Yon can’t drive two kinds of religion to the pole in a family, with any kind of success. You may drive two kinds of religion single or tandem, bnt when you hitch them up together ani, they try to travel along at a good road gut, one will go off its feet and gallop while the other trots, and then the gab loping religion will catch and come down to a trot and the other will break and there they are, sec-sawing, and air full of creeds and doctrines, and there is danger they will run away and smash something. No, it is better for the people who are going to marry, to have their measures taken for the same kind of religion, and then each can wear the other’s religion, and all will be love- “I don’t know,” says the bad boy, tak ing an apple, “shout this thing of wait ing till you find ont about a girl’s relig ion before yon love her.

A Baptist girl falls in love with a young fellow that is a perfect specimen of manhood, bravo* noble, intelligent, ten der to her and as kind as a man can be, and they begin to plain for the day when he can take her to a home and be all the world and a small section of heav en to her, when some day a friend says to her, “your lover is one of the noblest men I ever saw, but it is a pity he is. a Catholic.” Then the trouble commen ces.

In August I- began to fill it with for; age corn, cat with a reaping hook.' Eight two-horse wagon loads were laid straight and compactly trod den, when my crop gave out and my silo was not half full. Then I added all the peaviness I could get add after packing them in I was still two feet and a half from the l6jf. There was ho' ovef and weight Vith stones and barrets of dirt and protected it from the rain. On yesterday I opened my silo removed the weights and boards from one end and cut down with an axe into the contents. The mass had settled to a thickness of two feet. -The peavtnes Were black and utterly spoiled. The forage corn at the sides and end was brown, that towards the' middle the color of cucumber pickles, and the whole thing smelled like a vinegar barrel I was discouraged, and was think ing seriously of composting the whole concern, when my cows sauntered up and began to eat greedily the pickled stuff. This was encouraging, and I chewed a stalk and found it sweet, although it smelled so sour. A peculiar but not unpleasant flavor was notice able, dne doubtless to fermentation of the corn. A11 this accorded with the description I bad read of ensi- lage, and I began to feel better. Upon a veiy short acquaintance the cows became fond of it and now will eat it all day from a rack, and the pigs and horses are not indiffer ent to it. . . But for the drouth, I would have had twice -the quantity to pack away, and that I think would have improved the quality by making a denser mass. Possibly my weights were riot heavy enough for a fair test, and the wqllsof my pit were not as smooth as they might have been to exclude the air. In spite, however, of these defects the fod der has been preserved, without cutting, in a condition to be eaten, tvhich was the object of the experi ment. The loss of the pea vines is attributed to their want of compact ness in their tangled condition, and I doubt if they can be preserved un cut without extra heavy pressure. But let us hear from other experi menters. I am enough encouraged to build another and better silo next summer. A. L. Hull. Athens.

The mineral resources of our section will yet, in our opin ion, be the'source of an immense revenue, and we are glad to notice that attention is being paid to the development of lands having traces of Mineral deposits. The increasing use of asbestos, both as a non-conductor of heat and a fire-proofing material, is fre quently noted. While asbestos has been betore the public for many years in substantially the same shape as at present offered by manufactu rers, it is only in a comparatively recent period that its merits have been fully appreciated.' The name in its literal significance means un changed by fire. The material is also practically indestructible by ac ids. It differs from other known mineral substances in possessing fibers resembling silk or flax, some varieties of which can be spun; Wo ven and felted. The ordinary kinds of asbestos can be reduced to a pulp or impalpable fibre. In all these forms it retains peculiar interlac ing or binding ‘ properties. Asbes tos, by its nature, is peculiarly adap ted for use for structural purposes wherever an incombustible material is required, 1 kind in all places where a serviceable nod-conductor is need ed. Used, with a proper spreading medium it becomes a desirable paint or cement for roofs, and when still moire carefully prepared it serves an excellent purpose as a preservative of wood,and forms the Msis of very- desirable paints for both interior and. exterior finish. When manufactur ed in the form of felting It is very useful as a covering for steam, hot water and hot air pipes. Aq a build ing felt it is no less serviceable in the construction ol fire-proof buildings. Atlanta will not be behind in any thing.

Athens Pets Agafa la Trouble. Greenesboro, Ga., Feb. 19.— Bailiff J. H. English, with q posse of eight men, last night arrested John Fisher and Wiliam and John Knowlan on warrants charging them with entering Georgia railroad cars. The posse first went to the house of Knowlan, but he was ab sent A detachment was left there and the other’s went to Fisher’s house, arrested him and his brother “Lum.” A large quantity of goods, whisky, boots, shoes, sheeting, leather, velvet, tobacco, etc., was recovered. ( Knowland came in about four o’clock and was then ar rested. He offered resistance • but was overpowered. The possee brought the prisoners to Greenes boro this morning, and also three wagon loads of merchandise. One of the men, Lum Fisher made his escape, the other three were lodged injvd. The case was worked up by Detective Stone, of the Georgia railroad. The men arrested area regularly organized band and the deprations committed bv them am numerous.

In fact from the appearance of everything, we are forced to the conclusion that the fanning class are, by no means, dis couraged by the failures of last year, but have gone to work with renew ed energy. It is encouraging to find such a spirit existing, among the tiller* of the soil, for, as every one knows, upon their success or failure depends the prosperity or adversity of the- country at large. As we travel on, and look upon the fields, which before the cold weather were covered with a fine staqd of oats, which seemed to promise a most copious harvest, and find tftembare, the irreparable loss to the farmer is evident- More oats were sown last fall than ever before, and are. very nearly aH killed. Some, however, are sowing over, but as seed are very scarce, the acreage sown will be smaU. We learn that on last Saturday night, at a negro frolic on the place of Mr. John M.
