"PatrOns Of Husbandry.'

General Vaughn, an honorable gen.
tleman, and during the days when
" The mastering squadron, and the clatter-
ing car,
Went pouring forward with impetuous
speed,
And swiftly forming in the ranks of war, -
made a dreadful battle, gallant and
brave soldier, was in our town a few
days since, engaged in organizing, and
putting in working order" an organ
ization, known as The Patrons of
Husbandry," which the same COM
mends itself to the favorable consider
alton of the South and East especially,
and the United States and world
generally. The grand object sought to
be achieved by this order is the bring
ing in nearer relations or closer busi-
ness proximity the manufacturer and
the consumer. You will readily per-
ceive it commends itself by necessity
to the wants of the farmer. -
The subdivisions of this Organiza-
ton are termed Oranges; there is
also a State and national Grange,
the merchant that is member of a
Grange derives patronage and benefits
not extended to the merchant without
its circle, and thuswise in all avocations
and professions. The farmer, through
This instrumentality, is enabled to pur-
chase his supplies groceries, &c. at
wholesale prices, as the same is pur-
chased by his Grange thus the
Grange becomes a medium of whole
sale purchase. The order is of pri-
vate nature being possessed of signs,
grips, passwords, &c.-Erchdnge.

Ex-Gov. Seymour, of New York,
one of the purest as well as most
distinguished public men in America,
has been spending some time in Flori-
da, and has there given his views of
Southern men aud women, as below
detailed, to correspondent of the At
lanta Sun:
As to the statesmen, the manhood
and womanhood of the South in the
past, Governor Seymour .afilms with
emphasis that when Southern states
men were in power we had pure and
glorious government but thatin their
exclusions from Office crime and cor
ruption have come in like food.
Who would have thought of .associa-
ting such notorious scandals as have
lately disgraced American statesman
manship, with the pure and illustrious
names of Clay, Calhoun, Hunter, Ber-
rien, Stephens and host of others
which cannot now be recited2 He is
fully persuaded that Southern men
who are gentlemenby birth and edu
cation must elevate the negro if he
ever is elevated. Because it is a fact
with which the world is familiar, that
the highest class of society has always
the strongest sympathy for the lowest
class. The half educated and half
cultivated have not those finer sensi-
bilities and nobier aspirations which
fit men for a great work Of humanity
and patriotism. "a little learning is
a dangerous thing" The heightened
Southern must not-abandon the black
man in this crisis of his history, but
lend helping hand in educating and
civilizing the freedman. By doing
this he will still maintain his high
character for philanthropy and patri-
OF ism, and confer great blessing on
the blacks. s@ w.
The Governor eloquently proclaims
the Southern women to be the highest
type and model of womanhood, and
the reason he assigns for this is, that
they have always had the care of a
weak and ignorant race, and that this
dependent, domestic charge which
Providence gave them, has developed
the noblest traits of character and the
warmest feelings of philanthropy
The kind attentions they have given to
their servants have lifted them above
the cold atmosphere of avarice and
fselshness, and made them patterns Of
whatsoever things are pure, lovely, and
of good report. Ifslavery was anevil
it has bred the best race of men and
women the world ever saw.
And in few years, when this dirty
negro, renegade and carpet-bag reign
shall have passed away, the mental and
moral power of just such men and
women will shine out again in full
. strength and splendor,

How to Make a Mustard Plaster.

How many people are there who
really know how TO make a mustard
plaster? Not one in a hundred, at the
most, perhaps, and yet mustard plas-
tiers are used in every family. and ply
sicians prescribe their application,
never telling anybody how to make
them, for the simple reason that the
doctors themselves do not know, as a
rule. The ordinary way is to mix the
mustard with water, tempering it with
little flour, but such plaster as
that makes is simple abominable. Be-
fore it has half done Its work it begins
to blister the patient, and leaves him
finally with painful, fayed spot, af-
ter having produced far less effect in
a beneficial way than was intended
Now a mustard plaster should never
make blister at all. If a blister is
wanted, there are other plasters far
better than mustard for the purpose
When you make a mustard plaster,
then, use no water whatever, but mix
themustard with the white of an egg
andlthe result will be plaster which
will s.draw" perfectly but will not pro
duce blisfsF even upon the skin ofan
infant, no matter how long it allowed
to remain upon the part. For this we
have the word of an old eminent ply
stefan, as well as our own experience.
