G@z Mrs. Kirkland has w

g&. Mrs. Kirkland has very tru-
y said that woman is never really
and healthily happy, without house
hold cares. But to perform house
work is too frequently considered der
grading. Even where the mother,
in obedience to the tradition of her
youth condescends to labor occasion
ally, the daughters are brought up in
perfect idleness, take no bodily exer-
else except that of walking in fine
weather, or riding in cushioned carria-
ges, or dancing at u party. Those,
in short, who can afford servants, con-
not demean themselves, as they think,
by domestic labors. The result is
too frequently, that ladies of this
class lose what little health they star
ted life with, becoming feeble in just
about the proportion they become
fashionable. In this neglect of house.
hold cares, American ladies stand
alone. A German lady, no matter
how elevated her rank, never forgets
that domestic labors conduce to the
health of mind and body alike. An
English lady, whatever may be her
position in society, does not neglect
the affairs of her houshold, and even
though she may have housekeeper,
devotes portion of time to this, her
trust and happiest sphere. A con-
trary course to this, results in las
situde of mind often as fatal to health,
as the. neglect of bodily exercise.
The wife who leaves her household
cares to the domestics generally pays
the penalty which has besn affixed to
idleness since the foundation of the
world, and it either wits away from
sheer ennui, or is driven into all sorts
of fashionable follies to find employ
ment for her mind. Ifhousehold cares
were more generally attended to by
ladies of the family, there would be
comparatively little backbiting, gos-
sipping, envy and.other kindred sins,
and women in good society would be
much happier and much more truly
good.-Farn,er and Gardener.

The MAGNITUDE OF THE ISSUE. =
Gov. Brown, of Georgia, issued proc
lamation to the people ofthat State on the
9th of July. which shows the appreciation
which the authorities in that quarter have
of the situation. He fully and freely ad-
mits that the destruction of Johnston S
army would throw open to us all the Gull
States, and consummate the Confederate
ruin. May God grant that this shall be
the speedy result. The promise, so far is
good-Pits Com.

Jackson on Snecnlation,


just before President jackson retired
from the Presidency, he told Hon. James
Guthrie of his characteristic method of
dealing with men who undertook to deal
improperly with the exigencies of their
country. Contractors followed General
Jackson's army far into the Indian
country, and when they began to suffer for
provisions, some of these dealers began to
ask fabulous prices for their provisions.
jackson was at length informed of their
extortionate demand, and he summoned
them before him, and attempted an ap-
peal to their patriotism. He found that
soil perfectly sterile. At length he or
dered body of officers to appraise the
goods, and allowed the owners a liberal
profit, and then he showed the owners
the appraisement. lie offered to take
their provisions at this appraisement
They refused to sell, and jackson, deter
mined that his soldiers should not starve
ordered the rations to be distributed, and
faithful account to be kept
As soon as the owners saw their provi-
sions disappearing they waited upon Gen.
jackson and agreed to accept his terms
Every thing went on until he offered in
payment United States Treasury notes.
They refused to take them, and demand
ed gold. jackson reasoned with them un-
til he found they were inexorable in. their
demand. He then ordered file of sold
eirs to be detailed, two of them with axes
to place the unpatriotic owners on the
fatboats on which their goods had
been stored General Jackson said that
after he had placed them on the boats, he
made what he told them was his last APP
peal and at the last moment they con-
sented to take the treasury notes. He
pause at this part of the statement, until
Mr. Guthrie asked ham VI hat he intended
to do in case of persistent refusal The
old patriot that he "would have ordered
the two soldiers armed with axes to cut
the cables, and the fellows on board might
have foated to hell or Texas, he would
not have cared which" lie said" man
who would not trust his country when
engaged in war, was not fit to live. -

A nsecretn in Potato Planting,

A correspondent sends the follow
ing to the Raval Nege Yorker i can
give some valuable information on
raising potatoes. l have been in
possession of secret for the last
three years, that | know to be very
valuable and which should be gener-
ally known, as the season is now at
hand to put it in practice, This new
plan is most important in dry seasons,
as double the weight can be raised
on quite poor land. Now, l viii tell
you how. l manage promising that |
never knew potatoes to rot in the
ground, and that ] now am sixty
three years old. I plant my pOta-
toes in the latter part of April or the
first of May, and in the old of the
moon. When they get six inches
high, l plaster and dress them out
nicely. Now for secret. When
the sets show for blossoming, then is
the time, take two part plaster and
one part fine salt; mix well together,
and put one large spoonful of this
compound on each hill drop as near
the centre as possible. Just as soon
as the potatoes are ripe, take them
out of the ground have them per-
fectly dry, then put in the cellar,
and keep them in a dry cool place.
Some farmers let their potatoes re-
main on the ground, soaking through
all the cold fall rains, until the snow
falls. The potatoes become diseased
in this way more and more every year;
hence the potato rot. With such
management they should rot.-F'ar-

LARGE CATTLE An OK, said to be
the largest ever slaughtered in California,
was to be seen in Washington Market
this week, 1t was California-grown an
imal, raised on the ranch of John Keyes,
of Tomales, and fatted by Thomas r.
Cook, of San Francisco. The live weight
of the monster animal was 2, ,440 pounds,
or nearly II tons, and the net weight of
the carcass, after slaughtering, was 1907
pounds In the same market was the
carcass of an imported Durham OK, fatted
at Santa Clara, which weighed only 141
pounds less.-Anumbcr of other choice
cattle have been slaughtered for Christ

LATE MILITARY INTELMGENcE.-A
dispatch from Nashville states that all the
railroads leading from Atlanta except the
Macon road have been destroyed. Op-
erations in front of Atlanta are going on
satisfactorily. In the battles in the front
of the town, our forces almost annihi-
lates two of the enemy's best corps. All
the prisoners captured unite in saying
that the rebel general Hood was killed
on the 22d instant. Major General
Rousseau's raid is represented to have
been the most successful one during the
war. Our total loss was FIVE killed and
thirteen wounded He captured and
paroled two thousand rebels, and killed
and wounded twohundred He also cap
tured about eight hundred horses and
mules, and about the same number of con
trabands. He destroyedabout thirty lone
miles of railroad, and great quantities of
stores, cotton, &c. thirteen railroad depots
at points ON the Atlanta and Montgom-
cry Railroad were burned. The Rich
mond papers, very refreshingly, claim
decided victory at Atlanta declaring that
''the Federals were driven back with
heavy loss"

FACTS FOR FARMERs.-If you invest
money in tools and then leave them ex-
posed to the weather, it is the same as
loaning money to a spendthrift without
security dead loss in both cases.
If You invest money in fine stock, and
do not feed and protect them, and prop
erly care for them, il is the same as dress
ing your wife in silk to do kitchen work.
you invest your money in good
farm and do not cultivate it well, it is the
same as marrying a good wife, and so en-
shaving her as to crush her energies and
break her heart.

PRESERVATION OF EGGs.-A wri-
ter in the Boston Cultiyato1 says :
The best method / know of to pre-
serve eggs, is to fill the pores of the
shell with fresh, clean lard, so as to
exclude all the air. 1t is my opin-
ion that this simple and easy method
is preferable to any now in use.
Some put them in lime water some
lay them down in salt some put them
in saw dust. But the lime cooks
them, so that they have a dried ap
pearance salt has a similar effect
while eggs saturated with lard, as
far as my experience goes, open fresh
and nice.
In Paris, however, where they un-
derstand these things thoroughly,
eggs are preserved by immersion in
hot water, as follows Water is
made to boil in a kettle; dozen
eggs are put into cullender, which
is plunged into the kettle, left there
about a minute, and withdrawn with
eggs. By this means a thin layer
of yolk becomes coagulated, and
forms in the interior surface of the
shell sort of coating which opposes
itself to the evaporation of the sub
stance of the egg, and consequently
to the contact of the air which rushes
in to fill the void left by the evapora-
ton.

COVERED MANUREs.-A late num-
Der of the Journal Of Agricnltare
contains a statement of the result of
an experiment made to determine the
relative value of manure made under
cover, and that exposed in the barn
yard. Both manures we're applied to
potatoes in equal quantities. The
yield on equal portions of land were
as follows; Manure from yard,
252 bushels per acre manure made
under cover, 297 bushels per acre.
