fro the erection of Congressional
library added to the list of special
orders: also the bill providing an
annual appropriation for ten years
to aid common school education. The
special orders already made give
precedence, first, to the Mexican
veterans pension bill; secondly, to
that removing burdens on the mer-
chant marine, and thirdly, to the
Interstate commerce bill. The naval
bill will be disposed of today. and
notice has been gwen that the post

brought forward, but 1t is not ex-

The Confederate Salt Works.

A correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Ledger gives an interesting ac-
count of Saltville, near the Clinch
mountains in West Tennessee. and
where the southern people obtained
their salt during the rebellion. The
locality is basin including about
SIX hundred acres, the bed of for
mer lake, forming one of those rich
bluegrass bottoms that are worth a
fortune to the cattle-raiser and un-
derlying 1T is salt rock. Here is
made the salt that supplies Western
Virginia, Eastern Tennessee, and
Northern Georgia and Alabama. In
1853, George w. Palmer, a New
York salt-maker from Syracuse,
came to the region and went into the
salt-making industry in small way.
Wells were sunk, piercing the salt
rock, the water beneath it was raised
to the surface, boiled in pans, and
the salt thus obtained. The indus
try was in moderate operation when
the rebellion began, and it then ex-
tended IN an amazing way. The
blockade of the southern ports cut
off all the odtside supply of salt, and
here almost the entire confederacy
had to come for it.. The manufac-
ture was made a national one. each
southern state established its-agency
paying royalty for the salt produc-
ed, and Col. Palmer, extending his
business, took in Gen. Stuart as
partner. They are now probably
the two wealthiest men in Virginia.
During the war federal troops de-
stroyed the works, hut after they
left the manufacture was resumed.
1t was enormously profitable for the
owners, who turned out as much as
ten million bushels n year. The re-
celpts of confederate money were at
times so heavy that they had not the
opportunity to count it, but bundled
it up, taking the account as sent
them. As gold appreciated and the
paper accumulated they bought land.
In this way Stuart got seventy thou
sand acres, and Palmer bought all
the region surrounding Salt Lick,
thus getting magnificent estate Of
twelve thousand acres, on which he
now lives with his brother, and breeds
many thousand head of sheep and
hundreds of fine cattle. The salt in
dustry by this process often produc-
ed them an acre of land for bushel
of salt in the high war prices, but
the production has now fallen off,
about 600, 900 bushels being turned
out annually.

THINGS THAT ARE NOT.

That she was holy, pure and true.
A friend to give delight on earth,
4 voice to bid man look above.
Her consfancy her only worth.
Alas! like this she comes to very few.
| heard her saerrl name
On lips of many, v"ung and oil;
looked their idol in the face.
A piddy, pleasure seeking dame.
Whose vanity is her disgrace,
Whose Summer friendship fades before
the cold.
Is love then but dream,
The sweetest fancy man can know!
Or has she broken earthly bars
And fled with her celestial CLEAN,
To shine al,it among the stars
And look with scorn upon the clods be
low?
When Faith and Hope are dead,
When life has for its only aim
To seek the passing moments bliss,
To find suiliciency of bread,
Man soon his highest joys will miss,
And seeking Love will find her but II

Re Somebody.

Robert J. Burdette, the facetious
editor OF the Burlinton Hawkeye, has
been lecturing to large audiences in
different parts of the country, and in
his amusing style he imparts to the
rising generation some wholesome
advice. The following is from one
of his lectures
"Be somebody on your own ac-
count, my son, and don't try to get
along on the reputation of your an
cestors. Nobody knows and nobody
cares who Adams grandfather was,
and there is not man. living who
can tell the name of Brigham 1oungs
mother-in-law. The lecturer urged
upon his hearers the necessity OF
keeping up with the every day pro-
cession, and not pulling back in the
harness. Hard work never was
known to kill men it was the fun
that men had in the intervals that
killed them. The fact was, most
people had yet to learn what fun
really was. A man might 60 to Eu-
rope and spend million dollars, and
then recall the fact that he had
great deal more fun at picnic twen-
ty years ago that cost So cents. The
theory that the world owed every
man living was false. The world
owed a man nothing. There was
liyingin the world for every man,
however, provided the man was will
ing to work for IT If he did not
work for it, somebody else would
earn it, and the lazy man would "get
| left. % There were greater opportu-
! mites for workers out West than in
the Eastern cities, but men who went
out West to grow up with the coun-
try must do their own growing.
There is no browsing allowed in the
Vigorous West. An energetic man
mi ght go out into the far West, and
! in two or three years possess himself
of a bigger house, bigger yard, a
bigger barn. and a bigger mortgage
than he could obtain by ten years
work in the East. Ali young men
ought to marry, and no young man
should envy old men or rich men.
In conclusion, AR Burdette said that
a man should do we'll whatever he
was given to do, and not despise
drudgerv.

SheIbina Democrat: S. Wonsey,
q thrifty farmer IN the vicinity OF
Clarence, cut second cropo clover
on sixteen acres of his meadow, and
threshed out the seed which made
four bushels per acre. Last week
he sold forty bushels of this toSparks
Brothers. this city. The seed IS
worth seven dollars per bushel.
About 500 acres of clover were rails
ed last year south of Clarence, 14S
acres of it on the Gaskill farm. 1t
is not difficult to calculate the amount
of money which the farmers of the
locality named will realize from that
one crop. But few of our farmers
raise much clover. They depend
principally on timothy for hay and
bluegrass for pasture. Some mix
clover with timothy, which increases
the yield of the hay, and makes
more pasture. Glover is said to be
somewhat difficult to cure: and timo-
thy hay Is generally preferred
These two grasses seem to flourish
best together, in this section; as
clover alone is sometimes destroyed
by the winter.

senatar Blair,s Petitions.


In the Senate of the United States
on the 3Oth ult., Mr.. Senator Blair
presented q petition signed by about
900 citizens of the District of Col
umbia and other petitions signed by
large numbers of citizeus of the Ter
ritories of Washington, Dakota and
Idaho, all praying for the enactment
by Congress of a law prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of alcoholic
liquors In the District and Terrific
ries.
Mr.. Blair said that for many years
petitions of this character have been
coming to both branches of Congress
without any tangible result. Dur
ing all these years the agitation had
been constantly gaining strength.
He looked upon the problem lnvolv-
ed as one of the most serious which
can engage attention; not alone from
the standpoint of the moral reformer,
but as we'll from that of the econo-
mist and statesman. 1t demanded at
the hands of Congress as profound
study as any subject which could
come before it.
In the remarks, few days ago,
of the Senator from Maine (Mr.
Frye), that gentleman had shown
how the rules of Congress on the
subject of liquors in the Capitol had
been set at naught, and an impress
ion was widely prevalent among the
people that the Capitol itself had
come to be used as sort of national
groggery. If this impression was
an error it should be corrected, and
if founded on fact the fact should be
promptly and effectively dealt with
What Congress had thought fit to do
for the Capitol it had no reason for
refusing to do for the District in
which the Capitol wos situated.
There could be no doubt of the au,
thority of Congress in the matter
either in the District or in the Terri
tories. Whether prohibition was the
best method of dealing with the evils
of intemperance or not, it was Ger
tain that large proportion of the
most thoughtful and conservative, as
we'll as most liberal. minds among
the American people believed it t.
be the only complete remedy. These
petitions, Mr. Blair continued, have
come here under the auspices of thu
Woman's Christian Temperance Un'
ion, which he looked upon rs one o.
the most powerful agencies for good
which the world had yet seen. ant
as the subject, for its seriousness
and Importance, was fast forcing it
self upon the attention of the Amer
lean people, he hoped it would re
ceive the earnest consideration o
Congress. Washington, especially
as it was the representative city
should also be the model city of th
