SALTING THE MUSH.
This amusing piece was^produced be
>re the public for the first time in dia-
j >gical form at the very entertaining
Concert and Tableaux given by Miss Car
lie Fair of our city, last week, for the
L enefit of the Methodist Sunday School.
The scene as enacted with great ap
plause, was merely the re-production of
£,n actual occurrence. Near Clinton in
Eastern Tennessee, lived half a century
«go a highly intelligent, but irasciblt-
old gentleman named Thomas Hart He
was an uncle of the great Missouri Sena
tor, Thomas Hart Benton. He had a
wife and half a dozen daughter s as offi
cions and fall ot chattel’ as a nest oi
magpies. The favoxite evening meal wat
the dish familiax-ly known ns “mush
and milk.” The old gentleman sat neai
the kitchen lire one wintry evening, read
ing. Mrs. Hart came in, put on tin
kettle of water for the intended “mush,”
over the fire, salted it. and passed out.
Soon afterward Miss Betsy came in,
perceived the kettle, comprehended the
purpose, salted the water, and also pass
ed out Then, successively, came Miss
Nancy, Miss Ehnina and Miss Polly Ann,
each following Miss Betsy's example.
The irate old gentleman arose and emp
tied the “salt-gourd" into the water. Soon
afterward, Mrs. Hart returned, stirred in
the meal, and in due course of time the
repast came to the table where the fami
ly was seated. Of course every one ex
claimed that the mush was too salty.
Who salted it ? all asked. Mrs. Hart—I
Silted it. Miss Betsy—I salted it. Misses
Nancy, Elmina and Polly Ann each gave
a similar response; and the furious Pater
familias exclaimed with an luiseemly oath,
at the top of his voice, “Yes and I salted
it.’’
BILBAO.
European telegrams of the 2nd inst.,
inform" us of the capture of Bilbao by
the Royalists (Carlists) in the unhappy
civil war which is raging in Spain; and
that a bloody victoiy had also been won
by them over the miscalled “Republicans'
at Samorostato, a village 15 miles from
Bilbao, with a loss to the Republicans of
their whole army in killed wounded and
captui’ed.
These successes are important to the
Carlist cause, and probably presage a
triumph of the Royalistsat no distant day.
This will be well. The end of the strife
by any result would be fortunate for the
Spanish people. We believe the Span
iards are wholly unfitted for Republican
Government, and that they must necessa
lily relapse, sooner or later, into avowed
monarchy; the sooner, the better.
The city of Bilbao (pronounced, and
often eiToneously written, Bilboa) is an
interesting place, and was founded in the
year of our Lord 1300. It is the Capital
of the Province of Biscay, and is the most
important seaport of North Sixain. Its
population is about 12,000. A line prom
enade borders the River Nervion on
which the city is situated, and which is
crossed by a fine iron suspension bridge
•xnd an ancient stone bridge. Its princi
pal manufactures are hardwares, anchors,
eathcr, paper, hats, tobacco and earthen
ware. It has, also, lai’ge rope-walks, and
docks for building merchant vessels; and
mines of iron and copper in the vicinity.
About the end of the 15th century, Bilbao
became the seat of the famous Consulado,
originally established at Burgos, celebra
ted as having the highest authority in
Spain as a commercial tribunal. This
city has figured heretofore in the Carlitst
wars of the present century; and it was
here, on the 10th of June 1835, that the
famous Zumalcarregui received his
death wound.
Bilbao is about 200 miles on an air line
North from Madrid, the Spanish Capital
LETTERS OF WASHINGTON.
The March number of the Southern
Magazine contains two private letters
from General Washington, written to his
relative Lund Washington (then in charge
of the Mt. Vernon estate as confidential
agent of the American Commander in
Chief) of an extremely interesting char
acter.
We have observed with regret a ten
dency to underrate the magnitude of
Gen. Washington's acliievments, and the
veneration due to his name, in recent
years. Strange to say, this has been the
case with many of our Southern people.
It is all wrong. These two letters re
veal in strong light the mighty difficul
ties besetting him on every hand in prose
cuting our war for Independence. These
difficulties are displayed in a thousand
different ways in tbe letters published by
Sparks in his Life and Correspondence
of Washington. If Washington was
slow in achieving our independence, and
fjgutled mankind by no brilliant success
es, it was because he preferred success to
fame, the good of his countiy to appltfuse.
He was content to earn success by the
Blow and sure policy of Fabius, giving
up the chances of sudden glory on the
one hand to avoid the chances of the fate
of the Consul JSmilius at Gannxe—defeat
and death. He did well; and we err if we
' do not honor him as much for what he
forebore to do as for what he did. These
letters reveal how Ins ardent and impetu
ous soul surged impatiently against the
incessant wrongs and delays heaped on
him even by his own countrymen. These
surgings he restrained.
The March Number of the Southern
Magazine (published by Turnbull Broth
ere, 8 N. Charles St. Baltimore) is full of
attractions. It contains a fine poem
from the pen of our former neighbor,
CoL R. M-John son, once of Sparta, now
of Mgryfcnd.
These private letters of Washington re
mind us that we have a highly character
istic private letter* of Gen. Andrew Jack-
son of Trimijwnft written soon after his
retirement from the Presidency of the
United States. We purpose ere long to
give it to the public. It has never ap
peared in print.
THE ASHANTEE WAR.
Our readers are aware that the British
are engaged in a war with the African
- Kingdom of Ashantee. Advices reached
ns last week that the British army had
fought a successful battle with the Ash
antee forces, and as the result of the vie
tory had possession of Coomasqje, the
capital of the Kingdom. But later Intel
ligenee throws some doubt over this story
of success. Certain it is that much hard
fighting has been done, and the British
losses have been severe. Later Tele-
gums give abundant room to fear that
the British forces are cut off from the
sea coast, and surrounded in the heart of
the enemy’s country by overwhelming and
barbarous foes.
The Kingdom of Ashantee occupies a
compact space almost Jsquare on the
Western coast of Africa, embracing terri
tory considerably larger than Georgia
and South Carolina united. Its location
is only a little to the East of Liberia, the
coctnti^r ef tfce Foidahs and of the Qua

nor sex; and for ornament they wear
bracelets and necklaces made of the jaw
bones and the teeth of their enemies. At
their great pagan festivals, they consider
fat missionary as great a delicacy as we
do fat turkey at Christmas; at least, some
of the earliest travelers complimented
them with the character of practicing
cannibalism.
Coomassie, the Ashantee Capital is a
city of 18,000 inhabitants; is strongly for
tified, and admirably situated for defence,
and is about 120 miles inland from the
sea coast. We look for further news of
the British expedition with much interest.
MR. CHARLES F. ROPER’S PUBLI
CATIONS.
But a few years ago, Mr. Roper com
menccd the publication of a very small
edition of cheap periodicals whose chief
characteristic was a happy combination
of Christian teaching with themes instruc
tive and delightful to children. The
main design of this publisher was to sup
plant many noxious books and periodi
cals which were beginning to exercise
a pernicious influence on the minds of
the young. The success of this enter
prise has been such as might have been
expected, with the aid of the blessing of
Heaven. An increasing subscription of
ten thousand copies has been realized in
this brief period.
The wisest of modern philosophers
has said that “studies serve for delight,
for ornament, and for ability.” There are
subjects of delight, ornament and ability
in Mr. Roper’s Magazines, all illustrated
by handsome wood cuts, many of these
accompanied with chromos,and above all,
every article bearing abcTut it, the un
mistakable stamp of Christian principles
and pure morality. In the Magazine
most advanced, “The Friendly’ Visitor,
down to the simple “Infant’s Magazine’
the reader will find delight, and ornament
by gaining topics of conversation from
their interesting articles; and ability bv
strengthening and enlarging the mental
capacities in the perusal of the instruc •
tive contributions.
There is a very interesting article on
Raphael in the February number of the
“Family Friend,” while the “Children’s
Friend" is ornamented with portraits of
the Duke of Edinburgh and his Russian
bride. We commend these Magazines to
Sunday Schools. We are prepared to
exliibit specimens of them when desired.
Price 50 cents a year for each.

DRAWING.
Among the pure pleasures of existence,
not without a high degree of usefulness
also, the accomplishment of drawing or
sketching scenes and objects of interest
to us, is far from being the least. We
felt the want of this accomplishment sore
ly in the Mexican war. In that remark
able land, the scenery often presents won
derful elements of grandeur and beauty.
We executed some sketches of that ex
quisite sceneiy, albeit our uneducated
pencil was rude in the extreme, which
we look upon now, occasionally, with
great pleasure.
In Europe, no one is considered well
educated who is . ignorant of Drawing.
When the bold and gallant Irishman,
John Mitchel escaped from the British
in Tasmania, and bought him a cottage
home in the secluded mountains of East
era Tennessee, one of his first art-ierrea
tions was to make exquisite sketches of
his mountain nest home, and send them
to his friends in the Old World. We
have seen his home, and his sketches.
What a pleasure to him, and to them
were these sketches!
We are led to these reflections from
seeing the series of instruction books ir
Drawing, known as Bartholomew's Draw
ing-Books, published by’ Woolworth.Ains
worth & Co., of New York, (No 55, John
St.,) which we can commend to teachers
and pupils as the best we have seen on
the subject.
IMPERIAL TOYS.
The youthful members of the Russian
imperial family have toys which few
other children in the world would dream
of On the ornamental waters of the
garden attached to the winter palace at
St. Petersburg floats a model of the
English steam frigate, the Warrior. It
is a perfect steamboat in every respect.
Within the palace iB a miniature railroad,
the operation of which is thus described
by an English writer: “The little ‘Ex
press’ engine steamed away in grand style
over the sixty feet of circular rails laid
down as a track at the rate of something
like ten miles an hour, and the carriages
attached were as perfect as could be, the
interior of each being replete with cush
ions trimmed with crimson satin, the
outsides bearing tbe imperial arms; and,
taken altogether, we may fairly say that
a more charming model train could not
possibly be constructed to amuse the
young princes of Russia.” The official
who ordered this princely plaything, in
doing so, said to the constructor; “You
will afford great pleasure to her imper
ial majesty by sending, in addition to the
complete railway train, a locomotive in
pieces. The ready made steam railway
train will serve for the amusement of
the little princes, but it is also necessary
to have, for instruction, another locom
otive sent here. This last must be pre
pared in separate pieces, so that those
pieces can be put together and the whole
of the machinery fitted here in St. Peters
burg by our young princes.” It is a
satisfaction to know that such expensive
toys have in reality a practical use.
THE SPIRIT OF THE ROSE.
Attar, or ottar, of rose is the uttermost
virtue of her—the intense, transcendent
spirit of perfume which survives as an
immortal essence, when the fair flower
itself is dead. What, then, is this es
sence? Even Professor Tyndall, the
magician of science, with his tubes of
glass and electric beam, has never seen
that spirit of the rose. There must
nevertheless, be something which exists
and exhales. How else could a littlo
touch of musk spread its keen odor for
years and years undiminished? And how
else is it that as good Moslems believe,
the scent wafted by the angels’ wing-beat
still lingers in the place of the visions of
the prophet? True attar of roses is all
but indelible, ineffaceable, immortal.
Enthusiasts for the noblest pleasures of
tbe nose must not deem that they inhale
this celestial fragrance when they buy
those deceitful little bottles of glass and
gold cunningly wrapped in oriental-look
ing paper and boxes. Veritable attar
is not liquid at all, or only liquefies at
snmmer heat, when it appears as a golden
tinted oil or mucilage, too precious to
use in a flask or vessel. The erudite
eastern perfumer touches that golden
globule with a tuft of pure, snow-clean
cotton wool, and it is that impregnated
tuft which he sells as the vehicle of fra
grance tohis delighted customer.
In speaking of Lee and Grant, “the
Hector and Achilles of the American
‘Iliad,’ ’’ the Saturday Review says; “The
Virginian’s character was of that noble
kind which retains its full measure of
dignity in the shadow of adversity.
Though ‘nothing succeeds like success, 1
yet, in the last meeting of the hostile
generals, our admiration and respect are
given chiefly to him who surrenders his
sword; and, viewing them as they appear
in later years, when their fortunes diver
ged so widely, the president of the great
republic looks small and commonplace
compared with the broken-hearted school.

NEW THEORY ABOUT COMETS.
At a recent.meeting of the Lawrence,
Kansas, Academy of Science, a paper
entitled “Speculations on the Nature
of Comets’ Tails' was road by Pie. F.
W. Bardwoll, who took the ground_ that
a comet’s tail is no more a part of the
comet than is a shadow apart -of the ob
ject which gives it form. He supposes
that the resisting medium surrounding
the sun for a great distance is itself lu
minous in a degree, as indicated by the
zodacal light: that the nucleus of a carn
et is merely a Lu ge meteorite; that in
its rapid motion through the resisting
medium near the sun, great heat is
thereby developed, increased by the
heat of the sun, causing some of tli<
elements of the nucleus to become vol
atilized, and thus to prevent the phen
omena of the coma with its glowing gaf;
and finally, that the bright train calico
the tail is merely an effect of an increas
ed luminosity of the portion of tin
resisting medium b tend the comet,
caused by the action of the sun light ani.

surface. He predicts that, on (lie ap
pearance of a cornet with a blight train,
the tests of spectrum analy sis v« ill show
thatthis train is not nebulous, as Bessel
and others have supposed, and not of a
meteoric character like that of the nu
clous, as Schiaparelli and Le \ errier
suppose, but chiefly of a zodiacal nature,
and probably, in a slight ^legrcc, reflec
ting sun light.
THE GRANGERS’ PLATFORM.
The national convention of grangers
at St. Louis adopted a-platform of prin
ciples, the main features of which are:
The development of higher manhood and
womanhood; the reduction of expenses
of individuals, and co operation to buy
less and produce more; to discountenance
the credit mortgage fashion, and every
system pertaining to prodigality and
bankruptcy; to buy and sell and act together
for mutual protection; to avoid litigation
as much as possible by arbitration in the
grange; to dispense with middle men; to
increase in every practicable way all
facilities for transportation; oppose com
munism, agrarianism, excessive salaries,
high rates of interest and exorbitant
percentage of profits in trade; assert
that the grange is not a political or
party organization, and that no grange
can discuss political or religious ques
tions, call political conventions,, nomi
nate candidates, nor even discuss their
merits in meeting, but that it is tbe
right of every member to do all in his
power, legitimately, to influence for good
the action of liny political party, to put
down bribery, corruption and trickery,
and to see that none but competent,
faithful, honest men are nominated for
positions of trust; also, inculcate the
proper appreciation of the abilities and
proper sphere of woman as indicated by
admitting her to membership and posi
tion in the order.
According to the report of Dudley W.
Adams, master of the national grange,
granges have been established in thirty-
two states and two territories. There
is also in operation a provincial grange
organization in Quebec. There are be
tween 11,000 and 12,000 organizations
and not far from. 1,000,000 members.
The organization has flourished more
prosperously in Iowa than in any other
state, there being more bran< h -s there
now than in all other states put together.
Missoni i has between 1,400 and 1.500
granges, with a membership of at least
60,000, whereas eighteen months ago
there were but two granges, and twelve
months ago there were but nineteen.
Tho French government, acting on
the recommendation of the committee on
fortifications, has determined to keep
for the next live years, 5,000 pairs of
carrier pigeons for breeding purposes
for service in -war time. Each fortress
will have a military pigeon-house, and
each pigeon house will contain 1.000
birds. Two general stations will be
established, ’at each of which 60,000
pigeons will be kept. The German
fortresses at Metz and Strasburg have
been for a year past connected with tho
other German forts by a system of carrier
pigeons.

THE GREAT REMEDY FOR
CONSUMPTION
which can be cured by a
timely resort to this stand
ard jjreparation, as has been
proved by the hundreds of
testimonials received by the
proprietors. It is acknowl
edged by many prominent
physicians to be the most
reliable preparation ever in
troduced for the relief and
cure of all Lung complaints,
and is offered to the public,
sanctioned by the experience
of over forty years. "When
resorted to in season it sel
dom fails to effect a speedy
cure in the most severe
cases of Coughs, Bronchitis,
Croup, Whooping Cough,
Influenza, Asthma, Colds,
Sore Throat, Paiqs or Sore
ness in the" Chest and Side,
Liver Complaint, Bleeding
at the Lungs, &c. "Wistaria
Balsam does not diy up a
Cough, and leave the cause
behind, as is the case with
most preparations, but it
loosens and cleanses 'tho
lungs, arid allays irritation,
thus removing the cause of
the complaint.
