WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7,1870.

OUB Rip Van Winkle neighbor, on the corner of Sixth and Ohio is as cautious as it is dull—and that makes its caution unparalled by any newspaper which finds its way on our table. It is wonderfully cautious. It copies a long article in favor of Gen. Grant's re-nomination in 1872, but then in its characteristic way says: "Lest we should be misunderstood, we deem it proper to state that, in our opinion the time has not yet arrived when the' Republican press can properly indicate the popular choice as to a Presidential candidate for 1872."

There is no probability that you will be misunderstood. A paper that advocates one principle or line of policy to-day, and then, when the current of popular opinion runs into another channel, flops over and goes in that direction, is not apt to be "misunderstood." A paper that never took an independent position in the last five years, but sneaked in the wake of the supposed popular current with the smiling self-complacency of a hungry canine, will never be "misunderstood." To be "misunderstood," you must ha ve an wnderstanding. To be mis represented, you must be the representa tive of something. You can't very well misunderstand a negative.

Of course the Express is not in favor of General Grant, or any other man, or any other thing, until it sees which way the political cat jumps. Then it will back in, and vociferate it has been leading all the time.

Our neighbor most cautiously further says: "It is not unlikely that President Grant will bo his own successor. But we prefer to close out the canvass in which we are engaged, and to watch the course of events for some months thereafter, before discussing the question of Presidential succession."

Watching the "course of events for some months thereafter," is good—very good. Can't very well catch the "Proprietor" on that. "Some months thereafter," will give ample time to see in what rut the political wagon is going to run, and then the Express can hitch itself on as a "leading hoss."

These cautious tactics of our cotemporary are admirable, and so characteristic that it pleases us. Publish an article in favor of a man, and then kick the fat in the fire by saying you are not in favor of him. That you think the time has not yet arrived to speak for him. That you had better wait awhile. Watch the course of events for some "months"before you "discuss" in his favor. That is, you must bo for him in one column and against him in another. Tickle him friendly under the fifth rib, and then cover him all over with a wet blanket. Straddle the political fence and huzza for Grant on one side, and make mouths at him on the other. That is the way to do it, and it is the manly policy pursued by our good natured, even tempered and ancient neighbor.

If you are for a man or a measure, speak out boldly in his favor, and in its advocacy. No shuffling. "Be a man, or a mouse, or along tailed rat."

A WHITER in the Journal defends Mr. Voorlacco fwi \3ra»vlny ill! Ol 11 IS StllclTy lU advance, and then leaving his seat, and coming "home to attend to his own business, that is, to make arrangements with his friends to return him to Congress," .and says that he "paired off with a radical Congressman."

This reminds us of one of Mr. Lincoln's jokes. A country lass of sweet sixteen, loving not wisely but too well, found herself in the condition that mothers wish to be who love their lords, and was severely reprimanded for being so naughty. Instead of being the least abashed by the reproof, she looked her reprover full in the face and said, "well suppose I did—suppose I did S-i-r, did not Sail Jones do the same thing."

THE following in relation to disfran chisment in Missouri, we clip from the Chicago Tribune:

The liberals expect to receive the bulk of the Democratic votes for their nominees as that party has decided to make no State nominations. We have no doubt of the election of the liberal ticket by an immense majority, which will terminate disfran chisement on account of rebellion in all the States of the South, except in special individual instances under the Fourteenth Amendment, and which Congress is rapid ly removing.

There is no longer any political necessi tv for disfranchising any man in Missouri The recent reinforcement to the Republi can party of 20,000 colored voters Dlaces it beyond danger in that State." The heavy Northorn immigration since the war has secured the fixate to the Republi cans without the aid of the blacks, but with it they are rendered perfectly secure Why, then, retain tho disfranchisement of the ex-rebels for a day longer To do so is a political blunder, as well as amoral wrong.

For the Gazette

The Bridgcton Fair-

The ninth annual Fair of the Bridgeton Union Agricultural Society, which closed on the 3d inst,, was a decided success both in regard to the number of specta tors, and the number and great variety of articles on exhibition. The exhibition of stock, especially, exceeded anything heretofore known in the history of the Fair. The Society supposed it had made ample arrangements in the way of stalls for the accommodation of stock, but by noon Tuesday, the stalls were all filled. But the efficient and untiring Superin tenderit, Newton Rogers, Esq., immedi- .. ately placed a large force to work building new stalls, and all exhibitors of stock were finally accommodated.

A splendid new Floral Hall was erected the present season, at a cost of about four hundred dollars, which was well filled with a great variety of articles which elicited general admiration.

After deducting all expenses from the receipts, the society was able to pay eighty cents on the dollar ou premiums, and had it not been for the unusual expense of fitting up the Fair grounds, the premiums would We been paid in fiill. oJ£^tTdlLls.due

The Surrender.

The astonishing news of the defeat and surrender of Napoleon, McMahon, and their armies, incredible as it first appeared, is fully sustained by detailed information. An army of over one hundred thousand men, which went out to break through the German cordon around Metz, has been checked between Mezieres and Montmedy, forced back upon the fortress of Sedan, and there, after a battle, rarely if ever equaled in many respects, has been absolutely surrounded and forced to surrender. In all the great battles of history, there is not another so wonderful as this. Armies have been captured before, but never another so large, by actually surrounding it in open battle. Monarchs have been taken captive, and monarchies crushed, but the surrender of Napoleon at the head of an army of 100,000 men stands without precedent or parallel in history.

After making all possible allowance for the wonderful genius displayed by Moltke, it still seems impossible that the French army was driven to such a pass without gross mismanagement. Rightly handled, one would suppose an army as large as that of McMahon might at least have broken through the force around it, or maintained its position with the aid of their strong fortifications. McMahon, however, is reported to have been mortally wounded, and we may suppose that the French are partly right in ascribing their reverses to the presence and constant interferance of an incompetent Emperor. If we suppose that he was continually interposing his command to break up movements which he could not comprehend, we shall arrive at a reasonable explanation of French mismanagement otherwise quite incomprehensible. Not content with disturbing all Europe, Napoleon must meddle also with his Generals, and had he stayed in Paris the reverse might have been less complete, and the war might have been prolonged. But the Great Disturber may now rest. Prussian orders will govern his future movements, and the throne which he wished to secure for his son he has lost for himself. He who denied liberty to all other Frenchmen has now lost his own, and few would grieve to see him spend the rest of his days in one of the very dungeons in which some of the bravest and best of France have been immured as a penalty for desiring the freedom of the people.—Mo. Democrat.

Dissatisfoction Among the Indians. A gentleman long connected with Indian affairs, who has just returned from extensive travels in the Indian country, and especially among the Comanches and Kiowas, tells a story quite different from that put forth by the Quaker agents and the official bulletins from the Indian Bureau. He says the redskins are very much dissatisfied, and that they are not peacefully inclined, the Quaker agents to the contrary notwithstanding, and a great deal of trouble is predicted during the coming winter and spring. He declared furthermore that the real condition of the Indians is not properly represented by the agents. The girls, Ellen and Eloise ^Lincoln, alias Susan and Matilda Alice Fitzpatrick, the Indian captives who were rescued from the Kioways and Comanches, are about to be transferred from their present abode, at the Protestant Orphan Asylum in this city, the Indian Bureau having made arrangements lur their return to their grandfather, Mr. Holding, who lives in Lamar county, Texas. Congress at the last session made an appropriation of $5,000 for the benefit of these orphan children, which amount will be held by the Indian Bureau, and only used for their relief as circumstances may require.

An India Rubber Car Wheel. It has always seemed as though the perfection of locomotive luxury would be reached when either the rails or the car wheels were made of rubber. John Raddin of Lynn has devised a wheel a por tioil of whi^h is rnhhfr Thp ana experiments are thus described in the Boston Advertiser: The wheel is cast in three parts—the tub, the web and a plate to which the hub is bolted. Between the axle and the hub intervenes a ring of solid rubber about three inches wide and one inch thick. The effect of a wheel made in this manner is that a sudden blow on the web is communicated to the rubber and thence to the axle. It is claimed that this wheel is cheaper safer because less liable to break, and more comfortable for the passenger. The new wheel reduces the jar to minimum and one can read without the least danger to the eyes. Going around curves the oscillation is hardly noticeable, and the sound is fleadened so that conversation ceases to be an effort. As to the economy and usefulness of the wheels, Superintendent Prescott is as yet the only one who can speak from ex perience. Superintendent Winslow has had them on two cars, which have run between Nashauand the city since March and is very much pleased with them. Eight of them were run under a car on the Eastern railroad 100,000 miles and were then taken apart and found to be in good condition. The ordinary car wheels is worn out after 40,000 miles running then the axle and wheels have to be taken off and carried to a machine shop, where the old wheels are driven off and the axle is turned to fit a new set. The alasticity of the Raddin wheel makes the tread wear twice as long as the common wheel, and then the bolts are taken out and a new wheel is bolted in its place. The same elasticity saves the track and the wear of the flange in going around the curves. Car wheel manufacturers say the vibration of the patent wheel is very much less than that of the old style, and the wheel being in three pieces the liability to break is very much diminished. The wheels are also being applied to locomotives. Several railroads have ordered some of the wheels for trial, among which are the Union Pacific, Central Pacific, New York and New Haven, Cincinnati and Zanesville, Boston and Maine, and Fitchburg. A stock company is to be organized for their manufacture. The invention has been patented in Belgium, England and France, and Mr. Raddin has ten patents in this country.

From the Albany Argus,

Are Cats Dangerous.

The good citizens of Schenectady have been alarmed greatly by a singular affair which took place there a few days ago. As a cat story it goes ahead of anything of the kind we have heard. The father of a family just before retiring late at night heard groans in the room occupied by his daughter, a girl 12 years of age. Upon going to the room he found a cat on the breast of his child, with its fore legs around the child's neck, and its mouth to the child's mouth. It was with some difficulty that the cat was removed. The child had evidently been asleep, and when found was so much exhausted by her breath having been obstructed that she had not strength enough to force the cat away. We have heard of cats causing the death of infants in this way, but never before heard of such an incident in connection with a girl 12 years of age. The facts were reported by the father himself. The girl has since been troubled inbreathing.

Rapidity of Life.

Human life is like a path, the end of which is a frightful precipice. We are told so at the beginning. We try to check our onward step, but no, it is decreed that we must march, march. An invincible power drags us on, on unceasingly—on to the fearful gulf. A thousand troubles, crosses, vexations, beset our path but what are they, if only yve could but avoid the frightful end No, no march, march, hasten on. From time to time, objects pleasing to the traveler, running waters, and flowers which quickly pass, tempt to amusement. We rejoice because our hands grasp a few flowers and fruits flowers which fade ere the close of the day, and fruits which are lost in the tasting. What delusion! enchanted, dragged on nearer, nearer the gulf. Already the joys of life lose the brightness the gardens for us bloom less sweetly the gay flowers become dim the plains lose their smiles, and the waters their transparency. Death throws its shadow on all things. We feel that we are near the brink one step more horror seizes our senses all is confusion and—we are dead.—Bossuet. ,i. !.•

Why Orchards Decay. •....

A correspondent of the Volley Farmer says orchards have died or become poor from these causes: 1. The exhaustion of the soil from the constant crops of apples from the blowing away by the wind of the leaves of the tree which nature designed to feed the soil on which the tree stands by the crops of grass, grain, or roots, constantly taken from the same ground and little return of substance to it. 2. Another means of their destruction has been in whipping the trees with poles to remove the apples. And still another cause was the pasturage among them. 3. To restore them: If any were left worth restoring, man must cea«e to crop the ground under them, and must manure them with vegetable mold, decaying leaves, lime, wood ashes, and salt. A compost formed of these substances would be excellent or one formed in part by soapsuds and refuse slops, chip dirt, turf, etc., well rotted.

Then trim them of all dead limbs, and those that cross and gall each other, and of all suckers that feed upon trunk or limbs, not necessary for a crop.

Business Training.

Henry Ward Beecher says that it matters not what profession one intends to adopt, lie should receive a thorough course of business training before entering upon that profession. Now. to receive this training in a mercantile house would require years, and then but one kind of business would be learned. In Well's business college the student performs daily the duties of banker, grocer, dry goods merchant, commission merchant and railroad clerk, acquiring in a few months knowledge that would require years by any other system.

The all-day sessions of this excellent institution, where business is taught by experience, commence on Monday next, only half-day sessions having been held during the Summer months. Evening sessions commence October 3d, 'When young men, who work during the day, can avail themselves of its benefits at night.

The superiority of these Bars over others is owing to the distribution of the metal in such a manner that all strain in consequence of expansion from heat is relieved, so that they will neither warp nor break. They give, also, more air surface for draft, and are at least one-third lighter than any other Bars, and save 15 to 30 per cent, in fuel.

It explains how to proceed to seenro 160 acres of Rich Farming Land for Nothing, six months before you leave your home, in the most healthful climate, in short it contains just such instructions as are needed by those intending to make a Home and Fortune in the Free Lands of the West. I will send one ol these printed Guides to any person for 25 cents. The information alone, which, it gives is worth 85 to anybody. Men who came here two and three years ago, and took a farm, are to-day in« dependent.

To YOTTNG MEN.

This country is being crossed with numerous Railroads from every direction to Sioux City, Iowa. Six Railroads will be made to this city within one year. One is already in operation connecting us with Chicago and the U. P. Railroad and two more will be completed before spring, connecting us with Dubuque and McGregor, direct. Three more will bo completed within a year, connecting us direct with St Paul, Minn., Yankton, Dakota, and Columbus Nebraska, on the U. P. Railroad. The Missour River gives us the Mountain Trade. Ti us it 1 be seen that no section of country offers such unprecedented advantages for business, speculation and making a fortune, for the country is being populated, and towns and cities are being built, and fortunes made almost beyond belief. Every man who takes a homestead now will have a railroad market at his own door, And any enterprising young man with a small capital can establish himself in a permanent paying business, if he selects the right location ana right branch of trade. Eighteen years residence in the western country, and a large portion ol the time employed as a Mercantile Agent in tliii country, has made me familiar with all the branches of business and the best locations in this country. For one dollar remitted to me

will give truthful and definite answers to all questions on this subject desired by such persons. Tell them the best place to locate, and what business is overcrowded and what branch is neglected. Address,
