Sloch.Rahiiig in ihe South.
Contrary to the law of political egonomy,
that every industry must seek those chan
nels in which are to be the most favorable
°RP w, iWuities for profit,, the. North and West
havg, hitherto, almost monopolized the
stock breediug of the country. The climate
and natural advantages of the North can
bear uo comparison to those of Lbe South in
Adaptation to this pursuit. TUe rigors of a
Northern winter ; tue large outlay of time
and labpp necessary for. providing shelter
and forage; the brief pasturing season in
those latitudes; the mnch larger amount of
fo*rd consumed by stall-fed than by pastur-
ed animals, and consequently the greater
expense attending the raising of the for
mer—all these are serious drawbacks in the
way of stock raising in the North. On the
other hand— the genial climate, and large
unsettled tracts ot pasture land in the
Sottlh: the immense cane brakes skiriintr
the Southern rivers, froin Cape Fear to the
Rio Gfande, and forming the finest pastu
rage alike for hogs and sheep and cattle;
the lung continuance of the spring and
summer seasons and the .shortness and
comparative mildness of the waters:—all
these circumstances combine to afford the
most unbounded facilities for the breeding
of stock of every sort, and to any extent
Shelter except from the winter rainstorms,
is almost unnecessary in the Sou th;. And so
far as stall-feeding is concerned, there can
not be found in any country .upon the globe
so wonderful a luxuriance of the necessary
veget able supply. The very grasses which
have heretofore formed the most persistent
foe of the plantef, may be Utilized in iliis
respect to an almost unlimited extent Es
pecially is this true of the Bermuda grass,
which, if left to itself, will in an incredible
space of time dbvelope into the richest
known pasturage for sheep,
There is every incentive for the, South to
avail herself of her great advantages
in this respect. As is always the case
where labor -is diversified, the benefits
derived from stock raising would react
uprtVi other branches of industry. The
manure accumulated during the period of
housing the stock would be of the utmost
value to the planter; and the transpiwtation
of stock would be an important element of
profit to railroad and steamboat enterprises
The subject is one • the importance of
which, can not well be over estimaf ad.— L

The price of sugar is steadily rising,

to be when a crop of sugar is Cnt short by

either imediate or prospective anil pro

years before Cuba will make any tiling like

The Girls of Ihe Present.
it is terribly significant of the present
state of things, when men are free to write j
as they do of the women of l heir own iftt
tiou, Every word of censure flung against
them is t wo-edged, and wounds those who
condemn, as much as those who aie con
■detniicd; or surely it need hardly be said'
that men hold nothing so dear as.tbe hopyr
of their woman, and that no one living
would willingly lowei the repule of Iris
mother or sisters. It is only when the§e
have placed themselves beyond the pale of
masculine respect that such things are ,
written; when they beoomefagain wha* they r
were once, they will gather around them
the love and honor and devotion which wjyp
then an English woman’s natural inherb
tanoe. The nfat’vel in the present fashion
of life among women is how it holds i*« J
ground in spite of the disapprobation of
men. It usdef to be an old lime notion that
the sexes were made for each other, >*nd4o (1

Fins AT Smithvilljs— Masonic Dodge
stroyed.—We regret to Irani that our
Smithville friends were aroused from tln-ir,;
• umbers by the cry of fire, on Monday night, >
a little after midnight, and could only repair
to the scene in time to find the school house,
with.the Masonic Dodge above it, in one
sheet of flame. The teacher in charge of ,
the school, says that there was not tkmW
least fir® left in the building the pmvionu
evening; and our informant Mates that He
passed the house about one o’clock-some
half an hour or more before the alarm was t.
given—nod tliere was no light or sign of-,
fire. W« heartily regret the loss sustained*
by onr Masonic brethren, and trust they t
may soon b« able to erect a far more comes
ly-building. —Anwicus Courier.
