when (be son may invoke the* great
aaide of the father to pot him in
atationa of eminence.
It la now a battle in which the
energetic, the atriving, the perse
vering man wins.
It matters not from what station
in Ufa he may come ; be it ever su
humble, if be have tbe right spirit
about him, he will succeed. He may
start an a penniless, barefoot boy,
and reach the highest office in the
southern literature.
The American Present is a jiur-
nal devoted to Southern Literature,
Art, History and Romance, and a
copy of this journal lies before us.
It brings to oar mind a subject,
long since worn threadbare by dis
cussion, but still within the scope of
legitimate argument at this stage of
tbe development of the South.
The South is growing,. advancing |
prospering. Her material future is
marvellous to behold. The riches of
her soil are being developed at the
touch ot capital. Her fertile fields
are teeming each year with the most
bounteous of harvests^
All of this is well; it will go to
wards makiog her one of the wealth
iest sections of the Union.
But in the development of the
mind ; the culture of the intellect
ual forces ; the expansion of art and
science and literature; in these'is
she keeping abreast of the age ?
The South claims some of the
greatest intellects of the country.
Her writers charm with the magi
of their pens ; her statesmen con'
vince with the logic of their though
her poets gladden the heart with t!
melody of their verses ; her hii
rians enrich the mind with the
nius of their researches.
But when they wish to publish
their publications, they are forced to
go to the Northern periodicals.
Why should this be so, when the
South could well support a literary
magasine of surpassing merit ?
It is true that it takes money to
run such n-magazine, but to the ac-
V tive. and energetic proprietor of such
there-would-be conaiderabl
It is a subject that should

While we strive to surpass in tbe
contest for material supremacy, let us
cot neglect the development of our
literature and art.
We, hope to sec a Southern maga
zine, suchas the American Present,
thriving and prospering, and afford
ing a field in which the intellect of
the South may expand and grow be-
' neath Southern skies.

It would seem that right in tbe
hub city of refined Americans slang
is creeping in at an alarming rate.
Says the Boston Herald : It is cu
rious to note wbat vulgarisms creep
into the American language, even
the language spoken by well, educa
ted, not to say cultured people Just
at present the ear is harrowed by a
phrase, or rather a word, mack used
belles who jMsist afternoon
ion called a
girl to
ur for
ednea
day.” Oh, she
asked me to tarn, Tint I had another
engagement.” Heavens and earth, 1
thought, what is the meaning of
* pour” and “turn ?” It was some
time before the verbs and their im
plied noun made a connection in my
brain, and then tbe desire to stand
these young women in a corner was
so intense I retired to avoid a dem
onstration. The century has indeed
grown old and lazy where the tongue
finds so small a word as “lea” diffi
cult of utterance. To pour tea is
about as simple a phrase as can be
spoken, and to drop the final word
tea is to render itintolerably vulgar.
The custom at large afternoon recep
tions here of having two good-Jook*

erally imposed on servants in well-
appointed houses in Loudon, is thox
ougbly American, aud so, too, is the
abominable fault which has grown
out of it.

A correspondent writing in the New
York World baa tbe following to say:
As a means of prevention from tbe go pea
in young chi-.-kens it is admitted that
they should be kept from wet and dirty
places. If they be troubled with this
distemper it nearly always comes from
worms in the crop and throat, us chick
ens, like the young of most other ani
mals, are more subject to worms titan
those of mature age. Onioes chopped
fine is a prevention, and garlic, either
raw or cooked in milk, is a sure cure.
The milk may be given with a spoon;
also horseradish water or pellets made of
the scraped or grated article, made
small and crammed down their throats
if they will not pick and eat iL I don't
believe in fishing the worms up with
feather or crooked hair, os sometimes
advised; this only gives relief, but is not
a cure.
As to insects, the dust bath is excel
lent, both for old and young poultry
Whitewashing the walls inside is much
recommended, but if iu slaking the lime
for this purpose a small quantity of coal
tar be thrown on the lime, say one ounce
of the former to one pound of the latter,
by stirring, it will mix through thC
whitewash and make m much more ef
fectual wash as a preventive to their in
truding. The roosting bus should also
be washed with this mixture.
Here is another point which will be
found of use to chicken raisers: Throw
about one pint of coal tar into a pile - of
fine sand: let it lay till the sand absorbs
all it will, then roll out tbe lump and it
will fall to pieces at once. It is a great
insecticide. Scatter some through the
hens’ nests when putting them to siL
win warrant they will not run away be
fore the brood is hatched ont; as I have
known many to do before the discovery
of this plan. If it be only scattered on
the bottom under the nest it will be ef
fecting When yonng chickens become
lousy, lard is recommended to be robbed
on; the lard, however, becomes far more
valuable if to one teaspoonful of lard
you add about four or five drops of creo
sote. Mix well, tip the joints of the
wings, the breast bone and a very little
under the feathers, in one or two places
on the vertebrae, or backbone, with very
little round the head and neck. This
will completely banish them.

It issued 45 754 Policies.
