Odors from boiling ham, cabbage, &c, are
prevented by throwing red pepper pods or a
few pieces of charcoal into the pot,
Percussion caps are found to poison chill
drcn, if swallowed
Pigeons are Matched in eighteen days ;
chickens, twenty one; turkeys, twenty-six;
ducks and geese, thirty.
A cement which is good protection
against weather, water and fire, to certain
extent, is made by mixing a gallon Of water
with two gallons of brine, then stir in p
pounds OF brown sugar and three pounds OF
common salt put it on with Il brush like
paint.
Put potatoes Of equal size into water
while boiling; when done pour off the water
scatter in some salt, cover the rot with a
coarse CLOTH and return it to the FIRE for five
minutes, when they are ready for the table;
even watery potatoes are thus made mealy.
Common cut nails are easily driven into
hard wood if rubbed with little soft soap
saliva is better than nothing for that pur'
pose.
The best way to cook potato is TO bake Oh
roast it in an oven; when dore, crack thf
skins open and allow them to dry out for a
few minutes before placing them on the ta
bic.

KS"cccl2 S.''

Many seem not to be aware that Copper
heads, as applied to party, is only the re-
viyal Of AN old epithet which the New Eng
andcrs gave to our honest Dutch ancestors.
if we may credit the renowned Knicker-
booker i'll his celebrated History Of \. y
Diedrich thus discourses:
''ln the proud days of Peter Stuyyesant,
the good old Dutch aristocracy doomed out
in all its grandeur. The burly burgber, in
round-crowncd faundish hat, with brim Of
vast circumference, in portly garbandine and
bulbous multiplicity Of breecheS, sat on his
"stoop" and smoked his pipe in lordly 81
lence; nor did it ever enter his brain that
the active, restless Yankee, whom he saw
through his half-shut eyes, worrying about
in dogday heat, ever intent on the main
chance, was one day to exercise control over
these goodly Dutch domains. Already,
however, the races regarded each other with
disparaging eye. The Yankee sneeringly
spoke Of the Manhattoes as the Copper
heads" while the latter, glorying in their
own neither rotundity and observing the
slack galligaskins of their rivals, tapping
like an empty sail against the mast, retorted
upon them with the approbrious appellation
OF the Platter Brooches
If one of these party epithets, then, is to
be revived, and the venerable name Of Cop
perheads' is to be applied to the peace-lov-
ing, discreet, honest men of the country, as
in good Dutch times, surely their opponents
the active. restless, meddlcsome busybodies,
should not object to the rival name Of Plat
ter Breeches. IN T. EmpreSs.

Unacceptable Gratitude.

Lieutenant J----n, late of the sixteenth
regiment was few days ago walking down
street, when he was accosted by a fellow,
half soldier, half beggar, with most rcver-
entail salute
God bless your honor" said the man,
whose accent betrayed him to be Irish, 'and
long life to you.
"Ilow do you know me?' said the lieu
tenant,
"ls it how do I kr wv your honor?" re-
~sponded Pat Good right, sure, | have to
know the man chat saved my life in battle. y
The lieutenant, highly gratiied at this
tribute of his valor, slid a fifty cent piece
into the fellows hand and asked HIM when
God bless your honor and long life to
you, said the grateful veteran. Sure it
was Antetam, when seealg your honor run
away as fast as your legs would 'carly you

after you out of the fray, whereby | saved
my life. Oh good luck to your honor,

About Peace.

Many persons who have sons, brothers
aud fathers away in the army, ask US if
there is any hope Of peace. All begin TO
talk as IT this war ought TO be over, and it
Is the most hopeful sign we have seen for ma
ny day. When the people viii it, them
our rulers must obey. Let every man, wo-
man and child pray for peace, and invoke
the vengeance Of the Almighty on those
bad men who would sacrifice precious lives of
men to make money, as Fremont says they
are doing.
Nine out of ten Of the rebel prisoners say
the South wants peace.
jeff Davis has just published cores
p0ndence between him and the Governor of
North Carolina, showing that three efforts
to communicate with our rulers on that sub
ject have been made. We give an extract
from his letter, which shows that the rebel
leaders would have come down gracefully,
but our rulers had no manners, and the
want Of which, has since lost us 100000
lives:
Commissioners were sent before -hostili-
ties were begun, and the Washington Gov
ernment would not receive them, or hear
what they had to say. 4 second time /
sent military officer with communication
addressed by myself to President Lincoln -
The letter was received by Gen Scott, who
did not permit the officer to see Mr. Lincoln
but promised that an answer would be sent.
No answer has ever been received. The
third time, a few months ago, a gentleman
was sent whose position, character and rep
utation were such as to insure his reception,
ii the enemy were not determined to receive
no proposals whatever from the Govern
ment. Vice President Stephens made Il
patriotic tender Of his services in the hope
Of being able to promote the cause Of hui
mauity, and, although little belief was
entertained of his success, [ cheerfully
Welded to his suggestion that the expert
ment should be tried The enemy refused
to let him pass through their lines or to hold
any conference with them He was stop
Ped before he reached Fortress Monroe on
his way to Washington. 10 attempt again
lin the face of these repeated reflections Of
all conference with us to send commission
ed agents 10 propose peace, as to iRrite insult
and contunaeEy, and to subject ourSelces TO
tadig1t|ty arthoW the slightest chance of be-
ing RsteEcl, to.
JEFFERSON DAVIS"
This Lincoln and Davis fight is Just like
a fight between two strong men. One hates
to give up to the other, but the friends of
each wish some third man would stepin and
part them That is just what the Demo
cratic party proposes to do. Let the people
put us in power, and we can settle these
fighting cocks in day, and restore peace to
the country, and bring all the brave soldiers
home to their lamiles.- Ohio Dem.

ABOLITION IN LoU1sIANA.-O the llth
ult, the Constitutional Convention in Louis

there can be no doubt that those of them
wlto will be permitted to vote will approve
it. How the convention was elected, and
kow the elections are now conducted in that

The ohio State JoWudt, announcing the
result Of the draft in Knox county, with Il
grand flourish OF tIumpcts, proclainlS chat a
son OF Gen Columbus Delano is one Of the
men called by the wheel OF chance to serve
his county.
Now we are informed that this same Del
ano manifested extreme anxiety to be placed

II successful the county may lose his Vau-
bic services. Can The State Journal editor
inform us whether he has put on the cuirass
aud helmet and LuCiiIer, and gone forth to

1t is worthy Of note that Deano, senior,
when member Of Congress from the Capi-
ta District OF Ohio and the nation was en-
gagged in war with a foreign foe, ,>pronoun-
and damnable, y and voted against supplies;
but now believes this war holy, righteous
and honorable war. 1t should still further
be borne in mind that he has none Of his
blood or kindred in the army Of the Union
notwithstanding he prates increasingly OF his
loyalty and urges that the last man and
the last dollar be spent While he gives
brave lip service his actions speak louder
than words, and in this wise: Let the war
go on--let every poor man in the country
go--let them bleed and let them die--what
matter, so that the Nations life be saved
and | and my son John live to speculate in
stocks and tancies Our money invested in
railroads, and banks and farms and sheep,
is largely increased by the general ruin
wool is enhansed in value, shoddy thieves
and greenbacks multiply--the last man will
have the last dollar, and if he can only keep
out of gunshot range his name will be Della
no! God be praised for war, pestilence and
famine--for battle and murder and sudden
death, if the house of Dclano but SURVIVED.

The Dream of the Quakeress.

There is beautiful story of q pious old
Qnaku lady who was addicted to the use Of
| tobacco, She INDUCED III this habit until it
increased SO much upon her that she not only
smoked a large portion of the day, but fre-
quentiy sat up in bed for this purpose in, the
night, After one of these nocturnal enter
| talnmentS she dreamed that she died and APP
preached heaven. Meeting an angel, asked
him if her name was written in the Book of
Life. He disappeared, but replied upon re-
turning, that he could not find it.
"Oh," she said, do look again; it must
be there"
80 1t is not there.
Oh y she said, in agony, "it must bs
there. have the assurance that it is there
Do look again"
The angel was moved to tears by her en-
treaties, and again left her to renew his
search. After long absence he came back
with his face radiant with JOY and exclaim-
ed:
I'VE have found it, but it was so cloud
ed with tobacco smoke that we could hardly
see it,
The woman, upon waking, Immediately
threw her pipe away, and never INDUCED in
smoking again.
