There is a strong protest i-ffcred, in different ways and from various sour ,ces, against our long established prnc- itice of makiug poor floors, with the de- ,sign of keeping them covered with car ; pet8 stretched and fitted to every part-, and carefully tacked down. ^Carpets iu daily use cahnot be kept clean excep by very frequent shaking and beating, and they do much toward corrupting the air by retaining impure gases, hi lling jtjie'fiue’st, most'pi-netrating dust in their meshes and underneath them, and. by giving off particles of fine wool inlo the atmosphere, with other dust, as they are swept or walked upon. There is a demand for better floors, not necessarily inlaid or mosaics, of dif ferent kinds of precious wood, but made double, of strong seasoned wood, that will not shrink or warp (spruce, however well sensoned, is almost sure to warp), and then carefully finished so as to be durable and easily cleaned. Carpeted floors seem a relief to tlie • hon’se-Keeper when once the carpets are procured and fitted to the rooms and tacked down, because they do not .show the dirt as the ba*e floors do. Blit oh! when they do get full of dust! Aud when liouse-clenning time comes, and they must be taken up and shaken .-nud whipped as they well deserve! With warmly-made floors and large Warm rugs, couldn’t we do without (these abominations even in winter. Certainly our rooms wonld be cooler and sweeter without them iu summer. But in that- case we must- take more pains with onr floors, «Dd we must have Something better than the common un- pninted ones, Oiled floors are better liked than those painted, even for kitchens. Women find that they can oil their floors themselves, and many a kitchen.floor has, .within a few years, been made comfortable and decent in that way. Boiled linseed oil is used, .and two or'three coats ni-e put on, one -after another, as fast as they are dry. Floors of-ajtorjuato boards of different binds of wood are pretty for me so rooms, and sometimes a border made in this way, diagonal stripes, bordered by a straight board on each side, or wood of two kinds laid in checks diamonds, is very satisfactory, bordered rooms are especially -de: for parlors, or rooms where a bordered carpet or large rich rug is intended to merely cover most of the floor, leaving a margin of about two feet «round the .edges—a carpet which can often be car- jried put aud shaken free from dust-. .Oiled floors do not need hard scrub- jbhig. like unpainted floors, bnt simply «good washing with warm (uot hot) Witter, often changed as you go ever it. jStropg suds of course wiU- gradually re. £pove the .oil with which you have vare- Jully filled the pores.

Ve wi.l take Houston: County as a fair sample of the Superiority of Middle and Southern Georgia, for we are prop erly classed iu both divisions: Fibst.— We have a climate that is said to he um,ill-passed by the balmy skies of Sunny Italy. We are almost exempt for ibe ixurmcs of heat and coid, and For the general good health of our peo ple we con chalk upe comparison with that of any’other locality on the conti nent. The health statistics of the Uni ted States of 1&70 show this to be the most free from diseases of any part of the union—in fact we have no diseases of much consequence except a mild type of malarial iiflecticus which never be come fat al till less neglected.

MUNICIPALITIES, It has been said that corporations have no souls, aud it might be said with equal piopriety that municipal corpora tions have, no sense. In late years they have piled debt on debt unt’i “Pelion upon Ossrr” ceases to be an adequate metaphor. Now that it is manifcstly impossible ever to geY'out,, they arc trying very hard to do so unmindful that nothing they have done before is moro egregiously foola-li that the at tempt to do an improbable thing. To say that they aretrying yery hard is per haps extravagant, for really they have done little more thantalkvery hard, and o very little purpcf e. A few hr ve done more certainly, and all that they have done seems consistently unwise. The poor things don’t know what lo do. Hosts of wiseacres are ready to tell them just what- to do, and to tell them wrong. Besides their enormous debts most of them are burdened with population, and deficient in trade—burdened because their trade is-not sufficient for the sup port of so many. If the people should move out the towns wonklgrow smaller, and if the people remain the towns will be capped. To materially increase the rates of taxation would d|iye out so many tax- payeis as actually to diminish the reve nue, and to continne in force the pres ent rates is-.-the other hormof a.-.dilemr Dill. :It is their own. affair however.

Tlie ‘recipe,’’ accompanied by four pages of fiddle-faddle, setting forth all about it, is as follows: Fxtract of Corrasra Apimis Eiybt Dracbnis. Extract of Selarmo Umbelifcra Four Dracbms. Powdered Albcnnefi Latifolia Three Draclims. Extract of Carsadoc.Berbalis Six Drachms. Then follow directions for fixing aud mixing aud,taking the stuff, which he calls the ‘Oorrassa Compound.’—The Rev. Joe tells the story of the emus or his youth, .which we can readily belie ve considering how lie goes on now that he is no longer young; tells how he went us a missionary of South America (poor salvages!) .how he discovered the ‘Cor- rassa Compound,’ how bad he was be fore be took it, 1i§av he got well, and how he was ‘convinced that it was his sacred duty to make known the discove ry of this remedy for the benefit of suf fering humanity.’—Tliejo nil lire taken with this sense of ‘duty.’. How this ‘duty’appears to loc, can be read in his directions ‘HOW TO OBTAIN THE COBKASSA COMPOUND. ’ Joe—the' Reverend—says: ‘As the drug stores can not-be relied upon to procure new remedies of pure quality, I can forward the Corrassa Compound,’ etc. —and that accounts for the milk in Joe’s coccaiint. Send only §3,50 to Joe —aud you are all right. Try to get it at the drug stores, aDd yon are all wrong.' ‘Sac- ed duty’ is a big thing at 83,50 a time. Now yon Mister Reverend Joseph T. Inman, yon know that this ‘recipt’ of yours is all stuff and nonsenee. You know that those names. ‘Corrassa Api mis,’ and all the rest, have their origiD only in what wc will, as a convenient word, call your brain, and yon know as well as we do, that every so-called .new remedy’ in yonr ‘recipe’ is like yourself —a miserable fraud--a humbug. That the things named in this ‘recipt’ are not known in medicine, in pharmacy, pr in botany; they are bnnglingly made up, have not the semblance of probability, and are so far unlike the real names of real things that they adveriise yonr ig norance and stupidity.
