Louis for being q negro in the State without a
license, stated that his father was a negro, but
his mother was white woman, and the owner
of his father, in Virginia. He insisted that he
should be considered as following the condition
of his mother, and as therefore white man in
the eye of the law. The annual assessment in
st. Louis shows that there are in that city 929
slaves, valued at $456,O55. A slave boy and
his wife, from Mississippi, were followed to
Chicago the other day, reward of 500 having
been offered for their recovery but while the
slave catchers were watching the house where
they stopped, they were taken out the back
door, and forwarded by express to Canada.
A colored man named William Brodie, of the
barque Overman, of New FORK, who was convict
ed some time since in Darien, Ga, of attempt
ing to inveigle slaves, was last week hired out
for sixty.6ve years, to James B. Stripping, of
Tatnal county, Georgia, for 1858, the amount
of fine and costs of suit.

IMPORTANT HINT IN WASHING CLOTHES.
Tho Anaerican 1gricwturolist asserts
that the great secret of the success of nine
out Of ten Of the washing fluids, mixtures,
and machines which have hccn sold over the
country tor many years past, is not owing
SO much to the inherent qualities of the ar
ticle themselves as to The process of soaking,
which they invariably recommend. Ifpoo-
ple pursuing tho oil fashioned system Of
washing will simply take the precaution to
throw all tho clothing TO ba washed into
water ten or fifteen hours before beginning
operations, they will find half the labor Of
rubbing saved in most cases. Water is Of
itself great solvent, even of the oily ma
terials that collect upon the clothing worn
10 contact with tho body, but time is re-
quired to effect tho solution. Every ono is
aware ofthe effect Of keeping the hands OF
feet moist for few hours-lhe entire cx
tcrnal coating of secretion is dissolved
Tho same effect is produced by soaking fol
afew hours clothes soiled by the cxcrctory
matter Of the skin.

Our RECEIPT FOR CURING BEEF AND
PoRK.-This receipt, which originated with
US, and has now had many years of trial,
we believe to be unsurpassed as pickle
Nearly all the modern receipts which have
appeared 10 the different agricultural journ-
ais, and worth anything, partake, in some
instances, almost idontically OF the ingrsd-
ents and proportions set forth in ours, which
we first printed somo fifteen or eighteen
years ugo. Some Of the receipts lately pub
lshed, require large amount of labor, and
are not to bo recommended. At this peri
od in the season, when farmers and others
will soon be putting down their winters,
and We may add their next years supply of
meat, it may be of service to republish the
receipt, which is rs follows:-To one gallon
of water, take II lbs. of salt, J lb. brown
sugar, J OF. saltpctcr, ! OF. potash. In this
ratio the pickle to be increased to any guam
tity desired
Let thcso be boiled together until all the
dirt from the salt and sugar rises to the top
and is skinned off. Then throw the pickle
into large tub to cool, and when cold,
pour it over your beef or pork, to remain
the usaa! time, say from four to six weeks,
according to tho size of the pieces, and the
kind of meat. The meat must be well COW
cred with the pickle, and il should rot bo
put downfor at least two days after killing,
during which timo it should be slightly
sprinkied with powdered saltpeter.
Several Of our friends havo omitted the
boiling of the pickle, and found it to answer
equally as well. 1t will not, however, an
swer quite 50 well. BY boiling the pickle,
it is purifed-for the amount of dirt which
is thrown off by the operation, from the
salt and sugar, is surprising Germantowa

And bow his head before the weather,

County.
have been looking for somo reports of
tho experiments that have been mado in
the cultivation Of the Chinese Sugar Cane
in this county, but up TO tho present time,
have seen nothing. Something has been
done in this township in the way Of testing
the matter, whether or not it is profitable,
or possible to make it business that will
pay. Some of my ncighbors have tried
them after to their own satisfaction, and
tho result of some of them, l now send YOU.
There are several others that have tried the
experiment, but | have not had time to
look up the figures.
l.. GROVER planted five rods Of ground,
two feet each way in hills; ground Il whom
fit, and the yield was Is gallons Of nice mo-
lasses.
WM PATTEN planted nine rods of ground
3x4 feet apart; ground it at tho same mill,
which yielded 10 gallons of very thick mo-
lasscs-almost equal to strained honey
The yield Of Others has been equally as
great. At the above rate, ever 400 gallons
of good molasses can be produced from an
acre of ground, which if worth so cents
per gallon, would amount 10 over 5000.
The machinery used is very imperfect,
and with it, it is impossible to express all
the juice. 1t consists of two wood upright
rollers, such as is often used in the grinding
Of apples for cider and worked with horse
power. The juice was boiled down in an
iron kettle, set in an arch. When it is
considered that an aero can be raised as
easily as an acre of corn, and the cost no
more 10 harvest, it is for farmers to say
whether they will raise their own sweets or
depend upon the merchant for their sup
plies. A word to the wise is sufficient
Hoping to hear from others through tho
Blade, remain firm believer in the profit

THE FAULTS OF PARTIES.

The Opposition and so called Democrat
ic parties have each glaring fault, SO
prominent that no one can we'll mistake it.
With the opposition this fault consists in a
bank mania, which almost invariably char
acterizes every administration that gets in
to power, either by re-chartering unstable
old banks or suffering new charters to get
into operation that never ought to have
been granted. This was the great fault of
Pollock's governorship--for although as a
general thing his official acts were commen-
dable, yet we have no doubt in our mind
some severe losses will result to the people
by the ultimate failure of some the institu-
tons which he suffered to become laws,
when prompt exercise Of the veto power
ought to have arrested their progress BY
this we do not mean to say that the oppc-
siton is composed exclusively of bank ad-
vocates, for it numbers many members (our-
selves among the number) who are utterly
opposed to the present system of bank char
ters, but that the policy or interest Of the
leaders has led them into such course
when in power.
With the Democratic party the great
fault Is, that it is in measure subserYient
to the liquor interest, just about i'll the
same degree as the opposition is to banks
In its ranks are many active and leading
temperance men, who strive earnestly for
the right, but whenever the test comes the
liquor interest is sure TO rule among the
powers that be, from the Governor down TO
the most obscure member of the Legisla-
ture Thus, at the present time, when we
have good laws that but needed moral cour-
age on the part Of temperance men to rem
der them effective, we have the singular
spectacle presented at Harrisburg of ret
rograde movement by democratic legisla-
ture, under the plea of revenue, which will
make the sale Of all the vile compounds
now manufactured almost general thing
Less than prophet can foretell that for
every dollar the state will derive from this
source, the taxpayers will III few years
have to pay ten in the shape of poor tax
es.
Both the above may not be very palata-
bic truths to politicians, but they are nev-
ertheless truths, and as such entitled to the
serious consideration of all good citizens.
The second one is undoubtedly a great evil,
constantly kept before the public by daily
evidences of degradation and shame, but
could we look into all the minutie of the
distress brought about by bank failures,
the former is not less so, save that it is not
so general.
