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 j —science enlist the elements of the ; earth and heaven in its service—art, awaking, clothes its strength with | beauty—literature, redoubles and I perpetuates its praise—civilization ! smiles—liberty is glad—humanity re joices—piety exults, for the voice of j iudustry and gladness is heard on every hand; and who,contemplating | such results, will deny that there is I dignity in labor?” \\ 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.” A toothpick factory at Canton, Me., employs more hands than all the oth er manufacturing establishments in the town. It has already consumed 500 cords of poplar wood this season. The machine turns out 5,000 tooth picks a minute. CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA. THURSDAY MORNING, MAY •>, IS?->. POET Rl. CHURCH SCANDAL. That tall fellow’s here to-day, I wonder what’s his name? His eyes are fixed upon our pew— Do look at Sally Dame? Who is that lady dressed in green? It can’t l>e Mrs. Leach ; There’s Mrs. Jones with Deacon Giles! I wonder if he’ll preach ? Lend me your fan, it is so warm, We both will sit to prayers ; Mourning 1 tecomes the widow Ames— How Mary’s bonnet flares. j Do look at Nancy Sloper’s veil !

I’m glad we’ve left the singers’ seats— How hard Miss Johnson snores. What ugly shawls are those in front? Did you observe Ann Wild ? Her new straw bonnet’s trimmed in black, I guess she’s lost a child. I’m half asleep—that Mr. Jones ! His sermons are so long; This afternoon we’ll stay at home And practice that new song. 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 [Ky.) Neics. Captain A. J.

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, E. S. V. B. 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. A Cleveland butcher sells diseased pork, which is the direct cause of the death of two of the people, and great interest is manifested among medi cal and scientific men. Twelve hun dred rum-shops art! dealing out certain death every day and night in the week, killing their hundreds, and no interests is manifested by medical and scientific men. Why not ? Gol den Censer . 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. Cult. 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. a clinches. 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 JViews.

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 For sale by ail Dealers.
