THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS. vy SMITH. WIKLE & CO.] 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 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. Savannah, Ga., May Bth, 1872. 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 - graph. 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 caries’weight?” . 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 attracted attention and he soon found himself the observed of all observers. This was too much for liis modesty— he couldn’t stand it, nohow—and "go ing into a certain drug store on Whitehall, lie seated himself on a chair, hoping to escape in a measure from the admiring gaze ot the public. But alas for his hopes, the chair groaned and creaked under the pres sure, and knowing the meaning thereof, the gallant Colonel gently seated himself on the floor, and with a grunt of satisfaction ordered a bucket of soda water. Verily, he is a man of weight. A Western man was presented by a young lady with a fine plaited bo som shirt, made with an open back. He wore it hindside before for a year before he found out how it worked. On being told of his mistake, he re marked that he thought it strange i that the 'young woman should put so i much work ou the buck. 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 ORIGIN OF PLANTS. Peas are of Egyptian origin. Celery originated in Germany. The chestnut came from Italy. The onion originated in in Egypt. The nettle comes from Europe." * Tobacco is a native of Virginia. Rye originally came from Siberia. The citron is a native of Greece. The poppy originated in the East. The pine is a native of America. The mulberry originated in Persia. Oats originated in North Africa. Parseley was first known in Sar dinia. The pear and apple are from Eu rope. Spinach was first cultivated in Arabia. The sunflower was brought from Peru. The walnut and peach came from Persia. The horse-chestnut is a native of Thibet. A young man of Tremont, N.

They prevailed. A Missouri murderer, sentenced to be hanged, offers to shoot George Francis Train if the Governor will pardon him. His proposition is wor thy of consideration. .V misanthropic paragraphist says: “ The touching spectacle of a boy leading home his drunken parent was witnessed at Burlington, lowa, last week. The progress was slow, however, as the boy was considerably the drunker of tiie two.” London has thirty-five theaters, anil the thirty-sixth is in course of building.

When you find a newspaper on a ballroom floor it is not always proper to pick it up and wonder where it came from and ask unnecessary ques tions concerning the peculiarity of the fold. A young man did that not long since, and he couldn’t get another girl to dance with him during the whole evening. Accidents will happen in such a bustling throng of people as are generally congregated upon a ball room floor.

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 — •* Wc mav live without poetry, music and ai t, We may live « iihout conscience, au.t live with out heart; We may live without friends, vve may live with out books; 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. New Advertisements. X COCOA! NE > XcgSxD' ———TH K K . The Best Hair Dressing and Restorer.
