The rage Of massive gold iewelry
which existed some time ago, and which
revived the heavy chains and broad band
bracelets, has, We are glad TO say, entire
ly disappeared. Bracelets particularly.
excepting in thelight porte bonheur forms,
seem TO have become obsolete, and we
heartily wish such abominable evidences
of former barbarism and servitude could
never again be re-instated. Artistically.

ever; all jewelry is artistic" The
value depends upon the rarity, not the
richness Of the material and the work

enamelled porcelain put on velvet and

brought almost to perfection during the
last few years, the work may be done
well and rapidly enough to satisfy the
ambition Of the thresher, or the econo-

THE RESURRECTION PLANT.-It is an
annual, indigenous to the Egyptian
deserts. When full grown il contracts
rigid branches into round ball, and is
then tossed about by the winds. When
it alights in water or on damp ground
the branches relax and open out, as if its
life was renewed-hence its'name of Res

tales told about it is, that it first bloomed
on Christmas eve, 10 salute the birth of
the Redeemer, and paid homage to His
resurrection by remaining expanded till
Easter. These plants may be bought in
a dry state, and will thus remain any
length OF time, but will always expand

of many others. II moistens, it mellows,
il guards against frost and sun, it tdrains
this is the reason 10 much manure is

People will do without subsoil plow,
without ditcbing, without moving ma
chine, without even horse-rake, but
they will use manure more or less. II il
well for the land that this is no. Nature
has made some soils too wet for farming
purposes, though to meet her end they
were properly made. The farmer need
mot be told that 10 help this soil he must
drain IL. He then gets the undevcloped
richness. Pulverizing and stirring the
toil deeply, so that heat and air can gel
down, is another great thing. These are
the main things-simple, yet how little

Nature gives you the soil; you helI
her and she helps you in return--help,
you while you are doing it. She keep
your ground moist when you mellow IL
and she let's the air pass into it with il
fertility, which she tok from negligent
barn-yards; and this fertility she leave
with the soil-and that the farmer ant

'.It is the old fight again." says Dix.
No; it isn't. That old fight was to free
the slave, lift up the lowly, preserve
liberty and maintain the Union. The is
sue to-day is whether the Belknaps, Bah
cocks, Robesons, Joyces, McDonalds,
McKees, etc., shall roll in ill-gotten
wealth while the laboring people starve !;
whether the peoples greenbacks shall
be withdrawn to give place to ma
tional bank notes; whether all prosper
ity and enterprise shall be crushed out
Of the country, in order to swell the
treasures of the capitalists; in short,
whether the republic shall or shall not
give way to an oligarchy or despotism.
And now old Dix toots his little horn
and seeks to rally the ragged, neglected
soldiers to perpetuate the very system Of
things which has plundered them. And
very appropriately his illumination is
signeu by General James H. Baker,

There IS little doubt that Grant inten-
ded and expected to be elected president
for third term, and that he had visions
of stayinglin TIE White Houselas long as
he lived; and until, as Frank Blair said,
he was carried out heels first.
We sympathize with Ulysses. On tn G
4th OF March next he will step out and
down into nothingness. He looks for
ward to that day as the condemned pris-
oner looks to the day set for his execu-
ton. But the natibn can draw long
breath of relief when it comes; for al
though we would not disparage Grants
great military ability, or his magnificent
services during the war, he has some
traits OF mind that unfit him for civil
life. He is, like Marlborough, exceed
ingly greedy for money; he is a wor-
shipper of money-bags; he is violent,
unreasoning friend, and bitter, vindic-
tive enemy; and he seems to have had
no conception OF the great principles
which underlie the republic.
We say these things reluctantly. for
now that Grants day of power is draw
ing 10 close, every republican editor,
who has heretofore abased himself be-
fore him. is vigorously engaged in kick
ing him. This perhaps is human nature.
II it be true, as Darwin claims, that we
are descended from the monkeys, devel>
opment has not always been improve
ment; for we do not believe any respec-
table apes would rend the object of their
svcOphantic batteries as the republicans
are now rending Grant.
