: Beautiful Figure.

Mr.. Webster visited John Quincy
Adams 4 short time before his death
and found him reclining on the sofa,
evidently in declining health. Web
ster remarked to Mr.. Adams:
81 am glad to see you, sir; hope
1 you are getting along very we'll"
Hir. Adams replied in the following
fgurative language:
"Ah, sir, quite the contrary; find
am poor tenant occupying q house
much shattered by time. 1t sways
and trembles with every wind, and
what is worse, sir, the landlord, as
near as l can find out, don't intend
to make any repairs.n

and expressions innumerable. IL
was only necessary to say a quiet
citizen was a Rebel-Only necessary
for some pretended loyal man to
swear he had lost property or had
men suffer for crimes they did not
commit. What a warrant there for
foul murders by his infuriated
guards. 1t does not command muir
der, but artfully says they may be
"OtherS0ise dealt SCith." This was
not a preventive OF crime, or a pun
ishment, but a mere wreaking of
vengeance on the innocent man un-
fortunate enough to live near a
scene of crime. Who knows the
crimes, the expressions, tho wrongs
TO person, property and life which
it caused. The list would fill q vol
ume. Here is one instance:
A Union soldier was lately fired
at in Murfrcesboro, and twelve Sc
cessi0nists were promptly brought
to Nashville and lodged in jail
Among them a brother of Mrs. Polk.

TO inquire into the destruction of

Union man, by Morgan. They as
sessed the damage at one thousand

CLARKsvILLE, Sept. 16, 1S72.-I
was in the Penitentiary during the
war-Was a member OF company q
eighteenth Tennessee Regiment--
Colonel Palmer. There were there
twenty five or thirty citizens
brought into the penitentiary. Most
of them were old men. Our fare
was a small allowance of picked
pork and peas. Several OF the citi-
zens went to see johnson under
guard, and told me when they re-
turned that he would not even give
them a hearing; that he had abused
them outrageOusly, and said they
were id Rebels, and he did not
want to look at them. They were
confined for no crime, except being
Southern men. One of my neigh
bors, Ben. Robinson, aged sixty-fVe,
a quiet, peaceable, and feeble man,
who never did anything but own his
Southern feelings, was confined
there until the prison life killed
him. RICHARDSON ANDERSON.

Dickson.
These are a few examples hastily
gathered up. Thus was violated the
Constitutional right of trial by jury,
of the presumption of innocence, OF
freedom from seizure OF property,
of personal liberty, and even life,
not from any military necessity. No
military end could be furthered BY
these arbitrary acts.

a WONDROUs WATCH-A Rus
sian peasant made a watch that both
played music and moved figures, al
Though it was no larger than an egg.
1t was a repeater, too, and it had on
1t the tomb of Christ with the RO-
man sentinels on the watch. On
pressing a spring the stone would
be rolled away from the tomb, the
sentinels fall down, the holy women
enter the sepulchre and a chant
would be played. This little mar
vel is preserved in the museum of
the St. Petersburg Academy of Sci
enCeS.

a Carl a military dictator-this
man who professed a love for the
Constitution. How was this power
welded? Congress had declared:
This war is not Waged in any spi-
rit of oppression, nor for purpose OF
conquest or subjugation, nor pur-
pose of oVerthrOwing, or interfering
with the rights or established insti-
tutions of the States, but to defend
and maintain the supremacy Of the
Constitution, and preserve the dig
nifty and rights of the several States
unimpaired.
Thus the law-making power di-
rected that the Constitution should
be observed even in the war, bat he
trampled the law and violated every
Constitutional right OF person and
property.
May 9, 1868, he issued the follow
ing proclamation:
In every instance where an Union
man is arrested and maltreated by
marauding bands, five or more Reb-
els, from the most prominent in the
immediate neighbOrhOod, shall be
arrested, Imprisoned, or otherwise
dealt with; and further, where pro-
perty of citizens loyal To the United
States is taken or destroyed, full and
ample remuneration shall be made
out of the property of Rebels in the
vicinity who have sympathized and
given aid or comfort, etc.

CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT APPLES
Apples dried before they are fully
ripened will make more pounds to
the bushel than those fully maturcd.
Very large apples will not yield as
many pounds of dried apples to the
bushel as smaller ones.
Small sized apples will often yield
eight pounds Of dried apples to the
bushel.
Apples with thick, close texturcd
skins keep longer than thin-skinned
apples.
When tree overbears, the flavor
of the fruit is impaired.
The flavor of the fruit is depend
ent upon the maturity Of the sap
through the leaf.
The leaves are the expanded lungs
Of the tree, in which the sap is oXy-
genized and purified.
If there is much larger relative
proportion Of fruit than leaves, the
fruit will be of inferior flavor.
Pick all the leaves from a tree, and
not an apple on it will fully ripen.
Large leaved trees always produce
large apples, and nursery man can
pick out Of nursery the trees that
will bear large apples before they
bear fruit.

ADVANTAGE OF THE RoLLER.-Th,

ADVANTAGE OF THE RolLER.-The
Mirror and Farmer thinks 1t singh
lar that so few farmcrS use this labor
saving Instrument. The roller has
long been favorably thought of in
Great Britain and considered very
necessary III an improved state of
husbaudry. 1t cannot bc used to adj
vantage except on lands that are free
from stumps and stones on the sur
face. 1t is useful for breaking the
Jumps of baked earth in clayoy soil,
and farmers will find that they can
NOW or rake much easier on land
that has been rolled down. a wood,
en- roller should be about six feet long
and twenty inches in diameter, round
and of uniform surface. 1t Is some
times made of stone, and when once
made, will last an age. The splkey
roller is much recommended BY some
English writers for mellowing cIayey
soils. 1t is also said to act bench
cially in passing over meadows that
are grass bound, for the purpose of
making the grass more thrifty. The
spikey roller is merely a wooden roll
Ter, with iron teeth or spikes driven
into it. They are seven inches long,
driven three inches in the wood, and
set four inches apart in diagonal
rows around the roller-the outer
ends to be sharp and square.

HOUSEKEEPING HINTs.-i

HOUSEKEEPING HINTs.-All kinds
of poultry and meat can be cooked
quicker by adding to the water in
which they are boiled a little vinegar
or piece of lemon. By the use of
an acid there will be a considerable
saving of fuel, as we'll as shortening
Of time. Its action is beneficial on
old, tough meats, rendering them
quite tender and easy to be digested.
Tainted meats and fowls will lose
their bad taste and odor if cooked in
this way, and if not used too freely,
no taste of it will be acquired.

WATERING PLANTS WITH Hot WA
TER.-It has lately been shown, by
careful experiment, that sickly pot
ted plants, even some that have al
most died out, can be greatly bene-
fitted, and sometimes indeed entirely
restored to vigor, by applying warm
water to them instead of cold. In
certain cases, Oleandcrs which have
never doomed, or did so only i'm
perfectly, after being treated with
luke-warm water, increasing the tenn
peratnre gradually from 40 up to
40 F., produce the most magnifi-
cent luxuriance of bloom. Similar
results occurred with an old plant of
Hoys, and also with an India rubber
tree which had nearly withered away.
In all these cases the application of
water heated to about ITO without
any other precaution, caused new
and flourishing growth.
