Colored Democrats.

SOtOIcu CcsiOSiokos
The opinion prevails among our
colorcd citizens that colored man
cannot bc anything else than Re-
publican. There is evidently consid.
cradle misapprchension as to the true
political position the citizen bears TO
the State. In Republican govern
ment like ours great political parties
will exist i'm ordor that the opinions
Of one set of individuals may not be.
como oppressive to another class.
The constitution recognizes the citi-
zen as controlling element in the
government and therefore he is enti-
tied to his opinion rs to how the gov.
crnment should be administered. A
number of citizens entertaining the
same opinion come together and or.
ganizc themselves into a party tho
better TO carry into execution their
peculiar views. These opinions arc
not based upon the color of the skin
the race to which the citizen belongs
or the section Of country in which he
happens to live; but they should be
founded upon honest views as TO the
most practical method of administer.
ing the affairs Of the government re-
sardlcss Of these accidental circum-
stances.
Every honest man, who has the
welfare of his fellow citizen, in the
aggregate, at heart, will spurn any
such control over his political con-
duct rs will -orcc him to occupy a
position his honest judgment does
not approve. If a colored man, there
fore, entertain views in accord with
those of his white ncighbors, he, to
all intcnts and purposes, belongs to
tho came party. To be consistent
md tS1asat tttSsaasatihfstaiR his pelitical mail
hood, he must 80 declare himself and
use every honest effort to secure the
supremacy of his party.
- We know quite number Of such
colorcd mcn-men who are Demo-
Gratis now and have been from the be-
ginning Of their freedom. They are
honest in their opinions, and for this
honesty, they have suffered at the
hands Of their fellow citizens Of the
same race.
We trust the time is near at hand
when the colorcd people will be sufli-
cicntly educated TO think for them
selves, and will he bold enough to as
scrt and 10 maintain their honest
opinions. When this is the case, be
will bc respected by his fellows and
npplauded in course of conduct
where he is now condemned. Indeed in
view of the corruption of The last doz-
en- years and the utter failure Of the
Radicals to better the condition of
the race, we cannot undertana how On
honest colorcd maa can be other than
q democrat.

seldom lasts long, unless the rider is
subsequently very attentive to this
particular. When he has thoroughly
learned his PAGES, he may be backed;
and it is good practice to place some
boy or light weight upon him at first,
SO that the difference between him
and the dumb-jeokey may not be
very perceptible, while q man leads
him about until he becomes accus-
toned and obedient to the action of
the hand and leg. After this he should
be ridden daily with q great deal of
cafe, frequently coaxed and caressed
and by degrees brought to pass car
riages and other objects he may meet,
without fear. Should he, as no in
variably will, show symptoms of fright
on beholding anything new, he must
never be beaten, but brought to ap-
proach it by kind means and made to
smell it, after which he will ever re-
member and disregard it; but on the
other hand, should punishment and
whip will, on every similar occasion,
cause him to start and fly about, in the
expectation of second punishment.
When horses are vicious or ungoverna-
BILE, the best method of conquering
them is to put them on the bit, as it is
termed, that is to rein their heads in
toward the chest and suffer them to
stand in the stable in that position for
a certain time every day. Horses in
tended for harness must always be pre-
viously broken to saddle-work, after
which they may be accustomed to wear
harness for some days, and may then be
put into break with strong, steady
horse, able to pull them along in spite
of themselves There are generally two
men employed in breaking q young
horse to harness-one who drives, and
another whose business it is to run by
the horse and seize him should he prove
unmanageable. When double break
and another horse are not to be pro-
cured, it is a good plan first to harness
the horse to be broken to a log of wood.
to which he should be attached by long
traces. In this way he seldom can do
himself mischief, and is soon taught to

NELLY.

Nor long ago-perhaps-not long
My soul heard no discordant tone,
For love ana youths sweet matin song
hearkcned to, and that alone;
But now the song is hushed- it hears
Strange music, in a harsher key,
For every sound dirge appears
Since Nelly died, who lived for me.
The summer of my life is past
Eternal winter reigns instead
For how. for me, could summer last,
When she, my only rUse, h dead?
Sweet Nelly! would thou coul..st be yet,
As once. my day, my only light
But thou art gone-the sun has set
And every day, to me. is night.
Yet, be the darkness e'er SO deep,
Let no more suns arise for me;
For night can soOthe my heart to sleep.
And, Nelly, then I'll dream of thee!

An Important Geological Fact.

Geology has shown us that Nature accom-
plishes her greatest revolutions in the earth's
surface conformation slOwly. Every year the
river makes its channel deeper, the glacier
wears deeper gorge in the Alpine rock and
the ocean tide deposits the sand it has crum-
bled from the rocks upon which it breaks.
We note the earthquake and the devastating
hurricane; but these changes are so gradual
man seldom Ob.erves them until the channel
has become overhanging cliffs, or q mountain
has disappeared before the les stream, or the
ocean has given US Florida. Thus 1t is in
disease. Our attention is attracted by acute
diseases, as fevers, cholera, etc. while chronic
diseases (often the most dangerous in result),
being slow in their development, are seldom
noticed until they have made an almost inef-
faceable impres sion upon the system. Per-
sons believing themselves comparatively
healthful are Ofttimes the victims of these
diseases, and only become aware Of their
presence when relief Is almost impossible.
Diseases of the liver and stomach are the
commonest of these chronic affections. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery aud Pleas
and Purgative Pellets are never failing rem
edies for these diseases. They produce q
healthful secretion of the bile, prevent indi-
Restiun BY regulating the bowels, and impart
. vigorous tone to the whole 81 stem.

Singular Facts About Elephants.

THE extent to which the elephant can
be trained is remarkable. He will lift
the largest teak logs. and teak is
among the heaviest of wood, and ar
range them in piles. He will push a
log with his foot against the saw and
carry the sawed wood in his tlsks or
his trunk. In all these maneuvers he
is directed by the mahout, who sits on
his neck and manages him with goa3,
or more generally with the word of
mouth. Sometimes an elephant is so
wild and untamable as to be danger
Gus, and yet he will serve his masters.
We saw one animal pushing logs about,
who had killed four or five of the work
men. He was kept in order by lad
who carried sharp spear, keeping the
spear always near the elephants eye.
The spear was little more than moral
influence. If the elephant really wished
to attack his keepers spear would be
of little use beyond a stab or two. The
memory of these stabs, however, was
as effective to the elephant as chains
or thongs, and he rolled his logs aboue
in the most unconcerned manner. Tht
manner in which the elephant kills his
victim is to rush upon and trample
him, or throw him in the air with the
trunk and trample him when he falls.
The animal has immense power in his
trunk, and delicacy and precision in
touch, as well as crushing strength. 1t
will pick up banana or a wisp of
grass as surely as log.
There is no efficient way of punish
ing the elephant except by the aid of
the other elephants. A few days be-
fore we came to 2angoon one of the
animals demurred to 60 on boat.
Two others were marched up, and,
under the direction of the mahout, they
pounded the resisting animal with their
trunks until, for his life's sake, he was
glad to embark.
Elephants learn the ways of civilized
labor. When the bell ring for dinner
he will drop his log and march away.
If he has been trained to rest on Sum
day no power can make him work on
the seventh day.-Letter from India.

Breaking and Training Colts.

The breaking or training of young
horses is q matter of great importance,
and should never be intrusted to any
one of harsh cruel disposition, or a
violent. hasty temper; as under such a
master the very best-tempered horse
may be rendered surly and vicious, or
at least timid and given to shying.
Horses are generally broke at much too
early an age; we find them racing be-
fore they are three years old, and at
constant work before four. This we
are persuaded is the chief cause of
number of contracted feet met with,
and the consequent cases of lameness
that are constantly presenting them
selves to our notice. Farmers in gen.
eral put their colts to moderate work
at three years old; and although we
admit that the exercise they are thus
forced to take may accelerate their
growth and improve their constitution,
yet this advantage is more than coun-
terbalanced by their being shod ut
period when the foot is still growing,
and by the frequent strains and sudden
exertions they endure when fresh at
their work. Formerly horses were
never even handled before four years
old, broke when coming five, and not
put to real labor before rising six.
However, we do not approve of letting
colt have it all his own way until he
is four years old, as many a colt proves
very unmanageable at that age, which
if properly handled sooner might have
become extremely tractable. At three
years old colt may have a halter put
on him for few days when turned to
grass, in order to accust0m him to.it;
after which he may be led about every
day, and handled in all sorts of ways
that is, have his feet taken up, be
rubbed with q hay or straw. wisp,
etc. The next thing is to put the saddle
and bride on, and afterward the
dumb jockey, which may be done in
the stable, where he may be left loose
ly tied up for some hours every day,
until he be no longer averse to wearing
them. No violence or force of any
kind should ever be used with young
horse; much more may be gained by
coaxing and kindness. Having been
let out daily, so as to become familiar
lied with objects before new to him, he
may be returned to his pasture; taking
care every now and then to repeat the
lesson, which he will seldom forget.
The first thing to be done in breaking
q horse, after having rendered him
perfectly quiet by the means detailed
above, is to fasten long rope to the
nose-strap of his head-piece, and hav-
ing put large snaffle-bit in his mouth
and fastened the Ieins to the dumb
jockey. to make him move round in q
circle, first in q walk, then q trot, and
lastly in canter, in order to teach
him his PAGES. His head should be
little inclined toward the breaker, by
shortening the inner side rein. It may
here be remarked. that some people
are in the habit of refining q young
horses head up very tight and high to
the cross-trees or dumb-jockey, in
order to give him more lofty action;
but this should never be done to excess,
- they are very apt to be thrown down
or made to cur, when their natural &C
ton is much altered. Beside the effect
