Justice to the memory Of Gen. Taylor

Presidency of Mr.. Polk he issued an or

Mexico TO surrender the country to Texas
whenever tho authorities Of that state

by one ofthc members OF Gen. Taylors

Tom AToES. Every one who has even
but Il small patch of ground, ought to
have a few tomato vines to supply his
table through the season. To econO-
mze space it may be advisable to train
them on trellis OF stakes; but the better
way is to let them run on the ground,
ns they strike root at the joints Of the
stalk and thus draw more nutriMent
from the soil. To keep the ripe fruit
from being soiied or eaten by worms,
refuse hay or even brush may be laid
around the vines, which answer tho
double purpose in dry weather, u an
excellent mulch After the blossoms
begin to form the ends. OF the Wines may
be nipped off occasionally In order TO
send the sap into the fruit rather than
the stalk.

BOSTON, July 24.--The shore end
of the French cable was landed last
night and hauled into the telegraph
house on Rouse's Hammock. The
end Of the cable is said to be in good
working condition to Duxbury. Ii is
nearly all up, but there is as yet no
communication from Rouse's Ham
mock, and will not be probably for
some time.


The steamers Chiltern and Scande-
ria take their departure this afternoon.


A battery of artillery, for firing sa-
lutes, will be sent By the State au-
thorities to assist in the cable celebra-
ton at Duxbury on Tuesday The
Governor and other State officials
have been invited to participate, and
will probably do SO.

The Sioux are, perhaps, mentally,
morally and physically, the best ody
of Indians on the Plains. As wives,
their women are faithful and if wo-
man becomes lewd, they pass her on
the prairie. That is to say, they take
her out of the village, stake her down
on the ground, where she is left for
three mig its, subject to outrage by the
roughs of the tribe, who can kill her
If they wish. She is, after this, made
TO carry wood, water and do hard la
Dor in the tribe, and is disgraeed for
ever. Polyg gamy is practiced in the
tribe, but not extensively. A man
may have as many wives as he can
keep, but he must buy them. The uni
versal Price of a wife is a pony, or tor
a white man an American horse. A
squaw .once bought becomes the i'm
mediate property of the purchaser, but
he must catch her. Men have bought
wives and rever been able to catch
them. NJ ost of them, however, are
quite willing to be caught


An Indian, several years ago, took a
fancy to an officers horse, and tried ev-
cry way to purchase him, but the off,
Ger would not part with the ANIMAL
Finally the Indian offered bis sister, a
beautiful girl, in exchange for the
horse. Fearing he would steal or main
the animal, and not wishing to offend
him. the officer gave the Indian tile
horse, but declined to receive the girl
in return. The young lady however,
was informed that she was soldj and so
the matter stood. After waiting a long
time for her husband to come and claim
her, she one day, as he rode by the
camp, put herself in his way, when,
seeing he took no notice of her, she
nalvely asked: "Why don't you catch
me?" The officer, whe had seen her
before, inquired what she meant. when
she roundly told him she was his wife.
and not at all pleased that he had not
come for her. He never claimed her,
but she was regarded y her tribe as
the white mans squaw and, at last ac-
counts, she was still single and wait

The Scientific American says; The un-
pleasant odor produced by pei spiration
is frequently subject of vexation to
persons who are subject to it. Moth
ing is simpler than to remov this odor
much more efieetually than by the APP
plication OF such nnguents and per-
lumes as are now in use. 1t is only
necessary to. procure some compound
spirits of ammonia, and place about two
teaspoonsfuls in basin of water
Washing the face, hands and arms with
this leaves the skin as neat, clean and
fresh as one could wish. The wash is
perfectly harmless and very cheap: 1t
is recommended on the authority of all
experienced physician. and it ought to
be tried at least by all those whose per-
sons are offensive in this respect.

treats the printer. If he gets common
wife he forgets the printer altogether t
he gets a tolerable good wife, he sends

gets very good one, he will send the
printers nice slice of cake accompany
ing the notice. If he gets an extra
one, he will send a nice Slice OF cake
aud bottle of wine with the notice.
And if he gets glorious, angelic crea-

We copy as follows from the Ameri-

1--WE have heard OF two methods of
getting rid of stumps, which, as they
appear feasible and expensive, we hope
some reader will try and report upon:
Bore with two-inch augur to she heart
of the centre; fill the cavity thus made
with salphuric acid, or with crude oil
of petroleum. In the first case, the
acid becomes the destructive agentwith-
in few months; in the latter. when
the stump becomes saturated With the
oil it is fired, and will then burn out to
the last particle like candle."

resided and entered into business relations with Mr.


Elijah Kennedy and other persons In the pursuit of

visit Havana. This about the middle of last April

only tangible theory apart from that Of arrest and

Havana is that he started for Matanzas where his ac

able him escape any difficulty arising from want of
passport and that he was murdered by the boatmen


for his ready cash. This disappearance should receive
more attention than has hitherto been given it.

A correspondent of the Prairie Farmer
gives the following cholera preventive:
Collect your cobs in a pile and burn
them until they are thoroughly charred,
then wet them out. Sprinkle brine or
salt on the Goals, and let your hogs eat
all they want. Farmers try it, and my
word for it, your hogs will do well.
When fattening, give once in two
weeks; stock hogs once month. When
you want to feed them cob coal let them
do without salt for n few days over
their regular time, so that they will eat
more freely of the coal. Last winter l
neglected giving my hogs cob csai, and
the result was, in the spring they took
the cholera; ten of them had it bad. l
raked up the cobs in the lot and charred
them well, then salted the coal freely.
They all ate of the coal but three that
were too far gone to get up. They died;
the rest got well. / was surprised the
next morning to see in their discharges
a large amount of small white worms.
My belief is, the worms are what do the
mischief.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph, Radical


The Pennsylvania Legislature is rap
idly sinking beneath contempt. The
Oldest inhabitants of Harrisburg, who
have seen many disreputable men con-
gregated in the Capitol, and many dis.
reputable scenes enacted within its
walls, unite in the opinion that the
present body Of lawmakers, especially
those in the lower house, combine in a
greater degree than any of their prede-
ceSsOrs a host of bad qualities, with
scarcely a redeeming virtue. They
are at once ignorant and cor
rupt, too stupid to perfect any
good legislation, yet sharp enough
TO eagerly embrace every available op-
portunity for earning the wages of We
nality. If they could dispose of the
State wholesale to foreign power, and
pocket the proceeds, there is little
doubt that they would be as ready to
make the transfer as Russia was to COZ
vey Alaska to the United States; but as
this species of bold rascality is imprac.
ticable, they are forced to content
themselves with the paltry part of sneak
thieves, making their raids upon the
treasury and the rights of the people in
the style and spirit Of the petty offenders
who smuggle themselves into dwellings
when front doors are incautiously left
open, to carry off whatever they can
surreptitiOusly seize, whether it be Jew.

There are a good many recipes for
collie, but the most of them are hard to
be got at short notice. Here is one that
is always handy: Dissolve all the salt
you can in about one quart of water,
and drench withit. If it does not give
relief in fifteen or twenty minutes, re-
peat the dose; and then if that does not
stop it, put blanket on the horse, over
the kidneys, and turn on brine as hot as
you can bear on your hand for eight or
ten minutes, and give another dose.

The "loyal" people of Martinsburg
are having some trouble over the Post
master question. An election was tc
have been held on Saturday TO ascer'
tain the choice of the Repub'
lican voters in relation to the matter,
but one of the candidates declined to
sign an agreement limiting the privilege
of voting to Radicals of "the most
straightest sect" whereupon the other
candidate declined to go into an cleo
tion.


For the information of such cOmmu-
mites as are proceeding upon the LIN
coin plan" of electing Postmasters, it
may be well to state that GRANT has so
far paid no attention to the wishes of
the people as thus expressed. In CO.
shoctou, Ohio, the loyal folks elected
their man, but the authorities at Wash
ington ignored the election entirely and
selected another person for the place.


In connection with this Martinsburg
case, it may be well to mention that
FOREMAN is credited with saying rather
a smart thing concerning the dispute.
AS it is the first and will probably be
the last sensible saying of his life, we
record it. The Ner Era says:


A gentleman of this place, who is deep

While in Washington, a short time since,
approached Senator Boreman on the
subject. He suggested to the Senator
that change must be made, aud that
if it was not made, it would be the
cause of breaking up the Radical party
in this county. The Senator heard him
through, and then quietly remarked
that if the party was he'd together by
such slender tenure it had better
"bust." Poor consolation, that.
