Let Congress remember that the Republican policy of equal liberty, and of honest elections as its guarantee' is entrenched in the profonndcst convictions of the intelligent American people.

The methods which it pursues lead as directly and surely to civil commotion as its ruthless policy of slavery extension twenty years ago. The people of the United States would hardly submit to a government which they believed to be the result of fraud, and consequently the worst kind of usurpation; and the first duty of good citizens, therefore, of every party, is to demand laws which shall secure, as far as practicable, that rightful votes only shall he honestly cast and honestly counted.— Harper's Weekly.

A Serf’s Love.

Some years ago, a Russian nobleman was traveling on special business, in the inte nor of Russia It was the beginning of winter, but the frost had set in early. His carriage rolled up to an inn, and he demanded a relay of horses to carry him on to the nextstation, where he intended to spend the night The inn-keeper entreated him not to proceed; for, he said, there was danger m traveling So late—the , wolves were out But the nobleman thought the man merely wished to keep him as a guest; he said it was too early for wolves, and ordered the horses to be put to. He then drove off, and his wife and his only daughter inside the carriage with him. On the box of the carriage was a serf, who had been bom on the nobleman’p estate, to whom he was much attached, and who loved his master as he loved his own life. They rolled over the hardened snow, and there seemed no sign of danger. The moon shed her pale light, and brought out into burnished silver the road on which they were going. At length the little girl said to her father .- “ What was that strange, howling sound that I just heard ?” “ Oh, nothing but the wind sighing through the forest trees,” replied the father. The child shut her eyes, snd was quiet. But soon she said again: “ Listen, father: it Je »ot like the wind, I think.” The father listefied; and far, far away in the distance behind him, through the cleat, cold, frosty air, he heard a noise which he knew too well the meaning of. He then put down the window, and spoke to his servant: “The wolves, I fear, are after eta; make haste. Tell the man to drive faster, and get your pistols ready." The postilion drove faster. But the same mournful sound which the child had heard, approached nearer and nearer. It was quite clear that a pack of wolves had schntqd them out. The nobleman tried to calm the anxious fears of his wife and child. At last the baying of the pack was distinctly heard. Bo he said to his servant: if When they come up with ns -do you ■ingle out one, and fire, and I will single out another; and while the rest are devouring them we shall get on.” As soon as he put down the window ae saw the pack in foil cry behind, the large dqg wolf at their head. Two shots were fired and two of the wolves fell. The others instantly set upon them, and devoured them; and meanwhile the carriage gained ground. But the taste of blood only made them more furious, and they were soon np with the carriage again. Again two two shots were fired, and two fell and Wjßty devoured. Butthecarriage was speedi' overtaken and the post-house wasyetfar distant The nobleman then ordered the postil lick to loose one of his leaders, that they Bright f"*na little time. This was done, and the poor home plunged frantically into the finest, and the wolves after him, and sue soon tom to pieces. Then another horse was sent off, and shared the same fate. The carriage labored on as fast as it could with the two remaining horse* ; .but the post-house was still distant. At length the servant said to the master. “I have served yon ever since I was a child,-1 love yrih aa well as my own seUL Nothing now can save yon bat one thing. Let me save yea. I ask you only to look after my wife and little ones.” The nobleman remonstrated, bat in vain. When the wolves next came up the faithful servant threw himself against them. The panting hones galloped mi with the carriage, and the rnriea of the post-house just closed in upon it as (he fearful pack were on the point of imaldng the last fatal attack. But the traveler* were safe. The next morning they went oat and saw the place where the fiuihftil servant had been pulled down by the waives. His bones only were there. And on the spot the nobleman erected a wooden pillar, on which is written, "Greater love hath no man than this, that »aum lay down his life for hi# friend.” “Bat God commendeth his love toward S&WV* wore yet sinners, .

Condition of the South.

It has been the earnest hope of all Republicans that the day for. stem measures on the part pi the General Government towards the States lately in rebellion, and especially for all military occupation of the South, hud passed—the lawless and rebel lious element having been subdned by the better sense of the people of that section. Such is still the general hope among temperate men of all parties; but it must lie confessed that recent developments arc strengthening the friend* ot stringent measures. Such seems to ba 'the opinion of the President, as well as of prominent men in Congress who iiave not been distinguished by any spirit of vindictiveness toward the South, and who would, still less, allow themselves to be instrumental in creating a popular panic for political purposes. As the political purposes to be subserved by a distortion of the facts concerning the Ku Klux element become less possible, we may place the more confidence in the candor of such reports as reach us from the disturbed districts. Accounts of outrages; principally upon colored citizens anil their families, fill the newspapers; but these cannot always be relied upon as authenlie evidence. In the way of official reports, we had, recently, that of the Governor of Texas, of certain notorious outrages in Ilill and Warren counties, of that State, where not only were the murderers of negroes allowed to go unpunished, but they were liken by force from the State authorities, and released by those claiming local authority and apparently having the support of the people in their localities. Governor Holden, of North Carolina, assured the President that allairs in liis State are getting desperate, and that, if not checked by some authority stronger than his own, they will soon drift into utter anarchy. Late advices show a more alarming condition of affairs in South Carolina, where armed men have tom up railroad tracks to prevent the progress of United States troops, and where the Governor has deemed the Legislature in such danger of an attack by insurrectionary forces that he has posted pickets on all the approaches to the Capitol. He has called upon the President for 4,000 troops to suppress the insurrection, and represents the State Government as in an almost helpless condition, owing to the scarcity of funds and the secret opposition of moneyed corporations, including the railroads, which refuse to transport troops and supplies without cash “down.” There seems to be no doubt of the continued existence of the organization known as the Ku-Ivlux Klan. Their- work, done in their peculiar way, a ppcars frequently in nearly all the lately rebellious Slates, and in Kentucky, which was nominally loyal. A recent issue of a Macon, Ga, newspaper, whose editor is evidently, by his speech, in sympathy with the movement, cautions the fraternity against any operations of the mere scarecrow order, characterizing them as “ child’s play,” and advising the league to reserve its es-

forts for deeds that tell. The writer alsocautions the league, of whose strength he boasts in the same breath, against doing anything very violent at present, in view of its apprehended effect on legislstion at Washington. The evidence which the Investigating Committee assigned by Congress to this subject has elicited, has not yet been made public, but the members of that committee authorize the statement that it sustains the claims of the Southern Republicans that a state of lawlessness dangerous to the lives and property of loyal citizens now exists in a large portion of the territory of the late Southern Confederacy. Why not, since the South is reconstructed and readmitted, let the State authorities maintain law, and Congress stand alooff is a pertinent question, after all these facts arc recited. Why not leave the President to aid the Southern Governors as he would the Governor of Illinois in case of an insurrection and a call for help? The answer is that the nation is interested in maintaining the purity 6f elections and the rights of those whom its constitution makes "electors. Butler’s bill, and any other bill which Congress is likely to pass on the subject, will have special reference to elections, and the provisions which it will contain will be those deemed necessary to the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, the fact being, as now understood, that the Southern practice of intimidating the weak and the few operates to prevent fail* elections in many localities.— Chicago Tribune, March 8.

Make a Roller.

No farmer should be without a roller. It is invaluable in making the ground hard after the spring grain is sown, thus helping to protect from drouth, and what is better, preparing the ground for the mowing machine, after the grain is cut and the grass grown. A cast-iron roller is the b6st, but one can be made of wood, and if the farmer has leisure, and a suitable tree, he can do it himself, and thus save a few dollars. Take the butt of a white oak (chestnut will answer), cut it three feet and a half long, and then on to each end spike an inch-and-a-half plank a foot square. Through these and into each end of the log exactly in the center, bore holes six inches deep. Drive into these holes an iron inch-pin. Now, hang the log, either on some sturdy crotches, or otherwise, and then hew it until perfecly round. Take two walnut staddles ten feet long and four inches through at the butts. Flatten them on one side. Bore a hole im each to receive the pins at the ends of the roller, bring the little ends sufficiently near for a horse to walk between; flatten the upper sides in front of the roller, and then bolt thereon a foot-wide inch-and-a-half or twoinch plank, with three bolts in each end. Instead of a whiffle-tree, have two small irons made, one for each thill, to hitch the draft chains to, so that in turning, the horse will pull on one side instead of both, and, with the further addition of some hold-back irons, your roller is done. When wanted for use, put a small boy (or girl) on the steadiest horse, and it w ill earn in one day more than the three dollars, at the outside, that it cost to make it, and if always kept under cover will last an ordinary lifetime.—• Hearth <md Home. ’ ■ ... —The latest specimen of female enterprise in New York is that of Martha L Smith and Ada M.

How to Keep a Churn from Frothing Over.

Hati’Eniko one day to visit the house of a friend who kept a cow and made but ter, I there saw a simple method he used to overcome the great trouble ot all butter mnkers using the old fashioned nprigbt chum, viz..- the ovcrfl<rt?l)ig of the cream during the process ofTtoUrning. His plan was ns follows: Take the body of the churn and cut a groove around the inside of the mouth, almut three inches from the top and three eights of an inch deep, and then remove half the thickness of the wood, making a shoulder all around; then take the cover and cut it to fit nicely in side, and you have now done sway with all the old nuisances of cloths, tubs, pans, etc,, heretofore required to save the cream that Mowed over. Any man, almost, can do this, or the chum may be taken to a carpenter and treated for a few cents. Many an idea (if less consequence than this, is patented, but all may take this one for what I gave for it.— W. A. Maekeruie, in Scientific American,

Pertaining to Plaster.

At a late meeting of the New York Farmer's Club, W. M. Tomlinson, of North Urbana, N. Y., asked the savants to reconcile the difference of opinion which prevails as to the proper way of sowing plaster With grain crops, some choosing to drill it in with the seed, while others prefer to scatter on the surface, after the seed is sown. “It is claimed that by putting it in with the seed it helps the crop from the outset, giving a start which keeps it ahead of surface-plastered crops. On the other hand, it is argued that, as the principal gain in the use of plaster is derived from the atmosphere, surface application best secures this, and hence it is to be preferred. What says practical science? Would the answer vary with different soils?” Mr. Curtis—as plaster is an absorbent of ammonia, it is better to sow it on the crop and let the rains following wash it down to the roots. This is a gain to the plant, for if first put into the ground it will absorb the ammonia in the soil which is already there, or it must wait for exposure to the surface to do its full duty, which exposure might not take place until the next crop. Plaster does but little good on wet ground, and its benefis-vary considerably one season with another. Sometime its effects are almost marvelous, and then again they cannot be seen. On dry loam or gravelly soil sown on clover, it often doubles the crop. In Glenville, N. Y., lands rejected fifty years ago as worthless, now are, by using clover and plaster, worth one hundred and one hundred and fifty dollars per acre. Sow plaster on the' manure heap and in the hen house.

How to Keep Canary Birds.

Many persons have difficulty in keeping their canary birds in good health. One who is experienced iu their care, says: Place the cage so that no draft of air can strike the bird; give nothing to healthy birds but canary and rape seed, mixed with water, cuttle fish bone, and gravel on the floor of the cage; also, occasionally, a little water for bathing; the room should not be overheated; when molting (shedding feathers) avoid drafts of air; give plenty of rape seed slightly moistened; a little hard-boiled egg, and cracker grated fine is excellent; by observing these simple directions, birds may be kept in fine condition for years. Bad seed kills most of the birds that die; to which it might have been added, that canary birds arc not only fond of, but benefited by having often a leaf of cabbage, piece of apple, or other green food, whiqh serves to keep down the tendency to fever, and prevents constipation. Our birds usually bathe each day as regularly as any one washes the face, and with apparent benefit, too. When birds are sick, and inclined not to eat well, remove all the food for a day, and then only give soaked bread, from which most of the moisture has been squeezed.— Exchange. '

Cutting off the Wrong Head.

An old farmer was out one fine day looking over his broad acres, with an ax on his shoulder, and a small dog at his heels. They espied a woodchuck. The dog gave chase and drove him into a stone wail, where action immediately commenced. The dog would draw the woodchuck partly out from the wall, and the woodchuck would take the dog back. The old gentleman’s sympathy getting high on the side of the dog, thought he would help him. So putting himself in position with ax above the dog, he waited lor the extraction *>f the woodchuck, when he would cut him down. So an opportunity offered, and the old man struck, but the woodchuck gathered up at the same time, took the dog in far enough to receive the blow, and the dog was killed on the spot. For years after, the old. gentleman in relating the story would always add.— “ And that dog don’t knp\y to-this day but what the woodchuck killed him.” The Chicago Silk House.— The largest American manufacturers of Sewing Silk and Machine Twist are Belling Bros, ift Co., the sales of whose wholesale houses at Chicago, New York and Cincinnati, extending throughout the Union, last year reached $750,000, the Chicago house, at 56 and 58 Wabash avenue, taking the lead.
