PI YTFORM OF THE I’ll ILA-
I>EU’H IA COX VEXTIOX.
Philadelphia, Pa., June G.—The
following is the platform adopted by
the Convention:
The Republican party of the United
States, assembled in National Con
vention in the city of Philadelphia,
on the sth and 6th days of June, 1872,
again declares its faith, appeals to its
history, and announces its position
upon the questions before tlie coun
try.
1. 1 luring eleven years of suprema-1
cv it lias aee(*ptwl with grand courage !
.the solemn duties of the times, it
>uppr< i a gigantic rebellion, email- '
cipated four millions of slaves, fl<*-
creed the equal citizenship of all, and ,
established universal suffrage, exhib
iting unparalleled magnanimity; it ;
criminally punished no man for j>o- j
litical offenses, and warmly welcom
ed all who proved loyalty by ohe*ying
the* laws and dealing justly with their I
neighbor; it has steadily decreased |
with a firm hand tho resultant disor
ders of a great war and initiated a !
wise and humane; jioliey towards the
Indians; the Pacific Railroad anti
similar vast enterprises have been
generally uideel and successfully con
ducted; the* public lands freely given
to actual settlers; immigration pro
tected and encouraged, and a full uti
le now lodgement of the naturalized
citizen’s right- secured from Euro
pean powers; a uniform national cur
rency has been provided; repudia
tion frowned down, the national
credit sustained under the most ex
traordinary burdens, and new bonds
negotiated at lower rates; the reve
nues have been carefully collected
and honestly applied; despite the an
nual large reductions of the rate of
taxation, the public debt lias been re
duced during General Grant's Presi
dency at the rate of 8100,000,000 a
year; great financial crises have heien
apparent, and peace and plenty pre
vail throughout the land ; menacing
foreign difficulties have been peace
fully compassed, and the honor and
power of the nation kept in high re
spect throughout the world. This
glorious record of the past is the par
ty’s best pledge for the future. We
believe the people will not intrust the
governmen to any party or combina
tion of men composed chiefly of those
who resisted every step of this bene
ficial progress.
2. Complete liberty and exact!
equality in the enjoyment of all civil,
political and public rights should be
established and effectually maintain
ed throughout the* Union by etiicient
and appropriate State and Federal
legislation. Nona or the law nor its
administration should animate any
deserimination in respect of citizens!
by reason of race, creed, color or pre-1
vious condition of servitude.
;{. The recent amendments to the
National Constitution should ho cor- j
dially sustained because they are!
right, not merely tolerated because
they are law, and should be carried j
out according to their spirit by ap-1
propriate legislation, the enforcement !
of which can safely be entrusted only
to the party that secured those amend- i
merits.
■l. The national government should
seek to maintain honorable peace
with all nations, protecting its citi
zens everywhere, and sympathizing
with all pi ople who strive for greater
liberty.
f>. Any system of the civil service
under which the subordinate posi
tions of the government are consider
ed rewards for mere party zeal, is fa
tally demoralizing, and wo therefore
favor a reform of the system by laws
which shall abolish the evils of pat
ronage, and make honesty, efficiency
and lidelit.s the essential qualifica
tions for public position with practi
cally reading a life of office.
(i. We are opposed to further grants
of the public lands to corporations and
monopolies, and demand that the
national domain he set apart for free
homes for the people.
7. The annual revenue, after pay
ing the current debt, should furnish
a material balance lor the reduction
of the principal and the revenue, ex
cept so much as may lie derived from
a tax upon tobacco and liquors be
raised by duties upon importation,
the duties of which shall he so adjust
ed as to aid in securing remunerative
wages to labor, and promote the in
dustry, prosperity and growth of the
whole country.
H. We hold undying honor to the
soldiers and sailors whoso valor saved
the Union; their pensions arc a sn
ored debt of the nation, and the wid
ows and orphans of those who died
for their country are entitled to the
care of such additional legislation as
will extend the bounty of the govern
ment to all our soldiers and sailors
who were honorably discharged and
who, in the time of duty, became
disabled, without regard to the length
of service or the cause of such dis
charge.
s*. The doctrine of Great Britain
anti other European powers concern
ing allegiance, once a subject always
a subject, having at least, through
the efforts of the Republican party,
been abandoned, and the American
idea of the individuals right to trans
fer allegiance having been accepted
by European nations it is the duty of
oitr government to guard with jeal
ous care the rights of adopted citizens
against the assumption of unauthor
ized claims by their former govern
ments, and we urge continued careful
encouragement and protection of vol
untary immigration.
10. The franking privilege ought to
he abolished, and the way prepared
for a speedy reduction in the rate of
postage.
11. Among the questions which
press for attention is that which con
cerns the relations of capital and labor,
and the Republican party recognize
the duty of so shaping legislation as
to secure full protection and the am
plest field for labor, the creator of all
capital, the largest opportunities and
a just share of mutual profits of these
two great servants of civilization.
1 ± We hold that Congress and the
TV ' sid t have only an imparative
duty . their measures for the sup
pre-.-.on of violent and treasonable
organizations in certain lately rebell
ious regions and for the protection of
the ballot-box, and that, therefore,
are entitled to the thanks of the na
tion. *
13. We denounce the repudiation of
the public debt in any form or dis
guise as a national crime; we wit ness
with pride the reduction of the prin
cipal of tiic debt and the rates of inte
rest upon the balance, and confidently
expect that our excellent national
currency will bo perfected by aspect! y
resumption of specie payments.
14. The Republican party is mind
ful of its obligations to the loyal wo- ;
men of America for their noble devo
tion to the cause of freedom, their ad
mission into wide holds of usefulness
is viewed with satisfaction, and the
honest demands of any class of per
sons, for additional rights should be
treated with respectful consideration.
15. We heartily approve the action
of Congress in extending amnesty to
those lately in rebellion, and rejoice
in the growth of peace and fraternal
feeling throughout the land.
10. The Republican party propose
to respect the rights, reserved by the
people to themselves, as carefully as
the powers delegated by them to the
State.
17. It is the duty of the General
Government to adopt such means as
will tend to encourage American
commerce and ship building.
18. \\ e believe that the modest pa
triotism, the earnest purpose, the
sound judgment, the practical wis
dom, the incorruptible integrity and
illustrious services of Ulysses S.
Grant have commended him to the
hearts of the American people, and
with him at our head we stand to-day
upon a now inarch to victory.

“THE BLIES.”
We see not why this name should
be given to a cast-down, disquieted
soul, for blue is the color of gladness.
The melancholy mind seems to be
darkened, eclipsed, dreary, and som
bre, like the shade in a Rembrandt
painting. It is strange that the men
who feel “ the Blues” deepest, and
suffer from it most, are naturally the
most joyful and humorous people.
They have a keen sense of the ludi
crous side of things, and the natural
accompaniment of this is a quick sen
sibility to sorrowful and to painful
things.
“ Tear** anil laughter closely are allied.
A u«t thin do their bouixls divide."
It is the speaker who lias power to
make you laugh who is most likely
jto cause you to cry. When the fa
mous clown, Grimaldi, asked a phy
sician, to whom he lias unknown,
what lie must do to banish the blues,
lie was told to go see Grimaldi, and
laugh and grow merry. “All, but 1
am Grimaldi!” was the clown’s sad
answer. That is the law of compen
sation, tin* swing of till l pendulum;
the higher you ascend in your joy,
th<> lower you are cast down in your |
sorrow. President Lincoln was re-j
baked by certain of his advisers for,
indulging in humorous stories while
tin* country was wrestling for its life.
It was not beconiing, they said; and
he answered that he told them to keep
off an overpowering sadness, for there j
l were times in liis life when, if any
soul in perdition felt more wretched
| than himself, lie pitied it. Perhaps :
; the reason why men of great humor
’ and excessive lightness of heart are
i saddened and oppressed by these pe
riods of gloom, is, that otherwise they
could have no proper pity or sympa- j
thy for their suffering neighbors, and
could not, indeed, understand the
dark side of human nature, for the eye
never sees so clearly as when washed
by a tear.
All our great poets have this mel
ancholy undertone. I find it in Shel
ly when lie sings:
" l >iit of the day an 1n: -lit
A joy lias taken flight-.'*
In Wordsworth:—
“ But yet I know, where’er l pro.
That there hath passed away a glory from the .
earth.”
In Tennyson:—
“The tender grace of a day that is (lead
Will never come buck to me.”
There are a number of causes which
may produce that unhappy state of
the mind called “the blues.” Ill
health will eat away the brightness
of a mail’s spirits ‘as well as the
strength of liis body; and whenever
wo receive a fresh visit from those
old acquaintances, cold and fever,
there is sure to come with them their
unpleasant shadow, “ the blues.”
They hunt in couples, this pain of the
body and gloom of the mind. No
doubt it is for this reason that Miss
Florence Nightingale urges us to
make the slck-cliamber as cheerful as
a bridal party. Flowers, pictures,
pleasant talk—anything that may
keep the mind from losing its spring
anil sinking into sadness. It is true,
also, that pain of the body disturbs
the mind, so too does it affect our re
ligious thought and feelings. Our
faith, the brightness of our hope in
heaven, our views of the success of
the gospel, would be far more inspir
itingifwe werealwavs in good health.
We think of a gloomy Christian as
one whose heart is sat on by liis stom
ach, and we imagine a bigot to he a
man whose liver is not quite right.
Loss of property, failure in business,
hard times, or the fear of these bring
on the dark day, and fill the soul with
foreboding. To fear that you are
about to lose your position in society ;
that you can no longer live in the old
style, or visit the old companions;
that ever so many people will be
pitying you or blaming you ; to im
agine all this, we say, is enough to
give any man “ the blues.”
Unrequited love is another cause
of this melancholy. There is nothing
more difficult than to bring a rejected
lover to believe the proverb, “There
are as good fish in the sea as ever wore
caught.” We laugh at the woe-be
gone appearance of a young fellow
who has all the world before him
where to choose; who has health, anil
brains, and character, aud yet will be
sighing like a furnace because some
silly girl has refused him.
It is very ridiculous—very absurd
and laughable, we say; but it is no
laughing matter to the victim.
Loss of friends is sometimes the i
cause of this sadness. To lose out of
your life one whom you saw daily, of
ten advised with, sometimes leaned
upon, and always loved, is most mel
ancholy. For a little while this de
pression is excessive, and some ten
der hearts sink under it. Yet, about
our dead we soon learn to feel restful,
satisfied. We get to see they are bet
ter off. Our selfishness is gone; we
would not have them back again ;
and we feel partly with Bhakspeare:
** I.et him pass:he lone- him
That would upon (lie rack of this tough world
Stretch him out longer."
There are sadder partings, however,
than those between the living and the
dead. As when you both live and
move and have your being here, anil
yet are no longer aught to one anoth
er. Something has come between
you—afereat gulf that neither may
pass. We think of two friends who
stand close together, as twin trees
which crown a mountain’s top, and
then the earthquake comes and cleaves
the hill in twain, and they are parted
forever.
Other and far lesser things may
bring on the gloomy day. Simple
homesickness will do it. Evil news
oi others—nay, even a week of un
pleasant weather is sufficient to affect
that delicate instrument, the mind.
Iwo news boys were standing be
fore a cigar store, when one asked the
other, “Have you got three cents?”
“Yes.” “Well, I have two cents;
give me your three cents, and I will
buy a five center.” “ All right,” says
No. 2 handing out the money. No" 1
enters the store, procures the cigar,
lights it and puffs with a great deal
of satisfaction. “Come, now, give
us a pull,” said No. 2. “ I furnished
more than half the money!” “I
know that,” said the smoker; “ but
I’m President, and you, being only a
! stockholder, you can spit.”
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 13, 187“.
THE SOFTHLRY SPEL\C.
CONTRIBUTION BY K. B. CLAGGETT.
The “ Sunny South” is most charm
ing now, in the perfect glory of its
enchanting Spring-time jubilee.
Luxuriant in the profusion of its
beautilul roses (whose red lips the
sly south wind might well lie excused
for breathing a glowing kiss upon .
Redolent with the incense exhaled
from a thousand perfumed censers,
hidden in the heart of fragrant mag
nolias. Refreshing in Nature’s ver
nal adornings, from her emerald car
pet beneath, to leafy bough above
all dressed in holiday garb of “ living
green,” such as regaled the sight of
Israel’s redeemer from the summit
of his God-hand burial place, the
green pastures and -till waters of the
the earthly Canaan smiling below,
the sweet fields of Eden’s “ Land of
Promise,” their glorious counterpart
beyond the stars.
The Southern Spring is vocal with
the morning chorus and sweet even
song of Nature’s songsters, with here
and there a rare interlude thrown in
by birding amateurs, vocalising un
written solfeggios—now a rippling
trill of purest soprano, then a deeper
contralto, sinking down in tremulous
vibrations of exquisite melody.
These vocal entertainments are fur
nished with a harmonious accompa
niment by the musical plash of the
fountain’s jel-d'eau , throwing out
their glistening drops to play “ hide
and seek” with the sunbeams, till
we wonder what merry sprite dances
with such witching grace in the
“ laughing water.”
Then the glorious eventide, when
the horizon, bending toward the set
ting sun, kindles with roseate and
amber, and we stand as on holy
ground, almost expecting to see the
“ golden gates” open anil this scene
of enchanting loveliness to slide in to
form the Millenium Eden, of which
it is the prospective emblem.
Rut the night is not left without a
witness, when the “ Southern moon”
spreads her silvery veil “soft o’er the
mountain;” lays it athwart the
bosom of the rippling waters, jewel
ing them with the sparkle of glisten
ing sheen; folds it around the rustling
boughs of leafy trees, bathing them
in a mist of mellowed brightness.
Sweet Southern night of the Spring
time! queen of illimitable shadows,
yet fringing her ebon garments with
the gold of starbeam and threading
them with the silver of moonbeam,
leaving no trace upon the sunlit
brow of the morning save her crystal
jewels, which mirror its brightness
as in the heart of each dew drop the
wooing sun seeks an answering
smile.
Thus “ day unto day uttereth
speech, and night unto night show
eth knowledge.”
Beauty is written everywhere—
whichever way we turn the same
shining letters spell out the same
matchless word. The smile of God
rests upon Nature, from her emerald
pedestal to her azure canopy, which
seems to have clasped hands in one
indissoluble link of supreme loveli
ness; while at this mysterious union
of 1 leaven and Earth, Nature’s low
breathed voices chant the mystic
ritual, as they ascend to the Author
of her matchless creation from His
inimitable handiwork; answered
above by the harmony of accor
dant spheres, in the deep symphoniet
of one majestic anthem.
So ire look up to “Our Father,”
who writes His great name in the
starry alphabet; listens to its praises
from bird minstrels, and sets its di
vine seal in Nature’s loveliness—em
bleming His sweet Paradise to us by
the thought of an eternal Bummer
Spring.

IN AN AUSTRIAN PRISON.
A Southern Swindler Plying His Trade on aa
Imperial Family—Caught and Caged.
From the New York Sun.]
A distinguished confidence man,
claiming to be an American, has been
operating in Europe, and those who
knew him here will be pleased
to learn that he has met with the suc
cess lie deserved, reaping the reward
of an industrious pnrsuit of his a voca
tion in the shape of a sentence to six
years at hard labor in an Austrian
prison. The name assumed by the
gentleman was Colonel Estvan, and
the little game at which he was
caught was an attempt to swindle the
Imperial family of Austria out of
825 000, for alleged service rendered
to the late Emperor Maximilain, of
Mexico. Ingeniously fabricated doc
umentary evidence was produced in
support of liis claim, and at first his
pretensions were accepted in Vienna
as well founded. Rut a strict scruti
ny of the evidence he offoreil demon
stated the fact that he was an impos
ter, and he was dealt with according
ly. Col. Estvan became only two
well known to the people of the South
during the late war. He made Rich
mond his headquarters, and thence
extended liis operations in various
directions, frequently representing
himself as Chief of Staff of General
Wise, and as authorized to collect
hospital and other stores for the Wise
Legion. The ladies of Wilmington,
N. C., will probably recollect him, as
they intrusted to his eare several
thousand dollars’ worth of clothing,
old wines, and other supplies for the
soldiers, which lie disposed of for his
own benefit. He also raised a sum
of money under pretense of establish
ing a sword factory. He issued a
book called “ War Pictures,” of which
he claimed the authorship, but which
was probably written by someone
else. He was well known in this
city, passing himself off here as a
confidential agent of Maximilian,
and finding plenty of people to cred
it his pretensions. It is said his real
name is Bussy, and that his original
occupation was that of a courier. It
would probably be difficult to ascer
tain in what country lie was born.
EXCOI RIGE PRINTERS.
Header, did you ever reflect what
a vast ileal of work there is to be
done in getting up a newspaper?
Every word in it has been picked up
a letter at a time. The hand that
sets the types that fills this column,
had to travel a distance of nearly
twenty miles to accomplish the task.
Then the spaces between the words
are occupied by little pieces of metal,
which have all to be placed there one
at a time. Then comes proving, cor
recting, anil lifting the types into an
iron frame, until they make a page—
all requires a large stock of time and
patience. Come aud see the progress,
anil when you are disposal to grum
ble at a paper, just reflect how much
labor it has cost, and encourage rather
than discourage the printer.
The Bankruptcy Act. — The bill
which passed the House of Represen
tatives last week, amending and re
vising the general bankruptcy act,
makes several important changes in
the existing statute. The time du
ring which bankrupts may be dis
charged upon payment of fifty per
cent, of their indebtedness is extended
until July 1, 1873. Life insurance
policies to tiie amount of five thous
and dollars, are exempt from assets
available for creditors, and all judg
ments obtained against persons or
property before petitions in bank
ruptcy arc to be filled, are to be first
and fully satisfied. One of the most
important of the new provisions is
that in reference to the appointment
of registers and minor officers in
bankruptcy, as it brings the law fully
within the provisions of the Constitu
tion, the present system of giving this
power to the Chief Justice and the
various Judges of the United States
Courts having been devised as a par
tisan expedient in Andrew Johnson’s
tirnev
ERROALOIS IDEAS OF MR. GREELEY.
The man who calls Greeley a far
ceur, or as being one who naturally
surrounds himself with that class,
makes a blunder scarcely to be sur
pass’d. Mr. Greeley may be the
cause of mirth in others, but for him
self he is grave and earnest. Further,
and although it may be bard to over
come tile prejudice upon this point,
he is a very dignified person, whose
occasional lapses into the heat of pas
sion are not more frequent and no
ticeable than those of other men.
The stupid fashion in which people
have persisted in regarding Mr. Gree
ley as a cross between a bumpkin and
a conscientious fool, almost passes
comprehension. The general idea of
him has been that of ail amiable sort
of idiot—a monstrosity in any case,
but particularly ridiculous when it is
reflected that this idiot is the editor of
the leading American newspaper, and
that he has for thirty years been a
leader in our politicos. * In the mo
notony and rigor of our public life,
Mr. Greeley’s strongly marked pecu
liarities made him a* shining mark,
which the carricaturists and comic
writers were not slow to improve.
But these people, while they have
made the unthinking laugh!! have
very often made the judicious grieve.
(ine of the greatest bludders surround
ing the popularly received idea of Mr.
Greeley is that be is an uncouth man.
Nothing could lie further from the
truth. He is, in fact, a person of
thorough and cultured manners, a
man of the world, and well used to
all the forms and observances of soci
ety. The personal characteristics of
Mr. Greeley have likewise been ab
surdly earrlcatured. Instead of being
the old slouch that he is universally
represented, he is one of the best
dressed people to be met in a day’s
walk. \Vhat lie might have been in
younger days in this respect, cannot
be affirmed; but at this time we
might just as reasonably accuse Gen.
Grant or Senator Sumner of marked
eccentricity in dress as Mr. Greeley.
We have, of course, no object in this,
other than as far as in us lies, to cor
rect reports concerning an individual
of whom it is necessary to have the
clearest ideas obtainable. It is not to
say that Mr. Greeley should be Pres
ident to deny that he iA a clodhopper
and a scarecrow.— Pit Hadelph ia TA -

HARM TO SOLVE.
A punning correspondent of the
New York Sun recently visited a fe
male seminary, and here is his ac
count of it:
The boss school master showed me
round, and the sweetest lot of lasses
I ever saw were those lasses. They
eat lasses candy. It was like looking
at a great big patch of ripe strawber
ries, all of ’em sweet, but here and
there one of ’em a little bigger than
the rest, and somehow 1 liked the
biggest ones best. I told the boss
that I didn’t think this could be a
good school.
Says he: “Why?”
Said I: There are too many misses
here for correct lessons.”
Then he called up a lovely girl in
green merino, with a yellow silk
string around her neck, and she
stepped up to a nice clean black
board anil took a piece of chalk and
daubed it all up. Then the boss
exclaimed: “What do vou think of
that?”
I told him that any fool could
make white marks on a black board
with a piece of chalk. “Give her a
piece of charcoal,” says I, “and if
she makes them "white marks
with that, then she will be smart.”
Then he said it was from memory.
“ No!” said TANARUS, “ you don’t say that
is from memory; what in thunder is
the thing anyhow?” It looked like
a specimen of Kalsomining.
“ Why,” said he, “ that is the map
of Asia.”
“ Drawn by a minor,” said I; “ that j
makes it Asia Minor.”
Then he asked me what I took it
for, anil I told him I took it for a
skating pond. That ended the
geography exercises, and we went to
matnemathics. The boss told me to
give him a problem to solve. 1 did,
and 1 don’t think they have solved
it yet. I got up and said:
“ My dear young ladies, I propose
to you the following problem, and
I’ll give to you ten minutes to stick
your fingers in your ears and rock to
and fro to solve it: “If it takes one
hundred years for a hard shell clam
to hop one mile on one foot, avoirilu
poise measure, how long will it take
a locomotive going forty miles an
hour to reach its destination, apothe

ROFGH BICE ON COL. CTON—A CHAP
TER OF ACCIDENTS.
On Monday last, during the annual
parade of the Atlanta Fire Depart
ment, the heavy man of the Consti
tution broke down under the heat of
the sun whilst pluckily endeavoring
to keep up with the brass bands in
the procession. His elephantine
proportions secured him the right-of
way through the crowd of juvenile
spectators. Ye Local followed in his
wake to enjoy the protecting shade
his colossal form afforded, and to note :
the incidents of the day. Our atten
tion was first called from the proces
sion of gallant firemen in the middle j
of the street, to the moving moun- 1
tain of flesh in front of us, by hear
ing a cry, a sort of half yelp and
squeak. We saw a dark spot on the ;
pavement, which, on examination,
proved to be the remains of a small j
dog. The colossus had stepped on
him! Only a tip of his tail and the j
two hind feet betrayed the fact that i
it hail once been a purp. We shud
dered at the evidence of his tramp,
anil inwardly resolved to keep to the
outer edge of his shadow and note
incidents and accidents. But the.
tact of that purp weighed heavily on
our mind—that despairing squeak
still rang in our ears. The colossus,
however, didn’t seem to even know
that anything had happened.
Going up Whitehall street, my
Falstaftian shadow-maker concluded
to rest and at the same time keep
up with the procession. He signalled
a street car driver, who shook his
head doubtfully and halted. The
Colonel stepped upon the rear plat
form, anil up went the other end of
the car, to an angle of about 45 de
grees, pitching the driver clear over
the heads of his horses, and making
a jam of the passengers at the rear
end. The polite conductor swore in
Hindostan and scrambled out with
monkey-like agility, some of the la
dies also showed their agility—to the
infinite amusement of gaping specta
tors. Seeing how matters stood, the
modest Colonel, blushing like a miss
of sixteen summers, deserted the car
and took to terra firma once more.
But the incident of the street ear had

This was too much for liis modesty—

But alas for his hopes, the chair

thereof, the gallant Colonel gently

THE SALE OF THE FIRST BARREL OF
FLOI U.
The Ht. Louis Dispatch, in noticing
the sale of the first barrel of flour of
the season, sent to that city by Messrs.
Stovall & Hull, says the flour was or
dered to he sold on “ 'Change” and
the amount of the proceeds given to
the fund for premiums on the best
cotton shown at tlieir next fair. It
says:
“ The flour was directed to S. 11.
Richardson A- Cos., and by them plac
ed on exhibition at the Merchants’
Exchange. The head of the barrel
bore these words: ‘Stovall’s Excel
sior Mills; Extra Fancy Flour; Pride
of Augusta; Made from Choice
White Wheat expressly for Family
Use ; 196 —Georgia.’
“The barrel attracted considerable
attention and was sampled by all the
flour merchants, who pronounced it
first-class. At 12 o’clock George
Biain called the attention of the mer
chants assembled to the flour anil pro
ceded to take bids.
“The first bid was from Henry
Overstoltz, 820. This was followed
by a bid of 827 from ( apt. Dozier, and
a bid of SSO from Mr. Garneau.
Messrs. Garneau and Dozier kept
bidding against each other, $5 a pop,
till Garneau had bid $75. Then Mr.
Molmes, the well known baker, came
to the top with a bid of $75, quickly
followed by a bid of SIOO from Gar
neau. Holmes saw him and went 850
better. This bid staggered Garneau
and he tried to back out, When Bain
called him back with the remark,
‘Come, Garneau, don’t let Holmes
beat you in that style!’ Garneau hes
itated a moment, "and then bid $l6O.
Holmes bid S2OO instantly, and was
followed by Garneau with a bid of
$250. Holmes stepped back and Jo
seph Garneau was left in possession
of 196 pounds of flour, for which he
will pay $2.50.”
The flour, we learn, was baked imo
bread and presented to the members
of the Agricultural Congress, which
assembled in (St. Louis.
In the Golden Age Theodore Tilton
thus asks the people to “shake
hands” across the bloody chasm be
tween the North and South : “We
believe in Providential opportuni
ties. One such is before us. Not to
seize it is to lose it. The South, at
this hour, is full of unexampled good
will to the North. Will the Demo
cratic party, therefore, take the South
by one hand, the North by the other,
and perform the priestly office of
uniting the twain in one? In other
words, will Baltimore second Cin
cinnati? The question is momen
tous, for on its settlement the future
destiny of this nation depends. We
can have what Daniel Webster called
‘ one country, one constitution, one
destiny’—provided only the Northern
Democrats are actuated by that spir
it of oneness. The reign of the
sword can be ended, and the reign of
of law begin—provided only Balti
more says the word. State Rights
can be restored, and Federal usurpa
tions driven back out of every State
of the Union—provided only Balti
more decrees. Nepotism can be ban
ished to the limbo of exercrable
memories—provided only Baltimore
renders no second-hand help to the
nepotist. Local self-government can
be reenacted in all the South —pro-
vided only Baltimore shall join in
the Cincinnati demonstration against
tiie Federal centralist. President
Grant can be defeated, and Horace
Greeley elected —provided only Bal
timore shows its iron gauntlet to the
one, its open palm to the other. The
Nation’s future hangs in the unbal
anced scale of to-day. We await the
verdict with the anxiety which
broods and muses in advance over
fate’s unknown decree.

THE Al.UlUl.il UAL CONGRESS,
Which met in St. Louis, on the SOtli
ult., adopted the following
REPORT OX FERTILIZERS,
which was presented by Mr. Fontaine
of Bartow county, Ga.:
Mr. Fontaine of Georgia submitted
a preamble and resolution on the sub
ject of fertilizing. Tiie preamble re
cites that the annual outlay for fertil
izing is $2-7,000,000, and that great
complaint is made among acricultu
rists throughout the world whereever
fertilizers or chemical fertilizers are
used, of great frauds—that Great Bri
tain, Germany and some of the States
have enacted certain laws in order to
protect farmers, and that societies in
different counties had found it neces
sary to co-operate for mutual protec
tion. It is therefore recommended
that each county society represented
in this congress or hereafter to he ad
mitted, shall, through its secretary,
inform the secretary of the congress
approximate statements giving the
amount of fertilizers used, tlieir mon
ey values, kinds used, and cost of
transportation, with the distance
transported:
Resolved that the congress of the
United States, which has so liberally
protected the manufacturing interests
of the country, be memorialized to aid
the agriculture of the United States
by admitting free of duty the follow
ing chemicals which we think con
tain all the great essentials of plant
food, to the end that the manufacture
of fertilizers he cheapened and agri
cultural interest proportionately ben
efitted : nitrate of potash, nitrate so
da, salt, gypsum, sulphate of ammo
nia, German salts of potash, or potash
in any form, and sulphuric acid.
The report was adopted.
DOES IT PAY TO KEEP BEES.
1 have often been asked the ques
tion, does it pay to keep bees, or is it
safe to invest money in an apiary? i
have always answered the question
by saying that it does pay, and it is
safe to invest money in them, if the
party investing thoroughly under
stands their nature and habits, and is
willing to give them the proper
amount of care, anil provide them
with suitable hives. I now propose
giving a short account of my success
in bee-keeping. Some fifteen years
ago I purchased two colonies, not
with the intention of making money
out of them, but for the purpose of
providing myself and family with a
luxury in the shape of nice, pure
white honey. I soon became con
vinced that by proper management
they could be "made to yield a profit,
besides supplying my table with a
wholesome luxury. But as there
were at that time no movable comb
hives, I hail to labor under a consid
erable disadvantage as well as loss.
Very often some hives would refuse
to swarm until the season for col lect
ing honey was nearly over, conse
quently the young swarms could not
gather enough to winter on, and not
having the movable comb hives, so
that I could build them up from those
that had plenty and some to spare, I
had to destroy them, which was a loss.
Then again, other hives would refuse
to swarm altogether, which of course
was a loss of ail increase from such
hives. Again, some colonies would
swarm, and the young swarm would
take a bee-line for the woods, other
hives would get infested with millers
and worms, which would sooner or
later destroy them, but after all the
losses 1 made a fair profit by selling
honey and occasionally a hive of bees.
But since the introduction of the mo
vable comb hives and Italian bees, 1
have made double the profit, for there
lias been no loss of young swarms go
ing to the woods or of colonies refus
ing to swarm, for I have practiced ar
tificial swarming, which does away
with all loss in that direction. If
millers get into a colony I remove the
cards anil clean them out, and save
my stock. I also remove cards from
full stocks that have them to spare,
and strengthen the weak ones, instead
of destroying them, as heretofore.
The Italian bees defend themselves
much better from the millers, and are
better workers; consequently they
store-more honey in boxes for their
owners. I commenced in the spring
of 1867 with twelve Italian stocks,
worth at that time about S2OO. I sold
the increase of stock for SSOO, and du
ring the two years I realized S4OO in
wax, honey, and Queens soid, allow
ing S2OO for cost of hives and time in
attending to them (which will more
than cover it), leaves S7OO or $350
profit each year, not a bad interest on
8200 invested for two years. A word
to parties intending to start an apiary:
Get, if possible, a location where
white clover is plenty, or better yet,
induce your neighbors to sow Alsi/cc
clover, which is one of the most profi
table crops a farmer can grow, either
for seed or hay, or for both, and for
bees it is ahead of anything 1 ever
saw. Provide yourself with good
movable comb hives and the Italian
bees. An apiary started with such
advantages and with proper attention,
1 am satisfied, will prove a profitable
investment. — Cor. Rural American.
(HR KEN CHOLERA.
The Stock Journal publishes the
following as an infallible remedy
against this the greatest enemy of the
chicken;
Take fat bacon and cut in pills the
size of a marble, roll in dry corn meal,
and give about three or four of the
fat bacon pills; take ground ginger
and make into dough, and three or
four ginger pills—then the fat bacon
pills, and the ginger, until you think
the fowl has had enough. Do this
two or three days and keep them
from water, (you can give water, but
not too much.) I will guarantee that
this will cure, as I have cured some
of the worst cases. Notice the chick
ens in the morning when they are
fed, and if they do not eat the disease
iscomingon; then commence feeding
as per above recipe.
ANOTHER.
Give three or four tea-spoonfuls of
strong alum-water to any fowl noticed
to be drooping, and repeat the dose
the sixth day. Also mix strong
alum-water with the feed for two or
three days, and then once a week af
terward." Take a table-spoonful of
finely pulverized alum, make a thin
paste by mixing this with flour and
water, and force the fowl to swallow
some of the mixture. Also mix alum
with their feed once a day.
Danger from Wet Clothes.—
Few persons understand fully the
reason why wet clothes exert such a
chilling influence. It is simply this:
Water, when it evaporates, carries off
an enormous amount of heat, in what
is called the latent form. One pound
of water in vapor contains as much
heat as nine or ten pounds of liquid
water, and all this heat must, of course
be taken from tiie body. If our
clothes are moistened with three
pounds of water: that is, if, by wet
ting, they are rendered three pounds
heavier, these three pounds will, in
drying, carry off as. much heat as
would raise three gallons of ice-cold
water to the boiling point. No won
der that damp clothes chills us,— Han-"
dicraft.
A woman applied to a magistrate
the other day for a warrant against a
neighbor, saying:
“ She called me a thief, your honor.
Can’t I make her prove it?”
“ Perhaps you can,” quietly replied
the magistrate, “ hut if I wore vou I
WWA.dn’t do it.”
GOOD COOKING.
In this busy age few persons stop
to consider the importance of good
cooking. All fed tne want of it, and
growl and complain. The health,
the happiness, the amiability of a
family, depend on the cooking. Can
a tins!, hungry man sit down to eat
sour bread, charcoal steak, drowned
potatoes, and not growl, and in liis
soul curse the ignorant cook, and feel
savage towards the wife who, dressed
in the mode, spends her time over
the piano, or making calls, before she
visits her cook and starts her on the
right beginning. How refreshing is
a good breakfast—how miserable to
drink coffee boiling to gall or faint
ing for strength. The art of cooking
ought to be practically learned by the
daughters—then they are able to in
struct the hired cook when they mar
ry. The human stomach cannot di
gest raw flesh or vegetables; the food
necessary to sustain our existence
must he cooked—if not well cooked
disease will surely attack us. 1 be
lieve good cooking, and moderation
in quantity eaten, will lengthen life.
Many incurable diseases are to he
traced to had cooking. If the hus
band is an exception, lie will not al
lude to his mother’s good cooking, if
his young wif§ does not always suc
ceed, but encourage her attempts. She
must never forget that —

We may live « iihout conscience, au.t live with

Rut, civilized man cannot live without coots.”
HOW TO COCK BEETS.
Beets are very nice cooked in the
following manner:
(Slice cooked beets quite thin, put
in a sauce-pan with some vinegar,
water and a piece of butter, with su
gar enough to make palatable. Any
rule is impossible. Taste it, and if
any ingredient is lacking, add more
of it; salt a very little, and pepper;
thicken the whole slightly; serve hot.
Beets may be skinned much easier
by rubbing over with a cloth imme
diately in taking them from the wa
ter in which they are cooked, than
by using a knife and a fork.
Vegetable Soup.—Peel and slice
six onions, six tomatoes, six carrots
and six turnips, (the number to he in
creased or diminished acci>n ling to the
size of the family.) Fry them in half
a pound of butter, and pour on them
four quarts of boiling water. Toast a
piece of light bread as brown and as
hard as possible, but do not burn it.
Put that, some celery, sweet herbs,
white pepper and salt to the above.
Stew the whole gently for four hours,
then strain through a coarse cloth.
Have ready sliced tomatoes, celery
and a little turnip and stew till ten
der in the soup. This will be found
to be a delicious soup for summer.
Honey Soap.—Cut thin two
pounds yellow soap into a double
saucepan, stirring it until it is melted
which it will be in a few minutes if
the water is kept boiling around it;
then add a quarter of a pound of olive
oil, a quarter of a pound of honey, five
cents worth of oil of cinnamon; boil
all together ten minutes, pour it out
aud stand it by until the day; it is
then fit for use. Made by these di
rections it is a very superior soap.
To keep Milk and Cream.—ln
very warm weather when it is very
difficult to preserve milk from becom
ing sour and spoiling the cream, it
may be kept perfectly sweet by scald
ing tiie new milk very gently with
out boiling, and putting it away in the
earthen pan or ilish in which it has
been scalded. This method is adopt
ed iu all the large dairies in England,
and, particularly, in Devonshire.
Cream already skimmed may he kept
quite sweet for twenty-four hours if
scalded, but if as much powdered loaf
sugar be added as will sweeten it, and
then scalded, it will keep in a cool
place for upward of two days.— Ex.
THE ORCHARD.
Mulch heavily all newly-planted
trees to protect their roots from the
broiling heat of the sun. This is the
best possible time to prune fruit trees.
Wounds from the knife anil pruning
scissors heal more quickly now than
at any other time. If the blight ap
pears among the pear trees, as is fre
quently the case at this time, ampu
tate the blighted limb at once, and you
may thus arrest the disease. Where
the trees are heavily laden with fruit,
remove the half of it at least without
any compunction. The other half
will be vastly improved and will be
as much as the tree can mature per
fectly. Do not hesitate to do this if
you wish to have a good orchard.
DON’T SLIGHT THE FARMERS.
Everybody knows that those pub
lishers who devote most space to ag
ricultural matters are by far the most
successful, whether they be of the
“ country paper” or the more preten
tious metropolitan journals.
Everybody knows that the majority
of the country papers receive their
best support from country subscribers.
Everybody knows too that the con
stant harping upon political topics
becomes stale reading to everybody
but the aspiring office seeker, and for
tunately for the country they are still
in the minority.
These being self-evident facts, it
would seem good business policy to
cater to the pleasure of the majority,
and when, too, the publication, by so ]
doing, would exert some influence
for the material improvement of its
locality.
But here lies the trouble. We fear
that the majority of those who con
duct newspapers are incompetent to
treat, intelligently, upon agricultural
topics. They can blaze away at ran
dom in the field of politics, obtaining j
as much credit for their erudition I
when their predictions are as fault as J
when they chance to make a centre j
shot.
They dare not risk their reputation
lie fore the farmers, even though the
popular notion is that they are the
unsophisticated class, by dealing with
topics which require more knowledge
than the books alone afford.
It would bd well for the country if
the present policy could be reversed,
i. e., if the agricultural and industrial
topics were made the leading ones,
and the office-hunting and office-hold
ing interests lie sent to the rear.
“Servants of the people,” the politi
cians occupy the front seats and pros
titute to their special use, all of the
agencies which should he employed
to a better purpose.
Publishers, don’t slight the farmers
if you would realize the acme of pros
perity. They are waking up and
moving to the front. Those who are
first to appreciate their advancement
and assist in it will he the favored
ones of fortune. —American Farmers
Advocate.
To Prevent Jumping.—-You have
seen it stated in a dozen papers that
clipping the lower eyelashes of cattle
would prevent their jumping. Tell
your readers of a better plan. With
a sharp needle run a small twine
through the ears and tie them back
of the head. The animal will not
jump, unless forced to do so. Horses
and cows invariably throw their ears
forward before they jump. They
would know what is on “the other
side of the fence.”— Southern Argus.
Fish Culture.—There is no pursuit
that, under ordinarily favorable cir
cumstances, pays better than fish cul
ture. An acre of water stocked with
fish, is far more valuable than an acre
of land in any ordinary crop.
Examine your fruit trees, and kill
all caterpillars and injurious insects
that may infest them. Thin out fruit
if necessary, as it generally is. Re
move all useless shouts from your
viues.
