The Democracy of this County.

The ARGUS tenders siucere and heart
felt congratulations to the democrats of
this county who stood like good men and
true 10 solid phalanx for the straight dem
ocratic ticket. Although we have been de-
feated in this county when by good right
we ought to have been victorious, yet none
the less is praise due to all who manfully
withstood all inducements to leave the
ranks and proved themselves democrats of
the oden stripe. We belong still to the
grand old party OF the whole country We
are the really victorious party at large. and
though we have suffered defeat here and
there it has been under circumstances
which do not make it the fault of the true
democracy, Desertion and faction has
done its worst. 1t has mustered its full
streBgth-it has played ioto the hands Of
our republican opporents--it has lent it
self in every possible way to encompass the
defeat Of the democracy, but it has
signaily failed. The democrats
will have the next congress
without fail, and will have it by clear
working majority in both houses over all
possible combined opposition. We could
have wished better condition Of affairs
in this county, but there is no occasion for
detection. The republicans only elect their
candidates by plurality, not by MAORI
ty, Those who thought they saw or pre-
tended they saw the way to defeat the re-
publicans by inaugurating third party can
now study the folly of their action at their
leisure, and if they are honestly opposed
to republican supremacy will come to the
democracy and work where they can be Of
service.
Democrats, there is nothing humiliating
! in au honorable defeat; you have done
nobly under the circumstances, you have
preserved your organization, you have
evidenced your fealty and devotion to the
democratic party of the state and the ma.
ton, and we are still vigorous and prepared
/ for future struggles. The future will al
no distant day set all things right.

Two Noted Grave Robbers.

Our readers will remember the account
given in these columns of the robbing of
the grave of the Hon. Scott Harrison, in
Ohio, last May, the body being found in
the dissecting-room of the Ohio Medical
College. Public indignation justly brands
any man as a scoundrel who will rob the
grave of the dead. But there are two
noted grave robbers in the country, SO far
from being the subjects of the people
wrath, are universally lauded for their
virtues. The reason is plain. While the
former class steal the dead bodies of our
loved ones to submit them to the dissecting
knife, these Only rob the graves to restore
the living victims to our hearts and homes.

A Terrible Fate.

In India lepers are occasionally
buried alive. When leper is past all
hope of living more than few days or
weeks, his nearest relations arrange,
with his approval, for his immediate
interment. Self-destruction by burial
is called sanaah, and is regarded as SO
highly meriuorous that the disease Is
sure TO die out in the family of the vic
tim. So lately as 1875 a leper named
Oomah, living and lingering at Serohi,
entreated his wife to put an end to his
misery. A bunnia, or tradesman, was
accordingly engaged to make the nsces-
sary arrangements, which simply con-
sisted in hiring a couple of laborers to
dig a hole, into which they thrust
Oomah, he consenting to his own death.
The Durbar, coerced by the British Gov
ernment, at last took cognizance of this
incident, and fined the widow one hun
dred rupees. The bunnia was sentenced
to three years imprisonment, and the
grave-diggers each to two years; but it
is very unlikely that they will undergo
half that punishment.

PEA SoUP.-Use half pint or seven
ounces of dried peas, for every two
quarts of soup you want. Put them in
three quarts of cold water after washing
them we'll; bring them slowly to a boil !;
add bone or bit of ham, il you have it
to spare, one turnip, and one carrot
peeled, one onion stuck with three
cloves, and simmer three hours, stirring
occasionally to prevent burning; then
pass the soup through sieve with the
aid of a potato masher, and If 1t shows
any sign of settling, stir into it one
tablespoonful each Of butter and flour
mixed together dryl, this will prevent
settling; meantime fry some dice OF
stale bread, about two slices cut half an
inch square, in hot fat, drain them on a
sieve, and put them In the bottom OF
the soup tureen in which the pea soup
is served; or cut some bits of very hard
stale bread or dry toast, TO use instead
of the fried bread. BY the time the
soup is done, it will have boiled down
to two quarts, and will be very thick
and good.
