Frog King and Iron Henry,
A STORY FOR I.ITTI.K FORKS.
Translated from the German, by Mis* I* Moon.
In the oW times, when wishing
still helper!, livetl a king, whose
daughters were all beautiful, but the
youngest was so beautiful that the
sun himself, who so often had seen
her, was astonished whenever she
appeared iabis sight. Close beside
the eastlo of the king, lay a large
dark wood, and in the wood under
an old linden was a brook. Iftheday
was right hot, the king’s child went
out into the wood and seated herself
on the edge of the cool brook ; and if
she wanted pastime, she took a gold
en ball, threw it up and caught it
again, and this was tier favorite pas
time.
Now it happened once that the
golden ball of the king’s daughter
did not fall into her hand which she
had held on high, but dashed past
upon the ground and rolled directly
into the water. The king’s daughter
followed it with her eyes, hut the
hall disappeared, and the brook was
so deep that one could not see the
bottom. Then she began to weep,
and she wept louder continually and
she could not be comforted. And as
she lamented, someone exclaimed to
her: “What is the matter, king’s
daughter? Thou eriest so, that a
stone might pity thee.” Bhe looked
around, whence the voice proceeded,
and saw a frog, which stretched its
thick ugly head out of the water.
“Ah ! it is you, old water-splasher,”
said she, “j weep over my golden
ball which has fallen down into the
brook.” “Bequiet,” answered the
frog, “ I can devise means; but what
will you give me to bring up again
your plaything?” “ What thou
wishest to have, dear frog,” said she,
“ my dresses, my pearls and precious
stones, and even the golden crown
which I wear.” The frog answered,
“Thy dresses, thy pearls and precious
stones, and thv golden crown, I wish
them not; but if thou wilt love me,
and I shall be thy companion and
playmate, to sit beside thee at thy j
little ttthie, to eat from thy littlegold
plate, to drink out of thy' little cup,
to sleep in thy little bod ; if thou
prominent me this, J will descend and j
bring up again thy golden ball.”
“Ah ! yes,” said she, “ I promise
thee all, whatever thou wishest, if
thmi only bringest me again the
golden ball.” But she thought,
“How the silly frog chatters, who
sits in the water with his equals and
croaks, and can he companion to no
human being.”
The frog, when he had received
iter promise, dived Ids head under,
sank down, and after awhile, came
up again with the ball in Ids mouth,
and th rew it in the graas. The king’s
daughter was full of joy when she
saw again the beautiful plaything,
raised it up and sprang away with it.
“ Wait, wait,” cried the frog, “take
me with you; leannotrun like you.”
But what did it avail him that he 1
screamed as loud as he could, “ croak !
croak!” she heard it not but hasten
ed to the house and immediately for
got the poor frog which must again
descend into his brook.
On tii<‘ next day, as she had seated
herself at the table with the king
and all the courtiers, and was eating
from her little gold plate, there came
putsch, platsch, putsch, platsch,
something creaking up the marble
steps, and as it arrived up stairs it
knocked at the door and exclaimed,
“ Youngest daughter of the king,
open to me.” She ran and wished to
see who was out there, but as she j
opened the door the frog sat before
it. Then she slammed the door has-!
tily, seated herself again at-the table, j
and was very uneasy. The king saw
indeed that her heart beat strongly
and said, “My child, what fcarest
thou? Stands there a giant before
the door who will carry thee off?”
“ Ah ! no,” answered she, “ it is no
giant, but a dirty frog.”
“ What wishes the frog of thee?”
“ Ah ! dear father, as l yesterday sat
and played in the wood beside the
brook, my golden ball foil into the
water. And because 1 wept so, the
frog brought it up again, and because
he desired it, I promised him lie
should be my companion, but I
thought nevermore that he could
come out of his water. Now he is out
and wishes to come to me in here.”
In tin' meantime, he knocked twice
and cried:
“ King’s youngest daughter,
Open to me,
K newest thou what yesterday
Was promised by thee ?
King’s youngest daughter,
Open to me.”
Then said the king: “ What thou
hast promised, that must then per
form; go now and open to him.”
She went and opened the door, then
the frog hopped in, always near her
feet, up to her chair. Then lie sat and
cried: “ Raise me up to thee.” She
delayed until finally the king com
manded it. The frog sprang from the
chair upon the table and spoke: “Now
shove nearer me your little golden
plate, from which we may eat togeth
er.” She did it, it is true, but one
saw well that she did it unwillingly.
The frog ate and drank with a good
appetite, but as to her, every little bit
stuck fast in her throat. Finally he
spoke: “ Now I have eaten enough
and am weary; take me up into thy
little chamber, and put thy little silk
bed in order ; there will we lie down
to sleep.” Then the king’s daughter
began to weep ; she was afraid of the
cold frog whom she dared not touch,
and who should now sleep in her
beautiful clean bed. But the king
grew angry and said, “ Thou shouldst
not despise him who lias helped thee
in thy need.” Then she picked him
up with her two fingers, carried him
and placed him in a corner. But as
she lay in bed he came hopping and
spoke": “ I am weary, I will sleep as
well as thou; raise me up or I will
tell thy hither.” Then she was very
angry, jerked him up, and threw him
withall her might against the wall.
“ Now wilt thou have rest, thou dirty
frog.”
But when he fell down, he was no
frog, but a king’s son with beautiful
and friendly eyes. He was now, ac
cording to her father’s will, her dear
companion and husband. Then he i
related to her how he had been cursed
by a wicked witch, and no one could
have released him from the brook but
she alone, and tomorrow would they ■
go together into his kingdom. Then
they fell asleep and on the morrow 1
when the sun was up, there came a i
coach with eight white horses, which !
had white bunches of feathers upon
their heads and golden harness, and
behind stood the servant of the young
king, who was the true Henry.' The
true Henry had grieved so when his
lord was changed into a frog that he
had caused three iron bands to be
placed around his heart so that it
might not burst from grief and woe.
But the coach was to take away the
young king into his kingdom; the
true Henry placed both therein, sta
tioned himself behind and was full of
joy over the release. When they had
gone a little way , the king’s son heard
something crack behind him as if it
were broken. Then he turned around
and exclaimed:
“ Henry, the coach is breaking.”
“ No, sir, the noise then making
Was a band from my heart,
Which lay in great smart,
When you sat in the brook
A frog, with hopeless look.”
Yet once and again there was a
cracking on the journey, and the
king’s son thought always the coach
was breaking, yet it was only the
bands which sprang away from the
heart of the true Henry because his
lord was again free and happy.
WEALTH A7D DEBT OF TfIF. IMTKD
STATES.
It appears by the statistics of wealth
taxation and indebtedness in the
United States, made up in the census
office at Washington, of all the States
and teritories in the United States Is
$14,178,986,732, of which >9,914,780,-
825 is real estate, and 5t,204,20.7,907 is
personal property. But it is well
known that property in nearly all
the States is assessed for taxation at
a rate far below its true value. The
true value of the aggregate wealth,
as estimated in the census office, is
more than double the figures above
given, being a total of $80,068,518,570.
In other words, the aggregate wealth
of the United States in 1870 was thirty
thousand million dollars. In 1860, ft
was >10,1.70,010,008, and in IH7O it was
*7,13.7,780,228. These figures show
that it was more than double in the
ten years from 18-70 to 1800, and
nearly double in the ten years from
1300 to 1870.
The total taxation in the States and
territories for 1870 was 8281,180,312,
of which * 18,040,089 was for State,
877,746,11-7 for county and >134,794,108
for city and town purposes. The
same taxation in 1800 was $04,186,786.
It is interesting to note that while
the wealth of the country is less than
double what it was in 1860, the taxas
are more than treble what they were
in 1860—showing that the burdens on
our wealth multiply more rapidly
than the wealth itself. It may be
noted also that the municipal "tax
ation is nearly double that of the
States and counties added together—
showing that it costs nearly twice as
much to govern the cities and towns
of the United States as it does to
govern the States and counties.
The total indebtedness of the States,
counties and cities in 1870 was $868,-
076,758, of this $352,860,698 belong to
the State, $187,565,540 to theeounties,
and >328,244,520 to towns and cities.
The statement of debts does not in
clude the national debt, which, on
the Ist of the present month, was $2,-
! 210,331,529, this added to the aggre
gate debts in the States makes a total
of #3,079,008,287, or ten per cent, of
the true value of the whole wealth of
the country and twenty-one per cent,
of the assessed value.
The taxation here given does not
include that of the Federal Govern
ment. The Federal taxes yielded to
the treasury in 1871, $383,323,944,
which, added to the 5281,180,312, paid
for State, city and county purposes;
! would make $064,404,256 as the
amount of taxes collected from 40,000,-
000 of population, in one year, for
the support of the General, State,
county and municipal Governments.
This is at the rate of $6,50 per capita
for every member of the population;
or estimating live persons to the
family, SSO per family. Nearly one
third of this quota goes to pay interest
on the aggregate debt of over three
thousand million dollars. It is to be
remembered, also, that this statement
of taxation does not include the
amount collected from the people
through protective tariffs for the ben
efit of protracted industries, no part
of which goes into the treasury, llow
much this amounts to, we have no
means of accurately determining; it is
roughly estimated as highly as $300,-
000,000', which would raise the grand
total of takes as annually paid by the
people of the United States, for all
purposes, to $963,404,256.
New York possessoss $6,500,841,264
of wealth, or one-fifth the whole
amount in the United States, and
pays annually $48,550,308 in taxes.
Pennsylvania has wealth estimated at
$3,808,340,112, and >24,631,897 in taxes.
Ohio’s wealth is $1,235,430,300, and
its annual taxation $22,526,548: Mas
sachusetts’ wealth is 2,132,148,741,
and its taxes $24,925,900; Illinois’
wealth is $2,121,680,579, and its taxes
$21,825,008; Missouri’s wealth is sl,-
284,022,897, and its taxation $13,908,-
498,; Indiana’s wealth is $1,268,180,-
543, and its taxation $10,791,121. All
the States show large increase of
wealth indebtedness and taxation,
over 1860, except the Southern States;
in these, there has been an increase
of debts and taxations, but a decrease
of wealth. In Alabama, the decrease
is more than one-half; in Georgia, it
is two-thirds; in Louisiana, it is
nearly one-half; in Virginia, it is
nearly one-lialf; in Mississippi, it is
more than two-thirds.—This dimin
ution of wealth is partly due to the
ravages of war, and the depreciation
of property under the misrule in the
South, and partly the emancipation
of slaves, without any addition of
wealth to replace them.— St. Louis
Republican.
PROPOSED CHANGE IN THE MODE OF
COUNTING THE ELECTORAL VOTE.
A bill was introduced in the House
of Representatives on Monday by T
Mr. Willard, of Vermont, proposing
a radical change of existing rules for
►counting the electoral vote. The
course pursued in the joint session on
the Georgia vote of the last Presiden
tial election has given rise to consid
erable conjecture as to the possible !
conduct of the two Houses when as- j
sembled to count the votes and de
clare the result of the election to be i
held next November; and in view!
of the majority report of the commit- j
tee which investigated the troubles
in the Southern States it is not im
probable that the scheming and reck
less portion of the Radiealparty may
attempt to throw out some of the
vote of that section, especially if the
result could be effected by such ac
tion. As the rule now stands an ob
jection in joint session to the counting
of the vote of any State is sufficient
to secure the rejection of the entire
electoral vote of the State, the rule
declaring that where objection is
made the vote shall not be counted
“except by the concurrent vote of
the two Houses.” The resolution
proposed by Mr. Willard reverses
this, and provides that unless both
Houses, by a separate vote, expressly
declare that the vote “shall not be
counted,” the objection is not to be
considered, and the vote is to be
taken. Another important change
proposed is that when questions of
order arise in the joint convention
they shall be decided without the
usual prolific debate certain to occur
in such eases. The bill was referred
to the Committee on Judiciary.
Should it become a law the unscrupu
lous and designing men of the Radi
cal side will be bereft of a most for
midable power and the means to de-!
feat the people taken from their
hands, the only chance left to over
ride the ballot remaining in the neg
ative vote of both Houses.— Savannah
News.
LABOR.
“ Labor,” savs the Rev. Newman
Hall, “ as a mighty magician, walks
forth into a region uninhabited and
waste; he looks earnestly on the
scene so quiet in its desolation ; then
waving his wonder-working wand,
those dreary valleys smile with gold
en harvest—those barren mountain
slopes are clothed with foliage—the
furnace blazes—the anvil rings—the
busy wheels whirl round —the town
i appears—the mart of commerce, the
hall of science, the temple of religion,
| V( " tXr high their lofty’ fronts—a forest
of masts, gay with varied pennos ris
es from the harbor—the quays are
crowded wi t h commercial spoils
i which enrich both him who receives
and him who yield—representatives
of far-off regions make it their resort

; earth and heaven in its service—art,

\\ AIKCDOTE OF CIA. SOBER! TOOtIBS.
Toombs, of Georgia, is one of the
most gifted of all the erratic geniuses
that America has yet produced. Like
Tom Marshall and William Haskill,
he is a natural born orator. Mr. Clay
heard him make one of his first polit
ical speeches at a mass meeting in
Georgia in 1840, and predicted for him
then a brilliant future. It is related
of Toombs that, on one occasion, in
the trial of a very important ease be
fore a Georgia jury, he, by some
strange absentee of mind, got up and
made a powerful speech against his
client, who was the plaintiff in the
case. After he had sjtoken nearly an
hour, ami was about to close, one of
bis associate counsel whispered in his
ear that he had made a mistake—that
he had spoken on the wrong side.
For a moment only Toombs was per
fectly dumbfounded, and recover
ing immediately, he turned to the
court and jury and said: “ Now, may
it please the court, and you, gentle
men of the jury, I have, in my re
marks hitherto, attempted to give
you all, and the very best, too, that
can l>e said on that side of the case,
and though it may appear at first
blush a very strong case, yet I am
confident, if you will give me your at
tention a little while longer, 1 will be
able to convince you that, after all,
my client, the plaintiff, is entitled to
a verdict at your hands.” He then
proceeded to overturn every position
previously taken by him, exerting
himself to the uttermost of his wound
ed ability to repair his mistake, and
wound up with an appeal to the court
and jury so thrilling, that he carried
them by storm and triumphantly
gained the cast 1 for his client.
THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED.
Edward Everrett became over
heated in testifying in a court-room,
went to Faneuil Hall, which was
cold, sat in a draught of air until his
turn came to speak. “ But my hands
and feet were ice, my lungs on fire.
In this condition I had to spend three
hours in the court-room.” He died
in less than a week from thus check
ing the perspiration. It was enough
to kill any man.
Professor Mitchell, while in a state
of perspiration in yellow fever, the
certain sign of recovery, left his bed,
went into another room, became
chilled in a moment, and died the
same night.
If while perspiring or wanner than
usual from exercise, or in a heated
room, there is a sudden exposure to
chill air or raw, damp atmosphere, or
a draught, whether at a window or
door, or street corner, the inevitable
result is a violent and instantaneous
closing of the pores of tiie skin, by
which the waste and impure matter,
which was making its way out of the
system, is compelled to seek an exit
through some weaker part. To il
lustrate: A lady was about getting
into a small boat to cross the Dele
ware, but wishing first to get an or
ange, she ran to the bank of the riv
er, and on returning to the boat,
found herself much heated, for it was
summer, but was a little wind on
•the water and her clothes soon felt
cold, which produced cold which set
tled on her lungs, and within a year
died of consumption.
A Boston ship owner, while on the
deck of one of his vessels, thought he
would lend a hand in some emergen
cy, and pulling off his coat, worked
with a will until he perspired freely,
when he sat down to rest for awhile,
enjoying the delicious breeze from
the sea. On attempting to rise he
found himself unable, and was so
stiff in his joints that lie had to be
carried home and put in bed, which
he did not leave for two months,
when he was barely able to hobble
down to the wharf on crutches.
MRltiiudco of women Iwc liooliili j
every year, in one 6r more ways, by
busying themselves in a warm kitch
en until weary, and then throwing
themselves on a bed or sofa, without
covering, and perhaps changing the
dress for a common one, as soon as
they enter the house after shopping.
The rule should be invariably to go
at once into a warm room, and keep
on all the clothing for at least ten
minutes, until the forehead is per
fectly dry. In all weathers, if you
have to walk or ride on any occasion,
do the riding first.— Dr. Hall.
VIOLATING THE SABBATH.
A rigid Sabbatarian, who occasion
ally exhorts in church, and fills the
office of justice of the peace in a Wes
tern village, not long since went on a
deer hunt with a party composed of
five or six young hunters. By some
unaccountable mistake he lost his
reckoning, and much to his mortifica
tion, he found, on reference to his pa
pers on the third day of the hunt, that
it was Sunday, when he had supposed
it was Saturday. He opened the
morning with prayer, and told his
companions that, as a Christian and a
magistrate, he eoukl not hunt that
day; and accordingly drew forth his
pocket bible, and commenced reading.
His worldly-minded companions
thought, with the Baltimore bank
man “ that there were no Sabbaths in
revolutionary times,” and took the
hounds and started in pursuit of game.
It was not long before the whole pack
were in full cry, and the worthy mag
istrate, on looking from the sacred
volume, discovered a fine buck mak
ing for the camp. Without a min
ute’s deliberation, he seized a loaded
rifle and plugged the deer between
the antlers.
“Gentlemen,” said he, when his
friends came to the spot, “it is con
trary to the laws of Moses and the re
vised statutes of Pennsylvania to trav
el on Sunday, and for" that reason I
shot that fellow. Still, I have violat
ed the Sabbath as a Christian, while
1 have maintained the dignity of the
law as a magistrate, and acting in the
latter capacity.”
“ If we should scare up another?”
“ I’d shoot the rascal for traveling
on Sunday.”
THE SILVER LINING.
Rain is not always comfortable
while it is falling; but when it ceases
and the clouds clear away from the
sky, everything thrills and dances
with delight. The dew is chilling
to earthly pursuits, and while it is
falling, darkness is upon the world;
but when the bright beams of day
light come, and the rising sun flashes
on the hills, and its golden rays illu
minate the valleys, it would seem as
if an angel had oversown the fields
with diamonds, and hung a brilliant
one on every blade and leaf. The very
air is redolent of heavenly fragrance;
and the whole earth is breathless
amid the songs and glories of a
celestial baptism. And so there may
be discomfort and darkness, clouds
and gloom, while the word of the
Lord is finding its way into our souls;
but those clouds will soon clear away,
and that night be over. And when
the sunlight comes, and the day
renews itself, and heavenly morning
dawns there shall come visions of
beauty and experiences of good,
beyond all present imaginings, and
over which the universe will thrill
with rejoicings at what the Word of
the Lord, honestly received into the
soul, has wrought.— Rr. Seiss.
A boy of five, who had heard a
great deal of fun made about the
diminutive size of the State of Rhode
Island, one day remarked, “I guess a
feller that wanted to stay in that
State, would have to take care and
not fall out of bed.”

TUE LOCAL PAPER.
All intelligent persons admit the
importance of a good local paper.
Such a journal is worth fifty to a hun
dred dollars to every commercial man
in the town in which it is published,
even if he never puts an advertise
ment in it. If he is a judicious ad
vertiser, it is worth still more to him.
It is the local paper that does more
than any one interest in building up
a town. If a good one, every citizen
is indebted to it. But the local pa
per must be supported either at home
or from abroad by advertising pat
ronage. The subscriptions are insig
nificant in the support of a paper,
only to make it a good advertising
medium.
If the local merchants do not sup
port it, it must draw its support from
abroad. The more of its patronage it
is forced to get abroad from enter
prising advertisers, the more business
is drawn from the community in
which it is published. The best
thing, they can do is to sustain
their local paper, and not to force it
to seek advertising patronage from
foreign merchants who seek trade at
the expense of the local merchants.
Merchants and business men ought
to be sagacious enough to see these
points, and act accordingly. Sustain
the local paper liberally, but judi
ciously, and not force it to seek pat
ronage from more enterprising men
abroad. The more foreign advertise
ments appear in the local paper, the
more the trade of such towns will be
attracted to enterprising business
houses abroad.
Business men too often fail to see
their own interests in their disposi
tion to be a “ penny wise and a pound
foolish.” —La Grange Reporter.
A STRING OF PEARLS.
“ When God’s flail of adversity is
upon us, we should not be like the
chaff which flies into the face of the
thresher, but like the precious grain
which lies at his feet.”
“ All the little paths and aisles
toward the light of the Great Love
open into each other
“ The cross of love is close beside
the cross of sin. Jesus hung between
the malefactors.”
“ When the angels took up the
plants of Eden, and carried thorn
away to transplant above, one little
flower dropped upon the earth, and
took root wherever there were pure
and gentle hands to rear and keep it
—a wee, white flower of wondrous
sweetness; and men call it Love.”
“ When our eyes are blinded with
tears, we cannot tell how near God is
to us; the very darkness in which we
mourn may be but the shadow of his
wings.”
ERRORS OF THE PRESS.
Ever since the art of printing was !
invented, we presume—certainly ever
since we have known any thing about
it—complaints of the errors of the
press have come thick and fast, from
all quarters; and, while many of
these blunders are .very silly—some
of them ludicrous—and all of them!
provoking—truth requires us to state
that the errors of the pen are gener
ally ten times more numerous. Many !
persons who are loudest in their
complaints in the slightest typograph
ical error occurs in an article of their
composition, would be ashamed to
show their heads in public if their
copy 7 were strictly followed by the
printer. In case of most writers, he
has many corrections to make —in-
deed, very 7 few persons write correct
ly 7 . We state these facts from our
own personal experience, and “ know
whereof we affirm.”
An Interview with the Devil.
—The negro Handy 7 Hammonds, who
was shot In a fracus last Christmas
near new Liberty, died to all appear
ances March 24. Strange things hap
pened to this negro which are worth
repeating, for he has brought news
from a quarter where no telegraph
nor railroad has, as yet, any reporter.
He was shot in the neck, and his
entire lower hotly has been ever since
completely paraiized, whilst he was
all the time sensible. Some days ago
he died, as all his friends supposed,
and he was laid out to bury, but came
to life in time to escape the grave. He
said, after coming to, that he had been
to see the devil, was in hell, and saw
many 7 of his acquaintances; the devil
told him he had no room for him
then, but would be ready for him in
a few days. He reports the devil a
black, savage looking monster, armed
with fiery 7 lashes which he lays on
his unruly subjects. His dominions
are all interspersed with lakes of fire
and places of rest; the worst are
punished the most, but all punished
according to their crimes. —Oicen

mated the trade for a site for the
depot building at Carrollton by pur
chasing the Kingsbery lot near the
Baptist Church. Mr. Jesse Blalock,
of Carrollton, was married a few day T s
since to Miss Mary* Benson, of the
same place. Carrollton boasts a dual
egg, put up on the Siamese twin
style. These eggs are about the size
of partridge eggs and are joined by
their small ends, where there is a
slight depression, the whole being
about two and a half inches long.
We were shown, by* Mr. John
Brown, livining near Carrollton, a
few day r s since, clover sixteen inches
high. —Carroll County Times.

Messrs. Editors: —Prompted by
> the fond hope of doing some good, *1
again with delicacy come before the
public. Also the "favorable impres
sion my first communication seemed
to make on a portion of my fellow
citizens, animate me to the work
again. Being destitute of any capi
tal in the way of money I can only do
my portion in talking. Andl tru
ly hope I will teach nothing wrong.
I am strictly an adv‘>cate of home en
terprise, and am often made to recoil
in my feeling, when I look on the un
developed resources of our beloved
country.
I will first charge home some of the
faults and reasons to the farmers.
Now, I don’t want to get into your
“ Local” and “ Nemo” guano contro
versy.) Our farmers will all strain
their purse and credit to buy guano.
And bv so doing, drain the count ry of
its vitality, that is in money matters,
and keeps the country in a "continual
press for money, and this stagnates
business in every department of trade.
The question is then, how can this
matter be remedied? Well listen
now and I will tell you:
In miles of Cartersville is a
mountain of lime that is inexhausta
ble, and our esteemed friends and fel
low townsmen, M. V. Hollinshed A-
C'o., are now putting forth their inde
fatigable energies to develop and
bring into use this valuable material.
And in so doing they find profitable I
employment for several laborers and
horses. And in conversation with
Mr. M. V. Hollinshed, oneof the firm,
and Thos. W. Mcßride, the courteous
foreman, I was informed that they
are now turning out about 3,000 bush
els of lime per month and if they had
patronage enough they could increase
it to almost any amount. Now I will
come to the point. Let the farmer
who sends off his money to those fer
tilizing companies, take it and pay it i
out to his poor neighbors to haul
leaves and other vegetable matter to j
his barn yard and lots and cow stalls,
and then go to the lime kiln and get
lime and make a composition and
then he will have a good manure that
will last more than one year, and not
ruin the /and. I am constrained to
believe that most guanoes are like
some patent medicines, which leave
the system in a worse condition than
they "found it.
By pursuing this course, the money
would be kept at home and circulated
among us, and then our esteemed ;
lime men, who propose to furnish I
lime to our farmers at 25 cents per 1
bushel, will extend their works and i
employ more laborers, and fetch more
trade and save more money. I will j
here state that they showed me a '
very fine specimen of alabaster lime j
which is very white and beautiful,
which every citizen of Bartow ought
to be proud of. Let our farmers turn
their attention to these facts, and I I
trust we will have a better time, j
We live in the garden spot of the j
State, and why not live at home,
read our own papers, build our own
factories, and make our own manure,
and manufacture our own iron, (which
abounds in our mountains,) with our
own hands and money.
I would like to say more, but for \
fear that lam tedious, I will defer
any further remarks at present.
Hoping that what I say may be
beneficial, I am, yours, as ever,

SOMETHING FOR YOUNG FARMERS.
I. All lands on which clover or
grasses are grown, must either have
lime in them naturally, o*r that mine
ral must be artificially supplied. It
matters but little whether it be sup
plied in the form of stone lime, oyster
lime, or marl. . ,
ii. .yu f ,i,ub..w»( vcmentsof
lands must look to lime as their ba
sis.
3. Lands which have been long in
culture will be benefitted by the ap
plication of phosphate of lime, and it
is unimportant whether the deficien
cy be supplied in the form of bone
dust, guano, native phosphate, oyster
shell lime or marl—if the lands need
lime alone.
4. No lands can be preserved in a
high state of fertility, unless Clevel
and grasses are cultivated in the course
of rotation.
5. Mould is indispensable in every
soil, and a healthy supply can alone
be preserved through the cultivation
of clover and grasses by the turning
in of green crops, or by the applica
tion of composts rich in the elements
of mould,
6. All highly concentrated animal
manures are increased in value, and
their benefits prolonged, by a mixture
with plaster, salt, or with pulverized
charcoal.
7. Deep plowing greatly improves
the productive powers of every varie
ty of soil that is not wet. >
8. Subsoiling sound land, that is,
not wet, is also eminently conductive
to increase production.
9. All wet lands should be drained.
10. All grain crops should be har
vested before the grain is thoroughly
ripe.
11. Clover, as well as the grasses in
tended for nay, should be mowed
when in bloom.
12. Sandy lands can be most effectu
ally improved by clay. When such
lands require liming or marling, the
lime or marl is most beneficially sup
plied when made into compost with
clay. In slacking lime salt is better
than water.
13. The chopping or grinding of
grain to be fed to stock operates as a
saving of at least twenty-five per
cent.
14. Draining of wet lands and
marshes adds to their value, by mak
ing them to produce more, and by
improving the health of neighbor
hoods.
15. To manure, or lime wet lands,
is to throw manure, lime and labor
away.
16. Shallow plowing operates to im
poverish the soil, while it decreases
production.
■COTTON SEED MEAL FOR COWS.
Horace Colburn, of Winslow, Me.,
in November, 1868, purchased five
hundred pounds of cotton seed meal
and the same weight of fine feed, and
commenced feeding two quarts of
each material per cow, in addition to
hay. In one week the cows thus fed
doubled their yield of milk, the pro
duct being also im pro vtsl in quality,
while the animals made a decided
gain in appearance. In Mr. Colburn’s
opinion the increased yield of milk
paid for the meal and fine feed, with
out reckoning the increased value of
the manure. The. cotton seed meal
cost, in Portland, tw;o and a half cents
per pound, the fine feed three cents
per pound. —Agricultural Reports.
A DOMESTIC HINT.
Carpet shaking (says an exchange)
is at hand. Here is a bit of advice
which it will be well for housekeep
ers to heed. When a carpet is taken
up to be cleaned, the floor beneath is
generally covered with dust. This
dust is very fine and dry, and poison
ous to the"lungs. Before removing
it, sprinkle the floor with diluted
carbolic acid, to kill any poisonous
germs that may be present, and to
thoroughly disinfect the floor and
make it sweet.

CORN FODDER PER ACRE
j Someone having asked in the
Maine Farmer, “ Can any one tell, by
his own experience, how much corn
fodder can be raised per acre.” Mr.
H. S. Trevett, of Trenton, says that
hecarefuliy weighed the growth on a
patch 56x26 feet, and found it 1432
: fba», equal to 34 4-5 tons per acre.
1 The com was planted in drills two
feet apart, fifteen kernels to the foot.
| Time from planting to cutting 26
i days.
Isaac Burnham, of Bluehill, weigh
ed the corn on one square rod, and
found it equal to 22 tons and 192 lbs.,
per acre. Planted on gravelly loam
in drills 18 inches apart.
Mr. Z. A. Gilbert, by a like process,
found the yield to equal 34 tons and
1229 lbs., "per acre. He planted half
an acre. The land was a good soil,
moist but deep, was worked deep,
and thoroughly pulverized. Eight
common ox cart loads of manure wa
distribated in drills.
Mr. Gilbert says, the quantity cut
and weighed was carefully bound,
well driisl out of doors, and then
stood up against the west gable win
dow of a large barn, and there re
mained till January. It then a] qFear
ed to be well dried, was bright and
fragrant. It was then weighed and
the amount of dry fodder to the acre,
was found to be 12 tons, 1280 tbs. The
shrinkage was something over 60 per
cent. I should have remarked that
the corn was not cut and weighed in
its most succulent or greenest state,
but was allowed to stand till it had
arrived at a greater state of maturi
ty, the spindles having made their
appearance in the greater part of the
stalks.
A considerable quantity of the crop
was cubed and housed for winter use.
The cattle ate it with a relish. Corn i
fodder cut green and well cured,
bright and sweet, is considered by
feeders to be worth nearly or quite as
much per ton as the average of hay.
Hist winter hay was worth at the
barn twenty dollars per ton. Allow-!
ing my corn fodder to have been
worth twelve dollars, and the value
would have been over a hundred and
fifty dollars to the acre. I have no j
doubt the half acre of corn saved me
more than seventy-five dollars worth
of hay. My faith in the value of the j
crop is so strong, that I have another
half acre this year of nearly as good
frowth as that oflast year, from which
am now feeding.
CURING.
I cut it with common corn cutter,
throwing it in bunches the right size
for a bundle, and when well wilted ;
bind it up. I then stand the bundles
by the side of the fence, or anywhere i
so that the air will draw through
them. In good weather they will cl ry
very fast. On the appearance of rain
put in barn, and stand the bundles in
an upright position around on the
hay loft, against the walls, against !
the gables, against the roof, the beams
or against poles laid from beam to j
beam; around the floors, the empty
stalls; into the sheds and out-build
ings—anywhere that a bundle will
stand in an upright position. No :
matter if only wilted when taken in,
it will dry if kept upright. It is al
most impossible to dry sufficiently to j
stow away or even to lay down, if on
ly to the depth of one bundle. —North
Eastern Farmer.
We publish the above for the pur
pose of directing attention now, when
plans are being matured for the year,
to drilled corn as a fodder crop. Let
every one arrange to try it—the in
credulous on a small scale; but we
are satisfied no better use could be
made of an acre or two of bottom
land than to make it thoroughly rich,
and plant it in drill corn—Eds. So.

Pie (Trust.—Three quarters of a cup
of lard well pressed down to every
tea-cup of flour; a little salt, and only
water sufficient to hold the ingredients
together. This makes enough crust
for one medium sized pie. Mix quick
ly and carelessly, not kneading at all. ;
This rule never fails to make a good,
crisp pie crust.
Omelette Souffle.— One cup
flour, one pint of milk, one spoonful
of sugar, butter size of a walnut.
Scald milk, flour and butter together.
After the batter is cold stir in the
yolks of live eggs. Stir in the froth
of the whites just before baking.
Bake in a quick oven. Eat with
sauce.
White Pound Cake.—The whites
of ten eggs, one cup of butter, one of
cream, three and a half of flour.
Flavor with vanilla, burnt almond,
or lemon. Fse one spoonful of soda
and two of cream tartar. Bake with
care.
Hot Bread.— One of the most in
jurious dietetic habits of Americans
is that of eating fresh hot bread, cake
and biscuit. The Prussian Govern
ment compels bakers to keep their
bread at least one day before selling.
If Americans would follow their ex
ample, there would be fewer dyspep
tics than at present. There is not
one dyspeptic German where there
are a* dozen dyspeptic Americans.
This, however, is but one of the many
causes for this marked difference.
The only fresh, hot bread that is
wholy unobjectionable, is the unleav
ened bread, crackers or gems.

It is well known that Gen. Ander
son, the present Marshal of Atlanta,
has a regular drill of his police force
about twice a week. This, the police
very much detest, especially since
the warm days have set in. A few
days ago old “ Tige” was marching
his squad around with the old famil
iar “ left,” “ left,” flowing from his
lips, when all at once, one of his
men abruptly stopped, much to the
General’s surprise, and turning to
the military chieftain, scratching his
head as if an idea of great importance
had struck him, said :
“ General, may I ask you a ques
tion?”
The General, thinking that the po
liceman had suddenly thought of a
den of thieves that could be captured,
answered “ Yes.”
“ Well, General,” said the police
man, “ please tell me what amount
of strategy and military skill it takes
for a policeman to slip up on a drunk
man ?”
The General gave the order —
“Break ranks, march!” —Griffin

McCUTCH EON’S
CHEROKEE INDIAN BITTERS.
This highly valuable Indian Remedy ia
too well known, whenever ii ha* beau used,
to require special notice.
j
I host* who are unacquainted with its wen
tierful operation upon the system will find
it a certain remedy in all Diseases of the
Kidneys. Bladder and Urinary Organs. It
is very useful ia Rheumatism, Liver Com
plaint, Ague-Cake Dysentery and other
complaints. It warms the stomach and j
bowels; cures Colic an 1 Obstructions of the
Breast: sustains excessive labor of both bo
dy and mind : cures the I’iles, promotes the
Appetite, assists Digestion; prevents un- ,
pleasant dreams and frights; strengthens the j
judgment; cures Nervous, Asthmeiical and
Hysterical Affections; removes all the dis
orders of weakness and debility ; purifies the
Blood; cures Neuralgia and Dispepsia to
gether with most Diseases peculiar to Fe- !
males.
Old and young, male and female, have Been
greatly benefitted by its use, as hundreds o.
letters from all parts of the United States
will certify. Let those who are unac
quainted with McCctchkos’s “Cherokee In
dian Bitters,” before saying this is too
much, try a bottle, and all who do so will
unite in testifying that the half ha* not been
told.
Cherokee Indian Bitters possesses an ener- j
gy which seems to communicate new life to j
the system, and renovate the feeble, fainting
powers of nature. Its operation upon the
tissues of the body does not consist in affect- |
ing the irritability of the living fibre, but in :
imparting a sound and healthy stimulus to j
the Vital Organs.
It strengthens substantially and durably
the living powers of the animal machine; is
entirely innocent and harmless; may be ad
ministered with impunity to both sexes, and
all conditions of life.
There is no disease of any name or na
ture, whether of young or old, male or fe
male, but that it is proper to admiu : ster it,
and if it be done seasonably and piersever
ingly it will have a good effect. It is per
fectly incredible to those unacquainted with
the Bitters, tne i acuity whu vtmeu a weal
thy action is often in the worst caso restor
ed to the exhausted organs of the system ;
with a degree of animation and desire for
food, which is perfectly astonishing to all
who perceive it. This Medicine purifies the
blood, restores the tonic power of the fibres,
and of the stomach and digestive organs;
rouses the animal spirits, and substantially
fortifies and reanimates the broken down
constitutions of mankind.
Indians are the most healthy of the humap
race. They take an abundace of physical
exercise, breathe pure air, and hve on sim
ple diet. When sick, they use no mineral
poisons, but select roots, herbs, and plants
“from the great drug store of their Cr<Ni
tor.” McCutciieok’s “ Cherokee Indian
Bitters” is a combination of these vege’a
ble substances which render it entirely in
nocent to the constitution of the most de’i
cato male or female. The wonderful power
which these “Bitters” are known to pos
sess in curing diseases, evinces to the world
that it is without a parallel in the history
of medicine, and afford additional evidence
that the great benefactors of ihe country art*
not always found in the temples of wealth
nor the mazy walks of science, bun among
the hardy sons of Nature,; whose original,
untutored minds, unshackled by the forme
of science, are less free to pursue the dic
tates of reason, trutli and common sense.
Since the introduction of this remedy in
o the United States, thousands hava been
raised from beds of affliction whose lives
were despaired of by their physicians and
pronounced beyond the reach of medicine
McCutclieon’s “ Cherokee Bitters ” has
driven the most popular medicines of every
name, like chaff before tiie whirlwind, from
every city, town and village where it has
been introduced, and is destined ere long to
convince the world that the red man’s rem
edies are the white man’s choice. For dis
eases peculiar to the female sex there is
nothing better. Old and young, male and
female, have all been greatly benefitted by
its use. Hundreds of certificates, from all
parts of the United States, which are enti
tled to the fullest confidence, speak of it in
the most favorable manner. These are no
only from persons who have been cured by
it, but also from some of the most eminent
physicians and druggist who have success
fully tested it in their practice, and volun
tarily offer their testimonials in its favor
