thus protected from the effects of too great de

insure its putting for^h a vigorous bud, it shonld
be soaked for twelve or eighteen hours, in a
solution of saltpetre, (one pound of the-salt to n
gallon of water) and well rolled in plaster of
Paris immediately before planted. ,1
I prefer bedding even high land, for two
reasons: First, it allows the winter’s frost to
permeate the land more thoroughly than when
it is left flat; and secondly, because the water
farrows thus formed afford a free passage for
the surplus water that falls in winter, and the
land is thereby left in a much better condition
for cultivation in the spring.
J know that many persons object to this mode
of cultivation, becauso they think that com
dropped upon a ridge must suffer more from
drought than if it were planted on a flat surface.
This is unquestionably true, bnt only a slight re-
flection will teach them that they are not driven
to the necessity of planting on a ridge, because
the land has been thrown into beds. .They may,
as I do, plant in the water farrows and on tho
clay. Abont two weeks before planting, say
from tho 10th to the 20th of March, I begin to
reverse the beds with the plough, by which they
had been formed; and if the ground be at all
rough or cloddy, I run two farrows of a three-
tooth coulter harrow over each bed. This puts
the ground in first-rate order, and pays better
than any two ploughings after planting. On re
versing tho beds, care shonld be taken to leave
a ridge of one or two inches of the soil unturned.
The dirt thus left will, when incorporated with
tho clay.bytho process presently to be described,
form a suitable matrix or bed for tho reception
of tho seed. The roots of com branching off
laterally and never penetrating the earth below
where tho grain is deposited, (there being no
tap-root,) it is all-important that the land be
broken very deep and that the seed be. planted
very low in the ground; otherwise it will wither
and fire on the approach of droughts. It is im
possible to break the land too or to pulverize it
too well, although it may be, and often it turned
too deep. The turning plough should run jnst
deep enough to penetrate a little distance below
the a^il, so as to throw up clay enough to glaze
the surface. j -.
The great advantage of very deep ploughing
is that tt greatly increases the power of the cap
illary attraction of the earth, by which the moist
ure is raised from below to the roots of the
plants. This power is augmented also by the
separation of the particles of tho earth which is
effected by tho plough, even as low as, the bot
tom of the furrow.
The difference in tho degree of this power of
attraction, where the land has been well broken
and where it has been left hard and cloddy, may
be estimated by holding in one hand a lump of
brown sugar with one end in water, and in the
other hand a lump of loaf sugar similarly sus
pended. It will be found that whilst the last
will be slow to absorb the water, the find will
have become saturated and dissolved. This will
be owing to the difference in the compactness
of the two samples. Nor is this the only advan
tage of deep ploughing; for whilst it greatly in
creases the moisture by raising it in dry weather,
it decreases it-in wet weather by facilitating its
S vitation. And yet,-with the "importance of
j method of cultivation set before them, how
many are there who will prefer the old mode, of
■Vtdptna tie surface, and setting it running
down hin with every rain.
Having thoroughly prepared the land as above
described, I run three deep coulter farrows
midway between the ridges. This forms a suit
able bed, by the admixture of soil and clay, for
the reception of the grain. The opening would
be deep, and this," together with the dropping
and covering, may be beautifully effected at a
single operation by the Snlky Com Planter,!re
cently introduced. If this cannot be procured,
the opening shonld be made by a shovel plough,
with a smalt mould board attached on each side.
The grain should be dropped from the hand and
covered with a hoe. Three grains of cbm
shonld be dropped where you intend but one
stalk to remain. .. £Y „ —
I may be asked what distance I allow. On
ordinary high land, I plant the grain 3 by 5 feet
apart, which will give 2,900 plants to the acre.
On better land, I plant it 2* by 5
feet—and on very rich land, I would have it not
more -than 2 by 5 feet apart, giving respectively
2.625 and 4,350 plants to the acre.

ous drops f" I have fhna far written of. the cul
tivation of com on high land only.
On sandy .low-grounds there need be but lit-
tie variation of the mode; but in low-grounds
with an impervious soil, or otherwise liable to
be saturated with water, an opposite treatment
is required. Whereas, the object in the first
case is to solicit and retain moisture, we are to
endeavor here to provide the most effectual
means of getting it ont of the land.
In the preparation of land of this character,
tho first step to be taken is to cat a sufficient
number of ditches in the proper place, and of
tho proper size and depth, to attract and carry
off the surplus water. If thf soil be of an im
pervious character, it will be necessary to con
struct blind ditches of the required depth, lead
ing into tho open sewers, taking care to have
their'eoffering so far below the surface, as not
to be reached by the plough. These, together
with surface trenches made with a plongh and
properly located, will put tho land in a proper
state for cultivation. “ ' * *
Hero I would throw up the beds four feet
apart, pointing them in the direction of the
trenches. I adopt narrow beds on such land,
fox the some reason that I would discard them
on high land; namely, because they can be mado
higher, (and so dryer,) and for the farther rea
son that the water furrows are thereby multi
plied, both of which ciroumstanoea tend to dry
th6 8oiL
There is yet another reason for it. Tho high
er and narrower tho beds, the more effectually
will they bo penetrated by the frosts of winter,
which exert a powerful influence in pulverizing
and mellowing the land. i
In opening the beds for planting, the depth
of tho furrows should depend on the character
of the soil, and the liability to injury from over-
moisture."
In the cultivating, I would be careful to pre
serve the convexity of the beds as much as pos-
sible. Care should also be taken to keep the
trenches and water furrows well open daring the
winter.—Sn/. Planter and Farmer.
Nepotism. if ■
GCn. Grant’s extraordinary fondness for pro
viding for his family and friends, at the expense
of the public crib, has caused great commotion
in both Radical and Democratic circles. The best
view wo have ever seen taken of the subject; is
contained in this letter of Thomas Jefferson S to
a kinsman searching for place:
Dear Sir : The public will never be made to
believe that an appointment of a relative is made
on the ground of merit alone, uninfluenced by
family views; nor can'they ever see with appro
bation offices, the disposal of which they intinst
to their Presidents for public purposes, divided
ont as family property. Mr. Adams degraded
himself infinitely bvhis conduct on this subject,
as Washington had done himself the greatest
honor. With two such examples to proceed by,
I shonld be doubly inexcusable to err. It is
true that this places the relations of the Presi
dent in a worse situation than if be were a
stranger, bnt the public good, which can not be
effected if its confidence be lost, requires this
sacrifice. Perhaps, too. it is compensated by
sharing in the public esteem. --

■ _ Forrest, Mbs., March 24,1869.
several days previous immense posters were
posted on all the walls in town, announcing that
Reynold’s great Mexican gymnasium and me-
nagrae would exhibit in Forrest on that day.
Early m the morning all the roads leading to
town-were thronged with people of all ages
sexes and colors, and by 10 - o’clock, tho whole
town was ali T e with visitors awaiting the arrival
of the menagerie. At 11 o’clock the fine brass
band announced the arrival of the show, and by
12 it, the canvas was stretched and the cages of
the animals arranged.
[ ’fihe huge elephant, Hercules, the largest ever
imported into this country, was chained to a
stake, and, by way of caution to those entering
the canvas, Mr. John Alston, his keeper, stated
that he had for several days manifested a dispo
sition of insubordination, and begged that no
one would approach sufficiently near to receive
a blow from his trunk. Mr. Mark Kite, from
the northern part of this county, coming in af
ter Mr. ‘Alston’s admonition, thoughtlessly
handed _ him a piece of tobacco, which so en
raged him that he struck at him with such vio
lence as to dislocate his shoulder, although it
was a glance blow. He plunged with such
force that he broke his chain, and though his
keeper used every effort to subdue him, he was
entirely uncontrollable, and he would strike and
tick at every object near him. By this time
the scene was beyond description. The vast
crowd flew for life. He flew at his keeper, and
pursued him from under the canvas.
The eleven o’clock freight train being behind
[time, and not having any freight for Forrest,
3 |the .engineer not intending to stop, came
ling along at the rate of twenty miles an
hour. When it had approached within two
hundred yards he looked np the road and seemed
doubly enraged. He immediately ran toward it
with great speed, and met it with such a shod:
that he broke one of his tusks and was immedi-
j ately killed. The engine was detached from the
tram and thrown from the track, and Mr. Whar
ton, the engineer, having failed to shutoff
steam, it unfortunately ran into the canvas and
smashed the lion’s cage, killing the lioness and
releasing the lion.
Tho lion, finding himself uninjured and at
liberty, and being frightened by the steam and
whistle of the engine, started at foil speed down
the Homewood road, roaring terrifically. He
I had gone bnt a short distance when he met Mr.
George AY. Sheppard and gave chase. Mr.
Sheppard, finding that he was gaining on him
rapidly and that he would certainly be overta
ken, attempted to climb a sappling. Ho struck
at him with his paw as he ascended, bnt fortu
nately did no other damage than to tear off his
coat-tail and carry away a part of his pants.
Mr. John Smith, of Raleigh, while on his way
to Forest, riding his fine pacing horse, with his
little son behind him, met with him four miles
from here. As soon as his horse saw him he
neighed, when the lion rushed at him, seized
him by the throat and threw him upon the
ground. Mr. Smith, with his little son, escaped
to the woods and made their way to Forest on
foot. ;
AVhile he was dovoaring Mr. Smith's horse,
Mr. James J. Rich, who was on his way to
Forest with a load of chickens, drove np. As
soon as he Saw him he reared on his hind feet,
lashed the pound with his tail, and sprang at
him. Mr. Rich eluded him by jumping from
his wagon, when he mounted and began to tear
open the boxes containing the chickens, and
tinned them ont He then seemed to lose sight
lot everything in his efforts to catch them.
AVhcn the excitement in town abated, abont
twenty mounted men, well armed, started in
pursuit with all the dogs belonging in town, as
well as many that had followed their owners.
Mr. Reynolds, the owner of the lion, begged
them not to kill him, and sent several men with
the crowd with instructions to capture him, if
possible, but no donbt tho citizens will kill him
as soon as they overtake him.
It is reported that he killed a freedman in

A Colored Lecturer's Views about Mie
South and Southern People. H
A large audience, composed of the bettor class
of colored people, with a few whites, assembled
last evening in the Hall of Representatives, cor
ner Conti and Royal streets, to hear Martin R.
Delany’s views on “the state of the country in
reference to the South.” He was introduced to
the audienco by C. S. Sauvinet, Esq., cashier
of tho Freedman’s Savings Bank of this city, and
after a few preliminary remarks, launched forth
as follows: That, all the colored people required
were equal rights before the law; end the po
litical disabilities of ‘the whites were not owing
to any loro of the colored people, bnt as a pun
ishment indicted by the conquerors, a result of
the war; bnt on account of tho disfranchisement
oflhe whites some few negroes had slid into
office in the Southern States. • ;
- This tho speaker dwelt upon, telling the col
ored portion of his audience, among whom we
saw several members of the Legislature, that
tho same would not occur again. The white
race were true to themselves. As much as they
pretended to like negroes, yet the great mass of
the Radical party North were unwilling to see
the colored man rule tho white. He warned his
colored friends against a class of adventurers,
the miserable, puny, mercenary Yankee, who
came only for the spoils. That white labor
could jiot work the.soil; cited to Brazil and
other South American countries where it had
been tried and failed. The colored people
shonld be true to themselves; that they must
work tiH the soil, and raise tho crops; that they
conldnot expect to lay down the hoe and become
legislators—they were not fitted for such busi-
ness ; that the white people must accept the
situation, the colored people work and let poll,
tics alone, and everything vronld right itselL
