THOSE FOREIGN SHRMENTs.--We some time ago
begged the State authorities to detan certain British
vessels that were taking cargoes from North Carolina
ports under British CoLors We felt conscious and an
expressed that these cargoes composed of articles of
which our enemies stood greatly in need would find their
way to northern ports, and learn that our predc-
lions then made are being verified One of the carpoes
we are informed is already safely landed at Philadelphia,
where OF course the shippers knew it was to go and
another of the vessels has arrived at Halifax or
other English port for orders OF course the orders
were arranged beforehand and this cargo too will find
Its way to Yankee port We believe with the Viii
mington Journal that we should have thorough bust
ness or none and we do hope that the Legislature
North Carolina will do nothing to punish this species
OF treason the Congress WILL.

Curious PhcnOmen

GLOW is it you raise so nice and larg,
onions|" | asked of an Iowa farmer, as
was sitting at the table with him, and OBJ
serving some on the table.
"Well," said he, "we sprout the seet
with boiling water, and then plant early
and in good ground"
"Sprout the seed in boiling water?'
said inquiringly. "What do yon mean
sir, by that. Won't boiling water kill
the seed?"
"Not at ALL" he replied. "but it will
sprout them in one minutes time"
ut will! 1t looks incredible!" re.
piled with surprise.
"Well. you try it," he replied grin.
ningly, "when the time comes to plant
and you'll find it just as l tell you.'
And sure enough when spring came,
and my neighbor was about planting his
onion seed, and being present, said.
"Jewell, last winter there was a man
told me in Iowa, chat to pour boiling wa.
ter on black onion seed would sprout
them in one minute. Suppose you try
it |"
Every well" said he. And taking the
tea-kettle boiling from the stove, he
poured the water thus boiling on the seed
which he had in the tea-sau Looking
closely at it for moment he exclaimed,
my conscience you have told me right
ly. Only look therel"
l looked, and behold. the little sprouts
about as largo as horse hairs were shoot
ing out Of the ends of the seed He did
not retain the water on the seed above
three seconds. and in less than one.halt
minute after it was poured off, the sprouts
were projecting from the seeds.
My Iowa friend assured me that this
process would advance the growth of the
onions from two to three weeks beyond
the ordinary method of planting without
sprouting. Try it gardeners aud farmers
as much may be gained by it.

The Hero Lincoln,

The second Gen. jackson that was to
be, has been showing some poor traits for
a Hero. He left his home in Springfield
with the sound of trumpets in advance,
that the Hero President was on his
'aoinding sooy' for the White House
ovations that never President received
since the days of Washington were pre-.
pared for him-Legislatve bodies of va
rious States impressed with bis greatness
and military prowess in embryo, received
him in their Halls in blaze of glory and
adulation and at every step the conquer.
ing Hero that was soon to take the place
of the "tmJecile President" Buchanan, as
they called him, was worshipped with
the ardor they were wont to give their
African Brother. He was heralded from
station to station, from town to town,
and from city to city, that he might re-
ceive their speeches innumer-
able and often silly in the extreme, were
made in response, and when inflated to
the utmost tention with greatness as a
statesman, and military glory as the in
tended conquering Chieftain of "South-
ern rebels" and "traitors" his hero;sn,
suddenly oozed out, when he saw the
"Blue bonnets over the Border" and
Disgusting himself in Scotch plaid and
long-tailed blue, like Old Grimes call
buttoned down before" made precipi-
tate flight to Washington in the night,
leaving his wife to brave the dangers he
had flown to escape. But the "scare"
having subsided, and his nerves calmed,
the Hero was again conspicuous in his
1naugural-he would passes the forts,
take and hold them, collect the revenue
in the seeded states, and mako divers
heroic demonstrations in the rcbellious
South; but like his Harrisburgh and Balti-
more fight, his knees have again given
way,-instead Of holding Fort Sumter,
which was handed over to him by Pres
ident Buchanan, he is calling Cabinet
meetings to have Maj. Anderson give it
over to the TRAITORS" "rebels" and
"thieves"-the common appellations of
Black Republican papers to our southern
neighbors-and rumor from Washington
says that the Southern Commissioners
ars assured that they have further re-
spite of SIXTY days, and perhaps some
days grace after that. And while we are
gratifed to see the peace policy prevail,
it is amusing to see the twistings and
contortions of the Abolition fre-eater to
excuse this entire change of their pro-
gramme in subduing the South, holding
forts and arsenals and collecting the reve-
nue.. If according to these aoar Republi-
cans, Buchanan should have been hung
as a traitor, for not hanging Davis, Keitt
and other Southern "rebels," what will
they do with the bravo Scotch General,
Lincoln, now that he don't hang the
Southern rebel commissioners, and blow
Charleston, Pensacola and SO on up?-
We think the most likely blowing-up will
be the Republican party l-Aansfeld

washing Fluids.

If there is one thing pride myself up
on in the housekeeping line, it is being
able to do a big washing with little trou-
BILE, and while articles innumerable are
appearing in the papers on that weekly
important subject, l would add my mite
to ease the common lot.
Washing is hard work at best, but the
labor may be much lessened by always
putting the clothes in soak over night, in
cool rain water. Wiring them in the
morning and prepare them for rubbing;
put tablespoonful Of pulverized borax
into your hot water. immerso the clothes
and let them remain half an hour, then
rub them upon the washboard. Ifyou
have girls or boys that have leisure, a
pounding barrel is great advantage, or
even husband may give turn, if he has
nothing else to do. Rub or pound
thoroughly, and you need not boil your
common white clothes. They must be
very thoroughly rinsed also.
The people Of the tropics never boil
clothes, and they are capital washers. If
our lady friends think borax too expen-
sive. we will give them cheaper rule
next week. but we would advise them to
count the cost Of time. toll, wood. soap,
etc. before they cry out against this ex-
cellent and safe article for easing their
labor. Half the soap will be saved aud
with one half tho labor. 1t is equally
good for colored clothes and fannels.
and makes 6ne muslins rs white as new,
with little or no rubbing Votes.

The Little Quakcress who was
Desperately i'm Love.

An amusing matrimonial story is told
of the olden time in New England. 1t so
fell out that two young people become
very much smitten with each other, as
young people do. The young woman's
father was a wealthy Quaker--the young
man was respectable. The father could
stand no such union, and resolutely op-
posed, and the daughter dare not disobey,
openly. She "met him by moonlight"
when she pretended never to see him
and she pined and wasted in spite of her
self. She was really in love--a state Of
sighs and tears which women oftener
reach in imagination than reality. Still
the father remained inexorable.
Time passed on, and the rose on Mary's
cheek passed off, She let no conceal
ment, like worm in the bud, prey on
that damask cheek, however. but when
her father asked her why she pined, she
always told him. The old gentleman was
widower, and he loved his daughter
dearly. Had it been widowed mother
who had Mary in charge widows pride
would have given way before the impor-
tunities of daughter. Men are not,
however, stubborn in such matters, and
when the father saw that his daughters s
heart was really set upon the match, he
apprised her one day by breathing out:
MARY, rather than NOPE to death,
thee had better marry as soon as thee
chooses, and whom thee pleases."
And then what did Mary? Wait till
the birds of the change, or until her faith
er had time to change his mind again?-
Not bit of it. She clapped her neat
plain bonnet on her head and walked as
directly to the house of her intended, as
the street would carry her. She walked
into the house without knocking--for
knocking was not then fashionable-an
she found the family just sitting down to
dinner.
Some little commotion was exhibited
at SO unexpected and so unusual an appar-
ition as the heiress in the widows cottage,
but she needed it not. John looked up
inquiringly. She walked directly up to
him and putboth his hands into hers.
"John." she said. "father says l may
have thee"
And John got up directly from his din
ner-table, and went to the parson's--in
just twenty-five minutes they were man
and wife.

1t may not be generally known that the
latter portion of the life of the murderer

horrible of horrors. Two years he passed
in sleepless nights, with rooms lighted

unwilling to have for moment leave his

starts in moans and groans and tears and

"Swi glass schnapps and swi glass beer,
No such ding as temperance here"

FREAK OF NATURE.-A story is told Of
an apple tree planted over the grave of
Roger Williams to this effect: The tree had
pushed downward one of its main roots
in sloping direction, and nearly straight
course, toward the precise spot that had
been occupied by the skull of Roger Will
liams; there making a turn conforming
with its circumference, the root followed
the direction from the backbone to the
hips and thence divided into two branches
each one following the leg-bone to the
heel, where they both turned upward to
the extremities Of the toes ofthe skeleton.
One of the roots formed curve at the
part occupied by the knee Joint. thus
producing an increased semblsnce to the
outlines Of the skeleton, as if, indeed,
mol led thereto by the powers of vegeta
bic life. This singularly formed root has
been carefully preserved, as constituting
very impressive exemplihcation OF the
mode in which the contents Of the grave
had been entirely absorbed.

From the Canal Dover Times.

We were considerably amused by an
adventure which occurred in this place,
on Monday last. Ayoung German shoe
maker was arrested on a charge of being
rather too intimate with certain lady
named in the writ, aud brought before
Justice Newburgh for hearing. The
transformation of Dulcina was too appar-
ent to be questioned, neither could Le-
thario deny oil knowledge of the cause,
but not anticipating any such proceed
ing, was greatly astonished and not a lit
tie frightened when arrested, and entered
the Court with the significant query:
"Vat in dunder voter you want nit
me here?"
Being informed of the nature of the
young lady's complaint, and the conse-
quencesto himself, he exhibited consider
able perplexity. and after taking advice,
knowing his inability to give bail for his
appearance at Court, and not wishing to
go to Jail, concluded to seize the only re-
naming horn of the dlema and marry,
so approaching his Dulcina he exclaimed
"Here give myself away,
'lis all dat l can do!'
A messenger was then dispatched to the
Probate Court fol license, and soon the
pair was united in the "holy bonds Of
mattimony." and went on their way re-
joicing, leaving the lady's attorney minus
a-fee.
Lothario then took his lady to the Ho-
tel, and he adjourned to the grocery
where he was enjoying himself to the
tune of
"Swi glass schnapps and swi glass beer,
No such ding rs temperance here"
Some of his friends seeing him here,
and knowing the forlorn condition of the
lady love, humanely concluded that this
would not do, and taking the young man
into custody marched him towards his
lady's room, he all the time pulling back,
with the obstinance of one of those long
cared animals. The nearer he approach
ed the door the more he pulled back, but
was finally put into the room, when we
leave them with the wish that,
"May their night be full of pleasure,
And their days devoid of care"
