?F|QCBEP WITH THY KLBP*IANT.?* In Columbia county, Ohio, resides an old ^ fgllow renowned for hisbelligerent cfcsposi- 0f tion, who is generally known as Friend qU Shavey. Born and reared as a Quaker, he was long since read out of meeting on ac- cli count of his quarrelsome propensities, but du he still pertinaciously clings to the plain th< i -a- j a?1_~ v;? j?. ClOtUCb tlUU tUC UlOUl XOtigua^u vi 010 v?i- mj. lier days, possibly as a protection against pa tho wrath which he is continually provok- ab ing by his overbearing and irritating de- tre meanor. He is always the owner of the tei crossest dog in the neighborhood, the most th( troublesome, breachery steers, &c., and is jn continually in hot water with some of his ha: neighbors in consequence of the depreda- 8oi tions committed by his unruly live stock. A few weeks since Van Amburgh's Menag- gr, erie, traveling through Columbiana, was o- ra] bliged to pass bis residence. A little be- p0 fore daylight, Nash, the keeper of the Ele- su< phant Tippo Saib, as he was passing qver Cof the road with his elephant, discovered this an, pseudo-Quaker seated up on a fence by the ing road-side, watching a bull which he had turned out upon the road, and which was tjj( pawing, bellowing and throwing up a tremendous dust generally. In fact, from the cr( fury of the animal's demonstrations one i would readily have taken him for one of frQ t.hA identical breed that butted the locomo- \ff tive off a bridge. "Take that bull out of the way !" cried Nash, as he approached. "Prooeed with thy elephant," was thereply. ex "If you don't take that bull away he will get hurt," continued Nash, approaching, [je while the bull redoubled his belligerent dem- -m( onstrations. yr "Don't trouble thyself about the bull, we but proceed on with thy elephant," retort- jCQ ed Friend Shavey, rubbing his hands with c0( delight at the prospect ot an approacmng Qrj scrimmage, the old fellow having great confidence in the invincibility of his bull, which ?0] was really the terror of the whole country t around. Tippo Saib came on with his uncouth, shambling gait; the bull lowered his fQC head and made a charge directly upon the elephant. Old Tippo without even paus- wa mg in his march gave his cow-catcher a< a ^ sweep, catching the bull on the side, crushing in his ribs with his enormous tusks and fn then raised him about 30 feet in the air, Q the bull striking upon his head as he came [je down, breaking his neck and killing him in- wo stantly. "I'm afraid your bull has bent his neck ?r a little," shouted Nash, as he passed on. ^ "Bent the devil," cried old Shavey, with a troubled look at his defunct bull; "thy i elephant is too hefty for my beast, but thee will not make so much out of the operation gC) as thee suppose.s I was going to take my er( family to thy show, I'll see thee and thy at show blowed to blazes before I go one step; jn and now thee may proceed with thy ele- jn phant and be d?d?please," the "please" q( being added as Shavey took a second look at the proportions of the stalwart elephant keeper. ^ c0 ORIGIN OF THEVHITE MAN. Ca In these days of 4Ariel,' and 'Malibran,' t0 'Nachash,' Nott, Agassiz, Helper, 'Nojoque' ^ and all other dissertations on the origin ot the negro, it may not be uninteresting to hear something of the origin of 'the white trash." A negro preacher thus lucidly set- re{ ties 'de questionha Thus discourseth a correspondent.

The driver called at the store, and al handing the memorandum to the clerk, said : th "There are a couple of books which Deacon th B. wishes you to send him." The clerk, it after a careful examination of the paper, was unable to make "head or tale" of it, handed it over to the book-keeper, who was supposed to know something of letters; but ci to him it was also "Greek." The proprie- n< ?no filler! ?.Tid bp also cave un in des lv VV/i TT??W O -r t -J pair ; and it was finally concluded best to er send the memorandum back to the deacon, th It was supposed that he had sent the wrong is paper. be As the coach arrived at the village inn, the wi driver saw the deacon standing on the steps, ba "WpII. driver." said he. "did vou eet mv dc books to-day ?" T1 "Books ! No ! and a good reason why! pi for there couldn't a man in Worcester read w your old hen-track." to "Couldn't read 'ritin' ? Let me see the h< paper." ^ tb The driver drew it from his pocket and di passed it to the deacon, who, taking out and w adjusting his glasses, held the memorandum pi at arm's length, and exclaimed as he did so, in a very satisfied tone: "Why, it's as plain as the nose on your ai face. *T-o S-a-m B-u-x?two psalm books !' la I guess his clerk8 had better go to school a uj quarter." v< And here the deacon made some reflec- it tion upon the "ignorance of the times," and hi the want of attention to books by the "ri- bi sing generation," which wouid have been sc all very well if said by some one else. is ^tiruWtttal gfjrartwent. - DRYING 8WEKT POTATOES. Several months ago Rev. C. K. Marshal, Mississippi, published the following iniry on this subject: Cannot sweet potatoes, which our soil and mate are so wonderfully adapted to proce, be cut up into slices, and so dried that iy might be made an article of merchanle ? Fruits and vegetables have been prered for shipment, and thus became valule crops. If sweet potatoes can be so .ated as to preserve the saccharine mat . and become an article of food, even >ugh not so agreeable as the undried root its best condition, they would pay as ndsomely as any product of the Southern Bear in mind that where these esculents 3W in the greatest abundance, it is genely remote from transportation, the soil or and the people generally poor. In ;h districts the potato is raised at a small ?t, and when dried may produce a good d valuable article of food, capable of be[ transported to any part of the world. If this can be successfully accomplished, } sweet potato crop of the South might ?ome as valuable as one-half of her cotton >p was formerly. The Maryland Farmer contains a reply m Mr. Francis H. Smith, of Baltimore, L, the inventor of a machine for drying lit, &c., called the "Drying Tunnel."? 5 says: "I have, upon your suggestion, tried the periment with sweet potatoes, and with rfect success. They are peeled by a Iitmachine, and sliced three-eighths of an :h thick by another with great rapidity, hen dried, they have lost two-thirds their ight; are white, and so flinty that the ite makes but little impression ; out wueu )ked, steaming is best, they resume their ginal appearance, and are in every reset equal to the undried root 'in its best edition.' It has merely parted with waThe operation is attended with but tie expense, and why may it not become >d for the minion !" The dry house, in which this experiment 8 tried, consisted merely of a room with urnace in it, the heated air from which pidly absorbed the moisture from the lits or vegetables to be dried. We supse that the ingenuity of many of our rears will be sufficient to construct a frame >rk containing drawers or boxes with on slat bottoms, in which sweet potatoes, fruits for winter and spring use can be ied, over an ordinary stove. THE DROOPING EARS OF ANIMALS. Our domesticated quadrupeds are all de jnded, as far as known, from those having ect ears; few kinds can be named, of which least one race has not drooping ears. Cats China, horses in parts of Russia, sheep Italy and elsewhere, the guinea pig in jrmany, goats and cattle in India, rabbits gs, dogs, in all civilized countries, have pendent ears. With wild animals, which nstantly use their ears like funnels, to tch every passing sound, and especially ascertain the direction whence it comes, ere is not, as Mr. Blythe has remarked, v SDecies with drooping ears except the I sphant. Hence the incapacity to erect e ears is certainly, in some manner, the suit of domestication, and this incapacity s been attributed by various authors, to suse, for animals protected by man are not mpelled habitually to use their ears. Colonel Hamilton Smith states that in cient effigies of the dogs, "with the exption of the Egyptian instance, no sculpre of the early grecian era produces repsentations of hounds with completely ooping ears; those with them half penlous are missing in the most ancient, and is character increases by degrees, in the >rks of the Roman period." Godron has] so remarked that "the pigs of the ancient ;yptians had not their ears enlarged and ndent." But it is remarkable that the ooping ears, though probably the effect disuse, is not accompanied by any deease in size; on the contrary when we reember that animals so different as fancy bbits, certain Indian breeds of the goat, ir petted spaniels, bloodhounds, and other gs, have enormously elongated ears, it * * v ? 11 j )uid appear as it disuse actually caused an crease in lengtk. With rabbits, the droopg of the much elongated ears, has affected en the structure of the skull. Dr. Darwin. To Clean Stoves.?A writer in an Enish magazine proposes, instead of blackiding stoves and grates, that they should painted with water glass (silicate of poth,) colored with pigment to harmonize th the coloring of the apartment. Bore this is applied, the iron must be thorghly cleansed from grease, and all rust ots must be rubbed off with a scratch ush. Two or three coats of the paint ay then be put on and allowed to dry, afr which the fire may be lighted without ar of injury to the color, which may, in:ed, be exposed to a red heat with impuni. Grease or milk spilt over the paint ,s no effect upon it, and it may be kept ?an by washing with soap and water.? utch ovens and other similar utensils may so be coated with the same material, and e labor spent in polishing them may be us saved. A good coating of this paint, is said, will last a year or two. KEEPING CABBAGES. Cabbages in the Spring are a great scarty, yet there is no reason that they should )t be as plentiful then as in the Fall. Ona little care is necessary. We have genally kept them fresh and crisp through e Winter, and the plan we have adopted this: We dug a trench out of doors, a>ut three feet deep, and boxed it all around ith loose boards. In this we put the cabiges, standing them on end with the roots >wnwards, not allowing the heads to touch, he whole was then covered with boards, acing them close enough to keep out the et; the earth was then heaped upon the p, forming a mound of about two feet in light. In this state the cabbage kept all irough the Winter in most excellent contion. No frost reached them and they ere as fresh in the Spring as when first it away.?Frederickton Farmer. Fodder.?This has cost money to raise id should be carefully used. Feed regurly, and only so much as an animal eats p clean. There is waste in irregular or oir feeding. If you fodder in the yard, let be under a shed, with racks to put the ly in. Stock should be brought to the irn and foddered there. It is wasteful to tatter hay upon the ground. Much of it trampled and lost. UjMtttSMi* JMiriw. PANAMA HATS. * HOW AND WHERE THE BEST ARB MADS. ' Those who purchase for nine dollars, in New York, the inferior hat of New Grenada and Maracaibo, which cost twelve dollars' in gold the dozen (and which could not be sold in Brazil at any price), are not aware that the hats worn by Brazilian gentlemen, the wealthy and even the middle classes of the Spanish Main and the West Indies, and by the aristocratic and rich Frenchmen, coat originally from one hundred dollars to six hundred dollars per dozen in the country where they are made. Six hundred dollars in gold for twelve hats, however, is not the extreme price, for there are hats which cost, in the valleys of the Andes, eighty dollars in gold each. Such hats last a man a life-time, while the '"Panamas" which are usually sold at New York, are worn out in one season?or three at the utmost. Well, ascend the Amazon with me two thousand miles to Tabatinga, on the Bra zilian frontier. We have gone through the nlnviaa of tVio trnn?f?fl nn thft "kinp of Wa glV/tiVU V* VUV * V|/>VM ? ters," which, up to this point, varies from seven to two miles in width; and has a fall of only one inch to the mile; and now we transfer ourselves to the Peruvian steamer, which was built by the Penns in London, and is a sea steamer, and ascend the Upper Amazon, and reach the great river Huallaga, up which we steam three hundreed miles further, until we are at Yurimaguas, where we are in all more than three thousand miles from the Atlantic ocean. Here we are indeed in the sublime wonders of South America, where the lofty Andes, the vast flowing river, and the superb vegetation of the tropics combine to produce on the mind the profoundest impression. From Yurimagua we journey in covered piroques, propelled by Quichua Indian rowers, for nine days. Then we must travel five days more afoot?over mountain paths where no mule or other beasts of burden can go, and across swinging rope and vine bridges?until we reach Moyabama, one of the two centres of the manufacturing and trade of the best "Panama" hats. Moyabama is the capital of that part of Peru known officially as the "Fluvial department of Loreto," which is bounded by the Peruvian depart- J ments of the Amazon and Cerfo de Pasco, on the frontier of Brazil. This immense territory has but fifty-five thousand inhabitonto +on t.hmiRand nf whom are in Mova bama. While they produce for exportation the best tobacco for cigarettes in the world, so amateurs say, dried fish, turtle-egg butter and vanilla (from two to five dollars the pound), by far the greatest staple exports are the hats. There abounds in the forest a small fan-palm tree, which never exceeds ten feet in height. It is called bonbonaxa by the Peruvians, bonbonace by the Brazilians. It is found in the interior of Peru, Equador, New Grenada and Venezuela, usually away from the Pacific slope, and has been cultivated with indifferent success in Brazil. The only place where it flourishes to a great extent on the Pacific coast is in the Equadorian province of Manavi, north of Guayaquil. This is the other centre of the first quality "Panama- hat" trade and manufacture, and the only rival of Moyabamba. The people of white descent and the Indian half-breeds are the makers of the hats in question. At Moyabamba each man has his own house and lands. He cultivates a small quantity of Indian corn, pineapples, mandioca and sweet potatoes for himself and family, and capim or Guinea grass for his mule. No hats are made in anything like that which we would call a "factory," but in each man's house. The straw is thus prepared: The leaves of the bonbonace are carefully gathered, so that the life of the tree is not in jeopardy; then the Indian slits the leaf with a small knife, his eye alone guiding the hand, so that the right size is obtained. You will observe that all Panama hats have straw of rlJffrtvonf aif7oa mn hpmnrp. nriin UIUUVII??IW?> ~ ? r itive than all the appliances brought to bear in the production of the hat. The "straw," as the split leaf is now called, is placed in the dew for three nights in succession, and during the three intervening days in the shade. This curls up the straw and gives it that firm, round appearance alwayB to be noticed in this kind of hat. The straw is now ready for plaiting, which operation is like that of all straw plaiting. The children make the coarser hats, the adults the fine article. The plaiter begins with wellwashed hands, and as he must constantly wet his straw in a pot of the purest fresh water, his work is sure to come forth in the cleanest possible condition. When one, two or more hats are finished, the maker repairs to some store (either German, French or English,) to sell his work. He will never go to sell except at night, when it is easier to deceive as to color, defects, etc. Sometimes a clerk or agent of the Moyabamba stores will go from house to house in the country, and if he can collect a dozen hats, it is considered a good day's work. A hat which sells at the rate of $42 (gold) the dozen, requires one week to make. An eighty-dollar hat requires from four to six months. Reference was made to the makers going to town to soli only at night. They go in numbers, and resort to every subterfuge to get a large price, and to sell a poor article for a superior one. The skill of the buyer is remarkable. lEe knows the half-breed will ask three times as much as the hat is worth. The eye of the purchaser runs over each hat, and, at a glance, can tell whether made by man, woman or child; whether it is uneven, defective, starched up, bad in color, or vice versa. The maker, oftentimes not satisfied with the decision, takes back the hat, passes it to another Indian, who goes out and comes in, as if he had just arrived, and offers the hat as an en' t? i ii . M i tireiy new one. uui me wny purunosei ib so skilful that the best of them can tell three days afterwards if the hat has come under his inspection. After the purchases are made, the hats are assorted according to form, fineness and color. Then comes a new washing in clean water and scrubbing with a brush, and after that, sulphur fumigation finishes the work. The hats are packed as flat as possible in bales of one hundred pounds each, and started on Indians' backs for the water navigation of the Amazon. They are accompanied sometimes by one of the purchasers, though oftener they are sent on commission. Thousands of dozens are sent to Para, whence they are taken to Pernambuco, Bahia and Rio de Janeiro. WHO WEARS THE COSTLIEST HAT IN THE WORLD ? Louis Napoleon has that distinction.

"New York n don't pay," was the remark made to us by A one of the largest dealers. a The New Grenada hats, which usually are tJ sold in New York, are the poorest of all. w The Pay ta hats are good only for fair weath- w er?as it never rains in Payta. The Moya- n bamba and Manavi hats are the cheapest, because the most durable. Moyabamba makes only first-quality hats, while Manavi o: produces a class of hats (in addition to the 7 fine ones) which are only used by the poor- ?r er people. Moyabamba annually exports lt down the Amazon one hundred and fifty 7 thousand hats, which brings five hundred thousand dollars in gold to.that small inte- u rior population that has but few wants. Manavi exports to the Pacific States and q over the Isthmus of Panama (to the West t] Indies) two hundred thousand hats, which, Q however, bring no more than the one hun- ^ dred and fifty thousand of Moyabama.? _ Since the Paraguayan war the production ^ and prices in Moyabamba have been as great as ever, but the demand in Brazil has decreased, so that dealers have lost, lately.?Brazilian Letter to New York Evening Pott. ? o "THE GRECIAN BEND." 0 The latest "agony" in the fashionable t world is the "pannier"?which seems to ? have created no little "bustle" among the fashionable young ladies of our usually n Juiet city. The pannier is a new thing, ft t is, we believe, a "rump" invention, gotten up expressly and for no other purpose than to assist ladies in getting their "back p up." We had curiosity enough so examine one of these "infernal machines." It is jj made of linen, and stuffed with moss, cotton or hair, and padded so as to rest easy, fC like a saddle-blanket on a sore-backed ? - " * * ? . Mi horse. It is about It> inches long one way, 0; and about 8 or 18 inches the other, and a< some are thicker than others with two tapes attached to tie them about the body, ^ as you would a saddle on a horse. One of ? these panniers attached to a young lady, b together with tke new style of dress, is ? what gives them the appearance of having ? the "Grecian bend." If there is comfort . in these new-fangled concerns, we "can't j see itbut we suppose, as they are fashionable, that young ladies will "grin and bear it," and subject themselves to all ^ kinds of ludicrous remarks on account of A the "Grecian bend" their bodies will be subj'ected to. ' - f These "panniers" will make some young 0 ladies look rather "forward," in fact, lean ti that way. They will appear as if they had ^ eaten an overdose of green apples and but a termilk, and were suffering from a fearful ? attack of colic, with a slight touch of tooth- c ache and an inkling of dyspepsia. The 41 "Grecian bend," we suppose, will be all the b "go," for awhile, at least, and we hope will y not be carried to such extremes as will j, make our handsome young ladies look as if J they had been to a boarding school for six months, and fed on nothing but dried ap- ; pies and hot water. Ah! young ladies, 1 what next? They said you wore your dresses short To show your pretty feet; * You wore no veils, or bonnets large, u To hide your faces sweet; And now, because J)ame Fashion chose _ A Pannier to you send, " They say you stoop like your grandmas, TAnd call it "Grecian bend." , , t c IMMIGRATION. * In an article on this subject, in the New e York Herald, of Sunday, we find the fol- * lowing: t In several Southern States, as in Ten- b nessee, Georgia and South Carolina, immi- a gration companies have been formed with a a view to procure German farming labor ? from New York. These efforts were but o partially successful so far. The Immigra- J tion Society of Newberry, S. C., have obtained, through the efforts of their Presi- j dent, Rev. T. S. Boin'est, about forty person's, procured for them by Dr. A. Erbe, Superintendent of the Castle Garden Labor Exchange. Under date of the 1st of this i month, the reverend gentleman writes to Dr. Erbe of the result of this experimental 1 step, and is gratified to be able to say that 0 it has been a perfect success. The whole * party, excepting three men who skedaddled r at Charleston, are profitably employed in * Newberry County, are satisfied with their ? condition, and the manner of their treat- l ment, and some have written to Europe ? asking their relatives to come and join S them. Their employers are also exceed- J ingly satisfied with this first experiment, E and the reverend gentleman asks for more J Germans, farm laborers, carpenters, blacksmiths and other mechanics, preferring new immigrants, as those who ran away at * Charleston were worthless chaps, being New York loafers, and passing themselves off as immigrants to obtain a free trip to f the South. Rev. Mr. Boinest complained 1 of another disappointment. Through an- * other reverend gentleman in this city a b company of Germans was sent him, and n when they arrived they turned out to be musicians, half matured students, scapegra- J ces who ran away from their parents in J Germany in quest of adventures and the like, and utterly unfit for the work expec- f ted of them. The Rev. Mr. Boinest asks ^ Dr. Erbe to be more circumspect in his se- tl lection of parties, since the South, in her present impoverished condition, has no use for musicians or other drones. Richland * Dmint.v. S. C.. in which Columbia, the J ~ J 7 - # State capital, is located, has also formed an immigration society, and a Mr. Clarkson r has put himself in communication with Dr. d Erbe for the society for obtaining German t( farm hands and mechanics. So also at Nashville, Memphis and many other parts j of the South similar movements have com- g menced, all preferring German labor. r Riding a Wife on a Ladder.?An af- , fair has just taken place in a Welsh village t which, if the details had not been proved in the police court, there might be some _ difficulty in crediting as a piece of contemporaneous history. A man named Williams, living at Waanfawr, Carnarvonshire, J got tired of his wife, and after living apart ? from her for some time, married again. It j appears that it is the custom to regard the 6 woman, and not the man, as the principal offender in these cases, and according to tile unwritten law of the country her penalty is that she shall be seized by her neigh- ] bors and placed in an upright position upon a ladder (freshly tarred if practicable), with her legs through the holes, and be carried about the village for such a space of 1 time as seems good to her bearers. Wil ams' second- was accordingly seized 110 o'clock at night by a mob, which sur- lTl ounded the house where she had taken re- Ul ige, and being fixed in the ladder in the 'I osition described, she was carried not <91- ?? 7 all over the village, bnt for a distance of ,ty fro miles along the tnrnpiks road, being ^ edelivered at home shortly after midnight, on l policeman watched the proceedings from M' safe distance, and valiantly taking down tai ie names of ten men and two women, hom he recognized in the crowd, they ere subsequently summoned before the t" lagistrates and fined a sovereign each. ^ * # an Never chase your hat when it blows en ff ia a gale of wind; just stand still and ^ ou will see presently half a dozen persons an 1 pursuit of it.
