It is now more than ten years oinuo
ncsAce wm rmtored to our land aflor a
bloody war. It loll ns then worn out
and weakened by tbo contest; onr
Innd waa filled by many green graves;
thore was mourning in our homes ; yet,
in tbo niidnt of all that aadncu, there
has been displayed virtue, by the
American pomile that mado us nroud.
and lifted ua up in the estimation of
the nalionj ot tha world, a ever be
i'ora had we stood so high in the opin
ion of men of other placet, or in tho
opinions of governments unlike ours,
and wo looked lorward with hope to
tho future to clono tho wounds that
war had mado: wo looked forth with
confidence tirr renewed prosperity. Ten
years have rolled around, and we find
our country more depressed than it
has over been it its history ; more care
and anxiety in its fields, in its work
shops, and in ita buainem circles. Why
la this? Nor is this all. Durinir the
last ten years tho courso of political
events has been Bitch that to-day it is
a day of shamo and sorrow to those
who love their country, and who lovo
its glory and ila estimation in the. eves
of tlio world. Peace has brought to
us more that has mado lis sad and sor
rowful, more that has been hurtful to
our national character, more that has
suppressed honest labor, thwarted the
interests of thoao who attempted to
build np onr national prosperity than
ovor war did with all its sufferings. It
needs no spirit of prophoey to tell what
hlie future historian, when he tells the
events of tho past fifteen or twenty
years of our country, will dwell upon
wncn ne comes to this period, tie
in warn an nations tbat a people may
live against armed rebellion. lie will
teach tbe lesson that force cannot de
stroy a government when it is strong
in the affections of a people, and ho
will teach the other great lesson that
corruption in rcforence to publio vir
tue and greed for gold will destroy
those Institutions that wero powerful
to resist all outward pressure and all
belligerent attacks. Kow, I do not
stand here in this hour of onr shame
and disgrace in many respects, this
Inst year of a century of our existence,
to speak to yon in n mere partisan
spirit. 1 admit that the difficulties
which surround us have grown out of
a lacic ot virtus on tho part or tho
whole American people. I admit that
we have lost sight, without regard to
mere party distinction, of those virtues
which did abound when our institu
tions were formed, and when we start
ed out in our great and glorious career,
wnicn has mado us so powerful among
he nations ot tho earth. While 1 will.
tberclore, say to our Republican friends
that a part ot tbe blame rests upon ns,
as it does upon thorn, yet another
thing is made true by all this, and
that ia that abuses and corruption hav.
come because we have last sight of the
principles of tbono who formed oar
government. Applause. The nation
al treasury would not have been rob
toa u a lalse national leelins bad not
opened the doors of that treasury to
schemes tbat were unconstitutional,
and tbat were averse to tbe very gen
ius and 'spirit of our institutions). Ap-
nlauso. The great lesson that we are
learning now is not that one party is
superior to anotbor in its morality.
Wo are all but human, and may full by
temptation. Tbo great lesson tbat we
are learning from tho condition of our
country is that that party that up
holds right and principle, that party
that closes the door of the treasury
airuinnt corruption, thAt putty that in
sists that tho government shall ke'p
ilsell within rigbllul uounus, is mo on
ly party that can sulely bo trusted
rAimlttUoo.l Wo do not snv to vou
my Republican friends, that you did
not love your country. , Wo do not
wish hero to say ono word that shall
reflect upon any class of tbo American
people. But wo do Implore, you, in
view of the present condition of bur
country, to consider why it is that
this shame has been brought upon it
hocauso you have overstepped your
conoTiiuuonai riguts, uecuuso you
brought this government into action
which did not rightfully beloDg to it,
and in so doing nut only corrupt your-
8eii, nut you corrupt us as veil.
We hear it frequently sad that this
is a day of development ; tlut we are
discovering now from timt to time
groat malfeasance on the pirt of tho
different departments ol tin govern
ment. When we have been ii power,
ana wherever we have boen n. power,
wo have come to look at these devel
opments and these exposures asaflbrd-
ing a hope that we are to have a hot
ter future. It is not merely tbo -development
of fraud and wrong doing.
We have known these things for ten
years. It is not that thore has been
something discovered that was cover
ed bcloro. It is because tor the last
ten years tho American iieople did not
care to see these acts ; did not care to
bear the proofs of wrong doing. It
means that all of us bavo been stultifi
ed by a greed of gold ; by unhealthy
speculation ; by a desire to avoid hon
est labor, and that wo have forgotten
tho great principles that lie at tbe
foundation of all good government, and
that tho time haa some for us to culti
vate tbe virttios ol simplicity, honesty,
economy and patriotism. It is that
that makes a peoplo, not political pat
ronage, but tbe goin;r back to the aim
pie virtues of our lathers. Applause
I be development which gives mo the
liopo which animates me as I speak is
a development that tho American peo
ple have had tbe scales fall from their
oyes j thoir eyes are opened, and we
aro now to have a renewal of integri
ty, patriotism and virtue, before which
fraud and corruption will fade out and
die. Applause. Tho development is
that which I see before me in the faces
of this audience, that laying all aside,
has come togother to-day in a thouglitr
tul, earnest spirit to save our country
and to make it a great and glorious
commonwealth. Perhaps it is not
prufilablo that wo should dwell too
mucb upon the exposures that have
been made upon tho part of our politi
cal opponents. Whilo it is our duty
to expose wrong, whother committed
ny our own mends or ly those with
whom we differ; and whilo 1 respect
the lubora of those who have been en
gaged in such developments, wo aro
tontnko care that wo do not fall into
smother error. This great Democratic
party does not propose to retrain power
simply because its opponents are un
worthy, out Docause we are tit to ex
ercise it. f Applause! Wo mean, in
common with them to punish nil wrong-
aocrs, ana we hivokj! them to go with
us in this effort; but we propose to
enter into a contest of a higher and
mora glorious character still, and wo
say to our political opponents : Wp will
forgot tho post if you will only join
with us in the groat Issuo which we
now make which party BbaU have
the hiL'hoBt dim? Which Dortv shall
stand upon tbe highest plane of patri
otism? Which party ehall outstep the
otbur in the great and noblo effort to
restoro, to build tip,' and mako our
country glorious. Applause.
I say to tho Democratic parly, and to
our Republican friends, wo proposo to
enter this contest, not for the purpose
of showing which party is the most
ignoble, not merely for the nuruoso of
bringing discredit upon them, not
with tho viow of training a victory be-
causo they bavo gono wrong I scorn
such a victory on tho part of tho Dem
ocratic party but wo intend to win
this victory hecauso wo moan to show
thut wo aro mora fit to bold power.
W e bavo tho bettur claims not be-
causo you uro so bad. But bccatiso wo
havo tho positive virtues to enable us.
to carry on this government ; and un
til wo do show that, I for ono pray to
God that wo may never come into
power. It is hecauso 1 bolievo that
now wo have this revival of public
morality, and this refreshing of tho
pure sentiments of tho people and an
enlarged intelligence with regard to
the evils oi bad government, that I
stand before you at this moment buoy
ed up with tho conviction that for
many years to como wo aro to havo a
bettor government, a bettur people, a
better condition of things, and a more
active and earnest patriotism ; and
that is to be brought about because
wo hnvo returned to the principles and
to tho wisdom ol our futhcrs, and to
tho great principles which the Demo

EXTENT OF TUB WESTERN TRADE THIS
season's "drive."
Tho live stock trade of tho Southwest
has become a matter of millions. The
herd is king. Drovers and "cow-boys"
go about with a masterly swagger, and
are tho most popular as well as the
best envied class to bo found. Whilo
tbo averago herd runs from two to
throe thousand head, there are tboso
tbat number from twenty -five thousand
to seventy -five thousand, and tbe own.
era of such, like A brain of old, may bo
set down as decidedly "rich In cattle."
It is now tbe timo of year for the an
nual "drives" from Texas into Kansas
and Colorado, preparatory to market
ing beeves lor the r.astorn trade, r rom
April until Movomber tho41 trail" fairly
swarms. I be cattle have been " round
ed up" as soon as the young grass be
gins to start, and assorted according
to ibeir brand. This is necessary, be
cause while feeding through tbe W inter
tney roam at largo, and the herds
stray apart and get mixed. After tbe
round np," each drover takes bis own
to a separate "range 'or pasture. Then
the process of" cutting out " takes place.
1 his is ilio selection or such as are de
signed for tbe market. The next step
is to get the "long-horns" upon tho
road or " trail. n ben once upon the
way tney loilow on without much
trouble. The grcatoat dangor ia from
siampoutng uiinng storms, or tbroueb
tho efforts of highwaymen, wbo often

herd of two or thrco thousand upon
tho trail often presents a flno sii'ht.
tramping in Indian file, and strinimii;
out ior a distance oi a mile or more
over tho prairie.
When tbo cattle aro folrly upon tho
trail they are allowed to feed along
leisurely upon the spring grasses.
The distance to be mads in those
"drives" is generally from 250 to 350
miles, and it takes from thirty to forty
days. When thoy roach the vicinity
of a shipping point they are often
henJed out several weeks until good
firtcos prevail ; then tbey aro hurried
iirward to Kansas City, Chicago, St.
Louis, and othor points. Middlemen
aro always on band, and herds fre
quently change, hands en route, and
more commonly at the shipping point.
Then thcro aro numberless commission
agents wbo undcrtako to negotinto
sales. The most of these are located
at Kansas City, which figures largely
in this trade. Iler stock-yards aro a
busy scene from Juno to December.
In 1871 thore wero roroived 120,827
head of cattle ; in 1872, 2M,(W'i ; in
1873, 227,lft; in 1874, 207,0(19 ; and in
1875, 109,3111. Whilo tbo number last
year was loss than previous yenrs, tho
cattle were bettor and brought a higher
price. Tho total receipts of tho past
five years bavo been over ono million
head, a largo share, of which wero ro

and points in tbo Mississippi valley, for
beef. .
Tbo annual drives from Texas tun
from 350,000 to 500,000 head. All Of
those do not go into market, but work
their way across the plains into Colo
rado and Wyoming. Tho stockmen
in these Territories give a good deal
of care to breeding and improving the
quality of cattle. Tho old buffalo
ranges have gradually been encroached
upon, and stock thrives and fattens so
well that tho herds now graze over a
large portion of tho plains, and the
principal shipping points aro in the
vory midst ol what was not long ago
designated as the Great Amcricau Des

are found to givo sufficient water, and

STRUGGLE FOR LIFE WITB A
BURGLAR.
Mr. Kent and his wifo wore asleep
in their room, which is on the first
floor, on tho west side of tho bouse,
and opens into the sitting-room. Their
youngest child was asleep in a crib at
tbe side of the bed. About 3 o clock
ho waa awakened by hearing tbo
creaking of a door. Some present!

CULTURE OF CELERY.
Tbo demand for this delicious vege
table increases yearly, and it behooves
our gardeners to pay close attention to
its culture, if thoy desire to receive tho
highest mnrleet ,)rico for their crop.
Pure, white, unspotted stalks arc re
quired by consumers, for if they bo-
como itiHicil the quality of the celery
is injured. Kresh, crisp, firm, snowy
stalks nf a large eite, are always
sought tiler.
Various are the dwioions concerning
tho preference for ridgo or trench cuf
turo, but whichever course is pursued
rich soil is very essential. If tbe plants
are spindling and weak now, tbey win
not produce fine, large stalks ; but a
judicious uso of liquid manure will
greatly increase their size. A solution
of guano water is the best stimulant.
unless barnyard liquid can be more
readily obtained. Dissolve one largo
iron spoonful of guano to each gallon
or water, and apply twice a week
Native guano, gathered from the hen
nery, will also afford a good substitute.
Dissolve one pint of lien manure in
throe gallons of water, and let it stand
in tbe sun for two or three days ; wa
ter with it twice a week.
These stimulants are more desirable
for tho culture of colory in small gar-
dons than for market gardening. Thoy
could not easily be applied to several
acres, but will strengthen the growth,
and incrcaso the sizo of a tew trenches.
Many amateur gardeners make a
mistake In oartbing up tbe stalks too
early, before the plant has obtained a
vigorous growth, and thua tbe roots
are buried too deen v lor their health.
In most climates, the first or middle of
Uatober is soon enough to begin to
blanch celery for winter use, and by
that time the stalks are large and firm.
Ureal care must bo taken not to cover
tho crowns, i. e., thelcnderest sprouts,
with sand or earth. Uso the hand
rather than a hoe or trowel whilo
placing tbe earth around tbe stalks,
aad select a dry day for the work. It
is tbo dt.mpncus ot the soil wbon op
plied which fiequently causes rust to
attack tho stalks. In two wceKs earth
up, or fill in again,
Celery is now oonsidorod a desirable
sedative tor nervous complaint, and
also a good digester of othor dishes.
At any rate, it is a very delicious ad
dition to dinners and suppers, and with
tho expenditure of a little care and
trouble can be raised as readily by tbe
amateur as tbe market gardener.

RATTLESNAKES ASD THEIR
BITES.
In tho course of some notes on tho
rattlesnakes, published In Forest and
Stream, Vr. J. Yf . itailcy. of Albany,
asserts that this sorpont is the most
sluggish of the snake family. It never
strikes unless in self-defense, excepting
just oeiore and alter its winter sleep.
Ul course tbe rattlesnake a Idea ot sell-
defense is rather broad, inns, if a
person step upon it by the purest ac
cident, the snake will make no allow
ance, but strikes the intruder on tbe
spot To strike, however, it must bo
in closo coil, with its head erect. It is
capablo of springing only a little more
than half its longtb, unless it be lying
on an inclined plane ; tben by support
ing ttsell entirely on its tail, it can
spring much farther. Hogs attack the
rattlesnake with impanity, the effect
ot tba poison being probable neutralis

Dr. liailev is able to contradict from
his own experience, tbo statement that
Bcrpents do not movo snout at night;

green and putrid whoro it comes in
