Deep Cultivation-
The snbj-ct of deep cultivation as a
prevention of tbe bad effects of drought,
U occupying the attention of farmers in
[Europe as well as in America. W. Al
exander Forsyth, a very intelligent far
mer, writes to the Agricultural Gazette
a very interesting article on the subject
in which he says that the past season
being quite an exceptional one, it is of
the highest importance to have its od
dities recorded. The amount of sun
shine and the want of rain, during the
growing season, have led the cultivators
to listen to a train of reasoning which
it would be impossible to get him to be
lieve in but for this unusual visitation
AVhile the burning punshine of 1868
roasted alive the growing crops on the
thin uplands, it boiled up from the cold
days nnd deep alluvial soils such an
amount of forage and fruits as hns not
been witnessed before by any living
in ho. Avery extraordinary case of
deep rooting in search of food and mois
ture, has been brought to light in a
railroad cutting. A bank bad fallen
into the cutting, and in one place there
was a perpendicular fracture, where the
roots of the wheat could be traced from
six to ten feet deep. Although this
instance may be only a solitary one, if
the wheat plant could only be exhibited
with its tillered stems and its heavy
ears of highly finished grain, with its
appendages in the form of feeders many
feet in depth, all these would speak elo
quently by challenging all comers to
produce from their surface tillage a
plant in such perfection.
The farm trees that withstand the
iemjrerature of the torrid zone, have
their feeders twenty feet deep in the
sandy soil, where such a serene medium
exists as must be in plant life perfect
happiness. In the cultivation of wheat,
as in that of other plants there are cir
cumstances over which the planter has
no control, such as the excess of heat in
1868 and the deficiency of heat at sev
eral times. The rich raised bed and
the wide barren alley meet the cases of
beat and wet completely. How gladly
would the farmer avail himself of the
Gospel maxim and sow unsparingly, if
he might only reap in like manner.—
Hut every plant must have its share of
light and air; the blades and leaves
must be winnowed soundly in the sum
mer wind. It is surprising tc see the
crops of potatoes, etc., almost choking
up the wide alleys ; so greedy is a lux
uriant crop to get the light and air nec
cssary for its development.
Sweet Potatoes. —Mr. George W.
G ft makes the followiug suggeston in
the Southern Farmer:
We would impress upon the reader
the necessity of getting this important
crop out as early as possible. Last
season, by the use of glass, we com*
xnenced to put out on the 15th of April.
At digging time we carefully measured
the yield from each successive drawing
The first brought something over three
hundred bushels to the acre, those o!
two weeks later a little over two hun
dred and fifty bushels, and the next
under two hundred, and so down to the
usual “seed patch,” There is great
economy in bedding out seed enough to
make asuffioiency of slips to complete
the planting at the first good season
alter the n i Idle of April. We used no
manure for our sweet potatoes but sul
..tiled the ground both ways. Made
.he beds three feet apart and kept the
jruund clean, but never broke the ridge.
It is an excellent crop, and when all our
farmers shall have provided warm,
light cellars for storing and preserving
hem through winter, it will get to be a
?ery important one.
‘‘Blessed be Nothing.” —The Albany
Post thus sensibly replies to a statement
made by the New York Herald, that
luiing the last twenty years Wm. B.
Astor had so managed a fortune of
wunty millions as to roll it into sixty
millions:
Suppose he has, what then 1 What
las he made by the operation, except
nereused worriment to keep the run of
i'im iucreased wealth ? Art >r, with sixty
Millions, eats no more oysters, quail,
smodc e’e, and honey turkey than he
lid w! e ; he was worth ten millions
le uses no more oysters than we do.—
le dresses no better, and has a thou
lUitd times less fun. We beat him on
ho sleep, and have no law-suits with
en.uits and trespassers. Bobbers lay
or Astor every time he goes out doors
iftor dark. They don’t think of us.—
\stor, with sixty millions of dollars, has
ixty millions of trouble. To keep the
un of hie rents, bonds and estates
:eeps Astor in work about fourteen
n>uis a day, and yet Astor only gets
three square meals’ a day, which is just
rhut we obtain wiihout any millions,
ny tenants, any real estate, and only
cork eight hours per day. If men's
nippiness increased with their money,
very body would be justified in worship
ng the Golden Calf. The happiness
nth their earnings up to a certain point
- the point necessary to secure them
ho comforts of life-say S2OOO a year,
ill beyond this is superfluous, it is pro
luctive of no good whatever. The
icher the man, the greater is the prob
hility that his son will live on billiards,
nd'die in the inebri; t * asylum. .With
onteutment and S2OOO a* year a man
!i;iy be a prince. Without conient
lent you will be miserable even if your
I’ealtb equals the rent rolls of Croesus.
Molasses Candy. —Put one quart of
Vest ludia molasses in a kettle with
all a pound of brown sugar ; boil it
ver a slow, steady fire till it is done,
which you can easily tell by dropping
little in cold water), if dooe, it will be
risp, il not, it will be stringy. A good
'ay to judge it is boiled enough is, to
it il boil uutil it stops bubbling. Stir
very frequently, and just before it is
ikeu off the fire add the juice of a lem-
Butler a shallow tiu pan, and pour
in to get cold. Molasses candy may
} flavored with anything you choose,
ousted ground nuts, or the kernels of
ielt-barks, may be added.
Twice Mistaken,
Captain A— , of Missouri, is
known all the way on the Mississippi
from New Orleans to Dubuque, as a big
hearted, jovial fellow, who . does not
stand on the ceremony of an introduc
tion before commencing an acquain
tance. The Captain is fond of a drink,
and moreover ho does not like to drink
alone. It so happened that business
called hrtn to Washington, and he had
a comp ay non it voyage, a stout thick set
man, well up in years, who wore a wig,
and who presented a striking resem
blance to tbe late Lewis Cass. To be
guile the tedium of the voyage, they
chatted together aud they drank to
gether.
Captain A , one evening after
his arrival, thought he spied his compan
ion in the densely crowded office of
Brown’s Hotel, and sleppod up to him,
he briskly slapped him on the back,
and remarked, ‘Come, old fellow, let’s
take a drink/
•You mistake your man,’ replied the
other with great gravity. ‘My name is
Cass, Senator Cass, from Michigan/
The Captain, it is hardly necessary to
say, was greatly disconcerted, and slunk
away.
In the course of the evening, however,
he was certain that he spied his man,
and rushing up to him, broke out with
a glee,‘Well, I’ve found you at last.—
Hel he ! he ! Capital joke to tell you.
He! hoi he! Don’t you think, I met
old Cass, and took him for you. He 1
he ! he 1 Clapped the old fellow on tbe
back, he! hel hel and, says I, come,
let’s take a drink, hel he! he 1 and
when he told me I mistook my man,
didn’t I slope, he! he! hel’ The Cap
tain observed, however, that his compan
ion did not appear to appreciate the
joke, but for a time preserved a rigid
countenance, and then broke in upon
him, ‘I, sir, am Lewis Cass, as I told
you before, and I cannot allow you to
indulge further in these familiarities/
Tbe Captain made no further attempts
to hunt up his former companion. He
is yet hale and jovial, but be is not fond
of boasting how be made the acquain
tance of the late distinguished Senator
from Michigan.— Western Monthly.
Working Women in Austria.—Wo
men in Austria perform the duties of
brick-layers’ laborers, and may be seen
carrying hods of mortar and baskets of
b. icks up high ladders. More than this,
they actually supply the place of na
vies, and dig and wheel barrows of
“ballast” almost as nimbly as their lords.
They chop wood, they carry water, they
offer to black your boots in the street,
and perform many o.her little offices
which according to our notions, hardly
come under the denomination of “wo>
man’s work.” Ferhaps this state of
things is unavoidable in a country where
it is considered necessary to keep a
standing army of 800,000 men J The
women work inordinately hard, while
hundreds of idle men are constantly
sauntering about in various uniforms,
doing nothing at all, except, perhaps,
blowing a cloud of bad tobacco smoke.
Be Master and not be Mastered. —lt
is not by regretting what is irreparable
that true work is to be done, but by
making the best of what we are. It is
not by complaining that we have not the
right tools, but by using well the tools
we have Where we are, and what we
are. is God’s providential arrangement,
and the wise and manly way is to loqjc
our advantages in the face, and see what
can be made of them. Life, like war, is
a series of mistakes, and he is not the
best Christian nor the best General,
who makes the fewest false atc-ps. Poor
mediocrity may do that; but he is the
best who wins the most splendid victo
ries by the retrieval of mistakes. For
get mistakes; organize victory out of
mistakes.
How Ice is Made by Machinery.—
The ice factory at New Orleans con
sists of six retorts of a chemical freezing
mixture. From these six retorts six
pipes descend to six huge chests, which
in turn radiate severally oflf iuto four
compartments. In eacli compartment
are long, thin cases, seven on one side
and eight on the other. This making a
total of fifty-six cases in a box, and
there being four boxes to a chest, and
six chests to a factory, it follows that at
lull blast, this Southern ice factory can,
turn out 1,844 cakes of ice eighteen
inches long, twelve broad and two thick,
at the completion of each process. The
ice is more solid than that frozen natu
rally and it lasts much longer.
The factory is a joint stock enterprise,
and the property is exceedingly lucra
tive.
Newspapers. —ln the United States
every worthy’ citizen reads a newspaper,
and owns the paper which he reads.—
A newspaper is a window through
which men look out on all that is going
on in the world. Without a newspaper
a man is shut up in a small room, and
knows little or nothing of what is hap
pening outside of himself. In our day
newspapers keep pace with history, and
record it. A good newspaper will keep
a sensible man in sympathy with the
world’s current history. It is an ever
unfolding encyclopaedia; kn unbound
book forever issuing, and never finish
ed.—Rev. Henry Ward Beecher-
Pressure of the Air. —On a-piece of
ground 100 feet long and 50 feet wide
the air presses with a force of 10,800,-
000 piunds, which is 5,400 tons. If we
suppose a building of brick, three stories
high, to be placed upon the ground, the
air would press on the space with a
force twice as great as the building.—
Supposing a load for a team to be one
ton, it would make 5,400 loads, and
drawing five loads a day it would take
1,080 days or three years, of working
days, to remove such a weight. In in
timate relation with this vast pressure,
we perforin all our functions.
A little five-year old boy was
being instructed in morals by his moth
er. The old lady told him that all
such terms as “By golly," “by jingo,”
“by thunder,” etc., were ouly minced
oaths, and but little better than any
other profanity. In fact, she said, he
could tell a profane oath by the prefix
of “by”—all such were oaths. “Well,
then, mother,” said the little hopeful,
“there’s a big oath in the newspapers,—
‘By Telegraph.' The old lady gave it
up, and the boy is bewildered on mor
als.
jCdSC* A preacher was holding forth
to a somewhat wearied congregation,
when he ‘lifted up his eyes’ to the galle
ry, and beheld a ‘Little Pickle’ pelting
the people with chestnuts. Dominie
was about to administer, ex-cathedra , a
sharp and stinging reprimand for this
flagrant act of impiety and disrespect,
but the youth, acticipating him, bawled
out at the top of his voice, ‘You mind
your preaching, and I’ll keep the clogs
awake !’ The scene that ensued may be
safely left to the imagination.
An editor, commenting upon the
importance of small things, says he does
not slight a straw, if it has a sherry cob
ler at one end,
A Negro Court in Charleston.— ln
Charleston, C. S., the other day, a ped
dler representing a Boston bucket facto
ry, came ashore from a steamer, carry*
ing„.about a dozen minutive specimens
of hu merchandise, and, taking up the
first stre. t ha came to, offeiel them
righj and left. He had not progressed
far before a negro policeman accosted
him and carried him before a coal black
justice, charged with peddling without
a license. The sable magistrate not on
ly fined him the cool sum of SIOO, but
roundly lectured the man of buckets on
his conduct. He paid the fine and left
‘the court’ and city in thorough disgust.
On tbe same day a drummer from New
York was arraigned before his sable
honor for the same offence. The drum
mer insisted that he had sold nothing,
only been offering, but had made no
sales. Whereupon the black dignitary
told him to prove that, but while hunt
ing up tbe proof he must leave SSO with
him by way of bail. The drummer
handed over the money, went out and
brought in two or three merchants who
all stated that he had sold nothing to
them. After the witnesses got through
the following decision was delivered :
‘uis court hab heard de prefixes and de
conclusion to dia kase, aqd decides dat
de yankee hab left de kase in doubt;
and it bein de law to gib de State de
benefit of de doubt, dis court will keep
de fifty dollars.’
Immortality of Goodness.—Thous
ands of men breathe, move, and live,
pass off the stage of life, and are heard
of no more. Why ? Because they
did not partake of good in the world,
and none were blessed by them; none
could point to thenf*as the means of
their relief jfrom distress; not a line
they wrote, not a word they spoke,
could be recalled ; and so they perished;
their light went out in darkness, and
they were not remembered more than
insects of yesterday. Will you thus
live and die, 0 man immortal ? Live
for something. Do good, and leave be
hind you a monument of virtue that the
storms of time can never destroy
Write your name in kindness, love and
mercy, on the hearts of thousands you
come in contact with year by year; you
will then never be forgotten. No ; your
name, your deeds, will then be as legi
ble on the hearts you leave behind as
the stars on the brow of evening. Good
deeds will shine as the stars of heaven.
Storms in the Sun.— Scientific inves
tigation into the mysteries of the sun’s
surface has been great this year. A
magnetic storm is predicted. An
examination of the sun through power
ful instruments has revealed new and
wonderful appearances on its surface.—
Immense spots, millions of roi es in ex
tent, are said to have appeared. One
of them recently moved a bundled
thousand miles in a second. We are
told that violent physical changes are
going on ; that the magnetic storms are
regulated by fixed laws and occur eve
ry eleven years. The next one is to be
in 1870. Its effects upon magnetic in
struments will be noted with intense in
terest by the first scientific men of the
day, Wbat effect these storms will have
upon the atmosphere, vegetation and
light of the sun, will afford plenty of
food for speculation and thought-
Buy a Home. —Every laboring man
should buy himself a town lot, get that
paid for, and then work to make the
necessary improvements. A little here,
and a little there, will in due time pro
duce you a home of your own, and place
you out of the landlord’s grasp ; remem
ber that fifty dollars a year, saved in
rent, will in a very few years pay for
your home, and the money it costs you
to move and shift round, without any
lost ol furniture and time, pay the inter
est on a five hundred dollar judgment
against vonr property, until you can
gradually reduce it to nothing. You
can all buy that way—why do you not
risk it ? If you fail you are no worse off
—if you succeed, as any careful man is
sure to do, you have made a home and
established a basis equal to many anoth
er’s which will start you in business.
A six year-old boy was asked by
bis teacher to write a composition on
the subject of water, and the following
is a production : “Water is good to
drink, to swim in, and to skate on when
frozen. When I was a little baby, the
nurse used to batbe me every morning
in water. I have been told that the
Injuns don’t wash themselves but once
in ten years. I wish I was an Injun !”
maiden lady, alluding to the
youthful accomplishment, said that at
six months of age she went alone. A
malicious remarked—
‘Yes and you have been going alone
ever since.”
m. A couple of fellows, who were
pretty thoroughly soaked with bad
whisky, got into tho gutter. After
floundering about for a few minutes, one
of them said, “Jim let’s go to another
house; this hotel leaks.*

A CARD TO THE AFFLICTED,
Dr. M. lut. LICHTENSTADT, a resident of Georgia for 2i;y-ars, begs leave to
tender bis services to tbe citizens of Randolph and adjoining counties for the treatment of all
Chroric Diseases, but especially those of a Nervous character, such as Neuralgia of the
Face and Head, as well as Sciatica, or pains in the Hip, Joints, Thighs, Knees and Ancles.
This method of treating disease in its various forms, by external applications, was introduced
by me in this State, in 1865, upon my return from Europe, and is, comparatively speaking, a
new one, but has been already sufficiently tested in various parts of this State, to secure for it
hosts of friends, especially amongst the many patients whose sufferings have been promptly and
PERMANENTLY cured by means of tbe “ iliometer.”
I have speedily restored those who suffered from the b’ighting disease of Paralysis, and have
had the gratification to see the return of health in the victims of Epileptic convulsions, whost
eases have been repeatedly pronounced incurable, by competent authorities.
Gout and Rheumatism yields to this treatment with wonderful promptness, and not less re
markable in the fact that all skin diseases, by whatever technical name they may be designated,
have to succumb to my system of external medication.
My Certificates, which, amongst others, bear the names of eminent citizens of this State and
Alabama, will be distributed by mail, or can be had upon application to me. A patient perusal
of the same is solicited.
Until further notice I can be found at the Hotel in Cuthbert, on every
Tlmrsday, of each week, aud hope to secure the approbation of those who
may need my services. dec9 ts
