Practical Adv ice.

Steam mills and water mills, as we'll
as horse mills, and gearing for gins, are
very common in our District. Note
tho following advice.
Leather bands should have the
grain side to tho pulley, and not the
hosh side. The surfaces both of tho
band and of the pulloy-should bo
made as smooth as possible. This will
prevent the band from cracking.
ASA matter Of interest to some of
our readers, We give the following as
the directions for calculating the
width Of belts required for transmit
ting different numbers Of horse row-
or:
Multiply $4,000 by the number of
horse power divide the amount by
the number Of feet Tho belt is to run
per minGte divide the ouoticnt by
the number of feet Or parts Of a loot
in length of belt contact with smaller
drum or pulley, divide this last duo.
tlcnt by six, and tho result is the re.
quircd width ofbelt in inches.
ExAMrLE Required the width of
belt tho velocity of which is 900 feet
pcr minute to transmit twenty horse
power, the diameter Of smaller drum
being about four feet:
OO-:.20-720,OOO l,6OO=45O.
Diameter Of smaller drum boins
four feet, tho circumference over
twelve feet, we suppose the othcr
drums circumference in contact with
belt--then
oG5-9o"6-l5 inches,
tho required width of belt.

Look Out.
The Richmond correspondent Of the
New York Times snys

The Richmond correspondent of the
Now York Times says
Tho Convention will be intensely
Radical, and the greater number Of
tho delegates will be very ignorant
men. The Constitution framed BY it
will, it is thought, be SO extreme and
prosoriptive that it Will be Voted
down. This is the present detcrmina-
tion of tho white people; Congress
may, however, check them in that di-
rection by changing tho Reoonstruo-
tion law.
The interference Of Congress will
be confession Of failure in their whole
scheme. This will not le made.
But artfpl men, literally provided
with money, viii hang about tho lob.

What the South is prepared for.

Those papers in the North arc mis-
taken which advise us Of the South
not to lay too much stress on the De-
mocratic victories in the late elections
North. We don't. We know thGy
only mean that the Democrats oppose
the Radical rule, and not the result Of
the late war. That result is the abo-
lition Of slavery, The Democrats on
ly mean that, because the late slaves
arc free, they needn't coutrol the whole
State or Federal Government. We
know thing or two, if We have been
overpowcrcl.

Court Of Common Pleas

VUUIV Vl OUHIIHUI Z IUUS
The Fail term of this Court opened
yesterday, at 10 o'clock, his Honor,
Judge Monroe, presiding. The bust.
ness of the Court will likely consume
tho whole week, as there arc ut least
two orSthrec cases of charges for muir
der to be tried.
The absence of the military power
as indicated by uniform and swords,
gives to the Court of our District more
of that pristine dignity and impor-
tance, than can attach to the Courts
where these arc present.

How to Swear.
The solcmnity Of an oath is often
impaired by the awkwarlness of the
person taking it. This is unpleasant
to observers. \ simple rule to follow,
and one which has tho sanction of one
Of tho ablest judges Of the State, is
that when tho person sworn lays his
hand upon the Bible in taking the
oath, he should HISS the Bible but if
he simply holds up his right hand
without laying it on tho Bible, he
should not kiss tho Bible.
In the first case, the person swca;r.5s;
in the second he oDirms.

IF YOU WANT A KISS TAKE IT.


There's a Jolly Saxon proverb
That 5 pretty much ike this
That man is half in heaven.
When he has womanto kiss;
Bnt there's danger IN delaylng-
And the sweetness may foTsake It
So tell you, bashtul lover,
If you want kiss why take It
Never let another fellow
Steal march on you In this;
Never let laughing maiden
See you spelling for kiss.
There royal way to kissing,
And the jolly ones who make it
Have motto that is winning
If you want a kiss why take 1t
Any foe may face a cannon,
Any body wear crown,
But man must win woman
II he d have her for his own:
Would you have the golden apple.
You must find the tree and shake IT,
If the thing Is worth having,
If you want kiss why take H.
Who would burn upon desert,
With a forest smiling by?
Who wonld give lis sunny summer
For bleak and wintry sky?
Oh | tell you there is magic,
And you cannot, cannot break it,
For the sweetest part OF loving
Is to want kiss and take it.
