THE MONEY POWER.

During the dark days that have sue
ceeded the panic the Democratic leaders
have gone through the country intlaming
the minds of the people against what they
call the Money Power. Now l want to
say few words to you ON this head. You
have been taught to hate the money
power of the country. The seeds of COM
munism have been sedulously sown
among you by designing demagogues.
These demagogues have taught the poe
pie to believe that it is almost crime for
one man to have money and another to
have none. Now, what is Money Power?
Let us be just to reason and common

men would make us. Protection was a
principle of government dear to our

greatest underlying causes of the Revolu-

just what the Southern brigadiers at

The Dignity Of the Senate.

It is thought that the Senate is losing
it's dignity. It never had much dignity
to lose, partly because it has had so
many Presidency-seekers in it, for to
seek the Presidency spoils mans tenn
per if it be good, and makes it worse if
it be bad. There used to be as hot fights
in the Senate as any that have occurred
in the present session, and displays of
guardism were not entirely un-
known in that body. Henry Clay, being
Secretary of State, called out Senator
Randolph, and took shot at him, be-
cause old Roanoke blackguarded him in
the EXTREMIST style. How Mr.. Clay him
self came down upon Mr.. Choate in the
Senate is not forgotten, and Mr. Benton
and Mr.. Clay had stiff bouts, and so did

A Child Swallows a Pin.

A little over a year ago little daugh-
ter of Mr.. Charles Schuyler, of this vii
lage, swallowed an ordinary brass pin.
Her parents were at first very much
alarmed, but time passed on, and, no i'll
ness ensuing, it was supposed that the
difficulty had been removed. In Sep
TENDER last the child began to show in
dications of illness, such as derange-
ment of the stomach, and intense pains,
which, in some instances, almost pro-
duced commissions. Added to these, a
large swelling came on her side, which
took the form of an abscess or tumor,
and medical advice was taken, the doc
tors, however, no. agreeing as to the
nature of the swelling. Finally it was
poulticed and lanced, and has been a
running sore until the present time.
Two or three weeks ago, as the child
was dressing, she complained to her
mother that there was silver in the
sore, and upon examination the mother
saw the point of pin projecting, and
pulled it out. The child became quite
sick, and kept her bed for some time
afterward, bat is now better, and it is
supposed that, as soon as the virus Gre
ated by the pin is expelled from her
system, she will entirely recover. The
pin was incrusted with a, coating of rust
to double it's natural size, and must
have worked through the walls of the
stomach and through other organs in
order to reach the place where it was
found. Geneseo (N. ~ Republican,

ascribed to Osiris, twenty centuries be
fore the Christian era and it was known tt
the anciens as wine of barley. In the
modern times, the nationalities of Latin
origin drink wine more freely thar

much beer. The agriculture of Euro

by the popular demand fol

decades, beer has been rapidly
gaining favor in Latin countries.
Beer saloons now flourish in Paris,

seven and one half pounds and contains

Watering Plants in Pots.

"How often shall water nv plaDts?" is
question SO frequently asked that 1 shall
take it for my text this week. Many
plants require to be kept moist all the year
round, as Azaleas, India Rubber Tree Myrtles,
Heaths, Jerusalem Cherry aud many others.
Some plants require season of absolute rest,
and not one drop of water to be given them in
two or three months Fuchsias, Lemon Yer
benas, Grape Myrtles and several other shrubby
plants will winter in a dry cellar without one
drop of water. About as good a rule as 1 can
give in regard to watering plantsis this: When
ever you see the surface soil in the flower pot
has become like dry dust, then give water
enough to soak the plant thor ughly. Above
all things, avoid what is termed dribbling,"
and / can best describe this from an incident
of my own observation. I know an enthusiasts
tic flower lover, who murders her plants with
over kindness. just as regularly as the lady
arises from the breakfast table, she will give
all her plants little water, to brighten them
up, she says. Now the notion is all wrong
