itltdeettmiCMis JlUilfqj. The Fading and Falling Leaves Of antmirn are just now admirably typical of the fading awl falling hopes of the Southern Democracy. A month ago we were in all the vigor of the green leaf—perl taps very green to l>e so; but so it was. We were strong in the faith that the era of lawless rule and baronet government was drawing j to a close, and Federal usurpation would next year meet with so signal a popular rebuke as to revive the hopes of the friends of liberty and republican government throughout the world—rehabilitate the public conscience and morals—reinaugurate an era of constitutional law. adminstrative integrity and responsibility, and take us, as a nation, once more out of the arid wilderness of bayonet rule and official tyranny and corrup tion. We felt that the popular tide set that way, and was bound to overflow the coun try. But we don’t feci so now. Everybody is counting on the possibility of more Grant ism. and this is not so much from what has happened in the way of elections, as what we feel ought to have happened. We know that the Ohioans have polled some 80,000 more Democratic votes than they have ever done before, but we feel sure that, with a proper alignment they should have carried the day. We are in the situation of an army without confidence in the generalship which directs it. We fear that the Democracy has lost the strategic and tactical ability winch once directed its fortunes, as well as those high, broad, generous principles and motives and tolerant policy which animated it. The example of Ohio, throwing aside her invinci ble armory of Democratic weapons, and investing the fortunes of American Demo cracy on a private little financial dogmatism of her own, was disheartening in the extreme. And the misfortune was not bettered by the haughty dictatorial spirit with which she in turn was assaulted by the Northern and Eastern Democratic leaders. Every one saw that this side-show business was lound to ruin the whole performance: and as it becomes more and more evident that the actors and enactors don't mean to listen to reason and harmonize, we are being most unwillingly forced to the conclusion that the Great, Centennial Exposition of the American Democracy must end in a dead faliure for the want of competent managers, and the entire stock and properties go to the block at an enormous sacrifice. If this should happen, strange to say, both the Democratic inflaters and contractionists may sec thair projects carried out, after a sort. The inflaters will see plenty of curren cy, such as it may be—from “Good for a Drink” to every other kind of merchandise and transportation certificate—and the hard cts kind of a hard money man may gloat himself with the agony of paying eight, hun dred millions ol taxes yearly with less than three hundred millions sum total of currency applicable to purpose. When all this conies about on the resumption bill of 1861), we shall be prepared to admire that felicitous stupidity which reconstructed Grant’s shoul der strap dynasty on such a ditferenee of financial opinion as that which now divides and paralyzes the American Democracy.— Tel. <s• The “Stonewall” Brigade. BEAURKGARI)’S ACCOUNT OF HOW TIIF. NAME ORIGINATED. Tn a letter to the New Orleans Picayune, General Beauregard says: During the battle of Manassas, about elev en o’clock a. m., when that gallant and mer itorious officer, Brigadier General Barnard E. Bee, was endeavoring to rally his troops in the small valley in the rear of the Robinson House, he noticed .Jackson's brigade, which had just arrived and taken position a little in the rear of him, in a copse of small pines bordering on the edge of the plateau where was about to be fought the first great battle of the war. Bee, finding that his appeals were unheeded by his brave but disorganized troops, then said to them : “ Rally, men, rally ! See Jackson’s brigade standing there like a stone wall.” These words gave the appelation to the brigade, and thence to its heroic com mander. The other incident occurred at the delivery of the Confederate battle flags to my forces at Centerville, in the autumn of 1861. Many of these flags had been made from ladies' red silk dresses, some of which were much faded, but nevertheless highly appreciated by our troops. The brigade had been drawn up in columns of regiments on the plateau of Cen terville. around a small elevation, where were stacked all the flags for distribution. The Colonels of regiments inarched to the front and formed a line near the colors. After addressing a few remarks to these officers, I handed each one in succession a flag. When I came to Col. Withers, he remarked : “Gen eral. it is nearly white, and may be mistaken for a flag of truce.” I answered at once : “ Then, sir, dye it in the blood of our enemies,” which lie promised, laughingly, to do. But he had occasion to dve it more than once in his own gallant blood, and finally he was so desperately wounded that he had to be put on post duty toward the end of the war. iW The Augusta Chronicle awl Sentinel of Tuesday chronicles a strange death : “Mrs. Joseph W. Judkins, wife of J. W. Judkins, Assistant United States Marshal, and daugh ter of Capt. Wm. M. Moore, United States Revenue Collector, died in this city last Sunday morning of erysipelas. Mrs. Jud kins some days since noticed a small pimple on her chin. She prickod it with a needle, and from this small puncture the disease which caused her death ensued.” John King, in 1862. lived in Tennessee.— Soldiers of both armies raided on his farm. So he removed all his produce to a cave, in the Cumberland mountain. A storm threw down a rock which closed the mouth of the cave. Therein he lived for thirteen years in the dark, eating from his produce and drink ing from a spring. The other day a railway company blasting for a tunnel blasted him out. So says a paper. The other day a would-be fashionable lady called at a neighbor's, at what she thought would be supper time. “Come in,” said the neighbor, “we are having tableaux.” “ I'm so glad, said the visitor, “ 1 thought I smelt cm, and like em better than anything for supper.” Truth is one of the rarest gems. Many a youth has been lost to society by allowing it to tarnish, and foolishly’ throwing it awav.— It this gem still shines in your bosom, suffer nothing to displace or dim its lustre. An old Grecian philosopher advises all men to “know themselves.” That is advising a good many to form very low and disreputable acquaintances. JITil WOLF. HOW ITE FAILED TO <;AB THE TOM OATS, BUT SPOILED A CANDY PULL. I knew by the sympathetic glow upon his bald head—l knew by the thoughtful look upon hi* face —l knew by the emotional flush upon tlie strawberry on the end of tiie old free liver's nose, that Simon Wheeler’s mem ory was busy with the olden times. And so I prepared to leave, because all these were reminiscences—but I was too slow ; he got the start of me. Anearl vas I can recollect, I the infliction was couched in the following language: “We were all boys then and didn't care for nothing, and didn't have no trouble, and didn't worry about npthing only to shirk school and Keep up a revivin’ state of devil ment all the time. This yah Jim Wolf I was talking ’bout was the ’prentice, and he was the best hearted feller, he was, and the most forgivin’ an onselfish I ever see—well, there couldn’t be a more bullier bov than he was, take him how you would, and sorry enough was I when I saw him for the last time. Me and Henry was always pestering him and plastering horse hills on his back and putting bumble laics in his bed, and so on, and sometimes we and crowd in bunk with him not'thstanding his growling, and then we'd let on to’get mad and fight across him, so as to keep him stirred up like, lie was nine teen, he was, and long, and lank, and bash ful. and we was nrteen and sixteen, and tol erably lazy and worthless. So, that night you know, that my sister Mary gave a candy-pullin', they started us on to bed early, so as tlie company could have full swing, and wc run in on Jim to have some fun. • Our winder looked out onto the roof of the ell, and about ten o'clock a pair of old tom cats got to rarin' and chargin’ around it and carrying on like sin. There was four inches of snow on thft roof, and it was frozen so that there was a right smart crust of ice on it, and the moon was shining bright, and wc could sec them cats like daylight. First they’d stand off and e-yow yow-yow, just the same as if the}’ was a cussin' one another, you know, and bow up their backs and push up their tails and swell around and spit, and then all of a sudden the grey cat he'd snatch a handful of fur out oftheyaller cat's ham, and spin him around like a button oil a barn door. But the yaller cat was game, and he'd come and clinch, and the way they’d gouge, and bite and howl, and the way they'd make the fur fly, was powerful. Well, Jim, he got disgusted with the row, and "lowed he'd climb out there and shake him off'ii that roof. He hadn't reely no no tion of doin’ it. likely, but wc everlastingly dogged him, and bully-ragged him, and ’low ed he'd always bragged how he wouldn’t take a dare, and so on, till bimeby lie highsted up the winder, and 10, and behold you, he went —went exactly as lie was, nothing on but a shirt, and it was short, but you ought to see him. Von ought to see him cre-e-pin’ over that ice. and diggin’ his toe-nails and finger nails in to keep from slippin’; and’bove all, you ought to seen that shirt-tail flappin’ in the wind, and them long, ridickulous shanks of iiis glistenin’ in t-iie moon dig lit. Them company folks was down there un der them eaves, and the whole scpiad of ’em under that ornery shed of old Washin'ton Bower vines—all settin’ round about two dozen sassers of hot candy, which they’d sot in the snow to cool. And they was talkin’ and laughin’ lively; but bless you, they didn’t know nothin’ 'bout the panorama that was goiu’ on over their heads. Well, Jim, he went a-snea-kln up, unbeknowns to them tom cats —they was a switchin’ their tails and yow yowin' and threatenin' to clinch, you know, and not payin' atiy attention—he went asnea kin’ right up to the comb of the roof, till he was in a loot’ft half of ’em, and then all of a sudden he made a grab for the yaller cat!— But by gosh he missed fire and slipped his holt and his heels flew up and he flopped on hfs back, and shot off n that roof like a dart! —went a slashin’ and a eras bin’ down thro’' them old rusty vines, and landed right in the centre of them eomp’ny people !—sot down like a yearthquak© in them two dozen sassers of red-hot candy, and let off a howl that was hark f’m the tomb ! Them gals—well, they looked, yoirknow. They see he wasn’t dress ed for conin’ny,' and so they left. All done in a second—it was just one little-war-whoop and a win ah I of their dresses, and blame the wench of ’em was in sight anywhere ! Jim he was a sight. lie was germed with that bilin’ hot molasses candy clean down to his heels, and had more busted sassers bang in' to him than if he was an Injun princess— and he come a prancin’ up stairs just a-whoop iT and cussin,’ and every jump he gave he shed some china and every squirm he fetched he dropped some candy ! And blistered ! Why bless your soul, that poor cretur couldn't reelv set down comfort able for as much as four weeks.” —Mark Twain. LV This, according to an Atlanta Herald correspondent, is the way in which Judge Ilansell rids rhomasville of the presence of colored desperadoes : C’has. Davidson, the mulatto l>oy. wlto broke into the house , of Judge R. 11. Hardaway one night during the past summer, and who, upon being seized by the Judge, snapped a pistol at him, was yerterday sentenced by Judge Ilansell to forty years in the penitentiary. Tin: LaGrange Reporter states that marrying is getting quite common in that section notwithstanding the hard times. At a Baptist association last Sunday morning seventeen newly mated couples put in an appearnce. Twelve of them had been mar ried that morning. Milan, Tenn., Erehamjc: A sow on the farm of Mr. Joseph Williams, one mile east of town, gave birth to two lambs one day r last week. These remarkable “pigs” are still living. A Parting. “ Bood-by, then !” And ho turned away, No other word between them spoken; You hardly could have guessed that day llow close a bond was broken. The faint slight tremor of the hand That clasped her own in that brief parting, Only her heart could understand, \\ ho saw the toar-drops starting— Who felt a sudden snrge of doubt, Come rushing hack unbidden o'er her, As with words her life without, llis presence loomed up before her. The others saw, the others heard A calm, cold man, a gracious woman, A quiet, brief farewell, unstirred By aught at all uncommon. She knew a solemn die was cast, She knew that two paths now must sever, That one familiar step had passed Out of her life forever. To all the rest it merely meant A trivial parting, lightly spoken ; She read the bitter mute intent. She knew—a heart was broken ! SUNDAY READING. “THE THORN IN THE FLESH.” Concerning the “small worries” which 90 to make up a vast sum of human misery, the Biblical Recorder says: The Christian world has long been guess ing what Paul’s thorn in the flesh was." We have a book that in ten pages tries to show what Paul's thorn was not, and in another ten pages tries to show what it was. Many of the theological doctors have felt Paul’s pulse to see what was the matter with him. We suppose the reason he did not tell us what it was, may have been because he did not want 11s to know. lie knew that if he stated what it was, there would have been a great many people from Corinth bothering him with prescriptions as to how he might cure it. Some say it was diseased eyes—some that it was a humped back. It may have been neuralgia. Perhaps it was gout, although his active habits and a sparse diet throw doubt on the supposition. Suffice it to say, it was a thorn—that is, it stuck him. It was sharp. It was probably of not much account in the eyes of the world. It was not a trouble that could be compared to a lion, or a boisterous sea. It was like a thorn that you may have in your hand or foot and no one know it. Thus we see that it becomes a type of those little nettlesoine worries of life that exasperate the spirit. Every one has a thorn sticking to him. The housekeeper finds it in unfaithful domse tics ; or an inmate who keeps things disor dered ; or a house too small for convenience, or too small to be kept cleanly. The profes sional man finds it in perpetual interruptions or calls for “more cop} 7 .” The Sunday school teacher finds it in inattentive scholars or neighboring teachers that talk loudly, and make a great noise in giving a little instruc tion. One man has a rheumatic joint which, when the wind is northwest, lifts the storm signal. Another, a business partner who takes full half the profits, but does not help to earn them. These trials are the more nettlesome because, like Paul’s thorn, they are not to be mentioned. Men get sympathy for broken bones and mashed feet, but not for the end of sharp thorns that have been broken off in the fingers. Let us start ont with the idea that we must have annoyances. It seems to take a certain number of them to keep us humble, wakeful, and prayerful. To Paul the thorn was as disciplinary as the shipwreck. If it is not one thing, it is another. If the stove does not smoke then the boiler must leak. If the pen is good the ink must be poor. If the thorn does not pierce the knee, it must take you in the back. Life must have sharp things in it, we cannot make up our robe of Christian character without pins and needles. We want what Paul got: grace to bear these things. Without it we become cross, censorious, and irascible. We get in the habit of sticking our thorns into other people’s fingers. But. God helping us, we place these annoyances in the category of the “all things work together for good.” We see how much shorter thorns are than the spikes that stuck through the palms of Christ's hand, and, remembering that He had on 11 is head a whole crown of thorns, we take to ourelves the consolation that if we suffer with Him on earth, we shall be glori • • • VO fied with Him in Heaven. But how could Paul positively rejbice in these infirmities? The school of Christ has three classes of scholars: In the first class we learn howto be stuck with thorns without losing our patience : in the second class we learn how to make the sting positively advantageous; in the third class of this school we learn how even to rejoice in being pierced and wounded—but that is the senior class, and when we get to that, we are near graduation into glory. GOOD IMPRESSIONS. “ God’s Spirit only can render good impressions lasting. When Daguerre w r as working at his sun-pictures, his great diffi culty was to fix them. The light came and imprinted the image; but when the tablet, was drawn from the camera the image had vanished. Our lamentation is like his—our want the same ; a fixing solution that shall arrest and detain the fugitive impressions. He discovered the chemical power which turned the evanescent into the durable. There is a divine agency at hand that can fix the truth upon the heart of man—God’s llolv Spirit.” RPSays the Presbyterian Banner: —No man will promptly develop as a Christian who lives in a state of quarrel. In enmity against God, he is of course not a Christian at all; but reconciled to him, he must remain a dwarf, unless he secures peace with those around him. Fighting the brethren, fighting angrily in behalf of reform, contending w r ith bitter words and hard strife for even the best of doctrines, he will stunt the growth of a di vine life within him. Even fighting against sin is not to be done in a quarrelsome way, but in a spirit of honoring God, while abhor ring sin and pitying the sinner. We are to conduct a warfare, but our fight is to be a “good” one, which means that it is to be di rected against wrong and in favor of right, and also that it is to be waged so that in the darkest day of defeat we may be able to say, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” load of toil, and sin, and care; the heavy burdens which our weary hands are daily’ called upon to carry for a wise pur pose, will be taken away from us some day, not here in this sad world, but in a better and a brighter one, and by the hand of our Father in Heaven. Let us remember that in the blessed home of Jesus there is no toil, no aching heart, no throbbing brain, no doubt, no sorrow; hope becomes fruition, and sorrowing love is crowned with everlast ing bliss. Bear with the sorrows of earth, remembering the beatitude of Heaven, which is given to all who trust and believe. The grandest operations, both in nature and in grace, are silent and imperceptible. The shallow brook babbles in its passage, and is heard by every one ; but the coming of the seasons is silent and unseen. The storm ra ges and alarms, but its fury is soon exhaust ed. and its effects are soon remedied ; but the dew, though gentle and unheard, is immense in quantity, and the very life of large portions of the earth. And these are pictures of the operations of grace in the Church and in the soul. ( W Best of all, is it to preserve everything in a pure, still heart, and let there be for every pulse a thanksgiving, and for every’ breath a song. Life is a short day’, but it is a working day. Activity may’ lead to evil, but inactivity can not lead to good. THE FARM. From Ag. Depar't Nashville American. CAUSE OF SMUT IN WHEAT. This is the season for sowing wheat in the South, and everyone who attempts to raise a bushel of this grain should know how to pre vent the growth of smut which is a foul and blighting parasite. We regret to see a mis take made by Mr. Lynch Turner, chairman of a committee of the Pulaski Grange in this State, appointed to examine into the cause of smut in wheat, having a wide circulation in agricultural papers as a matter of fact to be relied on by farmers. Thereportof this com mittee was first published in the Rural Sun, with editorial indorsement. The material part of the report is copied in the Rural New Yorker which says: “This is an important subject, and which Granges. Farm Clubs and individual farmers throughout the country should investigate. This association of farm ers recently becoming so popular and success ful, inaugurates anew era in the progress of American agriculture,” etc. The error into which a half dozen agricul tural papers have been led, and the Pulaski Grange Committee in the first start of this nominal investigation, has its origin in the fact that all these intelligent and respectable writers for the press entirely overlook the care ful observations and studies of men of science, aided by microscopes applied to the investi gation of parasites on wheat during the last two hundred years. This is one among a thousand cases where book knowledge has great value to the farmer to prevent serious mistakes. Not to do Mr. Turner a seeming justice, we copy from his published report as follows : “There is a small, brownish bug, about the size of a buffalo gnat, which makes its ap pearance soon after harvest time, and depos its eggs in the cleft of wheat grain. These eggs are, of course, sown with the wheat in the fall, and when germination takes place these eggs are enveloped in the plume and carried upward in the future growth of the stem until, perhaps the latter part of May, when those conditions favorable to insect life obtain, and may be found in one or more of the lower joints of the stem—rarely above the second from the top. At harvest time, they may be seen with the naked eve.” No one has shown that the eggs of insects circulate in the microscopic sap-vessels of wheat and other plants, nor through the smaller pores in the cells of plants. Animals and plants live on wheat simultaneously ; but a smut-bug no more produces smut than chil dren that eat wheat bread. All see the ab surdity of sa3*ing that the life in a horse can produce the life in an ear of corn, making an animal the father and mother of a well known grain. But the black mass of smut that oft en grows on the seeds and stalks of corn, and in the seeds of wheat, oats and barley, is as much a plant as any cereal can be, and like cereals has germs derived from parents, which reappear in offspring, descending like the vitality in man himself from one genera tion to another. Two species of smut-fungi are propagated by slovenly farmers in the seeds of wheat—one, the wredo segetum, and the other wredo fuetuid. The spores of these parasites are killed bx r washing seed wheat in strong briue, and letting it lie in brine an hour. Should it remain in brine too long it will destroy the life of the wheat and render the seed valueless. Nothing is easier than to infect clean wheat with smut, and raise infected plants, with no bugs or other insects near the plants. Thousands of experiments of this kind have been tried. In 184fi, Gen. Ilarmond, a distinguished red wheat grower in the town of Wheatland, New York, showed the writer a head of smut wheat with small live bugs in the seeds, like bugs in English peas. He claimed that the bugs caused the smut. We made a plenty of smut with the bugs left out from his seed. Take a sack in which smutty wheat has been handled, and put into a quart of as pure wheat, washed in Milestone, chamberlcy, or whatever else you please, that does not kill the germs in the grain, having the salts to kill the smut, wash ed off, and the second infection from the sack will be perfect, anp the harvest a crop of smut as well as one of wheat, when the quart of seed has been sown in the usual way. Noth ing is easier than to raise a crop of cockle, a crop of cheat and a crop of smut b} r planting the seed. The parasites known by the names of rust and mildew are not so easily prevent ed ; they are, however, blights that belong to the same class of enemies. Draining swamps and clean culture tend to dry the atmosphere and keep at a distance those microscopic cells and germs that produce malarial diseases in man and his domestic animals, and very sim ilar maladies in all plants whose seeds and Units form human blood, and that of cattle. LiPMr. David of Camilla, Mitchell county, in Southwestern Georgia, where snow never falls and the ground seldom freezes, and where the original pine forest is carpet ed with native grass, says his sheep—3,soo in number —cost him annually fourteen cents per head ;,clip three pounds of unwashed wool, which sells at thirty cents per pound, giving a clear profit of ninety per cent, on the money and labor invested in sheep. Lands suited to sheep-raising can be purchased in that sec tion of the State for from $1.50 to $lO per acre, according to location. Mr. Ay’ers does not feed his sheep at any time during the year, neither has he introduced the improved breeds using only what is known as the native sheep. Extraordinary Corn. —Mr. Joseph Rut ledge, who is farming for Col. F. A. Frost, has raised some very remarkable corn, a stalk of which is on exhibition at Col. Frost’s store. Out of every joint grows a shoot or branch, and on the end of each branch is a good-sized well developed ear of corn—not a “nubbin.” There are eight joints on the stalk, and con sequently eight branches and eight ears. The ears on the bottom branches are the smallest and they increase in size towards the top— the highest ears being the largest. This corn was raised by accident. The seed was in a sack of common western corn, and there are only four stalks of Jhis remarkable growth.— LuGtange Reporter. corn can and should be raised in the Soyth. It will grow on any soil where bread corn will—and yields from five hundred to two thousand pounds per acre, and requires but little care. It is planted closely in drills four feet apart; and as it soon out-grows the weeds it needs but little work. The lowest yield is five hundred pounds per acre, and this at ten cents (it is two to five cents more) per pound makes a crop worth as much as cotton, with far less trouble. BPTho LaGrange Reporter says Mr. L. Strong, of that county, has gathered this year, from an acre and a half of well improved land without invoking the aid of home-made or commercial fertilizers, one hundred and five bushels of corn, eight loads of peavine hay, and fodder and peas in proportion, Now is the Time TO ADVERTISE!!
