He has the wisdom and lib erality to recognize that cordial rela tions between Mexico and our govern ment will conduce to the advantage of both. If Mexico’s rulers had al- | ways been so sagacious aud prudent the worst disasters iu her modern history would have been averted. In respond ing to the address of the committee who invited him to attend the Pied mont Exposition, President Diaz, among other good things, said: “bo ready are the people of Mexico to forget ill-feelings of the past, in their earnest look to the future, that even now, less than thirty years since a government iu France attempted to foist a foreign government on this re* public, we are making a display for Mexico iu the capitnl exposition at Paris. In even greater degree do I feel tempted to visit such an expo sition as you describe in your geucr- ous invitation, to be held iu the terri- , tory of the United States, and iu what .* Gen. Bragg and yourself have styled the Empire Stale. We desire the closest friendship with your people, aud it is our hojie that you will be come our older sister and that we may be as one family in affection and re gard-” The Verdict of History. The Indianapolis Journal remarks: “Geu. Wade Hampton thinks ex- Confederates should never acknow ledge that they were rebels nr trai- , tore, and is willing to leave the ijues-' tion to be settled by impartial history and posterity. This is all right aud perfectly natural. No traitor ever liked the name, aud it is not expected that fiampton and his associates will voluntarily brand themselves; but this will not prevent the application of proper terms to the conduct of the Confederate leaders by men loyal ■ from the beginning, and by writers of contemporaneous history.” The application of terms is a mat ter of no consequence, truly says the Nashville American. Men conscious of the rectitude of their own inten tions and believing that they fought for a just cause, will never trouble themselves about the kind ot terms applied to them by men so far be neath them that they can never get a horizontal view of their characters. These fellows who mount the political stump of the tripod of a fourth-rate partisau newspaper to insult meu whoso shoe-latchets they arc un worthy to loose do not write history and have no place in it. Muskets and cannon do not decide for mankind and for history the just ness of a cause nor the character of its representatives. The feeble cuibcs oi the human jackals who delight in insulting the vanquished soon rot, with their authors, iu oblivion, but truth lives to vindicate the patriot regardless of the fate of his cause. Let all such slanderers of the South and its leaders take advantage of the brief opi portunity given them, for the last of them will soon have perished and left no name or record behind. Whatever else tho true historian may • say (f the Confederate leaders he wiD ■ay they were pure in motive, stain- leu in character and faithful to the bitter end to their cause. Such will be tho verdict which history will pro nouncc upon these men, and their names will shine bright and unsullied upon its pages when tho«e of their if JWHy detractors shall have perished utterly. The latter will escape from infamy into oblivion. History writes ; : no Dunciad to immortalize the puny ^dslumniatore of the brave and great. A Pecan Grove- New York Independent. The cultivation of the pecan lias been greatly neglected until recently; but now that experiment has shown that a pecan grove is a valuable and paying resource after it has once come into hearing; the trees are becoming very common lit the gardens of South ern homes. The tree is hardy in most of the southern states; but it is in the lower south that it invariably gives the best results. In Texas and Mexico where the tree is supposed to attain to its greatest perfection, large groves may be found in numbers. Of course fruit growers, as well as business men, long for quick profits in theij work. The waiting time for a pecan grove to grow is certainly long and tedious, hut the reward that comes in lime pays for the patience. This is one reason why the pecan has not been cultivated more generally in the south. The time lor the tree to begin to hear profitably is from ten to twelve years from the seed. During the first few years of Us life its growth is comparatively slow, but after it gets well up, with a tap-root deep in the ground, it increases rapidly in size and hearing. Raising it from seed is not advisable; you are never sure of get ting as good a variety as the seed. The most approved method is to plant the pecans exactly where you want the trees to grow; then gralt or bud upon the stocks, when of proper size, the scions or buds secured from a tree that produces the large or paper shell pecans. This is better than buying nursery stock, or raising the trees front seed. In the former case the trees will not do so well when trans planted, and in the latter they will be of an inferior stock. The expense connected with a pecan grove is largely made on the setting out and budding ol trees After that work is accomplished the expense is very little. The land between the rows of the trees can be used for gar den vegetables and field crops. Many raise sugar cane, which pays well and helps to fertilize the grove. One should not, however, attempt to start a pecan grove on anything but the best land. It is true that they will grow on almost any kind of land, but lor the best results a rich, alluvial soil, such as is found along our rivers and large creeks is desirable. There is plenty of this kind of soil all through the south, which could be profitably set to pecans These rich bottom lands, or low hammocks, are consider ed unsuited for most crops on account of occasional overflows. The pecan trees would not he injured by such inundations, tor many of the best groves growing in Mexico and "Texas are lound on just such land. There is certainly money in tjje trees tor those who are willing to wait for the trees to come into hearing. 1 he original outlay is not great, and no risk is connected with the business. The profits of groves are differently estimated by those growing the nuts for a business, (Soils, cultivation, favorable locations and other circum stances so affect the hearing ol any fruit orchard that estimates made from the productions of one will he far from actual facts when applied to another. Still, an approximate estimate of what a pecan grove will do under ordinarily favorable conditions may be made for those who are of a figure loving dispo sition. One can count on forty bushels of nuts to the acre, during the twelfth year which will be worth from $2 to $4 per bushel. After that period the yield will increase rapidly. At 20 years of age the trees will yield five bushels to the tree and double that amount ten years later. The paper shell varieties usually sell tor $5 to $8 per bushel; but taking a low average of $2.50 per bushel we would have $100 from one acre the twelfth year. A twenty-acre grove would then cost $800 for the first twelve years, including original cost of land plaffting and interest and taxes. On the 20 acres you would get §2,000 for the investment in twelve years. On your 3,400 trees you would gather a crop of 17,000 bushels in twenty years, making a return of $42,500. The increase will then continue steadily until the trees become immense forest trees. The cost of picking, packing and shipping the nuts is all the expense now connected with the grove. In 50 years a fortune could thus be reaped from a pecan grove, and a man who plants such trees feeling that he may never gather much of its fruit, is a blessing to posterity and his own coun ty- The -Sparta Iskmaelitc asks: “Isn't it time for the jicople of Georgin to quit taxing themselves to run courts to furuish convict hands to a few favoured individuals in the state?” This is a question that will he asked a good many times in Georgia. Philadelphia claims a population of upward of a million. With her saloons cut down to 1,800 there is only about one to every 1,000 inhabitants This makes her considerably dryer than Boston under the law limiting the sa loons to one for every 500 inhabitants. How to Buy a Home. Such is the caption of an editorial in the Augusta Chronicle which will readily put the average man to think ing “How to buy a home?” is a mo mentous and deep’y absorbing ques tion. The current number of Scribner’s Magazine has an interesting article expla'ning the working of building ind loan associations Macon has several strong companies of this sort, all doing well and serving as valuable factors in the building up of the city. The writ er of the article alluded to declares that it is quite as easy to show by fig- ures the eeonomy of buying one’s house with the assistance of a building and loan association as compared with paying rent. The following statement is only given as a form of comparison; every prospective borrower can change the figures to suit his locality. Cand I) occupy houses worth $3,000 each, (lot $600 and building $2,400.) C is a tenant paying $25 a month. D, with $600 in cash, has borrowed $2,400 on twelve shares of a building and loan association, and built his house. Supposing that D’s shares mature in twelve years, their accounts at the end ol twelve years will stand thus: C has paid out $3,600 in rent and has nothing to show it. I) has paid out: Monthly due- . .•1 i l,728 Interest 1,728 1‘miiiuni, pr'ct 120 Taxes 2(10 liisuram-e 100 Interest on value of lot 4:t2 Total -f I,:508 ■Some of the managers of theatres in New York complain of the number of requests that they receive to give performances in aid of the public charities and all kinds of institutions. They say that if they acceded to all these requests their actors and ac tresses would be engaged in charita ble work every night of the week, and the whole of the receipts at the box office would lie turned over to philanthropic collectors at the end of each performance. In several cases clergymen who preach against the theatre have asked managers to give performances in aid of some charita ble society in which they are inter ested. "It is.rough on us," one of them said, “but our theaetres do a great deal of this kind of work every year.” The recent interstate aud state drill seems to have set the ball going, at least two enterprises of the ifcme kind have matured into certainty within the last few days. Atlanta proposes to have an interstate and state drill in September, with 85,000 in prizes. In Charleston a drill association with 85,000 capital will soon be formed. It will arrange for a drill to occur, probably' in October with 81,500 aR first prize in the “free for all,” and 8500 for the best drilled company in South Carolina, which has not com peted ill an interstate drill. Both the Atlanta and Charleston drills will draw large crowds. Macon will prob ably reach for the big persimmon in both contests.—Telegraph. Mr. Joseph Jefferson is constantly doing something which makes the popular regard for the man keep its level with the popular admiration for the actor. That was a beautiful net of his the other day when lie hired Niblo’s theatre and invited all the orphan homes and other charitable institutions for children in New York to send their little ones to see “Rip Van Winkle.” The house was crowded with children who were delighted with the play, as children ever are when Jefferson is “Rip." Mrs. Cleve land occupied one of the boxes. Mr. Jefferson never played to a more ap preciative audience aud lie never did a more graceful thing than the giving of this performance. Sam Joues knows a good thing when he sees it, aud he is perfectly satistied with the climate of Georgia and would not swap it for that of California, aud that his nose is like that of the little hoys—it won’t stay blowed. He thinks that the people of San Francisco arc “quick,” and go at all paces but a moderate oue. Says a Washington eorrcspoudcl: “It is regarded here us very credita ble to Mrs. Harrison’s good feeling that she has on the nmntcl of her bou doir a photograph of the amiable mother and daughter who preceded hcrcself nud daughter as the ladies of the White House. It is a picture takcu ty Prince several years ago only for private circulatiou aud ucv er allowed by Mrs. Cleveland to he sold.” Large and Small Crops. The indications arc favorable to a large yield of all the staple agricul tural products of the country this year and the farmers generally are iu good spirits. A recent statistical publication of Agricultural Department nt Wash ington gives some very interesting figures showing the comparative val ue of crops ill this country for the past fifteen years. It would appear from these figures that short crops sometimes pays well. A striking in stance was furnished by r the corn crop of 1881, which was the shortest that has been known since 1874. Its to tal was loss than 1,200,000,000 bush els and yet it was worth almost as much ns the greatest corn crop on record. The average price of corn in 1881 was 03.0 cents per bushel, which gave a value of 8750,000,000 to the short crop of that year. Last year our corn crop was about 2,000,- 000,000 bushels, but it brought only 38.1 per bushel. The total crop, therefore, was worth only 8077,000.- 600, against 875!),000,000, lor a crop which was smaller by over three quarters of a million bushels. But it would be a great mistake to con clude that the short crop was really more valuable than the larger one. The fallacy of such a supposition is thus set forth by the New York Com mercial Bulletin: “According to the official report of distribution, issued in March last, out of tho crop of hist year no less than 1,816,000,000 bush els of corn was retained within the country where grown for local con sumption, and the large part ot it, obviously, for consumption by the farmers who produce it. In 1881 it would have been impossible to con sume at any price, 011 or near tho farms, as much as three quarters oi the quantity so consumed in 1888-0. The consequence was that fewer cat tle and hogs were raised, and meats became dearer for a year or two, aud meanwhile the cost of corn iu the markets induced more economical consumption for human food even on the farms. It is plain that the (nice assumed for the entire crop cuuuot be applied to the part consumed 011 the farms. It is plain that the farmer gets nothing for that, except iu the value of other products sold, which arc separately reckoned, aud in their selling price lie rarely gets the value of the corn actually led wheu the price is high. In effect, tlieu, the price applies only to the part left for eale. which iH reduced to a very small quantity wheu the crop is short, be cause the farmer must keep his cat tle alive, but rose to 371,000,000 bushels last year.” This is good reasoning iu any case but it applies with especial force to the farmers of the South because tkdy buy largely of grain aud meat. It is comforting to know that they arc becoming more independent year by year aud in many localities which not long ngo depended on the West for supplies of this sort there is now a surplus every year. The recent rains have refreshed the hopes of the farm ers, and from every qurrtcr come cheering reports of crop prospects This may he memorable as a j’car of plenty. Mr. E. Slattery, of Delhi, La., says her son, 14 years of age, had a dread ful time with ulcers, sores and blotches which followed chicken pox. After using many remedies without benefit, she gave him Swift’s Specific, which cured him sound and well. KILL FLIES. Insect 1‘oivder Flv l’upor. Cassels’ Pharmacy, 118 Broad street. JERSEY MILK.
