Cant. Tucker. and other nimrods, with

Capt. Tucker, and other nimrods, with
their deep mouthed hounds, have been
following the chase for some days back.
Three fine deer have been killed and
they hope within the next week to
bring down an enormous buck which
so far has eluded their efforts.
There remains but little doubt touch
ing the successful growing of cotton
in this valley, although it may never
become staple production of this sec
ton. Ii SIS almost an impossibility to
get men TO take hold of new ventures,
especially when facilities are wanting.
Col. Knapp was up from his farm, near
Oxford, in Sumner county, and he III
forms us that his crop of cotton this
year proved success in every pariic-
ular. lie Sent some of it to Memphis
few weeks since, and it was pro-
nounced by experts to be the finest STA
pie, rivaling the sea-island in fibre and
texture, and throwing Tennessee pro
douciions in the shade. With tacili-
ties for ginning and pressing, we can
see why this valley might not become
famous for its cotton.
As the cattle season draws TO close
the rush Of buycsr is unprecedented.
Dealers are here from nearly every cat
tie feeding district in the west, and
the Douglas Avenue House presents a
lively appearance, especially of even
ings. when buyers and sellers congrc-
gate in the main Office to talk over the
herds examined through the day, the
prices TO be paid. live stock reports,
bankablc paper, shipments, hides horns
and all that pertains 10 this great trade.
Good cattle are looking up, but the cX-
pcricnce of some of the dealers during
last week made long faces and blue
looks. One gentleman, for instance.
received returns on one shipment of an
hundred head OF stock cattle which
amounted to the pitablc sum Of 81, or
just one cent per head, net. Another
gentleman shipped $4,000 worth, and
got in return just 81 900. fiat market
and clean loss of $4,000 For the
past few days Chicago, New York, and
st. Louis prices have strengthened so
much that many who lost on first ship
mcnts will come out all right on the
last. The Texas men, rs rule, are
wholc-soulcd, generous fellows, full OF
pluck, and few Of them ever 'squcaF'
on account of rcyerses.

II have a splendid dressmaler
here" said pretty young American
lady to me, "and l mean to keep her
so by not introducing her to Yam
KEGS" l am tempted to apply the
principle to a beautiful district of
country through which l hare lately
passed, remarkable for fine scenery,
honest landladies and reasonable ho-
tel charges. How can such q condi-
tion of things be maintained except
by keeping it secret? Americans with
full purses, coupled with their liberal
dispositions, prove so demoralizingl
But | will be generous. There are
some Americans, with purses not so
full, who love nature for its own
sake; who are satisfied with toler-
able degree Of comfort; who are, in
short, neither exacting nor extrava-
giant; it would be pity not to make
known to them an unhackneyed re-
gion like this, in which their tastes
can be gratified without peril either
to their pockets or their habits. Let
me, however, caution ladies. Those
who expect rooms with elegant cur
tains, carpets, gas and large wash
bowls, had better not visit it. 1t is
st present conditioned only for those
who are strong enough to walk, and,
when fatiguod, to enjoy stone floors,
fair beds, ordinary bougies and a
pint of water to wash with in the
morning.
The country | refer to is Dauphiny
and the upper part Of Provence, or,
according to the administrative d.
visions Of French territory, the de-
partments Of Isere, Drome and Vau-
cluse. 1t includes the western slopes
Of the Alps and the intermediate pla-
teau between them and the river
Rhone, forming the eastern division
Of this section of its valley. The
Isere and the Drome, two important
tributaries to the RhOne, have their
sources in the Alps, and, flowing
down through gorges of remarkable
grandeur, irrigate and enrich the
country through which they pass.
Everywhere there is great beauty of
landscape, snow peaks, crags and
precipices, lovely mountain sides,
cascades, picturesque ruins and hab-
itations, and extensive prospects.
The country abounds with remains
of antiquity and of medieval and re-
naissance life. Some of the finest of
Roman ruins are found here. Its
towns contain vast theatres and am
phitheatres, with temples, aqueducts
and triumphal arches. The great
theatre at Orange, constructed
against the side of a hill, conveys
almost as good an idea of the archi-
tectural genius of the Romans as the
Coliseum at Rome. Nearly every
hill and crag is crowned with the ru-
III Of castle or fortress, some of
them indicating structures as exten-
sive as those of Warwick and Wind
sor. Occasionally a castle has es-
capped the devastating rage of reform
ers and is still occupied. This region
is the land of the fierce strife be-
tween Huguenot and Catholic, as
well as the triumph Of Richelieu,
the great Unionist, the Bismarck of
his age, who, in suppressing the pow
er of the mobiles for the benefit of the
people and the monarchy, established

41ChAAn6 OuUuuluoA6 6lCiJ III sodlL,
I observe in your May number an in
quiry in regard to saving cucumbers in
i"brine or salt" which ] Judge from the
reading, is intended only to be answered
by the ladies. Now, Mr.. Editor, am
not one of that SEX, but T know plan
SO very simple and good take the lib
erty of making an answer.
The plan is this: Take any wooden,
stone, or glass vessel that will hold water,
have your vessel well cleaned and gather
cucumbers Of any size you choose, (ex-
cept yellow,) rinse in cold water and
pack in your vessel, first putting layer
of salt about an inch thick, then a layer
Of cucumbers, and SO on until your yes.
sci is full, finishing with layer of salt
sufficient to hide the cucumbers; put on
a small weight to keep them under the
brine, which will naturally form-no
covering is particularly necessary. Thus
packed, they will keep louger than you
would likely have them l have seen
them. perfectly good two years after pack
ing. When they are to be taken out to
pickle in vinegar, they will require soak
ing in fresh water about two or three
days, changing waters about twice each
day, in order to get out the excess of salt
and restoring to original shape. Almost
everything tnat is ever used for pickle,
eau be kept by following the above di
rections. TO name few would say
peaches just beginning to turn, young
melons of all classes, green tomatoes, ar
tichoke, pepper (greenl young radish
pods, snap beans, &c, &c, and am not
sure that tho beans would not do for the
cook-pot, as we'll as for the pickle jar.
While on the pickle question, | vii.

Boil your turnips until they eau be
pierced with fork, take out and cut in
pieces to suit your own notion, after.
wards treat as you would anything else
intended for pickle.
