A Hermit.
VOLUNTARY EXILE FROM SOCIETY IN WHITE COUN

In the Northern part of White county there
has dwelt for several years past a genuine her- J

Growing Cucumbers in Drills—The Lest
wav I have found to raise cucumbers is to
plow a deep furrow where I wished them to
grow. Fill it ever, full with rotten manure,
and cover that with fine dirt—mixing it some
what with the manure. Sow the seed on top
in a shallow drill, dropping it in liberally not
more than an inch apart, and cover an inch
deep with fine mould. If the seed is good the
plants wiil come up so thick and grow so vig-
striped bugs or

beeu mv experience. When large enough,
thin out to a proper distance, about one vine

either cabbage, sweet corn or early potatoes,
which afford room for the cucumber vines to
run between the hills.—A. Oire/i, w Cultivator.

wild and romantic in the extreme. Savage,
ragged hills abound in the district, which is
almost a wilderness. Here dwells our ancho

or five miles from bis solitary huf. A little

of probably three acres in extent, suffices for
the wants of this strange being. Cultivated
with great care and attention it produces an
abundance of corn, potatoes and other vegeta

away for the winter. Here, secluded from the

! only a poor crop of beans just as it does
l thing else. True, a barren, sandy soil will
often grow quite a crop of sorrel!, but then
| the sotrell don’t grow as well as if would on
j richer lands if it were permitted to grow at ail
on them.
Farmers usually select light, gravelly soil
for the growth of beans, believing they wilt
produce a more abundant crop on that than on
richer, stronger lands. But we venture the
opinion that they make a mistake in the selec
tion of such soils for their beans. A corres
pondent of the Country Gentleman, writing
from Orleans county, N. Y., says : “It is pretty
well understood in this country that white
here, I would vote against admitting any such
man to a seat.”
Mr. Lincoln took the correct view of this
matter. These carpet-baggers are not the
representatives of the Southern people and
Southern sentiment. They are not themselves j
respectable citizens,” and were not elected
by “respectable citizens,” but have been elect
ed at the point of the bayonet, which Mr. Lin
coln very truly characterized as “disgraceful
and outrageous.” It is so in every meaning
of the word.
Of course these carpet-baggers, the asso
ciates of negroes, are, as a class, the very

soil. On such soils they ripen up much better
and more evenly—making much less time and
labor necessary to cure and secure them in
good order. On sandy and gravelly soils and
the lighter loams of different qualities, beans,
he thinks, do not ripen and fill out so well.

What adds to the heinousness of the offense
is the fact that the money that was gambled

estate of a widow.

The traveler entered with many thanks.
The interior was warm and comfortable, but
the few articles of furniture were all of rustic
manufacture; a crackling fire was blazing on
the hearth of the cabin, its bright blaze diffu

apartment an appearance of snugness and se
curity not unpleasant after a whole day’s
tramp across the country. The owner of the

corn of the amount of moisture necessary for

keep off tbe cut-worms is to drop a tablespoon
ful of coarse salt upon the top of each hill
soon after planting. This is carried down by
the rains, and acts as a fertilizer besides de
stroying the cut-worm. Salt is peculiarly
obnoxious to this class of insects,and perhaps
all classes.—Practical Farmer.
A Good Cow.
The American Stock Journal has the follow

Brusbland, Pa.:
fpiritualisia made Profitable.
Spiritualism is on its trial in London in the
person of that most marvellously favored of
its embodied representatives, Daniel D. Home.
The story of Mr. Home’s fortunate windfall, in
the shape of an immediate plumb of 8J300.000
and the prospective inheritance of $750,000,
is well known. Mrs. Lyon, how - ever, purposes
to make a sequel which will not be so pleasant.
She repents her hasty liberality, and brings
suit to undo it.
As she tells the story, when her husband
was on his death-bed in 1859, he predicted
that they would meet ut seven years, and she
firmly believing in his prescience, expected
death at that time. Falling in with a spiritu
alist, however, she was informed that it was
not necessary to die in order to meet her hus
band, bat simply to visit Horae’s Athensenm.
Thither she went, and under the great medi
um's potent fingers, the husband rapped out:
“My own beloved Jane! I am Charles,
your beloved husband. I live to bless you, my
own precious darling. I am with you always.
I love, love, love you.” Furthermore it con
tinued: “I love Daniel; he is to be your son;
he is my son, therefore 3 r ours.'’
Ecstatically kicking up its legs, the table
proceeded to announce its complete happiness
at the state of affairs. Mr. Home look it upon
himself to explain more fully the wishes of
the spirit, to the effect that Mrs. Lyon should
destroy her existing will and make another in
favor of the medium, bequeathing him every
thing she possessed. Home assumed her name
in addition to his own, the will was made, and
he was put out of the danger of immediate
want by the gift cf $300,000.
Mrs. Lyon is well advanced in life, and Home
This migratorv movement is as abnormal as
it is melancholy; and, though it may portend
still deeper disaster for South Carolina, it is
not surprising. Let us hope, however, that it
will prove to he only temporary, and that this
dejected and unhappy State is destined yet to
experience a situation which will invite immi
gration, in>tead of repelling its own popula
tion. Meanwhile, a few salient facts,, political
and statictieal, afford a ready explanation of
I the movement. There i< no other Southern
| State except South Carolina, unless Florida be
[ one, in which the nufnerical predominance of
j the negroes is great and decided. There are
four hundred thousand of this population in
South Carolina against three hundred thou
sand whiles. Politically this proportion is
made much greater by disfranchisement under
the reconstruction law, and by the frauds of
Radical registration; the registered white vo
ters of the State being only about forty thou
sand, whereas, its registered negro voters are
upwards of eighty thousand. Those whites
who are prone to emigration by reason of
these facts are doubtful of the success of a
struggle against such numerical odds. It is
not th* mere game of political ascendancy
which they are prepared to throw up in des
pair. The carpet bag Radicals have no iiupre-
scriptable charter to colored voters in South
Carolina any more than in Virginia or Louisi
ana. The political status of the negro once
out of the question, it is by no means impro
bable that the policy of Wade Hampton and
other South Carolina Conservatives, based on
the recognition ot identity of interests, will at
length prevail, and that a majority of the col
ored voters and a majority of the white voters
will work harmoniously together, and form the
preponderant political powers in the State.—
But all this is involved in a problem of the
future. In the interim, negro supremacy, or
ganized by carpet bag Radicalism, looms up as
a baleful certainty, disturbing society, paraly
zing industry, depreciating property, -closing
every avenue and suppressing every element
of hopeful, prosperous activity. Hence this
impulse of emigration. It is significant that
the emigrants in this case do not seek homes
in foreign countries, in the \\ 7 est, c>r in the far
North ; but that they turn toward Virginia, in
a somewhat higher latitule, indeed, but where
they may find a sympathetic public opinion, a
climate and a soil not much different from
their own, and social elements, including a
considerable colored ingredient, such as they
leave behind them. They are not repelled by
the negro Ul vcw.u.v
have no fear of its predominance there, nu
merical, social, and otherwise. This is a very
suggestive fact.

glen among the hills. He learned that t'.x
months beforeyi young gentleman of twenty-
four or five, elegantly dressed ar.d with all the
si"ti' of fashionable breeding, had arrived by
coach in the village, seeking the hermit's re-

“ Yes, yon are on the right road. I jn3t
came from there. I have been np there having
a little fun with the boys.”
About two miles further on he met another
man, one arm in a sling, one eye badly bunged,
and his clothing in a dilapidated condition.
“How far is it to Oshkosh?” asked the min
ister.
“Only (h-i-c) five miles,” answered the pit
iable object. “ Oshkosh is a live town. I’ve
been up there having fun with the boys.”
With a sad lmart the minister drove on, fal
ling into revery on the dep*avity of man in
general, and the Oohkosians in particular,
when he suddenly came upon a man sitting by
the side of the road. One arm was sprained,
one ear had been bitten off, and, seated by the
side of a puddie of water, he was seeking re
lief by bathing the part affected. The minis
ter was perfectly awe-stricken. Stopping his
horse he inquired of the man what terrible
accident had befallen him.
‘ O, not any at all,” faintly responded the
bleeding wreck; “I have only been up to Osh
kosh having a little fun with the boys.”
“ I suppose you mean you have been engaged
in some brutalizing fight,” said the minister.
“Yes ” said the man, “ 1 have heard that’s
what they call it down at Fond du Lac, where
they are civilized; but they don’t call it by
that name up at Oshkosh. There they call it
having a little fun with the boys.”
“ What do yon suppose your wife will saj -
when she sees you?” asked the reverend gen
tleman.
At this the man looked up with a sardonic
smii«*. Putting his remaining well hand in a
pocket, he palled out a piece of nose, a large
lock of hair, to which a part of the scalp was
uiciM piuuiiucu> i attached, and a piece of flesh he had bitten
