miraculous.
We are. now able to make brandy
from sawdust. 1t has long been
known that the mere sight of a wood
en- mop-handle is often sufficient to
give a man the "horrors; :" but we
think we foresee the time when even
the humblest householder will be en-
abled to see a whole menagerie OF
large snakes and small toads, after de-
vouring a small cottage chamber set,
and may treat himself to a first-class
dose of the jim-jams by simply chew
ing up the parlor furniture. Surely,
this is the age of luxuries.
One pound of green copperas, dis
solved in one quart of water and
poured down a water-closet, will eff.
fectually concentrate and destroy the
foulest smells. On board ships and
steamboats,. about hotels and Other
public places, there is nothing SO nice
to purify the air. Simple green cop
peras, dissolved in anything under
the bed, will render ahospital or 9th.
Ell place for sick free from unpleasant
smells. In fish markets, slaughter
houses, sinks, and whereSer there are
offensive gases, dissolve coPperas and
sprinkle it about, and ina few days
the smell will pass away. If a. cat
rat or mouse dies about the house and
sends forth all offensive gas, place
some dissolved copperas in an open
vessel near the place where the nui'
sance is and it will purify the atmos'
phere. We recommend it in several
| plapes around Eaton.

AMERICANS IN ExILE.--The carpet.
baggers' work in South Carolina was ter
ribie. 1t shows that this government may
be made as much to be dreaded as that of
Turkey or any other tyranny of the Old
World. In South Carolina Cham berlain
and his gang had only to get a bad and ig-
norant negro to go before the U. S. Court
and make oath in order to have the best
citizen arrested and tried for murder. We
have witnessed at.least one such negro be-
fore grand jury ini Delaware. whom the
District Attorney was forced to allow to
appear before the jury to avoid partisan
persecution, althoguh he had no faith in
the negro's testimony. Our people may
imagine what 1t is, or was, under Cham
berlain and others, TO live in South Caro-
lima, from the following we copy from the
correspondence of the NY. IIeiald of We'd
nesday. There should be no conpromis,
with crime:
Judge Mackey wishes it understood
that he does not appear. as has been repre-
Rented for the officials of the state of Soutl
Carolina, but on his own motion and in tn
interest of the persons who are indicte,
under the Enforcement act of Congress
known as the Ku-klux act, who mum be
over two thousand in the State of Soutl
Carolina. Sixty-five of these are now II

Judge Mackey's circuit and among them
DR.. Rufus Bratton the leading physical
of that section. Judge Mackey says tha
he simply proposes an exchange of prison
ers. The persons indicted for Ku- -kluxin
are satisfied that they cannot obtain fai
trial in the United states courts. as undt
the act of Congress prescribing the qualif
catlons of Jurors no person can sit upon
federal jury unless he takes the iron-cla
oath. The result is that the jurors in II

salutiDg them with the steam whistle, as
usual. After getting beyond the range
OF the last guns he quickly hauled down

GFrom the New York SUM-
A FUTURE DEFICIENCY FOR THE
ARMY,

ARMY.
When the Army bill passed the House
of Representatives with Limitation of
%, 900 men from the 1st of November a
total sum of S25, 5,763 900 was appropriated
for the fiscal year. The Senate increased
the force to $4,000 men, and reduced the
appropriation more than 800, 600. Not a
dollar was voted to pay the additional five
thousand men. though their recruitment
| was authorized.
| The House finally concurred in the
| amendment of the Senate for an army of
| 25 900, and when the question was raised
whether the additional force would not in
yolve q deficiency of three or five millions
of dollars, the chairman of the Commit
| tee on preparations could not answer
the inquiry definitely or give any positive
| satisfaction as to the cost of the unneces-
| sary Incl ease.
1t follows from this loose and indefensi-
bic mode of legislation that the War De-
| partment and the military chiefs at Wash
| inguon have entire control over the eX-
penditures of the army, and may make
the deficiency to suit their own views.
| There Is no restraint imposed on them at
| all, no check to protect the Treasury, and
no limit to their discretion,
The House has substantially parted with
its power without question or debate ol
| any sind, and has transferred it to the mil
Washington to force Hayes into the White
House, and which, without color of law
has assumed 10 maintain an army up tC
the maximum since the lst of July
When the faithless mem bers who betray
ed their constituents and the people al
large by these omissions and CONN
sions, seek re election next year, and are
arraigned, as they ought to be, for theil
treachery and extravaganza, they may try
to deceive the country by parading th,
specific appropriation In the Army bill al
an evidence of their economy.
The fact that a deficiency OF several mil
lions is inevitable, and that 1t is entirel,
in the hands OF the War Department an(
of General Sherman and his magnifieen
staff, who recently mfsrepresented tn
strength of the army before the Commit
tee on Appropriations, will be concealed a
far as possible from public view. Blu
this deception will not be allowed to SUE
ceed if full exposure and fearless criticism
of the responsible parties can prevent it,
