MUD AND BABIES.
We are constantly asked, if women vote;
•
what will become of the bread and babies?
•
In view of the heavy bread, and badly
cooked food welfind on most tables, and the
shocking mortality among infants, we con
template, with wonder and pity,' the blind
faith of man in the maternal and culinary
intelligence of the weak-minded who have
no aspirations beyond , Hecker's flour, Mrs.
Winslow's soothing syrup, and Wheeler &
Wilson's sewing machines. Seeing that
women have devoted themselves through
the ages to domestic'economy and failed, as
miserably as men have In the art of govern
ment, we have,!after mature thought,, come
to the conclusion that just as women's en
lightened interest in political questions will
improve the state, so man's skill and science
are necessary to redeem the home • from its
present? disorder, deem* and death. If
thereare two things we thoroughly under-.
,stand, p.hey are .babies and bread,, and for
our knowledge of both these divine arts we
are indebted to philosophical, scientific gen
tlemen. .°
The only valuable work we ever saw on
infancy was written by a man, Andrew
Combe, of Scotland, a close observer, a
sound thinker, and a learned physiologist.
We • shall never forget how tempest-tossed
we were when!we first- fnnnd ourself the
happy possessor of a male child without the
slightest knowledge of what to do for his
comfort and protection. An ignorant nurse
fidgeted round - the - room day and night,
sang melancholy ditties, and rocked vehe
'mently, while j the child cried continually
with, a. loud - voice, and we wept, prayed,,
and philosophized by turns. Reasoning on
general principles, we at last came to the
conclusion that inasmuclk as the child was
large and vigorous, there must be some mis
take on the part of the nurse that he was
not quiet and icomfortable; we fortified our
self in the opinion by a faithful reading of
what Kr. Combe had to say on babies in
general . The result of this consideration of
his opinions was a prompt revolution in the
whole nursery , department and a transfer of
pain from the baby to the nurse, who stood
humbled and chagrined as she saw her time
honored system summarily set aside—the
pins, paregoric, catmint, and cradle driven
out—while pure air, sunlight, and common
sense walked in. Oh t what sighs, what
groans, what doubtful shakings of the head,
what suppressed' laughter, and whisperings
in the hall we heard .during the first few
days after thehituguration of that dynasty
of health, happiness, and rest to that new
,.
horn soul.
When the three hours cry began that nay,
which ancient dames assured us was a:cus
tom that had been faithfully kept by all She
: sons of. Adam from' time immemorial, we
ordered the little sufferer to be promptly
stripped to the skin and put in a warm bath;
that brotightinstant rehef, after which he
was dressed in a few light garments hung
on the shoulders, with no swaddling bands,
—no pressure on the linigs or bowels,. and
;.laid down to sleep. He was fed (according
to Combe) every two hours by day, andbut
once during Ethe night. After that we had
peace, though eternal vigilance on our side
was its price. 1 The custom of pinning babies
up tight as a drum is both cruel and absurd.
We asked the antiquarian who tortured oir
first born in that way, why she did it? "The
bones of -young babies are so soft and their
flesh so tender," she said, "that they are in
constant danger of dissolution unless tightly
pinioned together." We soothed her fears
by pointing to the tact that colts and-calves,
puppies and kittens, all lived and flourished
:without bandages; and for the "benefit of the
race we 'Sala we would make the experiment
on one of the human family.
If babies are regularly fed, bathed, and
comfortably; dressed, and in pure atmos
phere, they will be quiet and healthy. The
ignorance of women on these subjects is
truly lamentable. We lave seen children a
year old that had never. tasted water, when'
they should have it half < a dozen times a
day from the hour of their birth. We have
found fathers who worked' hard all. -day
complain bitterly of being disturbed at
night by crying children hence the common
use of Mrs. Vrinslow's soothing syrup,
which only tends to increase the irritable
cendition of the nervous system, and per
manently weaken the brain.
Young mothers no doubt imagine that
this Mrs. Winslow ie. some experienced, hu
mane old lady, who loves little children,
knows just how to soothe them to sleep;
and pilot them through all the pitfalls of
infancy,-while, in fact, this abominable
. syrup is cempounded by some ignorant man
in whiskers, broadcloth and boots, who
lives and fattens on his ill-gotten gains,
while babies are sent by the hundreds to un
, timely-graves, or made idiots or lunatics for
life.--3frai E. Cady Blanton.

12 cents per single rate , of 15 graeunes,one
,
half ounce, in the United States, and six
pence, 12 cents, in the United Kingdom,
prepayment optionaL. A fine of five cents
in the United Statei, and, two pence, four
cents, inlthe United Kingdom, are, howev
er, to be levied and collected, in addition to
the deficient postage ' on each unpaid or in
sufficiently prepaid letter, received by one
Conntryifrom the other. 2. Newspapers,
two cenis each in the United Statis, and
one penny each in the United Kingdom, if
not exceeding four ounces in weight.

every , additional four ounces, or fraction

A Fieetbeiw View of Grant.
It doesn't matter whether the unanimous
vote. of all the Stites is cast for Grans Or
not. - Certain politicians more noted for
aptness in expedients than adherence to
principle, have proposed to make the vote
unanimous. But this is a transparent, ex
pedient which, we take it, will hardly tickle
the tenderest nerve of Grant's yanity. , For
the Democratic electors to vote for him will
no more make him a "Conservative" Presi-
Itent than will the support .of Wendell Phil
las transmogrify him into a "tool." It is
idle and absurd. Grant's name has keen
he tower of strength in the Radical party,
for his Military .achievemente have given
him a firm and abiding hold upon the confi
dence of the Yankees, irrespective of par
ties or principles. He was elected because
he wasthconqueror of Lee, and not because
he was n minated at Chicago. The "prin
ciple".i set kd by his election was the same
as was (le ermined by the war, and amounts
to nothin else than a test of numerical en-
periority between the sections. The North
is stronger than the South, and Grant's
election has but reaffirmed the census re
turns.
For this conquerer of Lee we have no
word of abuse. His fame cannot be tarn
ished, without reflecting upon the character
of those whom he overpowered. His tri
umph in war was grand beyond any record
ed in history, and we have never sought to
belittle it. The honors which his section—
the don quering section—have conferred upon
him, have been well deserved by him, if we
limit our view to the sectional aspe,ct. of the
subject, and it is very far from the disposi
tion of the conquered section to make these
honors mean by attributing them to , the pop
ularity of Radicalism rathe\. than that of
Grant's great name. The rOsult has been
absolutely and essentially a Grant triumph.
But. General Grant is not a politician. We
hope he will prove to be 8 'patriot. His dis
position. towards General Lee and the sol
diers under him, when they surrendered,
was certainly generous and soldier-like.
Since the close of the war his conduct has
been such as to preserve the good opinions
of his countrymen, and he has never suffer
ed in reputation except in his unfortunate
"differences" with President Johnson, and
even in that case great allowance was made
for the inflamed partisanry which gave
tongue to its pablicity. The Radical me
counts of his inebriety have never been be
lieved, because nothing would be believed
from such a source.
As an administrative officer it cannot be
denied thathis limited experience has been
-characterized - by great efficiency. Having -
control over vast gums of the public money,
no word of suspicion hasever been breathed
against his honesty: During his administra
tion of the War Office his ability was mani
fest, and even President Johnson affirmed'
in his message to the Senate that "salutary
reforms have been introduced by the Secre
tary aci inter i m, and great reductions of ex
penses have been affected under his admin
istration of the War Department to the sav
ing. of millions to the Treasury."
If from so short a experience a judgment
is to be passed, it is but sheer justice to say
that General Grant has given indications of
pm - Bening the sterling qualities of : a wise
and liberal statesmanship. And in lthis es
timate, we need not include the favorable
- report he made of the condition of the
South after his visit in 1865, nor the'remark
able reticence which he has maintained
since his nomination.—Ricionond Enquirer,
Nos. 13th
Sum, although, but seldom thought of
here, is by no means an insignificant coun
try._ Many people have expressed surprise
that its monarch, lately deceased, was as ,
well educated and as intellectual as any
European sovereign. That the Siamese are
not without a decent amount of brains is
abundantly evinced in the career of the
Siamese twins, and the careful manner in
which they have reared a large family of
children, and provided not only for their
physical but mental needs. That they are
aningenious and thrifty people is seen in
the arrangement of their • capital city, Ban
kok.. On either side of the wide, majestic
