A New Way of Keeping Cool.

1t seems strange that Yankee ingenuity has
devised no efficient means for producing an ap-.
tifcial GOODNESS in houses during the Summer
Why can't some method be invented for lower
ing as we'll as for raising the temperature?
correspondent of the Nation evidently has faith
that this can be done, and even makes plausi-
BILE suggestion as to the right way to do it. He
thinks that the air of our houses can be cooled
down to about fifty or sixty degrees In this
manner:
mean to lead a considerable number of
small air pipes several times through very
large box or bin, which is to be packed full of
some light substance-rnoss, for instance
through which air could easily find its way.
Water from above will be suffered to drip all
over the top of this moss and will trickle
through it to the bottom of the bin. Through
the moss, from the bottom upward, 1 shall force
current of air, and thus produce rapid evapo-
ration. And this will cool the air pipes, and
they will cool the air which passes through
them. To force current through these pipes,
and to force another one through the moss,
shall use very large, but light, pair of bel
lows, which will be worked by sort of clock
arrangement, in which the immediate motive
power will be heavy weight. calculate that
horse will, with ten or fifteen minutes heavy
pull (once week or once day, according to
the heat of the weather. wind this clock affair.
1t shall have pendulum, and be started or
stopped at pleasure, and by altering the length
of the pendulum, will run fast or slow, accord
ing to the heat. The cold air which the air
pipes furnish will be led through wooden pipes
to the various rooms of the house, always near
the ceiling, and be turned on or off like the
hot air Of ordinary furnaces. My doors and
windows will be kept closed in the hottest
weather as carefully as in the coolest. shall
have no flies nor mosquitoes nor dust. My
blinds will be open and my room light. The
air will be as dry as that outside, and the tenn
perature of it will be between sixty and seven
ty degrees, according to my belief as to what
degree may be the healthiest. I have not care
fully estimated the expense of this machine,
but am sure it will not cost much, and am
equally sure that the extra work it will enable
me to do in the hottest weather will soon repay
me for the outlay. :.
We don't see why the "clock arrangement
could not be made to wind up by man as we'll
as horse power. Give more time for the opera.
tion and the same result can be accomplished
with less power. We commend the suggestion,
at all events, to such of our readers as have
genius for mechanical contrivances. If the
idea is good one somebody will work it out
and become great benefactor to his race.

Do not Neglect the Turnip Patch.

Few farmers do neglect to make turnip
patch of some kind, but they too often neglect
to properly prepare the soil, neglect to give
it sufficient manure, and neglect the proper
after cultivation, and they lose money by neg
lect. Bad farming does not pay, even in the
turnip patch. From six hundred to eight
hundred-under the most favorable condition,
one thousand--bushels of turnips can be
grown on an acre Of land. Why should we be
content with one hundred? We can, it is true,
make the one hundred with less attention. We
have but to cow-pen our inclosure till it shall
be trodden as hard as the public road, scratch
it with scooter" and SOW the seed broadcast.
That's not much trouble, and we don't get
"much turnipsl' A little more labor, plenty
of manure and six hundred bushels OF turnips
to the acre Ito put it low will pay great deal
better.
For q good turnip crop, the soil must have a
deep and thorough preparation. CoW-penni.nIg
land for turnips is good on loose, sandy soils,
but it is not to he recommended for those
which are heavy and stiff. In any case, make
the soil deep and mellow. Plough and subsoil
your patch where the lot has not been cow
penned, spread your stable manure broadcast,
and don't be afraid of getting on too much ;
turn in the manure at once by -ploughing,
running deeply, as before. If this be done las
it should be) several weeks before planting
time, plough once more when ready to plant,
apply top dressing of guano or super-phos-
phate, at the rate of from three to four hun
dred pounds to the acre, and harrow in both
directions till the ground is thoroughly pulver-
lied, and the fertilizer well mixed with the
SOIL Throw up low beds if the soil be liable
to hold too much moisture, otherwise plant on
the level, making the rows, in either case,
about two feet apart, and SOW from two to two
and half pounds Of seed to the acre. Pass a
roller over the ground after sewing. Thin out
to about foot apart, and keep the soil light
and free from grass and weeds by frequent cul-
tivation.
This plan will make heavy crop with any
kind of season. 1t may not, however, be the
best plan ever devised. Adopt better one if
you can find it; but do not, we beg, neglect
the turnip patch, and do not cheat yourself
with the idea that you can make good crop
without manure and labor, and no stinted
measure of either. -
The Ruta Baga is the best keeper, and more
profitable for the main crop, we think, than
any rough leaved variety; but it is slower
growth, and other kinds should be planted in
addition, to come into use earlier. The Amer
ican Red Top, the White Globe, the Norfolk,
and the Yellow Aberdeen are good varieties.
The Ruta Bagas should be sown from the
middle OF. July to the middle of August, Tor q
little later in the low country.) The others
may be sown from August 10Th to October 1st.
1t is best, if practicable, to SOW just before

SO WI ETHING NEW.
a Buttonhole, 09erseaming and
Complete Sewing Machine
in One

WE request the Ladies. and all others want
ing perfect Sewing Machine, to judge from
personal examination, this superior and excel
lent Machine. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that it will execute greater variety Of sewing,
with fewer attachments and less labor, than
any Machine in the world. It is decided i'm
proyement on the older Machines in market /;
and the superior skill, workmanship and ma
terials employed in its construction are guar
antee of accuracy, strength and durability, and
enable the Company and its Agents to WAR
RANT EVERY MACHINE THEY SELL TO GIVE
ENTIRE SATISFACTION.
| 1t is comparatively noiseless, and runs with
such ease that the most delicate female can
operate it all day without fatigue. A Philadel-
phia weekly, speaking of this Machine, says :
"In New England, the home of the Sewing
Machine, the American Buttonhole Machine
is without rival. Because it will do every
thing that any Machine can do, sewing from
the finest to the coarsest material, hemming,
telling, cording, braiding, binding, gathering
and sewing on at the same time, quilting, etc.,
better than any other Macine. 2. Because the
tensions are more easily adjusted. 8. Because
it can work beautiful buttonhole, making as
fine pearl as by the hand. 4. Because it will
embroider over the edge, making neat and
beautiful border on any garment. s. Because
it will work beautiful eyelet hole. 6. Be-
cause it can do overland scanning, by which
sheets, pillow-cases and the like are sewed
over and over. Z. Because you can quickly
raise and lower the feed to adapt it to thick or
thin cloth. s. Because you have short, deep
bobbin, by which the thread is constantly
drawn from the centre, the tension is conse-
uuently even. 8. Because the presser-foot
turns back, that tho cloth may be easily re-
moved after being sewed. Because it is two
Machines in one, and has no springs to break,
and nothing to get out of order"
We take the Liberty of referring to the fol-
lowing ladies, citizens of Anderson and vicin-
ity, who have tested our Machines. The tes-
timony of these ladies is certainly flatter-
ing evidence of the popularity attained by
these Machines within short time:

The following private letter written

My DEAR Sm--.I regret that | did

our election, as stated in the papers.
Caldwell owes his success to many
thousand fraudulent votes. The Ad-
minislration of Grant has an army Of
officers extending over the whole State.
They nominally are revenue officers
and deputy marshals, but their chief bu-
sincss has been TO manage the election
There are numbers OF them in counties
where there is not a single dislillery,
single aero Of tobacco, and in which
not a single Ku-Klux is even supeoted
TO have been. Some of them told me
that their compensation was 30 per
day aud their expenses. They seem
generally to have been liberally sup
piled with money. l think they were
also required TO make regular reports
Of their operations, and the prospects,
&c. In the large negro counties their
efforts seem to have chiefly been di-
rected to the importation of voters
and to the procuring of double voting
by the negroes This last operation
could be carried on more extensively
than the first. Mary negroes have two
names they ramble about, and could
easily be induced to register in two or
more townships either by the same or
by different names, and could thus
readily vote in one township in the
morning and another in the evening,
The unusually large apparent vote in
certain counties were caused in this
manner
In this county (Buncombc) there
was an active canvass on both sides,
aud yet tho whole vote was $50 less
than tho voting population has shown
by the census, while the heavy negro
county OF Halifax shows $50 votes in
excess Of its voting population. A
like result occurred in many of tho
other larger negro counties. While
in most counties of the State the de-
licency of votes is more than 10 per
