The Democratic; plan is to carry a
"solid SOUTH" Only the simply and
willingly deceived are blind to what
this means. Through the aid of
Morrissey, Kelly, and O'Brien, in
the north, and their roughs and re-
peaters, they hope to add to a ''solid
south" votes enough to elect their
ticket. But suppose the Democrats
secure "solid south" and lack only
a few votes of a majority. Here
lies one source of danger. A Dem
ocratic House will not want for an
excuse to throw out enough Repub-
lican votes either to declare their
own candidate elected, or else that
the House will proceed to elect Til
den and Hendricks. To sustain this
usurpatioH the south is ready. A
southern army could be prepared to
march in one hour after the signal
and in forty-eight hours tho chosen
portion could be in the National
Capital, and the whole could be
within supporting distance within
a week. In another contest let the
north be warned in season that the
northern Democrats will act openly
with the section where their hearts
were during the rebellion. Thus
before the disbelieving aud sleeping
north will be able to arouse from
their amazsment and folly the next
outbreak may become an accom-
plished fact.

Care for Cancer.

Mrs. NJ. A. v. gives in the Coun-
try Gentleman this process for cur
ing cancer: A sticking plaster is
put over the cancer, with q circular
piece cut out of the center a little
larger than the cancer, and q small
circular rim of healthy skin next to
it is exposed. Then q plaster made
of chloride of zinc, blood root and
wheat -four, is spread on q piece of
muslin of the size Of the circular
opening, and is applied to the cancer
for twenty-four hours. On remov-
ing il the cancer will be found as
though burned into, appearing of
the color and hardness of an old
shoe, and the circular rim outside of
it will appear white and parboiIed
as If scalded by hot steam. The
wound is now dressed, and the out
side rim soon separates, and the
cancer comes out q hard lump, and
the place heals up.
The plaster kills the cancer, so
that it sloughs out like dead flesh,
and never grows again. The appli-
cstion Is painful, but the pain is of
comparatively brief duration, which
any one so effected cheerfully en-
dures. Not case has been known
of the temperance of the cancer
where this remedy has been applied.
This cure for cancer was published
in 1856. Perhaps there are many
who can tell more about it.

1t stands out boldly that Demo
cratic success IN one section lies
over the dead bodies and through
the blood of murdered Republicans,
at the sacrifice of the sanctity of the
ballot-box, and the prostrstion of
all that constitute Republican insti-
tutions, and, in the other, gross n.y.
pocrisy, bold denials of truth, and
in the power of Morrissey, Kelly,
and O'Brien over the roughs and
repeaters of New York. If, in the
south, murder, Intimidation, and
fraud could be suppressed, and we
conld have there peace, q fair cleo
ton, aud an honest count; and if in
New York city the power of Nor
rissey, Kelly, aud O'Brien over the
roughs and repeaters were broken,
the Democratic party would be
without hope. without vitality, and
almost, if not wholly, without or
ganization. Indeed, in the absence
of these supports it would cease to
exists as q political body. With
these it menaces the country with
dangers of which few seem to be
conscious.

The Danger of the Times

Bishop McQuaid, of Rochester,
speaks of the evils of the day in The
following severe, but not too severe,
terms:
"The dangers from which the early
settlers were exempt are now crowd
ing upon US. A population ashamed
TO work; large numbers of young
men brought up in idleness in a CEN
fury that has no place for drones /;
professional office-seekers, with educa-
ton enough TO be mischievous when
not employed; frightful increase of
the buying and selling of votes at the
ballOt-tox, without shame on the part
of the buyer or seller; peculatiOn and
the bartering of official patronage and
influence among the highest officials
of the Government; Astounding i'm
mortality among the people disregard
of the indissolnbility of the marriage
tie; neglect OF wholesome Discipline in
the family, and the consequent ill-di-
rected training of the children, tell us
that the essential conditions or self
government are growing weak and
passing away"
Of course the Bishop had chiefly, if
not exclusively, in view what prevails
among his own countrymen. This he
sketches with firm and faithful hand,
and no one adequately acquainted
with the facts will say that he does so
in cOlors too dark, or in a spirit too de-
spending. 1t is beyond all question
true that there is an increasing tenden-
cy to look upon labor as disrep0table,
and to do anything, however immor-
al, and submit to anything, however
degrading. if only a life of compare
tive ease and self-indulgence can there
by be secured. II is no doubt, true
that the evils of the times. obtrude
themselves 0stentationsly upon public
notice, while virtue is modest and re-
firing. Yet, after making all due al
lowanee tor this, there is only too
good ground for the prelate's indict-
ment, and for the consequent fear of
coming trouble and social upbreak.

vVIo Delnonetized SILVER

Was It the Republicans? The de-
monetieing act was passed In 1873,
in the House, without q division.
For several years it had been before
the two Houses, but at no time was
it opposed by the Democracy it re-
ceived their support their votes, at
its every stage, and passed the
House by vote OF ayes, no; and
noes, ID; after the declaration by
Mr.. McNeely, a Democratic MEM
Der from Illinois, that "as member
of the committee on coinage, weights
and measures, having carefully ex-
amined every section aud line of
this bill, and generally well under
standing the subject before US, am
satisfied the bill out to pass" 1t
received the votes of the Democ-
racy, and at the Democratic conven-
ton at st. Louis, Mr.. Doolittle's

intermlttIngiy ana SO nightly as TO
crack the shell of an egg, or break
the crystal of watch, without furth-
er injury to either of them.
The steam engine exhibit is very
large and fine, but are nearly alto
gether American. England has but
q single small portable engine, while
the other countries make no effort
to compete against the Americans
in this line at ali. Owing TO the
universal use of machinery by the
Americans to do everything that
can possibly De done by it. they
haye made speciality of this line,
and to-day excel the world In small
steam engines. In marine engines
the English cannot be surpassed, as
they build more In this line than
any other country, aud have had
more experience. The larger sta
tionary English engines are little
more than copy after the Ameri-
can Corliss engine. Those engines
in Machinery Hall are models of
beauty in compactness, finish and
lightness. One manufactures places
his cylinder entirely inside of the
boiler, and has every working part
arranged upon the top of the boiler,
thereby making the most compact
engine ever seen. By placing the
cylinder inside all condensation of
the steam is entirely overcome. but
in return for this the boiler must be
made proportionally larger, and
should the fiues have to be cleansed
out, or the valve get out of order,
the fire has to be drawn and the
steam let off before the defect can
be remedied. Some of the boilers
have their jackets, in which the
flnes are placed, made in sections,
so that by taking off a portion of
the jacket, the flues can be cleansed
while the engine is in operation.
America alone exhibits a compound
and hot air engine, and Prussia
alone an engine which is driven by
the explosion of gas. This Prussisn
engine operates very nicely, and is
quite a curiosity in its way. Ordi-
nary burning gas and air, mixed in
such proportions as to give mild
explosive compound, are admitted
under q piston which slides air tight
in a vertical cylinder that is open at
the top. The compound is ignited,
by small gas jet placed outside,
about every 10 seconds, and the ex-
plosion drives the piston upward
with sudden jerk. By the time
the piston has its full stroke, q vacu-
um is formed under, and then the
pressure of the air upon the top of
the piston forces it downward, and
this downward motion imparts such
q momentum to the machinery that
it runs until another explosion takes
place. The odd part about the OF
Grafton is, that when the piston is
suddenly sent upward by the explo-
sion, it does no work whatever, but
simply raises it so that the pressure
of the atmosphere can come into
play. These engines are much more
expensive than steam engines of a
corresponding power, but are
cheaper to use, so far as fuel and
other expenses are concerned.

Butter.

Many judges of good butter aver
that the best butter that can be
found in the United States is made
near Philadelphia. But if the same
degree of neainess and care be OBJ
COWS are supplied with good grass,
there will be no difficulty in making
the article fully equal to Philadel-
phia print butter. The milking is
done quietly aud rapidly, the same
milk maid always attending the
same COW.
The spring house is usually of
stone, on a side hill, the floor cover
ed with running water, and. there
fore. always cool and free from
odors. Deep tin pans, painted on
the outside, with balls for handling,
are filed to the depth of three
inches, placed on an oak floor, sur
rounded with cool, clear water of a
temperature of So degrees. The
cream is taken off in twentY-four
hours, kept in deep vessels holding
two gallons, and stirred whenever q
new skimming is added.
A barrel churn is used, the churn-
ing lasting an hour, when a little
cold milk is added to cause the
butter to gather. The buttermilk
drawn of, ice cold water is added
twice, . few turns given to the
churn each time, and the last water
is scarcely colored with milk. A
gentle rocking of the churn soon
collects the butter, which is left two
hours to drain of the remaining
water through email hole left for
the purpose.
The butter is worked by q CORFU
gated wooden roller revolving on q
shaft, supported over the center of
the table, which also revolves under
the roller. The roller does not
quite touch the table, SO there is no
crushing of the particles, bat sep
aratiOn, which permits the water or
milk to flow away.
A cloth wrnDg dry in cold spring
water is repeatedly pressed upon
the butter until not q particle of
moisture is seen upon it as it comes
from the roller, and the butter be-
gins to adhere to the cloth. This is
called 'fwiping" the butter. An
ounce of salt TO three pounds of
butter is then thoroughly worked
in by the aid of the same machine.
1t is then weighed in pound
prints, deposited in trays, aud set IN
water TO harden. The next morn
ing it is wrapped In damp cloths,
each pound by itself, put in case
upon wooden shelves, with two
compartments OF pounded ice to
keep il cool, and surrounded by q
cedar lub, it is sent 20 market and
sold ct 81 per pound.-[New York
