OF AgMw RACE or MEN (PEBHAPs) m
Mrs soURr A corresp spondent, writing,
from New Hamburg, Scott County,
no., with whom We happen not TO
be acquainted, informs us that two of
the citizens of the County, while out
limiting their cattle, on Bird IS Island,
n few days ago, discovered 'tthree
most singular individuals, {" men, in
fact, with "ro covering for the body
except the hair" which was from
one to two inches long" These in
diyiduals, it appears, had human
voices, but understood nothing that
was said to them. One of them, il
is said, sis evidently very old man,
AS he is quite gray all over" As they
proved not to be very belligerent, the
two farmers captured them; and our
correspondent says they were to be
forwarded to st. Louis in few days.
The story is wonderful enough, if
true. The arrival of the ssindivi-
duals" in this city will, however, dis
pei any doubt as to their existence
and identity with their description.

Governor of South Carolina

PREPARE FOR TURNIPs. would
like that our farmers be more i'm
pressed with the importance of this
crop: A few hints and facts may
possibly lead to this desirable result.
The prejudice heretofore existing to
some degree against the ruta baga
variety, we are glad. is fast disap-
pearing. The Southern AyicuAurulist
says:
If the turnip crop is so valuable to
England, how much more so may it
be in the Southern States, where
they do not have to be pulled or
housed? Here are the natural pas
lures of the world, and with the ruta
baga and other turnips, to help out
the feed, the Southern States can
surpass England in the production of
wool, as much as they do now in
cotton.
To such state of perfection haze
the English brought the culture of
turnips, that they have revolution
lZed the agriculture of the kingdom.
and the turnip crop of England is
annually worth more than the cotton
crop OF the United States. Sow
common turnips in August, Septem-
Der and October. The ruta baga NAV
be sown from goth July to Septem-
Der; should be planted i'll drills. two
feet apart, and thinned out to twelve
or fourteen inches. The ruta;baga is
destined soon to work q great change
in Southern agriculture. They are
as easily managed as the common
turnip, arc more nutritive, keep
much longer, and afford green's equal
to collards, if not superior. Stock of
all kinds are fond of them, and from
their rich golden color, sweet and
delicate flavor, are unsurpassed for
the table. Farmers, try the ruta
baga, and learn how it saves the
corn crib. The ruta baga is not in
clined to seed in this climate; but
this is benefit rather than an objec-
ton. as thereby the roots keep sound
much longer.

My DEAR SIR: L take pleasure in

letter of May 80, enclosing draft for
1000 in gold, for the relief of the
destitute in your native State and
District.
As you have we'll said, "thirty two
years of absence from your native
State" has evidently "not marred
your love of country" and your pre-
sent act of generosity, in remember
ing distresse,, eople, some of whom
are your former neighbors, nobly de-
monstrates that attachments of me-
mory and affection are not bounded
by the limits of time or place.
AS aSouth Carolinian living abroad,
you have done honor to the State of
your birth; but no professional tri-
umph which you have yet achieved
will elevate you higher in the respect
of mankind, and especially of your
own countrymen, than this voluntary
donation for the amelioration of their
sufferings.
Permit me, in the name of charity,
and in behalf of the citizens of Ian
caster District-to committee OF
whom, agreeably to your request,
have transferred your gift-to return
you my thanks, and to express the
hope that you may enjoy deserved re-
ward in the consciousness of a deed
unselfishly performed, and Of being
long remembered by those you have
SO nobly succored.
L have the honor to be, dear sir,

BEADLE's DINE PUBLICATIONS.
We have received from the publish
ers, Beadle & Co., No. 11S William
street, New York, two copies of their
cheap publications, viz: ''Beadlo's
Dime Standard Speaker; collection
of Choice Extracts and Passages from
the best American Orators and Au-
thors, in prose :.nd verse;" and
"Bald Eagle" by Mrs. Z. Oaks
Smith. To give an idea of the in
tentions of the publishers, we extract
the following from circular which
they have just issued:
$50 much prejudice prevails, in
certain quarters, against light litera-
ture, and especially against the cheap
novels which flood the land, that we
are solicitous the press and the public
should understand just what our
books are and what they are not.
"The initial idea of our enterprise
was, by combining excellence with
cheapness, to produce books which
should merit the confidence and re-
spect of the discriminating public.
Utterly avoiding the field of sensa-
tional literature, we have ever made,
and shall continue to make, literary
and moral excellence primary requi-
sites of every manuscript used.
Gas was to have been expected, our
success has called into existence other
enterprises, whose issues, by selling
at the same price, have become asso-
ciated and, in some instances, con-
founded with the dime books; but, as
there are no other Dino Publica-
tions'-that being our copyrighted
trade mark-wc must ask the public
to discriminate between our books
and those published by other houses,
for whose sins Of omission or COM
mission we do not care to be held
responsible.

For HOUSE-KEEPEEs. The follow
ing are few valuable household
hints, which are worth preserving:
Save your suds for garden plants,
or for garden yards, when sandy.
Wash your tea-trays with cold suds,
polish with little -four and rub with
dry cloth.
Frozen potatoes make more starch
than fresh ones; they also make nice
cake.
a hot shovel held over vanished
furniture will take out the white
spots.
A bit of glue dissolved in skim
milk and water will restore old Grape.
Ribbons of any kind should be
washed in cold soap suds, and not
rinsed
If your fat-irons are rough, rub
them with fine salt, and it will make
them smooth.
Oat straw is the best for filing
beds; it should be changed once q
year.
If you are buying carpet for dura-
bility, choose small figures.
A bit of soap rubbed on hinges OF
doors will prevent their creaking.
Scotch snuff put in holes where
crickets come out will destroy them.
A gallon of strong lye put in bar
rel of hard water will make it as soft
as rain water.
Half a cranberry on corn viii
kill it.
Always mend the clothes before
washing them. "

~ SUBSTITUTE. Now, that Othello's
occupation is gone, i'll the bar-rooms,
during this hot weather, and strong
liquor is scarce md hard to get at.
and money much more so, we would
recommend the following as cheap
and pleasant substitute for the prohi-
bition drinks. Six quarts of it costs
about forty cents. The following are
the ingredients: Jamaica Ginger
root, two ounces, well bruised; cream
tartar, one ounce; tartaric acid, two
drachms; sugar, one pound; the rind
of one lemon; one tablespoon fullDf
yeast; six quarts OF water. Put the
ginger, cream tartar and sugar in six
quarts of water, and boil five mi
nutes; then strain and pour into an
earthen vessel, into which you have
previously put the tartaric acid ana
lemon rind; let it remain till luke
warm; then add one tablespoon full
of yeast, and stir well; strain again,
after which, bottle for use. Secure
the corks we'll with twine, and put in
a warm place. 1t will be ready for
use in two or three days.
