Recipe for Making Biscuit.-— One quart i
of milk, four even tea-spoonfulls of cream ot tar-,
tar, two even tea-spoonfulls of carbonate o!:
soda, —the soda to be dissolved in the milk, and
the cream of tartar to be throughly mixed dry
w ith the dour, and a little salt. Mix it as soft |
as it can be baked. In this way you have bus- \
cuit mixed and ready for the table in half ati j
hour.
Excellent Homminy Bread, —Break two j
eggs into a bowl and beat them from live to ten
minutes. Add, by continually stirring, a salt- j
spoon of tabic salt, four or five table spoonfuls
of hot homminy reduced nearly to the consis- j
tency of illicit gruel with hot niiik, one large
spoonful of butter, and a pint of scalded Indian j
meal squeezed dry'. Make up the mixture in- ‘<

To Decoy and Destroy Ants in Dwel

ded from the dining room.) You will soon find
your tormentors congregate thousands strong ;
for I assure yon they are fiist-rato bone polish
ers. Forty years ago, when a boy, whenever I
wanted a particular bone of a duck or goose
polished, 1 always found the ant-hill the best
manufactory. Have in readiness a strong solu
tion of boiling salt and water, and when you
perceive your enemies begin to retreat, cover
them with it. Salt and water cold will des
troy them poured into their haunts ; but the
better way is to destroy them out of their strong
holds. It will be good policy to wash out the
basin or bowl, and till it with fresh mould pre
vious to a second decoy, as il will be perceived

JirtlEH o> Corn.—The Massachusetts Plough- f
Man says : A correspondent asks the Editor of
the Genossee Farmer, which is the best method j
of applying ashes on Corn ? Should it be put
in the hill when planted—on top of it after plan
ting ?—or after it comes up ? And what is the
quantity to ho applied, either way of unlcachcd
or leached ?
To which he replies:—The above are ques
tion of considerable importance. Last season
W’e injured a crop of corn, or rather saw it in
jured, by the application of ashes and salt in
contract with young tender plants. These
were thrown with the hand on each hill. Had
the application been made ns soon as tho corn
was covered at planting, spreading the ashes
and salt over considerable surface, no injury
would have been done, while the fertilizers
would have been extremely beneficial.

OCF Avery pleasant incident occurred in one
of our public schools a day or two since. It
1 seems llmt tho hoys attending tho school, of the

bat and bill, broke one of tho neighbor’s win
dows, hut no clue of tho offender could he ob
tained as Vo would not confess nor would any
of his asscViatcs oxpose him.
The case troubled tho teacher and on the oc
casion of one (lour citizens visiting tho school
sho privately aid briefly stated the circumstance
and wished hiunin some remarks to the school
to advert to tho juineiple involved in the case.
The address tk the school had reference prin

and their sportL ‘Flic principles of rectitude
and kindness wlifch should gox’ern them every

school a littlo biy arose in his scat and said.
‘Miss D. 1 1 butted the ball that broke Mr.

but I batted it aid it struck the window’ lam

There was a death-liko silence in the school

Caught a Tartar. —Between Camargo and j
Mier, a short time ago, three Mexicans were
waylaying the road to rob a Mexican merchant
of Matamoros, who they knew was coming down
with a large amount of money in his possession.
The merchant had three men with him, and it
chanced before he reached the spot where the
robbers had posted themselves, that three Texan
Rangers, who had been out on a scout, struck
into the road a short distance ahead of him, pur
suing their way down to Camargo. It was after :
dark, and the robbers mistook the Rangers for i
the Merchant’s party. They ordered thorn to i
halt and deliver, and the Rangers did halt and
deliver; but they delivered bullets instead of!
money, and 101 l not a robber able to earn’ off his I

Ludicrous Circumstances in Church.—
Speaking ol first impressions at church, brings
to my mind a ludicrous circumstance that hap
pened some lilty or sixty years ago, at
Church. Ihe rector, though a man of profound
learning and a great theologian, wu of euch
eccentric ha Hits, as often to create a doubt a
roong the vulgar whether he was at times com■
pos mentis. Having remarked for several suc
cessive Sundays, a gentleman, who was no pa
rishioner, invariably using a seat in a pew next
to that in a which a young widow lady sat, lie
| constantly eyed them and at one time detected
the young gentleman slyly drawing the lady’s
glove from off the back of the pew where she
was accustomed to place it, (her hand and arm
being delicately fair) and putting in it a small
neatly folded note. By and by tho lady’s pray,
er book fell—accidentally, of course—from the
ledge of her pew into the gentleman’s ; he pick
ed it up, found a leaf turned down, and lie hast
-1 iiy scanned a passage, which evidently caused a
! smile of complacency!
Our minister saw all t reir proceedings, and
continued to watch them for tw > successive
: Sundays. Oil the third, as soon as the collec
tions were made, our eccentric pastor, in a
j strong distinct voice, said : “1 publish the bans
j of marriage between M. and N. (deliberately
■ pronouncing the name of the parties) if any of
you know just cause,” Are. The eyes of the
j congregation wero set on them, the lady suffus
ed with blushes, and the gentleman crimsoned
‘ with anger—she fanning herself with volie.
mcnce, and ho opening and shutting the pew
j d°°f with rage and violence, the minister mean
while proceeding through his duties with the
I satno decorum as if innocent of the agitation he
I had excited.
i The sermon preached, and the services ended,
j away to the vestry rushed the parties at the
heels ot the pastor. “Who authorized you, sir,
lo make such a publication of the bans ?” de
rnanded both in a breath.
• Authorized me V said he with a stare, which
heightened the confusion.
‘ Yes sir, authorized you ?’
• Oh!’ said the minister with a sly glance al
ternately at each, ‘ if you don’t approve of it, I’ll*
forbid the bans next Sunday.’
4 Sir,’ said the lady, ‘ you have been too offi
cious already ; nobody requested you to do any
thing ; you had better mind your own business !’
4 Why, my pretty dear,’ said he, patting her
! on the cheek, 4 what I have done lias been all in
i the way of business, and if you do not like to
! wait lor three publications, I advise you sir—
! turning to the gentleman— to procure tho ]i.
| cense, the ring and tho fee, and then the whole
j matter may he settled rs soon as to-morrow.’
! * W ell, replied the gentleman, addressing the
| widow, ‘with your permission, I will get them,
! a,K * we may he married in a day or tw'o.’
* Oh, you may both do as you please,’ pettish
ly replied the lady.
j It was but a day or two after, the widow
j lor ’l' 6 list time threw her gloves over the back
ol the pew, the license was procured, and the
j puikson received his fee, the bridegroom his
bridp, and it was afterwards said that the par
tfs were satisfied with their gains.

New Map of Georgia,
THE undersigned has been, for months, past, en
gaged, under the direction of his Excellency, Gov.
Crawford, in compiling a Map of the State of Georgia,
on a scale of six miles to the inch. The undertaking
is now nearly completed, and he flatters himself he
will receive tho favorable patronage of his fellow-citi
zens—sufficient, at least, to have it published and
placed in a durable form.
That a revised delineation is called for, of our ex
tensive territory, independently of what exists in the
labors of Stnrges and Greene, will not be questioned.
The accumulation and possession, sinco their times,
of a vast body of land designated then as wilderness,
or the temporary domain of the Indian tribes, with nat
ural objects well worthy “a habitation and a name,”
have been converted into organized counties, present
ing a dense population, flourishing villages, and ex
tensive public and private improvements.
The Map to be published (so soon as a sufficient
number of subscribers will warrant,) is 5 feet by 4
and 8 inches, and is designed to exhibit as well as
perpetuate the present condition of the whole topog
raphy of the State. In addition to the ordinary metes
and hounds—courses of rivers and ranges of moun
tains, Railroads, Canals, comity sites,.post offices, fac
tories, i-’ fact all remarkable places of the past or pre
sent day, will be shown. The attention of the com
piler has been particularly directed to a faithful draw
ing of county lines and public roads, and to accom
i pltsh such important ends, he has not only consulted
the original surveys and the acts of various Legisla
tures, but he deemed it the better plan to make-rough
sketches of each county and submit the same to the
Justices of the Inferior Court, Postmasters, and others
equally compcnt and obliging, and to ask for such
additions and corrections as might be necessary, and
farther to designate any and all objects of natural cu
riosity that might exist. To many, if not all of his
requests, kind, prompt and satisfactory answers were
received, so that many glaring inaccuracies in the
maps heretofore published have been corrected ; and
the compiler takes this occasion of returning his ac
knowledgments to those who favored hie objects, as
rendering a service not merely to himself, but aiding
most materially in the thorough and correct develope
ment of the whole plan. To his brother Engineers of
the different Railroads, his thanks are due for the use
of maps whith enabled him net only to lay down the
true courses of those important works, but likewise to
make profiles exhibiting the elevation above the sea,
of every station from the Atlantic to the Tennessee
river. The Map will be embellished with views of
the State House-and Executive and will be
furnished at ten Hol
las per copy.

THE HISTORY OF AMERICA,
EDITED BY JOHN INMAN, ESQ. *
THE republic at ten of this valuable Work has been
undertaken pertly on account of (he high favor with
which it fins Lceii received in Ktto chiefly in
consideration of its intrinsic vslre. niising fn in’ its
felicitous :uia; L’.timi t ‘ the plan to a want that has
been long and generally felt, and from die judgment
and fidelity manifested in its execution.’ The idea of
giving in a single work, of no very fbrrr.idahle dimen
sions, and at. a price which brings it within the reach
of very moderate circumstances, a sufficient outline
of the world’s whole history, and similar outlines of
the history of every nation, is Vo obviously judicious
and appropriate as In require no cniogiVm. Every
person who cares at all tor die acquisition of useful
knowledge, must desire to possess such a general
knowledge of past events, not only i„ his own country
but in all countries, as shall enable hint to understand
the perpetually recurring allusions that are found in
almost any course of general reading: because for
want of such understanding there is a7uav* a serious
diminution both of pleasure and profit even indie re.
rural of such works a* are designed chiefly for amuse
ment. For instance, most off-ir Walter Scott’s nov
els are founded iijon history, and abound with refer
ences to historial events and personages, a want of
rente acquaintance a ith which detracts seriously lio-n
the interest and delight they are st; well qualified to
awaken; and so of most other works belonging ti>
the better class of wlmt is called light literature. Put
the difficulty has hr n to obtain this - eneral km wl
edge without going through many keel s, reenirir n
greater expenditure of time and mono than tr:ct r ,-7
sons asp aide or willing to afiord; ni dto obviate - itch
difficulty has been the purpose of Mr. M * under.
Jlis plan has the merit nf completeness, and •->>
doubtedly the host that could have hern ties':irt! “ flj
gives first a general sketch of ancitnt rrd r> and, r n
history—a rapid ard cr-mpirherrive hiid'-.p. , . v
as it were, of the rise and r rrgrffs < f Vatiet-s"’*'e
most, important incidents of theit career, and their •• -
1 aliens to each other ; and alter t is hr takes vp the
nations separately, furnishing a ctncisc dir r?t of
that is important or desirable to knew ceneerninff
each, and thus affording a sort oh l ev to the chance*
and events that were more briefly indicated rali cr’hv
their results than their incitlenrs. in the general sketch
or outline. Thus the salient points of hblorv are
brought within a manageable compass; and an excel
lent foundation is laid lor mete thorough and exten
sive reading in reference to am’ portion ol the world
or any epoch of which a knowledge may he desired.
In the execution of this plan the author has hceti
very successful, llis notice of histoiica! events, tho’
brief, are lucid and satisfactory; art! bp traces lb*
connection of effect aud cause with singular act inert
and genaraliy with most commendable freedom from
partiality or bias ; thus supplying a very good idea of
the philosophy of history as well ns ol the facts u hieh
history records. In a word, the work will Le found
invaluable to the general reader and a very useful help
to the student. ‘ 1
