More About the Cheap Fuel.

For many years the people of the
Central Illinois prairies threw away
their corn cobs and hauled fuel for
miles. Some cute chap, at last, built
a tight shed, shelled his corn care
fully, and kept the cobs dry to burn.
His neighbors noted his success, and
followed it up. Now, if you go along
the Illinois Central Railroad, you
will find every farm house with its
cob-shed, and none Of them are al
lowed to go to waste, for they are
good fuel.
It is just 30 with turf fuel, only it
is not quite so easily managed as
cobs, though it is even cheaper, for
all it's cost is the labor of preparing.
The ground will not burn at all, but
only the dried fibres Of the grass
roots which have grown in it; and
the thicker the turf has grown, the
better for fuel. Sandy or gravelly
ground, of course, does not make a
good quality. The best is obtained
from a closely-fed, bluegrass past

to either buffalo or cowchips, such
as the Plains teamsters pick up to
cook with, and cut SO thin as not to
take any earth except that among
the grass roots. From one to two
inches is the proper thickness. The
Irish use a tool called a slane, for
this purpose. 1t can only be pre-
pared in a very dry time, and will
not burn well if thrown into damp
cellar, or allowed to be saturated
with moisture after storing away.
1t burns much better in stoves than
in fire-places, which are universally
in use in the mild climate of Ire
land. No more should be cut than
can be put away. 1t should be baked
up and set on edge, on poles laid on
the ground, and should be covered
from even dew. OF course it will
not burn if it gets wet; and it should
be cut into small enough pieces, 6 or
8 inches square, to handle easily and
not break up too fine. 1t makes a
very hot and enduring fire. l have
used it in my dwelling furnace, and
have known the fire to keep up IL
hours at time without looking at
or touching.
With such directions as the above,
some may succeed well; and the
large majority who try the expert
ment will fail, and get discouraged.
That's the way of the world. Still,
as there is no patent on it, and this
is a free country in some respect,
both sorts Of people may do as they
please. July, August, September
and parts of October, when it does
not rain, is the proper season to get
it ready. l was going to lay in a
large supply this fall, but the clerk

intentions and | got very little in

specdicr TeIegraphing.

Swift as Morse made the shuttle of
the telegraph, new man, named
Little, has invented an automatic
system which makes it thirty times
swifter. His system makes it posi-
BILE to transmit over ono wire as
many messages per hour as can be
sent, under the present system, over
thirty wires. The invention has
been thoroughly tested and pro-
nounced practical. A survey OF
routes for the National Telegraph
Company, which proposes to use this
system, is now being made. The old
lines will, doubtless, soon have the
system applied to their use, as it is
said the change can be made at the
moderate cost Of s4,50O,O0O. The
agent of the Associated Press, at
Chicago, has tested the new inven-
ton, and reports that two hundred
words per minute can be transmitted
on one wire over a circuit Of 1900
miles, and that boys and girls can
prepare the dispatches at the rate OF
eight hundred words each per hour.

Another "Enfcrview.o

About as good thing as we have
read of the "Stone Giant business
lately is the following report of an
"interview" held with the Cardiff
statue by reporter of the Cincinnati
Times:
Q.-Who are you?
Aim A. Sumner.

you are now?
A.-No, simply hard-c0se, that's
all. Now Pm hard all through.
Q.-Were your parents hard?
Ayes, hard of hearing.
Q.-What is your weight?

Q.-What were you petrified with?
A.-petrified with establishment.

A.-Ldying stone at present.
Q.-Got'brothers??
Ayes.
Q.-Are they like you?
Ayes, all in the stone business.
Odd that stony heart ever feel
the softening power Of love? Didst
ever have a sweetheart?
(At mention of sweetheart he
softened visibly; sigh heaved his
massive chest, while something like
a tear trickled down his stony cheeks
washing away some more gypsum,
but he quickly recovered, and was
stone again. He was silent, and
didn't press the question:
Q.-How do you feel now, any.
how?
Al feel q good deal uor1, espe-
cia!ly on my left side. Besides, j
don't like this iiOk life.
Q.-What was your drink?
A.-Stone-fence.
Q.-Would you like to throw in a
glass now?
A.--No; those who live in stone
houses shouldn't throw glass.
Q.-Was you killed in Cardiff, and
how?
Ayes, killed by the cars. Got a
car-diGin the stomach.
Q.-Was you ever rolling stone?
A.-No. And that's the way !

Q.-Hard feelings toward anybody?
A.-Yes, I'd like to punch the
head of the man that dug me up.
The interview was entirely salts

TROUBLES never come singly, but
in battalions. The Radicals are over
whelmingly defeated in this county
and even the small minority cast fol
their candidates for Supreme Court
Judges are Illegal. To prove this we
have only to refer to the recent act:
of the Legislature of Tennessee in re-
gard to the election of Supreme Court
Judges. The second section OF the
act says:
Be IL further enacted. That in voting for
six Supreme Judges in said election,
every voter shall prefix to the name o.
each candidate On his ballot the words
" EASTERN" western" or middle" dI-
vision, to denote the grand division of the
State for which he desires each candidate
elected. Said candidate shall reside In
the, division of the State for which they
were elected; and the two receiving the
highest number of votes for any one grand
division of the State shall be declared to
be two of the judges of the Supreme
Court Of the State of Tennessee.
The Radicals disregarded this Sec
ton, and voted for their candidates
for Supreme Court judges, without
prefxing to the name of each candi-
date, the division of the State in
which they resided. Notwithstand-
ing the votes cast with this omission
are obviously and unquestionably il
legal, Sheriff NJ. ]. Wright certiies
at the bottom of his official returns to
the Secretary of State, that so many
votes were cast for the Radical candi-
dates, but in violation of the above
section.

What They Are, and Who Are at Them.
From an occasional correspondent of he

From an occasional correspondent of the
APPEAL.1
CRAB ORCHARD SPRINGS, KY,
July %, 1870.
History teaches us that States, En-
pires and Provinces have their rise,
decline and fall; likewise everything
under the sun, which becomes the
fashion, be it a bonnet, an article of
furniture, or a watering place. At
first, tits all beauty to the eye, then
ashes to the taste. 1t is human ma
ture to weary of everything-of water
ing places, particularly. For instance,
We hear of the whole world, for a few
seasons, rushing madly to this place
or that, which seems to be like Bra
dy's Bitters, the panacea for all ills
that flesh is Aeir to, or like Mrs. Wins
lows Soothing Syrup for infants, or
bonS 1iniment for rheumatics. Here
are found, not only gay pleasure-seek-
ers and those who ran away from the
dust and heat of cities, but the vOta-
ries of fashion and dropping invalids.
They believe they have found the
right place at last, and form the wise
resolution of coming every summer,
but these places whereby was ''uncon-
fined" "where bright lamps shone
DER fair women and brave men," are
shut up, deserted, or long since given
over to other purposes. Strange to
say that, with the departure of FASH
ion, beauty and chivalry, the iron,
carbonic acid, solusion, magnesia,
potash and other delicious things
grow beautifully less, and have no
longer any effect upon teething in
fants, rheumatics, people with gen.
eral debility, etc. Such is the history
of Harrodsburg, Drennen, Blue Lick,
etc. Harrodsburg owed the mediei-
nal properties of its spring to an
amusing circumstance. The gentle.
manly proprietor owned a cooking
stove, which was excellent, except
for one fault-it would not bake bis
cult on both sides. 1t was thrown
rusted, fell to pieces, and was
finally thrown down an old well,
and produced the wonderful iron
water which did so many differ
emit things to so many
different people, filed them with

coupled with a share of zeal and a
strong movement for cooperative eff
fort on our own part. We are able to
show that capital invested here will
be more profitable, especially in the
production and manufacture Of iron
and wooden and cotton Fabrics, than
1t is in Great Britain or on the CONT
nent. And a little address and energy
may do something to move the in
ertia and indisposition of men doing
safe and profitable business, to seek
new ventures in larger fields. The day
will come when we shall manufacture
our own goods in this country. But
by the present process of protection
we shall do it in the northeastern
States, and the West and South will
continue as heretofore to be "hewers
of wood and drawers of water" for
their benefit. 1t no more profits the
South to have manufactures built up
exclusively in Rhode Island than If
the same thing was done any where
on the eastern continent. And the
effect so far has been to dwarf the
South, pour its earnings into the
eastern Golfers, and draw off all its
large accumulatiOns of capital. We
shall show that the poor have
~asgreater interest in this matter than
the rich. The absurdity of the above
resolutions, in threatening "the pau
per pay of British factory wOrkmen,"
and yet in the same breath inviting
British manufacturers over to con-
tinue their system among US and en-
force it by the power of numbers and
capital OF the country is worthy of
the cunning of the Yankee Hays,
who is supposed to have originated
it. The nearer we can approach free
trade, consistently with the wants of
the revenue, the better it will be, es-
pecially for our laboring classes.

THE victory Of the Prussians is
brilliant but costly. AS the first bat
tie Of the war, this at Weisenberg has
much of the significance of the first
battle Of Manassas. AS 1t affects the
result Of the terrible contest, it deter
mines nothing. If 1t inspirit the
Prussians, 1t exasperates the French.
If the terrors of the Mpar0ilLeure, and
the anxiety Of the Prussisns to cap
ture q specimen of this destructive
weapon be not exaggerated, the
French have In its exclusive use a
moral power greater than that
wrought by insignificant conflicts
which have heretofore occurred.
Wars now cost so much in money and
life, that nations cannot p~rotract
them. Exhaustion, more terrible
than defeat, If the conflict were con-
tinued through a single year, would
utterly annihilate the power of the
two cOmbatants. 1t follows that an
I L1bAOBLL COlAOCOb VI Az AAl dCICl
now pending, unless allied nations
on either side are drawn into
the maelstrom, must be necessarily
brief. In this we find ample
cause for self-gratulation. Remote,
in miles, as we are from the scene of
blood and d~esolation, we share the
multiplied evils that flow from the
bloody struggle. Southern railway
builders find their schemes thwarted
by this terrible European strife, and
all financial arrangements defeated.
We wot of a corporation, which, a
month ago, was successfully accom-
plishing its ends, and to-day is
stranded and almost hopelessly
wrecked by this stosn th8t sweeps
over Western Europe. Everywhere
in the South the stream of money
that was flowing in this direction
through New York from Europe has
become damned up or turned back
ward. In very truth, the dimen-
sions of the globe we inhabit are re-
duced by railways, telegraphs and
steamships, until unity of interest
pervades the globe and a calamity
that befals a part, like pebble dropped
in a sparkling little pool, sending rip
piles to the furthest shore, makes itself
felt everywhere, and disturbs the re-
pose of the whole human race.
Happily, therefore, for these States,
as well as for those directly
involved in the fearful struggle, it
must be brief. Its results may affect
through all time the religious and in
tellectual fortunes and tastes of our
race, and determine whether French
or German morals and civilization
shall shape the destinies of Europe;
but the first result of the mighty con-
vulsiOn is to Brighten capitalists every
where. Money is Withdrawn into
the Golfers of the owner from all pla-
ces Ofdistant investment. Rich bank
ers would see where safety and ex-
emptiOn from strife, bloOdshed, pow
erty and desolatiOn may be found.
This once determined, the boarded
gold of the old and new world will
not remain idle. 1t will flow forth
like a torrent whose course has been
temporarily arrested, and only the
more strongly because for a time it
was damned up. Thus 1t will
happen and the South will be en-
riched, if Grant have wisdom enough
to stand alOOf from this mighty strug-
gle which may involve all European
states. The impoverishment of the old,
is the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the new
world.
