A writer in the Washington
Chronicle thinks Grant win "give
ms a second administration more
temperate than the first" If he
doesn't, we are likely after while
to have an administration with the
delirium tremens.
Some Of the citizens Of Rochester
have employed a man named Mum
day to make a bust of Fred Doug
lass. Where Munday is to procure
a lump of cb arcoal large enough for
the business is a mystery.
There are two men in the United
States who think Gen. Grant ought
to be declared perpetual President.
We don't know who they are, but
we are convinced that Gen. Grant
himself is one of them.
They call it, now that it has at
tarked the chickens, the hipporhin-
neutrality-suspicious.. A
longer name would look better, per
haps, but brevity is the soul of ter
minology as well as of wit.
The negro lawyer at Washington
will be satisfied, it is said, with moth
ing short of a seat in Grants Cabi-
net. The want of self-respectw ich
some negroes exhibit is one of the
saddest features of the times.
1t is estimated that two hundred
and fifty thousand sides of leather
were destroyed by the late fire in
Boston. No such destruction of
leather has occurred in this country
since the editor of the st. Louis
Globe had his last pair of brogans
made:
The Eufala (Ala.) Times of the

WHEN You WERE A LITTLE
GIRL.


When you were little girl it seems
The very queercSt thing
To think ar grandma wore bib,
And drove the cat with a string!
Did you have a hat in simmer time
With great broad brim like mine.
And didn't ithang at the back of youl
neck
When vou wanted to smell the shine.
How could you aI,cdys be seen and not
heard?
And didn't yOu TOmp nor fpss
And wasn't iun rs funny then,
To yOu rs il is tousg
What kind of doll did You rock to
sleep?
An old-fashioned one, I know;
Did it have house? o grandma! say,
Did you ever stump your toe?
| shouldn't wonder you went to school
And set on Susie's side;
Did ever a mean boy make yott mad.
And call you 4 "gill" when yoN cri u {
What lots of berry beads you strung,
'spect, and gloss ones, tool
Did you ever giggle out, and then
Ptend It was n't you!
To think yOu tcere a little girl.
1t don't seem one bit true!
I'd rather kept on having fun,
And played the whole way through.
How big WAS Santa, then, and did
Your grandma trim the treeg
And say ''my baby All the same,
And you as old rs me?
Dear! but Pm tired IN my head
With wondering All about
This grandma; why she didn't STAY
a girl, can't find out.

Now sing and pet my eurls

For big, round world Of girls!

The best farmer in Washington
county, Georgia, according to the
Sandersville Herald, puts in this
report: Commented planting on
the 18th of April and finished on
the 9Th of May. Finished picking,
except a little scattering cotton, on
the 18th of November. Planted
$50 acres, manured well and plant
ed for l25 bales. On the same
farm in 1870 he made 127 bales.
Has picked this year 95 bales, and
thinks there are probably four bales
more now on the stalks scattered
over the $50 acres. The same
hands that cultivated the crop also
picked out the cotton. Thinks the
yield on his farm will not come un-
der the average Of the county. As
the test Of commercial manures, he
used five different kinds upon half
an acre Of ground. Applied in
equal quantities, without regard to
cost and the following is the result:
Phoenix guano, 40 pounds seed
cotton; Watson d Clark's, All
pounds; Merryman's Ammoniated,
$50 POUNDS; Soluble Pacific, 555
pounds; Patapseo, $50 pounds.

Horace Greeley hits the La.l Oh
the heed when he says: ut is
strange how closely the men iead
the papers. We neyei say anything
that any body don't like but We soon
hear Of it, and everybody tells as
about it. IT, however, once IN a
while we happen 10 say a good thing
we never hear Of that-nObody
seems to notice it. We mag pay
some man a hundred compliments
and give him a dozen pufs, and he
takes it as a tribute 70 his greatness,
and never thinks of it-neytr thinks
it does him any good. But If We
happen to say anything this man
don't like, or something that be inn
agines is q reflection oR his charac-
ter, see how quick he flares up and
gets excited about it. All our evils
are duly charged to US, but we never,
appal eutly, get any credit for wliut
good we do"

Row / MIKE Soft Snan.

A farmers wife writing to the Gin
cinnati Gazette says; Il keep my
ashes dry, and when put in the hop
per preparatory to making soap, I
have from a half to one peck of un-
Sacked lime put in with the ashes.
Before putting the grease in, l
swing the kettle of the fire and let
it hang a few moments, II there is
any potash in it, 1 take n shovel and
take it out. For if there is much
potash in it, it will not make good
soap.
81 pack the ashes well, adding
water enough to dampen them
Then put three or four buckets of
water each day for two or three days
until l think it sufficiently soaked.
And lastly l pour on boiling water
TO run the lye of. AS soon as 1
have enough run off to commence
boiling l put my kettle over the fire
and boil the lye as fast as it will
boil, still adding more lye as it boils
down. In this way 1 continue for
whole day. BY evening it viii prob
ably be sufficiently strong to eat n
feather in passing 1t three times
across the liquid. / now put my
grease ia, (all I think it will cat, }
still boiling as fast as / can without
its running over. If it eats all tue
greas up l add more. now leave
my kettle standing over the fire all
night. In the morning If there are
any scraps Of grease that are not
eaten up, l boil again for an hour
or two, and II they do not dissolve
I take them out. Then / take out
a few spoonfuls of the soap and set
il away a little while to cool. When
cold, if there is lie under it and 10
appears free from grease, set my
kettle of and hang ON another one
to boil more lye. Managing in this
way, generally can make from six
teen to eighteen gallons Of nice white
soap in two days, and often In ono
day and q night.
Il think that BY pursuing this
plan or a similar one, any one can
make n strong soap"

YE SERENADE.

With We tenor at ye head

And ye flute on We midnightte air;
And dysmal nOyses went Wailing out

And lykened her to We moon;
And ye viois, and flute, and We light

And We longer lac sung ye louder
Hys voice was pyched and higher;
He clasped hys hands where hys heart

And in verse swore hys heart was on

Then ye maiden smyled a Pensiye smyle,
And went to her Iyttle stand,
And appeared in whyte at We lattyce,
With a ever in each hand.

local press knows very well that VIC
have simply told uncomfortable and
dislocating truths about affairs in
Tennessee. 1t knows very well
where the shoe pinches, and we look
to it for justice against the unrriend-
ly determinations of a journalism
which, not content with its attempt
to swallow up its lesser ncighbors
and not having belly enough to make
the trial on us, is driven TO tfle inn
bccility of i'll natured remonstrances
whenever we undertake to discuss
Tennessee affairs. The fact that We
do SO is an evidence of our interest
in Tennessee. IF we do so ignof-
antly or inaccurately they may east
ly point out the defects in our facts
or our logic. The following points,
in conclusion, arc the upshot OF it.;
I. The Liberal press Of Nashville
and Memphis, so-called, is, by its
crankiness and its sogehcadedness,
whiting down its following to
handful of eccentrics and ritfrar
of Radicals, who applaud because
they have no press of their own.
II. The Democratic press, by its
extreme tone and lis fogided no
lions, is driving Off hundreds of live
and intelligent yeang men, who do
net care to saddle themselves with
any dead weights whatever, and are
not interested in perpetuating either
the Nashville clique o. She Memphis
clique.
III. Between these jarring elo-
ments, and in their confusion and
want of astute leadership, there Is
good show for the OLD Brownlow
set, a secondhand show for the
Bourbons, and no show at all for
Che soreheads, who are not propa-
eating Liberalism and may at any
moment go over to the Grant party.
With these "ludicrous" observa-
tions we end the chapter, leaving our
Nashville aud Memphis critics to
grin as broadly as they like.

In comparing the Boston and
Chicago fires the following details
of the latter viii prove interesting:
The Chicago FIRE began at 9 O'Clock
Sunday evening (Oct. 8, 1871, and
burned till midnight Monday, last
ing q hours. The value Of the
property destroyed, including build
ings, merchandise and household
property, was $I93,O000O0. The
fire burned over an area about four
miles in length and an average Of
two thirds Of a mile in breadth, de
stroying 1880 buildings and
rendered $4,000 persons homeless.
The property destroyed was insured
for $IOO,O00,OOO; the losses claimed
amounting to about 100000 less.
Of the sum due $3IO0O,0Oo has
been paid, aud there is a fair pros
pect Of Sl2, ,oOo. coo ie some compa
nies arenot overwhelmed by tho great
fire in Boston. The loss Of life was
small in Chicago. and the
generosity Of thc world enabled the
local committees to disburse more
than $2,cco,cog IL relief.

The ''old fellow glared at him, but
said nothing. After a few minutes
the editor took the old fellow by the

Hence number 8 is the perfect
number because it contains all the
others in itself Number 3, 4, 7, 8
and 9 are sacred numbers. 1t Is
unnecessary to repeat the supersti-
tions existing in the world as to 3,
Z, s and 9,-No. the Holy Trinity,
ETC., No. z the inefablc name of the
Deity. Jehovah is composed of
letters, and No Z is made up by
3 and 4. No. 4 was generally es-
teemed as the most sacred number,
because among all nations, aneiest
and modern, the name Of the Deity
is written with four letters, only the
Germanic race, (of which We are a
branch J, who write it with three let
ters. Example: Baal, Bran, Zeas,
Theos, Deus, Dios, Dien, etc, of
4 letters, and God, Got, of three let
ters.
In compound numbers II has a
curious feature. Thus; IL times
45; add 4 and 8, and it gives 9;
place it in the centre, and you have
the result, 495. Rock.

WhiteRashes.

Take a peck of clean Jumps OF
well burnt lime, slakc in hot water
in a small tub, and cover it to keep
in the steam. It should then be
passed through a fine sieve in flu
id form to obtain the flower of lime.
Add a quarter of a pound Of whiting
or burnt alum, two pounds of sugar,
three pints Of rice, -four made into
a thin AMI well boiled paste, and
one pound of glue dissolved over a
slow fire. 1t is said to be more
brilliant than plaster of Paris, and
will last fifty years. 1t should be
put on warm with a paint brush.
This is very similar to the recipe
for making the celebrated wash
used on the Presidents House at
Washington, and which is frequent
ly published. The following are
simpler
Stake a peck of lime in a tub,
then boil two ounces of glue slowly
until thoroughly dissolved; stir
this into the slaked lime, and aid
as much water as will reduce it to
the consistency of whitewash.
For insidework this may be best:
Stake a peck of lime with boiling
water and when cool add as much
water as viii bring the slaked lime
to the consistence of whitewash.
Another.-Slake peck Of lime in
a tub, then dissolve half pint OF
salt in water; stir that into the
slaked lime; this done, add water
to reduce it to the consistence of
whitewash.-JournoE of Chemistry.

Number 8 Again.

Mr.. EDITOR You lately gave
some extracts from Chambers
Journal respecting the singular
properties of the number 8. They
were curious and interesting, but of
no practical use. I now propose to
give from memory a property of the
number 8, which I found useful to
me as a book keeper for 80 years.
I will first state that many per
sons, like myself, are prone to trans
pose figures; yet they are uncon-
scious of it, and do not see that
their besetting error is a transposi-
ton of figures, and after repeated
examinations of their posting, fail
to detect it.
We will suppose a keeper
has taken off his balance, and the
DR.. and Cr sides will not agree;
subtract the smaller from the
larger amount, and divide by 9. If
no remainder the error is a trans
position of figures, and he had bet
ter get some one to call his figures,
