To Freshen Paint.

Tea leaves may be saved from
the table for a few days, and,
when sufficient are collected,
steep and boil them for half
an hour in a tin pan; strain the
water off through a sieve, and
use this tea 10 wash all varnish
and paint, 1t removes spots,
and gives a fresher, newer APP
pearance than when soap and
water are used. For white paint,
take up a small quantity of
whiting on a damp piece of old
white flannel, and rub over the
surface lightly, and it will leave
the paint remarkably bright and
new.

Putting the Eyes to Use.

An amusing story was popu-
lar years ago, called eyes and
no Eyes" 1t told a number of
curious incidents where two per-
sons saw precisely the same
things. On the one no impress
sion was made, and what was
seen was soon forgotten. The
other noticed carefully, was led
to think and to act, and won Ell
Their fame or fortune. Mr.Rus-
kin says genius is only supe-
rior power of seeing. Great dis
coverers see a little farther than
other people.
Columbus, when his men were
in mutiny to return to Spain,
saw weeds and plants drifting
by his ships, and knew that land
was near. Watt saw the steam
lifting the lid of his mothers
tea-kettle. But he saw beyond
that fireplace the steam-engine
propelling ships and drawing
cars.
Newton saw an apple fall in
an orchard. But looking beyond
the orchard, he saw the wonder
full law of gravitation, by which
the sun and the earth and other
planets are kept i'll their appoint
ed places. Galvani saw a frogs
leg twitch when two metals
touched it, and he saw, at the
same time, the possibilities of
the galvanic battery.
Sir Samuel Brown saw a spi-
der's web floating across his
path one summers morn, and
he saw also the possibility of a
suspension bridge spanning. a
river. 1t is we'll to train the
eyes to see all that may be seen.

Large Crops of Corn Fodder.
Rural New ymIr.l

Rural New York.
Several correspondents in a
late issue of the Country Gen
tleman seem TO have given from
actual weight on small patches
of their fields. pretty reliable es-
Inmates of the amounts which
were grown Fer acre, previous
10 the curing of the corn. They
state these weights at %, 81, SO,
and 40 tons, respectively, per
acre. The latter was sowed in
drills three feet apart, using three
bushels Of seed per acre, and the
season was perfect in every re-
spect for its growth. They do
not state what the weather was
when the corn was cut, or the
time of day it was done. TO
be fair in such trial, the wealth
er ought to be sunny two days
before, and the stalks not cut
till all the morning dew was
dried OF. DIR. Bailey, of Mas
sachusetts, asserts, that he can
E,row 20 tons Of corn per acre.
IL he docs we think he will have
to resort to the Cuzco sort, of
Peru, which grows there twenty
five feet high or more, and is
three inches in diameter or so
at the butt. This would be a.
bout as eatablc and digcstible as
cord wood, unless his method of
ensilage can transform it to pal
atable fodder. He is now cult
waiting a mammoth ensilage corn,
Of which he thinks highly. We
hope when his crop Of this has
been gathered and fed to his an
imals, he will not only give its
yield per acre, but the value Of
its fodder to his stock in COM
parison with the smaller sweet
corn.

Republican Faleshoods.

The republican party, one and
all, during the terrible period of
the trial of the Lincoln murde-
rers were worked up to an inten-
sity Of feeling that admitted lit
tie mercy to any in the slightest
degree connected, or supposed
to be connected, with that afro
cious affair; and the death of
Mrs. Surratt was demanded in
order to appease the federal
clamor of the hour. No mercy
was to be shown; and the con-
sequence was the sacrifice of a
woman now known 10 be inno-
cent. 1t was one of the most
infamous crimes that fanaticism
ever demanded, and will blot the
republican party as long as it
has an existence.
The late attempt to place the
blame of her execution, partial
ly upon Gen. Hancock, was SIM
ply political malice, and shows
the inconsistency of his republic
can foes. The death of the poor
woman was demanded by that
party with the ferocity of blood
hounds, and yet, finding nothing
in the private character of the
democratic candidate to assail,
they set up the cry that he was
guilty of Official participation in
a crime authorized and carried
through by them alone, the dis
grace of which they can never
escape so long as the dreadful
history lives III the memory of
the American people.
How humiliating to the intel
lect of the country, the refec-
ton that the same political par
ty that had the entire response
bility for the atrocious murder
Of that innocent woman, should
now, for mere political effect, at
tempt falsely and most wrong
fully to injure a brave soldier,
who so often perilled his life to
save the Union, by charging up
on him misconduct for having in
some way participated in that
act which that whole party de-
manded and approved at the
time. So much for the honesty
of the republican party! SO much
for its consistency! so much for
its love of truth!

Rebel Debts.

eff Gen. Hancock is elected, =
say the organs, ''the rebel claims
will be paid" During the past
four years the democracy has
controlled the house of repre-
sentatiycs. During the past two
years it has controlled both
branches Of congress. During
all that time not a dollar has
been appropriated to pay a claim
which the most radical of "stal-
warts" can criticise as improper
or unjust, and the harpies of the
lobby who secured appropria-
tons to the extent Of 100000
600 from republican congress for
southern claims have been driv-
en- out. The people are not blind
in this matter, and cannot be
hoodwinked. The record of the
two parties is too clear for dis
pute or argument. But a more
effectual estoppel of all this non.
sense about rebel debts, &C., is
the amendment to the constitu-
ton which expressly forbids the
payment of rebel claims. This
amendment now forms a part
Of the constitution and cannot
be disposed of, except to un-
amend, which would require the
assent oftwo-thirds of the States
Incorporation would be defeat
ed in the southern States alone.
unless men in the South are fon-
der Of paying taxes than they
are generally supposed to be.

Alleged Remedy for Burns and
ScaldS.

SRI beg to enclose an eX-
tract from a German paper ma
ming a remedy for burns. had
occasion to try it a few days a.
go, and was surprised at the re-
suit. l hope that it may relieve
many sufferers from pain as per-
fectly as it did myself GW.S.
"Seeing so many accounts of
accidents by burning, | am re-
minded of an old, efiicacious,
and simple remedy. Thirty-two
years ago, in the West Indies, |
saw a man that had been fear
fully burned relieved in a quar-
ter of an hour of all pain, and
completely restored to health
within a few days. | have since,
myself, often applied the rene
dy that was then used, and the
result was astonishing. Slit an
aloe leaf into Cllln Strips OF snreuS,
and lay these upon the burn or
the scald, applying a fresh lot
every six hours. The pain inn
mediately disappears,the blisters
vanish, and a new skin forms
over the wound. The aloe plant
is very common here, and its
leaves may be readily obtained.
In the Paris Figaro was publish
ed, some time since, a long row
Of communications thanking me
for having made known this SIM
PIE remedy through the columns
Of that journal. w. b. v"
