Oh, Yes, That " Punger Gourd."

In a letter to the Washington Ameri-
can, senator George W. Martin, OF Ten
nessee, attempts TO explain the mystery
ain the outset, TO prevent mistakes,
| will state that do not now exactly
remember the source from which re.
ceived the knowledge ] am about to i'm.
part, but ! am OF opinion that it was
handed down by tradition. The 'punger
gourd belongs TO the great gourd family
and is of the genus Legenaria. Soon
after tobacco and cotton were first cult
vated in this country by the labor Of the
African race, it was found that the sup
ply of suitable vessels among the settler
TO carry water to the field was entirely
inadequate. Just at this time the larg'
flat-bottomed gourd was used tor tha
purpose, and to distinguish it from any
other gourd the negroes called it thu
'punger gourd.' And now you have al
/ know Of the 'punger gourd,' and vii
see at once that the exemption was in
tended to protect the origipators Of th'
word. With this explanation hop'
the country will be satisfied, and ii yot

In Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Min

eggs has been retarded by the cold rains
and heavy frosts of the past two or three

upon the locusts in some localities, encour>
ages the farmers to hope for at least a par.
tial exemption from the plague. All ac-

1t is we'll known fact that the great mGss
of our people are compelled to rely for their
knowledge Of the history of their country, up-
on the outline works intended for the use of

and IN every way unsuited to the adult mind.
There has long been felt n genuine want of

succinct and comprehensive form the Historv
OF our country through its various periods

THE SUM-.
NEW YORK.

The different editions of THE SUN during
the next year will be the same as during the
year that has passed. The daily edition will
on week days be a sheet of four pages, and on
Sundays sheet OF eight pages, or sc broad
columns; while the weekly edition will be o
sheet of eight pages of the same dimensions
and character that are already familiar to our
friends.
| The Sun will continue to be the strenuous
advocate of reform and rctreuchment, and of
| the substitution Of craftsmanship, wisdom
and integrity for hollow pretence, imbecility,
and fraud in the administration of public af-
fairs. 1t will contend for the government of
the people by the people and for the people,
as opposed to government by frauds in the
ballot box and in the counting Of votes, en-
| forced by military violence. 1t will endeavor
to supply its readers-a body now not far
from million Of sous-with the most care
full, complete, and Trustworthy accounts Of cur
rent events, and will employ for this purpose
n numerous and carefully selected staff of re.
porters and correspondents. tsreports from
Washington, especially, will be full, accurate,
and fearless; and it will doubtless continue to
deserve and enjoy the hatred of those who
thrive by plundering the Treasury or by
usurping what the law does not give them,
while it Will endeavor to merit the confd ence
Of the public by defending the rights of the
people against the encroachments of uniusti-
fed power.
The price of the daily Sun will be 55 cents
month or Sc so year, post paid, or with
the Sunday edition 81 70 year.
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages,
81 70 year, post paid.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages of sc broad
columns will be furnished during 1877 at the
rate Of 81 year, post paid.
The benefit of this large reduction from the
previous rate for The Weekly can be enjoyed
by individual subscribers without the ncces
sity Of making up clubs. At the same time,
if any of our friends choose to aid in extend
ing our circulation, we shall be grateful to
them, and every such person who sends us ten
or moro subscribers from one place will be
entitled to one copy Of the paper for himself
without charge. AT one dollar a year, post
age paid, the expenses of paper and printing
are barely repaid; and, considering the size
OF the sheet and the quality of its contents,
VIC are confident the people will consider The
Weekly Sun the cheapest newspaper publish>
ed in the world, and we trust also one of the
very best. Address,

YEAST givo receipt from a
Minnesota housekocper, which she
says makes the best yeast known to
civilized women. She has kept it
three months in the hottest weather
and much longer in cool weather, and
ncvcr had any sour. The -four should
be thoroughly dried by tho fro before
being made into sponge, an important
item of which many young houso>
keepers arc ignorant. Tho sponge
should be sot at noon, mixed 1T night,
and nodded next morning. Stirring
the sponge after it begins to ferment
makes tho broad white. Now for the
receipe:
Ono quart of hops put lightly in
the cup, one quart Of potatoes pared
and sliced, one pint of corn Drowned
like coffee; put the hops in q small
bag, add three quarts of boiling water,
boil two hours. Strain through q
colander, add one cup of white sugar,
half cup Of salt, and water to make
hve quarts Of the mixture. When
lukewarm add one pint Of the same
kind of yeast to fermcnt it. If that is
not at hand use potato yeast without
meal or flour, as that might sour after
while. Half q cup is enough for a
baking, large or small. Tho Yeast
must DO made in tin Or porcelain. Let
it stand six hours in warm room
then bottle or can tightly and keo,
in a cool cellar. Half the ingredient
will do for q small family.
