g R 5o g inous whisperings of a renewal of the French and Gergman war are wafted to us from Europe, but it seems. _probable that the grengr part of the breeze is oceasioned by the lively im~ agination of the correspondents of eastern newspapers. ' It is certainly true that the -French have imbibed a deep-seated hatred for their German conquerors, aud probably. sometime in the future, will seek to retrieve their falle fortunes by an appeal to arms.— The French are proverbially a wars like peoble ; they rest their faith very largely upon the chassepot and rifled cannon, andpay much more attention to the perfecting of the mitrailleuse than they do to improving the morals of their |nation, If France has been humbled, it has only smothered for a brief period her military spirit, and &i--ready it seems difficult to hold that, spirit in check. Kashness and fmipet: uosity - were probably invented in France, 'and Frenchmen have a superior claim to them as national characteristics. In this fact lies the great danger to the French nation. If the h'atr¢d to Germany were of the cool and calculating kind, it would be much more likely to meet with gratification, 'but to remew the late war any I@time within the next. ten years would seem to be the very hight of ,Freniph folly, and hence, all rumors to that effect appear absurd. One thing is certain; France isin no condition to fight even a second-rate power at this- time, Her resources are great, but she is saddled with a gigantic debt? and t)as lost the greater part of her a;rma*nent. Her once powerful army is not only broken in spirit, but it has lost its vitalizing energy and is but little b‘eétter than a mob of untrained malitia. | To attempt a renewal of a con~ fliet with the foremost military power of the age would be madness, and even a Frenchman who is not a born idiot, must so look upon it. But with all these guarantees of peace there is evident uneasiness manifested throngh~ out the Provinces of Germany, and a desire is quite universal that the gov‘ernment, keep ‘well prepared for the vigorous crushing of any outbreak that may occur. From the German standpoint it seems absolutely essential that peace should be secured by measures of rigid force, and the French will probably pay dearly for any rebellious spirit they may be indiscreet enough to manifest. - Open war between the two nations is far from propable ‘at this time, but smothered animosities will sooner or later find vent in the renewal ot the conflict, and that conflict will most likely result in the dismemberment of one of the nations and willé compel it to assume a’place among the' second or third class nations of the continent. "

WE knew a man once (he lives yet ; hope he will read this paragraph) who prayed night and morning, preached Sundays and was a rich farmer besides. His wife milked the cows in all sorts of weather, cut most of the wood, built the fires, churned, “economized,” and died of consumption in the prime of life. He puta weed on his hat, tried to resign himself to the “dispensation, of Providence,” when he ought to have been tried for woman-slaughter in the first degree, and sentenced to chop wood and milk cows in the rain the balance of his life. We don’t quite believe in capital punishment which is why we don’t suggest hemp and the gallows. :

FEEDING CHICKENS.—In feeding wheat screenings as obtained-from the mills they should be soaked in water eight or ten hours or at least washed, before feeding, to soften the white caps, gwell- the shrunken kernals and distroy the poisenous dust. Corn meal should always be mixed with boiling water for chickens. Qni/ons. tops as well bottoms, should be cut fine and fed daily. They are very stimulating and superior to many medical preparations recommended for sick chickens. ' A daily feeding ot onions tends greatly to ward off disease, ‘

WATERING TEAMS OFTEN.— Horses and oxen at work need water often. The plowman carries his jug of water or leaves his team to rest while he goes to the house for a drink, But the team works harder than the driver and probable needs drink as often, yet many teams are taken out early in the field, where there is no water; except in the driver's jug and work five or six hours before they get a drop. Isita wonder they areinjur: ed by drinking to much when they are led to the spring at noon or evening.

The National Cigar Holder that oc~ cupies the Presidential chair, is becoming very uneasy about the political situation. He has discovered a handwriting on the wall, and it tells him that the people consider the material which composes that Cigar Holder is mere sham. Ashis chances for a re-election grow less, Grant becomes more solicitous for the welfare of the Grant and Dent families and he is now courting favors with the Labor Reformers.

Our object in calling this convention is for the purpose of perfecting a State organization, with the viéw to placing workmen in positions to reap a few of the benefits and emoluments which are at the present time manipulated by professional office seekers and leeches, who pack conventions and buy votes of those who have no regard for themgelves or Him who made them to be the equals of all man kind; and redressing the many wrongs and griev~ ances with which the mechanic, farmer and laborer bave been oppressed, by placing men in power who ‘pledge themselves to labor to effect ‘such changes as will bring about re\iarmation in the 80{?1'“!"6,0& After many years of suffering and disappointment, we have come to the conclusion that we will have to organize to accom‘plish_any thing, that will benefit each other, and at the same time save our country from the gang of political sharpers and unscrunulous office hun‘ters, speculators, bankers etc., that have managed to get control of all avenues, to profit and emolument, to the great injury of the working classes.— They have now in their poseession almost all' of the public domain, (which we claim belongs by right to the farmer and mechanic who are willing to cultivate it and produce the necessaries of life.) They are receiving double interest on their capital, part from the Government on bonds and part from the people withoyt taxes, placing the burden of sustaining our Government upon the working classes. We are of the opinion that the laborer is worth his hire, and any legislation that affects or impairs it, to the injury of the laborer, should be repealed, and we will work to place men in positions of trust that will work to attain this result.— We claim that capital should be invested in the different branches of mechanical.interests in order to give employment to laborer; and further that the sooner we stop the giving way of public lands to moneyed monopolies, that money will be invested in manufacturies and beneficial improvements. ~'We call on you, fellow workmen, to ‘unite with usin this great work of reformation, feeling that the time has ome for working men to take an important . part’ in the affairs of the Governmen), and to legislate honestly, without fear or favor, for the time is not distant when the Workingmen will rule the destinies, not only of this great nation but of some of the old monarchies of Europe, and therefore it behooves us to be up and doing. We invite all be they Democrats or Republicans, te join us, for the time has passed for Workirgmen to permit themselves to be made the instrnments by which robbers and thieves place their hands in the treasury of the Government, thereby robbing the people. | For the purpose of rectifying those grievances we desire you to meet with us in convention the Bthday of June, 1872, in New Albany. To this convention all are invited who indorse the platform adopted by the National ‘La~ bor Reform Convention at Columbus, Ohio, February 22, 1872, and all who desire those mnch needed improvements in the laws of our country. Arouse yoursélves, and let the country know that Indiana. has a population of Workingmen who are alive to their own interests, and are fully qualified to.judge and vote for themselves, and let the world know that ‘Workingmen can governa nation as well as those who think' they are alone made to fill places of public trust. Every arrangement possible will be made with railroads and hotels to make your visit to this city agreeable. " Respectfully, ; JOB. C. MARTIN, Chairman. : WILLIAM SEVILLE, ; ; IsAAc H.

ONE SOUND BEECHER. — Rev. Thos. K. Beecher,|of Elmira, N. Y,, and a brother of the Plymouth Church man in Brooklyn, is not disposed to longer support the Radical party because of its patriotic professions, while it i 3 fuming with dishonesty, rotteness and corruption, Daring a recent lecture in the Opera House in the city of his residence he presented his hearers with this graphic picture : “] hear a knock at one of the doors of my house; I answer the summons, and see before me a man with a face and head swollen with small-pox in its worst and most malignant form. He holds in his hand a fair and beautiful white lily which he offers me. I tell him I love the lily itself but I can not take it, owing to the very peculiar circamstances under whichit is offe red. And so the Republican party—corrapt and festering as it is—comes to me and holds out its platform and.says it is a pure and good one, made up of morality and justice: and all that, but I do not feel like taking it from such a source,” = - el

JOINT grass is often troublesome in the cultivation of corn and tobacco.— The strong roots send forth new shoots each Spring and not only exhaust the soil, but overrun the erops. On a farm recently purchased which was covered with joint grass, I put sheep early in the season, as soon as the grass stared, after which I plowed ‘the land to the depth of three or four inches, as far as the fibers reached, I then thoronghly dragged the ground till the light roots covered the surface and again the sheep were tnroed into the fields, In a short time every vestige ot the roots were destroyed and the sheep had enriched the land 1} percent. _ Pour brine ti?mtmw of the roots onge or twice, if the sheep do not eat b Wm*%m histles; artichokes, in the earlyspringiion =

Mark Twain and the Cats.

So much, already. has been written and told concerning the life and histo~ ry of this genius that we propose here' merely to record an e_xtmct,gom one. of his bright and sparkling speeches recentlrv,idelivexea before a social meeting of literary men:— . “When I was fourteen, I was living with my parents, who were very poor, and correspondingly honest. %e had a youth living with us by the name of Jim Wolfe. He was an excellent fellow, 17 years old and very diffident.— He and I slept together—virtuously—and one very bitter winter’s night a cousin Mary—she’s married now and gone—gave what they called a candypulling in those days, in the West, and they took the sausers of hot candy outside the house into the snow, under a sort of old bower that came out from from the eaves—it was a sort of an ell then, all covered with . vines—to cool this hol candy in the snow, and ‘they were all sitting around there, and in the meantime we were gone to bed, we were not inyited to this party, we were too yonﬁg’fVl The young ladies and gentlemen were assembled there, and Jim and I were in bed. There was ‘about four inches of snow on this ell, and our window looked out on to it, and if was frozen hard. A couple of tom cats—it is possible one might have been of the opposite sex—were assembled on the chimney in the middle of this ell, and they were growling at a fearful rate; and’ switching their tails about and going on, and we counldn’t sleep at all. Finally Jim eaid, ‘For two cents I'd go out and snake them cats off that chimney;’ so I ®aid, ‘Of course you would;’ he said, ‘Well I would; I have a mighty good notion to doit;’ says I, ‘Of course you have; you have a great notion to doit.’ I hoped he might try it, but I was afraid he wouldn’t. Finally I did get his ambition ap, and he raigéd the window and climbed out on that icy roof, with nothing on but his socks and a very short shirt. He went climbing along on all fours on the roof towards this chimney where the cats were. In the meantime these young ladies and gentlemen were enjoying themselves down under the eaves, and when Jim got almost to that chimney he made a pass at the cats, and his heels flew up and he shot down and crashed through those vines, and lit in the midst of the ladies and gentlemen, and sat down in those hot saucers' of candy. There was a general stampede, of course, and he came up stairs dropping pieces of chinaware and candy all the way up, and when he got up there—now anybody in ithe werld would. have gone into profanity, or something calculated to relieve the mind, but he didn’t, he scraped the candy off his legs, nursed his blisters a little, and said .*I could have ketched them cats if I had had on a good ready.’ ”” ;

Caught in his Own Trap. ; A girl, young and pretty, and above all gifted| with an air of admirable candor, lately presented herself before a Parisian lawyer, e “Monsieur, I have come to consult ‘you on a grave affair. I want you to oblige a man I love to marry me in spite of bimself. How shall I pro~ ceed ¥ : i : The gentleman of the bar had, of course, a sufficiently elastic conscience. He reflected a’ moment, and then, be-~ ing sure that no one overheard him, - ‘Madamoiselle, according to our law, you always possess the means of foreing a manito marry you. You must remain on three occasions alone with him; you can then go before a Judge and swear that he iz your lover.’ - “And will that suffice, Monsieur? ~ ‘Yes, Madamoiselle, with onefarther condition.” | : o Well | G “Then, you will produce witnesess who will make oath to having seen you remain a good quarter of an hour with the ‘individual who has trifled with your affections.’ : L ‘Very well, Monsieur, I will retain you a 8 counsel in the government of this affair. Good day.” : A few days afterward the young lady returned. She was mysteriously received by the lawyer, who scarcely gave hér time to seat her self; -and questioned her with the most lively curiogity. - | 5 = ‘Capilal, capital’ S ‘Persevere in your designs, Madamoiselle, but the next time you come to consult me gi:\e me the name of the young man you are going t 6 make so. happy in spite of himself.” : A fortnight afterward, the young lady knocked at the door of the couwsel's room, No sooner was she in than she flung herself into a chair, say{ng that the walk had made her bxfeat{ess. i SUNE Pro e

Her counsel tried to reassure her, made her inhale salts, and even proQ! pose to unloose her garments. | It is useless Monsieur,” she said, ‘I l am much bg_g.en’ . Lt i ‘Well now, tell me the name of the | unfortunate mortal.” W “Well, then, the unfortunate mortal, be it known to you is yourself,” said the young beauty bursting into a laugh. ‘I love you, I have been here three times tete-a-tete with you, and ‘my | four witnesees are below, ready to ac~' company me to a magistrate,”’ gravely continued the narrator. = The lawyer thus caught had the good sense not to get angry. The most singular fact of all is that. he adores his young wife, who makes an’ excellent housekeeper. = ~ °

'The Feather In Grant’s Cap. ' = All 'of the Administration papers laud General Grant to the skies, because the National debt bas been reduced under bis : Admmistration, and'give this fact as the %reatdrmq;x why hefshﬁ;):ldv :ﬂf reb-:hcted resident by the people. At the same time they grgggmf:: the'ﬁhinisttﬂﬁgn of Andrew Johndon a failure, and the most corrupt of any in the history of the country. - e - Let us look at & few facts.. In three years and one month, Grant reduced the debt $209,000,000. In three years and geven months, Johnson reduced the debt $470,000,000. Who did the better, Grant or Johnson? Fellow the Republican ar. gument to a conclusion, and Johnson is ‘entitled to the Presideney in preference to Grant by over a hundred million dolJars. But they will not carry their argu. _ment to a logical cinclusion. On the contrary, they denounce the Administratioh of Johnson as infamously corrupt. ‘. .‘; ohgson AOOI‘;m nl:; con(t}xol the thieves, and why ? epubßcan Congress passed the Tenure of Office act, and & Republiican Senate refused to allow him to remove .rascals from: office. T ' Inone case, that of Callicott, a Collector of jnternal Revenue in New York State, Johnson :suapogded' him; but the Beuate held bim in office. J udge Nelson tried him on an indictment for defrauding the revenue, and -sentenced him to ‘State’s prison, and be remained in prison for six weeks, before ‘the ‘republican Senate wouM consent ‘to his removal from office.. ~ : i The corruption under Johnson’s Administration was almost wholly committed by Republicans, whiom Johnson could not ‘remove from office, because his hands 'were tied ; and nearly all these _men_ are 'now in office under Grant, and he could remove them if he would. Let the truth be known, and what an empty, false and delusive bubble will appear Grant's claim to the confidencé of the peeple.—Chicago i News. T e P

. How Interest runs Up. T Believing that -it is a matter of very great importance to all classes of cur fellow citizens to have a full appreciation of the great difference in the power of capital to increase at low and high rates of interest, (not forgetting that our na:’ tional wealth has only increased the past fifty years at the rate of about 814 per cent. per annum), .we again present the following statement: .- = i If one dollar- be invested, and the ins terest added to the principal ennually, at the rates pamed, we shall have the following result as the gccumulation ot one hundred years: = ¢ : F b One dollar, 100 years,atl @ cent... . $3% e et B e L e iyl ahe g Au.'_;:f" ‘49 908 ‘“ "0 & 9 -4k ..; : &m L Ao st g 0 “ G s IR R e ok BETS “ okl et e S 1N 4D “ ; 6" 18 e 15,145,(”7 M e e e LI In the light of the forégoivngf“eﬁg-i ures we‘ask the thoughtful consideration E of the fact that the rates of interest paid 1n this country are always exorbitart and: sometimes, as at the present, terribly op pressive. And also that all this can be remedied only by the issue of pational’ paper money made stgble in valne and of proper volume by its interchangeability at the option of the holder in sums ot one thousand dollars or its multiple with bonds of the government bears ing a fixed equitable rate of interest.— ‘The Grocer's Price Current, - ;

Pennsylvania Polities. . The Federal office holders in Pennsylvania have succeeded in momipating a State ticket ot their own kind of men, but -the Indications are-decidedly unfavorable for its prosperous issues at ithe polls in October. . The nomination of ‘General Hartranft for Governor is considered by somié of the ablest and most influential papers in the State as a selec., tion utterly unfit to have been made, and’ unworthy. of support. In th.e;repuilicanz' 'strongholds .of * Lancaster and Chester counties the party papers are outspoken’ in their opposition, and refuse to support the nominations, designing them as “weak and répresenting not the people but a clique of corrupt men." - Gen. Hartranft bad his repctation considerably soiled in the investigation of the Evans® defalcation case. It ‘was shown that he was a member of a: ring which had for years fattened on wnoney- fraudulently obtained from the public treasury, But this eircumstance only. the more bespeaks his fitness as a-representative of the element which bas. pre-arranged the renomina tion of Gen. Grant. . The Democrats of Pennsylvania haye determined to unite on a ticket with the dissatisfied Republicans, and if such a coalition can be effected the fate of the extremists in that State may readily -be foretold.— Huntington Demoerat. s

Homn. M. -C. Kerr, ; In speaking of the able and exhaustive argument presented by Hon. M. C. Kern, -in support of 8 tariff for revenue only, the Seymour Suz says: o o 00 This speech marks Mr, Kerr ag a statesman second to none, and will: place him high upon the nation’s roll of great men, Mr. Kerr is one of the foew men of the present day who have been faithful to the people in all things. Coviaeelina S Indiana would -do herself bonor, and Mr. Kerr no more than justice to put him at the head of tbe ticket in the present canvass, as a candidate for Governor. . - He would carry more than 100 Republieans in Jacksop.county, and we believe the-Second District would give him "ten thousand majority over Gen. Browne. The nominee for Governdr ought te be put upon the ticket for the purpose of being 'Goyernor in fact, if elected, and not simply to carry sonre one else into that offfce;: & it T Al mnaan e
