The Democratic party has con trol of the popular branch which makes ap propriations and dictates legislation ; of a majority of the State Governments, and of numerous minor county and city offices Its programme has already been announced namely, to assail the Republican party through investigations of alleged abuses T . mm - it was this specious promise, with the promise to reform everything, that induced the people to hand over the governing pow cr to the Democracy, both in the National Congress and iu State Legislatures. It is the tendency of all: political com binations, after they have grown large and powerful, and have held control of Govern ments for a long time, to develop corrup tions and abuses. There has never been a political party of any description in any country, whether the form of government has been republican or monarchical, which is an exception to this rule. It is the same with political parties as with churches. Corrupt men do not get into cither and abuse their positions until the organizations have grown large and powerful. There is no danger in the churches which are poor and small. On the other hand, the poorer and smaller they are, the more do purity and divine grace abound in them. Cad men do not develop themselves until the churches become large, rich, and fashionable. So with political parties. At the outset, the Republican party was blameless. It was not until it swept State after State by large majorities, and held the control of patron age for many -ears, that it attracted cor rupt men into its organizations. It was the part which saved the country. It re presented the majority of the intelligence, the respectability, the patriotism of the eountry. Its aims were high and pure, It was the party of morality and humauity. Notwithstanding this, as soon as it had re wards to distribute and patronage to be stow, it attracted, from the other party many knaves and rascals, men without prin ciple, and bent only upon schemes of plun der and self-aggrandisement. The majority of this class came out of the Democratic part, and were skilled in their nefarious practices through long experience in its ranks while it was in power, and, now that the Democratic party is coming into power, and they have no further opportunity to plunder under Republican cover, they will gravitate back to their original surround ings. The -Republican part has passed through a terrible ordeal. It has been tried in the furnace of civil war. It has not only had to conduct this war and estab lish the relations of subjugated States to the National Government, and of a race emancipated from the servitude of two cen turies to their masters upon terms of civil equality, but it has had to suffer from the national demoralization and the low stand ard of public morals which alwaj-s result from great wars and enormous military exjKjndi tures. That it should have suffered dur ing this time from the selGsh misconduct of bad and unprincipled men is not remark able. During the past two years it had been investigating these abuses upon the demand of the people, and it has done it promptly and pretty thoroughly, although it has had to suffer still more in conse quence thereof. Rather than conceal these abuses which have crept in, it has dragged them to the light, and suffered loss of con fidence in consequence. It has, however, the compensation of having purified its ranks, of having ostracised the corruption ists, and of having swept and garnished its home. What it has failed to do is trifling as compared with what it has done. The dark spots in its escutcheon are small as compared with the brightness and glory of its record. It saved the Republic, emanci pated the slave and made a freeman of him. If it had done nothing more, it would still be entitled to the everlasting gratitude of all lovers of humanity and liberty. What docs this Democratic hue and cry of investigation amount to ? The New York Tones pointedly remarks: "The last time the Democratic party went out of power, is left behind it, as the results of its long rule, a plundered country, a Gov ernment handed over secretely to traitors, and a devastating war. The mistakes, the follies even the 'jobs' committed under the rule of the Republican party arc venial indeed in comparison with these crimes." This is true, and it is a statement which is too frequently overlooked. When the Democratic party went out of power it would not bear investigation one-tenth as well as the Republicon party will now. Should it remain in power during the next fifteen years, it will bo able to bear au iu- STROUDSBURG, MONROE Hum m i. u. j vestigation, even if this period should be a period of peace, as now appears probable. In the natural order of events, its scandals will be greater than those which have at tached to the Republican part, because its following embraces the great bulk of the most ignorant and corrupt elements in every community. " It is a party which has not been in the habit of making investigations of the conduct of its leaders and office holders, and it will not commence now. When Congress meets, in the rush and scramble for spoils, intensified by the long absence from the public crib, there will be neither time nor disposition for investiga tions. The purpose for which this outcry of investigatiin was made, namely, the suc cess of the Democracy at the polls, has been satisfied. We shall hear no more of it. This has already been shown in the "llcform (?) Legislatures. We were to have investigations and corrections of abuses iu Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, New York, and Pennsylvania when the Refor mers came in power, but in not one of these States has a single investigation discovered a thing. The people of these States have already found out the humbug and fraud of this Democratic protestation. They will find still more of it when a Demo cratic Congress comes into session, and, af ter frittering away two sessions, reforms nothing. Ch icago Trih true. Sleeping, Fainting, Apoplexy. When a man is asleep his pulse beats and his lungs play ; he is without sense, and can be easily awakened. If a person faints he, too, is without sense, but he has no pulse, and does not breathe. Apoplexy is between the two ; tho heart beats, the lungs plaj' as in sleep, and there is no sense as in fainting, but you can't shake the man back to life. In sleep the face is natural. In a fainting fit it has the pallor of death. In appoplexy it is swollen, turpid, and fairly livid. If a man is asleep, let him alone ; nature will wake him up as soon as he has got sleep enough. When a person faints, all that is necess ary is to lay him down on the floor, and he will "come to" in double time. He faint ed because the heart missed a beat, failed for an instant, failed for only once to send the proper amount of blood to the brain. If you place the patient in a horizontal posi tion, lay him on his back. It docs not re quire much force of the heart to send the blood on a level to the head ; but, if you set a man up, the blood has to be shot up ward to the head, and this requires much more force ; yet in nine cases out of ten, if i person faints and falls to the floor, the first thing done is to run to him and set him up, or place him on the chair. In apoplexy, as there is too much blood in the head, every one can sec that the pos ition is to set a man up, and the blood nat urally tends downward as much so as wa ter will come out of a bottle when it is tur cd upside down if the cork is out. If then, a man is merely asleep, let him alone, f jr the face is natural. If a man has fainted, lay him flat on his back, for his face is deadly pale. If a man is apopoletic, set him in a chair, because the face is swollen, and livid with its excess of blood. What is apoplexy ? From the sudden ness of the attack ami the apparent causc lessncss of it, the Greeks connected it in their own minds with the idea of a stroke of lighting as coming from the Almighty hand : it literally means "a stroke from above." As in stantaneous as the hurling of a thunderbolt in a clear sky, there comes a loss of sense, and feeling, and thought, and motion ; the heart beats, the lungs play, but that is all they soon cease forever. The Romans considered tho person to be "thunder struck" or planet struck, as if it were of unearthly origin. The csential nature of apoplexy is an un natural amount of blood to the brain. What ever sends too much to the brain may cause apoplexy. Watever keeps the blood coming rom the brain dams it up may cause apoplexy. This is the kind of apoplexy which ceems to come without any appar ent adequate cause. Tying a cord around the neck, or holding the head downward too long, can bring on au attack of apoplex ey, by damming up the blood in the brain, and keeping it from returning to the body. sudden mental, emotion can send too much blood to the brain, or too great men tal excitement does the same thin''. It is the nature of all wines and spirits to send an increased amount of blood to the brain ; hence alcohol is said stimulates the brain. The first effect of taking a glass of wine or stronger form of alcohol, is to send the blood there faster than common, hence COUNTY, PA., APRIL J'mja'i.mii.gig it quickens the circulation ; that gives the red face : it increases the activity of the brain, and also tho tongue. Rut as the blood goes to the brain faster than common, it returns faster, and no special harm results. Rut suppocc a man keeps on drinking, the blood is sent to the brain much faster, in such large quantities that in order to make room for it the arteries have to enlanrc themselves, they increase in size, and in do ing so press against the more yielding flaccid veins which carry the blood out of the brain, and thus considerably diminish their size, their pores ; the result being that the blood is not only carried to the arteries of the brain faster than is natrxal or healthful, but is prevented from leaving it as fast as usual, hence a double set of causes of death are set in operation. Hence a man may drink enough brandy, or other spirits, in a few hours, or even minutes to bring on a fa tal attack of apoplexy ; this is literally be ing dead drunk. How a Couple of "Confidence Men" Du ped an Honest Farmer. The Kaston Rrjvcss of last Thursday has the following account of a little "confidence game" that was played on a farmer living a short distance from Easton : On Friday last two strangers visited the livery stable of E. E. Hemingway, Esq., aud hired a horse and carriage, stating that they wanted to visit the country for the purpose of selling eye glasses. They drove as far as Thompson's old mill, on the Rush kill, where one of them alighted and painted his face, which gave him a sickly look. The man in the carriage drove on, while the other stopped at the house of Mr. Jacob Saylor, about two miles up the Rushkill, and told Mr. Saylor that he had a lot of goods iu New York which would bo sold unless he could raise $223. Finally he came down to -S125, and offered to leave with Mr. Saylor two gold watches, which he represented were iu a box in his posses sion, as security for the amount, and which he said were worth $300. He exhibited two fine looking gold time keepers, and when the money was given him he took a tin box from his pocket and professed to put the watches inside, and then locked it, putting the key in his pocket and handing tne box over to Mr. Saylor. During the transaction a second party had put in au appearance, who professed to be a stranger to the first, but who offered to give him 8300 for the watches, which the latter declined to accept asi-ming as a reason that Mr. Saylor was an old farmer, who he could always find at his place, and he would rather take the money from him, as he would just know where to come when he was able to redeem his watches. After the bargain was concluded and the money advanced the second party left with Mr. alter, who happened to be present, to look at a cow, which tlse fellow said he desired to purchase ; but after walking a short distance, he made some excuse about not buying then, stating that as the first stranger would be out to Mr. Saylor's on Monda-, he thought he would meet him there and make the purchase. He left Mr. Walter, and not long afterward was seen in coinpapy with the first party who was undoubtedly his accomplice in the swindle. They drove into Easton, where they re turned their rig to Mr. Hemingway, from whom it had been hired, and about 1 o'clock they were seen making their way to one of the depots, and since then nothing lias been heard of the couple, who doubt less arc spending their easily gotten green backs with their kindred companions in crime in New York. Mr. Saylor subsequently brought the box to Easton, opened it in the presence of sev eral gentlemen and took out the watches. They were then taken to a jeweler, who, upon examining them, declared them to be worth about 20. 31 r. Saylor takes his loss philosophically, but if ever this "dis tressed" individual comes across his path the consequences might not be so pleasant to him. Easton Sentinel. A horse thief was arrested in Oswego last week with a horse in his possession. The description, however, did not quite answer to that of the lost one, which had a white star in his forehead. Rut a bright thought struck the officer. Ordering a ba sin of warm water and some soap, he began washing the forehead of the horse, and was soon rewarded by seeing a nice white star appear. The head had beeu painted. - "Riddy," said a lady, "step over and sec how old Mrs. Jones is this morning." Iu a few minutes Riddy returned with the information that 3Irs.

A good story used to be told of the old fashioned relations between masters and servants in colonial times in New Eng land. A gentleman in the neighborhood of Boston hired a farm servant, to whom he became much attached because of his fidelity and thoroughness in all kinds of work. But one habit cf the servant was very offensive. He kept his hat on in the house, and even iu his master's room. The gentleman, after long annoyance, determined to correct the habit. "John," said he, kindly, one day, "you alwa-s keep your hat on when you come into the house." "Well, sir haven't I a right to?" "Yes, I suppose you have," was the reluctant reply. "Well, then, why shouldn't I ?" This the gentleman was not prepared to answer, so he determined on another line of attack. "Now, John, what will j-ou take how much more wages will you ask to take your hat off when you come in ?" "Well, that requires consideration, I guess. "Take it into consideration, then, and tell me to-morrow mornitir." In the morning John presented him self promptly. "Well, John, have you considered ?" "Yes, sir; I guess it's worth a dollar a month." "It's settled, then, John. You shall have another dollar a month." John was satisfied. He had maintanied his rights, waving their exercise of a consideration. The gentleman was also, satisfied. He retained a good servant, who reformed his only bad habit. Potatoes. A certain writer has this to say about potatoes : Take it altogether, the Early Rose is our best potato now, as the Peach- blow was ten years ago, or the Mercer fif teen years ago. It needs rich sod, and I think grows of better quality on rich land than on poor. A manured clover is just the place for it. So great arc its advantages in productiveness over old-fashioned varie ties, that it is fairly entitled to the credit of the increased attention given to potato culture. The Peerless is a fit companion to the Early Rose. It is two or three weeks later in ripening, nearly twice as productive, and unlike the Early Rose, re quires a poor soil. If the land is too rich, or has been heavily manured, Peerless will grow large and of poor quality, and on the poorest soils it will yield largely of tubers, of as dry white, aud good flavored as need be desired. The Lato Rose is still a heavier cropper, and will yield well on even poorer soil than the Peerless. A neigbor of mine, two years, ago, planted a fertile field with Early Rose. He gathered fifty-five bar rels per acre of marketable potatoes, which sold at 81.50 per barrel. Last spring he planted the same field with Peerless, mark eted eighty barrels of excellent potatoes, and next season he proposes to plant Late Rose, after which the field will bo given a rest. In the two crops already gathered there has been a net profit of more than $100 per acre, or about the value of the land. I do not recommend such cropping, but the facts shows what can be done. How to Get Along. Pay as you go. Never "fool" in business matters. Do not kick every one in your path. Learn to act and think for yourself. Keep ahead rather than benind tho times. Don't stop to tell stories in business hours. Use your own brains rather than those of others. Do not meddle with a business you know nothing about. No man can get rich by sitting around stores and saloons. Have order, system, regularity aud also promptness. More miles can lie made in a day going steadily than by stopping. A man of honor respects his word as he does his bond. Help others when you can, but never give when you cannot afford, because it is fashionable. Young man ! cut this out, and if there is any folly in tho argument let us know. Borax Lake, California, is fifteen miles long by seven to" nine miles wide, and eon tains a deposit of borax of almost incalculable- value, enough it is said to supply the world. It is reported in Jefferson City that an excellent quality of load has been flmud five miles from Stdalia, 31bsouri. NO. 45. Cure for Hydrophobia The rcceipe is that of 31.- Cassar, a French physician : Take two table spoonfulls of fresh chloride of lime, mix it with half a pint of water, ami with thn wash keep the wound constantly bathed and frequently renewed. The chlorine gas possesses the power of decomposing the" tremendous poison, and renders mild and harmless that venom against whose resist less attack the artillery of medical science' had been so long directed in vain. It w necessary to add that this wash should be applied as soon as possible after the inflic tion of the bite. The following are the results of this treatment : From 1810 to 1824, the number of persons admitted into Rrcslau Hospital was IS, of whom only two died ; from 1783 to 1S21 there" were admitted into the hospital at Zurich 22:ji persons, bitten by different animals, (1S2 by dogs) of whom only four died. Murder in a Court Room. While several boj-s were playing in St. Louis, a little son of Robert 31. BoatrHit was killed by a brick supposed to have been thrown by Charles Woodson. While Woodson was being tried in the criminal court, and while counsel were arguing a legal point, another son of 3Ir. Boatright, about sixteen years old, stepped up to Woodson and said : "You killed my brother, and I will kill you," and plumged a butcher's knife up to the handle into his abodmen. Woodson fell to the floor, his bowels protrauding in a terrible manner. The wound is mortal. Young Boatright was seized by a deputy marshal and placed in jail. FOR THE FEMALES.
