PREACHING THE LAw.-The terror of the
law should be preached, not terribly, but ten
derly. In telling impenitent men of their
doom, do it with pity. As Jesus "wept over
the city" doomed to unparalleled woe, so lot
the minister weep over the unsaved and i'm
penitent in his congregations. Tears will
often win where terrors will not alarm. The
preacher should never be betrayed into a
ranting manner, or harsh tones of voice, or
extravaganza expressions, when on this topic.
And tbs needful to keep close to the writ
ten word in preaching upon the destiny of the
wicked. There are subjects which can safely
employ imagination and philosophical specu.

keep to the record. Every proposition should
be supported by "thus saith the Lord. y

Der that his complexion was dark, and bis

clustering in close ringlets all over his head.
He always dressed in exceedingly good taste,
and wore the best of broadcloth, so that he
presented an exceptionally fine appearance.

a reception was given at the White House to

Governor Floyd attended, as Secretary of
War, to receive the gentle savages and pre-
sent them to the President He was arrayed
in full evening costume, swallow.tail, choker
and white kids, in order that the occasion
might be as impressive as possible. The ab-
origines were gotten up in most extravagant
display of paint, feathers and gewgaws. After
the ceremony had been concluded, Governor
FLOYD, by way of advertisement, proudly
touched his own manly breast, and remarked
to one of the chiefs, in the usual vernacuar
"Me Indian-Virginia Indian blood-Po'

The chief gazed at him from head to foot,
looking very doubling, and then putting bis
hand on the Governors head and feeling his
curs, gravely answered:

WATCH YOUR SETTING HENs.-The fol-
lowing suggestion is worth trying: Should
occasion occur, We would be pleased to hear
from any who may try the experiment.
If the eggs are broken in the nests take the
hen carefully of, and wash the eggs in tepid
water; then take the straw out aud put in
fresh, and place the eggs under her again.
Should the hen leave the nest, from any
cause, and the eggs become cold, do not throw
them away, even if the hen has been off twen-
ty-four, or more hours. Get pan or pail OF
water heated to $50 degrees Fahrenheit, and
immerse the eggs in. it. Leave them in until
they are warmed through, perhaps half an
hour, adding more warm water if necessary,
then place them under fresh hen. In the
latter stages of incubation, after the eggs
have passed the fourteenth day, they have
been saved and Matched, after having been
deserted for over forty-eight hours.

HAMPTON ON HAYEs.-Here is the report
of an interview with Governor Hampton by
the Columbia correspondent of the New York
Herald:
Governor Hampton having government
and good deal of business to attend to, II
was some time before I could engage his at
tention, and even then, be reluctantly con.
sented to a very brief interview. He dis
played the courtesy of the gentleman, the
brusqueness of the soldier and the Ingenious
ness of novice in politics. This was the
conversation that took place:
"How will Mr.. Hayes election be regarded
by the South?"
"I think that. though disappointed in the
result, the Southern people will recognize him
promptly, will judge him fairly by his acts,
and will not embarrass bis administration by
factious opposition. If he deals justly with
us, will stand on the Constitution, and will
accord US all our rights, he will be honestly
sustained, and will not be embarrassed either
by hostility on the one hand or by office seek
ing on the other.'
"Do you expect recognition from him OF
your government?"
II certainly do. for I claim that mine is
the only lawfully authorized government in
this Stste-the only one that can enforce the
law and give protection. As Mr.. Hayes is
pledged to obey the Constitution of the coun-
try, 1 confidently hope that he will not allow
its most sacred provisions to be violated in
this State.

on an equality with the other States, requiring
from us full obedience to the laws, and Civ
ing to US the right possessed by all other States,

PROF BELLS TELEPHONE.

THE HUMAN VOICE CARRIED A HUNDRED AMI
FORTY MILES.
Prof. A. Graham Bell, the inventor of the
telephone, comes from the staid old city o.
the witches Salem. He is professor of "vo
cal physiology" in the Boston University
About five years ago he first began to think
about the possibility of the transmission o1
sound by telegraph, and the idea took posses
sion of him completely. His invention had
so far taken form eighteen months ago, that
with the assistance of a practical electrician
Mr.. Thomas A. Watson, he began to expert
ment, using for the purpose a wire between
Boston and Cambridg dge, about two'miles long
The success of the invention was to him from
the first only question of time. He had
"got it down fine" as the boys say, and the
successive experiments were only 80 many
steps rendering the instrument practical tor
general use.
The first time the practical success of the
telephone was demonstrated to the satlstac'
ton of others, was on October 9, 1876, when
an experiment was made over the private
wire Of the Walworth Manufacturing Compa'
ny of Cambridge. The telephone then spoke
for itself, and the conversation of the operator
in Cambridge could be distinctly heard at the
Boston end of the line. An interesting dia'
logue took place, the speakers talking in their
ordinary key. The experiments were eontln'
ued almost constantly. Prof. Bell and Mr.
Watson conducted their operations in the ttth
story of a>lodging house in Exeter place, in
this city, and were exceedingly careful whom
they admitted to their rooms found my
way up there to-day, and had an interesting
chat with Mr.. Watson, who seems to be a
bright young man, and is very enthusiastic
concerning hetelephone. He said that Prof.
Bell was the sole inventor of the instrument
and no other human being had ever tackled
the idea. The first patent was taken out
about year ago, and several had been o.
tanned subsequently,. Mr.. Watson gave an IN
teresting account of the recent experiments
with the machine, most of which have been
over the Eastern Railroad Company's wire
between Salem and Boston. The time select
ed for these experiments is generally the Sab
bath day, because there is then less probablll-
ty of the wire being in use.
iOne of the experiments, which occurred on
January 81, was eminently gratifying in its
results. Not only every word spoken in Bos,

A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT T.-"Life bears us
on like the stream of mighty river. Our
boat glides down through the narrow chan
nel-through the playing murmuring of the
little brook, and the winding of its grassy
borders. The trees shed their blossoms over
our young heads, the flowers on the brink
seem to offer themselves to our young hands ;
we are happy in hope and grasp eagerly at
the beauties around us-but the stream hur-
ries on, and still our hands are empty. Our
course in youth and manhood is also wilder
flood, amid objects more striking and magni6-
cent. We are animated at the moving pic
lures of enjoyment and industry passing us
we are excited at home, short-lived disap.
pointment. The stream bears US on, and our
iovs and griefs are alike left behind u.s. We
may be shipwrecked, we cannot be delayed ;
whether rough or smooth, the river hastens to
its home till the roar Of the ocean is in our
ears, and the tossing of the waves is beneath
our feet and the land lessons from our eyes,
and the floods are lifted around US, and we
take our leave of earth and its inhabitants
until of our further voyage there is no witness,
save the Infinite and Eternal" ."-Heber.

. House OR FENCE WHITEwAsH.--The
United Treasury Department has sent out a
receipt for whitewashing which is said to an.
swer on wood or brick almost as we'll as oil
paint, and to be much cheaper: Slake half a
bushel of unslacked lime with boiling water,
keeping it covered during the process. Strain
it, and add peck of salt, dissolved in warm
water; three pounds of ground rice, put in
boiling water aat boiled to a thin paste; one
half pound powdered Spanish whiting and a
pound of CLEAR glue dissolved in warm water ;
mix these we'll together, and let the mixture
stand for several days. Keep the wash thus
prepared in kettle or portable furnace, and
when used put it on as hot as possible with
either painters or whitewash brushes.
