DIOESOH’B 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.

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. Yours respectfully, J. DENNING, Foreman Adams A Co.’s Express Stables, N. Y. “We take great pleasure, in recommending tlm Mexican Mushing Liniment as an indispensable and valuable article, and the best we have ever used for Sprains, Sores or Galls on hGives.

' 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 thinned by the deaths of Win. H. Sew ard,ox-Postmastor General Rand::!),Sen ators Grimes of lowa, Davis of Kentucky, and Walker of Wisconsin; President Juarez, of Mexico; Earl Mayo, Governor General of India, Joseph Mazzini, the Italian revolutionist; the Duke of Per siguv; Sir Henry Bulwcr; Lord Lons dale, and the Duke of Bedford. Among the eminent divines who have died dur ing the year are Archbishop Baltimore; Bishop McGill, of Richmond, and Rev. Dr. Seabury, of New York, at one time the leading mind of the Epis copal Church. Thus the most distin guished as well as the unknown of the earth pass away, while others till their places only in their turn to be written j on the necrology roll of somo future | year. s> o - 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.” TICK MS, 9.00 PER ANNUM. NO. 5. 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.
