do. Good grooming is necessary for health
in winter. Ground gypsum spread upon the
floors will prevent the pungent odor common
to stables. This vapor of ammonia is hurt
full to horses eyes, and the frequent cause of
ophthalmia, and resulting in blindness, with
which so many horses are troubled. Throw
a few pailsful of water upon the floor first,
and then scatter around a shovelful of the
gypsum. Fresh air should enter the stable at
the bottom and the foul air escape at the top.
Make small sliding doors for ventilation, and

The rag baby has received blow which
puts that ill begotten offspring of political
folly to bed in very sick condition. But
what of the wet nurses; What are they to
do? As to Thurman and Hendricks, and like
Presidency seeking demagogues, it is i'm
material what they may do. Politically, they
are dead; as dead as the galvanized mummy
of Gramercy Park. But they are not all of
them wet nurses. There is considerable
party of them; party styled ''the Democ-
racy." Where are ''the Democracy" to 60
now? What are they to do? They have
abandoned the solid ground of no govern
mental interference with money. They have
changed position with their opponents. They
have surrendered the citadel of hard money
to the Republicans. With their historic idiocy
they have swapped off the gospel of truth for
the rawlings of lunacy. They can not 60 back.
They can not resume the ground of hard
money, now fairly in possession of the ad-
ministration party, except they abandon the
only ground on which an opposition party
stand. They have chosen deliberately to get
on the wrong side of the line, and have
plainly no alternative but to fight for the
miserable rag baby or lay down their arms.

Have you ever seen the white oxen OF Italy?
do not mean those of Southern lt.ly, where
every pair of horns is wonder, where the
question is not whether the load of hay but
the horns can pass through gate. Our oxen
in Central Italy are prettier animals-white
as snow, large, but splendidly propo1tioned,
pretty little black horns and eyes, Jupiter l
have never seen such eyes! (Beg. pardon, but
may as we'll say 'Jupiter" at once, and
have done with j: : you know the old story as
well as l, and believe could no more help

almost every day, is little farm house, be-
fore the door of which, tied by his horns to
tree, we see very frequently the beau ideal
of these animals, and have become so attach
ed to the pretty creature that we temble for
fear we shall lose him in the fair. Welooked
for him yesterday morning, for am sure
even among the many thousand snow-white
fellows we should have recognized him at
once if we had seen him. Isuppose his poor
master, for whom, perhaps, he is the only
treasure, would like to cell him, yet cannot
help hoping when We 60 that way again we
shall find him tied to the fig tree turning upon
us those beautiful eyes to welcome our ap-
proach. Such lashes half as long as my
finger, jet black, and resting, when he shuts
his eyes, on his silky white cheeks with such
effect, l could easily believe that like CO.
Quettish beauty, he does it with purpose.


do not know how many of these splendid
animals were on the Fair ground yesterday.
Two or three days ago farmer boy, who
volunteered to instruct US concernining the
coming Fair, when we asked him how many
oxen we should see there-if many thousand
answered with smile of pity at our ignor-
ance, ''Oh, more than that-many millions!"
Well, supposing there was field as large as
Franklin square covered as thick as they
stand with snow-white oxen, every one snow
white, how many oxen would there be-? l
think there were more than could stand on
Franklin square, but I do not think there
were ''many millions" Afterward, when We
had returned to the city, we went to the high
est point, called ''Porta Sale,' and looking
from there down on the white field, were re-
minded Of the miracle of snow which fell
once in midsummer in Rome on square just
as large as the basilica (Santa Maria Mag

''cooler that way?" his boot legs tapping
every time he takes step, etc., etc. !? Am

these? have seen other girls brothers ap-
pear as l describe; ], have no brothers. This
carelessness in the boys seems quite as bad
to me as it does to see girl wear her morn
ing wrapper in the afternoon. In regard to

An article of very interesting and
instructive nature, on the physiological
action of baths, was published in late
number of the London Lancet. Summing
up, the writer notes that warm baths
produce an effect upon the skin directly
contrary to that which is brought about
by cold water. The cutaneous vessels
dilate Immediately under the influence
of the heat, and although the dilation is
followed by a contraction, this contrac-
ton is seldom excessive, and the ulti-
mate result of a warm bath is to increase
the cutaneous circulation. The pulse
and respiration are both quickened In
the cold bath. The warm bath increases
the temperature of the body, and by
lessening the necessity for the internal
production of heat, it decreases the call
which is made upon certain of the vital
processes, and enables life to be sus-
tanned with less expenditure OF force.
While cold bath causes certain stltf-
ness of the muscles if continued too
long. q warm bath relieves stiffness and
fatigue. The final effect of both hot
and cold baths, if this temperature be
moderate, is the same, the difference
being. to use the words of Braun, that


"cold refreshes by stimulating the func


tions, heat by physically facilitating
them, and in this lies the importan


difference between the cold water sys


tenn and the thermal mode of treatment.

A curious incident is related OF can
ary bird by Georgia paper. The door
of the birds cage was occasionally left
open that he might enjoy the freedom OF
the room. One day he happened to
alight upon the mantelshelf where there
was mirror. Here was new discovery
of the most profound interest: He
gazed long and curiously at himself, and
came to the conclusion that he had
found mate. Going back to his cage,
he selected seed from his box, and
brought it in his bill as an offering to
the stranger. In vain the canary exerted
himself to make his new-found friend
partake, and becoming weary OF that,
tried another tack. Stepping back q
few inches from the glass, he poured
forth his sweetest notes, pausing now
and then for a reply. None came, and
moody and dispirited he few back to his
perch, hanging his head in shame and
silence for the rest of the day; and al


though the door was repeatedly LEFT
open, he refused to come out again.

Following is the platform


The principles Of the Republican party, rs
written in the history of the country, as spe
cifically declared in the National platform of
the party, as made sacred by the blood of pa
triots shed in defence of the Union and free
dom, we hereby reatfiTm.


TO the soldiers who sacrificed so much in
defence Of our common country there is q
debt of gratitude due which can never be fully
discharged. The pledges made by the Repub-
lican party and by our patriotic peO-
pie are binGing and sacred obligations,
never TO be forgotten, never to be
impaired, but to the fullest extent to be full
filed We therefore denOunce as unpatriOtic,
heartless and infamous the act of the Ohio
Legislature introduced by deserter, bounty
Jumper and convict, intended and calculated
TO driye from the Soldiers Orphan Home the
orphans and children of deceased or disabled
soldiers, or to rob the widows and families of
such patriots of the pittance paid to them by
the Government of the United States, and de-
mand its unconditional repeal.


The financial question having been disposed
of by Congress, and the country at present
needing repose, in order that capital may seek
investment, and that industries may revive,
thus increasing the demand for labor, the sit
uatiOn ought TO be accepted, and we oppose
the further agitation Of the question at this
time as injurious to business and devoid Of
other than evil results.


The disposition exhibited by conservative
men in the South to oppose revolutionary
methods Oh the part OF Northern Democrats,
os shown first in their refusal TO oppose the
cOnsummatfon of the electoral count, and
more lately in the expression of sentiment
in disapprObatiOn of the proposed attack
on the Presidents title. is received as prom

the issues of the war were settled, including
the Constitutional amendments guaranteeing
equal civil and political rights, free speech,
free press and an untrammelled ballot TO all
citizens. OpOn these conditions alone can sec
tiOnal strife be alayed, and sectional lines
which now separate. III great measure the
south from the North, be obliterated.


A tariff for revenue should be maintained
and so adjusted as to secure incidental prOtec-
ton to home industry.


True economy requires that the Government
should make sufficient appropriations to carry
forward the work on all pubic buildings with
out delay, and this should especially DC tLe Is

other day was spent upon the bill in the House.


Judge Kelley and General Ewing made their last
desperate and unsuccessful effort to defeat the Re
sumption Act to-day. Each proposed in different
form to restrict the appropriation for the Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing as to prevent bonds irom
being engraved, provided they were to be used TO
aid the resumption of specie payments. Judge
Kelley demanded this restriction, as he said III the
name of national honor; and General Ewing said
that the Secretary of the Treasury had already Is
sued 1920 900 Of bonds for purposes OF resump-
ton, and had increased the debt TO that amount.
Now, he sad the people demand that II should stop.


General Garfield. in a brief, pointed and very
effective speech, showed that the predictions of Cen
eral Ewing and his followers to the effect that the
approach of specie resumption would be attended
by all sorts of disaster had not been fulfilled and
that the proposition of Judge Kelley and General
Ewing to prevent Secretary Sherman from carrying
out the law was made in their desperation to bring
about a fulflment of their predictions. Each
amendment was rejected by about twenty majority,


vote that is full of hopeful signs for it shows that
many Representatives, whoea ly in the session were
determined to prevent the resumption OF specie
payments are not so anxious now that resumption
has become so nearly accomplished.

1t is to MeXcanize the affairs of this country,
to cause general distrust, TO PROSTATE our IN

tress of the laboIing and industrial classes,
we unqualifedly condemn.

questioned; and we recognize in his admins

the most sincere effort to promote political

The present Legislature is a warning to, the

lied every State institution to make places Tor
