ASSORTED ICE CREAM. A**oit<-t!(Jiipstioiis 'Mini Afrltntod Vari oiih Daily Customers. He slinneil into an ico cream saloon very softly, and vylh-ii the yni) asked Him what he wanted, lie replied: “Corn Beef, fried potatoes, pickles, and mince pie.” “This is not a restaurant-; this is an ice cream parlor,” she said. “Then wlmt did you ask me w hat. I wanted fur? Why didn't you bring on votir iee cream ?” She went after it, and as she return ed, he continued: “You see, my dear pill, you must infer—you must reason. 1 1. isn't like ly that 1 would conic into an ice cream parlor to buy a grindstoije is it? You didn’t think I came ; ..i hero to ask if you had any baled hay, did you She looked at him in great sur prise, and he went on: “If T. owned a hardware store, and yon came in, I would infer that you came for somethin:' in my line. I wouldn’t step out and ask if you wanted to buy a mule, would IV” She went away highly indignant. An old lady was devouring a dish of ice cream at the next table, and the stranger, after watching her for a mo ment, called out: “My dear woman, have you found auv hairs or "buttons in your dish?” “Mercy ! Xo !” she exclaimed, as die wheeled around and dropped her poon. “Well, I’m glad of it,” he continu 'd. “If you find any just let me now.” She looked at him for half a miu te, picked up the spoon, laid it down gain, and thou rose up and left the oom. She must have said soiue hing to tho proprietor, for he came nulling in, and exclaimed: “Hid you tell that woman that there verc hairs and buttons in niv ice ream ?” “No, sir.” “You didn't ?’’ “Xo, sir, I did not; T merely re quested her, in case she found any such ingredients, to inform me!” “Well, sir, that was a mean trick.” “My dear sir,” said the stranger, smiling softly, “did you expect, me to ask t,hc woman if she had found a crow-bar or a sledge hammer in her cream? It is impossible,sir, for such articles to be hidden away in such small dishes.” The proprietor went away growling, and ns the stranger quietly supped away nt his cream, two young ladies came in, sat down near him, and or dered creanj and cakes. Ho waited until they had eaten a little, and then lie remarked: “Beg pardon, ladies, but do you observe anything very peculiar in the haste of this cream ?” They started, smacked their lips, and were not certain. “Hoes it taste to you as if a plug of tobacco bad fallen in to the freezer?” he asked. “Ah! hah!” they exclaimed, drop ping their spoons trying to spit out what they had c ateu. Both rushed out, and it wasn’t long before the proprietor rushed in. “.See here, what in the blazes are . yon talking about?” he demanded. “What do you mean by plug tobacco in the freezer?” “My kind friend, I asked the ladies if this cream tasted of plug tobacco. I don't taste any such taste, and I don’t believe you used a bit in it!” “Well, you don’t want to talk that way around here !” continued the pro- j priotor. “My ice cream is pure, and : the man who says it isu’t tells a bold lie!” He went away again, and a woman with a long neck and a sad face sat down and said to the girl that she would take a small dish of lemon ice. It was brought, aud she had taken about two mouthfuls when the stran- ■ ger inquired: “Excuse me, madam, but do you j know how this cream was* made ? Have you any idea that they grated | turnip" and chalk with the cream ?” .She didn’t reply. She slowly rose up, wheeled around, and made for the door. The stranger followed after, and by great good luck his coat tails, cleared the door an instant too soon ! to be struck by a five pound box of figs, hurled with great force by the indignant proprietor. As 1 c re: cli id/ the curbstone he halted, looked at the ■ door of the pavion; and soliloquized: “There are times when people: hould infer, and tin r- are times wh m 'ey shouldn’t.

Dent writes to a cotompora- s ry that, in his opinion, the prescut j system of cotton planting, on the large scale in which it is now curried 1 on, must be abandoned and gradual ly the policy will bo, from improved j culture, to make an acre planted in cotton make a bale or more ; so, in reducing the acreage planted, the amount made will not be diminished. Such will be the tendency iu the fu ture for raising cotton, As regards I agricultural machinery for Southern farming, we must adopt it ; it is in evitable, but it will be gradually done, and not until we have more intelli : gent labor than wo now have to han dle it. AYe are now using improved labor-saving ploughs, horse reapers, : threshers and separators, lint 11 . can only be entrusted with white lu ! borers, that is, a white man must su perintend the using them if negroes jure employed as assistants. Place ; reapers, threshers and separators in charge of a parcel of negroes, and 1.0 white man to superintend their run ning, and shipwreck would soon ho i their fate. Southern planting or farming, to; be conducted on small farms by thor-, ough pn partition and cultivation of the soil. It is impossible to keep up 1 the fertility of the soil and fencing on large plantations ; and no one can afford to tend exhausted lands with hired labor ; hence the acreage of lands cultivated must be curtailed ; and he made to produce largely to the acre, if not there will lie no profit in farming. The average product of j the cotton plantations is not more than a halo to five acres. A\ ould it not he best, then, to manure and cul tivate fifty acres so as to make what two hundred and titty acres make now ? It would certainly save much i capital now invested in land, mules j and for labor. AYlieu labor was cheap, costing nothing more than food and clothing, we could aflord to I tend poor lands, but when scarce and high-priced the policy is to make the land fertile and produce largely. A Sovthwest Gkoroia corrcs'iioit- Jent to the Stivannah Advert her writes its follows: In view of a short crop the country merchants will patronize Macon anil Savannah jobbers, anil Southwest Georgia, while it belongs legitimate ly to .Savannah, is occupied .almost entirely by Macon merchants. Wheth er this is the result of a want of en terprise am the part of Savannah is not for jour correspondent to say. Whilst most of the cotton of South west Georgia merchants an l farmers is sold in ‘Savannah it would csrtainly be most convenient to patronize Sa vannah in the purchase of goods, if this trade was properly sought. The writer met on the train at Thomasvilie in June last, a reliable gentleman— salesman for tbo large dry goods house of Waxelbaum .V Cos., of Macon. In the course of a convc sation the following was elicited: That ho (tho Macon merchant) had sold that day in Thomasvilie nearly or quite SSOOO worth of goods, with a Savannah merchant iu the place selling (in his opinion) not over SIOOO worth of goods. The Macon merchant further states that Savannah was not in his way even as far on the A. A G. B. It. as Jessup. Feeling kindly disposed toward your city is why I mention the foregoing, Mr. Fditor, .being re minded of it by an article iu your pa per, taken from the Thomasvilie Timer, upon this line. And as a tan gible proof of Savannah’s culpability in the matter, I will mention tlie firm of Messrs. Webb A Hightower, .of Ear ly county, who ship every season uoar- I ly 1,000 bales cotton to Tisou & Gor don, and who buy their goods in Xew York or Macon, with the exception of salt, and an occasional order, perhaps, for a little snuff, sugar and coffee. These gentlemen bought their last spring stock from Boss & Coleman, of Macon, and will more than likely do the same this fall. Dickens’ Advice to his Son. It is said the following-letter writ ten by Chrtrles Dickens to bis son. ns the latter loft bis home for Australia, defines more sharply than anything else the novelist ever wrote his own religions belief: “I put in a New Testament, because it is the best book that e ver was or will be known in the world; arid be cause it teaches you the best lessons by which any human creature, who tries to lie truthful and faithful to duty, can possibly be guided. As your brothers have gone away one by one, I have written to each such words as I am writing to von, ipid have entreated them all to guide t hem selves by this Book, putting aside the interpretations and inventions of man. * * * * I must now solemnly impress upon you the truth and beau ty of the Christian religion, as it came from Christ Himself, and the impos sibility of your going far wrong if you humbly but heartily respect it. Only one thing more on this head. The more we are in earnest as to feeling it, the less we are disposed to bold forth about it. Never abandon tlie whole some practice of saying your own pri vate prayers night and morning. I have never abandoned it myself, and I know the comfort of it.” A Practical Failin'. [From the Detroit Pres.?.] Boating is no doubt a good thing when judiciously indulged in, but an old •gentleman residing on Congress street, whose son was a member of one of the winning crews at the Toledo re gatta, has rather conservative notions i concerning the muscular art. On Sun-j day the following dialogue occurred .; between the father and son: Father--“My boy, bow much did you weigh when you began to train ; for this regatta?” Son - ‘One hundred and sixty, pounds.” Father—“And you polled at one 1 hundred and forty-live pounds didn’t; j ou?” Son—" Yes I worked down to that bountifully.” Father—“And how much is that i budge worth that you won down there?'’ Son—“ Don’t know exactly,lint think 1 heard some of the fellers say they cost. *27 apiece.” ; Father —"l'm; £27. Now then if you'll work off the same amount of I llesli next season hy sawing wood I'll give you a badge, Worth just four times as much as that one and an! order on my tailor for the best suit of : clothes yon cull find.” ' The y fling gentleman intimated that he guessed hi M take a little run | down to the boat-house. saw v Kirs I : Eclipse Colton Gin, | I AY IT II O K AY ITH 0U T C O N I) K X S E 11 S. !

Walker’s California Vin egar Billers nro a purely Vc-gefablo : preparation, made childly from the na tive herbs found 011-tlio lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor nia, the medicinal properties of which | are extracted therefrom without the uso of Alcohol. Tho questiou Is almost 1 daily asked, “What is tho cause of the ; unparalleled success of Vineoau Hit- j TKiisf” Our answer Is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient rc- i rovors his health. They are the great ; Mood purifier and a life-giving; principle, j a perfect Kenovntor mid hivigorator \ of the system. Never before in the 1 history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the reinai'kiihio qualities of Vi.nkuaii llittkiis in healing tho sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of tlie Liver anil Visceral Organs in Bilious , Diseases The properties of Dr. Walker’s Vin hoar Hitters arc Aperient, Diaphoretic, j Carminative, Nutritious. Laxative, Diuretic, * Sedative, Counter-Irritant Sudorific, Altera* tive, and Anti-Bilious. (ratoful Thousands proclaim Yin egar Bitters the most wonderful In* vigoraut that ever sustained th* sinking . system. No Person can lake these Bit ters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones aro not de stroyed by mineral poison ev other means, and vital A.giius wasted beyond repair. Bilious, Remittent and Inter mittent Fevers, winch are so preva lent in tho valleys.of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois. Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan sas, Ked, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, I’earl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during tho Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during sea sons of unusual heat and dryness, are ‘nvariahly accompanied by extensive de rangements of tho stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful influence upon tlieso various or gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to I)H. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the dark colored viscid matter with which tho bowels are loaded, at tho same time stimulating the secretions of tho liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of tho digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease By purifying all its fluids with Yinkgak Bit nuts. No epidemic can take lioid of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head ache, Fain ill the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness. Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Had Tnsto in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpira tation of the Heart, Inflammation of tho Lungs, Fain in tho region of tho Kid lie vs, and a hundred other painful symp toms, are tho offsprings of Dyspepsia.

For Inlhniiinatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, licmit tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of • tlie Blood, Liver, Kidnors * and Bladder, these Bitters have no enual. .Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases.— Persons en gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-boaters, and as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of Walker’s Yi.x --: uiiAR Bitters occasionally.

Scurfs, Discolorations of tlie Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name ! or nature, arc literally dug up and carried out of the system iu a short time by the uso : of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed arid removed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no an tlielniinitlcs will free the system from worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at tlie dawn of wo manhood, or tho turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. tie ansethe Vitiated Blood when ever you find its impurities bursting through I the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when.
