A correspondent wishes the receipt given
some years since for the whitewash used on
the east end of the White House. For
her benefit and the benefit of others, it is
repeated. Take one-half bushel of nice
unslacked lime, slack it with boiling water; /;
cover it during the process to keep in the
steam. Strain the liquid through a fine
seive or strainer, and add to it a peck of
salt, previously dissolved in warm water :;
three pounds of ground rice, boiled to a
thin. paste; One-half pound powdered
Spanish whiting, and one pound of clean
glue, which has been previously dissolved
by soaking it well, and then hang it over a
slow fire in a small kettle within larger
one filled with water. Add five gallons of
hot water to the mixture, stir it well, and
let it stand for few days covered from
dust. 1t should be put on hot, and for this
purpose it can be kept in a kettle on
portable furnace. 1t is said that about
pint of this mixture will cover square yard
upon the outside of house, if properly
applied. Fine or coarse brushes may be
used, according to the neatness of the Job
required. 1t answers as we'll as oil paint
Tor wood, brick, or stone, and is cheaper.
1t retains its brilliancy for years. There is
nothing of the kind that will compare with
it, either for inside or outside walls. Build
ings and fences covered with it will take
longer to burn than if they were painted
with oil paint. Coloring matter may be
put in and made of any shade desired.
Spanish brown will make reddish pink
when stirred in, more or less according to
the quantity. A delicate tinge of this is
very pretty for inside walls Finely pull
verified common clay. well mixed with
Spanish brown, makes reddish stone
color; yellow ochre stirred in makes yellow
wash, but chrome goes further, and makes
a color generally esteemed prettier. 1t is
difficult to make rules because tastes are
different; it would be best to try expert
ments on a shingle and let it dry. Green
must not be mixed; it destroys the color,
and the color has an effect on the white
wash which makes it crack and peel.-N.

How are the best results obtained in
green manuring? The best results come
with grain crop that is sown thick. In
plowing do not turn down too deep; few
inches is sufficient. This keeps the
strength near the surface, where the sun
has better effect upon it, converting it
into plant food. DO not sow Immediately
after turning down the crop, but wait
especially if the crop be advanced corn
until it has had time to decompose, and
the soil has had a chance to act upon and
with the crop. If the crop turned down is
quite heavy after it is rotted, mix the soil
and decayed material by using the cultiva.

The Lessees of the State Canals have
given notice that after the first of Decenn-
ber next, to which time they have paid
rent, they will abandon those canals to
the State. The reason given is that the
State has taken from them large basin
at the Cincinnati end of the Miami Canal
and permitted the citizens of Hamilton
county to drain and fill it, thus termina-
ting the canal about mile from the city
docks Also while ago the Legislature
permitted the Cleveland end of the Ohio
Canal to be considerably curtailed, al
though the Lessees as yet have the use
of the portion surrendered by the State
to the city.


The Lessees claim the agreement was
for the canals as they were at the time Of
making the lease, which runs until 1881,
and as. the State has seen fit to materially
change the condition of the canals with
out securing the consent of the Lessees,
the contract is no longer binding on the
latter.

Mary Virginia Burill, not Mrs Hubbell,

insane asylum at Flat Bush for three

band in Brooklyn, and learned from him
that he had obtained a divorce from her.

We learn thata case OF yellow fever
exists on board the American schooner


W. II. Knight, at present lying in quar-
antine, and that the quarantine physi-
clan, accompanied by his boatman, have
been visiting the said vessel, remaining


for period Of sometimes two and three


hours on board, after which time, hav-


ing been in close proximity with this


most dreaded and virulent disease, they


return to the shore, coming directly


into the midst of our citizens and that
of their own families, thereby en-.
dangering q contagious introduction
of this Infectious evil.


We assert, with positive and unques-
toned assurance, that our community
has sufficiently experienced, during the
last terrible epidemic the fatal re-
suits OF this most dreadful disease.
Therefore we cite this case in question
to the attention OF our board of health
for immediate action and consideration,
and anticipate they will at once act
upon it, as in our judgment, unless a
very decided and effective change be
made in relation to tho quarantine
physician and boatman visiting yellow
fever patients, or vessels with the fever
on board, and coming ashore imme-
diateIy thereafter, the prospective is
very promising for the introduction of
this contagion.

grand "Palais Royal" Our enterprising friend
Levy, who has for 30 many years been the popu-
ar proprietor of the dollar store, No 1877 Canal

publican institutions and ideas, and is deter
mined, with one fell ewoop, to obliterate the
name of dollar store forever. He is making prep
arstions for the opening of this elegant and gor-
geous establishment, and nothing will be spared
in making it the most attractive place in the
Southern country. Levys dollar store is known

known for its promptness in filling orders and
the polite attention of the clerks and the place to

There are many misapprehensions Gre
ated by the anarchy of ten days ago,
wnicn remains to be corrected. Officers
ana soldiers have been mIsrepresented
and misunderstood, the strikers have
been unjustly pronounced rioters and in
cendiaries, and the "People of Pittsburg''
have been soundly abused by some who
always have a stone to fling at their
,neighbors as proof Of their own virtue
and integrity. The "People of Pittsburgn
have been charged with being in syr1-.
pathy with Communism and incend,ar.
ism, and with refusing such hospitaH-
ties as troops brought bither to protect
public property and preserve the peace
should be entitled to.


| AS to hospitalities, the troops who
came to preserve the peace and protect
property failed in their mission absolute
ly. They were engaged in the first open
outbreak. and their presence was made
the excuse for the uprising of a second
and dangerous mob. The troops were
badly handled, and between the time of
indignation at reports that they had fired
upon defenseless people without cause
and their departure from the city, .'the
people" had no opportunity OF getting at
the facts in the case, nor of rendering as
sistance, though food did follow the
Philadelphians and wagon load WIS
ready to be started to them on Monday
morning, when it was ascertained they
had de parted from the scene of their en-
campment on Sunday night by special
train. The citizens had assembled. and
were devising measures for a restoration
OF order and the protection of property
on Sunday afternoon, when the fire
broke out for the second time, to
double the damage of the preceding
night.


They did organize, they restored order
and preserved the peace through the
trying times of Sunday night, and from
time till the present, regardless of cost or
personal sacrifices, of which they have
been by no means niggardly when called
on. The misfortune was that when the
trial came the "People of Pittsburg''
were made aware that their civil govern
ment was inefficient, and they must go
to work as if there had been no pretense
OF city and county officials There is
nothing in the entire history of the case
to warrant the unjust attacks which have
been made on the "People of Plttsburg"
by virtuously indignant writers who
know nothing Of the facts in the case
Other cities had the benefit of Pittsburg's
experience in time to take measures to
guard against her fate, or there might
now be stories to tell of Philadelphia,
Chicago, and st. Louis. 1t might be
well to consider, who restored order in
Pittsburg-not the military of the State
nor of the United States but the people
OF the city, who arose with one voice and
said disorder must be put down.

Turkish rule has reduced the country
than that the punishment was looked

but much prefer corn crops of which
both barely and wheat are everywhere
