Jackson, for ten years previous to the
breaking out of the rebellion, was professor

of his neighbors and famiiars, and have

err he was decidedly unpopular; and it is
said he was very maladfoit in his expert
ments, which often resulted in ludicrous
blunders. at which he would laugh as heart
lily as the lads in his class. At one time
he determined to acquire the art of public
speaking, and with this view he joined the
Franklin Society, a literary ASSOCIATION
which has existed for many years, and
which still exists in Lexington. He used
to take part in the debates, but with the
most distressing stammerings, haltings and
break downs, and never attained more than
a mediocre faculty of utterance. AS he
came more under the influence of religious
sentiments, after the death of his first wife
he ceased to attend the Franklin Soci ETY.,
and became more and more moody and &C.
centric as he became more and more un-
popular. Indeed he was looked upon rs a
kind of a mild lupatic, and the board had
frequent meetings with the view of displac-
ing him from his chair in the Academy At
length the war broke out and the qualities
that had smoudered in mere fire damp
suddenly burst into clear and steady fame.
All the people here speak of the wonder
ful change that came over him at the out
break of the war. Though he had been
all his life an ardent State Rights Demo
crat, yet he bitterly opposed secession
Nevertheless when the war came, he threw
into it all the tremendous energies of his
nature. Then his religious ferver became
a guiding light a1d an impelling power
He believed that he was literally led by the
hand of God 'Most men will think" he
said, referring to his overwhelming attack

all from the first but it was not so.
simply took advantage of circumstances as
they present themselves to me in the Prov
idence of God. [ feel that his hand led
me. !" Long before the war, and even in
regard to minor matters, he used to ex-
press the same views of Divine Intervention
and inspiration and in one Of his letters
which | have read, he says that Through
the grace given him from above" he feels
that rain will fall at such and such time.
Certainly, he was an extraordinary man:
and standing by his grave this evening [
seemed to realize there lay below the only
man who could have conducted the war to
2, successful issue on the part of the
South.

ssOut Of Debt, cut Of Danger"

Some young farmer in the country has
been writing to the New York Journal Of
Commerce, to see if it could not help him
borrow money on hisland.--The editor does
not see it, He says: M r9g ysds .
I'VE would not help young farmer to a
loan upon his land if we could. There is no
incubus upon human energies like debt
1t is oppressive enough when it comes upon
a man Of business as q temporary engage
ment, representing crop to be gathered or
q lot Of produce or merchandise in transit, to
be sold to meet it atmaturity. But as a
permanent burden upon q farm or a manu-
factory, OF stock of goods. it is worse than
a nightmare. Keep out of debt is golden
rule, the observance of which would have
saved life and fortune to millions of the race
who have succumbed to the crushing pres
sure. If a man has a farm Of three hundred
acres, and needs capital to work it, let him
sell half or two-t thirds of it, and use the mon
ey thus obtained to develope the remainder
ANY man, Of sense can make more money
upon $50 acres clear of debt than upon 800
acres when he owes for half Of it.. If he has
but $50 acres to begin with, let him sell 100
acres and work upon so, rather than run in
debt. Wereturn one answer to every young
man who asks us how to borrow money upon
his -.sDon't!' Live on potatoes,
make yourself garments Of fig leaves, and
sleep under the hay in the barn, if necessary,
but If do not borrow money! No more
pernicious institution could be organized than
one that should loan ten million dollars TO
country farmers. It would be the ruin of
seyen-eighths of them" 80.

A SAILING CARRlAeE."- The St. Louis
Democrat describes newly invented "sail-
ing carriage designed for use on the New
Mexico route:
ut has two upright jib sails, and sail on
each spoke of the two wheels Oh one side of
the wagon, with steering gear acting on the
forward wheels, and provision for transfer
ing the wheel sails to the opposite wheels
The inventor is Charles P, Maczowitzky, a
German, who has been sailor, and has
since spent several years in traversing the
plains He relies upon the ascertained con-
stancy Of the prevalent winds on the great
plains over the route named The wheels
are ten feet high, the wagon body shaped
like long boat and hung low, and with the
jib sails, the whole concern presents an odd
and formidable appearance. The design is
to take passengers and mail matter only
not freight-and it is expected that the car
riage will suffice as boat in crossing
streams" 3s ao

ON THE SHENANDO'.
By CARRIE RAYMOND.


On the Shenando'. on the Shenando',
There are tears Of grief and walls Of wo,
And they come like the rain from heavens eyes
And the soft South wind with its mournful signs
For the mounds are high and the bitches are deep
Where the battleslain heroes in qnietude sleep !;
And the flowers will come and the flowers will go,
While the warriors sleep in the deep Shenado'.
Oh! whiterheaded father, bow not in your grief,
For the bullet is cold that has slain your young
Oh. signing young maiden, cease your rnournful
refrain, eEI5 s Hs@ .zsH#N ss8ss #f
For your hero comes not from his bed on the plain.
His comrades sleep with him, he's dreaming Of
bliss, go
And is marching to glory, but far, far from this.
And the SHOWS will come and the SHOWS will go
While the warrior sleeps in the deep Shenando'.
There's q heartnstone afar that is cherries and
cold, fast
For death has sat there and his requiem told;
And young wife weeps on her pillow at night,
For the pride of her soul, that had sunk in the
Sd hght,n .s.sgaas .e ~ er.ss.H s, t.sal
As the ship goes down, in the bright hour Of day,
When the. wind is soft and the young waves play /,
But time will come and time Will go
While the warrior sleeps in the deep Shenando'.

will be remembered, was incarcerated in
Fort Lafayette just after the war had closed
for certain sentiments he had chosen to ex-

order to that effect came through General
Dix, it is thought advisable to make him the

have been effective in several cases to his

SHORT RULE TO MEASURE GRarN.--Is ia
convenient to farmers and choppers at this
season to have an easy and correct rule by
which to measure corn in cribs Here is one:
Having leveled the corn in the crib, meas.
ure the length, breadth and depth. and null
tiply them together, and deduct from the
product one fifth: and you have the number
of bushels in the car-tor shelled corn. take
one-half of this. To be strictly correct, add
half a bushel for every one hundred. Far
mers who are fond of cyphering can test the
correctness Of this rule by taking 172S solid
inches for foot. and 2150 inches in BUSH
ell. and see that the latter is nearly Que fifth
larger than the former.

How TO HAVE MEALY PorAroxs. AT
this season of the year, particularly, and IN
til the new crop comes, almost all potasoes
when boiled are apt to be water soaked and
soggy. and we are sure the lovers of this es-
culent will thank us, says an exchange, for
giving them receipt for having mealy po-
tatoes every Gay in the year-not fancy
one made to order from a cook book, but
one that has stood and will stand the test Of
constant practice. 1t is very simple, and
involves only slight increase of trouble
and labor over the ordinary method of cook
ing. Pare the raw potatoes, and let them
stand an hour or SO in a: basin Of water in
which pinch of salt has been added. Boil
quickly. When done, drain off the water
carefully, and replace the potatoes upon the
stove, in the same vessel in which they wers
cooked, to dry for Eve or ten minutes
When ready to serve, take each potato and
squeeze it gently, but not enough to destroy
the form in a dry napkin, and place imme-
diately on the table, The squeezing in the
napkin takes out all the water, and leaves
the potatoes that were before wet and heavy.

gives almost instant relief from pain, and.
by excluding the air, prevents excessive in

be changed at least once day. While on
