Congressman Harris Constituents Witt
drawing Their support From him.
Feeling against Henry s. Harris who re-
ceived the Democratic nomination at the
Fourth New Jersey congressional district
convention, is growing in his own party,
and his defeat is confidently predicted.
Harris defeated General Fitzpatrick in his
run for Congress by 5000 votes. Harris
gave good satisfaction in Congress until
he voted for tho river and harb0r bill be-
fore and after the veto, which hurt him
very much. The Hunterdon county Dem.
Oerat now withdraws support from Harris,
and will carry q large constituency. The
Democrat says it cannot support . traitor
to Democratic principles, and says further
that as it cannot support Republican it
will remain out of the canvass on the con-
gresham question.

PASSING ROUND THE HAT.

Hubboll's Committee Hard ut Work tn the

The Republican congressional campaign
committee is not dismayed by the criticisms
passed upon it by the public, either in the
being not only held out, but passed around
with great persistency and application. Az
the responses to the circulars asking for
voluntary contributions to the extent of
per cent. were not responded to satisfac-

standing, agents of. the committee are
now going through tho departments with
fine-tOOthed comb, as it were. The
postofice, the printing Office, the
interior and the pension Offices, have, it is
said, been ransacked. One clerk, who
paid $A as his 90 voluntary contribution
to the campaign fund, said to . friend that
he knew better than to resist, for his ex-
perience had taught him that it did not
pay. Several years ago he was in another
department when the hat was passed
around and had neglected to pay anything
for the cause. Soon after he was dropped
with a very distinct intimation that he
owed his loss of . place to his neglect of
the committees invitation to contribute.

between the two great political armies,
and invariably adhered to that army which
had the largest commissary.
Now let us take another view of this
question. If you think that any minority
in this country ought to be represented in
your cabinet, why not select a representa-
tive Of . respectable minority? What is
the use or sense in appointing man who
claims to represent fifty thousand votes,
aud ignoring minority that represents
more than four millions of votes You
have been elected by bare majority of
the people-the minority being the Dem
ocratic party, not the pretending reform
ers. Now, why would it not be wise
thing to appoint, not an " erring BROTHER
as one of the seven in your cabinet, but
q we'll known, able and Outspoken Demo
crat, and appoint him as Democrat rep.
resenting the Democratic party, and who
can sit at your cabinet table and discuss
with the majority the rights of the minor
ity? .'0n 20,
believe it to be ono of the wisest things
that any president ever did, and if I were
to be inaugurated on the day you are,
should look about to find one of the best
one of the ablest, and one
of the most upright of the Democratic
leaders of this country aud hand him q
portfolio in my cabinet, with clear under
that he came in as q Democrat,
to represent the Democratic party, and
nothing else, with No possible Obligations
to the power that appointed him. In my
judgment it is mere matter of time, and
1 think brief time, that think a presi-
dent elected BY one political party will
give some eminent member of the other
party . seat in his cabinet. I think the
people of this country will demand that

The Bullying of Witnesses,

During the trial of a Commonwealth
case at the late term of the Perry county
(Penna,l Court the attention Of Judge
Barnett was directed, by an incident trans
piring in the trial, to the too common prac-
tice of brow-beating witnesses by attorneys,
The Judge availed himself of the oppor-
tunity and gave expression to his senti-
ments regarding the practice in dignifed,
yet forcible maRner. Witnesses did not
come on the stand at their own option, he
said, but in compliance with the mandate
of the law The majority of them know
little or nothing of the usages or practices
in the court rocm, and are for the most
part, in an entirely new position, eense-
quently they are frequently embarrassed
when confronted by attorneys who have
spent years in courts They should be
treated in gentlemanly way and not con-
fused by inuendo or harShness. They will
give their information as intelligently as
they can, provided they are given oppor-
tuuity and encouragement; and further,
that they have not the means of defending
themselves from the wordy assaults Of hw~
yers that they have of protecting their
rights in every day life He then read the
rule of the court governing the examina-
tion of witnesses, and requested that it be
observed,

Diamonds.

The most valuable diamonds are those
which are entirely oulorless. Those with a
blue tinge. though still more rare, are not
so highly valued as the actual beauty of
the pure ones outweigh the rarity of the
blue variety. One of the finest of the blue
variety Is, we believe in the collection of
Mr.. Beresford- Hope, Diamonds of red
tinge take still a good place; green dia-
monds are tolerably numerous, and rank
lower; yellow ones are very common, and
the least esteemed. The estimation Of the
value of diamond is made according to
regular system of appraisement. 1t will
surprise many of those who are not conver-
SAINT with the subject to learn what large
proportion of diamond is often ground
away to dust in cutting it so as to make
the most of its briliancy The greatest
diamond in the French Treasury, the Re
gent, weighed We are teld, 4lQ easats be.
fore cutting, and 1851 aftef cutting, which
seems an immense loss in size but we pre-
sumo it really increased the marketable
value of the gem. OF course, the dia-
mond dust taken off In cutting, is not al
lowed to be lost, but is useful chiefly for
practical purposes, in forming in its turn
the means of grinding down the faces of
other diamonds; for this superb stone will

swamp, almost as good as wild. @You
would not suppose, he says, ';that there
was any fruit left there on the first survey,
but you must look according to system.
Those which lie exposed are quite brown
and rotten now, or perchance a few still
show one blooming cheek here and there
amid the wet leaves Nevertheless, with
experienced eyes 1 explore amid the bare
alders, and the huckleberry bushes, and
the withered sedge, and in the crevices of
the rocks, which are full of leaves, and pry
under the fallen and decayed ferns which,
with apple and alder leaves, thickly strew
the ground. For | know that they lie
concealed, fallen into hollows long since,
and covered up by the leaves of the tree
itself-a proper kind of packing.
From these lurking places, everywhere
within the circumference of the tree. I
draw forth the fruit all wet and glossy, may
be nibbled by rabbits and followed out by
crickets, and perhaps leaf OF two cemented
to it, but still with rich bloom on it, and at
least as ripe and well kept, if no better,
than those in barrels, more crisp and lively
than they.
IF these resources fail to yield anything,
| have learned to look between the leaves
of the suckers which spring thickly from
some horizontal limb, for now and then one
lodges there, or in the very midst of an al
der clump, where they are covered By leaves
safe from cows which may have saelled them

How Our Ancestors Roasted a Goose.

Who after reading the following, taken
from an cid book, will not admit that the
world has improved? The most cruel and
brutal in this age would turn in horror from
the necessary cruelty of torturing poor
creature as our ancestors did with grave
complaceney, as if unaware of the suffering
they caused Read and wonder:
Take goose or some such lively crea-
ture, pull off all her feathers, except those
of the head and neck then make a FIRE
around her, not too close, so that the smoke
may not choke her, and that the IRE may
not burn her too soon. Within the circle
of the FIRE let there be small cups and pots
full of water, wherein salt and honey are
mingled and let there be, also charges full
of sodden apples, cut in small pieces, The
goose must be larded and hasted over with
butter, TO make her the better tasting, and.
also that she NAY roast better. Put FIRE
about her bat do not make too much haste,
when as you see, she begins to roast. For
by walking about and flying here and there,
being cooped in by the fire, that stops her
way out, the unseared goose is kept Ia
She win fall to and drink the water to
quench her thirst and cool her heart, and
all her body and the apple sauce viii cleanse
her, When she wasteth and consumes
inwardly, always wet her headw asponges
and when you begin to see her stumble, her
heart wants moisture, and she is roasted
enough. Take her up and set her on the
table, and she will cry as YOU cut off any
part from her, aud will be almost eaten ap
before she is dead, 1t is mighty pleasant
to behold.
