How To Do Up SHIRT BosoMs.
We have often heard ladies ex.
pressing a desire TO know by what
process the fine gloss observed on
new linens, shirt bosoms, etc.. is
produced, and in order to CRAFTY
them, We suhi"in the following
recipe for making gum Arabic
starch: f: Take two ounces of fine
white gum Arabic powder--put it
into pitcher, and pour on it a
pint of boiling water, according to
the degree of strength you DESIRE J
and then, having covered it, let il
set ail night. In the morning
pour it carefully from the drcgs
into n clean bottle, cork it and
keep it for use. A tablespoonful
OF gum water, stirred into a pint
of starch that has been made in
the usual manner, will give to
lawns (either white or printed) a
look OF newness when nothing else
can restore them after washing
1t is also good (much diluted) for
thin white muslin and bobinet.

Judge Flippin Of Tennessee Senteno
ing his Old Schoolmate to Death.
!, -.

|, Judge Flippin. spoke as fol.
lows
Samuel II. Poston, this is one
of the, saddest cras i'm my life
Our parents and their clildrc,,
knew each other. We grew up
together, went to the same school,
the same church, aud played on
hill and in valley the same limo
cent games in boyl,ood. Years
have passed since then. Our
roads in life have diverged. .You
now stand convicted Of a great
capital crime, and I, as the min
ister of the law, have imposed up.
on me the. painful duty Of passing
upon you the sentence 0f DEATH
Were it consistent with my official
duties, would this cup could pass
from me-. But l cannot now shrink
from the performance of this sad
official requirement., and must not.
and will not in the future, though
other victims may fall to avenge
a violated law. 1t is, therefore,
The sentence of the court that you
be remanded to the county Jail of
Shelby County, the place from
whence yon came, to be there &c.
cnrely kept until Friday, the 2Oth
day OF May next, when you will
6e taken by the Sheriff Of Shelby
County, between the bours Of 10
a. M. and 3 p. NJ, within one
mile and q half of the court house
OF said county, and there to be
hanged be the neck until you are
dead i; and may God have mercy
ON your soul."
When Poston was called, both
the Judge and Puston were very
much moved. Poston shook like
an aspen leaf, and had to grasp a
chair for support. At the conclu
sion OF the sentence Judge Flip
pin was in tears, as was also near
ly all the large crowd, gathered
there. 1t was a most affecting
scene, and will ever be remem.
bcred by those who witnessed it.
Ii was a surprise to all TO know
the relation that had existed in
early childhood between Judge
Flippin and P"ston, aud it must
indeed have been q sad thing for
Judge Flippin to consign to death
a playmate of his early boyhood
days.-Memphis San.

have jnst fonnd outsa plan by
which at least a dollar day may
be saved by the farmers of the
country, whilst planting their corn
crops, and at trifiina expense. I
have thought 1t nor arnlss to make
1t known. as cofh is now being
planted, and as farmers are very

WIDOW JONES' cow.

Widower Smiths wagon stopped
one morning before Jones, and gave
the usual signal that he wanted some-
body in the house, by dropping his
elbows on his knees. Ont tripped the.
widow, as lively as cricket, with a
tremendous black ribbon on her snowy
white cap. Good morning was soon
said on both sides, and the widow
waited for what was further to be said.
"Well, Ma'am Jones; perhaps you
don't want to sell one of your cows,
no how, nothin, no way, do you?
"Well, there, Mister Smith, you
couldn't have known my mind better.
A poor lone woman like me does not
know what TO do with so many crea4
lures, and I should be glad to trade,
if we can fix it. s.a
So they adjourned to the meadow
Farmer Smith looked at Roan-then
at the widow-then at the Dowing
cow-then at the widow again-and
so on over the whole forty. The same
call was made every day for week,
but-Farmer Smith could not decide
which cow he wanted. At length, ON
Saturday, when Widow Jones was IN a
hurry to get through her baking for
Sunday-and had ever SO much to do
in the house, as all farmers wives and
widows have on Saturday-she was ..
little impatient. Farmer Smith was
as irresolute as ever.
"That Downing cow is pretty fair
creature but" he stopped and
glanced at the widows face, and then
walked around her-not the widow
but the cow.
"That ere short horn Durham Is
not bad looking beast, but don't
know" another look at the widow.
1.-THE Downing COW knew before
the late Mr.. Jones bought her." Here
he sighed at the ailusion to the late
Mr.. Jones. She sighed, and they
both looked at each other It was q,
highly interesting moment =
"Old Roam is faithful old mich;
and SO is Brindle-but have known
better" A long stare succeeded his
speech-the pause was getting awk-
ward, and at last Mrs. Jones breke
out:
"Lawl Mr.. Smith, if I'm the COW
you want, do say sol''

PATRONS OF mUsnANDRY.,


This is the name of Farmers As
sociation now being organized in the
Western States. Men, women and
children may become members OF it,
The Associations are called Oranges,
denominated local, State and Nation
al, and are after the plan of other
Associations. formed for special pur-
poses, centering in State and National
representative bodies. Col. Daniel S.
Curtis, of Washington City, has been
appointed organizer, and is now in
Ohio on that business.
The New London Record is paper
published in New London, Huron
county, Ohio, from which we learn the
farmers had meeting on the 10Th OF
January to consider the Iropriety OF
organising Grange. Col. Curtis
was present, and said: "It was n good
Institution he was organizing through
out the country, he felt interested in
it's success. 1t does not require the
wisdom OF Solomon to see and un-
derstand that every man wants what
is his own, and that he wants protec-
ton in the transportation and sale of
his wares. This protection cannot be
left to others, for if a man does not
attend TO his own business, it will not
be attended to-"
The paper named concludes its re-
port as follows:
Then as agricultural industry is the
most important of all, and the founda-
ton of success to all others. it should
possess every possible facility to give
it efficiency, and is the duty as well al
the privilege of farmers to adopt every
legal means to enable them TO keep
pace in progress and intelligence with
all other classes, and to prevent mo-
nopolies aud spectators from taking
advantage of them in the matter OF
markets, prices. etc, as is often the
case by combinations and concerted
schemes.
The speaker showed that the Order
of patrons of Husbandry" is an or
ganization iii which the farmers COM
bine for fraternity, and effectually TO
protect themselves from the unjust
operations of middlcmcn and railroad
and other monopo.ies. He showed
that ii was for the advantage of far
mers everywhere To form Oranges of
the Patrons of Husbandry. He ex-
plnined its objects and workings, and
how to proceed to get them up. and
alluded To their beneficial results in
States where they are already.
This is all we know OF the association
Mt present, but we will try and keep
the run of this as of every other move
ment that may be made for the bene-
fit of our industrial interests. Agri-
culture forms the basis CT our national
wealth. II has built our railroads, our
great cities, and most of our new
States. If any branch of industry re-
ceiyes protection, il should be this
But the chief protection needed by
farmers is against being preyed
upon by capital and capitalists. They
are swindled out of millions in the
name of protection. and it is time they
were combining to protect themselves
against such protection.

SOME HOPE FOR ALCOKN.

Gen. jas. T.. Alcorn, though elected
Governor OF Mississippi by the negroes
and baser whites of that State, and
now i'll full communion with that party,
is better man than some Of his com
rades. He has not yet fallen full
length--snake fashion on his belly
in the mire, though he may come to it..
Let us hope not, for really there seems
sturdy germs of future repentance,
conversion and atoning works in a let
ter he has recently written to r. w.
Flournoy-a Georgian, it shames us
to say it, and well and UNANIMOUSLY
known in this State-though now a
resident of Mississippi. 1t seems that
Alcorn had promised toappoint Flour
noy brigadier-general Of militia, and
that before the latter received the COM
mission, he still further earned it, as
he thought, by Indignantly assailing
the memory of Gen. Lee in public
harangue, and at another time as
meanly yillified the State University.
These infamies reached Alcorn's ears,
and in his letter refusing the commits
.
Gen. Lee was, perhaps, "rebel," "
yet, in much humber position, /
myself stand guilty of the same offense.
Neither must / overlook the fact that
my party embraces in its ranks men
who have been amongst the most de-
voted soldiers of the south. cannot,
therefore, seemingly approve Of any
slur cast upon the memory of Gen.
Lee, because of his participation in
the rebellion"
A wise conciliation would lose sight
of the "rebel' in presence of the noble
qualities Of the man and shining
achievements of the soldier.
The University of Oxford is one OF
the traditions which patriotism holds
it duty to cherish. Precious as it is
to the cultivated minds Of the State,
that noble remnant of the past retains
II strong hold upon the affections Of
the mass Of citizens Of any race.
Against that inheritance of my people,
no man or set of men shall, with my
acquiescence, dare to raise sacrili-
gious hand. l can never forget that /
am white man, with all the pride OF
the race that has given to the world
that crowning glory of civilization, lib
|erty. Aud if cannot push the negro
forward along the glorious pathway
opened for him by God, without ar
resting the Caucasian in his Heaven
inspired progress, then must negro
liberty learn, so far rs am concerned,
to take care of itself.
May not Time, the avenger, and its
ministering spirit and executioner, the
pen Of history, when they shall come
10 reckon upthe heavy account against
Alcorn for his many grieyous sins
against the good men and women OF
Mississippi, hold these words in re-
membrance to temper their wrath +?
