Km llccs Lvmo Hat5 Wk ? Ex cluding Alaska, says a Washington cor repondont of tb.3 Cincinnati (Sommrcialy we own ic public hind nearly a billion and a half of acre?- Including Alaska, we own a billion and eight hundred mil lions. Flair a million of acres of this hs6 been surveyed. At the rate we sold and gave away land last year, two hundred years will fea the State, like a profligate heir, run through its wholo possessions. In Florida we still poesess seventeen and n half million of acres ; In Ohio only five hundred acres unappropriated; in Missouri nearly two million acres ; in Alabama rcven million acres ; the same amount in Louisiana ; in California one hundred and hix millions of acres, so that that State really owns only about one-eighth of her self. Very few of the new States have any land claim to State sovereignty. Kansas, for example, belongs more than half to the United Slates, and Mississippi, when bho seceded, as now, owed one eighth of hpr pnl to the United States. A vast portion of country is the p 'operty of nobody, but is the commonwealth of our confederacy, while spotting its surface, like sails at sea, are little tracts and ham lots set a fide in obedience to some inter national law, or by the good ptlicy of beneficence. No MoSfcY I'QU A DoLNDLItlNG liOD. At a parish meeting in one of the towns In the interior of Pennsylvania, where a liew meeting house had just been erected, the question was agitated with respect t j having a lightning rod nut up. Opinions wore freely interchanged, und the project seemed to meet with general favor, until an influential and wealthy old German thus let himself swing, giving utUr i:ue !o a rather novel statement, one not in ac cordance with the generally received opin- j ion of the established laws of Jtature and IVovidence : "Now, gentlemen, I tells you vat I tinks. I links we hash beens to much troobl nnd expensh, and none has gin tollurs more as I to build a church for te J-ord, and next Sunday we gives it to him, and if he will dounder down his own house den I eavs let him dounder away I gives no vote nor tnonish for douudering j rod!" This mult am inparvo speech proved a settler of the question, the enterprise was abandoned, the meeting was adjourned sino die, and tho worthy parishoners har monized beautifully over a glass of larger at the village inn. A I'UAve Iitisit Gmr.. Several women were bathing at Nahant, lately, when one was carried out by the sen beyond her depth, nnu after screaming for assistance, suddenly went down. One of her friends close by, not knowing- the depth of the water, went to try and save Iter, and she, too, as quickly disappeared. A joung woman residing in the family of Dr. Mif tltn, at Nahant, n.med Hridgct Alary O' Toole (her naroe is given, to her praise, in full, for it is worthy of record), at a great ri-ik, instantly swam out to them, and after a hard struggle brought them into shoal water havins her own bathir.2 dress almost torn from her, and being twice drawn under tho water herself Those who witnessed the scene at once reported the facts to the Humauo Society, and the girl is to be presented with a medal for her heroism and humanity. c 1 Soai. Get from a druggist a pint box of concentrated lye for 40 cents. Empty contents into a gallou of boiling water. Let it have ten hours to dissolve. Then empty it into a boiler, add another gallon of water, and when the two gallons boil pour in four pounds of liquid grease, stir ring it well until thoroughly mixed. It it simmer for four or fix hours, and half nn hour before taking it off a gallon of hot water may be addtfd. Two tablespoonfuls of pulverized borax and four of rosin add greatly to its detersive qualities ; but a teacup full of salt must be thrown in. When thought done, dip in a casi ferufr, and if the mass drops clear, ropy and chills quickly, it is soap. Empty into a wash tub having the sides wet, and in a few hours you will have twentyfive pounds of hard white soap ready to be cut for use. Shout Kule rou Mkascrino Grain An exchange says : It is convenient to farmers and cruppers to have an easy and correct rule by which to measure corn in cribs. Here is otic: Having leveled the corn in the crib, measure the length, breadth, nnd depth, and multiply tbetn together, and deduct from the product one fifth ; and you have the number of bushels in the ear. For shelled com take ore Lalf of this. To Le strictly;correct, add half a bui-htl fr every one hundred. Farmers who are fond of cyphering can test the correctness of this rule by taking 1,728 solid inches for a foot, and 2,159 inches in a bushel, and see that the latter is nearly one-fifth larger t'uau the former. Ccue Foit Ix-GnoAvrsG Nails. It is fetated that cautcrizat ion by hot fallow is an immediate cure for in-growing nails. Put a small piece of tailow in a spoon, and heat it over a lamp until it becomes very hot, and drop two or three drops between the nail and granulation. The effect is almost magical. Pain and ten derness are at once relieved, and in a few days the granulations all go, leaving the diseased parts dry, so as to admit of being pared away without any inconvenience The operation causes little if any pain, if ine tallow is properly heated. To Remove a Mote from the Etk. -Take a horse hair and double it, leav ing a loop. If the mote can be seen, lay the loop over if, close the eye, and the mole will come out when the bair is with drawn. If the irritating object cannot be een, raise the lid of the eye aa far as pos sible, and place the loop na far in as you can, close the eye and roll the ball around a few times, then draw out the hair; the substance which causes eo much pain will La sure to come with it.
