Calendar for Horth and South Carolina, Virginia
and Tennessee.
EXPLANATIONS AND REMARKS.
The calculations in this Almanac, are made in mean Solar, or clock
time. This is the time indicated by a well-regulated watch or clock, and
does not correspond with the Sun, except on four days during the year.
To adapt the calculations of this Almanac to apparent time, use the
minutes in the column marked "Sun Slow," or " Sun Fast;" add them
when fast, subtract them when slow. Thus, January 1st the Sun rises,
as indicated by the Almanac, at 7:11, but a clock kept to Sun time will
be at 7:07, which is the " Sun Slow," subtracted.
The calculations are made for the Latitude and Longitude cf Raleigh,
N. C, but the times, phases, &c, vary only a few minutea for any part
of North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia or Tennessee.
RISINGS AND SETTINGS.
These have been calculated with great accuracy, and are true to the
nearest whole minute.

Southern part of South America; it will be central at Cape Horn.
Sausages.
The proper seasoning is salt, pepper, sage, summer-savory, or thyme;
they should be one-third fat, the remainder lean, finely chopped, and the
seasoning well mixed, and proportioned so that one herb may not pre-dominate
over the others. If skins are used, they cannot be prepared
with too much care; but they are about as well made into cakes; spread
the cakes on a clean, white wood board, and keep them in a dry, cool
place; fry them long and gently.
Beefsteak and ©nf©»*.
Cut the steaks about three-quarters of an inch thick; put a good lump
of dripping or lard into your pan, and when it is hot lay in the steaks
;
turn them frequently, so that they may not burn ; let' them be nicely
browned all over, and when cooked lay them in a hot dish before the fire
meantime have in readiness a plateful of onions, sliced very thin, and
sprinkled with pepper and salt; put them into the pan, and lay a dish
over them to keep in the steam ; turn them about, and let them be cooked
thoroughly. They will require a long time; they should be soft and
brown ; when done, pour them over the steaks and serve up hot.
To Wasli Flannels.
Wash them in warm water, rather above hike-warm, in which the soap
has been boiled or dissolved, and not rub the soap upon the woolen.
Rinse them thoroughly in water rather hotter than that in which they
have been washed ; this removes the soap from the material, instead of
allowing it to remain and get hard, as it does if the last water is not de-cidedly
hotter than the first. This plan will also be found to succeed per-fectly
with fleecy or Berlin wool ; but then we generally wring the diller-ent
articles or skeins by twisting them up in aliuen cloth, so as to avoid
straining the wool, and do not dry them too quickiy. But the important
point is certainly petting them thoroughly free from the soap, which
wouldaotherwise thicken and stiffen in the fine pores of the wool.

Magnificient Literary Fabric.—Webster's Qnarto Diction-ary
has passed through various editions, each an improvement up-on
and an enlargement of the preceding, until it has culminated in
the present magnificent literary and linguistic fabric. The repu-tation
of this work is not confined to America. We find it stated
that in the Alexandre case, tried in the Coui't of Exchequer at
Westminster Hall, under purely English law, no other dictionary,
English or American, was quoted or alluded to than this. The
Lord Chief Baron, in his decision, pronounced " Webster's Dic-tionary
a work of the greatest learning, research, and ability." Be-sides
the numerous illustrations with which the volume is inter-spersed,
there are at the end sixty-seven pages of the most finished
pictorial illustrations, representing almost every conceivable ob-ject
in nature, science, and art. It would be unnecessary, if we
were competent to the task, to subject this work to a critical
analysis. Its reputation is firmly established. It is built upon a
rock, and can bid defiance to any petty storm that the critics can
raise.

The above cut represents the YARRELL DOUBLE TURBINE WATER
WHEEL, patented by P. W. Yarrell, and owned by P. W. Yarrell, and
Mitchell, Allen & Co. It is a first class Water Wheel, and is now in suc-cessful
operation.
The Advantages a/re—
1st. Its great Economy of Water, giving greater Power and Speed from
a given amount of Water.
2d. The discharging being from top and bottom, thereby preventing
pressure on the Ink, and allowing it to run light and steady under high,
as well as low water.
3d. The small amount of machinery, required to attach it to any kind of
Mill, and the ease and economy with which it can be put in.
4th. It is less affected by back water than any other wheel in use, and
can be arranged to run in any climate.
5th. The simplicity of construction, strength and durability. Can be
used with any gate desired.
6th. Our prices are lower than other first class Wheels.

Tlio 3NTortIi Carolinian,
As the friend of good government, will support any and all mea-sures
looking to the preservation of our liberties, and the perpe-tuation
of our free institutions ; and with equal zeal and earnest-ness
will denounee every official act, and oppose every public mea-sure,
not in accord with political honesty and the material and
social well-being of our people.
This is our definition of Democracy, and upon this platform
firmly plants itself, and here it will stand, where it stood forty
odd years ago in other, aud perhaps more worthy hands: Democracy. A strict construction of the Constitution; the Sovereignty of the
People ; the Rights of the States nnimpaired ; the Preservation of
the General Government in its whole Constitutional vigor ; a Faith-ful
and Economical Administration of National and State Affairs,
that Labor may be lightly burdened, and Agriculture, Commerce
and Mechanics encouraged; the Supremcy of the Civil Law over
the Military Authority ; Equal and Exact Justice to all Men, Ex-clusive
privileges to none ; the Sacred Rights of Minorities, and a
Peaceful Acquiescence in the decisions of Majorities; the diffusion
of knowledge, and arraignment of all abuses at the Bar of Public
Reason; Freedom of Religion; Free Speech; Freedom of the
Press ; Freedom of Person, under the protection of the Habeas
Corpus, and speedy trial bv Juries impartially selected.
THE NORTH CAROLINIAN
Will persistently advocate and firmly support the principles of the
National Democratic Party, aa the only party of trueMaterial Pro-gress,
Constitutional Government, Equal Taxation, Public Econ-omy
and General Amnesty ; it will faithfully reflect the truly con-servative
sentiment of the State and Country.

i f Q-J a
Which I wish to remark-
Arid my language is plain
—
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain,
The heathen Chinee is peculiar.
Which the same I would rise to
explain.
Ah Sin was his name;
And I shall not deny
In regard to the same
What that name mighty imply
;
But his smile it was pensive and
childlike,
A3 I freauent remarked to Bill
Nye.
It was August the third,
And quite soft was the skies
;
Which it might be inferred
That Ah Bin was likewise;
Yet he played it that day upon
William
And me in a way I despise.
Which we had a small game,
And Ah Sin took a hand
;
It was Euchre. The same
He did not understand
;
But he smiled as he sat by the table,
With the smile that was childlike
and bland.
Yet the cards they were stocked
In a waytthat I grieve,
And my feelings were shocked
At the Btateof Nye's sleeve
;
Which was stuffed full of aces and
bowers,
And the same with intent to de-ceive.
CHIDES.
But the hands that were played
By that heathen Chinee,
Ancl the points that he made,
Were quite frightful to see
—
Till at last he put down a right
bower,
Which the same Nye had dealt
unto me.
Then I looked up at Nye,
And he gazed upon me
;
And he rose with a sigh,
And said, '
' Can this be ?
We arc ruined by Chinese cheap
labor"
—
And he went for that heathen
Chinee.
In the scene that ensued
I did not take a hand,
But the floor it was strewed
Like the leaves on the strand
With the cards that Ah Sin had
been hiding
In the game " he did not un-derstand."
In his sleeves, which were long,
He had twenfy-four packs
—
Which was coming it strong,
Yet I state but the facts
;
And we found on his nails, which
were taper,
What is frequent in tapers
—
that's wax.
Which is why I remark,
And my language is plain,
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain,
The heathen Chinee is peculiar-
Which the same I am free to
maintain.
