Rotten Democracy-The Eleetion Farce in the City of New York.

[N«w Y«* (Iky IT) to CtadMoU Co. - Nxvaa in th® annala of New York chi emery waa an election characterized by nectar fraud® than the one which took ptae® to-day. The city awarmed with re peater®, who voted openly and with im pnnlty In moot of the district® the inwectoH generally either being in league with th® eooundrel®, or deeming it of no nee to have them arrested. Tn th® First Ward a repeater attempted to vote on Judge Hogan's name, in the Judge** presence., and the policeman on duWtafc b booth refused to arrest him, although ordend to do to by the magistrate, Very little challenging waa done, and only three repeater® were arrested. In the Fourth Ward nearly every Re publican name waa voted on by repeaters before the rightful voters arrived at the poll® In the Eighth Ward two hundred and eight negroes had registered, and they as aembled in their church and marched in a body to the polls, but found that one hundred and sixty of their names had already been voted on. An old Irish woman tried to cast a bal lot in the Fifth Ward, but it was rejected, much to her disgust. A gang of 400 repeaters paraded the Eighteenth Ward, and voted in nearly every district, without let or hindrance. Repealing in the Twenty first Ward was confined to Districts Nos. 4,5, and fl Here the inspectors made every one of them swear the votes io, which they did without flinching; but no one was arrested. In one district only did the negroes dare to exercise the franchise, and there but eight out of twenty seven mustered up sufficient courage to free the hangers on at the polls. - In the Second, two of the strong-mind-ed women attempted to vote the Republican ticket, but were sent home disgusted. In the Ninth Ward, a colored man mistook his district, and was arrested, but released. In the Third District of this ward an old colored woman sought to deposit a vote for her husband, who could not come himself The negroes turned out strong in this ward, and voted the straight Republican ticket. A coal yard, corner Eleventh street and University place, in the Eleventh Ward, was the headquarters of a gang of forty repeaters, who repaired there after voting in one district, changed their clothes, and j then went and voted in another. The Seventeenth Ward was overrun with gangs of repeaters, but two members of which were arrested. This was the case all over the city, the election in every ward, without exc;pti<.n, being given up to the mercy of the repeaters, and not more than thirty arrests being made all day. Very few of the respectable citizens thought it worth while to waste their time in casting a vote which would nit count, and the greater number of those who did attempt it found that repeaters had been beforehand with them, aud that they had their trouble for their pains. There never was a greater farce than' the New York election of to-day. [From the New Yo»k Evening Poet.] At 9 o’clock a respectable merchant offered his ballot in the Ninth Ward, when the following took place: Poll Clerk—This gentleman has voted once to dav. Voter—That is not so; I have not left my house. Poll Clerk—The record states that you have voted. Voter—l don’t care for your record. I have not voted, and insist on my right as a citizen to have my ballot deposited in the boxes. Inspector—We cannot go back on the record, sir. It appears that you have voted once, and we cannot receive a second ballot from the same person. ..... . The voter retired without further argument, amid the bantering and derisive laughter of the repeaters, who were gathered in full force.

Recent Astronomical Observations.

It is worth while sometimes in this busy age to take note how fast the world moves. A few years ago we thought of New South Wales only as “Botany Bay,” a flowery name for anything but a beautiful place in its humanity, whatever it may be in its natural features. Now, one colony alone, Victoria, has a population of nearly seven hundred thousand, onefourth of whom reside in Melbourne, the capital. That capital is distinguished, among other things, for its university, and tnat university for its observatory, with apparatus among the best in the world. The “ convict*,” if there is an appreciable number ofthat class in the now teeming colonies, may have their consolation at their inability to leave, in the fact that the latest news from the sun is theirs, til the constellation, the ship Argo. It is a round about way, to be sure, some indefinite millions of millions of miles. But modern science makes nothing of space. We learn from Melbourne that the star Eta, in the keel of the ship Argo, is now a star in fl ernes. And what ismore curious, we learn that the nebula, about which there have been so many theories, is the fuel which keeps suns in action. At least, such is the deduction of astronomers; and what we cannot dispute or successfully controvert, we may as well believe. The reasoning is as follows: When Sir John Herschel made his splendid observations on the Southern heavens, some thirty years ago, the star Eta, then of the first magnitude, seemed to be imbedded in nebulous matter. In 1843 it had declined to a star of the sixth magnitude, while the neb-

ulous matter had increased in splendor. Now again the star is increasing, and presents the appearance of a star in flames. And what is most remarkable, the nebulous matter around the star has disappeared. That this phenomenon is not due to the brightness of the star is proved by the accurate and wonderful apparatus which the astronomers now use. The nebulous matter is not there, and has really retreated from that star, or gone into combustion. Sir John Herschel's theory is that the nebulous matter is far beyond the stars in space. But the Melbourne astronomer, M. Le Suer, suggests that the star Eta and the nebulous matter are neighbors, and the star is now increasing in brightness—it is digesting the nebulous matter which it has absorbed. A* the nebulous matter increases again the star Eta is expected to resume its former splendor; that is to say, the fuel, will be kept in regular supply. But what has this to do with our sun?

The inference is that it has its nebulous surroundings, of course invisible to us under ordinary circumstances. But it is argued in the London Spectator that we do “ see the solar nebula? in the crown of glory which shines around the sun during total eclipses. The peculiar contorted structure at portions of the corona, and the variable brilliancy and extent of the object during eclipses, seem clearly to point to the conclusion that our sun, like Eta of Argo, has its nebulous surrounding, and that, like Eta of Argo, too, our sun is a star in flamee.”— ' Philadelphia Ledyer.

Selection and Treatment of Roses.

The rose stands at the head of the entire list of flowers; and every home should be made beautiful and fragrant with them. To succeed in their cultivation, the Inexperienced should observe the following considerations: 1. Instead of selecting varieties from the catalogues of nurserymen, which, because of glowing descriptions are perfectly bewildering, it is wiser to request some reliable person who grows them for market to furnish, according to bis own Judgment, a few varieties,' embracing diversity of colors, which are strong growers and first rate bloomers. 2. While summer and climbing roses will grow in shadi-d locations with little attention, it is otherwise with moss, and also perpetual bloomer® These need kind treatment and sunlight. They should stand in rich mellow soil, kept free from grass aud weeds. And if the ground around them is covered with manure, in the fall or spring, they will repay the cost, by a more abundant yield of fine blossoms. 8. Close annual pruning will cause more new wood to grow, and consequently ensure a better show of flowers 4. Roses budding on the wild root, grow freely and blossom But they always throw up suckers from old roots that, because of vigorous growth, wili overrun and destroy the cultivated part of the bush, unless constantly watched and kept off. Hence tire inexperienced should always order bushes grown upon their own roots. 5. In summer, keep them free from the little slug or worm that works upon the leaves. In our nursery, we pick off' and destroy all leaves they are found on. But strong soap suds can be applied to advantage.—“ C. D. C..” in Western Rural.

Rules for Making Yourself Miserable.

Rule I.—Get up late in the morning, so as not to have time, to eat a wholesome breakfast before going to your business. Rule 2.—Rush at once to the ears, where you will sit from half an hour to an hour in an unventilated room, before reaching 'your place of business. Rule 3.—Wear a pair of tight boots, and allow your feet to get cold as soon as possible. Rule 4 —Eat peanuts, smoke vile cigars, drink worse brandy or whisky, between breakfast and dinner. Rule 5. —Lunch at a restaurant on baker’s bread, soggy potatoes, mince pie, and as many other abominations as you can. • Rule 6.—Do all your business in such a haste as to use up all your strength faster than it is manufactured by the process of digestion and assimilation 1 . Rule 7—Eat a hearty dinner at six o’clock of indigestible compound, neither nourishing nor healthful. Rule B.—Retire late, so you cannot possibly recuperate for another day’s work in the time allotted for sleep.— Herald of Health.

Suggestions to Those Using Stereoscopes.

A correspondent of the Elmira Advertiser furnishes that paper with the following: Ist. Examine the pictures you purchase, very carefully, to see if they are true stereoscopic views. The two pictures on each card should not be exactly alike, but should be taken at a slightly different angle. This “ parallax,” as we say in astronomy, gives the effect of “ solidity ” to the view. To test this, take some object in the foreground and see how it ranges with some object in the background in both views If the angle be the same, then the effect will be inferior. 2d. Unscrew the frame containing the two lenses, and turning it around so as to bring the former face to the back, screw it on again. The instrument will not look quite so workmanlike, but to the eye at least is much easier. I can use my stereoscope without pain, while formerly one or two views at a sitting was the extent my eyes could endure.

Flax Culture and Threshing.

Flax growing has become an interest o magnitude in some part's of the country, and is extending to new sections. Nearly a million acres were grown in the interior States last year (1809). Its culture is found profitable, and is likely to be greatly stimulated, now that there is a market, not only for the seed, but for the Jtber, and also an economical method of threshing and saving the seed. In addition to numerous oil mills which consume the seed at remunerative prices, many flax mills for the manufacture of the fiber or tow into bagging, are in operation, of which Ohio has thirty-four, Indiana ten, Illinois six, and Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, lowa, Mis souri and Kentucky one tq three each. On*impedipient to flax culture heretofore has been the incapacity of ordinary threshing machines to thresh it economically, owing to the tendency of the fiber or tow' to catch and wind on everything it comes in contact with. Tins difficulty, however, seems to be overcome by the Aultman <fc Taylor Thresher, made at Mansfield, Ohio, which is said to handle flax with as little trouble as any other gram. It appears that the same features which give this thresher an advantage in wet and>ad conditioned wheat, oats, eta.,—viz.: the entire absence of revolving shafts, beaters, pickers, raddles and rollers from the straw passage, and the peculiar and effective method employed to thoroughly shake the grain and seed out of the straw—enable it to take through the hitherto troublesome flax tow without hindrance, and turn out the seed with remarkable rapidity, fit for market.— Industrialist.

The Wear and Tear of Business Lite.

The cares and labors of business life are apt to tell severely upon the health and constitution ol the ardent, energetic business man, and when the reed of some sustaining agent is felt, stimulants that cause only a temporary exhilaration, and leave the system in a state of partial collapse when their first effect has passed off, are too often resorted to. As certainly as fire leaves Behind it. a residuum of ashes, the nse of the adulterated liquors of commerce produces premature exhaustion and decay. Touch them not. Tone and regulate the overtaxed vital machinery with Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. In that wholesome elixir, the alcoholic element, which is the purest derivable from any source, Is tempered by the choicest tonic, aperient, anti-bilious and antifebrile vegetable extracts and juices. To strengthen, recruit, solace and purify the system is the mission of the great vegetable specific. When the stomach is in a healthy state, the hilo flows regularly, the bowels perform their ofllce properly, and the telegraphic fibres of the nervous system are in perfect working order, an enormous amonnt of labor can he borne without risk or inconvenience, and the direct eftect of the Bitters Is to promote this vigorous condition of the functions upon which the nurishment of the body, and its power of endurance, mainly depend. The great tonic and alterative is, therefore, emphatically recommended for its remarkable strengthening properties, to all upon whom the responsibilities of life press heavily, and who feel like fainting under the burthen. A lively appetite, a splendid digestion, elastic spirits, and a marvelous ability id-withstand fatigue, are among the Messings.justly ascribed to the renovating operation of this palatable and powerful cordial, and as a spring and anmmer alterative, there is nothing in the materia medica that can be compared with it.

For the last few years the proprietors of the celebrated Plantation Bittkrs have been experimenting in the growing of tfadsaya Bark on the Island of Jamaica, and hare soun 1 , from actual testa, and by no means a mean experience, that this valuable bark can be grown with marked success only npon the mountains from 1,500 to 2,000 feet high. There th- forests are often bedewed with the early mitt, and this tree arrives at Its full per fectlon. Owing to the largely Increasing demand lor the bark required lor the manufacture of quinine, and also for nse tn the preparation of Plant atisn Butbrs, the procuring of It ha, been aso ar ce<f grr at anxiety to the proprietors, and seeing. as they did, that the Booth American supply would soon give out, took the above early precaution to fully supnb the demanu, and a slated and encouraged as ’hey are by the Engil*b government, at Jamaica, we have not the least doubt but they will succeed.
