GREAsING WAGoNs.-Few people are
aware that they do wagons and carriages
more injury by greasing too plentifully
than in any other way. A well made
wheel will endure common wear from
ten to twenty years, if care is taken to
use the right kind and proper amount OF
grease; but if this matter is not attend.
ed to they will be used up in FIVE or six
years. Lard should never be sed on a
wagon, for it will penetrate the hub and
work its way out around the lemons OF
the spokes, and spoil tie wheel. Tallow
is the best lubricator for wood axle trees
and castor oil for iron.
Just grease enough should be applied
to the spindle of wagon to give it a
light coating: this is better than more,
for the surplus will all work out at the
ends, and be forced by the shoulder
brands and nut washers in to the hut
around the outside Of the boxes.
To oil an iron axletree, first wipe the
spindle clean with cloth damped with
spirits of turpentine, and then apply a
few drops of castor oil near the shoulder
and end. One teaspoonfnl is sufficient
for the whole.-Rurai american.

Mr.. WEBSTER AND THE NoMINATIoN
OF GEN. ScoTT.-Only two or three days
before his death. and when beset by old
whig friends to write word for Gen.
Scott, his successful rival for the presi-
Dental nomination, he said !: "This is
matter of principle and character and
reputation with me, aud / will die, be-
fore will do anything, directly or indi-
rectlv, from which it is to be inferred
that acquiesce in the nomination made
at Baltimore. ask nobody to vote for
me, Iexpect it of nobody; | find fault
with nobody for supporting the nomina-
ton. But cannot and will not say
that acquiesce in it. Go back to my
original answer to the New York letter
which dictated, but have not signed.
Those are my sentiments. l say to you
now, as / said in that answer, that, if /
were to do this thing, l should feel my
cheeks already scorched with shame by
the reproaches Of posterity." | then
read to him note which had received
that morning from friend in Boston,
expressing the hope that Mr.. Webster
would remain firm to his own opinion in
this matter, and not be governed by the
wishes of others. Write to-" said
he, land tell him to look over toward
Charlestown, and see if Bunker Hill
monument is still standing" This, l be-
lieve, was the last occasion on which Mr..
We ster said anything upon any politi-
cal subject. He appeared from this time
forward to dismiss from his mind all
thought Of political affairs /; to live only
in his affections for those who were dear
to him; and to make preparation for
that great change which might be soon
at hand George T. Curtis.
