"A writer in the Ruro, Ne,o Yorker saws

"A writer IN the Rufd. Nelc YORKER says
those who love house plants and cannot
keep them in the winter without fire
"need not deprive themselves of that
pleasure any longer, as 1 know of several
who have kept them without freezing, and
I will tell you how, the trouble, of course,
being to keep through the night, when the
fires are out Take an old bed-quilt, put it
on the floor, and set the plants together in
the center. Set stand over them, and
bring the quilt up over the top. If any
of the plants are very sensitive to the
cold, newspaper pinned around them
would be an additional protection"

Curing Pork.-It has been ascertained
by chemists that scurvy will never arise
from the use of salt provisions, unless
saltpeter be used in curing; that salt alone
answers all the purposes, provided the ami
NAL heat be entirely parted with before
thoroughly with dry salt after it has en-.
tirely parted with its animal heat, and be-
fore decomposition or taint commences
around the bone The fluid running from
the meat should be poured off before pack
ing the pork in the barrel. This should be
done sufficiently close to admit no un-
necessary quantity of air, and the spaces
should be 1illed up with dry salt, and then
strong brine, not water, should be added.
Great care should be taken to fill the barrel
entirely full, so that no portion of the
meat can at any time project above the sur
face of the fluid, for it will become tainted
and spoil the whole.-StOek Journal.

"A Good Cow.-Charles d. Hart, of
Mclean, n. Y, who sold butter thirty
or forty years ago for shilling a pound"
states that for the past sixteen years he
has had but one COW. "The past season 1
made and sold up to December list, 400
pounds, besides what the family used, and
have thirty pounds put up for winter. She
is eight years old. In 1862 l sold $40
pounds; in 1868, 312 pounds; and butter
to supply us the year. Her feed is COM
mon pasture, plenty of running water and
shade, one pint of corn-meaI, and one
quart of wheat bran twice a day. Her
mother and grandmother were extra COWS
for richness of milk and for quantity, and
all would dry up as soon as cold weather
set in, and go dry about three months"

Protect Farm Yard Manure.

THE Scottish Farmer thinks that be-
tween the worst mode and the best mode
of keeping farm-yard manure there is
very wide interval indeed. 1t is by no
means tiattering thing to say that very
large number of farmers use the very worst
mode, and persistingly use it in the face of
all that can be said against it. Some
would seem to think that the quantity of
water which falls on the surface of a ma
nure heap, or mounds lying in open yards,
is no great matter. One, however, has
only to consider that the rainfall in this
country is in nearly every district very
gHeat. Thus one series of observation
showed that the average weight of water,
tons, as passing or filtered through the
soil.
Now, the number of square feet is an
open barn-yard is very considerable, and
the water drained through the manure
will also be considerable. The same may
be said of an open dung-heap, although,
of course, in less degree from the lesser
surface it presents. Now, the rain filter
ing through the mass must carry
away with it certain portion of the val
liable constituents, and if water along
with these is allowed to filter through the
bottom of the barn-yard and be lost, then
It'll evident that loss IS sustained. That
the drainage water from the manure is
valuable will be evident from the follow
ing:
Thus in one case, in one gallon the, .
was no less than 1913 grains of ammonia,
1861 .of organic matter, and 625 of ash,
in which ash there were 73 grains of
phosphates of iron and lime, IA and one
fifth sulphate of lime, 10 of carbonate of
magnesia, 297 of carbonate of potash, 20
Of chloride of potassium, 102 of common
salt, and 10 of silica.
When we calculate by tons in place of
gallons, the loss from drainage from sur
faces of manures must be very great. But
this is not the only source of loss by al
lowing manure to be exposed; we have
the blanching effects of the sun, the
evaporation caused by heat and the effect
of winds. That evaporation in the sum-
mer time is very large, may be gathered
from the result of one observation, when
it was found that nearly 1000 tons were
evaporated in the six spring and summer
months. In winter the weight was only
one-third of this. All these facts point to
the best mode of keeping farm-yard ma
nure, namely, under cover-Fdrm Journal.

ulS spare money.
ABOUT twenty couples in New Or
leans have been greatly shocked upon
learning that clerk in Judge Shelley's
effice forged the name of the Judge to
their marriage licenses, and appropriated
to his own use the money that they paid
therefor. They do not quite know
whether they are legally married or not.
Four couples were married in Bath,
England, a short time since, who were ali
deaf and dumb, and, not being able to go
through the service in the customary man
ner, followed the minister in his reading
by runningtheir fingers along the print ;
and, when the all-important question was
reached, "Wilt thou have" etc., they
nodded their assent.

Since our last issue We paid q aging
visit TO the city of Nashville on business.
Had no time to see, do or hear much
about anything, except that in which we
we're Immediately interested. The Pro.

Banner Offices, gave US a hearty welcome,
and extended all the courtesy due.
We stopped at the Battle House where
We received a kind greeting from the gen.
tlemsnly proprietor and the clerks Of the
house. The Battle House is a No. /. Ia.
bles filled with everything nice and good,
polite aud gentlemauly walters, clean,

We learned while there that Speaker
Vaughn was doing honor to himself and
his constituents in presiding over the Sen.
alto. We heard il remarked that no bet
ter man could have been sent there from
this district to represent the people in
the Senate.
We also had the pleasure of meeting

OF the House on this most vital and I'M

raised will be abundantly ample to meet
all demands upon tho State, and its ere.
dit can be upheld and its financial honor

maintained without bearing too heavily
upon tho impoverished taxpayer. The
people do not ask less; more should moi
be exacted of them.
But at al events this will be a goot
and fair basis to make the test. Those
asking q higher tax can well afford to try
tho experiment at this rate; while the
low tax advocates u compromise upor
tho same, and make further reduction!

can be run Oh less than this rate, let IL
reduce taxes to the lowest fraction tina
will subserve the demands; and on til,
other hand, if time and experience de
monstrate the necessity of the tax bein;
maintained, let it be done.

Chattanooga Correspondence.

DEAR ENTERPRISE Il arrived in this
place a day or two ago, and propose
staying a day or two longerif permitted.
The two items Of greatest ard most re-
cent interest here are the tire and the
municipal election. That they will both
prove Of real benefit to the town, 1 have
not the least doubt. The fire destroyed
a long range of old government wan
houses and frame shanties that were a
disgrace to the city. Very few property
owners suffered severely, for although
there were comparatively little insurance
on them, their stocks OF goods were gen
orally saved by being carried out. The
citizens seeing the impOssibility OF stay
ing the progress of the flames, while so
fatty fed, turned their whole attention to
saving all that was possible. There is
no longer o doubt III the minds of any
but that the fire was the work of incen-
diaries. 1t may be that they are Of the
same gang who were so active at Chica-
go; but whether they are not, the fact is
established, beyond a doubt, that we
have right here among us, men who
would be willing to burn down our en-
tire cities for the sake Of few thousand,
Or ever hundreds of dollars, The whole
country had as well be on the alert, for
the Philistines are upon us. Almost
every day I near Tie enquiry madc 2S to
the cause Of this indiscriminate burning.
The only nsw | can give is that, un-
principled men, pinGhed by the hard
times TINT are upon us, have grown des-
perate, and reSorted to this M q means
of relief. Sure it is, that always, in times
of great financial distress, and embnrrass
ment, we have more fires than at any
other period.
All parties seem to agree that they
have u most efficient board of Aldermen
for the ensuing year. Gen, Wilder's
election as Mayor, is looked upon by his
political enemies as being probably the
best thing that could have befallen them.
He was voted for by all parties.
Chattanooga is very prosperous, and
very proud. She is proud of her dimen-
sions, proud of her railroads, proud OF
her flood, and very proud of her fire.
She has ONE right to be proud, for
surely no town in all our Southern com
try has finer prospects for the future, or
greater upon which to build
hopes, than she. Knoxville is not her
rival, for their interests are different,
and very diverse influences at work
building each of them up rapidly to
their full complement of greatness.

Horrible Aceidant-

Z The Chattanooga Times of the goth
says: Yesterday morning as the passen-
ger train from Jasper was coming up TO
Chattanooga, and was near Whiteside
Station, on the N. & G. r. R., about
fourteen miles from this city, u brnkes-
men named Thomas Minter, in attemp-
ting to climb from the platform of the
coach to the top of the baggage
car, fell between them and was
instantly killed. One car passed over
his body, the wheels running angling
across his left arm and chest, breaking
the bones, and bruising and mangling
the latter in a frightful manner. The
body was discovered by the brakesman
on the rear end Of the train after it lad
passed over. Deceased was about twin
ty years of age, has n brother in Jasper,
md a mother living in Rome, Georgia.

A Contrast.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Commercial (Radical) pre-
sents the following contrast:
candy Johnson during his entire off
cial life, from Alderman to President
never accepted a present amounting in
value to $50. Grant, during the period
OF less than six years, Las accepted pres
ents amounting in cash value, presents
that money bought, to scores of thous-
ands of dollars. The only one he has
ever known to refuse, was the bitch pup
from Cleveland, Ohio, on which there
were express charges amounting I be-
lieve, to $40. He has accepted houses
and lots, horses and carriages, libraries
and works of art, live stock, furniture,
wines, cigars, and indeed, everything
that was offered. Those who contribu-
tel the most literally were appointed TO
the best Offices, and I cite A. I. Stewart
OF New York, Hoar Of Massachusetts,
Fish of New York, Borie of P~ennsylva-
mia, and Murphy of New York, as speci-
men bricks. Although Andy johnson,
when he came to the Presidential chair,
was worth less money than Grant was
when he left the Office of General, vet
he refused even the compliment of q
number of rich gentlemen Of New York
who were above ofice-holding, when
they offered to present him with q pal,
OF horses and family carriage. johnson
was too poor to drive handsome horses
and his stables were scanty enough
In the White House stables, in Johnson't
time, there were five horses; there ore
now eighteen, including the sore-tailed
colt"
