MORE MISNOMERS.

The Waverly Republican has two edit
ors, named Wetmore. But neither of
them is the editor who ate that water
melon.
A man (?) named Raper edits two pa
pers. one at Macarthur, and one at Chill
licothe; yet a jury, even the Tilton-
Beecher jury, if once they saw the man,
would acquit him of the charge, on the
ground of his utter physical and mental
incapacity.
One Armstrong edits paper; yet, if
his arm is no stronger than his mind,
this is one of the greatest misnomers on
record.
A man named Mayo edits paper. If
it was Must Owe, instead of May Owe, it
would apply to more editors than one.
There is an editor over at Greenfield
named Sprung. No editor was ever
known to be even half Sprung, in the
technical sense.
Springfield has an editor named Mich
OILS, but it is supposed that nickels are as
scarce with him as with most of us, and
that is saying good deal
Hillsborough has an editor named
Boardman And here we must stop; for
if he is not the nearest wooden man of
any editor within the circle of our ac-
quaintance then we are mistaken, that

It.seems that in our paper of two weeks
ago, in speaking of the indignation meet
ing in Ironton, we did injustice to-two
gentlemen, as the following from the
Ironton journal would imply:
The fact is, Col. johnson was put on that COM
mittee by the Democratic Leete in order to de-
ceive the people. He knew the Democrats had
the majority and could control the majority
report. Ex-Postmaster Steece consented to be
put on the committee in order that he might
express his opinion on the other side, which he
did, denouncing the outcry of Copperheads and
sustaining the action of the military.
Col. johnson must have been q ready
dupe in the hands of Hon. Ralph Leete
if he knew that the Democrats had the
majority, &c. But the Journal must ad-
NIT that both he and Ex-Postmaster
Steece knew the crowd they were mar
shaling in when they went there for the
purpose of censuring the action of the
President of the United States in sending
troops to New Orleans to keep order. Mr..
Steece may have meant strategy my boy"
but he should read very old story,
detailing how a certain dog Tray was
beaten for being found in bad company.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.
BY THE EDITOR.

Children who now go into the woods
have little idea of the security they feel,
when compared with similar excursions
forty years ago. There, were very few
bears then, and fewer panthers; but
wolves were plenty. Nearly all the set
tiers in this county were from the noun
tains of West Virginia, and were familiar
with the habits of wild animals; and the
old hunters, when together, would talk
by the hour of fearful contests with bears
and panthers. Wolves were so very wild
that they were seldom seen, but could
be heard almost every night. There is
no more terrifying sound than the howl
ing of a pack of wolves in the deep
woods, in the darkness of night. l have
seen the bravest dogs crouch near their
whining, when a pack of wolves were
bowling in the neighborhood
The old hunters had greater terror of
the panther than of any other wild ami
NAL. They said that the panther would
conceal itself upon the lower limbs of a
0lSS. uAO = SPA4llS upon PS4SOh DSiOre ne
knew it was there. And it was almost
useless to attempt to fight it, as it would
kill the stoutest man in minute or less
A practiced hunter stood a pretty good
chance in a fight with common black
bear, if he had his rife and a knife, or
even without his rifle, if he had the large
butcher knife generally carried.
There were very many reports, since
my recollection, of panthers having been
heard, and even seen, in this county !;
but l think most of these stories were
without foundation. 1t was said that
the cry of the panther sounded
much like the cry of woman in distress
and many believed that this cry was
device of the animal to attract men
within its power
Most of the children of the early set
tiers had, at one time OF another, to go

MENTAL COMPARISON OF MAN AND
WOMAN.
BY WINFIELD SCOTT.

''For woman is not undeveloped man,
But diverse could we make her as the man,
Sweet love were slain: whose dearest bond is
this
Not like to like, but like in difference"
Inasmuch as we find that woman S
emancipation and enfranchisement are
inevitab BILE, and that she will ultimately
come into possession of her rightful en-
pire, it is natural and right that we
search for the distinctions of man and
woman. If there be no difference in the
masculine and feminine natures, how
can there be change of principles and
systems? That such an alteration in
woman's condition as the extension OF
equal suffrage cannot fail to work the
most radical changes in society and State,
l do not question. In fact no one can,
who will give the subject reflection. Her
enfranchisement is fraught with momen-
tous consequences both to herself and
the world. Her introduction into public
affairs is something new and expert
mental. The extension of suffrage to
additional millions of men would not
necessarily make any change in existing
systems, for it introduces no new ele-
ment. But the admission of the feminine
power to a direct and equal share in Gre
ating and administering the laws and in
stitutions of society and state, would
doubtless be instrumental in bringing
about vital changes. Anything like a
fair and perfect experiment of woman
suffrage, is without example in the his
tory of the world Hence her equal voice
and influence with men in governmental
affairs is without precedent. How then
are we to draw our conclusions as to the
probable effect? The abundance of evi-
dence that we have of her character and
influence in other departments of life,
will be of immense worth in helping us
to form right conclusions respecting the
effect of her exercising functions which
are more exclusively civil and political.
We are left to determine the rest by the
study of woman herself We must fathom
the depths of womanhood, and learn
what are the actual qualities and ten
denotes of the feminine nature as dis
tinguished from the masculine. By an
adequate knowledge of these we may
form an idea of the kind of elements and
forces she will bring with her into this
new relation, and be able to decide with
considerable exactness their bearings
upon public affairs. Upon certain dis
similaritles of character existing between
the sex, rest the foundation of new
civilization. Many of our oldest advo-
Gates of Woman's Rights are claiming
that, if the same time, with equal facili-
ties for mental Improvement and the

years ago. He informed US that the
grasshoppers only make their appearance

settlers got in too late to raise any other
crop than corn, and the corn being de-
stroyed by the grasshoppers, universal

HAM AND Eees.-There is great diff
!; ference in the manner Of cooking this
popular dish. To get it as nice as pos
sible requires time and care. The fol-
lowing is suggested as something extra
nice: Cut the ham quite thick-say one
third of an inch at least. Boil it in
plenty Of water until barely cooked
through, pour off the water, and put
the pan in place just hot enough to
brown the fat part Of the ham slightly,
but not hot enough to make smoke,
or to brown the lean meat much. When
this is finished remove the frying pan
from the FIRE, take off the ham, pour off
the fat into cup, and wipe the pan till
it shines like a mirror, without single
speck to mar the polish. Then put in
spoonful of the clear part of the fat,
break in the eggs, and set the pan in
a place scarcely hotter than boiling wa
ter, cover it and let the eggs cook as
slowly as possible for four or five min
utes, taking them up as soon as they
can be lifted out. Place them around
the ham, and do not pour any of the
fat on the dish. Eat with mashed po-
tatoes.

:; RosE BEAD NECKLACE. Gather as ma
ny rose leaves as possible. Pound them
up in an iron mortar with an iron pestle
until reduced to perfect pulp. Then
shape into round balls the size desired
for your beads. Pass a very large pin
or needle through the middle of each,
and expose to the sun on a board or
dish. When dry they will be as black
as jet. very sweet, and ornamental in
proportion as they have been neatly
rounded and dextrously handled. They
may be strung upon finest wire, India
rubber, or thread, as the wearer pre-
s,fers.

To SToP BLEEDING AT THE NosE.--It is
worth while to know how to stop the
bleeding from the nose when it becomes
excessive. If the finger is pressed
firmly upon the little artery that sup
affected, the result is accomplished.
The two small arteries branching up
from the main arteries ON each side of
the neck, and passing over the outside
of the jawbone, supply the face with
blood. If the nose bleeds from the
right nostril, for example, pass the fin
ger along the edge of the right jaw till
the beating Of the artery is felt. Press
hard upon it, and the bleeding will
cease. Continue the pressure five min
utes, until the ruptured vessels in the
nose have time to contract.

How TO REMOVE WARTS. are
not only very troublesome, but dis
figure the hands. Our readers will
thank us for calling their attention to
the following perfect cure, even of the
largest. without leaving q scar: Take
a small piece of raw beef, steep it all
night in vinegar, cut as much from it
as will cover the wart, and tie it on, or,
if the excrescence is on the forehead,
fasten it on with strips of plaster. It
may be removed during the day and put
on every night. In one fortnight the
wart will die and peel off," The same
prescription will cure corns.

To CLEAN GLAss.-As a rule, warm
water and soft cloth are all that are
, required to keep glass in good condi-
ton; but water bottles and wine decant-
ers, in order to keep them bright, must
be rinsed out with little muriatic acid,
which is the best substance for remov-
ing the ''fur'' which collects in them.
The acid is far better than ashes, sand
or shot; for the ashes and sand scratch
the glass, and if shot is left in by acct
dent the lead is poisonous. Richly cut
glass must be cleansed and polished
with soft brush, upon which very
little chalk or whiting is put; by this
means the luster and brilliancy are pre-
served.

s@The following method of pre-
serving cider sweet is recommended as
superior to any other: "Allow the cider,
after it comes from the press, to stand
until the pomace settles. When this
point is reached I put it in o clear YES
sci, and let it come to boil, skimmine
of the scum carefully. It is then put
into kegs and demijohns, and tightly
-corked and sealed. By this process ]
have excellent sweet cider, not merely
for the entire winter, but for years
This method would not of course be
available where large quantities are
made, but for an ordinary family it an.
swers admirably.

WHOLESOME PIE CRUsT.-The most
healthy pie crust is made of thin, sweet

Another way is, sift quart or two of

a little salt and teaspoonful of soda
well pulverized. Putin the whole a cup
of soft (not liquid) lard, or butter and
lard mixed; stir it thoroughly with the
-four; next add two scant cups of sour
milk or buttermilk. Stir all quickly
with the. -four in such way HAL YOU
need hardly touch it with your hands
