GOOD CHEER. Amid the general howl
of vituperation that is showered down
upon us, it is refreshing to receive a
word of cheer now and then. The fol-
loving is from the Boston Post:
Scott's reelection in South Carolina,
by the power Of the National Govern
ment, is q warning moro than victory.

in South Carolina is triumph of the
people, won as it notoriously was; and
in New York, the Administration is con-
centrating Federal army, on the plea
that the people are not to be trusted
with their own elections. They deny
their honesty in six Pennsylvania Dis
tricts, too; but in South Carolina, they
know the people are intelligent and true

vels in American dramatic annals.
Twenty years ago he had reached the
zenith Of his professional fame, and he
WAS to the American drama what his H.
lustrious rival and bitter personal enemy,
Macready, was to the English drama.
Yet to-day we find him still vigorous
enough to contest the histrionic palm
with those younger artists to whose
genius the buoyancy of youth lends its
aid and its charm. We observe in Mr..
FORESTS acting, the same great, striking
and salient passages Of genius which
have always made him, in our eyes, I'M
approachable in certain roles. His pas-
sion is still very tumult OF rage and hate,
his cunning is subtlcty itself, and his
reflection of the ordinary emo tional part
of human nature is still marked by pre-
cision and fidelity rather than by deli
cacy and finish. The reading OF Mr..
Forrest has for many years been regard
cd MS almost matchless, and his auditors
have never required the aid of the crit
les to assure them Of his rich endowment
with all the aids which voice and clocu-
tion supply. His Richeiieu is an admi-
rable creation-one of the very finest of
his many noble performances. The sup
port given Mr.. Forrest by Miss Lille

matte Company of Mr.. Holland is very
fair, and in tho performance last evening
we were pleased to see evidences of pos

Desp Village and understanding.

Intelligent and observing tillcrs Of
the soil in almost every section of the
country where the drOuth has prevail
ed to any considerable extent during
the past season, have been striEingly
impressed with the surprising advan-
tage to the growing crops arising
from thorough drainage of heavy soils
in connection with deep tillago and
abundant fertilization of the seed-bCd.
When the watcr-linc of q heavy soil
that is disposed to be wet, is sunk by
means Of a system of thorough under
draining, say thirty or more inches
beneath the surface of the soil, if the
seed-bed be broken up deep, the fine
ly comminuted soil will retain a much
larger quantity of moisture in dry and
hot weather, than if thele were no
under-drains, As the soil is deepen
ed by understanding and deep
plougEing, the capacity to absorb
moisture from the atmosphere is
greatly augmented. Hence, int dry
season, if the seed-bed be broken up
deep, the roots of growing plants
spread farther in every direction
through the soil /; snd as the mellow
earth will absorb a much larger guam
tity Of moisture than if the entire
strata were one solid mass, every
growing plant is, in a great measure,
fortified against the trying influences

PLANTATION LABOR.
The Chinese Satisfactory 10 All Par
Ties.
From the New Orleans Times,

From the New orleans Times,
The experiment of the Chinese on the
MillaudOn plantation has proved, in
spite of many obstacles, satisfactory to
all parties. An oldplanter who visited
the place day before yesterday reports
that they were doing work which ne
gro laborers could not be got to do, to-
wit getting wood out Of a swamp,
where they had to wade and work all
day above their ankles in water. They
were cheerful, active, and Jealous to a
degree which made Our old planter
sigh for a few such on his own planta-
ton. With such laborers, or a fair
proportion of them, we could see re-
vive our sugar production, and in these
loWlands raise all the sugar and rice
that would be needed for consumption
in the United States. The need OF tins
new labor is especially impressed upon
our planters by the general neglect OF
the negroes of their industrial employ
mentS, in order to devote themselves
to patriotic and political duties. The
approaching election is a most impor-
tant epoch with them. They have got
public meetings, stump oratOry, torch
light professions, flags, drums, mass
conventions, and all the nonsense OF
political campaigns on the brain, and
are quite indifferent to the sugar and
cotton crops, The maiOrities of their
ticket and candidates are Of far more
interest to them than the yield of the
plantations on which they are EN-
ployed. This present election will in
volve n waste of reproduction amounting
to millions of value. The demagogues
who 90 about the country stirring up
the "too susceptible hands" to turn
OUT and tramp for miles to some meet
ing convenient to a grocery or grog'
shop, where benzine whisky is retailed
at five cents a gill, are the Alarics anC
Attilas of our State, who carry desola'
ton in their march.
1t is a great folly to hope or pray fol
the extinction Of these dcmagOgues, o.
to seek to convince our cOlored breth
rem that they are getting beyond thei
depth, and will pursue their politica
aspirations to their own ruin and de
struction. That is a foregone conclu
sion. 1t will only be q little wors,
with them than with a large class o
white people who give themselves VI
to politics, and forever afterward be
come drones and l%oafers, subSisting up
on and taxing the honest labor o
Others.
Our planters must, therefore, to saw.
themselves and the country from a de
cline of production, look to some othe
labor than that of our cOlored politi
clans and suttragans. China is the on
ly quarter of the globe to which we cal
resort to supply this desideratum. |
is encouraging to know that many o
our large planters have already entere,
into contracts to procure these laborer>
If half of the contracts already mad
are executed, there will be a large in
crease of the number Of Chinese in on
state by next January.

To Clean Kid Gloves.

The following suggestions concerning
the cleaning of Kid gloves, we take from
that excellent journal, the Manufacturer
and Bailler. W. doubt not but that our
lady readers will be glad to know how to
"makc old gloves as good as new:'
1t is well known that common benzine
is the best substance to take the greasy
dirt out of leather gloves, us it does not
attack the leather like most other sub
stances sometimes used for that purpose.
Those who make it 4 profession to clean
gloves, put them altogether in a large,
wide-mouthed jar with glass stopper,
until it is about half full, cover the
gloves with bCnzine, close the stopper,
and shake the whole several times, let
ting it rest alternately. The gloves are
then taken out, II by one, and EXAM
med. Ii any dirt spots have remained,
they are rubbed out with bCnzine, close
the stopper, and shake the whole several
times, letting it rest alternately, The
gloves are then taken out, one by one,
and examined, If any dirt spots have
remained, they are rubbed out with BEN
zine; the glove is then wrung out and
hung up to dry. If such gloves were,
however, to be worn after simply air.
drying, the higher temperature of the
hand would cause the evaporation with
an unpleasant odor of the benzinc which,
ut the lower temperature, was left be-
hind. Hence they are dried at u tenn
pcraturo of some POO degrees, between
plates heated with boiling water, which
removes all traces of bcnzine, and consc-
qucnt od0r.
The benzinc remaining in the bottle
after having been used Il few times be-
comes dirty but as bCnzine is so cheap
as to make it not worth while to recover
it by Redistribution when thus soiled, all
glOye-cleanerS throw it away.
n correspondent Of a contemporary
gives an account of this simple glove
cleaning business, occupying over half Il
page of three columns, and amounting
to nothing more than the above, which
is already well known, \ great deal of
space is occupied in the article referred
to in teaching how the dirty benzine may
be distilled by persons who have no APP
paratuS and know nothing of distill&tion.
1t is very reckless to recommend to such
persons the heating of this very intlam-
mable and dangerous material. Such
work should only be done by skilled
operators, with proper apparatus. For
tunately, benzinc, as We have remarked,
is 50 very cheap that none will be temp
ted to 90 to this trouble and expense
aud so the peril of following foolhardy
counsel will be avoided.

.Baulky Horses,

Professor Jennings, of the Ncterin-
airy College of Philadelphia, says:
GA man to control a horse, must
first learn to control himself"
Banking is the most aggravating Of
all faults to which the horse is sub
ject, yet, by patience, perseverance and
good management, even this habit can
be broken up. They resist because
we fail to make them understand
what we require of them; or it may
occur from overlooking, sorc shout
ders, or working till tired out. Par
ticular is this the cas- with young an.
finals.
AS soon as a horse is made to UNI
derstand what is required of him, he
becomes a willing subject. TO at
tempt to force him to do what he does
not comprehend, or to use the whip
under such circumstances, only eX-
cites him TO more determined resist
ance. Professor Jennings remedy,
which fully sustains the opinion of
other great horse students, is as fol-
lows:
"On the first attempt of your horse
to baulk, get out, pat and rcassurc him
with kind words, carefully examine
the harness, then jump in and speak
to him as it You expected him to 90.
This is generally etfectual."
Bcntwright, the American horse.
tanner, says of this subject:
IF yor have a baulky horse il is
your own fault and not the horses,
If a team does not pull true there i,
some cause for it, and if you will
remove the cause the effect will cease.
When your hor &c baulks he is excited,
and does not now what YOU want
him 10 do,"--OW DNmb 1NimaIs.
