lose his daughter to ooachman, but the
injury was rubbed in when the daughter,
presumably at the instigation of her new

against her parent for money alleged to
be her own on deposit In . New York
bank. The mania for suing the old gen.
tleman seems catching. Mrs. Dora Stolpe
sues Morosini psrs for $500 damages for

in returning Victoria to her parents at

iihlehStlA Spiders.

Spiders have, .pften been celebrated,
both in history and folk lore, and many
a prisoner has beguiled the weary hours
of.his captivity by making a pet of
spider. The Mahommedans liyenerate
the spider on account of the legend that
one of them saved their prophet by spin
ming web in front Of the: cave where ne
lay concealed from his enemies. Accord.
ing to a rabbinical tradition, a spider did
a Ike service to King David, when hiding
from the pursuit of Saul, by spinning her
web across the mouth. Of the. cave in
which he was biding, and Saul, thinking
no one could be within, passed on. A
similar fact is related in the Acta Sancto'
rum, of St. Felix, during the Decian
persecution, who, having passed band

BY. them. if be could tell them where
Felix. then, was Ia question he did not
deem it necessary to answer), turned aside
aud crept through hole in ruined old
wall across which friendly spider lost
no time in spinning lovely web which
entirely covered the opening. Quickly
discovering their mistake, his prosecutors
retraced their steps in search of him,
but their pursuit was fruitIess, as they
passed his hiding place, not deeming it
possible that any one could have pene-
tra.ed an aperture so closely covered by

1SS4.-Editor Of the Journal Of COM
merce: We are informed that the Gov,
eminent uses q very superior kind Of
wash for whitewashingss light. houses and;
other public buildings of this character,
Will you kindly inform us Of what, in.
gradients this whitewash is composed,
mode of mixing together, how applied
&C.?
SUBSCRIBERS.
Reply.-Take two quarts of unslacked
lime, five gallons of warm or hot water,
some glue and fine salt. Put tie lime
in vessel and add one gallon of warm
water, and when this, water is nearly
absorbed, if for inside work, throw in
the boiling lime a piece of glue about Il
inches square, and continue to add water
so as to keep the lime boiling, but do not
let it get dry and lumpy, neither let it
get so drowned with water as to stop
boiling it. When the lime has been
broken to pieces by boiling do not stir it,
but perforate it by stick so that the.
water will get under the bottom of it:
When it has ceased boiling, which will
be signald by its refusiug:to smoke, hhroE,
ina handful of salt, and pour in the re"
mainder of the water slowly, and be sure
to stir it in at the same time. If for
wood work and the first coat (outside) it
should have little more glue and be put
on.thick, but the second coat will readily
bear the addition of another gallon of
water. Brick or stone work requires the
first application to be made thinner or OF
with six gallons of water, so that it will
take hold ofiporous substances. The
subsequent application should be of a
substance. Apply the above with
an ordinary whitewash brush, the hairs
Of which have been thoroughly wetted
lin order toiswell them and prevent their
drying) before they are,introducea in the
limewash. The above is our recipe, and
if Uncle Samuel has anything better we
are not aware of it.

A Horrible Story From Edgefleld.

The Edgefeld Advertiser of the l4th
instant contains the following: or ,,
Jennings, 3. 6 sMor gan and j. P. Reese
were out fishing in the Savannah River
a short distance above McDaniel's ferry,
they discovered something in the water
which they took to be dead goose, but
on approaching it they found to their
horror that it was.a xhite chila-a newly
born iafa6t. 1t had to all appearance
lain in the water r@for several days, the
body being terribly mutilated; Near it
in the water was very small batteau,
turned over on its side. 1t was we'll made
and thoroughly pitched inside. The
supposition is, that the unfortunate wal,
was placed in the batteau alive and
started down the river on its lonely and
dangerous voyage and that the boat was
upset in the ledge just above where it
was found and the child drowned.
