That a wringer should be self-adjusting, durable,

Teat Thumb-Screws and Fastenings cause delay and

That the Putnam Wringer, with or wilhent Cog

That cog-wheel regulators aro not cweiMM (
That the Putnam Wringor baa all the advantages

That ell who have tasted it, pronounce it the best

At the namo of Culo Xlecks, wlmt remin
iscences pass before our incntul vision t Old
rccollcctiutis come crowding upon us, and
we can sco an array of the "solid'' pass be
fore the mind's eyu, in oliapo of suckers after
tho mythical Frank McLaughlin, the vic
tims of croton and julap, for the adminis
tration of which no medical reason existed,
and a long line of thoso who have hern
hitm-bugged generally without nny specific,
regard to tho particular species of sell.
Cale tbb the prince of dry jokers; lie lived,
moverl,(ond hud his being through a diurnal
succession of sells; inilcej.1, his lil'o was one
threat sell composed of it conglomeration of
t'Vj intinitesimul sells offlfty jtwra duration.
Nnw Dixby, Nathitn Dixby, was one of
Calo'j truest and sUunchcst business uc
aUB,lHances, although he had never Jieen
introduced the domestic circle made
glad by ti0 portly presence of Mrs. Cole,
whoasj somewhat addicted to jealousy.
The reason for this link of acqtiuintnncc
wns t.mt f,iC lived a secluded life in one
of the litWo villages on Long Island, nnd
Nut Dixby Jived iu tho Label of New York.
Well, one day Cale w as lurd pushed for an
object on whi.;h to inflicts practical joke,
and in his diletaitna selected his friend Nat
as his victim. 10 nianmr in which Nat
was sold I do no choose t purticulntly ue
senbe. Sullico it SaV tint under the play
of Cale's cxhubera.it fa ivy, Nut made a
journey to Albany, SWifted that a htdv
there had sent hiui an atiWiry epistle, which
he produced. The lady Vame Indignant,
called in the aid of her Inland, who liter
ally skinned iMr. Dixby, thereafter re
turned to (Jot hum with, a irgc and l'vcly
flea in his ear. This event happened in the
early springtime, aud on a cleV.- day. About
a wick after Nut's return fnm VAIbanv, he
met Cale. The sell was diiclosct by "Cale
and a hearty laugh wns sad ov-cr Nat's'
mislay, and ut his still bruiasd features, in
which he joined ; but tliose rVcscnt t)ticed
the fact that he did not laugh an itielK be
low tho chin ; indeed it; was generally be-.
lie veil that Nat's mirth was entirely simula
ted. "Now, old fellow," said Cale, "you don't
hold auy malice, do you i"
"Not a bit," -answered Nat, "and in token
of amity, let us take a good smile all
round."
Which thing was done in the usual man
ner. "How did you come to town ?" asked Nut.
"1 drove up in a light wagon," replied
Cale.
"And when will you return home?"
'About six o'clock this evening," replied
Cale.
Nat thereupon plead nu engagement, and
left j but us soon as he was oit of ear-shot
of his joker friend, repaired to Cray's stable,
in Wurivii Ktri..t whi.rt lir liir.'.-l n r,.r
4 horse and a hcht vchielo, -hd wllfc- which
he'started, through a by-street, for the resi
dence of his friend Cale. on Long Island.
On arriving, he left his horse, nnd wagon at
a publie house, and proceeded to the al'oro
said resilience, where lie inquired of the ser-
V it t tl .Mr.- Meeks was it home. On being
anhwered, as he knew ho would be, in the
i.egHtive, bo said :
J Ins is uuiortunate. I wanted to iiav
l.im some money. If I could see Mrs ,Meeks
it would do as well ; she could give me a
receipt in her husband's name."
Mrs. ileeks was Irtigul and industrious.
and ulways attentive to ber husband's inter
ests. As the last remark fell from tho lips
of Nat, aline looking matron culled from
up the stairs to the servant "to show tho
gentleman in the parlor," where she follow
ed in a few minutes. ,Nat bowjd, nnd said:
"I desire to see Mrs,- Mecks, madam."
'Very well," replied she. "I um Jlrs.
Mocks."
"I'ardon me, madam." said Nat. with a
doubting shake of the head; "but this is a
matter oi some importance the payment ot
money; nnd you are not the lady Mr. Meeks
introduced to me as his wife last winter."
"Not tho ladv ? What shrieked she, do
vou mean to tell nie that "
"1 sim'plv tell you, madam," replied Nat,
with icy inipuituibility, "that Mr. Meeks
last winter, in Broadway, near Leonard
Street, introduced mo to a lady whom he
called Mrs. Meeks, nod you nro uot the
ladv."
'Indeed 1" exclaimed Mrs. Meeks. her eves
flashing tire : "how old was she i"
"Well, about twenty-five.''
''Twenty-live 1 And how was sho dress
ed ?"
"She wore her hair in ringlets, had dia
mond car-rings 1"
"Diamond ear-rings !"
"A heavy silk velvet dress, very large
gold bracelets, a magniQceut watch aud
chain."
"W11, go on," she said spitefully.
"Silk velvet li ut trimmer', with magnificent
lace, and a muif ami boa."
"J5oa 1" screeched out the now thoroughly
irate dame : "you'd better bore your way

somebody will have the headache! No, sir,
I am not Mrs. Meeks, aud I want you to

"O, certainly," said Nat, who saw the
tallest kind of storm brewing, and who had
good reason to believe that the sturdy dnme
might launch at his head a conk-bhell or
s:me other heavy ornaments which adorned
the mantel. Nat thereupon beat a hasty re
treat from oil the premises, and placed him
self behind a stone wall, from which he
could command a view of tho Brooklyn
turnpike. I lo did not wait long before, he
saw amiuble Caleb driving down the road,
all uuconscious of the ambush of Nat. The
expression on Caleb's face was ono of great
amiability, and exemplified that ho was at
peace with "all the -world and the rest of
mankind."
In a brief space of time Caleb's horse was
given in charge of a stable-boy, and uncon
scious and happy, he entered his domicil
and shut the door. - Tho moment he entered
an attentive ear might have detected the
sound of a voice in no way mellow or ex
pressive of endearment ; and in an instant
after Caleb hurriedly came through the
door, with amaetneut ou his front aud a
mop in his rear, the soft end of which was
under the direct and personal superinten
dence of a lady who was very red in the
face and very sturdy in arms, and who
strongly resembled Mrs. Meeks. The battle
bad commenced in the passage-way. Caleb's
castor, w hich shone in the rays of the setting
sun as he drove down the road, was now
very much bruised and out ot shape in
deed, it was driven far down over Caleb's
amiable phuiognotnv.
"What in thunder's out?" yelled Caleb.
"Twenty-flve years ld 1" shrieked the
infuriated dauie, and bang Cale caught the
mop over hie shoulders. "Corkscrew ring.

Now fell the blows thick and fast upon
the bruised head, back and face of tho pros
trate joker, while the lady again rehearsed
thccatalogue of the wearing app trcl of the
other Mrs. Mecks, timing the utterance with
a blow upon the prostrate and bleeding
spouse.
But all things must liave an end. Tho
violent exercise of the arms and lungs, in
which Mrs. Meeks had indulged, had some
what exhausted her. Sho rapidly ran through
Nut's imaginary description, and feeling her
strength departing, gathered herself up for
ono grand and final clTbrt. Cale looked
with horror on the upraised mop ; ho heard
tho words :

tone, he heard-a hulling, whizzing sound in
in the air, and tho next instant Caleb's nose
wns as flat as nny other part of his luce.
The mop and his sweet tempered wife re
treated into the mansion aud left him alone
in his gore. Slowly and with the most keen
sensation of pain, he raised himself to a
sitling posture, and with many a groan of
"?on.vi proceeded to inspect his personal
condition.

Now Nat, with the most pleasurable emo

observed the whole of the little family jar
which I have so feebly described, and he
now stood looking over the fence, at the

Mr. 'Warren Lcland, of the New York

to tho Pacific and back, and his journal is

lie gives the following account of a ball in
Halt Lake City -"December 23. In Salt
Lake City attended the annual ball given
by Brighum Young to tho members of the
Assembly and Council, city officials, the
church officers, including the twelve apostles,
bishops, ciders, teachers and brothers, my
self beiug the only Oentile present. About
two hundred couples were present.
The ball went olf elegantly, a fino band
of music, ladies well dressed, and every
thing arranged according- to the highest
scale of the fashionable code regulating
entertainments. The ball-room was spa
cious, and also tho supper-room adjoining.
Prayers were uttered- previous to partaking
the least, which was one creditable to the
gastronomic tastes of those concerned. Tho
cntertaiuments of tho evening were diversi
fied by music upon a grand piano, one of
Brigh.im Young's numerous daughters olli
cittting at the instrument, accompanied by
two of her sisters in vocal music Brigham
Young had twenty-three of bis wi-cs prc
setit, to all of whom he was introduced, and
danced with six ditlercnt ones.
The ladies were all cheerful and happy,
their religious zeal apparently making them
unconscious of the peculiarity of their do
mestic situation. During the evening Brig
ham requested all his wives and daughters,
sons-in-law and sons, with their numerous
wives nnd daughters, to occupy seats at one
long table, in aider, as he remarked, that
Mr. L could eeo what a large and
happy family he had. I looked, bowed and
blushed. Brigham is a hale, hearty, gay
old gentleman, sixty-four years old, and np
pareutly has many years and a long line of

Tho New York TrUiune contains an inter
esting statement in regard to the recent or
der of Oen. Sherman, allotting tha negroes
the coast and islands of South Carolina and
Georgia. It seems that when Mr. Stanton
was in Savanuah, Oeq. Sherman invited to
a conference twenty of the leading men
among the negroes, such aa they selected
to represent them. They gent their most
intelligent men, their class leaders, preach
ers, some of the large-bruined, shrewd, clear
headed men. With this body of represent
ative men, Gen. Sherman, in tho presence
of Mr. Staktox, entered into a full and free
conference regarding their conditiou and
their wishes. They fully expluiued to him
their situation and their desires. They told
him that their principal waut was la-rtl. If
they had the assured possession .f land,
they would support themselves. They were
then asked whether they would prefer to
live by themselves, or with white people.
After consultation, they answered, that, for
the present, they would prefer to be by
themselves. The scheme was therefore ar
ranged in most of its details exactly in ac
cordance with the wishes of the negroes,
and with their practical suggestions.
"flow does it appear," said Sheridan to a
lady ou a late occasion, "that the subject of
Gray's elegy in a country church-yard was a

Judge liu.M), of Baltimore, who has every
facility for judging correctly, in a letter to
the Philadelphia Frcedment lUilhtin says
that tho immediate freedom of eighty-seven
thousand slaves in thaf. State, has produced
no increaso of pauperism or crime, w hich is
appreciable by any criterion by which you
can judge it. He says further:
"In the large slaveholding counties there
was an exchange of masters. Husbands
joined their wives on neighboring farms,
and wives their husdauds and children, nnd
for a while there was a temporary uncertain
ty about agricultural labor; but the Inexora
ble law of supply and demand very soon
regulated tho free colored population as it
does tha white laboring classes. There was
a good deal of brutality among some slave
holders in sporadic rases; men and women
w?re ill-treated and some pf their churches
burned; but the authorities speedily checked
what public indignation would certainly
have terminated in a little while, nnd the
occurrences could in no wise bo attributed
to the emancipation of the slaves but rather
to the depravity of tho population suffering
the effects of slavery."
The colored population of Baltimore nttm
lier 50,000, or one-fifth the population of the
city. Yet in the Almshouse, two months
after the abolition of slavery, the black pnn
pers numbered only 1C7 out of 840 -a little
less than ono-fifth. The jail contains but
two colpred people out of fifty-one, and the
other statistics of crime are equally favora
ble to them.
These are interesting facts, and will relieve
the minds of those fearful folks who were
terrified lest emancipation should be prolific
of pauperism and crime.

The D.iihj. JTeict, laboring to disparage
nnd belittle the recent Confederate disasters
i l South Carolina, says of the Ilcbel chiefs :
"They are uow about to develop the plan
of warfare that has -always been a favorite
with their most sagacious captains. While
the Federal forces, by tho necessity of hold
ing their conquered territory in subjection,
are scattered along the outward circle, the
Confederates, by inland concentration, will
be ablu to mass their armies for the final
struggle. That is tho secret of bloodless
occupation of Charleston by our troops, ami
in a brief while we shall be better able to
determine what the prize has cost us."
We challenge the claim of The A'cits to
speak of the Union armies as "our troops"
or the Union people as ' TUKetc is a
Rebel organ, edited by undisguised parti
sans of the Itebel cause, and conducted u
thoroughly in the Jeff. Davi3 interest as if
it were printed in Richmond and entitled
The Prntine!, It has never ventured to
dill'cr with the Rebel chiefs ou a single
questiou of principle or policy. It did not
condemn even their wanton commencement
of war on the United States by the capture!
of our army iu Texas, by the bombardment
of Fort Sutupter, or by 'the seizure of the
National forts, arsenals, nrmories and navv
yards throughout the South. It has justi
fied their perfidious refusals to exchange
our captured Black soldiers in defiance of
the cartel, and their butcheries of capturml
foes at Fort Hudson, Fort Pillow anil else
where. No single act, assumption, claim or
pretense of the Rebel chief has failed to
secure its advocacy. It sytematically dis-.
courages enlistments in the Union armies,
belittles Union successes, and exaggerates
Rebel triumphs. It maintains to- the right
of Secession, and denies tho rightful power
of the Union to maintain its own existence
by iorce. Yet its Kditor sits in our Con

This simple luxury, owing to ignorance
or carelessness in making, is often anythitig
rather than a luxury. First, be particular
to have an exceedingly clean sauce pan.
Put into it in tho proportions of a small
tcacuptull of water, two ounces of butter,
and a large teaspoonftill of flour. The flour
should be mixed smoothly with the cold
liquid before it is put near" the tire. Htul if
the mixture is allowed to stand an hour be
fore melting, so much tho better; but it
must not be put near the fire until it U
really to be melted. When or.co upon tb
fire, keep it stirred, or move it ly uconmon
ally shaking the sauce-pan ; but nsc the ut
twnst -ajiti ir nr sMsko it sn that the
liquid should always go around in tho
sauce-pan in the same way ; if it sometimes
moves to tho right, and then to the left, it
will bo oiled, and then the best thing to do
is to throw it away. A little cream, or good,
milk, may be used instead of part ot tho
water, and will be found an improvement .
