Then and Now.

The Memphis Appeal thus COM
ments upon the altered appear
ance of a portion of the popula-
ton of that city during Christ
mas week:
A noticeable and a sorrowlul
feature of the week has been the
marked contrast exhibited In the
dress of the negroes who, have
thronged our streets, now and five
OF SIX years ago. In the good old
times, on holiday occasion, it is
hardly too much to say that the
Inegroeswere the dressiest, if not the
best dressed portion of the popu-
lation. Then, every other want
was provided, and their earnings
could be freely lavished upon per-
sonal adornment. This, with the
presents from members of the
family, gave to our negro popula-
ton, on Sundays and holidays, an
appearance of jaunty stylishness
which amazed the stranger, espe-
cially if foreigner. In this re-
gard things are sadly changed
Thoughtless improyidence with,
doubtless, o liberal share of the
demoralization which war has be-
queathed the whole country-the
stern necessity of living ON their
own resources-has greatly cur
tailed the old time showiness and
tidiness. The negro freedman as
he is, is a sharer in the impover.
ishment of his old protecter.

recommends the use of paste, made
from pure strong vinegar and flour,

is spread over the parts affected by
the malady. 1t is very simple
harmless remedy, and an invalua-
BILE one, if as powerful as it is rep

A New FASHIONED SHoE.-A

A New FASHIONED SHoE.-A
new style Of shoe is worn in New
York city. The invention is sim
pie. The upper part of the boot
or shoe is cut out in almost ordina-
ry fashion by regular shoema-
ker. The sole and heel are made
of hard maple wood. and are join
ed by shank of the sole leather,
which gives all needed elasticity.
The uppers are fastened to the sole
by a thin band of iron, which en-
circles the rim of the sole, and
fastens sole and upper together in
a manner far more effectual than
any sewing can do. When put
together the shoe makes hand
some appearance, and is as light
as a leather shoe of correspond
ing size. The heels are comfort
ably followed out ON the upper
side and they have the proper curve
to insure easy walking.

Remedy for Kicking Cows

Cows, says a cotemporary, sell
dom kick without some good rea-
son for it. Teats are sometimes
chapped, or the udder tender,
harsh handling hurts them, and
they kick. Sometimes long and
sharp finger nails cut their teats,
and sometimes the mixer pulls the
long hairs on the udder while milk
ing. Shear off the long hairs, cut
long finger nails close, bathe chap
ped teats with warm water, and
grease them well with lard, and al
ways treat COW gently. She
will never kick unless something
hurts her, or she fears repetition
of former hurts. When handled
gently, COWS like to be MIXED
When treated otherwise, they will
kick and hold up their milk. 1t
is quite as consistent to whip a
sick child to stop its crying, as to
whip or kick cow to prevent her
kicking while being milked.

A Negro Election.

It will be recollected that Gen.
Howard instituted an arrangement
whereby in each locality of the
South one citizen should be desig-
mated by the white people, one by
the colored people, and third
their local AGENT by the Bureau,
the three to constitute a court for
the adjudication of controversies to
which negroes were parties. The
Lynchburg Republican gives the
following amusing account Of the
election" held by the freedmen
under this regulation:
"The negroes are still enjoying
the effect of their recent election.
1t was their all-absorbing topic of
conversation yesterday, and many
were the rejoicings of the com
mon darkies' over the defeat of

The scene at the election was eX-
ceedingly rich-worthy of the

charged by one party that some
of the others voted three or four

old fellow, after casting his ballot,
exclaimed, % Lord! dis nigger's

a NIAIDEN'S REVERIEI.


He tells me am beautiful,
That o'er my cheek and brow
The mantling blush reveals a tale
More plain than words or VOW.
There's music in his lightest tone,
Like that of Heaven above;
But the sweetest words he breathes to me
Is the whisper soft, Il love-"
He says an angels form is mine,
In beauty and in grace;
Ny fairy feet with lightness trip,
Sylph-like, from place to place.
His dear lips utter forth no sound
That is not priced by me;
Yet richer strain has thrilled my soul,
More sweet than praises be.
He tells me genius flashes forth
From out my soul-lit eye,
That Inspirations magic gift
Within their dan k orbs lie.
I prize his words as treasured gems,
Where'er my footsteps rove;
But dearer far, more rich than these,
Is the memory of bis love.
He says the casket, bright and fair,
Holds brighter gems within:
A tender heart-a soul too pure
To dwell with vice and sin.
Earth brighter grows at each loved word,
And takes the hues of Heaven;
But like melody sweet from fairy land,
Is the priceless love he's given.

Important Decisions in
Regard to Claims and
Damages.

The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette tele-
graphs that paper that the Quar-
termaster General is literally
overwhelmed with letters from
parties residing in the late rebel
lious States, claiming, praying,
and in many cases demanding,
compensation for damages inflict-
ed on their property by the Uni
ted States troops during the rebel
lion. Thus far he has fatty re-
fused to consider any claims, even
those put in by thoroughly loyal
persons, for rent of property used
by the United States forces in rebel
lious districts and where the subor-
dinate Quartermaster has given
the proper vouchers. The follow
ing decision, recently made by the
Quartermaster's Bureau in regard
to the claim of man of undoubt-
ed loyalty, residing in Winches-
ter, Virginia, may be considered
as applicable to all similar claims
against the Government. The
Quartermaster General says
"Winchester was hostile town,
from an enemy who did
not surrender on terms, but were
driven out by force of arms. Ev-
in it was prize of war,
and, as at Atlanta and Charleston,
buildings were occupied for the
shelter of the troops and for sick
and wounded soldiers. 1t does
not appear that the military de-
partment should order the pay

that several negroes had contract
ed with a certain party for length
of time, todo certain work, &C., but
another party offering superior IN

Go where you VIII in this State,

ative classes, those who have been
law-and-order men all the time,
have no sympathy at all for the
Governor; while those who have
been known as secessionists look
upon him as their evil genius. |

Of this latter class, at least where

Curiosities of Eating.

\ An old beau, formerly wei
known in Washington city, wa
accustomed to eat but one meal il
twenty-four hours; if after this h
had to go to a party and take
second dinner, he eat nothing al
the next day. He died at the ag'
of seventy.
A lady of culture, refinement
and unusual powers of observation
and comparison, became widow
Reduced from aflluence to poverty
with a large family of small chill
dren dependent on her manual la
Dor for daily food, she made a va
riety of experiments to ascertain
what articles could be purchased
for the least money, and would al
the same time ''go the farthest," by
keeping her children longest from
crying for something to eat. She
soon discovered that when they
eat buckwheat cakes and molasses,
they were quiet for longer time
than after eating any other kind
of food.
A distinguished Judge of the
United States Court observed that
when he took buckwheat cakes for
breakfast, he could sit on the bench
the whole day without being un-
comfortably hungry. Ifthe cakes
were omitted he felt obliged to
take a lunch about noon. Bnck-
wheat cakes are a universal favor
ite at the winter breakfast table,
and scientific investigation and an
alysis has shown that they abound
in the heat-forming principle;
hence nature takes away our ap-
petite for them In summer.
During the Irish famine, when
many died of hunger, the poor
were found spending their last shil-
ling for tea, tobacco, and spirits.
1t has also been observed in New
York, by those connected with
charitable institutions, that when
money was paid to the poor, they
often laid out every cent in tea or
coffee, instead of procuring the
more substantial food, such as
meal, -four, and potatoes. On be-
ing reproved for their apparent ex-
travagance, and improvidence, the
cry universally was in both cases
their own observation
had shown them that penny's
worth of tea. tobacco, or liquor
would keep off the sense of hunger
longer than penny's worth of
else. Scientific men ex-
press the idea by saying: "Tea,
like alcohol, retards the metamor-
phosis of the tissues; in other
words, it gives fuel to the flame of
life, and thus prevents it from con-
suming the fat and flesh of the
body"
If person gets into the habit
of taking lunch between break
fast and dinner, he will soon find
himself getting faint about the reg
ular luncheon time; but let him
be 50 pressed with important en-
for several days in sue
cession as to take nothing between
meals, it will not be long before he
can dispense with his lunch alto
getner. These things seem to
show that, to a certain extent, eat
inc is a mere habit. Whole tribes
