COLONY PLAN-South Pueblo is being
settled by the Denver & Rio Grande Rail
way, in regular course of their plan for
the systematic development of the coun-
try along the line of their route, under
the same plan of colony which has proved
so successful in the case of Colorado
Springs, the great pleasure and health
resort.
This plan secures to the individual
settler all the advantages and reductions
of colony emigration without subjecting
him to the ordinary limitations of colo
NAL enterprises, i. e., moving with large
body, or at a given time.
Full details of this plan, with pamphlet
and map, will be furnished by either

Paris Green.

LAST year, when the demand for Paris
green arose in consequence of the potato
beetles depredations, a large quantity OF
adulterated green was thrown upon the
market and sold at full prices. Several
grades are manufactured, ranging in price
from twenty to forty cents pound. 1t Is
put up in cans containing fourteen or
twenty-eight pounds, and when purchased
in these from well known dealers may be
regarded as pure. AS the average farmer
does not require whole can, two or three
individuals will find it to their advantage
TO club together, ordering directly from
the factory. There are two ways of using
the green. First, in the form of powder
mixed with forty or fifty times its bulk of
plaster, or flour, or fine .niddlings, and
busted over the potato tops. Second, as
II liquid, mixing IL tablespoonful of the
green with twelve quarts-lh;:t is To say,
about pailIul-of water, sprinkling il
with coarse brush. The liquid method
is believed to be the best, as the operator
is far less likely to be poisoned.
In handling the green great care is
necessary. Packages should be invariably
marked "poison" in large letters. In
mixing it a fine dust is apt to arise, and
this unconsciOusly inhaled or absorbed
through the pores is apt to be injurious.
While working with il the hands and face,
anu especially the nOStrllS, should be pro
tected as much as possible, and carefully
washed after the job is done. Utensils in
which it is placed should never be used
for any other purpose, as the green penc-
trates wood and lodges in the cracks of
metals and in the pores of earthenware
Scratches on the person, however slight,
develop into malignant sores if the green
effects lodgment. The free use of milk
as beverage is undoubtedly good anti
dote, but the best is lydrated peroxide of
iron. This may be had of any druggist.
1t is quite harmless. Used as salve on
sores caused by the green, it prevents their
progress, and il should be taken internally
twice day while working with the green,
a teaspoonful being dissolved in \ wine
glass of water for the purpose.-Ohio

Teach Your Children Practical HOrti
culture.

AS children have everything to learn,
it is important that some competent and
patient person should give them encour-
aging instruction about preparing the
SOIL and planting seed. A great many
intelligent and highly-cducated adults
Know nothing about gardening. How,
Then, can young children be expected to
prepare The ground or put in the seed
without first being taught how to do it :?
II children are at all inclined to work in
The garden, lay out plat of rich land for
the boys where they may raise all kinds
OF vegetables and a little spring grain;
and designate another plat as flower
garden for the girls, and manure the soil
6ountifully and let it be plowed or spaded
ueep. Then encourage the children to
mark out the ground in drills, and make
small beds here and there for raising only
few specimens of every valuable veg
etable that is usually produced in kitchen
gardens. Provide bountifuI supply of
flower seeds for the girls, and encourage
them to plant, cultivate and love flowers.
See also that they have suitable tools to
work with, and do not turn them away
with an old hoe or a miserable spade that
skillful gardener would reject with
scorn. The heavy labor of preparing the
soil should be performed by strong
man, as the strength of children soon
fails when engaged in such fatiguing la.
Dor as spading the garden, especially if
the soil be heavy. If required to do the
spading themselves they Often become
disheartened in their gardening opera
tons; and for the want of little assist
ance they abandon the enterprise and
engage in something else. By means of
few dimes worth of seed and few
hours work and few encouraging
words small children may be taught les
sons in agriculture, horticulture and
Horticulture that will be of untold value to
them when they grow up-N Y Herald

How TO PREPARE CALF's HEAp.-A

correspondent of the New York Tribune,
who signs himself Michigander," thus
tells how to prepare this usually neglected
dish, so that it will be fit to grace Kings
table. He says 1t had to be washed in
cold water and then scalded. The hair
was then scraped of clean, and the head
split with sharp ak down the center,
from between the ears to the snout, into
two equal parts. The tongue is not re-
moved, but is split along with the rest of
the head nor are the ears cut of. The
brains are then removed and washed in
cold water. The head is washed in sew
eral waters until perfectly clean. One
half of the head will make a dinner for
six or seven hearty people, which, at the
price the head costs, is certainly cheap

HIGH SHOALS.

Remember, one and all, that Saturday next
the 25th inst, is the day appointed for the
Stockholders meeting at the above named
place, and it is to be hoped that the meeting
will be attended by every one who can be
present, whether they are individually inter
ested or not, as the project will in the end
prove to be for the general good of the County.
AS will be seen by reference to the Acts of the
General Assembly, published on the outside
this week, the Legislature, in order to encour-
age home industry and home manufactures,
passed an Act freeing from taxation for ten
years from the time of commencement of ope-
rations, Except two mills for school tax,) all
industrial and manufacturing institutions. The
heavy burthen Of taxation not being imposed
for so long period, gives to the projected fac
tory an additional stimulus; and with the
necessary amount of funds for its commence
ment, and sufficient zeal on the part of the citi-
zens, it must be grand success.

Railroad Meeting.

The Walhalla Courier announces "thata aprop-
osition is under consideration to call meeting
of the corporators of the Peoples Accommo-
dation Railroad at an early day, and it is
thought the meeting will be held at Anderson
G. H., as the most accessible point for all per-
SONS interested. This road proposes to connect
Walhalla with Augusta, Ga, by way Of An
dersonville, intersecting the Augusta and
Hartwell road at some point beyond the Tu-
galoo River. The act authorizes like road
from Anderson G. H."
We are glad to know that the railroad spirit
Is not entirely submerged in this region, and
that some persons actually contemplate the
building of railroad in the direction of Au-
gusta. The charter of the Peoples Accommo-
dation Railroad has not been made public
through the newspapers, so far as we are in
formed, end we cannot undertake to estimate
its particular advantages to our town and
county. But we trust the corporators will
assemble here at an early day, and let the pub
lic know their plans and purposes.

An Extraordinary Claim.

A Washington letter informs US that the
Senate committee on claims has before it a
singular petition from one Frank Arnim, of
Hamburg, who claims that he captured the
last ledger of the Southern Confederacy and
delivered it to the Treasurer of the United
States in 1867 He says that through the in
formation contained in the ledger, the govern
ment obtained lot Of Confederate gold which
had been secretly transmitted from Anderson
@. II. to Augusta. He intimates that $4,000
would be reasonable compensation for this ex-
traordinary service. The committee applied
to Gen. Spinner for information OIL the subject,
and Gen. S. writes that the aforesaid gold was
captured two years before the ledger was re-
ceived by him, although he says the ledger
contained some valuable information. Where
did Arnim capture the ledger7 He was on a
whiskey raid in Pickens District about the
year 1867, and captured large number OF
stills from the people, transcending his author
ity in the premises, for which he was removed
from office and lodged in Jail at Greenville.
We do not remember that he ever visited this
section of the State on any other occasion, and
must conclude that he found this invaluable
relic of the Confederacy in one of the vacant
and unoccupied still-houses of Pickens.
