TERRS HAUTE, INBIAlNA..

Friday Morning, October 27, 1871.

The Next State Campaign The approaching State campaign, of 1872, is not assuming the prominence usual, in either political party, heretofore, during the fall preceding an election. Hitherto, it has been customary for the Democracy to hold their nominating convention, for State officers, on the 8th of January—tho anniversary of JACKSON battle of New Orleans and for the Republican party to follow with its convention on February 22d, the anniversary of WASHINGTON'S

birth day. For some un«

known and inexplicable reasons, both parties have, for many years past, adhered to these days, which appear to have been marked with a white stone, as "Jucky days," in their political calandars after the manner of the ancient Romans The prospect now is that both parties will abandon their old days and hold heir respective conventions at later dates.

In our State, the political canvass has heretofore, commenced too early and consequently, continued too long. There does not seem to be any good reason why candidates should be selected, and a cam paign organized, from eight to nine months before election day. This habit has inflicted both political parties, of Indiana, with needless waste of energ and vast expense, and has resulted in no advantage to either. The only plausible argument in favor of this course is, that by early nominations, the interilal strifes of the parties and the individual bicker ings and personal controversies of candi dates for nominations may have longer time to die out, and the party thus been abled to draw its lines closer, if its ticket is selected and put in the field at an early day in the year of the election. This argument may be true, to some extent, but it does not furnish any overpowering reason for the countless inconveniences and annoyances, to the parties, which follow in the wake of such practice.

At the present time, both parties, this State, seem to be holding off. There is but little said, among the leaders of either, as to the approaching campaign But few candidates are appearing now, compared to the hosts who have usually been "advocating their claims," at a cor responding season, in years past. There i.4 some "prospecting,'1 in both parties, at this time, for the gubernatorial nominations, on the part of individuals. Oc casionally too, persons are heard of, in various parts of the State, who are anxious to be put in nomination for some of the State offices. As yet, there has been no general movement, on either side, and and the political chaldron of the State, is comparatively cool.

It now appears to be probable that the State tickets will not be nominated this year, as early as usual. The Democracy have assumed to take the lead in this matter of nominating, and have clung to their 8th of January Convention with great tenacy. The Democratic party however, has no hope of success in the next canvass and its leaders have arrived at the conclusion, if we may credit tain signs, to postpone their State Con vention to a later day. The New Albany "Ledger," one of the leading Democratic papers of the State, has recently stated "by official authority," that the Conven tion of that party-will not occur on the 8th of January, as usual, but will be tie ferredtoa later day. If this proves to be true the probability is that the Re' publican Convention will also be post poned.

In this section of the Stale the general feeling among Republicans is favorable to holding their Convention at a later date than usual, and, so far as we are ad vised, a similar wish prevajls in some other parts of the State. The habit of the Democracy, in making an early nomnation, has, hitherto, apparently forced the Republican party to a similar course, If this usage is abandoned by the Demo crats the reason for a similar one, on the part of Republicans fails and will doubtless result in the postponement of their Convention until some day nearer the election than customary heretofore.

A Return to Specie Payment Depcn dent upon the Popaiar Will. If it be true, as we have insisted, that prices depend upon the quantity of the circulating medium, and that the effect of its present redundancy are not only generally injurious, but especially unequal and unjast upon certain most important interests, we may well inquire, How long is the present system to be permitted to exist? The answer is readily given: Just so long as the people are willing to endure it—not a moment longer. It is entirely within the power of Congress to enact such laws as will secure a gradual but certain restoration of the specie standard. The people have only to demand it. When the National Treasury is overflowing with a surplus revenue, and engaged in paying bonds not due under ten or fifteen years, can it not redeem its notes payable on demand? Can it not at least withdraw a part of its greenbacks? The condition of the country in its trade and industry is such that the necessary contraction is not only perfectly feasible, but entirely safe, and would be signally advantageous to all its great interests.

The question, however, still remains: When will the nation demand a return to specie payments? To this the answer is plain: Just so soon as the parlies interested reflect upon the subject, and realize, as they can not fail to do if they will reflect, that they sell by a gold standard, while buying with paper money so excessive in quantity as to cause them an actual loss of 25 to 30 per cent, upon all they send to market.—Lippincott's Magazine.

ALONG the line of the Union Pacific Railroad are millions of acres of rich government land which may be obtained under the provisions of the Free Homestead act. By this law every head of a family, widow, or unmarried person over the age of twenty-one years, may have eighty acres as a free gift if they will come and occupy the land. The emigration to Nebraska has been about sixty thousand since last March.

IT shows a lack of consideration and good sense to keep a callcr waiting in a too often dark and cheerless parlor for ten or twenty minutes while you dress yourself elaborately. If possible, receive your visitors promptly, and in any dress you may happen to have on, provided it may be neat. Moreover, parlors always should be supplied with books, pictures, or something attractive to callers, so that they need not sit in gloomy idleness if they are forced to wait for vou. ....

WHAT I KNOW ABOUT FARMING.

BY GAIL HAMILTON.

Alas! I am in an evil case. I have made an assertion which I can not prove. I spoke of the attraction of city life to country folk, and contrasted the erect figure and elastic step of the lad who went to the city and made his fortune, with his prematurely bald, bent, rheumatic comrades who fought it out on the farm and down come» Mr. Greeley upon me with a regiment of uncles, aunts, and grandfathers, all farmers, all straight, smooth, hairy, and hundreds of years old, and marshals them "in opposition to my naked assertion."

And 1 can not answer back. It is all very well to bring on your bright-eyed, heavy-haired ancestry to compute and confound your foes, but think of the she bears that would come out of the woods to tear me to pieces should I go around among my kinfolk and acquaintance agd say to one and another, "Go up, thou bald-head. Go up thou bald-bead and shew thyself to Horace Greeley, in proof of my veracity." No, my "naked assertion" must still stand unclothed upon, for I can not afford to pay the price of a wardrobe. Yet I did draw from life, not upon imagination. My painting was a portrait, and no fancy sketch. My generalization may have been wrong, but my observation was right—unless, indeed, I am called on to prove it in a court of law, in which case I shall not only deny its correctness, but shall stoutly maintain that I never made it.

And no more than I can prove my own statements, can I disprove Mr. Greeley's but I can do the next best thing, and show that they do not amount to anything. I admit that his family are all as tall, and hale, and old, as he represents, though I have seen noxe of them. But I have seen him. Now, he says he is the "bald"est and the "bent" est of the whole crowd, thinks he works harder at sixty, than his farming friends did at thirty, with all his hard cily work and city carc, he has a face like the full moon for roundness, and fairness, and placidity, and his voice is the voice of tranquilly, and his step is the step of abstraction, and undisturbed by hurry. When, therefore, he arrays his farming friends against my farming facts, I simply set his city face against his city facts, and if that is not a victory, it is at least a dead lock! We are just where we were when we started, for the Greeleys are all handsome together, and ruled out of Court.

What I know about farming is that as it exists before my eyes. It is hard work and wearing work, and uncertain workor rather uncertain wage. In the long run I suppose a man is as sure of getting a living off a farm as anywhere else, but he is tolerably sure of not getting much more than a living. In that sense, in deed, farming is certain work. Mr, Greeley's own figures show this, farmers are healthy, happy, and wise, of course it is immaterial whether they are worth two thousand or two millions dollars, but as things go, the prospect of working hard for ninety-four years, and never have more than two thousand dol lars to show for it, is anything but an enchanting one. Mr. Greeley may sing idyls all his life, but his good, calm face, his exalted position, and the rumors the fortune he has gained and saved, and lost, will overpower his idyls, and lure young life to the city with a stronger at' traction than all the bright eyes and ringing voices, and slender purses of his highland-clan can counteract. It is no matter how many fail. We do not see the failures, and we walk by sight. We hear nothing of the journals that die in their infancy. We know only how vie toriously the "Tribune" has lived. We do not see the countrv-born paupers perishing in the city alms-house. We only see Horace Greeley calling no man master. We do not go up from the coun try farms to be the ninety-nine failures, but the one success.

But when Mr. Greeley asks "whether our loving Father and Friend has so ordered His creation that obedience to His commands make u« 'early wrinkled,' and so forth, I say at once, No. But he has so ordered it that if we don't know how to obov them wisely, we suffer just as much as if we refused to obey them willingly I will not say that he has ordered us to till the ground, but He has so arranged matters that the one thing indispensible is to till the ground.—Therefore I firmly believe that farming must one day be profitable. It is indeed becoming so. But in multitudes of cases it is not so. I do not deny that ignorance or thriftlessness may be the cause. I only say that farming is a work which requires so much more brains, science, skill, than many other occuptions, that ignorance is more fatal. I think it requires more shrewd ness and sagacity, to be a successful farmer than it does to be a successful shoemaker or tailor, and that the reason why farmers work harder than their peers in trades, is not because they are less intelligent, but because their work is more exacting. The boy who is not bright enough to make new discoveries or inventions in farming, may be bright enough to tend a grocery, and too bright to be a mere routine farmer. But if the corner grocery will tire of him, and he is too proud or too lazy to come back to the farm, don't let him go begging to Mr. Greeley and say I sent him. I scorn him! I scorn any one who will whine rather than work. I never saw farming made easy or particularly lucrative either to manor woman and neither stake nor scaffold shall force me to say that I would not rather be sitting in my own library, writing for "Wood's Household Magazine," at a hundred dollars a word, than digging potatoes al a dellar a bushel, or churning butter at fifty cents a pound. But if Mr. Wood rejects my papers,-and I refuse to dig or to churn, but join "the never-ending procession of the multitude who crawl on tha knees of their spirits," begging Mr. Greeley to give them something to do—why let him hand over a page of his own manuscript to each one to decipher, and see how quick the procession will disperse.—From Wood's Household Magazine for November.

AN English physician states that in a single year he, as coroner for Middlesex, held a hundred inquests on children found suffocated in bed by the sides of their mothers, and in nine cases out of ten he attributes these deaths to the gross ignorance of the mother with regard to the laws which govern the life of the clild. Such ignorance seems amazing to those who realize that an infant's lungs require air, but indicates the necessity of teaching physiology to women of all classes, and of giving to

Of the fortunes of farming, compared with those of other occupations, I am not competent to speak. Indeed, the only way in which I see how a person can ever become rich, is by writing. There, you do what you like, what you would rather do than not, what, you would do any way, and are paid ten times what it is worth even when you are cheated. Yon please yourself on high wages'. But to accumu late a fortune by making a half-cent profit on a pound of sugar, or a yard of cloth, or a bushel of potatoes, is rolling the stone of Sisyphus. And farming seems to have the steadiest run of unsteadiness. Wheat is up, and your crop is down with a tor nado. Next year you have a magnificent harvest, but so have your neighbors, and the price is nowhere. This year your whole farm raises three apples. Last year the trees were loaded* and the market would not pay for transportation The cranberries flourished like a green bay tree, but an early frost nipped them in the green. The peaches and grapes promised well, and a hail-storm destroys the wJwle year's growth. Hay is fifty dollars a ton, but the drought has starved your fields. The marshes at last were fruitful, but a sudden north caster carried your liay-stacks out to sea.

Too Poor to Marry.

From Harper'« Bazar-] "The young ladies expect too much," said Spendhtrift, the other day. "Look at the amount of ready cash invested in one of their toilettes I Where is the young man who can weather such a steady draught on his purse, and prosper? I tell yau we are too poor to marry." Nobody contradicted him. I dare say that he was too poor in self-denial, too rich in selfishness. "Now I'm a single man," he went on to say. '*1 can take my summer journey where I please, to the tune of several hundreds, and not pay up for it. I don't have to go on foot when I should prefer to drive, nor wear shabby bioadcloth, nor economize in my ties, nor be bothered with home made shirts and cheap boots and Milton jewelry. You see, one can't do justice to cne's self and one's wife too on a small allowance both lights are hidden under a bushel." Very true, perhaps, from Spendthrift's poin of view but somebody says that two people can live happily and comfortably on the superfluities of a bachelor that two together spend less than each separately. How many fami lies can we .not count who3e yearly allowance would scarcely keep Spendthirft in cigars and opera tickets, yet who dress sufficiently within the fashion to escape observation—certainly the best of taste, since it is as vulgar to be overfashionable as it is disagreeable to be beyond the pale of that arbitrary dame families who have their little picnics into the country, a thousand times more memorable than Spendthrift's yearly sojourn at Long Branch whose few stolen hours of reading, while the baby sleeps or the kettle boils, is worth whole libraries of the other's whose one evening with Nilsson or Feebler corruscates across a lifetime to whom one rendering of "Faust" affords more entertainment, more pleasure, than Spendthrift's whole season, when he no longer vibrated to the music, nor was touched by the poet's wand and translated out of himself, families where the daughters do the race credit, as well by their housewifery skill as by their ladylike accomplishments, whose SOPS are the progessive men. "Moreover," continues Spendthrift and his followers, "the women of to day make marriage-an impossibility to us by their utter inability to superintend a household." It is true that incapacity wastes as much as deliberate extravagance but •then incapacity is only the effect, of which money is the cause. Money marries money and the daughters of these wealthy homes have something pleasanter to do, to their thinking, than learning to cook, or to utilize raw energy in other economies, which, perhaps, requires the greater ability. It is notorious that it is not the very rich nor the very poor who reduce housekeeping to a science—the poor, having little or nothing to work with, being bad economizers—but the middle class, to whom it has happened, by nice processes and careful experiments, to make both ends meet in their expen ditures, so that at last it becomes a posi tive pleasure to see how far one may stretch a certain sum of money, what elastic principle resides in gold or green backs, what beautiful results may be achieved by a slight outlay. Therefore

I say to Spendthrift and company, if you wish for good housekeeping, by all means marry on a limited income, and afford your wife and children the opportunity of exercising their native skill and every power grows with use, before long there will be as great a supply of house: keepers as there is demand. Garnet de clares that, for her part, she would prefer to marry on a salary, and be "just a little nipped," and be obliged to piece out the carpets every spring, darn the table-lin en, turn the sheets, remodel her gowns— putting a back breadth in front, making anew waist of a gore design her own bonnets oul of bits of her wedding satin and illusion lace, fashion the boys' jack ets from their father's coats, make Ruby'i waistcoats from her old black silk, and cut and contrive to some purpose, "There would be genius in that," says she. "Any body can make an appear ance with plenty but it takes intellect to give scantiness the effect of breadth, to make a little go a great way. And then one often knows a surer pleasure in going without a desired object than its posses sion could possibly bestow. The dia monds in the jewelers' cases are not half so dazzling as my imagination pictures them. If I were to bring them home, they would lose a great part of their charm. So I have my imagination which can turn out whole Golcondas at command, and the jeweler has his diamonds, and we are both content." And this is one of the women whom Spend thrift is "too poor to marry"—Spendthrift who buys so many suits that the moths take pity upon him, who wears only the costliest ties, whose linen is finer than silk, whose jewelry is of the richest and simplest pattern, whose gloves fit like another skin, whose perfumery is Paris ian, whose cigars are the choicest importation, who dines at the most fashionable restauiant, and whose tailor talks of re tiring. No wonder Spendthrift and his friends are too poor to marry! But, my friend, when these things have had their day, and have lost their bloom when purple and fine linen no longer satisfy your heart when to be fashionable is not to be happy, and when the interest of your companions has strayed away from you to their own firesides when pleas ures have grown tame for want of an appreciative sharer when travel is a bore with no one to listen to your gushing, and call it eloquence and poetry when no body remembers your birthdays when you have met with business reverses, and have felt the cold shoulder of the world —then, perhaps, you may decide that you are not "too poor to marry," after all But the tardy boy was whipped at school, and that "not impossible she" may have married old Bullion yesterday—mind, I don't defend her—for a home!
