HISTORY OF THE
GREAT REBELLION !
'NE late rebellion atands out peculiar and
1 extraordinary in human event.; and the
magnificent scale upon which the war has
rem conducted, constitute it oneuf the grand
er and most brilliant chapters of the world's
iistoi y.
Mr. Headley, of all writers, is perhaps best
qualified to portray the the stupendous feat
ures of the mighty contest. His previous
works on less momentous themes have placed
him in the first position, as a graphsc and pow
qui ddeniator of war scene and characters,
and the magnitude and grandeur of the pres-
PM subject, impart to his pen the fire and vi
vid a yet more exacted inspiration, and fur
oh ample scope for the highest eXhibition of
his peculiar genius for military . description.
Crider hia powerful pen the stirring scenes of
the War pass in review with the vividness sod
distinctness of a present and living reality;
Mile his great talent for condenuation ena
bles him to embody everything of importance
ill a compass just suited to the public want.
From uo other source can so clear and com
prehensive an impression of the grand march
of events be obtained, so easily and agreeably
as from Mr. Headley's work.
Other hiatories have been issued before
Grant's Report and other official documents
were submitted to the government, and there
fore :meltable. hr. Headley has delayed the
aimpletion of this till those deem/irate so a
folio/ to outhenticity and correctness could

SCENE--John Sniith's Country Store—
TIME, Evening—SPEAKERS, Sundry
Villagers, and Farmers who have
" happened in as usual."
Mr. Smith.—Trade is very dull nowa
days; I don't sell half as much as I did
five years ago.
,Mr. Jones.—Good reason. Things
're so high, we can't afford to buy.
You charge such awful prices, Smith.
Mr. Smith.—Can't help it,. I have to
pay so much more. When I sold sugar
at 10 cents a pound, I made a cent a
pound, and I only make a cent now on
20 cents, and this cent prbfit don't go
-ao far io_keep my family.
Mr. Brown.—l boy just an much as
ever. I don't see as there is much
change. I used to sell. my 600 bushels
of wheat for 75 cents a bushel; or $450.
Of this, $250 went for family
_store bills,
and $2OO to iiity off my farm debt. Now,
when I sell for $1.50 perbushel, or $9OO
it takes-about $5OO for store bills, and
tented $4OO to pay off-the debt. In fact
these high prices suit me. I wish Mr,
McCulloch bad kept out of the Treasury
for he threatens to make Greenbacks
par, and knock down prices.
Mr. Price.-1 don't see as it makes
much difference. If there is twice se
much money going, and everybody gets
twice as much for everything he raises,
and pays twice as much for_ everything
he boys, it all comes out square at the
end ; and there is this gain in the opera
tion : those who' save money, or mate a
profit, make double, as neighbor Brown
explains about paying his farm debt.
Mr. Butler.—Thaea so.
Mr. Greene.—So I think.—Mr. Moore.
—So do I. ,
Mr. Baker.—There is a little draw
back. 1 keep the accounts of Widow
Roberts, who has the mortgage on Mr.
Brown's farm, and the $4OO he pays,
don't go only half so far in supporting
her, and educating her children.
Mr. Mavis, (the School Teacher ).
Yes it does, for I only get $3O a month
for teaching Mrs. Robert's and other's
children, and I used to get $25, with
wheat at 75 cents.
Rev. Mr. Corey.—And I only get $6OO
a year, while I always had $5OO with
wheat at 75 cents and sugar 10- cents.
Several froices.—That ain't quite
square. _ ,
Mr. Knox, ( Editor ).—And you only
pay me $2 a year for my newspaper,
which you thought cheap at $1.50, five
years ago, though 1 have , now to pay
three times as much for everything I use
in making a newspaper.
Mr. Greene.—Why- don't you raise
your prices, too ?
Mr. Knoz.—People won't stand it.
I must keep along: Wish no profit, Or .
even - at ' a' hoping for better times,
or else lose my subscribers, and let the
paper go down. Why, when :.I raised
the price from $1.50 to $2 a year; a good
many stopped the paper-:ainotig' thim
Mr. Brown himself, though I paid hint'
double for his wheat.
Mr. Browis.-4 didn't stop it eo mnch
for the price; I wentin - for paying for
My farm by extra econoely.
Mr. Enex.—Yes, he followed my ad
vice for people " to economize , and pay
their debts now." But let ureee - Mr.`
Brown began at the - right place. On
one Saturday I published m my paper
that wheat bad advanced 15 cents a hula

price, and thought he did well. .:Lie
came home boasting about it, until he
met neighbor johrufon, who got the 15
cents advance, because he read my pa
per, and was wide-awake. Mr. Brown's
loss on 60 bushels would pay four-whole
prim' subscription.
Mr. Brown:--Don't say anything more
about that, Mr. Knox, and put me down
a iabscriber for life.
Knox.—l have heard of several other
such losses by those who stopped my
paper. Not to be too personal, as some
of them are here, rwill call them A, B,
C, etc: Mr. A. paid 4 per cent more
fees on $7l taxes, because he did not -
see the collecter's notice in my paper,
and thus lost $2.84, to save $2. Mr. B.
paid $3.60 the same way. Mr. C. failed
to bring in his claim against au estate,
because he did not see in my paper the
legal notice limiting the time. That
cost him $34, to save $2 subscription.
Mr. D. sold 200 pounds of wool at 62
cents, because he did not see an adver
tisement of Mr. Smith, right here at
home, offering 70 cents. That, cost him
$l6, to save $2. Mr. F's. boys went
down to the village every night or two,
to get the news and local gossip, because
they had no paper at home, and one of
them fell into bad company, and is ruin
ed. I know twenty cases where people
lost money for not learning what is going
on. I gather up all that is going on in
business and society, and condense it in
to my columns. It is important for
every man to know all about home mat
ters, and I doubt if there is a man in
this whole town who would not, in- the
course of &leer, get some information,
that would pay him back mere than $2 a
year. Anal then think of a household
sitting dowm.together 365 days in'a year,
and hating nothing to talk about, except
their own affairs, and a few items °Pips
sip, gathered up by occasional contact
`CM other people. •
Taylor.---Let me help Editor Knoxla
argument. Wife read to me an item he
published about a humbug, which he
cofied from the American Agriculturist;
of New York City. Next day one of
these same humbugs came round- with
his article, and was so plausible that he
almost persuaded her into paying him
$3, for his swindling recipe ; but the
editor's - caution kepther back.
A:max.—Yes, and do 'yeti know that
.the fellow sold more- than fifty of the
humbug recipes hereabouts, at $3 a
piece Y but-not to any of my subscribers.
Potts.—Pat me down as .16 subscriber,
Mr. Knox, here -is your two dollars.
Show.--And me too.
Knox.—Thank you, gentlemen. I'll
try to make a better paper than ,ever,
Every dollar helps ; a new sabscr iber
only adds to my expense the co at of pa
per. If everybodyto2k the paper, and
thus divided the cost of getting news,
setting, gine° rent, etc , I. could
double the value of the paper le each.
Please talk the matter over with other
neighbors and see if it cannot , be dpne.
&veral I%oices.—We , will.
Sinith.—And now while you life about
it, I' want to make up a club-for a good `
New York paper.
BroMn.—We can't afford to take so
many papers.
Smith.—Xoe has,jiet seen that you
could not afford to stop year 'home pa,
per:; let ns see if jt will not pay,to join
our club. Mr. Bir t h, you have taken the
American Agriculturist for urinal years.
Does it pay?
ilich.—Pay? Yes, fifty tildes over`:
Why I got two ten-aire fields ready to
OW to 'wheat; and pat one Of thein.
That night my Agriculturist ca me, and I
read a simple recommendation' shout
preparing seed wheat: I called
.:;John
and we put 15 bnalkels snok, for the
nest day. It cost 50 dente for the ma
terials. Well, tinikeecoad field , yielded
5 bushels an acre more than the other—
or 50 bushels extra, and better wheat
too. Pretty good pay' for $1.50 expen
ded fora paper. .And I hive got loth
of other hints almost an profitable. You
know I get better plofiti on my beef
pork andmition, then any other tean
the place. Plow tis does not come
fiom any direct hint, like the wheat but ,
from a good many suggestione that I
have picked - up bireading ^the% Atridur.

that kbave been led into, by' rending in
it what others do, and think, and say.

20 cents extra for seed. My 250 boat
els of potatoes are' all engaged for sead
at $1.50 a bushel, when otherlinds ing
only 50 cernts. That's $250 clear gain,
for the $l4 extra I paid for seed, and
the $1.50 I paid for the Agriculturist.
It was through this paper that I learned
about both the cabbages. and potatoes.
Its editors are careful, intelligent men,
on the constant lookout `;for anything
new that is really good, while the pa
per abounds in cantiois ttgainst the, poor
and unprofitable.
Smith.—What say yon, Mr. Taylor ?
Does it pay to invest. $1.50 in the Agri
culturist ?
Taylor.—Nost certainly. - A hint in
he paper led me to look 'after certain
insects at the proper time, and the re
sult was, I had 160 barrels of splendid
apples, which brought me a clean $5 per
barrel, and this , you know was better by
$l, than the average prices here, or SI6P.
Then I have read so much about _good
and bad times, the method of treating
thein, etc., that I can beat the town in
Tieing grapes profitably. My son. Wil
liam, got a kink in his head., about To
matoes,• from something the Editors
said, and sent for some seed. He made
more money on the crop raised in his
spare hours, than was cleared by half the
farmers in this town.
Smith.—Let's hear from Mr. Crane.
Crane.—l only read in the paper what
waty said about hogs—what kind paid
best, how to feed them, and the like ;
but if you will call around and see my
porkers, and my expense account, I'll
bet a pippin I can Eh:low fifty dollars
more of pork for the same money, than
any other man here. And this•.: comes
from readinurtial, oiher men think and
do. But Wife aught to be here.to speak.
She and. the girls read the Agriculturist
next to the Bible. They think the
bollsericild department Is . worth more
than all the - t e as ion magazines in the
world. They say, it is so fall of good
hints about all kinds of house Work. All
I can say is, that we do have better
bread and-cake ; and wife says the cake
don't cost so much as it used to do.
She has learned from the paper how a
hundred other housekeepers do their
work.
Rev. Corey.—Let me say, also, that
Mrs. Crane and , her daughters have ad
ded a good many beautiful but. cheap
home-made fixtures to their parlor and
sitting-rooms, which pertaioly make their
homes more attractiie. They told me ,
the other day, they got thoee .np from

Pev: Corey.—iii Knell as is my salary,
I would have the paper if it cost 5 a
year; instead of 150. The feet is, it
helps - Out my salary. My little garden
plot at the parsonage lies yielded us al
most all our table - vogetables, besides
many beautiful flowers. The Agricul
;twist has been my constant guide. I
,knew but little of gardening ; but this
* paper is so full of information about the
best-things to plant and sow, when to
plant, and how to cultivate—all told in
so plain and practical a way, by men
who seem .to talk from their own expe
rience, that I knOw list what to do, and
how, to do it well. The high moral tone
of the paper,_its common sense, the-care
it takes of all parts of the Farm, the
Garden, the- Orchard 7 --the„ Household
work, and the, Obibiren as well, with its
hundreds of beautiful and. instructive en

Smith.— The "Geneses Farmer," was
not really stopped. The Publishers of
the Agriculturist invited Mr. Harris to
jein the Farmer to the Agriculturist, and
pat his whole force into the latter paper.
They paid him a large price for his of
fice, and moved it with everything con
nected with it to their office. So the.
Agriculturist is really two papers joined
into one, and of course better. I think
we better go with Mr. Harris to the
Agriculturist, that has been published
for 25 years, and has a hundred thousand
circulation, which, as Mr. Knox has
told ns, supplies the means and facilities
for giving us a great deal more for the
same money. •Mr. Harris carries on hie
large (arm, and in his "Walks and Talks
on the Farm," And other things he
writes for the Agriculturist, he tells us a
great deal about all kinds of farm work.
Duvis.—Put me down for the Agri
culturist.
Smith. —I am glad to do so. I know
yon will like it. The January number,
which has just come to hand, is alone
worth the cost of a year. .See here,

Fetid. Feet.
Some persons can be "smelled" a mile
off, more, or less ; it is a misfortune, and
a source of very great mortification to
the refined and sensitiv. It may ba
"bore" with some with others, if ndt
all, it is thepresult of a diseased condi
tion of the system, or a neglect of per
sonal cleanliness. There is a peculiar
odor emanating from the feet, which is
Perhaps, always the result of uncleanli
ness. If daily washings do not remove
these ciders, a very efficient Wash is found
in red oxide of lead, one part to twenty
nine parts of , the liquor of the sub-acet
ata of lead the first to be bruised in a
porcelain mortar, gradually adding_ the
latter ;Apply a few drape once a week,
oftener in summer.
A spec 6 _ c odor escapes every one,and
is Peculiar to the individual p the dog
knows it, and by it follows bin mister.
through any crowd of human beings, and
never makes a mistake. A man's organ.
of smell is not thus acutely developed ;
Still there , are persons whose peculiar
penetrating odor is readily .recognized.
This does not come - from the "sweat" of
a person, as no such odor issues from
the hands. but from the arm pits and
other parts kept covered by the:clotbing,
so that the air cannot penetrate ; nor is
the application of soap and water too
frequently allowed. When the "sweat"
'remains in contact with the skin, it un
dergoes a chemical change;and it ie this
which disengages the peculiar!,
greeable oddr, as to the feet. p IMAM:dm - -
1y ; thus this chemical formation is a
kind of fetid fat, which is absorbed into
the pores of the leather, and there it is
'detained with fresh ndditions daily, for
weeks and - montbs, with increasing • ran
cidity, as the smell of any old boot or
shoe will deakonstrate. Some persons
wear stockings without changing from
the time thdy. are first put on until they
are worn full of holes. Very many do
not wash their feet oftener than once a
month, only a - few . as often 'is once -a

week. The feet ought to be washed ev
ery night beforo going to bed, and no
stocking, boot or shoe should' biiput on
second time, until it has had a whole
day's sunning, et least by those who have

A VERY PROPER ANSWER.—Gen. Clin
ton B. Fisk, in charge of the Bureau of
Refugees and Abandoned Lands for
Kentncky and Tennessee, has his head
quarters at Nashville. and has much
trouble with the "poor whites," who are
beggarly, mean and impudent. A Nash
ville letter says :—.
"Not long since a woman from the
refugee camp, which the Government
has been supplying with subsistence for
'some time, called on Gen. Fisk for the
purpose of getting transportation or ra
tions, She Wits a fair specimen of the
tobacco-chewing, snuff-taking 'white
trash' ofTennessee. After considerable
conversation of a general character, th(
following occurred :
Refugee.—' Mister Fisk, be yon al
Abolishionist r
General F.—' Indeed, madame, I be
Refugee.—' But you don't believe i
nigger equality, do you ?'
General F.—' I do not think, mademi
that you have occasion for the slightel
Uneasiness on the subject of negro eqias
ity ; for you must certainly learn a grel
deal more, and do a great deal bette
before you can possibly be on an equal
ty 'with a great many of the negroes.'
Our female refugee departed withou
much ceremony, and it is predicted tha,
she will throw her influence in favor of
the conservative candidate at the com
ing Congressional election."
WAS IT A " WATERFALL ?"—ln that
admirable book "The Canoe and Sad
dle," by the lamented Theodore Win
throp, in the description of the manner
of catching salmon by the Klalam Indi
ans up in Puget's Sound, we find the
following : " They don a head-gear like
a.` rat's nest,' coofected of wool, feath
ers, furry tails, ribbon and rags, consid
ered attractive to salmon and highly
magical." This sounds very like a de
scription of the- modern "water-fall."
