In 1868 it was alleged that there
was fraud at the Presidential election
in New York City. Congress met
with rousing Republican majority in
both Houses, and the first thing these
now noisy opposers of the Potter inves-
tigation did, says the Sonoma Democrat,
was to appoint Select Committee to
investigatesthe alleged irregularities in
one Of the cities of the Union. That
committee reported great amount of
matter regarding the investigation, from
which we extract a clause and recon-
mend it to the careful perusal Of this
same party, who at this juncture shrink
from the Investigation as from the sting
of an adder. Strangely enough, we
find that they then claimed that to
leave frand in the electoral vote un-
noticed, would Mexicanize the Repub-
lie. They now contend it will Mexi-
canize the country to notice the frauds
of 1879, beside which those of 1878
are as grain of sand would be in COM
parison with Mount Diablo. Here is
what they said on the subject in
1868
"This duty is one of the highest pe-
litieal importance. Irregularities and
fraud in the election Of Representatives
to Congress and Electors Of President
and Vice President cannot fail to ex-
cite just alarm in the minds of the
people. Unless their will can be fully
and fairly expressed in the election of
the officers who are to make and exc
cute law, the vital principles upon
which the Government rests are set at
defiance, and soon We may follow the
fate of France, where imperial power
was welcomed as the only means Of
peace, or the anarchy of contending
factions, SO fatal to Mexico, may close
the career of our great Republic IF
Congress or the people could be insen-
sible of, or Indifferent to, the evils of
fraudulent elections, it would not argue
well for their patriotism, nor would it
argue well for the permanency of our ma
tionality. IF the Electors are chosen
by fraudulent votes the duty i'm
posed by the Constitution is not COM
piled with, and Congress may not only
regulate and provide for this, but may
devise mode of ascertainine shat the

The following is supposed to be about
the correct translation Of the beautiful
poem entitled, 'sMary had little lamb"
A Chinaman gives it:
Was gal named Mol had lamb,
Eieas all same white snow,
Evly place Mol gal walkey.
Ba, Ba, hoppee long too.
We heard a son of Erin trying to
surround Mary and her little lamb the
other day, and this IS the way he under
stood it:
Begorry, Mary had aIittle shape.
And the wool was white entoirly;
And wheriver Mary would stir her sthumpz
The young shape would follow her
completely.

at 800, 900, and the export of petroIe-
um for the year 1877 was in round

The following are some of the rules
that George Washington, at the age Of
thirteen, wrote out probably for his
own adoption:
Every action in company ought to be
with some sign of respect to those
present.
Be no fatterer, neither play with any
one that delights not TO be played with.
Read no letters, books or papers in
company.
Come not near the books or papers of
another, as if TO read them.
Look MT over another when he is
writing letter.
Let your countenance be cheerful,
but in serious matters be grave.
Show not yourself glad at another's
misfortune.
Let Jour discourses with others on
matters Of business be short.
1t Is good manners to let others 5ipeak
first.
Strive not with your super iurs in
argument, but be modest.
When a man does all he can, do net
blame him, though he succeeds not well
Take admonitions thankfully.
Be not hasty to believe flying reports
to the injury of another.
In your dress be modest and consult
your condition
Play not the peacock, looking vainly
at yourself.
1t is better to be alone than in bad
company.
Let your conversation be without
malice or envy.
Urge not your friend to disclose a
secret.
Break not a jest when n7ne take
pleasure in mirth.
Speak not injurious words either in
Jest or earnest.
When you speak of God let it ever
be with reverence.
Labor to keep alive in your heart
that spark of heavenly Ere called CON
science.

An INTERESTING CEREMONY.

No ceremony is more interesting
than the one which binds pair togeth
er as man and WIFE To see two ration
al beings in the glow of youth and
hope, which invests life with halo Of
happiness, appear together and acknowl-
edge their preference for each other,
voluntarily enter into league of per
petual friendship, and call heaven and
earth to witness the sanctity of their
VOWS to think of the endearing rela-
tion, and the important consequences
which are to flow from it, as they walk
side by side through life, participating
in the same joys,the sharers of each 9th
er'ssorrows; that the smiles which kindle
to eestacy at their union must at length
be quenched in the tears of the survivor
to consider all this, the epitome of the
whole circle of human sympathies and
interests, awakens the deepest and ho
Hest feelings of the heart.

FARM NOTES.

Use only tin pals in milking.
Sunfiower seed is good for poultry
Keep the poultry house clean and
tidy.
For lawns SOW grass seed without
grain.
Clover is one of the best and cheapest
fertilizers.
Unbuckle harness before cleaning
and oiling it.
Good wheat produces seventy-four
per cent. of fine flour.
There is 70 certain remedy yet known
for the pear blight
Mulching is nearly as good as cult
walton for strawberry plants.
If you would clear your house oi
rats, kerosene one and let him 60.
A dose of paint is q preventative Of
loose jointed farm implements.
Apple trees, when planted in good
soil, should be set forty feet apart
Never, under any circumstances
leave your milk strainer at the barn
over night
Plant peas deeper than has been the
custom, as they are less likely to mil
dew and viii be more productive
Make your fences high and strong SO
they will keep cattle and pigs out. II
you have brush make your lots strong
and secure, and keep the hogs from the
corn.
Plant grape vines, for there are few
plants that do SO well in variety Of
soils and climate, while there is no
more delicious fruit, or that may be
cultivated with less trouble, and YET
none is more neglected by the farming
community.
He who houses his farm implements
in the corners of fences, whose fowls
roost in the trees during the winter
whose manure pile teaches into a road
side ditch, and who wipes his nose OF
his ceatsleeve, makes plteous complaint
| that farming don't pay.

A por's COMPOSITION on CHRIS.

Girls is the only folks that has their
own way every time. Girls is of sew
eral thousand kinds, and sometimes
one girl can be like several thousand
other girls if she wants to do anything
Girls is alike one way, and they are all
like cats. IF you rub 'em the right way
of the hair they'll purr and look sweet
at you, but if you rub 'em the wrong
way or step on their tails, they'll claw
you. So long as you let a girl have her
own way she's nice and sweet; but Just
cross her and she'll spit at you worse
nor a cat. Girls is also like mules
If girl don't want to believe any
thing you can't make her. If she
knows it's so she won't say so. BROTH
er George says he doesn't like big girls,
but he does like little ones, and when 1
saw him a kissing Jennie Jones last
Sunday, and told him of what he'd
said, he said he was biting her,
cause he didn't like her. l think he
hurt her, for she followed and run, and
there was big red spot all over both
of her two cheeks. This is all l know
about girls, and father says the less
know about them the better off l am.

rHE FAMILY HAMMER.

True to life is the following from one
of the American humorists, upon that
exasperating subject, 'The family ham
mer:"
No well-regulated family pretends to
be without hammer. And yet there
is nothing that goes to make up the
equipment Of domestic establishment
that causes one-half as much agony and
profanity as hammer. It is always
an old hammer, with a handle that is
inclined to silver, and always bound to
slip. The face is always as full
moon and as smooth as glass. When
it glides off nail and mashes a finger
we unhesitatingly deposit it in the back
yard, and observe that we will never
use it again. But the blood has hardly
dried on the rag before we are in search
of the same hammer again, and ready
to make another trial. The result
rarely varies, but we never profit by it.
The awful weapon goes on knocking off
our nails, and MASKING whole joints,
and slipping off the handle to the con-
fusion of mantel ornaments, and break,
ing the commandments. Yet we put
up with it, and put the handle on
again, and lay it away where it won't
get lost, and do up our smarting and
mutilated fingers, and, after all, if the
outrageous thing should disappear, We
kick up a terrible hallahalloo until it i;
found o1ai,, Til about fha fvro +,
ing influence of bad habit. It is moi
to be compared with the family ham
mer.

OF all the blunders, says the Gasd-
aaer's Monthly, that the common farm
er and some others make with trees.
none is so common or so hurtful, and
which he is so long finding out, and Of
which he might know so certainly. as
the practice of cutting off lower limbs.
All over the country nothing is more
common than to see mutilated trees on
almost every farm. Big limbs cut off
near the body of the trees, aad Of
course rotting to the heart. This is
a heart sin against nature. The very
limbs necessary to protect the tree from
wind and sun, and just where limbs are
needed most, are cut away. But the
greatest injury is the rotting that al
ways takes place when big limb IS
sawed of-too big to heal over, it must
rot, and being kept moist bv the grow
ing tree, is In the right condition to
rot, aad being on the body, the rotting
goes to the heart and hurts the whole
tree. It is common all over the coun
try TO see large orchards mutilated in
this way. We often see holes in trees
where big limbs are cut away, where
squirrels and even raccoons could crawl
in. Perhaps the only reason these
trimmers would give is that the lower
limbs were easiest got at, and some
would say they wanted to raise crop
under the tree.

A SAD END.-A woman named Don
novan, with two children in her arms,
jumped into the river at Cleveland a
few days ago. She clasped the children
tightly to her breast, and the trio
drowned together. The bodies were
recovered. The woman was about
thirty years of age. The children, a
pretty little boy and girl, were aged
respectively two and three years. The
cause Of the rash act seems to have
been family trouble. The neighbors
say the husband and wife were contin-
qally quarreling, and that evening he
came home drunk and abused her,
when she left, taking the children with
her, with the above sequel. Donnovan
has been arrested.
