Save once—to Mulligan." —JVrui 1 'ark Sun. The Greenback Party ax a Factor In the Couteut. The New York Herald, in Its issue of the 27th, treats of the "Rag Baby Party”—in other words, the green back canvass for the Presidency, with Mr. Peter Cooper as the candi date. It looks upon Mr. Cooper’s candidacy, although it has been, so far.the standing jest of the campaign, as likely to rise into grave impor tance before the close. It goes fur ther than this, and declares that “a possibility has grown up that Mr. Cooper’s canvass may determine the result of the Presidential election.” This possibility is based upon the Indecisive character of the October elections. The closeness of the re sults in theßt&tes of Ohio and Indi ana has made it certain that the Presidential election will be the closest election that has taken place in the history of the Government. Third parties are powerful precisely in proportion as the regular parties approach equality. Had the October elections gone overwhelmingly in favor of one or the other of the two great parties, Mr. Cooper’s green back candidacy would not have de served notice. As it is, it is assumed to have become dangerous. The Herald supports the view by examples drawn from previous Pres idential elections in which parties were evenly divided. In 1844, when Clay and Polk were the leading can didates, James G. Birney, the nomi nee of the then small Abolitionist party, although he received only 62,- 270 votes in the whole country, turned the scale and elected Polk. The to tal popular vote for Polk was 1,335,- 834; for Clay 1,297,053. Polk’s plu rality was 38,781—about half of the Birney vote. In 1848 Lewis Cass and Gen. Taylor were the regular candidates. A third ticket was put in the field by the Free Soil party, with Van Buren audChas. Francis Adams at the head. That •ticket did not get a single Electoral vote; but its supporters virtually elected the President, their vote be ing 291,455, and Gen. Taylor’s major ity over Cass being only 109,670. , Another instance, not so strong, but still significant, occurred in the election of 1850, In that year, al though Fillmore reoeived only the eight Electoral votes of Maryland, he drew off Republicans enough in other States to defeat Fremont and elect Buchanan. These are all cases in which a small party, too weak to elect its own can didate, has drained the strength of one of the principal candidates, and so elected his opponent. The green back party, according to the Herald, will be likely to injure Mr. Tildeu’s chances in ihe pivotal State of New York. It does not say that Mr. Coop er will; receive ten or fifteen thou sand votes in the State; but it as sumes that, if he does, this will go far to decide the Presidential can vass. The greenback party is also strong and aggressive in Indiana; and rag money men, throwing away their votes on Mr. Cooper, may give that State to Mr. Hayes. We give these comments upon the intrusion into the present canvass, between two parties of nearly equal force, of a third party, for what they may be thought to be worth. Un doubtedly, the experience of past contests has attached, to otherwise insignificant political organizations, a certain deciding value in a close canvass. How far Mr. Cooper’s party may imitate its predecessors is, at present, only a matter for specula- One of the Causes ot Hard Timex. Prom * Sermon by David Swing.] Wine is not half so dangerous as lace or furniture. When a taste or foftdness for display comes in, the love of the beautiful has gone mad, and the fashionable lady is no longer a student of God’s gifts and man’s art, she has become an unstrung harp. Taste has become a passion, and instead of lighting the eye, it consumes the soul’s integrity. While a taste flows Within lawful banks it can afford to wait for honorable means for its gratification to come. The true lofty heart is long suffering, but when a taste becomes a madness, then money must come, even if it must be bought by the sale of moral ity. Great as are the evils which result from the use of strong drink, yet, could we see clearly the foun tains of human ills, we should dis cover that in the power to injure so ciety, the thirst for ardent spirits has been surpassed of late by the long ing for elegant homes and elegant furniture and so called the “ap pointments” in the fashionable tongue. It is quite probable that the “appointments” of former times, a decanter and a glass, Injured the world loss profoundly; for intem perance has often left the conscience and all the moral sentiments noble, but the love of display seems always to drag the mind and soul into ruin, leaving no sentiment in full vigor ex cept vanity. At least, this is true, that intemper ance is a known—a confessed—evil, and men have learned to be on guard; whereas this passion for display is a half-concealed enemy, hiding behind such saints as Taste and Beauty. Of the hundred cases of fraud that a year or a month reveals, not a tenth part of them spring from the old passions that once were wont to devastate.so eiety. but from anew madness the frauds spring—a hunger for home magniflcenee. The Roman republic was once compelled to pass a law for bidding the consuls from going in processions with white horses to their cars. The empire had done enough of that. The people had seen the tax lists and the wars and the bribes that came ftoro splendor, and they ordained by the law that their repub lic should make an experiment in simplicity. But the law was vain. The barbarian love of display was all through and through the people. To gratify their taste they would sack any city and strip the rings from the dying women, or gold from the altars of the gods. When Rome died it was full of fur niture and tapestry and marbles, but empty of soul. No men or women of mind and virtue had trodden its ele gant parlors for a hundred years.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel known agriculturist, Solon Robinson: . All tho farmers were of tho “well to do” sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in which deposits ot peat or muck aro stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, alter it has been exhausted of its natural fertility. It fs certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming, that wo know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in tho form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the farmer desires to cultivate. - - Colonists, Emigrants and Travelers Westward.
