Lnncaster'F'.i-uior saja that no tluss of men havu been ridicnl ed so much, ii ml none have done no tuuch good us tliose wbo’are noniinuted fnifty lumur-V- They havo been, iu ull times and cotin tnea, the benefactors of the men who have treated them with dtl'i. son. They have experimented for the good of the world, while others have simply worked for their own good. They tested theories while others raised crops for mar-, ket. They have given a dignity and glory to t.ho occupation of farming it never had before. Fancy farmers have changed the rvild hog into the Suffolk and Berk shire; the wild cattle of Britain into Shorthorns—tlm mountain sheep, with'its lean body and hair fleece, into the Southdown and Merino. They brought up the milk of cows trom [dots to gallons They have lengthened the sirlom of the bul lock, enlarged the ham ol the hog, given strength to the shoulders of the o.r, rendered finer tho wool of the sheep, added flcolness to the horse, and made beautiful every animal that is kept iu tho service of man. They have improved and hastened the development of all do mestic animals, till they hardly re semble tho animals from which they sprang. Fancy farmers introduced irriga tion and under-draining,also grind ing and cooking food for stock. They havo brought gnano from Fo nt and nitrate of soda from Chili. They introduced and domesticated nil the plants we have of foreign origin. They brought out tho the ory of the rotation of crops an a natural means for keeping up and increasing the fertility of the soil, they t‘uat ground up gypsum and fames, and treated the iuttei' with acid to muke manures of peculiar value, jftiey first analyzed soils an a means of determining wimt was wanted to increase tlioir fertility. They introduced thu most, approved methods of raising and distribut ing 1 water. Fancy farmers or fancy horticul turists have given ua all our varie ties of fruits, vegetables and flow ers. A fancy fanner, iri Vermont, a few years ago originated tho Ear ly Rose potato, which added mil lions of debars to thu wealth of the country, and proved a most impor tant accession m every part of the worll where introduced. Another of tlieso same fancy men originated the Wilson straw berry,and another the Concoid grape. A gentleman hud five daughters, the first of whom married a man by the name of Boor, the second a Mr Little, the third a Air Short, the fourth a Mr Brown, the fifth a Mr Hogg. At tho w edding of the latter h r sisters and their Ims bands wore there, and the old gen tleman said to his guests; ‘T have taken pains to edueat .• daugh ters that they might not well their part in life and do honor to my family. Iti .and that all my pains, care and expectations have turned out nothing but a Poor, Little, Short, Brow n, Hogg. Alexander II! has promotod to a captaincy the young lieutenant who wrapped his own mantle around tho wounded Czar just af ter (he explosion. It was iu this mantle that the wounded man was taken to tho Winter Palace. I have bought you a now cloak, s .id the young Czar to tho soldier. I shal! keep tlip o "tier. He has also given the youth a 'present of 1,200 roubles. The Macon Telegraph and Mes senger says that there will be suits brought to the extent of over two hundred thousand dollars worth of the most valuable and eligible prop erty in Macon, some of winch was sold unnecessarily during the war tor Confederate, money. Other cases go back as far as 1843 or ‘44. Tile Perry Home Journal says; In the Superior Court here last week there was a case in which one farmer prosecuted anothei for hir ing a farm hand that was already' under contract for the year. The jury gave .a verdict, for the plaintiff and the court imposed a fine of thirty dollars and costs. Carloads of hay are being receiv ed at Cartersville every week, which readily sells at $2 00 per hundred. Western meat sella for 12 cents per pound, and corn for $1.25 per bush el. A recent writer advises that girls who wish to have small, prettily shaped mouths should repeat at frerjuent intervals during the day, “Fanny Finch fried five flouudei | ing ti-iti of Fiancis Fowler's father.* Why Some People fail to Succeed- They ttre lazy. They uegleet,di“tal!s. They overlook the small things. They have no eye to business. They hope for fortune to drop in their laps. They let their help waste and de stroy. They h-t, their fires burn at will. They are slovenly in their hab its. They let thcir.jsliops get filthy and dirty. They try how cheap they cau do everything. They fail to advertise. They have too much outside business. They talk politics too much. They fail to invent or have new ideas. They arc penny wise and pound fooli h. They imitate their neighbors, They are not polite or accommo dating. They think most things take too much trouble. They fait to push business. They know not tho best is the cheapest. They know not the power of method. They arc illiberal to home enter prises. 'They attend to everything but their own business. They bocume rusty and lose am-. Lition. A Marvelous Sight- Ellsworth (M0. ,1 American, For several weeks past, the wes tern part of Penobscot has beon soinhwhat excited jo ver what appears to boa line of clothes about two hundred feet high in the air. The garments are clearly distinguish*' bio, consisting of sheets, shirts and other articles Usually sen m a washing. It lias been frequently seen, anil it seldom appears with the same vario y of articles of cloth ing. Tho strangest thing about thiH fctruugo phenomenon is that it is visible only through a few panes of glass in the house of Air Charles Feruham. An Ambitious Pullet. Mr Her eit K Brown, formerly of this city,but now living at Gria woldville, presented thie oilieo yes terday with a pullet's egg that ought to make any full grown hen sick with envy. She is the prop erty of of &Lr W 31 Kitchen**, and her egg measures eight inches ono , way, and six and hve eights tho other. If she can keep this thing up through the summer, she ought to have a special prize at the State lair m October. —Macon Telegraph and Messenger, We find the following oasis in the Columbus Enquirer: A mer chant of our city a jew days since visited his plantation iu Stewart county, a distance of forty miles. He has traveled ihe road for sever al years arid is familiar with the country. On leaving tho city he determined to count the number ot fields on the route planted in cotton. The result of nis observations were that for a distance of forty miles only two fields were planted in cot ton, tho others biing in corn and small grain. The Cuthbert Appeal says a rath jority in that section insist that t-wotihirds of a fruit crop is in sight.
