Sage Tea IN Profltse S10eatinq. An
old remedy for excessive sweating is
again bfought before the public notice
in the shape Of cold sage tea. It is
made bg taking large teaspoonful of
chopped sage leaves, and boiling them
In six ounces Of water for two or three
minutes. The decoction is then left to
stand and cool, and is strained and
sweetened to the taste. This remedy
has been used with benefit in the CALI
guatiye sweating, as it Is called, ofpul-
E1onary consumption.

Weed Drag.-In plowInga a field over
grown with long grass or weeds, a con-
trivanee is desirable to drag the tops
under the furrOw, so that they shall be
completely covered by the plow. Such
an arrangement have used for several
seasons. It consists of nothing but a
chain. rather heavy one is best, with
one end fastened to the plow beam at a
point a little forward of the center ol
the moldboard, aud the other end fast.
ened to the double whifietree. The
chain must be slack enough to drag tt
the bottom Of the furrow. A little ex.
perience will determine the proper
length.

GroaUiag I5wRips With Corn.-Mr
Barnes, of Westmoreland, Oneida
County, has a novel way Of growing
turnips with corn, which we do not
remember to have seen described be-
fore. He plants his corn three feet
four inches apart, each way, which
makes 4, 600 hills to the acre. and
manures in the hill with well-rotted
manure. He uses about ten loads of
manure to the acre, and while loading
up the manure in the yard, turnip
seed is scattered over the load two or
three times, or, In other words, when
a third of the load is put upon the
wagon, a few seeds are sprinkled over
it, and so on for every third of the
load The manure is then carted to
the field and placed in the rows where
it is to be used, and the corn planted
He states by this method about every
hill viii have its tUrnip plant, which
grows well with the corn, and Yields at
the rate of 150 bushels to the acre of
roots, without any detriment to the
corn crop. The turnip plants become
firmly established by the time the corn
Is fit to cut, and after that make most
of their growth, advancing with great
Fapidity. Mr.. B. showed US a large
heap Of turnips raised by the above
method, and they we're as large and fine
as could be desired. He says the tur-

Cure for Foot ROt.-A correspond
ent Of the Ohio Farmer says There
is no hocus-poeus about curing lame
sheep: be half as thorough with
them as you would be to cure your
own sore feet, and It will be done
Trim close at first and use what medi-
cine you please, once in four or five
days, applied tWenty-four hours after

The worst lame flock Of sheep I
ever knew was cured with strong brine

Seeding Land to Grass.-A Herki-
mer county, n. Y, farmer, talking at a
recent farmer discussion, said he tho't
that farmers often SOW too much seed.
Had tried heavy seeding, putting on
double the quantity usually soWn, and
did not get good crop of grass would
SOW from eight to ten quartz of timo-
thy, and two to four quarts of clover
. per acre, then bush and roll the land.
Some thought that bushing and rolling
were not enough, and that the seed
should be worked in deeper with
the harrow; would give the land a
coat Of manure after sowing; any
coarse manure would do; it acted as
a mulch. If pains are taken to man
ure the land after sowing with five
loads Of manure per acre, spreading on
also a little plaster, the crop of grass
will not fail to be good. Thought the
heavier seeding gave a crop of grass
having less woody fiber, and cOnse-
quently, an equal weight had more nu-
tritive value than from lighter seeding.

The following extract from the report of

dIsgraceiul chapters in American history

they will blush to find that the chief officer
OF their government has for ten months been
subjected to the scrutiny of a secret star

all over the land TO find something that might

Magistrate Of our country. Cnwhipped
knaves have given information Of E,buInus

people by placing his spies within the very
walls Of the Executive Mansion; the priya-

been deemed sacred or exempt from invasion;
the members Of his household have been ex.

JEFFERSON DAVIS.

The trial Of Mr.. Davis has been postponed
until the goth of March NEXT Chief JUS
tice Chase who had promised so frequently
to be present on the occasion, did not make
his appearance. The Court met on Monday
last, Judge Underwood, presiding. After q
few remarks from the latter, Mr.. Eyarts, on
the part Of the Government, stated it was his
intention to try Mr.. Davis some day this term
when Chief Justice Chase could preside
As the latter could not be present until after
the adjournment Of the Supreme Court, Mr.
Evarts suggested the POstPonement of the
trial to the fourth Wednesday Of March next
The Goth of March was then agreed upon,
and the bail bond Of Mr.. Davis extended un-
til that time, with the understanding tina: if
Chief Justice Chase could not then preside
the leave Of absence should be extended to
the following term. Commenting upon this
postpOnemeut, the Lynchburg Republican APP
propriately remarks:
& The postpOnement of the trial of Hon.
Jefferson Davis until March next, by Under
woods court, is another indication that the
trial Of that statesman is not to take place at
well thar he has not been guilty of anything
like treason epder the, constitution or laws OF
this land, and tint toDcOnvict him before
either an honest court or jury is impossible
Chief Justice Chase btsnself, in 1850, held
and freely expressedidenticalIy the same SEN
timeGt5 aud views as to the constitutional
right of secession, that were held and express
ed by Mr.. Davis and the other States rights
men of this country, and the reading OF his
own public utterancCs before court would
insure triumphant acquittal of the accused
except before a packed jury and a corrupt
judge. There il no more ground for ar.
raiguiEg MIR. Davis upon the imputation of
treason, than there is for arruigning Lee
Johnston, or any other man who participated
in the late war for Southern Independence
and constitutional liberty. The public au>
thOritics Of the United States know this we'll,
and We predict they will never reach for
NAL trial of the President Of the late Con-
federacy. The truth is, the rcaI traitors in
this country are those men who now figure
in Congress, and have destroyed the consti-
tutionaI liberties Of ten States, and revolu-
tiOnizcd the government itself. Stevens and
Wade, aud Sumner, and Boutwell,, and their
ilk, are as vile cOnspiratOrs against the estab-
lished liberties OF their country as ever Gaia
line or Nero was against the liberties Of Rome,
and If any body is to be tried for treason,
they are the identical men who ought to be
first arraigned. The battle of Mr.. Davis and
the people Of the South was for the constitu-
ton and laws of this land, as written by tie
Fathers and good men of the nation but the
struggle of the present Congressional con-
sPiratorS at Washington is. aud has been for
years past, to subvert aud destroy the con-
stltution and present form OF government
The day is not distant, perhaps, when these
bad men may reach the gallows which they
have prepared for good. patriots and honest
statesmen,

DEATH OF WALTER PRESTON.

The Hon. WALTER PREsroN, who repro.
sented the Little Tennessee district in the
Confederate Congress, died at his residence
in Abingdon, last week. For many wears
Mr.. p. had been an invalid, and his suffer-
ings from acute rheumatism had rendered
him a complete cripple, and greatly pros
trated his physical condition. But amid it
all his brilliant mind was unimpaired, and
with his clear voice aud impassioned elo>
queuce he possessed the power of enhancing
the most inattentive listener We shall never
forget the effect of a speech We heard him
make in Congress in opposition to the con-
script bill. He had unbounded confidence
in the patriotism and enthusiasm of the peo-
pie, and believed that the government had
only to call for troops to secure them in num-
bers sufficient to carry on the unequal con-
test, and that the spirit of a volunteer army
wOuld more than counterbalance the differ
ence in the number Of troops secured in that
way and by CONSUMPTION. After commenting
at considerable length upon the comparative
efficiency of the soldiery secured by these re-
spective systems, he said in substance, and
We think in language-"Mr. Speaker, con-
tiuuo the volunteer system of obtaining the
defenders of the rights of the South and
the day is not distant when, under the lead.
ership of the peerless Jackson, the rumble of
your artillery will DO heard in the cities of
the NOrth,-yOur tired infantry shall rest
their weary limbs on the banks of the Sus-
quehanna, and your gallant troopers sIake the
thirst Of their painting steeds in the waters of
the Delaware 2" Such was the enthusiasm
of the patriot. and such his confidence in the
cause and the people he represented. Poor
Preston, he was u sufferer here! May his
spirit bask in the sunlight of an unfading
glory.

THE MOON HOAX.

1t will be rccollected that we published
last week most rcmarka able account from
the ScOttsviIIo Register, of a ghost, devil or
''goblin damned" that had been source of
great annoyance to the family of Mr. J. s.
Moon, of Albemarle county. Some of the
papers state that solution of the mystery
has been reached -
1t has been definitely ascertained that the
''ghost' was a negro with a magic lantern,
who had been employed by party, who
wished to buy the farm, to brighten the fami-
ly off it, with the hope he might get it for
small sum.
This seems to US to be a very poor solution
of an affair which created such sensation.
Did the magic lantern enable the negro to
open the doors, smash the windows, and knock
out the glass in the side doors How about
the man on the shed scraping matches, aud
firing a pistol at the sister-in-law of Mr..
Moon ? The negro must have been magic
too, as we'll as his lantern, or some one of the
many shots fired at him by the ''from ten to
forty men, who so vigilantly guarded the
house from night to night, would have arrest
ed his wild career. We would like to have
little more plausible solution, or. we shall con-
clude the Register man was Moon. struck when
he penned that remarkable account
