wac Ourglur of (Ile Period. Pornaps tlio most oxttaoYdioary criminal .of modero Umot?, if wo ox?ept thoso whoso hands. Invo boon stained with blood, o? Who hove otherwise ?ddo? brutality towline,' is one Edson, ft goatleuiau by birth and ejlu cation, Who. noiug omployod b> "erring w?i ?oiii^?n, aejhrt?-W WtiJM traveling ?go'tlt, tOOlC- ?Jvabtago Of his executional Opportunities to acquire a knowledge of tho location and fastenings of bank vaults and tates, and by imparting this knowlcdgo ti) other burglars with whom ho waa iu partner, ship, enabled thom to commit robbories .tnouottog io tho total to millions of dollar's. Tho last and greatest -robbery of this bur glarious firm was that of tho Northampton National Hank in January, 1876, from which alone, our readers will recoll?et, cash, bonds and securities, amounting to a million sod a quarter, wcro stolen, lt is au otu saying that "when rogues full o?t houcst moo get their dues," aud so it happened io this 0180. Edson bec imo angry with two of his confederates, named Soott and Dun lap, because they cheated him out of what . ho considered his fuir sharo of tho spoils, and ho turuod State's evidonoo against thom. They woro arrested, aud they aro bow being tried, and tho testimony of Edson, gi von against his fellow burglars, is a roost extraordinary confession. Passing over tho details ol his p fol rmi nary efforts, Whioh include tho examination and subse quent attorn ps at robbery of no less than ten bunks of tho country, from Nantuokct to Kentucky, tho history of his connection with thc Northampton Dank robbery, is in eubstanco as follows: Aoting ao trusted ?gent for Herring & Co., safo manufacturers of Now York, and being at tho same time partner on an equal footing in a conspiracy with Scott, Dunlap and Conners, to rob any and all bunks which Edsoo's export skill might suggest 08 opcu to burglarious attacks, ho carno to tho Northampton Hank in August, 1875, examined tho now doors whioh ho had plaoed on tho vault in tho Svovious month, found that tho keys worked ard, took them to Now York to bo altorcd, gavu duplicates to his accomplices and re turned tho originals to tho bank ofiiceis. Tho robbery would doubtless havo been committed at about this time, had not tho bank ohaoged its dials aud keys, a proceed ing whioh put a stop to operations for tho timo being. In November Edson came .again, to tho bank, scoured tho Keys under pretence of diing them, tnadb an impression of them in wax which Scott had given to him, and was again prepared for' notion. His crowding feat of audacity was perpe trated upon Mr. Warriner, tho Vico Prosi dont of tho Hank, with whom ho took ten at this timo, lt was, of courso, of great consequence to tho burglars that they should bo obliged to invade as few houses as possible in their attempts to gain a knowlodgo ot thc minimini ions necessary to unlock tho various doors of tho bank, and to narrow down th< possession of these secrets to tho fowes number of persons was one objeot of Edson'i visit. He found that Mr. Whittlcsoy Inn ?ll tho combinations except that to tin inner vault door, whioh was iutiustcd to ? young olerk, and ho thoroforo so strong!; urgod upon Mr. Warriner tho danger likcl; to bo inourrod by intrusting a mero bo Witli'suoh a secret that Mr. Warriner bccaui quito alarmed, and on tho following da told Edson that ho had followed his sugges tion, changed tho combination, and given i to Mr. Whittlcsoy. It can easily bo im sgiuod that Mr. Edsou returned to Nc York io a stato of great mental cxliilaratio at having so. successfully pulled tho woe ovor Mr. Wnrrinor's cyc?. Tho bank wa soon afterward robbed, and Edson, tho sti unsuspected agent aud trusted export, wu on hand again within twouty four hours t examino the work which had boco rondcrc Tfossiblo of accomplishment only throng his own profouud rasoality. Nut only wa his confession, or testimony, by whiohevo name you choose to call it, astounding fu Its audacity nnd minuteness of detail, bu f.ho "circumstantial confirmation'of'its (ruth fulness was siugularly complete. Pcopl sprang up iu ovory direction to provo tba at given times ho was exactly where he ha testified ho was; hotel registers showed hi narnu und those of hisp?is at tho propo time, and th? originals of telegrams wino ho had sworn to scuding and receiving wer produocd. Even his mistakes confirmed hi veraoity; for having uotifiod tho nctiv agents io tho robbery, according to hi testimony, that tho koy to tho vault was largo ono, when in fact it was a small ko< tho testimony of tho cushier verifies tli statement by showing that when ho (tli oashier) offered tho burglars tho roal ko; they would not have it, but tortured hi to roako him give thom a largo koy. C the wholo, tho story of Edson discloses wost extraordinary social anomaly, ar would furnish tho groundwork for a thriltit romance for a writer Uko Wilkin Collin who delights in complicated aod improt oblo plots.-Nexos and Courier. [From tho Washington National Ropublioai Conciliation. delegation of Charleston mcrohoti visited Cincinnati last Mouday. Mr. Tu] ?or, President' of" tho Charleston Chat er of Comuioroo, mado a patriotic epooc in whioh ho oxprossed his grotitudo that SOO of Ohio, now in tho Presidential cha had conferred iocaloulablo benefits upon t South by his wiso policy of conciliate Tho sentiment was warmly and uoanimoui applauded by tho merchants of Cinoinno Tho representative mon of Cincinnati a the representative mon of Charleston th found themselves in perfcot accord upon t Southern polioy of tho Prosidont. Thc hearty manner in whioh tho opec1 ot Mr. Tuppor was approvod by an assctnl of'staid business mon is very significa I ty is' considered in vory bad tasto to inti duce a topic rotating to moro partisan polit into an address dolivcrod to nn aesoml composed of mon bolonging to oppos political partios. Mr. Tuppor, howov very rightly judged that the Prcsidot Southern polioy had ceased to n bo pa question io cooeequonoo of its universal proval by tho pobpto of both PC ct io ns of country. Tho responso whioh his utteran evoked showed that he-had not mistakon temper of tho Northern hooplei Thus on evory hand the signs multi whioh show that tho generous' mdasu ndoptcd by the Prosident to' produoe ui of sentiment and devotion to' the Natu Govern ni ont will be ft RUCOCSS. In oi that the General Government may comm the respoot and love ol' tho people of m part of th? country its powor must be ju i nod beneficially exoroised. Whenovvr it comes to be rcoogoizod io the South as such ! on instrumentality of good SS it was designf'd to bo for ail tbe people, the: people there will not bo behind the North tb their dcvo- , tiou to it. Tho assumption whiohBlaine and Wade make that the South is hostile 'to nations! unity is wholly unfounded. New England once strongly favored secession, b?t nobody bow doubts ber loyalty, lt was tho institu lion of slavery alone which gave tho doc trino of Slato rights suoh strength in the South before tho war. Slavery intronobod itself bobidd that dogmu as a means cf defending thal institution. Now that it is abolished ?ho has no moto Interest io that theory than the North has. On the ooo trory, the General Government, having the power td greatly aid enterprisers calculated to build up the commercial abd rban'ofaotu ring interests ot mo ouum, um ^vpi. lt...? will not bo anxious to limit it in tho exer cise of its logitiinato powers, It is no now phenomenon for communities and parties to change their feen ti men tn with changes of circumstanced. They aro gov erned by tho same laws of thought ah'd self interest whioh control individuals, and it is well koowa bow tho great leaders of thought frequently chango their positions. Tho young lUdioal becomes tho Conservative Statesman of maturer years. Sta ton m eu of the Blaino sobeol, therefore, greutly err when they assn mo that ?boatiSo the people of tho South onoo held oertain views they still hold thom, notwithstanding all thc changes oficoted by time and oircumstanocs. We, therefore, protest against that narrow and uncharitable view of tho sentiments of tho people of tho South whioh charges thom with scorotly entertaining treasonable de signs a?'d hating the nation. Why should thoy not bo taken at ?h.cfr wordy If this is dobo, wo challenge air. Blaine, or any ono clso, to produce any ovidunoo tbut the South is now disloyal. Wo ore glad that tho peoplo aro beginning to understand* each other. Tho Cordial wei como extended by tho inorohauts" of Cincio nati to the Charleston Chamber1 of Com merce, and their hearty approval of the sentiments of Mr. Tupper'a speech will have a very happy effect. Tho people aro tir?d of licet iona I discord, and long for peace, add will promptly gi'vo book scats to tho politicians Who attempt to thwart tho recon ciliation policy of tho President.

To MAKE PHIMK VINEGAR.--A corres pondent of tho Ohio Cultivator vouohos for tbo merit of tho following rooipo for making vinegar: Mix ooo quart of niolassos, tbroo gallons of raiu v?ator,|.ond ono pint of yoast. Let it fcroaont, stand four weeks, aud you will bavo tho best of vinegar. Fou SHAMPOOING.-Dissolvo ooo tea spoonful of b?rax in a cup of bot water';' --. apply tho liquid to tbo soalp until a good lather is produood; thou rinso well with worm wntor, until tho hair fuels ?oft and natural; if desired, a oold water rinso moy bo tukon nt tho lust; wipo the hair dry, and lot it hang loosely about tho shoulder to got tho air through. Eggs intended to "setting," should; according to an English authority, bo stored with tito largo end down bcoauso tho air bubblo does not ?prood somuoh os when tho small end is down-this sproading of thc air bubblo being known to otTcct tho fresh? ness and vitality of tho egg. Eggs storcii with tho Iorgo cud down will keep perfectly, good fur hatching moro than a month, while, tho others cannot bo depended on after two weeks, A O?RR ?OU SMAIIII POX.-"I nm wil* ling to risk my reputation ns a publio man,'.' wroto lidward Hine to tho Liverpool il/to't cutt/, '"if tho wo?8tcnsc of small pox cannot bu cured in threo days, simply by tho uso of cream of tnrtar. Ouo ounce of cream of tartar dissolved in n pint of water, draak at intervals when cold, is a certain, novor'f tailing remedy. It has cured thousands, never leaves a mark, never causes blindness and avoids tedious H?gering." FRUIT.-When fruit docs harm it is because it is eaten at improper times, in improper quantities or beforo it is ripened and Qt for tho human stomach.. A distin guished physician bas said that if his patients would moko a praotioc of eating u couple of good oranges before breakfast, from february to Juuo his practico would bo gone. Tho principal evil is that wo do not cot enough of fruit; that wo injure its liner qualities with sugar; that wo drown thom in cr?ant. Wo need tho medicinal action of tho puro fruit aoids in our system, and their cooling, correctivo iullucuco. PEST WAY TO lion. Enos.-Tho best v?ny to boil eggs is not to boil 'om nt nil. Put thou in a tin dish nnd pour on boiling water; cover tho dish tight and net back where tho waler will merely koop hot; let it stand from ten to fifteen minutes, accord ing to tho size of tho eggs, or to tho pref erence of tho cater for "hard" or "soft." Tho effect is quite different from that pro doced by boiling; both the flavor and toxturo of tho egg being BU superior to any other woy of cooking by moans of hot water that thoso who hove tried it will hardly bo likely to return to tho old way. A Goou CATJSOMINE. - Take four pounds of paris while, put it iu a pail, oovor with cold water, and lot it stand over night; put into a tin kettle a handful of glue and cove**, with cold water; in tho morning set tho glue pu tho stove, add enough warm water to ninko a quart, und stir until dissolved, then add thu puris white, stir v.ell, and pour itt enough warm water to make a pail three qunrlcrs full; then add bluing, a Iii tie st a time, and stir well until it in slightly bluish. Uso a good brush; go over ono piuco on tho wall until thoroughly wet; if your brush dries quickly, add moro wann water, as tho mixturo is too thick. Tho brush must bo kept wet. A GOOD DISINFECTANT.-Ono pound of green coperas, dissolved iu one quart of water and poured down a water olosot, will effectually concentrate nod destroy tho foulest smells. On board ships nnd steam boats, about hotels and other publio places, thora is nothing so nico to purify thc air. Simple green coppcrns, dissolved in nny thing under tho bed, will render a hospital or other place for sick freo from unpleasant smells. In fish markets, slaughter-houses, sinks and whorovcr thero ure offensive gasses, dissolve copperas and sprinkle it about, and in n few days tho smell will pass away. If a oat, rat or mouso dies about, tho house and scuds forth an offensive gas, pince some dissolved copperas in an open vessel neuro tho place where tho nuisance is and it will purify the atmosphere. LIVINO IN THE COUNTRY.-What a blessed tiling il is lo live in tho country/ II ovo you, farmers, over thought of this? llavo you ever realized tho oondition of people in cities, shut un between high walls of bricks and mortar, that cxoludo tho sun. light and puro air of heaven? llavo you nover seen their puny, sickly children, with their palo, livid complexions, while you have thought of your own rural homes, surrounded by groves, fragrant with sweet. Bosnted llowors, and your own bolo, hoarty' children, sporting in tho meadows, climb ing the bill tops, or rusticating in tho v?l loys, where God bas sont puro, rippling streams for tho benefit ot man? If yon have novor thought of these things, now is tho 1 timo to relied on them and thank God that your lot was not oast in a city. TUE PROPRIETOR MUST RB WITH HIS LABORERS-Perhaps thoro is no kind of business that requires tho constant supon? Intcndcnco of tho proprietor moro than' farming. It is n true adage, "ho that by tho plough would thrivo, must either hold himsolf or drive." All farmers know, or should know this is truo. It is not merely' tho sweat of the brow that is required of tho owners of farms, but thoy should flt,udy, "head work" to som'b oxtont, in ordor that their business may bo accomplished in tho leost timo, at tho proper timo, and to tho best.advantage, lt is surprising what a littlo sound "hoad work" will aoopmplish on" a farm. Somo mon will perform moro labor and grow moro produoo with threo hands than ot hors will with four, all o th or things,' bo?ug equal. Wo, therefore, reoommond^'. farmers to look ahead-not behind them and BO manage os always to drive their work j ' instead of boing driven by it; and above nil,'' novor put'off till to-morrow what can just), ns woll bo dono to-day.
