Vmler. "Which Iiln.T? O leople!
It does not yet ai'iK'tir upon what line
tho democracy of N'ebvaska intend to
fi-jht it out this full. True, there are
but county oifi er.s to elect, and in many
of the counties it may n t bo ;ul visible to
nrjranize and run democratic tickets.
In others where the "tarty is in a major
ity, or nearly .so, organizations- will be
perfected and candidates run upon
deui(x-ratic platforms."
Now, the question may well be asked
what shall be those platforms shall
they be all alike, or shall each county
draw its own line, and declare that it is
that of the "ancient democracy, and
whoso disbelieves therein shall be cast
into the outer darkness of radicalism ?"
Peerin-r over the .sea of politics wc
find the national democracy afloat with
out rudder, and buSeted about in any
direction except a forward cour.-e by
every local breeze. In Ohio, Valiand
iirham and other outspoken defenders
of the reltellion m:ina";e tho State Con
vention, make a platform to suit their
ideas of general policy, and nominate for
(iovernor, Gen. llosecranz, whose siud
was absorbed in defondins the Union
J from rebels, and who would with much
deasure have hunt allaniligliam lor
lis omo.sition to the war. Kosecranz ac-
1 cepts the nomination, regarding most of
r the Ohio llatfomi as expressive of opin
ions upon dead issues, and in tlie hope
tha at the head of the state government
he can restrain radical rashness. But
his nomination as far as the party is con
cerned was simply a bid for votes.
In Iowa, Illinois and Indiana and the
western States generally Free Trade is
a necessary plank of democratjo policy.
In Pennsylvania the platform is notedly
silent upon the subject. There a Free
Trade policy "would kill the party and
bury it; and the makers of the platform
did not seem to have nerve or honesty
enough to declare in favor of the Tariff.
So far, the democrats as organized in
the States are particularly loud in their
expressions of antagonism to Negro Suf
frage; (really a dead question because
the niggers are to vote and we can't help
ourselves), yet go into extatic rejoicings
over the success of Walker, who in Vir
ginia was elected by niggers because he
was. strong iu favor of their right to the
ballot: They slobber praises over the
soldier for his patriotism, but are mum

There is nothing so captivating to oth
ers, pleasing and salutary to ourselves, as
invariable good humor and harmless
pleasantry. It makes the very atmos
phere redolent with pleasure, and pro
motes our bodily comfort and health in a
manner totally unknown to trcnrintut

through this nmnd ine planet agreeable

The habit of being pleasant is eoniagiotts,
and not only makes us '"healthy, wealthy

promoting digestion and preventing the

but produces the same result in others,
which should be a sufiicient incentive for
us to keep continually in a spirit of jovial

Crops in Nebraska. The crops in
Nebraska this year are good beyond pre
cedent. ' From all our exchanges in this
State, we hear the same story with re
gard to wheat, oats, barley, rye, potatoes
an 1 corn. A description for one county
will answer for all. All over tlie State
there has been excessive rains, but favor
able weather since harvest commenced.
All over the State some fields of wheat
have been slightly injured by the scab or
rust ; all over tlie State, corn, though
full two weeks later than usual, promises
an excellent yield ; oats is from live to
six feet high, and will j'ield from sixty to
one hundred bushels per acre ; barley
will yield over forty bushels per acre, but
signs of the rot in some j daces.
Fruit of all kinds is doing equally well
where people have trees old enough to
bear. One or two counties will have
about as many apples and poaches as
they can consume.

qiied some days since how she could
best preserve her child's linen clean and

the day. I directed her never to dry it
by the fire, but in the sun and open air
if the weather permitted. You thus not
only avoid saturating the air of your
room with the volatile and poisonous
gasses driven out of the linen, but the
sun's rays have powers of cleansing and
disinfecting, which artificial heat has not,
and will pi.rity and preserve the linen.
She followed my directions, but as is
too often the practice, dried ami aired it
inthe nursery window. Her fastidious
husband remonstrated in vain against
this unseemly exposure. Believing that
if she saw her practice as others saw it.
she would desist, he so directed their af

Tho eclipse at Springfield, lllinais, was
a startling and suUime phenomena.
Tho sky was ierfectly clear, nt a cloud
visible. ,
Professor Pierce, of Harvard, ,had
charge of the observations, which were
made near the city rtservoir. A-hundred
hotographs were taken ut the eclipse by
Ir. Black of Boston. When the total
ihs.Mirntion took nlacc. the heavens and
earth presented a scene of awful sublim
ity. A brilliant amber colored corona ap
peared around the sun and moon, tshoot
mg rays of light outward in all directions,
wiion the whole horizon was illuminated
with a light of tho same color. The
planets Mercury and Venus and a num-t-er
of fixed stars were distinctly visible,
but no planets were discovered between
Mercury nnd the sun.
A brilliant rose colored flame or pro
tuberance was noticed in the western
limb of the sun during the period of to
tal obscuration. Tho phenomenon
known as "Bailey's Beads" was also dis
tinctly wituessed. Tho phenomenon,
Prof" Pierce thinks is occasiclied by the
refr-tction of light. Ho is als satisfied
that tho corona or bale, at the time of
the total obscuration w:ls txccasjoneil by
the sun's atmosphere. Prf. Chas.
Schott of the Coast Survey had charge
of the general arrangement-', and with a
powerful telescope observed particularly
the forur-of the protultorence, awl made
special observations in connection with
the photographer. W. P. Montague a
graduate of Harvard College, this year,
was detailed to note the time by tlie
chronometer, and during tho entire
eclipse, from its commencement to its
close, never for a moment-'allowed his
eyes to wander from the dial platt thus
not losing sight of the eclipse in any ct"
its phases.
During the total obsturation of the sun
a silence like death rested over the city;
birds tlew to their nests; fowls to their
roosts, und chickens to their friendly
wings of shelter. A drove of cows feed
ing near the reservoir with heads and
tails erect and with a startled and fright
ened look started for t he city and did not
cease running .until Old Sol once more'
shone forth. Many other incidents,
some laughable and some grave, trans
pired during the eclipse. Dogs were
seen to gaze in wonder at the terrible
appearance of the sky and remain during
the totfd obscuration in an attitude of
alarm and bewilderment, but just at the
moment, of the first ray of the sun ap
peared again, expres.-ed tire joy they
felt in a way dogs only can, The ob
