A Greal Brng tame.

There never was q greater game o.
brag played than is now being perform
ed upon the political stage by the Dem
ocratic party. They count 1873 electoral
votes sure for Hancock from the Solid
South, aud this count is but fair 10
say is warranted by the we'll ascertain
ed fact that every one Of the old slave
and rebel States will vote against the
Republican candidates for President
and Vice President as they did in the
memorial contest of 1860, just before
the outbreak Of the late civil war. With
these 1873 votes To start with they only
require AZ votes from the North or free
S'a es to make up q majority Of the
electoral vote. To make up these re.
quired AZ votse, and more besides, they
claim New York IS votes, Indiana Is
votes, New Jersey 3 votes and Connec
ticut votes, making 65, or 18 more
than are required to elect. Some OF
the more sanguine Of them go so far as
to claim California 6 votes Maine 7
votes Ohio % votes Pennsylvania
% votes, and q number of other States,
but generally leaving Iowa and Yer.
mont for the Republicans.
Nobody disputes that they have not
full right to claim the whole 1873 cleo.
toral votes OF the South, for the bull
doing plan there has been a perfect
success. II has made sixteen States
solid for the D ,mocratic party just as
the same plan made eleven Of the old
slave States soil for rebellion before
the war. In spite however Of southern
soil iity the battle for southern suprsm-
74sy was | s.. then, and unless the
American people have lost the pstri-
otic inp ulses which then stirred their
bosoms hey will not succeed now
though tbs Trogau horse does enter
largely into The character oftheir game
Of brag. The elections in the North
can neither bs carried by bul dozing,
nor bEaggiug. The boast Of carrying
States like California, Maine, Ohio and
Pennsylvania is simply absurd. So far
from gaining States in the North the
Democrats will not be able to even hold
their own. Without the 81 electoral
votes Of New York they are confessed
ly beaten. They cannot make up the
Al required vots without New York.
The indications are now that the State
will vote for the Republican electors
and that will settle the question with
out taking into consideration the votes
OF Connecticut, Indiana and New Jel-
sey.
So far as test of strength has been
made between the two parties in the
North the Republicans have more than
held their own. Even the late vote in
Maine goes % shoE that the Democrat
ic party ia far cehind the Greenback
srj. without Greenback aid the Demo
Gratis are in a minority in every North
ern State and fusion between Demo
Gratis and Greenbackers on mixed cleo
toral tickot, will, wherever attempted
be sure to lead to a failure. The No
vember fight for the Presidency will b.
asq1ars battle bstween Garfield ant
Hancock. The solid Svuth has mad

A Chinese Holiday Festival.

The San Francisco correspondent of
the New York Tribune writes: To see
Chinatown Alright, one must visit it
during the Chinese New Year.-the great
national festival which occurs generally
in the second week in February. For
the poor Chinese the holiday lasts two
days; for the wealthy it means a week
az ten days of constant rejoicing ami
'mplete suspension of business. 1t
lAeans more to the Chinese than any
feast-tide in the Christian calendar. 1t
marks not only the beginning of the
year, but the adjustment of all business
accounts. Hapless, indeed, is the fate
of the Chinaman the debit side of whose
ledger at this time is '' booming" while
the credit side is stricken with hopeless
depression. If his case is not too bad
he makes compromise with his cred
itors and starts afresh. But the Chinese
have one very good doctrine, that fire.
quent insolvency is a sign of dishonesty
rather than of disaster. The Chinaman
who liquidates yearly at a ruinous dis
count to his creditors is put on the
black list. The dread of social and
business ostracism is q great bar to

are LANCE and strong, and of the meriuo
type. The Japanese Mr.. Markham pro-
nounced as the most enterprising peo-
pie among the Eastern nations At
Yokohama he found stock farms devo-
ted to thoroughbred horses, cattle and
sheep, and established fruit nurseries.
Upon one of the Government sheep
farms was flock of 600 American me-
rinos, from which two crops of lambs
had been raised, making an annual in
crease OF eighty per cent. to the flock.
Fully ninety per cent. of the sheep which
had been shipped from America were
living and in good condition. There
were also 1900 merinos from Australia
showing the same annual increase, but
not in as good condition. Mr.. Markham
described the sheep on the celebrated
farm Rambouillet, near Paris. These
approach the type of the American me-
rino, especially those bred to the delaine
form. They are comparatively free from
wrinkles, and below the American stand
ard in density of fleece and weight of
carcass.
In concluding his address, minute in
details, Mr.. Markham said that the
manufacturers complain because they
are not supplied with superfine wool.
He urged, therefore. all breeders pos
sessing superior advantages to supply
this demand. Mr.. Markham holds to
the opinion that sheep suited to this
purpose must possess moderate amount
of wrinkles and an abundant supply of
oil and yolk. AS these characteristics
are seriously deficient in the common
flocks of the country it was advised that
rapid and valuable results be accom-
plished in bringing up the low types by
the use of such rams as have the traits
in question in excess of the usual stand
ard for wool-growing flock. The speak
er had no hesitation in saying that he
had not seen any sheep in all his travels
through Europe and Asia that in the re-
spects referred te compared .favorably
with the America merinos.-N Y

water should be put on with small
paint-brush in ALI corners of the bed

place. Ii they are already there this
must be repeated as often as twice a

Also wipe the edges of the mat
tresses well with cloth wrung out of
salt and water. You must meet this
matter promptly and give it your SUI

We learned an art a few years ago OF

starting up in alarm. and with visions
of down and feathers flying all over the
room, over our clothing, and settling in
our hair. But she said, very quietly.
Don't move; you won't know it If you
don't look" But we did look, and
found that we did not know everything.
In each pillow-tick she had left an open
ing in the side seam about five or six
inches long, and at the top, in the mid
die, one about three inches long. Tax
ing a pillow in her hand, she shook the
feathers away from the side and down
in the middle of the pillow. keeping
them there with several pins while she
ripped slit in the side just as long as
the one already in the new one. These
openings she now sewed together. max
inc communication between the two.
Then she inserted her hand in the space
she had left in the end seam, and we
pinned it closely around her wrist,
leaving no room for the feathers to fly
out. Taking the pins out Of the pillow
she drew the feathers easily out of one
into the other. When they were all
out she carefully removed her hand ano
the opening was sewed up. The sean
between the two, as fast as ripped, was
pinned securely and afterwards sewee
up. The pins were taken out, the pill

Whitewashing.

Outbuildings and fences, when not
painted. ought TO be whitewashed once
or twice yearly, with a good coat Of
lime wash. It prevents decay of the
wood, and adds greatly to the appear
ance OF neatness and healthfulness. The
cellar too, under the dwelling house
should be thoroughly cleansed and aired
at this season of the year, and the walls
and ceiling well whitened. The lime is
a great purifier and will keep the cellar
sweet and wholesome. A good wash
for cellars and outbuildings may be pre-
pared in the following way: Put half q
bushel of lime into a clean water-tight
barrel. and pour over it boiling water
enough to cover it four or five inches
deep, stirring it briskly until the lime
is thoroughly slaked. After the shaking
is completed add water gradually; stir
ring it well until thin enough to use
Then add pound of salt and two
pounds of sulphate of zinc. This will
cause the wash to harden we'll, and will
prevent its cracking or rubbing off.
Almost any desired shade of color may
be given it by the addition of different
inexpensive pigments. Yellow ochre
will give shades ranging from delicate
Gre am color to yellow, according to the
quantity employed. Lamp black pro-
duces shades from gray to lead color.
A good stone color may be obtained
by adding two pounds lamp black and
four pounds raw umber to the quantity
of wash made by the above receipt. For
out door work, trif1e of color is an i'm
provement, as it is less glaring; but for
cellars, or the inside of hen houses, or
any other place where the wash is used
partly for its effect as disinfectant,
the less there is added to the lime, water
and sulphate of zinc, the better. 1t is
easily applied. as few splashes here
and there. whether on. the ground or
the cellar bottom, will do no harm; the
principal thing to be remembered is to
keep the wash well stirred so as to Sc
cure uniformity of color.
For the ceilings of rooms and other
inside work, where something little
finer is required, the prepared kaisom-
inc, which may be bought dry. and in
any desired color or shade, is the best
thing. 1t is not expensive, is easily
prepared and needs no more skill in
using than any other wash or paint. If
this cannot be procured good white
wash may be made as follows: Take
half a pound of best white glue and soak
it in cold water for ten or twelve hours;
then heat it carefully, without allowing
it to scorch, until thoroughly dissolved.
and stir into it fifteen pounds of Paris
white. adding hot water until it is thin
enough to use. The walls should be
thoroughly cleansed before apply ing the
wash, which must be allowed to cool
before using. England Farmer.

Sheep.FOlds OF Many Nations.

At the meeting of the Western New
York Sheep-Breeders' Association in
Rochester recently an interesting paper
was read by William G. Markham, Civ
ing an account of observations on sheep
,husbandry made by him during an ex-
tended journey through Europe and
Asia. In Rome. Mr.. Markham visited
the sheep farm of the Pencintini Broth
ers. who own, flock of 5000 sheep,
J. 900 of which are MIXED twice day,
and the milk is used for cheese and
curds. The average yearly production
of each animal is estimated as worth
$500. besides which there are three
pounds of wool. The sheep on this farm
