We loam by statistics that -10,000000 bushels of nutritious grain are used :n the manufacture of whiskey. Has it cv :r occurred to you that this is equal to 000,- ( 000,000 4 o.* loaves of bread, or auuually more than 70 loaves for each family in the U. S ? This a fearful sum iu arithmetic, | but there is uo mistake about it. Yet we hear people complain of hard times, scarcity of utmey, high price of provisions, lack of employuicut and poor pa/. Suppose for a moment that this 40,000,000 bushels of grain were put upon the market, how much would it reduce the price of bread? How many people could enjoy a good meal who are not now able to do it; and who wbuld be , hurt by it? Much of the revenue of the I Government would be cut off, but bow much ' more of crime, costs of law suits'nud iuipris- ! uuuicuts, inmates ot alms Houses and luua- , tic asylums, desolated homes, heart broken . mothers, poverty stricken children, heart < burniugs and bickerings would be cut off 1 on the other hand, with peace uud prosper- j itv iu the balance. ( "LOOK UPON THIS PICTURE AND THEN UPON ! THAT." 1 We have had a week of sensations. The ^ ' dry ticket" question had stirred society to | its depths and when the "wet ticket" party 11 succumbed to tho pressure it was an agree- ' able surprise. On Monday the J * **;on was ( held quietly and peacefully. In lieu of the c disgraceful pirade of druukcu negroes with c banners and bands of music, rioting nud "bulldozing" peaccab e citizms, we had an c election so orderly that a lady could have l passed the polls without being ruffled. e Notwithstanding tho large assemblage of e the democracy to hear the campaigners wo ' had no drunkenness and no di.-turbanccs. ^ Jlut the crowning endorsement of the Tern- . pcraucc boom was reserved for the 12th, I when "tout le montlc" put in an oppearancc v for the Circus. The streets were crowded c all day with anxious, expectant pe?:ple?a large proportion negroes?and notwithstand' t iug the disappoiuLuicut of "no show" there t \va3 not the slightest disturbance. Ladies s could have walked througli the streets amid J that douse crowd without being hustled ofT ] the pavcuicut by drunkcu uian, without having their cars shocked by profanity or i vulgarity, and the whole vast assemblage ' left the towu before sundown, peacefully and quietly, not reeling through the streets, filled with whiskey, but loaded with bundles of good things for home comforts, Can any one^contrast this day's doings with the winding up of any Saturday under the saloon regime, with its rowJyism, drunkenness, ycllings and shoutings as they left the town' away on into the uight, without feeling profoundly grateful to the noble worncu who have labored so faithfully in this revolution ?a revolution of public scntinieut which is to restore order in lieu of chaos, to bring peace and plenty to homes where the bottle formerly brought disscntion and destitution, to pour a balm into the wounded hearts of mothers w! osc children were being led daily into temptation.

Lake Bluff was well patronized yesterday,' the audience being of good numbers, the speaking attractive, the worship earnest, aud the weather much like summer. Many guests took walks before breakfast to the beach aud the miueral spring, the only spot where "hard driuking" is indulged in duriug the tcuiperauco convocation. After a morning Sunday school there was preaching, the ltev Mr. Libberton, of Duraud, leuding in prayer, und Mrs. Peters,of Manistee, Mich., reading the Scripture chapter. The Rev. A. A. Knappen,of Michigan, preached the forenoon sermon from Second Sauiuel, xxii.,31 : "The woid of the Lord is tried;" his general theme being the tests to which the Bible has beeu put, aud by which it has becu proved true. At 3 p. ut, came on the specially attractive feature of the day, uti address ou "The uuiiook oouin, uy MRS. SALL1E V. CI1AIMN, an emuiiuent lady of Charleston, S. C., and Superintendent of the work of the Wouiau's National Christian Temperance Union in the South. The following is a synopsis : Mrs Coapin commenced by saying that the introduction given her by the honored President of the National Union, hud fallen upon her car as though a harp string, touched in some far distuut sphere, had in this lucid atmosphere just vibrated, and the tuno to which Miss. Willurd had referred, nnd which had seemed so Tarawa , because of the many and deep sorrows intervening, hud been brought strangely ueur, nod memories unbidden had come up which could only be sad. The bard who sings of the fallen cause will have to do so with a harp tear-stringed, ind the notes will weep out woe winged be ;ause of the sorrows and sufferings of my acople. Aye ! may I not say your people, or do you not claim Virgiuia as your uiothjr State ? Did not your territory and that if most of the States by which you are surrounded once belong to the grand old commmwcalth of Virginia, which generously :cded you to the Uuited States? Would ,'ou sell out your interest iu our common ather's tomb because ho was a Southerner ind sleeps on the banks of the Potomac? kuow you would not, any more than we of he South would yield our claim to a portiou ?f the glory which Bunker Hill monument !ouimemorates, or the patriot blood which irimsouid Lake Uhampiaiu. Oh, door friends, we have been wrong, >ri111i 11 :i11V wronir for nllnlvimr rtosi.-iiimr Icmagogues to divide those '-whom God nude ouo." Daniel Webster was oucc ask :d what was the greatest thought that had ivcr passed through his mind. He replied, us "individual rcponsibility to God."? Vould that every ouo privileged to cast a lallot would feel this terrible responsibility', hen statesmen, and not politicians, would >e put in power and our distracted country vould have peace. Wo do not know each ither rs we ought to or wc would love each >ther more. Many people at the North think of us at he South only as slave holders, and believe lie war was fought for slavery. It was not io, as the brother from Iowa told you yescrday. In my own State wc had only 20,)00 slave holders, ind yet, during iho first ox months, there were 55,000 volunteers. We fought for what we believed our rights, [is sovereign States The founder of our State's rights party, Thomas Jefferson, himself, was opposed to slavery. We were not responsibla for slavery. It was forced up on us by New Englaud and o'd England, and if it was a crime and a disgrace, vou share it with us, for in uiy own State, where the law forbidding the importation of slaves into the State was repealed, Mr. Lowndes, our representative, urged as an argument that there wi re so many inlets into the very heart of the State that it was impossible to keen our New England brethren, engaged in the slave trade, from coming it: ta sell their cargoes Therefore, the law was a dead letter on our statute books, aud ought to be repealed. I do not myself, although not a calvinist, k?i: .v,?. -i . ufumu uiai siavt'i y ituo uii uvjuiuuiiuii 1 u (hat somehow or other ha J managed to evade the All-seeing Kye, 1 think as Joseph was sold into slavery to save his peo(>le, so these Kni-t#*!""? ?cie brought to his country for a wise purpose. In the State of South Carolina before the war, the Methodist church alouc numbered over 150,000 colored people, and 825.000 was annually appropriated, and thirty five of the very best preachers of the South Caroliua Conference wore yearly appointed to preach upon the plantations,and never have 1 hoard such singing as I have listened to the "t/ntu'or.il voice.* a* tl. y raise, l.ikc I lie wild bird.*, their simple notes of praise." Hut slavery has had its day, and while we wish we could have freed ourselves of it a3 you did, still Cod knew best, and we may in eternity see that it was to be just so. Hut aow the negro is free, and we would not return them to slavery if we eouid, Hut is there no other responsibility for them ? You would think so if you lived among them as I do. Hefore the war the liquor dealer who sold them liquor was arrested , fined, imprisoned; now the govern rncnt licenses men to sell them the vilest poison, and thousands of thcui go yearly into drunkards' graves. Bclore L became at all acquainted with this temperance work. I was in utter despair and sat amid the ruins of our homes and hopes, peering into the future, trying to catch one faint ray of hope auiid the dark unfathomable, seeing no way that led iuto the light. In this grand cause I find a platform upon which the best men from both the now existing parties may uncompromisingly stand, a prohibition party. You would not join our parly, although there is not a single issue between us, and we would not join yours. Hut I am sure in?.ny of our very best men would join you in a party'ghnt would prohibit the dre idful traffic, an i banish it forever from the laud. 1 think whon that day comes (as I i.opc and bclievo it will) when Blair, of New Hampshire, and Colquitt, of Georgia, St, John, of Kansas, and Jarvis, of North Carolina, will stand side by side in a party organized for the protection of our homes, the angels will como again, nud we will hear thn i(iin(r '-lVvi/'n nn /virlh fiiifl rriiftd vvili towards uieu " God speed the day !

Oct 28 4i Utilizing Carcasses.?A cheap lot of manure may be made of an old carcass of a ~ horse or cow, etc., which is oftcu drawn ^ away to the woods, to pollute the atmosphere. Do not do this, but put down four or five loads of muck or sod, roll the carcass ? over it, sprinklo it over with quick lime. ** covering over immediately with sod or mold sufficient to make, with that already beneath, twenty good-sized wagon loads, and you will have 825 worth of the best of 18 fertilizers in less thati a year, and uo fears tin need be felt in npplyiug to any crop.

All animals which you are uufortunatu enough to lose, can be utilized in this way, and be uiade-to go a great way towards replacing them. Smaller animals, such as sheep, calves, dogs aud cats, can be treated iu the same manner, with about the average amouut of sod or uiuck proportion . ate to their size. When possible, place three or four in one pile, as the labor of covering would be proportionately less; but it ii not much work to make a heap of any animal, however large or small.?

Wherever it has been tried it has given great satisfaction. It is a net work without barbs and will keep out small pigs or any other animals that may injure gardens or farm crops. It makes no shade and shelters no enemies to crops or poultry. It is just the fence for Gardens, Lots, Lawns, l'arks and Cemeteries. m Being dipped in Rust-proof paint it will last a life lime, and is better than board fence in every respect.
