Unporf'l’kl* Cotton and Rico.
The Charleston News and Courier nays :
It is a settled fact that the sea island
cotton and rice cannot be produced with
profit, at present prices, with our present
system of labor. An exceptionally good
planter, here and there, may continue to"
succeed ; but the fact that three-fourths
of the sea island cotton lands and one
half of the rice lands under cultivation
in 1860 are now thrown out, proves that
the average cannot make money. On
North Santee alone, as we are informed,
only three rice plantations are now culti
vated out of eighteen in 1860, and it was
shown in a report made last summer to
the agricultural society that, in our four
coast counties, over four hundred thou--
sand acres of land have been thrown out
of cultivation since 1860. Arc these lands
to remain idle, or shall we make an effort
to utilize them again ?” The News and
Courier urges planters in the low coun
try to raise wheat, and instances proof to
show that that crop can be made very
profitable.
HinU f,r the Farmer
Make your fences high and strong so
they will keep cattle and pigs out. If
you have brush make your lots strong
and secure and keep the hogs from the
corn.
When rainy, bad weather comes, so
you can’t work out of doors, cut, split
and pile your wood, make your racks, fix
your fences or gates, and patch the roof
of your barn or house.
Vegetation purifies the air—firstly,
because it absorbs carbonic acid ; sec
ondly, because under the influence of
sunlight it exhales an equivalent in
oxyiren ; and, lastly, because it produces
ozoue.
Feed your land before it gets poor.
(Jive it all .the manure you can make
and haul, and it will enrich you. Starve
it by taking off crops continually and re
turning nothing and it will bankrupt
you. Feed the land liberally and it will
feed and clothe you.
Many farmers think it doesn’t pay to
bother with much gardening ; but a good,
large garden, well planted and well
worked, will give a liberal profit from
the sale of surplus vegetables, after sup
plying the home table the season through
with all the vegetables desired.
Do not allow ashes of any kind to he
wasted. Jt will pay to haul leached
ashes several miles, when one has his
own team and a laborer at fair wagrs.
Ooal ashes, when spread around lurry
hushes of any sort, or around grape
vines, will aid materially in producing
large and fair fruit.
Keep your stock constantly paining in
flesh. line the most unlaiiing vigilance
and diligence U) secure thiß. The mo

Household Hints
Rick Pudding.—To three j>ini* milk
add one teacupful riee, teHspoonfnl
ground cinnamon, small lump butter,
pinch salt, sweeten to taste and put in a
hot oven. Keep it stirred until the riee
is soft, then eat hot or cold, hot preferred.
Decanting.— Wine is often spoiled
while beiu transferred from the bin to
the table. Great care should lie taken
not to shake the bottle, and a witie
strairer with a fine cambric bottom
should be used.
To Cuke Felon.—Equal parts soft
soap and quick lime, made into a paste ;
apply to felon; renew whenever dry. It
will cause pain if the felon has progressed
much, but it is a sure cure.
To Clean Smoky Marble.—Brush a
paste of chloride o' lime and water over
the entire surface; grease spots can he
removed from marble by applying a paste
ol crude potash and whiting in this man
ner.
Mold. — Ink can lie preserved from
mold hv putlins a clove in the bottle. A
few drops of any essential oil will pre
serve leather from mold ; ami Kith alum
and resin will keep paste in a pure con
dition.
Fob Burns. —Strong, fresh.clear lime
water, mixed with as much linseed oil as
it will cut; shake the bottle before ap
plying ; wrap the burn in cotton waddii g
saturated with the lotion ; wet as often
as it appears dry, without removing
ootton from burn for nine days, when
new skin will probably have formed.
Boston Doughnuts.—Small table
spxmful butler, one tumblerful milk
(warmed), one tumblerful sugar, two
eggs, nutmeg, one quart flour (small),
one-fourth tc>pooaful cream tartar, one
or one halt teasjioonful baking powder.
Let it stand two hours belore the fire be
ore frying in very hot lard.
Deodorizekb. —A pail of clear water
in a newly painted room will remove the
s ckening odor o r paint. Coffee pounded
in a mortar and roasted on an iion plate,
-ugar burned on hot coals, and vinegar
toiled with myrrh and sprinkled on the
floor and furniture of a sick room are
excellent deodorizers.
Parki.ky Sauce. —Pick free from
stems, wash in warm and cold water, and
■ry in a cloth, a handful of parsley;
throw it into plenty of boiling water,
wiih salt; after it toils, reckon one
minute, then drain it; chop it fine on the
back of a plate; put it in the sauce
tureen with u desertspoonful of hot
water ; add buttersauce and stir it up
well.
Mountain Cake —One cup of sugar;
three eggs ; one-half cup of butter; one
half cup of sweet milk; one and a hall
cups of flour; one teaspoonful of cream
of tartar; one-halfc teaspoonful soda or
baking powder. Very nice nut cake can
be made from the same recipe, only net
quite so much butter is needed when
nuts are used.
How to Treat Hyacinths.—As soon
as the hyacinth is done flowering in water
you may transplant it to a pot of earth,
and so leave it to dry off, when you will
lay it away till autumn. Offshoots should
be removed as soon as they appear, and
to put in small [Hits where they will soon
make roots, and in time form flowering
bulbs.
Doughnuts.— Two eggs, two cupfuls
sugar, two arid a half cupfuls milk, one
cupful butter, or a little less, one pint of
yeast, nutmeg; knead stiff liko bread at
night; keep in a warm place; in the
morning knead again, cut into cakes, let
them rise again till so light they will not
sink in the fat, and fry; the more you
knead them the better they will be.
Mining Camp Slapjacks.—Mix at
night a batter of sour milk and flour stiff
enough so it will run slowly from the
spoon. I<et it stand in a warm place. In
the morning dissolve a small teaspoonful
of baking soda in a little warm water;
add to hatter ; add also salt and a large
spoonful of melted butter. A great deal
of the success of griddle-cakes lies in the
fire being hot enough to hake them
quickly without burning. A slow fire
will toughen the best materials ever put
together.
Hot Ki.aw.— Take a piece of butter
the size of half a hen's egg, a teacup of
vineirar, a teacup of water, a teaspoonful
of black pepper, and a tablespoonful of
salt; pul them all in a tight covered
kettle and set over a brisk fire Chop your
cabbage finely ; have three pints of it;
when the liquid is boiling hot empty the
cabbage into the kettle, and let it boil
slowly one hour. Serve hot in saucers.
It is very delicious prepared in this
manner.
Making Biscuit. —One quart of flour,
i Butter tlie oiz? of hii two rounded
teaxpoonfulh oi cream of tartar, one tea
tq>oonfu lof soda, and enough aweet milk
to mix a very soft dough. The flour
Hhould lie of good quality. Melt the
butter, and alter pulverizing the soda,
measure it a little smaller than the cream
tartar, and dissolve in a little sweet milk'
I’lace it in a cup and rub it with the
finger until sure that no sediment is left;
sift the cream tartar with the flour, turn
in the butter, milk and soda, and mix
with a spoon, adding tweet milk enough
lor a very soft dough. Handle a little
and lightly n possib’e ; roll,cut and bake
immediately in a quick oven, for fifteen
or twenty minutes.
Fish Chowder.--Buy part cod and
part haddock ; akin fish ami boil head
and bone* in three quart* cold water and
little salt; then cut fish in squares, wipe
dry, and flour a little; then fry out in a
]ait four slices nice lean salt |>ork and two
large onions cut up; take out pork and
wipe pot dry; turnback fat and lay on
one layer of fish, pepper, salt, and fried
sliced onions; then a layer of thick
sliced potatoes, with pepper and salt;
then layer of Boston hard crackers split
in two; then fish again until all is
finished ; boil slowly, adding one good
pint of miik, one .quarter pound butter,
pinch ol thyme, ami ofte bay leaf; when
fish is done take out carefully with a
large s|ioon, so as not to break up the
fish more than is absolutely necessary.
Ifo not stir the chowder, but turn pot
around.
The Course of Emigration.
The extraordinary emigration from
the north to the westward, especially to
Kansas, lias been lately a subject of re
mark. Kansas papers represent that
settlers ami colonies come in battalions.
The history of emigration everywhere
shows that it moves in certain well
defined parallels of latitude “Westward
tlie star of empire" lias always moved
from the east, ami it is iu obedience to
this great law that Ohio, Indiana, Illi
nois, Missouri, and now Kansas with
! Colorado, have received such vast acees
sions of population. At the same time
there ate exception* to this rule, as is
shown in the ias? of Texas, which now
; numbers a population ef two millions,
j aud to which almost every state and
j even European countries have oon
' tributt and their quota. When the h-rkige
o: the wt -t becomes short cropped by the
' u, ultitu ie moving in that direction, the
i living tide will t>c diverted in a larger
stream float the north to the south
j There is already considerable emigration
! Irom the former Li tbe latter stetion.

d'*xl which is setting towards the wc-t.

“So Did Not I."
As we walk through history with Di
ogenes’ lantern in our hand, it is always
pleasant to come upon an honest and a
noble man. Such an one was Nehemiah,
the rebuilder and reformer of Jerusalem.
He stands in the scripture gallery of
characters as John Hampden's statue
stands in the line of illustrious worthies
which flanks the entrance to the British
parliament.
Nehemiah was a man who understood
the power of that prodigious word “no.”
When he left the Persian capital at
Shushan, he went down to Jerusalem,
determined to do something to relieve
his suffering people there. The dear old
city was in ruins. The Jews who had
returned thither from Babylon were
oppressed and plundered. The same
kind of abuses had crept in, which have
disgraced some of our city governments.
Nehemiah lays hold of practical reforms
with an unsparing hand. First, he
arouses the people with a trumpet peal
to “rise up and build'’ the ruined walls.
Then he abolishes the oppressive taxa
tion, and the desecrations of the Sabbath
and the temple. H s predecessors in
office had been receiving big salaries, and
had allowed their underlings to fleece
the people. Nehemiah might have cited
their example as a precedent, and fol
lowed in their wake, (after the manner
in which greedy officeholders or plun
deters thrust their arms into public
treasuries in our day), hut his simple,
manly statement is, “So did not I, be
cause of the fear of God.” Nobly ssi 11
We wish every young man would write
those sharp, ringing words in his note
book, and determine to make the same
answer whenever he is tempted to do a
selfish or a wicked act.
The most tremendous word in the
English language is the short yet mighty
word NO. It has been the pivot on
which innumerable destinies have
turned, for this world and the next.
Spoken at the right moment, it has saved
multitudes from disgrhee, from ruin * *
I The downward pull ef sin is tre
j mendous. To be able firmly to say
j ll Yet will I not” requires the grace
| from above in the heart. There is a
| subtle pull, also, in the drift of sinful
! fashion and usage which carries away
J every one who is not well established on
ja bible conscience Three-fourths of all
the persons who are drowned on the sea-
I shore are swept out by the undertow.
This is the secret influence which takes
i hold of so many of the church-members
and carries them off" into extravagant
living, into sinful amusements and all
manner of worldly conformities. Every
true Christian is bound to be a non
conformist. If he is not well anchored
for Christ, he is swept away by the
undertow. The bottom of the great
deep is strewed with such backsliders.
I would press this truth home upon
every young mau who reads this article :
Your salvation depends on your ability
to say “ No.” When your principle is
put to the test, ask God’s help and stand
firm. * * *
In every school the difference i* clearly
marked between the boy who baa moral
pluck and the boy. who is mere pulp.
The one knows how to say “ No.” The
other is so afraid of being thought “ ver
dant” that he soon kills everything pure,
and fresh, and manly in his character,
and dries up into a premature ha'duess
of heart. Five lads weie once gathered
in a ro.ui at a boarding-school, and four
of them engaged in a game of cards,
which was expressly forbidden by the
tulcs. One of the players was called
out. The three said to the ouiet lad,
who was busy at something else : “Come
take a hand with us. It is too bad to
have the game broken up." “ I do not
know one card from another.” “ T hat
makes no ditference,” exclaimed the
players. “We will show you how.
Come along.” Now, that, was a
turning-point in that lad’s life.
He nobly said : “My father does not
wish me to play cards, and I will not
disobey him.” Tnat sentence settled
the matter and settled his position
among his associates. He was the
boy who could “ Xoand thence
torward his vtct irie* were ma ie easy and
sure. 1 well remember the pressure
brought to bear in college upon every
young man to join in a wine-drink or to
take a hand in some contraband amuse
ment. Some timber got well seasoned
Some of the other sort got well rotted
through with sensuality and vice. The
Nehemiahs at college have been Nehe
mi.ibs ever since. The boy was father of
the man.
The only motive that could’h ild back
tlie brave nonconformist at Jerusalem
was a g>xi!v eon-cieucv : “ So did not I.
because of the ’car of God.” This ever
present principle held him firm wheu
temptation struck him. as the undercur
rents strike against the keel What the
fear of God did tor Xthemiah, faith in
the Loid Jesus w ilt do for you. Christ
must le to you a pattern, and He must
be to you a power. It is not enough to
believe on Jesus. You must “ add to
your faith courage,” (for that is the real
meaning of the word translated “ virtue’
n our English bibles). Then, with Christ
as your model and Christ as your inwaid
might, you will always be able to face
down temptation with the iron answer,
So will not I.”—[T. L. Cuyler.
The Transit of Mercury.
A transit of Mercury will occur on the
6th of May, which is anticipated with
mueh interest in the astronomical world.
It will be visible all ever the United
States, and will occupy about seven hours
and a half in its passage. Transits of
Mercury are much more frequent than
those of Venus, the average interval
being less than ten years. Thus the
coming transit will to followed by others
in 1881 and 1891, while after the transit
of Venus in 1882 none will occur until
2004. No previous transit of Mercury
has ever aroused the attention of observ
ers like the one whose advent is so scon
anticipated, for it is hoped that its observ
ation will help in the solution of several
important problems, especially in deter-
mining the orbit of Mercury, in throw
ing more light on the question of an
intra-Mercurial planet, and in furnishing
data far renewed estimates ot the sun’s
distance. Astronomers are already
making preparation* for the observation
of the phenomenon. Two French scien
tists are now on their way to the west to
be in readiness for its advent. They are
sent out officially. One of them is M.
Charles Adre, professor in the observa
tory in the university of Lyons, and the
other is M. Angot, professor of physics
at the Lycee Fontanes in Paris. The
place of their destination is Ogden, Utah,
and the locality has been selected foi two
seasons. It is on au elevated ground,
nearly on the “divide ” of the continent,
very favorably situated for dryness of
climate and purity of atmosphere, and
the center of the transit will take place
nearly at local noon.
Mercury is too small to be seen by the
naked eye in its passage across the tun,
but unscientific observers, who have
access to good telescopes, will have no
difficulty in detecting the presence ol the
slow moving black spot on the face of the
great luminary, while they are willing to
leave the delicate observations and calcu
lations to practical eyes and mathemati
cal brains.
A Pack of Weasels Out Hunting.
Weasels frequently hunt in couples
and sometimes more than two will work
together. We once saw five, and have
heard of eight. The five we saw were
working a sandy bank drilled with holes,
from which the rabbits in wild alarm
were darting in all directions. The
weasels raced from hole to hole and along
the sides of the bank exactly like a pack
of hounds, and seemed Intensely excited.
Their manner of hunting resembles the
motions of ants; these insects run a little
way very swiftly, then stop, turn to the
right or left, make a slight detour, and
afterward on again in a strigl t line.
So the pack of weasels darted forward,
stopped, went from side to side, and
then on a yard or two, and repeated the
process To see their reddisii heads
thrust fur a moment from the holes, then
withdrawn to reappear at another, would
have been amusing had it not been lor
the reflection that their frisky tricks
woulj assuredly eud in death. They
ran their quarry out of the bank and into
the woods, where we lost sight of them.
The pack of eight were seen by a laborer
returning down a woodland lane from
work one afternoon. He told us he got
in the ditch, half from curiosity and half
from fear—laughable as it may seem—for
be had heard the old people tell stories
of them in their days when the corn was
kept for years in barns, and so bred hun
dreds of rats, being attacked by those
vicious brutes. He said they made a
noise, crying to each other in short,
sharp, snappy sounds ; but the pack of
five we ourselves saw hunted in silence.

Jewel# of ttio Crown.’of
At Edinburg, Scotland, some years since,
the Jewels of the Grown were locked in a
box, that box in another, anti so on, until
they were supposed to be burglar-proof.
They were then locked up in the vault of
the castle, there to remain for one hundred
years, the keys being placed in amortarand
fired into the sea. Scarce fifty years pa>sed
by, and the modern lock picker opens the
vault and boxes without trouble. So the
seit nee of medicine, when studied with the
aid of chemistry and the microscope, becomes
plain and simple, and diseases that were
regarded incurable a generation ago, now
readily yield to remedies employed by the
modern and progressive physician. A decade
of years since, and women were taught to
believe that their peculiar diseases aud
weaknesses were incurable; but uow hun

women in the United States wiil testify to
the fact that Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip

From the Chicago Times, March 16, 1878.
Aflyertisi TM Dobs Pay,
Assertions to the Contrary Notwith
standing.
There ha* recently appeared in the columns of the
New York Times a series of articles attacking the
co operative syfitem of newspaper printing and ad
vertising,which, atter careful investigation, isfound
to be false in every particular, so far as the business
in the West is concerned. The Times man cnarges
that the co-operative newspapers are printed in
email and insignificant towns, have no circula ion
to speak of, and that only of a local character ; that
the lists are padded out ny the managers of the co
operative houses by the addition of papers that never
had an existence; that false representations are
made regarding the circulation of these lists of pa
pers ; and. flually fr.ot in words, but in plain te ms),
that the manag rs of these co operative eitabli-la
ment* are a set of swindlers, with whom adverti erß
should have uo dealings.
With a view of ascertaining the truth or falsity of
these charges. h reporter was sent on a tour of invest
igation to the office oi the Chicago Newspaper
L T Di >n, the 1-ading house engaged in this industry
in Chics* >, with full power to summon “persons and
papers, make a thorouzh sifting of the whole mat
ter, and. without setting down aught in malice, re
port “ the trmh, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth.” The scribe w ent and saw, and now pro
ceeds toif form the reader ofthe result cflns mi-sion:
The New-paper Union was found established in a
large five story 75-feet front building at *aos. 177,179
and ISI Fifth avenue. Mr. John F. Cramer, the Pres
ident of the company, and also of the firm of Cramer,
Aikens A Cramer. Milwaukee, w as ready and willing
to impart all the information asked lor touching the
business. The reporter was somewhat astoniened at
the extent ot the establishment and the apparently
largt- amountotcapital invested in the business. On
the first floor was the countina-room, handsomely
furnished, and the paper-stock department, well
stocked with an extensive assortmen of fine papers.
On the second floor was the press-room, one of the
largest and finest in the city. Seven Hoe presses
were kept inconstant motion, printing the multi
tudinous papers that go out to all parts of the
North-West. On the third floor was a large,light and
ainjcomposing-room.wkeresome twentjflne looking
printers were engaged in mampulating the lypes
On the same floor wai lhe editorial room, where an
efficient corps of editors was engag and in the careful
preparation of news matter to fill the various
sheets. In the basement some half dozen stalwart
men were at work wetting dowu paper and packing
and shipping the halt printed newspapers.
After looking over the building the reporter and
President returned to the business office, whese the
Manager, Mr. Charles E. Strong, proceeded to re
veal to the scribe some facts and figures that eom
pletely knocked in the be*d th- New York paper’s
charges. First, a list of the papers printed by the
Union was produced. It was arranged in alphabet
ical order, and contained the name of every paper,
the town where printed and the day of publication
of a#h.
On examining the list it was found that the charge
that co-operative newspapers are all printed in small
towns Is utterly untrue. The catalogue embraced
some of the oe6t and m st widoly circulated w eekly
newspapers in tne Northwest representing such
towns as Belvidere, Dixon, Joliet, k-nkkakee, El
gin. La Salle, Lincoln. Galesburg. Quincy, Decatur.
Sycamore, Tuscola. Mattoon. W aukegan and W od
stock in Illinois ; Kenosh t. Manitowoc Milwaukee,
laa Crosse, Ra ire and Lancaster in Wis'onsin ;
Kalamazoo. Niles, Paw I’aw. Gobi water. Manistee,
Muskegon and Port Huron in Mi higan ; Mareball
town. Burlington, < edar Rapids, Elsader, Maquo
k( ta.Wavei ly snd Webster City in loa; La'ayette.
Laporte. Alb'on, Auburn. Logansport. < rown
Point, Elkhart. Valparaiso and WabHSti in Indiana.
Th 4 aggregate circu’a io of the Union’s list of
400 newspapers sine.* the Ist of January l ist, it was
found on investigation, has not been less than 22 ,(XX>
copies any owe ween, and i as many times exceeded
250,000 per w ek.
to far from this system of advertising being a
fraud, it is undoubted ly one of the fairest modes of
reaching the public yet devised, for the reason that
the advertiser, when he la\ s out his money. kDows
exactly the extent of the circulation his advertise
ment is going to receive. No candid, disinterested
person can dispute that it i-much fiirer than the
disreputable practices resorted to by multi l udes of
papers of small circulation, namely: Creating the
impression that tne> have three or four rimes as
many subscribers as their books carry,aud charging
advertisers three or four times more than they
ought t pay. With the solitary exception ot The
> HiCAGoTiMts, .he Unon i Mho only advertising
channel of large circulation in this city that makes
ne secret of the number of reader .’ an advertising
patron is enab ed to reach through its columns.
The Newssapor Union is well known tobethelarg
ert shipper l>v express in the en? ire city of Chicago.
I’s auunal shipments through the express compa
nies far exceed in number of pounds that of any kind
of business in the West,
The Union asks Chicago advertisers to call at any
time and look through its establishment and make a
fair and impartial investigation ot the character ot
the papers it prints and its manner ot doing business
Ithasestablishe 1 a rcputationforbu-iness integrity
andjhotiorablodealingwhich itcavnotafF >rd toforfoit
by false representations to the business public of the
Northwest. It asks no responsible adverti-er for
his patronage until he has satisfied himself that
what it claims is correct,
With these facts befo e them, the great pub ic are
left to judge which is the greater fraud an esta b
hshment like the Chicago Newspaper Union, which
conceals nothing tuat an advertising patron has a
right to know, or a concern like tlie New York
Times, which keeps the extent of its circulation a
secret as profound as the grave, and resents as an
impertinence any inquiries in regard thereto.
