CARL

i:and

Bemrai, Republican Senator

from Missouri, recently delivered a lengthy speech to his Gorman fellow ciliin the city of Chicago, from which *e make the following extracts

TRK KC-KI/DX BTLT.

The Ku-Klux bill waa specially designed to punish, through the Federal courts, the conspirators who combine to injure, persecute, and oppress certain classes of people the Southern States, and who were believed to overawe.and control witnesses, juries, and courts fn those States to such an extent as to escape punishment by the State authorities. Was not the object of the Ku-Klux bill, In itself, a laudable object? Yes. And why «Jid we oppose it» Because the bill invested the government with powers, as we be!i« vcd not warranted by the Constition—powers more dangerous in effect than the abuses they were in this instauce to correct.

VJhen discussing subjects which appeal to th«.ir sympathies, men are apt to indulge in high sounding generalities. It is asked, Must not a government have the power to protect the rights and liberty and property of its own citizens? If not, then it is no government worthy of the name. And with this statement it is thought the whole qu stion is disposed of. Look at the subject in all its aspects.

Thu Emperor of Russia, whenever a disturbance occurs, or whenever he has reason to suspect that a formidable combuiation has been, or is being, formed to endanger tlie public peace, or his rights, or those of any of his subjects, has a very Bimple method of meeting the case. He sends his police or soldiers to the spot, ha-t the disturbefs'or conspirators arrested and, without much circumstance, hurries them off to Siberia. In this way, the Russian Government erects the power to protect the rights and property of its subjects. And this method is certainly quite efficient. To be sure, it might happen, and history shows bow frequently it has happened, that the government, pretending to exercise such powers for the protection of the rights and liberties of its subjects, really employs them to prosecute and punish persons who are only guilty or the ^crime of displeasing those in authority

thus it tu^iis Out that the powers ostensibly intended for the protection of all, are Calculated to lead to the oppression of all. What do w« call a government that possesses such unlimited powers for the protection of its subjects? We call it despotism. This definition is notconflned to a government with a king or an emperor at its head The celebrated Convention of the French Republic, in 1791, actod just in the same manner. It protected the rights and libortiej of the peo pie by summarily arresting, and sometimes after, and sometimes without a mock trial, decapitating whomsoever it pleased, upon the alleged ground that the persons so treated were dangerous to popular rights and liberties. Thus the lives, and rights, and liberty of all were completely at the mercy of a power which professedly exerted itself to protect the rights and liberties of all. A despotism labeled republic, but a despotism for all that. You appoint the lion to protect the sheep against the I wolf. The lion will easily keep the wolf away. But who is there to protect the

Bhei against the lion? It i9 clear that a government which posses unlimited power to protect its subjects, has also the faculty to abuse that power for purposes of

1ows?

ersecution

and oppression. What folThat this power must not bo abso

lute that it will be compatible wilh popular liberty and with the security of the citiz ns' rights only whon it is carefully J#. limited ami circumscribed. And so it is •d in our constitutional system. Our general government has the power to protect the rights and liberties of its citizens, but not, in doing so, to go beyond certain limits of its authority and jurisdiction prescribed in the Constitution of the Republic.

I and others voted against the Ku-Klux bill, not because we were indifferent to the suppression of wrong and outrage, indifferent to the protection of the Union men of the South, for our hearts beat as warmly for the sufferers as the hearts of others but because it is against the most essential principles of our constitutional system that the President should be invested with the almost dictatorial power which the KuKlux act gives him, to declare and treat as a rebellion, according to his own arbitrary judgment, any combination merely capable of mischief, although no mischief may havo been overtly committed, and then to march troops into a State without any requisition from Governor or Legislature, ana to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, according to his sovereign pleasure. We voted against this act, not as if we had been unwilling to protect the lives and rights and liberties of those who need it in the South, but because the manner in which the protection is proposed is involving great dangers to the rights and liberties of all. Ahd we refused to grant such powers to tiie Executive, not because the President now in office did not individually possess our contidcnce, but because we would not entrust any man, and were he ever so great and good, with such powers to rule the American people. Had such a law existed under President Buchanan, he might havo prosecuted uuder it every member of an anti-slavery organization, of the Republican party—in the South at least— as a participant iu a conspiracy, as defined in the Ku-Klux law. And who know6 what may happen if the law is permittedmuch longer to remain in force?

In periods of extreme public peril, a temporary grant of such extraordinary powers may be a necessity, as the Romans appointed a dictator when the enemy was at their gates. In such periods, the habit of using exceptional powers is easily acquired. But, it is time, at last, wc should understand that the war is over that the habits of war must be dropped, and that constitmionil government must once more reign supreme. There is no safety for our free institutions but in this.

BAN DOMINGO.

It has been my fortune to oppose an assumption of power of a different kind, for which the apology of a good purpose could not be adduced I mean the usurpation of the war-making power by the President in the San Domingo case.

Iu the summer of 1869 the President negotiated two treaties with Buenaventura Baei the chief of the Republic of San Domingo, one of which provided for the annexation of the territory of that republic to the United States, and the other for the lease of the Bay of Sarnana, part of that territory. The latter was iutended to be considered if the first failed. This the President had, according to the Constitution, a jerfect right to do. But neither of thes« treaties was valid, according to the Constitution, unless consented to by the Senate of the United States. It was believed that the Republic of San Domingo was threatened with warlike invasion by the neighboring Republic of Hayti, and also that Baez, who originally had obtained possession of the government by usurpation, was endangered in the possession of the government by revolutionary movements carried on by citizens of Sail Domingo. Thete circumstances threatened to interfere with the annexation scheme of President Grant. To avert this danger General Grant ordered the naval offl ^irs commanding war vessels of the.United States to proceed to Sam Domingo, and if Bac« was interfered with in warlike manner, either by any foreign power or by fellow-citizens of his own,"to capture or destroy any hostile force on the sea, and t: protect Baez with the whole power of the United States at their command. In other words, the President ordered the navy of the United States to oommit acts of war iu a certain contingency, expecting that contingency to happen, against a power with whom the United States wera at peace—and he did this in the face of that provision of the Constitution which invests the Congress of the United State*, and not the President, with the power to declare war.

Sana tor Sumner and myself assailed this act of the President as a flagrant usurpation of the most important powers of Congress aud, indeed, the more carefully I have studied this question in all its aspects, the dteeper has become my conviction that by this act the Constitution has been violated in one of its most vital principles, and that nothing in any degree to be compared with this act of usurpation

has ever hai of this republic. Only look at it The power to declare war, is by the Constitution delegated to Congress and not to the President, and this for the simple reason that the peace of the country should not be the football of a single individual's ambition, and that war, with its sacrifices and misery, should not be entailed upon the people except by the action of the representatives of the people. If the language of the Constitution, that Congress shall have the power to delare war, means anything if it is not a mere mockery, it must mean that the Executive, the President, shall have no power to initiate a war, to make war, unless specially authorized, to do so by act of CoDgress. It is admitted that if our territory is iavaded by a hostile force, or if our ships are atticed on the high seas, the right of defense is a matter of course. But when there is no invasion of our territory, when there is no attack on our ships, when the idea of defense is entirely out of the question, when, then, the President orders acts of war of an aggressive nature, interfering with the affairs of nations with whom the United 8tates are at peace, and all this without the least semblance of authority from Congress, nay, even without condescending to consult Congress, and he issued some of these orders while Congress was in session,—then he assumes a power which the Constitution has expressly witheld from him, and which is not even exercised by the most powerful monarch of the Old World, the Emperor of Germany for even he cannot, under the Constitution of the Empire, initiate war without the consent of the Federal Council. If we concede that power to him, then indeed the peace, and prosperity, and happiness of the American people are at the mercy of one man theB the United States, as regards the point in question, become a monarchy, more absolute than the most powerful monarchy in Europe. And this proves the President has usurped. Can a people, loving its libarty, permit such usurpation^

The arguments brought forward to defend the President's act were only calcu lated to prove how utterly indefensible it is. That the President ordered acta of war, without the consent of Congress, nobody attempts to deny, but it was said that by making a project of a treaty of annexation with a foreign government, the President had acquired for the United States a sort of an inchoate right in that foreign country which he had the power to protect by war-like means as he would have the right to protect the soil of the United States against foreign invasion. A single word will suffice to show the ab surdity of that argument. The President negotiates a treaty with a foreign govern ment. That is his own act. By the President's own arbitrary ct it is said that rights are created giving the President the power, of his own motion, at his own arbitrary pleasure, to commit acts of war for their protection. In other words, although the Constitution entrusts Congress with the war making power, the President may perform acts which confer upon him alone the war-making power without the consent of Congress. By a mere trick he can acquire the power delegated to Congress by the Constitution. You see how absurd this is.

But even this defense, absurd as it i«, does not apply to the case. For the treaty of annexation was formally and solemnly rejected by the Senate then, evidently, the treaty being out of existance, the socalled inchoate right of the United States in San Domingo "had ceased. And even then, when there was no treaty relation, even of the shadowiest kind, between the United States and San Domingo, the navy of the United States was ordered to use its cannon against anybody attacking Baez, and our ships of war actually did take part in military opera'ions, by transporting the troops of a belligerent party and the like. Nay, at this very moment, if we may believe the newspapers, they are at the same business, under the same orders —the warships of the United States virtually at the command of a foreign adventurer in the West Indies.

Gentlemen, this is a matter of grave importance. The poser to involve the country in war is a power of tremendous responsibility. It cannot be circumscribed too carefully nor too conscientiously guarded against abuse. That this power wa9 taken from the executive and confided to the legislative branch of the government was one of the most important changes in the theories of constitutional government it was essentially a republican provision, for with it we gratefully remember the fathers of our Constitution. And here wc stand before a naked usurpa tion of this power a usurpation which only through a fortunate accident tailed to be the cause of bloodshed. When our ships of war had sailed with the President's orders, it was beyond his power to prevent a hostile collision. Any Haytien adventurer might have brought it about. It will not do to say that a little war with Hayti would have followed. There are no little wars," says the Duke of Welling ton. A little war with Hayti! France sacrificed the flower of its revolutionary army—the Army of the Rhine—in a war with Hayti. We would be vitorious, but to what purpose? There stands the naked usurpation. No public danger provoked it no public interest was served by it no public voice called for it. The honor of the country would have been far better guarded without it. Not the shadow of a valid justification excuses it. A naked act of usurpation performed merely to further a favorite schcme of the White House. And for this the Constitution was violated, and the peace of the country endangered. And can such an act pass without the most energetic opposition of Con-

femnation?

ress, and the most empatic public conIt would almost seem so. And more than this, the same officer of the government who was guilty of this act is held up by a great may as the man above all others to be leinvested with the power and honor of the National Exccu tive. Do you know what that means? We are living in a country where precedent often, but too often, acquires the authority of law and constitutional rule. What is a mere fact to-day is apt to be looked upon ns law to-morrow. If this act of usurpation passes without authoritative censure, thus passing as a precedent into our history, future Presidents and their sycophants will find therein sufficient proof that a President may arrogate to himself such a power, for President Grant had done so, and done so not only with impunity, but the American people, after he had done so, had again rewarded him with the highest honors of the Republic. And what will that signify That henceforward a most flagrant and willful breach of the Constitution by the President will be considered no reason why the same position of trust and power should not be confided to him 8gain.

Munchausen In California.

A corPLE of weeks ago I started on a visit to Yosemite Valley. The Stockton boat leaves San Francisco at half-past 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I arrived at the wharf just a moment too late to get on board, aud instead of waiting until the next day, I determined to go 'to Stockton on horseback, by land route. I accordingly crossed the bay to Oakland, or as it Is better known, Little Peddlington," procured a horse and rode over the Liverm«-re Valley, where I staid allnight with a raacher, who was known in the valley as "Olamps." They all call him that because he got rich by holding on to his money with a degree of fortitude not universal in in this country. Well, as supper time approached, "Clamps" asked me if I would like some egg, and how I preferred it, hard or soft, boiled or fried. I told him I would, and that it would suit me best soft-boiled.

In few momenta there came Clamps and his wife, rolling an egg the size of a flour barrel, which they boiled in a short time in a large cauldron, and then set it up on end alongside of madam's chair at the table. A hole was made in the top of the •hell, and the egg was dipped out with a long-handled ladle. I was astonished at the size of the egg, and observed that his hens must be enormously large. By no means," he replied. You will not be so much surprised when I tell you that one hen did not lay this egg alone it took seven or eight hens almost a week to lay it It was a joint-stock production of the chickens, but still it is better than the individual responsibility plan.

At breakfast the next morning we had

in the whole history more egg, and then I went on the road to Stockton. I reached San Joaquin River at noon, and was, with my, horse, ferried over in a very unique looking craft

While the ferryman was tugging silently at his big oars, I started a conversation with him by inquiring whether his ferry was very profitable.

Doesn't scarcely pay for raisin* the boat," he replied. Raising the boat I repeated, What do you mean by raising the boat?'"

Mister," said he, resting for the while on his oar, you be a stranger in these parts, bean't you

I replied that I had not been long in the country. Then," said be, pointing away to the field, this 'ere bent growed in that punkin patch over yonder." "Growed in a pumpkin patch!" I exclaimed.

Growed in that punkin patch on a punkin vine. Mister, this boat is a punkin shell, cut in two and the innards taken out That patch is where it growed."

Where, over by that barn?" I inquired. That ain't no barn," he answered, unless you choose to call it so. That's a punkin, too. But I started a hole in the end on't and let the stock inside it, and when the wet season sets in, why, you see, I jist plug up the hole and let 'em winter in there. They come out awful fat in the spring. That big green looking squash over yonder, I'm hollerin' out to live in."

Are these the growth of the season?'' I asked. We don't have no sich difference here on the San Joaquin as growin' seasons and them others things keep on growin' all the time till we pull 'em or they die."

As I was about taking leave of the ferryman he gave me a pumpkin seed, with the remark that I might some time astonish the folks in the East with it and be fore twenty-four hours had elapsed I came near having a calamity by reason of this same seed.

It was in this wise: After riding several hours in the sun, I was so overcome with drowsiness as to find it impossible to keep in my saddle, so I dismounted and lay down on the ground, intending to take a short nap. I had put the pumpkin seed in my vest pocket. During my slumbers it fell out on the ground, and I rolled over on top of it. My great fatigue caused me to quite oversleep myself, and I was awakened the next morning by being roughly hurried along over the ground in my prostrate position, and it seemed as if a rope were wound around my body. I bawled lustilv for help, and my cries attracted the attention of two men who were on their way to the harvest field.

On being released from my perilous position, the mystery became clear to me, The warmth of my body caused the pump kin seed to spring into vigorous life, and one of the tendrils of the new vine had coiled itself around my body, dragging me along in its rapid growth a distance of more than half a mile before I was awakened. My two deliverers had a hard run to keep pace with me in the clutches of the pumpkin vine, and finally arrested my unwilling progress by cutting off the end of it with their sythe-blades. I gave them the vine for their reward, and we counted on it no less than three hundred young pumpkins, ranging from the size of a hen" egg up to a flour barrel.

On returning to my horse,

found him

filling himself with green pumpkin, and as a consequence, during the after part of the day, while we were proceeding on our journey, he was seized with a violent fit of colic, of which he died, notwithstand ing that I gave him several bottles of Cal ifornia soothing syrup. I did not feel able to payNfor the pony, which I knew wpuld be required of me on my return to Little Peddlington, and began to think very bad oyer the unlucky turn things. While sitting on the ground near my dead pony, a jackass came browsing along. I took out my hunting-knife, and in a jiffy whipped off the pony's hide and threw it over the jackass. It fitted to a charm, and, after visiting Yosemite Val lep, I returned the disguised jackass to the man of whom I had hired the pony in Lit tie Peddlington. To this day he does not know but that he has got the same animal he lent me

There is but one thing more I will no tice in this letter. Six years ago, a gentle man residing near Stockton planted grapevine by his house. In a couple of years the building was completely enfolded in the strong branches of the vine, and the gentleman was surprised at seeing his dwelling starting from its foundations. The vine grew with wonderful vigor, and carried the house, bodily and unharmed, up to a height of sixty feet in the air, where it remained at a stand. The gentle man now reaches his front door by means of a winding staircase around the stout trunk of the grapevine, and anybody who will take the trouble to go and see, will find it just as I have related.—Cor. N. Y. News.

Grant's Dictatorship—Forcing a Nom Inatlou at the oint of Federal Bayonets.

Fon the first time in the history of the nation, Federal bayonets have been used to control the action of a political conven lion. Under the lead of the President's brother-in-law's brother, United States troops yesterday took possession of the hall in which the Louisiana Republican Slate Convention was being held, and forced out the delegates opposed to the renomination of Gen. Grant. The office-holders and those looking for office remained, and will undoubtedly carry out the wishes of Grant and his relations.

The men who have made the Republican party of Louisiana were virtually driven out of the convention. Under the leadership of Gov. Warmoth they proceeded in a body to another hall, and their convention is now in session.

When the Ku Klux bill was before Congress, the Sun repeatedly warned the people that it was a bill expressly prepared to enable Grant to force the election "of delegates favorable to his re-nomination from" tho Southern States to the next National Republican Convention. The scene in New Orleans yesterday proves that that warning should have been heeded. What has been done in Louisiana may be done in Alabama, and in South and North Carolina. But even under the Ku Klux law the President has no power to use United States troops as they were used in New Orleans yesterday. He has usurped the power. He has no more right to interfere with a Republican Convention in Louisiana than he has to interfere with a Republican Convention in the State of New York. He has no more right to point a bayonet at the breast of a Warmoth delegate to the Louisiana Convention than he has to point a bayonet at the breast of a Greeley delegate to the New York State Convention. If he may do one, he may do the other.

Grant's action yesterday was a glaring usurpation of the rights of the people. It gives strong color to the prediction of Gen. Frank Blair, that Grant would use the army if necessary to retain his hold upon the White House.

Let the people be prepared—their liberties are threatened ?—New York Sun.

—The following is said to have been a ankee's reasoning on progress in transportation I kin reckerlect tenor twelve years ago, that if I started from Bosting on a Wednesday, I cud git in Philadelphy on the next Saturday, makin' jist three days. Now I can git from Bosting to to PhUadelphy in one day and I've been cal'latin' that if the power of steam increases for the next ten years as it has been doin' for the last ten years, I'd be in PhilaMphy jist two days before I started from Boding."

—A piece of" iron-paper." a thousand of which were required to make a layer an inch thick, was sent from this country to the International Exhibition at London in 1851. But English workmanship has now attained afar more remarkable result, in the production of a sheet of iron so thin that it requires four thousand eight hundred such to form an inch in thickness. It is the thinnest sheet iron ever rolled, and measured ten inches in length by five and a half in width. It weighs only twenty grains.

Tin circulation of Amsrioac papers is rapidly increasing in Germany, and it is proposed to establish a German-American news agency at Hamburg.

USEFUL AJTD 8C86E8TIYE*

THIS worst use that man can make of his time is to borrow trouble in any shape. It is quite bad enough to spend it in tears anu despair when it comes of its own irrepressible accord,- until then, let us keep our hands clear of it, and if we must borrow anything, borrow joy and hope, even if we have to pay back the loan with disappointment and with grieving.

THE Country Gentleman f&ys: Some of our readers are aware that by coating the lower part of the trunks of trees with soft soap, the worm may be prevented from laying its eggs in the bark, provided the work is done at the right time (late in May or early in June), and the coating is kept on. Where this work has been omitted, the trees should be examined.

CAPT. PIEBCE, of Arlington, N. Y., a very successful orchardist, finds that the best time for pruning, so as to have the cuts heal rapidly, is the last week in May, or the first week in June. His time for removing surplus weod is in the fell. He cuts off a limb six or eight inches from the place where it is to be cut for healing over, and then, at the time specified, he goes over and cuts off these stumps, close up, with a sharp saw.

EGGS

AND

POISON.—By having his wits

about him, and a plentiful supply of eggs, Mr. Joseph Hale succeeded in saving the life of his wife, recently, in Portland, Maine, who, in a fit of abstraction, had swallowed a dose of corrosive sublimate, thinking it was laudanum. Given over by the frightened neighbors for as good as dead, her husband at once administered to the terrified victim the whites of fifteen eggs, which completely neutralized the effects of the poison.

TIIE Germantown Telegraph says: We repeat our doubts that there is more than one kind of asparagus. The more we hear of the cultivation of the mammoth —a size that we do not covet—the more clear does it appear that it is the result of selecting the strong single roots for planting to begin with, and then plant them in trenches six to eight inches deep, well piled with manure at the sides of the row. and as the manured spires grow, fill in the soil, etc. At least this is one way of getting the very largest we ever saw."

PLATE

of ice cream, taken leisurely,

whiles eated at a supper table in pleasureable conversation, is afar safer quencher of thirst than a glass of ice water, or any other ice-cold liquid the ice-cream is, in addition, stimulating and nutritious, thus invigorating, cooling and strengthening the system at the same time. Ice cream should not be taken immediately after a full meal, unless in the most leisurely manner possible—a plateful in the course of fifteen minutes during lively conversation. If eaten rapidly, it cools the stomach, prevents digestion, and causes acidity, unseemly belching, if not actual chill, which, in feeble persons, endangers life.— HalVs Journal of Health.

THE Massachusetts Ploughman says that the old-fashioned way of cultivating eel ery in trenches dug deep with the spade has heen abandoned by the market gardeners, and is now considered a useless ex pense. It is founfl to do much better grown on the surface, making a quicker and better growth, on which the quality so much depends, aDd tho labor of digging the trenches is saved. It may be sown any time from the 20th of June to the 1st of August, or even later, according to the objt ct in view. Planted about the middle of July, it would be large enough to blanch by the middle of October, and and would be fit for use early in Novem ber.

PETUNIAS.—When the petunia is grown as a house plant and neatly trained on a trellis, it presents a much prettier appearance than when grown in the garden. A very neat trellis may be made of old hoops, forming pieces of them into three circles, seven, five and three inches in diameter, fastening each circle firmly with the clap taken from the hoops. Then a fiije. stick two feet long, nicely polished and sharp' ened at one end, must be_ put through th§ circles, first under one side of the first, etc., weaving them in, securely fastening the upper side of the largest one with a little wire staple.—Exchange.

MICE

MEADOWS

AND

ORCHARDS.—

The ravages of mice are sometimes sufficient to completely destroy a sod during one winter. If allowed to increase anc. find shelter, no means of prevention will avail. There is no plan but to disturb their haunts, clear out the fence rows of brush, and weeds, remove all pieces of ele caying rails, pick off all loose stone in fact, leave no places for the vermin to hide, Their natural enemies, the hawks, owlsv skunks, and cats, will then find them and devour them. In addition, leave a few small bundles of straw in the fields scattered about, and when they have commenced to work at them, put a small quantity each night of corn-meal and arsenic under each bundle. This will help thin them off, and if persevered in will so reduce their numbers that the sod aud the trees in the orchard will to a great extent be spared their ravages.—Hearth and Home.

VEBBENA8 are propagated in the spring by taking young, soft shoots of this year's growth, making them about two inches long, and leaving only four leaves on each cutting. When well-rooted, put them in two inch pots after they have grown three or four inches, plant in open ground. To have them flower well in winter, prune the plant severely, the first of September give each plant to be taken up atop dressing of fine manure this will "cause young shoots to start near the center of the plant. Before frost, take up those that are to be kept through the winter, and put in six or eight-inch pots, they will usually bloom and grow vigorously, if kept in warm room. Do not water too freely un til they flower. It is useless to keep verbenas in a cellar, as it is too damp. If young plants are wanted for the following spring, take cuttings as before stated, from young growth but never take up old plants or layers, as they are more liable to be infested with insects during the winter than young and thrifty plants. To have seed, select the largest cluster of flowers after the petals have dropped when the seed vessels begin to turn yellow, cut them, and lay them away until dry. Tne seed may be sown in March in hot-beds, or iu open ground in May.— Rural New Yorker.

Driving Bees from the Hive.

CHOOSE that part of a pleasaut day, when many bees are abroad, and if any are clustered on the bottom board or outside of the hive, puff among them a few whiffs of smoke—that from spunk is best so as to drive them up among the combs. The bees will go up more readily if the hive is tipped back, or elevated by small wedges, about one-quarter of an inch above the bottom-board. Have in readiness box, which I shall call the forcingbox—whose diameter is about the same with that of the hive from which you intend to drive the swarm. Lift the hive from the bottom-board without the slightest jar, turn it over, aDd carefully carry it off about a rod, as bees, if disturbed, are much more inclined to be peaceable when removed a short distance from their familiar stand. If the hive is gently placed upside down on the ground, scarcely a bee will fly out, and there will be little danger of being stung. The timid and inexperienced should protect themselves with a bee-dress, snd may gently sprinkle the bees with sugar-water, or blow more smoke among them, as soon as the hive is inverted. After placing it on the ground, the forcing-box must be put over it, and every opening between it and the hive, from which a bee might escape, should be stopped with paper, or any convenient material. The forcing-box, if smooth inside, should have slats fastened one-third of the distance from the top*, to aid the bees in clustering.

As soon as the apiarian has confined the bees, he should place an empty hive which I shall call the decoy hive—upon their old stand, which those returning from tiie field may enter, instead of dispersing to other hives, to meet perhaps, with a most ungracious reception. Asa general rule, however, a bee with a Joad of honey or bee-bread, after the extent of his resources is ascertained, is pretty sure to be welcomed by any hive to which ht mav carry his treasure while a poverty stricken unfortunate that presumes to claim theii hospitality is usually at once

destroyed. The one meets with as flattering a reception as a weaphy gentlemaa proposing to take up his abcide a country village, while the crther is as much object of dislike as a poor man, who bids fair to become a public charge.

To return to our imprisoned beea: their hive should be beaten smartly with the palms of the hands, or two small rods, on the sides to which the combs are attached, so as to run no risk of loosening them. These Tappings," although not of a very spiritual' character, produce, nevertheless, a decided effect upon the bees. Their first impulse, if no smoke were used, would be to sally out, and wreak their vengence on those who thus rudely assail their honied dome but as soon as they inhale its fumes, and feel the terrible concussions of their once stable abode, a sudden fear that they are to be driven from their treasures, takes possession of them, 'determined to prepare for this unceremonious writ of ejection, by carrying off what they can, each bee begins to lay in a supply, and in abdut five minutes, all are fill*-' "o their utmost capacity. A prodig^Timing is new heard, as they be~—»t into the upper box and in i" minutes from the time the 6 began—if it has been continued wjth but slight intermissions the mass oftjf'bees, with their queen, will hang ciusV—.d in the forcing box, like any natural swarm, and may, at the proper time, be readily shaken out, on a sheet, in front of their intended hive.—Lang&troth on the Bee.

How to Save a Drowning Woman.

IN Cheyenne, when anything happens, the people consider that a religious duty devolves upon them to hold a meeting, and to pas3 resolutions upon it, and to strong has this habit become that some citizens of that place, whenever a breakfast bell rings, call a meeting of the family. elect officers, and resolve to go down stairs and eat the meal. The other day a woman fell into Crow Creek and sank. A large crowd of men were standing upon the bank at the time, and they instantly proceeded to organize a meeting for the purpose of devising means for rescuing the woman. After a spirited debate, M. A. Arnold was elected Chairmen and on taking his seat, Mr. Arnold not only thanked the meeting very warmly for the compliment offered him, but he made a long speech, in which he discussed the tariff, the coal product for 1871, and the Alabama claims. A series of resolutions were then offered, and after a prolonged discussion, and the acceptance of several amendments, they were passed. They embraced a protest against the depth of Crow Creek regrets that all women were not taught to swim, and a resolve to rescue the particular woman who had fallen overboard. A committee of one was appointed to dive for ber. He dived, and brought the woman to the surface by the hair. Just then it occurred to him that he had not been ordered to bring her to the shore so he let her sink again, and swam to the bank to report progress, and ask for further instructions. Action was taken on the report, and after an exciting discussion, he was directed to land the woman immediately.

He dived again and dragged her out. None of the women in Cheyenne can hold their breath more than an hour at a time, so when this one was re covered she was dead. The meeting said it was sorry, but it was vastly more important that things should be done decently and in order, and according to rule, than that the life of a woman should be saved.—Laramie Sentinel.

Dangerous Burning Fluid.

We desire to call attention to the mountebanks who travel around the country to exhibit their non-explosive oils. They show that it is impossible to explode their particular brand, and they give as a reason that it has been treated with certain chemicals in away to remove all danger.

Nobody pretends that naptlia, alcohol, ether, and the like, are explosive. They can be lighted and burned quietly and in the most inoffensive manner. It is only when mixed with the oxygen of the air that an explosive compound is produced, and-this part of the experiment is naturally submitted by the exhibitor. It requires considerable skill to prepare just the right mixture of light

oils

and air to insure suc

cess, and it is under cover of this difficulty that the dealers in adulterated

oil3

escape

detection. Unfortunately, just the proper mixture is sometimes formed in lamps as the

oil

isexhausted, and the fatal explosion

takes place. The number of accidents from the bursting of lamps is very small, and it is not the question of explosion that should attract the mo3t attention. By far the greater number of deaths and losses by fire have arisen from the ignition of the lamps or cans, either from the breaking of a lamp or some careless handling of the pctroltum —the ignited fluid spreading over the clothing of the person, or on the floor, is what does the damage. It ought to be understood that there is no chemical th.it will make an oil safe the patents and claims on this subject are sheer imposi tions. The only way to make an oil safe is by distillation, that is, removing from it all oil or naptha that will take fire below 110 deg. Fahr.

Any oil that can be lighted on its sur face by a match, and will continue to burn without a wick, is unsafe. Sperm oil, rape seed oil, and the refined petroleum can be poured upon the floor and a match applied, but they will not burn it is necessary to heat them to a high point before any vapor will come off that will take fire from a ta per and continue to burn.

Any oil that, when poured intoasaucer, wilKake fire and continue to Bliin as nl cohol does, is unsafe, aner ought to be dis carded at once. Such an oil contains vola tile compounds which eangive rise to ex pi sive vapors, and if the lamp breaks may occasion the most dangerous burns We must, therefore, warn all persons from using such oils about the premises.—Jour nal of Applied CMrnktry.

Farmers' Wives.

THE reading of essays by the ladies is one of the exercises which give life and iuterf st to the meetings of the Springfield (Vt.) Farmers' fjlub. From or.e of the essays by Mrs. Daniel Rice, published in the Vermont Farmtr, we copy the follow ing paragraph

Did you ever think of the amount of thought requisite to plan three meals a day for three hundred and sixty-five days in succession To prepare enough and not too much, and for those living at a dis tance from the village, to remember that the stock of flour, sugar, tea, etc, is re plenished in due time? Do you ever think of the multitude of her cares and duties She must rise early to prepare breakfast or oversee it Perhaps there are children to wash, dress and feed, or to get ready for school with their dinner There is baking, sweeping, dusting, making beds, lunch for the men, maybe—dinner, supper to be made ready at the proper time—the washing, starching, folding aDd ironing of clothes—take care- of the milk, including the making of butter and cheese and the inevitable washing of dishes3 In autumn there is an additional work of picking, preserving, canning of f*~ -Iry ing apples, boiling cider, mak pie sauce, with the still more unplea .ask which fells to her lot in butchering time. Then there is hayicg, harvesting, sheepshearing, etc., when more help is needed, bringing an increase of her labors. Twice year comes house cleaning. By the way, of all the foes a housekeeper has to contend with, dirt is the greatest. She may gain a complete victory, and think to repose open her laurels after her semiannual engagements—but it is only temporary. The en:my soon returns, and even elaily skirmishing does not keep it at bay. There is the mending, too. 8ewing machines are great blessings, but they can't set a patch or darn the stockings. I d"n't mention these things by way of complainine of woman's lot in general or asking for her any rights which she does not p«sess. I don't know as there is any remedy in the present state of the world. It seems to be one of the evils of life which must be borne as we bear other ills —but what I do ask is a due appreciation of the important part that woman acts, and a concession that her labors, mental and physical, are as mat, all things con-1 sidered, as those of the other x. Wo-1 man are not so childish that a little sym-'

pathy now and then, or acknowledgment of their efforts and sacrifices make them imsgine their esse worse than it is. I tell vou, men and husbands,' it doeth good like a medicine,' and many a poor, crushed, broken-down wife and mother is dying for want of it"

J. V. FABWELL & Co., Chicago, are daily receiving fresh importations from manufacturers in Europe, and now have on sale the best stock ever offered in any market. They thoroughly understand the wants of the Northwest, and merchants buying of this house will see such goods only as are adapted to this latitude. They will find their goods selected for them, and can buy such quantities as they need, replenish their stock often, and thus avoid the loss of carrying over an old steck.

OLD PREJUDICES ARB DYING OCT. New facts are killing them. The idea that invalids weakened by disease can be relieved by prostrating them with destructive drugs, is no longer entertained except by monomaniacs. Ever since the introduction of DR. WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTERS, it has been obvious that their regulating and invigorating properties are all-sufficient tor the cure of chronic indigestion, rheumatism, constipation, diarrhea, nervous affections and malarious fevers, and they are now the standard remedy for these complaints in every section of the Union.

Died Suddenly

Heart Disease.

How common is the announcement. Thousands are suddenly swept into eternity by this fatal malady. This disease generally has its origin in impure blood, filled with irritating, poisonous materials, which, circulating through the heart, irritate its delicate tissues. Though the irritation may at first be only slight, producing a little palpitation or irregular action, yet by and by the disease bccomee firmly seated, and inflammation, or hypertrophy, or thickening of the lining membrane, or of the valves, is produced. How wise to give early attention to a case of this kind. Unnatural throbbing or pain in the region of the heart should admonish one that ail is not right, and if you would preserve it from further disease, you must help it to beat rightly by the use of such a remedy as shall remove the cause of the trouble. Use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery before the disease has become too seated, and It will, by its great blood-purifying and wonderful regulating properties, effect a perfect cure. It contains medicinal properties which act specifically upon the tissues of the heart, bringing about a healthy action. Sold by all first-class druggists. 581

Medical Mistakes.

It took the faculty about a thousand years t« discover that the best way to cure diseases was n«t to render the patient too weak to contend with it Within the last twenty years, however, the whole system of medical practice has heen changed for the better. In diseases or complaints caused by exceesive heat, for instance, the doctors no longer recommend the reduction of the inviid's strength by prostrating medicines. The vast success which has a'tenrted the use of Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters as a remedy for debility, has given even the most prejudiced members of the ola school an iu eight into the ODly true and rational theory of cur®. Cantharides, calomel, and overpowering doses of opium, are now among the obsolete nos trume of another age. The lancet, once as much the legitimate weapon of the physician as the sword is of the soldier, is seldom drawn from its case. Tfce principle of life is no longer drained from the veins by the qoart, and water-gruel for the ?trengthless invilid has, ceas.d to he considered an appropriate diet. Vigor is the motto of the lational members of the profession, and they understand, at last, the value of a sterling vegetable tonic. So, atso, with the peoplo atlarg" and without consulting medical me at all, they have adopted the bitters »g household remedy, thereby economising both cash and health.

Note the fact that Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters is sold in bottles only, never .n bulb, and that the abortions springing up iu various parts of the country, and sometimes offered as substitutes for the great national specific, are all utterly worthless.

PERRY DAVIS' PAIN KII.LEK is an excellent regulator of the stomach and bowels, and ehonld always be kept on hand, especially at this season of the year, when so msny suffer from bowel complaints. There is nothing so quick to relieve In attacks of Cholera.
