The lie publican Party.
The Republican party is passing
through the most critical period of its
existence. It has had a most remarkable
and wonderfully successful career since
its first national triumph in 1850. It pre
served the nation against one of the most
powerful rebellions which ever threat
ened the existence of any government. It
established a system of currency which
was almost perfect in its character, and
which resulted in preservins the pros
perity of the people and the credit of the
Government at home and abroad. It has
gradually reduced taxation and at the
same time diminished the national debt.
Internal improvements have been en
couraged, all classes of business have
prospered, and no nation ever made such
progress as that which has characterized
the American people since the Govern
ment passed into tiie hands of the lie
publican parly; and this, too, under cir
cumstances of the moj-t adverse character.
That the Republican party has made
some mistakes there can be no doubt;
but these have been insignificant in char
acter and unimportant in tlieir effects
compared with the grand achievements
which have characterized the history of
the party. Corrupt men have sometimes
obtained position in the party, but they
have been exposed and punished by
Republicans a fact which should
commend the party to the confidence and
support of all honest and true men. It is
the strongest possible evidence of the fact
that the masses of the party and its lead
ers are pure, patriotic, and determined
that the Government shall be honestly
administered. Corrupt men always
seek an alliance with the party in power,
and the Republicans have had much
to contend with through the influ
ence of this class of men ; but it has cast
them out whenever and wherever found.
It has shown a disposition to purify itself
to exact honesty and faithfulness on
the part of all public officers. It has
sought b every possible means to pro
mote the interests and welfare of the peo
ple by the adoption of such measures as
were best calculated to stimulate business
enterprises, develop agricultural and
mineral wealth, and encourage the educa
tional interests of all classes of society.
AVhat more could any party do than
has been done by the Republicans? What
stronger evidence of patriotism and un
selfish devotion to the best interests of thfl
people could be presented than is afforded
by the records of the Republican party?
Upon every page of its history is recorded
achievements which have added to the
prosperity of the people and the strength
of the nation. The few mistakes made
only serve to bring more prominently to
view the general good character and
works of the party.
Notwithstanding this unparalleled rec
ord, there are persons who threaten to
desert the Republican party and devote
their energies to the formation of a new
organization. And why? Simply be
cause this one wants a change iti our cur
rency system, and that one desires the
enactment ot laws designed to secure im
mediate reduction in transportation rates.
While we earnestly desire such a change
in our currency as may be required to
give it the much-needed elasticity, we
could not think of abandoning the party
merely because the present Congress
might not afford the relief demanded.
Better wait and see that the next Congress
is composed of the right kind of men.
And so with cheap transportation. If the
present members of Congress fail to grasp
this question, or cannot appreciate its im
portance, their successors may be equal
to the emergency. We believe that most
of these needed reforms may be secured
through the Republican party better than
in any other w ay. No new organization
can bring about the results desired so
speedily or satisfactorily. It takes time
and costs many mistakes to organize and
place a new party in good working con
dition. All this may be avoided by seek
ing a remedy for the evils complained of
through the Republican party.
The Republican members of Congress,
by heeding the plain dictates of duty and
obeying the voice of the people, may
readily induce the friends of an improved
currency system and the advocates of
cheap transportation to look to the Re
publican party for the success of their
measures and the protection of the inter
ests of the people. It is not necessary for
us to express an opinion as to the conse
quences which may follow a failure on
the part of Congress to comply with the
demands of the people for relief from a
contracted currency and freight monopo
lies. That the people will hold each
member of Congress responsible for his
acts upon these questions, no one can
doubt. But the Republican party must
not be made responsible for the short
comings oi a lew ot its servants, lne
party itself is right upon both of these
issues, and on the first suitable occasion
it will demonstrate that fact. We there
fore urge the friends of these reforms to
pause and carefully consider the situation
ere they take a step calculated to place
them in antagonism to the party which
has preserved the Government, established
freedom, and encouraged and protected
the interests of the people. l'oledo Blade.
them, are thundering their maledictions
into the ears of this Gubernatorial of
fender. It may be mentioned that by the de
cision of the United States Court, two
years ago, it was held that these lands be
longed to the State of Wisconsin, and that
they were therefore under the control of
the Legislature of the State, which had
the power to make any additional regula
tions it might see proper for conveying
these lands not inconsistent witk the
original grant.
Under the conditions imposed by Con
gress and the Legislature, Governor
Washburn had refused to give a certifi
cate to the road unless, as stated in the
original grant, it was commenced at
Portage City. It is a very important
fact that this decision was sustained by
the Secretary of the Interior, as it was by
the people of Wisconsin ; and whatever
Governor Taylor's views may have been
regarding the letter of the law there was
ample reason for his following the ex
ample of his Republican predecessor, and
withholding his certificate until the ques
tion could have been decided by the Leg
islature or the courts. But he has sur
rendered surrendered to the railways
against whose rapacity innocent Reform
ers imagined he was to protect them, and
has left his motives to be hinted at by
some, suspected by others, and denounced
by all. When the"44 new party," the so
called 44 Reformers," gained a victory
over the Republicans in Wisconsin, we
asked the people to watch that State and
mark the Bequel. . The flood of evil has
come much sooner than we anticipated,
but it is no greater or more pronounced

The True Democracy.
People who are in doubt a3 to where
true Democracy can be found, and a3 to
the genuine character of the article, have
only to repair to 44 the dark and bloody
ground" of Kentucky to be duly enlight
ened. At a recent convention at Frank
fort, in that State, an individual calling
himself Jones was nominated for an im
portant office solely on the ground that
he had fought in the rebel army through
out the war. II is other qualifications for
the position seem to have provoked no
inquiry whatever. It was enough to
know that he had been a consistent rebel,
and amid cheers of delight he was norni
nated by acclamation. 44 Our principles
still live," shouted his exultant supporters.
Ex-Gov. Bramlette is not pleased with
such business, and publishes a threaten
ing letter about it in the Louisville Com
mrrcial. He declares that he cannot co
operate with the Democratic party if it
intends to assume as a sacred duty the
task of rewarding rebels with office sim
ply because they have been rebels, and in
utter disregard of their fitness otherwise.
Ex-Gov. Bramlette is training in too bad
a crowd for a man of his patriotic prin
ciples, but we think he has been a good
while in finding it out. Chicago Journal.
General Grant's Turnout.
The fuss the papers make over the car
riages and outfit of the President ill pre
pares one for the quite ordinary stud
Gen. Grant keeps for his own use and
that of his lamily. The old stable of
Buchanan's time is now partly a conser
vatory and partly a wood-shed. Nearly
a quarter of a mile away, on a new and
yet uncultivated part of the public
grounds outside the Presidential gardens
stands a low brick edifice, somewhat
castellated, and this is the Presidential
stable. A coach of modern style, trimmed
wholly in black, except the handles, with
no ornament of any kind but 44 U. S. G."
on the panels, is the State and family car
riage of the Chief Magistrate. It would
not be a fashionable coach for a New
York snob. It would need but little
change to turn it into a first-class mourn
ing carriage. A small, light-driving
w agon is the favorite for the President
when he drives himself. To this is
hitched a small black mare of marvelous
speed that came from the State of Maine.
The carriage horses are beauties. One of
these is over sixteen hands high. He was
picked up in a hack in this city, where
he attracted no attention. He cost but
$400. lie could not now be purchased at
any price. A fine sum would be paid for
a mate. A pair of black ponies of great
speed and grit, driven to a low basket
wagon, with a rumble behind, is the fa
vorite team of Miss Nellie Grant. The
horse of mark in the stable is Cincin
natus, the old war-horse of the President.
This animal is a deep mahogany bay, slen
der and of wonderful symmetry. His
life-work is done. He is eighteen," a crip
ple, and will live in clover to the end of
his days. A four-year-old colt of great

A ' Reform" Governor in Wisconsin.
It i3 not too strong an expression to say
that the Governor of Wisconsin has be
trayed the people. That he has done this
under the forms of law is only legally,
not morally, less reprehensible. Let us
briefly look at the facts. In Congress
granted certain lands to the State of Wis
consin to aid in the construction of a rail
way from Portage City, Berlin, Doty's
Island, or Fond du Lac, as the State
might determine, in a northerly direction
to Bayfield and thence to Superior or
Lake Superior. It was provided also
that whenever twenty consecutive miles
of the road should be completed patents
should issue, conveying the lands on each
side of the road, so far as the same was
completed, to the company entitled there
to ; and patents were to issue in like man
ner as each twenty miles of said road
should be built. It was provided in ad
dition that no patents as above described
should issue until the Governor of the
State should certify to the Secretary of the
Interior that such portion of the road had
been built in the manner required by the
act. The Legislature of Wisconsin in
1SGG granted these lands to the Portage fc
Superior and the Winnebago fc Lake
Superior Railway Companies on the
terms prescribed. These companies
afterward consolidated under ths name of
the Wisconsin Central Hail way Company.
There are portions of the lands thus
granted whick are very valuable, while
other portions are well-nigh worthless.
The act making the grant was rather
loosely worded, but the plain intent was
to provide for the commencement of the
line at Portage City, and thence continue
it to its destination, awarding the lands
as each consecutive twenty miles was
completed. To say that the railway could
build twenty miles of road through the
most valuable of the lands, and having
obtained these leave the rest of the pro
posed road unbuilt and the worthless
lands unclaimed, would be such a
palpable violation of the snirit and intent
of the act that the idea of successfully ac
complishing such a trick would be scouted
as ridiculous by all honest men ; and yet
this is precisely w hat has been accom
plished by the Wisconsin Central Rail
way Company, through the act of the
Reform Governor of that State. The
railway has built a road through
the richest of the lands, and has
received the certificate of the Governor
entitling it to patents therefor, while the
rest of the promised highway remains
unbuilt. It was, of course, intended that
the grant should give to Wisconsin the
whole line of road, and that the advan
tages should be taken with the disadvan
tages. But through the assistance of the
Governor this intention is thwarted, and
the whole design of the act perverted and
abused. What wonder is it that the pop
ulation of the counties of Osbkosh, Fond
du Lac, Manitowoc, Sheboygan, Ripon,
Berlin, Portage, and others, who by this
a:t are swindled out of the benefits which
the Government intended to bestow upon
How to Handle Frightened Horses.
There are some good suggestions as
to the management of frightened horses
in the follow ing, from the Ohio Farmer,
especially about curing them by degrees
of all fear of any object, and being calm
and quiet yourself; but we should ques
tion the policy of giving loose rein when
they shy at objects :
Almost invariably the damage doie by
frightened horses is directly traceable to
injudicious management. In the first
place, the idea of forcing a horse to 44 get
used " to something he is frightened at
is wrong. If a horse is afraid of the cars
or any other object, the only way to cure
him of It is by degrees. Drive or hitch
him at a safe distance from them, where
he can see then?, and then pay as little
attention to him as possible. Don't make
anything of the matter yourself, and he
will gain confidence Very rapidly. When
your horse is frightened never display
any tear or nervousness yourself, and
make the matter appear as light as possi
ble." If you make a great demonstration
about holding him, it is certain to mag
nify the cause in the mind of the horse.
Is ever let your norse see you are airaia
of him, nor try to cure his fear by force
or rough treatment, for either course will
be certain to increase his fear.
Be firm, calm and kind, and vou
will be astonished at your own success
Many horses are disagreeable drivers
from the habit of shying at objects on the
roadside or in passing another vehicle ;
this is in most cases a mere habit, and
can be quickly cured, simply by making
the horse ashamed of his own tear. When
a horse shies, if the circumstances will
possibly admit of it, do not pay the least
attention to it, do not pull him severely
on the rein, and never hit him with the
whip when past the object, but let the
lines remain loose and let him shy as far
as he pleases without any apparent atten
tion. No other course that we have tried
will so quickly and effectually cure a
horse of this disagreeable and sometimes
dangerous habit. In case of a runaway,
dangerous results can often be averted by
quiet calmness, and seeking to restore
your control by degrees, instead of by
some sudden exertion. Never halloo, or
by any means let the horse know you are
afraid, although there may be ample
cause for it. The horse deserves credit
for more knowledge, affection and mem
ory than i3 generally given to him.

To Rn Canaries of Lice. A corre-

moved and notches cut in the upper side
of the perch at distances of one-half to
one inch ; thus a series of holes connect
ing the exterior and interior of the perch
are made. As the birds perch the lice
leave them and creep into the interior of
the perch. Each morning the perch is
removed and the lice jarred out on to a
piece or white paper and destroyed. We
have also heard that lice will not stay on

How to Use a Spade. The man who
can handle a spade properly does not find
it very nam or laborious work, lie first
lets the spade fall of its own weight down
to the spot where the spadeful is to be
taken up, taking care that the breadth on
the surface ot the ground is not more than
four inches ; then he draws back thespade
a little, which takes off much of the fric
tion of the descending blade. One good
thrust of the spade with the foot then sends
the blade down its full depth. A back
ward pressure makes a lever of the handle
and heel of the spade, and a dexterous
turn of the wrist sends the spadeful up
side down just where it is wanted. There
is no rakmg or 44 sputterinc" needed to
make the ground level. A slight tap
with the corner of the spade makes the
work as regular and plane as if laid off
with an instrument Forney's Prens.

it arises from the irritation produced in the
throat and larynx by taking cold, from an
attack of Bronchitis, from incipient consump

will allay it more speedily nor cure it more
permanently than Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical

recent attack, or a lingering cough, the Dis
covery is in either case equally well adapted
for its relief and permanent cure. In fact, it
will cure a cough in one-half the time neces

does it, not by drying it up, but by removing
the cause, subduing the irritation, and healiog
the affected parts. No time 6hould be lost in
commencing the use of a proper medicine for
the relief of a Cough, for unless this course is

came indisposed, the family-head, under
instructions from the gray haired dame,
went to the forest or the field to gather
herbs or berries, from which were quickly
made invigorating extracts, which ere
many days brought the patient safely
around, and saw the family gathering once
more without a missing member. How
is it now? The slightest indisposition
biings the " family physician," with his
handsome carriage. He feels the pulse,
examines the tongue, looks very grave,
writes a few lines of hieroglyphics,
charges a big fee, and leaves, only to re
turn the next day and find his patient
mercurialized sufficiently to be really
sick. A week or two of attendance .fol
lows, and therein lies the secret of
wealthy physicians." uompare tne
physique of the present age with the past,
and the story is complete. Reader, dis
card chemicals and try herbs. If you are
ill, try the great herbalistic remedy, Dr.

How fliutmegs Grow.
An old whaler tells, in the American
Grocer, all about nutmegs. This spice, so
much used in every family, is indigenous
to the Moluccas, reaching its greatest per
fection in Amboyna. Tnis island belongs
to the Dutch, who do not permit the cul
tivation of the nutmeg in the other islands
under their control. The nutmeg tree is
twenty-five or thirty feet high when fully
grown, with foliage of a rich dark green,
and very plentiful. It reaches maturity,
or full productiveness, at the fifteenth year
from pianung. J? rom the blossom to the
ripening ot the fruit takes about seven
montns, but as the tree is a perennial
bearer there are always blossoms, green
fruit and ripe on the tree.
The yield is most plentiful in the last
four months of the year. The average
yield per annum of a healthy tree is five
pounds of nutmegs and one and one-fourth
pounds of mace. A plantation of 1,000
trees requires the labor of seven coolies,
fifty oxen and two plows for cultivation
and harvesting. The fruit is gathered by
means of a hook attached to a long pole.
It is shaped like a pear, about the size of
a peach, and has a delicate 44 bloom." The
nut has three coverings ; the outside one
is a thick, fleshy husk, having a strong
flavor of nutmeg. This husk, preserved
in syrup when youDg, is a favorite sweet
meat in the East Indies. Under this husk
is the bright red mace, which is carefully
flattened by hand and dried on mats in
the sun. It loses its rich scarlet and be
comes a dull orange color, and requires
to be kept perfectly dry to preserve its
uavor.
Alter the mace is removed from the
fruit, the nuts, in their brown shells, are
placed on hurdles over a slow fire, which
is kept constantly burning under them for
two months. The nuts then rattle in the
shells, which are cracked with a wooden
mallet, the sound nuts selected and packed
in wooden cases, and sprinkled over with
dry, sifted lime, and are then ready for
market. The best nutmegs are dense,
emit oil when pricked with a pin, and
can always be known by their heavy
weight. Poor ones are light and easily
known.
Watering- Cattle.
1 here are two seasons ot the year in
which farmers are very liable to give their
cattle an insuincient supply ot good
water, and these two seasons are midsum
mer and midwinter. W hen the pasture
fields are not supplied with running
water, the animals in summer are made
to drink from stagnant pools, many times
as insufficiently supplied as the wells ; and
in the winter water is given usually but
once a day, and the work of watering left
to tne Hired man, wno lias not always in
dividual interest or patience enough to
give cattle time to take water as slowly as
they wisn to in very cold weather.
There are but few farms unsunplied
with springs or creeks; but a good supply
of water may be found by digging, and
after the supply is obtained, there should
be the individual attention of the owner
given to the matter of seeing that the ani
mals are provided with all that they may
desire. Surface water is the best, for it
is the provision of nature, and if some
what impregnated with earth is none the
worse, and cattle appear to prefer it in
this way to the pure. There is a vast
difference, however, between roily and
stagnant water. unto j? armer.
