Davis Mackley, a leather
headed radical leader in Jack
son county asserted in a dis
cussion the other day, that the
people about furnaces, and in q
manufacturing community, are
more intelligent than in a farm.
ing community or agricultural
district. The Republicans Of
Adams county who follow the
plow can see by this express
ion how they are regarded by
the pig-headed protectionists
of the Iron regions. 1t is bad
enough for a man to be a fool
but to have it thrown in his
teeth by an idiot is too bad,
yet it must not be forgotten
that there is some truth in the
above assertion so far as it re.
lates to Republicans. The Re-
publican farmer who sells his
wheat for $1,05 per bushel and
pays for coffee at 2S cents a
pound without grumbling is
certainly not very smart

. IF brooms are wet in boiling
suds once a week, they will be,

the carpet, last much longer,
and always sweep like a new

may be cleaned by setting a
pail of cold water out by the
door, wet the broom in it,
knock it to get off all the drops,
sweep a yard or so, then wash
the broom as before, and sweep
again, being careful to shake
off the broom, and not sweep
far at a time. IF done with
care, it will clean carpet very
nicely, and YOU will be surpris-
ed at the quantity of dirt in
the water, The water may
need changing once or twice,
if the carpet is very dirty.

THE BELL RINGERS. The Peak Family
or rather portion of that celebrated fam
ily--gave an entertainment in this city, on
Monday evening The performance was
not what might have been expected from
the pretentions they made, but still was
above the average of travelling shows. The
OVERRIDING of the burlesque singing was
their great failure. The bell ringing was
good enough in quality, but very small in
quantity, only three or four pieces being
played during the evening. The perform,
ance on the echohorn was novelty to
most of the audience, and fully appreca-
ted. The inclemency of the weather made
the audience small, which, no doubt had its
effect upon the performance.

CAN PARIS STAND a SIEGE?


A Paris correspondent Of the Lon
don Times writes


cit is ridiculous to suppose that
Paris will ever stand asfege. To say
nothing Of the lmpossibility of pro-
visioning it for any length Of time
chow are the stores to be laid in for
two millions Of people when it took
so long to collect supplies for an army
Of 300, O,OOO9), how long do you suppose
the Parisians would endure a siege? As
soon as the enemy got near enough to
throw shell into the city there would
be panic and a clamor for surrender,
and if the authorities resisted, rev.
olution would certainly ensue."


The following remarks by French
correspondent are also significant:


"For the present no impodiment is
thrown in the way of the Government,
and every nerve isstrained to arm the
whole nation. For myself, I put trust
only in the actual soldiers that may
be sent into the field. IfOur regular
army is defeated, National Guards and
Volunteers will be Of no avail. For
the very reason that our army is con-
sidered invincible, its defeat would
create a complete panic. Who could
attempt to resist when our soldiers
have given way?"

Badness and Hair RestOra-


tIVes.


As any knowledge or experience in
connection with these subjects should
be made public at this time, I desire to
contribute, through the columns of the
GAZETTE, my mite Of information on
the subject. 1 desire to say that all
that can be done in reality is to comb
and brush the hair reasonably, and
keep the scalp perfectly clean with
soap and water.


Applications of cologne or spirits,
not too strong, are pleasant and unob-
iectionable. Bathing the head occas-
.ionally with cold water will be ad-
vantageous by its gentle reactive
stimulus, and thereby assisting to
keep the roots of the hair in a vigorous
and healthy condition.


Permitting the hair to attain only o
moderate length is another means Of
retaining a Iuxuriant crop, as where
there isan insufficient nutriment you
must not attempt to grow too much,
or all will become thin, weak and ex-
hausted


Some men find if they attempt to
cultivate a very heavy beard, that the
hair on the upper portion of the head
becomes thin, and shows signs of de.
cay, but that it revives again, as the
beard is reduced, thus showing thai
the soil is not sufficient for every.
thing.


Oils arc in any considerable quan
tity highly Objectionable; as they
soften and relax the skin, and the hail
loosens and drops out. These re,
marks are sufficient to enable all who
choose to adopt them to get and retair
all the hair their physical condition
can furnish, unless they have injured
the roots by unduIy stimulating tn
skin with "patent hair restoratives"


We all know that cold sustains anC
strengthens the hair crop; warmth
does the reverse. Then keep th
head cool.


Is there any wonder that ladies, a
present, should become alarmed at th
prospect of losing their "glOry," an
that they should ask, through the pa
pers, for information and rostoratives
As these precious hair restOratives, s.
called, are most freely applied to th
anterior portion of the head, and it
also kept the warmost, so there tn
incipient badness begins; while th
! front part, being comparatively neg
lie cted, and left out in the cold, take
! care of itself and always holds on
its hair.-[Cin. Gaz. A.

From the Columbus JOuEudis
A Political Temperance Party


The dispatches announce that Wen
dell Phillips has been nominated for
Governor of Massachusetts upon the
Prohibition ticket, and that MyrOn H.
Clark has been nominated for Cover
nor by the Temperance party of New
York. The effort to put temperance
ticket in the field we notice has failed
in some other States. While we are in
full sympathy with the temperance
movement, we cannot see that the or
ganization of a general temperance
political party is advisable. 1t can
only cause division in the Republican
party, for the temperance men who
would vote the ticket are nearly all
Republicans, and thus give power to
the Democracy, which is notorious fol
its avoidance of an "moraI' issues and
questions in politics. If there is an
anti-temperance party in the country,
that party is the Democratic. OF
course it is not so ostensibly, but it is
so in effect. The temperance men
therefore, defeat their object by tenn
perance party. We do not question
the propriety of refusing to support 6
drinking or an anti-temperance man
who may be nominated upon the Re
publican ticket, but we oppose an or
ganization which becomes so genera,
in its operations as to include a whole
State. It is claimed by the temper
ance advocates who favor a temper
ance party, that this is the only effec
tive method of compelling the ruling
party to prohibitory action, and to tht
nomination of temperance men fO
office. This is of course an extrem,
view. The way to purge the party o
intempcrate officers is to refuse to sup



port them when they are nominated
The Republican party is now probabl!
as strongly in favor of prohibition a
any general political party can be made
and where it has had the power ha
1 in many of the States enacted prohib
itory laws. The difficulty is general,
recognized to be not in the law but il
! its execution. These laws, it is ais
generally recognized, can be executor
} only where the public sentiment j
! sufficiently strong to demand it, an


certainly they will not be any bette
executed under Democratic rule. Th


New York excise law was a Republi


can measure, and under a RepubIica
police system was faithfully executed


The result was a great decrease i


crime and the suppression of on

II ever there was politician who sat In
the executive chair of the State who has
earned for himself the good will of the people,
without regard to mere party fealty or preju-
dice, it is John T. Hoffman. Although de-
voted to the interests of the democratic party,
and never, perhaps, for moment losing sight
of what he owes to that party for its recogni-
ton of his talents and the rewards 1t has con-
ferred upon him, the interests Of the people OF
the State at large have never been overlooked
by the Governor. The steadfastness with
which he has opposed his authority to all the
jobs and coalitions which have been crowded
upon him during the last two sessions OF the
Legislature, including the Arcade scheme ior
the destruction of Broadway, entities him to
the highest consideration as wise and honest
public official. No chief executive Of the State
has done 80 much to break up the paltry sys-
tenn of special legislation upon which the lobby
has been growing fat for years past and to
demoralize the Albany lobby itself as Gov
ernor Hoffman; and what greater boon could
be conferred upon the State9


The Governors vetoes of the jobs and
swindles which, by various influences, crept
through the Legislature will be long remem-
bered as models Of good judgment, legal acumen
and sound logic. He has never consigned
bill to oblivion, however small its object, with
out giving good reasons for his action-reasons
so clearly put that the friends of the rejected
bills could not demur to the decision of the
Executive Chamber. Then, Governor Hof-
man is gentleman of fine parts and presence; !;
one who adorns physically and mentally the
highest Office in the State. For these reasons
we think that Hoffman is the man for Gov
ernor in 1871. No more popular candidate
can be nominated by the party of the majority,
and few men, if any, we presume, would be
more acceptable to the people at large. Itis an
excellent rule that when we get hold of good
and faithful public officer we should not part
with him if we can help it.

THE NEWS FROM THE WEST INDIES. The


steamer which arrived here yesterday from
Havana brings us encouraging news regarding
the prospects of the early laying of the West
Indies and Panama cable, which, when COM
pleted, will unite Central and South America
with Europe. Sir Charles Bright has already
arrived at st. Thomas to superintend the laying
of the cable, the greater portion of which has
been received. Everything looks favorable,


and by the time the summer is over we may
expect to have to record another achievement
of science. The Haytiens are greatly per-
picked over the discovery Of large quantity


of counterfeit money, and loud cries are being


made for a national banking system. IF even
this will improve Haytien finances we hope the
people will succeed in their desires.

POLITICS AND RELIGION attempt was
made in the Presbyterian General Assembly
to endorse particular policy of President
Grant. The effort was unsuccessful, the
Assembly declaring that the Church had
nothing to do with politics. If the determine
ton of our Presbyterian friends be followed
out it may deprive political parsons of their
stock in trade, and even seriously affect their
income returns; but their hocks will be greatly
benefited thereby, and thousands who have
been driven from under the droppings of the
sanctuary by these false teachers will return to
the fold. 1t is fully time that political
preachers were ''played ont, and no denomi-
nation could better inaugurate the good work
than the Presbyterians.

AN UNLUcKY BLow.--The mau who knocked
another down in the street.-the other being
picked up dead--seems to get off very easily
by the verdict that the man died from apo
plexy. This apoplexy was strangely coinci-
dent, it would appear; yet, as there were nc
external marks of violence, it would be diff
cult in any way to attribute death to the blow
given. Doubtless the drunkenness predisposet
to apoplexy, and perhaps the fall had share
in the result; but the death was more due tt
the rum than to the blow 1t was another
case Of Sunday rum.

acknowledgements IDEA.-Whatever may
be said of Brother Beecher's jolly mode of
storming heaven, there can be no doubt that
his idea of Sunday, as set forth in his sermon
last Sabbath, is the genuine Christian idea
He says that it is day for rest and recrea-
ton, for walking out with the children, for
excursions to the country, for bright merri-
ment and social intercourse, for all that is
pleasant and not ungodly. He, himself, was
raised as child with the gloomy old
Puritanic idea Of Sunday-reminded of his
sins if he laughed and threatened with the
pangs of eternal punishment if he giggled
aloud--he that now sets Plymouth Church in
one wreathed smile every Sunday. He has
learned enough since arriving at mans estate
to feel that his Sunday teaching in youth was
wrong and he has the nerve and independence
to preach against such principles, even OF
the late Lyman Beecher, as he thinks
wrong. And his idea of Sunday is far prefer
able to his fathers idea of Sunday. When
we consider what mistaken Sunday training
the Plymouth pastor received in his youth,
it almost bewllders us to think what teacher
he might have become had he been trained in
the principles he now advocates.
