As the season for general clean

the following directions for prepara-
ton Of whitewash properly may not
be inappropriate:
Lime whitewash is made from
lime well Stacked, Dissolve two
pounds and a half alum in boiling
water, and add it to every pailfuI of

be used very thin, and, when it is
sufficient bound on the wall by
means Of alum, two thin coats will
cover the work bstter; this may be
used for the first coat thinned with
water Most whitewashers apply
their wash too thick, and do not mix
a proportionato quantity Of alum to

WEALTH LEFT By KING DAVID
TO SOLOMON. 1T is recorded in the
Bible that solomon, King Of Israel,
inherited more than eight hundred
thousand pounds sterling, equal to
nearly four billions Of dollars The
statement IS startling to even those
who believe in the trutI, Of holy
writ, and infdo.s seize upon the fact
as proof against Gods word But a
careful inquiry into the subject
shows this to be possible, from the
pecuniary history of other nations at
different periods.
In general terms it may be stated
that this vast sum was acquired By
his father David by conquests he
made, to which he added large
amount arising from foreign COM
merce, domestic trade, tribute paid
by The friendly Princes Of Syria,
Nisibis. Moab, Ammon, Idumea,
Phnncia, and the accumulated pree-
ioua metals Of the Israelites during
five previous centuries.

southern Crops.

The editor of the st. Louis Rural
World says: A hurried trip over n
considerable area of the Southern States
gives us an opportunity to judge some
what closely of the prospects. The
cotton fields everywhere look splendid
in fact we never beheld them in more
favorable condition at this season of the
year. No army worm was seen any
where, yet we heard of its presence in a
certain locality; but on visiting that
locality, it was ever little farther on.
There is great per centage more of
land in cotton than we have seen in
many wears before. We feel that we can
estimate the crop OF 1872 as the largest
may, in the next forty days, greatly re-
duce the crop. Wet weather, the boil
worm and other causes may arise to
shorten the crop; but the prospects at
the present time are such that the cotton
growing people all seem to look the an
ticipation they feel OF big harvest.
The prospect Of the sugar crop in
Louisisua is good. We believe thore
will be more sugar grown the present
season than for any Of the past ten
years.
The corn crop is beyond doubt splen-
did one, al is 40 far made that it eau
have no serious drawback 10 prevent its
being the largest ever grown. In Lou
siana and Texas the corn is remarkably
large, AID the ears well filed. In Ala
bama lowlands, the Northern portion,
the crops are simply splendid. Wheat
has yielded Is to 20 bushels to the acre,
and oats are big crop. The corn and
cotton is most promising. In Mississip-
pi, everywhere the cotton and corn Is in
splendid condition, and cleaner c1ltiva-
ted than we ever remember to have seen
them before. The grass, clover and feed
crops gathered are of good qnality and
of fair yield. Fruits Of most sll kinds
look well and. all in all. the peoPIe Of
the South look cheerful aud oontsnlsd -
the prospect before them.

that those politicians who run the politi

any need of war; but that the politicians
who thrive Oh the war cry will thence

Every day proclsims a fresh advance

perfect accord of the sentiments of all
those who are in opposition to the party
which has just met its inaugural defea,
in North Carolina. The telegraph con
tinues to supply inspiring announcements
of the rapid progress of the Liberal
cause through the State. The mass
meetings are instantly responded to by
the local assemblages. aud professions in
one place are answered by flag raisings
in another The North Carolina triumph
has set the State in a blaze Of excite
ment bringing encouragement to the
wavering aud lending fresh energy and
hope to those Republicans who trusted
TO conscience and courage alone, when
as yet the revolution was but begun. In
all the cities and towns on the line of
the coast, the people are alive to the alb
sorbing movement. Along the course
of the rivers. the enthusiasm is breaking
out in an intense form. Far away TO
the east Republicans and Democrats are
striking hand in good faith for purpose
higher than any demands of party-the
cause of reconciled, reunited, peaceful
country. The distinguished speakers
from other States who are engaged ID
addressing the people on these great
living issues sway the popular mind, as
the breezes rock the tops of the pine

A Victim OF TOO Much work.

The venerable General Spinner, Treas
urer of the United States, whose health
of late has not been of the soundest,
had an attack of vertigo yesterday morn
ing. which, but for timely assistance,
might have resulted fatally. 1t has been
the habit of this gentleman to commence
official duties before breakfast, aGd be
fore the opening of the department, rs
his sleeping chamber is adjoining his
official apartment, and often passers by
the department in the lonely watches of
the night can see the glimmer of his
lamp while the Treasurer is hard at work,
setting an example in the shape of in
dustry and devotion to duty, which in
official life 6nd but few followers. This
has undermined the health Of General
Spinner, and was in part doubtless one
of the causes. if not the primary one, of
the vertigo which prostrated him yes
erday. He was considerably cut about
iAe head by the fall upon his desk, but
not seriously wounded Washington

Supporters of Ulysses Grant shonld
be the last men in the world to
object to Grstz Brown on the score OF
inebriety. Cairo Radicals don't do so;
because many OF them, full score Of
tines. have seen Ulysses S. Grant taken
from Cairo saloons at midnight in q
state of beastly iDtoxication-his feet
knocking over the floor aud pavement in
condition of helplessness. Not once. but
a dozen times have they seen him in
Cairo saloons at midnight in state Of
drunden stupor. his head lolling upon
his breast and the saliva streaming from
his mouth upon his coat and shirt bosom
Radicals raise no such question here,
because, if they do not know they can
learn by inquiry, that to this day U. S.
Grant owes the estate of Henry Harris
forty dollar liquor bill, that lie is
indebted to other saloon keepers, in the
aggregate of hundreds of dollars. And
nowhere else should the Radicals arraign
Brown tor inebraty while supporting,
as they are, man who has been debased
by liquor. and between whom aud the
deepest dissipation there is nothing inter
posed but varying will and personal
resolve. Brown is in DO danger. Grant

Ex-PrcsIdent johnson speaks

tx President Andrew johnson made
a two hours speech at Knoxville on Sat
urday evening the 10th inst. The tels
graph furnishes the following synopsis
of what he said He said he was no
candidate for Office. The government
had been drifting from it's constitutional
mooriugs, and had become the pIaything
of an irresponsible Congress at the die
tauon OF an usurping executive. He
reviewed President Graut's administra
ton with severity. denounced official
gift takingas bribery He favored one
term and the election of President by a
direct vote. The reelection of Grant
would be great national disaster. He
accepted Greeley on a principle of uni
verSal pressure Of circumstances beyond
human control, which has limited the
choice to two men. Patriots cannot hesi-
tate TO choose Greeley. Il is no time to
say this or that is or is not my party,
