equaling it has ever been seen in this portion
of the State-certainly not in Pauldine.

Mr. ETHERIDGE's CURRENCY BILL.-The
Committee on commerce of the Federal House
of Representatives has had referred to it an
important bill, introduced by Mr.. Etheridge,
of Tennessee, the object of which is to estab-
hsh and regulate paper circulation of uni
form value throughout the United States. 1t
provides that the United States Sub Treasu-
rers or Treasurers ofthe mint and its branches
shall receive deposits in gold or silver, bullion
or gold, and give the depOsiters certificates
therefor, in sums of from twenty to one thou
sand dollars. These certificates are to resem-
Bile bank notes, to be signed by the Secretary
of the Treasury, or some one appointed for
that purpose in his name, and countersigned
by the officers receiving the deposits for which
they are to be EXCHANGED. These certificates
are to be transferable by delivery, and to be
received in payment of all dues to the United
States, and re-issued in liquidation of Govern
ment debts, if the creditor is willing. The
Secretary of the Treasury may authorize such
collectors of revenue as he may designate to
receive deposits Of silver and gold, and issue
the certificates, the Secretary determining the
place of payment of these collectors certifi-
Gates, but all others are to be made payable at
the place Of issuance. There are other details,
guards, and checks in the bill but these are
the general features.

The Lemon Slave Case.

We last week spoke of the efforts of the
Republican party to stave off decision of this
case by the Court of Appeals as at present
constituted, for political reasons, and expressed
the opinion, derived, as we believed, from re-
liable authority, that the case would be deci-
ded in favor of the plaintiff. The Express al
luded to our remarks opprovingly, and gave
some excellent reasons why the case should
be thus decided. We have since learned, and
we fear too truly, that majority of the Court
will decide the question involved against the
claims of Mr.. Lemon. The effect of such de-
cision will be that no Southern lady or gen.
tleman can bring servant with them when
travelling in or through our State, or through
the waters even of the bay of New York,
without being deprived of their service, and
they being run off to Canada on the under
ground railroad with impunity. If this is the
position our Judiciary is to assume, the SOON
er we know it the better. Ifthey ignore that
article of the Constitution of the United States
which guarantees the rights of the citizens of
other States while passing through it, of what
use is the Union of the States ?

The Right Time TO Cut ASpar
sGEYl.

Mr.. EDITOR Every lover of ASpar-
agus must deprccate the course pursued
by most persons, and market gardeners
in particular, in regard to the time of cut
ting this delicious vegetable. For many
years my impressions were that the whittier
and better bleached the stalks, the finer
would be the flavor. Besides this, the
delicate appearance OF well bleached
bunch Qf asparagus, almost naturally con
veys the idea of tenderness and juiciuess.
Now this is all mistake, as any person
may prove by a single experiment. My
plan is never to cut asparagus until, BY
exposure to the atmosphere, the stalks
have become green over the greater por-
tion of their length The white or bleach
ed part is generally fibrous or woody and
tasteless. | know Of no more unpleasant
sight at table than that of a person draw
ing tough asparagus through his teeth,
sucking off such parts as may be tender,
and leaving the uneatable parts on or be-
side his plate. This may all be remedied,
by little precaation in regard to the
time of cutting. To have asparagus in
full flavor, tender and juicy, it must be
cut when the stalks are just sufficiently
greeped to break off short, like a snap
short bean. When the crowns have ex-

che seed comes up, but it is liable to be

uselessly thrown away. A much better

Cows CAN NOT HOLD BACK THEIR

says COW cannot exercise any control
over her lacteal organs, and gives this as
the reason The muscular tissues which
compose the parts directly in the region
of the Iacteal duct, or milk channel, are

of the muscles which guard the outlet of
