with blush cast, or with white specs

QuERY.-If four dogs, asks the
Cairo (IlI.) Gazette, with sixteen legs,
can catch forty rabbits with eighty
seven legs, in forty-four minutes, how
many legs must the same rabbits have
to get away from eight dogs with
thirty-two legs, in seventeen minutes
and ashalf?
SoLUTIoN.-Add together the legs
of the rabbits and the tails of the
dogs, and divide the amount by three
big dogs; this leaves four bushels of
barks, and thirteen pounds of hair
Take the fractions Of the rabbits, add
six inches Of snow, multiply by dog
fight. Then divide by man with a
double barrel shot gun, and add a side
of fresh beef. : Multiply by half as
many legs as three times less NUM-
Der of rabbits would have, and divide
by one third of the time it would take
for the rabbit to get away from the
dogs, less seventeen and a half min,
utes. The result depends upon the
size of the dogs.

Good Advice Ia the Republicans
--EOhu VAN Bnreu'S SneecEs

The Abolition papers profess to be greatly
pleased with John Van Burens late speech
at the Cooper Institute, New York. We,
there fore, inyiIe their attention 10 the fol
lowing extract from it: 80
Now, gentleman, if were President
would not undertake to interfere with free
discussion in the United States. There is
no doubt that what is and what is not
AIR limit for free discussion may be the subs
iect of dispute. But the constitution, in the
first article of the amendment, prohibits
Congress from passing anv law 70 prevent
freedom Of speech When state Conven.
ton authorizes an election it authorizes dis
cuss on. ! believe have given the full st
evidence Of that by discussing all over the
State OF New York he action OF the Presi.
dent and he e different measures Here In
the State Of New York there is no occasion
for 1t | would not undertake to interfere
with free discussion at time when an elec.
tion is pending. When there is no election
pending different rule may prevail. Ia
voice Would you send the WorM TO the
army?1 | would do just as the army chose
in reference to that. II the army like the
World, would let them take it; il they
want the HiDuHs, 1 Woulu iet them tabe
that. But let me tell you that it is entirely
idl 10 undertake to fly in the face OF the
prcjudces of the people. You have your
own proposition, | have mine and Others
theirs No man can look over this s ate
and the States Of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and
Pennsylvania, and not see that from some
cause or other there has been q great reac
ton in opposition to the policy OF the war
and the support Of the President. This is
clear by the canvass. No man can listen to
the returns Of ihe elections that come here
every day from, Troy Utica, Rochester,
Lockport, 0swego and Ithaca, without see-
ing chat, from some cause or other, the reac

To make Lemon LOZeHgeS.

Take one or two whites of eggs, and
beat them with some orange flower
water. Then add as much pulverized
sugar as will make a stiff paste of it.
Introduce all the raspings of lemon
peels. All being well incorporated,
roll it into balls the size of a thimble,
which range on a sheet of paper and
Aatten afterwards as you like; then
put them in the oven to bake. These
are good for the summer complaint.

Rice md SaEO.

Should both have clean, fresh,
white appearance when you purchase.
The rice with the largest whole grains
is the best. Rice is remarkable for
being the richest in STARCH, and most
deficient in oil, of all the cultivated
grains. Old rice is apt to be infested
with weevil. The small white sago
called the pearl sago is the best. The
large, brown kind has an earthly taste.
These articles, and ground rice tapioca,
should be kept in boxes or jars close
ly covered.

Lard--ueN TO Make and Keep
is Sweet:

The lard of hog about year old,
fattened upon corn, and if carefully
rendered and packed in stone pots or
sound oakin frHins, and kept covered
close, will keep in cool cellar just as
long as any farmers wife wants to
keep it. Lard must be thoroughly
cooked in rendering; if not it grows
rancid in warm weather. A cooling
room attached to the ice house is an
excellent place to keep lard in sum-
mer. But no matter where you store
it, if it was not we'll cooked in the
process Of rendering it will not keep
sweet.
