The Desperate Republican,.

The thirteen reconstructed states east
nincty-hve electoral votes, or more than
one-tourth of the whole number. All
these States voted for GRANT in ls6s except
Georgia ana Louisiana, which voted for
SEYMOUR, and Mississippi, Virginia, and
Texas, which, not being then fully restored
TO the Union, did not vote AT all. For sew
eral years nine of these States were strong
holds of the Republican party. Iatterly
they have gradually become Democratic
until at the present time the Republicans
have n rather feeble hold upon only South
Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana.
In the pending Presidential campaign
the reconstructed States arc the key of
the position: and unless the Republicans
can defeat the Democrats in three or four
of the States now held by the latter, they
have no hope of escape. Hence, they look
upon Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and
Alabama with covetous eye; aud if vio-
lent counsels prevail they Will resort 10

Wedding Dress q Century Ago.

To begin with the lady: Her locks
were strained upwards over an immense
cushion that sat like an incubus on her
head, and plastered over with pomatum
and then sprinkled over with shower OF
white powder. The height of this tower
was somewhat over foot. One single
white rosebud lay on its top like an eagle
on haystack-over her neck and bosom
was folded lace handkerchief, fastened
in front by breast-pin rather larger than
acopper cent, containing her grandmoth-
er's miniature set in virgin gold. Her airy
form was braced up in satin dress; the
sleeves as tight as the natural skin of the
arm, with waist formed by bodice,
worn outside, whence the skirt flowed off,
and was distended at the top of an ample
hoop. Shoes of white kid with peaked
toes and heels OF two or three inches ele-
walton, enclosed her feet and glittered with
spangles, as her little pedals peeped eau
tiously out.
Now for the swain: His hair was sleek
ed back and plentifully befloured, while
his queue projected like the handle of a
skillet. His coat was sky blue silk,
lined with yellow his long vest of white
satin, embroidered with gold lace, his
breeches of the same material, and tied to
the knee with pink ribbon. White silk
stockings and pumps, with laces and ties
of the same hue, completed the habiliment
of his neither limbs. Lace ruffles cluster
ed his wrists, and portentous frill work.
ed in correspondence and bearing the min
iature of his beloved, finished his truly
genteel appearance.

How to Test Vegetable Seeds.

1t is very easy and simple matter to
test any variety of seeds and thus avoid
imposition and loss by the purchase and
planting of an inferior article. Purchase
of your scotsman a very small quantity of
the seeds you intend to plant, and submit
them to the following test:
Take two thicknesses of wooden cloth,
either flannel or fulled cloth will answer.
Dampen them with water and lay them in
some shallow dish, as plate or saucer
Then sprinkle few seeds so thick that
they will lay one upon the other. Now
dampen another piece of cloth and lay over
the seed.
Keep the plate or saucer in moderate
ly warm place, and by removing the up
per cloth at will you can watch the result.
The good seed will gradually swell and
finally sprout, while the seed that is too cid
or that is bad from any other cause, may
swell at first, but instead of growing like
the good, will mold and rot.
BY o careful test in this way may be
learned the exact proportion of good and
bad seed in the lot offered you, and thus
you may avoid not only the loss of the
money asked for the same, but also the
greater loss you would sustain by planting
bad seed and experiencing a failure OF the
crop. Test the seed before buying large

Poe tic al.
ats Just the Same as it Used TO
Be-"

ats Just the Same ms it Used "a
Be.'
The girls are planning to get beau,
They dressf or party, ball and show
And the old folks tell us it wasn't so
When they were young and used to go!
But the difference is really no more or less
Than little change in the style of dress;
And human nature itself, you seek
Is just the same as it used to be.
After the verses and prayers arc said,
The old folks light the boys to bed,
And they lie as still as though they were dead
Till daddy goes off to his dreams instead;
Then down the back stairs-so sly and slow,
With their boots in their hands-and away
they go,
And the old man laughs in the morning to
see,
It's just the same as it used to be!
Those good old maids are waiting yet
Over love affairs they froth and fret
or girls they never saw such a set
Every one is a silly coquette
But if backward something like forty years
They would carry their meddlesome eyes and
ears,
In flirts and freaks of. their own they'd see
It's just the same rs it used to be.
OF course to the aged It's right to hold
The years they were happy the best that
rolled,
But the truth is plain and ought to be told,
That the world grows better in growing old;
Aud only love, in its show and flame
Is ever changing and yet the same
Freaks of fashion and change, you see;
But it is just the same as it used TO be !

The End of the Texas Steer.

The end of that ungainly animal, the
Texas steer, is near at hand. Soon his
long horns and angular frame will no Ion
ger be seen. The shorthorn is fast sup
planting him. .......
Thousands Of bulls of improved blood
have been taken not only into Texas, but
into Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Dakota
and other places where the Texas COW was
the only available stock with which to
start an improved herd. After the young
stock become old enough to breed, the
Texan cattle are marketed, and we are
now running the cmptyings," to speak,
of the Texans.
Even the Indians are improving their
Cherokee stock in the same manner. In
two or three years more the main bulk of
the cattle will he shorthorn grades, and a
great and steady demand will be made
upon the eastern herds for bulls for breeds
ing. Not for fancy stock, but for equally
good, but less fashionable, pure shorthorns.
The present outlook is altogether in favor
of stock raising as the most profitable
branch of farming, both in the east and
the west and it is certain that there is
no other that is less exhaustive to the
soil. ,i'-

The Cunning of the Fox.

The Turf, Field and Farm relates the
following, illustrative of the cunning, or
shall we say, the reasoning faculty of the
fox {:
A farmer possessed large number of
fine turkeys, which usually roasted in the
branches of some tall Scotch frs, immedi-
ately joining the farm yard. Reynard had
his eye on them, and made several visits
during the moonlight nights, but unsuc-
cessiully, as they were perched TOO
high for him to reach them. He was
therefore obliged to resort to stratagem,
and this was the plan he adopted He
first scratched the ground beneath the
tree with his fore feet, and then
the base of the tree itself, in or
der to attract the attention of the turkeys,
at the same time looking mp to mark every
movement. lie then ran round the tree
in rapid rings. The turkeys, aware of their
danger, followed his quick movements
with their eyes, and became confused and
dizzy. One fine bird fell. to the ground,
was instantly killed and carried off to the
earth. The scheme was repeated with
equal success. The loss of turkey after
turkey induced the farmer TO watch in
ambush, and the truth of the stratagem
was fully established.

ago, the appointments of which were as
gorgeous and picturesque as feast in fairy
land The guests were nearly all million
aires. Upon the snowy cloth were arrang-
ed bright flowers in reckless profusion,
while rich silver ware glittered among
fruit, flowers and wondrous dishes. The
recesses of the bay windows were turned
into Conservatives, and most delicious
effect was produced by large mirrors plac-
ed as n background for the plants. A
string band in an adjoining room played
the most delicious music, and eighteen
cages filled with golden winged songsters
were suspended at appropriate intervals
from the ceiling. The bills of fare, artisti-
cally engraved ON solid silver, were st by
A. inches, and cost $40 each. They were
preserved by the guests as souvenirs.

Temperance. Iir. Moody asked the Rev. Dr. Cuyler
OF Brooklyn to read chapter from the Bible
and make the first address. He selected the
9Th chapter OF Galatians expressing the charity ana
hepfulness best suited to the day and subject.
MIR. Sankey then sang, Yield not 10 temptation, Tor
yielding is sin" There were prayers by William f.
Dodge aud Mr. Sawyer and several reformed drinkers
gave their bitter experience and told Of their
conversion. Mr.. Moody said: Most people
think this is the last temperance meeting
we are going 10 have here, but they are
much mistaken. Just because are gong awayis no
reason wav they should be discontinued. There are a
great many more who can tell the same story as
those which have listened and these men are going
