THE Republican press are very anX-
ious to convince the public that the
Democrats are about to disgrace them
selves by "back-down' from their pO-
sitIon upon the election laws. The
"back-down" in order TO be disgracetu,
must be an abandonment Of a just posi-
ton. There would be no disgrace in
receding from a wrong position. Do the
Republicans, therefore, concede that the
demands made by the Democracy are
Just and right?

The Best Love.

are anxious To escape from the home
must pause moment and rem ember that
this is so. Itis right that the hour should
come when you, in your tun could be.
come a wife and mother and give the
lest love to others, but that will be just
it, Nobody--not lover, not husband
will ever be so tender or SO true AZ
your mother and father Never again,
after strangers have broken the beautiful
bond, will there be anything so sweet as
the little circle of mother, father and
children, where you were cherished, pro.
tected, praised and kept from harm. You
may not know it now, but you will know
itsome day. Whomsoever you marry,
true and good though he may be, will,
after the lover days are over and the hon
eymoon has waned, give you only what
you deserve of love and svmpathy--and
usually much less, never more. You
must watch and be wary, lest you lose
that love which came in through the eyes
because the one who looked thought you
beautiful. But those who bore you, who
loved you when you were that dreadful
little object small baby, and thought
YOU eNluisitively beautiful and wonder

that are fairer and forms that are more
graceful than yours. You are their very

a New Article of Commerce.

An American has brought to light a
curious little insect, which, though long
known and utilized in Central America,
has not hitherto attracted the attention
which, from its description, it undoubt-
eddy deserves. This is the min or neen,
a small insect allied to the well-known
cochneal having the property of produc-
ing an oil of a remarkable valuable kind.
The insects, which feed on the mango
tree and other plants of the same kind,
are collected by the inhabitants of Yucca
tan during the rainy season from April 10
September, and either thrown into hot
water or placed over a fire, when the
grease is easily collected. The insect itself
is about an inch long. of yellow color,
and the fat is .yellewsh brown sub
stance with peculiar oily odor, in con-
sistency resembling lard or suet according
to the temperature in which it is kept.
its melting PORTS is considerable higher
than that of butter, and when exposed TO
great heat, it changes its condition,
having evaporated a portion of its oil,
till 1t becomes tough but flexible gela-
tinous mass, insoluble in turpen inc, and
unaffected by heat or cold, which might
be very valuable in mixing paints or as
lacquer or varnish. BY burning this pro-
duct thick resinous oil is produced pos
sessing remarkable adhe.iveness, resemb-
ling a solution CT India-rubber, which re-
tains its semi-huidi.y for several days
In its natural state, when first collected,
and at an ordinary temperature, the grease
is easily soluble. Besides being used by
the natives of Yucatan as varnish and for
similar purposes, it is said to be highly
valuable as medical oil for outward ap-
plication. The suggestions for its en-
ployment are very various. 1t might be
used as a material for rendering paper or
textile fabrics waterproof, or mucilage
in many cases where glue or gum are
sustabie, or, as already suggested, for both
painting and vanishing. The insect is
said 10 exist in enormous numbers, aud
as it it feeds on plants which are of COM
mercial value themselves, without injur-
ing them, the neen grease ought to be-
come as important product as shellac
or cochineal. which are produced by in
sects Of the same genus. Frank Lesie's

What Garden Have You?

The best paying plot on any farm,
and the one yielding the most enjoy
ment. too, is the vegetable gardener
Kitchen garden as it is frequently
called, and quite appropriately, espe-
cially when the "kitchen folks" have
the chief or sole care of it. A good
supply of garden products for the table
costs less than the standard bread, meat,
and potatoes, is more healthful and
nourishing than all corn beef, salt pork,
and the small assortment usually found
on the formers table. Need we add
anything about palatableness, comfort,
home enjoyment Contrast table set
nearly the year around with bread, salt
pork, corned beef, potatoes, boiled cab
bage varied with hash, mush,. buck
wheats, and occasionally few items,
with table well supplied in succession
and abundantlv with asparagus, green

We repeat with emphasis. that every
farmer can have most, if not all the
above pleasant and healthful variety
with less labor and less expense than
the table can be supplied in any other
way. Every days work in the garden
will produce several dollars worth OF

more or less, according to the size of the
family, will suffice. Select the best soil
