IT occurs to most persons not un-
der the influence OF the Tennessee
Funding Ring that if money can be
obtained to pay interest on interest
without decreasing the public debt,
that il can be found for reducing
the debt; and that If it cannot be
obtained for the latter, such legis-
lstion is impracticable and absurd.

SaWduSt.

The London Field, one OF the
highest authorities, says of sawdust;
Il litter the horses omit to the depth
of nine inches, raking off the damp
and soiied surface, every morning,
and spreading evenly little fresh,
removing the whole only four or five
times a year. Its advantages appear
to be many, of which / viii state a
few which give it, in my estama-
tion, its greatest superiority over
straw. Itis peculiarly beneficial to
the feet, afiording them cool, po-
rous stuffing, a substitute for the
soil of earth we always find in the
hoOfs of horse at grass, and pre-
sents the nearest resemblance to the
horses natural fOoting-the earth.
We never heard of diseased foot
since the introduction of sawdust in
the stable, now some years since.
Horses bedded on saw dust are also
freer from dust and stains than
when on ordinary litter, simply
because sawdust is a better ab-
sorbent, perhaps, and testify their
approval of it by frequently lying
down for hours in the day. II has
also the recommendation of being
uneatable-au advantage which all
in charge of horses with the habit of
eating their litter will readily ad-

child shall be allowed TO attend
school until its father has paid his
poll tax. We believe it the duty of
every citizen to promptly pay his
taxes, but if a man fails to do so.
who that has any soul at all would
think of depriving his innocent
child of the privilege of free school

what Napoleon HI. would Have
Done.

In a long and able resume of the
principal events in the career of
Louis Napoleon, in which he is set
down as cautious and sagaeious to
large degree, though inferior to his
uncle in prOmptness of intuition
and efficiency of execution, the Lon
don Standard says:
''The free italian monarchy is the
creation of the Emperor, and, in a
sense, of the Emperor alone-seeinp
that without CaVour must have died
with his life's work undone, and
Garibaldi would have been crushed
and hanged at the first step. And
surely no modern prince has left so
grand a monument behind him.
Two monuments as glorious would
have perpetuated his fame but for
the fatal opposition of Great Bri-
tain. But for us, France would
have interposed at the critical mo-
ment to assure the independence of
the Confederate States; but for us
the Emperor Macmillan would be
reigning over a regenerate Mexico;
two great countries rescued from
misery, two more rising States ad-
ded to the family Of nations, would
have given to the restorer of Italy a
new claim on the respect of history
and the gratitude of mankind"

evil star, and his misfortunes will provoke
no little sympathy. After quite success
full summer tour he reached Louisville
about three weeks ago, rented the exposi-

and for the second the price of admission
was reduced to fifteen and twenty-five cts,
but the show didn't draw. AS a conse-
auence, the whole concern was attached,
and on Saturday last, horses, canvas, and
general paraphernalia were sold at auction,

all the employees were minus their wages,
Dan not having dollar left to pay them.

WITHOUT A NEWsPAPER.-Noth lng
presents sadder commentary upon the
present condition of society than the large
number of families, both in town and

not subscribe for paper of any kind
How many families are thus growing up
utterly ignorant of what is transpiring in
the world around them-ignorant OF the
mighty events of the day. But who can
tell Of the injury inflicted upon the rising
generation those who are to take our
place at no distant day-growing up with
out any knowledge of the present or study
of the past this ignorance, too, being I'M
bued into them by the sanction OF those
who should, and doubtless do know better,
did they only think Of the injurious effects
of their insane course. Let the head OF
the family think of this, and place in the
hands of those for whom he is responsible,
the means of acquiring some knowledge OF
the moving panorama in which we act our
different parts.

A NOVEL MEETING OF OLD SCHOOL,
BoYs.-A correspondent of the Fincastle,
Va, "Herald,'' tells the following:
Mr.. Allen Ferguson, Of Amsterdam,
Botetourt Co., Va, who is seventy-two
years of age, after having secured his to-
bacco and corn crops this fall, determined
to visit his mother in Appomattox county,
who will be one hundred years of age on
the 9th of January next. The good old la
dy was delighted to see her boy; and to
promote his pleasure, and to crafty that
inordinate social feature of Tuckahoe
character yet glowing in her own heart,
determined to give him a party, which she
did by inviting seven of Aliens school
mates to dine. Of the eight school-boys
thus brought together, Allen was the
youngest, the other seven ranging in age
from seventy-fve to eighty-fve years.
Among other topics discussed at the din
ner table, that of longevity was introdu-
ced. and it was the united testimony of the
party that most of our modern health-de-
stroying diseases are due to the "fashiona
ble'' bills of fare, now commonly found
through the country, and that hog and
hominy are the best promoters of health
and long life.

zealously denied the truth of the statement
that large numbers of female infants are
annually murdered in China by their pa
rents, will be interested in recent procla-
nation by the Provisional Treasurer of

might be released from bondage. In an
other case the girl, Mulan, wished to serve
as a soldier, in order to take upon herself
the liability of her old father to serve in

there is now no lack Of similar heroines, at
least in disposition. "Such being the case, y
continues he, chow comes it that the fe-
male infant is looked upon as an enemy
from the moment of its birth, and no SOON

the nearest pool of water Certainly there
are parents who entertain an affection for
their female infants, and rear them up,

BEECHER's UNLUCKY BROTHER. -"My
brother Charles and I were TWINS" said
Mr.. Beecher, ''or at least we would have
been if we had waited couple of years.
We were twins in everything but birth,
and yet we were very unlike. He had APP
parently better head than 1, and prom
ised to make shrewder man. If an acct
dent happened to anybody, it was sure to
be Charles. 1t was Charles that broke his
leg, that had a white swelling on his knee,
that was blown up with gunpoWder, that
fell down stairs and cut a cash on his
cheek, and then, as if symmetry was need
ed, fell down and cut the other one. He
grew up and had a lovely family. His old
est son was shot in the rebellion, hobbled
back and was shot again, and then went
into the regular army, On the border he
was surrounded by Indians and killed, and
the Judgment day will have to search all
over the plains for his bones. Now, my
boy went through the war, and came out
with only bruise. My brother Charles
had two daughters. They went sailing on
lake in the very sight of his house, and
were drowned. Why is my brother thus
dealt with, and not me ? I haven't the
slightest doubt but that it will all come
out very plain bye and bye, but I cannot
understand it now. 1t is only left for me
to believe blindly, implicitly, in the over
ruling wisdom and justice of Divine Provi-
dence."

BONE DUsT.-An intelligent English
farmer, writing to the 'sMark Lane Elk
PRESS" states his experience with bone
husband superphosphates made from bones.
He believes bone to be the S'cream-of-
cream as manure. On pasture land in
Cheshire, where he lived seven years, he
found it indispensable. In Wiltshire he
found it developed The best grasses, and
produced a superior heritage it produced
the best roots, and on the wheat crop, in
the shape of superphosphate, it secured q
good stand. He used $1,000 worth of it,
and believes it to be the best worth a far
mer's attention of any outside manure
He found on clay lands, impregnated with
oXyde of iron, that until the land had been
lined the bone had no effect, but soon as
lime was applied bone was used with sue
cess. Finally, ON experimenting with it on
sandy soil, he found it perfectly useless,
and even in quantities of 700 pounds per
acre, applied to old pastures or young grass
lands, it had no perceptible effect during
many years.

PREPARING POULTRY FOR MARKET
Stock should be kept from food twenty
four hours before killing +; full crops injure
the appearance, are liable to sour, and will
very much injure the sale. Opening the
veins of the neck with the small blade ola
knife is the best mode of killing; deface
the neck as little as possible, but let them
bleed freely. For scalding, the water
should be as near the boiling point as pos
sible and not actually boil. The poultry,
being held by the legs, should be dipped
about three times, raising it quite out of
the water, the motion helping the water to
penetrate the feathers and take proper eff
feet upon the skin Pick the feathers off
immediately-pin feathers and all-with-
out rubbing OF scraping, which breaks the
skin and makes it turn dark. It should
be pumped" by being dipped into scald-
ing water say ten secondS-and then into
clean cold water for about as many min
utes. Before packing it should get thor
oughly dry and cold, but not frozen. The
intestines or the crop should not be drawn;
the head may be left on. Boxes holding
100 to 200 lbs. each are the most desirable
packages, though barrels will do. For
packing rye straw is preferable, wheat the
next best cut off the heads, and be sure
it is is dry and free from must. Place a
layer of straw over the bottom of the box.
Commence and pack a layer, backs up,
breast snugly against one end Of the box;
the legs should not be cramped up under
the body but Strengthened well out, over
which the next layer of poultry should be
packed fetching the breasts snugly up
against the last layer. At the end of each
course few pieces should be placed cross
ways over the legs of the last layer, to keep
all snugly in its place. Sprinkle over a
light layer of straw, and pack the next
course in like manner, and so on until the
box is full. Avoid, when possible, putting
more than one kind in package. Mark
on each box gross weight and tare, also
the kind it contains.
