Mugly is a genius, if there ever was one.
soon had the pleasure of aiding him to i'm
prove his outward appearance to some
extent. One day in my conversation with
him ! discovered that he was a good
accountant, and the thought occurred to me
that might help him to earn money in this
way. So employed him to transciribe for
me great rumber of letters and accounts
which had, and of which told him that I
desired to have duplicates, and for this
I paid him some money which
he expended in arraying him
self in decent clothing, and q
change for the better seemed to come
over the man as soon as he was thus lifted
out of the squalid misery in which l had
found him. But this improvement was only
temporary. He suddenly ceased to call
upon me; missed him from his accus-
toned haunts, and fortnight passed away
without my hearing word from him. But
one night when was sitting over my pint
of sherry after dinner at the Cafe Royal
Mugly presented himself before me. All
his new clothes were gone; he wore the
very rags he had sported on the night of our
first acquaintance, and his face was marked
with the same expression Of misery that had
then awakened my sympathy. I was
shocked, and to tell the truth somewhat
disguised with this relapse, and suppose
my face expressed something of my feelings.

ooLoRED MEN VOTING pEAcEAsLY.

The Rebel efforts to get up riot in JEFF
ferson and Carrollton last night have
proved signal failures. By alsehood and
Misrepresentation they have succeeded in
having some quiet and peaceable Repub-
licans arrested, and have thus deprived the
party of their votes and services; but
other Republicans, like true soldiers of
liberty and law have filed their places,
and loyal men are far ahead in votes.
Hundreds of colored men have been
shamefully deprived of their votes, but the
Republicans are still several hundred
ahead in jefferson and Carrollton.

Disfranohised Democrats Voting
Retel Commissioners on High Horses

ST. MARTINsvILLE, April IS, 1868.
More than a hundred Republican voters,
who presented themselves at the polls with
the proper registration certificates, were
refused the right of voting by the rebel
Commissioners of election.
At st. Martinsville the Commissioners are
proceeding SO slowly that upward of one
hundred and fifty Republicans will not have
an opportunity to vote before the polls
close.
ALI the Democrats who presented them
selves, whether disfanchised or not, have
already voted.
The rebel Commissioners are riding a
high horse, and seem determined to impede
reconstruction.

GOOD SUGGESTIONS.

The advice contained in the following par
agraphs is from an experienced poultry raiser
who made both money and reputation by
following this branch of domestic industry
Sugges tons, if followed, will enable those
who raise poultry to keep young and profita>
bic fowls instead of a great. number of old
and feeble fowls, which are not worth the
food they consume.
A pullet hatched early in the spring begins
to lay at the approach of winter, and pullets
Matched late in the summer begin to lay in
the ensuing spring, and it is by saving GER
tain proportion Of pulets from the early and
eggs, few very early hatched chickens for
catching the highest markets, and numerous
flock of chickens in the warm months, when
rearing is least precSrious.
The hen continues in her prime for two
and, at most, three years therefore, save
every year pullets equal to third of your
brood stock, selling of at trifing price the
same number of aged hens, or offering them
up in stewed dish or we'll baked pie How
ever, have no scruple about keeping heavy
sym,netrically made, splendidly feathercd
"partlet," for four years, tor the sake Of her
stock. Many farmers grumbIe about their
poultry, from not prying attention to such a
simple matter as their not looking over their
brood stock once Year, drafting all the old
danes, known by the developed scales ON
their legs, and reserving from the market
basket the most promising young pullets
raised during the season. .-. .-..r .

A New CEMENT AND BUILDING MATERIAL,
In communication to the French Academy
of Sciences, NJ. SoreI describes new cement
being basic hydrated oxychloride OF mag
nesium. 1t is obtained by Stacking magnesia
with q solution Of chooride of magnesium in
a more or less concentrated stale. The dens
er the solution, the harder it becomes on
drying. This magnesium cement is the
whitest and hardest of all those known to
this day, and it can be moul1ed like plaster
in which case, the cast acquires the hard>
ness Of marble. 1t will take any color, and
has been used by the inventor for mosaies,
limitations OF ivory, billiard balls. etc. The
new cement possesses the ageutinatiye pro.
perty in the highest degree so that solid
masses may be made with it, at very low
cost, by mixing it upon large scale with
substances of little value. One part of mag
nesia may be Incorporated with upwards of
twenty parts of sand, limestone, and other
cements will hardly admit of the incorpora>
tion Of two ar thre times their weight Of ex-
Ganeous matter ....

EARTH WORMS IN FowER POTS.

Sometimes horticultural troubles seem to
be epidemic, and we have succession of let~
tiers all Of the same purport, as is now the
case with reference to the common Earth or
Angleworm in flower pots. There is diff
ereuce of opinion in regard to the food Of
worms, some claiming that they actually eat
the Ioots Of plants, while others hold that
they live upon the decaying matter contained
in the soil. Whichever may be the case,
there is no doubt that they do much injury
in all directions they not only perforate il
with small channels. but they so compact it
that it is difficult to water plant. thorough
ly, as the water will run off by the worm
holes before the mass becomes wetted thro'.
Worms should be kept from entering the
pots, and those already in them should be
removed. Those who, in taking up plants,
use common garden soil for pottng,are quite
apt to introduce the trouble themselves. -
Potting soil should be prepared beforehand
and frequently worked over, during which
operation the worms may be seen and picked
out. Worms frequently enter pots that are
set out doors for the summer, or are plunged
in the borders. We have frequently caution
ed against this in our "Notes for the month"
The pots should be set on layer of coal
ashes, and when they are plunged, quantity
of ashes should be placed in the bottom of
the hole made for the reception Of the pot.
When pot is infested by them, it is not
very difficult to remove them. We have
found that if the earth is allowed to get so
dry as may be without injury to the plant,
the worms will usually collect together,pl OBJ
ably attracted by the moisture, Of one anoth-
er, at the bottom or sides Of the pot. By
turning the ball Of earth out Of the pot they
may be removed. This turning out the earth
from pot seems to those who never practic-
ed it, difficult operation as well as one dan>
gerous to the plant. 1t is very easily done,
and will not disturb the growth of any but
very recently pOtted plants, in which case
the roots have not Sufficiently permeated the
the earth to hold it together in ball. Spread
tue uIgcTo Ol Tue lSll BduU Of6I AhC SNAl0SS
ofthe earth, invert the pot, and hold it in the
right hand then give the edge cf the pot a
slight downward rap upon the edge Of a table
or the like, and out will come the ball, which
must be carefully received in theiel hand
A few pickings in his way, will soon free the
pots of worms. Where the trouble occurs
with plants in boxes or in tubs, some other
means must be resorted to. An infusion OF
SCOT is very disagreeabIe to them and will
drive them to the surface this, to many
plants, will act as a manure.
Lime water will kill the worms; it is made
by shaking lump Of lime of the size OF ones
fist and stirring it in pal6pl of water. When
the liquid has become perfectly clear, it may
be used in moderate quantity upon the earth
containing robust shrubs. We have no ex-
perience in its use upon tender plants, and
that must be matter of experiment.-Anser-

prominent Western Senator has stated that
ample time will be allowed the President to pre-
pare for the Impeachment trial after he shall
have been notified that such Is to be.
Blanks are being printed for the issuing OF
seats In the Senate to spectators, and there has
already been a large demand for them. As the
blanks are not yet ready, and as 1t Is probable
that the trial will not commence for at least two
weeks, these applications are rather premature.
This fact, however, does not deter parties from
applying, and the President OF the Senate, Secre-
tary OF the Senate, Sergeant-at-Arms, door
keepers, and clerks have been besieged with i'm
portunities from class OF persons who are never
satisfied with denial
Major Mcdonald, the popular and gcntlemanly
Chief Clerk Of the Senate, is having every ar
rangement made for the accommodation of the
Senators, members OF the House OF Representa-.
tives, and all others who may be in the lower
chamber. These arrangements will be perfected
after the President has signiHcd the day upon
which he will be ready.

The month Of March, since tho era OF the
Anclents, has ever been famed for its unccrtain
and variable weather-Hckle, gloomy, boisferous
and rude. Yesterday was no exceptions TO Its
general feputation. The CLERK OF the weather
was In amost frishtful humor. and throushout
the day, rain, hail, snow and sieet surfeited the
earth, and towards the close the wind chopped
out to the northwest and, to use the nautical
psriance ofJsck Mariinspike, blew great guns."
The Avenue was swept Of everything super
nuous in the matter Of loose signs, &C., and the
rattling OF housetops, trembling of chimneys,
slamming OF shutters, and the hubbub kicked up
by the high wind, was tremendous. There was
considerably more than enough Of the gale to
satisfy good folks, and they camo to the oonclu-
sion that the clerk OF the weather was terrible
fellow, when reused up. ... s.
All this, however, did not deter the reception
goers, and q great many not receptionists, from
attending the levee OF the President last night,
and In hacks, railway cars, &C., q large number
OF persons gathered at the Executive Mansion
to pay their respects to the President The
scene within doors was q brilliant one, whilst
without there was q fine opportunity for the
hsckmen to keep themselves warm by displaying
their agility dancing on the frosty pathway and
eneountering the full power Of the pitiless blast,
which swept with tremendous force through the
grounds. The carriages drove up fast and furious,
