The recommendation of Goev.

They will locate in Jones County, Ga. There isnothing mean about farm work. There is nothing ungenerous or ungrateful in the stock. There are no such sore and sour thingo to deal with as we moot every dity amtong mean mCn. Defaultors, liars, and thieves, have ito place on the farin. Those miserahle characteos are in towns. The farmer ought to be a good man. He has loss temlp!tation to be a bad maun than any charactor we know of. Ali his work is ennobling. His cemtact is with Nature.

TLe Patriot, a new "D.mocratio or. gun just.,et in operation at Washing toll, says : "But let the policy of the future be that of Diecentralization.

The maj.rity of the members of the House who have arrived here, says the Washington correspondent of the N. Y.

Speaker Blaine and Clerk McPherson also think it_'oikL' - o o .0 r" . . 1' 0 ....t- I- Am iipolitic to re peal it. There is a manifest advan tage in having the legislative body or ganized at all times, and the ecseion will, doubtless, be held. The protec t ionists are generally also. against re p-al. as that would only give addi tional time for combinations to gon trol the organization next December. A new keg, churn, bucket, or other wooden ve.4el will generally commu nicato a disagreeable taste to any. thing that is iut, into it. To prevent this inconvenience, scald the vesfel well with boiling water, letting the water remain in it until cold ; then dissolve some pearl--ash or soda in luke-warm water, adding a little lime to it ; wash the inside of the vessel well with this solution. A fterwar-ds 'scald it well with hot water, andl rinino with cold water beforo you use it. The reason for this is, the ready combination of resinous mutter with alkalies to formz compounds soluble in alcohol.
