These, in laet, are nothing more than just the fingers of one hand. But how about five? Why sliould it lie represented by appar ently meainngless symbol V? Simply because V is not V, but a rule hieroglyphic of one hand, the broad stroke standing for the (our lingers united, while the nar r ow oi e stands lor the extended thumb V. in tact, is nothing more than a very degenerate pictorial symbol, like the 55?“ still used by printers in certain circums'iinees to call special attention to a particular paragraph As for X, that is usu ally represented as equivalent to two such hands set side by side; but this interpretation I believe to he erroneous. ! think it much more likely (on the Indian analogy) to stand for “one man up''—that is to say. ten. with a people who count ed by fingers alone, or, in other words, employed a decimal nota tion. If this hypothesis be true, X represents a double of the Indian man figure, with out stretched arms and legs like a colossus, the hand came restless as one of the party who had had more “experience” Ilian the others told of how many fish he had caught out of a "dry ditch.” After the rest had had their say Ifnbe asked to lie allow ed to give an account ol the best lisliing lie had ever done.

(The water was very clear and I could sec the bottom.) No sooner had the min now grabbed the hook, than a trout about 12 inches long swallowed him. 1 gave my pole a jerk, but before I could get it out o( the water another trout three feet long had swallowed it, slid as I saw another about tw'cc as long coming up I waited to see the result of it.

All plants cootain a certain quantity of salt, or the elements of which salt is composed, viz; chloride and sods; therefore, salt furnishes food lor plants, and is consequently a fertilizer. But it lias the most remarkable effects on some crops, as clover and grass, cabbage and beets, all sorts ol roots, and wheal and oats. Appli ed to grain crops it seems lo help these lo procure abundance ol silica, for it produces a stilf straw; it also makes the grain clear and thin-skinned. Being extremely sol tible, it should be used when the crops in a growing condition, which is early in spring. For clover 200 pounds to the acre is used, for wheat 300 or 400 pounds. It is most useful to wheat in rich damp The establishment even runs hotel in Essen Dry fluid j.

He Announce* Hie In Sa vannah* Savannah, Ga., May r 6.—It ap pears to be settled beyond doubt that General Johh B. Gordon will be a candidate for governor before th* democratic convention. U a said to a friend to-day in the Scriven house: “The pressure from all parts of the slate urging me to run is so great that I do not see how I can resist it, and besides some things have been said since my resigna tion and some unwarrantable tlings made about my invitation id participate in the memorial exercises at Montgomery, that cause me to feel very little like re sisting what appears to be a popu lar desire, I am anxious to meet my people face to face. I have never dishonored them, and they have never failed to honor me.” This conversation was repeated to your correspondent to-day. He sought General Gordon, and it was confirmed from his own lips. The general further said: “1 will announce my name as a candidate for the democratic nom ination for governor, and give the reasons that move me to this course when I return to mv home in De- Kalh.” “In the mean'ime,” he added,“if you want to print the news you may sav that I will be a candidate beforo tbe Democratic convention if 1 live, and 1 intend to meet my people face to face as often as I can get to them and whenever I can get to them.” lie Hot His Customer. Dry Goode Reporter. The following story is told of an enterprising New York jobber, the events having taken place some years ago: The merchant in ques tion, having beard of tbe arrival of a country trader who was known lo be a largo purchaser and of un questionable credit, was resolved to get him to visit his establish ment, and once there, he felt sure lie could secure him as a customer. Hu accordingly sent out one of his drummers, of whom he had quite a number, adapt! d lo every taste and disposition. The one sent, how- ever, returned without success No. 2 was dispatched, with no better success, and again No. 3, and so on, until all had gone and come hank wLkoul their man. The merchant cow determined to go himself, and finding that brandy and water and free tickets to the theatre were of no avail, for the country trader did not take one or go to tfn oilier, he was reduced to the necessity of employing a ruse, which sh the sequel shows, was simple, as well as effectual. On taking his departure, after a pleas ant interview, tbe merchant look care to commit the “mistake” of taking the traders’bat instead of his own. Next morning, as was expected, the merchant received a prompt visit at Ins store from the country trader, who called to look up the hat which be supposed had been hurriedly exchanged. This was wlmi tbe merchant wanted, and through this means sold a good hill of goods and secured a regular customer. The store occupied by the Singer Company at Home i* plastered and and finished in hard white. When the flood came the walls were satu rated. A few days ago little blister- like ruptures of tbe bird finish, about au inch in diameter, were noticed. Soon they began to break snd tlie white crust fell off leaving a round spot of mortar. Out of it cnuie the slender shoot of some kind of plant. The seed evidently had been deposited some years ago in the sand. Tbe water of tbe flood caused the seed to sprout and tbe germs made their way to the light. Gen. Longstreel’s remark at At lanta, that tlie enthusiastic recep- tion of Mr. Davis in Alabama and Georgia “is only tbe revival of a haimlessbut beautiful sentiment, of never fading memories,’ is excit ing favorable comment at the North.
