There are clouds upon my pathway, there are
clouds upon my brow,

But I'm not the lone example that this truth

70 printed last week the resolution passed
10y the Ministerial Association OF this city, con-
graduating and thanking the commissioners OF
ths Oentennia, for closing the exhibition on
sunday. We are sorry the Ministerial Associa-
ton dli not at the same time protest against
The determln alton OF the commissioners to cell
intoxicating liquor on the Centennial ground
every day OF the week, and this in direct viola
ton OF the law OF that State. We do not be-
iieve that the opening Of the exhibition for q
half day on Sunday would have had the de-
moralizing and sorl-destroying effect Of liquor
selling every day. We love the day OF rest rs
well as any one but we believe that God re-
the People.

CONaREss-THE APPROPRIATIONS.

Correspondents Of The True Northerner.
WASHINGTON, d. O., May 20.
The Indications ct present are that the COM
mencemsnt Of the fiscal year viii be reached
before the appropriation bills are carried
through Congress. In that case, the wheels OF
Government will oil be blocked and work IN the
Departments will cease. So much for Demo
cratic majorities in Congress. II any one eve'
doubted the unftness OF Democracy to rule,
the doubt must have been dispelled by this
time. Six months control OF the House OF
Representatives proves Democracy TO be little
better than imbecile in the management OF
public AFFAIRS. Nothing has really been accom-.
plished yet While the industrieS Of the coun
try are languishing for needed legislation moi
the remotest attempt has been made to revive
them.
EXIT FIIzHUGH.
The Democratic doorkeeper Of the House OF
Representatives has been compelled to steI
down and out. He is the sixth man Of ths
Democratic appointees in the House who hal
lost his position on account Of improprieties Of
something worse. This is hard on Democracy
Before the session is through more OF the
galvanized patriots win be unmarked. Ever
Speaker Kerr is in danger. He is charged witt
having sold cadetship in 1866. For the credi
OF the House and the honor OF the American
name we trust the charge will be disproved.-
As the Democracy commenced throwing stones
il would not be surprising If all its glass win
dows we're smashed before it gets through thu
campaign.
The credit due the Republican party for goot
management Of National affairs was never more
clearly shown than in the light OF the presen
Democratic Encouragement AS scandal mon
gers the Democrats OF the House are in striking
contrast. In this they may prove success
but as legislators they have proven themselves
sad failure.
THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION.
The interest in the Republican Presidentia
nomination increases as the date OF holding
the Convention draws nearer. Among the
new names mentioned IN connection with tint
Convention that OF Hon. z. Chandler Is thu
most prominent. Mr.. Chandler proved his
claim to craftsmanship by spotless record OF
eighteen years in the United States Senate
His present management Of the Interior De
partment proves HIM to be as great in execu
tive force as he was in legislative effort.

Gardening IS the most ancient OF Gil
arts. The first gardener was the first
man. An occupation so ancient, and SO
productive of pleasure and profit to map,
is entitled to respect, and is worthy the
devotion of all who have control over
ever the smallest portion Of "mo,her
EARTH" Mahommed, it is said, made the
heaven of his religion q vast garden, on
the principle of representing the celes-
tial state by that which ministered most
terrestrial happiness TO mankind. Sir
William Temple represented horticulture
as "the inclination of kings, and the
choice of IEi;osophers We have
learned in this western world that it is
also the preference of the sovereign
people. Tho broad prairies. the lime
stone hills and alluvial hills, the wide
variety of soil and climate, reaching
from the rocky cliffs Of Oregon to the
glades Of Florida, Oh whose wilderness
OF besuty the light of an almost tropical
sun loves 10 liuger, supply a great and
active people with unparalleled scope
for developing all the products Of nature.
The increase of gardening In all its
branches On this continent Is marvellous,
as any one will perceive in rejecting on
these two facts: the large literature, pc.
riodical ard permanent, pertaining to
the science and practice of horticulture,
and the surprising volume and breadth
Of the seed trade. And get our people
have made but a beginning! To say
nothing of the yet unlrOdden areas OF
the continent, how many lots, yards and
fields are left to the prOitless control of
the weeds, which might, with proper
care and culture, be made TO yield an
abundance of those vegetable products
which are so necessary 10 health and
com!orts There Is no one, whether lie
be the merchant absorbed in the duties
Of ms store or ~cffice, or the Mechanic
engaged in his la5orious art, or the
housewife cncumbercd Nth domestic
cares, who would not be better TOR the
change Of employment for body and
mind, which an hour or two devoted
daily TO gardening, would afford. Nor
Is the consideration of Its economy a
slight one, as the experience of many
has testified. \ garden Is TO. by any
means q bad savings bank. Out door
work, so engaging and 50 rcnuucrative,
must likewise induce cheerfu'ness OF
disposition and health of body, and
must tend to develop that attachment OF
the cit zen TO the home which is one of
the strongest safeguards Of society
against lawlossness and immortality
