President GRANT, it appears, has pro-
missed the Radical press of the South that
they shall be better fed and clothed in
future, and that at the expense OF the
public treasury. The Washington CORES
pondent of the Baltimore San, says:
It is stated by the Southern Republi-
cans who have been recently in conference
in this city, that the Journals representing
their party in the South are in the fu-
ture to have more Of the fostering care of
the administration. The interview with
the President at Long Branch, last week,
they say, assures that while one of their
number will probably be put in charge of
one OF the Republican dailies here to re-
present the interests of the party at the
capital. The policy seems to be par. of
the presidential programe for the campaign
of next year, and it is declared from the
same quarter that unless Maryland and
Georgia wheel into line, that neither of
those States will have representative in
the Cabinet should the party in power DO

Hooks to Horses

Although many worthy farmers honestly
beive that there is such a disease in horses
as hooks" or 'bone-eye," and that the best
and most cficaciCus remedy for it is c
cut off the iEh tmed part of the eyelid
which they call hooks, we must Insist
that they are mistaken, and their euppos-
ed remedy is piece of useless cruelty.
Horses have third eyelid called the
shaw" Of the same kind as that of birds

take hold on the eye ball, and wipe it oIeau
off SO that the eye il hardly ever seen with
any hing upon it. though greatly exposed
from its sjz9 and posture.
The swift motion of the haw is given by
a gristly elastic substance placed bstw, en-
the eye ball and the socket, ard striking
Oblquely so as to drive cut the jaw with
great velocity Ovrr the eye, and let it come
back in quickly. Ignorant persons, when
the haw is inf 4med from cold and swels,
80 as to appear, which it never does, in q
healthy state, often mistake it for an i'm
perfection and cut it off; so nearly does
ignorance produce the same mischief as
cruelty.
Thus it will be seen by the profueion
and exposure TO the third yield-the haw
is the result and not the cause of the dis
ease and that remedies to allay infamma
ton as bleeding, cathartic medicines, aud
cooling diet, are the proper treatment for
the ''hooks," and not the knife. -iS0uhern

Some CT the Fruits.

| A significant fact was developed at the
examination in Goldsboro', last Monday,
of the two negroes charged with the burn
ing of the Exchange Hotel, in that place,
few weeks ago. The evidence given in
by the two detectives was to the effect that
they had confessed to the firing of the
building, and that their reason for so do
ing was that "they feared they voald be
again thrown into slavery" The testi-
mony to these facts was considered so ad-
missable by the three Radical Justices pre-
siding at the examination that the negroes
were fully committed for trial, the privi-
lege of bail having been refused them.
Does not this fear of again being made
slave remind one wonderfully of certain
speeches made by some of cur high Radi-
cal officials during the last campaign,
when one of these openly asserted that if
Convention was carried, the negro would
be a slave again in less than six months,
and another that, in a like event, they
would soon be rebuilding the breastworks
between this place and Fort Fisher And
il it not probable that just such teachings
incendiaries
Such, terrible as it is, is the IN ost chart
table view of the case. For the sake of
humanity we hope that there may be
nothing darker beyond, but it is neither
strange nor uncharitable in us to think
that all has not been told, and that the
Ignorant negroes have been made the
tools of other and baser men,-mep of
more intelligence but of even less hu'
mainly.
Let those who will pander to the PAS
sions of the negro TO secure tbsir own po-
litical preferment beware. for the even
hand of justice will reach them yet. The
intelligent white man who incites the
negro to fendish deed by the utterance
of such base falsehoods il, in the sight of
Heaven, and may yet be, in the sight OF
man. far more worthy of the halter than
the miserable victim he has sent to the
scaffold and to final judgment With Lis
soul blackened with one Of the foulest
crimes known to the Justice of this world.

Economy In Selecting Carpets.

10 selecting carpets for rooms much
used, it is poor economy TO buy cheap
ones. Ingram carpets, of close texture,
and the three-ply carpets, are best for
common use, Brussels carpets do not
wear so long as the three-ply ones, be-
carpets wear badly, and Venetians are
good only for halls and staire.
In selecting colors, avoid those in which
there are any black threads; as they are
always rotten. The most tasteful carpets
are those which are made of various shades
of the same color. or of all shades of only
two colors; such as brown and yellow, or
blue and buff, or salmon and green, Or of
all shades OF green. or Of brown.
In laying down carpets, it is bad prac-
tice to put straw under them, as this makes
them wear out in spots. Straw mating
laid under carpets makes them last much
longer as it is smooth and even, and the
dust Sits through it. In buying carpets,
always get few yards over, to allow for
waste IN matching figures. In cutting car
pets, make them three or four inchas
shorter than the room, 20 allow for stretch
ing. Begin to cut in the middle of a
figure. and it will usually matcn better
Many carpets match in two different ways
and care must be taken to get the right
one. Sew 9 carpet on the wrong side,
with double wsxed thread, and with the
ball stitch. This is done by taking a
stitch on the breadth next % you, pointing
the needle toward you; and then taking a
stitch on the other breadth, pointing the
needle from you. Draw the thread tightly,
bat not so as to pucker. In fitting 3
bre1dth to the hearth, cut Sits "a the right
place, and turn the piece under. Bind
the whole of the carpet with carpet.bind-
ing, nail with tacks, having bits of leather
under the heads. TO stretch the carpet,
use carpet fork, which is long stick,
ending with notched tin, like SAW teeth.
This is put in the edge of the carpet, and
pushed by one person, while the nail is
driven by another.
Straw mating is best for chambers and
summer parlors. The checked, of two
colors, is not so good to wear. The best
is the cheapest in the end. When washed
it should be done with salt water, wiping
it dry, but frequent wearing Injuries it.
Bind mating with cotton binding. Saw
breadths together like carpeting. In join
ing the ends of pieces, revel out q part and
tie the threads together, turning under o
little of each piece, and then, laying the
ends close, nail them down with nails hav.
ing kid under their heads.-lEss Beeche,'.

1t is only in the South, as has been
occasion, that the colored man can look
for nomination to Office by his own; party.
Here their numerical strength In a
political canvass is 50 great that their par
ty allies dare not deny them some small
share Of the emolum 81 e. II These, of
course. always go to the whippers-in Of
Inc black masses.
But among the loyal Northerners this
is not the, case. They havo forced upon
us the negro vote and are willing that he
should receive any office within the gift
of the Southern people, but, in their
county, district and State nominating
conventions, they very gently, yet. at the
same time. very decidedly, reject his
claims. The prejudice of color" IS too
great among tbs loyal masses Of the North.
They cannot swallow the negro them
selves; he Is too nauseating to she gentle
stomachs of the Northern Radicals. but
they blandly advise him to 60 South and
aver their willingness to support him for
any nomination that he may receive a lit
tie farther off from home.
These things are as true as that the sun
shines. The negro cannot get nomina-
ton for the most trivial Office from any OF
dice of color" among his own party friends
is 80 great that they cannot carry such a
ticket through any campaign.
