John Chinaman has got tired OF
"taxation without representation"
by the Copperheads Of the Pacific
Coast, and has determined to resist
the payment of the "head tax" by
which he has been robbed Of untold
sums for a number Of years. Cop
perhead County officers in that re-
giOn have been in the habit of squeez-
ing all their whiskey-money out of
these people, and collecting the same
tax over and over again, whenever
they got dry and wanted a drink.
This now bids fair to be reformed.
The Chinese have made upan appeal
case in Idaho to go to the Supreme
Court of the United States. There
can be no doubt whatever OF the re-
suit. The tax will be declared to be
unjust, unnecessary and unconstitu-
tiOnal.--Udwkeye.

Outspoken, Anyhow.

The Mobile Tribune is an able pa
per, and its editor is a frank, outspo-
ken Democrat. From the last issue
we clip the subjoined extract, which
gives the truthful view Of Democrat
ic intentions, without discrimination
or cOnccalment. The Tribune says:
"If a true Southern man has any
political status in national sense,
he is q Democrat. The only men at
the North with whose views he hon
estly comedies, are those who during
the war were called "Copperheads, =
and who since the conclusion OF the
war have protested and voted against
all the enactments Of q corrupt Con-
gress. The true Democrat believes
that the Rsco,askyuction lars o,tyht to

occasion to cough; whereupon the
sexton said:
"Why, doctor, you have taken cold;

"LOok here, Mr.. SEXTON" said the

"what is your fee for interment?"
"One dollar" was the reply.

Putlfng Pickles.

In the Rural Of August 7th, c., of
Manchester, Ohio, asks for the best
method of puttingup pickles. Now,
if my way is not the best, it is one
with which l am well satisfied, and
is worthy a trial:-Wash the cucum-
bers, put them in a jdr, sprinkle on a
little salt, and pour On boiling water
enough to cover them. Let them
stand until cold; then drain off the
water, and repeat, until they have
been scalded five times. Then scald
them in brass kettle, in good cider
vinegar, mot too sharp alum in due
proportion, small tablespoonful OF
allspice and a few pepper-corns, and
you will have pickles equal to any
you can buy, and that will keep the
year round as crisp as when first put
up.-M., Burn Hills. N. Y.

Use Of Ravvlnide.

a skin of an animal, whether cow,
calf, colt or horse, that dies on the
farm, is worth more at home than at
the tannery. Cut them into narrow
strips, and shave off the hair with a
sharp knife, before the kitchen fire,
or in your workshop, stormy days
and evenings. You may make them
soft by rubbing. a rawhide halter
strap, an inch wide, will be stronger
and last longer than an inch rope. 1t
is stronger than hoop iron, and more
durable, and may be used to hoop
dry casks and boxes, and for hinges.
Try it upon a broken thill, or any
woodwork that is splintered. Put
it on wet and nail it fast. Thin skins
make the best Of bag-striDgs. A
rawhide rope Is good substitute for
q chain. 1t is valuable to mend a
broken trace-chain. For some pur-
poses it is best to use it in its natural
state. For other purposes it may be
dressed sOft.-Fhcts for Farmers.

stains ON Linen.

All cloths subject to be stained, such
rs table linens, napkins, children's
clothes, towels, etc., ought to be ex-
amined before being put into any
wash-mixture or soap suds, AS these
render the stain permanent. Many
stains will yield to good washing in
pure, soft, warm water. Alcohol will
remove almost any discoloration.
Almost any stain, or iron mould, or
mildew, may be removed by dipping
in moderately strong citric acid, then
covering with salt and keeping in
the sun. This may require to be re-
peated many times, but with us has
never failed.-Er.

Answer 10 Prayer.

A correspondent of the New York
Independent, writing from Anderson
vile, the locality made UNANIMOUSLY
immortal by the great prison-pen Of
forty-four thousand of the boys in
blue, in stockade where the space
allowed to each man was one foot by
six, says:
"Many wells still remain, which
were dug by the prisoners. varying
from II to IS feet in depth, now dry,
and said never to contain much wa
ter. At one time they were famish-
ing with thirst. All means had
failed to supply them. What could
they do? They had a great and earnest
prayer meeting. To God did they
cry for water. Now mark the result.
That very night terrible rain storm
came on, such as this country some
times witnesses. The wind howled
among the trees, and the rain poured
down in torrents. Amid the dark
ness of that terrible night, b the reb-
els, many Of our prisoners escaped.
the torrents OF water quilted deep
down yonder hillside, inside the
stockade. In the morning pure
spring of water was running from
that excavations; and it continued to
run while the prisoners abode there.
And still this "Providential Spring.

sacred water. Let skeptics laugh, il

The water Of a cistern near Nash
vile having acquired a singular fla
vor, some of it was analysed by two
young physicians, who gave it as
their decided opinion that a stream
Of pure chalybeate water had burst
through the walls of the cistern, and
changed the taste of its contents. All
the people in the neighborhood were
well satisfied with the decision, and
continued to use the water. Recently
the cistern was cleaned out, and the
