FT. BUFORD, Sept. 14-A breezy article
appeared in your paper about two months
ago gotten up by one who signed himself
s'Bijou." For a frst-class talsifer he
lays over anything the country ever pro-
duced. The prospects of the settlers are
brilliant in the near future, although
this season, owing to a scarcity OF seed,
the crops were small. This man, Bijsu,
spoke of the large crop that Geo. Morgan
had, when in reality his entire crop con-
slsts of one-hal1 acre of potatoes and
squaw corn. ...,,, ... ...:-s..,, ....as
The settlement on French -Joe's creek
consists of three, instead of ten. families,
and the marriagcable young ladies are a
scarcity instead of plentiful as before
stated. In fact his whole story was a
fabrication, piece of cxaggeration that
his victims complain OF, but we will for

Cut This Out and Save 1t.

A correspondent writes to an ex-
change as follows about the flower OF
a we'll known plant:
II have discovered remedy for con-
sumption. 1t has cured number OF
cases after they had commenced bleed
ing at the lungs and the hectic flush
was already on the cheek. After trying
this remedy to my own satisfaction, |
have thought that philanthropy re-
quired that | should let it be known to
the world. 1t is common mullen, steep
ed strongly and sweetened with coffee
sugar, and drank freely. Young or
old plants are good dried in the shade
and kept in clean bags. The medicine
must be continued from three to six
months, according to the nature of the
disease. 1t is very good for the blood
vessels also. 1t strengthens and builds
up the system, instead of taking away
the strength. 1t makes good blood and
takes inflammation away from the lungs"
It is the wish of the writer that every
periodical in the United States, Canada
and Europe should publish this recipe
for the benefit of the human family.
Lay this up and keep it ready for any
emergency.

USEFUL H1NTs.-Sprinkle Persian
insect powder in the feathers of your
chickens to rid them of lice. Where
borax and insect powder have failed to
exterminate cockroaches, sprinkle the
floor with powdered white hellebore /;
they will eat it and are poisoned by it.
When lettuce shows signs of running to
seed, if knife be passed through one
half of the stem of the shooting head,
the plant will be preserved good for an
additional week. You can get a stain
of oil off any carpet or wooden stuff by
applying dry buckwheat plentifully and
faithfully. Never put water to such a
grease spot, or liquid of any kind. For
chicken cholera there is nothing better
than carbolic acid, one drachm with
two gallons Of water. Let the fowls
have free access to it as a drink, and
mix it with their food once day. To
yentilate q stack, use a sack four or
five feet in length, which when filled
with hay or chaf will be about eighteen
inches in circumference. Place this
upright on the stack bottom, and raise
it as you build up around it with hay or
grain.

The American "$."

The editor of the London Whitehall
Review, at dinner recently PROFOUND
ed the following question: "What is
the origin of the sign for the American
dollar? Z" The American Consul did not
know. It was suggested by one of the
the guests, upon the authority of Notes
and Queries, that the sign was sort of
monogram of the United States, from
"U. S." But this would not do. The
American dollar, says the editor, is
taken from the Spanish dollar, and the
sign is to be fonnd, Of course, in the
associations Of the Spanish dollar. We
Uttered the table with books in the course
of our researches, but proved my point
to the end. On the reverse of the Spanish
dollar is representation Of the Pillars
of Hercules, and round each is a scroll
with the Inscription, "Plus Ultra"
This divice, In the course of time, has
degenerated into the sign which stands
at present for American, as we'll as
Spanish dollars, s." The scroll round
the pillars, take, represents the two
serpents sent by Juno to destroy Her
cules in his cradle.

What to Teach the Boys.

A philosopher has said that true edu-
cation for boys is to " teach them what
they ought to know when they become
men," What is it they ought to know,
then9 First to be true, to be genuine.
No education is worth anything that
does not include this. A man had bet
ter not know how to read-he had bet
ter never learn letter in the alphabet,
and be true and genuine in intention
and in action-rather than, being learn
in all sciences and all languages, to
be at the same time false in heart and
counterfeit in life. Above all things
teach the boys that truth is more than
riches, more than culture, more than
earthly power or position. Second, 10
he pure in thought, language, and life,
pure in mind and in body. An i'm
pure man, young or old, poisoning
ty stories and impure examples, is q
moral ulcer, plague-spot, a leper,
who ought to be treated as were the
lepers OF old, who were banished from
society, and compelled to cry "unclean,"
as warning to save others from the
pestilence. Third, To lie unseltish; to
care for the feelings and comforts of
Others; to be polite; to be generous,
noble and manly. This will include a
genuine reverence for the aged and
things sacred. Fourth, To be self-re-
liant and self-helpful, even from early
childhood to be industrious always,
and self-supporting at the earliest pro-
per age. Teach them that all honest
work is honorable, and that an idle,
useless life of dependence on others is
disgraceful. When a boy. has learned
these four things; when he has made
these ideas a part of his being, however
young he may be, however rich or how
ever poor, lie has learned some impor-
tant things%he ought to know when he
becomes man. With these four pro-
perly mastered it will be easy to find
all the rest.
