Sickles described a few'days ago in vivid language; the Iiif?fc?:4imisk3y drinking,as it wa? prnc?ced by the members of Congress ? J la the 3avs ?>efi>re the war,. General S??e* wa> a member of that m em or a bkf-Congr^ss. ; which/was in existence j daring tie last, half of Bachanan-8 lam. It is his belief that the nervous exKtemenk, which excessive tippling pvodoeed in the Congress, had not a _y li^ie? Sect ia precipitating the rebel - H^i?^l^l? * Cottgress >of-whiskey-j dfifkers. They drank whiskey by day agi Bight- Scarcely a committee room wi* without ita dem yoho. Tbe result threain, angry speeches, fights, all by whiskey. 'If the French [Ky/said Sickles, 4were tb drink, one-half - the whiskey confcamtd on any one- day I by that Coa - gr?ss, it would declare war against Gi tm any in twenty min atea." ^"What General Sickles says of this! flftmt Congress is hardly less true of BM icy of the Congresses which preceded ? Io the days of Jackson, Polk, Ker? and Buchanan, the conducL pf the members of Congress was very far % fr?m being up to the standard of pabiic morality which "is common today. EspeciallyJ*a8 thU true in the matter of [r temperance. Drunkenness among pub? lic man was not the degrading vice that it ha? come to be- considered hy' the country in fate years. -Since the close O?-tita nar the opinion of the American people on this subject has become so mach more M riot that no statesman couid hope long to remain io publie life if he were to be gcilty of intemperate factices in pub I tc or. aven suspected or th?ta ic hts private life. The old Whig party and the D?mo? cratie party io the twenty years before ! toe war were full of the wrecks of lead- ! erv whom whiskey had demoralized and | broken down. Webster's potations j were notorious, especially in the closing i s years of his Ii^e. Clay was .addicted to j indulgence. Stephen A. Douglass died j 48 the prime of his life a victim to rum. I It was ia that school that Andrew j Johnson formed the habits which made; ? him sQch a spectacle when he had to j ding to the marble pillars of the capitol j when he was inaugurated as Vice Prtsi- . dent. When the southern fire eaters ! wished to frighten a northern mao they j soaked themselves in rum. Preston ; Brooks, when he assaulted Charles ! Sumner with a bludgeon, had nerved j himself with strong drink. Jefferson ' Davis when in the Senate was one of ; the most notorious patrons of the ! Washington bar rooms. Brilliant men I of both parties, like Richard Yates, of i Illinois; James A. McDougall, of j Oregon ; Geo. Prentice, of Ken- j tucky ; Sargent S. Prentiss, of Louis- j lana; Lawrence M. Keitt, of South j Carolina, and many others, ruined their j intellects and shortened their lives by I habitaal debauchery. The proceedings j of the -Congresses in the ante-bellum j period, show tbat drunken senators and j drunken represeautives were such j familiar objecte that -it was only when j .they got into duels or- pummeled one j soother ta the eapitoi that they attracted j more than ordinary attention/ lae members of Congress in these I days are not all models of sobriety, but I jt?iere'are very few of them that would I 4w*re the ??meri?y to appear in the cap- j drunk. :. W?h the exception- of a ? scamps as Biddle-j JL JL JL J drinking, take care to ^conceal the fact as much as possible frota the public, or at least not to lapse into open inebrie? ty Indeed, the - congressman who drinks, whiskey is now a Joseph -Surface ^rather than, -like his. old time pre? decessors, a swaggering Cassio. He knows very well if he were to indulge his weakness openly or freely, he would fiad a&jm newspapers, "churches and temperance societies holding "him op to ridicule ?Dd contempt. -The public in? deed is DO longer disposed to look upon drunkenness as au eccentricity of genius, that nwi%t be given in ai statesman. "It is? change in every way for the better. ;T5he whiskey drinking congressman cf ? the'lasfc generation did barm not only to' themselves, bot tb thousands of young men to whom they were as examples. But the young man who'goes into public life to-day finds that that it is not.{ necessary .tQ- emulate ? such; examples, Such-'oo??y "po&ici?h?-as K?ddleberger ) are becoming exceptional, but thirty years ago he would have been lost in the capitol among the bullies and fire eaters'who were slaved of the bottle. What Lard is Made of. *r A bill has been introduced in the Senate at-Washington providing for the stamping of ali packages containing any preparations of lard. The testimony given before the Senate Committee on Agriculture .by parties who have exam-, ined "various * preparations of - lard" no W on the. maket has added materially to tije stock of public information on this point. A chemical examination of seve? ral .prominent brands of * family lard' has shown ^them to be variously constitoted. -Que : sample examined seems to have been totally innocent of j any trace of bog lard, and to. have been mada up chiefly of ,beef fat au;* cotton seeft oil. Other brands x>( lard have contained varying percentages of the above articles, with the addition of bog lard and st?arine. One brand in par? ticular coataned 60 per cent, .pure lard, 20 per cent., cotton "seed oil 20 per cent, 's?ear?ue. Aprominent l?.rd manufac? turer testified at the in *ry that seven eighths of the lacd of commerce- was made up of carious portions of the bodies of hogs added to cotton seed oil and stearioe._ Testimony was adduced tend? ing ,kr?iow:fibat the Tard constituted as J above was more popular than the pure | lard itself. An example of this was shown in the case of a manufacturer who was at one time unable to supply the de? mand for the adulterated article, and furnished his customers with pure lard instead. The result of this effort to ( supply the demand *wa3 the receipt of j large numbers of letters complaining of j the bad -quality of pure product thus furnished. Another feature of the in? quiry is the attitude -taken by several leading Southern newspapers, commer? cial exchanges and legislatures, who declare ?hat the bill >is really aimed at and designed to^ injure one of the most important -Southern " industries-the manufacture of cotton seed oil. rc ??-?? i g* Wateii the Woods, . The organization or a company of Northern capitalists to purchase 30*000 acres of timbered land " in a middle Georgia county, shows io. what estima don Georgia land, traversed by rail lines and studded by virgin forest, is held. The rapid-disappearance of pine, oak and hickory,'?11 over the country has turned the eyes of money-makers to hhe wood-lands cf the South. While one p^t^f^iiis^ccaiitrj is? now busily replanting trees, the other is absorbing all the timber strips that are available, j Watch the 'old groves! Some day they will be worth thousands of dol? lars. " TSere are even fortunes waiting for the pine barrens, wheeo the axe and the turpentine drifte are doing a devas? tating work.-Augusta Chronicle. . Remarkable Calf.. Mr. Luther Hankinson of Beech Island is milking a cow with a heifer ! calf>Toine_montbs old. .Noticing that the"calPs bag was unusually large, an attempt was made to milk it. This was j successfully performed, and the calf has been gmiig ..daily ebout .two quarti of; milk?~ from which beautiful yellow butter of'excellent flavor has been made; Mr. .Hankinson ..proposes to pursue this experiment, to see if be can? not develope the ca4f into a perpetual milch* ^W^T^?ken-.Rccorder. : - j ??y Use for Grape Leaves. I >I'Wonder?' says a lady who is in ? td?estexi io-5ousebold matters, *if house--] j wives generally use- ?resh green grape ! leave? to put on top of their pickles to i keepvibem sharp and free from mould, i [ used to cover tbem with a flannel j cloth'and rinse it out every other day. j Two-years ago a friend of mine told me I that grape leaves were much nicer, so 1 I trieH them and shall never try cloth I agaios. -Grape leaves keep pickles the ! best of anything I ever found. J cbange j j th?mjon?re^week; and the vinegar keeps ? sharp and clear, and imparts a nice j flavor t<? the pickles. I rinse the leaves j ir: pure water, and let them druin uuite dry, then lay them over every place in I the jar. They exclude the air perfectly, j and are better and cause less work than j any thing else. ' One of Yance's Yarns Senator Vance, of Noah Carolina, felis of a stuttering friend of bis in j Asheville, a lawyer, who had fur a j client a man that hud been accused . of selling - liquor w-ihtmt. a license. I The prisoner had a decidedly alcohol- ; ic appearance-; ju fact li>* nose might j have done service as a beacon near j Cape Hatteras on the darkest night, j The testimony ivas taken and the case ? -.venI on outil Mr. "V :noe's fiien?! rose ? to rrVakfcJiis plea.

D-does he look a.s if he'd u s-s-sell a p-p pint of liquor to any? body ?" The arsrunYent was irresistible. Tie" nose of the accused outweighed ali other testimony and Senator "Vance"Vj friend trinmphatitEy won his case. -tm- -M Puring the year 18^7 twenty-three '?. fire insurance companies went out of' business, eight of which failed outright, j The ex?3ting " companies have been j startled by the fire record for the first | two months of this year, and .five com? panies have retired from business since its commencement. The chances favor 18S8 proving even more disastrous for j such companies than was the past year, j ?ad itsrecord waspktfim?g enough. ' -lil V V -ra. JL V forage Crops. Tin's is the proper month and the best time to make the first and main plantings of most kinds of annual J forage plants. Let no farmer place sole reliance on corn, fodder and oats, but add one or more of the well tried soiling crops. Millo maize, Kaffir corn, cat-tail, sorghum, col? lards, forage corn (Indian) are each and all good. Asa green ' food that is highly nutricions and productive and generally relished by every ani? mal on the farm, including the genus homo, we speak in praise of the old Georgia collards. We believe if hogs are fed liberally with them throughout ? the season, cholera will be a very;] rare complaint. Among the later im-i] proved hog crops, the particular va rietyr of peanut, known as the 'Span? ish7 peanut, has met with almost uni? versal favor. It is early, productive and very easily cultivated and har? vested. The Southern farmers ought to produce every pound of bacon and lard consumed in the South. They can produce.it at less cost than in the West. Our farmers will never become prosperous until they realize that good farming-true farming necessarily includes the home pro? duction of the staple foods necessary to carrying on a fat m.-JiCianta, Ga.t Southern Cultivator. It is said that Col.- Henderson, of Aiken, Senator Youmans, of Barnwell, and ex-Governor Shepherd, . of Ridge? field, are all after the congressional scalp' of Congressman Tillman. {If they go before the people in a primary elec? tion, says the Orangeburg Times and Democrat, a real monkey and parrot time may be expected. ; mm ' i i am* Those Territories which have been kacckiug at the door of the Union ;for so long a time will have to wait at.least until after the Presidential.election, for neither the Democrats or Republicans will hardly risk the uncertainty of their vote. Colorado was admitted in -1876, and had she not been Tilden's.majority j would have been undisputed. Among the guests at the Ponce de Leon Hotel, at St. Augustioe, is Mrs. Westinghouse, wife of the inventor of the air-breaks, whose income is $5,000 per day. She pays at the Ponae de J Leon ?700 a day board, a?d keeps a pair of horses hired at a livery stable for which she pays ?20 a day whether she uses them or cot. -This lady's actual expenses at St. Augustine are said to be J 1,000 .per day. Senator Wade Hampton, says the New Torok Sun, is one of the few members of the United States who bas a correct idea of speech-making. While Mri Hampton's abillity is acknowledged, he is seldom publicly heard from. Speak? ing on the subject to a friend recently,. Mr. Hampton said that he did not be? lieve ia speech making. He regarded it-as a great waste of time In his opin? ion it had never changed a vote. If Mr. Hampton could inspire a few of his Democratic friends in the Senate with the sentiments that actuate him he would deserve the thanks of the country. Governor Taylor, of Tennessee, re? cently told of a colored clergyman who preached a sermon from the text, *And the multitude came to Him and He healed them of divers diseases.' 'Said he: *My dying congregation, this is a terrible text.' Disease is ia the world. The small pox slays its -hundreds, the cholera its thousands, and the yellow fever its tens of thousands, but, in the language of the text, if you take the divers you are gone. These earthly doctors can cure the small-pox, cholera, and yellow fever, if they get there in time, but nobody but the good Lord can cure tho divers. Buring the sinking of large pits and wells in Nevada, stratas of rock salt were cut through, ;in which were found imbedded perfectly preserved fish, vf hich are.doubtless thousands of years old, as the salt field occupies what was J once tbe bottom of a large lake, and rio1 such fish are now to be found in any of I the modern Nevada lakes. The speci? mens are not petrified but flesh, and all are preserved in perfect form, and after' being soaked in water for two or three days can be cooked and eaten, but ai.e not very palatable. After -being ex? posed to the air for a day or two they become as hard as wood. j Thc murderer.of the :Ghicago,million-' j aire, Snell, turns out "to be Wm. D., Tascott, the son of a highly respectable and-wealthy man. His father .said of his son : 'He has been a wayward lad all his life, and if he is guilty of the crime, the law must take its course. I, shall not attempt to prove an alibi, for I I never koew where he-spect his nights ' j Therein lies the secret of the young man's crime. Ile began bis career with a little beer and .gaming. Then followed disloyalty to his parents. -He began to deceive -them, lie would slip out the back way at night, and lie about it the next day. Then followed whisky and poker.
