House Servants.
Hiring house servants in the South is a
sure and never ending trouble. The colored
people have very vague ideas of responsi
bility and the manner in which they obtain
their situation encourage their disposition to
be careless and indolent. They leave Mr.
Jones to day, and arc hired by Mr. Smith
to morrow. Certificates of character are
not systematically required, and a smooth
face and long tongue will generally secure
for the possessor any vacancy that may exist
in the sweeping, cooking, or washing de
partments of a super-respectable family.
Housekeepers do not reflect that they throw
their houses open to strange servants who
have but half a name and not a vestige of
local habitation. They give them the run
of their yards, rooms and closets, and yet arc
surprised if petty thefts are common, and
extensive robberies not unusual.
The remedy is an obvious one. No ser
vant should be employed who does not
bring a certificate of character, and this
rule should be inflexibly observed. Servants
will then know that unless they behave well
they will not find work again, and this
knowledge will tend to make them respectful,
faithful and dilligent. It will make situa
tions valuable, will prevent those sudden
departures which now throw households into
confusion, and will teach servants that
honesty, industry and good conduct alone
will secure them a profitable and respectable
livelihood. In this way what is called the
“engaging occupation’’ may be made toler
ably safe and pleasant.
How to Make n City.
A good illustration of what manufactures
will do for a place when encouraged is
afforded by the flourishing town of Cantqp,
Ohio, where reapers and mowers are made.
When the inventor went there, a few’ years
ago, it was the dullest and least progres
sive town in the State, and was retrograding
in wealth and population. He asked for
ten thousand dollars from the citizens, to
help him start a manufactory. They
raised and gave it to him. The following
are the results ol the investment: Two
large agricultural implement manufac.
tories, of ploughs exclusively, one of stoves
and hollow ware, one of reaper and mover
knives, and of saddlery hardware, two of
horse rakes, one of farm wagons, one of
cultivators, one of wrought iron bridges,
°ne of soaps, and others more or less
extensive. These are not small concerns.
Ihe machine interest alone supports two
thousand five hundred men. The town
has trebled in population, quadrupled in
wealth, besides developing a home market
for farm products which is stimulating
production and enriching farmers in the
country tributary to it. This is how the
smart people of Ohio get along.
Important to Wheat Growers.
Au old and experienced farmer gives it as
a fact that the following method is a sure
prevention of the insect .veavel in wheat-
In piling up your wheat alter it has been
cleaned with the fan, to every three bushels
put in a good hard brick, well dried by the
sun, and be sure it is perfectly dry at the
time you use it. The brick absorbs the
moisture that naturally accumulates in the
grain and causes it to become so hard and
flinty that the insect or fly cannot penetrate
the outer covering. We are assured by
persons who have made the experiment is sq
easy and simple, we would advise our friends
who grow or deal in wheat to try it.
Mad
This being the season of the year when
nervous people are disturbed in their
sleep by visions of mad dogs, we give our
readers the benefit of the system of
treatment for the bite of a mad dog which
prevails in Morocco. The remedy is one
that admits of instant application, and is
as effectual as it is summary. A Moor
always carries some gunpowder in his
pouch, and when he is bitten he takes out
a handful, and, having deepened and en
larged the wound with his knife, with as
much carelessness and indifference as if he
were the most practiced hospital surgeon,
rubs the powder in the sore. Having
made a little pyramid on the flesh, he
allows it to dry for a few minutes in the
sun. A match is then applied, and the
operation terminates with a fiz, which has
the double effect of cleansing the wound
and staunching the blood. No evil conse
quences follow beyond an ugly scar, testi.
fying to the courage and endurance of the
operator.

A’AJfA’S, JGNS, AND BIRTHPLACES
UNITED STATES SENATORS.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Express furnishes the following
information concerning U. 8. Senators,
which will be found interesting:
Out of a Senate composed of fifiy four
members, New England gave birth to not
less than twenty two of them, while New
York claims seven, Ohio seven, Pennsyl
vania three, New Jersey two, Delaware two,
Maryland two, Kentucky two, Virginia two,
and Tennessee, Indiana, and Illinois, each
one. “Auld Ireland,” alone of foreign lands,
furnishes one—Conness, of California. The
only Slates which originally furnished both
their own Senators now representing them,
are Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and
Maryland. Every New England Senator
is a native of New England, besides ten
furnished to other States.
Maine gave birth to Senators Howe and
Morrill (of Maine.)
New Hampshire, to Chandler, Fessenden,
Grimes, Patterson (of N. H.) and Wilson.
Vermont, to Morrill (of Vt.), Edmunds,
Howard and Cragin.
■ Massachusetts, to Ccrbett, Morgan, Pome
roy, Sumner, Thayer and Wade.
Connecticut, to Dixon, Ferry and Trum
bull.
Rhode Island, to Sprague and Anthony.
New York, to Cole, Conkling, Doolittle,
Nye, Stewart. Van Winkle an 1 Williams.
New Jersey, to Cattell and Frelinghuysen.
Pennsylvania, to Cameron, Buckilew and
Ramsey.
Delaware, to Bayard and Saulsbury.
Maryland, to Johnson and Vickers.
Ohio, to Drake, Fowler, Norton, Russ,
Hendricks, Sherman and Tipton.
Virginia, to Henderson and Wiley.
Kentucky, to Yates, Davis and MeCreery.
Illinois, to Harlan.
Indiana, to Morton.
Tennessee, to Patterson of Tennessee.
It will be observed that New England,
New York, and Ohio, combined, have fur
nished just two thirds of the present Senate.
Ohio and New York alone furnish u
surplus often Senators—equal to the surplus
number furnished by entire New England.
The Senators who are now serving out
their third terms are Bayard, Cameron,
Fessenden, Harlan, Sumner, Trumbull,
Wade, and Wilson. Cameron and Revcrdy
Johnson entered the Senate together in
1845, and were associated with Clay, Cal
houn, and Webster. Bayard, Sumner, and
Wade followed in 1851.
The Senate is composed very largely,
of lawyers. The exceptions are Anthony
and Ross, editors; Cameron, railroad man
ager ; Cattell, banker; Chandler, Morgan,
Corbett, and Morrill of Vermont, merchants ;
Sprague, manufacturer, and Wilson, shoe
dealer.
About one half are college educated men—
Harvard boasts as her son Senator Sumner;
Yale claims Ferry and Stewart; Brown
University, Anthony and Thayer; Williams,
Dixon and Howard ; Dartmouth, Grimes
and Patterson of N. II.; Amherst, Pomeroy;
Wesleyan University, Cole of Californina;
Bowdoin, Fessenden; Waterville, Morrill
of Maine; Rutgers, Frelinghuysen ; Geneva,
Doolittle; Dickinson College, Saulsbury;
Franklin College, Ohio, Fowler; Asbury
University, Indiana, Harlan ; South Hanover
College, Hendricks; St. John’s, Maryland,
Revcrdy Johnson ; Miami University, Mor
ton; Kenyon College, Norton ; and Madison
College, Pennsylvania, Senators Tipton and
Willey.
On examination of the family records of
our distinguished Senators, 1 find that the
oldest is that stern old Roman, Revcrdy
Johnson, soon, probably, to represent this
nation at the Court of St. James. His age
is 72; while Sprague, the most juvenile of
the Senators, is but 38. Cameron is G 9;
Wade, 68; Davis, 67; Bayard, about 61;
Howard, 63; FeSsenden, 62; Vanwinkle, 60;
Morrill of Vermont, 58; and Willey, Mor
gan, Sumner and Drake, each 57 ; Wilson
is 56, while Trumbull, Chandler and Morrill
of Maine are each 55. Dixon is 54, followed
by Doolittle, Ramsey, Anthony and Nye,
each 53. Cattell, Grimes, Howe and Pome
roy are 52; Tipton ami Frelinghuysen, 51;
Yates, 50; Patterson of Tennessee, and
Hendricks, 49 ; Thayer, Harlan and Sauls
bury, 48; Conness, Cragin and Buckalew,
47; Fowler and Cole, 46; Sherman, Wil
liams, Morton, Ferry, and Patterson ot New
Hampshire, are of the same age, 45 ; Hen
derson and Ross are 42; Corbett and Stewart,
41; Edmunds, 40; Norton and Conkling, 39;
and Sprague 38. Norton being six months
older than Conkling, the latter is the next
youngest man in the Senate. Senators Mc-
Creery, of Kentucky, and Vickers, of Mary
land, who came lately into that body, are not
included in this list. They would not change
the extremes, however.
