THIS country is becoming famous for

I'acilic railroads. There arc now in operation the Union Pacific, Central Pacific, Denver Pacific, Kansas Pacific, Missouri Pacific, the Atlantic and Pacific and the .South Pacific Koads. Several other railroads with the word Pacific in their nameri aro also in contemplation. The Chicago Journal suggests that when thene roads are completed, the people ought to be suflicientlv pacified, so far as railroads are concerned.

TIIK Indianapolis Journal is confident that the "American people will ever remember with gratitude the agent at the Valentia end of the English cable, who sends the thrilling intelligence that Eu-

I:NIF: and the Imperial Infant walked out, near Hastings, where they have been stopping since their departure from Paris, lie says neither horses nor carriage were used. The very grave omission is made, however, not to mention whether the curled darling had his sangfroid with him at the tiiuo of the excursion. This fault tempers our admiration somewhat."

WHEN Democrats prate about a "reduction of the taxes," "high tariff'," a "better regulation of the currency of the country," etc., they should be reminded that in all the leading measures of the Forty-first Congress for lightening the burdens of the people, the Democratic partv, as represented in the Senate and House, were found stubbornly resisting. Whenever they had an opportunity of supporting measures that were calculated to reduce taxes or the tariff, or to regulate the national linanfce and the currency on a more satisfactory basis, they preferred to play the dog in the manger.

Two Lone Women*"

The Topeka (Kansas) Record says, some three years ago, two maiden ladies appeared in the vicinity of Oswnkee. They built a cabin of poles, which they carried on their shoulders over a quarter of a mile. In this habitation they have resided ever since, with no protector except a large and savage dog. They bought no land, but invested their money in stock. They now have 1!) head of cattle, 48 hogs, S horses, and a large outlit" of geese, chickens, etc. They manage all their business transactions without any outside aid. They cut and put up their own hay, chop their own wood, and do the same amount of work that two men would do under the same circumstances. They have no society, but appear to be women of fair education. The history of these women, prior to their ap pearance in their cabin on the Grasshopper, and the causes which led them to adopt this singular mode of life are involved in mystery.

HK.UXS VS. MACHINES.

15 ruins in the Private Soldier.

It has long been a current opinion with military men that it was of no consequence how ignorant or degraded the rank and tile and petty officers of the army were. They were merely machines, or "food for powder," and for this reason education and character were of no account. It may be said that the ordinary stuff of the British army is among the worst in the world. The rank and file of the Austrian and Italian armies has been little better. The French private and under officer has always been a man of more intelligence than his compeers in the armies mentioned above still lie has not been a man of education nor has he been valued for his brains.

This old military idea was prevalent in the beginning of our civil war. It was supposed that a highly organized and intelligent community, like that of New England for instance, or a very active and intelligent one, such as the Western, was not so well adapted for fighting as a rough, border, ignorant class, such as tilled the ranks of the Southern armies. lint never has the old military axiom been so overthrown as in the two great wars of Prussia. Her army was a whole people, the best educated in Europe. In the ranks and among the minor officers were the flower qf the nation—sons of professional bankers and gentry, and ordinary men of good training and education. It was an army from the common schools. "The universities conquered at Sadowa," said Kenan the schools overthrew the Emperor at Sedan. Never, probably, in the history of the world, except in our own civil war, were so many cultivated and subtle brains made food for powder as in the terrible slaughter at Beaumont and Sedan.

From the first day of the campaign, the itruggle, as in all modern warfare, has been one of brains. The remarkable and orderly transportation of such vast bodies of men, the perfect arrangement of supplies, the organization in the ammunition and ordnance department, which so surprised the world, were the fruit of intellect and study. Then as the army advances, they are found by their surprised enemy to know the mountain passes, the country roads, and every feature of the landscape as well as the" natives. This again is study. Von Moltke moves his pieces of fifty thousand men with the precision of chessmen, but this is becausc he and the officers know the country, as

Germon knows the divisions of ancient Attica, and the men are trained to a scientific exactness of movement.

With the French, as we all know, all i9 reversed. The transportation is irregular, the commissariat miserable, the ammunition only half supplied, and the intendance worse than nothing. The officers do not know their own provinces, iniss the country roads, and whole armies move in ignorance ot the enemy's proxirnitv. The men fight well but there is nowhere invention, or the vigorous use of the intellect on the great problem before them. The private soldier, the noncommissioned officer and the average of the officers, evidently are not men of education or training. In the Franco-Prus-sian war brains have conquered.—N. 1. Time-'.

INTERESTING PACTS

FKOM THE RECENT SPEECH

VICE PRESIDENT COLFAX.

A I

THE DKMOf'IlATIC KKCOKD. I have noticed recently, as a last card of our opponents, the preparation by their National Democratic Committee ol sample cards of goods, with the amount of their cost in gold in European nations, under their cheap wages of labor, and their price here in currency, under our American wages of labor. It is hard to see what they expect to gain by this. If they mean that this disparity could be remedied by cheaper wages for labor here, it might explain why, when Senator Stewart, of Nevada, and other distinguished Republicans, sought to pass a bill at the last session prohibiting the importation, under contract, of servile labor, and strengthening the law passed by the Republican Congress of 1802, which was intended to prevent the coolie system of slavery in this country, prominent Democratic

Senators talked against time day

after day, condemning its details, and finding fault with its provisions, as not satisfactory to them, until at last the great pressure of the annual appropriation bills caused it to be postponed until the next session. 1 will not assume that their object was to seek to manufacture political capital for the canvass out of it but I do say that their unwillingness to co-operate in a reasonable bill that could have been passed, and their prolonged and antagonizing speeches, when time was so valuable, and in a body where no previous question existed to stop an interminable debate, caused the postponement for the session of the bill I have referred to. As to the value to the country of adequately remunerated labor, I have already spoken, and need not repeat the argument.

Whatever the object of this election device may be, I have one comprehensive answer to make to it. That for every dollar the nation has to pay for interest on the public debt, for every dollar of taxation, internal and external, over the ordinary and economical expenses of the Government, a Democratic rebellion is responsible. I do not deny that there are, and were, many patriotic men inside the Democratic party. It is not my habit to arraign them, sweepingly and en masse, as their last National Democratic platform arraigned all of us as guilty of ''corruption and extravagance exceeding anything known in history," and "unparalleled oppression and tyranny and that if we won in that national contest, they would have to "meet a subjugated and conquered people, amid the ruins of liberty and the scattered fragments of the constitution!" But no matter what good men may still remain in its ranks, I speak of the Democratic party, its organization, its inspiration, its leadership, and its history. That is known of all men and cannot be denied. Three points in illustration of its responsibility, as a party, for the rebellion, and the prolonged conflict to suppress it, can never be argued away. 1. Every State which rebelled had a Democratic Governor. Every Executive officer of the Confederacy was a Democrat—its President, Vice President, Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of the Navy and Postmaster General," without an exception. Every leading commander of its armies was a Democrat. Lee, Beauregard, Wade Ilamp ton, Stonewall Jackson, Pemberton, ExDemocratic Vice President Breckenridgc, Hood, Sidney Johnston, and all. Of only the Republican party can it be said, that not a single one ever signed an ordinance of secession, or lired on our flag, or shot down its defenders. 2. The administration in power, which could have crushed it in its inception, but did not, was Democratic. Its President, Buchanan, gave it aid and comfort by proclaiming in his message of December, 1860, that "the Constitution has not delegated to Congress, or any other department of the Government, the power to cocrce a State into submission, which is attempting to withdraw or has actually withdrawn from the Confederacyas he called the United States and that "the sword was not placed in their hands to preserve it (the Union) by force." It was a Democratic Secretary of war who emptied the Northern arsenals of guns and filled Southern arsenals with them, thus arming the South, and also disarming the North. It was a Democratic Secretary of the Navy who scattered our navy to the ends of "the earth. It was a Democratic Secretary of the Treasury who stabbed our national credit in that dark hour, as he hoped to its death. 3. Every man who, inj the North, shouted No coercion "—every one who predicted that the rebellion could not be suppressed, every one who denounced all measures devised for its overthrow, every one who stigmatized the brave soldiers as Lincoln-hirelings, every one who demanded at the very crisis of the war an immediate cession' of hostilities, and insisted that the war was a failure, as resolved on in the National Democratic platform of 18G4, every one who branded the faithful Lincoln as a Nero or Caligula, was a Democrat in good and regular standing with his party.

Nor can it be forgotten that when Jeff Davis denounced Congressional confiscation, while the Confederacy were confiscating Union men's property, they were Democrats who echoed that denunciation when Jeff. Davis indulged his wrathful expletives at the employment of colore 1 soldiers to help put down his treason, they were Democrats who echoed his invective when Jeff'. Davis anathematized the Emancipation, they were Democrats who repeated his invectives. Thus, instead of a thoroughly united North, which could have crushed the conspiracy in a year, we had a divided North and for this prolonged war, with its terrible losses in blood and treasure, those who acted as I have stated, were responsible.

For our debt, therefore, and our taxes, they have a solemn responsibility, and cannot escape it. No show-cards, no sophistry, can relieve them from it and while taxes remain, every stamp that you put on a deed or a mortgage, is a stick-ing-plaster to remind you of a Democratic rebellion—Democratic in its origin and officers—Democratic in all the aid and sympathy it received in the North— and sorrowed over, when it was crushed by our gallant armies', only bv Democrats.

In fact, for the last twenty years it has seemed impossible for this Democratic organization, as a party, to get on the right side of anv issue, new or old. When border ruffians drove the people of Kansas from their polls, and by fraudulent votes elected a pro slavery Legislature, and finally sought to impose a hateful constitution, establishing slavery there on a people who almost unanimously denounced the Democratic party, which championed this wickedness. When the Dred Scott decision, intended to make slavery national and all powerful, was proclaimed, they cordially endorsed it. All through the war, every measure to strengthen the nation's arm and weaken the enemy's whether confiscation or emancipation, or colored soldiers, etc, was, in their opinion, all wrong or unconstitutional, and fit only to be denounced. When the war closed, and the question came up whether the insurgent States should be restored to the rule of the very men who had used their executive, legislative and judicial powers to organize the rebellion and to raise its armies, or whether every effort should be made, on the contrary, to organize them on a basis loyal to the Union, the Democratic party, in­

stinctively insisted on the former. When tax bills and draft laws became a necessity to the preservation of the national existence, they warred ^upon all their details as wicked and tyrannical. When the interest on the national debt could only be honestly lessened by showing the world that our national credit would be sacredlv maintained at the highest point by all parties, their speakers and presses denounced those who had lent us the money as if they were swindlers, and in every possible way sought to poison the public mind against them. When our greenbacks, whose ultimate value they had formerly discredited, were rising in value toward gold, they clamored for issues of hundreds or thousands of millions more, to verify their unfulfilled prophecies of evil about them. When President Grant commenced paying off the debt with the surplus revenues that his honest and efficient officers had collected, they denounced his buying the bonds at tlieir current value in the market of the world. When a Republican Congress passed a bill reducing taxation eighty millions per year, they registered their votes, as a party, against it. When the same Congress passed a bill to honestly reduce the interest on our bonds, by a mutual arrangement with our creditors, or by paying off our old bonds with the proceeds of the new, they voted against it. When it passed a bill to cnforce the Fourteenth tnd Fifteenth Amendments, with penalties only against evil doers and offenders, hey resisted it with vehemence and zeal.

When it passed laws for the restoration of the rebel Stales to representation in the Union, the Democracy condemned their provisions and fought them to the bitter end. Wiien a law to guard the ballot box at national elections was passed, punishing illegal voting, shameless repeating, and fraudulent counting, they denounced it and its penalties, as if the acts it punished were not the wickedest crimes against free government and republican institutions. And finally, when a war broke out in Europe that outraged the moral sentiment of the world, and, without provocation, Germany was compelled to arm for the protection of the Fatherland from invasion and despoilment, their leading organs, as instinctively as in the other cases I have cited, took the wrong side. It is this party—a party of reaction, of negation, of partisan opposition—whose leaders seem determined that it shall ever be on the side of wrong —which appeals to the people to-day to clothe them with national power.

THE llEPL'CLICAN RECORD. I turn from this record, which it has given me pleasure to review, to the record of the Republican party, which has been written on the brightest pages of our nation's history. Amid every possible embarrassment and stumbling block,.it has gone on in its noble work of liberty and humanity, of justicc and reform, of advancing progress and national development. Three years of the ten since it won its first national history, a recreant President so shamefully wielded the Executive power, that mistaken confidence and a sad assassination had given him, against the party which had honored him, by its bestowal, as to win sixty-live votes for renomination, and an endorsing resolution, from the National Convention of the Democratic party that for four years before had so bitterly opposed his election. War, for which it was not responsible, had filled the land with gaves, loaded it with debt, rendered unpopular taxation a necessity, and checked the national growth and its stately stepping towards its magnificent future. But, in spite of all these drawbacks, what has it done for the republic?

Look at the contrast Ten years ago men were mobbed and hung for saying they preferred free land. Ten years ago the overseer, the lash, the coffin, and the auction block. To-day, a race lifted from bondage into self-reliant manhood and womanhood. Ten years ago an arrogant oligarchy breathing threatenings against all who resisted their purposes. To-day none so poor as to do them reverence. Ten years ago, a nation, divided by conspiaray and treason, and a hostile government inaugurated on our soil. To-day, a nation united, and powerful because more free. Ten years ago a constitution recognizing property in man. To-day, a regenerated constitution guaranteeing equal rights'and national protection to the poorest.

Look, too, at the position our land occupies among the nations of the earth. With all the croakings of our enemies as to the burdens of taxation, the legacy of the rebellion in which our last National Democratic administration ended—with all the false charges that the poor are unjustly opressed, there is no nation in all the world to which the hearts and hopes of the poor in every country turn, as they do toward our republic. Go to the banks of the Shannon or the Rhine, to the Baltic or the Adriatic, upon the Alps or the Appenines, and to what land does the poor man look, with longings in his heart, hoping that he may there make for himself, and family that God has given him, a home, and enjoy civil and religious lib-, erty? All around the world, from nation to nation, and continent to continent you may ask this question, and the eager, earnest, answer is always "America'" Whenever the poor and the oppressed seek to better their condition, their thoughts, their hopes, their eyes, their hearts, are all turned toward this Republic of ours. Who can dispute or misunderstand this testimony of the toiling millions of every nation and language and creed? And is it not an irrefutabe answer to every charge that the Republic has been injured under the government of the Republican party?

And for all who come, with ther household goods, to become of us and with us, to share our destiny, to endure our trials, or to participate in our prosperity, to secure by their toil a home, to live and rear their children in the true spirit of devotion to our free institutions, there is room and to spate. Our Western mountains welcome them to their mineral wealth, without fee or reward. Our Western plains beckon them to the free farms and free homes Republican legislation proffers to all who will come and possess and cultivate the land. Or, if they prefer to live in the older States, in the workshops and factory they will find faithful labor remunerated far beyond the rates it commands in the Old World. THE FUTURE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTV.

The future history of the Republican party can be judged by its past and its pledges and its acts show what the future will be. 1. It will surely and resolutely maintain its work of enfranchisement, of re construction, of making all citizens equal under the protection of our supreme law against all hostile attempts—so that, by the final settlement of these questions, so happily ended and so faithfully to be maintained, the nation shall have stability and peace, and this once exciting issue be regarded as decided for all titjie. :2. The work of retrenchment of our national expenses—of the abolition of all needless offices—of the elevation and improvement of the civil service—and of the saving of every possible amount to the people—will go on as faithfully as during the past IS months. 3. The pledge of the last National Republican platform that "taxation shall be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the national faith will permit," will be faithfully carried out, as already inaugurated by the undivided Republican vote of the recent Congress and, as the national obligations diminish, the burdens of taxation increased as they were during the war expressly to meet these obligations, will be justly reduced. 4. The debt will be funded at a lower rate of interest, and "having been contracted for the preservation of the Union for all time to come, will be extended over a fair period for redemption," lessening largely, without doubt, the present monthly amount of its reduction so that

the same generation shall not be required to fight the battles of the Union,and also to paj' off'the entire cost of its preservation, by bearing heavy and oppressive burdens needlessly. 5. The revival of our American commcrcc—the development of our vast resource'?—the completion of the work of amnesty to the fullest limits of the liberal proffer of the National Republican platform—are all subjects worthy of, and that will doubtless receive, the fullest consideration and the wisest legislation.

Thus acting—faithful to the country and all its interests—faithful to the Union and its integrity—faithful to the people whose confidence and support has sustained it in all its trials—faithful to its brilliant record for the right—and faithful to every pledge on which it obtained power, a Republican Administration and Republican Congress will go forward in the work entrusted to them, and the nation, under their legislation will go on, prospering and to prosper. -I A:

Nothing like (iramiliar.

Nothing like grammar! Better go without a cow than go without that. There are numberless "professors" who go "tramp, tramp, tramp, my boys!" around the country, peddling a weak article, by which "in twenty days" they guarantee to set a man thoroughly up in the English language. An instance in point comes from Greenville, Ala., where a "professor" had labored with the youth of that people, and taught them to dote on grammer according to "Morris's" system. During one of the lectures the sentence "Mary milks the cow," was given out to be parsed. Each word had been parsed save one, which fell to Bob a sixteen-year-old, near the foot of the class, who commenced thus: "Cow is a noun, feminine gender, singular number, third person, and stands for Mary." "Stands for Mary!" said the excited professor. "How do you make that out?" "Because," answered the noble pupil, "if the cow did't stand for Mary, how could Mary milk her t"—Harper's for October.

The Dethroned Empress.

From the New York Tribune This vulgar man and weak Emperor was wholly unworthy of the spirited strong woman who was his wife and Em press. Napoleon does not appear mon contemptible when placed, as he has lately been by circumstances, in contrast with the noblest of his Marshals, than when now exhibited by his words in con trast with Eugenie. To the last he mean ly played the braggart, and threatened when all the world knew him impotent. "I shall return to Paris," he is said to have declared when departing a prisoner to Germany, "to exact a reckoning, not to give one." Eugenie, with greater dignity and nobility, left the Palace of the Tuilcries to join this creature, refusing as her last act to oppose the national will with force, and declaring as her last words of import to the world, "I prefer pity to hatred." After all, this mere woman of fashion, as the world has come to regard her, had noble qualities to make her beloved in her high station, and to awaken sympathy for her, since a crucl fate has made her this shallow impostor' companion.

Society Gossip.

It is considered very vulgar for ladies to use very strong perfumes in public.

It is said that it takes ten men nearly a year to finish :i handsome camel's hair shawl.

Jet trimming has come in fashion again and is used for trimming bonnets, cloaks and dresses.

The new styles of silks just imported are shaded in rich contrasting colors, and are very beautiful.

Yellow and red are the two prettiest contrasting colors for an evening dress for a brunette.

Saratoga was so cold last week that they had to have fires in the parlors of all the hotels.

A lady at Saratoga wears a pair of soli taire diamond earrings valued at twelv thousand dollars.

Large gilt hoop earrings, studded with jet beads, are very fashionable.

The women of Paris are subscribing liberally to the "Society for the Wound ed"—selling their jewelry, in some stances, for this purpose.

The woman who is born in Ihe month of September will be, it is said, round faced, fair-haired, witty, discreet, affable, and loved by all her friends.

At a wedding in New York recently the bridegroom having forgotten the wed ding-ring, a curtain ring was procured and used for the occasion.

Many ladies who do not like to hav their ears pierced wear a small gold wir behind the ear which clamps it in front and holds the ear-ring.

Large gold daggers, with jeweled hilt: have come into fashion again for the hair and are used to pin the heavy chatelaine braids together.

It is proposed to make chignons and curls out of spun glass, which is said to be more durable and cleaner.

Painting and enameling the face has become more of an art in London among respectable people than it has reached in either Paris or Vienna.

The fashionable programme for the day at Newport is breakfast at 10, bath at 11, lunch at 12, dine at 4, drive at dance at 'J and retire at 12.

The most fashionable fur to be used next winter, according to the New York Evening Mail, will be chinchilla. Ermine has gone entirely out of fashion, and is now used for opera cloaks.

Clara Louise Kellogg's cottage, at NewHartford, will be in the Swiss style, and is to be erected on a beautifnl spot about two hundred feet above the Farmington river.

The number of persons who have visi ted the live different watering places in this country this summer is computed at about one million. Of these, a very large proportion is from New York.

TheFrench style^of entertainments is to be adopted in New York next winter, where the refreshments consist only of cake and coffee, and where the people go early and leave early.

A wedding is to take place in New York in October, which will equal, if not excel, in magnificence, the old diamond wedding. There are to be twelve brides juaids, twelve groomsmen and twelve ushers, and the church decorations are to cost over $5000.

The new Boston dance is described by a Saratoga correspondent as a fearful and wonderful innovation upon the elegance of the round dance. It is styled the "Boston dip," and must bear off the palm for the most stupendous absurdity in the

Terp-

sichorean art ever conceived. When the couples whirl they sink simultaneously, as if their knee joints were giving way. The motion is suggestive of the rising and falling of a boat upon the sea, of seasickness, or weakness, of a going down into thegreat deep, with strong apprehension that they may not rise again. They are now swamped, and their friends greet them, when it is over, with manifestations of joy at their rescue.

GRAIN DRILL!

(Kuhn, the Celebrated Drill Inventor's last and best.)

A Force Feed Drill, Operated by Spur Geariuf/. No Loose Cog Wheels About It! impossible to Choke it—^The Feed Changed in

One Second—Will Sow Any Kind of Grain or Seed. Whether Clean or Foul. The grain is distribited by means of small double spiral feed wheels working in cups under the hopper these wheels carry the grain upward* to a dischargo opening in the cup and force it out, and with it force out straw xul other obstructions. It is utterly impossible to choko it, and as evidence of this fact the wheat we have in our sample machine is halt chaff, and by turning tho wheel it is carried through as well as clean wheat.

It will sow any kind of grain, and in any quantity desired. In other force feed drills to change the feed you remove one cog wheel and putin another and the cog wheels arc loose and liable to be lost. In the

Tho wheels are all fastened to tho drill, and the feed is changed by simply moving a xmall lever— it is done in ONE SECOND.
