DOMESTIC ITEMS. SEtpLrfZ Powders. —Each dose contains 25 grains of tartaric acid in the white paper, and 30 grains super-ca/bonate of soda, mixed with j two drachms of glauber salts, in the blue. To Render Paper Incombustible.— Pound , a quantity of alum in a mortar, add to it a small quanty of gunpowder, and dissolve the whole in : three times its weight ot water over a slow fire. I Paper dipped twice or three times in this so. lotion while it is warm, aifid then dried, will be incombustible. To Take SroTs from I, father Glovp.s. Suspend them in a jar over the strongest liquid j ammonia (hartshorn.) Ihe tunics alone will; remove the spots • be very carelul not to let the liquid touch the glove, or it will leave a mark even more unsightly than the spot it has remo- j red. 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 small loaves or round cakes lj inches thick and bake in a brisk oven. To Decoy and Destroy Ants in Dwel lings.—When practicable, place near the end I of passage on a level, a baisin or bowl filled with dry mould ; then put a hone or bones ol fresh meat in the bottom (such as are, disregar 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 salt is not a favorite.— Gardener's (Jhron. Cure for Asthma. — There is no complaint more harrassing than Asthma. The Newark Daily Advertiser, a reliable paper, pledges him self to cure this distressing disease with the fol lowing simple remedy. “Take 1 \ oz. sulphur, j 1 oz. cream-tartar, 1 oz. senna, joz. annis-seed j pulverize, aSc thoroughly mix the same, nnd j Like one teaspoonful in about two table spoon- j fuls of molasses on going to bed’ or at such lime i through the day as may best suit t lie patient ;• the dose once a day may \)t> increased or dim-1 inishej a littl*i as may best suit the state, of the j bowc lsjff'he individual. j 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. I take a city Paper.— The following arti cle, taken from the Vt. Patriot, is respectfully dedicated to WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.” “This is the answer that thousands of our . good people ofVermont give when solicited to take a Vermont paper ; to say nothing of those j who stop their own state papers because thc\ ! •are going to tako a city paper.’ Now, supposing this patronizing the city were carried out. Many of the peoples who take a city in preference to a state paper, are mechanics; tailors, shoemakers, hatters, &c. j &c. Suppose the rest of us give them a touch j of their own practice and go to the city for our j hats, coats, &c !” Wonder how that would : work?” Suppose those who buy all the arti- i cles they consume, one way or another, patron.'’ ize the city and tell our shoemakers, and hat ters and tailors, “O. we can’t patronize you any longer—we are going to the city for our boots our hats and our coats. They get theso things in the city a little slicker than you do, and may be a few cents cheaper.” “Can’t I sell you a coat to-day, Mr. East, man ?” “No ; I urn going to have a city coat, this spring.” “There are an excellent pair of boots, Ma jor. I should like to sell them to you.” “Thank you for nothing. You made me a good pair last fall, but 1 must stop patronizing ! you now. lam going to have a pair of city j boots.” “Sell you a hat to-day, Squire ?’* ‘Bah ?do you suppose I’d wear a. country hat ! No sir-E ! I buy niy hats in tho city. — This system tiied on those who practice it the roost, would work finely, would’nt it 7 When we get a railroad up into the country, it well be tin easy matter to go to the city for every thing from Law, Physic and Divinity through merchandize and mechanics down to xvoodsaw. ing, and then other people, than poor country printers, may hear cf city competition.” In a gentlemen’s debating society at Marble nead, the question was debated, is a woman a dromedary V which w;as decided, ‘she is un. till she takes off her bustle. At a female debating society out west the question was discussed. ‘ls a man a monkey?’ which was decided— He is — until he shaves off his goatee.’ . *• • Sweeten Life. —Oh, hoxv glorious to make every thing pleasant—to throw sunshine on every cloud! Sweeten life by smiles kind words, and sunshine. Make joy to spring in your path, and love to glow on every face. In stead of showing angry feeling to the boy who swpeps dirt upon you say to him with a smile, “iny.little feiliAv be careful,” and pass on. De. pend upon it, the boy will not trouble you again To the inHn who puts his double fist in your face, say, “my-dear sir have more respect for yourself,” audit will change his mini in a mo ment. Do you ever meet a person down at the heel T Squeeze his hand and point to an acre of sunshine, resting on the fair hills.— Has poverty brought your friend to the blues Open your heart and your purse—A largr heart and bright dollars will sweep the cloud from his face. Sweeten life, we repeat— There is sorrow and puiri ami disappointments enough, in all concience, without your adding to the amount. There is a loud call for smiles, love, kindness. 'vect words, and cheerful looks if you have nothing, these you can bestow, and add a large amount to the stock of human coin tort and human happiness. j A Saw. —The Hickman (Ky.) Standard, a month ago puzzled newspa portion) by i tuafollowing mysterious paragraph : “A young,-iaj.v whose name wc have not been mine-to our dwelling | two lias since remained in our family. She has not spoken a word since her j arrival, but weeps almost incessantly.” Six weeks after publishing the above, our i waggish brother relieved public anxiety by this admission : “We have since found out her name, and can guess pretty well ‘where she camo from.’— Miss Lucy Hanna is a bouncing girl, and when she gefi a little older will call us fa j thcr.” A Disagreeable Joke. —The N. Y. Sun j says that a lad/ residing in Portland, Maine, | and expecting a large company, sent for cream of tartar to raise ter biscuits- By mistake tartar ! emetic was got. The biscuits were beautifully \ light, and the guests ate heartily, one lady ex j claiming, there “never was anything so nice.” | The meal was hardly over when the emetic I began to work, and gentlemen and ladies fell to vomiting with might aWI main. One of the j gents, a very fat man, imagined ho was pois oned, sent for a doctor. bin before that func ! tionary arrived the medicine bad taken unoth er course, leaving thr patient in as bad a con dition as a cleanly p.'i'smi could well imagine.

It 1 seems llmt tho hoys attending tho school, of the ■ averagAage of seven years, had in their play of 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 cipally to the cotduct of tho hoys in the streets and their sportL ‘Flic principles of rectitude and kindness wlifch should gox’ern them every where—even whm they were alone and when there was no eyi to see and no one present to observe.—The sfhool seemed deeply interes ted in the remarks. Avery short [time after the visitor left the school a littlo biy arose in his scat and said. ‘Miss D. 1 1 butted the ball that broke Mr. j ’s window Another boy threw the ball but I batted it aid it struck the window’ lam willing to pay 1 or it.’ There was a death-liko silence in the school as the little hoe was speaking, and continued fora minute alter he had closed. ‘But it wontjbo right for to pay the whole for the glass.’ said another boy rising in his seat all of us that were playing should pay some thing because we were all engaged aliko in play I’ll pay my part !’ •And I !’ .e*{iA ,u l I !’ from thrill of pleasure seemed to run through t'..'c school at this display of correct- feeling.— The teacher’s heart was touched and she felt more than evorthe responsibility of her charge. Bangor Whig. Eloquence at a Premium.— ‘ May it please tho Court,’ said a Yankee lawyer before a Dutch Justice the other day, ‘ this is a case of the greatest importance. While tho American Ea gle, whe.se sleepless eye watches over tho wel fare of tills mighty republic, and whoso wings extend from the Alleghanics to tho Rocky Chain of the West, was rejoicing in his pride of place,’ ‘ Shtop dare ! slitop dare, I say! vat has dis suit to do rail eagles.

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 load—-all were killed, and the merchant passed j down in safety. 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. “Prisoner, stand up ! arc you guilty or not guilty 7” “faith, and do you think I shall do the work of the jury tor ’em when they are paid for that A good Joke. —The Nashua Gazette says that in a certain town in Nexv Hampshire, that shall be nameless, a man who had been bereav. ed of his wife had tho customary “note ” read in the church where he usually worshipped.— Within six weeks after, the mourning widower tool* to himself another wife. A short time af ter his marriage, the clergyman of the parish “ exchanged ” with a neighboring minister, who finding the 44 note ” in the pulpit, and supposing it was placed there for him to read, accordingly read it again, much to the delight of the congre gation and the edification of—the former mourn ing widower.

Goodale presented himself. 4 So, sir, you’ve clapped your dirty sojer trap pings on my husband, have you.’ 4 Who is your husband, madam,’ demanded the Lieutenant. ‘Billy McMurtee ; and a bould hoy he is, if it plase ye. And it is a dirty thing o’you my pretty man, to take him from his wife and chil dren.’ 4 Can’t be helped,’ said the Lieutenant, 4 it is too late now.’ ‘Then take the baby, too,’ cried the woman, as she forced the child into the arms of Licuten ant G. 4 take ’em all, I’ll send you four more, before nigbt.’ Off she ran at a rapid pace, leaving the un- 1 fortunate Lieutenant, with the new recruit squal ling, in his arms. Doubtful of its value to the ; service of Unde Sam, he sent it home by the father.- —Cincinnati Commercial. A morose looking man was yesterday brought before the Recorder for beating his wife, who has, or rather has had, the very tongue of a tcr migant. The watchman described the woman as unable to speak at the time he arrested the prisoner, so severe was the beating she had just j received. 4 Edwards,’said the Recorder—the prisoner’s name was John Edwards—“l shall line you ten dollars, and oblige you to give bail to keep the peace.” •This is the sentence of the Court, is it?’ said Edwards. 4 It is,’ said the Recorder. ‘Then 1 protest against it,’ said Edwards. ‘On what ground ?’ said the Recorder. 4 On the g round, : said Edwards, that it is con- I trary to the spirit of our institutions, and a vio- \ lation of my personal rights as a citizen.’ ‘llow so,’ said the Recorder. ‘ How so!’ said Edwards. Why, sir, its out. rageous. How! for making an attempt to do | what I succeeded in accomplishing, you dub I Gen. Taylor a “Hero”—and a hero he no doubt is—you throw tip your caps and say lie shall be every body’s President, or the President of all parties, which is about the same, and— • Well, sir,’ said the Recorder, 4 where lies the analogy between your conduct and that of Gen. Taylor?’ ‘ Why, in this, sir,’ said Edwards, 4 lie has at. tempted to conquer a peace, and so far has fail ed ; I attempted to conquer a peace, and .ac cording to the testimony of your watchman—/ succcde.d.” ‘Take him down,’ said the Recorder, and he I was taken down.— Delta. 4 Waiter,’ said, a diner-out, in a down-town j restaurat yesterday— 4 Waiter, bring me a plate of soup, quick.’ 4 Say soup, again, stranger,’ said a tall Ten. ncssee returned volunteer, who happened to sit opposite to him,and I’ll give you a Cerro Gor do whipping, I will. 1 told the old General when I left him at Jalapa, that when I come to the States, I’d lick the first man I’d hear sayin’ soup, and Find and if I don’t do it.’ It was with great difficulty tho Tennesseean could be satisfied. Elopement. —Tho New York papers state that the daughter of Mr. F one of the fash ionable Broadway merchant tailors, disappeared a few days since, causing her family the great, est alarm and apprehension. A letter has been received from her. in which she assures her friends of her perfect safety in the arms of the “ roan she loves,” who is a proprietor of a sa loon, and a —married man ! Tho young lady is about 16 years of age, and very beautiful. Mrs. Fairvcather, of Bridgeport, Conn, a woman of much beauty, and formerly a member of the Methodist Church, who absconded from her husband, (a member of the same church,) leaving only two children, was lately found in tho lower part of Hudson street, New York, in ! tho arms of a male friend. The N. Y. Express j says the eclaiicissetnent was most heart-rend ing, and that a divorce will follow. A young lady at Chickopce Falls, Mass, was last week arrested, tried, and fined three dol. iars and costs, for stealing a comfort from a bed where she boarded, which she converted into a bustle. Now we did not know before that the fair sex took any comfort in wearing bustles. We thought they were worn simply for orna. ment, but it scorns we were mistaken. There is such a thing as a eom/or.'-ablo bustle. ‘ My young triend,’ said a minister to a boy at | camp meeting, ‘do you ever think of a future 1 state 7 ’ j ‘ No, I never meddle with state affairs, though I brother John is a practitioner.’ ‘ Do you ever think of dying 7 ’ * No, but I guess our Sally did when she got tho measles, for she turned all sorts of colors.’ * Whoso boy are you 7 ’ ‘ When any body axes you that, tell ’em you don’t know.’ Miss Ann Tiquity is said to be the oldest fe male in history.— Boston Star.

June 19,1846. 27 ts 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. A House tV JLot for sale , Oglethorpe street, next door to L. Durr’s residence.

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.
