short Rules in Rural Economy.

Short Rules in Rural Economy.
Paint all tools exposed to the weather,
and if with light colored paint, they will
not heat, warp or crack in the sun.
Dip well-seesoned shingles in lime
wash, and dry them before laying, and
they will last much longer, and will not
become covered with moss.
In hitching horse to common rail
or worm fence, always select the inside
corner, which will be more secure by its
bracing position, and the halter will not
become entangled among the projecting
ends of the rails, as when hitched on the
outside corner.
Always tie halter by first making
single loop, thrusting the end of the hal
ter through this loop. This is quickly
united, and will never come united of it.
self.
Dip the ends of nails into grease, and
they will drive easily into any hard
wood, where they would otherwise double
and break.
In screwing nuts into any parts of ma
chinery in cold weather be careful not to
heat them first with the hands, or they
will contract after being screwed on tight,
and become immovable afterwards.
In ploughing or teaming on the road
in hot weather, always rest your horses
on an eminence. One minute there will
be worth two in a warm valley.
In setting out young orchards, always
register the varieties Immediately in a
book, where they may be referred to ina
few years when the trees commence bear
ing, and the labels are lost and henames
are forgotten.
In laying out garden for fruits and
vegetables, place everything in drills or
rows, so that they may be cultivated by
a horse, and thus save the expense of
hand labor.
When board fences become old, and
the boards begin to come off, nail upright
facing strips upon them against each post,
and the boards will be held to their place,
and the fence last several years longer.
Hens do much better when their eggs
are used in the family than when they
are sold.
The only way to keep up flock of
sheep, large or small, is to Gull out the
old and infrm every fall

A CHEMICAL TEsT.-The science of
chemistry has been put to hard test
lately in Prussia. AT the bank of pro-
vincial town there appeared peasant
with an odd mass of pulp, requesting
the cashier to change that for him. On
close examination, one little scrap was
found containing the number of ten
thaler bank-note the rest was pulp, and
nothing could be made of it. The poor
peasant then explained matters. He
had brought eighty thalers in bank-notes
from the market, and had lost the little
bundle in the stable. There an eager
goat found it and proceeded calmly to
eat it up. The peasant having become
aware of his loss, rushed back into the
stable, and just entered it in time to see
the last morsel of ten-thaler note dis
appearing. His wife, wise woman, ad-
vised him to kill the goat at once. This
he had done, and here was the result
All the printing having been almost en-.
tirely obliterated, the question had aris-
en- whether it might be possible to restore
some portions of it by chemical agencies,
or to discover by means of powerful
microscope traces which to the naked eve
are invisible The peasant, in the inter.
val, has received the value of the one
note and promise that everything pos
sible shall be done for him as to the 9TH
ers.

EEsONE WASHINGTON.
The Rejection of Stanbery.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The Senate had
an Executive session this afternoon, lasting
over an hour, during which Mr.. Stanbery' $
nomination was thoroughly discussed and
severely handled by Mr.. Wiley, who charg-
ed that he was far worse than President
johnson, as he had always advised him to
goto greater extent in his excesses than he
had ventprcd to do, aud that to confirm
such man would be to grant most unlimi-
ted license to Mr.. johnson to renew his out
RACES upon the laws and Constitution. On
the vote being taken, the nomination was
rejected by 90 to H. 1t is understood that
the minority voters arc Senators Buckalew,
Doolittle, Fowler, Henderson, Hendricks,
johnson, MOreery, Patterson of Tennessee,
Ross, Sherman and Vickers. Messrs Trum-
bull, Fessenden and Van Wrinkle went out
of the Senate Chamber as soon as the case
was taken up, thus dodging the question,
much to the disgust Of Messrs. johnson and
Stanbery.
THE TAX BILL
Is going to have very hard time of it, with
the chances against its final passage this
session, as nearly every section is develop
ing more or less opposition or diversity OF
opinion. 1t is hardly probable that the
House will agree to an isolated bureau, and
make its head absolute, with power of re-
moval and appointments, as the President
can suspend that head as soon as Congress
adjourns, and thus seize upon the entire
patronage himself. 800 ....

Hon. James buchanan, the 10th President
of the United States, and one OF the distin.
guished statesman of past age, died at his
residence at WheatlanG, near this city, at
about half. past eight o'clock this morning.
The immediate cause of his death was drop
sy of the chest About fortnight ago, he
had been very ill, but in conversation
with his brother, Rev. Edw. Buchanan, we
understood that he had so much improved
as to be considered out of danger; and, in
deed, such an announcement had been pub
licly made by frierds who had visited him,
andwe had not heard of any unfavorable
change until the announcement of his death.
Mr. Buchanan was born in Franklin coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, on the 22d of April, l791,
and had therefore entered. upon the 18th
year OF his age. His father had emigrated
IRON Ireland, but his mother was the daugh-
ter OF Pennsylvania farmer. The father,
Dy untiring industry, was enabled to give
bis son good classical education, and he
graduated at Dickinson College, Carlisle, in
1909, with the highest honors of his class
In the same year he commenced the study
of law with James Hopkins, Esq, and was
admitted to the bar in 1912, having then
barely attained his majority. His success as
a lawyer was such, that at the age of 40 he
was enabled to retire from practice; and it
is stated that only on one occasion could he
subsequently be induced to appear at the
bar, and that was to defend the rights of
O widow whose little property was threaten
ed with an action of ejectment
Mr. Buchanan was member of The State
Legislature at the age of 20, and elected TO
Congress in the year 1920. In 1925 he was
one of the Managers chosen to prosecute in
the celebrated Peck impeachment case. At
the close of his fifth term, in 1881, Mr.. Blu
chanan Withdrew from Congress, but was soon
after chosen, by President jackson, as Min
lister to Russia. On his return from Russia,
in 1888, he was elected to the United States
Senate, where he remained until appointed
Secretary of State by President Polk At
the close of Mr.. Poik's administration, Mr..
Buchanan retired to private life, where he
remained until appointed by President
Pierce, as Minister to England. He return.
ed to the United States in April, 1866
Most of our readers will recolect the enthu-
sastic reception given him by our citizens,
at the locomotive works, where he debark-
ed from the train. In June following be
was unanimously nominated at Cincinnati,
as the Democratic candidate for the Presi.
dency, and was elected, receiving ia elec.

The political events which followed are
still fresh in the minds of the people, and
some of the bearings of political questions
arising under his administration being still
unsettle, the time has not yet come for an
impartial judgment of his motives and con.
duct as a public man. We commit these to
