The ECONOMY OF COOKING Foop. -
When wheat-straw is fermented by means
of green, moist vegetable matter as
fresh clover or grass placed in layers
amongst it, its quality as feed is much
improved. 1t is found that the process
not only renders more soluble the fiber
of the straw, but actually converts part
Of 1t into starch, sugar and gum. Accu-
rate OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to Profess
sor Voelker, in Transactions of ROYAL
Agricultural Society of England, ISL
have proved that the fermenting process
enabled fifty per cent. of the vegetable
fiber to become soluble, while of the un
prepared straw only tweoty-six per cent.
is soluble. When chaff of straw is steam
ed in an ordinary feed-chest, under n
pressure of fifteen pounds per inch, and
allowed to cool gradually, the same effect
is produced, and one ton is equal in nu-
trment to two tons unsteamed. Besides.
by mixing with it meal of any kind. or
bran, the flavor is diffused amongst the
mass, and it Is rendered much more pal
atable. In this way, even wheat-straw
may be used us fodder, and great saving

Bcath to the small Mnnufactaters.

The new internal revenue law will
wipe cut of existence the small manu-
facturers of cigars and small dealers
in seed leaf tobacco, who, with their
families, have been accustomed TO
work at home--not being allowed to
buy Connecticut or Spanish leaf. or
sell it in small quantities, or less than
case or bale, the former weighing
400 pounds and the latter 100 pounds.
Dealers or manufacturers who cannot
afford to purchase such quantities arc,
by the amendment. driven from the
trade. These dealers, who used 10
sell to the cigar makers, having lost
their customers, will have to abandon
the business, and the wholesale Leaf
dealers, losing the retail leaf dealers,
will have to find their patrons among
the large cigar makers, into whose
hands the business of cigar making
will devolve. The law is an outrage,
because il legislates against the poor
in favor of the rich, charging the frs,
$500 special tax or license, and the
second only $25, making the first also
pay fifty cents ON each dollars worth
of goods sold in excess of 81 900, and
the second pay nothing on the latter
account.-NashrHic Banner.

In view of the Hattering promises
for heavy yield of fruit this year the
Fayetteville Observer throws out some
hints to the people of Lincoln county
which We would urge also upon the
people of this section. The Observer
says:
There will be a market for all of the
dried apples, peaches, and berries that
may be nicely prepared and offered
Small items when aggregated make a
large showing. The fruit now prom
ises large yield, and it would be well
enough, perhaps, to save two years
supply. Two good fruit years do no,
always come in succession, and if next
year should fail, an ample supply pre-
pared this summer and fall will carry
US safely over. A few sassafras boughs
mixed with dried fruit will keep worms
and bugs away from it. There were
more peaches put in cans in this coun-
ty last year for home consumption than
was ever before known, and, as con
sequence, our food was more whole
some, and our tables presented a,great.
er and more palatablc variety than
usual. We hope for u repetition. Less
animal food and more vegetable, phys
icians say, would be conducive to
health.

Colonel" said We, "being fellow.
townsman of President johnson
you may be presumed to know some
thing of his views in regard to the
Presidential question. Is there any
foundation for the report which has
been in circulation that Mr.. johnson
had denounced the Cincinnati ticket,
and will not support it under any cir
cumstances? 7"
The response was prompt and en-
phatic No truth in the report what
ever. Mr.. johnson is Democrat,
aud will abide the action Of the party
expressed through its convention. lie
believes the reelection of Gen. Grant
would be the greatest calamity that
could bcfall the country, and in the
event no nomination is made at Balti-
more, will heartily support Greeley
and Brown
In regard to the candidacy for Com
gresham at large, with which Mr..
Johnson's name IL frequently associ-
atcd, we understand that while he is
not seeking or pressing for it, he would
accept and would be gratiiied with the
nomination for that position.

Whose music my heart could not win;

Long ago-I was weary OF places

And said: In the world each Ideal

And sleeps like dream in the grave"
And still did pine for the Perfect,
And still found the False and the True;
sought mid the Human for Heaven
But caught mere glimpse of the Blue,
And wcpt when the clouds of the Mortal
Yelled even that glimpse from my view
And toiled on, heart-tircd of the Human;
And moaned mid the masses of men
TIL knelt long ago at an Altar
And heard Voice call me-sincc then
walked down the Valley of Silence
That lies far beyond mortal ken.

And fell at the feet of the Holy
And above me voice said: " BE mine
And then rose from the depths OF my spirit

And the music floats down the dim Nalley
Till each finds word for "A wing,

That never shall break ON the beach;
And have heard songs in the silence
That never shall float into speech
And have had dreams in the Valley
Too lofty for language to reach.
And have seen Thoughts in the Valley
All me, how my spirit was stirred!
y And they wear holy wells on their faces
Their Footsteps can scarcely be- heard;
They pass through the Valley like Virgins
Too puro for the touch of IA world.
Do you ask me the place of the Valley,

IL lieth far away between mountains,
And God ana his Angels are there;
And one Is the dark mount of Sorrow,
And one-the bright mountain of Prayer

Black Omens from thc sou,h.

We clip the subjoined from Gen. d.
II. Hills journal, the Charlotte, N. c.,
Southern Home, of june I'd:
At the present term of Mecklenburg
court there were indictments against
ten negroes for murder, one attempt at
murder, fifteen larceny cases, two bas-
tardy cases, four cases fornication and
adultery, and three assault and battery
eases. In all, thirty five cases on the
criminal docket among the negroes.
The county is put to heavy expense
by these vile criminals, and so far from
crime decreasing it is steadily on the
increase. Excitement of any kind
gives an impulse to crime with the
colorcd race. Fanatical preaching,
political prayer-mectings, incendiary
harangues from the stump, canvassing
for their votes-all these causes will
make this year of horrors with this
excitablc race. Their politicians will
encourage arson and crime of every
kind. Their stump-speakcrs will in
fuse into them fanatical enthusiasm,
and prepare their minds for the com
iulSSioli VI tHc WOTst uccuS. Il Hc IOul-
est act in the interests of Grant and
the party will be made to wear the
guise of virtue and religion. This is
precisely our condition here in North
Carolina, and it is far worse in the
black belts in the cotton States. We
are standing upon volcano, which may
explode at any moment.
The negroes in their ignorance be-
lieve that Grant is their friend to pro-
tect them from outragcs at hands OF
white race. The presence of the
soldics encourages that belief, and the
iicndish persecution of the so-called
Ku-klux confirms that impression.
Mr.. Voorhees, and the Northern
Dcmocracycan philosophizc coolly and
talk eloquently about principle. We
would remind them that there is no
higher principle than humanity. We
want relief from the horrible condition
in which we have been placed by this
military despotism. Humanity should
prompt the Democratic leaders to come
to our relief in the only way now prac-
ticable.

SALT AND ASHES FOR Cows.-A
wise experienced stock raiser says
"On turning my COWS topasture in the
spring, | provided several small tubs
and having them firmly in the soil to
prevent them being overturned, put
into each tub quart of salt and three
quarts of siitcd wood ashes, previously
well mixed by stirring. The COWS par.
take freely of this mixture. 1t pre-.
vents injury from the sudden chang,
from dry to green food, and has, be
sides, a most invigorating effect upon
the general system. Some assert thai
salt should be given only as often a.
once week, its more frequent us,
would be injurious. But when sup
piled in this way, no apprehension
need be entertained.
