“THE GALAXY.”
Wi
existence.
“Tho Galaxy" from the first has occupied a position iu
r periodical literature peculiar to itself, and most suc
cessfully lias it tilled its special held.
It has attracted to itself our most brilliant writers in all
departments. The leading statesmen and greate st gener
als have gladly used its pages to express their views. The
brightest novelists and most brilliant essayists have con
tributed to its pages. It has called forth a class ol writers
who would otherwise have found no place iu our period
ical literature. It has accomplished ibis hy encouraging
the expression of varying opinions by prominent thinkers
In all departments. The Galaxy itself has never had any
has been that for years the public have had
liant purely literary magazine.
Its marked success proves clearly that a high-toned
literary magazine will be generously supported
Tho public press have fully appreciated The Galaxy.
Tho Press, of Philadelphia calls it “a model periodica*!,
a credit to American periodical literature." Tne Journal
of Boston says that “it quite eclipses tho
tive periodicals of the day." Tho New York Times says
that “there is not a dull page between its covers.” Tho
Chicago Times says that “it crowds more downright good
literature between its covers than any other American
magazine. The Buff do Express says that “it is certainly
the best of American magazines. The New Haven Regis
ter pronounces it "about as near perfection as uuything
says that "it well sustains its reputation for vi,
racy writing." Tho Sunday-School Times says “ft is the
richest of many monthlies which have given such an on.
viable name to American magazine literature.” The New
York Graphic says “it is more in accordance with the
Bpirit aud feelings of the American public than any other
magazine published” The New York Independent says
that “it is more varied iu its range than any other.”
Surely the editors and publishers of The Galaxy ought to
feel proud of the success which has attended their efforts
in establishing a first-class independent literary magazine
For the coming year no efforts w ill be spared by either
editor or publisher to make the Galaxy iu every way
worthy of its great reputation. Indeed, they propose, if
is possible, to m«ke it oven surpass itself.
For a raagaziuo edited as Tho Galaxy is, with all the
spirit and freshness of the daily press, and which always
seizes the subjects of greatest interest to the public, it is
nearly ini ossible to anuounce a lixed prcgauime for a
year ahead. Some few of the leading features, however,
may be stated. Tho Galaxy in 1877 expects to give its
renders serial stories by that brilliant writer Justin Mc
Carthy, aud Mrs. Annie Edwards,one of the brightest and
fresh st novelists of our day. Also shorter i. tories by
Henry James, Jr., Itebecea Harding Davis, Mrs. John
Sherwood, Mrs, Lucy II. Hooper, Miss Rose Terry, Mrs.
Jane G. Austin,George Cary Eglcstou, Edgar Fawcett,Nora
Porry, and many others.
7 scries of State papers by Hon. Gideon Welles,
late Secretary of the Navy, called tho “Lincoln Adminis
tration," begun in the January number.
Many of our loading statesmen will, during the y
contribute articles on subjects of greatest public interest
(which can not yet be definitely announced.) Richard
Grant White will conclude his series of articles “On
Reading Shakespeare,” to be followed by articles sug
gested by his recent experience abroad.
Essays on popular subjects may be expected by Charles
Wyllys Elliott, S. G. Young, John Burroughs, Kato Hil
lard, Fannie Roper Feudge, Prof. Boyesen, Dr. Coan, Ur.
Guernsey, Rev. J. S. C. Abbott, It. B. Kimball, Grenville
Murray. Albert Rhodes, uud many others. Poetry by
Bayard Taylor,John G. Saxe,William Winter, Paul Hayne,
G. F. Lathrop, Joaquin Miller, J. W. Deforest,uutl many
others.
The “Departments" which have given the Galaxy such
enviable reputat’on will bo maintained during tin
coming year with all their font or life and vigor. “Diift-
wood," by Philip Quilibet, is always interesting.
Tho “Scientific Miscellany’’ has always been one of tho
most valuable features of ibis magazine. “Current Liter
ature" aud tho “NebuliD" are always interesting.

Ayer’s Pills have been known for
more than a quarter of a century, and have
•btained a world-wide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are bo composed that obstruc

body, bnt also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power

safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they gripe much less

They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in.
all climates, containing neither calomel
■or any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
ana makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.'

REPORTS OF CROPS, BTC. FOR TUB
MONTH OF MAY, 1877.
Department op Agriculture, I
Atlanta, Ua., Juno 15, 1877 j
In consolidating tho reports for this month,
the State has been divided iuto live sootious,
with a view to exhibit more correctly tho condi
tion of tho crops iu each, as influenced by dif
ferent natural features of oliumto nnd elevation,
nnd diverse meteorological conditions.
This division is made, ilrst and mainly, with
reference to geological formations aud elevation
above tho sea level, modified, to sotno extent,
by differences iu latitude, and also by natural
diviaiou lines.
Those diverse conditions have resulted in
giving difl'ereut degroeH of promiuenoo to a
given crop or indnstiy iu tho several sections of
tho State.
It is well known that in tho first section, em
bracing tho counties of North Georgia, tho la
bors of tho farmer are chiefly directed to the
production of corn, wheat, oats, ryo, clover,
and the grasses, and (comparatively) sorghum,
Irish potatoos, aud apples.
Tho second Section, Middle Georgia, pro
duces, chiefly, cotton, corn, wheat-, oats,
peaches, pears, grapes, etc.
The third Section, Southwest Georgia, and
tho fourth Section, East Georgia, arc very simi
lar iu geological formation, aud in products
also, both giving special attention to cotton,
coru, aud oats, aud much less to wheat than iu
Middlo or North Georgia, whilst sugar cane, and
ground peas, aud chufas are important products.
Tho fifth Section, Southeast Georgia, em
braces tho coast or tide-water region, and covors
the greater part of tho area devoted to rice and
Sea Island Cotton, and is considered well
adapted to sheep husbandry, aud unsuited to
the production of wheat aud ryo, and tho fruits
of tho more northerly sections.
Hitherto tho condition of a particular crop iu
a section producing it to a very limited extent,
has had undue influence in arriving at the gen
eral average for the State. This difficulty has
been, to some extent, obviated, and the average
condition in tho several sections is shown sep
arately.
This arrangement still leaves, as a problem
of some difficulty, estimating the averages for
the State at large, when the seasons, and other
contingent circumstauoes, have been different
in the different sections.
This is owing to the want of reliable statistics
of areas aud production in the severol counties.
CORN.
Owing maiuly to the oool, dry weather, the
condition of this crop is reported at from two
to 15 per cent, lower than average, being highest
iu North Georgia, 98, and lowest in Middle
Georgia, 85. The average of all sections is 91;
the average for the State 1st Juue, 1877 was ICG.
S.nce the 1st June good rains have fallen in
mauy parts of the State, aud the prospect pro
portionately improved.
OATS.
Average coudition of fall-sown oats, by sec
tions, was 81—compared to average of the State
1st May, 8G.
Their condition iu North and Middle Georgia
was G2 aud G9 respectively, owing to the fact of
maturing later, and being, therefore, more in
jured by the May drought; aud also to the cir
cumstance of greater injury from winter killing.
In North and Middle Georgia, the preference
is almost evenly balanced between tho winter
graziug and yellow or red rust-proof, as to hard
iness. In the other seetions, the Irwin rust
proof has greatly the preference.
All varieties have escaped rust, the injury
lrom this source being less than two per cent.
Spring-sown bear about the same comparison to
an average crop, being reported at 80.
f WHEAT
Is reported considerably over an average iu
those sections—North and Middlo Georgia—
where it is most grown. The general average
of the sections is 103, but the correct average,
due allowance being made for the circumstances
already alluded to, would be about 107, or seven
per cent, better than an % average crop. Several
reports of comparatively extraordinary yields
have been received. One correspondent iu
Randolph comity, reports yields, respectively,
of 27 and 22 bushels per acre, aud an average
for the county of 15 bushels ! This is a re
markable result in a section of the State that
has never been considered ns adapted to the
production of wheat, and is due chiefly to the
peculiarly favorable condition, as to moisture
and temperature, which prevailed during May,
and indicates the great importance of discover
ing a rust-proof variety which shall make the
crop more iudepeudeut of the3e favorable cir
cumstances.
Of the varieties distributed with the view to
test their rust-proof character, correspondents
generally repoit the Dallas as exempt from
rust; one, however, says “not more so than
others, and ten days later than blue-stem." A
small quantity of a new variety—the Nicaragua
was sent out, and the reports are unanimous
that it is rust-proof. The season, however, has
been very favorable for whrat, and tho test has
not been very severe. The average injury from
rust is reported at four per cent.
cotton.
The stand of cotton in North Georgia is far
below an average, being only 46! A great part
of the crop was planted just at tho beginning
ol tho dry weather. In tho other sections the
stand ; s 93 per cent of an average.
The size of the plant is much below an aver
age, but the fields are 4 free from grass, and the
warm, growiug weather will soon make great
improvements in the prospect. Cut worms have
been very destructive to the young plants, nota
bly in Lowndes nnd Macon counties, necessitat
ing planting over a large part of the crop in
Lowndes.
SUGAR CANE,
Is inferior, both as to stand and size; but it
shows a better average in those sections where
it is most grown.
Where the stand is good, propitious seasons
will easily overcome the drawbacks of the
spring.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Sorghum is a little below the average in stand
and condition. Ground peas and chufas, each
90; and melons 85.
ORCHARDS.
The peach prospect is 111—11 per cent, bet
ter tha • an average. The attention of farmers
is again directed to the importance of providing
means for rapidly drying the surplus fruit.
The reports show that the peaoh crop, iu the
last ten years, has been destroyed by frost, in
North Georgia, five times; in Middle Georgia,
three times; in Southwest Georgia, two to three
times; in East Georgia, five times; and in
Southeast Georgia, three times. The apple and
pear prospeots are inferior in North and Middle
Georgia, where they are chiefly grown, and
good in the three other seotions.
potatoes.
Isish potatoes are a little below an average.
The planting of sweet potatoes has been much
delayed by dry weather. This should not be.
It is a good praotice to keep the ground intend
ed for draws, always mellow, by frequent plow-
ings, and sot the draws, when large enough, with
or without rain—provided there is a moderate
supply of well or branch water to be had. To
plant—open holes with a dibble, or stick, insert
the draw, pour in half pint of water and cover
the wet with dry earth. No pressing is needed.
Farmers, try this plan.
BICE
Is little below an averago in the State at large,
bnt In the Southeastern section, where muoh
the greater part of the crop is produoed, it is
llvo per cent, better.
BTOOK—BHKKP—DOGS.
Tho number ol sheep killed by dogs in the
last twelvo mouths was eight aud a half per
cent, of tho wholo, and destroyed by disoaso
and cold only five per oout.
The value qf the sheep annually destroyed in
Georgia is uot less than $70,000 1—sufficient to
pay tho expenses of a Constitutional Conven
tion, or a twenty-day session of tho Logislaturo.
That amount of money would bo wisely ex
pended if it should result iu tho passage of an
effootual sheep-protcctivo dog-law.
It costs no more to produce a pound qf toool
than a pound qf cotton, and the wool sells for
three times the price of cotton. Agoju, the one
hundred thousand dogs iu Georgia consume and
destroy food, oither already fit for human uso,
or suitable lor feeding to productive animals, an
amount which estimated in bacon, would supply,
perhaps, fifty thousand laboring men! Perhaps
one-fourth, or even one-half, of these dogs are
tnoro or los» valuable aud profitable. The re
mainder aro a curse aud a burden. Certainly
theso considerations merit the caroful attention
of our legislators.
HOGS.
Thero is an increase iu tho pork prospeot,
compared with hint year, of six per cent. CI10I-
ora has prevailed to but limited extent, destroy
ing five per cent, of the stock.
LABOR, SUPPLIES, ETC.
Labor is very generally reported as equal to
tho demand, and more efficient. Supplies good,
aud farmers geneially in better condition than
at any time since the war. On tho wholo, tho
general coudition of tho farming iutorest iu
Georgia is encouraging, and farmers aro gradu
ally, but surely, attaining indepondenoe uud
prosperity. Very respectfully,
Tiiomas P. Janes,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
TIIK MIXTURE OF RATES.
Fair play to tho freed men could not bo
stretched, in principle, much beyond that shown
by the white conservatives iu tho South Caro
lina Assembly the other day. A bill was up
piohibiting the intermarriage of races, under a
severe penalty. The colored members of the
House were against it uuauimously, and the
whites instinctively for it. But the latter, after
some skirmishing, withdrew their support from
tho bill, nnd it tailed by au overwhelming ma
jority. Thero was no mystery about this con
cession. It was made for the sole purpose of
satisfying tho colored section of tho Legis’ature
and clenching it to the conservative side. Per
haps there could be no better illustration of the
wondrous chaugos which time and circum
stances have wrought in South Carolina than
that such au agreement should bo made. Free-
dom lrom prejudice and obliteration of tho
"color line” could no further go. If South
Carolina can stand the cousequences of "misce
genation”— which is forbidden by law iu some
Southern States—it is uot for other communi
ties to object to it. The result of these inter
marriages will uot be seriously perceptible in
the present generation of South Carolinians.
The number of them, it may bo presumed, will
not bo large iu any oue year. The natural
barrier that keeps apart the two races is quite
as high and strong as any that the law could
erect. As tho so-called civil rights bills iu the
North do not incite colored persons to mingle
freely with whites at the hotels and theatres, so
tho legalizing of marriages between the two
colors would not as a matter of course, make
such marriages common anywhere.
The effect upon the complexion of the future
inhabitants of South Carolina will probably be
less striking than the friends of the defeated
bill anticipate. Aud this effect, so fur as there
is any, will be more injurious to the negroes
than to the whites. The negro race takes not
life, but death, from "miscegenation.” The
negro iu his unadulterated state, is long lived,
almost proof against climatic maladies, and
prolific. The mulattoes aro not remarkable for
longevity, are more liable to certain classes of
disease than auy pure colored race, and in no
respect hold their own iu the struggle for exist
ence against either whites or blacks. Tho new
relations of independence and self help, in
which the negro is placed by the abolition of
slavery, have not, on the whole, it is said, been
favorable to tho spread and perpetuity of his
race at the South. The shortest natural process
for wiping the negro off the iace oi this coun
try would probably be to encourage his inter
marriage with tho whites.—N. Y. Journal of
Commerce.
We arc the citizens of a great country—of a
glorious country, not to put too line a point
upon it. We are free aud equal. The prerog
atives of citizenship nnd tho fleetiug emolu
ments of office appertain alike to the just and
the unjust, to the white and the black. Previ
ous condition has lost its previousness, and ser
vitude has shaken itself loose from servility.
The goddess of liberty, seizing tho extremes by
the scruffs of their necks, filters them lovingly
through her gentle fingers until they meet aud
mingle in a manner and by a process startlingly
suggestive of a patent. Therefore, this impro
vised sifter has been found sufficient and satis
factory, but it has failed iu the case of Flipper,
and this fact leads us to hope that the patent
will be amended.
Flipper is an Atlanta youth—the only colored
graduate that West Poiut ever gave to the coun
try. He passed, it is said, a credital^e exami
nation nnd came forth a second lieutenant of
cavalry. This would be well enough if he had
auy cavalry, but the sad fact stares the country
iu the faoe that Flipper is entirely devoid of
cavalry. He has not even one cavalry. As
matters stand, he ought, to all intents and pifr-
poses, be the captain-general of a fleet of rail
road trains.
The truth is, there is a diabolical attempt on
the part of the Radicals to suppress Flipper.
He has never even been bulletined, it is said,
and Blaine, if we remember correctly, advises
him to come home, grow up with the jimson
weeds, and become a leader of his race. This
is playing it rather low down on Flipper. Why
should a second lieutenant oi cavalry lead his
race? Would it not be better to advise him to
oome home and keep up his knowledge of cav
alry tactics by galloping and pranoing around
on a broomstick horse? This would not only
serve to keep his hand in, as the boys say, but
will also amuse the ohildren.—Atlanta Constitu

There is an advertisement in our columns to
which we take much pleasure in referring our
readers, because we believe in it and can con
scientiously and heartily recommend it. We
refer to Hull’s Hair Renewer. We remember
many cases in our midst of old and middle aged
people who formerly wi re grey hair, or whose
looks were thin aud faded, but who now have
presentable head pieces, and with no little pride
announoe to their friends that they haven’t a
grey hair in their heads. It is a pardonable
pride, aud thb world would be better off, if
thero was more of it, for when the aged make
themselves attractive to others they are more
certain to win and retain the esteem and respect
to which a burthen of well spent years entitles
them. Try Hall’s Hair Renewer if age or dis
ease has thinned or whitened your looks and
you will thank us for our advice.—Pan-Handle

T IIE different editions of Thk Sun during the next
year will be the same as during tho year that has
just passed. Tho daily edition will on week days bo a
sheet ot four pages, and on Sundays a sheet of eight
pages, or 56 broad columns; while tho weekly edition
will bo a sheet of eight pages of the same dimensions and
character that are already fumiliar to our friends.
The Sun will tie tho strenuous advocate oi reform ond
retrenchment, and of the substitution of statesmanship,
wisdom and integrity for hollow pretence, imbecility,
and fraud iu tho administration of public afluirs. It will
coutond for the government of tho peoplo by the people
and for the people, as opposed to government by lrauds
iu the ballot-box aud in the counting of votes, eniorced
by military violence. It will endeavor to supply its read
ers—a body now not far lrom a million souls—with tho
most careful, complete, and trustworthy accounts of cur
rent events, and will employ for this purpose a numer
ous and carefully selected staff of reporters and corre
spondents. Its reports from Washington, especially, will
be full, uccurato, and fourloss; and it will doubtless con
tinue to deserve and enjoy the hatred of those who
thrive by plundering the Treasury or by usurping wliat
the law does not give them, while it will endeavor to
merit the confidence of tho public by defending tho
rights of tho people against the encroachments of unjust
ified power.
The price of tho daily Sun will be 55 couts a month or
SO.50 a year, post paid, or with the Sunduy edition
•7.70 a year.
Tho Sunday edition alone, eight pages, Si .20 a year,
post paid.
Tlio Weekly Sun, eight pages of 56 broad columusr
will be furnished during 1877 ut tho rate of $1 a year,
post paid.
Tho benefit of this largo reduction from tho previous
rate for tho Weekly cuu bo enjoyed by individual sub
scribers without the necessity ol making up clubs. At
4 he same time, il any of our friends choose to aid in ex-
■nding our circulation, wc sliull be gratofulto them, and
/cry such person who sends us ten or inoro subscrib-
'8 from one placo will be entitled to one copy of the
paper for himself without charge. At one dollar a year,
postago paid, the expenses ol paper nnd printing are
barely repaid; and, considering tho size of the sheet and
the quality of its contents, we aro confident the peoplo
will consider tho The Weekly Sun tho cheapest news
paper published iu the world, uud wo trust ulso one of
the very best. Address,

SCRIBNER’S MONTHLY.
An Unrivaled Illustrated Magazine.
W hen Scribner issued its famous midsummer holiday
number in July a friendly critic said of it: “Wo
are not sure but that Scribner has touched high-water
mark. Wo do uot see what worlds are Jell it to conquer.”
But the publishers do not consider that they have reached
the ultima thule of excellence—they believe “there are
other worlds to conquer, and they propose to conquer
them. Tho prospectus for tho new volume gives the ti
tles of more than fifty pupers (mostly illustrated), by
writers of the highest merit* Under the head of

A richly illustrated series will bo given on “American
