Two DISTURBING QUESTIONS The
cincinnati newspapers are largely occu-
pied with the settlement of two disturb
ing questions. One is, why Judge Stan
ley Matthews should suddenly have been
retained by the Administration officers
with $40. 900 fee in Government case,
after his declaration that he purposed
supporting Grant instead of Greeley,
and his reputation of the letter in his
own handwriting. only a few months old,
III which he deolnred that he would cheer
fully support Greeley if he should be-
come the nominee of the Liberal Re-
publican Convention, and did not regard
the tariff question as of importance
enough to cause any division. The
other is, whether it is true that Mr.. Set
tie, the President Of the late Philadelphia
Convention, was there only paying for
the extraordinary privilege he received
OF representing the United States Go
vernment as Minister to Peru, without
going out of North Carolina, drawing
$4,000 therefor. and conducting his
North Carolina business without inter-
ruption. The Commercial seems to con
slider both these among those things
which no fellow can understand.

Brandy from Sawdust. .

In the current monthly re-
port OF the Commissioner of
Agriculture, it is announced
that there is an immense waste
of material in our saw-mills,
where the sawdust is thrown
away; and that il is possible to
produce from this dust a good
quality of brandy. 1t is sug-
gested that the sawdust OF pine
and of fir timber be mixed,
and that a compound be pre-
pared composed of nine parts
of moist sawdust, 337 parts of
water, and one part of hydro
choloric acid, making 43.7 parts
altogether. These are TO be
boiled under steam pressure
eleven hours, when it will be
found that nineteen per cent,
of the mass will be grape su-
gar. The acid is to be neutral
lied with lime, and the mash
supplied with yeast. After nine
ty-six hours fermentation, a
distillation OF the mash will
produce sixty-one quarts of
brandy of fifty per cent.
strength, and free of any smell
of turpentine. It is claimed
that in all probability many
other woods than pine and fir
will prove even better adapted
to the production of brandy

ScOlding.is

Scoldlng is mostly a habit.
There is not much meaning to
it. 1t is often the result of
nervousness, and an irritable
condition of both mind and
body. A person is tired, or
annoyed at some trivial cause,
and forthwith commence finding
fault with everything and ev-
erybody in reach.
Scolding is a habit very easl-
ly formed. 1t is astonishing
how soon one who indulges in
it at all becomes addicted to
it and confirmed in it. 1t is an
unreasoning and unreasonable
habit. Persons who once get
in, the way Of scoiding always
find something to scold about
If there was nothing else, they
would fall a.scolding at the
mere absence Of. anything to
scold at. 1t is an extremely
disagreeable habit. The con-
slant rumbling of distant thun-
der, caterwaulings, or a hand
organ under ones window,
would be less unpleasant.
The habit is contagious
Once introduced into a family,
it is pretty certain, in a short
time, to affect all the members.
If one of them begins always
finding fault about something,
or nothing, the others are apt
very soon to take it up, and a
very unnecessary bedlam is
created.
People in the country more
readily fall into the habit oI
scolding than people in town
We suppose 1t is because the!
have less TO occupy and diver
their attention. Womeu con
tract the habit more frequently
than men. This may be be
cause they live more in The
house, ia a confined and heat
ed atmosphere, very trying tc
the nervous system and the
health III general; and 1t ma!
be, partly, that their nature
are more susceptible, and thei
sensitiveness more easily
wounded. Women are some
times called divine, but Scold
Ing woman never seems divine
But we will say no more on thu
subject, or some pretty crea
ture may feel inclined to scolC
