Concerning Northern Democrats.

Our morning contemporary takes ex-
ception to the declaration by the Ohio
Republican Convention that the Repub-
lican party preserved the life of the Ma
tion, and asserts that .'the life of the
Nation would have vanished like vapor
in the first clash of arms but for the
unflinching loyalty of the Northern
Democrats" The Republican party
saved the life of the Nation by pulling
down its merely partisan flag and rum
ming up the flag of the Union, and by its
hearty coalition with the Independent
Union Democrats who left the Demo-
cratic party because they found
ats managers were in sympathy
with the Southern Confed-
eracy as against Lincoln's Administra-
ton. The Republican party carried
New York in 1861 by coalition with
the Union Democrats and elected DAN
iel S. Dickinson, an old Democratic
leader, Attorney-General over the reg
,ular Democratic nominee. Dickinson
had supported Breckenridge for Presi-
dent the year before, but would not act
with his party in 1861 because of its
manifest sympathy with the rebellion.
In Ohio the Republicans coalesced
with the Union Democrats and elected
Tod Governor.
In 1862 the leaders and press of theDem-
ocratic party were bitterly opposing the
war, and dtheRepublicans and Union DEM
ocrats formed coalitions against them.
So vicious were the Democratic misrep-
resentations of President Lincoln, and
so unsatisfactory the movements of the
army, that the Union coalitions in New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois were beaten at the
polls that year by the anti-war party.
The unconditional Union men had but
eighteen majority in the United States
House of Representatives chosen that
year, although the solid South was
broken by the absence of the eleven
Confederate States. In 1868 the Re-
publican party, warned by the disasters
of 1862, merged their party into coali-
tions with the unconditional Union DEM
ocrats in most of the States, and this re-
suited so well that in 1864 and 1865 the
use of the name Republican was almost
entirely dropped, and in its stead the
united opponents of the peace Democ-
racy We're known as the Union Pdrtv.
Mr.. Lincoln was nominated in 1864 as a
"Union Republican" out of Difference
to tie coalitions in the several States
between the Republicans and the Union
Democrats. s'fhe unfiinching LOYALTY
of the Northern Democrats who aided
the Republican party to save the Union
was exhibited by following Douglas,
Grant, Logan, Dickinson, Dix, Butler,
Holt, Carpenter, CONFESS, Stewart, and
a host of others out of the Democratic
party, which was doing its utmost to
make the enforcement of the laws of
the Union impossible. Democrats who
opposed the Democratic party, and
with whom the Republican party
eagerly formed coalitions, were not the
Democrats who hissed cut their hatred
of the Government, denounced Abraham
Lincoln as an ape, encouraged deser-
tions. discouraged enlistments, de-
nounced the war as unconstitutional and
nnholy, whined about fratricidal strife

After Sixty Years of Darkness.

Mrs. Harriet Holmes, a colored
woman, who is sixty years old, was
blind from her birth until three weeks
ago. She was several times taken to
the Germantown Hospital, on Penn
street, and became known in that in
stitution as blind Aunt Harriet. "
DIR. L. w. Fox, one of the surgeons at
the hospital, was attracted by the
peculiarly in the formation of her
eyes, and made an examination, which
convinced him that her sight might be
restored. The old woman's consent to
an operation was not obtained without
difficulty. After the operation her eyes
were bandaged for eight days, and she
was confined in a very dark room for
several days afterward. When the
bandages were taken off she was as
tonished. Although the room was
dark, she could see objects several feet
distant, but quite indistinctly, or all
mixed up" as she afterward declared.
At last she was removed to one of the
wards of the hospital which looked
upon the street, and the bandage was
removed.
The patient started violently, and
cried out as If with fear, and for q mo-
ment was quite nervous from the effects

life she looked upon the earth. The
| first thing she noticed was little flock
of sparrows. In relating her expert
ence she said that she thought they
were tea-cups, although, strange to say,
few moments afterward she readily
distinguished watch which was shown
her. 1t is supposed that this recogni-
ton was owing to the fact that she
heard its ticking and at once associated
the two together. She was soon able
to distinguish those objects which she
had been accustomed to handle, such
as a chair, a door, or table. She said
that everything seemed pretty, and
although at first all objects appeared
to her bright and shining like gold,
she soon became accustomed to col
ors, and can now distinguish them
very well. For long time dis
tant objects appeared so near that
1 she thought that she could touch them.
/ She begins to distinguish distances, il
not too great. Owing to her first i'm
preston of distance she was for some
time afraid to walk with her eyes open,
the ground or floor appearing "fur
way off, in strange contrast with he1
impression of distant objects. The pop
ular impression that a person born
blind who is restored to sight imagines
that men and women are walking on
their heads, and trees look like ele-
plants, was not verified in her case,
| although she now even makes mistakes
quite as ludicrous as in the case of the
mistake of the birds for tea-cups.
The blaze from a lamp excited the
most lively surprise in her mind. She
had no idea what it was, and when il

Eli Perkins on Uncle Hank.

Uncle Hank Allen was perhaps the
smoothest and most accomplished liar
in Central New York. There were
other ordinary post-office liars in the
beautiful village of Eaton, N. Y, where
was born, but Uncle Hank could lie
like gifted metropolitan. Every night
Uncle Hanks grocery was filed with
listening citizens, all paying the strict
est attention whenever the good old
man spoke. When Charley Campbell
or John Whitney lied nobody paid
much attention to them because they
were clumsy workmen. Their lies
would not hold water like Uncle
Hanks. Why, the old mans lies were
so smooth, so artistic, that, while listen
ing to them, you imagined you were
listening to Elder Cleveland's Bible
stories.
One day they were all talking about
potato-bugs in Uncle Hanks grocery,
which was a sort of village farmers
club. First Charley Miles remarked,
that he thought it was going to be a
potato-bug year.
"Talk about its going to be potato
bug year." exclaimed DR.. Purdy.
"Going to beP Why, they were so

"Twenty-eight bugs on one stalk

Campbell, contemptuously. "Why,
they ate up my first crop of potatoes
two weeks ago, and they are now sit
ting around the garden on trees and
fences, waiting for me to plant them
over again"
Old Hank now scratched his head
thoughtfully, and remarked:
Gentlemen, you don't any of you
appear to know anything about the raw
enous nature of them potater-bugs.
You may. call me a liar, but I've had
potater-bugs walk right into my kitch-

while gloating over Union reverses,
and denounced as abolition lies the re-
ports of Union victories. Some Union
men were led astray, and were induced
to vote the Copperhead ticket by loud
advocacy in Democratic Conventions Of
s.a more vigorous prosecution of the un-
holy war;" but the loyalty of these men
has to be explained by a want of dill
gence on their part in reading the cur
rent news of the day to learn the pur-
poses of their party.
The less said about the part taken by
the Democratic party of the North dur
ing the civil war the better. The Vir.
ginia Bourbons might as well claim the
credit for having done the work of the
Virginia coalition, because the coalition
embraces sixty thousand ex-Confeder-

The Valley Of the Rio erande.

The sand and gravel abounding
about FL Paso and for fully thirty miles
around assure dry foundations for
building and capital roadbeds for rail-
roads, but are unfavorable for garden
ing or farming, very little of which is
vet attempted. Even the corn and
beans, the staple food of the Mexican
population, has in great part to be inn
ported. Potatoes and other vegetables
are chiefly brought from California;
the green and red chillies Frightening
almost every abode wall appear to be
the only articles freely produced.
Poultry, although plentiful like the
children, are left to scratch about, and
receive scant attention; and eggs are
usually five cents each, but curiously
do not alter in price at different sea-
sons. Chickens are rarely seen on the
hotel tables. Milk is almost invariably
a very diluted solution of the condensed
article. Butter is imported from Iowa
or Missouri. Oxen, worn out by many
years team work, dragging their loads
with ropes attached around their horns,
for yokes have not yet become general
here, do not furnish the tenderest of
beef; the mutton is decidedly scraggy;
the carcass hung up averaging from
twenty-five to thirty pounds. In Ell
Paso a great deal of the food used for
animals, as well as for man, as yet
comes from distance. From Cali
fornia is brought a mixture of barley
and oats, with occasional admixture Of
a little wheat cut just short of ripe
ness, allowed to dry, raked together,
and with hydraulic pressure formed in
to bales of 200 pounds, secured by wire.
and sold here for one and one-fourth
cents per pound. Alfalfa, or lucerne
hay, is brought from Southern Texas in
similar bales, and sells at the same
price. Bran from the stone mills with
old-fashioned separating appliances,
and hence with plenty of adhering flour,
ranges from one to one and one-half
cents. Dry, hard Californian barley is
chiefly used for the small proportion of
horses which are granted, and careful
managers give at least one of the daily
feeds soaked for twenty hours, but not
allowed time for mailing. The stoutest,
best-bred horses in this region come
from California, but there are numbers
of smart, active ponies, twelve to four
teen and one-half hands, brought in
from Old Mexico, where they cost from
S15 to $50. Some of these Mexican and
many of the Indian ponies are cream
and fancy-colored. Some of the mer-
chants have good mules from Southern
Texas worth $500 to $500 per pair, and
here, as elsewhere, dearer than the cor
responding class of horses. London
