NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
1866,

4 4oQQt
Our most momentous, arduons struggle having
resulted in the triumph Of American Nationality,
the utter discontinue and overthrow of Secession
and Slavery, TIE Tribune, profoundly rejoicing
in this result viii labor to conserve the legitimate
fruits of this grand, benignant victory by render
ing Liberty and Opportunity ths common heri-
tage Of the whole American People BOW and ever
more.
Disconntenancing all unmanly exultation over
or needless infection Of pain or privation on the
upholders Of the lost cause it will insist on the
earliest possible restoration Of the Southern States
to their former power and influence in our Union
on the basis of All Rights for All their People.
IL VIII labor IN hope to prove that the substitu-
ron OF Free for Slave Labor must inevitably and
universally conduee to the increase Of Industry.
Inrlit Prosperity and Wealth, so that the South,
within the next ten years, must lookb back amazed
on her long persistence in practice SO baleful as
the chattelizing of Man
II VIII labor for the diffusion of Common School
Edacatlon, Manufactures, the Useful Arts, &C.,
CO. throughout every portion of our country but
especially throughout the sections hitherto devoid
OF them, believing that every good end will there
by be suhseryed and the interest of every useful
and worthy class promoted
IL VIII urge the Protection of Home Industry
" SSiAHlhatlnS dutleS on tOrelgn Products
ported, with view to drawing hither the most
capable and skilful artifcers and artisans of Eu
rope, and the naturalizing on our soil of many
branches of production hitherto all but confined
to the Old World, while it would strengthen and
extend those which have already a foothold
among us.
1t viii give careful attention to progress and
improvement in Agriculture, doing its best at
once to bring markets to the doors Of our farmers
and teach them how to make the most Of the os-
portunities thus afforded them.
1t viii devote constant attention to Markets, es-
pecialy for Agricultural Products, with intent to
save both producer and consumer from being vic
timized by the speculator and forestaller
And, giving fair scope to Current Literature, to
the proceedings of Congress, and to the general
News of the Day, it hopes to retain its old patrons
and attract many new to bear them company.

ne ORIGIN an s0Ap-

The application of soap as a detergent is
not of high antiquity. Like other useful
things-eleetric communication, fer instance
it seems to have been known as a fact for
considerable time before it was turned to its
most serVieeable account. Soap at first was
merely a cosmetic for smoothing the hair and
Frightening the complexion. When once its
valuable defensive powers were discovered
doubtless by accident--its employment spread
rapidly. Numerous soap manufactures
sprang up in Italy, notable in the little sea
port town of Savona, near Genoa, whence
the French name of soap, 'sayon. The
manufacture spread in Spain and France.
MarseiIles became famous for its marbled
soaps. Our word, ''soapn may come from
the Latin ssapo, whiehis mentioned by Phi
ny as an invention of the Gauls. AS wooden
garments preceded Enen so the fuller's art,
(for cleansing, securing, and pressing cloths
and stuffs) is older than the washerwoman' s
being due, it appears, to one Nicias, the son
of Hermias. His grand discovery would be
the employment of an earth, since named af
ter the persons who use it.
The Roman fullers, who washed dirty to-
gas, were persons of no little importance.
Their trade, and the manner of carrying it on,
were regulated by laws such as the Ler Ne
telIa de titlloni6Rs. At one time fuller S
earth found of very superior quality in
Staffsrdshire, Bedfordshires, and other Eng
lish counties) was considered so indispensa-
bic for the dressing of cloth, that, to prevent
foreigners from rivalling English fabrics, it
was made eontraband commodity, and its
expectation made equally criminal with the
heinous aud wicked export Of wooll How
completely public opinion has changed. No
weathercoek could make more perfect gyra-
ton from North to South, from East to West
What is it criminal to import now? ConViets
and contraband of war, perhaps. but certainly
not harmless earth and wool.-London Gro

MANAGEMENT oF CAEPRTs.

All kinds of carpets will wear much longer
if fine straw be spread evenly on the floor,
about half an inch thick, before they are fast
ened down. When they lie on the bare floor,
the gritty dust works through them to the
floor, and as they are pressed down on and
among it, they win be worn out much more
than when kept from it by straw. To aid IN
drawing carpets close up to the base board,
preparatory to mailing them, drive eight or
ten small nails into a piece Of wood, allowing
them to extend about three-eighths Of an inch
beyond the surface, similar to a weaver s
stretcher, and file them to a sharp point
With such an instrument as this, having long
handle, one person can thrust the side Of a
carpet up close to the base board, and hold it
with ease, till it is naild. There is some
science also in the emannerofsweeping carpets
correctly. Instead OF inclining the handle of
the broom forward, and rolling the dirt along
and pressing it into the carpet, by bearing
down on the broom, the handle should he
heldnearly erect, andthe dirt brushed along,
BY touching the carpet very lightly. In this
way both broom and carpetwill be worn less,
and the sweeping be done better.

SET our A GRAPE VINE.

Now is good time to prepare spot for
grape vine. Many persons are deferred from
anything of the kind by great parade made
BY some persons in preparing the ground.
Now take your shovel, dig out two or three
wheel barrow loads of earth and mix in with
the returned soil, two wheelbarrow loads Of
manure, and you viii have a nice bed for set
ting out your plant. We ought to have men
toned, as of the greatest importance, theright
selection ofa spot. Open garden culture viii
hardly do in Maine for most kinds of grapes.
Watch the effect Of the frost on your dwell
ings and see where it keeps off the longest,
and there plant your vines. In most parts of
Maine, an easterly or south easterly exposure
is the best, we have Diana which ripened
well the 10th of October, and the frost had not
struck it the 7th of October, when we took it
down for protection in the winter 1t was
not struck the last year, till the first of No
vember. 1t is in the corner of the L, and
house on the easterly side, where it has about
two and half hours of the sun in the rnoru-
ing. a row of shrubbery is in front of it a
distance of ten feet, which may have an inau-
ence in protecting it from the frost We have
noticed in our vicinity, the White Sweet Wat
er, growing in the some position and ripening
nearly every year. The idea that grapes re-
quire the sun all day long in order to ripen
them is mistake. We have seen them run
along under the caves of building where the
sun scarcely reached them, and they ripened
well. The idea that grapes ripen better by
pulling Off the leaves that cover them, we re-
gard as great mistake. We want to see eve
ry dwelling house in the State adorned with a
grape vine. Get Delaware grape and set it
out as well in the spring as in the fall.

Few farmer seem to reaiizethe Importance
of having good garden, yet a good one will
produce more profit, according to the labor
bestowed, than any other part Of the farm.
A good garden is not only profitable, as
producing food Tor the family. bet it is pro-
ductiye Of health, as a bountiful supply Of
vegetables on the table, viii frequently keep
a family healthy; and when their food consists
constantly Of salt meats, potatoes, and bread
only, the doctor is a feqaent visitor, in many
eases
The gardens that most farmers have are a
disgrace to them.-a few hills Of early pota-
toes, beans, squashes, &c, 50 entangled in
weeds that man would require compass
in a cloudy day, when among them. to tell
which way is north, and which south.
There is great mistake made, we think,
by almost all people who have gardens, in
putting beets, carrots, parsnips, &C., in beds.
1t is much better to grow such things in long
rows, foot to eighteen inches apart, so wide
that man may have room to walk between
them easily to hoe them. Suppose you have
plot of ground plowed and narrowed. 100
feet square. First rake it off with heavy
iron rake, then set line for the first row,
drawn tight. then with the corner Of your hoe,
mark the row, where the seed is sown, direct
ly under the line, which one can do almostas
fast as man can walk At each end Of the
plat, you should have a stick for a measure of
the width of the rows. Now, having marked
out your first row, lay down the first measure,
and set the line for the next one, and SO on
till the space you desire to sow is all marked
out, as straight as line.
lyon desire 10 SOW beets, carrots, parsnips,
and the ike, the corner of the hoe should not
make a furrow over an inch deep, with the
dirt raised some on each side, and when the
seed is sown, and the ground levelled, it viii
not be covered over half an inch deep, which
is enough.
On this system Of sowing vegetables, you
viii accomplish double in the same time, what
you could by making beds for them, while the
crops viii beenuch better, owing to the fact
that we generally SOW. seeds in rows too close
in beds.-PanaE Americda
