The Vienna, Austria, correspon
dent of the Xew York Tribune is
authority for saying, that one of the
questions discussed by Itismarck
and Jiuest at the conferences at
iastien and Salzburg, was a plan
by which German emigration might
be turned from America to Austria,
aial thus help to build up the in
dustrial resources of that decaying
empire. The plau does not propose
to resort to any prohibitory laws,
or to use any coercion for the , jmr
pose of securing this result. It con
templates reaching the desired end
by holding out tangible induce
ments in the shape of high wages.
The German emigration to this
country has been very great for
many years. It was interrupted
somewhat during the Franco-Prussian
war. As a rule, they possess a
rery fair appreciation of our Re
publican institutions", and being
proverbially industrious and frugal,
they may be regarded justly as
among the best of our adopted citi
tens. Much of the growth and
prosperity of the country to-day,
may be clearly traceable to the en
ergy and thrift of this class of our
follow citizens. While the popu
larity of our form of government
has been one inducement to bring
emigration to our f bores, the desire
to come here has been greatly en
hanced by the cheapness of our
lands and tlie superiority of our
wages. It is well known that Ger
many is overstocked with artisans,
and hence the wages consideration,
especially, has exerted a very potent
influence in inducing so large an
emigration from Germany to our
country. Appreciating this fact,
Austria being limited in her supply
of artisans, she, taking the initiative,
will endeavor to deflect the stream
of German emigration into her own
borders by means of wages induce
ments" Wages in Austria are
double those in Prussia at the pres
ent time, and site now intends to in
duce families in the North German
States to emigrate into her borders,
by paying their passage, wholly or
in part, giving them pecuniary as
sistance, if necessary, and by plac
ing at their disposal houses belong
ing to the government in the prin
cipal towns and cities of the em
pire. Germany will do all she can
to encourage the project, by remov
ing all vexatious impediments
which may be in the way of emi
gration. "IIow far the project
will succeed," says this correspon
dent, "remains to be seen ; but it is
reasonable to presume that, if Ger
man emigrants find they can obtain
as much money for their labor in
Austria as in the United States, the
close vicinity of the former and the
ties of family and a common language
will prove powerful temptations and
draw many of them in that direc
tion. Be this as it may, the Aus
trian and German Governments ex
pect to produce something like a
revolution in the emigration statis
tics of our country during the year
1872.
aristocrat it; if Brick's criticism of
the Chairman of the National Dcm-
Brie rMNy a s
The RwnsTKit of last week con
tained the opinion of the Hon, Geo.
IT. Parker, an Iowa Democratic
leader, in regard to the present con
dition of the Democratic organiza
tion. He thought the party dead,
and said the body must be buried,
and the stench of its putrid remains
removed from tlie public nostrils.
This week we have the comments
of Brick Pomcroy on the condition
of the party. He says, "if ever a
party in this country was on the
road to the devil, tlie Democratic
party is the one." Brick is good
authority, and if the carcass still
breathes, we have no reason to dis
pute the statement that it is on that
road, and quite m ar his sulphurous
majesty at that. Here is tlie pic
ture of demoralization he presents :
Tlie Democrats ot tne country
arc divided into rings, factious,
cliques, combinations, hold-backs
and go-aheads, till their progress,
instead of being straight ahead like
a grand army on its triumphant
march, is here and there; this way
and that; a little to the right; then
a little to the left ; then to the
north or smith, in a zig-zag course ;
then traveling all day in a circle
no one of tlie party knowing where
its final destination is to be;
He says there are armies and
armies of Democrats, but no party
"No Democratic party in the
United States." After all then,
like Parker, of Iowa, he believes the
party dead. It is the members ot
tliese "rings, factions, cliques," etc.,
who are "nn thn nviil tit Ma ilnvi! "

contemplate. Well may our coun
try rejoice in the fact that there is
no hope of such a conglomeration of
diverse, iniquitous elements coming
into power. But Brick goes on
and tells his readers how this state
of immorality has been brought
about among his fellow Democrats.
Here it is :
For years it lias been the aim of
demagogues in tlie Democratic par-
ty to educate the people that tliey,
the people, did not know their own
wants, and were not capable of self
government. Ihese upstarts have
all along preached that in them and
in their ideas alona can be found
salvation for tlie nation asa quack
doctor advertises that his Buchu,
or mixture of sweetened water if
taken in doses large enough, will
restore shattered constitutions.
Tliese "so called Democratic
leaders," says Brick, "scattered
here and there, have been giving
out such education as will bring
their followers to the jail instead of
the goal. The people have been
taught that tlie only route to na
tional greatness and party success
is the one which leads by plunder,
by tlie door of aristocracy rather
than by honesty and the homos of
the poor." .
These are men who now occupy
the political field as reformers
tliese men in want of fat offices and
plunder. These pasmveites, these
departureites, these watchtireites,
these Tammanyites and litigant
Wllites and swamp-landites assume
an air of honesty and virtue, place
themselves upon a pedestal of criti.
ciam, charge upon the party in
power those crimes with which their
own record is replete, and ofwhich
they have shown no signs of re.
pentence, and ask the people of the
country to elevate them to power
as a reformUory force ! Reformers!
Brick aays that "not one out of
tm of He Democratic haderi of
to-day would k willing to Hep
of the applicants for certificates to
teach, who pass the best oral and
written examinations, succeed the
most wretchedly in the work of
teaching lack adaptation. Would
men in business, in employing their
assistants, be satisfied with an ex
amination based upon educational
qualifications alone ? Will such an
examination determine the question
of honesty? Will it teH whether
the candidate will be faithful, or
skillful, or energetic, or polite? An
applicant might answer all the
questions in philosophy or political
economy, and make a very poor rev
enue collector ; he might demon
strate many problems in mathemat
ics, and give poor satisfaction as a
post master ; he might translate all
tlie Latin and Greek in creation,
and not make half as good a jani
tor at Washington as thousands of
good citizens who are unlearned.
Aptness, adaptation, good habits
are needed as well as learning, and
how much better qualified is this
board to determine tliese, than the
Representative who is acquainted
with the applicant? The board oc
cupies a position of independence,
having no particular sympathy with
the people, and of course is less
competent to determine the wants
of the people in the shape of public
servants, than is their own Rep
resentative. We think the exam
ination plan will prove a failure.
It does'nt look very well for the
Mercury, or any other litigant or
gan in Oregon, to be finding fault
with "railroad monopoly," or any
other kind of extortion, while it re
mains an active partner in the firm
of tlie litigant printing monopoly.
While it continues to fatten on the
fruits of its ty ranical extortion, the
less said about kindred practices in
others, the better it will be for con
sistency sake. A sermon from the
devil would command as much re
spect and influence.

some unexplained reason, another

moment, tlie Instruments fell to play
lug the accompaniment of a waltz
which was being vigorously ground
out of the barrel organ. When tlie
door was flung open, the two priso
ners were seen sitting as quiet as mice,
with their hands fast locked in tlie
stocks and their feet bound with tlie
cord as before. Tlie audience became
unroarious; cheers, Jeers, hisses out-
calls, resounding on every side, ami a
score of voices snouted criticisms, sug
gestions ami jocular remarks at the
Committee and their subjects. After
much debate it was determined to

ed to put on the coat again, a new
skeptic was made of his yoke fellow,
ami the feat was accomplished. This
ended the show, and the audience re
luctantly departed, no wiser than when
they came. The performance differs
from that of the Davenport brothers
mainly in the manner in which the
persons in the box are fastened. It

A correspondent of the Bund New
Forfar writes : I have been very suc
cessful in feeding chickens this year,
none of t hem being troubled with roup
or other disease. I am satisfied that
iu feeding wheat screenings as obtain
ed from tlie mills, they slwuld always
be soaked iu water eight or ten hours,
or at least washed, before feeding to
soften the w hile caps, swell the shrunk
en kernels and destroy the poisonous
dust. Corn meal should always he
mixed with boiling water for chickens.
Onions, tops as well as bottoms should
be cut line and daily led. Tliey are
very stimulating, and superior to many
medical preparations recommended for
sick chickens. I lx-liove a daily feed
ing of onions tends greatly to ward off
disease. The truth is, too little atten
tion is paid to having dry tpiaiters for
fowls generally, though no animal
pas better for good rare than fowls.
Without it, even lair results cannot be
expected.
A MIKED OF WALKIXO HOUSES.
Train your colt to walk, and keep
it walking. Farmers don't want fast
trotting horses as yet we have need
so fur of fast w alking horses, great
need, we may gay, lor tliey are far too
scarce. Therefore train colts to walk
at tlie rate of tour miles an hour, at
least. The time will come when a
horse tliat can walk his mile in twelve
minutes will take a prize at an agricul
tural fair, equal in value to the best
trotter. A team of such Itoraes could
plow two acres of ground, with a fur
row a foot wide, iii five lwurs, allow
ing time for turnings round. This is
above the quantity plowed on tlie
average now, in a day of ten hours.
Horses of such capacity would lie
worth a large price, and It should Iks
our endeavor to produce tliem. Ww
have a breed t hat can transmit trot
ting capacity to its defendants, and
why can we not raise up a breed of
walking horses? Some one might
make a name and fortune in this.
THE FARMERS' CLl'B.
The club is to the farmer, old or
young, a school, lie is learning all
the time how to express his views
clearly. The views ot his neiglibi
draw out new thoughts ou new so

years of study, and then by practice at
tlie lar. The young lawyer making
his first speech is as miserable and as
awkward as a young former making
his first public' effort. The lawyers
business ooinielH him to swallow em
harrassmeiitand annoyance, and goads
him on to effort upon effort. Tlie
young Dinner not feeling the necessi
ty for this, makes no further venture.
The lawyer goes on and becomes fa

of a club of well educated farmers,
bring flits skill and this strength. We
advise the organization ot townships

the meetings to suit tlie convenience
of all parties, and let tlie attendance be
