The T*iil<*nej l<> .'Wove from ihe
< ouniry to llic Tow n*
It i tno- ihat this is tle leniency of civiliza
tion, tin world over; but various cruises bring
ulwnit this result. lu Great Britain, the fact
that le>- than forty thousand jreopl** own all
the land, and the further fact that one-half of
all the arable land is sown to grass crops, ex
plain why the masses seek the manufacturing
o ntres In France, ow ing to the system of
small holdings—the average farm being less
than five acres—and to the fact that the French
people scarce!)* ever emigrate from France, the
tendency to Hock to Paris and other cities is due
to another cause. The scarcity of land in pro
portion to those entitled by law to become land
holders by hereditary right—the French law
being the very opposite of the law of primo
geniture-forces many of the young men in
every community to leave the farm to the
family and seek their living in the cities Hence
the perfection of French manufactures, and the
elaborate attention paid to the details in every
business connected with manufactures or archi
tecture. It was to give employment to this
restive class of the population which caused
Napoleon 111, to build the fine quarters and
splendid boulevards of Paris.
In this country, however, the result must be
traced to a different cause. The South has al
ways been an agricultural country, and the
majority of the people, prior to the war, either
lived in, or had their means invested in, the
country.
The New York World truly says: “ The
drift of population from thefarms to the towns
lias steadily continued and still continues, for
the simple reason that the vices of idleness and
pilfering in which Radical agitators have en
couraged the negroes have in many sections
made planting not only the least profitable but
one of tlm most hazardous industries in which
capital and the labor of the capitalest could be
invested. ht the central belt of Alabama, Mis
s' uppi and Louisiana there are few’ men who
fa e a prospect of earning a living in any other
employment, but desert cotton plantations as
more vexatious and uncertain than profitable.”
Where there is a surplus of land —good, fer
tile land—for sale at one-tenth its money value
before the war, this moving from farms to
towns, of a people ignorant of any mode of
making a living except by agriculture, inexpli
cable in no other way except by bad govern
ment. Political economy looses itself in a mist
of theories when it seeks to apply rules, that
arc correct in densely peopled Europe,to sparse
ly populated America. Especially is this true
when all the power and influence of the Cen
tral government has been brought to bear
against the material interests of the South.

Clean I'arming
We heartily endorse the following hv a cor
respondent of Coleman’s Rural World:
Nothing should he grown or suffered to grow
on a farm that cannot he converted into money.
Weeds and briars, therefore, should not be per
mitted to grow, for there is no money value in
them, therefore they are a nuisance. A crop of
weeds, permitted to go to seed, will exhaust the
soil as much as a crop of grass or grain, which
have a money value. It is amusing to hear men
—farmers—say that they let their fields go to
weeds in order to rest their land, and to be
plowed under the next season for manure.
There can he no objection to the plowing under
of green crops as a manure, but the refuse of
defunct weeds will add but little to the fertility
of the soil. Why not grow grass instead of
weeds? With very little trouble land can be
seeded down to grass, and used for pasture or
hay; this can be converted into milk, beef,
wool, mutton or pork, out of which money can
he made. The droppings of the stock and the
sod full of roots, may be plowed under for an
other crop in rotation. Any sytem of farming
that will admit any part (say one field) of the
farm to remain unproductive for one year can
not be considered good fanning. Every acre
of tillable land on a farm, if properly managed,
will produce something that can be converted
into money. Here is where the great secret of
good farming lies. Talk about giving land rest!
Give it plenty of food and change of occupa
tion, and it requires no rest. With a system
based on these principles, it will grow stronger
and better every year.
Tim Indian Famine. —The drought and con
sequent famine which visited India last year,
was the result of the diversion from its usual
course of the southwest monsoon. This wind,
upon which Bengal is dependent for its rain
fall, or rather the w inds which compose it.
Mow from the Arabian sea and from the Bay
of Bengal toward a line lying to the south of
the Ganges, in which region a depression of the
barometer appears in April and becomes well
established in June, when the rain sets in. In
1873 this line or "trough" of low barometer did
not cover its usual area, but moved considera
bly to the northwest, giving Bengal an unusual
p revs’! sure of westerly winds, and a consequent
decrease m the rainfall. The effect wits height
ened by the fact that a considerable portion of
the monsoon current from the Bay of Bengal
was defected toward the southeast, as is proved
br the existence of an area of low barometer in
that quarter. Thus the monsoon was partially
drained off toward the southest before reaching
the interior, and then was turned away from its
usual course. The causes of this alteration arc
not known, nor can they be discovered until the
area of meteorological observation in India is
extended. Such an extension is imperatively
demanded by the necessities of the country. At
present the frequent occurrence of persistent
local variations of pressure, which though lo
cal affect the annual variation of the monsoon,
is known, but there is no means of making such
a study of the phenomena as will permit the
anticipation and prediction some months in ad
vance of the character which the rainy season
will bear. India greatly needs this service, and
besides its benefit to material interests the reali
zation of such an effort w ould )>e a great tri
umph for the science — The Galaxy far May.

Gold in Georgia
Correspondence New Yoik World J
Entering the State north of and along the Air-
Line Railroad ami extending in a belt sixty
miles wide, nortlre&st and southwest across the
State from Nacoochee valley, through the coun
ties of < berokee, Cobb, Paulding, Haralson and
Carroll, Into Alabama, is a region which has
yielded more than $20,000,000 of gold to mere
surface washing, for though good veins exist
never has a shaft been sunk over one hundred
feet deep. All this land was, until 18114, the
home of the Cherokee Indians. Traders had
learned of the Indians the wealth over which
flowed the w aters of the Tallulah, the Toccoa,
the Chattooga, the Etowah, and
the Amiralola. In one year 3,000 people rushed
into the east end of the Cherokee country.
Everywhere one travels through this Georgia
gold region the tale of the past is told on hun
dreds of hillsides, on Uie itanks of many a river,
in the sands of many a crystal 'tream, and the
recot- ' ay acres that have y elded millions.
*1 v ' jitl ” re ot Whip- c ..*■>. iy washed by re
corded weight c o ton- of old, and many
a nugget never saw its way t the hooks. There
never were anywhere richer washings titan Na
eoocliee, the old Sixes in Cherokee, and some
places in Carroll, and most of these places hav
ing rested throughe t year will now yield
as well as ever. “Gold grows” say the old peo
ple. Noorginized system of mining in first
class style has ever been carried out in Georgia.
A Northern company erected dams and pipes
and flumes in Nacoochee valley and on Yahoo
la river before the war, and their works have
been a little used since, but preparations are
now making to refit and work extensively. This
hydraulic system is undout tedly the most prof
itable, but it destroys muci good land, not only
in the hills, hut by working down sand into the
valleys. Veins of great richness are known to
exist, but no effort is made to work any in
Lumpkin and White counties. In Ilall two
companies are at work, and have each a ten
stamp mill, while in Cherokee work is done on
the old Strickland place, where there is a ten
stamp mill.
Gold mining in Georgia will pay if worked
in two ways. First, in a small way, by one or
two men, with pans, riflies, sluice-boxes and
rockers. I saw at the Sixes, Cherokee county,
a man at work whose outfit would not have
cost five dollars. He was not disposed to tell
what lie was doing, but it was certain that he
had gathered full $l5O in a couple of weeks.
Fine gold he did not get, as he did not have any
quicksilver, but he had found one nugget weigh
ing sixty-six pennyweights. There are dozens
of places from Rabun county southwest to the
Alabama line where two men, working harmo
niously together, can easily make from five to
twenty-five dollars per day each, and be also in
the finest summer climate in the world. Their
outfit need not cost SIOO each, and if they will
stick to and eschew whisky and cards,
they wiii hare a good balance or credit side
oi Their jicc,.ul at uie real's* <-nd.
Second, gold mining can be made profitable
in Georgia if the machinery (stamps and cop
per plate amalgamators) is run by water power,
and if the business is conducted economically,
as any other business would be. Gold mining
has not been profitable to many, because too
much worthless patented machinery has been
bought at high prices, and because the mines
have been worked as a speculation. It is told
of one superintendent that, coming to a rich
place in a vein, lie actually turned the miners
off from it and proved the mine a failure. There
are full a hundred gold veins in Georgia to-day,
permanent and easily worked, which will aver
age more per ton of ore than the best paying
vein or mines of California, arid if worked as
a business they would pay full SIOO per day
profit cn a machinery investment of less than
$20,000.
In the Nacoochee Valley six genuine diamonds
have been found, and on the itacolumite gold
lead in Hall county quite a number are claimed
to have been found and lost, but it is probable
all were not diamonds. Some, however, wee
genuine. With all its wealth—and gold is but
a small part—this region along and north of the
Air-Line road, chiefly, we may say, between the
Chattahoochee and the Etowah, has a climate
as healthy as any on earth, dry, clear air and
freestone water; also a soil everywhere good and
astonishingly rich in the valleys, with a primi
tive tree-growth of hickories, oaks and walnuts,
attractive to the settler or the manufacturer.

The co-education of the sexes, a matter that
has of late years attracted a large share of at
tention from persons interested in institutions
of learning and the cause of education gencrallv,
seems to have been tested with very satisfacto
ry results at the University of Wooster, a Pres
byterian institution and the leading one of that
denomination in the West. A Wooster corres
pondent of the Cincinuatti Gazette, in a rec ent
letter, says:
The much vexed co-education theory has
been pretty thoroughly tested here. The doors
of the institution were thrown open the first
year to young ladies, and now there are fifty in
attendance upon recitations, while those of the
hirsute persuasion number one hundred and
seventy-five. A member of the faculty tells me
that both sexes are about equally matched as
students. In last year's class there was only
one lady member—the first one graduated—and
she stood third in the matter of grades, while
this year the four ladies in the senior class will
probably get speeches at the Commencement,
at the exclusion of a dozen or more young men.
In order to do this their average grade through
out the four year's course must be above 90, the
highest being 100. In the lower classes also the
girls stand high. As regards the contact of the
two sexes in the class room, only the best re
sults have followed. The recitations have been
excellent, and the social intercourse of the stu
dents of the most pleasant nature. The young
ladies have a study-room to themselves, and
come and go among their brother students with
out either exciting comment or meeting with in
sult. Indeed, the highest honor prevails among
"the boys" in this respect, there never having
been yet a case of rudeness on their part toward
their fair companions in arms.
In a murder trial at Bangor. Maine, the other
day, the skull of the victim was brought into
court, where the accused caused a profound sen
sation by taking it into his hands, and moral
izing thus: “This skull had a tongue once! I
wish it had one no%v ! for. if it could speak, it
would tell a different story from what some of
these witnesses told. It would say I never so
much as injured a hair of his head, by any word
or anv deed of mine.”

Conflagration.
Probable Incendiarism and Trion Factory in
Ashes.
The startling and painful news was received
in Rome last Sunday evening that Trion Fac
tory was burned the night before. The follow
ing are all the particulars that seem to be relia
ble, that we have been able to obtain:
1 he fire was discovered and an alarm given
about 8j o'clock on Saturday night. The
watchman had just completed his round through
the building and when tire alarm was given he
was eating his stq \ er in the basement.
The fire originated in the pick-room, which
was in the third or fourth story, the same room
where a fire broke out alwnit a year ago. The
factory was svpplied with complete ar
rangeraents to extinguish fire, having writer
pipes with hose attachments in every room,and
the supply pump was kept at work night and
day. As soon as possible after the fire was dis
covered an effort was made to turn the water
on in the pick-room, but there was no water
there, and to their great astonishment it was as
certained that the water in the “ race” had
been cut off. The head of the race is nearly a
half mile from the factory. Hands were imme
diately sent there who found the “gate" closed.
They raised the gate and returned. The water
works in the factory then worked admirably
for a short time, when the water ceased to flow
again and it was discovered that there was
again no water in the race. Hands were again
sent to the gate which was again closed, it was
opened and they soon had a supply of water at
the factory until it was cut off the third time.
After this a guard was placed at the gate and
there was no other interruption in the flow of
water. But during all this time the fire was
spreading fearfully, and now had got complete
control of the building, so that it was impossi
ble to extinguish it, and very soon the entire
building, with all its valuable machinery was
one vast sheet of flames. The origin of the fire
is a mystery; but we are told that it would
have been easy for a man to ascend a ladder
that was standing on the hack side cf the fac
tory and extending into the pick-room and
throw a slow-match into the loose cotton there.
This chance, and the fact that the water was
three times cut off at the head of the “ race,”
indicates very clearly that it was the work of
incendiaries. We are told the property was
insured in several companies, amounting in all
to $50,000. The factory was owned equally
by Judge Spencer Marsh, of La Fayette, and
A. P. Allgood. They still have on hand about
1,500 bales of cotton and plenty of assets to
enable them to go to work at once and build a
new factor}', and we are told that Judge All
good, with characteristic energy, stated on
Sunday that he should commence on Monday
morning making preparations for rebuilding.
This factory was one of the best in the South
and its destruction is a great calamity, that will
be felt, not alone by the owners and two or
three hundred hands that are turned otj * >■
ploymviv-. but al s o bt•* • ii.k--- ~ ..V.hVv of
two or three counties.
Anew pick room lined with zinc and fire
proof had just been completed and one picking
machine moved into it. This room still stands
uninjured by the fire. The factory was insured
in the following comganies : The Royal and the
Queen, of London; New Orleans, Amazon,
American Central, Manhattan, Westchester, At
las, Virginia Home and Equitable, Tenn.— Rome

Ik Grant is drinking whisky in the degree
and amount that some of the Washington let
ter-writers indicate, it will not take the good
man long to get to the end of his tether. What
ever may be said against whisky, there is one
true thing that may be alledged in its behalf,
so-wit: that it is no respecter of persons. Who
ever knocks.cold spirits hard—whether prince,
president, priest or peasant—will have to an
swer for it as sure as lightning. We have
known a great many men in various capacities
as to strength and endurance, and of diversified
mental gifts and powers; but we never knew
anybody, and never expect to know anybody,
who could get the best of whisky in the long
run. Sometimes a fellow of unusual bottom
appears to be getting away with John Barley
corn very handsomely and creditably; hut old
John comes smiling to the front every time, as
he did in the days when the three kings of the
east swore that he should die, and he lays out
the braggarts and toss-pots who vainly imag
ined they had him at a disadvantage. There
fore, we argue, if Grant is really drinking as the
newspaper correspondents say (and they some
times do tell the truth), he will soon repose
with the tips of his toes and the end of his il
luminated nose turned up to the roots of the
daisies. It will be a good thing for the country,
and may successfully answer that puzzling co
nundrum which has so long vexed the readers
of this paper as to what was the thing that
killed a king and drove a wise man mad.
Intrepid Jews. — Since the time of Daniel,
braving the den of lions to which despotism had
fWimed him for his religion, and his three
friends fearlessly encountering the seven fold
heated furnace, conscientious Jews have ever
been noted for their invincible intrepidity and
perseverance, though not for similar manifesta
tions of divine favorand protection. On a late
occasion the Emperor of Russia was reviewing
his fleet, when two sailors particularly attracted
his attention, both by the precision with which
they performed several difficult manoeuvres and
by tlie agility and daring which they displayed.
The Emperor was so much pleased that he im
mediately promoted one to be a captain, the
other he appointed lieutenant on the spot. The
men, however were Jews, and there is a ukase
forbidding Jews to wear an epaulet. The ad
miral of the fleet, who stood by, knowing that
they were Jews, stated the difficulty to His Im
perial Majesty. "Pshaw,” cried the Emperor,
"that does not signify in the least —they shall
immediately embrace the Greek religion of
eourie." When this determination was commu
nicated to the two young men, knowing that re
monstrance would be in vain, they requested
the Emperor permission to exhibit still more of
their manoeuvres, as he had not seen they all can
do. This being granted, they ascended the top
mast, embraced, and. locked in each other’s,
arms, threw themselves into the sea and disap
peared forever.

On a fine summer day an nr expected shower

for temporary shelter. A Bibb and boquet of
flowers lay upon the table A c irewd looking

then closed it again with a nvl that was min

And why should we,” said he, putting down
the boquet and taking up the Bible, “ why
should we not use the Word of God in the same

Author alone can explain. But shall we waste
our short lives in brooding over them, and neg
lect the greater part, which is quite plain, and
overlook the manifold mercies it proffers for

God to unravel them to our understanding; and
in the meantime let us, while rejoicing that
God’s works and Word both show that he is
‘ the Wonderful,’ gratefully place the flowers

An Italian Sunset. —A correspondent of
the Hartford Times writes from Italy: “ Last
night we were driving slowly home, laden with
flowers, after a warm, golden afternoon, when
the air about us became suddenly glorified, and
looking hack we saw the most wonderful sun
set of our lives. Driving to a commanding
point we gazed.at the marvelous scene, the
setting sun and dazzling western clouds being
only a part of it. The hills around Florence
on every side were bathed in purple light, soft
and tender, and exquisite as a dream, while the
sky above, after the first blaze of western glory,
was aglow with rosy light that flooded the
heavens and rolled in billows, and even seemed
to touch our cheeks in its omnipresence. At
home I have seen equally .brilliant displays in
the west; they have seemed like a far-off won
der in which I had no part —a panorama to be
admired at a distance. Here the whole world
seemed tremulous with color, sky and earth
glowed together, as it was near us; we were in
it. The very air we breathed was rosy red,and
overall there was a softness, a poetry of color,
an ecstaoy of ill urn ination* perfectly indescriba
ble, throwing such a clamour over u that when
at last the light died out of everything we awak
ened as from a trance, and, breaking the long
silence, exclaimed, • So this Ran Italian sunset!
Well, I shall always feel that I have been in
one!’”
A gentleman owned a farm in New Jersey.
It had been long in the family. Embarrass

put up at auction. He felt so had about the
sale that he could not attend it, but sent over
his head servant On his return the master
said, "Well, John, was the farm sold?” "Yes,
sir,” "Did it sell well?” "It went very low.”
"Who bought it?” "I did.” "You, John? Where
did you get your money?” "I laid up my wages
since 1 worked for you.” “Well, John, I’ll tell
you what I will do. As soon as vou get the
title to your property I’ll come and work for
you and buy the farm back.”
