Professor Goldwin Smith, in letter to friend in England on the Canada tariff, says that the real object of the tariff is to pay for vast public works. He urges Canadian annex ation with the Uninted Srates and says:
 'H Canada had been in the Union she would have turned the scale so completely in favor of freedom against slavery that there would most likely have been no civil war; If she were in the Union new she would in the same way render hopeless the attempt of the South te regain its ascendancy in conjunction with the Democrats, which is apparently going te breed fresh troubles on this continent. Leave the New World to it's own destinies, and you will have first its assured friendship and then it's trade. You have sent us, and are daily sending us, many good things of other kinds but your political interference has been and is mischievous, alike to yourselves and to the communities of the New World.

DIsCOvERY.-We wee shown this morn
ing at The Office of Capt. T. Post the new
disiniectanf, the discovery Of DR.. NJ. Buie,
and were shown some - its workings upon
various articles. The substance is a wine
co'ored liquid, and is represented as being
perfectly harmless and free from ang dele
tie. ious compound. 1t claimed that it is a
mos pc, feet d;sinfectant, ard we saw sew
eral 2 ricles consisting Of flesh and fish
which were tiea,ed by it while in a far adj
vanced state o. decom position, from which
there was not a particle Of unpleasant nor
unwholesome odor. The inventor claims
that it will also entirely emove all bugs,
insects and vermin f. om epy rooms in which
it may be used, and as it is almost entirely
oderless itself. we should think it would
prove of incalculaole woith to the commu-
nitv. Samples of the discovery have beer
sent to the most promine". scientific men
throughout the county, SO that there is a
reasonable prospect that it's claims for Ell
cacv will be abundantly tested. We are
informed that the Health Officers Of this
city and county have used this disinfec ant
with entire satisfaction. It's use VIII deode-
rize and render pure the atmosphere of the
offensive sick room in 4 very few moments.

Remember to shake off and remove all
dust from a black garment every lime it is
worn. Nothing sooner defaces a black
silk, poplin or wooden, than to wear it shop
ping, riding, CT even for the day in the
house, and then hang it up without remov-
ing the dust. TIE gritty NOTES with which
the air is filed, especially in regions where
coal is constantly used grind and wear out
any fabric. First shake both the dress and
owe rsl 1T faithfully; a back window is good
place to shake them from; then take a soft
old handkerchief and bush the dress with
that instead OF a clothes brush. See that
all the dust that settles in folds and pleats
is removed. Stand by an open window and

One Of Col. Folks correspondents, al

articles to the museum; writes the following
letter, which we print as a matter of courte-
sv to the writer, though it may be propert to
state that his surmises as to 'E. j. H. are
incorrect. The author of the communioa-
ton signed "E. J. IT," is we'll known IS a
farmer from boy hood, and was chosen by
the farmers of Johnston to represent them
- a recent Legislature

compliments you for showing the utter

ment, and Calming for himself success as

If you have ever shown up the utter
worthlessness of the Agricultural Depart

corning the Department of Agricultural
or It's management that [ would SUPPOSE

'telligent farmers in this county are not of
the same opinion of your johnson one.
if "E. J. H." be what he says ne is, in
stead of ~denouncing the Department of
Agriculture, (sne only thing the Legislature
crer created expressly FOR the benefit of the
farming interest of the State, stop his
fault finding, lend a helping hand to build
ltup and make it what its creators intende /,
and what it surely should be, a grand help

consumers of commei ciai fertilizers, or in
