why EIe Leaves Democracy.

Coz. r. II. BAKER, heretofore a
staunch Democrat, and editor Of the
Paris Post, has deserted his former faith
and joiael the party Of progress. lie
says:
atisOuriI highest duty to the South,
the section OF our birth and the inspira-
lion of our noble, manly, patriotic I'M
pulse.
II Is 10 align her with the spirit OF
the age, { build up her waste places,
dcvc!Opc her immense and iucXlIausti-
Bile material rcsOurccs-ycs, to place her
In tie vanguard of progress aud make
her, rs She wa before the war, the
lappiest, wealtliiest and mosi prosper
porous section on the globe.
This is the highest duty of her states
men aud her patriots.
lfthe Democratic party would, il is
pOwerlcSs To do it,. The p%rcjudiccs cX-
listing against its very name will, dur
ing this and generations to come after,
keep il ia The minority. The prciu-
diccs existing among its leaders will
prevent them from advocating the nee
cssary pol.c!cs that will lead 10 this
were they to get into power.
Ii is simply AN obstruction party, and
rs long as it obstructed Capitalization !
gave it my hearty support. But shall |
cling to and attempt TO climbits mDuldy
sides when the danger is happily over:
My young friend, look back over its
platform of principles in 'GS, ~, '7G,
80. Can you discern any leading prin-
ciple or well defined plan by which the
results ! allude to above are to be nc
eOmplished! Have they not shifted like
Il shuttlc-cOck, to catch every breeze
that would watt them into power! Is
party worthy Of support always That
tlops so often.
On the other hand, let MS look at the
Republican party: 1t had rhe inherent
power TO purify itself of the parasites
that would have destroyed it and our
libcl ties. It, drove its Radicals into re-
tircmemt: adlicring to Il well defined
line of policy it has retained the conf
dcnce Of the people, and with it power,
during years OF crop failures and bust
ness depression. The public debt is de-
CTeasing in Il compound ratio: our fl
nancial condition is the best in the
world: the security of life, liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness is beyond
question. The south, under the liberal
policy Of Mr.. Hayes, has gained III
confidence, wealth and happiness. The
p%rciudices OfthG war are wearing away
by The attrition Of kindness; southern
men are filling oitices,and Il recogni-
ton of their rights assured.
| am for uny section ard with my sec
ton. The best way to huilG up the
south materially is to act with the Re
publican party, and so long as that par
ty recognizes the south as an integral
part of the union, so long as it lcgislates
to build herup; so long as it is true to
the constitution and the permanency of
the union under the constitution, as
Interpreted by Madison and Jefferson,
50 long shall | act with it.

Harping on Maynard's Defeat.

The democratic papers hcreahout are
still hnrping on the defeat OF Mr.. May
murd. They dread Maynard; they
know his ability and fear it they knew
his election would do so much for Ten
ncsscc that the influence it would have,
would tend to build up the Republican
marty in the south and that is exactly
what they don't want, though it would
double the value of all property. with
the Republican party in power in Ten
ncssce for the length of time the Dem
ocrats have been in, it would worth Il
half million cmigrants from the north;
itwould bring capital and enterprise
hcre:i it would our ore banks and mines,
and build up il vast school system such
as would enable every child white or
black to be educated. As for Mr.. May
nard. personally, they need shed no
tears: he is able to take care of himself.

Bells Across the snow

The following is written by u lat
friend and 1t publication requested.
o Christmas, merry Christmas!
Is it really come again?
With its memories and greeting,
With its joy and with its pain.
There's Il minor in the carol
And shadow in the light,
And Il spray Of cypress twining
With the holly wreath tonight.
And the hush is never broken
BY the laughter high and low,
As we listen in the starlight
70 the "Bclls across the snow"
Christmas, merry Christmas!
IT'S not so very long
since other voices blended
With the carol and the song!
If we could but hear them singing,
As they are singing now,
If we could but see the radience
There would be no sigh to smother,
No hidden tear to flow,
As we listen in the starlight
TO the ''bclls across the snow
o Christmas, merry Christmas!
This never more can be;
We cannot bring again the days
OF unShadowcd glce,
But Christmas, happy Christmas,
Sweet herald Of good will,
With holy songs of glory
Brings holy gladness still.
For peace and love may brighten,
And patient hops may glow
As we listen in the starlight
To the 'bells across the snow"

Queen Ofthe Lobby.

"The queen of the lobby this win
ter" says a Washington correspon-
dent of the Chicago Tribune, "is a
fascinating little brunette from the
sunny south-the widow of d confcd-
crate colonel who fell before Rich
mond. She has been abroad, and
knows the most celebrated men Of
France, England and this country, al
though her circle Of female acquain-
tanoes is evidently circumscribed. The
charm of her conversation is irreSist-
able, especially to gentlemen whose
hair is thin on the top of their heads.
There Is a sweet subdued gayety i'll
her speech, accent and gestures,
which makes o venerable listener
happy, and there is a vivlcity about
her conversation which is especially
attractive, She always dresses in
black, in which magnifcence Of ap-
parel can be allied with purity of
taste. In the daytime a long.skirted
ulster has a most decoruS look, and
at night, in her pleasant rooms, she
always wears a rich black satin dress,
with a scarf of rare lace, III which
CLEANS a diamond cross which might
have been the ransom of the sultan.
Such uustudied grace and elegance
suggests sweet Annie Page, 'On her
bright face one glance might trace a
picture of the BRAIN and if she does
not render great and to those who
have retained her services to aid their
schemes, | am mistaken. More than
one congressman is submissive to her
will"

A Washington letter of recent
date says: A gentleman just arrived
here from Tennessee reports that the
Republican party is receiving recruits
I'LL over the State, and that, too, from
u substantial class of citizens. He
mentions one county in East Tennes-
see, where there were but three orig
inal s~ecessionists in the carly days of
1861, and two of these joined the Re
publican party after Hancock's nom
nation, voted for Garfield, and are
now in full faith and fellowship with
the Republican party. One OF these
gentlemen stated that the reason OF
this change was because the Demo
cratic party has no principles, except,
to Get into office, and never gets IN!
The Governor of the State now being
n Republican, and the Legislature
almost so, it is believed here that
Garfield can wheel that State into
tie Republican column before the
end of his administration.

SNEEZTNG.

Good bless you!" is the common ex-
preston of Europeans when you sneeze in
their presence; sneezing having been con-
sidered IN ancient times the result of de-
moniac possession, to avert the evil infu-
ence they invoke blessing. But the true
philosophy of sneeze is set forth in an ar
ticle in the Popular Science Monthly for
April under the heading What is Cold?'
The whole of it is worth reading, but We
have only room to transcribe what relates
to sneezing: "Sneezing in catarrh is a
method nature adopts to stimulate the
PROSTATE nervous center, and thus en-.
able it to reassert its proper control ever
the blood supply to the part; indeed, it
will be found that the effects of being ex.
posed to draft of cold air are often com.
pletely destroyed by succession of sneezes.
Of course, nature does not always immedi-
ately succeed in these efforts; but, when
she does not, the shock from which the
nervous center suffers gradually passes
away, and the blood-vessels again come
under the control of the little nerves which
regulate their caliber and so the catarrh
disappears in few hours, or at most in a
few days. It sometimes happens that the
shock from the cold air acting upon the
nervous center is of such severity that the
consequent inflammation is intense enough
to check the secretion OF mucous altogether,
and in consequence the mucous membrane
is dry as well as inhamed, and the suffer
ing very much intensified"
