MoVILLE. Maiicii 15.—As a result of the heavy rains of the past week gardens are flooded and the creeks are booming. Raftsmen are busy getting off timber.

While Mr. Tilden is regarded as an exponent of Democratic principles and represents tlie popular sentiment on the subject of reform, yet on account of physical in firmities and other causes, lie is not considered a safe leader.

Comparative Merits of Seedling and Budded Trees. Editor! Telegraph and Menenger:— From recent observations, both in print and in conversations with farmers, I bare noticed a disposition to plant seedling peach trees. That this is a great mistake there can be no doubt. One reason given for tills course is, that seedling trees are longer lived, and another that the liability to injury from frost Is nut so great. Admitting this to he so (and it is by no means a settled fact that such Is the case), the benefit thus derived would be more than overbalanced by the abso lute uncertainty attending the production of varieties such us would be desirable. Very few varieties of peaches reproduce themselves when the seeds are planted. A nmo who plants an orchard of seedlings and writs from one to five years to sec fruit on Iris trees, and then finds it worth less,certainly would be greatly disappointed —to say nothing of tho loss sustained in ‘ l>aec taken up by the trees, os well as .minished yield of field crops grown on the ground occupied by the orchard. In fact, any thinking man who will giv J the subject a moment’s reflect! ,n will see at once the great risk incurred and the consequent loss sustained. By tlie selec tion of suitrble varieties from a reliable nurseryman you can make no mistakes. Each tree will bear tlie fruit it purports to bear, and the day of npening can be told with precision. Barring accidents, no dis- X Hitmen's will be experienced us to re- . It is a fact well known that all large rowers plant with a view to have their ult come into market at such times as will command the best prices. If the or chard is u large one. tlie season of ripening will be a continuous one from the very earliest until mid-summer with Southern growers. How WVmld you accomplish this result with seedlings? It would be simply impossible. To give in detail the reasons why most varieties of the peach will not reproduce themselves is unnecessary. It is a fact that they do not and tills oughttu' be taken in this case as conclusive. If doubts still exist in tlie minds of some who will have seedlings, let them make the ex periment and satisfy themselves. If a grower desires shade trees or fruit that will ripen mostly in mid-summer and from that on until frost, regardless of size, quality or looks, and with tome of it green and unfit for the hogs when frost comes, I would recommend seedlings by all means. Of course you may get some excellent fruit, but you are working, waiting and fighting against fearful odds, with no reus- onable hope of success. H. A Lesson not In the Books. Early County Sews.

London Telegraph. When the letter of the King of the Belgians reached Gordon, inviting him him to take chaise of tlie Upper Con go and to endeavor to extirpate slavery there, the General was living on the Mount of Olives, studying day by day the topography of tlie Holy Sepulchre. People may wonder how, having made arrangements for his. West African ex pedition, and being on the point of starting for the Congo, he could so sud denly alter his plans and set forth for tlie Nile. The fact is that Gordon de spises “preparations” and dispenses with them. When, being returned to London from Brussels, he had au in terview beforedeparting for Egypt with a friend interested in his mission, a conversation of tlie following nature— if not in these preciso words—took place: “Have you got your kit ready, Gen eral?” 1 “I have got what I always have. This hat is good enough, and so are these clothes. I shall start as I am; tny boots are quite strong “ “And how are you off for cash? You must have some ready money.” “Ah! I forgot it. Yes.

A short while ago we mentioned how hoodoo conjuring bags were made and of the Importance attached to them by ne groes. That thia peculiar superstition ex, lets only among a certain class of negroes is readily admitted: that it is gradually passing away is denied. Among the old negroes of town and the young ones of the country the faith in “cunjer bags” is as strong as ever. This is proven by the operations of the sharp city negroes. One of them was ar rested by the police yesterday as being a suspicious character having a large amount of jewelry In hit possession. In bis trunk was found a lot of magnetic iron are or lodcstone, small pieces of whicli were wrapped up in bits of red flannel. In each bag was a piece about the size of a filbert, and another very small piece. Pos- more. “How much? Would one or two thousand pounds do, in notes and bills?” “Oh, dear, no. A hundred pounds apiece for myself and Stewart will bb enough. What on earth do we want more for?” Thus the frugal hero departed, we believe, with no more titan £4UU in ready money, but meeting an old and valued Soudanese acquaintance in Cairo, who was very poorly off, Gordon could not resist the claims of auld lung syne”—even when played on the black keys—and lent or gave his old African friend the greater part of his traveling money. Ho lias always shown a similar contompt for that, which is tho object of so many desires” Atnnetimo in his chequered life he possessed, wc believe, a sum of £8,000, and a friend pressed him to place It in safety at proper interest. Gordon re* plied he himself could take care of it, but tho sum became reduced to £- ; 000 by secret charities and benefactions within a year, and six months after that his friend discovered thatonly £30 remained of the original amount. The rest lmd gone to thejpoor and “him that hath no helper.” It might be thought that this gener ous nature had for its background of support a robust and almost rude good health. The contrary is strangely the case. General C ordon is a martyr to some obscure form of heart disease, which has compelled him to relinquish the solace of smoking, and ofttimes almost prostrates him. HOW WE LIVE. tlu> Ignorant negro appear bewitched. One sight of the wonderful power of that bit of ore insured its sale, even at a fabulous price.

The world little imagines liow largely It Is indebted to the laborious researches of scientific medical men for many ot the most Important traths relative to human health, happiness and fife. As population increases and the value of food Is enhanced, theknowledge which chemistry lias elicited is becoming more and more valuable In a practical point of view. Some kinds of food are more nutri tious than others, and if it should be ound that articles which are cheapest have tlie most nutriment and give the highest ability to labor, then knowl edge becomes money to the poor. Ta bles vary, but some of the general re sults are os follows: One pound of rice, prepared for the table, gives 88 >er cent, of nutriment, and, eonsequent- y, u relatively proportional ability to labor, compared with other articles of food. A pound of beef, costing fifteen cents, gives only 25 per cent, of nutri ment. Yet countless numbers of the x>or in New York strain a point daily o purchase, beef at fifteen cents a pound, when they could get a pound of rice for one-third of the amount, the rice, too, having three times as much nutriment _ beef, making a practical difference of 800 per cent., aside from the fact that boiled rice ia three times easier of digestion than roast beef, the rice being digested in about one honr, roost beef requiring three hoars snd ahalf. There is meaning, then, in the repute I fact that two-ufths of the human family live on rice. We compile the following table for preservation, as being practically and permanently useful.
