THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY AND ITS FIVE SAT-
uRDAYs.-This being leap year, the present
month, February, has twenty-nine days, and as
it was ushered in on Saturday, it will take its
departure on The same day, so there will be
five Saturdays in this, the shortest month OF
the year. This may seem somewhat singular
and curious, and has been noted as such. 1t
may be inquired in what number of years will
the like happen again. The answer is easy.
1t will happen again in 1896, after the lapse
of twenty-eight years. At the next leap year,
in 1872, there will be five Thursdays in Febru-
ary; in 1876, five Tuesdays; in 1880, five Sun
days; and so On, retrogression Of two days in
the week for every leap year for seven returns,
until Saturday recurs again in 1896, when there
will be five Saturdays.

Some time ago, it will be remembered, it was
stated in The DAILY NEWS, that the military
authorities had under consideration the re-
moval of Mayor Gainard, and the appointment
in his place of some one who could take the
iron-clad oath; and that, though the removal
might be deferred for some weeks, we had
reason to believe that, eventually, it would
certainly take place. Our city contemporaries
we're incredulous, and one OF them went so far
as to fatty deny the correctness Of our state
ment; but the result will justify our predic-
tions.
Itwas we'll understood last evening that Gen.
eral Candy had issued an order making the re-
moval, and appointing Breyet Brigadier-G Gene
raj ". W. Burns, who has hitherto filled the
position of Chief Commissary on the Depart
ment Staff. to be the new Mayor of the City oil
Charleston.
Our views in regard to military appointments
to civil Office are too we'll known to need repe-
tition; but, if we must have military mayor,
we regard it as fortunate that the choice should
have fallen upon an officer so courteous, intel
ligent and capable rs General Burns, in all his
intercourse with our citizens, has shown him.
self to be.
We presume that the order of General Canby
will be made public to-day.

From the Independent
a Radical View OfBricls E'omeroy,

One of the most remarkable achievements
in American journalism is the success o. the
La Crosse Dem0crdt Its editor and proprie.
tor earned a dreadful notoriety during the
war by the violence and malignity of his
unpatriotic denunciations and abuse OF
everybody who in any manner contributed
to support the Union and suppress the
rebels. Vallandigham, of Ohio, and Cover
nor SEYMOUR of New York, were but mild
types of envenomed Democrats, compared
with the editor of the La Crosse Democrat. -
A journal like his, published in the North
west, in the midst of a loyal people, ought
to soon have come to griet; but 1t flourish
ed like a green bay tree, because it was bad
enough to meet the longings of large and
vile part of the community, who could
nowhere else find the same bold utterances
of their vile sympathies. 1t was tinctured
with every vicious and abominable attribute
that caused the rebellion, and consolidated
into a compact party the Democratic senti'
ment of the North and the South. The sue
cess of the La Crosse Democrat has filed the
Democratic journals of New York with a
desire to profit by its example; and they
have been trying to rival it, but without sue
cess. Imitators can never be equal to their
original, for the reason that they are never
sincere. The proprietor of the La Crosse
paper came down to New York to print his
Journal here and soon after his arrival in
the city he called at one of the most exten-
sive job printing offices to see about making
terms for the publication of the Democrat
Calling for the head of the concern, the
manager came forward, when the following
brief conversation ensued:
Good morning, sir. Iwant to get some
work done. My name is Pomeroy."
"Pomeroy All Arc you the person they
call Brick Pomeroy 7"
II am."

temporary extends an invitation to the fair
sex to send in proposals, giving the follow
ing specifications
The undersigned, feeling the need of
some one to find fault with and grumSle at

ing lonely, with no one to hate him, and

Der, 1868.

purposes.
Nor trade off my clothes to wandering
Italians for flower vases.

SIZE must believe in sudden attacks of
chills, and make allowances for their effect
upon the nervous system.
When her "od bear comes home from
"a few friends" rather atfectionate she must
not take advantage of his state, and wheedle
him into trips to watering places.
And above all, she must not, on such oc-
casions, put ipecac into the tea she pre-
scribes for his poor head"
A lady possessing the foregoing qualifca-
tions, positive and negative, can hear of
something to her advantage by addressing
the undersigned, enclosing u stamp.
All proposals must be accompanied with
satisfactory evidence of the ability of the
applicant to support husband in the style
to which he has been accustomed.

A Talk with Nlr. stevens.

A correspondent of the New York Tri.
bHne, who had talk with the late Hon.
Thaddeus Stevens a short time before his
death, gives the following as portion of
his conversation
1.-THE greatest qualification of my life re-
suited from my ability to give my mother a
farm of two hundred and fifty acres, and a
dairy of fourteen cows and an occasional
bright gold piece, which she loved to de
posit in the contribution box of the Baptist
Church which she attended. My mother
was a very extraordinary woman, and have
met very few women like her. My father
was not well to.do man, anG the support
and education of the family depended on
my mother. She worked night and day to
educate me. l was feeble and lame in my
youth, and as l couldn't work on the farm
she concluded to give me an education |
tried to repay her afterward, but the debt
of a child to his mother, you know, is one
of the debts we can never pay. Poor woman,
the very thing did to gratify her most
FASTENED her death. She was very fond of
her dairy and fond of her cows, and one
night going out to look after them she fell
and injured herself SO that she died soon
after" had heard the fact mentioned that
Mr. Stevens had on one occasion given 500,
600 to the poor of Lancaster county. 1T is
not true" he said. 81 have never been able
to do any such thing. I have been failure
iE everything. l have failed financially three
times. The first was through going bal

was through the carelessness of q partner in
some iron mills Notes were presented to
me for payment which had never executed
or known of. | went to my partner and
asked how it was. He explained that he
had been losing money for some time, but
as he had induced me to embark in the
enterprise he had not the courage to tell mt
! of the losses, and had signed the firm name

Climatic Cur'iOsiaies.

The changes in country's climate by
settlement and cultivation of the soil often
seem strange and inconsistent. A letter from
a late traveller in Nebraska notes some curl.
Gus contrasts at is a frequent subject OF
remark in the Ohio Valley that settling the
country, clearing and ditching the land con-
stanty makes it dryer that old wells and
springs are drying up, and each succeeding
summer, branches run dry which never did
before. The French Agricultural Report
makes the same complaint, and calls upon
the Government 20 stop the destruction of
the forests, as the means of preserving the
rivers. But here, with settlement, exactly
the reverse phenomena are presented, and
the quantity of rain in Western Nebraska
and Kansas has doubled within the memory
of man. Perhaps this is due somewhat to
the trees planted on new farms, but | think,
also, that breaking up the sod allows it to
absorb more moisture than it could in the
prairie state, and in many instances turning
a hundred acres of sod will renew AN old
spring. Fresh branches are starting in gul-
lies which have been dry for hundreds, per
haps thousands of years. Thus, springs
break out in the thirsty wilderness, and
streams of water in the dry ground Here is
an important principle at work, which will
enable agriculture to make great advances
on what is now the American desert" Akin
to these are the facts of heavy rains this
summer in Colorado and California, States
where the rule of dry summers seem TO have
been invariable heretofore. Who shall divine
the law of such revolutions

Potatoes IA Remedy for y.ots

Late in summer the large horse or pod
fly, is busy in laying its small yellow ecrs
on the hairs of the sides and legs of horse
which, being glutinous adhere there. The
horse, in licking himself touches the eggs,
which bursts, when small worm escapes
which adheres to the tongue and is carried
with his food to the stomach, where it
clings to the coating, and feeds and grows
there until spring, when it passes out of the
body and soon becomes fly. Youatt anG
Spooner, in .heir work on the horse claim
that bots do not injlre horse, and cannot
be removed from the stomach by medicine,
but pass away themselves in the spring
For more than fifty years l have heard of
horses, and seen them, said to be sick of the
bots, and die of them. Many, with view
to remove them, pour molasses and milk
down the throat of the horse, of which it is
said bots are fond; so that they are thus
led to let go their hold of the stomach
This is soon followed by pint of tanners
oil, or some other active cathartic, causing
the horse to discharge the bots.
When visiting a friend n few months
since, worthy brother clergyman, he in
formed me that horse having died of the
bots in his nei2hborhUod, his stomach hav-
ing been eaten through and through by
them, some of them were put in spirits of
turpentine and other fluids commonly fatal
to the life of worms and insects, but did
not suffer from them. They were then put
in the juice of the common potato, and died
instantly. Another horse in tie same neigh
borhood was suffering severely from bots,
when quart Of potato juice was poured
down his throat, which soon relieved him
of pain; and large quantity of dead bots
passed away from him.
To me this remedy was new, but it may
be commonly known to farmers. Be this
as 1T may, an important inquiry here arises,
namely, are those eminent farmers, Youatt
and Spooner right in what they say with
regard to bots and, if so, what worms are
those which, with farmers and Others, have
so long gone by the name of bots, and Of
which horses so often die, as is proved by
examining their stomachs, which are extern
sively eaten and pierced through by them.

A REMEDY FOR THE BLUEs.-When
Whitelock was about'to embark as Crom-
wells envoy to Sweden, in 1865, he was
much disturbed in his mind as he rested in
Harwich, on the preceding night, which was
very stormy, while he reflected on the dis
tracted state of the nation. A confidential
servant slept in an adjoining bed, who, find
that his master could not sleep, said:
