We wish to cull the attention of ev

of making their Fertilizers at home.
It is without a doubt the correct prin

“I Consider your Home-made as good
as the Stonewall,which cost me $75 per j

Planters are invited to look into this

it now, and give in their orders as there
may be some scarcity in the /Spring.

Cluster Cotlon*
SUCCESS in Colton Raising depends much
*2 upon tlie use of choice seed and good Ma
nures. When your farm yard Manure is ex
hausted, purchase the bust commercial Manure
that can be procured and use it freely. The
best commercial manure that I have used is the
EUREKA. It can be procured from Messrs.
F. W. MS A CO., Savannah (ffi. In using
it for cotton, open deep, wide furrow, uud ap
ply about 200 lbs. per acre, nhd then run a deep
subsoil or small scooter plow through the Fer
tilizer to mix it with the soil before bedding on
it, as this will enable the cotton plant (especial
ly in a warm climttlo, or on limestone land), to
stand a drouth without shedding many of its
forms.
CULTIVATION OF COTTON.
In a warm climate, or in dry soil, cultivate
the land flat (without beds) uud have narrow
rows iu ord' i that the land may be well shaded
to prevent the heat Ir >in causing the cotton
to shed its fruit : but in cold climate, or in cold
ai <1 dariipt or bottom land, plant on higli beds
and keep them so in the cultivation, and have
wide rows, with a thick stand in the drill, in or
der to prevent too large a weed and make the
cotton mature early. When the plant is about
six inches high, plow deep if the land is stiff,
and subsoil if y<m can, and after that, plow very
shallow with wide sweeps, so us not to break the
small roohs bet are a the rows. In deep sandy
soil “skim” nil the time.
On upland with a good stand, top your cot
ton about the first, of August ; but on rich or
bottom land do not top it until the 10th of Au
gust, as curly topping on such land will cause
the cotton to “sucker” too much.
I no .v have some of the best selected Cotton
Seed that J have had for many years, and plan
ters will find it to tlioir interest to give them a
trial.
Price of my Cluster Cotton Seeds, 65 per
Lusliel for less than five bushels, or $4 per bush
el for five or mofo bushels. J also hare “Dick
son’s Improved Colton Seed” at 62 per bushel.

Nearly nil diseases originate from Indigestion
and Torpidity of the Liver, and relief is always
anxiously sought after. If the Liver is Begulat-!
and in its action, health is almost invariably so- j
cured. Want of nut ion in the Liver causes |
Headache, Constipation. Jaundice, Pain in the j
Shoulders, Cough, Chills, Dizziness, Sour Stom- j
ueli, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious attacks, j
Palpitation of the Heart, Depression of Spirits,
lor the Bines, and a hundred other symptoms,
for which Simmons’ Limit RnrrrLATon is the best
remedy that lias ever been discovered. It acta
mildly, effectually, and being a simple vegetable
compound, <*uu do no injury m any quantities
that it may bo taken. It is harmless in every
way; it has been used for 40 years, and hun
dreds of the good and grout from all parts of the.
country will vouch lor its being tho pure and
best.
The symptoms of liver complaint are uneasi
ness atul pain in the side. Sometimes the bain
is in the shoulder, and is mistaken for the Rheu
matism. .The stomach iv after ted with the lots
ot appetite and sickness, bowels in general cos
tive, sometimes alternating with lax. The head
is troubled with pain, and dull, heavy sensation,
considerable loss of memory, accompanied with
painful sensation of have left undone something
which ouiJU to have be n done. Often com- j
plaining ol wcaknes; debility, and low spirits, j
Sometimes many of tho above symptoms a 1 tend j
tho diseast, and at other rimes very few of them: j
but, tho Liver is generally the organ most in- i
vohvd.

THE medical revolution which commenced
years .ago with the gradual disuse ol blood-letting,
j salivation, drastic purgatives, and powerful opi
■ ates, goes bravely and gloriously on. Every day
I the sick grow wiser. 'They are no longer willing
to open their mouths, shut their eyes, and take
whatever the doctors arc pla ed to preserilie,
wilhont inquiry. They want to know the na
ture of the medicines they are desired to swal
low, and demand to have the mysterious Latin
lingo of the profession translated into plain En
glish.
The Invalid World understands at last that
VIGOR is the great antagonist ot disease. The
feeble dri-line to be utterly prostrated by deplet
ing pills and potions, and turning from such
mondicamonts with loathing, judiciously place
tlioir trust in a remedy which combines with the
properties of an Alterative those of a pure and
wholesome Tonic and Restorative. Il is now
I about t welve years since this grand desideratum
was introduced under the name of
PLANTATION BITTERS,
and from that time to the present its progress I
has been without a parallel in tho history of j
proprietary medicines. With the spirit ot the !
sugar cane tho most nutrieious of all stimulant:-: j
for its basis, and medicated solely with the
juices and extracts of rare vegetable specifics,
such as Calisaya Bark, the best known Tonic
that the world produces, and which makes it by
all odds the most unobjectionable invigorant, |
corrective and general alterative that has evei j
been placed by science within the reach of the !
sick, the suffering, and the despondent. Hence j
it has overleaped all competition, and Plantation
Bitters is to-day the most popular Tonic on eith- j
er side of the Atlantic.
Mexican Mustang Liniment.
FOR MAN AND BEAST.
Probably few articles have ever had so exten
sive a sale, while none have been more univer
sally beneficial than the celebrated Mexican Mus
tang Liniment. Children, Adults, Horses and
Domestic Animals, are always liable to accident,
and it is safe to say, that no family can pass a
single season without some kind of an emollient
being necessary. It becomes a matter of import
ance then to secure the best
The merits of the Mexican Mustang Liniment
are well known throughout tho habitable world.
From the million upon million of bottles sold,
no complaint has ever reached us. It is recom
mended for Cuts, Bruises, Sprains,Rheumatism,
Swellings, Bites, Chilblains, Ac., upon man,and
spavins, Founders, Ring-bone,Fell Evil,Scratch
es, Wind-Galls, Hoofule, Ac., upon horses.
IlEDportant to Owners *1 Ilorsus.
“This is to certify, That the Mexican Mustang
Liniment has been extensively used in our sta
bles throughout tho country (we have 2,5()0
horses) with the greatest benefit in all cases of
galls, kicks, spiuins, lameness, stiffness, etc.
Many of our men have hud occasion to use it in
their families, and all speak of it in the highest
terms. One of our men got kicked and badly
cut and bruised; as usual, the Mustang Lini
ment wa4 resorted to; the lameness was remov
ed, and he was almost well iu lour days. We
can cheerfully recommend it as a valuable prep
aration for man or beast.

Disasters and Deaths of the Yt ar.
The year just drawn to a close, par
ticularly tho latter part of it, has been
memorable for its disasters. The Bos
ton firo came not very far from the an -
niversavy of the Chicago fire. Tho hor
rible sacrifice' at the Eith Avenue Hotel,
New York, followed; then the s"areely
less terrific burning of [Centre street,
New York, in which eight persons were
burned alive; then tho most mournful
Christinas tragedy at ■Williamsport, Pa.,
by which children and women were
crushed to death while celebrating with
innocent festivities, the happy festival;
then the crushing of tho cars and burn
ing of tho passengers on tho Buffalo A
Pittsburg railroad. There have been j
fearful inundations in Italy and England
and tremendous storms have swept
along the coasts of Northeastern Europe,
as well as upon our own coast, in which
many a goodly ship has gono to tho bot
tom of the sea. In our own lake
navigation there been not loss than nine
hundred disasters, of which the insu
rance companies laid practical knowl
edge, attended by one hundred and
eighty-nine lost lives, actually reported.
The year has also been remarkable for
the deaths of distinguished men in lit
erature, art,science and religion. Among
our own profession are the names of
James Gordon Bennett, of the New
York Herald, and Horace Greeley, of the
New York Tribune. The army has lost,
Maj. Gen. Meade, Mnj. Gen! Helleck
and Gen. Anderson. France laments
Field Marshal Toroy, who defeated tho
Austrians on the historic field of Mon
tebello, anti England Field Marshal Sir
George Pollock, constable of the Tower,
a veteran of the Indian wars, and Gen.
Peunefather, another soldier of renown.
The ranks of statesmanship have been

A New Tiiiiie.— A California paper de
scribes the discovery of three villages of
| Zuni Indians, supposed to ho the survi
j vors of the ancient Aztecs. They dwell
| on the groat trail from Fort Mohave, on
' the Colorado, to Albuquerque, on the
j ltio Grande, and are about a day’s jour
ney from the diamond field. They num
ber about 0,000, and are very different
from other tribes, being in looks, bear
ing and pride of dress a manifestly su
perior race. Tho worn on are comely and
modest in dress ; their houses are clean
and their cooking good. Certain kinds
of cloths are made by them. These peo
ple have fields of corn, wheat and vege
tables, flocks of sheep and goats, and
they keep all the domestic animals.
They are friendly to the whites, never
fight aggressively, but are stubborn in
defence. Their houses are of stone,
three stories high, and built in terrace
form. They worship the Great Spirit,
and believe he dwells in the sun.
Germany’s Great General.— Ail Eng
lish paper gives tho. following curious
pen-and-ink sketch from a correspon
dent: “While going to church I notic
ed near me the new uniform of a Gen
eral officer, someone who impressed me
at first as the youngest, blondest, and
slenderest General oilicer I ever saw,
and I tried to divine how promotion
could have been so rapid in an army
where everything is regular. I look
ed again, and tho quick, elastic stop, the
slimier, almost womanly waist, con
trasted strangely with his rank, which
I noticed to be that of a full General.
On looking into his face I was still more
surprised to recognize General Yon
Moltke. Wo continued on to the chajr
el door together. Ho a man of few
words, of a singular youthful expres
sion of countenance and eye; and al
though one knows that he is seventy
years of age, and heavy tiine-lines mark
his fiifeo, .it is hard to shake oft' the idea
tl'gi| he is a boy. He has a light and
licacly transparent complexion, a clear
blue eye, flaxen hair, white eye-brows,
and no beard.”

Kiiglisti Sterling Law.
Tho New York World, in an article
designed to enlighten a Congressman
who was puzzled to understand liow it
was that United /States bonds when
quoted at ill in London were regard
ed at par (and who could not got satis
factory information from the Secretary
of War, because, as the World supposes,
the Secretary wsm equally uninformed ,
makes the following It will
no doubt be ac-opt-ahl© to oth
ers than Congressmen and Secretaries
of the Treasury:
Rule 1. oil! American securities that
aro payable in dollars are dealt in by the
law of the London Stock Exchange at
the rate of Is. (id. per dollar. Hence,
when our bonds were sold in London at
'll it meant that we received 91 times
■ls. (ianand.
or exactly X2O 9s. G.
Rule 2. The law of sterling exchange
in the United States is this: A pound
sterling is’takeu at a fixed rate of $4.44,
and to these $4.11 is added the premi
um that may be current. Thus, when
the Secretary stated that the rate of ex
change was fixed at 91 it meant that
per cent, was added on $4.11, which
makes the pound sterling worth exactly
$ 489 18-100 in gold, and if the above
.4'20 9s. (id. we received for each $1('0
bond be reduced to dollars in gold at
the rate of $ 1.8(118 for sove: igus the sum
of $99.540355 will be found to bo the
result. Exchange at 9', premium, as
stated by the the Secretary, meant sixty
day sight bills. The interest, at the
thou prevailing rale in London on the
sixty days, will make up the discrepan
cy of about 45 cents, and make the bond
of par value in London.
4 Doovt :n House? —Under this head
one of the Washington City Sunday p i
pers says:
We notico going the rounds of the
press a p-tvagraph'eiilliiig attention to
the fact that the house formerly occu
pied by the. Hon. Win. H. Seward, while
Secretary of State, on Lafayette Square,
is a house doomed by fate. It has a
very singular history, and we learn from
an entertaining book called “In Memo
riam," being reminiscences of Benjamin
Ogle Taylor, printed for private circula
tion, that the house was built by Com
modore Rogers, and elsewhere we hear
it was built out of prize money. "Wheth
er or not the bricks were held together
by blood and robbery, certainly tho
house seems to be fated. Commodore
Rogers died in a mad house, we have
been told. After his death it was occu
pi and by the Hon. John C. S] oncer,while
Secretary' of War, who there received
the horrible intelligence of tho murder
of his son on board the Somers. After
wards it was converted into a club house
of which' Phillip Barton Key was a mem
ber. He used the upper story as a sig
nal station to notify Mrs. Sickles of his
approach, and when ho was shot by the
indignant husband ho died in one of the
rooms below. Afterwards the house
was used by Mr. Seward,and in it Payne
attempted his famous assassination, and
Fannie Seward, tho daughter, who i o
heroically throw herself between the as
sassin and her father, subs qnently died
from tho shock. Afterwards Secretary
Belknap lost his inestimable wife, and
his son got the seeds of the diseaso that
has since so alarmed hi , father. These
are but a few of the more prominent,
darkened events connected with this re
markable mansion, and the fact of is
peculiar fatality is so well known in tho
neighborhood that when any one takes
the place tnerc is a general shaking of
heads and and an elongation of counte
nances that foretells tho result which
generally occurs. It is now in the pos
session of the Government, and stories
aro afloat that purport to come from
messengers of mysterious steps being
heard, doors that open and close, and
close, and close,and rustling of garments
not proper to the premises at the pres
ent time.

Omaha. Excited.— -Omaha is excited on
account of the prophetic powers of a
spiritualist named Edward Kuhl, a shoe
maker living on Tenth street in that
city, who, at a seance a few months since,
predicted the death of a friend of a
member of the “circle,” Thereupon the
latter took out a two thousand dollaa:
policy' on the life of his friend, who has
since died as Predicted. The strangest
part of the story is that the medium,
sinca the fulfilment of his prediction,
has received from tho policy-holder ono
hundred dollars out of the amount paid
by the insurance company, if the re
port be true, the wonder is that both the
seer and the policy-holder have not been
arrested for murder.
