REMARKABLE PRESENCE OF MIND-.The

REMARKABLE PRESENCE OF MIND-.The
Athens Northeast Georgian gives the following
remarkable instance of presence of mind: A
Young lady of this city, a few days since, was
passing Mrs. Vincent's, when, upon the side
walk. she encountered rather fierce looking
dog. Discovering tha: the dog was rather saw,
agely inclined, she retained hef presence of
mind enough to pass him without showing the
least sAarm. Just as she did So the dog sprang
full upon her shoulders. Turning her head ana
looking the dog full in the face she commanded
him to get down, which he at once did. but, IN IN
doing so, tore her dress skirt almost entirely off,
She then, with great GOODNESS, simply remarked,
s'Bcgone, sir; amt you ashamed of yourself"
The dog tucked his tail and trotted of, as if he
had been -whpped-ouly ly damaging the
lady to the extent of a torn dress.
From this most remarkable case of presence
of mind, let other young ladies learn that cool
ness and self-possession will greatly lessen their
danger should they ever be similarly situated.
And the occurrence certainly oug hit to prove to
all who may own watchdogs the Importance of
Keeping them we'll secured within their proper
places.

EDITORS WoRK.-The Cincinnati Gazette
has sensible and timely article on the edito-
rial sanctum and its visitors. from which we
make the following extracts: - 4
Not all who visit editorial rooms are intru.
ders or bores but great many are, and these H.9
are so numerous that all visitors are looked up
on with some degree of suspicion until their
business becomes known. 1t is never pleasant
to be interrupted in editorial work. 1t has 8
tendency to make men cross. There is a pres
sure upon editors. They work nearly all the
time under pressure Often their ideas do
not flow freely, and when they are not pleasing
themselves they are not in mood to spend
much time upon those who interrupt them.
We suppose it is safe to say that three-fourths
of those who call to see "the editor have no
business properly with that individual. Of
ten they do not know him personally, and IN
order to find him they interrupt half dozen =,
men who have important work to 40, ana only
q limited time to do it in. Then, if they re.
ceive short answers, they feel aggrieved anu
talk about impol:te treatment .,
The editorial rooms of a newspaper establish
ment are private, and are only to De vlslfed
except as matter of favor by those VINO nave
business that concerns the editor. Ihe pest
wav, if people have something to say to an co,
itor, is to write that something. down ana
send it to him. This would save time OH !. ootn
sides, and answer better purpose, nine e., times
out of ten, than personal interviews we ae-
sire to put, in general word for editors,in, the
hone that visitors who,make raids upon them
and consider themselves entitled to large
portion o5f time which they can not yield with
out neglecting business that can not be- post
poned, will have mercy upon the craft; "a
newspaper is a sort of a tread-mill in WHICH WHICH
the work is never done. 1t rcvolves without
cessation, and has none of your eight or ten.

Relics Of the Departed

Here is something tender and touching,
which an old editor wrote relative to the loss
of his little son, "Jack." -.
ssI saw wife pull out the bottom drawer of
the family bureau this evening, and went soft
" out. and wandered up and down, until
knew that she had shut it up and gone to her
sewing. We have some things laid away in
that drawer which the gold of kings could not
buy. and vet they are relics which greye us un-

look Mt them for year, but l remember each
article. There are two worn shoes, a little
chip hat, with part of the brim gone, some
stockings pants, a coat, two or three ,sPoois,
broken crockery, whip, and several toys
Wife-poor @thing-goes to that drawer every
day of her life and prays over it, and lets her
tears fall upon the precious articles, but dare

window where his blue eyes used to sparkle at

Mr.. CHAMDERLA1N's OrPoRTUNITY.-The
South Carolina Conservatives have once more
turned their attention to the subject OF mi
nority representation" They find in the re-
cord of Mr. Chamberlain decided expression
in favor of cumulative voting. When that
gentleman was before the Taxpayers" Conven-
ton, rs Attorney General of the State, in
1871, he fully admitted the necessity OF some
means of modifying the absolute control
which mere numerical majority had obtain
ee eenec ~f'a and I property proper representation"
He expressed hnsefas CONVINCED e., that the Gu
would prove itself right in its results" The
Conservatives now ask him to adhere to his
convictions, and to secure the passage of a
measure establishing proportional representa-
,ion, in order that the property-owners may
protect themselves. Mr.. Chamberlain certain
" has an opportunity to do much toward al
leviating the burdens of the oppressed taxpay-
ers of the State-Nsw York Sun.

On the Proper Fronting OF. our Dwelling

There is more Of comfort and convenience
involved in this. than people generally believe,

through the country, they may be seen looking
to any and all points Of the compass. A loca-
tion is selected, perhaps, with reference to some

Of location: IA house must have either its side
or front to, the street. This is unavoidable.
In the country Except in some rare cases)
there is free choice Of all points of the COM
pass. Experience proves clearly that in our
Southern country, at least, few degrees east
of south, is the best fronting for our dwelling
houses. The following advantages may be
enumerated:

ly all day, a very important consideration for
health as we'll as comfort. In the absence of
the piazza, the sun is let into the front rooms.
All writer's on Hygiene lay great stress upon
the healthful influences of sunlight, not for
warmth and comfort only, but for decidedly
sanitary effects. Every room used either for
sitting or sleeping purposes, should havessthe
sunshine admitted for some period of the day.
The sunny piazza, thus protected from the
cold north and northwest winds, furnishes q

invalids. lH.s.a.l. f.; y. . 80 ..
In. summer, the sun being more vertical,
does not enter the piazza. And here, let us
recommend, as great addition to the comfort
of our Southern houses, q projection of the
caves of tile piazza some three or four feet be-
yond the house. thus throwing off the suns
rays for that distance, and giving a dry sitting
place after heavy rains. These projections are
quite common in our summer pineland villages,
and add much to their comfort. The sontherly
winds, also, have free access to the front rooms,
and the slight easterly facing has the. effect Of
casting the afternoon sun outside the piazza,
leaving it free for use by four or FIVE o'clock;
and through the evening and night exposed TO
whatever breeze may be stirring. M
This facing is, therefore, best, both for win,
ter and summer. A north facing gives cold
and cherries aspect, chilling the whole house
by every blast from the north, whilst in sum-
mer the front rooms are cut off from the south

facing are Objectionable for the same reasons,
neither of them giving the benefit of the
healthful sunshine of winter, nor the retresh'
ing breezes of summer.-Rurol Carolin'an.

mode of operation is this: / take two
twigs of the last years growth, of suffi
cient length to reach across the denuded
space, and, as soon as the bark of the tree
will slip-usually when the buds are
swelled nearly to opening-engrart the two
ends OF the twigs into the tree under the
bark, one end above the injured space and
the other below. They Immediately grow
in, and thus the space is bridged over, and
the sap has free course from the root to all
parts of the tree. The twigs should be
tapered at the two ends. precisely as for
splicing; the bark of the tree above the
injury should be slitted supward and that
below downward, and the bark slightly
raised. rs in budding, to admit the inser-
ting of the tapered ends of the twigs. The
tapered ends of the twigs should, of course,
rest against the wood of the tree. thus
bringing the bark of the tree and the twigs
in contact. The better they are made to
fit ut the union the more certain will the
success Of the operation be. The gratis
should then be well secured in their places
by bandages OF best mating OF other suit
able material put tightly around them at
each end If the earth can be drawn up
around the tree, so rs to entirely cover the
upper end of the gratis. no other protec-
ton will be needed but if this cannot be
done, the air should be excluded the same
as in any other grating by the application
of grating wax. TIE operator will I'M
derstand, of course, that the two twigs
should be placed on opposite sides of the
tree. | have saved numbers of valuable
trees by this process. and in many cases
they continued their growth apparently as
well, almost, as if no injury had been
done them, and they generally made good
healthy trees.
