TO the Women.

The School Of Invention has hither-
to devoted its labors almost entirely
to the relief of men. But little furr
ther improvement can be made upon
labor saving machinery for mon. The
skill of inventors is henceforth to be
devoted to the relief of women from
their severest tolls. And as washing
is among the very hardest of their
work, it comes in first for help.
These remarks bring us to the point.
Letsly AZ ~ Stiles nf Taftap
left With us liquid mixture for wash
ing, saying, ".hand this to your wife
and have her try it. Then if q fail
are notice it as such in the Herald
but, if a frst,rate success, just let the
people know it-for the benefit Of
the women"
Very well, we took the mixture
home. 1t was tried the next wash
ing day, and proved big success
lie women at home request us to
say as follows:
"That Deveraur's Washing Nirturc,
SO called in the circular and paper OF
instructions, ought to be used by ev-
erybody. 1t dispenses with tie use
of the dashboard, for we can do up
washing sooner and better and far
easier without: The clothes are whit
er. 1t saves near half the soap. The
mixture contains no turpentine or
other hurtful stuff. You may print
what | say
Mr.. Stiles says enough of the mix>
ture can be made to last year for
10 cts. We believe he asks a dollar
for full directions. Write to him at
Tafton.

That Eagle from Gen. Calls.

The latter part Of May we received
by express from Alabama very
large Grey Eagle, from an unknown
source. Till q day or two since all
sorts Of copjeetnres were entertained
as to
sso - whence the raven came.
Or how, in heavens name, ,ke
at last private note, not from Poe
the poet, but, we'd have you know it,
from that man Of military fame, Gen.
John B. Calls By name, in charge Of
Northern Albania, Head Quarters at
Huntsville, did all conjectures re-
move.
Said nnpretending note from the
General as follows:

Although the way bill had marked
on it, '.feed and ,pater reguarEy; eats
nothing bit fresh meat" he arrived the
hungricst, thirstiest biped eyer seen.
He is doing we'll and will be In good
condition for the Fourth July.
And, though a rebel bird, and
about as much unreconstructed as
most other Southerners of the Call
houn-Jeff Davis school, we mean to
have him dedicated to patriotism on
the Fourth by that master of West
ern Orators, Hon. Mat. IL. Carpen>
Ter. No grander theme for eloquent
display can be offered on that day,
except only the monument erected to
the brave dead.
