Transposition.
Every student of nouns, pronouns, and verbs, knows the
necessity of transposing language for the sake of ascertaining
its grammatical construction. The following, from the ‘Gem
of the Prairie, ’ shows twenty-eight different readings of one
of Gray's poetical lines, yet the sense is not affected.
The weary ploughman plods his homeward way,

The Kins of the Soil.
Black sin may nestle below a crest,
And crimes below a crown ;
hearts beat ’neatli a fustian vest,
As under a silken gown,
Shall tales be told of the chiefs \\ ho sold
Their sinews to crush and kill,
And never a word be sung or heard
Os the men who reap and till ?
I bow in thanks to the sturdy throng
, W ho greet the young morn with toil 5
And the burden I give niy earnest song
Shad be this—The Kings of the Soil!
Then sing for the Kings who have no crown
Hut the blue sky o’er the head—
!Xe\ei Sultan or Hey had such power as they,
To withhold or offer bread.
Proud ships may hold both silver and gold
The wealth of a distant strand ;
But ships would rot, and be valued not,
Were there none to till the land.
Tlie wildest heath, and the wildest brake,
Are rich as the richest fleet;
lor they gladden the wild birds when they wake,
And give them food to eat.
And with willing hand, and spade, and plough,
The gladdening hour shall come,
!\ hen that which is called the ‘waste land’ now
Shall ring with the ‘Harvest Home !’
Then sing for the Kings who have no crown
But ilie Blue sky o’er their head—
Never Sultan or Dey had such power as they
To withhold or offer bread.

Malleable Iron. —This branch of useful manu
factures is probably prosecuted to a greater extent
in this city than in any other part of the country; a
recent authentic account stating that but two estab
lishments of the kind existed in all New England,
and those two in Massachusetts; and we have no in
formation of their existing in any great numbers
elsewhere. In a statement ot a late number ot a
scientific work, it is said that the common grey Pig
Iron may be used in its manufactures; but we are
assured by persons well skilled and long used to mak
ing it, that it is not so, and that it requires pig iron
of peculiar quality, containing certain elements not
known to exist in more than three or four places
where iron ore is found. The Pig Iron is submitted
to a melting heat until it is in a state of fusion, when
it is refined through the action of an air furnace,
until all impurities are separated from it, it is then
poured into moulds or the required shapes for the
articles intended to be made. After cleaning the
castings of the sand which adheres to them, they
are placed in the annealing furnace, packed in me
tallic oxide, and submitted to nearly a white heat for
several successive days, i hese are the prominent
features of its manufacture. Some assert that the
common grey pig originally contains no carbon,
and that the carbon visible in the manufacture of
it is given by the action of the air furnace, and af
terwards divested of it by the annealing process.—
This we understand to be a mooted question, not
onlv with scientific men, but with practical manufac
turers. The subject is now under consideration by
one or two gentlemen of this city, who are making
an analysis of it, and will doubtless render a relia
ble opinion.
As to the uses to which malleable iron is put, few
can estimate their number and value—gas and hot
air pipe fittings, scale work, stove trimmings,
bell fixtures, entire shoe kits, ferules, hoes and rakes,
entire harness trimmings, a great variety of trim
ming about carriages, tin w orkers’ machines, coffee
mill trimmings, and*in tact almst every conceivable
article made from iron. The members of a firm en
gaged in its manufacturer in this city, were induced
about a year ago, to enumerate those that came
immediately uikler their observation, and they
reached the almost incredible number of 1720, and
they now estimate the number at not less than
2000. —Newark Advertiser.
Radical Cure for Corns.— ln the number of
L'Abeile Medical, of tlie sth of April, M. C. Mat
ton proposes a mode of curing corns without a re
sort to cutting instruments, lie advises that the feet
be soaked in water for a short time, and the most
projecting part of the coni be taken off with a pen
knife, or with the fingers; a stick of nitrate of silver
moistened.at the free extremity is then to be pressed
slightly over the whole surface of hardened cuticle,
and a litte beyond on the sound skin. The part to
w hich the caustic is applied should then be well dried
and let alone for ten days. A slight and hardly
perceptible vesication takes place, which, however, is
soon absorbed. At the end of eight or ten days, by
making some slight traetation with fingers or a pair
of dissecting forceps, from the circumference to the j
centre of the eschar, we may remove without the !
slightest pain, the hardened epidermis, so complete
ly as to leave no trace behind. Mr. Mutton pledges
himself that those who try his plan will be certainly
and radically cured. —Southern Medical Journal.

Iron Pavement.“lron is daily coming into more ’
geueral use for almost every purpose. A letter trom
Paris, of a late date says 1
“Anew pavement, to upset the Macadam and
other inventions of the kind, has been proposed by |
Mr. Tobard, who intends paving, in his way, the
streets and boulevards of Paris. The gentleman
proved by figures that melting iron is only worth 11
francs in Paris, 7 francs in Belgium, 4 1-2 francs in !
England; whilst the stone costs 25 francs in London,
15 francs in Paris, and 8 and 10 francs in Belgium.
This new- mode of pavement will be grooved, in or
der not to become slippery, and it is said that the
electricity occasioned by the rolling of carriages
will prevent rust. Here is anew field open to in
dustry.
Tobacco Land.— Prof. Johnson, in the course of
lectures delivered by him a short time since, before
the New York Agricultural Society, among many
valuable facts worth the attention of agriculturists,
stated that tobacco was a crop which contained much
mineral matter. Suppose, says Prof. Johnsou, an
acre to yield 800 pounds; these 800 pounds will
contain about 100 pounds of mineral matter, which
is carried off by tlie crop, aud in this way the land
will soon be exhausted. In four years, 600 pounds
of mineral matter would be carried off from an acre
of tobacco land. It is the duty of the farmer to
supply the mineral matter thus specially exhausted,
if lie wishes to sustain the soil. —Baltimore Ameri
can.
Maryland and Virginia have exhausted themselves
in growing tobacco for foreign markets. They have ex
tracted from tlie soil all that it contained that was
fitted to afford nourishment to vegetation, and they
have returned to tlie earth no part of the refuse of
its products. Ohio has followed in their wake, and
the conseqenee is, that her produce of wheat has
fallen to less than twelve bushels to the acre. The
further consequence of this is shown in the follow
ing paragraph, which we take from one of the jour
nals of the day:
“The Daily Scioto (Ohio) Gazette, of the 26th
inst., says that the emigration from Ohio to States
further West is very large this year. Ross county
alone has lost a number of its most influential citi
zens.”
The Black Spanish Fowl. —This beautiful and
truly valuable fowl has been almost forgotten of late,
owing to the rage for large breeds. The pure bird
of the fancy should be perfectly black, with large
legs and beak. The comb and wattles, of both cock
and hen, should be single, of very higli color and
large size: the comb of the hen drooping over on
one side.
Avery singular characterestic of this fowl is a
white cheek, which adds much to its beauty. It is
astutely bird, aud of a grave and majestic deport
ment.
The hens are the best of layers, producing a very
large, pure white egg; and as table birds they can
not be surpassed. Some breeders of distinction say
that they sometimes come with small white spots on
the back, making an appearance like small snow
flakes.
Different opinions are expressed with regard to
the color ot the leg. The black is generally pre
ferred, and I consider it the mark of the pure breed;
however, I have seen tine specimens with yellow legs;
and this color is not without its advocates also. Their
weight is trom five to seven pounds.
Some persons have an idea that the Spanish is a
long legged breed; bat in this they are very much
mistaken, it is not a long legged gawky fowl, with
more leg and thigh than any thing else; but it is
very well proportioned, in its general shape, both for
beauty aud utility.
Spurious specimens ot thi&fowl are very plenty—

Simple Remedy. —A simple application for a
horse’s feet which are brittle, or hoof bound, I learn
ed from an English sheer; and having'tried it with
good effect, and never having seen it fail, I send it
to you to be used as you may think proper.
Mix equal parts of tar and some soft grease,
having the foot clean and dry; apply it hot, but not
boiling, to all parts, letting it run under the shoe as
much as possible. In bad cases the application should
be made every day for a week, till the foot become
strong and smooth.
That Musical Cat. —There is a family at South
Boston who have a cat which is exceedingly fond of
music, and almost invariably seats herself beside
any member of the family when they commence
playing the piano. A few days since, when the fami
ly were engaged in another part of the house, they
heard sounds proceeding from the piano and repair
ed at once to the piano, where, much to their sur
prise, was Tabby discovered seated on the piano
stool, with her fore paws upon the keys, making them
fly in double quick time, evidently much delighted
her first effort, and also greatly to the edifica
tion of the family. So sooner, however, did the
mistress of the house appear than puss very politely
resigned her seat; but she has since resumed her at
tempts, seemingly with a determination to acquire a
knowledge of so desirable an accomplishment. — Bos
ton Journal.
Sensible Horses. —Laingin his travels in Nor
way, says that the horses in that country have a ve
ry sensible way of taking their food. Instead of
swilling themselves with a pailful of water at a
draught, no doubt from the fear of not getting any
again, and then overgorging themselves with dry
food for the same reason, they have a bucket of
water put down beside their allowance of hay. It
is amusing to see with what a relish they take a sip
of the one and a mouthful of the other alternately,
sometimes only moistening their mouths {is a ra
tional being would do w hile eating a dinner of such
dry food. A broken-winded horse is scarcely ever
seen in Norway.
To Keep Chimneys Clean. —lnstead of plaster
ing the inside of chimneys in the usual way, the
Albany Cultivator says, take mortar made of one
peck of salt to a bushel of lime, adding as much
sand loam as will render it fit to work, and then la v
on a thick coat. If the chimney has no off-set for
the soot to lodge on, it will continue perfectly clean
and free from danger of taking fire. A trial of three
years warrants the assertion.

Dahlias. —ln saving seeds for sowing never take
them in the centre: take none but petal seeds, for
they will give the largest proportion of double flow
ers. Chinhasters and dahlias have generally some
disc seeds, if they are even very double; therefore,
on taking the pod to get out the grains, begin from
outside, and when j r ou have got a few of the rows
of seed from them, throw the rest into a common
sort, which you may give away or sell, but building
upon the changes of good flowers, you will be much
better paid for your labor by the few outside seeds,
than you can by sowing the whole. This is worth
attention.

Moisture generally penetrates the soles of boots—

;Jo render the sole impervious to water, or
der your boot maker to cut pieces of canvass in the
proper shape, dip them in melted pitch or tar, and
lay them upon the inner soles before putting on the !

have tried the experiment, and would advise all
whose soles are afflicted with cold or dampness to do
: the same.— Norristown Register.
A Con ye nient Bed.—We see it stated that a |
portable bed, anew invention, has been introduced
into New \ork, and is attracting much attention. It
forms a soft and commodious couch, requires but lit

per hour are made as smooth as the surface of mar

i entirely new principle, being a succession of six sta
tionary places, of the width of the boards; the first
one acts as the fore-plane taking off’ a thick shaving,
and so on to the last one, which acts as a “jointer”
or finishing plane, each taking off a shaving of the
full length and width of the board. The machine
is driven by the four horse power of an engine, and
requires only three men to tend it; one to put in the
boards, one to remove the shavings and another to
take them off.
Early Potatoes.— By sprouting seed potatoes a

in covering, the writer has had potatoes four to six
inches high by the time that others came up, planted

Sarsaparilla Syrup. —Purchase of a druggist
j of known honest} 7 , fifteen ounces of Para Sarsaparil
la; split all the stalks in two lengthwise, and cut in
short pieces. Soak it in a gallon of pure water for
twenty-four hours, then boil it down to two quarts;
strain and add while boiling, fifteen ounces white
sugar; thicken all by a little additional boiling, pre
cisely as you make the syrup of preserves. Here you
have two quarts of pure syrup for eighty cents. The
dose is from a teaspoouful to a wineglassful, accord
ing to age, three times a day, but it would do no
harm if taken by the tumblerful; it is not hurtful in
any dose. If you make it, you are certain that you
get the genuine article—which is very doubtful if
you buy it.*
An Amusing occur hence. —A a ];mgli7-
hk*sconce occuroJ in l-'orc street. passing a
house where a red tlag was hung that some
infectious disease existed within, inqiMFd of one whom lie
met why the flag was suspended there.
“Got the small pox in there,” replied the man, hurrying
on.
The Frenchman paused and gazed at the flag and the
house for a moment, and then walked up to the door
and plied the knocker vigorously.
“What do you want sir?” inquired a woman, who cau
tiously opened the door.
“I want to sec grand show, Madame.”
“We have no show here,” said the woman, endeavoring
to keep the Frenchman from entering. “And you had bet
ter go away, for we have got the small pox here !”
“Aha, dat is it! ze little fox,” chuckled Monsieur, “Vy
you say no show, aha?”
“I tell you, sir, there is no show here ! we’ve got the small

“Saere dam !” cried the Frenchman, getting out of pa
tience, “zat is vat I say, two tree seventeen times—ze little
fox: la petit renard I will see ze grand show !
lie was proceeding to crowd himself in at the partially
opened door, when luckily a gentleman passing at the time
succeeded in making him comprehend that what he had tak
en for a “small fox” was an infectious disease.
The frightened foreigner reached the curbstone at a sin
gle bound, and with pale face and trembling limbs, hurried
off muttering—
“Ahpeste! I sal each ze Renard ! ah, I sal die! I will
be all over spotted! Ah, ze petite varolo !ze petite varolo!”

He had his Revenge.-*— A whiskey-loving acquaintance
of ours, Mac- , used to frequent, when “acknowledging
the corn” too decisively, a certain public house, the landlady
of which was a Mrs. L -, a terrible termagant, who wore
her high heeled shoes continually; and many was the time ‘
when Mac got snubbed, much to the wounding of his inebri- !
a ted dignity, (for he affected the mysteries of law, politics
and school-keeping.) On one occasion, when he was most
gloriously high, find she was tamer than usual, he approached
her with a drunkenly benignant smile, and told her he had
‘drea—hie-**— dreamed a dream all about him and her.” What
wits it?’ said she, With a curiosity Very singular in woman ! ‘I
drefltnpt that I died and Went to misery,’ ‘Well.’ ‘I knock
ed.’ ‘Who’sthere?’ ‘Mac .’‘Wherefrom?’ ‘W .’
‘Can’t come in. We’ve got one from there, and shall never |
venture another.’ ‘Who is it?’ ‘Mr*, B ■ the tavern
keeper's wife!’ Tho outraged and outrageous landlady
committed sin enough in the next half hour to verify the ex
travagance of his representation.— Oasis.
Where tiif. Lawyers Sit.—County court was sitting a
while ago in ,on the banks of the Connecticut. It
was not far from this time of year—cold weather, anyhow —
and a knot of lawyers hud collected around the old Franklin,
in the bar-room. The lire blazed, and mugs of flip were
passing away without a groan, when in came a rough, gaunt
looking‘babe of the woods,’ knapsack on shoulder and staff
in hand. He looked cold, and half perambulated the circle
that hemmed in the fire, as with a wall of brass, looking for
a chance to warm his shins. Nobody moved, however; and
unable to sit for lack of a chair, he did the next best thing—
leaned against the wall, ‘with tears in his fists and his eyes
| doubled up’—and listened to the discussion on the proper way
of serving a referee on a warrantee deed, as if he was the
judge to decide the matter. -Soon lie attracted the attention
“fjflie company, and a young sprig spoke to him. ‘You look
like a traveller.’ ‘Well I ’spose I am—l come from Wiscon
sin afoot “t any rate.’ ‘From Wisconsin? That is a dis
tance to go on one pair of legs. 1 say, did you ever
pass through h—ll on your travels?’ ‘Yis sir’ he answered
—a kind of wicked look stealing over his ugly phizmahogony
‘I ben through the outskirts.’ ‘I thought likely.
Well what are the manners and customs there ? Some of
us would like to know.’ ‘Ob’ says the pilgrim, deliberate
ly—half shutting his eyes and drawing round the corner of
his mouth till two rows of yellow stubs, with a mass of
masticated pig-tail, appeared through the slit in his cheek
—‘you’ll, find them much the same as in this region; the
lawyers sit nearest the fire.’
During a ‘ride up’ in one of the 22d street stages, the
other day, the omnibus was stopped, and two rosy-looking
children were tumbled in, followed by an Irishwoman of no
ordinary dimensions, who seated herself between a well
dressed elderly maiden lady, and a Wall street millionaire.
She was no sooner seated than she took both children on her
lap, in doing which the shoes of one rubbed against the
dress of the old maid, which offended her mightily, and, in a
huffy manner, she said:
‘I wish you’d keep that brat's feet off my dress, it* not a
foot rug.’
‘lndade, mum. I didn’t go to do it.’
‘I don’t suppose you did, but you will oblige me by sitting
on the other side, I dislike children.’
The woman with the children moved, and said, in a sar
castic tone, which set the people in a roar:
‘Well, lady, all the harm I wish ye*, is, that you may mar
ry the man that you love, and never have chick nor child to
bless your ould age.’
The Man who don’t want to be mean.— The Burling
ton Sentinel says that in one of the back towns of a neigh
boring State, where it is the custom for the district school
teacher to‘board round,’the following incident occurred, and
is vouched for by the highest authority. A year or two ago
an allotment being made in the usual manner for the
benefit of the school mistress, it happened that the proportion
man was ju? 1 - o days anil
! the thiru ,„i<i was beginning to eat,
when the man of the house aduleased her as follows: ‘Mad
am, I suppose your boarding time is out when you have eat half
a dinner, but I don’t want tube mean about it, you may eat,
if you choose, about as much as usual.’
A correspondent at Skunk’s Manor says that he has been
‘ treated, like a dog,’ and ho expects us to say by whom! (No,
no ; we know libel law !) So have ire been, in our capacity,
more times than you can shake a stick. What dog was it
that we were treated like? Not like Carlo, not like Trump
not like Sypliax. To lie on a warm rug, to lick a lady's hand,
to eat crackers, to be fed on tender Fine, to ride out in a car
riage, to be patted by a gentle hand, to have your part taken
in all quarrels, to pay nothing for board, washing, light,
fuel— that's being treated like a dog.’ We should like to
| be a dog at that rate.— Knickerbocker.
Force of Habit.—A literary man, quite a greedy bib
liomaniac, who had devoured bookshelves as a little school girl
devours slice after slice of bread and butter, and whose suc
cesses in literature are in equal proportion to his devouring
appetite (we are sorry we are not at liberty to mention his
name,) was so overpowered with joy—-so topsy-turvied with
his new sensations—-upon the birth of his first son, that, in
| stead of taking the fact to the Registrar, he went, as if he
j had been the author of anew book, und had him ‘Entered at
I Stationers’ llall.’
Man’s life may be only an hour glass to some being of a
! higher order; and they, perhaps, say, when three score years
and ten are up, ‘What, another hour gone! Dear me, how
time flies !’
In Europe, people take off their hats to great men; in
America, great men take off their hats to the people. Uni
versal suffrage, says a French author, renders the children
of men equal to the children of thu gods.
At Gibraltar there was a great scarcity of water. An Irish
officer said, ‘He was very easy about the matter, for he had
nothing to do with water; if lie only got his tea in the morn
ing, and his punch at night, it was all he wanted.’

Ijl T. TAYLOR V Co.* Proprietor* of the Col
-l* umbus Cotton Gin Manufactory, have the satis
faction to announce to their patrons and the Planters, j
generally, of the Cotton growing region, that they are
prepared to supply any number of their celebrated Pre
mium Gins, . I
Where these Gins have been otied used, it would be J
deemed unnecessary lor the Manufacturers to say a word
in their favor, as they fee! confident the machines have
been brought to such perfection, that their euperior per
formance will recommend them, in preference to other
Gins now in use. Fur the satisfaction of those who
have used the Gins, and are acquainted with their rep- I
i utation. the Proprietors need only say, that the First
l Premiums have been awarded to them, f-r the BEST
GIX exhibited at the Great State Fair held at Atlanta,
Ga. ; also, at the Alabama and Georgia Agricultu a!
and Mechanic’s Fair, held at Columbus ; and at the an
nual Fair of the South Carolina Institute, at Charleston.
The Cotton ginned on these Gins received the first l’re- j
mitims at the exhibition held at Charleston, S. C. and at
every Fair where samples of cotton Irani them have
been exhibited.
‘Flie Proprietors have in their possession numerous
I certificates from Planters, Cotton Brokers. Commission
Merchants and Manuiccturers of cotton goods, testifying
that Ihe performance of the Gins, and the samples pro
duced by them, cannot be excelled by any ever manulac- j
tured.
All orders for Gins given either to our traveling or
local Agents, or forwarded to the Proprietors by mail,
will always receive prompt attention. Gins will be sent
to any part of the country, and warranted to give satis
faction.
N. 13. A libera! discount will in all cases be allowed
where the Cass is paid, and the Gin taken at the Manu
factory. Dec. 14. 38 ly

POWER PRESS.
r advantages of this new POWER PRESS aud its superiority
over all others, are as follows:
The power applied is multiplied 440 limes, by the Lever and Eccen
tric pully, that is, one hundred pounds power applied to the I-ever
will exert a force 24,000 pounds on the Cotton. The whole top of
the hale box is open to receive the Cotton, and it may be put as near
the Gin House as is desired. It is three times as powerful as a screw
of 13 inches diameter, that lias a nine inch pitch of thread with the
same length of Lever, and of course the horse has to walk but one
third as far, for the reason that a lever is required but one-third as Ung
J to do the same work. And further, the Press follower descends with
j much greater rapidity at the commencement of the operation, when
1V tiut difSHsls
Tlfis Press can be made very compact, and equally powerful, oYt
using the wheel and axle, and can be so modified as to answer any I
pur|lose where a Press is necessary for manufacturin',’ or domestic j
purposes. For Cotton it requires un,-fo>.rtk less work to bi ild. and 1
three-fourth# less workto raise, than the screws, and if a cast iron Ec- :
centric wheel is used, it will not be much crr half thr work to build I
asascrew. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, llay.&e. it cannot .
be excelled. There is one-third less timber in this Press than in the j
crew, and if is certainly the cheapest ever built.
The whole cost ofthe Irons will not exceed $43, which may be had ■
oft’. 11. Levy, of Macon, who is the only person authosized to furnish .
hem. This sum is exclusive of freight and the cost of riirht to use ;
the Press. If the Eccentric wheel is made of Iron, tli cost will lie ■
10 or sls more for the Iron work, but it will materially lessen the 1
cost of labor on the wood work of the wheel, and will he the cheap- j
est in the end. Any good Mechanic canconstruct the Press from the j
drawings and specifications which will accompany cadi right.
I shall sell a single right at $lO, which suin can be sent by mail at I
my risk, provided the fact of sending is-cerfified to by the Postmaster *
of the place where the letter is mailed. Each right will he acconipa
nied by an engraving and a full description, so that any mechanic will
be aide to build thu Press. Any communications, post-paid, will be
punctually attended to. A. 1). BROWN.

—Certificate. —
This will certify that we witnessed, at the plantation of Mr. Wil
liam Johnson, in this county, the performance of a Cotton Press re
cently invented and patented by Mr. A. D. Brown, of this place, and
can, with confidence,recommend it to the public. Its great power,
convenienceand simplicity of structure, renders it, in our estimation,
eth best that we have seen. It packs downward, which we deem ve
ry essential; can be placed as near the lint room as desired, and can be
easily covered in and made very durable.

CERTIFICATE FROM MR. WILLIAM JOHNSON',
This will certify. That I built and used one of Mr. A. I). Brown’s
Eccentric Progressive Power Presses last year, and am fully satisfied )
that it is the best that I bare seen. 1 found no difficulty in building
fjomthe directions furnished by Mr. Brown, and found it much less
work than to build the Screw.
My brother Abram Johnson used the press for his crop, and was so ;
well pleased with it that lie intends building one at his own place for |
his next crop. WILLIAM JOHNSON.

His note-book contains upwards of three hundred casern, in

instance has it come to his knowledge, of its having failed to
cure when persevered in. Many of the cases were from fotj *** *
years standing; and what may appear yet more remarkable a V'* **' B
ordinary, is, that when the patient has been once relieved, th < Cl!ra
is pcrmanrutly cvrnl. remains so. not a solitary instance bay
reported to him of its return. *** “**o
All he would ask for this remedy is a fair, impartial and
trial, for the results he entertains no apjtrekntriim. Mictit
Up to the time of this discovery, the undersigned had well
i the origin, progress and character of this disease, and is tte li
had consulted every author on its treatment, who bad written*** i****
translated into the English language, and had used all the r mTi °
any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with hotter * **°
rarely any relief to poor suffering humanity. ■ Ver J
It has battled the skill and science of the most eminent Pt
and Surgeons of our own, and of every other country.
