ANOTHER NOMINATION.

Hon. NJ. R. WAITE, OF Ohio, who
was on Yesterday nominated for Chief
Justice OF the United States, has been'
until within a very few years past, I'M
known outside OF the State Of Ohio,
and even there his reputation was
somewhat narrowly circunscribed.
Until his employment in connection
with "the Geneva Arbitration" he had
scarcely been heard of by the people OF
tue country at large, and it is probably
due as much to the Presidents desire
70 reward some one for the success oil
that arbitration that the present nomi<
nation has been made, as to any pre-
eminent fitness 10 Mr.. WAITE for
the position of Chief Justice. The CUsH-
ING nomination was intended in part
as a recognition Of services rendered IN
connection with the Alabama claims.
When that failed, EvARrs was suggest
ed, but be was distssteiul to the Presi-
dent because of his defence Of ANDY
JOHNSON in the impeachment trial, and
the next choice consequently fell upon
Mr.. WAITE.
Mr.. WAITE resides in Toledo, and is
President Of the Constitutional Con-
yention now in session in Cincinnati.

mention him. We find in 1t the
name of one WAITE wlo was a
Brevet Bngadier General and one
who was q member of the Connects

Chief Justice finds no place in the li.t.
He may make very good Judge, how
ever, for all that, and We shall expect
to find his name in the next edition OF
all the encyclopedias and all the po-
litical almanacs. He is said to belong

The Unhappy Condition OF

lively Speaking"

From the Moundsyille National.
The present government Of West Vir'
GINA is a bastard one from beginning to
end. The courts are bastard, the
Constitution is bastard, both houses Of
the Legislature are bastard, the Cover
nor is q bastard, and every official APP
poiutment Of his is q bastard, fgura-
lively speaking. It is a, mixture be-
tween few mean white men and the
once virtuous State Of West Virginia.
1t is a rape upon the mother State, for
which every true son should rise up in
his might and crush the adulterer to
the earth. There is no law, no gov.
eminent, no nothing. The work OF
the fathers of the State is out
ragged and abused. Men of good stand
Ing should hold themselves aloof from
the vile and hell>born State that is
now upon us. They should not par
ticipate 10 any court. any legislature,
any public office whatever, If they vsl-
ue their honor, Or the virtue OF their
wives and daughters. So doing lowers
them in the eyes of all true men into
the depths Of prostitution and dishon-
or. ADy one who will adopt the new
systcm now in vogue will become a
bastard, an outcast from his parents
and ancestors, a miserable being,
whose treatment should arouse every
feeling of reverence for the mother
State, and for the future OF her chill
dren and her children's children.

LIrrlScorT's magazine for February is
at hand. Rev. George Macdonald be-
gins his new story Malcolm" which
promises to be one Of the best he has
written. The New Hyperion is very
attractively and quantity illustrated, and
the illustrated article Josephine and
Malmaison" will attract atten,ion. In
fact the whole number is sprightly and
readable. =
\ The GALAXY for February is also
here, and interesting as usual. General
Custer contributes another chapter Of
Life on the Palms." Justin Mccarthy
continues his charming story OF Linley
Rockford; and Richard Grant
White adds to his Linguistic
Notes and Queries chapter
on "Eoglisa Defiled." The Scientific
Miscellany is unusually full Of inter-
esting items, and Philip Quilibefs
"Drilt Wood" is full OF suggestive
thoughts.
WE have to thank the publishers Of
the Philadelphia Pubic Ledger for a
copy Of the Ledger Almanac for 1864.
This is the fifth annual issue of the al
manac, auditis high praise to say that it
isau improvement upon its predecessors.
The Ledger Is one Of the institutions of
which Philadelphians are justly proud,
and its already immense circulation
and influence are still increasing.

And bright with the deeds of the down -trodden

And names in the graves that shall not lie forgot
Yes, give me the land OF the wreck and the tomb
There's grandeur in graves, there's glory in
gloom;
For out Of the gloom future brightness is born;
As, after the night, looms the sunrise Of nom.
And, the graves of the dead, with the grass over

May yet form the foolstool Of Liberty's throne
And each simple wreck in the way-path Of night,
Shall yet be a rock in the temple of right

SALT-RisING BRGAD.-A correspondent Of the
Horsehold gives the following receipt for making
salt-rising bread, which is said TO be superior 10
common yeast bread, ard is considered by some
as more wholesome:
Pat three teacups of water, as warm as
you can bear your finger in, in two quart
cup or bowl, and three-four,hs Of tea
spoonful of salt; stir in -four enough 20
make quite stiff batter this is for tho
rising, or omptying, as some call it. Sat
the bowl, closely covered in kettle, in
warm water, IA warm as you can bear your
Gager in and keep it as near this temper
ature as possible. Notice tho time when
you set your rising in three hours stir
in two tablespOonfuis of -four, put it back,
and IN five and one-half hours from tho
time OF setting it win be within one inch of
the top Of your bowl. II is then light c.
nough, and will make up eight quarts Of
Hour; make a sponge ia tho centre of your
flour with one quart of water of the samo
temperature as rising, stir tho rising into
1t, cover over with a little dry -four, and
put 1t where it will keep very warm, but
not scald in three fourths Of an hour mix
this into stiff dough; if water is used, DO
sure 1t is very warm, aud do not work az
much as yeast bread make tho loavos "a
little larger, and keep it warm for another
three quarters Of an hour it will then DO
ready to bake. While rising this last tune,
have your oven heating it needs hotter
oven than yeast bread. II these rules are
followed you will have bread as white as
snow, with light brown crust, deliciously
sweet and tender.

The PoTATo ONIoS. - The French peo-
plo in Maine, who have cultivated aud rails.
Ell these onions more than any others, have
long been in the habit of preparing their
lands and setting them out in tho fall. In
this way they make sure Of their seed,
which might otherwise, DO lost by rot, for
We never Gnd an onion Of this sort hurt by
winter freezing 10 the ground, bu, tind them
we'll started 10 grow when the snow goes
OF. How this would DO whero they do not
have much snow aud much frozen ground,
we cannot say, bus this is always tho ease
there. Ii they can have highly manured
land, and the benefit of their FIRST start in
growth, they will grow to good size. An
other thing not generally understood is that
,he smaller the seed the better the growth.
They break The clusters apart, pick out tho
largest to cook aud plant the smallest, aud
the French even cut them in two. This
may seem an anomaly in scientific culture,
but IT is tho case in this one thiug--that
wee bits make tho largest onions.

CHANGE OF SEED The american ~

ing With all other graihs than corn Il
change of seed now and then il considered
advisable. Potatoes are especially improy-
ed from different locality and soil. But
corn has not generally been found to deto-
rlorote by long planting; on the other
hand, there are many farmers who are now
planting seed produced FROM the corn their
fathers planted generation ago. Running
out OF the corn is more likely to be the 20.
suit of impoverished soil, and the best me-
thod Of improvement would probably be a
crop OF clover upon the land, to be plowed
