HORRIBLE AFFAIR.

Ylesh from her Arms.


Ylesh from Der Arms.
There is no telling what the demon
Of strong drink will do in deadening
and brutifying all the better instincts
and higher attributes of a mans ma
ture. Among all the horriilc incl
dents that il has cntailed we have
heard none more heartrending than
one that comes to us from Elkmont
Springs, in Giles county. Near that
point there lived man named Erwin,
known generally as Kit Erwin. a
few years ago he was in wcll.to-do
circumstances, and was surrounded
and esteemed by many friends. He
took 10 drinking, and fellss hundreds
have fallen through the same cause to
the deepest depths of degradation.
lie was abusive to his family and q
pest in the neighborhood. 4 few
dave since, in drunken fit, he struck
his con, boy nesr fifteen years of
age, with chair, killing him Instantly.
The cause of the death of the child
was kept concealed for a time, Final.
ly The wife and mother sank under
her weight of trouble till reason tot
tered from its throne aud she became
y maniac. During intervals of lucid
ity she made known the manner of
the death of Ter boy. In her par
oyysms OF insanity shs tore the entire
flesh from her arm with her teeth as
she wildly ravcd about the death Other
son. The affair is one Of the ssddest
aud most pitiable, and shows the
wretchedncss that can be entailed by
,tron. drink. The Pulaski Citizen
says that Erwin was at one time
highly respected and honored citizen.

CHICKEN SoUp-Wash two good fat
fowls, and put on to boil according to the
size and age of the fowls and the time you
are to dine /; if at twelve, put some nicely
washed rice, about tablespoonful, into the
pot at ten, make some drawn-butter, take
out the chickens, put them whole on dish,
pour the drawn-butter (well seasoned)
over them, and four hard boiled eggs cut
crosswise and laid over them; send TO the
table piping bot. Season the soup With
pepper and salt only. Veal or mutton
makes an excellent soup in this way.
To PICKLE RED CABBAGE.-Select
solid heads-small hard ones are better
than loose ones, but any kind will do
trim and quarter them unless the heads
are quite small), stick into each Whole
cloves, from ten to twenty in a quarter,
add any other pieces to suit taste; bOil till
tender-not too soft-in pure vinegar, no
other kind will do. When done, keep COW
cred with vinegar, as you would other

fall for winters use, and then in the spring
to last till May or June.

and half minutes, but viii be far more
delicate.

Of What sponges Consist.

The common washing sponge is still con-
sidered BY many naturalists as q vegetable
species. and in fact most people look upon
il rs Of vegetable growth Still, il seems
now to be definitely established that it be-
longs TO those low forms of animalcule that
are comprised under the term zoophytes.
"Will you make us believe" here you OK
claim, that this iberous net work in which
one In unable to detect the least Indication
Of anything that reminds us Of animal life,
j. mot moss or something" Exactly 50.
However, the sponge which you use daily
in ablutiOns, and which forms one Of the
most indispensable articles Of the toilet, is
not the animal as it lives and thrives, but
oaly its horny substance. its skeleton, il
you like to call it SO. When cut loose from
the Submarine rocks on which it is found at
considerable depth, the sponge presents
itself 70 you AZ black jelly.lite mass,
which. when ieA in the air for only fe~
days viii give off q M st disagreesble
smell, rffginating from the, gelatinous part
IN Question. In the natural sponge, You
have not one single individual before you,
but o regular colony Of animalcule. The
elastic horn like net work Of your toilet ta-
bic is then impregnated to its uttermost
parts with flimsy substance that is pene-
trated throughout by fine capillary tubes,
not visible to the naked eye. Upon exam
ing this curious being further, exceedingly
fine ella (eye laehes) will be discovered.
They project around the entrances OF the
pores, and by their motion produce a cur
rent which, in passing through the number
less tubes, leaving behind whatever they
may need for food. The horny net work is
probably only their secretion, like the house
of the snail. But that the sponge is of
animal origin is now proven by the iiscOv-
cry Of spermatOzOa and embryOs in the in
terror, as well as by the composition Of the
ibfous elastic part itself, which contains one
of the constituents Of silk and spiders web.
In order to prepare it for use, it is 6rst
left IN the air for a short time-untll the
gelatinous part is decomposed, then the mass
is washed in hot water, and afterward in q
bath Of diluted muriatic acid. The toilet
spouges are bleached by means Of chlorine
and hyposulpbate Of soda. The so-called
wax sponges, that are used by the doctors
for dressing ulcers, are purified sponges
dipped in fluid wax, and then pressed be-
tween two hot plates.
The French and Austrian governments
have lately commenced to rear sponges arti
ficially-the former on the shores Of the
Mediterranean, the latter on the coast Of
Dalmatia. The cultivation is said to bt
perfectly successful, and to yield large pro

A Strike from the ShouIder.

The following extract from a speech
recently delivered by Wendell Phillips,
will, we trust, be carefully perused by
every reader of the ADVOCATE
Don't let us give up, even if we have
the ballot, the right to strike. II is not
Of easy use We ought not to need it.
When an Englishman strikes. he strikes to
stop the social machinery, and frighten
capiiaf, and be has right il is the only
way be has to frighten il. He has no
right TO 20 to the ballOt-box, and SO the
despairing man, like the Scotch girl, when
the traitor threatened her sOvereign's life,
puts bis hand into the iron machine and is
ground up, stopping the social machinery
1t is bis only way to do it. God defend
him when, for bis children's sake and bis
wife's, be filings himself into the dreadful
chasm. But the American has the ballot.
He need not frighteH be can govern. He
need not have recourse to strikes, therefore,
except in the last resort. But here are

National Bank Jobs in Congress.
WASHINGTON, !

WAsHINGToN, May 81, 1870.
Two bills have passed the Senate this
session that contain provisions for increas-
ing the subsidy Of the National Banks.
Both have been exposed by the Herald
and apparently killed, but they are now be-
ing resuscitated BY the revivifying efforts Of
the old Treasury ring managers. There is
50 much money in them that the parties in
terested will not permit them to be shelved
by single exposure. When public in
dignation is excited to certain point by
an exposure Of their enormities, they quiet
ly wait for it TO subside, and then make
another move.
NATIONAL BANK JOB NO. /.
Early in February last, there was slip
ped through the Senate an act to provide
national currency of coin notes, and to
equalize the distribution Of circulating
notes" The title of the bill gives no idea
of its purpose. 1t should have been
designated an act to give the National
Banks s45, 100000 more money at the
expense Of the taxpayers" The bill COW
ers seven printed pages, but the whole was
epitomized in the Herald Of February 16.
FAIR PROMISES.
After this showing the job was smoth-
cred in the Committee on Banking and
Currency, and report put in circulation
that it would not be brought to light un-
til divested Of its Objectionable features.
If the promise 50 promptly put in circula-
ton had been kept in good faith, there
surely would have been nothing of the bill
left but its title No one, however, ex-
pected good faith from the National Bank
Committee, and no one need be surprised
that the job has been cooked up and re-
ported to the House in the shape Of bill
1900, to increase banking facilities and
for other purposes"-just $50, 200, 900
worse than when it came from the Senate.
ITS PRESENT SHAPE
The first sixteen lines Of the bill now
being manipulated through the House are
word for word precisely the same as it
came from the Senate, excepting that the
word forty" has been struck out and
" ninety" substituted, making the National
Bank additional subsidy sS5, ,OOO,O in
stead Of $45 900, 900.
As it now stands, the bill contracts the
currency about $4,000, 900, and adds
fully S4,725,O0O per annum in gold, to
the taxpayers burden. There are several
gulls Incorporated in the last ten sections
one that II will give more currency to the
West another that it promotes the resump-
ton of specie payment, and funds por-
ton of our national debt at lower rate Of
interest Its main and only object is,
however, to give the National Banks S95..
600, 900 money. The question is, shall
the bill pass ?
NATIONAL BANK JOB NO. 2.
The second scheme for increasing the
q ational Bank subsidy is found IN the
Senate Funding bill that passed that body
on the 11th day Of March, and is now
pending in the House Ways and Means
Committee. 1t provides in effect that The
United States shall borrow from certain
National Banks S35, 70O,772 in currency ;
and that the United States shall nav the
National Banks for the use of the same,

| shall have some words of consolation
for these gentlemen who are so pining
for more settlers but first let me call
attention to one fact bearing upon the
movement of population in its relation
to railroads. This fact is that our popu-
lation has observed a nearly uniform law
Of increase since 1870, that rate of in
crease being about thirty-6 five per cent.
during each decade on the population we
had at its commencement And this law
Of increase seems to have been about
