Society will set aside from the money

er for a singlu laborer or family?to es
tablish u fund to seoure faom loss, rcsult
ingTrom failure of the immigraut to em
bark, after his passago has been paid,
otc. This fund is also for tho purpose
of reimbursing any employer who can
satisfactorily show that a laborer has left
him before he could refund the money
prepaid for his traveling expenses.
The contribution for coutiugent ex
penses is not included in this fund.
Any amount of the fund remaining at
the end of the year 1870, will bo return
ed to employer in proportion to what
they have paid.
The contingent expenses and tho con
tribution for the fund agains^ losses,
which tho Society might sustaiu, must
be paid by. tho employer and not be de
ducted from the wages of tho employee.
If the Socioty fails to fill an order, it
'will return tho money advanced, deduct
idg only the postage.
Tho Society has appointed Agents
?only at Charleston, Columbia and New
tery, if, however the ordercr "desires Im
migrants to be forwarded to othor points,

.person must bo communicated to the
subscriber.
Tho Socioty pays tho travelling ex
penses only to stations along the South

Kail lloads und will not responsible for
expenses iuourrce on other Hail Roads.
Upun the arrival of tho immigrant the
?Society will make out a bill of all ex
penses and prescut to tho person order
ing for settlement.
The wages of the immigrants will be
fixed as follows, unless a laborer consents
to a reduction :
FIEL D-L A BO RE RS.
- 1st. Single Lahorkr ? $10.00
monthly, with board, lodging and wash
ing. (jSot required to do his own cook
ing.)
^d. Fa .mi Li is. For a mau $10.00
monthly, for a working woman $5.00
with provisions. Tho employer can
! either have the cooking done, or ho can
give thorn rations nnd allow tho wife
time to oook.
The following rations have been prov
en by last yoar's experience, to bo Huffi
oient: For a man: 6 quarts coru lueql,
4J pounds wheat flour, 3? pounds mout,
A pound coflfeo, 1} quarts molasses a week
and somo milk daily. For a woman : 4
corn meal, 2 (pounds wbeat flour, 2
pounds meut, A pouud coffee, 1 quart
molasses a week, and somo milk daily.
Should tbe employer prcfor giviug tbe
family money with whicb io'procure pro
cure provisions, tho amount fixed upon
is about (5.50 a month for a man, nnd
?4.00 for a wouian, with u small gnrdun,
which must bo worked only in spare
time.
Children, capable of work, must be
paid according to their services: and
tho wages must be arrauged betweeu the
employer and their parents.
MECHANICS.
All persons desiring mechanics must
define what wages nnd conditions they
are willing to enter iuto with employees.
Unless differently expressed in the or
der, all immigrants will consider them
selves engaficd uutil Christmas, 1870.
^ The immigrant, in cases of disagree
ment with his employer, shall always be
allowed to make his uppeal to the Socie
ty, which, if tho Complaint is well found
ed and canuot be adjusted, will proceed
to obtain him another place.
Employers would do well, not to ex
pect expectations by making the immi
grants any promises, about the fulfill
ment of w*iieh there can bo any doubt,
and this avoid ouc great cause of discon
tent.
It is advisable, the Society thinks, to
place the laborer at tho very work be is
to do : und to .see that be does it proper
ly. This would do much towards se
curing a good and fuitbful laborer.
All letters, remittances, etc., must bo
directed to thn auluwriLor; mid -written
in a legible band.'
- AH orders must be j.ivcn before the

How to Oarvr and Help at
Tablk.?It is considered jin accomplish
ment for a lady to know how to carve
well at bcr own table. It is not proper
to stand in carving.?Tbe carving knife
should be sharp and thin.
To carve fowls, (which should always
be laid with tho brest uppermost,) place
tbe fork in tbe breast, and take off tbe
wings and legs without turning tbe fowl;
then cut out tho merry thought, cut slices
fVom the broavt, take out tbe collar bone,
cut off tbe side pieces, and then cut tbe
carcass in two.?Divide the joiuts in the
leg of a turkey.
Iu carving u sirloin, cut thin slices
from the side next to you, (it must be
put on the dish with tbe tenderloin
underneath.) then turn it, and cut from
the tenderloin.?Help tbe guest to both
kinds.
In carving a leg of mutton, or a bam,
begin by cutting across tho middle to tbe
bone. Cut a tongue across, and uot
lengthwise, and help from tbe middle
part.
Carve a fore-quarter of lamb by separat
ing the shoulder from the ribs, and then
divide the ribs.
To carvo a loin of veal, begin at tho
8imtlior cud and sepcrate tbe ribs. Help
each one to a piece of kidney and its fat.
Carve pork and mutton in the same way.
To carvo a fillet of veal, begin at tho
top nnd help to the stuffing with each
slice. In a breast of veal separate tho
breast and brisket, and then cut them
up, asking which part is preferred.
In carving a pig, it is custontury to
divide it nnd take off the hend before it
comes to tho table, ns^ to many persons
tbe bend is revolting. Cut off the limbs
and divide tho ribs.
In carving venison, make n deep in
cision down to tho bone to let out tho
juices, then turn the broad end toward
you, cutting deep, in thin slices.
For a snilddle of venison, cut from the
tail toward tho other end, on euch side,
in thin slices. Wurtu plates arc very
necessary with venison and mutton, and
in winter arc desirable lor all meats.?

Let The Kepublc be Grateful.
One of tho world's hard-workers has
gone to rest,?ono who hud learned in
his country's service to "suffer aud be
strong;" one who had been content to
do hiH duty, albeit fame and wealth?all
the prizes of this world?were not
awarded. Gen. John A. Rawlius,-ChieY
of Staff to our first General, and Secre
tary of War to the General made Presi
dent, has douc more for thin country
than will ever appear from'writtcrV his
tory. The labors of some men aro made
conspicuous without their special seek
ing; their talents cntch the eyes of tho
public at some propitious moment, aud
their fidelity, energy and unselfishness,
keep them in high position. There arc
other men whose abilities and faithfulness
and moral worth are quite as unquestion
ed, to whom Providence seems to nssign
positions wherein these go almost unre
quited. Few who adinirn tho brilliant
record of Gen. Grant know how much
he was indebted for his fame and success
to tho vigilance and executive industry
of his late Chief of Stuff. It was duriug
those weary weeks at Vicksburg?when
tho dreaded night attack was only to bo
averted by incessant watchfulnes, when
exposures to the death-damp were us
little thought of as disturbed dreams?
that the nation's grandest Fourth of
duly was bought by a mortgage on the
life of the General's, Adjutant. No one
read the name of llawlins on the scroll
of that victory, but he whose fame was
thereby established knew the worth of
his own right hand, and nobly recognized
his indebtedness to it.
The only substantial rewards which
have fallen to this man of quiet heroism
arc those which a true heart most values,
those which, can be carried through this
world one into the next without suffering!
dimunitiou or decay. The friendship of
noble souls and the blessed discipline of
self-Bacrificc have been granted him in
largo measure. The great chieftains of
the Uniou are his loversjatho heritage.of*
work fell to turn not as honors full upon
tho ambitious, but as ministrations of
good fall to the hands of the angels. A
wider reputation or a higher offiee could
not have made more peaceful the dying
reflections of Secretary llawlins.
But there was an anxiety, which made
a ripple on that lakemirror of a devoted
life. In a distant town the loving wife,
but n few days since a di-appointcd
mother, shared with him the bitter pros
pect' which lies before a family of child
ren, unprovided for.
"My greatest joy in life is the educa
tion of my buys," said tho dying officer.
Thoso "large-hearted old soldiers who
were standing by their comrade's death
bed, could not help responding, "dive
us your boys. General, we will adopt
them;" but no, country has a higher
claim than even those dear companions
in arms. For us, during years of priva
tion, the departed gave all too freely of
his vital energies; for us the wakeful
night, the harassed day, the faithfulness
in obscurity, the slowly recognized but
never flinching application of varied
talent to duties more various than ordin
ary men ever encounter. We cannot
nllow even personal friendship to pay
the interest?all that is possible to pay
?on oi/r debt of gratitude.
"Many of our citizens have already
signed a document, the figures whereof
affirm that the children of Secretary
llawlins nrc to be adopted l>y their coun
try.

At K?nigsberg, Prussia, during the

A Woman's Kxpkrikspk in Tur
key j*aising.?A lady correspondent
in the Western Rural wholes been very
successful in raising turkew thus details
the plan she pursues. Shesaya: ?
We huve been generally successful iu
our efforts to raise tui-ke\j, usually mit
losing more than twenty ptr cent, of tho
number hatched ; half the losses result
ing from accidents and minks or wcas
bcIb :
I prefer hatching thi eggs under
ohicken hens. I think uite eggs to the
hen sufficient. The nest should be off
tUo ground. Heavy tlflfcuier will kill
the unhatched chick if on the ground.
Tho young turkeys must no| be exposed
to dampness or cold till thej are at least
three weeks old. They mubi. bo kept on
a clean dry floor on rainy or cloudy days
und of mornings till the dey has disap
peared.
A custard, composed of milk, egg and
crumbs or crusts of bread, I havo fouud
the best food. Cheese ourd, or Bour
milk curd can bo added afior they begin
to feather. I would earnestly condemn
oornmeal as fit feed till t turkeys aro
nearly full feathered.
Our turkeys brought one hundred
dollars the past year, aftcrdeducting ex
press nnd commission expanses. We do
not know what the raising of them cost,
but estimate it at fifty dollars.
Chicken hens lay. on an uverngc,
eighty eggs a yoar each, for two years.
They decline after the second year ancl
should not be kept longer for laying pur
poses.
One acre would afford sufficient ran?rc
for 100 hens, and more than that num
ber should not be in one enclosure. A
15 acre lot would rcquiro to be divided
into fifteen enclosures, and would afford
a range for fifteen hundred hens. If
Brahimis are kept tho division fences
need not be more than fouY nnd a half
feet high if one wing is clipped. The
llrahmus would be the b^st fur market
_f\_. l.. i *jifmul^. /?>,.., ?P
two divisions should be kept for breeding
to supply the places of those sent to
market.
It is astonishing, that, at the high
prices eggs and poultry have brought in
the markets for several years past, that
the business has not been sufficiently in
creased by competition to lower the
prices. Yet the prices seem rather to
advance than recede, affording great cu
couragetuont fur large investments in
that line.

Manure.?It may be laid down as
a settled principle that if we would have
good compost manure?we must?1. I'se
good materials to make it of. It has
been well said, "Out of nothing, nothing
can come," and this proverb is as true
of compost manures as of anything else.
2. We must thoroughly pulverize and
mix tho materials. They should be
piled up in order to protect them as
much as possible from the sun and rain.
Tho pile should be occasionally forked
over, by which means it will become
well mixed and finely pulverized. If this
work has been neglected, now is the time
to do it. Seize the first cloudy day and
attend to the compost heap. If this is
done, the manure will be worthy of tbe
name, and will be of use and value.

a Father Forced to Lbt his Son
DltOWN in ORDKR TO save many
Liveh.?An occurrence of an exceed
ingly melancholy character is reported
to have taken place.yesterday afternoon
at the Passaic river bridge of the Newark
and New York Railroad. A little boy
ten years of age, tho son of Mr. Decker,
the bridge tedder, fell overboard. The
draw was open at the time* and a train
of cars being nour at hand, comiug ulong
at a swift rate, the unfortinate man was

Haw Ii us died poor. Radicalism will trll
you it was his own fault, lioncst men
will tell you it was one of his greatest
virtues. "He occupied a position," says
the Chicago Tinte?, "from 18(51 to his
death, in 1809, at oycry portion of .which
he could have made hi.-, services and in
fluence of pecuniary value. No other
man has been situated so as to have

who want to thoroughly appreciate the
nobility of his character, his devotion to
duty, and his wonderful abnegation, not

to accumulate millions, he died poor."
Counterfeits.?Government detec
tive* have; obtained possession of the
lithograph stone from which the five-dol
lar counterfeit greenbacks that have been
extensively circulated iu the South and
South-west were struck. It is estimated
that from this stone alone over $fj00,000
of spurious notes huve been printed.
They huve also obtained possession of
the stone from which the counterfeit
five-dollar bills on the Jcwctt National
Rank, of Newett, Conn., that were so
extensively circulated a few months ago,
were printed. The principals of this
extensive gang of counterfeiters aro now
in custody.
London churches arc nearly deserted
at this sensou. A correspondent of a
religious paper writes that he rcccutly
attended three churches in succession on
Sunday morning. At tho first the con
gregation cousisted of one old woman
and the charity children. At the second
ho was the only worshipper, and there
was no service ; and at the third there
was no clcrumnn to read tho ?ervice to
the handful who?asscniblcd.
RST.IOION that WILL \YBAR.?There
is not much solidity in religion that will
not stand tho test of every day experience.
"Thoro arc a good many pious people,"
anys Douglas Jorrold, "who are as caie
ful of their religion as their heat service
of china, only using it on holiday occas
ions, for fear ?t should get chipped or
flawed in working-day wear." That
species of religion may do for a show,
but there's little substance iu it. It is
too 6nc for use.
