RPUlASI1I, TEf
FRIDAY MORNING, NOW
white za.h

At this - he year
when the a-.d a suash is
called for, de following
directions for its Dtepara,ion:
Take clean water-tight bar
rel, or other suitable caslz, and
put into it half bushel Of lime.
Stake it off by pouring water
over it boiling hot, and in sufi-
eient quantity to cover it five
inches deep, and stir it briskly
till thoroughly sIaked. When
the shaking has been thoroughly
effected, dissolve in water, and
add two pounds of sulphate of
zinc and one Of common saltg
these will cause the wash to har-
den and prevent it cracking,
which gives an unseemly appear
Tance to the work. If desirable,
a beautiful cream color may be
communicated to the above wash
by adding three pounds ofyeIIow
Ochre; or good pearl or lead
color by the addition of lamp,
vine, or ivory black. For fawn
color, add four pounds Of lumber,
Turkish or American, Che latter
is the cheapest,) one pound of
Indian red, one pound ofcommon
lamp black. For common stone
color, add four pounds Of raw
umber, and two pounds of lamp
black. This wash may be ap-
piled with q common whitewash
brush, and will be found much
superior both in appearance and
durability to the common white
wash.

Hiding TheI. zight.

The Cleveland Bansef thus
sensibly discourses upon this sub
jeet:
The man nowadays who tries
to establish a paying business
without the aid of printers ink,
is throwing away his time. In
this day and time, when the peo-
pie want anything they look in
their county newspaper TO see
no has it to sell, and they go
and buy it. The advertisement
in the PAPER saves the trouble Of
running all over town inquiring
for it. Some men, strangers, go
to a town and open a business
never advertise, though the facil-
tiles are at hand, remain a few
months and become discouraged,
then leave, cursing the town fol
being no account, when in fact
but few persons ever knew they
we're in business. IF men expect
to succeed, they must quit then
penny wise and pound foolish
policy ofkeepingt their lightundel
bushel.

Every farm should have one good
orchard, the size varying according
to the size of the farm; and this or
chard should contain a choice assort-
ment of all the leading fruits. The
farmer who to-day has on his place a
thrifty, middle-aged orchard. should
not wait until thoss trees b-gin to
fail before he sets out another one,
but should have Que started and
growing. 1t is no waste of ground,
little trouble. and small expense, and
yields sufficient to allow for three
times tie expense.

How to Measure Corn in the Crib
After leveling the corn, multiply
the length and breadth of the house
together, and TIE product by Il e
depth, which will give the cubic feet
of the bulk of corn; then divide the
last product by 70, and the quotient
will be the number OF barrels Of she'll
ed corn in the crib. If there be a
remainder after the division it will be
so many twelfths of barrel Of shelled
corn ever.

Onr Interests ID WashIngtOn.

We gave In yesterdays issue an &C
count of en- informal meeting of a
number of our most enterprising and
influential citizens at the Board of
Trade Rooms on Monday afternoon,
to meet one of the agents Of the
Treasury Department. Atthat meet
ing an important suggestion was made
as to the necessity of looking more
closely and systematically after our
interests at the National Capital.
This city has received very little con-
sideration at the hands of Congress or
the heads of Departments in the past;
and the great reason of it is that our
commerce, business, and importance
are so little known there. The fault
is not so much with the authorities al
Washington City as with ourselves
We have done nothing to make the
wants of our merchants and cipzens
known. Our Representatives have
been left almost alone in any eft
forts they have made in our be-
half. And as a natural eonss-
quence, asking nothing, we have
received very little. We want better
facilities for importing merchandise
in the shape of a custom house OIL
bonded warehouse. We greatly need
Board of Local Steamboat Inspec
tors. A United States District Court
| has been long felt to be a necessity tt
the maritime aad commercial inter
ests of Evansville. All of these are
within the ability of our city to pos
sess, and yet in an organized anC
Official capacity we are doing nothing
to secure these important matters
It was the unanimous sense of al
present at the meeting on Monday
afternoon, thata delegation of our citi
gems, selected with view
to their efficiency and influence
with members of Congress anC
the Departments, should b.
appointed to go to Washington Git
and assist our Senators and Repre-
sentatives in securing these great!
needed matters. IF the City Council
or our citizens in some authoritative
capacity, will take action upon th,
subject, and send committee Of judi
cious and influential men to Washing
ton, we are confident their visit vii
not be in vain. The subject is an i'm
portant one, and we hope it will b
properly considered, and acted upor
without unreasonable delay. Con
gress meets on the first Monday il
December, and our delegation, if it il
sent at all, should be on the ground
early in that month. -l III

Chief Justice Chase.

The following very curious letter
from Mr.. CHASE has lately found its
way into print. 1t appears in the
recently published volume of the re.
miniscences of Mr.. JAMES A. HAMrL-
TON, of New York. and is interesting
as a matter Of history. As such we
reproduce it:
HON. s. P. CHASE TO JAS. A. HAMILTON.
WASHINGTON, DC, July 10, 1862.
MY DEAR SIR: Your excellent note
is Just received. / will send it to the
President, and shall be glad if he will
read it and heed it. / have seen little
of him for some time past; when he
thinks fit to seek my counsel or to
impart mis- own, / attend his sum
mons. Otherwise. | confne myself
to my own special work. What ]
think ought to be done is so generally
left undone, and what I think ought
not to be done so generally done, that
l am led to doubt greatly the value OF
my views on any subject.
Your friend, 5. z. CHASE.
The above goes far to strengthen
the opinion of the country that Mr..
CHASE is an unsafe and intriguing
public man, and that Mr.. LINCOLN
acted with political sagacity in with
holding from him his confidence and
refusing to be controlled by his views.
History will write the characters of
these two Americans in very different
colors.

MalaFlous Rags,

Countless millions of cubic feet of mala-
rious vapor Teek from the moist earth
every twenty-four hours during the month
of November. This evaporated moisture
is the active principle which begets fever
and ague, bilious remitteutS, indigestion,
dysentery, bilious choiic, rheumatism,
and many other ailments which prevail
more generally in the Fall than at other
seasons, and some of which, in low,
sWampy regions and new cleaIings, take
the form of virulent epidemics. The best
safeguard against these complaints, as evil
denced by the experience 81 a long series
of years, is HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BTTTERS, the most pleasant and at the
same time the most efficient of all vege-
table tonics. The IMMIGRATION of the syS-
tenn is manifestiy the best means of de-
tending it against the causes of sickness,
whether constitutional or casual. Nature,
as every pathologist knows, is the most
determined enemy of disease, and the par
oxysrns of an acute malady are in most
instances the consequences of the efforts
she makes to conquer the foe. The great
object, therefore, OF preventive treatment,
is to reinforce the system, and it is accom-
pliShed thoroughly. rapidly. and safely by
the use of HOSIEITER'S BITTERS. This
powerful tonic contains also an aperieAt
and corrective principle. It is no less valu-
able as q regulator and purifier than as an
inVfgOrant, and there is no danger of ex.

PaduCah Railroad interests.

We learn from the Paducah Herald
that the owners Of the Southern
Railroad Association (Which includes
the owners of the Padueah and Gulf
ROAD, have purchased a controlling
interest in the Mississippi River Rail-
road, and will at once take active
steps towards its completion from
Memphis to Troy City, Tennessee,
then connecting with the Paducah
and Gulf Road.
Its also understood that the same
Railroad Association have purchased
a majority of the stock in the Missis-
sippi and Tennessee Road (from Mem
phis to Grenada, Mississippi, which,
when the road from Troy City to
Memphis is completed, will form a
through line from Paducah, via
Memphis, to New Orleans.

We are pleased to note the pros
poets of increased railroad facilities
to our peighboring Kentucky city,
not only because of its tendency to
add to its prosperity, but also because
its success, progress and increase of
commercial facilities will result in
benefit to the business of Evansville.
Our trade relations, both with and
through Paducah, must continue to
grow, and we are gratifed to hear of
more intimate and direct communi-

Railroad Election To.DaE.

It can hardly be necessary for US to
urge voters to go to the polls to-day,
and cast their ballots in favor of the
city's subscription of 100000 to aid
in the construction of the Carmi Rail-
road. Every one who has given the
subject the most casual reflection,
must be impressed with the vital i'm
portance Of this road to the prosperi-
ty of the city. Evansville cannot
stand still. We must go forward or
backward. All the business centres
around US are exerting themselves to
secure part Of the trade which nat
urally belongs to this city. It needs
no argu nent to our people to con-
vince them that our railroad facilities
mus De increased at a very early day,
or our trade, manufactures and
commerce will begin to languish
and desert US. This is so ap-
parent that those of our cit
liens, who were disposed to
prefer another route as the first OBJ
jeet for muDic' pal aid. have choerfully
acquiesced in tie proposition to be
acted upon to-day, and there will
probably lie no organized opposition
to the vote in favor of making the sub
scription. But it is highly desirable
that large vote should be polled in
order to demonstrate to neighboring
cities the determined and universal
resolution of our people to make
Evansville a great city, and to show
their willingness to impose upon
themselves the burdens necessary to
secure this auspicious result.
We therefore say to our citizens,
do not, By your neglect to vote o.day,
say to your neighbor and the world
that you care nothingfor the pros
perity Of your city. Go to the polls
and sIFell the majority in favor Of
progress and Improvement. He who
stays away is not the valued and sim
cere friend of Evansville.
