But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi- ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent badness.

Directions for using Tin!Cans for
Fruit andVeSeIable-.

Get your fruit ready to can by pre-
pairing itas for immediate use, Except
the seasoning, put it into a lined or
tin kettle, let it come to boiling heat,
have ready a pot of boiling water, put
the tin cans into it, let them STAY one
minute-taze it out, dry it inside
quickly, put the hot fruit or vegetables
into it hastily, put on the tin top, pour
the sealing wax around the top, leav-
ing the little hole in the top open until
the sealing wax gets too hard to run,
then put some soft wax over the little
hole, then pour out that same hot wax
to secure it, and your can is ready to
set aside for winter use. Prepare the
wax by putting it to melt, with a little
bees wax, in a small tin vessel, out Of
which yen can pour it. If from the
tin surface.) The wax is good year
after year; the tin cans, by thorough
ly washing and drying them and set
ting them in dry place Immediately
on emptylng them, taking care to keep
the tops. Season your fruit and veg
etables when you take it out of the
cans, just as you would have done at
first.
Soldering the tops on ruins the can
for second use. The stone or earthen
ones are subject to air holes which
spoils the fruit, and then it is difficult
to get tops to fit securely, the uneven
surface of their top.
These directions are for those of our
Southern friends who know little of
canning fruit. By closely following
these directions, there can be no fail
ure, and every one can have as many
different kinds of vegetables on their
table in winter as summer, by raising
to can, at but little cost. Corn, toma-
toes, okra, peas, beans, as well as all
kinds of fruit are splendid.

Josh Billings Essa Onto Hogs.

Hogs generally are quadrupid.
The extreme length of their antiqui-
ty has. never been fully discovered !;
they existed a long time before the
food, and hev existed sum time since.
There is a great deal Nv internal
revenue in hog; there amt much
waste. in them than in a oyster.
Even their tales can be worked up
intew whistles.
Hogs are good quiet borders; they
alwus eat what is set before 'em, and
don't ask any foolish questions.
They never hev any diseaze but the
measles, and they never hev but once
once seems to satisfy 'em.
There is a great menny breeds
amongst them.
Some are close coporashum breed,
and agin some are built more apart,
like a hemlock slab.
They used to have a breed in New
England few years ago which they
called the striped hog breed; this
breed was in high repute with the land
lords; almost every tavern keeper had
one which he used to show travellers
and brag ON him.
Some are full in the face like town
clock, and some are as long and lean
as g cow cetcher with steel-pointed
nose onto them. ~
They kan all rute well; hog which
can't rute well, hez been-made in vain
They are short lived animal, and
generally die as soon as they git fat.
The hog can be larnt a great mennv
cunning things, such as histing the
front gate off from its hinges, tipping
over the swill barrels, and finding a
hole in the fence tew get into corn
field but thar amt eny length to their
memory, it is awful hard work for
them to find the same hole tew git out
at, especially if you are anyways anx-
ious they should
Hogs are very contrary, and seldom
drive we'll the same way you are go
ing; they drive most the contrary
way. This has never been fully. ex-
planned, but speaks volumes for the

A WONDERFUL DoME.-The Dome
of the Capitol at Washington is the
most ambitious structure in America
1t is a hundred and eight feet higher
than the Washington Monument at
Baltimore, sixty eight feet higher than
that of Bunker Hill, and twenty feet
higher than the Trinity Church spire
of New York. 1t is vast hollow
sphere of iron, weighing 100000
pounds. How much is that !? More
than four thousand tons or about the
Weightsof seventy thousand full grown
people; or about equal to a thousand
laden coal cars, which, holding four
tons apiece, void reach two miles and
half. Directly over your head is a
figure in bronze, "America," weighing
1895 pounds. The pressure of the iron
dome upon its piers and pillars, is -,
ATT pounds to the square foot St.
Peters presses nearly 10000 pounds
more to the square foot, and ST. Gen
evieve, Paris, $4,000 pounds more
1t would require to crash the supports
of our dome a pressue of 775,2S0
pounds to the square foot The cost
was about 81, 100000. The new wings
cost about 6,500,O0 The architect
has plan for rebuilding the old c. n

Mass Meeting of tine Working
Resolutions Adopted.

New YORK, July "A mass meet
ing of the working men was held last
evening at the Cooper Institute, under
the auspices of the National Labor
Union, at which the following resolu-
tons among others, were adopted:
Resolved, That the national honor
must be preserved by paying its debts
in good faith, and that every debt of
the Government, not specifically con
tracted, be paid in the lawful currency
of the United States; that the bonds,
when redeemable, should be paid in
legal tender notes, or exchanged for
other bonds, at three per cent, con-
vertible into lawful money, at the
pleasure of the holders.
RESOLVED, That the public interest
demands the withdrawal of the circu-
lation of the National Banks and the
substitution of the legal tender Treas
ury certificates in their stead.
Resol0ed, That we demand equal
taxation on every species of property
according to it's real value.
Resol0ed, That no more of the pub
lie domain shall be granted to any
corporation under any pretext what
ever, and all the lands not disposed OF
should be withdrawn from the market,
and granted only in small quantities
to actual settlers.

Every week, or so, we hear of the
suspension of Radical Paper in some
part of the South The latest one re-
ported is that of the organ of the
Radical party in Mississippi. 1t was
probably scared into this eminently
fitting procedure by the late unex-
pected development of Democratic
strength in that State. Notwithstand-
ing the patronage and encouragement
given to Radical papers in the South
by the military authorities, they can
not live there 1t is not the place for
them. The people are too decent, too
honest, too upright to give them
countenance or support, Consequent
~, they are driven to suspension, and
probably some of their publishers
will follow suit, some day. Should
they do so, the world will, we hope,
get on pretty well without them

PEACHES RemunerotiUe Iprices.--The
World chronicles the sale of a cargo
of peaches, from Columbus, Ga, in
New York the 22d ult, at $25 crate.
A crate contains a bushel. These
peaches were from "Esquiline Hill, %
the farm of Major R. j. Moses, some
four miles from Columbus The fruit
intended for shipment is gathered be-
fore-it is quite ripe. That sold thus
far in New York is said to have been
of excellent quality. The World states
that the peach crop this year has been
in some cases a failure in the States of
Delaware and New Jersey, and New
Jersey, and New York must depend
for a supply upon the orchards of
Sou h Carolina and Georgia. The
journal recommends the introduction
of good steamers with decent ventila-
ton to carry fruit from the South to
the North.

From the Memphis Avalanche, 3D..
Adventures of "a Disgraced Ex.
Officer.

The following appeared in Mem
phis Radical newspaper concern day
or two since: t'is-'
"Major w eisman,. formerly Assist
ant Adjutant General of the Second
Division of the Fourteenth Army
Corps of the Army of the Cumber
land, called upon US today. He has
been living at fernando, Mississippi,
and for some time acting as United
States Commissioner Finding him
self in constant peril of his life from
the rebels, for the exercise Of the sim
plest rights of a citizen, he has con-
cluded to leave for Gods country.
The Major at the opening of the war
was strong Peace Democrat, but the
rebels have converted him into
thorough Radical"
We happen to know something of
this 'sMaior" Weisman. Some months
since he he'd position in the Freed
mems Bureau, at fernando. 1t com
ing to light that he had swindled the
Government, file of soldiers were sent
from Vicksburg to arrest and take him
to headquarters. The scoundrelism
was proved, but the contents of Weis-
mans carpet bag failed to yield any
thing with which to force restitution.
After being kept in prison awhile he
was dishonorably dismissed from the
service, and ordered to leave. He re-
turned to Hernandez, and his ability to
furnish evidence of being a thief in
creased his popularity among the
''trooly loir' Of that latitude. His
disqualifcations for carpet bag mem
bership of the Mississippi Legislature
being undoubted, he became a candi-
date, and commenced counting the
negroes as vigorously as he had swim
died them before. A short time prior
to the election, he started to Senatobia
to speak, but, learning that two men
there had threatened to whale him
for swindling them, he returned, an
nounced his withdrawal from the can
vass, and his determination to act in
future with the Democracy.
Last Monday night, about twelve
o'clock, he filled a wagon with every
thing of value he possessed that could
be crowded into it, stealthily left Her
nando, arriving at Horn Lake before
daylight. The morning found him
at the depot, awaiting transportation,
and the Major and his "plunder''
were brought to the city. Early that
morning the news spread through III Ter
nando that Welsman, whose promises
to change the negroes from Radicalism
were SO fresh in the public mind, had
absquatulated. A couple of merchants
with whom he had forgotten, in the
hurry of departure, to settle, attached
the remaining effects, and score or
two of other persons, similarly over
looked by this "trooly loil" gentle
man, indulged recklessly in fgurative
language because they didn't discover
his hegira in time.
Weisman's first thought on arriving
here was to rush to one of the Radical
organs and open his budget of lies for
the Northern consumption. Goods
country is welcome to all "sich."

TESTIMONY OF A GALLANT AND GEN
ERoUs FoE.-The following is from
late number of the Galveston News:
Gen Byrne, United States Marshal
for the Eastern District of Texas,
made a happy hit,in responding to the
call made for him at the public meet
ing, last Saturday night He said that
he had fought for the Union through
out the war, but sheathed his sword
on the surrender of Gen. Lee, and had
found none but friends in the South
since He marched through Texas in
1865, and found that the people were
universally glad to hail the restoration
of peace, and met him and his soldiers
everywhere in friendship, and hailed
the old flag as an omen of the restora-
ton of the Union as it was before the
rebellion. He blamed no man who
had fought for his section, but respect
ed the feeling which prompted man
kind to love the land of their nativity
and defend 1t, whether right or wrong.

SIDEWALK ETIQUETTE.-Some of cur
Chesterfeldian exchanges have the
following on sidewalk etiquette, which
we commend to the attention ofsour
readers:
ssOnly villagers, or persons with ru-
raj ideas, any longer contend that Ia
dies should always be given the inside
of the pavement in passing. The rule
adopted in all cities, is to turn to the
right whether the right leads to the
wall or the gutter and an observance
of this common sense rule would OBJ
viate much unpleasant scourging, by
over gallant gentlemen, who persist
emily crowd for the outside of the
walk. Another custom, not required
by fashionable etiquette, and which is
nearly as inexplainably absurd, is the
practice of men filling a church pew,
making themselves as ridiculous as an
"awkward squad practicing catch
step, in order to give woman the
wrong end of pew. Another is that
of man, when at promenade or walk
with lady, to keep himself on the
outside of the pavement. A little ex-
ercise of judgment will convince any
person of the perfect uselessness of
this bobbing back and forth at every
corner. The common rule is this If
men and women are walking together,
she should always be at his right arm,
whether it be toward the inside or out
side of the walk; then the woman will
not be showed against the passers.-
Those who giggle at persons who fol
low this rule are themselves the green
ies,' and should read the book of man
ners before they indulge in a laugh at
fashionable fools"
