A CARD.

For the Register.
| deem it my duty, as the pastor Of
the NJ. f. Church at Dallas, w. Va, to
make a correction with regard to a
pamph!e, published by order OF the
session of the West Union Presbyterian
Church. which, they say, is a reply
to one issued from the NJ. E Church at
Dallas, W. Va, against Rev. X. B.
Farrar, &c.
wish to state that the NJ. f. Church
at Dallas never published a pamphlet
against Mr.. Farrar, nor caused one to
be published. Neither is there any
pamphlet in this community against
Mr.. Farrar, or any other minister, en-
dorsed or sanctioned by the NJ. +.
Church. | wish to state further that
we consider this a personal difficulty
between Mr.. Farrar and the company
that owns the house for which the
Stones" were quarried, and not between
the two churches. Iwish to state, also,
that have taken no part in this diff
Guilty and wish the parties to keep 1t
confined to themselves, where it prop
erly belongs, and not involve the
churches with it. D. Cool

SECRETARY BELKNAP, in his order
concerning that pestilent negro cadet,
confesses in plain terms that Smith
would be expelled from the Military
Academy if he were white boy. As
he is a negro. however, and a mighty
mean one at that, he enjoys the immr-
nifty afforded by his race and color and
his punishment is cornmuted TO The
milder penalty Of being set back one
year in his grade. So we are to have
this miserable little cuss on hands a
wear longer than would have been the
case and there is no telling how many
courts martial may yet have to be held
before he consents to behave himself

A SHORT time since quite serious

aged and highly respectable lady, while
attending church near Cotton Hill.
The weather being warm, the window
had been raised, and Mrs. Abbott, who

ANOTHER OF THE BUTLER'S.

And now another representative OF
the BUTLER family is in the newspapers.
We have all heard of "Strabismus Ben,
and he still furnishis a first class item
almost as often as required. The
Honorable RoDERlCK r. BUTLER, Of
Tennessee, also achieved some notoriety
by his little operations in the pension
business; and another BUTLER, late
Governor of Nebraska, has recently
figured before Court Of Impeachment
because he thought he knew how to
keep a hotel" and borrowed the
money from the State to erect the build.

BUTLER, this time a nephew OF the in
comparable Ben, concerning whom
some singular stories are brought all
the way from the land OF Egypt, where
the nephew ofhis uncle" has been play.
ing "high jinks" as Consul General a,
Alexandria. This is not the Butler
who was in prison in JosEPH's time,
whose dream that ancient worthy in
terpreted and who forgot to help JOSEPH
out until after two years subsequent to
his own release. In factitis hardly pro-
bable that the present GEO. II. BUTLER,
Consul General at Alexandria, knows
anything about j osEPH; at least his
conduct does not resemble that Of the
virtuous Hebrew; ION the contrary quite
the reverse"
Rev. DR.. STRANG, a noted christian
missionary, has written letter to the
Independent, which shows the American
Consul General in Egypt to be all that
such an officer should not be. He has
been levying black-mail upon all his
subordinates; vacating their offices and
selling them to the highest bidder; re-
ceiving brides for his official influence
and forwarding any scheme OF corrup-
ton and wrong for pay. Added to this,
he leads life Of open and shameless
RIGHTEOUSNESS. He has surrounded
himself with the most degraded and
subservient creatures to be found, and
passes his nights in wild orgies with
dancing girls, whose obscenity makes
even the Egyptians ashamed. The
American missionaries have remonstrat-
ed with him in vain. Their country is
disgraced in the eyes of the Turks by
his shameless conduct and the Ameri-
can name suffers reproach.
If GEORGE II. BUTLER is retained in
office one hour after these exposures are
brought to the notice of the State De
partment at Washington, the GRANT
administration will be held responsible.
This man is a nephew Of the member
of Congress from Massachusetts, and
was appointed in accordance with his
request. GRANT may not have known
him, but BEN BUTLER did. The Presi'
dent certainly knows him now, il he
has found time at Long Branch to read
Doctor STRANG's letter, and the next
steamer should carry out the order for
BUrLRR's immediate recall.

In Wales, it is calculated that mar

Besides the much less cost Of these
roads, it is to he recollected, that they
can make much sharper curves and as,

wider gauge.
One Of the objections to the introduc,
ton of the narrow gauge in the United

Cleaning Rusty Ptows.

cious method of cleaning a rusty plows
Take a quart OF water and pour slowly

from chemical action, and this is the
reason why the acid should be poured
slowly into the water rather than the
water into the acid. Wash the mould

with this weak acid, and let it remain
on the iron until it evaporates. Then
wash it again The object Is to give
time for the acid to dissolve the rust.
Then wash with water, and You see
where the worst rusty spots are. APP
ply some more acid and rub those spots
with brick. The acid and the securing
Will remove most of the rust Then
wash the mould-board thoroughly with
water to remove all the acid and rub 1t
dry. Brush it over with petroleum or
other OIL and let Il be until spring.
When you 90 blowing take bottle of
acid to the field and apply it every bout
to any spots of rust that may remain.
The acid and the securing OF the earth
will soon make it perfectly bright and
smooth. If all iron work be washed
over with petroleum as soon as We put
our tools, implements and machines
aside for winter, it will keep them from
rusting, and save great deal of troub
lie and annoyance, to say nothing o
depreciation and loss.

SsoN To Grow Hogs.

A practical breeder gives the follow
ting advice, which, in the main, we
think sound, for those whose herd is
not too large, and who are engaged in
mixed husbandry:
"To handle hogs to the best advan
age 2 rasture is reeded of mixed
grasses, clover, blue grass and tin othy,
and it IS best if there is no running wa
ter or stock ponds in the lot Hogs do
better where there are no branches
or stock ponds to wallow in. In place
thereof, have good well-water pumped
for them. Have troughs made, and
snd nail strips across, eight inches
apart, to keep the hogs from lying
down in the water, and let these hogs
be put on floors, TO keep them from
digging up wallowiug holes. If any
feed be given, it should be soaked in
swill barrels for twelve hours before
feeding no longer and fed to them
as drink. - Gern'dntOtcR Telegraph.

Error in the Treatment Of Horses.

A popular error, which bears hard on
the horse. is the custom of making the
axles of conveyances of all sorts of one
Uniform width. This custom is of
ancient date. and it has caused great
detriment to our public highways, both
IN the town and country. 1t is not,
perhaps, saying too much to assert,
that the uniform adherence to it has
cost our highway department, for
the last fifty years. hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. Had there been
latitude or play Of from ten to twelve
OF fourteen inches In the tread of the
wheels, especially III carts and wagons,
It would have been impossible to have
cut our pavements into the ruts we now
see, and which renders hauling SO diff
ficult along our streets and roads.
Like the Connestoga wagons OF the
last generation, with their broad tires,
a difference in the width of our axles
would have improved rather than dam
aged our highways, and we should not
see them cut into alternating ridges
and ruts, as 50 many Of them are now.

The Golden Hair.
BY ANNA l.. RUTH.

Last night drew from off my sleeve
A little golden hair;
A week ago, the sunny head
That bore it, nestled there
And soft blue eyes were raised to mine
And lips of coral hue,
With dimphng smiles and loving words
Mine answering kisses drew
A week ago, one little week
Those shining locks lie hid
Forever from mine earthly gaze
Beneath the coffin lid.
Those lips are pale and silent now,
The waxen lids droop DER
Those dear blue eyes, whose tender light
Shall meet mine own no more.
0, many pang my heart must know
Ere it can brook thee dead
And YEARLY my feet viii go
Unechoed by thy tread,
My hope, my JOY, the sunny CLEAN
That made life bright and fair.
sl-all are gone, and naught is left
But Just this golden hair,
Save this, SO frail and slight thing.
And yet though JOY be done.
Thou hast not left me comfortless,
Mine own dear little one!
This slender thread, by Gods dear grace,
a mighty chain shall be
To draw ma upward, step by step.
Ny darling, after thee
And as on mountain SUBMITS walk
The traveller and his guide,
Linked by a cord, lest each from each
The surging vapors hide,
50 thou, o loved one, "gone before"
lily guide and guard shall be,
And stil this little golden hair
The link twixt thee and met
