RAG CARPETs.-Rag carpets, about
which there has been so much discussion
of late years. are not likely to fall into
disfavor with those who have ever made
or used them-for. if properly made and
arranged, they are very pretty as well
as serviceable and inexpensive And it
is not a Herculean task to make one,
either, as some would have US believe.
When | was young woman at home.
nv mother and | cut and sewed the rags
for thirty-fve yards Of carpeting in three
months. besides doing the homework for
the family of six persons. We colored
the warp ourselves. which lessened the
expense besides. it was durable, for
that which we bay (colored) is usually
rotted in the dye, more or less. Some
| of the rags we also colored The warp
cost $500 and the weaving IS 30 more.
making the carpet cost US but twenty
cents per yard-except perhaps fifty
cents for coloring matter-besidcs our
own work. and am sure we could not
have procured one half so pretty or SO
durable for twice that amount. One and
onc-fourth pounds of cotton, and one
and one half pounds Of WOODEN rags are
sufficient to the yard, unless it is more
than q yard wide. An excellent way is
to cut and sew the rags as fast as the
garments are worn out, keeping each
color separate Or If you intend TO make
your carpet '.hit or miss. cut and wind
them without sewing, and when you
have enough for the carpet. sew and ar
range them as you see fit.

the very few who have reached the adj

eral specimens of quartz. from land be-
longing to the james Gray estate, were
sent off and tested ; one of which was
reported very rich in gold. Whether
this gold bearing rock is dispersed
throughout this region in paying guam
titles, will be determined the coming
summer by company who will arrive
early in the season, with necessary
equipments for obtaining definite infor-
nation concerning it.

calf of native breed, which was dropped

STORY OF SOUTHERN EDIToR-DUEL-
IsT.-On Monday morning last. as we
rode TO our office, weak and disabled from
five week spell of sickness. and scarce
ly able to leave our room, we were at
tackled by Chancellor II. r. Ware, the re-
cent appointee of the spOon-thief's son.
in law, who was lying in wait for US at
the post-ofice. armed to the teeth. We
were entirely unarmed and very feeble,
and so informed him, when, after vari-
Gus threats and imprecations, he walked
away to be congratulated by his radical
friends. We went to our Office, procured
a shot gun. and wrote him note to the
effect that he had made cowardly and
unprovoked attack upon US. and that
within five minutes from the time the
note was delivered to him, we would be
on the street prepared for him. We
took our stand on the corner beneath our
Office. and be soon emerged from the
courthouse with rife, but, instead of
coming directly toward US. he crossed to
the Richardson corner, where the street
was crowded with people At this mo-
ment the mayor came down from his Of
fee, when some one informed him Of the
approaching hostllities, and he ran up
and arrested Ware, and sent a constable
after u.s. We were both fined pretty
heavily, and there the matter rests at
present.-Brandon, (lHiss) Republican.
