a Familiar Subject.

After the persistent drumming the Re
uiep has given the sidewalk question for
the last three years, it is a satisfaction to
note the progress now being made. The
Revieso has spoken of this matter soberly
and seriously, in season and out of season,
in prosperity and adversely. 1t has quoted
law, religion, and poetry, medicine, surge
ry, and ethics to show the need Of this i'm
provement; it has urged the dangers, the
privations and the culpable neglect of not
having sidewalks; it has alluded to the
profanity of men and the curses of women
which have so long been heaped upon the
powers that-be for their delay in investing
in lumber. Preachers have preached up
on it, lawyers legalized, and children cried
over 1t; but fortunately the beginning of
the end is at hand. And for this down.

thanks to Mayor Wheelock and the mem

All your writing, and all your preachers
preaching did no good, until THE ARGUS

sidewalk question properly ventilated; then

sylvania, has one hundred votes pledged
to his support for the speakership of the
next house of representatives. We have
been unable to discover the source from
whence this statement emanated, or that
it has any foundation in fact. 1t probably
originated in the fertile brain of one of the
the friends of the candidate it was intended
to benefit.
In an article on the speakership, a
prominent Tennessee journal says, "The
statement that Mr.. Randall can get the
votes of the south and west has no foun-
dation in fact the south and west will go
for Kerr or Cox"
An eastern paper suggests that Mr.. Cox
should withdraw and leave clear field for
Mr.. Kerr. We can see no reason for this.
If the candidacy of the distinguished gen
tleman from New York was personal
matter, such a suggestion might have
weight, but as Mr.. Cox is the choice Of
those who urge him not more from per-
sonal considerations than from the earn
est conviction that his usefulness to the
country would be greater were he to occu-
py the speakers chair than any other man
who could be selected, his friends will un-
der no circumstances consent to q with
drawal ofhis name.

The Gallipolis, Ohio, Bulletin. of Aug.
18TH, edited by Hon. John j.. Vance,
member-elect to the next congress. has the
following editorials regarding the speaker
ship:
I'm April last we gave our views at
length in regard to the speakership of the
next house OF representatives, We have
seen no reason to change them. Since
then, the subject has attracted more or
less attention, and as the time approaches
for the assembling of congress, the sub
ject naturally assumes greater interest.
The claims of the gentlemen prominently
urged for the position are fully discussed.
and we are pleased to observe that per.
sonal preferences and sectional claims have
been very generally merged into the broad
er issues which are vital to the policy of
the Democratic party of the whole Union,
and the demand of the masses is that the
next house shall signalize its return to the
true faith of an enlightened public policy,
by the selection of presiding officer
whose past course has been free from all
faint OF public corruption, and whose con-
gressional experience has been suhi-
GENTLY extensive to render him ia

vexed questions Of parliamentary law and
precedent, but which has moreover gwen
him an insight into those dark by.ways
through which public funds have found
their way into private pockets. The dis
position OF the money voted to sustain GER
tain of the executive departments in which
extensive frauds are known to have been
perpetrated will, in all likelihood, become
the subject for congressional investigation,
and it is matter OF supreme importance
that the speaker, whose duty it will be TO
select and appoint such committees as
have the investigations in charge, shall be
man whose public career has been distin-
guished by opposition to all those schemes
of public plumber which have formed so
large part of the legislative business of
the last few years. We have looked in
vain for one substantial objection to the
gentleman mentioned as the FIRST choice of
the Bulleti-the Hon. s. S. Cox, of
New York-and while we have met with
some journals which have other prefer
ences, yet they all concede the business of
Mr.. Cox's claims, and applaud the purity
and consistency of his course. His cleo
ton as speaker would be evidence to the
nation that the Democracy mean reform in
the legislative branch Of the government.

As these are always in leaf it is therefore i'm
portant in planting to secure a quick action of
the roots, in order TO sustain the foliage. Early
in the Spring the ground is cold and wet, and
the roots cannot take hold; and therefore sharp,
drying winds are very likely to exhaust the tree
of all its juices before a new supply can be OBJ
tanned. Late Fall planting is still worse-fOr
the roots remain dormant for much longer
time, and evaporation from the leaves is going
on to some extent throughout the Winter. In
May and June the weather becomes warm-the
roots are ready for action, and consequently the
time is favorable for removal. But the cOndi-
tons are even more favorable in August and Sep
tember. At this season the ground is thorough
ly warmed through, and as the night begins TO be
cool and dewy, the earth gives, as it were, gen
tie bottom heat. 1t is surprising to find with
what readiness and vigor the roots now aet-ot-
ten showing signs of growth within three days
after planting. There is this additional advan-
tage over May, that the tree has made all its
growth for the season, and nearly matuTed its
wood, SO that it is not in need of such full flow
of sap as when the young growth is starting, or
is sueculent, and the plant has need of all its
ergies During the Autumn months, the earth
being warmer than the atmosphere, while the
wood is simply maturing, not growing the roots
on the contrary are in vigorous action, and will
insure sufficient strength to resist the succeeding
Winter, and also the best possible action for sub
sequent growth.-Neur England Farmer.

How 10 Dress salad.

In the Spring of the year there is nothing
that comes on the table that is more pleasant,
palatable and refreshing, than salad properly
dressed. We may add that, to our taste, there
are few things less inviting when poorly dressed
or not dressed at all. How often have our pal
ates been disguised and our feelings been shock
ed by sitting at table on which was a nice dish
of early lettuce, but nothing to use on it save
vinegar and (maybe) sugar, or (horesco refer
ense!) bountiful supply of bacon grease! Here
is a recipe for salad dressing which we have Of
ten used, and We guarantee that it will augment
the flavor and promote the digestibility of the
salad. Take the yolks of three hard boiled eggs,
crumble them with fork or spoOn-using silver,
if you have it-and about n teaspoonful OF
ground mustard, teaspoonful each of sugar and
salt, and mix them all well together Then add
in three portions dessert spoonful of pure olive
oil, and rub the whole into uniform smoothness.
The addition of twice the quantity of oil adds to
the flavor with many, and is certainly very
healthy. Next give a dash of Cayenne pepper
or pepper sauce; finally add a gill of vinegar
With a little experience, tact, and patience, adj
ding to or essening any of the ingredients accOr-
ding to taste, any of our lady readers will be en-
abled to furnish their salads in such a style as
will delight the palate and call for a blessing up.
ON the head of the housewife. When brought
to the table, it will be well to have the salad
plentifully sprinkled with slices of hard boiled
egg.

Cemen. fer Wounded Trees.

Take of air-slacked lime three parts; linseed
oil three parts: common COW dung three parts (;
black pitch two parts. Mix the first three in
gradients thoroughly together with a spatuia,
and add the pitch after it has been fuidifed and
heated over a good fire. If the cement is too
thick to be applied with brush it may be thin
ned to the requisite consistency by adding more
pitch, or suffciency of liDseed oil and spirits OF
turpentine in equal proportions. This cement
bears n strong resemblance to the celebrated
'Forsyth's Cement" but is less costly and equal
ly efficient when applied to wounds and bruises
in every kind of trees. When large limbs are re-
moved, coating of this applied to the stumps
will prevent rot, and promote the healing of the
wound. Decay in the trunks of apple and other
trees may be speedily and effeetually arrested
by cutting away the diseased parts, and filling
in the cavity with this cement, properly thick
ened for the purpose with an additional quanti-
ty of the first four ingredients in their proper
relative Observation-Disclosures Telegraph.

Peas and Potatoes.

When planting your potatoes, drop from
six to eight peas in each hill, or if in row, ev-
cry three or four inches single pea. In this
way a crop may be raised at very small expense.
As the peas start early in the season, they will
be sufficiently advanced to be out of the way by
the time the potatoes are large enough to hoe
Peas raised in this way will be less liable to suf-
fer from the attacks of the bug or fly; the crop
will also be much purer or free from extraneons
matters, which are an injury to the peas, wheth-
er designed for market or domestic use. The
large marrowfat pea is perhaps the best variety
that can be selected for this mode of cultivation
1t yields well, is highly edible, and commands a
renunerative price in the market. When broad
casted, it is thought not to be productive as
many of the smaller varieties. Where the soil
is rich, it exhibits an incorrigible tendency to
produce an exhOrbitant quality of haulm, with
few pods and few perfectly developed peas.
Planted with potatoes, these habits are reversed.

Why She Hadn't Written.

Within the last few days an old beggar woman,
having been admitted into the kitchen of one of
our most prominent citizens, was mournfully re-
lating to the lady of the house the misfortunes
of her life. She said her husband went to Cali
fornia to dig gold great many years ago. but
had never been able to find more than enough to
keep himself alive, so, of course, he had never
sent her any; that, until within a few years,
they had continually written each other letters
full of love and sympathy. At this point the
fiOod-gates of her grief burst open; she sputter-
ed and sighed at terrible rate, and finally, after
several Intellectual efforts calculated that she had
not heard from, or even written to her darling in
4 long time. The old woman drew long breath,
and was about to continue, when the lady of the
house asked her why she had not written TO her
husband. "Ah, num- sighed she, after lost
my front teeth, couldn't pronounce very good
so had to give up writingn-ToledO BLnde
