of another summer's trial. Wo pre.
pared three barrels of sifted and semi
dried earth for our supply for a fami
ly of eight persons, and this material,
with a barrel of hard-coal ashes, mak.
ing four barrels in all, was found to
be suffiient for four months. The
greater part of it passod through the
closet five times, and when stored
away in the barn this autumn was
not so disagreeable in odor as many
sam ples of guano."
The same paper argues that as soon
as earth closets become generally
known and introduced, and the value
of the material becomes known, it
stands to reason that companies will
be organized who will furnish all the
dry earth and empty the scuttles
without any charge to the family,and
eventually they will pay for the privi
lege. This is certainly an important
subject, whether it is regarded in a
sanitary or pocuniary point of view,
and especially so fur large cities.
How Congress Treats the Negroes.
In another part of the gallery, our
rural friend uctices a crowd of color
ed people all to themselves. He is
surprised at this, for at the head
quarters of no distinction on ae
countof race or color or previous con
dition,he expected to see the races
mixed up in due harmonious mass, as
an example for the wicked Southern
States, ,ie ip, pained to' see colored.
