Drlak tar Milch t»wi.
Cowi that give milk in winter, says the
Maine Farmer, will add much to their
profit by giving theta a bucketful of tvarm
water twico a day, with a little meal, or
eveu the ilop of the family in it. Every
one has noticed how an extremely cold
day will affect their milk, or whenever
they become wet in summer. A little salt,
with meal floating on the surfsco of such a
drink, will soon teach any cow how to
drink it.
Mr. Blodactt** speech.
The Atlanta Intelligencer (Anti-Recon
struotionist as it is) thus alludo’s to Mr.
Blopoktt’s speech on "Rolief.” in the
State Convention, on Tuesday ;
Never have the halls of legislative
bodies in this country rcSchoed such
thrilling eloquence. Ho held the en
tire audienoe enchanted, as by a spell,
and it will be many years before his talis
manic influence shall cease to bo felt by
those who heard him.
A Bargain.
In the show window of a certain dry
goods store, there was posted, not many
years since, this placard : “ iNo Reasonable
Offer Re/useJ.” It chanced that a very
pretty maiden was elerk in the establish
ment. A youth being somewhat enamored
of the fair lady, noticed the placard as he
was passing by, and at onco rushed into
the store, when tho following conversation
ensued. “ I noticed your placard in the
window, and thought I’d come in.” “Yes,”
said the lady, “glad to see jou ; let mo scl 1
you some goods.”
“ Well,” said the youth, “I would like to
buy some dry goods, but I want a pretty
little face in 'em. I thought as you refused
no reasonable offer, I would take the best
dress pattern you have, and also yourself.”
“Very well,” said the fair clerk, “ I must
stick to the text. It’s a trade. Pay for the
dress, and I’ll throw myself into it, in the
bargain.” There was soon after a wedding,
and the sign “No reasonable offer refused,”
became quite popular among the lady
clerks of the city.

Titles to Real Estate.
There recently occurred a peculiar evse,
in Philadelphia, which shows the insuffi
cient protection afforded by the present
law to purchasers of property, and at the
same time is calculated to cause no small
anxiety among conveyancers. The facts
are few. A suit was brought and judg
ment given against a real estate owner in
that city. A motion was made to open
the judgment and graut anew trial. The
motion was allowed. At the new trial,
the previous verdict was re-affirmed, but
between the opening of the first judgment
and the giving of the second verdict, the
property was conveyed. The purchaser
brought his case to a well known convey
ancer, of great respectability, and left with
him the question of title. The convey
ancer referred the case to a lawyer, who
gave as his opinion that tho opening of the
judgment was equivalent to setting it
aside, and that the conveyance was legal.
On the strength of this opinion, tho con
veyancer passed the title as good. Subso
quently the Court decided that the judg
ment was not set aside by being opened,
and consequently the title was imperfect*
Failing to recover the money from the
owner, the purchaser had resort to tho
conveyancer, and the jury rendered a ver
dict against him for the entire amount.
This is the first case, we believe, which
has occurred, iu which the question of the
liability of a professional man for error of
opinion has been fairly before the courts,
aud the decision .is calculated to make
gentlemen pause before they venture
heedlessly into a decided opinion. If a
conveyancer is liable for such an error, a
lawyer is equally subject to the same
danger.
Liabilities of Hotel juts.
The Supreme Court of Georgia hast just
made a decision—in substance: An inn
keeper is bound to extraordinary diligence
in preservsug the property of his guests
entrusted to his care, and is liable for the
same if stolen, when the guest has complied
with all reasonable rules of the inn. In
case of the loss of the goods entrusted to
the inn-keeper by his guest, the presumption
is want of proper diligence in his landlord.
In an action to charge an inn keeper for
the loss of a trunk and its contents, the
wife of the plain tiff is admissible to prove
the contents of the trunk, independent of
the Act of 18liC, where no farther evidence
is obtained, upon a policy Javorcm justicice ,
springing out of the necessity of the case
and the nature of the subject.
Baggage is such articles of necessity or
personal convenience as are usually carried
by passengers for their personal use, and
what are such articles must in each case be
determined by the jury from the facts and
circumstances which belong to it.
When a hotel keeper sends his porter to
the cars to receive the baggage of persons
travelling, and baggage is delivered to the
porler, and the traveller becomes the guest
of the hotel, the liability of the inn-keeper
as such for the baggage begius on the
delivery to the porter, and continues until
re-delivered to the actual custody of the
guest. And if the porter of the inn keeper
take charge of the baggage at the hotel to
deliver it at the cars for the gnest, the
liability ol the inn-keeper continues until
the baggage be delivered. It devolves on
the inn-keeper to show such tacts ns will
discharge him from liability on account ol
such baggage.
Roles or Health.—Never hang yourself
out of an open window when you go to bod.
In cold weather, always wear thick, warm
clothing about your body. If you haven’t
money enough to buy it, attend an extin
guishablo conflagration in the vicinity of a
tirst class clothing shop. If you are quite a
small baby, be careful that there arc no pins
in your clothes, and always take a drink of
milk punch out of a bottle with a gum
thing on the nozzle before you get into your
cradle. In eating raw oysters, always peal
the slicels off before swallowing. The shells
are indigestible, and apt to lie on the
stomach.
A long-bearded miller at Logan, Ohio, the
other day, carelessly suffered his flowing
honors to get caught in a revolving shaft.
Bracing himself promptly, his heard was torn
out by the roots.

The Conventions-
GEORGIA.
The Relief Rill Banned.
Atlanta, February s.— The Convention
passed tho relief clause to day—yeas, 82 ;
nays, 45. It denies jurisdiction to the
Courts over all debts contracted prior to
the surrender, but leaves it discretionary
with a majority of the Legislature to con
fer jurisdiction in all cases except as to
the purchase of slaves.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Charleston, Feb. 4-—The Convention
to-day passed an ordinance invalidating
negro bonds by a voti of 9G ayes to 17 noes.
Nothing else of importance.
Charleston. Feb. s.—ln the Convention
to-day, the Bill of Rights was read for the
first time, and is liberal in its provisions-
The right of suffrage is asserted without
qualification ; the judiciary, with few ex
ceptions, are elected by the people for
various terms, ranging from one to four
years ; entire judicial system of the State
is changed, and expense of legal machinery
greatly increased ; anew penal code is to
be prepared and revised decennially. The
Constitution provides for a school system
and compulsory attendance for twenty-four
months on all children between six and
sixteen ; reformatory schools and agricul
tural colleges are to be established; all
schools and colleges supported by public
funds to be open to all, irrespective of race
or color.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Raleigh, February s.—The Convention
has been occupied the past two days on
the relief measure. It passed to-day, after
considerable opposition, nearly as reported
by the Committee,
FLORIDA.
Tallahassee, Feb. s.—The disruption of
the Convention is a fixed fact. A majority
of the members, yesterday, absented them
selves, leaving the body without a quorum.
The majority allege that there is fraud
and deception in the rules, and arbi
trary decisions of the chair, from wnich
they have no appeal by the rules. They
declare that they are powerless in the Con
vention, and that the voice of the majority
is not allowed an expression.
Il is expected that the majority of the
Convention will assemble, to-morrow, in the
Senate Chamber, and frame a Constitution.
They deny the eligibility of Pierce, Billing,
Richards, Saunders, and Walker, to seats,
on the ground that the former are not
voters nor citizens of the State, and that
Walker was judge of election, and ineligible
under Gen. Pope’s order.
A strong disposition prevails among the
majority, white and colored, to plant them
selves on universal suffrage, and against any
proscriptive policy but a proper disqualifica
tion upon ex-rebels from holding office.
The minority are holding a secret session
allowing no spectators, and are rapidly form
ing a Constitution, without a quorum. They
passed a resolution yesterday, declaring that
the absent members were obstructing recon
struction, and calling on the military author
ities to insure their attendance. Col. Fleet,
commanding, replied by producing an order
from General Meade, that the military au
thorities have no power to interfere in any
way with the Convention.
The excitement is increasing, and a pro
found interest is felt in the effort to maintain
the authority ct the majority. At o p. ra
the minority of the Convention continued in
secret session. The proceedings which have
transpired is as follows :
A resolution to pay members ten dollars
per day from date; adopted Pope’s order
110, which gives each delegate pay for
twenty days before the Convention; also,
mileage of eight dollars for each twenty
miles of travel. Also legislated in regard to
the military, aud passed an ordinance pro
viding a penalty lor intimidation at elections.
LOUISIANA.
New Orleans, February o. —ln the
Convention, tho vote yesterday on tho
question ol mixed schools was almost
unanimous.
Articles 143 to 143. under the title of
militia, were adopted to day.
Citizens disfranchised by reconstruction
or this constitution, are not liable to militia
duty.
Militia officers must take the oath pre
scribed for U. S. Army officers aud State
officers.
Article 146 prescribes the method of
amending the Constitution—a majority of
voters to ratify the amendment.
Adjourned.
MISSISSIPPI.
Jackson, Feb. 4.—Nothing of general
interest done in Convention to-day.
A Convention of the Republican party of
Mississippi will meet here to-morrow to
nominate candidates for State offices and
Congress.
A. J., Stanton, and Grant.
Washington, Feb. s.—The President
and Stanton have had neither written or
personal conversation since August 12th-
The President's letter to Grant, January
3lst, contains this paragraph:
“You had found in our first conference
that the President was desirous of keeping
Mr. Stanton out of office, whether sustained
in bis suspension or not. Yon know what
reasons had induced the President to ask
from you a promise. You also knew that
in case your views of duty did not accord
with his own convictions, it was his purpose
to fill your place by another appointment-
Even ignoring the existence of a positive
understanding betweeh us, these conclusions
were plainly deducible from our varions
conversations. It is certain, however, that
even under these circumstances, you did
not offer to return the plate to my posses
sion ; but, according to your: own state
ments, placed yourself in a position, when,
could I have anticipated your action, I
would have been compelled to ask of your
predecessor in the War Department, a letter
of resignation, or else to resort to the more
disagreeable expedient of suspending you
by a successor.”
Grant’s letter of February 3d, alluding to
the President’s letter of January 31st, and
newspaper articles, says :
“I find it to be but a reiteration, only
somewhat more in detail, of the rnauy and
gross misrepresentations contained in these
articles, and which my statement of the facts
set forth in niy letter of the 28th ultimo was
intended to correct: and here I reassert the
correctness of my statements in that letter
anything in yours in reply to it to the con
trary. notwithstanding.”

A joint resolution, authorizing the Secre
