BEK HILL- Yicksburg Herald. This gentleman has been, and is yet, a much abused mar. We have no doubt, though, he deserves all the vituperation he has received. It is charged that he had a big interest with Babcock and McKee in th%whisky frauds, and that alone is enough to gain for him the con demnation of all honest citizens. But that is not all. It is asserted that he has been secretly interested with Boss Shep herd in all the compound cussedness which has been going on in Washington for years. It is thought he concocted the scheme to have the Washington safe blown open, to get at the papers to blast the reputation of an innocent citizen, whose only' crime was an earnest desire to secure reform. There seems to be no question that he induced Belknap to en gage in the lucrative post tradersbip busi ness. lie told Belknap bow the market could be made lively, and instilled into Belknap’s innocent breast the gentle hints to burst all the traders who wouldn’t come down with the dust. One of Gen. Grant’s intimate friends declares on his sacred word and honor that the wicked Ben is to blame for the general looking so confoundedly close after the interests of his relatives. He pursuaded U S that the most admirable principle of human nature is selfishness, and akin to that, is to eter nally take care of one’s kin. He bad the opportunity, its Grant’s most trusted ad viser, to have advised him well; instead of this he advised him ill. He could have made Grant’s administration the praise of every honest man, but ite has made it the head centra for thieves. He corrupted Belknap; be co-operated with Boss Shep herd; he engineered the whole of the cred it mobiiit-r swindle; be deceived Schenck in regard to the Emma mine, and this brought, the bad name of America to worse; be advised tite financial agents of the government of discount the paper the government made, and yet after saying all those tilings of this black hearted vii- iian this whisky thief—this safe burglar— this president corrupter—this one man who has done more to injure America than could the plague, we find ourselves still unable to present him in a proper light to our readers. In view of these facts it is bard to believe that we could find apologists for such a concentrated confederate, yet such is the case. Some few slimy politicians, some truckling journalists, two or three thieving cabinet ministers, and their friends are actually appealing to the citizens of this vast em pire to give Ben a chance.

Bishop lied, and lie knew it, when lie said I left his house with my three little children without any provocation. As I consider, (and think others would if they knew the truth,) I had a great many provocations. All I ask of him is to pay his just debts and not wrong people out of their just dues, and leave me and my children alone, and pay me my government pension that he has used ten years (being poO) and in terest on it for half tlie time he has used it, and my furniture that I took there. I will risk getting my sugar without calling on my friends to help hunt what has been put away for the sick babe. I will further say that I can make as good a living for myself and three little ones as we had' with P. E. Bishop, although he would have people believe that I was a great ex pense to him. I confess he got me two ten-cent calico dresses within three jears. 1 think it wUl keep him busy to gather enough of his neighbors’ bogs to keep himself and bis two children. However, it don’t take much of such pork to do me. I will say that through his scowling, pouting, and complaining, I quit drink ing coffee six years ago; but he continued chewing, smoking, and using his coffee as usual. Then, last fall, he openly for bade my using tea. I suppose tobacco and coffee had raised in price. The whole trouble arose from his wanting my share of my first husband’s estate without giv ing anything to show that he had ever re ceived anything from said estate. He did not get it, nor won’t.

LANIER S CANTATA w York Tribune. 12th ] ment of the Centennial CoinmtasiGtt that the liym for the opening ceremonies of the Exhibition of May 10, has beltt furnished by John G. Whittier, and the text of Mr. Dudley Buck’s can tata by Biffaey Lanier of Georgia, has been received by the press and people of the United States with entire satisfaction. No voice more earnest than that of the Psalmist of Amesbury could by found to breathe the solemn invocation; and Mr. Lanier, also, if le3s widely known as a poeLpptseg’g; tbfl qualities which fit him for tlie more difficult task. Tie is a native of Georgia, who, after fighting in the Southern ranks as a youth, studied law at Macon, but has at last found his true field of activity, and devotes himself wholly to Music and literature. His two remarkable poems, entitled “Corn” and “The Symphony,” published in Lippin- cott’s Magazine, brought him suddenly into prominence. They are characterized by a freshness and affluence of thought, a tropical luxuriance of fancy, and a singu lar grace and variety of rythmical effect, which justify the anticipations of his friends in regard to future achievements. Moreover, he has the additional advant age, exceptionally rare among poets, of pronounced musical talent. For three winters past, he has been a performer in the Peabody Orchestra, at "Baltimore, under Mr. Asger Hamerik. The Cantata is a form of musical com position which was primarily applied to subjects of a meditative, didactic or de votional character. It has thus come to be one of the accepted forms of musical expression for anniversaries, historical commemorations, and other occasions of a large and stately character. The text bears the same relation to the music as that of an oratorio, and must be written with direct reference to the changes, con trasts, and combinations of voices and in struments. It presents a most ungrateful task to tlie poet who is not able to call up an attendant musical inspiration, and per suade his conceptions to acknowledge the double sway. Mr. Lanier’s verses, there fore, must be read with constant reference to the inevitable restrictions of his task. Limited to sixty lines, in which not only the solos and choruses, but also tlie vio lins and bassoons, must have their share - coin pel led to tell his story, not in poetic recital, but through the medium of reflec tion and contrasted emotions governed, finally, in tite vyy sounds of his words by that, of the notes to which they are set. his wolk is amenable to a separate law, ami may fairly assert its right to a separate law, and may fairly assert its right to a separate judgment. The verses represent, as largely as the space allows, the past and present of the country, the powers which opposed them selves to settlement, growth and indepen dence, and the blended elements which gave success, closing with rejoicing, an angelic voice of promise, and a welcome to the world. It is both simple and ongi nal in character. Contrasted with the Cantata. written by Tennyson fur tlie opening of the International Exhibition in London, its greater freedom and freshness are very evident, while in earnestness and absence of self congratulation it will doubtless harmonize with the spirit of Whittier’s hymn. Mr. Dudley Buck’s music lias already been noticed in the Tribune, and there seems to he no impro priety in also giving the complete text of Mr. Lanier’s share in the work, especially as the printed copies are now in the hands of 800 singers. Mr. Lanier entitles his Cantata THE CENTENNIAL MEDIATION OF COLUM BIA. m From this hundred-terraeed higlit Sight more large with nobler light Ranges down yon towering years: Humbler smiles and lordlier tears Shine and tall, shine and fafl, While old voices rise ai*d eton Yonder where the to-and-fro Weltering of my Long-Ago Moves about the moveless base Far below my resting-place.

Of hese seventeen are Republicans, and nine are Democrats Of the seventeen SOME GOOD ANECDOTES. I have, as a fellow-traveler, Gen. Jack Wharton, of Texas, who is the raciest ra conteur that I have met in many a day. He deluged us this morning with a per fect flood of anecdotes, some of which I reproduce; of course minus the subtle flavor of accent and gesture that he told them with. He is an Irishman, and liis stories are all on Irishmen, A Paddy, says he, who had been a con firmed drunkard, came home one night and found his wife in tears. “Och, my husband,” says slie, “and haven’t I the worst of news to tell ye! Jimmy Brian wint to bed dhruuk tlie fill er night,’ with a lighted candle in his hand, and hilt it there in liis sleep till it had burned him up. Och, my dariiut, and ye should take the pledge sure.” The dreadful news seemed to sober him; he look his hat off, walked up to his wife, and putting his arms around her said soberly: “Mary, I shwear to you, by j our own swate seif, by the chfld in the cradle; yis,” said he, while her face grew bright er, “I shwear bj- all that is holy and good, that when ever I go to bed drunk, I will not hold a lighted caudle m my hand.” There was another fellow whose friends tried to cure hirn of drinking by taking him one niglit when he was in a stupor and putting him in a coffin and lying him away in the graveyard. One of his com panions lay beside the coffin to frighten him when lie should awake. At last he raised himself, and looking cautiously around, lie muttered: “I wonder where I atn?” “You are in hell,” came from a gruff voice behind him. “How long have I been here?” “Ten days,” “How long have you been here?” “Twenty years.” “Well, then, you’ve been here long enough to get the run of the place. Can you tell me where lean get a good drink?” —Carr Augusta Const. Democratic clubs are forming all over the State, and an earnest effort will be made to take advantage ofvthe existing dissensions among the carpet baggers to elect a ticket next fall com posed of honest men having the cod6 deuce of the people without distinction of race. In the Kingstree Star we no tice a long review of Chamberlain’s pre tended reform ujeasures in which it is showu that, under pretence of relieving the people of taxation, greater burdens than ever before have been heaped upon them. In u speech delivered in Beaver Dam, Laurens county, recently, Mr. Speights, editor of the Greenville News, described the absurd plan of the coali tionists in very terse language. It is simply to run Chamberlain for Gover nor and some Democrat for Lieutenant Governor, then elect Chamberlain to the United States Senate, and leave the Governor’s chair in the possession of the Democrat elected as Lieutenant Governor—all this witnout the slight est reason to suppose that the Republic can voters would enter into any such arrangement. Yet, says the New York Sun, it is undoubtedly true that there are prominent Democrats in South Car olina who are foolish enou’gh to believe that this preposterous scheme can be carried out, which accounts for the per sistent puffery of Chamberlain by jour nals that should kuow better. THE IN EMPRESS OF BRAZIL NEW YORK. The Brazilian Empress does not in tend to remaiu entirely a rc-ciuse now that her Imperial lord has left her for a season. She rides, receives callers be tween stated hours and visits objects of interest. Tuesday evening she at tended with her suite the opera of "Der Freischutz.” in aid of John’s Guild,, at the Academy of Music. The party occupied the middle tier of pro scenium boxes, which were tastefully draped with flags. Above that of the Empress were two Brazilian flags fes tooned, and on the railing of her box the stars and stripes were drawn up iu graceful folds The box of the Brazil ian Minister was draped with the stars and stripes above and the Brazilian flag below. A crimson silk banner embla zoned with the Brazilian Imperial arms on a green shield, was suspended above the corvette officers, whose box was dec- Harlem, Mo. nearly dry, that are equal hanging it around the neck with apiece of tape, so it would come at the bottom of the sternum, or breast-bone, and se curing it there with another taoe around the body, to keep it in the same wav.

Elsworth. of Barre, Ark., who knows good butte 1 : and makes it, thus writes to a brother butterer . I have tiied scalding milk at different tempera tures for butter, and have settled on 130 degrees as the best mercurial point. Less than 130 degrees will not destroy the germs of putrefaction. Have been told that 150 degrees makes the butter as s r on as the milk is drawn. After scalding, the milk is allowed to stand in lar.e pans without cooling, only as the temperature of the room, which should be about 60 degrees, acts upon it. Deodorizing the mild by pouring in hot water, and cooling it with cold, is objectionable, the former tending to softm and melt the butter globules, and the other to harden them.— Week ly Advance. To Freserye Tomatoes.—The Covington Star says : We saw a large, plump tomato, one day last week, which had just been plucked from the vine, and looked as fresh and swaet as if ta ken from the vine in July or August. The way it was preserved from the frost of winter, was this way : The vine containing the green tomatoes was drawn from the ground and hung up by the roots iu a close room, which pre served it from the cold and allowed the young tomatoes to grow to their full size, and mature and ripen the same as if the vine was still growing in the ground, In this way, our informant tells us, they may be kept all winter, or until the young ones, no larger than a pea, may grow to full size and ripen. If tne weather should become so cold as endanger them by freezing, a blanket or cloth might be thrown over them to keep them warm. This is a very easy and cheap way to have fresh tomatoes through the winter, and we advise our readers to give it a trial next fall. The Persimmon.—A few days ago we received a small box of persimmons from a subscriber, Mr. J. C. Evans, of have the new Senators in Iowa, Kan sas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Wis consin. The last elections in these- States show that the Republicans are pretty certain to retain their eleven Senators. pther six States are Arkansas, Illinois, Louisiana, Misissip- pi. Texas and New Jersey; and there is scarcely a doubt that the Democrats will wrest their six Senators from the Republicans. The nine States in which the terms of Democratic Senators expire in March next are Alabama Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. There is no doubt the Democrats will secure the new Senators in these States. Assuming, then, that we are correct in our calculations, how will the next Senate staud ? If no new State is ad- hiitted to the Union, the Senate will consist of seventy-four members, of which thirty-eight will constitute a ma jority. Giving the Republicans the four so-called Independents, and conce ding to the Democrats the vac.int seat iu Louisiana, the Republicans have in the present Senate, as already stated, forty-four members and the Democrats thirty Now, if the Republicans lose the Senators in the six States we have named and the Democrats gain them, then in the next Senate the Republi cans would Lave thirty-eight and the Democrats thirty-six.

On this oc casion many of the French ofiicers and Newpprters were present. Mr. Ellery was a widower, and his daughter, Miss Betsy Ellery, then a young girl of sixteen or seventeen, who subsequently married Samuel Vernon, an eminent Newport merchant, presided at the tea table in question, and poured out tea to her pa triotic guests. Miss Ellery was at the time suffering from a severe sore throat, and could not speak above a waisper. Gen. Washington observing this embar rassment of his youthful hostess, said to her: “Miss Ellery, you seem to be suffer ing very much: what is the matter?” Miss Ellery told him the cause of her trouble, upon which the General said to her: “I suffer myself, very frequently, from a sore throat, and take a remedy, which I find very useful, aud which I would re commend to you were I not sure that you orated with Brazilian flags above, and the iron cross standard of the German Empire below, in honor of the Arion and Liederkranz Societies, which ren dered “Der Frieschutz.” r ”he lower tier of boxes was also decorated with flags, and programmes printed on green satin were placed on the posceniuin railings The Empress found a beauti ful basket of flowers marked "St. John's Guild” and a large bouquet awaiting her in her box.

Soda a .Tooth ache Remedy.—Dr. Duckworth, of St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, has recently successfully used bicarbo nate of soda as a remedy for severe toothache, when applications of chloro form, either externally to the cheek or to the ear, or placed on cotton in the decayed tooth, failed ; and when carbol ic acid, applied as last mentioned, also proved inoperative. Pledgets of cotton, soaked iu a solution of thirty grainsiff J3< bicarbonate of soda in one fluid otflBI [at of water gave almost instant relief. Dr. Duc^wc^th considers that very fre- •quently the pain is due to the cotaent of acid saliva with the decayed tooth ; and, therefore, it is important, in cases of odontolgie, first to determine whether the saliva has an acid reaction. If this be the case, then a simple alkaline ap plication, as above stated, is the most efficacious means of cure.
