329
And How it Cooked the Goose of
the Democracy.

the democracy.
WASHINGTON, October 2O.-Represent-
ative Hill of Ohio left here this morning
in no very good humor over Democratic
prospects. He refers feelingly to the
series Of Democratic blunders that char
acterized the late disastrous campaign.
"As to the 329 business, said he, 'it
did US more harm than good. The De
moeratic idiot who started it ought to
be given a tin horn and sent into soli-
tude. If it hadn't been for the 329 agi-
tation in Ohio Warner would have been
elected to Congress from the Marietta
district" 4
"How's tbat?"
well, / will tell you. Suppose you
owned nice house. How would you
like to wake up some fine morning and
find it all plastered over with S29? The
id fools didn't do it with chalk; they
did it with lampblack, so it would stick.
l knew man at Athens, Ohio, whose
house was daubed with 32S. He was a
Democrat and got so mad when he dis
covered it that he went straightway and
gave the Republican Committee $500,
tnen turned in and voted the Republican
ticket. l tell you the 329 business was
losing business for us"

your own hearts have been stirred by
the event that occurred only few days
ago on your own Rhine, when that mag
niicent Cathedral of Cologne, which has
been $50 years in building. with the scaf-
fold hardly down for a day, was just
brought to its final completion and dedi-
Gated to peace. That is wonderful
thing for you to have share in. But I
trust, fellow citizens, that you have come
here to help us build grander temple.
Not a Gothic building; not made from
the quarries of the Rhine, but made out
of the hearts and lives and aspirations
and hopes of all the people who have
come into the country to make it their
home, and to build here institutions
that shall not, trust, be finished in six
hundred years from to-day, but shall go
on, its grand structure always rising. its
foundations always deepening, and its
dome always high and always free for
all the people who come here to be
Americans and dwell with US.
Such is the welcome that America
gives to all people. thank you for this
call to-day, fellow citizens. thank you
for your kindness of expressions and 1
conclude by saying "WilkOmmen alle."

Domestic Aids.

Old clothes should be saved, to weave
into door and floor mats.
All linen pieces should be saved. and

The white of one egg, beaten to froth
with little butter, is good substitute
Tor cream in coffee.
Clothes lines should be well wiped and
taken down sitter each wash. Gutta-
percha lines are the best.
Old shoes, with the tops cut off, make
excellent slippers, and if occasionally
polished look very well.
Turnip peel, washed clean and tied up
IN net, imparts flavor to SOUPS. Gel
cry leaues and ends serve the same pur-
pose.
The dish-cloth should never be used
to wipe the floor, and napkins are for
table use and not for wiping dishes. 1t
Is better not to use silver spoons
for scraping out iron kettles, and no
economical and thoughtful housewife
will allow the dish-cloth to be used as a
custer, or the new broom to sweep the
back yard, or the best enameled sauce
pan to melt down snow.
Arrange work to save fuel. Mix bread
at night SO that it will be ready to bake
Whlle the oven Is hot frOm.the break
fast fire. If fruit is prepared the night
before, pies may be baked after the
bread. Hashes intended for breakfast
should be made ready for cooking the
night before. The kitchen should also
be in perfect order and the kindlings
ready for lighting the fire.
A hard wood floor, oiled with linseed
oil, is the best floor in the kitchen. A
apt to s'sliver" and grow rough. 1t is
impossible to oil such floor with good
results If in the least knotty, as the pitch
prevents the oil from penetrating, and
the floor takes on grimy look. Oil
cloth is sometimes used, and is prefera-
BILE to carpet, but is not so neat as a
plain, hard wood floor, made of match
ed boards four inches wide and closely
laid.

What Next.

The impression seems to prevail, that
the Readjuster Convention to be held in
Richmond, Va, in July next, will nomi-
nate on electoral ticket headed by the
nominees of the Cincinnati Convention.
Ii this is the scheme, our readers will
see, at once, that the object of the Ma
hOneites, or that Richmond July con-
vention, is 10 defeat the Democratic par
ty in Virginia, and carry the State for
the Republicans. TO illustrate, suppose,
the Democrats vote for the regularselec-
tors representing the nominees of the
Democratic Cincinnati Convention, and
the Mahoneites, for a set of electors
which they will appoint for themselves
at the July convention, and the Eepub-
licans, for the Republican electors,
in this way, the Republicans might car
ry the State. For whatever votes the
Mahoneites might get from the Demo-
cratic pa1Sy, would take just that num-
Der away from the regular nominees OF
the Democratic party, and aid the Re-
publicans, or Radicals that much.
Are Democrats of Virginia ready to
be gulled IN that way, SO as to give the
State over to the Radicals? We know
some Of the Mahoneites say they must
perpetuate their party organization, no
matter what becomes of the State so far
as the Presidential election is concern
ed. 1t may be to the interest of the
Mahoneites to talk that way, and act in
that direction, but it is not the interest
of the State and the Democratic party.
whether Funders, Or Readjusters, to
conAlVe at such a policy? No, they
Will see the trick, and avoid the snare,
by going to the polls and voting for
the regular electors, and not for such
as may be designed to throw the State
into the hands of the Radicals. If the
Mahoneites were the regular Democra-
tic, or Conservative party, in Virginia,
why did they not hold their convention
in time to send delegates to the Cincin-
natl Convention, and cooperate with
the National Democratic party there,
instead of putting their convention off
until July, after the meeting of the Gin
cinnati Convention, and then make an
effort to split the Democratic party, for
the sole purpose of perpetuating third
party IN power-a policy which must
give the Radicals the control of the
State? They complain of being kicked
out OF the party, but the fact is, they
went out of it when they went and or
ganlzed another party in Mozart, Hall,
with view to draw the people out Of
the regular party. But we feel satisfied
substantial Democrats, whether in favor
OF the McCUlloeh Bill, or opposed to it,
vii! not be driven out of their regular
party, IN which they have lived, and
which they sustained for generations,
by such howls and delusions as these
taotionists put forth. Democrats, seato

THE SAUCY ROGUE.

fFr0ni the German.
There is a saucy rogue, well-known
To youth and gray beard, maid and crone-
A boy, with eyes that mirth bespeak.
With curly locks and dim pied cheek;
He has a sly demurish air,
But, maiden fair,
Take care, take care!
His dart may wound you, unaware
With bow and arrows in his hand
He wanders up and down the land;
'Tis jolly sport to aim dart
At some poor maiden's fluttering heart;
Size wonders what has hurt her there.
All. maiden lair,
Take care, take care!
His dart may wound you unaware!
Her nimble hands the distaf ply;
A gallant soldier lad rides by:
He gives her such loving glance,
Her heart stands still, as in trance,
-.4.I de1th-t .!e sinks the maiden fair.
Quick. mother, there.
Give heed, take care!
Else you may lose her unaware!
Who stands there laughing at the door?
That rogue, who triumphs thus once more!
Both lad and maiden he has hit,
And laughs as though his sides would split,
And so he sports him everywhere,
Now here, now there;
He mocks your care;
You fall his victim, unaware!
Now, who SO masterful and brave
To hold and catch this saucy knave!
Whoever binds him strong and fast,
His name and deed shall always last,
But, if this dangerous task you dare.
Beware, take care
Lest i'll you fare!
The rogue may catch you unaware!

NOTES FOR THE FARM-If you are
troubled about the grain chest with
mice, watch for their holes and scatter q
little copperas in them. A few grains
will drive them away.
If your horse IS troubled with scratch
es, mix up little saltpetre and lard and
put upon the sore part renew daily un-
til cured. Keep clean by using CASTLE
soap.
Professor Dana says COW will make
about seventy poundg Of manure day,
or twelve tons year. This includes
both solid and liquid, and is worth from
one to three dollars ton.
No Chinese farmer ever sows a seed
of grain before it has been soaked in
liquid manure diluted with water, and
las begun ogerminate; and experience
has taught him tnat this operation not
only tends to promote the growth and
development, but also to protect the
seed from the insects hidden in the
ground.

LIGHTNING RODS.

LIGHTNING ROD WORKS
MUNSON'S TUBULAR
COPPER LIGHTNING ROD
With Spiral FIanges.

This Celebrated lightning Conductoy, OWN g
to the material of Which it is made, and the
manner OF its cons truction, is the most COM
plete protection az .ainst disaster by light ming
ever III vented. This is conciusively shown by
practical test of over twenty-four years, dur
ing which time it has been in constant use, be-
ing erecJed upon many thousands OF private
and public buildings, in all sections Of the
country; and although there have fallen upon
charges OF eectr icity, yet in no instance has it
failed to conduct them harmlessly to the earth
thus saving many lives, and property of almo ost
incalculable value.
EI- 1t has never been OVercharsedy
Ia 1t has never Failed
The experience of one hundred years has
shown that where all the necessary rules are
observed protection is perfect.
at the present day no one will deny the ne
cessity and duty resting upon us to vaccinate
our children, and thus protect them from the
fearful Tavages of small pox; in fact, can there
be foun in any community an Intelligent man
who will not ACKNOWLEDGE an Imperative duty
resting upon every one to not only use means,
but the very best means of protection to them
source whatever. A few dollars judiciOusly
expended in lightning rods will securely pro-
tect all the buildings that almost any one pos
seSSes, and II life or property is sacrifics ed in
consequence of neglecting such protection, can
we hold ourselves blameless, will not the dead
cry out of the ground against US? Will not the
living censure us for opportunities neglected.
The feeling alone that man has done all in
his power to make his family and property
safe from the destructive effects of lightning is
worth far more than the cost of all the light
ming rods necessary to secure such protection,
Persons wishing their property and lives pro-
tected from this destructive element, will re-
ceiye prompt attention by calling at our store.
