The Farm and Household.

A perpetual paste can be made by dissolying one ounce -of allum in a guart of warm water; when cold add flour enough to make it the consisteney of cream; then stir into it halfa teaspoonful of powdered rosin. Boil ‘it to a proper consistency, stirring all the time. It will, keep for twelve months, and when dry may be softened with water. ! s

How to Keep Hams.

Every season more or less hams are destroyed by insects, or rendered too unpalatable to be eaten by decent people. By following this method the insect is kept at adistance. Itis very &x;xpl'e and within reach®of almost eviery farmer in the country: After the meat has been well cured by pickel and smoke, take some clean ashes free from bits of coal, moisten them with a little water so that they will form.a paste, or else just wet the hams a little, and use the dry ashes. | Rubbed in thoroughly they are a capital <imsect protector and the hams can be hung up in the smoke house or wood cham‘ber without any danger of molestation.—Country Gentleman. .

Remedy for Crounp.

-The Pottsville (Pa.) Miners' Journal says: The“ Old Mountaineer,” who has been a physician for sixty years, sends us the following cure for croup, which he says he has used for forty years and never known to fail: “Take a teacup full of fresh garlic, chopped fine, and put it in a pint of whisky. A They are ready for use in half an hour. When a child shows the least symptoms of croup, wet flannel with the mixture and put it about the child’s neck, Place another over the lungs. In thirty minutes the -absorbants will have carried the medicine to the larynx,glottis and epiglottis, and the child is safe. Sometimes the mixture produces nausea and the patient vomits. So much the better.” - - R

A Nation of Farmers. [From the Fort Wayne Sentinel.]

It is a favorite -argument of the friends of high tariffs that were the policy of free trade adopted by this country, we should be forced to become an agricultural people. That no strictly agricultural people ever. amounted to anything, is a commmon ‘expression of opinion. This is all the more evident for the season that the farmers of this country do not now make: any money. Every year the young men from the country arée' at-; tracted into the cities where they engage in law, mercantile pursuits, journalism or some other of the thousand occupations open to the active and diligent. Crops fail now and then, in -fact scarcely a year passes without a drought or a freshet, or a visitation of’ ‘some insect plague or-cattle diséase.— A cold winter kills all the fruit, and soa pre{l to all animate and inanimate nature the farmer struggles on. 1f helive agood way from a market, the ‘transportation- question adds a bitter annoyance. - It costs almost as much as his crop is worth to fransport it_to ‘the eastern markets. It is.natural to -infer that under these circumstances farming is already overdone. Half the number of persons engaged in industrial pursuits in this country are agriculturists. To force half as. many more into the same business, ‘would make it/ impossible for many farmers to make a living. ~That this result ‘would ensue from the adoption of free “trade seems to.be accepted as a matter -of fact. If it be necessary in order to prevent our whole- population from being driven to the farm, to support a pareel of industries by a tax of fifty per. cent, on- everything the farmer: . buys, it s the. very first instance of{ the kind furnished by history. England and France both nugged the de--lusive [phantom, protection, to their “bosoms for a.number of years, but both were forced to abandon it because it cost far more than it came to. Since they have becoine free traders, they have been able to-accomplish far more than at any period before. - There are a thousand things the people of ~this country can do besides farming. There is absolutely no reason for believing that we cannot, on a basis of free trade, successfully compete with _all the nations of the world. Whatever we can do best, we can do cheapest. — This is a proposition- as impossible of contravention as any axiom in mathematies. -Our country is not without resources.: We tan raise more.cotton | more wool, mine more coal, iron, lead, silver and gold than all the rest of the woild putitogether. The land abeynds in raw matetrials, food supplies, wgter facilities, and fuel. Itis quite incredible if, under these unparalleled circumstances, manufactures are unable “to 'ﬂogish without assistance from the government. - The fact that manufactures did not at once spring up in this country, is not se much to be wondered at. The old world had many centuries the start of us. Capital had be- - come accumulated in certain channels, and economy in the distribution of the. creative forces had already made considerable advancement. It is ‘natural that under these circumstances the Unit;%d States should want to be en_tirely independent, and equally natural that they should have met grave obsﬁ%;es., But we arenot obliged to theorize altogether in this matter.— There have been several trials of what practically amounted to free trade.— . The most I'mportant of these was the period included between 1846 and 1861. This was a period of great prosperity both national and individual. At that - time the eountry was trammeled with the*peculiar institution” in the Southern States, and by so much was its growth retarded. There were ¢ompar%ive]y few railroads. The nation had not been aroused to put forth its W%Yet in 1860 there were in the 135 mare cotton mannfactories than in 1870. This may serve as an instructive illustration of the folly of the claim that under a free ; system all men would be obliged to turn their attention to_farming.— The demand for cotton does not diminish as the population. of the ‘south ‘increases.. The whole south might be ed into an immense cotton field. . Where there is abundance of raw maerial manufactures naturally spring _up. ‘Thereis ne reason why the people of this country cannot manufacture cotton goods as cheaply as it is til. in Englgngi‘of als?wgn:rg.

ANOTHER BLAST FROM ADAM . CRNETIE. -£4 2 & He Nibbles at “Verols” Questions . and, Yankee Like, Replies ' by Asking Others.” : e _ 4 “"x;_)njm'. lIASALLE Co., ILt...} e ¢ January 16th, 1875. - To the Editor of the Navtiqnal Banner: DEAR SlR:—This evening finds me i‘seated in a writing position. To me the _BANNER comes. as re_freshin‘g,as the rain of a summer’s morning, with l the exception of a keen, cutting article written by a gentleman who signed his name “Vero.”

In the first place, what caused this controversy between myself and one or two Masons, who will have to give an account -for every vain and idle thodght’ an‘d;foxj»eye_i'y word: we say? Was it that anti-Mason divine who. preached the dedigatory sermon at Philadelphia -lasmnter ? I think more of the meanest Mason on earth than I doof such 4 man as*him. * I notice one gentleman at Normal School says, for aught he knows I want to become popular. But I have not 'got that far yet.. s

. To the question. I feel a pity for the, gentleman above named, who tiied to make it appear that sinful man is an angel; also, he says that I am strong. = But you see he is mistaken in-this matter, as I believe he is in many others. -~ Therefore, as God, the- - of all things, has said that He chooses the weak things of this world to confound the mighty, why, sir, this gives me encouragement to speak to ‘this, my fast ‘and wandering brother. ‘With a little laughter, you see, he has ‘asked questions of me‘that the Prophet Daniel, who was the interpreter of dreams, could not answer. In the first place, I will answer his. questions as the Yankee does, by askng'more. Ist. Let him name the chapter.and ‘Verse in the Holy Writ where it says that Moses was a Free Mason, and an “officer therein, then he will give me light, as he thinketh he hath light. “Moses was called -a goodly child by his mother, therefore she hid him. 2d. When God chose Moses He did 'not choose him to become a Mason, ‘but to lead the Children of Israel out of Egypt. -That. was his business in the world. Sir, turn to Exodus xviii, 17, and Moses’ father-in-law said unto him: “The thing that thou doest is not good.” Please read the 18th verse of the same chapter and it will show you that he will wear out, like you - will in trying to show that God called Masons to witness the coming of Christ. No, sir, my dear fellow trav‘eler to that: great day- for which all other days were made.. Now, when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the King, behold there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem-——not. Masens, but wise men. -Again, and there were in the.same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night. Those men, you will notice, were- not- Masens, but shepherds. Furthermore, the shepherds said one to another: “Let us now go even unto Bethlehem and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.” These were ‘sheplierds, also, and net Masons. i i

- Now, sir, you will notice that God uses secrets His wonders to perform; but since the world began. He hath taught not men to use or form secret combinations, for that would and does create jealousy; and we read that God is a jealous god. - But we _cannot be like God, if we can be angels while in the flesh. But I shall use moderation. If God does say because sentence against an evil. work is not speedily executed therefore the hearts of the children of men:are fully set in them fodoevil, 7 o :

Now, old wheel-horse, which denotes you, friend Stoll, you see my opponent has given me ten questions to answer, Which you know as'well as I do he cannot answer himself:

~ln the very first place, when God created man He pronounced him the most noble of all His works, but He never designated His people as being Masons or anti-Masons, but He can and does look upon men as being Christians and anti-Christians, or in other words as the righteous and the wicked. - And, again, as no man can retair two spirits at the same time, therefore no man can serve two masters. - s e

Sir, in your fourth ‘question YOu claim that the holy sacrament formed

a part of the basis of secret societies.

You can’t prove it, and there is no ‘man can be a Free Mason and a Ro-

man Catholic in good standing.: You speak of the Church not being social. Are you |going to bettgr the condition of the Church by séeking after cunningly devised fables ¢ ‘Mr. “Vero,” your terith and last question is, “What do the authorities in heaven propose to ‘do in order to bring about a better state of things ?” Now, as God is the highest authority, both in heaven and on earth, He proposes for meén to put their trust in Him and not in secret societies, wherein you have masters; “for one is your master, even Christ.” Come, Mr. “Vero,” let us reason together. The way 1 shave without a razor or soap, is with my pen. Without the least degree of animosity, I remain your wellwisher, = ADAM CHRISTIE.

Regularity Brings Vigor.

- Local irregularities produce weakness of the entire system. In order, therefore, to re-establish health and strength upon a sure basis, these .iiregularities must be permanently overcome. ‘Many persons endeavor to reform them by remedies which address themselves merely to the symptoms, without affecting the cause. If such individuals were to use instead Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, they wo'd -speedily. aggxwiate the difference between a medicine which palliates, and one which entirely removes physical disability. That prime régulator of 'bodily disturbances restores the derelict organsto. an uninterrg}pteﬂ and healthy performance of - their various ‘duties, whereby alone the system can recover its lost tone and vigor, Hogfetter’s Bitters are a tonic medicine, but they are a toni¢c which regulates ere they strengthen the system. 41-w4.

* INDIANA LEGISLATURE. ' ~ Senate Proceedings. | Jan. 26.—A memorial was presented | . from the City Council of Jefferson-| ville, declaring that the convict labor | at the Prison South is unjust and ille-|. gal, that the location of the Southern | Prison is a disadvantageous one, and | its abandonment. at an early day| would be for the interest of the State; and that no line of policy is wise| which, for the sake of increasing the revenue of the penitentiary, prostrates and degrades the citizen. 'The memorial is accompanied by a petition signed by over two thousand citizens, mostly of Jeffersonville; on the same subject, asking that the matter be in‘vestigated. The memorial and petition were referred to the Committee -on Prisons. The bill to repeal sections 272. and 273 of the law providing for a uniform assessment of taxes was taken up and referred to the Committee on Finance. The sections which the bill repeals provide that where auy. tract or lot of land is divided into parcels which cannot be described except by metes and bounds, the owners of such ‘land shall.cause a survey and platt of the same to be made and platted into lots, and in case of a failure on the part of such owners to do this, the county auditor shall cause such survey and platt to be made, the expense to be added to the tax levied on such property. In the afternoon the Senate- went into a committee of the whole on Senate bill 31, to repeal the | law regulating interest on judgments. The report of the Committee on Judiciary, to which the bill was referred, and which recommended that it be laid on the table, was concurred in. = -~ Jan. 27. — The Committee on Statehouse, appointed at the last session of the General Assembly, submitted a report and a bill authorizing the érection of a new State-house. The bill provides for. ‘the appointment of a board of commissioners to supervise the erection of the same. = A number of bills were read the second time and engrossed. Senate bill, by Mr, Stockslager, to provide that husband and wife may testify against each other in court, was indefinitely postponed. Jan. 28.—House bill 182, to repeal section 272 and 273 of the act to provide for a more uniform assessment of taxes, was passed. . A large number of repgrts of committees was made, after which the Senate went into committee of the whole to consider several resolutions instructing the Temperance Committee to engraft-in any bill they may prepare on the subject of temperance the feature of local option, a clause making the saloon-keeper personally liable for all damages Tesulting from the sale of ardent spirits, and a clause making purchaser and | seller alike responsible when such sale is made in violation of law. The remainder of the day was spent in committee of the whole for the purpose of considering these propositions.

‘The investigation now going on at ‘Washington, to unearth the frauds by which the Pacific Mail Company managed to draw enormous bounties from Uncle Sam, has already revealed some very startling facts.

: APPLETON’S AMERICAN CYCLOPADIA. - New Revised Edition. Entirely rewritten by the ablest’ writers on every - subject. Printed from aew type. and. il- ! lustrated with Several Thousand En- ' 3 - gravings and Maps. e ,

Tar work originally published under the title of TaE NEW AMkRIOAN CYOLUPEDIA Was completed 1n 1863, sinee which time the wide circulation which.it has attained in all parts of the United States, and the signal developments which have taken place in every branch gxg science, literatnre, and art have induceg the editors and publishers to submit 1t to an éxact and thorough revision, and to issu2 a new edition entitléd THE AMERIOAN CYOLOPADIA, - ¥ :

Within the last ten years the progress of discovery in every départment of knowledge has made :a new work of reference an impera ive want. . The movement of political aftairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and usefnl arts and theconvenience and refinement ofsociallife. Great wars'and consequent revolutions have occurred, i‘nvolvinlg national changes of peculiar moment,— The, civil war of vur own couutry, which was at its-height when' the last voiume of the dld work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity has ‘been commenced. = . PR .

Large - accessions to eur geograghica}knowledge have heen made by the indefatigable explorers of Africa. il e e T

The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, ‘have bronght into public view,’a multitude of new men, whose names are in eveti* one's mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the particulars. Great battle s have been fought and important sieges maintained, ot which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in permanent and aunthentic history. . In preparing the present edition for ihe press it has accordingly been the aim’ of the editors to bring down the information to tie latest possible dates. and to farnich an accurate account of the. most recent discoveries 1n gcience, of every fresh production in literature, and.of the newest inven« tionsin the r?mc‘icul arts, as well as to give a snccinet and original record of the progress of political and historical events : £st The work has been begun after long: and careful preliminary labor, and with the most ample rekgurces for carryingit on to a suecedsful termination. . ; ;

None of the original stereotype plates havebeen used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact & new Cyclopedia with the same plan and compass as ils predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditnre, and with ruch improvements in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience aud enlargfd knowledge. iy The illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of Plctoriat effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of explanations in the text.
