The delegates to the Democratic ma
tional convention must have looked at
one another in puzzled silence after
they had passed the resolution ar
raigning the Republican party for pre-
venting the admission OF the territor-
les. There was not man of them
who did not know that the Republican
party has lahorcd long and constantly
60 secure justice for the territories and
that the success of its efforts has been
prevented by the uneomprising oppo-
sition of the Democracy To the admis-
sion 90 the union Of any state which is
likely to give n Republican majority.
II the Democrats are sincere in their
newly discovered love for the territor.
les. the members OF the party in the
house of representatives can convince
the country OF the fact by promptly
passing the bill for the division and al
mission Of Dakota which has already
been passed by the senate.

WISE WORDS.

Be content; the sea hath fish enough
Black plums may eat as sweet as
white.
Honor and profit do not always lie in
the same sack.
An evil intention perverts the best ac-
tions and makes them sins.
A coxcomb is ugly all over with the
atfectation of the fine gentleman.
The mill streams that turn the clap.
pers of the world arise in solitary places.
The government of ones self is the
only true freedom of the individual.
Great men begin enterprises because
they think them great, and fools because
they think them easy.
Truth is the most powerful thing in
the world, since fiction can only please
by its resemblance to it.
General observations drawn from par
ticulars are the jewels of knowledge,
comprehending great store in little
room.
There may be times when silence is
gold, and speech silver; but there are
times, also, when silence is death and
speech is life.
How wisely do they act who take no
anxious thonght for the morrow, but are
attentive according to present ability, to
the duties of the present day.
Love is not altogether a dcirium, YET
it has many points in common herewith.
Call it rather discerning of the infinite
in the finite of the ideal made real.
How many daily occasions there are
for the exercise of patience, torbearance,
benevolence, good humor, cheerful
ness, candor, sincerity, compassion and
self denial.
Truth is the object of our understand
ing, as good is of our will; and the un-
derstanding can no more be delighted
with lie than the WILL can choose an
apparent evil.
People are commonly so much occupied
in pointing out faults in those ahead of
them, as to forget that some, astern, may
at the same instant be decanting on
theirs in like manner.

A Mining ProprietOr's Vow.

Eight years ago r. c. Parsons quareled
with his relatives IN Indiana about
property, and went to New Mexico, VOW
ing that he would not return to his old
home until he was worth as much money
as all his relatives put together. He be-
came mining prospector with poor
success until a year ago, when he dis
covered and opened a splendid mine
near White Oaks. He received an offer
of 800, 600 for a half interest in the
property and refused it. Then $3.50, O0O
was offered him for half interest. This
he also refused, saying that he must
have half a million in order that he
might return to Indiana. He couldn't
get $500, coo, and so, therefore, killed
himself, dying without a cent in his
pocket. The mine, which will readily
sell for $500, 600, will go to the Indiana
relatives with whom he quarreled. De

He sent for the captain and mates, heard
their statements, and then dismissed us
with the threat Of sending us to prison
if we made any further ado. l went to
the United States authorities, secured
the arrest of the officers, and the captain
was fined S400, the first mate $3.50, and
the second $3.50. And yet, on the return
voyage--which was with new crew
every man was beaten like dog, and
the ship went into Liverpool with half
the crew unable to pull a rope.
| made third voyage before the mast
before taking berth as first mate This
was on the brig Good Intent, bound
from Plymouth to the Canary Islands
We left port one man short, simply to
save money for the owners. Our bread was
full of weevils and worms, and the pork so
tainted that an open barrel Of it scented
the whole brig. We had not the boats
required by law, and we had no med-
cines aboard-not even dose of salts.
Here were five derelictions which made
the master amenable to law. Within
week the two first officers got so intoXi-
Gated that they could not take an obser-
vation at noon, and for three days our
position was unknown to them. The
Captain, while drunk, upset lamp and
set the cabin on fire, and his chief officer
while in the same condition, fell over
board and narrowly escaped drowning
We forfeited our insurance no less than
three times, and for the last 300 miles
of our voyage we ran by sights, which |
took myself and worked out. There
wasn't day without its brutal treatment
of the men, two of whom were fired
upon by the Captain, and yet when we
finally made port not a sailor could get
to join me in legal statement. The
brig, cargo and all our lives were in con-
slant menace, every right was denied to
us, and men were never more brutally
used and yet the Captain and his mates
were permitted to escape without even a
complaint. -Neic York Sun.

HoneY-DeW.

Honey.dew neither falls from the
skies, nor is it made by an insect, but it
is viscid saccharine matter that eXudes
from both trees and herbaceous plants.
1t is usually, but not always, associated
with the presence OF aphides and other
insects which feed on the juices of plants,
and from this circumstance the flow of
honey-dew is ascribed TO their puuctures
but the rupture OF the tissues from any
other cause seems to produce it, and
warm dry weather seems TO be necessary
for producing in the sap that super
abundance of sugar which is thus thrown
Off Aphides themselves exude by GER
tain peculiar organs drops of a fluid that
is called honey-dew, which probably
differs much from the direct exudation
Of the plants on which they feed, but
mingles with it where they abound. -

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
DRYING Lace Curtains.

The easiest way to dry lace curtains
after washing them is take dry, sunny
day fasten them TO the line by one edge
with clothes pins only a few inches
apart; then gently pull and stretch them
until dry. II quilts are folded or rolled
tightly after washing, then beaten with
a rolling pin or potato mashcr, it light
ems up the cotton and makes them seem
soft and new. Stair carpets should have
a strip of thick paper placed under them
over the edge of every stair (which is
where they first wear OUT TO Lessen the
fr ction of the carpet against the boards
beneath. Strips Of old bed Quilts put
under a stair carpet deaden the sound Of
footsteps besides making the carpet
wear longer 1t is a good plan to slide
them along each time they are put down,

Nle same places. Prairie FJrmsr.

Brushing ChiIdren,s Hair.

Frequent and thorough brushing of
the hair is extremely desirable. 1t not
only improves temporarily the appear
ance of child, but tends at the same
time to keep the scalp in a healthy
condition. II stimulates the growth of
the hair, and prevents it from becoming
dry and harsh. Care should be exercised
in selecting a thick, soft brush, and due
attention paid to the manner in which 1t
is used. There is a right way and a
wrong way of doing many things, and
in brushing the hair the latter is too
frequently employed. The mother or
nurse who assumes this important duty
must take plenty of time and give her
undivided attention to it. If the opera
tion be performed hastily or careessly
the child soon learns to dread it; while
or the other hand, if it is always asso-
ciated with few p 'easant words, a short
fairy ta'e or something of the kind, the
operation will give pleasure to both Of
the parties concerned, and the beneficial
results will soon become apparent. A
comb is an implement of doubtful utility
in the nursery, and certainly one which
is capable of doing as much harm as
good. For parting the hair a coarse
comb with blunt, rounded teeth may be
used; bat for dealing with the inevita.
BILE snar!s which so often appear in the
best regulated locks. brush supple
mente1 by gentle fingers, should only be
used. Under no consideration should a
comb be allowed to come in contact with
the delicate sc lip of child, and the use
of a tine-toothed instrument of torture,
such as was formerly in vogue, ought in
this enlightened age to be relegated
from the nursery to chamber Of hor-
rors--Bd5yhOod.

How to Pluck Poultry.

have known persons on market day,
says a writer in the JJpyHat of HJrti-Ul-
tire, to 90 out and kill twelve OF fifteen
fowls, and to bring them into a room
where there would be half a dozen
women and boys pulling a few feathers
at a time, between their thumb and fore
tinge-, to prevent tearing them. Now,
for the benefit of such, / will give our
plan Hang the fowl by the feet by a
small cord; then, with a small knife,
give one cut across the upper jaw, OPP
posite the corners of the mouth; after
the blood has stopped running a stream
place the point of the knife in the
groove in the upper part of the mouth,
run the blade into the back part Of the
head, which will cause twitching OF
the muscles. Now is your time, for
every feather yields as if by magic, and
there is no danger of tearing the most
tender chick. Before he attempts to flap
you can have him as bare as the day he
came out of the egg.

THE SONG OF THE scYrHE.


Far up on the mountain-side,
Where swiftly, like phantoms, glide
The clou1-land shadows,
hear mowers scythe,
With busy sound and blithe,
In the rocky meadows.
Harkl-on the breeze conveyed
The rhythmic rush Of the blade,
BY strong arms whirledl
IL sings, in a murmurous tone,
OF work to be bravely done
In this busy world.
Sometimes, with jan ngling tone,
The bright blade strikes stone,
But seems TO cry:
"Tis naught Let the worries pass.
There needs must be stones in the grass
For all who try
Thus, wind-borne all day long,
You may hear the scythe's brave song
On the mountain farms.
But the mower little knows
or the song that comes and goes
As he swings his arms.
james Buckham, in Hdrper's Weekly.
