DEMOCRATIC BALDERDAsH. The


old Bourbon at Columbus, the Crisis,
pronounoes the amendment to strike
out the word white" from the Consti-
tuition, "a proposition to make a negro
colony Of Ohio" That is stale fish
The same tWaddle was talked when the


Black Laws were repealed. The State
of Ohio will no more be a negro colo
ny after the black man has been ad-
mitted to the ballot box than it is now.
Inasmuch as IN the Southern States
he viii have the same political priv
ileges that it IS proposed to confer up
on him In Ohio, the negro will have
nothing to gain politically, and much
to loose socially, by a change of his
residence. Who does not remember
the columns Of nonsense in the Dem
Ocratic papers of this State preceding
the act of emancipation. To free the
slaves, it was said, would result in a
Wholesale migration of the blacks into
the n Northern States; they would come
into competition with the laboring
whites, and take the bread out of the
mouths of the working mans family
But they were freed, and we submit it
of any candid laboTing man whether
the predicted result followed. There
was no cheapening of prices by yreason
of redundant supply of labor. No
artisan or working man, if his knowl-
edge of the accomplishment Of the
emancipation of the blacks depended
upon the effect it Rould have upon la
Dor, would have been aware that slaV-
cry was at an end in the United States.
The negroes as a rule, remained where
they were born and raised, and there
they will continue to reside if the equal
protection of the law is thrown around
them. tits sheer partisan stupidity
to assert that negro suffrage in Ohio
will convert the State into a negro col
ony, and any intelligent man ought to
blush up to his ears for dealing in such
stale twaddle.- Cincinnati CONNER

decently laid out by those soon expected
to share their fate.


The survivors could not bear to sin&
the bodies of their comrades into the sea,
but kept them so that when the last man
died the fated ship that had been their
common home should be their common

faithfully 10 the last, but cold, hunger,
and scurvy, and dysentery were too much
for him. The brave old captain was the
first victim, and died blessing his men

ship was tenanted only By the dead and

FLORENCE, Oct. ga. M.-The italian press
is engaged in an anxious discussion of the ma
tional crisis and the policy of the Government.
The more moderate liberal journals express
appreciation of the action of the Cabinet towards
the Garibaldians and in the observance of the
September Convention. The democratic papers
are firm in their opposition TO the course of the
Executive, and loud in their condemnation of
the idea of foreign Intervention in Rome.


There is much popular diaffecton, produced
mainly by the vagueness of the Kings procla-
nation on the subject of the Roman question,
and from the fact that the royal manifesto con-
tains no allusion or makes no reference TO the
matter of French Intervention and how it should
be met. The army contingent as classed in the

The Germantown Telegraph says: How
to raise pocket money is a hard question for
great many farmers sons to solve. True,
some may have but little trouble to get it
providing their parents are wealthy; but to
this class | shall not speak. 10 such boys
As ike to earn what they spend, and have a
desire 20 become farmers, | will present a
plan by which these ends may be attained
to greater or less degree.


I'm tie first place it viii be necessary to
have small piece of ground, on the farm,
Of course; to those who cannot get that, my
plan will not be feasible. After having got
your land, you are ready to commence oper-
atoms. All your spare moments may be
employed upon it. | suppose most boys
know what to plant; but still few hints
from one who has tried it may not be out OF
place Ii you are near ready market, L
would suggest early vegetables, such Us peas,
string beans, beets, early potatoes, ETC.; and
10 those that we've at distance from any
auch market, pop corn might be raised to
advantage, or white bush beans, rs they al
ways command good price if good arti-
Gle; still great deal would depend on the
nature OF the land, and what was most In
demand in either case. After planting, do
not think that your work is done till har-
vesting; but keep your ground mellow ; hoe
your crops as often as you can; do net let a
weed De seen, for all that goes to the nour-
ishnent of the weed will be taken from
your pocket 1t will take you but few
moments day to hoe it over, if you do not
have TOO much ground, which will be worse
than none, for you will find that little
ground we'll titled is great deal better than
good deal left to take care of itself or only
hall taken care of.


Another thing you will find to be of
great use to you as well as a pleasant pas
time, and that is to have blank book, in a
part of which you should SET down the time
OF planting, the kind of manures used, and
which gave the best satisfaction how your
crops stood the drought or wet weather, as
the case might be, and in fact anything you
think 1t might benefit you to know in a sue
GGeeding year. In another part of my book
would keep an account with my land,
charging 1t with the manure, seed and la
Dor, and giving it credit for its produce.
In this way you can see at glance what
crops pay best, and what manure will pro-
GGGce the largest crops In keeping your
book tor few years you will derive much
Pleasure in looking back at your first begin
ning to farm tor yourself.


Il Tor the first year or two your pocket
money does not equal your expectation you
must not be discouraged, but remember that
What does not go into your pocket goes into
your head in the shape of experience, which

| The battle of Arbela was eloauence OF
! daring on the part of the young Macedoni-
an King That of Thermepyla was the
eloquence of patriotism on the part of Le-

terlltz was the eloquence of bravery on the
part of the young Corsicau. The scene OF
Valley Forge was the eloquence of faith on
the part of Washington The scene after
the battle of the Wilderness combined all
these elements, and added the eloauence of
silence. The well known result of that
fierce conflict was adverse to the army of the
United States. Gen Lee had flung one
wing of his army between our forces and
the base of their supplies, which would re-
quire another battle to regain them. Each
division and corps commander knew this sad
condition of affairs. They were all sum-
moned to a council of war, to be held at
headquarters at one o clock at night. They
were the saddest steps ever taken by that
band of devoted hearts. Fifteen Thousand
brave soldiers, dead or dying, or wounded,
were lying on the field hard by

ing a noiseless salute, silently took their
seats. Generals Schofeld, Meade, Barn

full half hour thus passed by. Their emo
tions were too deep for utterance. Hopes
hung on the decision of that council.


At length Gen. Grant asked each one in
succession he had any advice to proffer.
Each one answered with sad monosyllable.

The commander then wrote a few lines
and handed the slip to Gen. Meade, and he

been believed to be madness. Had they
known that the order had been given to ad

have been raised. That eloquent silence for
which he has ever been noted was the key
to his success there.

THE NUTRIMENT OF BEER People who
drink their ale and beer, are very fond of
telling how much nutrinteHt they derive from
them Because they are manufactured from
grain, many have the idea that the concen-
trated virtue of the grain are in the drinks
This is entire fallacy. Professor Lieblg,
one of the most eminent chemists in the
world, assures us that fourteen hundred and
sixty quarts Of best Bavaria beer contains
exactly the nourishment of two -anda-
half-pound loaf of bread This beer is very
similar to the famous English Alscpp's, and
our more popular American beer. The
fact is, the nutritious portion of the grain
is rotted before beer can be made; and if
the fermentation of the beer be complete,
Professor Lyon Playfair declares that no
nourishmeut whatever remains in the fer
mented liquor; and as the English ALI
ance Ne,cs says, mo chemist now disputes
these assertions; for, except in favor and
amount of alcohol, the chemical compost
tion of all kinds of beer is alike, and brew
ers must laugh to hear doctors advising
porter as more nourishing than beer, when
porter is nothing but beer colored by burnt
malt; and often when beer goes wrong in
the making, and is unsaleable as beer, it is
converted into fine Porter, the mere color
ing covering many defects.
