,hree-fourths of a teacup of lard and one
fourth coal oil, mix well, and set near a
stove fire until they thoroughly dis
solved. Apply with sponge morning and
evening.
We hail thee, spring. we do indeed.
We hail thee with appropriate fuss;
In fact, we'd rather thus proceed
Than have thee smartly hallins us.
We hail thee for the coaxing kiss
Thou giyest to the datfodil,
Although we quite severely miss
The snow from off the coasting hill.
We hail thee for the enterprise
Thou giyest to the lurking hen,
Regretting yet the pumpkin pies
That winter fed the maws Of men.
We hail thee for the flood of song
That waits to celebrate thy birth,
Reserving sentiments quite strong
To fit the mud thou bring 10 earth.
We hail thee-yes with hail rough
And terrible as bolts OF Jove,
For that thou bringest tho tough
Fierce tuSsle with the paTlor stove.

The Pioneer Cotton Mills displayed at
the Cotton Exchange yesterday specimens OF
the first work done, IN the shape of two lap
per rolls of cotton. One was made from
material which graded strict ordinary, but
the roll produced was decided by the most
expert cotton samplers to be middling. The
other was produced from gin sweepings-
known on on the market as "dog-tail," and
the sample shown was the doggondest dog
tail-the yield grading strict ordinary. The
DISPLAY was yerV creditable especially as il
course, great improvement will be made
when everything gets in order. The Pioneer
Cotton Mills promise abundant yield OF
profits to their owners, and may become the
nucleus of numbers of others to the extent
that within a few years Memphis may be-
come the Manchester of the United States.
