CIL?VKR, Referee. june^. ?Iii, The Independent Voter. There have been many Republican voters in all parts of the Union who liavcgrown impatient at various acts of tlie administration and of the recognized party leaders, have insisted on the need of reform, and have de clared their intention of bolting or taking other serious action against or out of the parly if they do not get reform in it. To these persons most, tender appeals are every day made by the Democracy. The official calls to attend Democratic primary meet ings arc extended to "all opposed" to the existing administrations, "in dependent of past alliliatijus," and great astonishment is sometimes ex pressed that "independent" Voters, whether Republicans now or not, do not come right out for "Tilden and reform." The author of this article has no authority Id speak for any one but himself, ^ til I less to dictate to any man or body of men; but having often found a patient hearing and substantial agreement when complain ing ol Republican shorle'cmings, lie feels that he is likely to know the views of more than.one independent voter, und therefore desire to so' forth plainly the reasons which make it impossible for him to join the Democratic army,? icasous coming from his very independence. J?('/>/. The independent voter finds the discipline of the ItepuMican parl y objectionable. He finds it at once, too strict and too lax. He has been called upon to swallow the measures of the administration whole; to vote, without 11 inching or scratching, every regularly nominated ticket; ami to refuse to support nothing which is advanced by reeogni/.ed party organs. On the other hand, he Ihids great reluctance to have platforms made decisive on new questions; he is told be must not take so strong a stand on si-me points as to itlieua tc old allies, and that wo must not be too squeamish about who are nominees provided they are stanch for the putty. This alternate strictness and lasitv ? laxity before nominating, strictness after it?he resents. But will the I)cihncrntic party relieve him ? Was il.ore ever a party that accepted so unhesitnl hgly, endorsed so freely till thai its acknowledged leaders say and <-tn, as the Democratic parly since its reorganization against John (jitthey Adams? For fifty years it has drawn the party reins -with Ro man tightness, frowned at anything thsit approached bolting, and carried the caucus system to its highest per fection. Vet how lax, how easy, how ready to accept new allies! how gracious in finding room on front seats for Webster men, Chase men, Orecley men,?any 111311 that would call themselves Democrats and accept, the party bndgo! Is an independent voter likely to find this party fess a /></??/// than the Republican ? fau'triiilh/.- In order to acquire all help it. can, the independent voter charges the Republican party with being undecided, in act if not in Speech, on some vital quest ions, and especially the questions of the debt and the currency. lie objects that the Republican party have been afraid ol to losing some votes that they have given up the policy ol'pay ment by contraction; that they have delayed the date of resumption too long; that they have resorted to var ious financial nostrums to disguise the real necessity of hard money,?all to conciliate and retain in the party certain inflationists. Is an independ ent voter likely to get relief on this point among the Democrats ? Will contraction be resumed? Will re sumption be hastened ? Will infla tionists be rebuked? Will any un hesitating, unmistakablo, decisive policy, hard or soft, be adopted ? AH evidence yet obtained goes to show that if Republican plalform-mnkcrs, candidates, legislators, and admin istrators arc on the fence in linanco, those of the Democratic party are building up exceptionally high and broad fences to mount. Thirdly. The independent voter seriously objects to the Republican party that it has not kept the civil service properly pure; that it has laughed at or frittered away plans for reform, and that it has made ofiisc the reward of party service. Js the Democracy likely to holp him ? Is Mr, Tilden likely to reject the doc trine of "i-poiis to the victors," first formulated by bis political Gamaliel, Will Hi hi 1j. Mitrey ? Suppose that, any one does feel the flics ofdflicc gorging on the national carcass, is he likely to hear in the buzzings of the Democratic swarm much inducement to open the succession to them ? Shall we foig t, within one month after Thomas A spin wall's death, the atro cious policy that removed him froth an otlice he had held, without hint of reproach or even ineflieichcy, fur thirty-seven years, maimed as be was in his country's service, and that that policy has been the watchword of every Democratic administration ? Civil service reform from the Democracy? Ves, when Florida ships ice to Massachusetts from Lake Okeechobcc. Fourthly. And this briefly,?the independent, voter thinks that repub lican members of Congress waste far too much time in bilking for Runeom be, in opening bid sores and recount ing old party triumphs, instc.t I of giving their thoughts to practical legislation. Does the experience of the last session prom'se much relief in this particular from the Demo crats ? Ami Inst/y,?because enough, flic independent voter is much dissatisfied with the Republican treatment of the Southern question. He dislikes Mr. IRailie's Adcrsonvillc speech;! he be lieves that there has been a want of statesmanship in Ihe entire dealings with the matter; but lie sees in all his doubts one bright spot,?he sees in the administration of Go v. Chamber lain entiie iihpurtialiiyi juiegiity, wisdom. lie sees even Southern Democrats recognize this, and lie -cos the Democratic party, in their whole sale denunciation ol the Republican treat inch I of the South, give nothing but opposition and discouru?ciucnl to the only .statesman who has handled the Southern question like one. For these reasons, if for no others, tlic author of this article, deeply re gretting that the Kcpuh ican party has relied so exclusively on its past record as to take.at. best a doubtful stand on many important matters of principle, Rees anything but comfort in the prospect offered by the Demo crats, r.nd feels no hesitation in re solving to vole for Hayes ami Wheeler. Crossing for Improvement ?f Com mon Sheep. A Correspondent asks us the fol lowing question: "What is the best cross upon our common sheep for quality and quantity of wool, for the general market, and for weight of carcass ?" This inquiry can lie replied to from so many standpoints, that an opinion in favor of either of. the recognized breeds requires certain explanations. A cross of the long-wool?say Cots wobl, Leicester, or Lincoln?will in sure an increase of carcass to nearly or quite dq?hlo the value of the com mon, or native, dam. The fleece will have additional length, considerable improvement in style, and a pei ceplible increase in weight. The im provement in length and lustro will add to its market value. A cross of middle wool, say South down, Shropshire, &c? will add great ly to the quality of the meat, some what less, though considerable, to its quantity, will thicken somewhat the fleece, and give it slight additional weight, without adding much to its value per pound. A cross of the American merino will make n maiked improvement in fleece, adding to all its desirable char acteristics, except that of length. Tho weight, in many instances, will be doubled, while in any other than an anomalous condition of t he market, the value per pouud will bo sonio* what increased. The' size of carcass will not ho increased, though its com pactness and symmetry of outline will he greatly improved. With the average farmer the more satisfactory results will hi? secured by across with the long-wool breed or the fine wool. The one will show its chief improvement in the. carcass, the other in the fleece, though the merits'of neither will he confined to these prominent characteristics. As a rule, the least satis"netory re sults will he derived from a cross with the "Downs"?this, not. from any de fect, in the breed; jmr s--, hut rather froth less .diversity in size in the one and character of fleece in the other. ?Sheep from this cross may reasonably he expected to withstand the hard ships, sometimes privations, incident to the lot of the fl deli wli.cn compell ed to work its living Oil'the average farm, with heiter results than would he realized from a long-wool cross simply treated?an 1, for "rriugli Trig it," would prove nearly equal to the results of the Merino cross. In view of these considerations, added to some minor ones, (hat may be classed as results of taste rather than experienced as a general con clusion, we would advise a cross of the Merino in preference to the others referred to?always with the recom mendation that, the host ranis within reach of the moans of the flock-owner he used?and that none of the tnalo animals of the cross he used as sire*, no matter how near the desired stand ard they may approach.?National Jjtoe- Stuck Joumu I.

"From their several positions one would have thought that two of the others were in more, and third in as much danger, as lones and Brown were. They, as their custom was, were engaged in cursing and swear ing. Suddenly the lightning descend ed upon them, and, while the other three were comparatively uninjured, Jones was killed, and Brown was stricken flown senseless, a id almost lifeless for a tithe.

The above characters occupied the angles of an equilateral triangle, which; as you are doubtless aware, was in an cient days the symbol of Deity.

That is the only true and practical philosphy. Hurry and Haste '?Never do anything in a hurry/' is the advice to attorneys and solicitors by Mr. Warren. "No one id a hurry can possibly ftui?i his wits iibo?i hhii; and remember that in the law there is ever an opponent watching to bud you off your guard. Von may oc casionally be in haste, but you need never bo in a hurry; lake care ? re solve?never to be so. Remember always that others' interests are 0C copying your attention, and suffer by your ihadvert'.'iicc?by that njgligcuco which generally occasions hurry. A man of first-rate business talent?one who always looks so calm and tran quil, that it makes one's-self feel cool on a hot Summer day to look at him ?om e (old hie that he had never been in a hurry but once, und that, was lor an entire, fortnight, at the commence ment of his career. It nearly killed him; he spoiled everything he touch ed; he was always breath'es?| and harassed, and miserable; but it did him good for life; he resolved never again to be in a hurry?and never was, ho, not once, that he could re member, during twenty-five years' practice ! Observe, I speak of being hurried and flustered?not of being in Im-to, lor that;is ?fter inevitable; but then is always seen the superiority and inferiority cf dilierent men. Y ti may indeed almost define hurry as the condition to which :in tnferror man is reduced by baste.

His suggestions to counsel were masterly, and cx qutHteJy well 'inied; and by the close of theday he hud triumphed.

Fashions in Furniture. The rage i.- now for the antique, and of that peculiar form and fashion known as Fastlake, the general Char te ristics of which arc straight lines and right angles. From the rate at which this style of furniture is [now manufactured it will be a bud specu lation for dealers if a sudden reaction sets in, as immense stock will have to go into at'ic seclusion.

A ft or all, mahogany is the wood for rich furniture. It is coming into fashion again, as is bii'dseyc ma{do and holly, tlic latter, however, being a new wood comparatively in tliisi business. It is almost of too pure and delicate a lint for common use. heilig cream while, and very liable to soil; but it is extremely beautiful when worked up with contrasting shades. To show what can be dime with wood we saw an elegant Eust lake chamber act, in unpnintcd pine, which was (it. to stand beside the handsomest maples or walnuts. We believe it was valued at Slot).
