Forty years before the destruction of Je.
rusalem, Christ expressed astonishment
that the Jews could not discern "the signs
Of the times" The human reason, DOS
sessed Of a knowledge that certain causes
produce corresponding effects, is gifted
with forcknoT1edge Of historical events,
That the utter generalization of France
during the last century would result in
revolution, was forescen long before it hap
pened. Madame Pompadour, looking for
ward to the time Of reckoning, said, "AJfer
me, the deluge." The conspiracy Of the
slave power was foreshadowed in 1920, In
1850 the strength and character Of the con
spiracy were plainly visible. The time had
nearly arrived when the destruction of the
Republic would be necessaryt to the longer
dominion Of slavery.


Comparing together certain periods Of the
last fifteen centuries, we perceive that the
dominant nations Of the world have been
steadily approaching recognition Of the
equality Of man. Revolutions in govern
ment, the overthrow Of CASTE and the ex-
tincion Of the power of the few over the
many, are the necessary conditions Of a
progressive society: POLITICAL and
social institutions in conformity with
christian civilization, can only be
reyolutionized when society relapses
into barbarism. If men. should do unto
others as they would have others do unto
them, the logical conclusion is, that man,
divested Of the capricious usages Of socie-
ty, is the brother and equal Of his fellow
man everywhere From this maxim flow
all the principles Of moral and political
justice. It is an eternal rebuke and me-
mace to every form Of oppression.


It is in the nature of human passions to
produce war whenever the lust of power
encroaches On the natural rights of man.
There can be no durable peace till every
1ostright ereeoyered; and the conflict must
so on while despot1sm Is backed up by
power, and there is nation OF party strong
enough to uphold the principles Of liberty,


Secession was intended to DESTROY the
Republic, and thus stay the progress of
freedom. 1t naturally looks for help to
those governments supposed to be most
Jealous of our increasing strength. If the
Republic stand, not slavery alone will fall,
but all nations on which we exert social or
political influence will receive such an in
fusion Of republican ideas, as to shake to
the very centre their monarchial systems.
We must march at the head Of the ideas Of
the age, or sink back into hopeless insig-
Dlticance. This Is an age Of emancipation,
not an age Of slavery. We cannot restore
slavery to its forfeited place without going
backwards, and losing position which
could never be regained. Our national
sAety-naY, our very existence, demands
that we take long step .torward. Reac-
ton is the fern of disease most fatal to
liberty. If VIC conquer the South, and
spare slavery, sectional antipathies will re-
main, and slavery will have conquered the
Republic

Mr.. JOEL DRAPER, of Otoe county,
Nebraska, in letter to the Nebraska
City .NelCs, recently, says:


Having had twenty years expert
ence in raising spring wheat on Illi-
nois peairie soil, where wheat is most
liable to be smutty; l have thought
bess to give you my method Of treat
ing wheat before sowing, which / con-
slider a sure preventive, while those in
my vicinity have raised almost as much
smut as wheat.


My method is, to secure 3 or 4 quarts
Of fresh Stacked dry lime, to a bushel
of wheat, quantity Of salt, two tubs,
large basket, paddle, skinner, and
a seive. / put into one Of the tubs
enough water to cover well one bushel
of wheat, then add salt enough to make
a very strong brine pour in slowly
half bushel Of wheat, stirring it thor
oughly while pouring, then skim the
thickest Of the foul stuff of, and pour
in the other half bushel stir andskim
thoroughly, place the basket over the
empty tub, and pour the brine and
wheat into it; l then sift thin LAYER
of lime on floor, put on a thin layer
Of wheat; then a layer of lime and so.
on, until the basket is empty; shovel
it over until well mixed, put it in a
barrel or box, and let it stand twelve
hours or more before sowing, the long
er the better, as it will not iniure IN
this condition. Serve the remainder
of your seed in the same manner, add
ing water and salt as it becames neces.
sary. Sow on dry day, when the
land is dry, and no smut viii make its
appearance. Never put clean wheat
for seed into -four sacks, or SOW it in
the mud, as either viii produce snit /.

These machines make the celebrated GROVER &
BAKER STITCH, which has taken the highest premi-

United States Fair in ST. LOUIS in 1860 and at the
principle State Fairs throughout the country.


Competent judges gave decision in favor Of this

all kinds Of family and manufacturing purposes.

The general blue color of tie


atmosphere, and the brilliant and


glorious tints of the morning and


evening, arise frcm the different


notifications which the different
rays of light receive in passing
through the air. When the sun
is near the horizon, the stratum of
air through which the light must
pass before it reaches us is greatly
thicker than when he is at a con-
siderable altitude. The red rays
possess greater momentum than
those of the upper portion cf the
spectrum, whence they force. their
way in greater abundance through
the resting mass of the air, and
penetrate, to the earth, while The
violet and blue are reflected or ab-
sorbed. Hence the ruddy color Of
the morning and evening skies
The prevailing blue color Of the
atmosphere is to lie ascribed 10
theigreater facility with which the
blue and violet rays are reflected,
OF from possessing less power to
through the aerial strata.

% The Saco Democrat, it seems to US, tries
very hard to ride two horses, the war horse and
the peace animal. In its last issue it says in
one editorial article:


Has the North no sins to repent of?-does

geance upon the South ?-and will it never
cease to cry for blood? Is it not time to pause
in this mad work of blood? Is il not time to

things.

complains Of the delay in the work of slaughter
and says:

proprietor of the land which is most accessible,
has the modesty TO ask 81 500 for his lot. Then
again, this proposed levee is outside the line
which will be adopted for building the permanent

Rubcl levee local character. People in other
parts of the city are not patriotic as to be Civ
ing their money to protect solely other peoples
property. Their lots are situated where the
buck waters of the Sacramento overfows them,
and stopping the Rabe crevasse is not to benefit
them one farlhing. The citizens Of the nor tn east
section OF the city would not feel like paying out
cash for temporarily building up the street
lcvee.


THE STEAMER NEVADA.


This opposition steamer. which was sunk few
days ago. in the slough. is likely to prove total
loss. This is regretted here by many who are
violent haters of the Steam Navigation Company.
The steamer Sacramento, her partner in the op
position line, having been repaired resumed her
place yesterday. Cheap passage and low freight
to Sun Francisco. has materially injured our
Wholesale houses, and presume these merchants
would not shed many tears if the line was entire
ly broken up. The opposition without the Ne
vada, will not be very formidable But she may
be raised.

was also done. The lots at the intersection
of Chestnut and Mason streets are full six
| feet under water, aud a corner house upon
Lick's lot, belonging to poor family, was
blown down. 1t was sad blow for them.
This flooding above Mason and Chestnut

streets by high embankmeDts without the
first approach to a sewer TO drain the sunk

THE Docs OF ST.. BERNARD-One of the
most remarkable of these noble dogs was
Barry, who is known to have saved the lives
of forty individuals. Besides his cask around
his neck, he carried warm garment on his
back and if he failed to rouse the traveller
into some sense of life by his warm tongue
and breath, he would race back to the house
and bring somebody to the rescue. One day
Barry found poor boy asleep and almost
frozen to death in the celebrated glacier of
Balsore. Barry warmed the boy. licked him,
gave him something to drink, and carried
him on his back to the monastery. The joy
of the poor parents who can describe? After
life of service, Barry was sent down the
mountain to a warm and comfortable home.
where he passed the rest of his days in hon
orable quiet. AT his death his body was
carefully buried. his skin was stuffed. and
there he may be seen in the Museum of
Berne, standing as large as life, with his col
lar and bottle round his neck, ready TO
start on his labors of love.
