A LADY friend sends US the following
tried recipe, and recommends it very high
ly:-
RECIPE FOR SoAP.-Three ounces Of bor-
az, four pounds of common brown soap,
FIVE quarts OF wat9. Cut the soap in :hin
slices; then add all the ingredients, and
put them over the FIRE; stir gently until all
is dissolved; then take it of the FIRE, put it
to cool, and it win become hard. Put the
clothes to soak over night in cold water,
then wiring them out, end soap the places
needed then put them over the fire in cold
water, and if much soiled, boil them thirty
minutes; the cleaner ones need only boil
twenty minutes. In using the water the
cleaner clothes have been boiled in for next
ones, be careful to let it get cold before put
ting it on the clothes. Ii is not necessary to
rub the clothes on board when this soap
is used.

"The above is wholly false. We were

At our State election, to-day, Anson P.
Morrill,, the present Governor, was support
ed by the Fusionists aud Republicans, and
Isaac Reed by the straight out-and-out
Wings, and Sam'l Wells by the Democrats
and opponents Of the Maine Law. We
have returns from 90 towns, giving Morrill,
I4,6I5; Wells 1920; Reed 2.268.
SECOND DIsPATCH-We have returns
from l6O towns which make up as follows:
Morrill,, l2O, $50; Wells, 26,O69; Reed, A.
262. Present indications are favorable to
the success of the anti Republican party
both for Senators and Representatives.
We have received further returns this P.
M., but they do not change the character
of the vote, as stated in the morning pa
pers Morrill, leads the polls, but the vote
for Reed destroys the choice Of the people.
The Liberals have the Senate and House

SeYaStOpOl,

Seventy thousand men have fallen in and
around Sevastopol This is eath-record
gloomy as ever eye rested upon. Yet, If per-
chance we should ever get exact returns, 1t
will 5e found, we fear, that twice, nay three
times that number have perished in the Cri-
mlaa within the last year. The record will
be- gloomier as we post it up. OF the loss
that of Russia is by far the largest.
The ambition of century is exploded,
and the work of half century sacrificed in
the fail of Sevastopol. Czarism made 1t
what it was. and by huge docks and gigantic
fortrcsses, by the creation Of naval force,
resolved TO buttress up its ambition through
its location, and thus grasp undivided do
innion. See what an array of forts Sevas-
topol had on the south or sea side: Quar-
an'tina Battery 81 guns; Fort Alexander Ga,
Fort 80, Fort st. Nicholas lO2, Fort Paul so,
Blttery 20-total 367 guns.
Then on the north side, there were Ft. Con
Stantne lOl, Telegraph Battery II, Double
Range Casemate Batteries l20, other batter
is 60 Double Battery 81, Extreme Eastern
Battery 20-tOtal 335 guns besides the great
Star Fort, with its 200 guns, and with other
works, ensuring play seaward OF some oOU
Guns. Yet now full half, and perhaps all OF
them are siIenced and useless. Then the ma

A FIGHT IN HIGH LIFE.-We lean that a
fight occurred in Richmond, (Mo,) the other
day between Hon. M. Oliver and Gov. King.
They were separated just as the Governor
was in fair way of getting we'll whipped.
The Governor struck the first lick. The quar-
rel occurred in the court room, and origina-
ted in the examination of witnesses. The
Judge fined them fifty dollars each.

The cabinet at Washington is holding ses-

The number of volumes in Mr.. Webster's
library, at Marshfield, is 5000. OF these,
1000 are political, congressional, and diplo
matte; 900 historical; 500 dictionaries,
'cvclopedias, and hand books; 500 works on
agriculture and great number of maps and
guide books. The library is arranged in ca
ses, in the following order: Reference books
poetry and romance, history and biography,
politics. theology and philosophy, law, di-
flomatic and congressional, agriculture and
science, and miscellaneous. These are all in
the mansion library room and the law office
There are | 200 law and congressional books
in the old Winslow house, awaiting better
accommodation. There is not a valueless
book in the whole library, which its late la
mented owner was 40 years in collecting.

BosroN-Boston itself is only little city
of 100000 people, being on an island; but
Boston in fact is about three or four times
as big as this, extending for nine miles in all
directions from this island. From the top
of Bunker Hill Monument it. is all city as
far as you can see each way. The Boston
people live out in a state of Scatterment or
continuous village, on all sides; whittier
the cars take them every evening and when ce
it brings them every morning. Boston itself,
or the gizzard of it, is the twistedest, snarl
eldest place any mortal man was ever in. The
streets are like skein of yarn snarled by
weeks play of young dog assisted by a kit
ten or two-the yarn then being chopped
through in all directions with an axe. Here
are streets only few rods long; others
crooked like an auger screw; others doub-
ling about and finally tapering out at point
1t is in fact only subvarety of a species
of the genus city.

CURING SHEEP SKINS WITH Wool oN.--Take
one teaspoonful of alum and two Of salt pc
ire, pulverize and mix well together, then
sprinkle the powder on the flesh side of the
skin, and lay the two feshy sides togeth
er, leaving the wool outside. Then fold up
the skins as tight as you can and put them
in dry place. In two or three days, as soon
as they are dry, scrape them with blunt
knife till clean and supple. This completes
the process, and it makes a most excellent
cover for saddle. Other skins which you
desire to cure with fur on, may be treated
the same way.
To CURE BALKY HoRsEs.-The practice OF
an English horse dealer, who has cured num-

team behind them and pull them backwards.
1t should be done on smooth fair ground.-

treatment, and will be g lad to go forward It
the word of command. The most stubborn
will yield and be perfectly true and tracta-
Bile after two or three such torturings. The

ed to conquer in single instance, and that
too without the stroke of whip or other
wise maltreating the animals

VOICE OF A FATHER OF THE CoUNTRy.-
James Madison, in the convention which
framed the constitution of the United States,
objected to the word "slave' being used in
the clause which was inserted for the rem
dition of fugitives. His objections were
agreed to by the convention, and the milder
term of persons owing service or labor
applicable alike to white apprentices and
black slaves, was put in our constitution.
Mr.. Madison said on that occasion:
81 object to the word slave appearing in
constitution which, trust, is to be the
charter of freedom to unborn millions
nor would | willingly perpetuate the mem
ory of the fact that slavery ever existed in
our country. 1t is great evil and, under
the Providence of God, look forward to
some scheme of emancipation which shall
free us from it. Do not, therefore, let us ap-
pear as if we regarded it perpetual, by using
in our free constitution an odious word op-
posed to every sentiment of liberty"

To MAKE Coon APPLE JELLY-Takc annIos
of the best quality and good flavor, mot sweet
cut them in quarters or slices, and stew them
till soft then strain out the juice, being very
careful not to let any of the pulp go through
the stralner. Boil it to the consistency of
molasses, then weigh it and add as many pounds
OF crushed sugar, stirring it constantly till the
sugar is dissolved. Add one ouuce of extract
of lemon to every twenty pounds of Jelly, and
when cold set it away in close Jars. 1t will
keep good for years. Those who have not
made jelly in this way will do well to try it ;
they will find it superior to currant Jelly

q half pounds of rice put in IL gallon of water
and stirred till it becomes quite soft, then mix
it (while warm with fourteen pounds of flour,
and at the same time add a tcaSpoonful of salt
and the usual quantity Of yeast. Let it stand
to rise, then make it into loaves and bake it the
usual way. We have found the above quantity
OF flour and rice to make US twenty-eight
pounds of excellent bread, and independent of
the great saving, we like it better than bread
baked in the usual wav.

How TO Produce LARGE FRUrT.-The secret
consists in supporting the fruit, so that they
shall not be allowed to hang their whole weight
upon the stalk, or to twist about in the wind
When the fruit is allowed to hang naturally
upon the stalk, the increasing weight strains
stem or twig, and thus lessons the quantity OF
nutritious food flowing to the fruit. The fruit
may be supported either by tying it to q brancf
with a piece of mating, or by enclosing it in q
small net. Flowers, such as dahlias or peonie:
may also be rendered much larger by the adopt
ion Of this system.
