init Canada to decide upon her own policy
be 1t reciprocity or annexation, the latter
will come first. When the public sentiment
OF Canada becomes ripe for annexation
and II is fast ripening under the want OF
reciprocity and q free market on this side
for its wealth Of products-then the Cana
das will fall into Columbia's lap to be
nursed and reared as young States in the
family Of the American Union. Reciprocity
does not tend in that direction, and hence 1t
is not desirable.
THE DEMOCRATS AND THE SOLDIERS.
The Democratic party has suddenly de-
vcloped boundless love for the soldier.
The leaders have Issued campaign docu-
ments to show what the Democratic House
has done for the soldier, and their organs
take up these documents and publish them
with flaming head lines to show what the
Democratic record is on this behalf Hero
is q specimen of the Democratic record, and
IL is only one of many cases: Among other
bills for which credit is claimed for the
Democratic House is one to provide that all
pensions on account of death or wounds re-
ceivcd or disease contracted in the service
of the United States during the late war Of
the rebellion, which have been granted OF
which shall hereafter be granted, shall COM
mcnce from the date of death or discharge
from the service of the United States, and
for the payment Of arrears Of pensions, and
for other purposes.
This bill originated in and was passed by
the House by more than two thirds vote ;
but let us see from the records how much
of credit is due to the Democratic party for
it. In the first place, the bill was intro
duced by a Republican member, Mr.. HAS
RELL, of Kansas, and on the roll-call the
vote was 16i yeas to 81 nays. Of the 16l
in the affirmative only - were Democrats,
and of these ~ only five came from q
former slave State. They were HEYKLE,
of Maryland; KESSA and WILSON, Of West
Virginia REA, Of Missouri, and ROBERT-
son, of Louisiana. 1t will be observed that
one man alone from State actually in re-
bellion voted for the bill. The neg
ativc vote was made up wholly of
Democrats, all of them from the South
(whencc the Democracy draws its forces,
except EICKHoFF and MAYHAM, of New
York, and PHELPs, OF Connecticut OF
those recorded as not voting, CHALMERS
and MANNING. of Mississippi; CLARK and
Ross, Of New jersey; CLARK and FRANK
LIN, Of Missouri EDEN, OF Illinois; HART
RIDGE, of Georgia; I.rrrR-LL, Of Caiiior-
mia; MORSE, Of Massachusetts,; TICKER, Of
Virginia; WADDELL, of North Carolina
and YoU 80, of Tennessee, all lodged the
vote. They are all recorded as voting oil
another question not more than half an houi
before that, and EDEN participated in the
brief debate that preceded the roll-cell. II
is, therefore, very manifest that the Demo
cratic party has not shadow of n claim Of
credit either for the introduction or the
passage of the bill. They would have de-
feated il could they have done so. All that
the House accomplished for the soldiers was
accomplished by the aid of Republican
votes The Democrats claim credit for it,
but they take good care not to analyze and
publish the votes on these important ques-

Without Note or Conn mcnt,

Two stories of suicide are in all minds
to-'lay-one of them. story of lite in a
palace. the other a story Of life in tene-
ment house. The actors in the two terri
bic dramas were socially as far removed
from each other as the poles. The one
was rich. the other poor; the one refined.
the other without culture. The one lived
in luxury. with friends in abundance, with
wealth and with all the comforts that
wealth can provide: the other lived in mar
row quarters. upon scanty food. and with
little or nothing Of comfort. One thing
alone they had in common. and that was
intolerable wrctchcdness. and tie wretch
edness was wrought in both cases by alco-
hOl.
In one case il was poor working man,
who gave way to despair and killed his
children and himself because his wife was
drunken. In the other. a refined. cultured.
sensitive woman, young wife who had all
that wealth and social connections could
procure, who was accounted particularly
fortunate and happy. voluntarily went to
her death 10 escape the intolerable torture
of life with a husband who was ayictim of
strong drink.
With these fragical stories for text il
would be easy 10 writca sermon: but the
lessons that the stories suggest are trite
and worn with much r1iteration. The
stories themselves carry their moral with
them. as similar stories told every day in
the newspapers do. and they who heed
them not would not heed even though one
should rise from the dead.

EVERY land owner should know that he
has a clear title to his real estate. A yery
small thing may, in tie course of time.
serve as Il foundation upon which to set I'D
fraudulent claim. Deeds are. frequently
not recorded, which form an important
chain in the link; and, as time passes away.
and the circumstances are forgotten. no
one questions the title, and all is wen.
Years afterward, when the previous own
ers are dead, some question comes ND.
some widow or minor heirs put in a claim,
and lawsuit. with its expenses and de-
lays, is the result. There are thousand, of
farmers WHO are not able to describe their
farms by section, town and range; and if
they were called on to do so before Court
they would ignominiously fail. There are
SO many ways of clouding title that the
best OF men are sometimes imposed on.
A farm may be enormously written and
the wrong description placed on the record.
ltas, therefore, important to keep Your
tax receipts forever, if need be; and, in
case an erroneous judgment is found
against property, not to trust some one
else to have it corrected. but attend to il at
once. Releases Of mortgages should be
looked after, and a strict compliance with
the law be required. There is penalty
for neglecting 10 release mortgage when
it has been paid; but great many mort
gagees live outside of the State, and con-
sequently are not gotatable. While health
lasts and Witnesses are alive. let the matter

wonder that it does not kinde flames of
discord on every hand. Without much
sensibility. ana often without reason. he

Care Of Cows.

A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man, writing on the care of COWS, says: I,
is very important that cows are well pro-
vided for in every way to afford them the
greatest cOmfort--the most essential point
to be considered by the dairyman. The
cows must be made quiet and comfortable;
pure water. from springs or pumps. is OF
great importance, and shade sufficient for
a retreat from the burning sun in the heat
of the day. The necessity of pure water
is too often overlooked. The COW, painting
with heat, is forced to the stagnant puddle
or pool, covered, perhaps, with green
scum. And when to be MIXED. she is Of
ten hurried from the pasture by dogs or
inconsiderate boys, and the little milk in
her bag is in 4 poor condition to furnish
her inhuman owner with milk from which
good butter can be made. The material
for choice butter must first be manufac-
tered from the COW. Her general health
must be secured by an abundant supply of
blood and tlesh-producing elements in all
she eats and drinks. Ii the blood is pure.
the whole system is in a healthy state.
From her blood the milk is produced. If!
one is impure, so is the other. no matter
what tie cause may be. and the causes can
be numbered by scores. There are many
ways that a cows blood can be affected by
neglect in winter. as in summer. If the
COW is cared for in every particular-the |!

treatment in all things toward her, she
will return these with compound interest

myself included. have too often omitted to
begin at the starting point. True. much
has been wisely said, and good advice given
by commencing at some of the many
points that occur after milking. But the
way OF procuring the milk has been too
much neglected. When the milk is sound
and pure there is little left 10 the. knack of
