Well, girls, / will write to you, to

,,atured man, who will not take offence
at the seeming neglect. Now | must
say you young folks have pitched into
Aunt Tabby quite severely, though ]
would like to see several letters like
yours every week; and would not be
surprised if that letter was not written
for the very purpose it has accomplish
ed, viz: that of drawing out our timid
Southern girls, and making them help
to fill the page which the editor SO
kindly allows us to have all to our
selves, and to see our names IN print;
instead of having him to rummage
over Northern and Western papers for
articles to fill out. /, for one, think all
the readers, as well as the chief Of the
VINDIcAToR, owe Aunt Tabby vote
Of thanks for that letter, grammatical
errors Notwithstanding; but think it a
shame for girls that can write like Bes-
sic, Rachel and the Girl of the period,
Chat isn't the name for her thought,
each of whose letters were worth double
the subscription price of the paper, and
caused such ringing, joyous laughs,
(not little fashionable smiles, but the
regular old-time ARCHAEOLOGICAL
kind); say it is too bad for such girls
to have to be drawn out by such harsh
means.
l know Aunt Tabby, girls, and she
is not the long, lank, shrill-voiced, sour
visaged, traditional old maid you sup
pose, but just dislikes the class she
describes, | think; but you will, per-
haps, hear from her again. / can ac-
count for the backwardness of the girls

this: some flowers need to be crushed

CowARDICE AND COURAGE.

A COWARD ON BOARD THE PAT. ROGERS.
The Courier-Journal contains the follow
ing account of acts of infamy and bravery,
connected with the burning of the Pat
Rogers: In our notices of the late disaster
to the steamer Pat Rogers, We have given
many instances of heroism on the part of
officers, crew and passengers. But there
was one instance of such brutal cowardice
that the story of its details win hardly be
believed. We have the facts from sources
whose truthfulness can not be dousted, and
which demand a more elaborate account
than that given in our river
columns this morning. After
Charlie Dufour, who was at the
wheel at the time of the disaster, found it
impossible to longer control the boat, and
with the flames rapidly nearing his post of
duty, he ran down stairs to the passenger
deck. The passengers-men. women and
children, who had escaped from the cabin
were gathered in group, with many men,
bers of the crew and deck passengers, at the
bow of the boat on the lower deck. Dufour
found that the large lifeboat, which is placed

THE MORNING GLoRIEs.


The following, contributed by Helen V.
Austin to the Richmond Independent, is too
good to stop in that little paper: How prodi-
gal is nature in her gifts, in adjoining the
world! Take for an example the common
convolvulus. IT, perchance, few seeds are
in the ground, in due time they ger
inmate with all the faith that is in
them, and timidly unfold pale
green pair of leaves to breathe with, which
are as much the shape oflungs as any thing
else. Then the stem, that curls, and twines,
and reaches out for something to cling to,
putting forth as it grows dark. green, heart
shaped leaves. Our grandmothers used to
have strings for the morning glOries," to
run up'' beside the window and porch,
and though we think the vines pre-
for the strings, yet they Will press in their
service anything that gives them support.
The dear old fashioned grandmOthers used
to plant scarlet beans with the morning
glories they would grow together like one
family, and what shads, and what a lovely,
luxuriant display of green leaves and many
colored flowers they had! shade and
beauty, utility and adornment in
the common things; and so it is
the beautiful will cover deformities and
rough places if we will give it half chance.
The little stem of small beginning grows
and grows in the sunlight and the rain, and
sings to its secret heart and the ear Of
nature, the mysterious impulses Of its life.
Every time it completes circle in its spiral
growth. it puts forth a leaf and a
stem with flower buds-tiny things at first
in a few DAYS beautiful, delicately hued
cones resembling a certain kind OF shells
twisted and tightly sealed. We eat and
sleep; we live in peace or discomfort; we
grumble at the rain and sunshine and the
dews of night. The convolvulus
| is growing. 1t has covered the
abrupt corners and wreathed the
uncomely trellis; it has climbed to the top
of the porch and hangs in graceful festoons
over the old caves trough; it has completely
draped the window and reached over to the
peach tree. The sunfiower, with its crown
of gold, looks all the more grand and
| tropical, because of the graceful clinging
vine. The convolvulus. though it has been
steadily growing, suddenly surprises
the world with its splendid
beauty. In the darkness and
dews of night it has been getting ready, &C
cording to its own way, for grand dis play
after sun rise. Then the little cones are I'M
twisted and the beauty which was hidden is
revealed; each one different, yet all alike. A
new revelation has come with the opening
day, we are startled by a new creation,
though we have seen it's types a thousand
| times before. We stand enchanted and
think we are children again, and peep into
the bells, wondering if the fairies inhabit
them yet. The vine with its varied and
many hued flowers has brought forth pat
terms for vases and lace work, and all man
ner can be perfectly copied. The time of small
beginnings is past; the secret of the germ is
told; beauty overhangs and covers every
thing, and it is indeed, the "glory of the
morning.

PEA FOR HARD WATER.-The Rural has
found an NJ. ID. who states: It has been in
consestibly shown that in mountainous dis
tricts, where the water is more or less hard.
the inhabitants exhibit the best physical de-
velopment. On the other hand it is be-
lieved that in large cities the mortality is
inve-Sely as the hardness of water supplied
to the inhabitants. A gallon which contains
about six grains of carbonate OF lime to the
gallon Is suitable for use in all household
| purposes. AS drink and for cooking food
such water offers the necessary carbonate
of lime for the support of life in the sim
|
gested form, and is at the same time more
agreeable, fresh and sparkling. II is ev-
ideht that our preconceived popular notions
on the subject of hard water need revising
and that it may be better to use such water
than to have recourse to rain or ice water.
BALKY HoRsEs.-The Society for the Pre-
venticn Of Cruelty to Animals, puts forth a
set of rules for the treatment of balky
horses.
/. Pat the horse upon the neck; examine
the harness carefully, first on one side and
then on the other, speaking encoursgingly
while doing so; then jump into the wagon
and give the word go; generally he will
obey.
2. A teamster in Maine SAYS be can start
the worst balky horse by talking him out O.
the shafts and making him go around in
circle till he is giddy. If the tirst dance o.
this sort doesn't cure him, the second will.
3. To cure a balky horse, simply place
your hand over the horse's nose and shut of
his wind until he wants TO go.
4. The brain of horse seems to entertain
but one idea at time; therefore continued
whipping only confirms his stubborn re.

give him a new subject to think
Of, you will generally have nc
trouble in starting HIM. A simple remedy
is TO take couple of turns OF stout Irvine
around the foreleg, Just below the knee,
tight enough for the horse to feel, and tie in
) bow knot. At the first check he will gen
orally go dancing OIL, and after going short
distance you can get out and remove the
string, to prevent injury to the tendon in
your further drive.

hind legs, and tie it by n cord in the saddle

THE NEW CANDIDATES.


WHO THEY ARE AND WHERE FROM.
The first candidate on the new list, chosen
to fill the place of Noyes White, Secretary
of State, is
SAMUEL BOwLEs.
He is we'll known in Fountain county, and
for that matter throughout the State as we'll.
He is about As years of age, and is an ener-
getic, wide awake man. His profession
might be stated to be, to save souls, drive a
life insurance business, and entertain con-
gressional aspirations. His record Is dem
ocratic, in fact ''copperheadish," but voted
the Greeley ticket in 1872. Is said TO be a
strong man in his section of the country and
will. it Is said, run we'll as a candidate.
d. ]. TREsCoTT,
candidate for auditor of State, is a resident
of Posey county. He is on the shady side OF
3O,and is farmer, though he has had consid-
cradle experience as a school teacher in his
earlier days. His record is of the republi-
can stripe, added to which is that of being a
son of Mars, having served in the war of the
rebellion. He, too, is considered "strong''
nominee. especially in his own county.
WILLIAM A. PKELE,
of Wayne county, the nominee for attorney
general. is about fifty-ive years old. His
occupation was at one time that of farmer,
though the law now claims him as its own,
was secretary of state in 1860, and served as
judge of the criminal court of Wayne county.
His record smacks strongly of republican
ISM and he is further distinguished as being
a "Morton pet" His aspirations for office
and position in the grand army have not,
it is said. met with gratifying success, ana
he has this year turned from his old party to
the independent ranks. He resides in Cen
terville, and lays claim TO a large con-
stitusncy.
ANDREW II. GRAHAM,
Candidate for superintendent of public in
struction, who will solicit the votes of Bar
tholomew and adjoining counties, is resi-
dent of Columbus, of about 35 years of age,
and has been engaged in the profession of
teaching for number of years, at present
being at the head of the schools of the above
county. The index finger traces his
chart long republican line, but of late this
has been crossed by an independent mark.

is affirmed, make vigorous fight.

PRUNING ROSE BUsHEs.-The Fruit Re-
corder says: The best time to prune what
are termed garden roses" is immediatt y
after Towering, which is generally about the
middle of this month. Cut out all ex-
hausted wood, and, where too thick and
crowded, shorten those shoots which have
lowered to good, fresh, strong eye or bud,
accompanied with healthy leaf, but leav-
ing untouched such shoots as are still i'm a
growingcondition, except where they are bs-
coming irregular. Such should be cut to
the desired shape. There is not better
period of the year for putting these bushes
in handsome order. All wood that grows
after this pruning will ripen perfectly,
and producefine flowers next year.
CRANBERRY CROP IN WIsCoNsIN.-A
couple of weeks ago, says the Milwaukee
Journal of Commerce, the cranberry crop
gave promise of abundant yield. Now re-
ports come from the principal districts de-
voted to its culture stating that the crop will
be total failure. The cranberry worm has
devastated the marshes around Berlin. and
the excessive heat has -uined the prospects
OF even an average crop In the vicinity OF
Grand Rapids. The latest advices received
from the marshes in Burnett county were OF
a favorable character, and there was every
reason to expect an abundant yield; but
possibly by this time they have shared the
same fate of marshes in the eastern and
central parts OF the State. This is the third
year of the failure in the cranberry crop,
and we fear it will strike a severe, if not
fatal, blow to that branch of business in this
State.

The total valuation of 1850 was 81, 267, 751, :

was =, 2Ss, .219, showing an increase in
the succeeding decade of S265, 33S ,065. | am
aware that the rate of increase here shown
is greatly below the general estimate. and
that the census reports have been doctored
so as to show much greater rate of increase;
but this is obtained by arbitrarily fixing
a fictitious valuation on the several descrip-
tions of property in the nation. This,
think. is fallacious, for the bushel of wheat
will afford no more nourishment at two del
lars than at one dollar; and so of all other
