bulatins over ts whole country with apparently the
gratulatoIs Of the toady element The people get
ting little tired Of this swinging around and Of the
daily reports Of the same speeches made over and over

A WORD TO THE PRESIDENT
Rnthy, dear Ruthy. home from the South;
This gushing eifuson strikes one
As running entirely too much tho mouth,
In Evarts and Hank wztterson.
Come home. Oh come home, for you're safer with u.s.
Down there IL yol're ever good, s '
You're likely to get in n terrible muss.
And sure to be misunderstood.
Come home! come home Rutby! dear Ruthy.
Come home.
Ruthy dear Ruthy come home from your spree;
This hugging is perilous sport
As you II presently see. though the kisses may be
OF the most paroxysmalest sort
Though Porter may string out his CAB by the mile
And Schurz his mellifuous talk .--...
Though Hampton may smile without guile all the while
Still-tis not exactly the chalk
Come home come home, Ruthy dear Ruthy.
Come homei
Ruthy dear Ruthy, what does it all meant
Is the steerer Of banco aboard
Does he iatter the friend" whom he has seen,
With barney that leads to the fraudi
Now, who is the dupe Of this plundering hoax,
We wouldn't like TO say, If We knew;
But right smart chance of respectable folks
Think, Ruthy dear Ruthy, it's you'll
Come home, come home Ruthy dear Ruthy 90
IBID. Come home!
Cui bono Though Key in his ecstacy quote
The speech he made at the Hubl ta
Though Hampton should weep till his chair Is anoat.
And Van Zandt should I'll up tub!
Perhaps it is true. As they say. that you make %
But some Of those fellows that float in your wake,
Are maud ae-io-u -in.

Remedy for Hog Cholera,

Prosaic as it may seem, there is hardly q
scourge to which farmers are subject which does
more damage than the nalady which is known
rs hog cholera. The Galesburg Register has re-
ceived from North Carolina the inclosed letter,
giving q remedy for the disease. Considering
that dog fennel grows in this country by the
thousands of tons, the remedy can be easily tried
SwANNANoA P. o., August 6, 1876.
Having seen in Western paper q cure fer
hog cholera, told several neighbors. One tried
it on hog that could not walk and would not
eat. We have since had occasion 10 try it on
our hogs DOG fennep is the remedy. Boil
the weed, take the tea and pour it into the swill
tub, and give twice q week, to prevent, and
drrnch with the tea if too far gone to eat. This
will certainly cure it, The hog above mention
ed was walking around and eating on the second
day after being drenched. 1 am, respectfully,

WATERMELON RIND RREsERvEs-Pare off the
outside green rind, and lay it in cold water for
four hours; then change the water, and put il
on TO boil There should be enough of this fresh
water to cover the fruit we'll. As soon as it has
in ginger tea where it mnst remain all night.
The next morning put it in fresh ginger tea, and
let it boil until you can run a straw through the
pieces. Take the rind out of the tea, and cut il
into small pieces an inch or two in length. Add
the juice and rnd of four lemons, and some slic-
cd white race ginger for one large melon. Put
one pound of sugar to one pound of fruit, and
boil them together for one hour. The lemon
peel should be cut thin, and boiled with the
rind in ginger tea. Carefully remove the seeds
from the slices of lemon, lest bitter taste be
impaired to the preserves.
The following, sent to us by correspondent
are little late, but we give them, nevcrthe-
less:
SPICED GRAPEs.-Slip grapes out of skins,
stew the pulp enough to loosen the seeds, sift
out the seeds, and put pulp with skins. To ev-
cry six pounds of grapes add three pounds of su-
gar, one and one-half pints of vinegar, one ounce
cinnamon, one.half ounce mace, one-half ounce
cloves. Stew together One-half hour.
CANNED GRAPEs.-Slip grapes out of skin,
stew pulp to loosen the seeds, sft out the seeds,
and put pulp with the skins, and add sugar to
suit the taste. Boil one fourth hour, and seal up
hot. One trial of canned grapes this way v i'll
prove that no collection of canned fruit is COM
pete without them. The work of removing
seeds is well paid for in the superior quality Of
the fruit when canned. is

The Same Place.

A maiden lady of uncertain years, who resides
in a certain New York town, and whose chief
glory is in her superior, (as she thinks), mental
quaintance, physician from neghboring town,
and having heard that he had changed his place
of residence, she asked him where he was then
living. He answered that he had settled at
Dunkirk.
"Dnnkirk !" she replied; sis that Via Dun
kirki"
"Via Dunkrk ~ the doctor responded; swell,
nos don't remember of ever hearing it called
anything but Dunkirk."

CARE OF BEDDING.-Beds and bedding need
especial care; on fine days leave your sleeping
and, if not too conspicuous, leave your beds un-
made, and let pillows and mattresses air in the
sun. Thoroughly examine the bedsteads-take
out the Stats, which you will probably find COW
cred with accumulated dnst will also be
found upon the Stats of the spring beds). Wipe
in a very little water, should be put on with
small paint brush in all the corners and crevices
of the bedsteads, to prevent vermin from finding
place. IT, by any chance, they are already
there, this must be repeated often as twice a
week, until they are exterminated. Also, wipe
the edges of the mattresses we'll with cloth
wrung ont of salt and water. You must meet
this matter promptly, and give it your personal
supervision, for, it not attended to at once, they
will get the better Of you, and cause you great
annoyance.

Canada This Ties.

A correspondent writes: "Judge Buell. used
to tell us to cut Canada thistles in the blossom
that they, were most exhausted at that time.
Some years, more of the stalks are hollow than
other years, and it increases as they grow larg-
er. II. before the seed can grow, we cut them,
and rain gets in the hollow stalks soon after,
many of them will die.

Of them below the crop root, which was often
dewn twelve inches, and he killed nearly all of
them at one operation. We concluded that to
dig them below the crop root (Which is much
like strawberry runner, going q distance and
starting another thistle) was sure death to them
Neighbor Matteson ploughed a thistle lot beam
deep, and narrowed it to comb out the thistles,
and then heaped them, and killed nine tenth Of

To Cook BEEFsTEAK.-Cut in thick slices and
pound almost to fragments; put a small piece Of
butter into frying pan, and carefully lay the
meat, peppered and sailed, into it as it browns,
add water every few minutes-a few teaspoon
fuls at time; turn often, but do not put cover
on it, and do not let it scorch when done dredge
with flour; turn it over and add little sweet
cream thin with water until the gravy is of tn
proper consistency; strew over with parsley, and
send to table very hot Generally speaking, our
meat is the poorest cooked dish that is served at
our tables; SO much watchfnl care and attention
are required to prepare it properly.
