to miud the fact, that potatoes are al

The Baltimore Municipal Elec
tion. —The Baltimore Municipal Elec
tion took place last Wednesday, and
resulted in the success of the Radicals,
as annexed telegrams to the National
Intelligencer show:
Baltimore, Oct. 10—The election is
progressing quietly hero, and the judges
are receiving the votes of those regis
tered in 1863.
The conservatives are making no
efforts to elect their candidate.
Not a single disturbance has been
reported so far.
Baltimore, Oct. 10. —John Lee
Chapman was to-day re-elected Mayor.
The whole Republican Council ticket
was elected.
Chapman’s majority is 2,840. The
vote is very light, being controlled en
tirely by the original registration list.
Baltimore, Oct. 10.—Cbapmau has
2,843 majority.
The Republicans have carried every
ward in the city and elected all the
Council ticket.
Technical Words. — In reading, we
frequently come across technics with
which we are unacquainted, the under
standing of which is necessary to give
us a correct idea of the subject. To
obviate this difficulty we give a defini
tion of some of the most common:
A firkin of butter. bo pounds
A sack of coal .....224 pounds
A truss of straw 36 pounds.
A stave of hemp 32 pounds
A sack of flour 98 pounds
A quintal 100 pounds
A piggot of steel 120 pounds
A truss of hay 56 pounds
A bash 80 pounds
A kilderin 18 gallons
A barrel 36 gallons
A hogshead 54 gallons
A puncheon.. „ 84 gallons
English prices current often speak of
the price of wheat per quarter —to re
duce this to barrels, multiply the price
by 7 and divide by 12, and it will g}vo
the price at the same rate, by the barrel.
Thus—if wheat is quoted is at 56 shil
lings a quarter, multiply 56 by 7, and
divide by 12, and it gives the price,
32 shillings 8 pence a barreh
To Remove Mildew flom Muslin.—
Put the muslin on an earthen platter
and pour over it a strong soap-suds, to
which a teaspoonful of soda is added.
Set it in a strong sunlight three or four
days, or longer if needed, adding more
suds to make up the evaporation, and
turning once or twice a day to expose
all parts of the fabric. I have used
this with great success for a number of
years. Stir a quarter of a pound of
chloride of lime in a gallon of cold
water. After settling pn hour, pour off
the clear liquid, and soak the mildewed
cotton or linen in it two hours ; wash
well and expose to the sun.
The Indians in Colorado Terri
tory.—Governor Cummings, of Golo*
rado, informs the Commissioner of In
dian Affairs, that General Carson, com
madding at Fort Garland, thinks that
he .can, by careful management, pre
vent the hostile feelings now existing
among the Utah Indians from spread
ing to the Tabagaachi-Utes, of Colora
do, who have been quite restless of late,
on account of delays in the receipt of
their promised annuities. The goods
had arrived, and Governor Cummings
intended to vistribute them ft once.
A W ondkrful CniLD.— The annals
of precocity present no more remarkable
instance than the brief Career of Chris
tian Heinecker, born at Lubeck, Feb
ruary 6, 1721. At the age of ten months
he could repeat every word which was
said to him ; when twelve months old he
knew by heart the principal events
narrated in the Pentateuch; in hit se
cond yeeh he learned the greater part of
the history of the Bible, both of the old
and New Testament; in his third year
he could reply to most questions on uni
versal history and geography, and in the
same year he learned to speak Latin
and French; in hia fourth year he.em
ployed himself in the study of religion
and the history of the church, and he
was able not only to repeat what he had
read, but affo to reason bpcm it, and ex
press his own judgment. ’
The King of Denmark wishing to see
this wonderful child, he was taken to
Copenhagen, there examined before the
court, and proclaimed to be a wonder.
On his return home, he learned to write,
but, his constitution being weak, he
shortly after fell ill; he died on the 27th
of June, 1726, without, it is said, show
ing much uneasiness at the approach of
death. This account of him by his
teacher is confirmed by many respect
able cotemporary authorities. Martini
published a dissertation at Lubeck, in
whioh he attempted to account for the
circumstances of the child’s early devel
opment of intellect.
It cannot be too generally known that
extreme precocity like this is of the
nature of disease, and a subject lor the
gravest care. In a precocious child,
the exercise of the intellect, whether it
lessens or otherwise, should be discour
aged and controlled, not, as it too often
is, stimulated, if there be any sincere
desire that the child should live.
Perjury.—We see from our exchanges
that the Circuit Judges in different por.
tions of country, are directing the atten
tion of Grand Juries to the cases of
persons who have taken the “test oath”
falsely, and charging them strictly in
reference to ail such. Evidently every
one who either sought or held office
uu ler the “so-called” Confederate Gov
ernment, and afterward has taken the
“test oath,” will come under the head of
perjury, because, if we understand
properly the purport of this oath, he
who takes it swears that he never did
“seek nor hold” office under the “sc
called” Confederate Government.-P7ori
da ( Tampa) Peninsula.
Redemption of Mutilated Cur
rexcy. —lt has been decided by the
Acting Comptroller of the Currency that
mutilated notes must be redeemed by
the redemption agencies of the national
banks at the commercial centres so long
as no reasonable doubt exists as to the
identity of the note presented. When
the notes are so badly mutilated as to
make the value or identity difficult to
determine, the case should be referred to
the bank by which they are issued.
A Model Mayor. —The Mayor, or
Chief Municipal officer of a French
village, was recently notified to take all
necessary precautions to prevent the
spread of the cholera, which had ap
peared in a neighboring town. The
zealous officer obeyed his orders so
literally that he had a number of graves
dug in the cemetery, sufficient to accom
modate the whole population.
Another one of the Conscience
Stricken. United States Treasurer
Spinner has lately received from the
Rev. Arthur J. Donelly, pastor of St.
Michael’s Church, New York, a com
munication containing two one hundred
dollar United States seven-thirty Treas
ury notes, which were given into his
hands by a penitent to be restored to
the Government. The notes were sold
and the proceeds ($215.07) transferred
to the credit of the United States.
The Existence of the Sun. —lt will
be gratifying to most of our readers to
know that a distinguished mathemati
cian has demolished the various theories
of solar heat, and demonstrated that, for
thirty million of years to come, the sun
will continue to afford sufficient caloric
to sustain human life upou the surface
of the earth.
Pardons. —The following gentlemen
were pardoned by the President on the
12th inst.: William B. Clement, of
Texas; William D. Porter, of South
Carolina, and John L. Vickers, of Lou
isiana.
