on Decoration day, says:

of many of the breaches of etiquette
on Decoration day, says:
"There has been more folly perpetratod, more
nonsense spoken and more bad feeling engendered
this Summer, under the pretense Of honoring the
memory Of those who fell during the war, than
would suffice for all reasonable demands for two
centuries. We do not think the dead are hon
ored, and we are sure that the living are not ben
Gifted, by raising political battlecries over their
mouldering bones. II is indecent to the last de-
gree unpatriotic and unchristian to stir up hatred
and strife on such occasions. II the people Of
this country are to live in peace together, If the
reunited States are to be members OF the same
harmonious family, IL our future is to be what IL
should be--a career of unprecedented prosperity
and glory-this annual howl Of the demagogue
over the soldiers graves had better be suppressed
A healthy public opinion should condemn it in all
sections, and demand that such an abuse Of a
sacred and solemn occasion shall cease"
1t is "as true as the needle is to the
pole,n that "there will be fools amidst
Colleges and Schools" They are the
exception, of course; but give them
the opportunity for developing them
selves, and they will do it, and Decora.
tion day is the best out of tho three
hundred and sixty.fve days in the
year for these fools aforesaid to express
themselves. Locality makes no dis
tinction, because they are found or
both sides of the Potomac.

this afternoon, Kearney announced his
intention of starting next Sunday for the
east for the purpose of attending thee
ference of the greenback congressman and
labor organizations, to be held at Wash
ington January Sth. He proclaimed the
republican party as common enemy
which he intended to fight the next pres
idential campaign. He also announced
that the friends of the people would con-
triye at ibe assembling of the legislature
TO organize the house in opposition to the
republicans This is in harmony with
the report telegraphed some time ago to
the effect that bargain was part of the
programme between the workingmen and
the democracy with view to controlling
the organization.
Late this afternoon the wind began to
blow heavily from the southeast, and
soon after rain began falling. There ID

When to Sell.

Every one who is engaged in any de-
partment of agriculture or manufacture
is supposed to have, from time to time,
something to exchange or SELL On the
disposition of this surplus depends the
supply of all articles that the person does
not raise, embracing all implements and
improvements OF every kind that require
an outlay. Hence it is matter of mo-
ment that the sale of these things be
made at the time the best price all things
considered, will be obtained. Is it pos
sible to be certain of this time? In gem
eral. no. There many articles that con-
stitute exceptions. Those that cannot
be, conveniently preserved, must, of
course, be thrown on the market at once
Others that are in demand in certain sea-
sons only viii be governed by the season
trade. But the most common and yalu-
able products of human industry are
always in market, and yet are subject to
frequent fluctuations in price. Such are
the leading products of the farm and
most of the valuable manufactures. As to
these no fixed rule can be given. but the
following suggestions will commend
themselves to the prudent: One should
keep himself informed of the state of the
market, especially in places accessible to
him, and far as practicable in places
whose trade affects directly his locai mar
ket. The best way to secure this is TO
take and read good papers, that give not
only the tabular market statements, but
also intelligent and impartial comments
and counsels. When necessity compels
one to sell he can only submit regardless
| of price, buS in all other cases he ought
to govern himself consistently by reason.
able probabilities. Unless in the face Of
comparative certainty there will be nc
advance, economy plainly forbids the
disposal of commodity ut price that
is not more than its cost to the producer
Business cannot live on losses. A GER
| tain farmer, who always prospered made
1t a rule to sell everything he could snare
as soon as it was in marketable con
dition. He never made much at ont
time, but he avoided all risks of rogue,
and fires, all injuries by vermin anf
weather, all the trouble and expense O
protracted storage, all the reduction O
shrlnkage and accidental waste; and b,
was receiving money, now and then
throughout the year. 1t is safe adyanc,
to say that every one should be conten
to sell at a reasonable profit. To wal
for very high prices is dangeron
| policy, and, especially as to the neces
saries of life, very bad morals. Wha
man must have, his fellow man shoul,
be willing to furnish at rates that are no
exorbitant or oppressive. Busines
should never violate the principles O
magnanimity and true charity. Ruro
