Tina nslawnre Democracy.

According to their platform just erect
sd at Dover the Democrats declare their
adherence and attachment to the prin-
oiples and policy Of their party as illus
trated in its past history. Now this Is
a most comprehen sive statement, and 1t
includes great deal. Among an end
less variety OF illustrations which the
past history of that party affords, those
dark pages written before the war at
ract our attention, especially, when 1t
was the bulwark ofthe system OF slavery
and the humble servant OF the slave
holders. It includes the Dred Scott de-
oi sion, the Kansas. Nebraska intamy the
Buchanan administration, when Floyd
Secretary Of War, and Cobb the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, scattered the
forces OF the Government and prostra-
ted its credit, so that the power to re- =
sist the rebellion should be paralyzed.
1t includes the history Of the Democratic
opposition to the war and the painful
conflict at home between that party and
the supporters ofthe Government, which
harasssd all true patriots with fear, lest
while the rebels were attacking the
couGtry's soldiers from without, the
friends and sympathizers with these
rebels, should, because of the absence
of these very men in the field, gain al
the polls the power to cut off their sup
plies and so render futile all tteir suf,
forings in the field. This is part ol
the past history Of the Democratic
party. which that party in Delaware
approved on Tuesday last.
They also approved OF the history o.
that party sincs the war. Of all it's his
tory without exception. All the ka.
klux sonspiracies, the shotgun despo'
tisns, the frauds by which New York
was carried in 1868, and the frauds by
which Alabama was carried in 1880; o
the Maine iniquity Of last year, Of thu
rilden cipher dispatches, Of the coffee
pot naturalization processes, and th'
prostitution of New York judges fol
the sams purpose of illegally natural
izing foreigners, and reviving dest
men to neutralize the votes of homes
msn, who by their labor and prosperity
had rights to maintain and interests Il
consult. The Delaware Democracy ap
proves OF the process by which the
city Of Wilmington was carried for tha
party last year. The party does no
gag once. 1t ttkes them all down al
ooolly as If they were so many glasse
OF Georgia moonshinc without evel
winking once. What cap&cious anc
Icopparlined stomach the Delswar,

PERTINENT ADVICE TO TRAVELLERS.

Why is it that among certain class of
travellers there exists such mania for
rushing into print? Without the qualifica-
lions of long residence in the country,
and an acquaintance with the language,
they will unhesitatingly give description
of the society, morals and customs of a
people, which is often little less than
libel on the place where they have met
with so much hearty hospitality. This is
neither fair nor just. In order to make
their book readable, they caricature every
thing they see, and give it out as faithful
portrait of the country, in which they
have probably passed but few months.
They describe habits and customs which,
to the English reader, appear to be ridicu-
lous in the extreme, but fail to show how
thoroughly they are adapted to the neces-
stiles of the country. Were they to do
this, much would be made plain which is
incomprehensibie and in spite of the many
errors in the work, the reader would
have better if not altogether correct
idea of countries which are out of the
beaten tracks of tourists. We know an
author who, after making a trip lasting
two or three months through country as
large as England, but without the same
facilities for travelling which it possesses,
actually wrote a good-sized volume as the
result, and obtained for it large sale in
America. We never could understand
why books of this class cannot be written
entirely in English. Why should they be
so interlarded with phrases in foreign
language, which are often left untrans-
lated To a certain extentit may be pardon
able when French is used, since every one
nowadays understands it more or less;
but it is surely presuming too much and try
ing the patience of the reader too far when
bad Spanish and Portuguese-or Creole
jargon of both comhined-are pressed into
service. -IChamber's Journal.

1t is a curious thing to be in the Pavilion

THE MIDNIGHT Sun IN LAPLAND.-The
spectacle of the sun shining at midnight
attracts many foreigners to Swedish Lap
land during the month of june For SIX
weeks there is scarcely any night in the
north of Sweden the sun never sets and
the soil, constantly heated, produces in
month and a half barley and other crops.
At that time of the year the Laplanders
pen up their rsindeers and move their huts
toward the cultivated fields. Being very
hospitable, they greet with Joy the arrival
of tourists, who generally meet at Mount
delaware, las kilometres from Lulea.
From that hill, which is $50 metres high,
the beautiful spectacle of the midnight
sur" can be admired in better conditions
than from any other place. The oath of
June is the day selected for the ascension !;
it is the longest day in the year, the sun
being twenty two hours above the horizon.
This year the oath of June was not favored
with fine weather and, owing to cloudy
sky, the sun was not visible at midnight,
but the following days travellers were well
rewarded for their trouble, the sun shining
brightly at midnight.

Eve now. hope my answer may prove to
be correct. The first and second of the

surrender his liberty, and that to Eve,
without one sigh, and that very deep
one. If it means the letter N, conclude
that Eve demanded cool thousand for the
expenses of the wedding tour. If this de-
mand was made Eve counting Eve was
passed, it proves that the mother of all
living was bold woman, or felt quite
sure of her hold upon the heart-strings of
Adam. l hope Hattie Heath will yield her
the exalted seat at the fountain of the hu-
man family even if she does not like Adam,

LoNGFELLow AT HoME.-He dresses in
suit of black broadcloth, and is very
much of democrat. A charming CONVEX
sationalist, he has drawn many dear friends
to him. He has marvellous faculty of
putting one quite at his ease. Rising
early, he takes comparatively light
breakfast, and, if the day is bright, he in
dulges in a walk for several hours, varying
his route daily. His rambles sometimes
lead him to that great city of the dead,
Mount Auburn; occasionally he visits
Cambridgeport, and once in great while
he walks to Boston to see his friends or his
publishers. He calls on his printers every
day or two when he has anything to put in
type, and receives or returns proofs of his
works. The winters he spends in Cam
bridge and the summer in his cottage at
Nahant. His carriage is erect, and there
is little in his manner to suggest his poem
"Morituri Salutamus. The warmth of
his love is lavished upon his children, who
are all in all to him. Indeed, few men
enjoy the company of those about them

UTILIZING THE POTATO BUG.-Every
curse seems to have its attending benefit.
The dreaded and dreadful potato bug,
strange as the assertion may seem, is no
exception to the rule. A Maryland farmer
is reaping much benefit out of an immense
crop of bugs. Being opposed to the GUS
tomary Paris green, he fitted up large
washboiler in his field, and with six assist
ants collected two gallons of bugs and
threw them into boiling water. By acct
dent an old piece of sheepskin, used for
lining, went into the unsavory mess. After
the cooking had been in progress half an
hour, the farmer was astonished to find
that the sheepskin had assumed the richest
dark crimson His curiosity being
awakened, he inserted other materials and
discovered another popularity of the
liquid. The material immersed in it
changed first to dark brown, then
yellowish hue, then pure yellow, light blue,
dark blue and light red, and finally termi-
mated In brilliant scarlet, which was the
permanent color. The formation of stock
company to extract dyeing mixtures from
potato bugs is the result of the farmers
experiment. Hereafter the once despised
potato bug may be more valuable source
of revenue than the potatoes whose vines it
is their nature to infest.
