JMuutUig mid Farming. A traveling correspondent of the Si. Louis Republican writes aa fol lows to that journal, from the city of New Orleans. Hie letter is dated i.ist Thursday: **' I s Tuk Swth Pood—The South is iot recuperating, as wns ex|x>ctc<l, .ut is poorer .than ii»rr. This will Jje tie case iu» Jong as this generation .lives. The farm of the planter is a *oor thing. - It don’t pay, ami will :»c aboUfdicd in the South when the iiresen^generation is gone and not iiefore. Farmers are tlie only people hat can do anything in tins country. .A. planter is fc spleiulld humbug, and can do uro» make less than iny ckma of men we can have. A farmer will make bis living and have cotton to sell besides, but a planter cannot make anything except cotton ind his3U4h® bay, which keeps him poor. Butafl 1 have said ,Uicreare no farmers in this country and no material to make them. The die is east and this generation is doomed doomed to die poor and give their places to others who wiß rebel against King Cotton afid'Cultivate this fruit ful land in a way that the monied wealth of the Union will concentrate here. It would be a bad thing, how ever, for the States in the upper part of the valley if the people should change llmu habits. As things now ary, entire value of the cot ton crop; ’except what goes to the Hast, goes above to enrich the far mers in the States along the Ohio and Upper Mississippi rivers. By proper management, these things, ex cept bacon, could all lie produced here and the money would not. go to yourwfectiM but remain in the South for manufacturing the cotton into dry goods. In. the course of time the thing will be done, but all of us will be gone before the change is made. Horrid Aflklr. This week's Dawson Journal tells the following.: On Sunday a little girl came to the well of Mr. John Moreland of this, Terrell county, and carried off to a skirt of woods hard by some wa ter in a shoe. She was followed by some member of Mr. Moreland’s fam ily, who found the mother of the lit tle girl, Mrs. Bufbary Ann Massy, prostrate on the ground, and suffer ing from pneumonia. She waa car rial to the house of this good Samari tan, Mr. John Moreland, and the ser vices of Dr. Cheatham were secured, and all don£ that could be to alleviate the suffering and preserve the life of this unfortunate woman, but of no avail; she died Monday night. She rtpo«l«4' ofvkaving three brothers in Sumter county, John, Ely and Thom as Grimes. The little girl says they lived near Mr. Shep Green. We could learn but little of the life and charac ter of this woman, but enough to ima gine she was destitute of those prin ciples that make woman what she should be. She was living with a family of negroes near Mr. More landSt jvh« ixjxirt tilth on last Satur day wight some one rode up to the fence and left a note, on which was inscribed “ coffins,” &c, and a threat that if this woman was not put out of the house immediately it would lie burafuL and the head of the family oboySf the anonymous summons re gardlcs of circumstances. Slngulur Medical Facts. To show how little lung a person may live on Dr. Nicholson says; “I know a young man enjoying good health, and is comparatively strong, who has not more than two-thirds of a lung. He lost bis left lung from the effects of a gunshot wound receiv ed at the battle of Shiloh. The ball entered the shoulder blade and lodged in the top of the lung Dr. Guid, of Tuscaloosa. Alaiiama, an eminent surgeon, attended him two or three months at the outset, lie finally came under my care. I had charge of him several months—until he was well. He lost all his left lung, and maybe a little more than the lower lobe of the right lung. No mortal ever came near dying surely than he. From a skeleton he picked up flesh, commenced the business of a mer chant, got married, and has had some children. Dsmocratio Roostik.— The New York Herald's Concord, N. H. corres pondent, gives an account of the Democratic rejoicing in that city. A live rooter was one of the com ical features on the platform, and just m the President of the meeting commenced hia address, the huge bird advanced to the front, flapped hia winga and gave a crow which echoed again and again through the ball. The incident had the effect to produce round alter round of ap plauae, and the speakere all too kocca sion to allude to it as a favorable omen to the cause of Democracy. Bacxswicx and Albany Railroad. —-We are pleased to learn that fifty seven miles of the divission of this road between this city and Eufaula, passed Jo Contractors last week, and that the work will be commenced as soon as forces can be organized. Capt. Bnrehsell and Mri Evans, with a full corps will commence the loca tion to-morrow, and proceed indus triously till the other Is reached. The work east of this Is progress for prolonging its completion to the Flint beyond the 4th of July—Alba ny Nt/r*. . la Thorn Boom in Angel Lund. (These Hues were written after hearing the following touching inci dent related by a minister: A moth er, who was preparing some flour to bake into bread, left it for a moment, when little Mary, with childish curi osity to see what it was, look hold of the dish, when it fell to the floor, spilling its couteuts. The mother struck the child a severe blow, say ing, with enger, that she was always in the way! Two weeks after, little Maty sickened and died. On her bed, while delirious, she asked her mother if there would be room for her among the angels. “ I was al ways in your way, mother; you imd no robin for little Mnryl And will I be in the angels’ way ? Will they have room for me?” The broken hearted mother tticn felt no sac rifice too great, could she have saved her child.] Is (here room among the angels For tlic spirit of your child T Will they lake your UUIe Marv in tlicir loving arms so mild ? Will they ever love me fondly, As my story-books have said ? will they knit a home for Mary— Mary numbered with the dead ? Tell me truly, darling mother, Is there room for such as tnc ? Will 1 gain the home of spirits, And the shluing angels see T I have sorely tried you, mother— Been to you a constant care. And you will not miss me, mother, When I dwell among the fair; For you have no room for Mary Bite was ever in your way. And she fears the good will shun her; Will they, darling mother, say I Tell me—loll me truly—mother, Ere life’s closing hour doth come, l)o you think that thee ill keep me lu the shining angels' home ? I wns not so wayward, mother, Not so very—very bad, But that tender love would nourish, And make Mary's heart so glad I Oil! I yearned for pure affection, In this world of bitter woe I And 1 long for bliss Immortal, In the land where 1 must go. Tell me once again, dear mother, Ere you take the parting kiss, Will the angels hid me welcome To that land of perfect bliss ? Hfcat.Olrls Should Drink. Dr. Dio Lewis, in his book “ Our Girls,” says: I am astonished that a young wo man who is ambitious of a clear, One skin should drink tea. It is a great enemy to fair complexion. As rfoon as tea driukiug becomes a regular habit, the eye of the discriminating olifci vcr detects it in the skin. Tea compromises the complexion, proba bljfj’by deranging the liver. Weak tea or coffee may be used occasionally, in moderate quantity, without harm: and those who live much in the open air, and are occupied with hard work, may drink either, in considerable quantities, without noticeable harm ; but advise all young women who would preserve a soft, clear skin and quiet nerves, to avoid ail drink but cold water. It is an excellent prac tice to drink one or two glasses of cold water on lying down at night, and on rising in the morning. If J’ou have good teeth, and can help the food into your stomach without us ing any fluids, except the saiiva, it will, in the long run, contribute much to your health. Napoleon’s Flower.— The violet is the emblematic flower of the Bour bons. When Eugenie agreed to ac cept Najmieon’s offer of marriage, she expressed it only by appearing one evening dressed in an exquisite violet toilet—violets in her hair, in her dress, even to a bunch in her hand. Louis Napoleon understood. Napo leon the-First, while consul, selected this as his flower. It was through Josephine asking him to bring her a bouquet of them on her birthday—a desire he was only able to serve after great difficult}-. He cultivated them assiduously while a prisoner at St. Helena; and they were profusely plan ted over the grave of Josephine. Af ter his death, his coffin was coverd with the humble flowers he loved. It is even Baid that in the earlier days of Louis Napoleon he was silently told who his friends were by a cau. tious display of violets. When the Prussians entered Paris they had to read these and other like inscriptions: “January- 4, 1811—Hole made by a Prussian shell, which killed in this house four young girls, two old men and three old women.” “January C, 1871—Little children sleeping in the dormitories of the Brothers of the Chris.ian Doctrine, were boraarded by the Prussians, and six of them crushed by the bombs.” ■ Remedy for Indigestion. —Half an ounce of ground Tnrkey rhubarb; oue drachm of sulphate of quinine; one drachm of extract of sarsaparilla. Put the sarsaparillia into a cup with three or four leaspoonfuls of cold wa ter ; let it stand till dissolved ; then add the other ingredients. Make it a stiff paste; it will then be ready, to make into pills with the use of a lit tle flour. The whole costs but * small sum and makes nearly one hundred pills. The dose is two pills every othernight There’s a funny story going the rounds, of an old colored man who was left in charge of a telegraph office, in New Orleans, while the operator went t>ut “to see a man.” A “call" came over the wires, and the darky shouted at the instrument, as loud as he could, “De operator isn’t yer!” The noise eeased instaater. Rome is thinking building •n immense cotton fketory. Pulaski Sbnaiff’s Sale.
