How TO Use Hen MANURE.-Dry
muck, loan or other earth will re-
tard o. prevent the fermentation
and hold the ammonia that is
formed. Water enough to keep
quite wet will do the same in cool
weather. Plaster with enough mols-
ture will also absorb the ammonia,
but dry plaster will not. The Gus
tom Of mixing lime and ashes with
hen dung is wrong. They drive
out the ammonia instead of holding
it. Mouldiness implies and smell
of ammonia proves decomposition
and loss of ammonia. But the
smell of ammonia is extremely
pungent, and unless it is very
strong not much loss need be
feared. Since the chief fertillzlng
ingredient of hen dung is nitrogen,
and it has so little phosphoric acid
and potash, it is rather a stimu-
lating than a lasting manure. Many
farmers use it for corn. But near
ly all of our experiments imply that
this is poor policy, since corn gets
but little help from nitrogen, and
responds best to phosphoric acid
and potash. A little in the hill,
however, we'll mixed with earth,
may be very useful to give the
crop a start. Hen dung IS useful
for potatoes, garden vegetables,
OF, indeed, almost all crops, in,
cluding strawberries and other
small fruits.

CHAppED HANDs.-The raw winds
of late autumn often produce in the
hands of those who are much exposed
to them that roughness and cracking
Of the skin known as chaoping. If
nothing is done to prevent, and the
>erson is obliged to have his hands
frequently wet and dried, the
cracks will often get deep and be
painful. Corn husking is frequent
~ accompanied by sore hands from
this cause. AS both a precaution
md cure for cbspped hands we
:lave used the following with bene-
it: Wash the hands, and the face
also if it is inclined to chap, with
Borax Water, and afterwards rub
with an ointment made by melting
Mutton-t tallow (or suet), and then
gradually adding an equal quantity
Of Glycerine, stirring the two to-
ye;her until cool. For the hands,
this mixture can be best applied at
night, using it freely, and warming
it in by the fire, after which an old
pair of gloves can be put on to keep
the bedclothes from being seized,
and also make the skin of the hands
softer. An excellent Glycerine oint-
ment for chapped hands is made
by melting, with a gentle heat, two
ounces of Sweet Oil Of Almonds,
half an ounce of Spermacetti, and
one drachm of White Wax. When
melted, remove the stove, and add
gradually one ounce of Glycerine>
and stir until the mixture is cold.
Tie ointment can be scented with
any perfume to suit the fancy.
Keep in wide-nccked bottles. -.

The Emma Mine Again.
Southern Utah Times

"The notorious Emma mine, which
has alike dissipated fortunes and repu-
tatiOns, is likely according TO the Salt
Lake Tribune, to resume its place
among the rich mines of Utah Terri
tory. This mine is now in better con-
ditiOn and fuller of promise than IL
has been at any time since the wrang-
ling and counterjumping over it first
began" The above, says an Eastern
contemporary, shows the Importance of
thorough and competent investigation
Of mining properties. For years the
Emma mine has been a synonym for
fraud and basest swindling operations.
New developments prove that the
mine itself Is one Of the richest in that
territory, and all the blame should be
east upon the Incompetent and shame
fui mismanagement. Some idea Of
the wasteful methods Of doing bust
ness may be gained from the fact that
the ore from the vase dumps has been
worked over three times at a good
profit.

Glen Canada, the oldest negro in
Virginia, died on the Sd inst, at the
home of some of his relatives, near
GuilfOrd, in London county, at the
advanced age of nearly 121 years.
When Glenn was middle aged, about
60 or 20 years, he became the property
of Mr.. Lee, wealthy citizen of Lon
don county. He proved worthy man
and a faithful servant, and enjoyed
the fullest confidence of his master,
who frequently intrusted him with
large sums of money and the transac-
ton of important business missions.
At the death of the elder Lee provision
was made by will for the manumis-
sions of Glenn, but the latter at that
time could not accept his freedom and
remain in Virginia, he removed to
Pennsylvania, but soon returned to
London, and surrendered himself 10
the heirs of his late master, he was
purchased by Mr.. Matthew p. Lee,
son of his former master, for $50. He
continued in the service of the Lee
family until, by the proclamation of
President Lincoln, he was again set
free. But, after brief separation, he
again returned to the surviving men,
bers of the Lee family, with whom he
nOminally as "hired SER
want" but really as pensiOner upon
their charity, until few months ago,
when he went to live with some of
his own race and family connection
near GuilfOrd A few weeks after his
change of residence he received that
which sooner or later comes
to all men, and he died. Had he lived |
until next January, according to a

AN EXTRAORDINARY PROCEED
IN q,

On Thus day morning last, by or
der of the United States Court sitting
is this city, Deputy United States
Marshall Price arrested VIM. French,
l.. r. Reid, and A. $. Butcher, Esq,
commissioners of election for Warren
county, on the charge Of omission to
discharge their duty ns officers of cleo
ton" Martin Ma shall, Esq, chair
man of the Democratic Congressional
Committee for the Sixth District, and
A. w. Brien, Esq, chairman of the
Democratic Committee for that county
were also arrested by the same officer,
under process from the same court,
charged with procuring officers of
election to omit their duty"
These gentlemen promptly entered
their appearance in the United States
Court room yesterday morning.
We cannot understand how these
gentlemen can be considered criminals
for acting rs they understood the law
to direct. 1t is known to the readers
of THE COMET that it has expressed
the opinion that the Warren county
votes were thrown out upon INSULT
cient reasons, but it never occurred to
us, that such action could be tortured
into an indictable otf1nse. The Com
missioners We're sworn officers, re-
CURED to construe the law and act
censcientiously upon their construc-
ton of il. According to our view of
the matter they construed it wrong,
but they did 50 conscientiously. If
they are to be arraigned for this false
construction-ad it to have
been ful@c-what is to be the fate of
our Circuit Judges and Chancellors
who make erroneous decisions If
wrong has been done anybody there
is way to right it through the Courts
without using their machinery in the
interest of partisan persecution.
But if the prosecution of the Com
missioners is an absurdity. what are we
to think of the arrest and arraignment
of Messrs. Marshall and Brien who
had no part in the transaction except
to enter their united protest against
the counting of votes alleged to be
illegal? If the charge against them
can hold water, then hereafter no At
tOrney NUT dare to prosecute or de-
fend case without imperiling his
liberty if it should turn out that his
view of the law should not meet the
sanction OF a Federal Judge or United
States Attorney.
We regret to see this extraordinary
procedure on the part of the United
States Court. 1t looks very much
like relapse into the old uses Of
Federal Courts of political persecu-
tion. 1t is proper enough to investi
gate the Warren county case thor
oughly, and if the law has been out
ragged, let the action of the Commits
sioners be set aside, and the votes
counted as returned. But the arrest,
and punishment of men for an error
of construction of law is an outrage
upon the right and liberties of citi-
Zens and officers.

THE EULOGY OF JUDGE GEORGE
ON THE LATE GOV. BROWN.
some Comments of the Press

Brandon Republican: "The address
of Judge j. u. Gorge, upon the life
and services of the late Albert G.
Brown, delivered in the State Capitol
on the evening of the 18th inst, was a
brilliant affair, and was listened to
Columbus index: "The eulogy of
Judge George is production of rare
merit and reflects much credit upon
him. Throughout it is a faithful p0r-
trayal of the character of Gov. Brown,
and reflects the feelings which our
people cherish for his memory"
n O. Times Special HE traced
the career of Gov. Brown and declared
that it was the history of Mississippi
for a quarter of a century. Elected
twice to the governorship at time
when the people were intoxicated with
a reckless spirit of speculation and
had traded largely on the basis of a
vicious credit, when banks had been
chartered in every county and the
State was flooded with an irredeema-
bic currency, plats laid off for imagin-
AIRY cities in unbroken forests, railroads
projected to connect air castle munich
palities, Gov. Brown was elected.
"The bubble burst and Brown tri- |
and grandly steered the
people through it.
Governor Brown began pub ic life
at t%enty-one, was elected to the leg
stature, speaker of the State legisla-
5ure, judge, congressman, governor,
United States senator, was never de-
ieated for an office, and WASH ever out
If office until after the surrender.
General Georges eulogy is charac-
erized by all as a masterpiece of good
English, a splendid array of historical
acts, and of most attractive and ;
Ouching eloquence."
