 How TO MAKE WHITEwAsH.- The season for whitewashing and house-cleaning is at hand. Few persons know how to calcine a wall so that it will not miscolor every article of clothing that hap pens to come in contact with it. The materials are not expensive, but skill and judgment are requir- ed in their selection. Here is the recipe: Soak four ounces of white glue in a quart of warm water for twenty or twenty four hours, then add pint of water, place the yes sel (tin) in kettle of hot water over the fire, and agitate the glue until it is thoroughly dissolved and the solution quite clear. Now put five or six pounds of powder ed Paris white (costs three cents a pound) into a large bucket, and add hot water till of the consisten- cy of cream. Then mix the glue with it, stir it well, and put on with an ordinary whitewash brush. It is of the utmost importance that the calcining mixture be spread smoothly, and if too thick, q little water should be added. The quantities given above is suf- ticient for two coats on q large room eighteen feet square.

 LITTLE RocK, June 2l, lSI5 Hon. William R. Miller, auditor:
 DEAR SIR: Yours asking al what time, under the existing laws, the county courts of the sev eral counties are required to levy the county taxes, is before me and in reply, I have to say that Section l of an act of the genera assembly of the state, approved March, 8, 1875, amending section "A of the act of the 9th of March 1875, provides that;
 "The county judges, with a ma jority of the justices of the peace of each county, shall constitute a court in levying the taxes, and in making the appro- priations for the expenses of the county, and the said court shall be held on the fourth Mondays ir October of each year (except the county of Sebastian, in which court shall be held on the first Monday in October at Greenwood and on the second Monday in Oc, tober at Fort Smith, for such levyings, and shall be q construc- tive notice to each justice of the peace," etc.
 This is the law now in force, being the latest action upon the subject. Very truly yours,

cipal points here as well as on the con-
tin, Mt and the demand is not as yet ur-
gent, operators knowing this, and the
probability OF liberal farmers deliveries
curing this and next month are doing
their best to depress prices, in order to
make inyestm ents next November at as
low rates as possible. With large tar
mers' deliveries they will succeed, but a
decrease in receipts would Illustrate
their plans. Hence the only remedy is
in the farmers hands, and as there can
be no reasonable doubt as to an advance
later in the season it would seem pru-
dent on their part to exercise this check
on reckless depreciation OF their pro-
ducts. We are about the only country
in the world that has an average crop Of
good quality and it is all wanted at bet
ter prices. All that is necessary is lit
tie patience, as Europe will deplete their
own granaries before they bid up.

nding an unusually large bulk Of straw,
nearly the whole was secured without inter-

prospects were most promising for every az
scription Of crop, bnt subsequently these were
blighted by the heavy rains which fell from tue
26th June to the oath July. Wheat appears 70

eral this grain is more or less brown, osrse
and small beTried, and much OF it, indeed,
very thin and inferior, We have, nevertheless,
a very fair proportion Of very usefnl red OF
comparatively good body and color. The
whole was secured in good condition and free
from spIont, and the weight varies from 60lbs
of, and on our best wheat lands is undoubted-
ly very deficient; still there will he exceptions,
aud the lighter soils may be expected to give
relatively better result.

cooler; and rain has fallen since our last re-
port. Farmers are engaged preparing the land
for ia sowing There IL more firmllesS in the
wheat trade, and buyers have to pay fully as
much money as was obtained last week.

The New York Ford seems to take q blue
view OF business prospects in that city.
According to that paper the season is the
dullest ever known there, surprising that OF
last spring, which followed Immediately
upon the panic, and was thought To be as bad
rs II possibly could he. The dullness does
not seem TO he confined To any special section
Of the city or TO any particular business. 1t
Is general business stagnatiOn, sort of
after wave Of the panic OF 70. There are about
one-t third more buildings now open To rent
than there were year or year and a half
ago; and the temporary rentals are in many
cases at reduction of between thirty and
forty per cent. 1t seems to be evident, by
the way. that not only in New York, but
throsehout the country the rate OF rents
must come down permanently from war
prizes.

It might be suggested TO the conductors of
spelling matches that hereafter they select
words in common use, and not unusual or
technical words which are seldom used by
anybody. OF the latter class OF words are
two given out by President Gallaudet last
night-"C yme" and "syzygy." The great
majority of persons participating in these
contests can boast of nothing more than a
good common school education. and are not
supposed to be familiar with many technical
words II class composed of students in
astronomy were to be examined il would of
course be in order TO introduce technical
words pertaining to that science. The same
principle would apply IN case of botanical or
other students pursuing particular branches
OF science. What most OF the contestants
want is to know how to spell words in ordi-
nary use in writing and speaking. After
they acquire this knowledge they will per-
hsps be ready to tackle such orthographical
monstrosities as "syzygy.' Meanwhile,
should they have occasion to make use of
technical words the dictionaries will furnish
them with the proper photography. As a
rule, however, President Gallaudets selec-
lions last night were very good

&c will be seen by the extracts from the
Cumberland, Nd, papers we print elsewhere
that the prospects OF the coal trade on that
work this year are OF the gloomiest. The rail-
road companies reduced the freight on coal
twenty-five cents per ton, and the canal
managers, with their usual feebIeness in an
emergency, meet this by reduction of only
eight cents on toll and wharfage The conse-
quenee Is that leading mining companies are
sending coal by railroad which il was in
tended TO ship by canal, and the probability
Is that the canal will do no coal trade at ali
this year, unless a wiser and more liberal
policy is adopted and q further reduction
made In tolls.
