PATENT DREAD.
BT J. J. ROBERTS.
Common bread at nine days old, is
dry stuff, very. Crusty as an old
batchelor or common scold, if you Lite
it the windows will rattle. Many per
sons regard rny subject as more stale
than nine times told, as quite too dry
for literary food, and, he who tries to
entertain people with it, as either sense
less or plucky, perhaps both. .
Speaking: of bread, inclines me to
give some account of what I call patent
bread; not to say that it has letters
patent, tut that it pays royalty to
excise. Patent bread is not a dry
thing, however drily it may be treated,
for it is a liquid; but none tha less
bread, for men have experimentally
proved it to be, not only food, but also
drink and lodging. They also use it
for a panacea for the various ills, acci
dents, and inconveniences to which
flesh is heir, for a cover to pandora's
box. Some who walk in the old naths.
and glory in the "good creature," re
gard its use as necessary, and its trafic
as honorable, regard it good for any
thing; but others whose inventions
innovate on the customs of the fathers,
regard the liquid as a snare, and teach
that its use is evil, and its trafic illegal,
teach that it is good for nothing. The
doiDgs and sayings of some of the fa
thers show their ideas of liquid bread.
They hare been known, after barter
tog for breadstuff, solid and liquid, and
rinding a balance in their favor, to
take that balance in the liquid, simply
remarking that ,4tbe extract will go fur
th r than the flout."
TLis food, whn swnllowed, lias the
property o: " setting the chimney on
fire," and when partaken of heartily
of inducing the influence of the spirits,
dmons:iating the philosophy and prac
tice of spirit-rappings, so thnt the
whole thing is according to the theory
of patent bread, sufficiently known,
having evolved more substantial reve
latious tl nn tkose cf furniture dancing
by animal magnetism and jargon with
the jnknown.
Ihi? Iread changes the condition
and appearance of tue person using it.
After swallowing his repast he expe
rienees in some instances an agreeable
transition fro n plelean to prince, from
common ignorance to uncommon wis
dom ; and he feels able and willing to
manage both Church and State, but
appearances indicate that to manage
both feet is quite another question, for
when he acts you cannct till whether
he designed to put them into his boots
or hat, njr whether he designed they
should go whea he did, nor come af
terwards ; ' for often he pushes the body
headlong, leaving feet in the rear to
take care of themselves. His face has
as much expression as a lump of putty,
and you cannot tell whether he de
signed to laugh, sing or whistle, not
whether be talks because he thinks, or
thinks because he talks; but one thing
is certain, he is an old politician, for
whatever he does are signs of a kn jw-
notbiog. In some instances the trans
ition is so great that the person seems
to pass from the pressure of all exter
nal circumstances into the sublime
heaven of the Budhist. " '
When habitually used it . has the
property - or ornamenting the users
premises with weeds and old hats, of
blessing his lady relations with the
grace of humility and the beauty of
blushes, of conferring upon his depend
ants the blias of ignorance and a great
er abundance of rags than bankeis
give to com merce, and of leveling
all distinctions to a democratic status
It will ornament his own clothes with
a scarry appearance, his walk with' a
slouch, his voi.-e with a croak, Lis eye
with a rye beard, h:s nose with a bios
eom, and finally his boots with snakes
inside, h's muscles with dance more
fantastic than the poika, and his imag
ination with'Vublime and awful tragedy.
This patent stun having such a
variety of properties is variously
known. Its generic names are few,
its specific are legion. AmoDg its sig
nificant and appropriate names may be
mentioned sling, punch, blackstrap,
bitters, red-eye, emptyings, striped
pig, spirit-rapper, bricks, crackers, and
last we mention patent bread.
This bread is made from different
kinds of grain, according to conveni
ence, but rye is preferable. After th
grain is ground, it is mixed, bran and
all, thinrer even than latter, and then
allowed to stand until, rotting, it gene
rates another substance, whh ' ensists
of only a small portion of the -ngina
mass, and wh ch is extracted by a pe
culiar process of steaming it The ex
tract is then rectified, after which it is
patent bread, ready for consumption
The larger portion of the original
mass severs to swell the importance of
that species of Arab dev ls oF which
two thousand " ran violently down a
steep place int the sea."
They who make this stuff3 require
shop and machinery for this purpose,
as especially as the baker does for
making crackers. Ineir building is
without form or comeliness that men
should desire it, and as a nuisance
stands aside. From it issue stench,
vapor and smoke, and horid discords of
geer, grinding, and swinish wailing
and gnashing of teeth. The oper
atives, usually as morally far irom
civilization as the building is locally.
creating around them fire, steam and
poison, stalking in stench clouds, and
feeding the worm that ' biteth like a
serpent, and stiugeth like an adder,"
are imps at home, and the whole con
cern is Satan's sanctum.
They who sell it are honorable men,
gentlemen of suavity and leisure, of
cloth and equippage, in polite and use
ful business, who mingle their cups
with tears, blood and damnation. As
the word is true, the reward of their
hands shall be given them."
They who legalize it ought to obey
the higher law, or " drink of the wine
of the wrath of God."
The World is asking: '-Shall
the negroes elect the next President?''
If the whites of the South do their
duty in reconstruction, their States
will be controlled by their superior in
telligence. If they continue sullenly
disloyal, they will abandon that control
to those who mean to maintain the
Union. But it is simply absurd to talk
of four millions electing a President
for thirty millions of people. The ne
groes are not so smart as to counter
balance that inequality of numbers.
The World and its echoes seem to fear
they will be equal to even that work.
Forgot His Name The Demo
cratic style of voting is well illustrated
in the following: On electiou day, an
Irishman presented himself in a cen
tral district of this city, and desired
leave to deposit a vote. " What name?'
asked the inspector. 'iMichel Mur
ray, sir," replied the would-be voter.
"Micheal Murray? no such name on
the list," called the inspector, adding,
"There's a Micheal Murphy.'- "Hould
on, gintlemen; bould on gintlemen!"
exclaimed the excited Irishman.
"Hould on," continued he as he pulled
a pieca of paper from his pocket, and
proceeded to read. -'Sure, it t
Micheal Murphy, instid of Micheal
Murray?" Of course, this man, who
had torgotten bis instructions did net
vote. vV. Y. Tribune.
Military Greeting A pleasant
episode occurred a the Tremont House
in Chicago, during General Sheidan s
recent visit to that chy. On the break
ing out of the war. General Augur was
the Captain, Colonel McFeely was the
First Leiutenant and Major General
Sherid&n was the Second . Leiutenant
of a company in an Oregon regiment:
On that occasion they met for the first
time since they were separated by pro
motion. Major General Sheridan and
Major General Terry also met for the
first time. ; ' ' ': " . :

"There is no Union as our fathers
understood the term."
There is no President as the world
understands the office
'It is a melancholy fact that the
States are not restored,"
It is a melancholy fact that they
seceded, and that, encouraged by an
usurping Executive, they have continu
ed obstinately rebellious and rejected
erery compromise.
"to me the process ot restoration
seems perfectly plain and simple."
The decree of a Dictator is certainly
a very simple fact. Napoleon wonders
that the people do Lot undersatnd him
"The mere naked will of this gov
ernment, or or one or more of its
branches, is the only obstacle to a per
fect Union."
The naked will of the Executive,
one of the branches of the government,
making common cause with the traitors,
has prevented reconstruction on a loyaj
basis, and constitutes to-day the "only
obstacle to a perfect Union "
'Usurpation is the most dangerous
of political crime."
Out of thine own mouth thou art con
demned.
The acts of Congress confound all to
gether in one common doom indiscrim
inately ."
The acts of the President discrimin
ate between the loyal and disloyal,
admitting the latter indiscriminate to
he franchise, conferring upon them a
monoply of political power, and at the
same time disfranchising the loyal men
nd stripping them of all political rights.
"It is tbe curse of despotism that it
has no halting place."
It is the blessing of a republican
government, and cf an honest Congress
that a halting place has been provided
or a usurper in his career.
"It is manifestly and avowediy the
bject of the reconstruction laws to
confer upon negroes the privilege of
voting, and to disfranchise such citizens
will gi o i bo former d.r majority
at all elections in the Southern Sthtes."
It is manifestly and avowedly no
uch thing. The object of the recon
struction laws is to secure equal justice
to all men.
'It is proposed that the black race
shall rule the white race that the
uture destiny ef the country be placed
n their hands negro denomination
would be worse than military despotism
subjection to the negro race will
degrade the people of the South."
It is a sad thing to see the Executive
of a great nation, for the sake of a
dirty partisanship, so falsify fact?, and
in a great crisis in our history, encour
age a war of races. There can hard
ly be a greater degradation to the re
bels of the South than their own cow
ardice in refusing to exercise tbe high
est attribute of their citizenship, the
ballot. It is proposed now that slave
ry is abolished, that the white man
shall not be a slaveholder, that the
freedman shall have a voice in the
choice of their rulers, and that the des
tiny of the South be placed in the
hands of men of both races on terms
of political equality.
"In all Northern States the people
still hold in their hands the sacred right
the ballot."
So do "the people in the- Southern
States under the reconstruction law,
though the rebels refuse to exercise it.
"The negroes are taught that every
white man who has any respect for
the rights of bis own race is their
enemy."
The ' President teaches white men
that distinction of race and class are
natural, inevetible, desirable, and must
be maintained, however opposed it may
be to ihe theory of our government. -Chicago

DEMOCRATIC OUACiGIVG
The Democratic newspapers of ihe
country seem not able to contain them
selves over their partial success in ihe
recent elections. They recur to it
again and again doing tremendous
trade in tbe game of brag on a very
small amount of cash capital. One of
these sheets, the Alton Democrat, hails
the election as an emphatic repudiation
of the Congressional plan of reconstruc
tion, declaring that "the wrath of the
sluggish North has overwhelmed the
party which inauguarated it beneath an
avalanche of popular retribution," etc,
This kind of talk may be very accepta
ble to the readers of Democratic news
papers, but then tbe "repudiation" and
"retribution" referred to come to be
sittea aown it will be tounu that it is
the sheerest nonsense in the world. In
spite of the Democrats "avalanche," it
appears that
"Of the twenty-seven States now in
the Union nineteen have Republican
State Governments Governor and
Legislature four, viz: New York,
New Jersey, Ohio and Conneticut, are
divided between the two parties, and
only four are Democratic, viz: Dela
ware, Maryland, Kentucky and Cali
fornia. Of these, the only Northern
State is California, and there we were
beaten by a split iu the Republican
party, and - by local - issues. Of the
divided States the Republicans have
both Houses of the Legislature of Con
necticut by a majorty of one in the
Senate and thirty-five in the House,
making thirty-six on joint ballott. In
New York we have the Governor, and
a majority of six in the Senate; in New
Jersey we have the Governor (and
Camden & Amboy. has the rest), and
n Ohio we have the Governor, with
he prospect of being reinforced by
the election of Valandigham to the
United States Senate. In Congress
our majority is equally comfortable and
satisfactory.
This does not look as though the
Republican party were as yet "over
whelmed" not much. But' "on the
contrary quite the reverse-" Indeed it
s a well known tact that among the
people the Republican party has a
reserve, which was not called out in the
recent fall engagements, sufficient at
the Presidential election to carry any
Northern State, except Maryland and
Kentucky. We can give the Demo
cratic party two or three of our heavi
est States, and still thrash them on the
great national issue and candidates.
In "the ten rebel States now being
reconstructed we believe the Republican
party can afford to make a very liberal
extension of the right of suffrage to the
classes of rebels now disfranchised, and
6till carry more than half of the South
ern States.
Democratic bragging over the recent
elections will not save that party at the
next November contest. Exchange-

ESfThis must be the platform of
the Republican party.
1, Not a dollar of tax beyond the
necessities of the nation; to wit; the
unavoidable expenses of government
and the annual interests upon the public
debt.
2, Not a dollar of expenditure upon
any object that can be made to wait
until the country is in better circum
stances. 2, The fewest possible articles to be
taxed and no tax except for revenue.
4. Every tax to be collected in full
or not levied at all.
6, Fair saleries for every office, and
no fees or perquisites that do not go to
the government treasury.
Upon this platform of rigid economy,
carefulness and integrity, holding the
straight course of its legitimate political
principles and allowing no straying in
to side issues and theroetical enter,
prises, the Republican party can regain
all it has lost, with more besides, and
establish ivsolf .permanently as the
controling party of the nation.' Refus
ing to take it, we doubt if Grant and
his generals combined cru'd save it
from a rpetition of defeat next year.

JfQTlt has been remarked that the
word "its" does not occur in common
English version of the Bible, but a
careful observer shows that it does oc

"That which groweth of its own ac
cord," etc. It is possible that this was
an officious alteration by the printer in
one of tbe first editions. The word
was coming into use, at tbe time of
translation, but seems not to have been
recognized as good English.

STorriN a Newspaper. Some
people seem to think that their sub
scription to a newspaper obligates the
editor to advocate their own peculiar
views on all questions which affect the
public, forgetting that an editor should'
be an independent being, honest
enough to give his opinions, and let his
readers judge of what they are worth.
To those who are so ready to send
word, "Stop my Paper," because the
editor expresses his honest opinion,
formed after careful research and ma
ture deliberation, we commend tb? fol
lowing little story:
A certain man hit his toe against a
pebble and fell headlong to the ground.
He was vexed, and, under the influ
ence of anger and self sufficiency, he
kicked mother earth right saucily.
With imperturable gravity, he looked
to see the earth itself dissolve and
come to naught. But the earth remain
ed, and only his poor, foot was injured
in the encounter.
This is the way of man. An arti
cle in a newspaper touches him in a
weak spot, and straightway he serds
to "Stop his paper!" With great self
complacency he looks to see the crash
when the object of his spleen shall
cease to be. Poor fool, he has only
hit his own toe against a world that
dots not perceptibly feel the shock, and
injures to a slight extent none but him
self. ' -
Domestic Intelligence. Tha

Weedsport, that my wife left town on.
Wednesday, for the purpose of visiting

that she went with the full csnsem and
approbation of her husband; that so far
as heard from, she was anaccompaoied "
by gentlemen, though it is probable she
will meet two or three, or more, during
her absence; that she expects to be ab
sent about one week, and that during
that timo thcr will be two females at
my house. I make thi3 announcement
thuspublicly, to save ihe wear and tear
of shoe, leather and tongues, to say
nothing of conscience, on the part of
the gossips and EcindaJ mongers who
had so much distress lately over the af
fairs of my hoiiseho'd. I would further
stale that any additional information in
regard to my family affairs will at times
be furnished to said gossips by myself
and the members of the household, if
they will call at any time between 6 a.
m. and 10 p. m. The balance of ray
time, when not professionally employed, -I
desire to devote to sleep, uudisterbed

Copy and fully indorse the fo'lowiog
sensible remarks, from the Jamestowr,
(N. Y.) Journal of recent date: "In a -general
ense, the effort on tbe part of
any merchant to get trade without ad
vertising is a wrong to other business "
men in the place. Whether a man
believe in advertising or not, ho will
coincide that the newspapers are ' a
great help to the place, and that busi
ness . amounts to very little in plates
that don't support on J or more of them.
Absence of newspapers is a bad sign
for a place, in a business point of view,
as absence of churchs is in morals, of
school houses in education. The men '
who support the village paper do more
to build up the place, and make it pros
perous, and draw trade there,' than all
other influences combined. Therefore,
the man who tries to cjme in end. take
the benefits of that prosperity without
contributing to rustain it, tries to 'dead
head' on the rest of the business men,
and does them wrong.
