\Y u\\suVe ('uv\Wvu\‘^. Tlic larsrcMt peach orchard in t.lic world is in Chambers county, Alabama. It contain# 550 acres, and lias yrefried $70,000 worth of peaches. A Haiti more clergyman recently preached on the subject, ‘ Why wasLnzarus a beggar ?" Me suppose because he didu't advertise.— BunltUe. The Central American Submarine Tele graph Conapan3\ the object of which is to connect the whole of Central America with the United States and Europe by cable, has been organized. One passenger is killed by the railroads for every 41,718.775 miles traveled. So you need not fear to travel on account of attend ing danger, especially since the railroad fare is only three cents a mile. A tramp, according to the construction of the Legislature of Vermont, is “ a male per son over sixteen years of age (not a blind person), going about from place to place, and asking or subsisting upon charity, or who is without ascertainable moans oi' legitimate subsistence.” The following verse is sung with no impi ous intotition in San Francisco revival meet ings among the sailors: Oh, haul away, Lord, haul away ! And haul 1113' soul ashore. So cheerily oh, Lord, cheerily oh ! A long pull and a str ng pull, and a puli evermore. President Ilaygood, of Emory College, meets the assertions of politicians that Geor gia is in a state of decadence with some .sig- nificant facts. lie says that in 187 G the improved lands in the State amounted to 28,737,539 acres. In 1880 the aggregate had grown to 29,815,581 acics, the increase of four years being sufficient to provide farms of 100 acres each for ncarty 11,000 families. The colored people are buying farms of from twenty to fiftv acres, and deriving profitable returns from them. A bill is before the North Carolina Legis © nature to so amend the law in regard to capi tal punishment as to take it out of the hands of the Sheriffs of the various counties, and cause all such executions to take place in the State penitentiary, under the supervision of the Warden, after a lapse of ninety days from the passage of the sentence. The plan is favored both on the score of economy and to put an end to bungling executions, such as have recently taken place. It is generally imagined that slave trading is now almost a tiling of the past, hut that it still is carried on to a considerable extent in the Portuguese Indian possessions of Timor and the adjoining islands is pretty well es tablished. The regular price of a male slave from twelve to fifteen years of age is fifty rupees. A female slave of the same age fetches from eighty to a hundred rupees. The natives of the Island of Macassar are the principal dealers in this traffic. Even some of tho authorities have kept slaves. The missionaries have rendered valuable services iu suppressing the traffic, but organized force is required to effectually put an end to it. Canned goods are likely to encounter seri ous trouble in getting into France. The French Director General of Customs has in st.ructcd the different chambers of commerce throughout that country that the Consulting Commission of Public Hygiene decides that there are serious objections, on the ground of public health, to permitting the sale of food products in tin cans which are soldered on the inside with lead alio}-. Directions have been accordingly issued prohibiting the sale In France of food in cans having the fault •noted after August I‘, 1881- The French Government apparently has joined the gen eral European raid upon American cheap food produets. The monument to the late Duke of Bruns wick, at Geneva, built at so great a cost, is showing ominous signs of giving way. It is built on land which not many years ago was reclaimed from the lake. Such land is noto- treacherous, for often beneath it and only superficially covered there are enormous holes hollowed out by the ice action when the Rhone glacier swept over the present site of Geneva. A few summers ago a long lake wall at Vevcy disappeared in the night and left not a truce behind. In the case of the Brunswick monument every precaution was taken to assure its safety by placing it on an exceedingly thick and seemingly solid foun dation of concrete, but it appears only too probable from present indications that the ground underneath is subsiding, and that the structure is threatened with serious danger, if not with complete destruction. A curious experiment is being made in Chicago by a doctor of the name of De La Ranta. This is nothing less than an effort to make a negress white. Re La Banta lias so far been quite successful, the face of his patient having bleached considerably by the use of the lotion with which lie treats her. The Doctor does not in the least doubt the complete success of his experiment, but is afraid that he will not be able to keep his negress white after he has got her to that color. II is plan of operation is. lie says, very simple, and consists simply in destroying the color on the cuticle of a patient, which makes a negro black faster than the blood can make it. If, however, the application of the lotion is given up, the color returns to the cuticle and the whitened negro becomes black again Grass is king of Dakota, the proposed new State. The Territory lies entirely in the broad Valley of the Missouri and that of the Red river of the North. The Black llills, with untold wealth, are partly within her western borders, while on the east are lowa and Minnesota, with their railroads reaching after her abundant grain crops. Besides gold and silver, coal is found in the northern and western districts, and petroleum springs from the rocks in many places. The climate pre sents less that is objectionable to the Eastern emigrant than either of the adjoining States, its winters are milder and its atmosphere is of the most remarkable salubrity. The soil is a rich vegetable mould, ranging from the most fertile alluvium in the bottom lands—of which there arc many thousands of acres along the Missouri and its tributaries—to the more compact upland prairie* thoroughly well adapted to the production of wheat and other grains. Oats, peas, barley, and such small grains attain the ripest perfection; but the great and crowning wealth of Dakota, out ranking gold, wheat, corn, and all else, is her incomparable crop of grass. Thousands of square miles of her button lands yield two tons or more per acre per year at a single cutting, while away north, in the Red river valley, four tons per year are secured by two cuttings. For stock raising, woo! growing, dairying, grain growing, and the production of root crops, Dakota possesses unsurpassed advantages, Public Roads. Tennessee is a progressive State. Within , her l*r<icrs she has peace, prosperity ami i plenty, and these blessing! are 30 corospica ous that a steady tide of immigration is flow ing into tho State. The attention which the Legislature of the State is paj-ing to one subject is au evidence of the interest felt in material affairs. Nearly every newspaper in the .State for sometime I has been hammering aw a}’ lustily on the mat ter of public roads. So much lias been said about it that the Legislature could not ignore it and consequently a number of statesmen are devoting their energies to the develop ment of a road system that will do the people some good. Various Suggestions have been made, but the most popular seems to be a proposition to impose a road tax upon all kinds of property in the State. It is thought that there is more justice in this plan than in any other that could be proposed. Tennessee will lake a long stride along the pathway of civilization when she establishes a good S3's‘em of public highwaj'S. All coun tries which hold the first rank in civilization have good public roads. A country with bad roads at the tail end of the procession. Spain is a case in point that fully establishes the correctness of this position. Here in Georgia a good system of public highways is one of the greatest necessities of the hour. We can well afford to delay regis tration laws, local option bills, and a multi tude of other measures, but if we desire to draw immigrants here and make ‘•the wilder ness blossom as the rose,” we must show the new comers that we can afford them ordinary facilities for traveling and carrying their merchandise to and from market. When we do this the State wili developc rapidlj-. But until we give our attention to this important matter people will continue to confine their settlements to the cities, towns and spots along the lines of railway. Let 11s follow the example of Tennessee, and go to work on these internal improvements.— Atlanta Post- Appeal. A minister at Ayr, Scotland, recently in troduced the following petition into his Sun day prayer: “O Lord, bless the Established Church, and the Free Church, and the United Presbyterian Church, and all the other churches.
