THURSDAY EVEN'U, JAN. 30,1873.
Tho Right «ill Conquer.
Await the issue. In all battles, if you
await the issue, each fighter has prospered
according to his right. His right and his
might, at the close of tho account, were
one and tho same. He has fought with all
his might, and in exact proportion to all
his right he has prevailed. His very death
is no victory over him. He dies, indeed,
but his work lives, very truly lives. A
heroic "Wallace quartered on tho scaffold,
cannot hinder that his Scotland become,
one day, a part of England, but he does
hinder that it become, on tyrannous terms,
apart of it; commands still, as with a
God's voice, from his old Valhalla and
Temple of the Brain, that there be a just,
real union as of brother and brother, not a
false and merely scrablant ono as of slave
and master.
Fight on. Thou brave, true heart, and
falter not through dark fortune and through
bright. The cause thou lightest for, so far
as it is true, no farther, yet precisely so
far, is very sure of victory. The falsehood
alone of it will be conquered, will be abol
ished, as it ought to be, but the truth of it
is part of nature's own laws—co-opcrate3
with the world's eternal tendencies, and
cannot be conquered.— Carlyle.
Justice Alone is Miohty.—Oceans
of horse-hair, continents of parchment and
learned-sergeant eloquence, were it con
tinued till the learned tongue wore itself
small in the indefatigable learned mouth,
cannot make unjust just. The gran
question still remains. Was the judgment
just ? If unjust, it will not, and cannot
get harbor for itself, or continue to have
footing in the universe, which was made by
other than One unjust. Enforce it by never
such statuting, three readings, royal as
sents ; blow it to tho four winds with all
manner of quilted trumpeters, and pur
suivants, in the rear of them never so many
gibbets and hangmen, it will not stand, it
cannot stand. From all souls of men, from
all ends of nature, from the Throne of God
above, there are voices bidding it away,
away i Does it take no warning, does it
stand strong in its three readings, in its gib
bets and artillery parks ? The more woo is
to it, the frightfullcr woe. It will continue
standing, for its day, for its year, for its
century, doing evil all the while, but it has
one enemy who is almighty: dissolution,
explosion, and the everlasting laws of nature
incessantly advanco towards it, and the
deeper its rooting, more obstinate its con
tinuing, the deeper also and huger will its
ruin and overthrow be.— Carlyle.
Consumption.—Consumption is said to
be most ably discussed by Dr. Heury Mac-
Cormac, of Belfast, Ireland, in a volume
recently published by Longmans & Co.,
London. There aro two forms of consump
tion —that which is hereditary and that
which is induced. The latter—the main
topic discussed by Dr. MacCormac—he is
persuaded has its origin in rebreathing ex
pired air. Those ot a delicate organization
should sleep alone, and if possible in spa
cious rooms. That would insure a larger
supply of pure, uncontaminated air. On
retiring, never omit raising the window
sash Blightly. When the dormitory is
small, if not carefully ventilated, oxygen,
the essential element that supports life, is
quickly exhausted, and tho individual takes
back into the lungs carbonic atid gas,
which destroys life. Thus the whole sys
tem becomes deranged, tho air cells ulce
rate, and, with the destruction of those
the whole bronchial region falls into dis
ease. Fresh atmospheric air was intended to
be inhaled. It is the source of vitality.
When the air is charged with excessive
humidity, avoid unnecessary exposure; but
clear weather, a bright sun, and airy
sleeping rooms promote health and lon
gevity.
Record of a Farmers' Club.—A
correspondent of The Country Gentleman
tells what has been accomplished-by the
Elmira farmers' club during the past
three years. It commenced with a dozen
members and now has a hundred. They
met at first in a small room, now they
have a large hall well fitted up, files of
agricultural papers, aud a thousand vol
umes of standard books.
This club has, through its committees,
tested various new seeds, among which
are some which have proved of greater
value than those in common use, and by
this means it has been able to increase the
profits of certain branches of farming.
On tho other hand, it has exposed the
falsity of the extravagant claims made by
the Tenders of worthless seeds, thus saving
the general swindle of all who are guided
by its investigation. It has also made suc
cessful efforts towards the improvement of
domestic animals by the introduction of
superior strains of blood, the cost of which,
when borne by such a body, falls lightly
on each individual. This is real work, it is
true, but such work is always preceded
by talk.' In this case, it is tho legitimate
fruit of the evening meetings.
ii
Artificial Butter. — Experiments
having demonstrated that cows living on
very scanty diet still secreted milk containing
butter, it became evident that the butter
must have been prepared from the fatty
tissues of the animal. This led to a series
of experiments on splitting up animal fats,
which have resulted in the preparation of
an artificial butter from suet. The suet is
first finely divided by circular saws in a
cylinder. It is then treated with water,
carbonate of potarsa, and finely divided
fresh sheep's stomachs at a temperature of
45 ° C. The pepsin and heat separate the
the fat, which floats on the surface, whence
it is decanted, and when cool placed in a
hydraulic press, which separates the stear
ine from the semi-Quid oleomargarine,
which is employed as follows in the prepa
ration of the butter: 50 kilo.'sof the fat,
25 liters of milk aud 20 liters of water are
placed in a churn ; to this 100 grammes of
the soluble matter obtained from cows'
udders and milk-glands is added, together
with a little anotta. The mixture is then
churned, when the butter separates in tho
usual manner.— Seribner'sfor February.
Blood as Diet.—Attention having
been drawn by Prof. Panum.of the univer
sity of Copenhagen, to the amount of nutri
tious matter contained in blood and usually
entirely lost, Dr. Neilsen, of that city, has
been endeavoring to solve the problem of
fixing the blood in forms suitable for food,
and at the same time capable of preserva
tion, namely: First, as sausages, puddings,
and cakes—being mixed with fat, meal,
sugar, salt, and a few spices—to serve as
a much cheaper compensation or substitute
for meat, and intended more especially for
the use of the poorer classes; and, second,
as blood-chocolate, more especially suitable
to be used in hospitals, as well as otherwise
in medical practice, in which latter form it
has been recommended by Prof. Panum,
at a meeting of physicians at Copenhagen,
and is now Deing employed in some of the
hospitals of that city. '
Axles of one Width.—A popular
error, which bears hard on the horses, is
the custom of making the axles of convey
ances of all sorts, of ono uniform width.
This custom is of ancient date, and it has
caused great detriment to our public high
ways, both in town and country. It is not,
perhaps, saying too much to assert that the
uniform adherence to it has cost our high
way department for the last fifty years,
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Had there been a latitude or play of from
ten to twelve or fourteen inches in the
tread of the wheels, especially in carts and
wagons, it would have been impossible to
have cut our pavements into the ruts we now
see, and which renders hauling so difficult
along our streets, and roads. Like the
Conestoga wagons of the last generation,
With their broad tires, a difference in the
width of our axles would have improved
rather than damaged our highways, and wo
should not see them cut into alternating
ridges and ruts, as so many of them are
now.— Philadelphia Ledger.

stantially correct; but no increased pay will be
allowed .-hould they be greater th n advertised,
if the points to be supplied are 0- rrectly stated.
Bidders must inform themselves on this point, and

condition of hills, roads, streams, &c., and all
toll-bridges, turnp'kes, plank-roads, ferries, or
obstructions of any bind by which expense may

guarantee, and the oath of the bidder according
to section 246, act of June 8, 1872.
12. i idders should first propose for service
strictly according to the advertisement, and
then, if they desire, separately for different serv
ice; and if th» regular bid be the lowest offered
for the advertised service, the other propositions
mar be considered.
13. There should be but one route bid for in a
proposal. Consolidated or combination bids
("pr ipobing one sum for two or more rontes")
1 cannot be considered.
1 14. The route, the servioe, the yearly pay, the
name and rwidwoe ot the bidder (that le hi*
inn \l no-t-ofllce addrnssi, Rnd the name of each
member of a firm, wheie a company offers,

14. Bidders are requested to nse, as far as
practicable, the printed proposals furnished by
the Department, to write out In fnll the sum of
their bids, and to retain oopies of them,
Altered bids should not be submitted; nor
should bids once submitted be withdrawn. No

Transfers of c ,ntincts, or of interests In con
tracts are lorbidden by law, and consojnsn tly
cannot be allowed. Neither can bids, or inter

18 Section 549 of the act of Juno 8,1872, pro
vides that contracts for the transportation ol
the mail shall be "awarded to the lowi st b.dder
tendering sufficient guarantees for faiihful per
formance, without other referei cc io the mode
of such transportation than may be necessary to
provide for 'he due celer ty, certainty and secu
rity thereof**' Under this law bids'hat p-opose
to transport the mails with ''celerity, certainly,
and security,'' having b-en decided to be the only
legal bids, a: c construed as providing for the en
tire mail, however targe, and whatever may be the
mode of conveyance ntcesxary to insure its ' cc
lerity,certatotu, and security/ and have the pref
erence over all others, and no "thers ai c consitl ]
ered, except for steamboat routes
19. A modification of a bid in any of Its essen
tial terms is tantamouut io a new bid, and can-
Bot be received, so as to interfere with regular
competition. Makinganew bid, wi'liguarantee
and certificate, is the only way to modify a pre
vious bid.
20. Postmasters are to be careful not to certify
to the sufficiency of guarantors without knowing
that they are persons of sufficient re.pousibility.
(See section 247, act of June 8,1872 ) They must
notstgn the certificate until tho sum of the bid is
inserted, and the bid and guarantee are signed
by the bidder and (two) guarantors; a disregard
of this instructionby postmasters will subject them
to immediate removal, ami to severe penalties.
Postmasters are uiso liable to dismissal from
office for acting as agents of contractor- or bid
ders, with or without compensation, in any busi
ness, matter, or thing, relating to the mail ser '
vice. They are the trusted agent,* of the Depart
ment, and cannot consistently act In both capa
cities
21. All bidders, guarantors, and sureties are
distinctly notified that on a failure to enter into
or perform the con tracts for the service proposed
for in the accepted bids, their legal liabilities will
be enforced against them.
22 Present contractors, and persons known
at the Department, must, equally with others,
procure gurantors and certificates of their suffi
ciency substantially in the forms above pre
scribed. The certificate of sufficiency must be '
signed by a postmaster. ,
