Peaches.
The early varieties are just commenc-
ing to ripen in this locality. There will
not be on an average one third of crop
in this vicinity, but as the number of
bearing trees are many, there will be in
all quite yield. We learn from Della
ware and Maryland, where this fruit ri
pens earlier, that this week that WELL
known variety, the Omixon is being ship
ped to New York in heavy quantities
and very fine. The same kind will be ten
days later in this region. They are an
old standard variety, good growers and
few orchards are grown anywhere with
out fair portion of this peach.

The City Fountains.


.---
The City Fountains.
The drinking fountains recently pur-
chased by the Council are now in position
and have been in operation for some days.
They seem to strike a popular want and
comment frequently heard is, that there
ought to be more of them. There is no
upward jet nor spray, but continuous
stream of running water. The quantity can
be regulated by the authorities as needed,
and they are conveniently arranged not
only for persons aud horses, but even the
dogs are not forgotten. These fountains
are intended for the free use of the public
for watering purposes, and the attention
of farmers and others coming to our city
with vehicles is called to their conven-
fence, and they are invited to make use
of them. "The merciful man is merci-
full to his BEAST Then water your
horses.
One of these watering places is in front
of the City lot between Main and Union,
on York street the other, by the consent
of John Lilly, Esq, has been placed >in
front of his property on Main street, as
near the corner of Bridge as might be
without having teams stopping at it block
the crossings The first is conveniently
situated for all those coming into the
City by the York road, or from. up the
river !; the other equally SO for those who
drive by any of the roads leading out Of
the city below Bridge street.
These fountains stand about five fee
high, are built of heavy iron, and arr
marked 725 pounds weight each th'
price in New York was $40 each, a
retail ; but as they were secured to thu
city at the lowest wholesale price, the &C
tua, cost was considerable less.
1t is due to the authorities of the Lam
bertville Water Company to state tina
they cheerfully made very liberal term
with the City in regard to payment TO
the water used by these fountains, tb
price being almost nominal.

GEO. S. MORT, Cor. Sec'y

John Foley, we'll known in this city,
where he lived for number OF years,
committed suicide at Stockton, on Satur-
day last, by taking laudanum. He had
become very Incorporate, and had recent
ly been arrested for abusing his family.
He took the laudanum on Saturday about
noon, and died on Sunday morning about
10 o'clock. He left a letter saying that
he took his life because of his troubles.
Mr.. Foley was a man of more than ordi-
nary mind and was at one time something
of politician. He few years ago was
a member of the Common Council of this
city. His drinking habits have been his
ruin.

The Democratic Form Of Gsvsrr- :
mant Alwars the Pasf-

That a democratic form OF GOV
ment ought to he tho best, the pro-
verb, "If you wish a thing done. do
it Yourself" would seem sufficient
TO prove. Again: Since the end OF
the government is to promote the
welfare of AL the governed. and
since each man is more, than any
one else inte ested, in his own be.
half, and since interest ia a subject
or a cause awakens attention and
begets intelligence in matters there
with connected, it would seem to
follow that to give to all men a due
degree of influence in the govern
ment is the surest way to promote
the welfare of all. And this con
clusion gains weight when we re,
feet that whoever hopes more from
his own industry and merit than
from fortune and favor is natural
republican. On the other hand,
there seems to be no doubt but the
government Eof the best men is real
ly the best government; and, since
this is so, that a democratic gov
ernment, where the people are cor
rupt, is necessarily a bad govern
ment, because the vicious will not
only not elect the best, who will not
stoop to their level, but, by virtue
of the law of affinity, will choose
tho baser sort of men. 1t was this
kind of democracy that repelled
Landor, because" said he, Il have
always found it more jealous OF mer-
It, more suspicious of wisdom, more
proud Of riding on great minds,
more pleased at raising up little
ones among them, more fond of
loud talking, more impatient Of
calm reasoning, more unsteady,
more ungrateful and more ferocious;
above all, because it leads to despo-
tism through fraudulence, intemper-
ance and corruption. Bishop

HOMEOPATHIC Bisouits.

1t is told of the son of an Ohic
farmer, who had been reading with
view of becoming a homeopathic
physician, that he was seen tying G
number Of sacks containing about 8
teaspoonful of something to the
fence-stakes on the windWard side
of the wheat field.
"What are you doing, Tom ?" said
a neighbor who happened along.
81 am homeopathically fertilizing
this wheat field. These little sacks
contain each one drachm of fertil-
izer, the vital element of which will
be broadly disseminated over the
fields by the summer winds, which
is much better than scattering the
sinking stuff with a shovel"
swell, you may be right, but if l
amt much mistaken, you'll eat ho-
meopathic biscuits this winter" OBJ
served the foggy farmer.

Preserving Erns.

Several correspondent want TO
know how to pack eggs 30 that
they will keep good for winter use.
There is no need for any one who
desires to preserve eggs, either for
market or for home use, to pay one
cent for any recipe. Ali the egg
preserving recipes that are good for
anything have been published over
and over and over again in nearly
all the news, agricultural and poul-
try papers in the country, and IL
you send money to any one for a
"sure method Of preserving eggs so
that they cannot be told from fresh
laid" the chances are that you will
get some one of the. old recipes,
just as it has bean published for
years, or else with some useless in
gredient. One man paid a dollar
for recipe that had been publish
ed by every poultry paper in the
country, another two dollars for the
salt method, and an Ohio woman
paid five dollars for "new and in
fallible method" which turned out
10 De bne recipe lOr Ine Olu 5alJ anu
lime way that has been IN use for
years. Simply packing in fine salt
is the easiest and best method for
housekeepers who desire to save a
few dozen eggs for winter use, and
for poultry-keepers who have only q
small number to pack for market.
Cover the bottom of the keg, cask,
jar, hogshead, or whatever you
choose to pack In, with a layer Of
fine salt two inches deep; upon this
place the eggs, small end down, and
far enough apart so that they will
not touch each other or the sides Of
the receptacle; then put on anoth-
er two-inch layer of salt, then an
other layer of eggs, and 80 on until
the package is full, The salt can
be used over and over again. Eggs
packed in salt took the first prize
for preserved eggs at the recent egg
show in Birmingham, England

Honey ana Digestion.

'-All foods" says an exchange,
''if not already soluable { (meltable J
in water, have to be SO altered with
in us that they become dissolved
and we call this solution digestion.
Starch, for example, which forms
five sixths of our daily bread, is ut
terly Intellectual to use while it re
mains as starch, because of it's in
solability; but in the act of chow
ing, the ssliva which re add to
our bread begins to convert the
starch into sugar (very much like
the sugar of honey, and so renders
it soluble in order that it may in
due course be carried into our blood,
and there do the work of giving US
power or hest. Cane sugar in like
manner, although soluble, requires
alteration, and this alteration is
also brought sbout by contact with
the saliva, and the result is sug.r.
as in a previous case, nearly iden-
tical with the sugar of honey. Honey,
on the contrary, or the sugar that
we lind in grapes, is already IN the
condition tor absorption or assimi-
laLion, and really no kind OF work
has to be performed upon it before it
is actually rendering US service as
force or heat producer" Honey
is, therefore, given to mankind in
the most agreeable form, both for
food and medicine. It produces
healthy digestion, and holds FIRMLY
that monster of torture, indigestion,
at bay. Pure honey should be used
freely in every family. Honey eat
en- on wheat bread is very beneficial
to health.
Children would rather eat bread
and honey than bread and butter;
one pound of honey will reach as
far as two pounds of butter, and
has besides the advantage that it
is far more pleasant to the taste,
and remains good, while butter be-
comes rancid, and often produces
cramp in the stomach, eructations,
sourness, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Digestion (all potent in it's ef-
fects on the mind as well as the
body depends largely on the foad.
Poor food received into poor stom-
achs is the cause of. many unhappy
homes, while good, healthy food, re-
ceived into a healthy stomach, be-
comes an "angel of peace" TO many
a household.

AFRAID.

ONE people can never get on,
Let their chance be "a good as it may;
They stsmmer, and shuttle, and stick
Where others will dash right away.
They say it's for want of cheek,
That the world isn't properly made,
But it's pluck and not cheek that they want;
Yes, the truth of it is, they're afraid.
A man will set eyes on a y
And think her divine, aid - that,
But he doesn't march up there and then,
And tell her his mind smart and pat;
Be huns, and he haws, and he bushes,
And day after day ia delayed,
Till at last some one weds her right off;
Yes, he's lost her by being afraid.
There's many a man with good hands,
That can work with true strength and
true skill,
Gets hustled aside Just because
He'll not push whore another man viii;
He sweats and he groans in the mud,
And let's himself sink in the shade,
Yet he might have been famous and rich
II he hadn't been soft and afraid.
There are men who ero upright and true,
Who shut themselves in their own DEN
They daren't step into the front,
And take up their stand there like mer
They live and grow rich out of sight,
And never are known but in trade,
Yet they might have been hon orsd and blest
If they hadn't been still and afraid,
Stand up, then, and don't be done down
By cheek, and by swagger and brsg;
For . man should stick up for his rights,
Whether wealthy or not worth 'mag;'
The God that made one has made ALL
One heaven 10 all is displayed,
| And If man does what Is right,
There's no one need make him afraid.

Panacoa for Trouble.

Ii fe is filed with trouble as 6
writer in Our Home has said, and
we must shoulder our share with
the best grace we can. We may
only seek to make them as light as
we can, since to avoid them is i'm
possible.
There is one sovereign panacea
for this. 1t is work. Brooding
over trouble is like surrounding
ones self with fog. 1t magnifies
all objects seen through it. Occu-
patton of the mind prevents this
hard work, manual work even,
gives the mind other matters oi
concern, tires the body so that
sleep will come.
Very few suicides occur when
men are actively employed, When
out of work they think of their 9th
er troubles, and the despondency
arising from this added one throws
the mind from its balance, and the
fatal deed is done. Many a man
would have committed suicide if be
had had the time. Work of any
kind, especially work for others, is
the great panacea for a troubled
mind.-Scientific American.

Making a Railroad.

When the war closed one Of the
Georgia railroads hadn't depot or
freight-house on its line, and its
rolliug stock consisted of two old
locomotives and four fiat cars.
These couldn't roll until new ties
and rails were laid and the outlook
was dubious enough. However the
president called a meeting of the
board to see what could be done
When he stated the condition OF
the track and equipment, he added
that the company hadn't dollar
in cash, and collateral TO borrow
money on. He then asked what
should be done.
81 move that we declare a divi-
dend Of ten per cent" boldly re-
piled one of the directors.
1t was a thunderclap which
knocked 'em all down; but he fol
lowed it up by Offering to loan the
company $4,000 to make the divi-
dend, and 4 dividend was decided
on. The stock at once leaped from
thirty-four to ninety cents. and in q
year it was held at los and paying
dividends on that.

Write Them a Letter To-Night

Don't go to the theatre, lecture or ball,
But stay in your room tonight;
Deny yourself to the friends that call,
And good long letter write
Write to the ssd old folks at home,
Who sit when the day is done
With folded hands and-downcast eyes,
And think of the absent one.
Don't selfshly scIibble: Excuse my haste
pVe scarcely time to writo,"
Lest their brooding thoughts go wandering
back
To many bygone night,
When they lost thsir needed sleep and rest
And every breath was prayer
That God would leave their delicate babe
To their tender love and care.
Don't let them feel that you've no more need
Of their love and counsel Wiss;
For the heart grows strangely sensitive
When age has dimmmed the eyea.
1t might be well to let them believe
You Lsver forge. them quite
That you deem il q pleasure when far away,
Long letters home to write.
Don't think that the young and giddy friends
Who mako your pastime gay
Have half the anxious thoughts for you
That the old folks have to-day.
The duty OF writing do not put off,
Let sleep or pleasure wait,
Lest the letter for which they look and long,
Be day or an hour too late.
For the sad old folks at home,
With lock fact turning white,
Are longing to hear of the absent one
Write them a letter to night.

The Sundcwer.

The suuf1ower is the best egg

raiser who tries it will find thst il
is the best food known for CLOSING

indispensable to those whO want to
fit their birds for exhibition to the
best advantage. The Russian sun
flower is easily raised, requires
very little care, and can be grown
in fence corners and other places
difficult to lcultivate. It's produc-
tion of seed is immense, yielding
often at the rate of 100 bushels to

No Cats,

There is not a single cat within

Col. Cats have been imported
there by the hundreds, and in all
varieties of color and size, but not
one has survived the second week OF

rats or mice in Leadville, there is
no real need of cats, and it makes
but little difference whether they
live or die. The thin atmosphere

cheerfulness.

If people generally knew what an
advantage to them it was to be
cheerful, there would be fewer sour
faces in the world and infinitely
less ill-temper. A man never gains
anything by exhibiting his annoy
ance in his face, much less by
bursting into passion. AS it is
neither manly nor wise to yield
like child pettishly to every cross,
so it is alike foolish and absurd to
allowsfeelings of anger to deprive
US of self-control. There never was
a man in any controversy who lost
his temper who did not come near
losing his case in consequence If
ever person plays the game of his
enemies, it is when he Is in passion.
Acquaintance shun men of pro-
verbal ill-temper, friends drop
away from them; even wives and
children gradually learn to fear
more than to love. Thousands Of
men owe their want of success in
life to neglecting the control of
their temper. Good temper is
gold-is beyond price. Bad tenn
per is a curse to the possessor and
society.

there is a custom now growing old
OF grinding or pounding the shelled
