TIE editor of the Herald, published at
Menominee, in the upper peninsula, must be
a man Of varied and various attainments. In
his last paper he makes an apology to his sub
scribers for his neglect of the editorial de-
partment, stating that our duties in reIa-
ton to the construction Of the Menominee
and Bay du Noe State road, calls us away
from home nearly all the time, and will do
so for the next three weeks; when we hope
to be able to attend better to the Editorial

BEST METHOD OF KEEPING BEEF
Cut up the meat in pieces as large as you
desire pack it in barrel or cask then
make brine as follows: Il lbs of
salt to l gallon of water, l o. saltpeter
to 1O0lbs. of beef, l tablespoonful Of
ground pepper to 100 lbs. of beef. Put
in the salt and the saltpeter, and heat it
boiling hot, skim ii, then add the pepper.
Pour it on the beef boiling hot and cover
closely. Your meat will be good at any
time. The philosophy is this the hot
brine closes the pores on the surface, pre-
venting decay and the meat from getting
too salt Try it. If necessary, scald
the brine over in the spring, or put on a
new brine. Farmers can in this way
have fresh meat nearly all the time.

MoDEsTY in women is the charm Of charms,
it is like the mantle Of green nature, without
which she is desert, or morass. It is
modesty which supplies the very nerves and
soul to beauty. A fair woman without
virtue" said the Bible, is like palid wine
It is woman's point of homer, which she can
never allow to be insulted with impunity-
Her honor, like the snow, is melted with
the slightest touch. Il is like rOsewater in a
beautiful glass; break but the glass, and how
doth the fragrant essence embrace the burst
and lose forever its charming sweetness!

A distinguished and lifelong Democrat
was approached a few days ago as follows:


1--WE are going to hold large meeting to
ratify our nomination for Governor, and de-
sire to secure your services on that occasion
to make a speech"


ANswER.-" My dear sir, am afraid I
could not do you much good"


"Ah, you are mistaken; your name an
nounced as a speaker would secure a large
attendance; and we must get up an enthu-
siasm"


REPLY.-"To be frank with you, if con
sent to make speech, | shall advocate the
amendment to the Constitution; as things
are now shaping in the Southern States, |
am unwilling as life long Democrat to lend
my influence for the perpetuation of this
institution which all agree is dead. TO speak
plainly, | am emphatically and decidedly in
favor of it."


" Well, know that some of our party feel
that way, and the General himself thought
it would be put in the platform, but you
know there is Rogers, Burr, Wall, and that
stripe, opposed to it. and We yielded"


Reply" Well, if it has come to this, that
those men are to dictate to the Democracy of
New Jersey what they must vote, you can
count me out. "-Erit.

We call attention to the advertisement of
the Duplex Elliptic or Double Spring Skirt.
Though recent invention, it has become
very popular and is rapidly obtaining the
preference over other kinds in use The rods
in it are composed each Of two delicate and
well-tempered steel springs, which are in
geniously braided together edge to edge, the
lower rods heavier. and having double COW
ering. This popularity of construction
makes this skirt very strong and durable,
and also exceedingly flexible that it readily
adapts itself to the form of the wearer, and
allows of any amount of doubling and crush
ing without injury to its shape. These skirts
are unIuestionably the lightest, most desira-
BILE, comfortable and economical ever made
These are advantages which ladies, who have
experienced the discomfort and inconvenience
of single springs, will duly appreciate. Fol-

Its big undertaking to carry New
Jersey |" Yes, it is rather so; but we have
been fighting it on the same line for long
time, and just as surely as Richmond, the
great centre of copperheadism, fell, just so
surely every other copperhead stronghold

aged to get very large majority, helped
greatly however by the fact that we had
generals of the copperhead persuasion who
believed in not hurting rebels, and whose
works were just like their faith.


But the people have found out what that
kind of loyalty is that goes mincingly into
the presence of our chief magistrates to tell
them that New Jersey will help them, if
they do everything on " constitutional :"
plan, and who make their own Interpretation
of the constitution that every thing which
preserved the nation was contrary to the
liberties of the people. They had had enough
of the quacking Of men who are always pra-
ting about the constitutional rights of those
who have shed the blood of their kindred
The honest masses of the people are not to
be deluded.


And who can tell what so-called Demo-
cratic principles are? In New York and
New England they are just like the Repub-
licans; but in New Jersey these men reveal
themselves, and show that even the war has
failed to teach them decency Even now
they seem to be sorry the rebels have been
whipped.


The soldiers will not vote with the copper
heads. They have fought too many of them
with the musket, to go with them now at
the ballot box. They will cast votes which
will make such creatures to howl from Sus-
sex to Cape May, as much as any of the spe-
cies ever did in all the war at the South.


twill be no such great work to whip out
the copperheads in New Jersey With the
sound sense of the people, fully awake to the
past tergiversations Of the party, and with
the soldiers whom they so carefully exclud-
ed from voting, home to cast their ballots,
there is no reason why we should doubt
that New Jersey will take her place with
her sister States for the Union.

Sir Morton Pete, one of the party of English
capitalists now on visit to this country, is not
only a capitalist, hut is one who has acquired
bis wealth by his industry and talent, and who
displays the powers of keen observer and OF
a frank and pleasant speaker. One of his best
speeches he made at Chicago. He dwelt upon
the fact that he did not find us exhausted by
the war. HI said he was impressed with the
self reliant, persevering spirit Of the people,
which was leading them to develop everywhere
the resources of the land, instead of sitting
down idle and inert. A country, in which the
people manifest such spirit, is the country to
invest capital in. But after referring to those
points, he said:


There is one thing which has impressed my
mind more than any other thing in my visit to
this country and that is the way in which you
have absorbed your large army | know some
what Of the nature of standing armies in Europe.
We know what standing army means We
have seen Russia go into conflict with large
standing army and come ont with burden
which has made her, instead of the strongest,
among the weakest of the nations. Austria has
so far crippled her resources as to be almost in
the power of her neighbors.


And we have lived to see an army without
parallel in anything that Europe has ever seen,
and we have seen that army simply absorbed
i'll the regular industrial and producing ranks
of the nation. And you have Generals who are
citizens, ready to apply themselves every day to
their vocations in the ordinary affairs of life =
There can be nothing to prevent America being
great, powerful and peaceful, the first country
of the earth"

People say that Gen. Runyon is beginning
to look haggard, as if already convinced that
defeat awaits him. We do not wonder that
he feels bad. Deserted by the party leaders
with the tide running dead against him, and
with people everywhere closing up in solid
column for the charge upon copperhead
breastworks in November, it is not at all
surprising that the doughty General, whose
only fighting was done by telegraph, quails
and trembles, and wishes he had never left
his hole, to face the realities of sharp and
aggressive campaign.

The copperheads pretend that they are in
favor Of equal taxation. They propose to tax
the income upon United States bonds, in or
der to bring about an equality of taxation;
but they say nothing about the fifty millions
Of railroad property which are exempt from
taxation, nor the two or three millions of
dollars in State bonds, which are also ex-
empt, and made so by their votes in the Leg
islature. The truth is, that class legislation
and the bestowal Of exclusive privileges upon
particular companies, have always been the
distinguishing characteristics of the policy
of the sham Democracy of New Jersey. The
declaration that they are in favor of equal
taxation. is bit of sheer impudence. They
have never favored anything of the kind In
