FROM REPUBLICAN PAPERS.
The St. Louis Ololte-Democrat:
The Convention having killed oH" all
the big Democratic Statesmen who
came before it, was forced to fall bark
ou a soldier who won all his laurels in
killing and capturing Democrats in the
war of the Rebellion.
The Philadelphia Press : The nom
ination of Gen. Hancock represents no
idea or principle but that of supposed
availability. He was a good soldier,
and there his little begins and ends.
He has no claims to statesmanship, no
experience in civil administration, and
no discipline in public affairs, no fixed
position or known convictions or any
of the questions of present public in
terest.
The Chicago Tribune: His name
offers no promise ot statesmanship and
no pledge of progress, but only the re
vival of the old-time subordination of
the Democratic party to the dictation of
the South.
The Washington National Republi
can : We think the Democracy has
made the same kind of a mistake in
the selection of a candidate at Cincin
nati as the Whigs in 1852, at Balti
more in the nomination of Gen. Scott.
In each case the trained statesmen
were set aside because they were
statesmen and had made a record.
The Cleveland Leader: Hancock is
neither a free trader nor a protection
ist. Neither a hard nor soft money
man. He has no record as a statesman,
and if he has any opinions on any of
the great questions of the day no one
knows what they are.
The New York Tribune: Gen. Win
field Scott Hancock is a reputable and
gallant soldier of the United States
Army, and will make just about such
a candidate as Gen. Winfield Scott did.
* He is nominated just as much too late,
when the day for mere military candi
dates is just as far passed.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean : It will
not do. Hancock cannot change the
spirit of the Democratic party. He can
not stretch his splendid record as a
soldier as he would a mantle to cover
all the sins of his party.
The New York Times: It is a pe
culiarly constituted party which sends
Rebel Brigadiers to Congrees because
of their rebellion, and which nominates
a Union General as its candidate for
Presidency of the United States be
cause of bis loyalty. Hancock! What
potency is there in his name to awak
en proud memories ? What sugges
tions are there in his career to quicken
the flagging energies of a morbid par
ty ? Does anybody know what Gen.
Hancock knows about the principles of
finance, about the tariff, civil service
reform, inter-State commerce, or free
ships ?
The Boston Herald: In practical
knowledge of the affairs of the State,
Garfield has an immense advantage.
He is the "most statesmanlike of all the
men in public to-day. His views are
broad, liberal and progressive. He has
a constructive mind, and he looks
clearly into the future. Hancock is a
conservative by nature and education.
He has perfect faith in the system of
government devised by the fathers, and
has distinguished himself by respect
for and obedience to the Constitution.
The two opposing candidates repre
sent very well the objects and aims of
the two parties.
E A TIN O CROW.
The politics of "eating crow" is in
the application of the original story to
people who swallow a disagreeable
candidate of their own party rather
than vote for the candidate of their
opponents. A man that "bolts" or
"scratches" is not a "crow-eater," and
it often becomes a question for the
voter whether he will "scratch"—
erase the obnoxious name; "bolt"—
support the opponent; or "eat crow"
—vote for the objectionable candidate
as the lesser evil. After all sharply
contested nominations where bad rec
cords have been exposed or unfair
means of securing a nomination have
been resorted to, "crow" becomes the
common diet of "good party men,"
while those on whom party bonds sit
loosely either stay away from the
polls, scratch, or bolt. The following
story explains how that peculiar diet
came into vogue:
The first allusion to "eating crow"
was made in the Knickerbocker Maga
zine a little more than a quarter of a
century ago. It was a story of a sum
mer boarding housekeeper on the Hud
son, and of an indignant patron.
Whenever the latter ventured to sug
gest that the spring chicken was rather
tough, or that the roast beef must have
been cut from the cow's hoofs, he was
directly told that he was entirely "too
pertickeler," and that the autocrat of
the table and the house could eat any
thing, even a crow. This settled the
matter for the time being, but the
boarder convinced against his will was
of the same opinion still, at all events, j
in regard to the quantity of the edi
bles placed before him. So often was
the remark, "I kin eat anything; I
kin eat a crow," brought down on his
devoted head that he finally resolved
to try the old man. He went out gun
ning one day and succeeded in bag
ging a very fine, fat, old black crow.
He went into the kitcken, and, by dint
of soft words and filty lucre, induced
the cook to allow him to prepare that
crow for the table. He boiled it nicely
and it wasn't such a bad looking dish
after all. His heart misgave him; the
fiinty old cuss would eat it after all.
The cook was a Scotch woman, and
used Bnuff He borrowed all she had
and sprinkled it liberally over the
crow, gave her another simmer, and
then, taking it on a salver, brought it
before his host, saying as he set it
down, "Now, my dear sir, you have
said a thousand times, if you have
said it once, that you can eat crew.
Here is one very carefully cooked."
It is said the old man turned pale for a
moment, but braced himself against
the back of his chair, and with "I kin
eat crow," he began, cutting a good
mouthful. He swallowed it, and then
preparing for a second onslaught, he
looked his boarder straight in the eye,
while he ejaculated, "I've eaten crow,"
and took his Becond portion. He
lifted his hands mechanically, as if for
a third onslaught, but dropped them
quickly over the region of his stomach,
and, rising hurriedly and unsteadily,
retreated for the door, muttering as he
went, "but hang me if I hanker after
it."
Salt will kill the army worm. Catch
the worm, cut off his head and then
cover him with salt. Get the best salt.
There is a great deal of geography

REMEMBER THE DAYS OF
YOUR CHILDHOOD.
Wbv do not all of us to whom God,
in His fatherly love, lias given the
care and comfort of little ones, oftener
remember our own feeling.-in the* days
of our childhood in our treatment of
them ? Few, if any, are those among
us who, looking away back to that
dimlv-remembered era of quick im
pulses and fresh, keen susceptibilities,
cannot recall moments of hot indigna
tion at petty slights or positive injus
tice on the part of those over us. Of
course, with our present severe sen-e
of the duty, of unquestioning sub
mission on the part of children—a
sense that comes with age, and with
age only—we can all see that such a
sentiment is rebellious, and should
never find a place in the mind of tho
model child. But the model child is
too good for this world and, oh, the
pity of it! always—well, nearly al
ways—dies young, so that, alas ! very
few of us old folks ever belonged to
that very exceptional class. We have
nearly all, therefore, experienced this
sort of feeling at one time or another
in our bread-and-butter days. If it
occurred seldom or on slight provoca
tion, or if a general course of loving
kindness in the conduct of those over
us, or a naturally good disposition on
our part, has rapidly obliterated it, it
has rarely had much influence on our
after-lives; but when it has, fre
quently or in flagrant cases, excited
the tendency to resentful passion that
often is innate even in juvenile human
nature, Good God! how many chil
dren, even of a promising character,
has it soured in disposition, or driven
to wavward courses and rendered a
curse instead of a blessing to parents
and kindred !
Oh fathers and mothers, and all you
to whom the Great Father has as
signed the formation of the character
of men and women of the next genera
tion, in your treatment of them now
in their childhood, for God's sake, for
your own sake, and for their sake, be
a little more mindful of your own ex
perience at that susceptible and forma
tive period. Every week one comes
across faces so cold, selfish, and ada
mantine, that one wonders if they
were ever beautiful with the warmth,
generosity and mobility of youth. A
bitter reproach is such an emotion to
the object that has excited it. Yet,
when one thinks of it, how much more
numerous are the characters deserv
ing a like censure in that they, too,
seem never to have known the sensaj
tions of childhood.

lic to know that we are able to perform all that we publish, as we ha\c given
our machinery a thorough test in the presence of several good Millers and
Millwrights, and it has proven even better than it was.guaranteed to do.

CANCER.
This disease like many others is regarded
as incurable. It is not so. If it is taken in
time il is as easily cured as a wart or a corn.
We know very well that it is a fearful disease
and will cat away until it destroys life, that
is if it is neglected, but if it is attended to
- when it first makes its appearance, or soon
after, there is no trouble in eradicating it
from the system. Persons will have to be here
during part of the treatment, consequently
there is no use writing to me for information
whether it can be cured without my seeing the

A NEW DEPARTURE!
THE SYRACUSE CHILLED PLOW CO.
of Syracuse, N. Y.
Are now putting on the market a Plow that
Is as much superior to any Plow heretofore
made as the Plows of the past few years have
been superior to those made half a century
ago.
It combines all the excellencies of any Plow
In use.
It obviates all the objections made to any
other Plow.
in addition it embraces several new features
of the greatest value, for which we have ob
tained exclusive Patents.
Its Beam, Clevis, Jointer Standard and Wheel
Standard will be BTEEL, and Its mold board
will be a composition of Steel and Iron chilled
under a process "for which we have also
obtained an exclusive Patent. It will be
called
THE SYRACUSE
CHILLED STEEL PLOW
Its weight will be eighteen pounds less than
our present styles.
A first-class Steel Plow, made In the or
dinary way, full rigged, retails for twenty-two
dollars. Inferior Steel Plows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars.
The price of our new Plow will be but
Seventeen Dollars, and It will be the
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its mold board will outwear three of the
very best kinds of the ordinary steel mold
boards.
It will scour In soils where all steel plows
and all other plows have hitherto proved a
failure.
With this Plow will be introduced a corru
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which
we have also obtained a Patent, and which la
also a great Improvement, both as regards
ttrength and wear.
The Jointer can be shifted so as to take
more or less land, and also more or less pitch,
and It can always be kept on a line with tho
Plow.
The wheel will run under the beam or one
side of It as desired, and always kept In line.
The beam is adjustable for Spring or Fall
Plowing, and also for two or three horses.
The handles can be adjusted to accommo
date a man or boy, on the same Plow.
It Is a perfect Plow.
Wooden beams are going out of use because
they shrink, swell and warp, and never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demoralized and
bend, which Is much worse than to break.
A Steel beam is the necessity of the day. It
b three times as strong and very much lighter
than any other style.
When «>« say a Mold board Is chilled, tho
farmers know It Is so.
We do not palm ofT on them a composition
Cf various metals and call it chilled metaL
We want agents for this new Plow In every
town In this State.
We can give but a very small discount to
them, but we will pay the Railroad Freight.
We propose to place this Plow In the hands
of Farmers as near the cost of manufacture
as possible.
It will be the bent Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
It shall also be the cheapest.
Persons therefore who are not willing to act
as agents on the principle that " a nimble six
pence is better than a slow shilling," need not
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission. All sales absolute.
BP" This is the only Steel Chilled Plow In
the World.
Steel costs several times more than Iron.
But this Plow, full rigged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars.
Compare this price with that of any Iron Plow
ever made.
It Is cheaper than any other Plow now
made would be at five dollars and a halt
Where there are no agents we will, on re
ceiptor Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any
Kallroad station In the State and pay tha
freight. Address,
