Hia device con­ sists of "an artificial hill, which may be set up in parks, gardens, coipmons, or on the sea-shore, the length being a matter of choice or convenience, the elevation sufficient to gjrre the sled the requisite impetus for a jolly slide. The runway is furnished with grooves in which the runners of the sled move. The inventor, who is a compositor, by the way, makes the claim that there will be almost perfect freedom from ac­ cidents, because of the breaks, pulleys, endless chains, and varied contrivances of the patent slide. Now this may be all very well, but it strikes us this is going it a little strong in infringment on the natural provision and accompani­ ments of seasons. Boston is becoming altogether too speculative on common credulity. But it cannot expect to gull the youth of that sacred city into the belief that winter has invaded the furnace blaze of summer because a sled is made to whizz down a patent hilL It is an undue - attempt to take advantage of the kite and foot-ball season, and oould only have rise in a mind that believes in the mental prq- creanoe of beans. suGWEstioys of yalu% RKCKKTLY a train on the Northern -' - Pacific railroad found its way appar- ;v antly barred by the furious heat of > burning wood-ricks along the track.

HENRY says: "I would urge that our farmers feed more oats to voung stock, colts as well as calves. There is no food easily obtainable that will so well correct acidity of the stomach and keep the whole system in good order. To those *vho wish to raise calves on very little milk, I would say: and by studying the wants of theoslves you will be am* to taise fine animals on a ismall allowance of milk." To STBAIOHTEN a lap-horn, put a brass knob on the end of the horn 'whioh is bruised and a pulley above the head and one over the back of the calf; put a cord through both pulleys «nd fasten to the horn, putting a weight f three or four pounds on the back- end of the cord, according to the size of the animal. Oil the horn near the end, which will soften it and keep it on. In a little while the horn will be where it is wanted. After the horn is straight there will be a ridge left; take a rasp, file it down and sandpaper it after­ ward.--Chicago Journal. BITTEB CREAM--Pooa BUTTER.--In many dairies complaint Is made of bit­ ter cream. The butter fails, or is a long time in coming, especially in winjtor. There may be several causes which lead to this result. Good milk is easily spoiled, and unless we have a suitable place to keep it, good butter can hardly be expeoted. The milk-room (if sueh is used) should be kept at nearly an even temperature; 45 or 50 degrees would seem about a suitable temperature for winter. The milk should not stand too long before the cream is removed. No arbitrary rule as to time can be laid down; it must be learned by praetioe and observation. But there » sueh-a tiling as not obtain­ ing good milk at times from the best of cows; and, if the milk is not right, the cream cannot be expected to be sweet and good. The cause of bitter cream will be found invariably to be owing, if the above rules be observed, to some­ thing in the food or oondition of the cow, or long keeping of the cream be­ fore churning. If bitter weeds, or bit­ ter food is eaten, it will taint the milk. Even breathing a tainted air will often affect the milk so aa to cause the cream to be bitter. Cabbages or turnips oan­ not be fed w/thont giving a peculiar flavor to the cream Mid butter. Some cows from a peculiarity of condition, give milk which turns bitter after stand­ ing a sfeort time. Booh oows are un healthy, and should be discarded, as their secretions' are impure. Good bnt- ter may be spoiled in churnimg, or churning at too high or too low temper- ore affects the proper waxmess to a sticky greasi •ess. The proper temperature of win­ ter cream tat churning Will usually be found to be about 05 degress. The cream, if kept for soveral days, should be'kept at a temf>erature of about 50 degrees, and be brought up gradually to 65 a few hours before churning. If the cream is kept at a higher temperature it should not be kept so long before churning as at the lower. White specks in the butter may be caused by having the cream too sour, removing too much of the milk with the cream, not stirring and keep­ ing the cream well mixed, or over- ehurniug. Either of these causes pro­ duces curd in small flakes, which will not wash out from the butter. Milk from a cow in ill-health may be add when drawn, which will produce speok^ butter. So will also the use of impure salt. Often particles of lime, in salt, unite with butter and form lime soap, which is insoluble.--Country Gentle­ man. ; Ta Get a Tight Ring off Tour Finger.

Was It an"XMer»«U.w "Do you se3 that name?" asked a nervous little man of his neighbor in a Philadelphia car. The name designated was inscribed in script letters cm a plate- glass show window. It wsa not a very unusual name, and the little man was asked for an explanation. "Well, look at*it again," he said, "and tell me if that is art n or a tk" A hasty glance showed that the letter was peculiarly formed. "Well, now, you may think me a crank when I iMgnre that that infernal little letter has almost driven me into a mad­ house, but it's a fact, and Pm not a crank, either. I've ridden down this street every morning for years, and I never developed any trace of insanity until about two months ago, when that sign was stuck up on that window. At first I was only curious to know if it read 'Hauatetter' or 'Hanstetter.' I couldn't settle the question and it be­ gan to prey upon my mind. I tried to ,avoid looking at it, but whenever I got within a block of that corner I became nervous, and I never succeeded in Jassing it without glaring at the name. t became a nightmare that took abso lute possession of my mind. I am a bookkeeper and all day long it would glare at me from the ledger and journal. I lost my position. I tried the country, but found no relief. Now they are sending me somewhere, I don't know or care where.'* "But why didnt you go in the store and ask what the name was?" asked his neighbor. "I never thought of that." "Come on. Here's Eighth street and we've got to bustle to make that train," and a big burly fellow tapped the little man on the shoulder, who followed him meekly out of the car.

More than this, it can be shown that in front of them, behind them and in the middle of them there is an active whisky inter­ est which sustains and divides with them. The Grand iury of San Francisco recently reported npon the operations of the Democratic bosses of that city. The Harbor Commission is charged with criminal negligence for allowing its Secretary and the wharfingers to steal at least £86,000. The F.re De­ partment is denounced as a political machine of the wor .t kind, which has been engaged in the corrupt levy of as­ sessments. The County Clerk's office is charged with similar offenses, and some of its employes have been paid enormous gratuities. The School De­ partment is worse than any other, and places in it have been openly sold. The whole administration seems to be rotten, but, notwithstanding the grave charges brought against it, it had suffi­ cient influence to prevent indictments, mmoroflk yearn. hnfVail|i|k that in the H< theDmd „ _ reoocdot blood aid rhiinoa" ' not like that burfcdt BwOl notdotoaaytheeawereiMtDsafcoetatio .when in all Um North but has: gNsssat-eai^ ^ except of three Gov. Hamilton, of Maryland, has re­ cently revealed the operations of the Gorman ring in Baltimore, which has been in power for fifteen years. In his exposure h© says boldly: "The registration in Baltimore and in some of the counties was fashioned into a systematic wrong; primary meetings, intended rightly to interchange opin­ ions and concentrate party strength, were made to deliver the will of this supreme ruling power; and elections were but the formal instruments to reg­ ister its edicts and give the force of law to its fa'se authority, and as certainly done as all this mrchinery could be made to do it, whether by force or fraud or corruption of any kind. These three primary instrumentalities in a free gov­ ernment and in healthy party action, and whioh are instituted to secure the perfect right of all to have a free, pure and active exercise of their rights and of their political conscience, become in the city and certain other localities the usufruct of this personal power. Julius Caesar never exercised more abeolute control on the great election days in Rome through his election machinery than did this. Every branch of the public service was held, usod and con­ ducted with a Pratorian discipline, vig­ or and cupidity." The details* of his charges show a corrupt multiplication of offices to re­ ward the strikers and blowers for the machine; the organization of a corrupt lobby to oontrol patronage; the with­ holding of taxes and revenues; the con­ tracting of new loans to pay current expenses; the most extravagant and profligate expenditures, not only in the city but at the State capital; and a robbery of the people of the most start­ ling character. This is an exposure made by a Democratic Governor. In Trenton, N. J., a ring of corrupt offioe-holders have combined, and ny the use of their money and influence with the ward bummers and ballot-box staffers dictate the nominees of Demo­ cratic conventions even for the highest offices in the State. They have grown rich in holding office, and they have a large following which they control. Their purpose is the perpetuation of their power for corrupt motives, and unless the people of New Jersey com­ bine, without respect to party, and give these rascals a taste of Jersey justice, they will soon be completely at their mercy. * It is not necessary to specify acts of corruption in Chicago or to describe the operations of the city and county rings. Every one knows the rottenness that prevails in the saloon-ridden Common Council and County Board. They are organizations for plunder. They sys­ tematically blackmail every corporation that comes before them. These ring- sters have their price. Some of them are cheap rascals, some are expensive. It is well known that no measure whioh has monev in it can go through with­ out contributing to the ring. It is open, brazen, and shameless about the matter. It is kept in power by the sa­ loon interest, and in return it protects that interest even to the defiance of State laws. It defends whisky-sellers and criminals when they get into trouble. It levies political blackmail right and left. It has but one object in view, and that is plunder, and it is aided in this scheme by the worst and most corrupt classes in the community, these clssses being allowed in return exemption from any penalty for their offenses. Its following is a mob of saloon-keepers, gamblers, thieves, hood­ lums and bummers, for whom it pro­ vides as far cs it is able. Its vocation is but a degree removed in respectabil­ ity from that of the footpad and the In these days of monopolies, syn­ dicates are always regarded with sus­ picion until their object is explained. A syndicate in politics, however, may always be assumed to be for corrupt purposes. A ring is synonymous with then. If partisan purposes were hon­ est there would be no occssion for a ling. Any clique or organization in politics of which the people are not members and of whose operations they are not cognizant is dangerous to the community, and doubly dangerous when it has the saloon interest and criminal elassee at'its back. Any city adminis­ tration which trains with the lowest and most disreputable classes is engaged in corruption and plunder, and is conspir­ ing against the honest and law-abiding classes. That Chicago is not alone in her misfortune is shown by the other cases we have cited. They show the hopelessness of reform under Demo­ cratic rule. It is not necessary to go to Ohio to learn that Demooratio nomina­ tions are bought with money or that Democratic rascals are robbing the peo­ ple. The lesson may be learned wher­ ever a Democratic ring has got control, of power. It is time that the public, without regard to party, should rise and turn them out, purify the primaries and the elections, and choke off the ringsters from their schemes of plunder. --Chicago Tribune. "Jio Dead Past to Bury.** Gen. Durbin Ward, of Ohio, in a re­ cent speech, declared that "the Demo­ cratic party has no dead past to bury." We very much fear our distinguished friend, in his over-anxiety to secure a nomination to the United States Senate from the hands of the Democratic party, has overlooked or forgotten the record. Without beinp: presumptuous, we would like to remind liiui of a few episodes of pbe "dead past," wd ask bin, i* all three Dessoeratio Senatoss oould mustered to o$jkms them. Tbey were the initial meaanree introduced by De­ mocracy which led directly down to the disastrous events of the following ten years, when the wealth and beat blood of the land waa poured out to rescue the perishing nation--yea, perishing, with the knife of Democrat^ at its throat. Would not the General like to have all that buried ? Remember the last Dessoeratio President, who, on Dec. 3,1880, sent the following mem­ orable messsge to Congress. "After much serious reflection I have arrived at the conclusion that no power to coerce into submission a State whioh is attempting to withdraw or has actually withdrawn from the confeder­ acy has been delegated to Congress or to any other department of the Federal Government. It is manifest, upon an inspection of the constitution, that this is not among the specific and enumer­ ated powers granted to Congress, and it is equally apparent that its cKetdaa is not necessary and proper for earry- inginto execution any of theee powers.* What happened as a result of such Democratic influence ? Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Texas followed South Carolina* and went out by aots of secession with­ in the three weeks following. As all of them were Demooratio Statee, and their secession obligingly submitted to by a Democratic President, the plea that these were not Democratic measure* will scarcely stand, and so we ask, would not Gen. Ward like to bury thia "dead past" of Democracy? Because Gen. Ward and a hundred thousand other patriotic Daaaocxata shouldered arms and fought heroically to protect the Union is no reason why history should not record the dire re­ sults of seoession as Demooratio. Tho Democratic party was not with tho sol­ diers of the Union army in the field. Lawrence M. Keitt, in his great speech at Charleston, said: "There are a mill­ ion Democrats in the North who will march to the rescue of the Sooth, and they will be found a wall of fire in front of the Black Republican army. Later a distinguished assemblage of Ohio Democrats at Columbus sent "greeting to their brethren in the South, that 100,000 Democrats deeply sym­ pathised with their afflictions,* etc. To show that these were not empty threats the Democratic Mayor of New York city, in his annual message, asked this question; "Is not this a time to consid­ er, and the occasion fit for New York to throw off its allegiance to the United States and become a free eity ?" Would not Gen. Wajrd be willing that all such "dead past" of the Democracy should be buried? Old soldiers have a vivid recollection of the Democracy in those days, and their sons are not likely to forget them; but when a man of Gen. Ward's stand­ ing throws his gantlet in the face, and proclains immaculate the organization, whioh in the North had its Knighta of the Golden Circle, and its armed bat­ talions in the South for the destruction of the Union, it is just as well to re­ mind him of the record of history which patriots remember. Standing squarely up for human slavery, squarely in the way of the Union army, squarely opposed to the constitutional amend­ ments and reconstructions made neces­ sary by the results of the war, squarely in the way of the laboring classes of the North in theadvooaoy of free trade, squarely against land reform --in fine, the Democratic party has made a record in opposition to every great national, question in which humanity and pro­ gress had had the largest interest. When it stands out and proclaims in­ fallibility and "no dead past to bury," then can the devil himself sing of ex­ ploits that will win him mortal honors. --Gfyj!0QQ Inter Ocean.

I THE great Democratic Reform Legis­ lature of Pennsylvania has cost in its extra session to tne people of the State $250,000, and the end is not yet. NOTWITHSTANDING the reduction of taxation, the public debt continues to be reduced by a large sum each month, the decrease for August--the dullest month in the year--being nearly $6,000,- 000. This is a good reason why the Republican party should not go. THE Republican State Committee of Massachusetts has issued an address to the people on the coming campaign. It says the Governor and his followers have slandered the commonwealth and that their purpose is simply one of spoils, and urges the defeat of* a power responsible for such principles. You will hear Democratic orators claiming that the Democratic party ia the friend of the laboring man. But the record as to the Homestead law gives the lie to the claim. A Demo­ cratic Congress and Democratic Presi­ dent defeated the Homestead law three times, and the Republicans Anally carried it and Abraham Lincoln signed it.-- Gov. Sherman, at Independence, Iowa. IT is a patent foot that in both Iowa and Ohio money in large quantities, and pretty muoh all the money to run tho Democratic campaign in these States, comes from the liquor interest. This money binds the Democratic party in these States to submit to the dictation of the liquor interest. In Iowa the Democratic candidate for Governor is also Chairman of the State Central Committee of his party, and so handles and controls all the money, and makes him the very creature, as it were, of the liquor interest, and it is no wonder that he champions their cause to the great extent he does. It matters not whether it be prohibition, as in Iowa, the liquor interest--which is the Democratic party at this time--is fighting or a moderate tax as in Ohio; this interest wages the same bitter war in both cases and it catches by the seat oI the breeches Hoadley and Kinne, Republican rene­ gades, ' and wallojw them around aa suits its purjpoM^Qtfcnnwa (~ ajfrai|>sa» 0|gM|1 iiXptaiH m, akMsMat* stood**.
