TANNING LAMB SKIN WITH THE Wool
oN.-Wash the pelt in warm water, and
remove all feshy matter from the inner
surface then clean the wool with yellow
soap, and rinse the soap thoroughly out.
When this is done, apply to the flesh side
the following mixture for each pelt: Com
mon salt and alum, one quarter of pound
of each, and half an ounce of borax dis
solved in quart of warm water; add to
this enough rye meal to make a thick
paste, and spread the mixture on the
flesh side of the pelt. Fold the skin
lengthwise, and let it remain two weeks
in an airy and shady place, then remove
the paste from the surface; wash and dry.
When nearly dry scrape the flesh with a
knife, working the pelt until it becomes
thoroughly soft.

Reducing Bones for Gardens.

1t is not often that bones can be collecf
ed on the farm in sufficient quantity Il
field crops, but every man who has gardC

recommend converting them into hor.
made superphosphate by using sulphur
acid; the difficulty and trouble of procu
ring that away from cities. and the care anc
experience required to use it, are sufficien
objections. There are, however, two modes
of reducing the bones, which every garden
er may easily adopt. One is to place them in
thin layers in fermenting heap of mFg-1s
which if they are previously broken
soften them enough to cause crumbli

ments. The other mode is to boil thesfi
follows: Mix them in large kettle ',
wood ashes and to make the ashes cal
tic add about peck of fresh lime to Ell
barrel of bones. Saturate and cover
ashes we'll with water and then apply hi
for say twenty-four hours, or during
day for two successive days. All the boz
by this time, except the very hardest pad
will be so reduced as to be easily pulverX
ed, being in pasty condition, suitable fl
placing in layers in making the compoE
heap. Another days boiling will reduce
the remainder Of the hard bones.

4 DISAGREEMENT AMONG DOCTORS.


A Washington dispatch to the Times
makes the tardy announcement that the
| Democratic doctors in the United States
| Senate are by no means agreed as to the
treatment required by the Louisiana pa.
tlent. They are quite as much divided in
opinion as the Republicans are. This is
no news TO US OF our readers. though we
have not before seen it officially announced

ence TO the GLORIOUS traditions" i: will
be next to impossible % rally the Demo.
cratic vote Oh the affirmative side of q
proposition 20 invade tie sights Of
sovereign State in the manner con-
templated by Mr.. Carpenters bill. The
Democracy are naturally sorely tempted,
OF course, by any chance 70 get themselves
or friends into Office, but it must be borne
in mind that the only practicable holiday
principal they have left is The affirmation
of the reserved rights OF States. As Car
pente:'s election bill is an iusidious at
tempt to sweep away this the last hold
they have upon existence. the gray old
fellows wisely fosesee the danger. and
hesitate.
We have always regarded the demand
OF our local opposition for new election
here to be ordered by Congress as bluff,
which would not be accepted if agreed to
by the Republicans. and the latest in
formation from Washington confirms our
suspicious.

TIE C1TY'S sURETIEs IN THE GAINES
CASE

Abou. two years ago Mrs. Gaines Oh
tanned a judgment in the United States
court against the city for about s139, 900.
As the then existing city government was
blessed with more legal talent than ready
cash, it was voted to be q good thing so
do to take an appeal TO the Supreme
Court OF the United States. This was
done upon the eity's giving bond. Sub.
sequently the mandate came back affirm
ing the judgment, and the marshal started
out on collecting tour. Certain proper
ty was pointed out to Colonel Packard,
with an intimation that he might try his
band at selling it: in case it should turn
out to belong to the city, he would escape
harmless; whereas. if it proved TO
belong to other parties he would Of course
be made viction for Selling the wrong
goods. In the meantime he was promptly
notified that others claimed the property.
and he decided to let it alone and return
his ferI tacias Endorsed nuZla bona. And
now Mrs. Gaines has ruled the sureties.

3. Schmidt, estate of G. II. Slocomb. and
estate OF Hugh McCloskey. into the
Circuit Court to show cause if any they
have. why their property should not be
seized and sold to satisfy the judgment. A
technical defense was set up, which Judge
Woods demolished. and made the rule
absolute. And now come in the attorneys
III the case and ask to file exceptions to
the ruling, with view to having the case
taken again to the Supreme Court of the
United States to test the question whether
the sureties are bound for anything or
not. Ii the meantime, the judgment
draws interest, and the high-priced law.
yers receive their fees.
This case has been badly managed by
the city, and is still in the hands of those
who appear to be more intent upon fight
ing what has been adjudicated to be a
Just claim than coming at the equities.
Many years ago Mrs. Gaines offered a
very liberal compromise, which, under
he advice of counsel, was rejected with
some contempt. We now see the evil
consequences of erroneous advice, The
whole BILL including Judgment, costs, |
'ttorneys fees, interest, etc., will have to |
'e pad. The total is more than double |

have never seen her object TO the six or
seven million dollars of cost for the Des

imputations are as unjus: as they are un.
wise. They divide the supper. necessary

EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.

The constitution has vested the powe,
| OF executive clemency in the hands of the
Governor, to be used according to his dis
erection, accountable only to the Senate.
But the Picoyauas insists upon being con-
suited 1t appears to have devoted all its
energies 70 the subject and has no doubt
slightly overdone its part, as usual. 1.-THE
numerous instances Of late in which the
executive clemency has been extended TO
persons convicted Of heinous crimes, has
at last awakened considerable inquiry. -
That means. we suppose, that "all lips
have been applied to all ears so far as the
limited circle of the Pics acquaintance
extends. We have heard very little about
the matter least of anything like nu-
merous pardons. A case was reported 70
us the other day from one of the northern
parishes, wherein man had been re.
leased from the Penitentiary upon a very
numesously signed petition OF citizens.
No sooner was their protege sent back to
them than some Of the very men who
signed the petition began 70 complain Of
the pardon. So il seems TO be one thing
70 ask favor and ano:he. to appreciate it
when granted.
1t is difficult to judge Of the propriety
Of an exercise Of executive clemency in
any given csse, unless all the facts are
known. We know. however. that appli-
cants for pardons generally come we'll for-
tilted with signatures. frequently having
in their favor the name Of the judge, prose-
cutting attorney and a majority OF the ju-
sors who convicted the criminal. The
Governor naturally depends fox advice
upon parties who are familiar with the
case. and properly allows their recon-.
to have great weight with
him in passing upon the question Of pro.
priety in issuing a pardon. We are en-.
abled to say. however, that Governor Kel.
'ogg has not been very liberia! in this
respect. and has been fully as careful as |
he average of his predecessors. And we |
nave reason to believe that he has in all |
'ases acted from motives Of humanity,
United by a due regard to the public in.
crest. The public officer who errs. if at
IL, on the side Of mercy, seldom fails to
eceive the approval Of the people.

lack of similar abilities among the gen.
erality Of their profession.
From the many judicious things which
have been said, time and again, upon the
subject Of sermonizing, we quote some
which have lately fallen under our obser-
walton:
Such preaching as 10 usual, il rather a
nirdrance TO salvation than the means to it.
| Many persons who are in other and more
material respects we'll qualified for the min
isteriai functions may be wanting in the
| quallncatlons tor preacher, and when
such undertake the task las there are too
| many who dol, either they lack the talent
OF arranging and expressing their thoughts
well IN written discourse, or they have
| not the power of fixing the attention of
! their hearers. or they are deficient in
| Judgment or learning. and so, are more
likely to entangle plain texts than to un.
ravel knotty ones Rash positions are
sometimes taken by such preachers, I'M
| sound arguments are adduced by them
IN support OF momentOus doctrines: and
though these things neither offend the
ignorant and careless, nor injure the well.
minded and well-informed. they carry
poison with them when they enter a dis
eased ear. 1t can not be doubted that such
sermons act as cOrrOboratiOns for infiGelity
Nor when they contain nothing that is actu-
ally erroneous, but are merely unimprov.
ing, are they in that case altogether harm
less. They are not harmless if they are
felt to be tedious. They are not harmless
II they torpify the understanding; chill
that begins there may extend to the vital
regions.
The above remarks were written in
other times and for different people
than ours. but they are perfectly appro-
pirate here and now. The cure of the
evil complained OF, namely, too many, too
long and too weak sermons, rests partly
in the pews and partly in the pulpit
These act and react on each other, and
must work in harmony for that object
before the evil complained OF can be
yemedied.

ireland was formerly great potato-grow.
. ing country, and probably is so yet; but it
seems that last year the demand for pota
toes in the British islands was greatly in
excess of the supply. The potatoes i'm
ported into the United Kingdom during
1873 were valued at $40, 600, IFS, an increase
of over $4,000, 900 beyond the value of the
importation of the previous year. 1t is
quite probable that hereafter Great Britain
will have to look abroad for her potatoes,
rs well as for other food supplies; but it
will astonish those who place great de-
pendence in Ireland's potato-growing repu-
tation to find that her ability TO produce
this root il decreasing.

TAXPAYERS TROUBLES.

Certain taxpayers Of South Carolina and
the female taxpayers of Worcester, Massa-
chusetts, are up in arms against payment.
The reasons assigned are different, though
probably the same in both cases. AS the
ladies are entitled to the preference, we
give theirs as the correct statement and
ground of the difficulty. They declare
an unwillingness to pay taxes until they
are permitted to vote, which, of course
will carry with it the right to hold Offices
and receive the emoluments of public en-
ployment. The South Carolinians can not
plead the first excuse, but they doubtless
have the last named full in view. They
may vote, but are shut out from Office
