saleratus. Melt the butter, mix all soft to-
gether with spoon, and set away for one
half hour in the winter aid one whole hour
in summer, where it is coli. Then the
dough can be easily rolled without adding
very much flour (the less the better), sprip-
kle the dough after rolling with sugar, cut
and bake in quick oven, watching careful
ly. The ingredients mentioned in this
recipe make two dozen cookies. Add cara
way seed if liked.
Lemon Sauce.-One tablespoonful of corn
starch; one tablespoonful Of butter; two
eggs; two cupfuls of sugar; the grated
yellow rind Of two lemons, and the Juice;

To Wash Buckskin Gloves-Make a suds

glass in one pint of water until reduced to
one-half; when cool stir it into one quart Of
cream, four wineglasses of Madeira, one
half pound OF sugar. the juice of one lemon;
strain it and pour it into moulds. This will
make one large and two small-sized ones.
Ointment for Mapped Hands.-At this sea-
son OF the year, many persons are suffering
severely with chapped hands, and the fol-
lowing recipe will relieve them almost inn
medately, but it should be applied every
night, and after rubbing it into the hands,
ca
first cutting out the palms of the hands:
Take equal parts of mutton tallow and lard
without salt, an equal weight of orange car
rots. Melt the grease in small basin
placed in a larger one filled with boiling
water. Scrape the carrots and CRATE them
finely, and add to the grease. Put into it a
lump OF camphor rs large as an English
walnut, a bit of borax of the same size, and
bit of carbonate of ammonia half as large
(this is for q pound OF the grease) melt
them, and let the whole boil for an hour.
Strain through fine cloth, and let the oint-
hoent become partly cool then beat it as
you do the whites OF eggs, until it is frothed,
which will take halt an hour. Put into
pots, pour a little alcohol over each one.

so for chatings and burns, being very cool

homes with enough to live on for
twelve months, or they might find
a vacuum in their "bread baskets"

Nashville & Florence Railroad.

LAwKEN CEBUKG, March Ii, 1879.
On Tuesday last an engineer with
corps commenced tn" survey Of tn
proposed Nashville d. Florence rail
way. THIS road, running rom Co
lumbia, Tenn, To Florence, Ala,
was chartered some two weeks ago,
with catering prospects,. Eleven
miles OF the road > already graded,
being that part Of the old Tennes-
Zee ~ Alabama railroad running
from Columbia to Mt. Pleasant.
This has been lying idle since the
war. Chancellor Nixon was elected
President of the company. We are
looking forward with hope to the
time when we can see tie light of
the outside world. The county will
vote i'll May upon a pre- position to
subscribe $4,000 10 the enterprise.
~ Correspondence of American.
And the day the contemplated
road is built the seal of death will
be put upon Pulaski. Thank Heav-
en- the CITIZENS skirts are clear
There will he no blood upon our
hands. We have warned and re-
peatedly warned Pulaski that she
had better build the road to Law
renceburg. Our warning is not
needed. The people are with us,
too, unquestionably, but there seems
TO be no leader and no concert of
action. Only let some active man
take the matter in hand and we can
vet defeat the road above contem
plated, and turn it to Pulaski. Law
renceburg would prefer this, and
only asks our co operation.

Knoxville Tribune: One or two
bills imposing heavy penalties upon
those convicted of carrying con
cealed weapons have been intro
duced during the present session
of the Legislature, and we trust
that some law, making the punish
ment for that offense so heavy that
no man will dare violate it, will be
passed. The cold-blooded murder
of Col. Bob Aston, a prominent
and popular young Georgian, IN AT
lanta last week, has directed popu
lar attention TO this matter. The
murderer, was, it appears, under the
influence of whisky, he was known
TO be armed, and yet there seems 70
hsve been no law To warrant his ar
rest for the crime Of carrying such
arms. The result was that a bril-
liant and promising young man has
been snatched suddenly aud vio-
lently from friends and family, and
his murderer lies to-day in a pris
on, with the galloSs looming up ~
the near future, if he receives JUS
tice. Let us put a stop 20 this
criminal practice. The life of the
young Georgian was lost, as hun
dreds OF other lives just as valuable
have been lost here in the South,
because society indirectly sanctions
the custom of carrying concealed
weapons. Let our Legislature make
the man who carries arms a crimi-
nal and let public sentiment be 81
strongly in favor Of the execution
of the law that the foolish ahd
criminal practice win be no longer
tolerated.

Why Neglect It?

Mr.. McCoRD:- - In the name of
common decency and humanity,
why do our corporate authorities
persist in neglecting a thorough
cleaning of the town, especially the
back yards of our business houses?
Already the reeking effluvia offends
our nostrils, and with each breath
we carry into our lungs the exhala-
tions, full of disease and death, arts
ing from the sinks or rather mounds
of filth to be seen ali around the
business part of the town. What
good sense or economy is there in
waiting until our people are poi
soned with the noXious eXhalatlons
before the order is issued for d
thorough cleaning? Let it be done
now, and then again in June and
August, and we will escape the raw
ages of these low types of disease
originating in filth.
