ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 81, 1875


:. Tomorrow will be the anniversary OF day
made memorable as long as letters last by the
birth OF man whose influence in the success
full inauguration of a constitutional Democratic
Government will be felt throughout all sue
ceediug ages, and the intrinsic excellence OF
whose character was SO embellished by true
modesty, that its lustrc will illumine the pages
of history as long as heroic deeds shall be hon
ored and recorded; but, though remembered,
his ilIustrious example has, 10 these unhappy
days Of the republic, ceased TO il fuence his sue
.cessor, the chief business Of whose Office seems
to have degenerated into futile efforts TO secure
"a third term, and. unsuccessful eodeaVors 10
conceal the corruption which exists 10 all
branches of the Government, and which, 10 al
most every Instance when traced, lead to the
White House. But if the example of the
Father of bis country be no longer followed by
those who succeed him 10 office, the decendants
of his Immediate neighbors still continue to cele-
brate his natal day. For nearly century,
except under unusual circumstances, the people
O. Alexandria have Dever failed to observe With
more or less distinction the birthday of the
iIlustrious friend Of the town, whom tue world
now delights to honor, and there could be
no more fttipg time for a celebration OF that
day, with especial tokens Of JOY and festivty,
than the Centennial year. Not alone, our
own citizens, but large number of our
couutrymen from abroad, will assemble With
US to dc honor to the immortal Washington.

Sundry Matters.-A safe lantern
should be procured for the stable and
barn. If kerosene oil is used,- only
those kind that are known to be safe
should be purchased. The small extra
cost is nothing as compared with
safety from accident. No farmer can
afford to go uninsured. Choose well
known, safe company in which to
insure. Painting can be done better
and cheaper now than at any other
time; there:.are no dust nor flies to spoil
the paint. Leaves should be gathered
for bedding there is nothing safer in
the brood sow's pen. Stones and
stumps may be cleared off, cellars
banked up, cleaned, and whitewashed,
and every tool and implement cleaned

Merchants Gargling Oil has won for
itself a worldwide reputation as a
lioiment useful in rheumatism,
eprains, bruises, burns, scalds, &C.
This preparation was first manufac.
tured in 1888, and since then has
steadily grown into the favor and
confidence of the people. The long
term of years during which it has con.
stant]y been brought to the notice Of
the public, together with its immense
sale, give evidence of an inherent value
which connot bedoubted. An objection
to it's use-that Of staining the skin,
has been entirely removed, 80 that it
now leaves no stain whatever. AL.
though called "Family Oil,'' and
prepared Intentionally for human flesh,
it answers as well for beasts and will
be found one of the best remedies for
all purposes, where a liuiment is
required, that has ever been manufac.

Fortune Favors the Brave.

In days gone by, when civilization
had just begun to dawn upon the human
race, chance reigned predominant in the af-
fairs of men. The Goddess of Fortune smiled
on those as Chance prescribed. Armies fell,
aud were shorn OF glory in one day, while
wealth and opulence crowned the victors
Men rose from the very haunts of poverty,
and by lucky stroke Of the sword gained
honor and riches. But time has wrought a
material change He no more struggles in
blood tor wealth, when more pacific oppor-
tunity affords itself. For instance, el2, Is or
s. gives an equal chance for the good, round
gifts of $l00, 600, &50, 900, $4,000, ETC., to
those who may teel inclined to invest in a

Chickens Fit to Eat.

Don't imagine that it makes no diff
ference how your Thanksgiving chick
ems have been brought up. Don't sup
pose that they will be good anyhow.
Chickens have been carefully dressed,
deliciously stuffed, assidiously basted,
and tenderly roasted, and yet they
were not fit to eat. There was favor
about them that no soda rinsings could
cleanse and no seasonings conceal.
These were chickens that had picked
up their living around pig-sties and
other uncleaI places.
A chicken may be spoiled in dress.
ing it to cook. If killed with full
crop, and allowed to lie for hours be.
fore it is ''drawn," or relieved of it's
internal organs). it gets an unpleasant
flavor. Fowls should be caught and
shut up without food for twelve hours
or more before they are beheaded.
Then the crop and intestines will be
empty, and the task of picking and
dressing it will be greatly lessened.
Old fowls are not necessarily tough
only cook them long enough. They are
more tender twenty-four hours after
they are killed, than if eaten imme.

Hints for Farmers.

/. Horses.-Pasture has lost it's value
now, and the nights are too cold for
horses to be kept out Of the stable.
Colts should have pint of oats daily.
and be halter broken. Their education
should be begun now, and the lirst
thing to be done is to accustom them
to handling, brushing, and restraint.
Patience and kindness with q colt
will go far to form a good disposition
in the future horse.
Rubbish.-Mriads of insects and
spores of mold and Injurious fungi
|gather in the rubbish Of the farm.
Burn every thing Of this kind. Potato
tops harbor the spores of the potato
disease straw, corn-fodder and stubs,
|harbor chinch bugs: chips. bark,

So alender in the West,

And Wild wish stirred my breast.
Over my white right shoulder
i looked at the silver horn,
And wished = wish 1t even,
To come to pass in the morn.
Whenever the new moon glittered
So slender and 10 fine,
looked across my shoulder,
Aud wished that wish Of mine.
Now, when the West Is rosy,
And the snow.Wreaths blush below,
And see the light white crescent =:
Sink downward soft and slow;
never look over my shoulder,
Az used to look before;
For my heart is older and colder,
And now I wish no more!

land, and they had not the most dis
tant idea Of their surroundings. The
lights they imagined to be upon two
islands-at least, they took my word
for it, and had no suspicion Of our real
whereabouts, -, y. ~.
On and ON flew the Isabel; and it
ever, at one time more than another, I
have tried to exert my nautical judg-
ment and forethought. 1t was then.
We saw other lights but the pirates
supposed them to be upon the ocean
coast, along which they believed them
selves sailing. At length, Irequested
them to take in the light sails and the
courses. This completed. I called out
and it was with. q dreadful thrilsat
my heart, l assure yOu, u,-''Iet 20 the
top.sail halyards, and clew up -
It was done and I could see that a
darkbank was raising under the leebow.
''Stand by to let go anchor"
shouted, "while I bring her up in the
wind -
Iclapped the helm hard down, while
the four pirates ran to obey my last di.
rection. Oh. heaven how my blood
seemed to suffocate me They were all
away forward. It must be now, if
ever. A hundred times that day had
glanced at the yawl, and the tackles
that held it: and now, quickly, but
with q steady hand, I sprang to the
davits-falls. First the larboard, then
the starboard, seized !; but was care.
full to lower away with both simultan.
eously, that the boat might not be
swamped Then, c'apping my hands
against the brig, pushed with a force
that sent the yawl shooting from under
the counter. At this moment, heard
the anchor go overheard. I had just
time to grasp an oar, and commence
scu1ling with all my might when the
pirates ran aft. Bacalardo's tones
rang fierce and loud. His horrid Span.
ish oaths might at another time have
curdled my blood but now I had him
upon the hip,
"Ahoy the fort!' shouted ''ahoy
there the fort!'' For well knew the
dark bank so close at hand.
The voice that answered was the
most blessed sound I ever heard. It
was from one of the United States
sentinels, and was gliding under the
walls at old Point Comfort! Escape
for the pirates was impossible, for the
strong easterly wind must preclude
all hope Of getting to sea, while the
fort could have disabled the brig in an
instant. A boat with armed soldiers
now boarded her. Three of the pi-
rates were taken into custody, but
Bacalardo was found dead in the cabin.
Dismay, disappointment and the Ger.
tainty Of his doom, had impelled him
to draw his Spanish knife across his
throat. The others when brought to
trial had the effrontery to profess
themselves innocent. Bacalardo had
duped them-Bacalardo had done all
they had injured no one; but the
United States Court thought different
ly, and they were hung at Norfolk.
