[communicated. ]
(hand Lodge of England.
Quarterly communication held March 3d,
lKti!)—tlie Slight Hon. the Earl of Zetland,
K. T. M. W. Grand Master on the Throne.
Bro. Joseph Sharpe, P. M., congratulated
the M. W. Grand Master on the approach
ing completion of his twenty-fifth year as
Grand Master, and commented at consider
able length on the prosperity which had
attended the Order and its charitable insti
tutions during the time liis lordship had
presided over it, and proposed his re-election
for the ensuing year. The proposition was
seconded by Bro. Conrad C. Dumas, P. M.,
and put formally to the Grand Lodge by the
Earl de Grey and Ripon, R. W. Deputy
Grand Master, and unanimously approved.
* The Right Honorable Thomas Danilas,
Earl of Zetland, Baron Dundas, of Aske, in
tlie county of York, Lord Lieutenant and
Gustos Rotolorum, of the North Riding of
Yorkshire, K. TANARUS., etc., etc., was then pro
claimed Most Worshipful Grand Master for
the ensuing year, and saluted according to
ancient form.
The M. W. Grand Master acknowledged
tlie honor conferred upon him for the twenty -
sixth time, in electing him Grand Master.
He could not find new words to express his
thanks. He felt proud at continuing to
possess the confidence of the Grand Lodge,
after having occupied the position of Grand
Master for a longer period than any brother,
excepting the Duke of Sussex, and he
assured the brethren that the event of that
day, in re-electing him, after the completion
of a quarter of a century in their service,
was the most gratifying one he had ever ex
perienced ; and he again thanked them most
sincerely.
FARM AND CARDEN.
We would renew our request to our friends
and subscribers throughout the State to
send us news of the crops in their respective
neighborhoods, and to communicate such
items of agricultural interest as they may
deem of value to those who like themselves
are engaged in the noble occupation of tilling
the soil. It is our design to devote consider
able space every week to the notice and dis
cussion of topics relating to the farm, the
garden and tlie household, believing as we
do that in no other way eun we promote
more successfully tlie welfare and advance
ment of tin* people of Georgia. We ask our
friends to help us by practical suggestions,
and by information as to current events.
The Irish Potato.
SPUING, SUMMER, PAUL AND WINTEP. CROPS.
It is not generally known that the Irish
Potato can be kept growing all seasons,
making continual crops all the year round,
but such is the truth of experience. To ac
complisli this there has to be three general
plantings :
Ist. In January imd February, plant ac
cording to tlie size of the crop you propose
to cultivate.
2d. In July and August, at any time or
during tlie whole of these months, as you dig
your potatoes for the market or home con
sumption, plant all the middle or smaller
sizes, keeping the largest for the table. This
planting will make you a fall and winter crop
which you can dig and use from October to
January.
3d. In November and December, while
digging and consuming your fall and winter
crops, again plant with the medium and
smaller sized tubers, and this planting will
surely make you a spring crop.
These three consecutive crops, from the
barrel, or whatever quantity you start with,
can be made by any person who will take
the trouble to do it.
As the month of July is at hand, and the
Potato vines dead, 1 will proceed to give
some necessary rules to be observed for sum
mer planting. Dig tlie potatoes before sun
rise or after sun-set, never allowing tlie sun
shine to touch them, and house them bv
scattering them on a floor in some dark dry
room, for a few days—say two days to two
weeks. If tin* sunshine ever touches them
they will rot in the ground after planting.
Always plant before sun-rise or after sun-set.
The plain and obvious practice is, to dig two
or more rows at a time, and to save the larger
potatoes for the table, anil to plant all the
other smaller ones.
The land should be deeply and closely
turned over with a turn plow, or spade, and
furrows made three feet apart, and not over
four inches below the surface, for if planted
deep, as in spring planting, they will keep
drv and not sprout and come up. Plant
deep in dry summer weather, and you might
as well put them away in the mummy vaults
of Egypt.
After dropping the potato in the furrows,
fill up the furrows with any sort of vegetable
mould, or garden rubbish, crop or any sort
of grass from the cleaning of beds, walks, or
the yard, and cover lightly with soil, leaving
the bed level. Afterwards, if grass appears
on the bed. lioe it oft' and keep the crop
clean bedding up as the vines grow larger
and larger.
It is important ami proper to plant a good
and improved variety of potatoes. For this
section I prefer “ The Goodrich Early Seed
ling.” It costs 85.00 per barrel at J. M.
TUornlmrn A Go’s., New York, or at David
Landreth ,V Sous’, Philadelphia, Pa. This
is a highly prolific potato, and mils raised
from the seed from the indigenous potatoes
of the mount.menus country of South Amer
ica. The Irish potato is a native of South
America, and was carried to England by
Raleigh, and tlieuee to Ireland, and “ Pat ”
imitating the noted example of Americus
Yespueoius, named it after himself.
W inter and spring planting should be
deeper, but summer planting shallow ; the
laud iu both cases enriched with decomposed
manures, and a full and free use of vegetable
mould and grasses. Nothing better in win
ter than cotton seed. —Kifuuhi \eirs.
Trailc in Kcifis and (tools
An editorial letter in the Wilmington (N.
C.) Journal, dated Sparkling Catawba
Springs, loth, says :
Among the most popular, and at present,
I lielieve, the most lucrative, occupation in
this immediate section, is the collection of
"herbs and roots,” and their shipment to
Northern markets. I was not prepared to
see the extent to which it is carried here.
These herbs and roots are put up with
much care, in bales about the size of cotton
bales, weighing from three hundred to three
hundred and fifty pounds, but much neater
in their appearance. From Hickory Station
the shipments average almost a car load a
day. bringing to the railroad about twenty
dollars. Those shipped from that station
are from Catawba, Caldwell and Alexander
counties. They are sent principally to Bos
ton and Philadelphia, and I saw bales di
rected to Chicago and Detroit.
From Mr. Henry Wilfoug. an enterprising
merchant at Hickory Tavern, I learned that
he was paying the following prices for the
various articles mentioned from the neigh
hoi’s who brought them in for barter iu
greater or less quantities. It will be seen
that many of these articles are to be found
in great abundance in our section, and could
be gathered with more profit :
Boots —Angelica, 6 cents ; Blood, 6 cents ;
Butterfly, 10 cents ; Indian Turnip, 10 cents;
Pink, 20 cents ; Wormwood, 13 cents : Snake,
25 to 50 cents ; Parsley, 14 eents.
Leu tea —Sage, 12 cents ; Boneset, 5 cents 1
Comfrey, 10 cents; Peppermint, 8 cents ;
| Hoarhound, 10 cents ; Pkler, (flowers,) 10
i cents ; Thomapple, 10 cents.
Berries unit SeeJ —Prickly-ash, 20 cents ;
i Sumac, 6 cents ; Sunflower, (seed,) 12 cents ;
J Watermelon seed, 10 to 12 cents ; Prickly
ash bark, 10 cents.

—One of the most remarkable works now
going on in London is the construction of a

no one takes much interest in this work.
Hitherto it has progressed most satisfacto
rily. The ground lias turned out to be firm
clay, and so impermeable is it, so dry is the
tunnel, that tlie water used by the masons

Gay Lussac, lias turned liis attention to al

ing an ingot of silver into an ingot of gold
by the combined action of nitric acid and
electricity. Upon this the Pall Mall Gazette
observes: It is true that the cost of produc
tion exceeds many times the value of the ar
ticle produced, so that M. Fretreau rather
reminds one of Raymond de Lulli, an al
chemist of the sixteenth century, of whom
Brantome naively relates that, disdaining to
turn lead into gold, a very easy and common
process, he actually succeeded iu converting
gold into lead.
—ln Paris, two new inventions fur loco

of velocipede for six persons, which will
move by tlie simple weight of those upon it.
These, with an electric voting machine,
which has been offered to the Chamber, and
which is the invention of an American, are
the great industrial hopes of the moment.
The electric machine would enable all the
votes of the Corps Legislatif to lie taken in
a minute, an operation which now requires
an hour. This new velocipede will excel the
railroads, the horses, and its father, the
humble velocipede of the present day. It
will go of itself.

Mississippi, had an iuverview with the President
yesterday iu regard to political affairs in that State.
Tlie President was informed that the only desire
of the Conservative Republicans was neutrality on

tions.
The President replied that lie wished for the
success of tlie party which would, in good faith,
carry out the Reconstruction Acts ; accept tlie Fif
teenth Amendment, and give protection to life and
property iu Mississippi. He wanted to know
whether the former enemies of tlie Government
were acting in good faitii in their present profes
sions of loyalty, and said this would soou he as
certained, in part, bv the action of the Conserva
tive Republicans in Virginia If they were acting
in good faith, he should be glad to have the infill
ence an I intelligence of that State, and of the South
generally, in support of his administration.

what time the Conservative Republicans would
nominate ? and when informed that it would
probably be about the first of September, lie said
he would see what kind of a ticket they would put
in the field, and that his action would be influ
enced, more or less, by subsequent events and the
course of affairs in the South, lie added, that lie
desired to see the payment of the public debt se
cured and the integrity and honor of the nation
rendered inviolate; and when this was accom
plisiied he would be satisfied.

man of the State Central Committee of the Wells

Walker Republican Party, urging that tlie two jmr
ties now reunite, for carrying out Republican prin
ciples in tlie State, the latter gentleman writes a
letter in reply, saying that the Walker Republican*
left the Wells party because they were either foreed
to do so, or to oppose tlie policy of the President.
After alluding to the almost unanimous endorse
ment of Republican principles by white men of
the State, and asserting that the colored people
who were misled by the Wells leaders are now
flocking by hundreds to the Grant-Walker stand
ard, he concludes as follows ;
“You ask for a coalition of the two wings of the
Republican party, 1 cannot admit that the party,
is divided—on the contrary, I claim that the
Grant-Walker Party is the National Republican
Party of Virginia, representing the policy of the
President and of C ingress—and, as such, has no
divisions to heal. To the late Wells Parly, I have
onlv to sav, we shall gladly welcome them to our
ranks -for we are unwilling to deprive any class
of citiz ms of the innumerable blessings that must
fl >w to Yirgiuia from an equitable euforcetn nt of

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
Lumber City Lodge,
Lumber City, Ga., July 17, 1569.
At a regular communication of this Lodge, held
this day, the following preamble, obituary and res
olutions were adopted ;
a liereas, hi the dispensation of an all-wise
Providence, it becomes our painful duty to record
the death of our worthy and esteemed brother Alex
ander Powell, who departed this life at his resi
dence in Telfair conuty.Ga., oil the Ist of June, 1869,
aged sixty-two years and four months. For some
time previous to liis death, liro. Powell had labored
under derangement of the mind, which deprived us
of his presence for the time; we had hoped, how
ever, that derangement was only temporary, and
that ere long hit; mind would be restored, and lie
be permitted again to mingle witli us. But, alas !
how vain is hope, the sickle of time lias laid him
low, and liis spirit lias fled to realize another world;
and while we would, in our deep sorrow, bow, w ith
bumble submission, to the divine will, it is not
mortal to restrain the tears which we shed over liis
silent grave. His memory is embalmed in our
hearts, and so long as due regard is felt among us
for virtue and morality, so long will the name of
Bro. Powell be a bright spot in memory.
Bro. Powell had been for many years a consist
ent member of the M. E. Church ; strictly moral
and religious, he adorned alike the branch of the
Christian Church of which he was a member, as
well as the institutions of Freemasonry’.
Honest, upright, public spirited—as a citizen
the community have to mourn an irreparable loss —
and to proper objects of charity, no one more
readily or unselfishly bestowed of their means to
relieve want.
Resolved, therefore. That in the death of Brother
Powell, the Masonic Fraternity have lost a worthy
and esteemed member, and the con inunity a useful
citizen.
Resolved, That we tender our heartfelt condo
lence to liis bereaved family.
Resolved, That this report tie spread upon the
minutes of the Lodge, and that the usual badge of
mourning be worn for thirty days, and th.it the
furniture of the Lodge be draped for the same pe
riod.
Resolved, That a certified copy be famished
the family of our deceased brother, and that the
Secretary be directed to forward a copy to the Ma
con Journal and Messenger for publication.

The best tests of the merits of any proprietary ar

where it is manufactured. Such a test Lippman’s
Pyrafuge can well stand, as to-day it is decidedly
the favorite remedy for chills ands ver, dumb
ague and other diseases of a malarious origin, in
the city of Savannah, where it is prepared. The
principal druggists of the city would as much think
of doing without castor oil in their stores as to be
without this popular (and deservedly so) remedy.
It is a vegetable preparation free from deleterious
drugs, and acts like a tonic upon the entire system,

enable it to throw off disease. Pyrafuge does not
nauseate or sicken the piatient, arid can be taken
by the most delicate persons without fear. It
should always be at hand, as chills and fever creep
upon us so stealthily that we are not aware of its
approach until it is upon us. A word to the wise is
sufficient.

IvTTHK CONDITIONS OF HEALTH —lt is
idle to expect health if the precautions necessary
to secure it are neglected. The human organiza
tion is a delicate piece of mechanism, and requires
lls mucli intelligent care and watchfulness to keep
it in order, as are requisite in the management of
tlie most complicated combination of levers,
wheels and pinions.
At this season of tlie year tlie body is peculiarly
sensitive, because it is greatly weakened and rej
luxed by the continuous heat. Tlie skin, in sum
mer, with its millions of pores wide open, is a very
different sort of tegument from the compact
fibrous covering which il becomes under the ac
tion of tlie winter’s cold. The muscles, too, are
comparatively llaccid, tlie nerves tremulous, the
blood poor, and tlie whole frame less capable of
enduring fatigue and resisting disease, than in
cool weather. These indications of a depressed
condition of tlie vital forces are so many unmis
takable hints that nature needs reinforcing.
Ordinary stimulants M ill not effect this object.
They inflame and excite, but do not strengthen.
Tlie only preparation which can be depended upon
to impart staminal vigor to tlie system, and ena
ble it to endure tlie ordeal of the heated term
without giving way under the pressure, is HOS
TETTER’B STOMACH BI TTERS, a tonic and cor
rective so pure, so harmless, so utterly free from
the drawbacks which render many of the power,
ful astringents employed in medical practice more
dangerous than tlie ailments they are employed
to cure, that it may be administered without fear
to the feeblest female invalid, or the most delicate
child. The cathartic and alterative vegetable in
gredients, which are combined with those of a
tonic nature in its composition, keep the bowels
moderately free and perfectly regular, while tlie
work of invigoration is going on. The finest Mood
depureants which the herbal kingdom affords are
also among its components, so that it recruits,
purifies and regulates the system simultaneously,
