FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. (!, 1868
[From the Macon Telegraph.
Small Grain Crops,
The farmers are just now seeding or prep&r
iiUC to seed their small grain crops, and we
hope they will aU seek to display anew and
greater productive energy in these crops.—
Georgia, we are persuaded, is in a far belter
latitude for the production of wheat than those
sections ot lire Union which now supply the
bulk of American breadstuffs. We mean to
say that the same quality of land and similar
culture will hring, in Georgia, a heavier and
more certain product and a better wheat, than
in what are now considered as peculiarly the
wheat regions of the continent.
The latter point, that is to say, the superiori
ty of Sou them wheat and flour, is established
by every market quotation, and has therefore
ceased to be a matter of dispute. But may it
not, with equal certainty, he assumed that a
uniform superiority ol quality indicates the
existence of all the best conditions of climate
for heavy cropping? The land may be loss
fertile, but that is a remediable defect. And
this defect would be far less apparent with bet
ter culture.
The Ohio farmer mellows his soil to a great
depth, and often so lows in the furrow with his
subsoil piow—using lour strong horses in the
two plows. He then follows with his planter,
which, at the pace ol a horse, makes a series of
dritls to the width of a barrow, of uniform
depth and distance, drops the seed with great
uniformity, applies the fertilizer with equal
nicety and covers the drill with perfect regu
larity—all at a single operation. Next, •he
passes a wooden or iron roller over the whole
ground, pressiug the earth closely around the
seed, so that a uniformity of germination is in
. stired, and a level surface is left for nice and
convenient harvesting.
Now wc will not undertake 10 say what the
more enlightened Georgia planters do—but the
common process of seeding may be thus de
scribed : Some scatter the seed upon the un
broken field aud then scratch it in with a little
turn-plow drawn by a mule, and turning up
the soil to the depth of three inches or less—
That is the most rudimental plantiug. Others
break up the ground first, with the same kind
of a plow to the same depth, then scatter the
seed and brush it in, by drawing over the land
a row of brushes attached to the traces of a
mule.
Contrast, then, the conditions of the crop for
production in Ohio and in Georgia. Now we
have that faith iu the superiority of the Georgia
climate for the production of wheat, that we
entertain no doubt that the good common lands
of Georgia, cultivated in the same way, would,
iu a series of years, outstrip the good common
lands of Ohio, though those of phio are prob
ably far more fertile than ours. We think the
difference in climate would more than counter
balance the advantage in the soil. The Georgia
fanner would beat the Ohio farmer both in the
quantity and quality ot his wheat and also iu
the price obtained for it.
The single acre products on the light soil of
Athens, last Spring, show what can be done in
wheat growing in Georgia with pains-taking;
and that, iu truth, is the only way to do any
thing. What sense is there, we ask, in that kind
of abortive farming which produces three to
six bushels of wheat to the acre, when with
better, you can have forty bushels, as some ot
the Athens men did ? Is it not cheaper to till
one acre thoroughly and give it the proper ma
nure—thau ten or twelve acres in the barbarous
lashion we have described? There can be but
one answer to the question.
Hence we ardently desire to see our planters
inspired with the ambition to test the capaci
ties of the soil end climate by thorough culii
vatiou, rather than to number acres under the
plow. One man will say I have fifty acres in
wheat, and ought to make, with good seasons,
three hundred bushels. Let his neighbor say,
I have twenty acres in wheat, under thorough
culture, and I hope to make six hundred bush
els. One man will say, I have a hundred acres
in cotton, and expect to make thirty bales.
Let his neighbor say, I have put only fifty in
cotton, and I look lor that number ol bales, at
least.
The smaller area you take to accomplish
given results, the less waste and the greater
profit and satisfaction. It is a grand, grateful
and proud spectacle to the planter to see his
crops striving to do the very attnostsuch crops
can do ; but to see a starved, shriveled and
meagre crop is as repulsive as a starved horse
the very emblem of famine aud poverty.
A remarkable cavern has been recently dis
covered in Salisbury, a township in the North

A Retired Editor's Farm.
COLOKKL W. S. KINO’S BLOODED STOCK IN MIN
NESOTA.
A writer in the St. Paul Pioneer describes the
fine stock-farm of Col. W. S. King, three miles
from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Col. King is a
veteran newspaper editor, who some years age
retired from active life, and now devotes his
attention to liis blooded stock. His farm com
prises two hundred acres, of which one hun
dred acres are in grass and fifty in lorest land.
The writer says:
“Col. King has given to Minnesota by far the
most valuable herd of shorthorns ever brought
Into any Western State. Among them is the
‘Sixth Duke of Geneva,’ a pure Duchess bull,
red and while, not yet six months old, but
thus early exhibiting those remarkable points
of excellence and beauty which have given to
that, family of 6hort-horns their world-wide
celebrity ;jpd immense value. The young Duke
comes marked with the significant figures
$3,000. Theu follows ‘Blush,’ a fire-pear old
cow of magnificent form and proportions, with
five distinct crosses of the Duchess in her
blood. This cow Col. King esteems his best,
if any ‘best’ can be. distinguished in the splen
did herd; her cost fa SI,OOO. By the side of
‘Blush’ stands ‘Varuna,’ a noble animal, equal
in size and beauty to her companion, and high
up in the Ducbeas blood, being fifteen-six
teenths. With these two I also notice ‘Nan
netb,’ a beautiful specimen of the high-bred
short-horn, flue cut head, large fall eye, deli
cately-tapered neck well set on to the deep breast
and shoulders so characteristic of this breed of
cattle. At her side is her bull-calf sired by
‘Royal Duke of Oxford.’
“ The stock bulls to be used with this noble
herd are ‘Wellington’ and the ‘Sixth Duke
of Geneva.’ The former was two years old in
April last, was bred in New York, is a deep
red, of woudcrfnl length and proportion, and
one of the finest animals I have ever seen. —
Judging lrom his dam aud sire and his present
promise, Col. King estimates his weight at full
maturity at from 2,500 to 2,700 pounds. He is
as gentle as a lamb, aud is highly valued by his
owner.

“ Since liis arrival from the East, with these
animals he has purchased of N. M. Prescott, of
St. Anthony, his ‘Jersey’ or Alderney stock,
consisting of the well kuown bull 1 Minnesota,’
a magnificent animal of nnqnestioned pedigree,
and his cow ‘Bukey,’ with her yearling heifer
calf. To these Col. King will add some ten or
twelve head of Jerseys from well known herds
at the East the coming Spring. Os the value of
these breads of cows much may be said ; the
milk far exceeds iu richness that of any other
stock, and I have seen two and one-half pounds
of the best quality of butter made from three
pounds of their cream. The milk is of such
consistency in the full Goods as not easily to
be run through a common strainer.
“The Ayrßhires, of which Col. King is so
proud, are all from the herd of those celebrated
importers and breeders of Ayrshires, Walcott
& Campbell, ol New fork Mills, Oneida coun
ty, New York. At the head of these I find his
stock bulls ‘Scottish Chief’ and ‘Rob Roy,’
the former one year old in May last, a beautiful
specimen of this breed of cattle.
“ While thus devoting himself more exclu
sively to the breeding of fine cattle, Col. King
is not ‘ blind ’ to good horses, and lie last Fall
purchased a high bred and beautiful mure in
New York. Bhe also will reach here the com
ing season.
“ Iu conclusion, Col. King proposes to have
nothing but ibe best of everything which goes
on to his farm, and his example, though a bold
one, will encourage others having the means to
follow in his footsteps."

An Incident of the Episcopal Convention
aud Fifth Avenue Boarding Houses.
Abont the time of the arrival of the delegates
to the General Episcopal Convention a singular
con tretemps occurred, in which a “prominent
member of Grace church” and a Southern
clerical delegate assumed the leading parts. It
appears that a “ prominent, member of Grace
church" called at a fashionable Filth avenue
boarding house, and told the landlady that he
had beeu charged with I lie care of two clerical
delegates to the Convention ; and the price at
the Fifth Avcuue Hotel was too heavy, and that
he thought he would billet them on her if she
could accommodate them, it being for one week.
She conseuted to provide lor them, and iu the
course of a few days cue clerical delegate ap
peared and engaged rooms.
At the expiration of the first week the “prom
inent member of Grace church” called on the
landlady and tendered her tweuty-dollars, say
ing that he had ascertained the convention
would contiuue Iu sessiou for more thau one
week, and thut he should not staud the expense
for so long a time! He therefore begged her
to inform her clerical lodger that he must pay
his own bills, hereafter. This the lady declined
to do ; but she offered to write Bishop Potter,
informing him that a “ prominent member of
Grace church” declined fulfilling his agreement.
To this the “ prominent inetnher of Grace
church objected, and said as he had already ex
pended some $6,000 this year in charities —be-
sides being one of the dozen prominent mem
bers on whom the expense of supporting Grace
church devolved—he could not pay the parson’s
board bill for the second week.
Finding; lie coaid not mould the landlady to
his wishes, he retired, and afterward sent the
delegate his card, on which was written, “ I
have settled one week lor you, aud now you
must be responsible.” It so happened that the
clerical delegate was not iu the impecunious
condition which the I J . M. of G. C. imagined,
but was at the time in search of a music teacher
of the same name as the P. M. ot G. C. Conse
quently the message appended to the uanie on
the card greatly mystified the worthy clergyman.
The matter, however, passed from his mind
until the adjournment of the convention, when
he bethought him ot engaging a music teacher.
He, therefore, looked up the address of the sup
posed music teacher on the card, called, sent iu
his uame, aud was ushered by the servant into
a magnificent parlor, where lie encountered the
burly P. M. ol G. €., to whom he was about
sialiog his business, when he was rudely in
terrupted with “Oh ! I know what you want.
1 have paid one week for you, and I cau’t do it
any more. There is no use of coming to me :
I cau’t afford it. My charities are too expen
sive ; cost me over $6,000. Besides, Brown
told mo it would ouly last a week.” Imagine
the consternation of a Southern clerical gentle
man at being thus rudely addressed by a sup
posed music teacher. Explanation followed,
and we are glad to know this purse proud P.
M. of G. C. was properly rebuked by his cleri
cal visitor.
Spanish Items —A Paris correspondent of
the Courier des Etats Unis writes that the letter
of Gen. Prim in favor of a coustitutional
monarchy iu Spain is not favorably received by
the French Democrats. Like our Radicals,
they are gentlemen of ideas, which, though ex
ploded a thousand times, they never fail to
bring forth at every national crisis. The cor
respondent continues, that it has been a secret
to no one, that Prim, Serrano, Olozaga and the
rest of the chiefs have been from the beginning
in favor of the constitutional monarchy—be
lieving that a Republic is not adapted to the
ideas of their country and to the necessities of
the situation. But if tho people, through the
Cortes, shall declare for a Republic, the chiefs
will acquiesce and make the best of it they can.
As to the candidates, the correspondent re
pudiates all who have been mentioned. Olozaga
has recently informed the Provisional Govern
ment that the Queen is willing to resign in
favor of Don Carlos, the representative of the
elder branch of the Bourbons. This announce
ment may mean something. If the heir of legi
timacy would in good faith accept a throne,
surrounded by free institutions, it might be a
very happy solution of all difficulties.
Vr hen the mob broke into the Jesuit Con
vent, at Madrid, they found it stored with
“ superb hams and magnificent sausages,” to
the scandal of the holy fraternity.
The same correspondent says the breezes
from the Rhine are very different from those
comes across the Pyrenees. They smell of war.
The Franeo-Prnssian situation is more and
more stretched every day, and grave events may
be expected soon. “Permit me (adds the
writer) to tell you a fact, which I have from a
sure source, and will be conceded in a month.
Know then, Von Bismarck has not been unwell
at all—has had no fall from his horse—has
thrown away his crutches, and was never bet
ter in his life than during the past three months,
which he devoted to working up the Spanish
Revolution, carrying on his work by verbal
orders, never venturing to put hand to paper a
single time.” r
A New York sketcher sketches Madame De
morest thus : “ Madame D. is of medium bnild,
a handsome, black-eyed woman, whose busi
ness talent is immense. By virtue of the pub
lication of a magazine she has begn enrolled a
member of the Women's Club. She has a hus
band who, it is said, adores her, and she is an
excellent wife and mother. She is sagacious,
clear headed, and has aa aptitude lor money
making.’ 1

The Earthquakes.
An article, of which the following are ex
tracts, was contributed to Hunt's Merchant?
Magazine just after the recent South America
convulsions, aud three weeks "before the crash
in California:
It was long sinfee observlMf I>y European ge
ologists ol eminence that the visible direction
of the great fissures left In tbe earth’s surface
by ancient convulsions, might enable this to f al
low tbe progressive movement of these explo
sions of the subterreanean forces. It is certain
that every earthquake, by dismissing the cohe
sive force of ajhfre or less, considerable seg
ment of the fissure, must facilitate the infiltra
tion of the earth's superficial waters into the
centres of explosions, and so prepare fresh dis
turbances of the same kind. California and
Oregon are in the direct line Northward of
these fearful South American convulsions, ts
there no reason to fear that the forces which have
just produced such terrible effects upon the earth's
crust in the Southern Continent, mag at no dis
taw day bring about a similar series of catastro
phes in the Northern Continent also t It is com
monly thought, we believe, that the earthquake
belts, as they may be called, range in the direc
tion of latitude rather than of longitude. But
that this is an error clearly appears, for exam
ple, from the fact that the eruptions of Vesu
vius, and the earthquakes attendant upon them,
have frequently been attended or followed by
earthquakes and explosions in and around tbe
Icelandic volcanoes. It would at all events be
possible, and it certainly would be important,
to gather some valuable indications as to this
point from the traces of the recent earthquakes
in South America while they are yet fresh, and
still bear their formidable story legibly upon
their fronts. ##.#*#■*
Nor would au investigation such as we sug
gest be valuable only from its bearinga-upou
the possible future of our Northern Hemis
phere. The position of the great metalliferous
veins of the earth necessarily bears she most in
timate relations to the geographical distribu
tion of the earth’s crult, or, in other words, to
the furrows made by the central fire. Whether
the metallic salts were brought through these
furrows by the action of tbe infiltrating waters,
or whether the veins of metal were poured
molten in masses through the crust from be
low makes uo practical difference. In either
case it is through the farrows formed by ig
neous action that the penetration took place,
and consequently the distribution of the pre
cious metals depends upon the situation of
these deep interior “solutions of continuity,”
which are crused by the voleauie movements
in the underworld. The reported disappear
ance of the silver veins of Huaucavelica in
duces the belief that from a close examination
of the effects of the earthquakes in that district
alone, information of the highest practical im
portance to our mining interests in the United
States may be procured. A series of investiga
tidn3 made by a French geologist, M. de Ciian
courtois, some years ago, into the bituminous
deposits of Seyssel and Clermont, revealed the
fact that these deposits occupied lines ol posi
tion exactly parallel to the direction of the sys
tem of superficial upheavals in the low coun
tries. And a report, written by M. Gauldree
Boillean, now Consul-General of France in
New York, which appeared some years ago in
the French Annales des Mines, on oil region of
North Ametica, showed that the chief oil de
posits of the United States arc situated on a
line which prolongs tbe net work of fissures
through which the S . Lawrence passes to the
sea.
Night Wokk.—Tom Bfoore spoke truly when
he said that the best of all ways to lengthen our
days is to steal a few hours from the night.
Only we must steal for a good purpose, not lor
pleasure • or dissipation, else we are losers
instead of gainers by tiie theft. Moderate night
work does no hurt to bodily or mental health,
hut rather the contrary, I fancy, and I speak
from experience. Note how well, and to what
old ago, nocturnal toilers and watchers retain
their strength and faculties. Look at astrono
mers, whom in our mind’s eye we always re
gard as snowy locked, yet vigorous minded,
strong framed men. And are they not, as a
rule? Remember Galileo, living to seventy
eigtil, Hevellus watching MU he was sevfetity
si*. and Copernicus till he reached seventy.
Take our English astronomers Royal, too.
There was Flamsteed, who, in spite of a dis
ordered body, toiled by night and by day,
harder, as he said, than a corn thrasher, aud yet
reached seveuty-three ; Bradley, who did as
much night watching, ran out the allotted
period ol three-score and ten years ; aud his
successor, Maskejype, told four-score all
but. one year. Then- call to mmd grand old
Hersehei, whose and lily labors and night watch
ings lasted so long, and were performed so
well that he may be said to have done the work
of three lives, and he reached the good age of
81. And hove ige ppf fiis son, a giant in science,
who stole hour nft,er hour froin tbe starry
nights of his youth, and gives ns now sparkling
essays and sound lessons fraught with the ex
perience which 76 years have gathered to his
garner ? Lastly, learn that BJaedlcr, who is
now 74, came to ihe British Association meet
ings a lew weeks back, and told the oayans
something that proved his eye—after an opera
tion for cataract—and his intellect to be as good
as they were when, thirty years ago, he made
his noble map of the moon, a work that must
have involved night-watching to send an ordi
nary eight.hoijr sleeper into au everlasting
doze. Whose wishes to rpb the night to the
iiestadvantage, let him sleep for two oy three
hours, then get up and work for two hours,
and then sleep out the balance of she night.—
Doing this, be will not feel tne loss of the sleep
he has surreddered— Qnee a Week.
Young Ladies, Bkwahk!— Tbe New Yoik
Sun is severe ou what it calls the silly lashion
which our young ladies sometimes employ in
writjug their Christian names. To illustrate:
A detailed report of a fashionable wedding
conveys the information that a young gentle
man who bears the noble name of Lionel has
just been united in wedlock to a lovely maiden
named Jennie, and that among the brides
maids on the interesting occasiou three were
namdfi, respectively, Lettie, Annie aud Gertie.
Tbe ladies were all diessed in the height of
the fashion, aud some of the most popular
gems from Offenbach’s operas were performed.
The young ladies who thus give to public no
toriety the pet names conferred on them while
they yet bloomed in the seclusion of tbe nurse
ry, do not mean, of course, to be guilty of Vul
garity aud impertinence, but they are ; and we
speak of their fault because it is so general, es
pecially among iguorant and thoughtless peo
ple. It is all very proper for Lionel to address
his brile by the sweet, affectionate appellation
of Jennie, but that is a privilege of his situa
tion to which the general public cannot be ad
mitted without a violation ot propriety. When
the name of the young woman comes to be
priuted on her visiting card, or in a newspa
per, it should be done decorously and simply
as Jane. So of her bridesmaids ; their right
names are Letitia, Anne and Gertrude, and it
is nobody’s business by what tender abbrevia
tions aud expansions of those appellatives
they may be named by their mothers or their
future husbands.
There is a rumor abroad that Mr. Carlyle is
engaged upon a life of George IU, of whom he
proposes to make a hero. The London Review
remarks : “It is impossible to say what Mr.
Carlyle may not do, but we sincerely trust that
there is Tio foundation for the report. Indeed,
when one thinks of the great genius who wrote
the history ol the French revolution, who in
terpreted Cromwell for us, who first acquainted
his countrymen with the spirit ot modern Ger
man literature, and then of the sham political
prophet who pnt slavery into a nnt shell and
afterward shot Niagara, one is disposed to think
that after a certain age no man whose reputa
tion is vainable to bis country should be per
mitted to write. We hqpe Mr. Carlyle will let
the poor, dull old King alone, if there is any :
thing in the rumor beyond the suggestion of a
feeble satirist.— Ex.
“ The Hidden Hand.”— A new and curious
edition of this work has been laid upon our
table by that, enterprising firm, Messrs. Tuttle
& Adams, 17 Commerce street. We have ex
amined it with even more interest than we did
the original that came to us with uncut leaves,
it is a perfectly shaped human baud, half closed,
and with the thumb and Augers perfectly
shaped, in a corn cob from which the grain has
beeu removed. No more singular freak of
nature has come before us than this, and we
gratefully “ acknowledge the corn ” to Messrs.
T. & A., and to Mr. H. J. Savage, of Claiborne,
who “ raised the hand,” though not in anger.
It is an honest hand, for it never held a grain
that was not its own ; and liberal it must be,
for we never have seen a hand that had shelled
out more freely and effectually.

Freedom from these contribute in no small degree

HUNDREDS SUFFER ON IN SILENCE,
and hundreds of others apply vainly to druggists and
doctors, who either merely tantalize them with the
hope of a cure or apply remedies which make thefti
worse. I would not wish to assert anything that
would do injustice to the afflicted, hut I am obliged
to say that, although it may he produced from exces
sive exhaustion of the powers of life, by laborious em
ployment, unwholesome air and food, proluse men
struation, the use of tea and coffee, and frequent
chi'dbirth, it is far oftener caused by direct irritation,
applied to Ihe mucous membrane of the vagina it
self.
When reviewing the causes of these distressing
complaints, it is most poinlul to contemplate the at
tendant evils consequent upon them. It is but sim
ple justice to the subject to enuraer.'te a few of the
many add tional causes which so largely affect thp
life, health and happiness of woman in ail classps of
society, and which, consequently, affect more or less
directly the welfare of the entire human family. Thp
mania that exists for precocious education and mar
riage, causes the years that nature designed for corpo
real development to be was:ed and perverted in the
restraints of dress, 1 lie early confinement of school,
and especially jo the unhealthy excitement of thp
ball-room- Thus, with the body half clothed, and
the mind unduly excited by pleasure, perverting jn
midnight revel the horns designed by nature for
sleep and rest, the work of destruction is half ac
complished.
An enuseout neo of ty Sys
tem, unnecessary effort is required by the delicate vo
tary to retain her situation in school at a later day,
thus aggravating the evil. When one excitement is
over, another in prospective keeps the mind morbidly
sensitive to impression, while Ihe now constant re
straint of fashionable dresg, absolutely forbldfilng the
exercise indispensable to the attainment and reten
tion of organic health and strength ; the exposure to
night air; the suddea change of temperature; the
complete prostrai ion produced by excessive dancing,
must, of necessi y, produce their legitimate effect.—
At last, an early marriage caps the climax of misery,
and the unfortunate one, hitherto so utteily regard
less of the plain dictates and remonstrances of her
delicate nature, becomes an unwilling subject of
medical treatment. This is hut a truthful picture
of the experience of thousands of our young women.
Long before tbe ability to exercise the functions of
the generative organs, they require an education of
Ihpir peculiar pervoiis si stem, composed of what ig
called the tissue, which is, in common with the fe,
male breast and lips, evidently under the control of
mental emotions and associations at an early period
of life ; and, as we shall subsequently see, these emo
tions, when exces.-ive, lead, long before puberty, to
habits which sap the very life of their victims ere na
ture has self-completed their development.
