Dir. JoHS BULL-Dear Sir; Last February

Bitters.
My son-in-law, who was with me in the

some time, commenced on the Bitters, and
soon found his general health improved.
DR.. Gist who has been in bad health, tried
them, and he also improved.
Dir. Coffee, who has been in bad health for
several years-Stomach and liver affected
he improved very much by the use of your
Bitters. Indeed the Cedron Bitters has
given you great popularity in this settle
ment. th.nk | could sell great quantity
of your medicines this fall-especially of
your Cedron Bitters and Sarsaparilla. Ship
me via Memphis, care of Rickett ana Neely
Respectfully, c. b. WALKER.

JACK Hamilton and Gen Hoar.

Jack Hamilton and Gen EEOar,
a fierce interview took place between
Jack Hamilton and Attorney-General
Hoar on Tuesday last, and the following
conversation is said to have occurred:
Hamilton-"I called Mr.. Attorney
general to inquire Shether it is true that
you intend to appoint Mr.-for the
Texas?
Attorney general Yes, sir, have al
ready made out his nomination"
Hamilton-"Then, l think it my duty
to say that he is a bad man, and not fit
to hold the Office"
Attorney -General-''I had heard that
you were opposed to him, aud was not
surprised, as also hear that you are go
ing over to the copper heads"
Hamilton-'tG-d d-n you, or any
man, uhoimpugns my political motives
Where were you when the war was rag
ing? What were you doing that justi-
ges your blatant Unionism to-day? Dis
pepsing the only law you know-Massa-
chusetts law-whilst | was risking my
life in behalf of the Union. As you do
not know what is decent or we'll bred in
your intercourse with gentlemen, I will
not trouble you further, but will go to
your master.
So saying Jack struck of, leaving the
respectable Massachusetts pettifoger in a
bewilderment of rage aud astonishment:
and proceeding to the White House laid
the>case before Grant and had the ap-
poiutment annulled. 1t is said Jack is
pretty certain to be elected Governor of
Texas, and this interview viii not set him
back much.

AGRICULTURAL.

MANURE FOR POTATOES ex-
change says the following recipe for rails
ing potatoes is worth the price of any
paper for one year TO any farmer that is
short of manure II is as good as the
besSsuperphosphate of lime, and it will
not cost half so much. 1t has been tried
two years, and is good on dry land.
Take one cask of lime and slack it
with water, and then stir in one bushel
OF fiae salt, and then mix in loan or
ashes enough so that it will not become
mortar it will make about five barrels,
Put in half q pint in hill in planting.
All manures containing potash arc par
ticularly suitable for potatoes. Ashes
contain more than any other natural fer
tilizer, and should be freely used and
carefully saved. Any farmer seeing the
analysis of the ashes of potatoes, can
readily imagine what fertilizers produce
the greatest effect, and what the plant
most needs.
ORCHARD CATERPILLAR.-This in
sect comes and goes lis abundant in
some years, and in others nearly disap-
pears. Where the miller or moths have
left their rings or eggs on the shoots of
trees, now is the time to destroy them.
A practiced eye will see almost at sin
gle glance if there are any ON tree, by
the swelling or knob which each one
gives to a shoot Select u dark or cloudy
day, or else a day when the sky is en-
tfrely clear, avoiding thin, bright clouds,
which viii dazzle and hurt the eyes, and
cut off every shoot which contains the

single clip of the orchard sheers on
pole will prevent destructive nest OF
these depredators next season. =
Work IN THE CELLAR.-Apples and
potatoes can be picked over to good ad-
vantage. No fruit or vegetables should
be allowed to decay in the cellar, if for
no other reason than the foul. poisonous
air and gasses which arise from them.-
The American Farmer says, we hear
much complaint of frost bitten potatoes
commencing to rot in the cellar. They
should be picked out at once.
THE London Gardner says: fEarthing
up potatoes diminishes the product and
retsrds the ripenine of the tubers. Long
experiments in England have proved this
fact-that hilling up the potato will re-
duce the crop one-fourth."
MANY methods of preserving eggs
have been recorded, but that used on
large scale in the provisioning of Paris
is described as the most sure. The eggs
are plunged in wire baskets, each hold
ing a dozen, in cauldrons of boiling
water, during about minute. a thin
layer of the egg coagulates on the in
ner surface of the shells, and prevents
the infiltration of air, which is speedily
fatal to the freshness of the egg.
PoTATeEs should be kept in the dark
Rural housekeepers do not need to be
told this, but many others who live in
towns and cities should know that po-
tatoes exposed to the light for a day
only have their favor injured, and the
longer exposed the worse they are

The proprietor of this celebrated medi-

all remedies ever offered to the public for
the safe, certain, speedy, and permanent
cure of Ague and Fever, or Chilis and Fever,
whether Of short or long standing. He re-
fers to the entire Western and Southwest
ern country to bear him testimony to the
truth of tie assertion, that in no case what
ever will it fail to cure, if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out. In a
great many cases a single dose has been
Sufficient for q cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with
perfect restoration of the general health
1t is, however, pradent, and in every case
more certain 10 cure, if its use is continued
in smaller doses for week or two after the
disease has been checked, more especially in
dificult and long standing cases. Usually,
