Hire. Burlington In Augusta.
If it be that Mrs. Partington gave ex
pression to the following sentiment, it is
probablo that she must have beeu in our
city lately, or has been pierusing some
recent numbers of tbe Slangwhanger.
“ If there is anybody under the canister
of heaven that I have in utter excreconce,’
says tbe old lady, “ it is the slander, going
about like a boy constructor, circulating his
calomel upon honest folks.”
“Dr. N«wtan»Hralrr.”
A large number of ladies and gentlemen
listened, yesterday noon, to tho explanation
of the great gift of Healing possessed by
Dr. J. R. Newton.
We do not know what to say about this
remarkable man. Many persons present,
who went upon the stage with divers dis
eases and complaints, left it cured or
healed, if we may credit their own asser
tions.
Dr. Newton will bo found at Masonic
Hall throughout the day, for a few days,
where he invites the lame, the halt, and
afflicted persons to come and ho healed,
free ot charge.
Christmas Krcrgrcctis.
As Christmas evergreens are hanging in
several churches and many residences, the
following instructions, taken from a similar
lot of ancient superstitions, should be heeded
by those who are not particularly anxious
to die this year: “If every* remnant of
Christmas decoration is not cleared out of
church before Candlemas Day—the Purifi
cation, February 2—there will be death
that year in the family occupying the pew
where a leaf or berry is left.” The above
also applies to private houses.
*<*.* - - -
Item lor TO others.
A Scotch protessor, we are very glad to
state, condemns in strong terms the prac
tice children to go about with
out sufficient covering for their legs. He
truthfully says that mothers commit child
murder, and then wonder how God could
be so unkind as to take away their darling.
They not only murder their children, but;
in his opinion, commit suicide themselves
by exposing their necks to the cold air. It
is a puzzle to him, that women should cut
off the tops of their dresses, and appear
with bare bosoms iu refined society, while
that part of the dress winch should protect
the heart, lungs, and other vital organs, is,
trailing in tbe mud.
Where Will il End »
It is bad enough to introduce partisan
ship into trade, into our churches, into
literary associations, and into jury rooms—
without exhibiting the spirit in the manage
ment of the street cars. Persons of all
political affinities, and of every shade of
color, are supposed to be patrons of this
new enterprise—the street cars—and we,
therefore, mention that on yesterday the
Superintendent gave notice (to the readers
of the Chronicle and Constitutionalist) that,
“on account of the present condition of the
track, the cars will commence running at
seven instead of six in the mornings, from
this date,” which fact ive announce gratuit
ously for the benefit of our city readers.
Good Coffee.
It is doubted whether one family in a
dozen knows what really “ good coffee” is.
Never buy your coffee ground, but grind it
yourself, immediately before using it;
keep your coffee pot, whatever kind you
may use, wiped clean and dry inside; a
damp tea or coffee pot acquires a musty
flavor that spoils the best tea or coffee.
The cheapest and perhaps the best coffee
pots are those made on tho French plan,
called cafetieres. If you have not one of
these, adopt the following plan : Put your
freshly ground coffee into the coffee pot,
previously made warm, and pour upon it
water actually boiling ; get the pot by the
side of the fire for a few seconds, but do
not let it boil up ; then pour a cupful out
and return it back again to the pot in
order to clear it; having done this lot it
stand on the hob or centre to settle, and
in less than five minutes a transparent,
strong, aromatic cup of coffee may be
poured out. The proportions of coffee
(which should not be too finely ground)
recommended, are an ounce to a pint or
pint and a half of water.
The milk used with coffee should always
be boiled and used as hot as possible ; the
boiling of milk imparts a peculiar and
exceedingly pleasant flavor to the coffee.
White sugar is recommended, as tho rao
lassee-like flavor of moist sugar quite over
powers the delicate aroma.
Contest Between lire Engines.
At the Louisiana State Fair recently
held in New Orleans, a novel trial of en
gines was had. A hand engine was to run
half a mile with a horse, with 50 feet of
hose and ten men, to run to best advan
tage, take suction and throw water through
50 feet of hose in the shortest time.
Eight companies entered, the first of which
made the half mile in 2:27 and water was
thrown in 131 Beconds, making tho time
from the start, 2:401. Another mado the
time in 2:141, and had water in 2:371.
The winner made the half mile in 221 and
bad a stream on in 2:34. A heavy rain
coming np made tho track difficult and
dangerons, and the last company was
reluctantly compelled to withdraw.
A trial of this kind, remarks the Savan
nah Advertiser, is far better adapted to
show tho real effectiveness of the engines
than the usual stylo of giving the approval
to the one that throws tho farthest or
highest, for at conflagrations it is prompt
ness in reaching tho fire and rapidity in
getting to work which makes the services
of the eDgine valuable.
Increase of BmlffHtUM.
Official returns just made thow that the
emigration into tins country was larger
in 1867 than in any other year aince 1854,
and except that year and the three pre
ceding it, the largeac in all our sbistory.
Many crossed the border from Canada, but
of those no record is given. Os those who
came to us by sea, the number wns in
1867, 242,371. Iu 1854, the number was
as high us 319,223; in 1853, 284.945; iu
1852, 300,992. The number ran down to
78,589 in 1858, and to 65,529 in 1861. It
was 233,398 in 1866, and seems to bo
again steadily increasing. The larger
proportion came from Great Britain and
Germany. Thus in 1867, 117,591 were
from Germauy; 65,137 from Ireland, and
about 40,000 from England, Scotland
and Wales ; leaving less than 20,000 for
all other countries.

How to Make Coal East.
Some housekeepers act upon the suppo
sition that an addition of tho fuel will cause
increase combustion, and consequently de
velop additional warmth. This is an
expensive mistake. It is only smothering
and retarding tbe fire to put in a thick
layer of coal, or as some do, fill the fire-box
from a layer of two inches of ignited coal
to its utmost capacity with fresh fuel. No
more coal should bo put on a fire at one
time than will readily ignite and give off a
pure white flame—not a blue flame, as that
denotes the presence of unconsumed gases.
In clearing the grates of coal stoves in the
morning, there is always to be found a
quantity of unburnt coal which has been
externally subjected to combustibles. It is
covered with aßhes, and looks like cinders.
It is often dumped into the ash-box. The
fact is that the lump is only roasted on the
outside, not even cooked, and is in a better
condition for igniting than the green coal-
Never waste it. Attention to these few
hints will save many dollars in a winter.
The experiment is at least worth tryiug.
Tlie Bankrupt Lair,
The applications for the benefit of the
Bankrupt Act have materially increased of
late, a fact mainly due to a clause which
provides that insolvents must commence
proceedings within the fiiet year of the
law, in order to obtain its benefits, unless
their estates will pay at least fifty per cent
on their indebtedness. The first year
expires on the second day of March en
suing, after which tbe law will be in
operation, unless the fifty per cent, clause
shall be repealed—which it is to be hoped
Congress will attend to without delay.
The policy of a periodical liquidation of
all debt upon condition of surrendering in
good faith all the property of the debtor,
is not doubted in any commercial commu
nity. Nor.does the enactment of a law
discharging the bankrupt from any ante
cedent liabilities imply repudiation, since
every contract is made under a notice that
the Government may, at any time, by a
general bankrupt act, annul the obligation
of the debtor. The effect of such an
exercise of power is very valuable to
society. It ascertaius the responsibility of
meu, and teaches the commercial public
how far they are to be credited upon the
ostensible possession of property.
Upon the class of individuals liberated
the effect is even more important. Re
lieved from a weight of debt which absorbs
all their industry—fearing that any acqui
sition held as tho basis of more efficient
effort may be seized by some impatient
creditor, tho best energies of a debtor are
lost to himself and to society, and men
who are capable of conducting enterprises
ot great value are condemned to a Hubor .’i'
nate position. Tho liberation of so much
enterprise, the stimulus of so much hope,
mast add greatly to the resouiees and pro
gress of the nation.
Tl»c Cotton Tax.
The repeal of the cotton tax has been
made the subject of so much Congressional
wrangling and contradictory efforts at leg
islation, that, notwithstanding the vast im
portance of the subject to our people, very
many persons are in doubt as to the real
condition of tho measure at the present
time. The facts are briefly these: The bill,
as originally passed by the House, simply
provided for a repeal of the tax on all
cotton grown after last year; the Senate
substituted a provision for suspending the
tax one year, and also for the importation
of cotton this year free of duty. The House
refused to agree to this substitute, and the
hill accordingly went into a committee of
conference, which reported that an agree
ment could not he reached. The reason
was that the Senate members of the com
mittee insisted on the provision levying a
tax of one cent per pound on all cotton
grown after the present year. Subsequently,
Mr. Sherman carried certain instructions
through the Senate, and the bill was then
sent,to another conference committee,which
agreed upon a report providing for the
simultaneous repeal of the tax on our own
cotton, grown hereafter, and of the tariff
on foreign cotton, which, under the existing
law, pays a duty of three cents per pound.
In this shape tho bill, it was hoped, would
have proved acceptable; but upon its pre
sentation in the House on Friday, it was
summarily rejected, and a third conference
committee appointed, in whose hands the
measure now rests.
