WELL SAID.-The Native Virginian says
friend in Richmond closes recent letter thus:
''By the way, what is to become of the ladies
and gentlemen of Virginia, born to afHuence, with
refined tastes, but now bereft of means? j wish
you would treat the subject, as you can 80 well,
in your paper"
There is but one way to treat the subject.
We know young gentleman in whose veins the
best blood of Virginia and South Carolina is
mingled He was good soldier, for he loves
war ard hates farming. On the hottest days in
summer we have seen him, hoe in hand, sleeves
rolled up, arms bare to the elbow, working like
a steam engine from dawn until dark. This
man, by pluck, by industry, and by prudence
will win back what his fathers won before him
by means of the same qualities. Not the pride
Of race but the strength of blood, will make him
master again. Such man toW not be kept
down AS for those Virginia ladies and gentle
men who win not stoop to conquer, (that fact
alone throws doubt on the purity of their
blood, } they will live and die miserably, and
their children will be ehambermaids and hostlers
to the defendants of Yankee settlers.

UNCONDITIONAL AMNESTY The National
Intelligencer advocates the unconditional pardon
of Mr. Davis, General Lee, and all the rest of
the Confederates who were excepted in the last
proclamation of the President 1t says: "If
the present President shall leave this matter in
its present unsettled condition, we have strong
suspicion that Gen. Grant will, by prompt act
of amnesty dispose Of each and all the remaining
cases. Such proclamation might he held by
some to justify what Mir johnson has already
done but there are far more who would say that
what the one had lacked the decision to deal
with had been acted upon by the other with
vigor and statesmanlike decision"
TIf Andrew johnson had had the courage to
do right, he would have pardoned Davis and
Lee long ago.

we are induced again to allude to that wonder

substance almost always associated with carbolic
acid, aud under the hdde name of "Creslyc Soap"

We have employed this soap to rid our shelves
of ants, our cupboards of cockroaches, poultry Of

How TO JUDGE PoULTRY.-As Christmas
is approaching the following hints in regard to
the selection ofpoultry may be regarded as sea
sonable:" -F
A young turkey has smooth leg and soft
bill, and the eyes bright and the feet moist. Old
turkeys have soaIy, stiff feet Young fowls have
tender skin, smooth legs, and the breast bone
yields readily to the pressure Of the finger The
best are those that have yellow legs. The feet
and legs of the old fowl look as if they had seen
hard service in the world. Young ducks feel
tender under the wing, and the web is transpar-
ent The best are thick and hard on the breast.
Young geese have bills, and the feet are yellow
and supple; the skin may be easily broken by the
head of pin; the breast is plump and the fat
white. An old goose is unfit for the human
stomach.

BEWARE OF BENZINE.-From the facility
with which it removes grease spots from fabrics,
this substance has come to be regarded almost as
household indispensable. But few persons,
however, realize the explosive character of ben
zine or the dangers attending the careless hand
ling Of the liquid. Being the most volatile and
inhamrable product resulting from the distilla-
ton of petroleum, itvaporizes with great rapitity
so that the contents of four ounce vial if over
turned, would render the air of modcrate-sized
room highly explosive. The greatest care
should be exercised in handling this substance
in proximity to fire, and it is important to re-
member that the vapor escaping from an uncork.
ed bottle will cause fame to leap over space
of several feet.-The .Scieatfc Anaericdn.
