The dhse in Virginia and Indiana
ofmixed marriages black and white
forbidden by their laws, and the
validity of the laws sustained by
their respective Courts, are referred
to by Republican journals as evidence
Of the prejudice Of caste that still
rankles in the bosom Of the Demo
cratic party. They denounce such
laws as relics ofbarbarism, and being
in antagonismto the spiritof progress
that made the colored' people citizens
and voters. They simply show that
like progress has not been made in
the social condition Of the races, or
in the civil and political. Time
enough has not yet elapsed to wipe
out laws forbidding marriages be-
tween the races, though social rec
ognition has been reached in other
ways in the Northern States. But
the Democratic party is not alone Ii
able TO the charge Of opposition to
miscegenation, and Democratic
States to the charge ofmaintaining
laws forbidding marriages between
blacks and whites, Rhode Island,
Maine and Michigan, leading Repub-
lican States, have laws forbidding
under severe penalties mixed mar.
riages. There are doubtless other
Republican States, whose statute
books contain like laws. The world
is moving, but Aot strongly, in the
direction Of the repeal of those laws,
though p growing laxity to enforce
them may be observable in some
States. = Enquirer.

Mr.. Ell. Lowe predicts a period
of drouth during the present year,
basiDg the prophecy upon the theory
ofa cycle ofthe seasons once in eleven
years, or thereabout. In 1868 he
finds y drouth recorded, another in
1857 and others .in1l S45s 1884, and
1879, not exactly eleven years in
every Instance, but approximately
that plumber. A London, paper,
speaking of the prediction, says Mr..
Lowe does not stake everything on
this prediction for he admits irregu-
larities; but he plainly says we are
very likely TO have a drouth this year.

We have lately had brought to our notice a
new kitchen utensil, the real merit of which
entities it to something more than the passing
notice we can give to it. We allude to the
Peerless Flour and Meal Sitter, manufactured
by the Peerless Sitter Company of Cincinnati.
combination sitter, weigher, measure, mix
er, rice washer, flour scoop, tomato, pump
kin, fruit, wine, jelly and starch strainer.
Twelve distinct articles combined in one, and
is. sold at price within the reach Of every
family. To purchase separate utensils for all OF
the above pun poses would cost more than ten
times the amount asked for the Peerless Slit
er. House keepers willappreciate the Peer
less Sitter for the following reasons 1t does
away with the putting of ones hands in the
| flour, which in cold weather is very unpleas-
| ant; can be worked so easily and rapidly; will
| sift five times as fast as a common sieve, and
| much faster and better than any other sitter
ever introduced. 1t is operated with simple
| and easy lever motion, and is acknowledged
| by every one to be far preferable to the awk-
ward and unhandy rotary motion in sifters
heretofore sold. 1t seems to us that it would
be no trouble for an energetic lady or gentle
man in this. vicinity to sell Peerless Sitter to
| go into every flour barrel in this county--we
know of nothing that would pay them any
thing like as well, and would recommend
them to drop postal card at once to the Peer
less Sitter Company, 1876 and 1877 Central Ave-
nue., Cincinnati, Ohio, for territory and de-
scriptive circul srs and terms, mentioning our
paper.
