The State Grange of Arkansas has been revived. J. D. Scott, of Texarkana, is Worthy Master. We return thanks to our subscribers who have so kindly sent in copies of the issue of July 1st. We are well supplied now. Every farmer, mechanic, manufacturer “nd stock raiser should take The Southern World. It is the cheapest paper published. Every family should have Tub Southern Wouui upon its center-table. It is speci ally interesting to every member of the household. Intensive farming thoroughly analyzed means nothing more than this: Plant less land and cultivate it more thoroughly and systematically. \ Our brethren of the Press who have volun tarily noticed Ta* Southern World in such generous and kindly terms during the first year of its existence will please accept our thanks. DeKalb county, Ga., has a vigorous county Agricultural Club. It is doing a good work. The account gtven by a member of what Mr, George Webb has accomplished is very sug gestive and pointed. We make ourprofoundest bow to ourread- ere and ask them to show their appreciation of Tu« Southern World by sending in at once one new subscriber each. We ought to start the new year with 60,000 subscribers. Louisville, Ky., is to have an Exposition. We wish it success and will do all we can to help it along. Louisville is a live city, and iia merchants will find The Southxrn World a valuable medium for presenting the merits of their merchandise to the public. The Southern World enters, with this issue, upon Us second volume. The favor with which it has met throughout the South is a gratifying evidence of its appre ciation. Without any special effort its sub scription list has been rapidly increasing, and the commendatory notices of the press everywhere, and appreciative letters from our subscribers, bear testimony to the hold the Southern Wobld has upon the people. As we announced in our first issue that it was “not our purpose to indulge in profuse promises or extravagant claims,” but that we proposed making the Southern Wobld “in every respect worthy of the public sup port, a favorite with the farmer and me chanic and an always welcome visitor to the family,” we reiterate upon entering the sec ond year of its existence. We boldly place the Southern World upon its merits, be lieving that the public, appreciating its mer its, will give it a generous and cordial sup port Col. W. L. Goldsmith informs us that he is satisfied that there is no better advertising medium than The Southern World. He receives more orders as the result of adver tising in it than any other journal. This is the experience of all our advertisers. This Is a suggestive fact to advertisers. We return our grateful acknowledgments to the officers of the Edgecombe Agricultu ral and Mechanical Pair Association fora complimentary ticket to the second annual fair at Tarboro, N. C., and to the officers of the South Carolina Agricultural and Me. chanical Society for a similar favor at Col umbia, S. C. Mr. H. C. Smyth, of Louisville, Ky., has been assigned to duty as Observer in the Sig nal Service. Mr. H.Hall who has been onduty here in that department for the past four years, has been transferred to Pike’s Peak. Mr. Hall was courteous and efficient and very popular. Mr. Smyth comes to us bear ing the same testimonial from Louisville. We had the pleasure of a call lost week from Min Lisctte C. Bernheim, one of the editors of At Home and Abroad, an excellent monthly journal, published in Charlotte, N. C., at $2.00 per annum. She is assisted by her sister, Min Florence E. Bernheim, and father, G. D. Bernheim, D.D. Min Bern heim, while here, won ail hearts by her dig nified mien and graceful bearing, and one was at a Ion to know which to admire most, her cultured mind or queenly form and charming manners. Success to the magazine both at home and abroad. A man fell into a river and when hauled out was advised by his rescuer to be a little more particular in future. A second ad vised him to take a stout drink of whisky to keep a chill off. A third thought he had better hurry home and change his clothes i and a fourth cautioned him to get water out of bis ears. The advice of the bootblack was the best. He said; ” I ain’t got much to say about this ’ere case, but my advice to this 'ere feller is to do more kickin’ with his heels, and less hollerin’ with his mouth, if he ever falls in again.” Those who always cry out “ hard times,” should note the boot black's philosophy. Every day new developments are being made relative to the value of cotton and the cotton plant. One thing is established, and that is, that the better the article the better price it will command. It pays to have the cotton cleaned of all impurities. Even the motes heretofore thrown away as valueless, if cleaned, command a good price for making paper; of practical benefit then is a seed cotton cleaner that removes dust and trash and loosens Up the poddy cotton, making it easier to gin. Col. W. L. Goldsmith offers such a desideratum in Davis’ seed cotton cleaner. It is simple in construction, easily managed and cheap. At the recent North Carolina State fair, it was awarded the medal. It meets a general want, and we are not astonished at the demand for them. The Subtoiler and Democrat, ol Corinth, Miss., pays the followingcompliment to Col. A. Pope: “We learn that Mr. A. Pope, of Lynch- bnrg, Va., now occupies a prominent official position in connection with the Memphis & Charleston, and the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Railroad. He is General Ticket and Passenger Agent, for that division, and will take pleasure in giving all the informa tion in his power to such as may apply to him, or address him on the subject. He isa gentleman of excellent administrative abil- ty, in his calling, and stands high in the cir cle of railroad officials.” We arc pleased to announce that Col. A. Pope will be a contributor to the columns of The Southern World, on the scenery and resources of the South. In our last issue we gave a very interesting article from bis pen on "The South for Immigrants.” A PURPOSE IN LIFE FOB WOHAN. The Phrenological Journal, in discussing the subject of “A Purpose in Life for Woman,” forcibly snys: “The old chi valric nonsense about woman's degradation in being compelled to labor for her own bread is almost forgotten, and we are beginning to regard her with admiration proportioned to the capability she exhibits in the field she has chosen for the employ ment of her powers. Society is in fact be coming more and more convinced of the fact that women differ in mental organiza tion as much as men, and that many Are bet ter fitted for the cuter, active life of the world than for the inner, quiet duties of the home, and any attempt to force upon all the same rule of life would not only be arbitrary and unreasonable, but productive of harm to the community. “The feminine brain is similar in consti tution to the masculine; it has as many parts, as many organs, as many functions, as many faculties. It is therefore, adapted to a varied field of action, and compulsory restric tion to a limited sphere must result in un balance and abnormality. With opportunity for the exercise of all the faculties, with training adapted to the general growth of brain and body, the many shiftless, fickle, helpless women who burden the so-called educated classes, would disappear, and in their place we should find thoughtful, dili gent, useful members of society. In well-to-do circles there Issome remnant of the old notion that girls should not be ex pected to work for their own support, and there it Is we find the largest proportion of women without a purpose; but it will not be ong, we think, before the practical spirit of our era will have swept that notion from its ancient place, and the girls whose advantages for self-culture should be equaled by their opportunities for the exercise of their talents and acquirements, will, like their brothers, demand suitable employment. The ambi tious, enterprising boy finds something to work for, some object that whets his courage and stimulates his diligence; the ambitious, spirited girl equally needs an object—some material, encouraging object—toward which she can work, and impressing her with the noble sentiment of usefulness to the world. ” OUB BOUND TABLE. We miss from onr table the November number of the Art Amateur with its inspiring illustrations. The Daily German Pott, ol Houston, Texas, is a welcome visitor to our table. It is ever fresh and interesting. The Arkamaw Traveller, published at Little Rock, Arkansas, is one of the best humorous papers in the country, Opie C. Read, its editor, knows how to please the popular taste. It is handsomely gotten up, and rich ly worth $2 per annum. Read gets up the paper to be read and it is read by thousands. The American Hiller, published at Chicago, is the largest and best milling paper that comes to our table. It contains a large amount of matter every month, of topics of general interest to the industry. Harley B. Mitchell, its editor, is a gentleman of cul ture and fine judgment. The subscription price is only $1 per annum. Through the courtesy of the Miller we are enabled to give the cut of the South American mill on our first page. The Poultry Review and Stock Journal is an excellent monthly published at Washington City, by Grant Parish, at $1 per annum. Breeders and fanciers will find it useful and entertaining. It is well printed and ably edited. We are indebted to it for the cut of the fan-tail pigeon appearing on the Uth page. Dr. Frank H. Hamilton opens The Popu lar Science Monthly for November with a most valuable article on' the important subject ol "Sewer-Gas.” It is an unsettled and most perplexing problem, physicians and archi tects and sanitary engineers being much at war about it, yet it cannot he neglected be cause of their disagreements. Dr. Hamilton sums up the subject clearly and judicially, and, what is more, indicates the only safe ground to be taken in regard to it The sec ond article, by Professor Du-Bois Reymond, on “The Science of the Present Period,” is a masterly vindication of its influence and its broader tendencies. Dr. Nathan Allen gives the latest form to “The Law ot Human In crease," and draws from it certain practical conclusions of very great importance. “Science in Relation to the Arts," by Dr. Siemens, is the address of the President of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and is especially instructive in its discussion of electric and gas lighting. Dr. Oswald’s second paperon “Physiognomic Curiosities” is in bis best vein, bright, crisp, witty, and full of curious informaiion, as new as it is interesting. The article on "Scientific Farming at Rothamsted,” by Dr. Manly Miles, is a most timely and well-di gested account of the systematic agricultu ral experiments of Lawes and Gilbert, which are of far greater value, both theoretical and practical, than is generally supposed. Dr. Miles’s paper is of capital interest. The orig inal and striking paper of that clear and ex cellent writer, Professor Grant Allen, enti tled “Who was Primitive Man?” appears without abridgment in the November "Monthly." It goes far toward clearing away some tenacious difficulties ofaperplex- ing subject. "Some Curious Vegetable Growths,” by W. H. Larrabee, "The British Lion,” by W. Boyd Dawkins, “Life Among the Battas of Sumatra," by Dr. Schreiber, are also very readable articles. There are a biography and portrait of the French chem ist, Wurts, and the usual mass of miscellan eous information at the close, which is al ways read first in The Popular Scimee Monthly.

An old physician, retired from practice, having had placed in his bands by an East India misionary the formula of a simpls vegetable remedy for the speedy and per manent cure for Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma and all throat and Lung Affections, also a positive and radical cure for Nervous Debility and all Nervous Com plaints, after having tested its wonderful curative powers In thousands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to hta suf fering fellows. Actuated by this motive and a desire to relieve human suffering, I will send free of charge, to all who desire it, this recipe, in German, French or English, with full directions for preparing and using.
