they left their champion TO fight while
they patched up a peace on their own
hook. While all this is fresh ia the mem.
ory Of the people Of Augusta, it cannot but
surprise item to see the turn things have
taken independence down and the
Clique risen GU his ruins. 1t can only be

VEGETABLES SHOULD BE COOKED IN SALT
WATER.-It is well known that after pota
toes are boiled and The waller poured from
them, if they are well shaken up, with the
addition of little salt, their flavor is much
improved. Why, we know not. Professor
Bother, German chemist. speaking in
reference to boiling vegetables in water to
which little salt is added, says:
elf one portion of vegetables be boiled
in pure distilled or rainy water, and another
in water to which little salt has been ad-
ded, decided difference is perceptble in
the taste and odor, and especially in the ten
derness of the two portions. Vegetables
boiled in pure water are vastly inferior in
flavor. This inferiority may 60 so far in
case of onions, that they are almost entirely
destitute of odor or taste, though when
cooked in salted water, they possess, in ad.
dition to the pleasant salt taste, peculiar
sweetness and strong aroma. They also
contain more soluble matter than when
cooked in pure water. Water which con.
tains l.420th of its weight of common salt
is far better for cooking vegetables than
pure water, because the sal! hinders the so.
luton and evaporation of the soluble and
Aavoring principles of the vegetables. This
explains the advantage Of the general use
of salt in cooking, and the impossibility of
correcting, by subsequent additions OF salt,

ROSE CULrURE.--If you wish 10 see your
roses do finely, you must, if; The soil is poor,
use plenty Of manure. The rose is a very
rich feeder, and in poor soils in this country
but few Of the best perpetual or monthly
kinds will grow strong enough to flower
more than once, or but poorly after the 6rst
Towering is over. In making new planta:
tons the thing is easy enough; the ground
should be dug deep, eighteen inches at least,
and thoroughly rotten manure worked in
abundantly before planting. Another thing
too is to give them plenty of room to grow.
Iu borders where they are already planted,
work in two or three inchss Of rotten dung
about their roots. taking away some Of the
poor top soil it necessary to make room for
it. Street dirt and manure, well mixed up,
is capital for roses, as they luxuriate in a
gritty soil.
10 secure good flowers from the perpetu-
ais or monlhlies, as soon AS flower is ia
ded, cut it off, and occasionally treat them
to dose of manure.water after midsummer.
This stimulates them into fresh growth and
flower. This, with copious waterings in all
dry spells, will not fail to ensure roses in
abundance.-Countru Gentleman
