United States Tax Upon Lands.

We would call the readers special
attention to the following notice. II
is directed to the taxpayers Of the
county of Hinds, but, as matter Of
course, the same notice will he given
to the taxpayers of all the counties
of the State very soon. The peculiar
feature in the law of Congress Great
ing this tax is this: "That the title
Of, in, and to each and every piece
and parcel Of land, upon which said
tax has not been paid" within SIXTY
DAYS from the date Of said notice,
shall thereupon become forfeited to
the United States" II does not
provide for sale, nor nothing Of that
sort. And, again, there is provision
as to the redemption of this land
when once forfeited, and the main
condition, and, in fact, the only con-
dition to said proriso, is "loyalty" to
the United States Government and
II does not even state where a man
should date his "loyalty." So il
will be perceived that if "lcyalty" is
dated at the time Of the passage Of
the law, but few citizens of Mississip-
pi could make the proof, especially
such as would satisfy the radical
status of loyalty. We would advise
our friends to be ready for the pay
ment of this tax, and not suffer q
forfeiture, for if the lands of thi.
country are forfeited, but few, il any
will ever be redeemed. But to the
notice :-Rosciusko Chronicle.

The Oriental idea that feminine
delicacy is only to be maintained by
concealing the face, seems to have
been borrowed from the house
builder moth, which is a perfect
model Of female excellence, according
to oriental notions, always staying at
home, always hiding her face, and
always producing enormous families,
Perhaps the male may be attracted
to the female by some peculiar in
stinct, for the eyes can have little tC
do with the discovery, she being 81
closely shut up in her house, and
never leaving it till the day Of hel
death.

BEAUTIES OF PROFESSOR BLOT.
The Professor gives these directions
for making gravy; Two tablespoon
fuIs of fat, pound of meat, an onion
and carrot sliced, and little broth
were put on the fire. When the
meat was well fried water was added.
He said it was impossible to make
a good gravy without carrot and
onion, as each contains sugar, which
gives the gravy pleasant favor
The volatile oil Of the onion evapo-
rates while frying, so that the gravy
has no pungent taste or smell. He
also tells pupils how to prepare burnt
sugar, which is so much used in soup
to give it brown color. Sugar is
to be put in an old ladle and set upon
the Goals until it becomes brown.
Cold water is to be put in and al
lowed to boil up, and the whole
strained.
Professor Blot thinks saleratus
deleterlous IN It's effects upon health,
sort of slow poison, and he never
uses it. Pork and veal, he says,
cannot be cooked too much, and
neither should ever be eaten at sup
per. The waste of the brain from
mental labor is more readily restored
by the eating of fish than meat.

The following sensible remarks were
indulgcd in by Governor Cox, of Ohio,
in recent speech. And yet be per-

For my own part ! have hooked M
on the terrible experience of the war

against future rebellions, and as I hold
the protection of the community to be
the chief object in punishing political
oftenses, l have regarded infections of

able j remember that HalIam,a a high
authority in the philosophy of history
has declared that "clemency Is the
standing policy Of Constitutional Gov
ernment, as severity is of despotism, 4"
and that the great Lord Chatham adop
ted the "bold, yet, as il proved, most
safe and wise policy of raising High
land regiments from the lately disaffec.
ted clans" soon after the last efforts of
the Stuarts to recover the English
throne. -tt 81. .t... r. ....O
Rebellion had become chronic in the
mountains of Scotland, and through
three generations the Highlandmen
had lost no opportunity of disturbance.
The fathers fought under Montrose for
the dethroned family, and the grand
sons were out under tho romantic
Chevalier, yet as soon as they had
leared the lesson that the Government
was too strong for them, Chatham trus-
ted them, and more than twenty wears
afterwary, when our revolution again
brought up the question how rebels
should be dealt with, the old states
man, who was our advocate, referred
with pride to his policy in regard to
the clans, exclaiming, "They were re-
claimed by his means" Every
American must bow with more than
