Glass Preserve Jars.
WITH GROUND GLASS SHOPPERS.

FENHESE JARS are intended for keeping all
u kinds Of Fruit, Vegetables, Meats, Oysters,
in a state of perfect preservation, while at the
same time, their condition may be examined with
out the necessity Of opening.
The advantages Of wide mouthed Glass Jars
with Glass Shoppers ground in over Jars closed
with tin or other metallic stopper or covers, is
apparent, Being of ncorruptible materials they
cannot corrode and faint the contents; while the
smallest quantity OF salt, acid, or fermentation
will dissolve tin or other metal, and tend to poison
all they may contain

THE TARIFF REPORT.

We find in the National latsHiyeacer the fol-
lowing resolutions, which conclude the report OF
the Select Committee, of which Mr.. Boyce was
Chairman. The committee, so we see it stated
elsewhere, say they do not entertain the hope
that they can inaugurate new policy now.
Such radical changes must be the work OF time.
Tbey do not, therefore, look so much to imme-
date practical results as to effect on public
opinion, and thus ultimately insure the triumph
Of the principles they advocate. MIR. Garnett
does not concur in all the conclusions OF the
committee.
The majority report concludes by recommends
ing the passage of the following resolutions:
/. Resolued, That the vast and increasing ex-
penditure of the Federal Government indicates
the necessity of. change in our fiscal system
whereby the protective policy shall be entirely
abandoned, and resort had at as early period
as may be practical exclusively to direct taxa
tion.
.. RESOLVED, That the existing tariff is defec-
tive as being founded on the protective policy,
as taxing certain articles Of prime necessity too
high, as not discriminating sufficiently so as to
throw the burdens of taxation as much as pos
sibe on articles of necessity, and as placing GER
tain articles on. the free;list which should pay
duty and that any modification Of the tariff
which may be made should be made SO as to
avoid these defects, and for the purpose of using
the tariff merely as q fiscal instrumentality.
3. Resolved, That the highest development Of
the industrial resources Of the country is to be
attained by the greatest freedom of exchanges,
which can only be thoroughly accomplished by
the entire abolition of duties on imports and q
resort exclusively to direct taxation.
4. Resolred, That the system of direct taxa
ton presenting the most advantages is for each
State to collect and pay over its quota, to be
ascertained by the constitutional rule OF appor:
tionment, thus insuring perfect equality and
dispensing with multitudes of Federal officers
S. Resolved, That the navigation laws should
be so modified as not to require any portion o1
the officers and crews of American ships to be
| American citizens, and that American citizens
shall be free to purchase and sail foreign built
sbips on on entire equality with American built
sbins, and that the American coasting trade
shall bo open on terms of perfect ealnality tt
foreign ships.

"DINNA FORGET"
Remember, love, you promised,
That In May, the month of flowers,
You'd hasten to our forest home,
To cheer my lonely hours.
I've missed you sadly dearest,
And 1 longed, to have you here,
To feel the warm clasp Of your hand,
Your much-lovcd voice to hear.
In your lig6test touch, there's magic,
In your looks, wondrous spell,
Which, tho binds me willing captive,
Yet your power fain would quell
The music Of your earnest tones,
The sunshine of your smile,
So strangely thrills, my inmost being,
It soothcs and pains the while.
Yes! I've missed you, so much darling,
Since gazed upon your face,
But in Faney's far off wand'rings,
Oft your features dear, I trace.
Come, welcome glad, awaits YOU
From heart, all, all your oirn;
Come, Gull devotion's choicest fow'rs
Which blooms for you alone.
Yes, come-we'll roam the greenwood,
Sylvan dell, and fowery lea,
And list enraptured, to sweet sounds,
Which breathes of lore and thee.
Our throne shall be mossy mound,
Near a gently, murm'ring, stream,
Where Flora's treasures rich and rare,
With balmy cdour tecm.
Spring birds shall swell their liquid notes.
Their joyous greeting sound
All nature, echo welcome" too,
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
The water nymph, and woodland fay,
Their Offering, each shall bring,
And pay thee HOMAGE, whom my heart,
Proclaims its sovereign king.
In sweet converse, Wen pass the time,
And love shall be our theme
The hours that seem so weary now
VIII Danish like dream.
Farewell! I'll ever love you
As the perfumes of the rose
Round the vase, still softly lngers,-
Thus I'll lore thee till life'S close.

F.. GENERAL CAss AND TEArERAScE.-Col: Orr
stated, the other day, that he heard General Cass
say, some years ago, he never had tasted spirits
in bis life. The Colonel, thinking about the ex;
preston, thought perhaps, he had misunderstood
General Cass, and last winter enquired OF him
whether or not he had misunderstood him. The
General assured Col. Orr that he had not misun-
derstood hiK,, that it was true, he had never tas
tel distilled spirits i'll his life, and had not drank
in his Whole life, more than half pint of wine
Here is a temperance man worthy Of his calling,
aud enjoying, in ripe old age, the fruits Of his
temperance-health, strength, visor OF body and
mind. But it is wonder that any one can pass
through life and arrive at the age of seventy-hve
without ever having tasted beverage so unlyer
sal in the country in which he has lived. We
should suppose curiosity would prompt man to
taste a drink which his friends were constantly
indulging in. We should suppose, too, that ac,
cideat might cause man to taste. But General
Cass is not solitary instance of one passing
through life without ever having tasted spirits.
We remember to have heard the late DR.. Thom.
as B. Williams, of Greenvile, say, that he never
had tasted spirits in his life, and that the smell
of it was nauseating to him.-southern Patriot

OUR NAVY.

The Washington States is doing a good service
in bringing to the immediate attention Of Con-
gress and of the country the deplorable condi-
ton of the Navy of the United States.
According to that journal thirty effective
ships of all classes compose the present navy OF
the United States; these are all in commission,
and upon them alone are we to rely for protec-
tion against insult.
Forty-two years ago, in 1916, with Com
merce of about 800 900 tons the United States
had seventy-four vessels in good and effective
condition; in 1858 with Commerce Of 5,OOO,-
900 tons We have but thirty ships Of war in
commission. This number might be increased
to fifty but at great expense and delay.
The British Naval Register, October 1857,
gives list of the British Naval effective force.
That power had then, steam gun-boats and steam
vessels of other classes, 400; sailing vessels of
all classes, 3S2, making the toal effective force
of the British Navy 842 vessels. Of these lO7
are engaged in what is called i" harbor service" "
leaving in active service seven hundred and
thirty-fve vessels Of all classes.
There is the condition Of both navies, and We
feel convinced that Congress viii make some
provision for a proper increase OF the naval
force of the country. If they do not this or
empower the President broadly and fully to
adopt adequate means for the protection OF
American Commerce before they adjourn, their
constituents at home will receive them but
coldly while President Buchanan ought to re-
assemble them for the purpose of inducing them
to do their duty in the premises.-S0mhsam

HoRRID MUEDER.-A most horrible murder
was committed near Searcy, Ark, on Saturday,
the 10th inst. David S. Lewis murdered his
wife father, Wells C. Bowler. The parties were
all from Gordon county, Georgia, and were on
their way to Texas, when the crime was commit
ted. The Searcy Eagle gives the following ac'
count of the affair:
It seems from the statements of the murdered
man wife and his three daughters, that Lewis
had married Bewlcrs daughter, and was drink
ing, worthless scamp. The two had quarrel at
the river and Lewis left the company to proceed
alone. On the next day he overtookthem again,
walked up to the buggy that Bowler and his wife
were in, demanded some of the property and be.
inr refused deliberately shot Bowler with a
large rifle. The ball struck Bewers arm, which
he threw up for protection, about the elbow and
ranged up and through the arm and passed III
to the head below the eye. Bowler fell from the
buggy, and the wretch struck him in the face
with the iron muzzle of the gun. The untortu'
nate man was raised from the ground by his wife
and daughters, groaning in great agony, when
the iicnd deliberately reloaded his rifle, remark
ing, d-n vou, YOU are not dead yet, but YOU shall
die. and walked up within few feet and again
shot him in the back. The wretch has made
his escape. Great efforts were made by our
citizens to take him but without avail.
