Wort hen, of Washington county, produced, In 1875,6,917pounds of seed cotton, equal to five bales of 461 pounds each, on one aero of ground. Tills cotton, nt an average price for that year—17] cents—gives a total of $403 from the acre. Deduct the cost, $148, and we have as the net profit, $255—a pretty good showing for one acre. In 1875 Mr. J. L. Boynton, of Cal houn county, produced over two hales of cotton mi one acre, with only $44 total expense—leaving him a net profit of $185 tor one acre.

We might multiply in stances of this sort, perfectly well ac credited, almost indefinitely. MAKING hay in the sunshine. Home of the most startling yields have been taken from acres planted in liny and forage crops, and tliis, too, in the face of the fact that many peo ple contend that Georgia is not ti gross growing Stale.

STOCK]fARMING AND FRUIT CULTURE. \Ve might present example after example of enormous profits made on fruit and stock, but reserve them for future articles. II will lie noticed in the above that wo have given figures to show what may lie done with every variety of crops, and ill every part of the State. The lesson to he drawn from tlie fig ures are that wherever a man is sit uated in the Slate, or whatever crop lie may desire to cultivate, lie may achieve tlie richest results if he will only work bravely and intelligently. We shall huve more to say upon this subject. A Disease Peculiar to Russian <4rand Dukes. London World.] There isu peculiar form of illness in tlie imperial family of Russia, known among the outer public as "imperial disease,” which is confined solely to the inemljers of tlie imperial house. It lias no symptoms that cun be re cognized by tlie medical profession, but it always arises from the same predisposing cause—the displeasure of the Czar. When a grand duke incurs the Emperor’s displeasure he is re moved, if possible, to some distant post, where, nominally holding a nigh and important command, lie is really In hanislmienl from the court. One'grand duke is mixed up in a brawl at a place of public entertain ment, nnd is beaten by tlie clown of an English circus: the Kliivnn expe dition is on hand, and lie is sent to take a command in it. Another grand duke is made Governor Gen eral of the Caucasus, and it ia known thut he is in disgrace, though tlie cause lias never yet tran spired. Bui there are occasions when no Hueli opportunity presents Itself, and when no cause but illness can justify the removal of tlie offender. I f, for exuniple. there be ugraud duke in . iimniiinil of an army in tlie field, a1111 il be thought desirable to remove him, any transfer to unother post would be so palpable a disgrace, which under no imaginable conditions will the emperor openly inflict upon a Romanoff, that lie is ordered to report himself sick; It is duly certified that he is suffering from tliis complaint or that, necessitating change ufuir, and only a few know that he has no illness hut Imperial disease. It iH rumored in St. Petersburg that tlie Gruud Duke Nicholas is already beginning to sicken, 'flic Times’ military cor respondent inndcoiitly confirms the report, “He is said,” lie writes, “to be suffering from liver complaint, but when I saw Him some days back he was very well.” The fact is that a spirit of doubt and distrust of the imperial house is rising in Russia, which must cause deep anxiety to the Czar.
