THE RENSSELAER UNION. ' Thursday, May 28, 1874. - --—r-> - : *U

To the Western News Company, Chicago, do we extend thanks for a Volume of the poems of Clint Park-1 hurst, of lowa. Some passages in the volume are strong, some start ling and others quite pretty. Editors of neighboring papers who have been pleased to express a good wish for the success of our candidacy, will accept our thanks therefor. It would hardly be fair * to publish their compliments, when our competitors have not similar advantages. It is thought there will be quite ' a large vote polled at the primary election on Saturday. All who participate should have the gener- I ai good at heart when they make up their decision, rather than mere personal preference. Nominate a ticket ol tiie best men, and leave the result to work out air an~tntelligent people shall decidem October. - ~ On Wednesday, June 17th, the Republican party of Indiana will hold a convention at Indianapolis for the purpose of nominating candidates for Secretary, Auditor and Treasurer of State, Attorney General, Superintendent of Public Instruction and one Judge of the Supreme Court. Jasper county is ■ entitled to ten representatives in i this convention. Mr. George C. Merrifield, of ' St. Joseph comity, feels called to | seek the Republican nomination for \ Congress in this district. So does ! Mr. Sims Major, editor of the' Lapbrte Herald, hence his paper sneers at the People’s Movement jin Jasper county. Brother Major j should recollect his adventures I among the buffalo chips in Nebras-j ka, and not turn up his nose at the people he may want to vote for him. The South Bend Tribune says “People who think the Grange Movement is dying out are badly mistaken. It is on .the increase.” ; That is exactly how" it' looks"bver this way, and it is well for politicians to beware! Its current where its tide begins to flow in the present political campaign will be mighty, irresistible, overwhelming. For Right is right, since God is God, j And Right tiie day will win ; To doubt would be disloyalty, - ; To falter would be sin.

A MARE'S BEST.

According to the statement of Dr. Curry, editor of the New York Christian Advocate, Parson Brownlow imagines be has discovered an extensive mare’s nest in which there are several quite large eggs, llis theory of the Grange Movement is that it is the old slaveholder’s rebellion in disguise, “organizing powerfully for resuscitation and victory at every cost of principled- The old gentleman says this thing is perfectly under- I stood at Washington, where it is ' watched closely, but quietly. It is] seriously apprehended-this wicked Order will precipitate upon’ the next Presidential campaign a “fierce struggle to- preserve the • fruits of the “war,” hence, in his opinion, “the war closed two years too soon.” Such absurdity is laughable, and yet it excites pity, too. It is sad to see a political organization whose history is so brilliant and so ’ glorious as that of the Republican I party reduced to such barrenness of principles, that its leading spirits must resort to inventing old wives’ fables with which to —scare people into keeping it in power. Who but a conscienceless demagogue or a dotard would charge upon the pecple of the Northwest an intention of provoking civil war? What. section responded more promptly to the nation’s call for volunteers to suppress rebellion than this same Northwest, the Grange stronghold? Who were braver, more devoted or I better soldiers than many that are now Grangers? Who were more ! loyal? ’? . The issue today is not the conflict of ten, or even six, year# agq. Thea the question was whether free or slave labor should have supremaey in the United States—whether capital should own labor, or labor might be its own master. Thad problem and its attendant issues of repudiation and reconstruetion were settled, and penna-; nontly sottled, years ago, else ■ Republican orators and Republi- ■ can papers and Republican plat- * forms have misrepresented facts to the people. If the war of the i rebellion is not over and its issues' ■ 's. ' ' s .-O' t I are still unsettled, then is the Republican party a' stupendous fraud and a powerless imbecile. But the

party was not a band ; it did sueceod; the war is over ; itg>iirobleni's are settled. Anew isstiv is upon us. The .question now is not Shall capital, own labor? but it is Shall capital pay labor a fair compensation? I'pom this quest roil bangs the problem of cheap transportation. There m no question < f right to be discussed. It is not necessary to prove lli.it “tin 1-iuori r is worthy of his hire,” for tiie justice of‘tire proposition is self-evident. The result of this issue is phiiif to foresee. The struggle will be short and decisive, but there will be no ■ blood shed. It will not be necessary to appeal 'to arms. Justice can best be seemed by legislation, legislation is controlled by the ballot box, ami the ballot-boi is an engine wielded with irresistible force by an intelligent people. in a republican government the majority will rule, and the minority must submit. In this contest numbers lelU I’atieiree, perscreTCauce and time will work out a victory for the laboring mam No honest man, no just man need have tears for the future; this is the people’s cause, and they will take care of their liberties. Repub- j licans need not be afraid if they I will purify the party of its Butlers, its Sanborns, its Richardsons, its salary-grabbers, its monopolists and its thieves, and place the management of its machinery in the hands of its honest men. While TfitTpollcy of the Republican party was to benefit the nation, it could never be defeated. But when it j becomes plain that it is merely a I tool in the hands of knaves to aid them in plundering the public, good men will cease to vote the Republican ticket.

A Goodlander has planted 1,000 grape vines this season. Newton county consumes§22,ooo worth of alcoholic beverages annually. . “The Grangers are steadily increasing their numbers throughout the county,” say's the Laporte Jryus. William E.

The, fourth annual fair of the Porter county agricultural society will be held at September 30th and October Ist and 2d. Mushrooms are plentiful this year in the woods adjacent to Monticello, and boys are making themselves useful collecting these queer vegetables for food. Lieutenant Governor Sexton is billed for a speech at the' commencement exercises of Blbbiuing- | ton dav of July. Upon the Republican ticket for Marion county recently nominated at Indianapolis, Judges Horatio C. . Newcomb and Samuel E. I’erkins fare candidates for Judges of the ; Superior Court, Charles 11. Test for the Criminal Court, and James 11. Wright, Ex-Governor Conrad Baker, Clemens Vonnegut and William Woman for Representai lives in the General Assembly. Many a young man goes astray, not because there is want of prayer or virtue at hoine, but simply because home lacks sunshine.

If home is the place where faces are sour, | and fault-finding is fanever in the I’ ° . ascendant, they will spend as many hours as possible in the saloons.— . Valparaiso Messenger. Gen. Packard's last term in Congress is being filled up with a series oi faux pas that a new member should be ashamed of, much more a man who has been in Congress sb long as he has. His last one was a speech in favor of the Centennial §3,000,000 grab—ameasure that not one of his constituents in a thousand endorse.— Fortunately there were enough cool-headed men in Congress, who ’ had sufliceut regard for economy ■ in times like, the present, to defeat! the grab.— -South Bend Tribune. : ' .’ ' ■ '■■■ I Nineteen gentlemen have stepped j to the front “and announced. their | names, as candidates for the yariotis' county offices, in the Plymouth Democrat.

After' nearly a year's wqrk, and*. ■ the c’xpi nditure of a couple hundred ; thousand, the Constitutional Convention in Ohio has at last arrived at a majority decision on the form of a new organic law which the I people of the State are soon to rat--1 ify or reject. There was no ; unanimity in the labors- of the . convention, and it is expected that i the popular opposition to the new j Constitution will be strong. It is, j however, admitted that the.changes I which the instrument proposes to i make Hi the organic law,are, upon I the whole, for the better. The | new charter gives the veto power; it lengthens the terms of judges, ! and provides for the payment to ; t hem of.-a-« a-h ir y -wb iedt wild sc c nre ! competent men for the bench. — i Dojible- taxation, is forbidden, and j the principle of minority represent- ' alion is adopted. The question of. ■ license or prohibition has been • ’ evaded, instead of which there is pa double clause, one part for license ! and one against it, upon which the people are to vote directly—thus shifting tiie responsibility back to the electors. In view of the experience Ohio has just had with prohibition, and the political results last fall and the present spriii'g, there is little doubt as to the disposition that will be made of this question on a fair expression of public sentiment, and it. should be remembered that the action is now intended to~ decide ' the 'State's future position. The <piestion <d’ allowing Slate aid to railways is also relegated to the people, so that the real fight is yet I to come — lnter Ocean.

Double Flowers.

Rouble flowefs often have stamens and no pistils, sometimes pistils aud no_ stamens, and al-i other times neither. In the f irmer case,, doutfle—flowers are : rt-a■ lily obtained by dusting the pistils cl j shigl eflo we r s,, wi t h 11; e_ podim i-fr om ; the double. Double Petunias are j thus obtained. Hollyhocks also ■ mm be thus raised. Often double ; flowerswill have .-’ome good stamens ami pistils, and so fertilize [ themselves. Pinks. roses_andpllier_! r " ' : -■ - , things are instauees. The petals . jxf mmefolly remwvml,or the tender ovaries will I 'rot.— The first flowers that bloom on a plant have the most luxurious tendency, and will often of themselves produce double flowm-s. The Stcckgilly is an instance. The seed from the central or first spike of flowers will often produce all double flowers.

The Indianapolis Butter Convention.

■ In a little less .than four weeks a very important convention is to be held at Indianapolis'. It is one in which butter makers, butter dealers., and butterconsumers are interested. We refer to the second meeting of the Manufacturers of, and Dealers in Factory -and Creaiit ■’ cry Butter. This society was organized at W'is., on the 3d of last March, and adjourned to meet at Indianapolis on the 17th of June. We learn from various sources that deep interest is. taken in the forthcoming meeting, and that the attendance is be very large. The Buttpr and Cheese i Exchange of New York and the ! Produce Exchange of Philadelphia phavc-taken action in ird to this I movement; and .promise to aid all I th’ey can in the effort to advance ' dairy science. Probably in. no : branch of industry has there beenI a greater waste through ignorance ! than in the science of btttter-mak-i in”'. From this cause alone millI E> ; ioirs~of dollars are lost every year . ; by American and Canadian butter- j makers, and any society designed j to aid in preventing this sacrifice! cannot receive too much eucotir- ; agement. Mr. Daniil W. Dake,! of Beloit, President of the associ- ' ation, as we have before announced, has offered §1,600 in eleven prizes for essays on butter manufacture ; and the merit of these essavs is to be decided on at the Indiana Convention. They will no doubt draw ont some of the best! talent in the country, and their publ.ica j lion must give a new impetus, to - tire branch of industry of which they will treat. — ••Inter Ocean.

Fish, Scale Ornaments.

Among recent patents is that of preparing fish scales for use in the | arts, of vylnch the following is a ' specificatiofr: 1 The object of the invention is :to utilize the scales of several varieties of fish, hitherto thrown away as useless, and prepare them i for application in the hrts, by pro- ' ducing articles of jewelry, artificial ‘ flowers, and similar objects. This i invention consists in the process of 1 cleansing and purifying the scales , till the clear, horny substance or core of the same is obtained, which produces a new article of manufac- . time, which may be stamped into various ornamental shapes and dyed in all colors, for use in the arts. ! . Large scales are the most advan- ! tageous, taken from fresh fish. — ' Old scales cannot be used, as they i lack elasticity and clearness. The ' fresh scales are exposed for twentyI four hours to the action of pure fl and par--1 tially separating the outer layer of I organic matter. They are then I transfered to distilled water, being ! placed every two or three hours in clean water and washed therein I five or six times, which renders tli’escales soft and clear. Each scale is then riiobed with clean linen rags, then passed through a press having a linen lining so as to remove the moisture m the scales. The scales are placed for one hour in alcohol, and again rubbed and pressed, "when they..arc_<lry_an.d have a perfect clear appearance, a mother-of-pearl-like hue, and great elasticity and durability. The scales are used in this state, or they may be dyed with aniline_ and other colors, in the usual man-_ner,-to be stamped into . various kind of ornamentaLsliapes, leaves, and flowers, ami applied to the manufacture of jewelry and artificial flowers, for embroidering and inlaying wood, and other uses in the arts.

Window Plants.

“Begonia Rex is otrr finestwariety of begonia,”.isays-the- Cmmtry Gentltmim. ‘Hts immense leaves, tinged with crimson, its blotches of green and white, with its zones of silver,; give it a royal appearance and deserved popularity. The Rex is quite distinct from the other members of the begonia tribe.— J''uchsibdes, Sgutidersonu, and .fiora .;ue- of-a neat habit, with their ■ finely contrasted flowers of scarlet, rose mid while The Erccta multif ora is admired by many, as both its leaves ami flowers are attractive. Tire-Rex,- however, is so incomparably rich that the latter varieties hardly desrve to be classed with it. They need a warm, moist temperature, sixty to seventy-five,degrees, with nd change. Their leaves should be kept free, and contact with the cold window pane will blacken and - ruin them. Coleus are not to be recommended for window culture. Their sensitive nature requires cve'n temperature of the greenhouse. It should have a warm position, with~a. moist atmos r phere and plenty of sunlight that will not fall directly upon its 1 eaves. The lirst chill, howover, will blast it. The cuttings of heliotrope root very easily in either vials of water or sand, and if rooted in the spring' will, with ordinary attention, make fine plants for winter blooming. They should have a good, rich soil, lightened with a little sand. But their life is the bright sunshine. In fact, the name of this plant is derived from Greek words, signifying ‘sun’ and ‘I turn,’ as its flowers always turn their faces to the sun. Keep it in the pot, and in August, prune it closely. Do not spare, the knife, for with the new growth comes a profusion of flowers, which will blossom by January. Give it a,warm place, as high as sixty or seventy degrees; not Uoxer than fifty degrees. — ' Look out fur tiie red spider; fre- ' quent spongings will prevent his l ruining it. Smilax is a bulb, a j iTative of Sou.th Africa. It delights I in a rich, but sandy soil, and ■when I growing, plenty of water. Red spiders are also its enemies. Drive them away by frequent showering. It will grow well in a partially shaded location. Through the summer, keep it in the shade, with but little water. When re-potting in September, give it fresh soil, and stimulate with liquid manure. It is a graceful oriiainent for the parlor bracket, ani its festoons are invaluable for table or other decorations.” . It is announced in other localities that since corn meal and potatoes have reached their present gilt-edged condition, the aristocracy colder it vulgar to diet upon any other food. -

Chicago and South Atlantic Bailroad.

From advices received from Chicajfo'Sve learn that a meeting' of the board of Directors ol the Chicago and South Atlantic Bailroad Company was held last Friday sor 1 the purpose of filling the vacancy in the Directory occasioned by the ‘death of Maj. Nicholas J. Vail.— The Major was the managing director of the Company, and filled that responsible position to the satisfaction of the Board. Among the prominent candidates mentioned for Major Vail’s successor, are the names of James W. Masson, of Buffalo, New York, who is the present manager of the Canada Southern Railroad, and Col, Morgan, an old and well informed railroad President. The Chicago and South Atlantic Railroad Comj pany appear to be in earnest, and will undoubtedly put in this imporli ant position, some practical energetic Railroad man. The loti" illness of Major Vail has occasioned several weeks of unavoidable delay in maturing certain plans and arrangements essential to the general interest of the enterprise. If the newly appointed managing Director is a good business man, and full of energy, we may rely upon the speedy adoption of decisive steps for building jhe road. The President, from a clear conception of the situation, has matured a practical plan of operation, whieh he is now pressing upon the Company with Ins' usual" 'Zeal and energy, which, if adopted as now seems very probable, will soon afford tangible evidence of business and bring the matter in such a shape befo_rc_the people that they will feel safe and certain in the efforts they will be called" upon to make to aid the enterprise. The President will spare no efforts to start the work of building the road within the time specified by the contract, and after the work is commenced, and his plan of taking individual stock is adopted, will make a vigorous canvass of the line. He proposes that the work shall be commenced at Delphi, in June, and continue through to Chicago, as rapidly as the northern • counties come up with their quotas. These he believes can be raised in six weeks, and if raised, the northern end of the line will be completed during the present season. While work is going on north of the Wabash, the people in the southern counties, including Indlttn.ipol is, wTTI be induced to get their quotas ready also, so that the work may be prosecuted vigorously along the whole line. We believe everybody will see -wisdom in the I arrangement, under existing circumstances, and cordially lend their co-operation to the required extent. We believe it to be greatly to the interest of the Company to adopt this plan, not only in obtaining stock along the line of this branch of the road, but as a step calculated to inspire confidence along the whole route to the Atlantic. Another meeting of the Directors was called-for last Monday evening, at Chicago, lor the purpose of taking steps for the early commencement of the work. We hope next week to be able to inform our readers who has been chosen' as managing Director, and to give further assurance of the probabilities of the early commencement ofdhe work. We can scarcely "withhold the expression of our faith in the ultimate success of this great enterprise. Its great merits, its demonstrated advantages, its commercial necessity, place it foremost in the rank of allthe sc hemes lat ely projected, arid will act as powerful incentives to urge forward its construction. Add to this the indefatigable efforts that have been spent in its behalf, its vigorous defence of a panic that prostrated nearly every noble work in the country, the substantial ground that lias altr "* r ready been secured, and the untiring energies, and unflinching zeal of the managers, and there will be little ground sot doubt.— Monticello Herald. The reason why Mrs.- Halstead receives such liberal patronage at her new store is not simply because her goods are stylish and new, but people prefer to trade where they find a uniform price for each and "all, and where they are sure of getting first class goods all the time at price/ as low as second or third class or even shoddy goods are frequently sold for, (and many say from 25 to 50 per cent less), even when they have sent off to larger places for them. Of course the people of Rensselaer oan and will manifest their appreciation of the fact. .Two hundred barrels of salt at I J. I. Purcupile & Co's store.
