Hon.J John L Bouligny from distinguished and

which, can assure you, gives your numerous
friends here great pleasure
g MIR. B oULIGNY. Under date of the 9th the
Washington correspondent Of the New York
Herald says
The speech Of Mr. Bouligny, Of Louisianan
refusing 80 accede to the request Of his Legis-
ature to withdraw from the House, not only
produced Tremendous sensation at the time
among the members and spectator, but has
wen him the praises Of conservative Unon-oy-
ing men every where, After the House had add
journed Mr.. Crittenden met Mr. Boul gny and.
grasping him with both hands, invoked Gods
blessing upon him, assurin him that however
much he might be cursed now by those who
are disloyal to their country, he iBoulieny)
would outlive them ini the alfectionate memory
Of a glorious Uniou-loviEg, law-abidng people.

the appreciation OF your friends.
f" Our State secession convention has
been in session near a month, and the popular
vote Of the State has never been published. =
1t is now ascertained that the popular vote has
gone Tor the Union or cooperation ticket by
32J majority.
The Convention, as yet, has done no good
but to vote down Slidell and Benjamin, which
was a glorious triumph.
If the vote was to be taken, to-day, in this
State, really think the disuniogiss would be
defeated
:" Stand up for the old Gag, the stars and
stripes. God knows the people here, for fear
of being taken for abolitonists, are afraid to

seen in this city, or among our vessels at the
levee. 1t makes me sad. Every attempt Is be-
ing made, after seyara failures, to get up an
illGmination, which the Mayor and Councilmen

Care Of GrindstOneS The American Apricni.
turist says perhaps there is no farm implement
which is so useful and so little esteemed as the
grindStone. f;t was kept under shelter and
otherwise properly taken care of, one of these
instruments should last almost a mans lifetime
instead of wearing out in few years
No grindstone should be exposed to the
weather as it not only Injuries the wood work,
but the SUMS rays harden the stone so as in
time to render it useless neither should it be
run in water, as the part remaining in the wa
ter Softens SO much that it wears away faster
than on the other side, and many soft place
in stone has arisen from this cause alone, and
not from any inequality in the grit. The prop
or way is to allow water to drop on the stone
as il is needed, either from cast iron water
cup, or what answers very well an old white
lead keg supported by Spite near the bottom,
which can be driven in when not needed, and
ifkept filed with water viii last a long time.
Finally, the stone should not be allowed to get
out OF round, as no tool can be properly ground
unless the stone runs true if it should become
uneven, get some one to turn it, and with
nail rod raze it until it becomes perfectly round.
Greasy rusty tools should be well cleaned
before grinding or they will choke up the grit.
1t this should oceur,a little sharp sand and wa
ter on a board kept against the stone while
turning will clean it off and sharpen up the
grit. ti

TuO simple RuieS ia Cheese Makin6-ist I'd
ascertain how much cheese you ought to pet
from your mills. Multiply the number of
pounds OF milk by eleven; point off two figures
for deciInals, and the product is pounds and
decunais of pound OF cheese direct from the
press.
Example 495 lbs of milk; how many
pounds of cheese ought it to get? 495XII-
"a 40 or 81 45-l00 pounds.
His rule applies 10 summer In October
you may safely make your cheese little heav-
Ter from the same milk, or perhaps the October
milk has little more cheese in it The rule
Is founded Oh experience OF course this green
cheese must lose good deal in curing, since both
butter and casino constitute bat about per
cent of milk. TEE esee-
2nd, for ascertaining the quantity Of salt for
cheese Multiply the number of pounds Of milk
by three point off three places for decimals-
Your answer is in pounds and decimals of
pound.
Example. much sal for the cure of 492
lbs milk? 395X3 equals 1856 or oGe pound
and 385-IG00 of pound. Now reduce this dec
imal TO ounces by multiplying by sixteen; point
off three decimals as before. Your answer is
3S5Kl6 equals l6J-100 or enc Ib. l-16 or,
is the amount of salt required for the cheese of
495 lbs milk.

An old ch}Boater Tor rag picker died in Paris
IN Il state OF AFFECT poverty. His only relation
was a niece, who lived as a niece with green

far as her means would permit. When she

jOurneyman bageT, to whom she hab been lone

Suzette had not yet bought her wedding
clothes. She hastened to tell her lover that
the welding must be deferred she wanted the
price OF her bridal fnery TO lay her uncle de-
Gently in the grave. Her mistress ridiculed 1.-THE
idea, and c4horted her to leave the old man to
be buried by charity. Suzette refused. The
consequence was quarrel, in which the
young woman lost her place and her lover
who sided with her mistress She. fastened
TO the miserable garnet where her uncle had
expired, and by the sacrifice not only of The
money Tor her wedding attire, but nearly all
the rest of her slender wardrobe, she had the
old man decently inferred. Her pious task full

"But everybody viii laugh at you for marrying

Suzette hesitated no longer, but she wished to

The old man was so fond of the animal, that he
determined that even death should not separate
them for he had had her stuffed, and placed
her on the tester of his bed. AS Suzette took
down puss, she uttered an exclamation ofsur-
prise at finding it so heavy. The lover hast
ened to open the animal, when out fell show

miser had starved himself TO amass became the

Weighing and Measuring Hay,-W JPatch,
of I1oga Co., n. Y, writes as follows to the
Country Gentleman,
have twice tried the experiment of meas
unng and weighing hay and am satisfied that
no certain rule can be given unless the quanti-
ty, quality, and depth of NOV are taken into
account. One NOW of hay which tried, was
mixture of clover and timothy, nearly half and
half,but it was rather coarse hay. The
bay was l8 by 90 feet deep, and the hay was
10 feet in depth. The balance of the NOW was
unoccupied. This was offered to me for 10 tons
calling feet square or Sig feet ton l divi-
ded the NOW in the centre and weighed half of
it, AID it weighed three tons and 1900 lbs. be-
ing almost $50 feet for ton. The next was a
NOW offine hay, green enough to mow-burn
some. The bay was filed to the root, and af-
forwards covered with oats in the bundle. The
posts were IL feet, and the bay 16 by Is feet
square. After taking out about half the depth
of the mow,and finding it very solid we agreed
to cut with the hay knife in square form and
weigh, and both parties should abide by the
rule established thereby. We weighed out O..
GOO lbs, and measured the square from which
it was taken, and it was 8 by 8 feet or 512 feet
for ton, and accepted the NOW by that rule,
and 1 am satisfied that none but fine hay and
that closely pressed viii make a ton in 8 feet
square.
