and see the sights. NYe uu hesitatingly
consented, and we saw sights sure
enough. Riding upon the designated
square, we beheld the whole of the
thirty or forty members, Northern men
and Southern meu, Whigs, Democrats
and Know-Nothings, walking to and
fro, all gazing earnestly in every direc

every female figure to discover the ob

The Old Oaken Backet
A Rumor and its Conseqnenees.
We translate the following illustra
tion of Russian military rule, for the
Daily News, from a German papei :
At tiie time the report of tlie tak
ing of Sevastopol was current, a rich
nobleman from the town of S , on
the frontier of Galicia, received a letter
announcing the fall of Sevastopol and
the burning of Odessa. He bad at the
same moment some friends with him,
to whom he communicated the con
tents, requesting them, however, not
to mention it. Unfortunately his wish
es was disregarded, and in a few hours
nothing was spoken of in all Warsaw
J but the burning of Odessa and the tak
ing of Sevastopol. The report was
! carried to Prince Paskiewitch, who im
mediately sent for the nobleman and
'asked him:—“Count, from whence
have you this news?” The nobleman
handed the Prince the letter he had re
ceived. “ There is not a word of truth
in all this?” said the Prince. “I
thought so,” answered tlie Count, “ and
I only mentioned it to a few confiden
tial friends, and with the request not
to repeat it.” “ Tlie Government has
full confidence in you, aud as you have
repeatedly given proofs of your loyali-
tv,” said the Prince, “ we are far from
the wish to punish you for this. ’ But
I desire that you should convince your
self, by a pleasure trip to Odessa and
Sevastopol, that this report is totally
false.” “ As } r our Highness orders.”
“Go to my Secretary aud lie will tell
you my further wishes.
T.;e Count left and repaired to tlie
Secretary, who handed him a prepared
passport. Scarcely had he arrived at
his own house, when an aid-de-camp
entered, and announced to him that
the carriage and post horses were
awaiting him. During the . time the
burning of Odessa and taking of Sevas
topol occupied all Europe, our unfor
tunate Count was on his unwilling jour
ney behind four fiery steeds to convince
himself of the truth of the report. He
was not allowed to stop en route. At
OdottHi lie • was taken to tlie palace ol
the Governor, who received him very
kindly, but immediately ordered him
to Sevastopol. • Here also lie was po

Count, what do you now believe? Are
Odessa and Sevastopol taken?” “ Oh
your Highness,” answered the Count,
who was half dead with fatigue of his
hurried journey, “both towns are still
secure, so'secure that they never will
be taken.” * “Go then, Count,. invite

Don’t Use Unrotted Manures.—
Farmers are in the habit of putting
manure on their land iu an unrottvu
state. Manure so applied is worse
than vain. Before it can be used bv
plants it must be entirely decomposed.
The first stage of decomposition forms
a dry mold, which draws moisture to
itself, iustead of furnishing it to plants.
In this state, before it is decomposed
sufficiently to yield any nourishmen*-
to plants, the best season for crops is
over. To insure good crops, a vigor
ous, early start is necessary. If they
are injured by any cause tint retards
an early start, thev will never recover.
They are uufitted to stand the intense
heat and drought of midsummer un
less they have a. favorable start, by
which tlieir roots are spread wide and
deep. If the roots reach into drt,
mouldy straw or horse dung, the sum
mer sun will penetrate to them and
destroy them. To be beneficial, it
should be rotted till it is suitable for
roots to be set in, and not put plants
in it and then wait for it to rot—Ohio

How to Make Sweet Potato Pud
ding.—Take half a pound of sweet po
tatoes, wash them, and put them into a
pot with a very little water, barely
enough to keep them from burning.
Let them simmer slowly for about
half an hour; they must be only par
boiled, otherwise they wil! be soft, and
may make tlie pudding heavy. When
they a e half done, take them out, pea!
them, and when cold grate them. Stir
together to a cream half a jKiund of but
ter and six ounces of powdered sugar,
add a grated nutmeg, a large teas-
poonful of beaten mace, also the juiev
and grated peel of a lemon, a wineglass
of rose water, a glass of wine, and a
glass of br inly, stir these ingredi
ents together. Beat eight eggs very
light, and stir them into the mixture
in turn with the sweat potato, a little
at a time of each. Having stirred the
whole very hard at the last, put it in
to a buttered dish and bake it tiiree-
quarters of an hour. Eat it cold.
Rotation of Crops in the Gar--
den.—It is the custom of many who
have small vegetable gardens to piaul
the same crops in the same spots year
after year. This may be done and
good crops be obtained if the land is
deeply trenched and thoroughly ma
nured every year. But without these
precautions crops will almost certainly
degenerate. The turnips, very likely,
will become maggoty and rot, and the
peas fail to fill out w«-ll, and the cab
bages show small heads. Though we
may manure abundantly and work the
soil two spits deep, we find it to great
advantage to change the locality oi the
crops every year, with few exceptions.
Asparagus car uot very well be chang
ed’ anil onions seems to do better upon
the same spot, year after year.—Amer

This most popular song Was writen
by Samuel P. \Yoodworth, while yet
he was a journeyman printer, working
in An office at the corner of Chambers
and Chatham streets. Near by, in
Frankford street, was a drinking shop
kept by a man named Mallory, where
Woodworth and several particular
friends used to resort. One afternoon
the liquor was super-excellent.—
Woodworth seemed inspired bv it;
for, after taking a draught, he set his
glass bpon the table, , and smacking his
li s, declared that Mallory’s eau de vie
was superior to anything he had ever
tasted. ‘No said Mallory, ‘you are
mistaken; there was one which in
both our estimations, far surpassed
this in the way of drinking.’ ‘YVhat
was that?’asked Woodworth, dubious
ly. ,Tbe draughts of pure, fresh
spring water that we used to drink
from^he old oaken bucket that hung
in the well, after our return from the
labors of the field on a sultry day in
Summer.’ The tear-drop glistened for
a moment in Woodworth’s eye.—
‘True, true,’ Iig replied, and shortly
after quitted the place. He imme-
diatly returned to the office, grasped
a pen and in half an hour the “Old
Oaken Bucket,’ one of the most
delightful compositions in our lan
guage, was ready in manuscript to be
embalmed in the memories of succeed
ing generations.
Anecdote of Webster.—Among
the many anecdotes told of Mr. Web
ster, there is one which, though reflec
ting slightly upon his negligence of
pecuniary matters is still very Web.
sterian:
On one occasion, it is related, he
was the guest of the Southern Senators
and Representatives in the city of
Washington, and they passed many
compliments upon him, and alludetl
frequently to his being like the South
erners in liis habits and feelings, and it
,was all an accident that he was born
in New Hampshire.- At last Mr.
Webster arose. ‘Gentlemen,” said he
it has been stated that I resemble,”
the Southerners in many respects—
and I must /confess that, now it has
been mentioned, I think I do.—
The Southerners love a good glass
of wine—so do I. This is one thing
in which I resemble the Southerners.
The Southerners are alse good judges
of beauty, and I will confess that I
am a lover of the beautiful. This makes
two points of resemblance; but there
is d third in which I more closely res
emble them. The Southerners, it is
said, never pay their debts and the
same has also been said of me. In
these particulars, gentlemen, I feel
that I am like the Southerners.”—
Shouts of laughter followed this sally
of wit and good humor.
There is a man living near Sidney,
in Shelby county, Ohio, nearly ninety
years of age. who has a Jiet pending
with a neighbor that he will live to be
a hundred years old. The wager is a
hundred bushels of corn, and in case
either or both should die before the
expiration of the hnndrcd years, their
heirs are obligated to pay over the
required amount.
Venus, one of the brightest of the
planets, is now visible with the naked

.i\ Treatment of Tomatoes.—During,

be^i^fe^itly disturb -d. \Y iien they
have set^beir fruit they may l*e .-bor-
tened, and it may be deferred until the
fruit is of half size, when it may be
readily observed that y0 per cent, of
the fruit is within 13 inches of the
ground, while 90 per cent of the > iue
or bush is beyond that distance. The
vine, therefore should be trimmed to
within half an ineb of the tomato near
est the end of each branch. This will
admit sun and air freely, and although
ten per cent, of the tomatoes that might
have grown will be taken away, still

Hickory Bark.-By preparing woo

ounces to the pound of wool, and wash
ing the goods well afterwards, they
can be dyed a beautiful brown by us
ing hickory bark, butternut bark or
yellow oak bark, as substitutes for fus

scribed. Lombardy poplar bark or
the leaves of tlie peach tree, may also
be used for the same purpose aid in the
same way. ^
The Olive Tree in* the South.—
R. Chisholm has written a letter totho
Charleston Mercury (S. C.,) in which
he states that he _tias cultivated two
kinds of the olive for ten years, and
that its fruit ripens lully in tne low
countries of the South, lie has now
three hundred trees in cultivation, but
he believes that it cannot tic cultivated
at present for the sake of its oil, as
cotton is a more pri Stable crop.
Onions and Tobacco Juice.—
Some tobacco steeped for a few hoary
in water, so as to make a weak soitt-
tion, is stated to be a perfect cure for
the onion worm. ■ Three cents forth of
tobacco is sufficient for a bed of onion*
20 feet square. The solution should^ y
be sprinkled on the onions when tb
are about three inches high.
