A good mother was trying to explain
to a young hopeful in Macon the other
day about fighting against the devil.
After telling the little fellow who the
devil was, and how hard he was to suc
cessfully resist, he turned around and
said; “Mamma, I’d be scared of the
old devil, but if I was to come • across
one of-his little devils I’d knock the
stuffing out of him.”

The County Papeb. The “little
county paper” is tho best read pa ier
in the world. No other contains the
marriages and the' deaths, to say noth
ing of divorces and births; no other
relates the accidents happening before
the doors of the villagers; no other
gives the time for the next ball, pic
nic or political meeting; no other dis
cusses’’ the affairs of. .the town and
county, the arrival of new goods on
the merchants’ counters, or of a new
hat on the. editof’s desk. Without a
paper, a town that has ever enjoyed a
well managed one feels indeed lost. —

President Johnson sends a communi
cation to the Chronicle in reply to that
of Judge Holt printed last August, on
the subject of the execution of Mrs.
Surratt." The Chronicle says of John
son 's communication: It is through
out dignified, free from needless per
sonalities and all vituperation, and is
confined to a review of the statements
of a Government ‘Official, which, if.
credited, might effect his reputation as
a citizen, and as officer while
noting as the Cheif Executive of
tho nation. Charges from unofficials
sources are altogether ignored in John
son's communication.
Manotung Tbees.—“Shall I manure
my fruit trees or not? Men who claim
to know give exactly opposite advice
—some saying it will do more harm
than good while others say you can
not have fine large fruit without it—
what say you?” As circumstances
differ exceedingly, the treatment must
differ. To give absolute rules without
reference to controling causes is quack-
ery. But how are your trees now? Are
they : slow and' feeble in growth, or are
they over-luxuriant? Do you ask, how
to tell? The answer is a simple one—
examine the growth. If the annual
shoots aro three or four feet long they
need no manure. If the shoots are
only three or four inches long, they
want either manure or what is better,
clean, mellow cultivation another year.
If manure i3 used, spread it broadcast
this Fall and turn under next Spring.

your .boatman rows the skiff to the

Ahem! Turn him? It seems easy
enough to say “turn him,” hut how
do you do it? You bend down, bend
ing far over the bow of the boat, make
both hands meet under his belly in
the water, and you lift Mr. Turtle
clean out of the water and tumble him
backward into the boat. It is sur

alone in a glen formed by two spurs of
the mountain, with but few neighbors
and no town within fifty miles, but,
ns my Kaffirs bad become sufficiently
civilized to understand that Christmas
time meant unlimited eating, I
wished, by providing game, to save an
ox. Iliad only five or six miles to go
and was well mounted, so 1 did not
hurry, lint leading my horse up the
steep pass, reached the place where .1
intended to sleep, just as the sun was
setting.
The scene around, though quite dif
ferent from our ideas what it should
be in December, was very beautiful.
There was no snow, no leafless trees
with their delicate tracery set off by
the glistening hoar frost, nor dark
green firs bending under their white
load; but still there was enough to.keep
me Standing; forgetful of firewood, and
all I had to do for comfort during the
night. -
I was on a narrow ledge of rock,
seperated from the network of hills
beyond by a deep perpendicular gorge
at the bottom of which, so far down
that I could hardly distinguish it, ran
a little bnrn. The setting sun gave
the peaks that rich purple hue seldom
seen away from heather, and on the
other side, as far as the eye could
reach, lay the thern covered flats and
hills of Natal.
Under the rock was a large cave,
where I had determined to sleep. It
had in olden times been a regular re
sort of the buslimen, but few come
near it now; indeed, I had not known
they came at all but on going infound
some otfiabaslies, and the ashes of a
newly made fire which could have been
only left by them. There were other
marks on the walls, though evidently of
great antiquity; rude sketches and
drawings of cattle, horses, hows and
arrows, aiid even a bushman riding.
It is most enrions that a race so low
down in scale of humanity that their
language only contains a few words
made up of unpronounceable clicks,
and who with the exception of the use
of fire, in their mode of life differ but
little from the ape, should have learn
ed to do'this. It may be as a rem
nant of an old sign language, or the
lust relic of some former civilization.
It was a full moon, and after admiring
the wonderful lights and shadows
thrown by it on the broken ground, I
turned -in and, slept till near daylight-.
As soon as I could, see I started to
hunt. Much to my annoyance at the
time, though I afterward had reason
to be thankful that mv horse was spar
ed such a gallop as an eland bunt en
tails, -I could do nothing, and could
tell by the spoors there had been no
herd around for some days. It was
nearly noon before I became convinc
ed of this; and tempted by a shady
nook I unharnessed Prince and lay
down. Of course I dozed off, but
soon awoke with a sudden return to
consciousness, and with all my wits
abont me, and inward feeling, which
perhaps some of my readers have ex
perienced, of something being wrong,
and a tension of all the powers of
hearing to discover what it is. I had
not long to wait. Whiz came a tiny
arrow, striking the stone on which my
head was resting. It did not require
much thinlrig to know that a bnsli-
mnil's hand held the bow from which
it came, nor to determine that the
safetest thing to do was to-roll quiet jy
into a little brook that flowed nearby.
Luckily, this -would afford goodshelter
and I could,^almost reach the edge
with my hand,
The tremendous violence with which
these streams comedown the hills dur
ing the thunder-storms wears a deep
passage, and though there was only an
inch of water and the hanks were on
ly a yard apart, they wei'e nearly four
feet high. Just as I was disappearing
another arrow came and struck me in
thigh. It look all my self-control to
continue my movements as before un
til I stood crouching at the bottom.
“Why,” the reader may say, “pain of
such an arrow cannot be great.” No;
neither is the bite of a snake, in itself
yet- of the two it is the least to be
dreaded. It was poisoned with that
deadly skill for which the whole tribe
is famous,, and I knew I had little
chance of seeing another sunrise.
However, with that self-helf that
men who lead a solitary life acquire,
Instantly drew my hunting knife, rip
ped up the trousers, and with a steady
hand cut out- the arrow head, not
sparing myself. I then took my flask
and poured powder into the wound,
and gently striking a match set fire to
it. This done I took off my belt, and
using my full force strapped it ft little

that I was still .'lying asleep, in proof
of which I soon heard the whistle of
another arrow striking above me.—
Moving down abont a yard to where
the overhanging ,ferns would conceaj
me, I quietly raised my head. The
ground was slightly rising, and I
could see around for some distance.—
There was my horse, unconsciously
grazing away, but the grass was too
long for me to see my enemy’s where
abouts. I however guessed that he
would try to get between ns, and so I
waited watching and grasping my ri
fle. Ten minutes passed in silence,
and then I fancied that the grass was
moving unnaturally. In another sec
ond a hand and bow appeared; I heard
the little twang, and saw the tiny'mes
senger of death again pierce the spot
where I had been. I. kept myself
from firing, though I. covered - the
place. Snrely he would become impa
tient and give me a better chance,—
Another ten minutes, and suddenly in
another spot, which commanded a
better view of my cap, a little black
head peered over the grass. It was
enough, and as I fired a shrill shriek
and a spasmodic spring into the air
told me that I had nothing more to
fear.
Getting out as quickly, as possible,
I dragged myself, for the limb was
now much swollen and becoming
more and more painful, to my saddle,
where I carried in a little bottle some
eaa du luce for snake bites, and pour
ed out a large dose. After drinking
it I caught my horse, saddled it, and
picking up two arrows, went to have
a look at the dead busliman. He was
scarcely over four feet high, with
arms so long and thin as to reach de
formity, short and bow-kneed legs
supporting a little round body (he
evidently had not been starving late
ly), and features .so closely resembling
those of an intelligent ape, that, had
there been a tail, no"one wohld have
thought twice about- the matter. 1
did not remain long;/there' was no
time to lose; so, taking His bow, I
mounted and putting the horse in his
best pace, I started on my long ride.
I knew perfectly well that the only
chance, such ns it was, of saving my
life depended on my -reaching Lady
smith that night and obtaining medi
cal, assistance. The distance wasfully
sixty miles, and with but one excep
tion , there wes nothing bdt Dutch
boors’ houses on the road whence I
could not hope for any help. For
the first twenty miles I kept steadily
on my way, though the agony was
dreadful, and I could hardly. sit on
my horse. I th eu reached to English-
man’s farm, pulled up, told my story,
asked for spirits to keep my strength
and the loan of a fresh borse. I shall
not easily forget his wife’s scared look
as she came out and saw me by the
light of her flickering-candle. I sup
posed I must seem half mad. They
brought me out a fnll bottle of whisky
and a tumbler, which I filled and
drank off neat; but they had not got
the horse “np.” They were, he said,
all running, and it would take hours to
find them. So I started again. I do
not remember much more of that wild
moonlight ride; I became drowsy -and
half delirious, just retaining sense
enough to go straight. How I did it
I do not know, as'for the greater part
of the way there was no road, and
even in daylight, and with nothing
the matter, I should have hesitated in
more than one place. However,
Providence or instinct guided me light;
and, as I was afterwards told, I remem
ber nothing abont it. I reached the
town at l a. h.—just eleven hours af
ter I had left. I had finished the
whisky on the road, and it was to that
the doctor ascribed my ultimate recov
ery. For nine days I was in a high
fever aud delirious; and it was more
than six weeks before I got up; and
for years afterward the wound did not
heal. Even to the present day it con
stoutly breaks out afresh, and will
probably continue to do so to the end
of my existence.-—Chambers' Journal.
Tea.—Dr. Adam Smith, in a paper
read before the Loudon Society of
Arts, recommends the use of tea in the
following cases: After a fnll meal,
when the systen is oppressed; for the
corpulent aad the old; for hot climates;
and especially for those who, living
there eat freely, or drink milk or al
cohol; in oase of suspended anima
tion; for soldiers, who in time of
peace, take too much food ia relation
to the waste proceeding in the body
soldiers and others marching in hot
climates, for then, by promoting evap*
oration aud cooling of Ibe body, it
and combats the elements of corrup-
! tion and disease. In the presence of
the actual misfortune which over
whelms the land, our distressed com
munities are cheered with the fail-
promise of a thorough cleansing of the
national system, find 3 complete erad
ication of the unwholesome partisan
influences that have invited and pre
cipitated the disorders that now pre
vail.
The results of list Tuesday’s elec
tions proves that an irresistible politi-.
cal reaction has set in whose “mighty
current and compulsive course” will
sweep on with spreading and accumu
lating power, until it shall have en
gulfed every vestige of Radical supre
macy. The couulry has long been
waiting the people’s verdict upon the
party of miBrule and comiptiou,' and
at last it has been pronounced in a
judgment of condemnation from
which there is no appeal. The Weak
ness, the utter 11 helplessness of the Ad*
ministration, can be seen in the light,
or rather in the shadows, of the re
cent deplorable events, when we re
flect that all the partisan and official
resources of that Administration were
unequal to the task of bridging over
the catastrophe until after the Novem
ber elections. Had they been able to
prop, for a few weeks longer, the rot
ten financial 1 structure which they
built upon the quicksands of doctrines
without base or substance, they
might, at least, have escaped the or
deal of a trial by ballot, in which wide
spread ruin and wretchedness were
the inexorable witnesses against them.
But right at the threshold of the elec
tion their financial abortion, with not
vitality for stimulants to act on, strug
gled in its dying agonies; and over
its bloated corpse a (million disgust
ed voters stepped to the polls and vo
ted for the prompt burial of the incu
bus and its progenitors.
The downfall of the Republican par
ty will inaugurate tbe era of- national
rehabilitation. A dearly-bought ex
perience has taught the 'people the
peril of retaining in power a faction
long after its mission had been fulfill
ed; for a national party that has no
national purpose to accomplish mnst
naturally .degenerate to the service of
individual ambition or of schemes of
public plunder.
The situation is had enough, but it
lias the redeeming feature of annihila
ting the creators of the mischief. The
.ship is in troubled waters, but the
hands that guided it into the breakers
are paralyzed for ever, and more skill
ful pilots are ready to take the helm.
But for this crushing evidence of Re
publican incapacity, we might have
gonefurtlier under their administra
tion tod fared worse. The elements
of recuperation still exist; ana When
the principles under Which the Re
public prospered shall have resumed
their sway, the shattered fortunes will
he rebuilt, the channels of industry
will be reopened, the Gordian knot of
finance will be loosened or ent, and
the dark hour will lapse into the rosy

Inflnencc of the Moon on Vegetation.
M. Caibonnier, a member of the
Acclimation Society, of Paris,has pub
lished the result of-.some, observations
of the effect of the moon upon vegeta
tion, which tend to confirm the popu
lar notions on this subject.
It is well known that glass aquari
ums, placed in the light, soon become
invaded by algoid growths, which in
Borne cases, after a time, pervade tbe
whole of the interior. M. Carbonnier
requiring to keep a number of these
reservoirs perfectly clean, found that,
while in some cases do vegetation ap
peared for ten days, or even more, in
others it was completely developed in
two or three days. Watching these
phenomena with care for some time,
he came to the conviction that the
maximum intensity of this vegetation
corresponded with the time of the full
moon; he found that the increase di
minished dnring the other phases of
the moon until it was imperceptible;
aad, while at- full moon the aquariums
j had to be cleaned every day, after that
period twice a week proved sufficient.
The water that he used for his aqua
riums is that of the canal of the Oureq,
(too impure for culinary purpose,)
which is open for a long distance, and
is remarkable for the nnmber of mi
croscopic germs it contains, very vari
able in quantity, but considerable at
the time of the full moon.

Persistence of the odor of cedar
wood.—Respecting the persistent char
acter of the pleasant odor of cedar,
it is stated, on the authority of Mr. E.
Lewis, that it is as persistent as the
wood itself. Slivers taken from white
cedar stumps, found-twelve’Meet un
der water at low tide, fnear the Nar
rows entrance to New York harbor,
had the odor of the newly-grown
wood, and a piece not more than
twice the size of one’s finger percep
tibly scented a drawer for more than
a year. “It is certain,” says Mr.
Lewis, “that the coast, where the
trees of which these are the stumps
grew, has since undergone a depres
sion of eighteen or twenty feet, an
event which, may have occupied as
many centuries.” When quite a Lid
he Was present at the exhuming of a
large quantity of cedar timber, which
was found buried from ten to twelve
feet in the black muck of a bog, in
the center of this State. The sap por
tion of the trees had entirely rotted
away leaving the hearts perfectly
sound. The quality of this timber
was superb. It was so free-grained
that an axe struck in the but would of
ten split it up to the knots of the
limbs Which had rotted away. The
odor, of this timber was perfectly dis
tinct and strong, nearly or qnite as
much so as trees newly felled to the
surface. It was evident that genera
tion after generation of cedar trees
had grown and fallen in this hog.—
How long some of theM had remained
there it is impossible to say, but it
must have been ifiany centuries.

All the paper used"to print the na

Glen Mills, hear Westchester, Pa.,‘ tiy

The principal peculiarity is that short
pieces of red silk thread are mixed
with the pulp, and this is ponred on
the wire cloth, without goin through a
sieve (as that wonld retain the thread.
Next, from a separate contrivance
worked in a very pecnliar manner, a
shower of short blue silk threads falls

the process of formation. One side of
the paper is thus covered with bine
lines formed by the bine silk thread;
