THE FREEDMAN'S BANK SWIM BILE.
Rev. Nelson G. Merry's letter in this
mornings UNION AND AMERICAN, ex-
posing the champion swindle of the
age, known as the Freedman's Savings
Bank, cannot fail to attract general
attention. No colored man in Tennes-
see stands higher in the estimation of
all classes, white and black, than the
writer, and we make no question that
his statements can be SUBJ
stantiated in every particular.
Nothing has appeared in the
press, North or South, that gives so
clear an idea Of the system under
which this stupendous fraud was per-
petrated. It is a melancholy story and
calculated TO open the eyes Of the ne
groes throughout the South to the de-
lusive nature Of the friendship so long
professed for them by the party of

Look Out for the Bug.

The old almanacs used to say: "About this
time look out for squally weather. But home
steaders, who have potatoes, need about this
time 10 look ont very closely for bugs. Already
the Colorado bugs are at their nefarious work.
They should be closely searched for and picked
and burnt. Ordinary GuTyipg won't do for them
even though You stamp them in. Cremation"
is the thing, and the only thing
One bug picked and burned now is about six
millions six weeks from hence; and one egg
cremated now is about equal TO twO-thirds that
number. stitch in time, in this matter, saves
great many times nine.
Perhaps the best way is to shake the bugs off
the vines into tin pan or pail. The leaves hav-
ing the eggs must be pinched off with the fin
gers. The eggs are of bright yellow color,
easily distinguished, when the leaves are turned
up--they being always on the under side of the
leaves.
Later in the season, if the bugs get numerous
as they will be likely to .do-Paris green Is the
only known remedy. There two ways of ap-
plying it, One, is to mix thoroughly one part of
Paris green to twelve or fifteen parts of flour,
and dust the leaves with it in the morning when
the dew is on. The other is to put teaspoonful
of it into pail of water, and sprinkle that over
the vines after the dew is of. We prefer the
latter method, as it is equally eficacious, and
has less danger ofpOisoning the operator, through
particles being inhaled.
OF course, everybody must remember that
Paris green is virulent poison, and must be
handled accordingly 1t can be had at the drug

had horse that had both hoofs split from
top to bottom. He could not walk without his
hoofs spreading apart. l kept him for three
months on straw one foot deep in the stable, but
all did no good. At last l went to the black
smith shop and had heavy shoes made which
spread wide at the heels. To these heavy shoes
there was welded, at the outside of each heel, a
piece made of shoe-nail iron. These pieces were
made to tit well around the foot, about an inch
below the hair. let the pieces come together
within-half an inch each, and turned up about
three fourths of an inch. In the turned up part
a hole was made TO receive a belt an inch long,

Blanketing horses in summer has now become
an acknowledged necessity, and light blankets
are now an important portion of the harness ma
kers' stock. The materials used for these are
brown and bleached linen, scrims flannel and
light cotton duck. Muslin sheets are also used,
but these are not popular Linen and flannel
are the favorite goods; they cost more, but are
durable and look well; twilled braid is used for
binding and joining, and some of the finer quail
ties have monographs of the name of the horse
worked on with very narrow braid of the same
shade as the binding. Scrims is used more as a
protection against flies than for any other pur-
pose, aud being very light and loosely woven,
requires to be well bound and secured at the
seams; a strip of leather should be stitched on
under the braid, either on the backs of the scrms
OF between it and the braid; the edge of the
scrms must be turned in so that the outer row
of stitches will pass through two tbieknesses; if
this is not done it will ravel, and the binding
come off.

Typhoid Fever ..s ruI.Buil. DweIIing..

The British Medical Journal finds new text
for its advocacy of good Drawings in an outbreak
of typhoid fever in Lord Cadogan's family, in
London. The Journal says: "Much sympathy is
felt in London society at the outbreak Of typhoid
fever in Lord Cadogan's family, and the circum-
stances are not without important public les
son. The conditions under which it occurred re-
semble in marked degree those which gave rise to
the outbreak of typhoid fever among the visitors
at Londesborough Lodge, of whom the Prince of
Wales are of the sufferers. There are six
children in the family, aud they had beeu for n
few weeks in occupation of Lord Elcho's town
house, No. % ST. James Place, where three of
them were seized with typhoid fever within a
few days of each other. Lord Chelsea, who had
a severe attack, is progressing favorably, though
still very weak The other children are doing
well. Tracing the cause of the outbreak, it APP
pears that the house has the characteristic sani-
tary defects of so many of our town and country
houses. The closets, situated in the centre of
the house, enter on the bedroom landings; the
soil-pipes are not ventilated, and, as there are
sometimes downward currents through the ven
tilating shafts of the closets, sewer air easily
finds it way intO the house. The waste pipes of
the water csterns pass directly into the soil
pipes. The lessons of the most impressive events
are speedily forgotten, and so it would appear
that, in many of the most luxurious mansions of
this country, the teachings of the Princes i'll
ness which at that time echoed by a thOus-
and tongues, have passed unheeded."

Msefal aud Curious.
Correct Way 10 sweep . Carpes.


There are three ways to sweep carpet-one
night and two wrong ways. One wrong way Is
TO hold the broom nearly in front Of the opera
him, then press down as forward thrust Is Civ
en-, thus heave the heaviest dirt half way across
the room while the light particles are sent whir-
ling about, covering as they settle every article
OF furniture. Another wrong way to sweep
carpet is To move the broom forward with
heavy, drawing stroke, By which the material to
be removed is pressed into the carpet rather than
worked gently along on the surface If either of
these wrong ways is adopted, the broom will
wear ont the carpet more than it is worn by the
occupants of the dwelling. When sweeper col
iects dust pan full of the nap Of the carpet ev-
cry time 1t is swept, a new one will soon be re-
CURED The right way to sweep is TO incline the
handle little forward, then give light draw
ing stroke, allowing the broom TO hardly touch
the carpet. Not one-half the weight OF the broom
should be allowed to press Oh the carpet as the
DIRT Is moved forward. Let the dirt be moved
and rolled along very lightly. If generous snp-
ply OF tea grounds, small bits of wet paper, or
clear and wet saw-dust can be spread over the
carpet before the sweeping is commenced, all the
fine dirt will adhere to- the wet material. A lit
tie smart woman, whois terror to dirt, VIII

impelled by whiTlwind, and when the task Is

to pay for sweepingss But by using good broom

very lightly, il will scarcely require the strength

REMEDY FOR RHEUMATIsM.-A patent medi

goes this is perfectly satisfactory; but we want
light upon another view Of the matter. Suppose
a mans rheumatism is only of three years stand
ing, must he let it stand sixteen years before
the medicine will cure itf Or, if it has stood
twenty years is there no hope of remedyf We
