The murders perpetrated upon the
Chinese at Chico, California, and the long
list Of assassinatiOns by the Molly Maguires
in Pennsylvania, extending through more
than a decade Of years, although Of most
heinous character, have excited no especial
interest in the newspaper world, beyond
the mere announcement of them. They
have not been held up as evidences Of
sectional generalization, or of the peculiar
un6tness of the inhabitants Of those States
for self government, nor have they led to
suggestions that those States ought to be put
under military instead Of civil govern
ment Even the Mountain Meadow mas
sacre in Utah was not deemed of sufficient
magnitude TO require the interposition OF
the military power of the government,
But the death of Judge Chisolm and his
daughter, the latter accidental, in KempeI
county, Mississippi, at the hands of the
friends Of the murdered Gully, is seized
upon by designing and mendacious par
tisan press as an act of political signifi,
canoe, with the purpose of firing the
northern heart against the south, and Of
turning this painful affair to party account
The incendiary and the midnight assassin
with fagot and dagger, are not more tC
be condemne and despised than the in.
cendiary newspaper press, which, moved by
so base a motive, will dstort facts and cir
cumstauces with more than demoniac hate
in order to work up i'll feeling and turn il
to party advantage. This fell purpose has
impelled a portion of the Radical press in
its course ever since the Kemper county
murder, under the hypOcritical pretense Of
serving the cause of humanity and of pub
lie peace and security Such press should
be regarded as public enemy.

The muffled drums sad rnll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo!
No more on llfe's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few;
ON Fumes eternal camping-ground
Their silent tents arr spread.
Aud memory guards, with solemn round
The bivouae OF the dead
No rumor Of the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind
No troubled thought at midnight hauuts
Ofloyed ones left behind
No vision of tO;morrow's strife
The warriors dread alarms;
No hraying horn or screaming fife
At dawn shall call IN arms
Rest on, embAlmcd and sainted dead
Dear us the blood ye gave.
No lmpiOus footsteps here shall tread
The heritage Of your grave;
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While fame her record keeps,
Or honor points the hallowed spot
Where valor proudly sleeps.

HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
Things 70 Remember.


Remember that one can have the
hands in soap-suds with soft soap with
out injury to the skin il the hands are
dipped in vinegar or lemon juice imme-
diately after. The acid destroys the
corrosive effects Of the alkali and makes
the hands soft and white. Indian meal
and vinegar or lemon juice used on the
hands when roughened by cold or labor,
will heal and soften them. Rub the
hands in this, then wash Off thoroughly
and rub in glycerine. Those who suffer
from chapped hands in the winter will
find this comforting.
Remember never to leave clothes
lines out week after week, but take
them down and wind them on the reel,
as soon as the clothes are dry. With
this care, a cl0thes-line will last years,
But if left out, wind and rain will mil
dew and rot the line, and it will soon
become worthless. Added to this, the
clothes will be colored from the line,
and dirty streaks almost impossible to
remove Will be seen where they rested
on it.
Remember that a tablespoonful of
black pepper will prevent grey or buff
linens from spotting, if stirred into the
first water in which they are washed.
1t will also prevent the colors running,
when washing black or colored cambrics-
or muslins, and the water is not in
jured by it, but is just as soft as before
the pepper was put in.
Remember that the wings of the tur-
keys, geese, and chickens should never
be thrown away. Many people, especially
in the country, keep them simply to
brush off the stove or range, but there is
nothing better to wash and clean win
dows. Chamois or buckskin is very
good, but wings are better, and cost
nothing, and their use is an economy
utilizing that which would otherwise be
thrown away. They are excellent to
clean the hearth or stove, to dust
furniture, but best of all to wash win
dows, because the corners can be easily
and perfectly cleaned by them, leaving
no lint behind, as when cloths are used.
Use these wings also to spread on paste
when papering walls. There is nothing
that does that kind of work better.

Two Important items.

Fifty two years ago, Mr.. George Cole,
ST., one of the respected fathers of our
country, planted on his farm in Wood
cock township, a number of peach trees.
Several of them are still alive and thrift
ty, having borne fruit every season ex-
cept when frost interfered and killed the
germs. Mr.. Cole had heard that tansy,
planted about the roots of the trees
would prevent the depredations of the
borer. He planted the tansy with the
tree, and where, as in fence rows, it had
not been interfered with by the plow or
any other cultivation, the tansy as we'll
as the peach trees have maintained
themselves against both weeds and
worms for fifty-two years. AS tansy
perpetuftes itself, the experiment is
cheap, and Mr.. Cc'"'s experience may
be valuably suggestive to fruit growers.
A tree, cherry or peach they are cousins
germane), pierced in hundred places,
and gum (its life blood) exuding from
every puncture, can neither perfectly
fructify, nor acquire or retain the
stamina necessary to Withstand our cold
winters. We commend Mr.. Coles ex-
perience to the thoughtful consideration
of fruit growers.
Our second item is about cabbage.
For three years the cabbage worm has
made sieves not Of cabbage only, but
caulifiower, ,rutabagas and even common
turnips, have furnished nests matching
places, and larvae food for the lemon
colored moth that fits about our fields
and gardens all summer. Mr.. Ralph
Luton, carpet weaver, Randolph street,
few doors above Liberty, has as good
cabbage in his garden as was ever grown
in that city. There is not the sign of a
worm upon his cabbages, while those of
all his neighbors are riddled. The effec-
tual preventive was few tobacco plants.
Mr.. Luton has secured his cabbages.
cured his tobacco, and during the winter
can enjoy his pipe and the excellent
esculent his pipeful of tobacco saved
from the destruction -CrQuyord Jour-

The First Marriage.

\ We like short courtships, and in
this Adam acted like a sensible man.
He fell asleep a bachelor and awoke
to find himself a married man. He
appeared to have popped the ques-
tion almost Immediately after to
Mile Eve, and she without any fir
tation or shyness, gave him a kiss
and herself. OF this first event in
this world we have however, our
thoughts; sometimes in poetical mood
have wished that we were the man
that did it. But the deed is done,
The chance was Adams and he i'm
proved it. We like the notion Of
getting married in a garden. 1t is a
good taste. We like a private we'd
ding Adams was private, no envi-
Gus beaux were there; no croaking
old maids; no chattering aunts and
grumbling grandmothers. The birds
Of heaven were the ministries, and
the glad sky flung its light upon the
scene. One thing about the wedding
brings queer thoughts to us, spite Of
scriptural truth. Adam and his
wife were very young to be married
two or three days old, according to
the sagest specuIations Of theologians
mere babes-larger, but no older,
without n house, without Il pot or
kettle-uothing but love and Eden.

Disappeared.

When a friend dies and is buried,
there's an end Of him. We miss him
for n space out of our daily existence;
we cling to the blessed hope that we
shall be reunited in some more per-
feet sphere; but, so far as this earth
is concerned, there's nm end Of him.
However near and dear he was, the
time arrives when he does not form
u part of our daily thought; he ceases
to be even an abstraction. Wego no
more with flowers aud tears into the
quiet cemetery; only the rainand the
snow flakes fall there; we leave 1t for
tho fingers of Spring TO deck the nc.
elected mound. Butwhen our friend
vanishcs unaccountably in the midst
of n crowded city, or goes of on a sea
voyage, and is never heard Of again,
his memory has u singular tenacity.
Io may be to all intonts and purpos'
cs dead to us, but We have not lost
