The Placer herald., 1856-08-02

The Volcano Ledger, paper heretofore
unattached to any party, has hosted the
names Of the Democratic nominees for the
President and Vice President, and declares
its determination to battle hencetorth for the
Democracy. The editor, in a well written
leader gives his reasons for so doing, from
which we make the following extract
Nov what is the condition of affairs? We have
Mr.. Buchanan presented, supported in every State
of the Union by the united Democracy-a party
national in every respect, party detying every
ism of the day, party equal to every emergency,
party that receives in its embrace every man
who is ready to raise bis voice for the preserva-
ton of the Union and our glorious Constitution, a
party that scorns 10 accept the aid of the faction
ist, but pleads with every good citizen, whether
he has been Whig or Democrat heretofore, to
come forward in this time of trial and rescue the
country from the danger with which it is threat
ened Next we have Mr.. Fillmore, disposed,
doubtless to foster the welfare of the nation; but
in many States, he is almost literally without
party--totaly without party capable of accom-
plshing his elevation to the Presidency. To sup
port him would be madness: for every vote cast
for him only increases the chances of Fremonts
election and all know that the choice OF the latter
he being purely sectional candidate, would even
tuase in the demolition of our Republican fabric.
after due and candid reflection, we can no
etar OF hope for the country save in the Great
Conservative Democratic Party of the Nation; and
La accordance with our convictions of duty as
patriots, We shall render that party and its nom
neee our most cordial and hearty support. We
consider that love Of country and devotion to the
Constitution are paramount to all other consdera-
fions.'

UNPLEASANT BED-FELLows.-Many years
ago, young man, twenty-one years Of age,
and who | will call Daniel, was hired to
work on farm by Mr.. Wallace, man ol
considerable note as a farmer, in Massachu-
sets. Mr.. Wallace had daughter and a
hired girl, both about eighteen years ofage;
and Daniel, being of a steady turn, was not
talkatiye enough to suit their fancy and af-
ter trying various plans and tricks without
success, to-as they said-raise his ideas,
they caught large frog, and put it into
Daniels bed. On going to bed he soon dis
covered the whereabouts of his bed-fellow,
and pitched his frogship out of the window,
and never afterwards betrayed the least sign
Of knowledge in regard to the joke.
About fortnight afterwards, Daniel found
a lot of chestnut burs, nearly as sharp as
thistles, and contrived to deposit nearly hall
a peck in the girls bed and after the girls
went to their room and had time to undress,
he took candle, went to the door, and rat
tied the latch, when the girls put out their
light aud jumped into bed, and such squal-
ling was never heard before. Daniel now
opened the door and stood in it with light
in his hand.
"Dan, torment your picture wish you
were as far beyond the light house as you
are on this side" said Sukey.
"Why, what is the matter have you any
frogs there!" said Dan.
"Dan, ifyou don't shut the door and clear
out | will call Mrs. Wallace" continued
Miss Sukey.
81 will call her myselfifyou wish," said he.
Daniel" said Anna Wallace, "if you
will shut the door and go back to the kitchen,
there will be no more tricks or jokes put up
on you byHs, for six months, at least"
Daniel, thinking he had punished the girls
enough, shut the door and left them. A few
moments after this, Sukey came out to light
her candle.
81 thought you had gone to bed, Sukey."
said Mrs. Wallace.
Sukey made no reply, but looked daggers
at Dan, and quickly returned. After this
scrape the girls put no more jokes or tricks
upon Dan. He was steady, faithful man
saved every dollar of his earnings, and six
years from that time owned a good farm,
married Anna Wallace, and was three years
first selectman Of the town, which he alter
ward represented in the State Legislature.

CABBAGE WITH PoTAToEs.-The Coun'
try Gentleman says that good cabbage may
be obtained from land planted with potatoes
"When the cabbage are large enough to
plant, 90 along with stick and turn over
the haulm lift is in the way, and plant be-
tween each other row of potatoes. AS the
potatoes are dug, level in the soil about the
cabbage, and ii any concentrated manure is
at hand, put handful around each plant
previously. This stirring the soil has ve-
ry beneficial effect on the cabbage, and the
dissimilar nature of the previous crop does
not materially robthe soil"
The same paper strongly recommends q
more extensive cultivation of root crops.
/" If those who have never raised sugar
beets, mangolds, carrots, or other roots for
stock, would put in one quarter ofan acre Of
these plants, or enough to admit of one or
two feelings each day to the COWS milked
during the winter, they would probably re-
alize such decided Improvements both in'the
quantity and quality of their dairy products
as would lead them to higher estimate and
TO more extended culture"

SflisttIImtous SrtitIes,
COurtship Among the Pawnees.

When lover wishes to break the ice, he
comes to her fathers tent, uniDSited and sits
on the corner Of the mat fora considerable time
and then goes away without speaking. This
is the preliminary step, answering perhaps
to the first gentle pressure Of the hand--the
first blushing hesitation in address the first
mutual glance of unders landing. After q
few days the young man returns, wearing
his buffalo robes, with the hair outward and
again he sits down silent in the corner Of
the tent. This is a proposal--a regular
"popping the question:" II the father is
determined TO reject him, Eothing is placed
for him TO sit on, and, no meat is offered
but il he approves the match these rights
of hospitality are observed. Feasts aie then
given BY the respective parties, in order to
obtain the consent Of the relatives. If both
leasts terminate favoraSly in this respect
the young man presents himself once more
before his bride, at the door OF her tent, and
then turns round and walks slowly off toward
his own-she rises and follows him-the
marriage is then complete. II she remains
sitting, it is sign her family decline the
match. All this is done without a word
passing between the intended bride and the
husband that is to be. But the most extra.
ordinary part Of the affair is, that having
married an elder sister, he has a right 10
marry all the younger ones, as they success.
sively attain the age Of womanhood. The
author adds 81 have seen chiefs who have
in this manner married whole family the
eldest wife being the greatest drudge, and the
youngest being generally the fayoTite sultana
and consequently doing the least.

DOUBLE SWEET WILLIAM, CDianthus
barbatus. .)-The Sweet William has bee n
an inhabitant of the flower gardens for cen.
turies, and in the cottage plot, it is still a
favorite. The double varieties, however,
are scarce; they are very beautiful, and
equally sweet-scented with the SINGLE
AS they cannot produce seed (no truly dou-
bic flower can do sQSthe male and female
organs being changed into petals,) it is ne
cessary to increase them by layers this is
readily done, by 'pegging down the side
ehoots, in the summer, after the bloom is
over, making cut in the stem, in the usual
manner of oflayering them then, when fairly
rooted, transplant to where it is wanted.
All this family of plants are remarkable
for their agreeable fragrance, including the
Carnation and Picotee, and the pink, in its
numerous species. They are mostly ma
tives of Europe and Asia. The Sweet Will
liam will grow in any good soil, and is a ma
tive of Germany. All double flowers are
produced by high state of cultivation of
the parent plants, then sowing the seed ri-
pened by them some may then be found
semi.double these have the male organs or
stamens changed to petals; fertalize those
flowers with the pollen, from goodDsingle
varieties, still keeping up the high culture
of both parents, and seed will, in all likel-
hood, be ripened, that will produce double
and semi-double blossoms.-Ohio Farmer.

as he reached out his hand for the stakes.
