Belk.of Marion county, has com of the James variety, and had nine limbs extending from tho main stalk very much like limbs from a cotton stalk, and upon each limb there was a full and mature car. When the boarders in a certain Philadelphia boarding house com plain of the batter, the landlady si lences them by pointing to that por tion of the wall on which hangs a card, reading, "To the pure all things are pure.” Among the bequests of Dr. Adiel Sherwood are $250 to the Georgia Baptist Sunday school board, and some books relating to Georgia to Mercer university. To Mercer he also leaves a partial interest in lands in Tennessee and Mississippi. .

It will not only prevent the rust, bat will stay its rav ages and restore the diseased plant to its wonted vigor. Mr. Alfred Carlton, a well known citizen of Colquitt county, was killed byJ. G. T. Barrow, of that county, a few days ago. An altercation oc curred "between the parties, when the latter struck the former three or four blows with a heavy stick, fracturing the skull, of which he subsequently died. _ Gcuerai Toombs sai.l yesterday in reply to a question asked him as to the whereabouts of Alex. Stephens, said: “I don’t know, but I think Alex, must be trying to get married, or be is hanging around Xarragnnset Pier. I have written to him that If he did not come home, I would ad minister ou his estate and take his place in Congress.” The monster steamship Great East ern. whose last appearance in these waters was upon the occasion of her departure with a large number.of passengers for the Paris Exposition in 1867 is hereafter to ply between Texaa and Liverpool as a cattle trans port. Independent of her historical services in the laying of the Atlantic cable, the ship ha. not been a success. The Ohio State Begister remarks that “our patches come in the course of human “knev. events.” Were we to inquire if some of them do not come in the course of human end eavor. would Mr. Eichelbergcr re ply, ‘•Never,"or “hardly ever?’’ A man with a family of small boys is always interested in this particulai branch of political economy.

When cattle chew leather, wood ami old hones, they need phosphate of lime in tlicir food to supply hone material, and a teaspoonful of bone meal in their food daily will correct the habit.

A ruralist seated himself at a res taurant table yesterday, and began opon the bill of fare. After keeping three waiters nearly an hour em ployed bringing dishes to him, he call led one of them to him, heaved iigh and whispered, ns he spread the till of fare before him and pointed with his finger: “Mister, I’ve et to thar, and”—moving bis finger down to the bottom of the page—“cf itain’t agin the rule, I’d like to skip from thar to thar.” “I think the Democratic party will win, provided it is united. It cannot go on fighting .and wasting its strength by internal quarrels. It mnst be strong and united, with hold front, and with a candidate for President whose record it is not nec essary to disown or explain away.- With"such n candidate, for whom there is no need to apologise, wo will win, and not otherwise.”—Thomas A. Hendricks in Xew York Sun In terview. Marion county is pushing her claims to the possession of the biggest eater in this or any other State. The Buena Vista Argus says that this pro ficient in gastronomical gymnastics recently ate at one meal four very Jarge slices of ham, fourteen biscuits, a quart of syrup by actual measure ment, nine cups of coffee, etc. He then went to bis next door neighbor, and being invited to breakfast, ac cepted, and ate two large frying sized chickens, and other things in propor tion. It is reported that a grotesque ge nius some years ago conceived the idea of importing and utilizing os triches for the United States cavalry instead of horses, and actually im ported eighteen of these long-legged birds. These laid numerous eg.pi in the sands of Xew Mexico, and the flock of ostriches now number 117 stalwart members. It is added that Colonel Hatch, of the Xinth regiment of cavalry, is about to mount one of bis companies on-ostriches. They are strong, docile, fleet as a horse, will live for days without eating or drink ing, and need little or no grooming. Perhaps this is enough of the story for such warm weather. Burdette’s Muslicry. ‘Gerald.”—You grieve that your passions aro so strong, do you? All right, mix in a little of your morals, which are weak enough to thin them down. “Littlo Buttercup” writes: “How can I mend a crystal goblet that has ? ot a golc punched through its sido ?” 'ou can’t repair it permanently, but if you stick your thumb in tho hole when you are nsing the goblet it will answer for all practical purposes. <*Mary Ann” says she is “a weary,” and complains that “woman’s work goes on forever." So it does, and wo are glad of it. But that doesn’t affect you. Bless your soul, you don’t go on forever; you don’t have all the work to do, not even whilo you live. Man’s work goes on forever, too, wc hope, but that doesn’t fret us a parti cle. We are not going to stay here and do it all. Bless you, no, wo arc not going to do our own any longer than wo have to. Brace up, Mary Ann, and don’t you fret about the work that “goes on forever.” You’re not going on with your work more than forty or fifty years longer, Mary Ann, and don’t you forget it. “Mrs. Blodsoe” wants to know “which is the quickest way to make ice-cream without a freezer?” Buy it in one of those little pasteboard boxes they sell at the ice-cream fac tories. “Gentle Annie” is in a desponding mood this week. She begins her sad plaint by asking: “Will they forget us when we are gone?” You may bet your sweet life, Gcnjlo Annie, they will. They will forget us so completely they won’t oven bo pos itive where we have gone. “Marguerite” asks if a “woman should marry a man whom she res pects and esteems, but docs not lore, for his money ?” Oh, no, Margue rite, n-no, not exactly that. You should not marry him for his money, unless you can’t absolutely get it any other way. But if you do really “re spect” the man, yon might love his money, and then yon would have all the ingredients for a happy match, anyhow. We wouldn’t advise yon to marry a man for his money alone, nor, on the other hand, Marguerite, wonld we advise yon to marry a man merely for the sake of his poverty; there is neither merit or novelty in that. But you should marry him, even though he is rich as Croesus, be- cause, by tho way, Marguerite, you didn’t say that this rich man had ask ed yon or wanted yon to marry him ? llow is that, by the way? “Baby Mine” says “she is just cry ing her eyes out, because she is not iretty, and she feels lonely and no- >ody loves her, and she longs for ->omo sympathetic heart that can feel for her troubles and drop words of -rmpatby like healing balm into her fovely life—” “Baby Mine,” lin«h it right up; not another line of it; not a whisper. You scare us to death and we havn’t a word of sympathy for you. Wc are a married maii. with a boy old enough, or at least smart enough, to go to college; we are the busy bead of a pleasant, hap- py household, and we are not going to be decoyed off into any sympathet ic streaks, not by all the lonely wo men in America. Dry it up; and the next time you write to this depart- ment, tell us how to make water crimps that will last all night an.i won’t straighten out in one hot after noon. “Lonely,” are you? Then why don’t yon go to the sociable, where you will meet so many other lonely people that you will feel hap py ? “Lonely ?” Great guns, and a new circns billed on the fence every week.—Burlington Hawkeye. An Editor’s Business. GalnesTiUe Eagle.] Some of his townspeople haring crit icised Bro. Sikes, of the South Geor gian, rather severely he dispairingly appcais to his brethren of the press to tell him “what is an editor’s busi- Well, good brother, wc have hardly learned in eight years, but will give you the benefit of what ex perience we have had: An editors business is first to know everything and never be wrong. He must know as much law as a lawyer, as much grammar as a school master, as much theology as a minister, as much poli cy as a politician, and know how to heal wounds like a doctor. He must have a thick hide and learn to receive unmerited abuse without flinching, and be cursed where his motives were of the best. He must learn to bear misrepresentation without murmur ing, to have charity for others fail ings, to be accused of ail manner of unfairness, and to calmly see his labor ;o unrewarded. Ho must learn to ive on air and sleep on a clothes line, to labor for the good of others with out thanks for his pains, and to strive to enoble the races without any one to hold up his hands. Ho must learn to rise above and beyond petty spites, to have patience with poor weak hu manity, in short he muBt learn to be an angel, and wear patched clothes in place of wings, have his ears as sailed with corses instead of being charmed with Heavenly music, ana havo his stomach filled with the husks of life instead of the nectar which re gales the gods. When he lias learned ail this, then he is about fitted to do himself and the world somo good as a newspaper editor. Influence of Marriage. Marriage has a great refining and moralizing tendency. Where a man marries early, and uses prudence in selecting a suitablo companion, he is likely to lead a virtuous, happy life. But in an unmarried state all allur ing vices havo a tendency to draw him away. The penitentiary reports show a large share of drunkards are bachelors. The more marrrlcd men we have the fewor crimes there will be. An unmarried man is but half a perfect being, and it cannot be ex pected that in this imperfect state he can keep straight in the path of recti tude any more than a boat with one oar can keep a straight course. In nine cases out of ten whero married men become drunkards, or where they commit crimes against die peace of the community, the foundation of these was laid while in a single state. Marriage changes the current of a man’s feelings and gives him a centre for his thoughts, his affections and bis acts. Last week, In Schley county, Mr. John Childress, agsd 22, was married to Mrs. Bartlett, aged 67. The Wonderful Career of a Con- . federate Exile. New Orleans Democrat. A few days ago.in an article on the Tchanntcpec route, wo related the In cident of Butler's seizure of the bank box and appropriation tliercol as con- llutlng the wholo property of tho then Secretary of Stato of the then Confederate States. Tho contents consisted of Tehauntcpcc bonds; and tho Confederate Secretary, when informed of Budcr's exultation over his capture, remarked, with a smile, that with die loss of those bonds he would he left without a dollar in the world. This confession was made at n din ner at which a dish of rusty bacon cooked with cow peas and washed down with corn coffee composed the wholo menu. A gentleman over fifty, who had for thirty years enjoyed an income of over $20,000 per annum, was reduced to this condition in two years by his devotion to duty, to principle and to the demands of hon or and patriotism. It was a grand sacrifice, worthy of conspicuous record among the many other similar examples of solf-sacri- fico and sincerity of conviction and duty on tho part of thoso who have been so grossly maligned as interest ed and designing politicians in the lato war. It is a grateful task, sucli as is more often performed by the writers of ro mances and dramas than by sober historians and truthful chroniclers, to add to this record of disaster anil misfortune another chapter in this gcntlcmsn’s career, as refulgent with triumphs and marvelous achieve ments as the preceding one was dark with calamity and disaster. In 1865 the impoverished Secretary of State of tho late Confederacy, after the downfall of the Confederacy and the dispersion of its government, tramped on foot from Central Georgia to Florida and escaped in an open boat to Nassau with a single ten-dollar gold piece in his pocket, which he gave to tlie negro who. rowed the smair boat that so safely carried him beyond the reach of the pursuing foe! In 1879, fourteen years afterward, this fugitive becomes the recognized head of an institntion of all others the most exclusive and difficult in which to attain prominence and suc cess, the bar of England. One grati fying proof of the reality of this ’.chievement is furnished by the faet, which wo learn authentically, that Mr. J. P. Benjamin, Q. C., recently purchased a very elegant residence in Paris, giving therefor three hundred thousand francs cash. It is added that this large sum docs not exceed one-half of liis yearly income from liis practice in the highest courts ot Great Britain. To these courts the large pressure upon his time and la bor has compelled Mr. Benjamin to limit his practice. The briefs declin ed by him would double his income. But, always accustomed to do well tnd completely everything he under took, he has been forced to reduce the imount cf his labor within the com pass of his wonderful capacity and industry. We doubt if these* have ever been equaled by any other aspi rant for distinction and success at the English or American bar. From gentlemen who have recent- ly called on him in London, wc learn that his labors are incessantly prose cuted in his office for at least twelve hours oat of the twenty-foar, and that he still has a few hours to spare for enjoyment and recreation with bis friends, to whom he is always welcome as ono of the mo9t genial and vivacious of companions. So far from being affected by this intense labor, his physique exhibits scarcely a perceptible change from that which it exhibited when he was a leader at oar bar and at that of the United States Supreme Cun rt, a Senator from Louisiana, and the most brilliant and effective orator and debater in tliaf body twenty-odd years ago, or when Secretary of State of tho Confederate States fourteen years ago. His hair still maintains its raven hue, unfrosted by sixty-seven years of trial and labors; liis flashing eyes have all their old brilliancy, needing no aid of glasses to perform their work; and his handsome face wears still that winning smile, which is rarely preserved by masculine coun* tenances, and is one of the happiest constituents of womanly beauty. Tho only porceptiblo change ob servable in his manners is tho great er gravity and precision of liis utter ance and in the restraint of a vivacity which, in his middle age, might be properly described . as boyish in its freedom and gayety. This change is, doubtless, due to the discipline of the English bar, where extreme slowness and delibera tion are so rigorously enforced in ar gument as frequently to run into the extreme of a stammering, cloudy and confusingly involved style of speak ing. There is little danger of Mr. Benja min ever falling into this Rtylc. One of his highest gifts, ami the principal secret of liis wonderfhl success as an advocate, lias been the marvelous clearness, force and dramatic power of his statements and the exquisite art of epitomizing tho facts ana law of the case he has in charge. The recognition of this remarkable power was happily expressed by the lato venerable Chief Justice of the United States Supremo Court in side observation to a brother Justice, after hearing Mr. Benjamin’s state ment of bis caso on his first appear ance before that tribunal: ' “It appears to me, Brother C, that our little Xew Orleans lawyer has stated hi* adversaries out of court” And so It proved, and these adversa ries were no less distinguished coun sellor* than Beverdy Johnson and Caleb Cushing. To even the present generation wc have thought it not uninteresting and uninstrnctive to present this sketch of the career and the character of one who hat so long identified with tho political, judicial and social history of our State, and in whoso splendid triumphs his contemporaries and fel low citizens have the right and so much reason to exult and rejoice. Wo havo been Impelled to discharge this work by the strong manifesta tions, communicated through old friends who have recently visited Mr. Benjamin in London, and his sincere, earnest and unchanged sym pathy with and devotion to his old friends in this city, and to the State where be first embarked in the itrug- glesof manhood and achieved hie earliest triumphs. Time and distance have indeed strengthened these ties to tho land of his warmest affections, which so many of his relatives clnim as their home, and in which repose the dust of his parents and of many of his dearest friends and relatives. Doubtless no greator pleasure could he offered to him than that to which he looks forward with enthusiastic hopefulness of revisiting the scenes nnu reviving the friendships of the days of his youth and manhood. Five Minutes. At a Into commencement in Raleigh, North Carolina, Dr. S. Irename Prime, tho well known editor of the Now York Observer, spoko tho following five minutes piece, which should be committed to memory and reduced to practice by every young man in the land. Men tn their prirao might also hope to profit by taking to themselves this Prime advice: “1 am invited to spenk to you five minutes, and only five. Little maybe said, and ranch may be done, in five minutes. In five minutes you may fire a city, scuttle a. ship, or ruin a 6oul. The error of a moment makes tho sorrow of a life. Get that thought well into your hearts, and my work is done in a minute instead of fire. Templed to sin, remember that in five minutes yon may destroy yoor good name, fill your soul with nndy- ing remorse, and brim, with sorrow, your father's gray hair to the grave. But if yon can do much evil, so you may do a mighty sum of good in five minutes. You may decide to live for useful ness and honor. Everything bangs on that choice, and it may be maae in fire minntes. Take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves; take care of the minotes and the hours are safe. I made a little book in this way; in the breakfast-room were pen and ink and paper; and if, when the ho’ir for breakfast came, all was not ready, I wrote a few words' or lines, as time allowed. The book wa9 finished, and it had been publish-' ed scarcely a week before I hiard It had saved a soul; it has saved many since. It did not cost me one minute that wonld have been used for any thing else. Five minntes in the morning, and as many in evening, will make yon the master of a new language in two or three years. Before you are of middle age yon may speak all the modern tongues, if you will but im prove the spare minutes of the years now flying by. Minntes arc more than jewels; than arc ‘the stuff that life is made of;’ ihey are diamond stepping-stones, tp wisdom, usefulness and wealth; the ladder to heaven. It will not take five minntes to do a good deed, and one a day will make a life ot honor and usefulness, with glory beyond.” Something Worth Knowing. Every little while we read in tho papers of some one who has stuck a rusty nail in his foot, or knees or hand, or some other portion of his body, and that lock-jaw resulted therefrom, of which the patient died. If every person was aware of a per fect remedy for ail such wounds, and wonld apply it, then all such reports must cease. But although we can give the remedy, wo cannot enforce its application. Some will not en force it because they think it too sim ple ; others will have no faith In it when they read it; while others think such a wound of small account, and not worth fussing over, until it is too late to do any good. Yet all such wounds can be healed without the fatal consequences which follow them The remedy is simple, almost always on hand, and can be applied by any one, and, what is better, it is infalli ble. It is simply to smoke the wound; or any bruise or wound that is in flamed, with burning wool or woolen cloth. Twenty minutes in the smoke of wool will take the pain out of the worst wound; repeated two or’three times, it will allay the worst cases of inflammations arising from a wound. People-may sneer at “the old man’s remedy” as much as they pleaso, but when they are afflicted just let them try it. It has saved many lives and much pain, and is worthy of being printed in letters of gold and put in every home. Hastening to be Rich.—‘Did you ever know a man who grow rich by fraud, continue successful through life, and leave a fortuno at death ?’ This question was put to a gentle man who had been in business forty yeais. After reflecting awhile ho replied: ‘Not one. I have seen many men become rich a9 if by magic, and win golden opinions, when some little thing led to au exposure of their fraud, and they Lave fallen into dis grace and ruin. Arson, perjury murder and suicide are common crimes with those who make haste to he rich, regardless of the means.’ ‘Boys, stick a pin here. You will soon he men, and begin to act with those who make money. Write this good man’s testimony in your mind, and wjlh it put the words of God: ‘He that hastenetli to be rich hath an evil eye, and considoreth not that poverty shall come upon him.’—Pro verbs xxxiii, 22. Let tlieso words lead you to resolve to make haste slowly, when you go into business, in the matter of making money. The Hon. James G. Blaine is spread ing himself over the Maine canvass this rear with even more than his usual energy and ublguitousnoss.— The Hon. Hannibal Hamlin is tod dling about among the baek towns with an activity that is remarkable in a man of his years. If hard work and hard money—or Us greenback equivalent—can elect the Republican candidates in Maine this fall, they will be elected.—X. Y. Sun. Four Georgia moonshiners, namod Hall, Collins, Smith and Driver, who a short time sinco were sentenced to Albany penitentiary for eighteen months each, and to pay in addition a fine of two hundred dollars, wore brought before United Statos Com missioner Frothingham to-day and discharged. Tho discharge was granted under the poverty danse, they having served their terms and being unable to pay their fine*. “Wait on the Lord.** “Why art thou cast down, oh, rav soul ?” How many have echoed this question or the Psalmist! Trials come to us which we cannot shake off in a moment, and which weigh us to the ground. Sometimes they come with out a note ef warning, and are there- fore' the harder to be done. The young rally. They weep, but they soon smile again, for hope in strong within them, and the future is bright with promise. It is not so with those who are in advanced years. Their powers of body and mind are fad ing; their earthly work is noarh done; and already the shadows o'f night are failing upon them. Xu wonder if, in a desponding mood, they cry, as did Elijah, in the wilder ness: “It Is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life/’ There are loaaes which are hard to bear. Death enters the home unbid den and t*k«a away a dear compan- ion and loved one from the family circle. There is a vacant place. No more will be seen.that familiar face; no more will be heard the tone of that familiar voice; There are'tears which start unbidden at the'memory of a great loss which can never be re placed. -The thought which David ottered when he heard that the child was' dead brings'a rav of comfort: “1 shall go to him, bat he will not re turn to me.” But there are trials worse than those which death can briug. It was not the child which died early, but the one which lived to manhood, which brought greatest sorrow to David. The king could banish a rebellious subjects from his kingdom, but the king was a father ana he could not ban! h the ton from his heart. A liv ing sorrow cannot be buried under ground. It Is with us in the day and iu the wakeful hours of night. Wc may not. speak freely of it, but it dwells with us, and throws a shadow upon our pathway. There are losses in business which make one«despondiug. Hard earn ings and scanty savings are swept away. The gains of years are sunk in a day, and then mpst come painful self-denial and sacrifice. The house must be sold and, in age it may be, one must begin again the struggle for a support. Then comes failing health, and the cup of sorrow seems to be full to overflowing. The brightness is taken from life; the foot-eore and weary pilgrim long* to reach the end of his jonrney. Child of despondency—look up ward i Though clouds and darkness %re round and about you, take cour age. “Hope thou in God,” and all will yet be well.— Keep a good conscience and do the best you can, and look to the future with unshaken confidence. God cares for his own and will forever care for them. Fear not then, but rejoice, tor the clouds will break, the darkness will scatter, and a light—even the light from Heaven—will flood with noonday brightness the path in which you walk. God lives and reigns. He who watches the flight of the sparrow and the growth of the lily watches over yon. He who led His ancient people through the Red sea and through the wilderness into the land of promise, will lead yon Into a better land than' that. “Hope thou in God.” Bear your trials with a Christian spirit and peace will come to your troubled soul. Break forth into singing as you view with the eye of faith' a brighter day and it brighter home than you have known on earth.—Methodist. -No Sabbath in Austria. A traveler writes: Whatever else Vienna may have, she certainly has no Sabbath. Unless the traveller keeps cJo8e watch ou the lapse of time, he will himself forget the recurrence of Sunday; for there is nothing here —as in most other continental cities —to remind him when the Lord’s Day has come. We have been in Vi enna two Sabbaths, and outside of our own party and a few American and English travelers, we have not heard any suggestions of such a dav. Traffic, work, amusements and worla- iy occupations have gone on just the same on the seventh as on the sixth day. Indeed, the theatres and the dance honses do a better business on the Sabbath than on any other day. The Catholic churches (fqr nearly ev erybody here is .a Roman Catholic) have services on: the Sabbath, ana small audiences gather, bat the noise of basinets outside dfb wns the voice of prayer. Continental Europe has virtually set aside the fourth com mandment" Thorough Cooking It is one of the most common mis takes of the cook to give too little time to the cooking of meat and veg etables. She is careless about getting them over the fire in season, and, to make up for the delay, she attempts to “rash things” by using a very hot fire, spoiling the food by too fUriou - boiling or -baking. Hard boiliug toughens the fibre of meat and spoils the texture of vegetables, but a long steady boiling heat gradually softens or makes tender the toughest fibers. Many persons suppose that many articles of food do not agree with them, when tho wholo difficulty ari ses from the imperfect manner in which they are prepared, Some veg etables are thought to be especially provocative of flatulence, but a more thorough cooking remedies that evil. Flatulence has other causes, as over eating or too great a proportion of sugar in the diet, but thoso articles ot food which are usually assooiated with the evil may be robbed of these terrors by a more prolonged cook ing. Cook dry beane several hour*, a gentle but steady simmering—five hours are not too many, even after an all-night soaking. Dry peas need tho same treatment. Vegetables need more and more lime as they grow older. By spring, rutabagas need cooking almost half a day, and onions should do boiled an hour or more.— Salsliy and parsnips, especially the former, need thoro than the twenty minutes’ boiling usually prescribed for them. Prof. Richardson considers ab sinthe drinking worse than opium eating. In the worst examples the abslntho drinker becomes a confirm ed epileptic. One or two wineglass- fuls of It a day will produoe perma nent) dyspepsia.. A more consum mate devil of destruction could not be concocted. Jockey’s Tricks. The tricks connected with the sale of horses are perhaps the same all the world over. A French proverb says: In purchasing a horse do not have confidence even in your father. In presence of the dealer, be very silent; neither betray your ignorance or your capacity; eschew above all bis ilattcry. On the other hand, never xrxpect a perfect horse, as such does not exist, And bear in mind, that it is uot the horse which is to suit the owner, but rather the owner to suit •he horse. Indeed, the latter i« like soup; too hot for some palates, too cold lor others, and just the thing for a third taste. In France, great atteu • ion is paid to the toilettes of horses intended for sale: aud this is tin more important, as tbo matter ma> represent a difference of 1,000 francs. When the animal is purchased rough aud shaggy from the peasant, win. heavy abdomen and broad hoofs, it is placed iu a warm and dark stable to be fattened, so as to present in spring and winter the short shining coat of summer aud autumn; it is well groomed, fed on alops and cook ed food, till the coat possesses tin sleekness of a mouse, with a genera, rouudnets of flesh. If the animal b. young, this exotic fattening will affect iu beitith; iu any case a fat hors, means weakness aud a presumption of coming malady. The ugly abdo dem is reduced by a few purges; tin loug hairs around the muzzle art burned, as well as the tufts at tin ears; the svissura and tweezers regu late the mane and the fetlocks, turn the hoofs are pared down to Cinde- rella proportions. One point remains to be settled—that of causiug the aui- mal to have as much animation anu gracefulness In the tail as a squirrel’s, •his is produced by placing a piece oi ginger in the rectum, that irritates like a mustard blister. A great man, of these fraud* can be unmasked it the inteudiug purchaser tries the horse himself, and far from theneigb- borhood. Wo rarely buy a pair oi boou without trying them on, but we accept a horse without such a crucial test. . See It, Don’t Yon ? The editor of the Lewlsburgh (X. V.) Chronicle tells why country newspapers have to charge more than city newspapers, as follows: “We are often asked by well-meaning peo ple why they have to pay Mgher for conntry newspapers than for those printed in cities. ‘Why do you charge $2.00 a year for the Chronicle, when I can get the Xew' York Sock- dologer—a bigger paper—for $2.50?’ We will Iry to clear up this mystery. Suppose the Chronlclo has a cash sub- sr.ription'of 1000 at $2.00—that makes $2000. Well now suppose the Xew YorkSockdologer or whatever paper you choose for a comparison: has n paying list of 100,000 at $1.60—that makes that $150,000. Now suppose this city paper has a profit on each subscriber of ten cents—that clears the publisher $10,000; but suppose the Chronicle realizes that percentage and no more—that would make a sum of $10D. This lattor amount wonld compel a conntry printer to live very thin’ himself and squander nothing on his family, while his city contemporary would wax fat as Sesli- urum. You now see the necessity of a conntry printer charging more than a city paper, don’t you ? A paper the size ot the Chronicle, with its circu lation and price, couldn’t Uve one night in a city.” [The above is very good so far as it goes. It is well to state, however, that the “cheap” weeklies of the large cities are made up almost exclusively of matter previously put in type for the daily edition of the same paper, so that it really costs tbo publishers nothing for type-setting, whilst that is the principal expense in the publi cation of a country paper. Cotton Picking Should begin eo soon as a hand can gather 40 or 60 pounds per day, and the work ehould be pushed through out the season. It should be the aim of every farmer to gather the staple as fast as possible, for there is noth ing that affects its selling qualities more than the injury resuiting from exposure in the fields to storms of wind and rain. It is mnch better to encourage the pickers to do rapid work even if trashy cotton is the re sult, than to delay the gathering of the crop until a large portion oflt is badly damaged by long exposure to the weather. There is a “happy mean” between extreme care in pick ing on the one hand and unnecessary baste on the other, which m.ist be determined by each farmer for him- self? by considering the rate at which the crop is likely to open and the number of hands available for the work. Bear in mind that the difference in price between the samples of cotton, equal ill other respects, the one being rather trashy and the other compara tively free from trash, is usually very small; while on the other hand, the loss in market value resulting from exposure to bad weather frequently amounts to 2 or 3 ceuts per pound, besides the absolute waste, in the field. The general rule should be to gather the crop as fast as it opens.— It will uot pay to be over particular about trash when the crop is opening rapidly, especially if pickers are scarce. For the same reason it is not best to consume too much time in picking tho last bit from the bolls; this may be done toward the latter part of the season after the bulk of the n.-op has been gathered.—Planter & Grange. Brunswick Advertiser: A fow days since Messrs. George find Doc Myers, of this county, were ont hunt ing coons a little before daylight, when one of their dogs was bitten by a huge snako. Tho poor creature suffered several deaths, apparently, before medicine could bo procured. He was even considered In a dying condition when the following dose was administered: One gill sweet oil and one and a half gills of whisky. A handful of common bread soda was also bound aronnd the wounded part. Suffice to say the dog com mo’nced to improvo at once, and is now ali right again: Hunters might mako a note of this. - Touchingly picturesque, tenderly suggestive, and bewitohinuly piquant, 1* about the language to be employ ed tn describing the new fall bonnet.
