a young watch-naker named Reuben May
frequently holds forth. After her mothers
death ,euben wants to marry I've. but
she asks time to consider. and goes
down 10 her fathers people at the
village Of Polperru in Cornwall. She finds
her uncle really the head man OF a village Of

Use Of Salt.

In many cases of disordered stomach,
teaspoonful of salt is certain cure.
In the violent internal aching termed
collie, add a teaspoonful of salt to pint
. of cold water, drink it and go to bed it
is one of the speediest and best remedies
known. The same will revive person
who seems almost dead from receiving a
fall, etc. In an apoplectic fit, no time
should be lost in pouring down salt wa
ter, If sufficient sensibility remains to
allow of swallowing it; if not, the head
must be sponged with cold water until
the senses return, when salt will COM
pletely restore the patient from his
lethargy. In a fit, the feet should be
placed in warm water with mustard ad-
ded, and the legs briskly rubbed, all
bandages removed from the neck, and
cool apartment procured if possible. In
many cases of bleeding at the lungs,
when other remedies fail, DIR. Rush
found that two teaspoonful of salt COM
pletely stayed the blood. In the case of
bite of a mad dog, wash the part with
strong brine for an hour; then bind
on some salt with rag. In toothache,
warm salt water held to the part and re.
newed two or three times will relieve in
most cases. If the teeth be covered
with tartar, wash twice day with salt
and water. In swelled neck, wash the
part with brine, and drink twice day.
also, until cured. Salt will expel worms,
if used in food in a moderate degree, and
aid digestion, but salt meat is injurious
if used much.

HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
Raising Seed Potatoes.

A correspondent says: Good crops
may be grown on a great variety of
soils, but 1t must be borne in mind that
a soil that is adapted to one variety of
potatoes Is not at all suitable for an
other, and the one variety requires to
be planted much thicker than another
on the same kind of soil. Hence it is
of prime Importance to the grower that
he should understand the nature of his
ground and also of his seed. / always
cut my potatoes to a single eye and by
making the hills trife closer and less
seed in each better results are obtained
than by throwing in seed by the hand
ful. The potato when propagated from
the tuber in the usual manner naturally
tends to deteriorate and revert to its
primative condition. The causes which
produce deterioration are continual
planting upon the same soil without
change of seed and imperfect cultiva-
ton. The remedy is to procure recently
originated varieties possessing the great
est amount of natural vigor. If was
to make list of any of the newly
originated varieties would name the
Mammoth Pearl as the best for general
cropper; the Magnum Bonum mot the
English variety of the same name) for
earliness and productiveness combined
having yielded last year 54S bushels
from one acre of ground, without any
manure whatever, and dug sixty days
after planting.

THE POLITICAL CURTAIN ABOUT TO
RISE.


Now that the state democratic ex-
ecutive committee has met and acted,
it will be in order for the county ex-
ecutiye committee to meet and take
steps toward the appointment of dele
gates to the state convention, which
meets at Nashville on Tuesday, the
Sth of June. Hon. B. G. Bledsoe, Of
Collierville, is chairman of the oxecu-
tive committee Of Shelby county, and
will doubtless call the committee to-
gether at an early day. The usual
course is for the committee to call a
mass meeting, 1t which delegates are
appointed to the state convention.
Any number can be appointed, so that
care is taken to select from the wards
aud districts in proportion to some
vote or basis agreed upon. At the
state convention each county is al
lowed 50 many otesaccordingt to arnle
that gives equal representative to all.
The vote Of a county may be cast by
one man or by a hundred, but it can
only vote so many points out of the
entire vote Of the state. The conven-
ton to meet at Nashville on the 8th
Of June will appoint delegates to the
national democratic convention at Gin
cinnati, which assemblies on the 22d Of
June, and will choose electors-one
for each congressional district andtwo
for the state at large. Possibly some
preferences for president may be in
dicated. but the Tennessee delegation
will most likely be uninstructed
The indications are that a majority
will be for Bayard. The August con-
V%ention is entirely a state affair and is
very properly kept apart from national
politics. 1t will be called for the sole
purpose of nominating a candidate for
governor. The high tax, the low tax,
the compromise and the no tax men
will all have the right, and doubtless
the opportunity. to yentilate their
views.
