Says Mrs Cornelius, ia her Young House
keepers Friend 4" Potatoes should be put
into the cellar as soon as they are dug. Ly-

makes them wateryr How does this idea

our practical farmers2 We should be happy
to hear from them upon this subject.

That slavery was not profitable to the
southern people, is illustrated by the follow
ing extract from the Courier j Journal:
George w. Adair, of Atlanta, says, F" Be-
fore the war kept four negroes on my lot
Washington, man-of-all.work, valued at
$500; Sarah, a No ! cook, 81, 400; Har.
rIet, house girl, $1,000; and Nancy a
nurse, 5000. The legal interest (seven per
cent? on the value of these slaves was $500
per annum, and | had to feed, clothe, pay
doctors bills, etc. Now | have the same
service performed at $500 per anuum. |
feed these hired servants, but furnish no
clothing nor pay doctors bills, and get the
same service per month for less money than
when owned slaves, and il they die lose
nothing. Now, when acquire my capital l
eau put it in other property, instead Of lock-
ing it up in slaves This, think, illustrates
the whole question. The land owner can
avail himself of negro labor to-day at less
cost than when he had to pay for the slave
and take care Of him. This labor cannot be
controlled so absolutely as slave labor, and
more or less irregularities grow out Of it
still it is available and susceptible of being
used to great profit by the land owner
Planters who owned slaves, who now remain
upon their land and give personal attention
to the crops, can make more clear money
from the soil than under the old system.
| The South is becoming every year more
familiar with FREQ labor, and understand,
better how to manage it. She is becoming
more self.reliant and self-sustainlng p.
Such demonstrations will do more to re
concile the South to their situation thar
preaching or bayonets. They will convince
the people that the lost cause will in the
end prove real gain. 'l1 rr.a

Among the present students of Dartmouth
College, we find eigaty-six Vermont boys,
while only twenty-iour are from New HamP'
shire. This is a strange and suggestive
fact, when we consider that Vermont has two
well-equipPed and well-managed colleges Of
her own. We believe that at either Middle
bury, or the Vermont University, q young
man may receive as thorough drill as al
Dartmouth, and we know he would be sur
rounded by as good influences, to say the
least. Why, then, send our sons out of the

The Hudson river railroad company has
ordered that hencsforth the pestilent swarm
of vendors Of prize candy, dime novels, figs,
lOzeDges, stationery packages and legion OF
other denominations familiar to the public,
shall keep their rubbish out Of the laps Of
passengers. If anybody is beguiled by the
inherent aLtractiyeness Of their wares into
purchasing, they are free to make all they
can out of him, but not to compel passengers
to accept their goods as call loans. The
railroad have right doubtless to rent their
cars to psdders, but they hAYsnO business to
rent the laps Of passengers as show Cases.

1t is worthy of special notice that among
the most persistent stimulators Of the trouble
at Fall River,were Englishmen, fresh from the
English trades unions, who made desper-
ate effort to prevent the operatives from any
agreement with their employers. These
English emigrants, like all others, are well
come to our Shores provided they will con-
form to our laws and system. Otherwise,
they had better stay at home.

Converting potatoes into what is termed
farina or potato -four, is an extensive bust
ness in Europe, yielding millions Of pounds
sterling annually, Tho process is said to be
as follows The potatoes are peeled in the
raw state. They are then crushed or ground
into an impalpable pulp, which is we'll
washed. The water is then eVaporated,
leaving pure white residuum, which is the
flour or iarina. According 10 Alex. s.

costing S45, should yield one ton Of farina
worth 500, leaving s55 for wear, tear and

Returning Good win.


On the 9Th Of September, 1868, Major
Henry O. Dane Of the 4lst Massachusetts
regiment was compelled to surrender him
self and his sword to the confederates at
"Sabine Pass" He was in due time ex.
changed as prisoner Of war, but his sword
remained in the hands Of the enemy. Some
two months ago Mr. John S. Moore, a mer-
chant Of Galveston, Texas, was passing by
an auction room and discovered this sword.
He purchased il with view to return it to
its owner, if he could find him. On enquiry
he learned that the major was "alive and
we'll" and wrote him, expressing the strong
hope that he would take back his old sword
"as an evidence of good will entertained by
one who wore the gray towards one who
wore the blue" The major responded in
warm expressions of gratitude and good
will, aud closed as follows :--"With oil true
hearted people Of the north, hail with joy
every evidence of good will from those who
wore the gray. And allow me to say that
those who wore the blue buried all animos-
ity when they stacked their arms This
proud old commonwealth expressed her true
feeling as she welcomed the "sons Of the
South" to Boston and Bunker Hill. "In your
late hour of terrible affection, Boston
opened her heart and uttered her honest SEN
1
timent; and all the people cry amen. The
heart Of the north is warm towards the south
and with the masses there is bat one senti
ment-that of the kindest feeling"
The receipt Of this letter Mr. Moore
acknowledged in the following appropria te
style -
