ON AN ENTIRELY ORIGINAL PRINCIPLE:
Yin this valuable invention we do away with all
the objections ever made to the elevated Oven
Stove, The pipehue is placed in front Of the oven
in fact forming part of the oven ITSELF and by
this means we are enabled to regulate the baking
more perfectly than in any other stove which was
ever made We have but one damper to It,
which has three wings never liable to get out oil
order, and is patented. BY turning the damper
one way we force all the heat and flame under and
up in the back of the oven over the top, and thence
down IN front, until it enters into the tue and
passes OF the curvature in the bottom OF the oven
which requires the heat to descend, aud hugs the
oven during the circuit. Reversing the same
damper, We totally exclude the entire heat from
the oven, it all passing into the fue direct without
even reaching the oven. This simple and beauti-
full arrangement needs we are certain, no further
Recommendation from us. The pipe being thus
located the stove can be set close to the wall or
side of the ROOM with small zinck or timed
board hung the wall; the pipe being so far from
the wall not to inure it; the stove, so set, will
occupy less room than ordinary square or dividing

Remarkable Case of CiTCumStan-
li;al Evidence.


A case of considerable interest has occur.
red in Monroe county, Arkansas, which
show how strong u chain OF circumstances
can arise against an innocent person. Two
men, named Passmore and Lewis, had RATS
contiguous to each other, in White River
An oar escaped from the raft of P. and lodg.
ed in the neighborhood Of that of L., who
secured it. The former had the latter ar
rested for stealing it, but he was acquitted
Very naturally l.. gave vent TO some hard
words against P. The latter did not resent
them, but vowed his intention to give L. "a
hot bed in hell before three days." A short
time after, Paesmore was seen going in
canoe toward LIS raft, armed with double
bari elled shot gun and bowie knife. When
about sufficient time had elapsed for P. te
reach LIS raft, two discharges Of aSgur
were heard. Next day Lewis was to deliver
his raft at mill in Clarendon, close by; bu
as he did not do so, suspicious of something
wrsng were excited, and q number of per
sons went to where the raft had been, but i
was gone, and no traces of any body con
necied with it, could be found. Some week.
after this period, man going up the river
found in some drift wood body, whose size
and dress answered the description OF Lewis
The body had in it buck-shot holes an
stabs. Passmore was arrested and held ir
o heavy bail. Shortly after this, the steam
er Sam Hale arrived in Clarendon; and th
pilot, Bateman, and the Captain, Dougherty
cleared Passmore of ell suspicion by testi
flying that they had seen Lewis at Napoleon
three weeks after the occurrence, and tha
the boat had paid him money that it had bee
owing him. Passmore, was of course, dis
charged.

TOmatOes-SuppOrtiRg and Short
" ching.

Few gardens are now found unsupplied
with tomatoes, but very few persons take
pains to cultivate them. The vines are usu
ally left to straggle ad labitum. This is both
bad economy and bad taste, 1ftomatoes are
planted in rows, convenient plan is TO put
up stakes on both sides of each rev, and
nail on horizontal strips or stats to keep the
vines perpendicular. They may be carried
up to the height of from three TO FIVE feet
By this means the vines will show much
better, especially when covered with ripen-
ed fruit clustering thickly upon the Sides
The fruit itself will be much superior to
that mutured on the ground and in the shade
Strong twine or wires may be substituted
for the horizontal stats. A cheaper process
of supporting tomatoes is to bush them, IN
the same manner that beans and peus are
treated. Our swn tomatoes are planted
around the border Of the garden, and trained
upon the fence, the vines being upheld BY
strips of leather, doubled around the stalks,
and iustened to the fence with small nails.
Tomatoes are also benefited by shortening
in. Three fourth of the mature fruit is pro.
duced upon a small part of the vine nearest
to the root, say one.third or one fourth of its
length. 1t is recommended to stop the fur
ther development of vines after iair supply
Of fruit it set. by clipping off the vines grow.
ing beyond. The clipping should not be
carried too far, as supply OF foliageis re.
quired to gather from the air. One ol
the most successful Cultivators of our &C.
qaintance made it rule to let no vine ex.
tend beyond four feet from its root.-Ameri

The Rig hit Of Search Question.

The Right Of Search Question.
In sn able article the Philadelphia Press
says:
1t is high time that the miserable race OF
brigands who have infested the waters of the
Gulf, and who by the shameless prostitution
of our flag to their unboly purposes, have in
flicted en- almost indelible stigma upon our
national character, should be utterly extir-
pated. Indifference on the part of the
American Government in such case is
equivalent to granting positive immunity to
crime; it is even more-it is offering pre-
MUM for the violation Of laws held sacred by
every nston in Christendom.
We. believe TINT the course taken by the
Administration has been emineDtly wise and
patriotic, and, in the demands made upon
England, Lo,hing has been claimed that was
not strictly just. The REIMBURSEMENT of the
right Of search was absolutely necessary to
place both Governments upon fair and
equal footing. To allow questionable and
necessarily dangerous power 10 be exercised
in regard TO our mercantile marine by bny
foreign Government is tuntGmount to con-
iession OF our interiory in the scale OF na.
tiODs.
p But victory won by diplomacy, however
lettering to our pride, will add nothing to oul
reputation until we have shown ourselves
worthy to enjoy it. In order to furnish sub.
ttsRtial evidence en- this point, there should
be active measures pre- mptIy taken to punish
the slightest abuse of cur flag. We think
that the highest considerations of respect fol-
ourselves, and regard for the opinion OF the
civilized world, point to the duty Of main-
taiIiLg squadron on the coast of Cuba,
with instructions to visit and exsmine oil
vessels using American colors. Let this be
done thoroughly and effectuOlly, and the dis.
continuance of the slave trEde will cease to
be regarded as an impossible problem. So
room as the active agents and secret abet.
tors of the abominable trufc find their lives
endangered aud their profits problematicaI,
they will be ready to abandon their enter.
PRISE: Even the partial attainm ents of so
bcHefcent result would reflect honor upon
an Administration, and must tend immedi.
ately TO relieve the country from the sus.
Iiclon Of completely with crime.
