OH I BR NOT THE FIRST.
Ob ! be not the first to discover
A blot on the fame of a friend.
A flaw in the faith of a lover,
Whose heart may prove true In the end.
We none of ns know one anotbtr,
And oft into error we fall.
Then let ns speak well of our brother,J
Or speak not about him at all.
A smile or a sigh may awaken
Suspicion most false and undne ;
And thus our faith may be shaken
In the hearts that are honest and true.
How often the light smile of gladness
Is worn by the friend that we meet,
To cover a soul full of sadness,
Too proud to acknowledge defeat.
How often the sigh of dejection
Is heaved from the hypocrite's breast,
To parody truth and affection,
Or 101 l a suspicion to rest.
How often the friends we hold dearest,
Their noblest emotions conceal ,
And bosoms the purest, sincerest,
Have secrets they cannot reveal.
Leave base minds to harbor suspicions.
And small ones to trace our defects—
Let ours be a noble ambition.
For base is the mind that tfnspedt.

THE PRESSMAN.
Pull np my boys, turn quick the rounoe
And let the work begin)
The World Is pressing on without.
And we must press within—*
And we who guide the public mind.
Have influence far and wide,
And all our deeds are good, though
The devil is at our Bide.
Let fly the frl sleet, now my boy si
Who are more proud than We;
While wait the anxious crowd without.
The inward power to seel
go pull away—none are great
As they who run the car;
And who hate dignity like those.
Who practice at the bafl
And yon who twirl the rollers them,
Be quick thou inky man;
Old time is rolling oU himself,
So beat hire if you can;
Be careful of the light and shade,
let the sheet grow pale.
Be careful of the nionkty looks,
Os every head and tail.
Though high in office is 6nr stand,
And pious is our case.
We would not cost a slur on those
Who fill a lower place.
The gaping world is fed by ns,
Who retail knowledge here;
By feeding them we feed ourselves,
Nor deem our fare too de&r.
Pull up iny boys turn quick therounce,
And thus the chase we’ll join;
We have deposits in the bank
Our draws are full of qdoin,
And who should more genteely cut
A figure or a dash?
Alas I that we Who press so much,
Should e’er be pressed for cash.

FAT STEERS.
The Agricultural Report for March and
April haa the following :
•'George Ayraolt, of Poughkeepsie, Nsw
York, leports to the Department on four
steers, seven-eights shorthorn, raised by
him, and sold near the close of 1869 to
William Lalor; of Center Market, New
tork City, for $3,200, the age of one of the
animals being seven yeirS, And of the
othets iik years. The largest stood six
feet high, with a girth of feet ; and
the weight of the animals was 3,300 pounds,
8,320 pounds, 8 406 pounds, and 3,440
potinds, respectively ; their proportions
being good notwithstanding thsir enor
mous §i*e. The aggregate gain in height
during the season of 1869 was M<>o
bounds. The net beef weight of the larg
er pair, after slaughter, was 4, 68 T pounds,
exceeding; it is claimed, that of any other
oair of beeves evet fattened.
Ttn-v average weight at the age of three
years was i,«50 pounds. After attaining
this age each, rccUred daily a peck of corn
meal and wheat shorts, combined
divided into two feeds, and, as feaert, a
ptek of sugar bestttwies •*•7- u

.BAISBBIDGE, GA., THURSDAY, JUNE 3, ,1870
lbmn»' er V UD til lately, tbeir only feed waa
grids with a little sweet hay.
The second winter the-daily feed of meal
was 1001*611864 u? qoaVts each, given in
two feeds. In the summer of 1869, each
received one peck cf jnesl per day, given
at morning and at bight; and in the Winter
following, twelve quarts of .meal daily, id
three feeds besides roots. In t,J»eir course
of feeding they have had, in winter the
best of eirly cuthay tVonJ old meadows,
and have usually had access to it in sum - j
mer. They were hot closely confined in
Wifttfir usually having the run of a small
yard, vfrith access to water, and with sheds
under #bich they could lie protected from
atoms, and Were tied at feeding time.
It is Mr. Ajrtatilt's opinion that when
cattle are fattening add it is dedired to give
them all the grain they Will eat withotit
being clogged, it is important to feed three
times a day ; and he considers beets, or
their equivalent, essential in winter in
promoting the growth of grain fed cattle;
He does out advise heavy feeding for beef
until animals are well grown, his practice
being to maiutain his stock in merely thrif
ty condition until they reach the age of
three years.
A committee of the Farmers, Club,
American Institute, reporting on these cat
tle, state that they find that the only pro
fit arising from the last year’s growth of
the animals lay in the increased or “fancy”
rates obtained ou account ot magnitude,
and that, in Mr. Ayrault's judgment, five
years is the age at which fattened cattle
will give the greatest profit to the feeder*
A MURDER TRIAL IN NEVADA.
[From the Galaxy.]
“I was sitting here,” said the Judge, ‘in
this old pulpit, holding court, and we Were
trying a big wicked-looking Spanish des*
perado for killing the husband of a bright
pretty Mexican woman. It waa a lazy
summer duy, and an awfully long one, and
the witnesses were tedious. None of ns
took any interest in the trial except tb«*t
nervous uneasy devil of a Woman—because
you know how love and how they
hate, aud this one had loved her husband
with all her might, and now she had boil
ed it down into hale, and stood here spit
ting it at that Spaniard with her eyes;
andltellyoW she Would stir me up too,
with a little of her summer lightening oc
casionally-. Well I had my coat off and
hell* Up, lolling and sweating, and smok
ing one of those Cabbage cigars -the San
Francisco people used to thiuk were good
enough for us in those times ; and the
lawyers they all had their coats off and
were smoking and whittling, and the Wit
nesses the same, and so was the prisoner.
Well, the fact is, there wan’t any interest
in the murder trial then, because the fel
lows was always brought in ttot guilty,
the jury expecting him to do as much for
them some time ; and although the evi
dence was straight and square against
this Spaniard, we kuew we could not Con*
Viet him without seeming to be rather
high-handed and sort of reflecting on every
gentleman in the community ; for them
Wai n’t any Cafriages and liveries then; and
so only the '‘style” there was, was to keep
your private graveyard. But that woman
seemed to have her heart set on hanging
that Spaniard ; and you’d ought to have
seen how she would glare on him a minute,
and then look up at me in her pleading
way, aud then turn and for the next five
minutes search the jury’s faces —and by
aud by drop her face in her hands for just
a while as if she was most ready to give
up, but out she’d come again directly and
be as lively and anxious as ever But
when the jury announced the verdict, Not
guilty, and I told the prisioner be was
acquitted and free to go, that woman rose
up till she appeard to be da tall and grand
us a seventy-fourgan ship, and says ehe :
“Judge, do I Understand you to say that
ibis man is not guilty, that murdered my
husband Without auy cause before my own
eyes and my little children’s, and that all
has been done to bim that i?Ver justice and
the law can do V
‘The same, says I.
“And then what do you feckon she did ?
Why. she turned on that smirking Spanish
00l like a Wildcat, and out with a ‘navy’
and shot him dead in open court l*
“That was spirited, I am willing to ad#

I HE FIELD OF MANASSAS.
A correspondent of the Charleston News,
•fter sketching the appearance of this
great battle field during .ihe war, has the
following-upon its present condition
From this terrible waste aud ruin let ua
turn to a fairer sighl-the Manassas of to*
day It is a pretty village of over a hun
dred houses, grouped about ibe depot; with
broad streets iu lined with
residences .Stores, smithies, and all
ces of a considerable population. Many of
these houses are neat' and tasty, some are
eve,; elegant, and the hotel is a pleasant
spacious one indeed— while queenly relig-
ion has lull! her temple on a grassy lawn
at the end of a fine street. The inhabis
tants are mostly from the North, a sturdy,
hard-working yeomanry, bringing down
those habits of industry and sobriety which
have made a gardenland of even cold and
rocky New England. Tbeir principles are
also of the North, but this does not trouble
the good Virginians who have settled
among them, for they are not making a
political colony; they came down on the
bi rder of the sunny South to make homes
for themselves; not to be office holders. So
the fields, as fat 1 its the eye can reocb, are
under cultivation, the yiiung wheat is
breaking through the ground, and all the
busy activities of the farm ate in cheerful
progress. Young trees ate slowly grow
ing up, to mitigate and soften the present
bald aspect of the place—the germs of fil
ter® gardens brighten here and there in
spots of floral brilliance and beauty—new
houses are rising on newly acquired estates
for the homes of future generations of
thrifty Virginians, and a smart liUle local
paper dispenses the tidings of the day, and
indulges in occasional strains of prophet**
enthusiasm, which would bo w orttty cf
Duluth or Oinnha.
Dclihium Tbemeks; —The following vivid
description is from one of John 8. Gough's
lecture* :
‘I once knew a man who was tormented
rrftii altumaii faco lhat glare J at tom Dorn
the wall. He wiped it out —it was there,
perfect as before. He stood bank some
paces and saw itsgiin. Maddened to des
peration, he went aod struck it agaiu, and
again, and again, until the wall was sput
tered with blood, and the bones tof his hands
were broken—all this beating out a phan
tom. That is the horror of “delirium tre*
mens.’ I remetiber when it struck me—God
forgive me that I drank enough to lead to
it, although not one-half so much as some
who drank with me. The first glaes with
me was like fire iu the blood ; the second
was as concentric rings in the brain ; the
third made me dance and shout ; the fourth
made me drunk, and God help me / I
dank enough to bring on that fearful dis
ease. I remember one night when in bed,
trembling with fright. Something was
coming into the room—what it waa i knew
not. Suddenly the candle seemed to go
out. I knew the light Was burning $ I
struggled to get to it, uud would have held
uiy hand there fiercely till burnt to the
bone. All at once I felt I was sinking
down : Tearful shapes seemed gathering
round, aod yet I knew I was sitting in my
bed, no obe hear, and the light burning I
“Delirium tremens” is a terrible disease,
out—God pity as l—men are dying from it
every day. 1 saW one man die, and shall
never forget his look ; ho was but in his
tweiuy*lhird year, aud he died mad.”
A Noted MaoaXtnlst. —Littell, the foun
der of the periodical known as ‘Littell’s
Living Age;* is dead, at the ripe old age of
seventy-eight; It will be remembered
that the ‘Age’ was entirely devoted to for
eign literature. Mr. Littell was one of
the first in America to inaugurate maga
zines of this character, aiid bis example
has siuco been extensively followed. Ac
knowledging tbe ‘Age* to be one of the
best works of its class, and respecting the
abilities of Mr. Littell as a literary char
acter, we must at the same time; admit
that the ‘Age’ has done as much to check
the growth of American literature as any
periodical in the couutry. The ‘Age’ will
of course, pursue the even tenor of its in
glorious way; that sort of thing is too
popular, and too profitable; to be stopped
by either death or criticism.
Superstition and ignorance seem to be
the indefeasible inheritances of the English
peasantry. In Devonshire an old man is
charged with scratching tbe arm of a
woman, in Order that, by draWihg blood
ha might put an end to her power as a
witch. He bad safferad from four com
plaints, and had lost fourteen canaries and
about fifty goldfinches, owing to her fna
lignaut influence, ho Mid;
Masnacrk or fuE Drones-— Quo of the
great natural phenomena of the bee-hive
is the massacreing of the drones. It was
atone time asserted that the worker-bees
did not use their stings against the sling,
less males, but merely pushed them out to
die. This idea, however, resulted from the
massacre being always committed at the
bottom of the hive, whither the poor droses
retire in clusters in July and August as if
aware of the doom impending over them.
As usual, by one of his Ingenious expedients
Huber discovered the truth. Six swarms
wero put on glass tables, beneath which
the watchers placed themselves. ‘This
contrivance, * says Huber, 'succeeded to ad
miration. On the 4th of July, we saw th.
workers actually massacre the whole six
swarms, at the same hour and with the
same peculiarities. The glass table was
covered with bees full of animation, which
flow Upon the drooes as they came from tho
bottom of the hive, seized them by the at
tenn®, the limbs and the wings, and after
having dragged them about, so to speak,
after quartering them, they killed them by
repeated stings directed between the rings
of the belly. The moment that this for
midable weapon reached them, Was ths
last of their existence—they stretched their
wings amt eipired. At the same time, as
if the workers did not consider them dead,
as they appeared to us, they still struck
the sting so deep that it could hardly be
withdrawn; and these bees were obliged
to turn round upon themselves, witt» A
screwi«like motion, before tbs mting» could
be disengaged. Nckt day w« witnessed
new sceoes of carnage. During throe
hour*, tb« bees furiously destroyed the
m»tes. They had massacred all their own
on the preceding day, but now attacked
those which, driven from the neighboring
hives, had taken refuge among them. The
following days no drones remained in the
hives.*
Gem. Cuba Jordan BANqPEfst).—The New
York Caban Junta sravo aJ>an.au.c.t lo
Jordan last Thursday. Iu response to his
health, which was proposed by Seilor Alda*
uia, General Jordan replied at some length
reviewing bis advent in Cuba, the general
situation of the island, and allbded In feeL
jng terms to the course which the Ameri
can Government had pursued in reference
to the great cause of Cuban liberty. He
says he was thrown out of his employment
as a soldier at the termination of ‘he late
war, having fought on the Southern side.
When be went to, Cuba he did not believe
the negro fitted forfreedon; nevertheless,
as an act of policy after the abolition of
slavery in this country, he counselled with
his friends to emancipation, he was satis*
fied they deserved their freedom. (Ap
plause.) He want to Cuba with forty*
seven Cubans, to help organiza the troops
and discipline them, for he believed that
organization and discipline only were ue*
cessary to enable them to drive the Span
iards into the sea. After giviug an inter*
esting narrative oF the present posture of
affairs, aud expressing a hope that the
day was at hand when the independence
of the island would be proclaimed, ho con
cluded by stating that he had not seen any
of the patriots engaged in battle who did
not display an inflexible purpose to free
Cuba. Such people ought to have liberty
and must have liberty. Arms were ob
tained by the Spaniards from American
ports. He Would soou return, but a great
deal would have to be done by American
friends, and be would guarautee that Cuba
in a short time would be a free an indepen
dent State, to assume her lot as she might
elect.
How to Force Radishes. —According to
Galignani’t* Messenger, radishes may be
grown id a Few days by the following some#
what singular method :
Let some good Radish seed soak in wa
ter for hours, then put them in a
bag and expose it to the sun; In the
course of the day germination will com*
me nee. The seediubst then be sown in a
well manured hot bed, and Watered From
time to time with lukewArm water. By
this treatment the radishes will, in a very
short time, acquire a sufficient bulk, and
be good to eat. If it be required to get
good radishes in winter, daring the severe
cold, an old cask should bs sawn in two,
and oneshalf of it filled with good earth.
The rddisb seed, beginning to shoot as
before, must then be sown in, the other
half of the barrel pat on the top of the fnll
one, and the whole apparatus Carried duw»
into the cellar. 1 For watering, lukewarm
water should be used as before* In th*
course of five or six the radishes will
be fit to set
