N'evtr in the history of Florida has she exci-
U-d tue attention which she is commanding the
present year. It would he reasonable to esti
mate that at least ten thousand famile* will
permanently local* within her borders duriug
the present winter. The Indian River country
if. fast filling up.
A CufKCU PiXLED Down.— On Tuesday
last a special telegram from Oka, an Indian
village on the Ottawa river Canada, says the
Protestant Indian Church was completely
wrecked by a crowd of French Canadians,
Human Catholics, the roof, steeple and walls
being leveled to the ground. One man w: •
badly injured by tire bell falling on him.
Tint riot th vs. the M k*t. —A Bullock
4-oi inly (Alabama) farmer made this year, with
fixe mules, m bales of cotton, 1,140 bushels of
t orn 1ft,600 pounds fodder, 200 bushels pota-
w *., 7.T bushel* peas ami 2,40 gallons syrup.
Total value ♦7,171. And still many Alabam
ians are deserting their rich lands and unsur
pu.v-.ed climate fur the purpose of set-king homes
in the West; where they are certain to encoun
ter the rigors of winter in the pursuit of un
profitable agriculture.

Mekyi.anii NY ay ok (Tiuno Hams —Charles
Jessup furnishes the Maryland Agricultural So
ciety the following recipe: Iwo and a half
pounds of saltpetre dried’ and finely powdered,
half bushel best Liverpool salt, three pounds
brow n sugar, and a half gallon moliases Mix
al. in a vessel, rub the meat well with the same,
and pack with skin down.
'j'he above is the exact amount for one hun
dred pounds of pork. After being in salt three
or four weeks, take out, wash clean the pieces,
dry and hang it up for smoking. Three weeks
W sufficient to smoke them throughly—by fire
made f hickory wood. When smoked, take
down and bag, or pack away in dry chad or cut
staw . Examine them occasionally, and if found
to be at all damp renew the packing with dry
material.
A OtoANTH Swindi.e.—'The St. Louis Times
,ay* ,t is Claimed that the existence of a heavy
land ring was brought to light recently 1 J die
investigations of the grand jury of SI an on
county, Missouri. That body recently returned
indictments against three parties, two of them
residents of St. Louis, charging them with com
plicity in certain alleged swindling operations
extending over a period of years, by which va
rious parties have been defrauded out of mill
ions of dollars, it is claimed that the indicted
parties in eotmbctlon with others; foimed a
riug some five years ago for the systematic
forging of deeds to lands in Northern Atkatisas
nil l Southeast Missouri. The ring, in addition
to the parties interested here, is said to have
agencies established in Cincinnati, Pittsburg,
Philadelphia, New York aucl Manchester, Eng
land. Some of the agencies, it is alleged, have
done an excellent business, and it is estimated
that the ring lias forged and disposed *>f deeds
to at least twelve million acres of land, worth
twentv five or thirty million dollars.
How a Woman (il Itleli
riix years ago Mrs. Mary Arhart was living
in a little tent on the edge of a town. Her
whole worldly pi .sessions consisted of this tent,
a straw bed. two or three boxes which served
as chairs and table, a little seven or eight year
girl, and two cows and calves. She sold the
spare milk of these two cows, carrying it
around in a tin pail, and with the product, and
from’ work which she did for her neighbors,
supported heraelf and child. When she could
got three or five dollars ahead, she would buy
another calf or yearling. It is not our purpose
vo trace her progress up to the present time,
minutely; the result is, she now, in less than
seven y ears, has several hundred head of cattle,
a fine farm, with nice buildings and improve
ments, a comfortable, oxen luxuriant home,
and. instead of carrying milk around by hand,
ride? in her own carriage: Her daughter i# a
young lady, educated and accomplished. To
day Sirs. Arhart’s property is value at from
$40,000 to 50,000. And she lias made it all by
honesty and good management, riite has had
n „ outside help. She never had a Government
contract or fell heir to any property,- 'Larimk
(Col) Smhuel.
The Room*
Me wish especially, says Scribner’s to urge
upon mothers the propriety of giving up to the
boys, as soon as they reach the age of twelve
or fourteen, one room ynot a bedchamber), for
whose v reasonably) good order they shall he
responsible, and which they shall consider
x\ holly their own. The floor should be un
earpeied. of oiled wood ; the furniture of the
same material. Let it be papered, curtained,
decorated to the boys’ own fancy ; if the taste
is bad they w ill be interested after a while in
correcting it. There should be plain bookcases,
& big solid table in the centre, by all means an
open fire, and room after that for Joe’s print
ing press, or Charley’s box of tools, or Sant’s
cabinet of mineral*; for chess and checker
boards, or any other game which is deemed
proper. To this room the boys should be al
lowed to invite their friend*, and learn how to
be hospitable hosts even to tl\e extent of an in
nocent little feast now aud then. Father,
mother and sisters should refrain from enter
ing it except as guests; !Ul 'i our went for it,
they will be doubly honored aud welcomed
when they do come.
Somebody will ask. no doubt, what is the
um? of pampering boy# in this way. or of catcr
in-r to them with games aud eompanv ? Simply
have because they will the amusement, the
games and company somehow |and somewhere :
tnd if not under their father's, roof, with such
quiet surroundings as befit those who are u> be
bred as gentlemen, the games may be gambling
and the company and supper those which the
nearest tavern affords. As for the cost, no
money is ill-spent which develops in a right di
rection a hoy's healthy character of idiosyn
crasies at the most perilous period ofjhis life, or
which helps to soften and humanize him, and
to make more dear and attractive his home aud
familv. Dit can be ill-spared, let it be with
drawn t.-r this purpose from dress, household
luxury, the sum laid by for a rainy day—even
from other charities and duties. We do not
wish to help the lad aiw his wild oats, but take
care that the oats are not wild, and are thor
oughly well sown.

]Atlanta Constitution.]
the State Grange, Patrons of Husbandry,
assembled yesterday morning at nine o'clock
in the commodious ball room at the Markham
House, generously tendered to them by Cbas.
Owens. There are delegates ip attendance.
Among those present note; Hon Thomas
Hardeman, ripeaker of the House of Repre
sentatives; Hon. George W. Adams, Repre
sentative from Monroe; lion. J. B. Jones, Rep
resentive from Burke; Hon. I). B. Hamilton,
Representative from Floyd; Hon. L. T. Liv
ingston, Representative from Newton. '1 he
following ladies are in pttepdan.ee; Mrs. TANARUS:
J. Smith, Mrs. R. 11. Carswell. Mrs. J. D
Jones, Mrs. W. D. Murray, Mrs M. Henderson,
T. J. Smith, Master, not being present at the
morning session. Rev. A. i. Leet, Overseer, pre
sided Col. Smith reached here at noon and
presided iu itiu alh-'Jl'P -hi. All the officers are
present except the chaplain.- Ikg morning
was spent in perfecting the organization
Standing committees were appohued on fi
nance, agriculture, agricultural implements,
good of the order, constitution and by-laws
and fertilizers. A number of resolutions were
offered on these various subjects and appro
priately referred-. R Ea. fine body of men.
They are energetic and active workers ip the
Grange as well a at home. The debate#
sliowed that the animus of the ordej* i# for the
elevation and prosperity of the farmer, w ith
out detriment to any other class. The follow
ing resolutions were adopted as explanatory of
the principles of the order:
lie*,lced, that the iru flbject of this organi
zation is as taught in the ritual—ty.e improve
ment of the farm, the Increase of home pro
ducts, that the farm be made perfect in all its
part-, a Grange in the true acceptation of them,
presided over by a husbandman aided by a
matron devoted to their calling, and educating
the youth of the State that labor is not only
honorable, but necessary to the happiness and
psosperity of the individual and welfare of the
State.
Resolved , That the object of the Order of
Patrons of Husbandry are not to trammel or
derange commerce, or to hamper or interfere
in any way with the mechanic arts, but in ev
ery way possible to prot ct and aid the same;
nevertheless we assert that it is altogether le
gitimate to so arrange, if possible, to lessen the
burden of taxation in the way of commissions,
etc., on commodities w hile jy transitu between
producers and consumers.
The following was adopted unanimously:
Resolved, That the Legislature be requested to
enact a dog law for the protection of sheep
husbandry in Georgia.
Rejoiced, That the Secretary be instructed to
lay the above resolution before both houses iff
the Legislature al Us next session.
Tilt* Law o’ a ('cumulation
An English journal puts the oft repeated
lesson of the accumulation of money at inter
est —which is seldom or never sufficiently
learqed—in the following practical form :
Everybody knows that money makes money;
but it is uot everybody that pays attention to
the mode by which this is brought about and
the practical consequences which follow.—
School hoys are taught the rule of compound
interest; but nine out of ten of them forget all
about it for the remainder of their lives. Yet
this principle has more to do with the accumu
lation of large fortunes than any cause what
ever; and has bearings on the increase of
wealth, and on the ratio and style of expendi
ture. both personal and national, of which the
character cannot be overrated.
M'e read in a paper a few months ago of the
death of an eminent capitalist, who left the
enormous fortune of three millions sterling.
This old gentleman was over ninety years old
at Hie time of his death, and it is pretty evident
that he was a man of quiet habits and moder
ate expenditures, letting his capital accumulate
from year to year by its natural force. Now,
it is only when it has been in operation for a
long series of consecutive years that we see
what the force of compound interest is. For
the first four years the augmentation is almost
imperceptible; but when once the power of
increase has been developed, it goes on at an
augmenting ratio, until the results are almost
incredible. There can be no doubt that iu the
case just mentioned the wealth accumulated
after the natural duration of life had been
reached was far inora than all the seventy
years previous.
If money can be invested at eight per cent.,
and the interest re-invested at the same rate, it
will double in five years. Allow ten years for
this to take place, owing for loss of time in re
investing, and we reach the remarkable conolii
sion—remarkable, we mean, to those who have
not thought about it —that if a man can lay by
a thousand pounds at one-and-twenty, and let
it accumulate at compound interest, it will
amount to the enormous sum of thirty thous
and pounds if he lives to the age of seventy, to
sixty thousand at eighty, and to a hundred
thousand at ninety. This is the secret of the
large fortunes of the great bankers and capi
talists, whose money goes on accumulating
from generation to generation, and augments
with prodigious rapidity after thirty or f.rtv
years have passed on. The process, however,
may be reversed. A man who wastes or spends
a thousand pounds needlessly by the time he is
one or iwo-and-twenty—what is the effect? If
he lives till he is seventy he will be thirty
thousand pounds poorer for it; or w e w ill say
lie lost the "chance of being thirty thousand
pounds better off than he is.
M’e then arrive at the general truth, that the
younger a man is the more valuable money is
to him. We have sten w hat a th nisand pounds
is to a man of twenty-one —namely, the mak- j
mg of a fortune; but a thousand pounds to a !
man of fifty would lie of comparatively small i
account.
Suppose a man begins life with economical j
habits and hy rapid self-denial accumulates j
two thousand pounds by the time he arrives si
twenty-five. That sum will amount to coin
petency by the time he desires to be free from
the cares of business, and he can then, and in
deed for years before, hav<- the pleasure of
lay lbs? out his money freely and w ithout fear,
in gratifying his taste or in doing good.
Bat if he be incline*! to gratify his taste w ben
young, to buy, we will say. expensive furniture
or to mingle 100 freely in society. so that he
•ever saves at ail until he ia five-and-forty,
FORSYTH. GEORGIA. TUESDAY MORNING DECEMBER 21. 1575.
what good w ill tw o thousand pounds do him
then? It is, of course, good in itself, but as
the foundation of a great fortune it is utterly
inadequate.
The points of the whole matter are therefore
these: Every pound saved in youth is thirty
pounds in old age; every hundred pounds
spent in foolery is simply three thousands
pounds thrown away of provisions for the
time when work must be a border.
Let our young men in business think of this.
They are exposed on entering life, to innumer
able temptations to spend Let such be stead
ily resisted. The course in youth is quick sav
ing and careful economy. By and by a time
will come when ibis will Jbear its legitimate
fruits. Then is the time for open-handed free
dom in expenditure, when knowledge of the
world is acquired and when capital has been
accumulated to such an extent that even if
there l>e i*o more saving there peed be no fur
ther anxiety.
It should not be forgotten that the majority
of the merchant princes who have reached the
highest honors to w hich an English citizen can
aspire have been, in their earlier days, poor but
{hpifty men. They never squandered their
money, nor wasted their substance in reckless
riot and feasting, for they understood thorough
ly the great law of accumulation.
Lime a* a Manure,
Lime, judiciously used, is everywhere es
teemed as the cheapest and best of manures.
It stimulates tjje sqi|, fqqd foy plants
in all their pans, renders the land easily
worked, decomposes vegetable and animal mat
ter, make# solubie much of the stores of insol
uble matter in the earth, unlocks ammonia that
would otherwise lie cased up in the silicates of
the fields, and, indeed, in many wavs benefits,
permanently, til the lands upon w hich it is ap
plied- Measfg. JJditors, let us see what our
best authorities ,-ay of tins cheap fertilizing j
agent:
Johnston, of the Farmer’s Encyclopedia says: S
“Lime promotes the permanent fertility of the j
land, and unless washed away, can only be re- !
moved by becoming food for the cultivator’s
crops.’’
The Farmer and Gardener says: “ Lime acts
as a decomposing agent and unlock* the am
monia of the soil, rendering immediately avail*
able stores of wealth, which can otherwise be
brought only slowly into use."
Porter, the Yale College chemist, says;
“ Lime is the key that unlocks the treasures of
the soil, forcing itself into the hard grains of
granite, and other silicates which are found in
the earth; it sets its inmates at liberty that
they may be absorbed by the soil as food fur
plants.”
Norton’s Scientific Agriculture says: “Lime
acts both upon the organic and inorganic mat
ter of the soil, decomposing certain insoluble
compounds, bringing them into a state favora
ble to the sustenance of plants. It is an abso
lutely essential ingredient in the soii, being
constantly needed by plants in all their parts.”
McKenzie, forming his opinion from the best
authorities, writes: “Lime renders soils more
easily worked, and decomposes vegetable and
animal matter. It is of more use than all other
manures put together.”
The National Encyclopedia says: “Asa
manure, lime is the chief substance employed
for acting chemically upon the constituents of
the soil.”
Will not our farmers note these opinions,
and benefit themselves by giving lime a fair
*est upon the ir lands. W. E. H. Searcy.

American Genius, .flooriy A San key.
The great revivalists, Messrs. Moody and
riankey, who electrified staid old England with
their eloquence and-enthusiasm, are fair sam
ples of American genius. Springing from
among the common people, their sympathies
are alive to the wants of the whole people , and
herein lie# the secret of their great success.
Those who seek to tie popular must study and
iie familiar w ith the wants of the masses, and
prove loyal thereto. To this fact we may trace
the grand success in business, as well as* relig
ious undertakings, which man; Americans
have achieved. Strikingly illustrative of th se
suggestions is that great establishment, located
at Buffalo, N. Y., ami known as the “World's
Dispensary,”—a m<>*t appropriate name, in
deed, for that vast institution within whose
i walls are manufactured remedies which are in
demand ir every quarter of the globe, and at
which a corps of distinguished physician- and
surgeons, under the personal direction of Dr.
'Pierce, are constantly administering to the
need- of thousands of sufferers everywhere,
and whose success in the treatment of all forms
<r chronic ailments lias become -o well known
tliai there i* scarcely a hamlet in the land in
which his name is nwt familiar. Its proprietor,
s.-iys the Herald and Torchlight, of Detroit "is
i mao of tht peo/Je. writes f,,r them, and to them
model- his eminent professional services.”
His advertisement* are earnest exhortations.
Like the great revivalists, Ids enthusiasm is
multiplied by the unparalled success of his en
terprise. as well as by the efficacy of his reme
dies in curing disease. The people believe in him
and his remedies, because. as the New York
Tribune says, “he sympathizes w ith them in
all their afflictions, efforts and attainments”
Hence, Dr Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
is to-day more largely employed as a blood and
liver medicine, and also a- a cough remedy
than any other remedial agent in the world.
Hi* Favorite Prescription, he does not recoin i
mend as a “cure all," as i- so often (tone bv !
e* mpouuders of worthless, humbug nostrums, \
but for all diseases and weaknesses peculiar to ;
women it has proved itself so much of a spe- :
cine that it now enjoys great popularity and
universal confidence.
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets, !
“’scarcely larger than mustard seed," have j
proved so agreeable and reliable as a cathartic |
that they are rapidly taking the place of the
large, nauseous pill heretofore so much in u*e: i
while his Compound Extract of Smart-Weed is I
favorite remedy for Colic, Cramps, Summer- '
complaint, Diarrhoea, Dysentery. Cholera and j
Cholera Morbus, and also as a liniment. Of j
Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, and Dr. Pierce'*
Nasal Douche. li:t)e need be said, as they are j
known everywhere a- the greatest specifies for !
Catarrh and "cold in the head,” ever given to
th public. Ami beside* this large measure.of
success. Dr. Pierce seems likely to achieve as
great renown a# an author a-* be has a physi- j
cian. His Common Sense Medical Adviser,
u book of about you pages, which he s> ils at
the unparalleled low price of jl 50. has already
been sold to the extent of exhausting two edl- j
tious amounting to forty thousand copies.—
The secret of Dr. Pierce's success, as well as i
that of the great revivalists, and scores of other
Americans, who by their genius have advanced
-rep hy step front obscurity to affluence aud
distinction, consists in treating the people with
consideration, sympathy, candor, and honesty.
No man. who hope* to attain either wealth or
distinction, can afford to deal unfairly with the
world or he indifferent to the wants aud best
interests of humanity.
