The PRICKLY PEAR TO HARDEN
TALLOw.--T Take the common
Iprickly pear and boil or fry it
in the tallow, without water,
for half an hour, then strain
and mold. [ use about six av-
erage sized leaves to the pint of
tallow (by weight one pound OF
leaves to four tallow), splitting
them up fine. They make the
tallow as hard as sterine, and
do not iniure its burning quail
ties in the least.
To CLEANSE SOFA CovERs,--If
the covers of sofas and chairs
are dirty, they may be cleansed
without being removed, by first
washing them over with a
flannel; then, before they are
dry, sponge them over with a
strong solution of salt and wa
ter, in which a small quantity
of gall has been mixed. The
windows of the room should be
opened so as to secure. q perfect
drying, and the colors and the
freshness of the articles will in
this way be restored.

into which she dipped any very

GREEN TOMATO PICKELs.-To
every gallon of sliced tomatoes
add two tablespoons Of salt,and
let it stand over night. Do not
pour off the liquor but add two
thirds ola pound of sugar, one
pint grated horse radish, two
tablespoon Of mustard. Put a
weight on the top and set near
the fire or in a warm place un-

To Stop THE RAvAGEs OF

Then they pay no heed to the

An Issue OfFdst.

The Herald, which is on the point turn
ing States evidence against all the default
TIM tee collectors of the last administra-
tion, declares that q Mr.. Woodbridge, OF
Franklin parish, is one of them, and owes
the state about six Thousand dollars. Mr..
Clinton. who is Auditor of State, and ought
tn know what he is talkiife about, SAYS Mr..
woodbridge is not and Hats not been tax
collector at all. At first glance Mr.. Clinton
would seem to be the better authority, but
when we reuiember that the Herald displays
a wonderfully close acquaintance with all
the fascally tax collectors in the State, we
are dubious which to believe. However, as
Mr.. Clinton is already after one delinquent,
in Franklin with fair prospect OF bring
ing him to, let the Herald prosecute the
man il thinks to blame. The party that
first secures d conviction shall be deemed
right. The TIMES hiis legend on the sub
iect to the effect that Mr.. Woodbridge Is
dead. but the Herald overruled the plea as
irrelevant. Now this has grown to be a
very perplexing question, but the knottiest
point about it is to explain how it came to
be the business of the Herald. 1t is not Au-
ditor. Ii is not the State. 1t does not re-
present either. And it is not considered
quite the thing for people to be asking
questions in which they have no concern,
directly or indirectly.
At the next session of the legislature Mr..
Clinton will hand in to that high authori
| ty an account of his Stewardship. which,
we have not the least doubt, will be salts
factory. And it is the more likely to be SO
since the Herald is not pleased with the
manner in which he discharges his official
duties.--[M o. Republican,.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AND ONE TERM.
Senator Morton, now at Washington CT
ty, is engaged, as Chairman of the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections, in gather
lug materials for an elaborate report on the
proposition pending before the Senate, aud
referred to the committee of which Cover
nor Morton is chairman, by which the Presi-
dent would be elected direct by the popu-
lar vote and its incumbent lie limited to
one term. Governor Morttn is the author
of the srss proposition, and strongly sns-
tains both. As it is well understood he is
one of the closest and most intimate politi-
cal and personal friends of President Grant,
the hearty support he gives TO this propos-
ed limitation of the Executive office, is re-
garded by friends of the Administration as
a sufficient reply TO the third term talk
now used for the basis of the new Caesarian
manic. Besides, there is the best authority
for stating that the President himself is
heartily IN favor of limiting the Executive
to one term, and making that six years.
There is every reason to believe that the
amendments which will doubtless be re-
ported from Governor Morton's committee
will receive the unqualified support Of the
President, and be Submitted to the States
by vote almost unanimous.

~ An esteemed friend belong

the Israelite the subjoined notice,
which we do with pleasure: The
venerable Grand Rabbi referred to
is a brother of Mr.. Edouard Levy
of this place, and the former Mrs.
Julius Goodman was his sister.
On the day of the burnin g of the bcauti-
full synagogue at Bordeaux full particulars
of which were given in our last impressiOnl,
his Eminence Cardinal Donnet sent his
Vicar General, the Able T,mteheau, to the
Grand Rabbi to express his great concern
for the disaster which hid befallen the
Jewish community of Bord saux, and to as
sure him Of his readiness to- assist, in case
there should be any nece ssity OF having re-
course te subscriptions to re-erect the
building. Tho Grand Fsabbi expressed his
deep gratitude to the envoy for his kind
attention in such a proceeding. An hour
later, the President of the ConsistOry OF
the Reform Church took similar steps, and
the venerable Rabbi was profoundly NOV
ed BY the marks of sympathy which pro-
ceetNed from such high authorities; and it
wasSwith tears in his eyes thanked, in the
name of his flock, the re ligious heads OF the

New INvENTIoN.-The proposed general
use of Royals cotton worm destroyer by
the principal planters of this vicinity has
set the inventive faculties of our people at
work to devise some plan to apply it even
ly and rapidly to tie cotton. The best idea
yeti developed is that Of Mr.. John P. Blud-
worth, the well known mechanic of this
place, who has invented a simple and effec-
tive machine by which two rows of cotton
can be sprinkled by person riding ON hore-
back. 1t has been practically tested in the
field, and pronounced q decided success. 1t
is calculated that a single labcfer, working
with one of these machines, will apply the
remedy to ten acres iii four hours, with safe
ty to himself and with an evenness of dis
tribution not easily attained by hand. Mr.,
Bludworth, we learn, has applied for pat.
emit, and we predict that his machine will
be generally adopted throughout the South
for the purpose for which it is designed.-l

Abandoning Politics.

We have thought is best to suggest an
abandonment of politics for the present, to
allow a recuperation of material interests
which have long been suffering because OF
the msdirection of the means and energies
of the people. There is no reasonable pros
pect of another election fer several months
to come, and all parties may hold their
peace with safety in the meantime. The
popularity of the suggestion is evidenced
by the position of the country press, which
ID now alrfsst entirely devoted to railroads,
immigration ard schemes of general I'M
movement. In consequence the people are
becoming cheerful and hopeful, public meas
ures are being calmly discussed, and men
who resolved six months since, when the
politicians were loudest, to emigrate, have
concluded to remain with us o little while
longer, and see what the future may bring
forth.
The practical effect of a general abandon
ment of politics may be figured up in hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, and the fact
is becoming more and more appreciated dali
