A Vrr.’ Findent Younts Hun,
Os Willii.ni and John Sct.-tt, after
ward Lord Stowell and Lord Elton, I
Lord John Russell used to tell this !
story: When they were young men at
the bar, having had a stroke of profes
sional luck, they deti
brate the occasion by having a dinner
at the tavern and going to the play.
When it was time to call for the reck
oning William Scott dropped a guinea.
Ho and his brother searched for it in
vain and came to the conclusion that it
had fallen between the boards of the
uucarpeted floor.
“This is a bad job," said William,
‘we must give up the play.”
“Stop a bit,” said John. “I know a ,
trick worth two of that,” and he calk'd
a waitress.
“Betty,” said he. "w< ‘ve dropped 2
guineas. See if you can find them. ”
Betty went down on her hands and
knees and found the guinea, which had
rolled under the fender.
“That's a very good girl, Betty,”
said John Scott, pocketing the coin,
“and when yon find the other you can
keep it for ymir trouble. ” And the pru
dent brothers went with light hearts to
the play and so eventually to tbo bench
and the woolsack.
I'i«h In Icebound Water*.
Fish do not breathe air, but the life
supporting constituent of a>r—oxygen
gas —which is s iluble in water to the
extent of three volumes in 100 at ordi
nary temperatures and four in 100 at
freezing point.
The water containing the dissolved
oxygen is made to pass over the gills,
where it is separated from the blood
only by a very thin membrane, through
which the gas is able to pass.
Fish in icebound rivers have to de
pend entirely upon this store of oxygen
for their respiration, and if it becomes
exhausted they are suffocated, just as
we should be if deprived of oxygen.
It rarely happens, however, that any
considerable area of water is entirely
covered with ice, especially in the case
of rivers. Holes and cracks are almost
sure to occur here and there, by which
the oxygen of the air can reach the wa-
I ter and become dissolved in it. Daring
I a Jong frost fish may always be found
congregated beneath air holes in large
numbers. They are there to breathe.—

Early I no of Tobacco.
1 have heard my grandfather say that
! one pipe was handed from man to man
; round about the table. They had first
i silver pipes; the ordinary sort made use
l of a walnut .-hell and a straw. Tobacco
i was sold then for its weight in silver.
I I have heard some of our old yeomen
neighbors say that when they went to
i Malmesbury or Chippenham market
I they culled out their biggest shillings
to lay in the scales against the tobacco.
Sir W. R., standing in a stand at Sir
Robert Poyntz s park at Acton, took a
pipe of tobacco, which made the ladies
quit it until lie had done.—“ Brief Lines

LAND POOR.
A Scheme to Give Every Man a
Farm, by a Person Who is
Land Poor.
Al ii. Fihtoii : Some years ago 1 took an
idea that land was the safest investment
that a man could make in Georgia, and as
a consequence, I am now land poor; have
more than I can profitably make use of,
and consequently want to get rid of some,
or all of it, and I have decided to adopt
the following measure to get rid of it:
I will say, in the first place, that the
land is the best in Monroe county, is fine
ly w ;■'■!, I ' . i i;-! it - ■ ‘l ■ cat
tic, sheep and hogs, and is the best tor
cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains
in the county, There are a number of
tenant houses on the place, and a home
recently built that cost inc over $3,000 to
build. The land, in the first place, cost
me from $25 down to $4 per acre—saying
altogether,about $lO per acre, without
improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will
average the whole place at $lO per acre,
in the following way : I will have the
entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into
50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more
than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and
less than 50to another, according to his
ability to pay for it, as the case may be,
the entire quantity to be drawn for.
In other words, the number of lots and
quantity of land to be put in a hat or box,
and drawn out und r approval of a com
mittee of gentlemen, ut some stated time,
so that all shall have a fdr chance to get a
home at a low price, ami no »ne has a
chance oflosing their nt >ney, ■ r failing to
get their value, as paid, and some get a
farm at far less than cost
The land is 12 miles ft' m .Macon, a city
of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is
adapted to ma:ket gardening, and for
northern people who know how to work,
it offers a fine p irtunity Dr a<■ >’.ony of
energetic citizens.
It is all together, and would make a fine
settlement, having the best <-f pastures,
water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is
timbered with hickory, beach, oak and
pine, and some cedar ; in fact, it is the best
place 1 know of, and 1 am satisfied the ed-
■
say.
I would be glad to have any parties who
mean business, to go over the plantation,
familiarize themselves with the advan
tages, and communicate with me at
Barnesville, before going into the matter,
assuring them that I mean what I say.
I have also a farm of 50 acres near
Barnesville for sale, on good terms.
In addition to the terms offered above, I
have concluded to make the terms of pay
ment in four annual payments without
interest, which is tantamount to putting
the price of the land very low. The
titles to the land have been in the posses
sion ot one or two parties for years, and
have never been questioned ami are as
go ■ I as gold.
