The Springfield Register predicts that
the Piae county Railroad Charter will pass
the Illinois Legislature next session. 1t
says the people all along the lire Of tie
Great Western Road are in favor of it. 1t
will doubtless be demanded by powerful
influence in the Legislature. as the most
direct. means Of communication with the
Hannibal and st. Joseph Road.

The Pract cability Of the league.

This is not an experiment. 1t as been glo-
riously tested. & .-
A league has been formed in the County Of
Ononddgd, on a capital of $3,000,000.
In Yates County, on capital of $l,500,00o
In Chemung County, on a capital of s 100000.
In Seneca County, ON capital Of $l,5OO,OO0.
In Ontario County, on a capital OF 100000.
In Monroe County, on a capital OF $6,00O,0OO.
In Chautauque County on capital of 81, 100000.
In Delaware County, on a capital OF 81 800 600.
In TompSins County, on a capital OF S 500, 600.
In some Of the above counties the stock Is
continually Increasing. In all Of them where
the League has been faithfully administered,
they have been eminendy successful. In Yates
County, it has almost entirely rid the county of
every alcoholic plague-spot. Wherever the
friends have faithfully paid in their assessments
which with the exception Of Ontario, has in no
instance exceeded so cents on the 81 000), the
legal power, through the prosecuting agents has
done, or is admirably accomplishing the work.
Rum-sellers and politicians are appalled, and re-
buked by it. Where the assessments have not
been promptly paid, as in the County of Onon-
daga, though much is done, the work has been
lamentably delayed.
The Rum power is now possessed of the mo-
neyed, POLITICAL and legal powers. We intend
| to shift them into the hands of Temperance men.
That Accomplished, the work is chiefly done
Take case: The town Of Elbridge, Onon-
daga Co., is assessed on one million Of dollars
! by rum politicians, marly for the rum interest.
The tax is 81 cents on a hundred dollars, 80
cents OF which is for the support Of rumselers
and rum politicians and measures. With five
cents on the hundred dollars, only, with the aid
Of the town and county officers, we pledge our.
selves to abolish the dram shops, and put the
rumsellers in Jail, instead Of paying thirty cents
on the hundred dollars to Imprison our sons ant
friends-and so through the State.
l conclude my TASTY expose, with a notice o.
the fact that State Convention Of the Carson
League is to be held in the City of Rochester
on the 18th October next, at 10 o'clock A. NJ.
not to pass resolutions and make speeches, 1--WE

faithful execution to be present in it, and let th'
work be done, to use a homely expression
I''right along" We want to open an Office il
every suitable locality in the State, at once
where the poor drunkards' wives and familie,

A CHARGE As Is A CHAReE.-Judge
Jonah Joles recently delivered the fol-
lowing charge to the jury, in the case
of Elm Crunch, for stealing:
Jury, you kin go out, and don't
show your ugly mugs here till you find
a verdict-if you can't get one of your
own, get the one the last jury used"
The jury retired, and after an alb
sence of fifteen minutes, returned with
a verdict of 1'Suicide in the ninth de-
gree and fourth verse"
Then Judge Jonah Joles pronounced
upon Elm Crunch this sentence:-
"Elim Crunch stand up and face the
music. You are found fully of suicide
for stealing. Now this court sentences
you to pay fine of two shillings, to
shave your head with a bagganet, in
the barracks, and if you try to cave in
the heads of any of the jury, you'll
catch thunder, that's all. Your fate
will be warning to others, and in con-
elusion may the Lord have mercy on
your soul. Sheriff, get a pint of red
eye; I'm awful thirsty"

EF We have often heard ladies ex-
press desire to know by what process
the fine gloss observable on new linen,
shirt bosoms, etc., is produced, and in
order to crafty them, we subjoin the
following recipe for making Gum Ara
bic Starch:
TGfe two ounces of fine white gum
arabic powder, put into a pitcher, pour
on it pint or more boiling water (ac-
cording to the degree of stiffness you
desire, and then having covered it, lei
it set all night. In the morning pour ii
carefully from the dregs into clean
bottle, cork it and keep it for use. A
table spoonful of gum water stirred into
pint of starch that has been made in
the usual manner, will give to lawns,
either white or painted, look of new
ness, when nothing else can restore
them, after washing. 1t is also good,
much diluted, for white muslin and bobi,
net.

E The New York Courier & En-
quirer says of the officers of the Will
liam and Mary, with the case of which
our readers are familiar:
The miserable and cowardly wretches
who should have labored at their posts
so long as there was the slightest glim-
mering ray of hope, they, who should
have given strength to the weak, cour-
age to the timid, confidence to the hope
less, to meet and manfully struggle with
the danger that was besetting them,
Ike base, craven-hearted wretches,
secretly seized upon the life-boat, the
only hope and salvation, and left over
two hundred souls to a horrible and
speedy death. If this is human nature,
humanity has sunk low indeed. Deeds
such as these are fit to make every true
man hide his face for shame.

VINEGAR FROM BEETs.-Good vine.
gar is an almost indispensable article in
every family, many Of which purchase
it at a considerable annual expense,
while some use but very Indifferent
article; and others, for want of little
knowledge and less industry, go with
out. 1t is an easy matter, however, to
be at all times supplied with good vine
gar, and that, too, without much ex-
pense. The juice of one bushel Of
sugar beets, worth twenty-five cents,
and which any farmer can raise without
cost; will make from five to six gallons
of vinegar. equal to the best made o.
cider or wine. Crate the beets, having
first washed them, and express the
juice in a cheese press, or in many othel
ways which little ingenuity can sug
gest, and put the liquor into an empty
barrel; cover the bung-hole with gauzt
and set it in the sun, and in twelve ol
fifteen days it will be ready for use.
