not indicate
on the part of the cultivatorl A flower
IN the window sweetens the air, makes
the room look graceful, gives the suns
hglt new charm, rejoices the eye, and
links nature with beauty. Then, as for
pictures, what can be more beautiful
an a group of tastefully arranged
Autumn leaves and ferns? Brilliant
hued leaves also make. lovely transpa-
rencies. They can be arranged between
two panes of glass, or, simpler still,
formed into wreath, Just fastening the
edge of one leaf to another with muci-
lage, and then hanging them in the sun
shine by one of the stems. For a cen
ter-table ornament, nothing is prettier
than simple fernery, which may be
arranged by your own hands. Simply
grown in q common hower-pot, with a
little charcoal beneath rich, loose soil,
they will soon obtain fine start. Placed
in basket upon the center-table, no
prettier ornament can well be imagined;
their graceful, feathery fronds dropping
over the sides, or standing upright in
green and diaphanous beauty. A pretty
floral ornament may be made by filling
shallow dish. with moss Of different
shades, bordering it with the trailing
vine of the partridge berry. And the
only price we have topay for ali these
woodland treasures is exercise and air.
More recuperating, invigorating and
restful, in nine cases out of ten, would
be walk in the country side than the
after-dinner nap. 1t might not be on
the first trial, but persevere all through
these fully-ripened days, before the
grand storehouses of Nature, with their
superb Fall openings. are over and
locked for the Winter.

SHEEP RAIsINa.-This branch of bus
iness, like almost every other, has had
its ups and downs, but it is o question
whether any business has paid better
for series of years. The rapid in
crease of sheep is very favorable to
farmers OF small means who wish to en-
gage in wool-growing' Sheep raising
is too much neglected in the West. The
animal that furnishes clothing, food and
light, which eats what other animals re-
ject, which crops hillsides too steep for
other creatures to ascend, is entitled to
vastly more credit than it receives

AN UNUSUAL PEr.-An Englisbman
named Mann and his wife, appear to have
had remarkable success in tanning boa
constructor, which has just died. 1t
came to be family pet, and was allow
ed the freedom Of the house. 1t ex-
hibited great attachment to its owners
not only, but also came to know its
friends among visitors. 1t was accus-
toned to ask for food, water, and to
be taken to walk. 1t ate nothing but
pigeons, consuming about one a week,
and always killed them by breaking their
necks before crushing them in its coils.
1t could entirely control the pressure of
its coils, twining about its owners
bodies and necks, but never hurt them.
They often carried it about in travelling
when it remained concealed under the
coat, as though understanding the neces-
sity of keeping quiet. When it was left
behind it recognized and welcomed its
friends return with the greatest Joy, an

The THETH.-A paper, by Mr.. Bar
rett, read at recent meeting of the
Chronological Society, advocates the
use of carbolic acid in the treatment of
decayed teeth. The cavity having been
properly cleaned ort, is plugged with
cotton wool which has been soaked in
carbolic acid, and the usual metal filing
is then put in, whereby the antiseptic
properties Of the acid are retained per-
haps for years. The same remedies may
also be applied to cases in which the
fangs of the teeth are inhamed; and,
among dentists, it is acknowledged that
in carbolic acid they have a powerful
and eficacious means of relieving the
distressing pain occasioned by diseases
of the teeth.
