COP: EK FLifflß AIIC TWELFTH SWEET <!>(!> NATI, (iIUO, TAL BOTTOM, TALBOT COUNTY, GA., TUESDAY. MARCHS, 1881. A Talk with Artemus Ward. I nic>t, Artemus Ward but once. I was quite youug at, tho time, and was acting as city editor of the Star, published at Schenectady, N’ew York. AYhiln I was city o.lis tor of that sheet I mot Artemus. I was standing on a bridge at the time, and in talking about news paper work, was about to say some thing in regard to my heavy edi torial responsibility, but Ward checked me by saying: What creek is this ? Creel: ! I exclaimed. Why, this is. the Erie Canal. lfow far is it navigable ? Why, of course, it is navigable from one end to the other. Well, solemnly replied Ward, that beats all the streams that I ever heard of. By the way, I think I can make out somo large boats anchored up the stream there, what are they, propeller-s or side-wheel ers ? 1 replied that they were mere ca nal boats, nd were moved by horse power. Ah ! I didn't think the stream was as shallow as that, said Arte unis. As shallow ns what ? AYhy, you say that fhoso boats are pulled along by horses. Now, of course, they must walk along in front of the boat, mustn't they. j used to run a stone boat on my la mented Uncle John's farm, and 1 distinctly remember that the horses walked along in front. 1 mentally declared that I had never before met with such igno rance. I spent some time in ex plaining the peculiarities of tho big ditch, and just as I had begun to think tlml at last. I had set the stranger right on tlio subject, ho knock:d my hopes into kindling wood Jiy remarking: I anpposo that when the stream lines up in summer they put. llio boals on wheels, don't they ? Then 1 began again and explain ed every feature in tin canal, train New Volk to Eric. How atten tively lie listened to my words. I can still see that melancholy face, lit by the sad light of the stars, and ihose mournful eyes looking inlo mine so earnestly .and again f heal - , as I did then, after I had talked for nearly half an hour, going fully into the details of boasting, the low, pathetic drawl; Any saw mills on this stream that, you know of ?‘ Shortly after some gentlemen came along who seemed to be nc ipiaintod with my obtuse friend. I'reKeutly one called him Arlenius, and then 1 commenced toiclh c'. I always 11 fleet best when I'm hid away somewhere, so I went and hid my elf.—Detroit AVee Press. A Cruel Joke. Bolivar went home, and entenng the mom where his mother was, ex cl iined: ‘Say, rna, have you heard about Mi. llraley ?‘ ‘Why, no,‘ answered Mrs. Boli var, with an air of surprise, ‘What about him? 1 ‘This morning lie got up early. 1 ‘Ves; go on.' Wait tiil 1t il you. Ho got up early, and remarked that he felt very well,* ‘Go on, 1 exclaimed Mrs Bolivar, after a short pause, ‘Just wait. He said that he felt unusually well, While Mrs Braley was getting breakfast ho went and shelled a lot of corn for the pigs, lie came back to the house, still saying that lie felt well.' ‘ VV hy don’t you go on ?' ‘Wait till I get rnv breath. I‘vo run from all the way down town lie sat down to the table and Vte the heartiest breakfast you ever saw. When he got urr from the ta ble he rernarked egain that, he felt well. Then he turned around, and just as he g t half way between tno table and the water bucket, he— 1 ‘Dropped dead !* exclaimed Mrs Bolivar, ‘O, no; turned around and told his wife that ho felt much batter.' ‘You impudent scoundrel !‘ ex claimed Mrs Bolivar; and, seizing a broom, she knocked the boy down. No one knows where the joke ori ginated, and the boy does not cave. The Georgia commissioner of ag riculture will have 2,500 or 3,000 packages of melon seed for distri bution, with itOO or 1,000 packages of tobacco seed.

This has been one of the curses of the South, and, strange to say, ‘.he fascination of planting a .largo ac crcage seems to he an irresistible temptation in the face of repeated failures. All know who have tried both ways that one acre woU plans ted and cultivated is not only culti vated with far less labor and wear and tear of horeo flesh, hut makes a larger crop and is saved with less labor. Yet there are hundreds of farmers who, after half preparing their land, plant twice as much as they ought got hopelessly in tho grass and weeds, are always in a hurry, yet never catch up with their work, and after all make a poor ciop. This is not sensible and does not pay. Good cultivation is abso lutely essential to successful farm ing, hence every farmer ought to get the very best tools. They may cost a little more, but they pay in the end. Crops should be planted in ground well prepared and so ear ly that the farmer is ready for ths grass before it is ready for him,then there will be some chance of keep ing ahead of it. A crop once bad ly in tho grass never fully recovers from it. Therefore all tiino and la bor saving machines, if good, are paying investments. If tho planter does tho work of two mini and horses and enables a farmer to get through planting early and ready to cultivate it is a good investment. Southern farmers cannot afford to plod along with old fashioned tools, wlicn others are striding ahead, do ing twice the work with halt tho la bor. The Dollar. N Y Commercial Bulletin. The truth is the whole nation is ahs rhed i" the exclusive pursuit of the dollar. .So long as that can te got, at, nobody cares much about the method of its procurement. The drift of the undercurrent, the development of secret social dis ease, t.ho lndcn growtn of huge so cial wrongs, tho concealed inroads of injustice, tho silent accumula tion of material for a coining na tional explosion—these are matters that are left to the earn of a few speculative observers or pessimists, whom ‘‘practical men*' tiro not dis posed to follow; although it gener ally turns out that tho “practical meu“ prove to have been blind while tho more thoughtful observ ers wero truo seers. What then can we expect from patriotism for remedying tho mischievous tenden cies of tho existing corporate mo nupolioij? Nothing, Patriotism is profoundly asleep. W do not say it, is extinct among us; but, what amounts almost to the same thing, it. is hidden ho deep down in the public heart Unit only tho thun derclap of a great national misfor tune could arouse it. These arc not the times to call forth great men; they arc the times to belittle all men. small and great. When all tho bad elements we are now stor ing tip have ripened and the great social upheaval has come, then from among •ur fifty millions a great ,savior will be somewhere forthcoming; but at present that man sleeps 'in prosperous content and wo shall not hear from him until the crisis is fully come. Wide Mouths. Wide mouths have come into fashion for women. This is a change from the prevailing style of the past year or two. The proper mouth of the present season is worn in a constant but mild smile, the corners being drawn hack hori zontally, with the lips left closed. The expression is one amiable,quiet satisfaction with all the world -as though the mind was free from sor row and the feet free from corns. Care should bo taken not io broid en this into an active grin, except on mirthful occasions; nor should the lips be compressed. All should ha in respose. The lips may ho reddened, if the natural color he to ) light. - The governor ot North Carolina, and the governor of South Carolina, sind the governors of Georgia,Mary land, Virginia and Tennessee have selected Senator Wade Hampton to speak for the southern portion of the ‘Okl Thirteen* at the Cowpens centennial.
