A Mississippi paper, the Natchez Democrat, publishes the following to show how dependent Southern farmers, who cultivate only cotton, are upon the mechanics, manufac¬ turers and farmers of the North.— The object of the publication is to lead Southern farmers to depend more upon the resources of their own farms and mechanics aud factories: “Hallow, stranger, you seem to be going to market?” “Yes, sir, I am.” * “What are you carrying that plow along for?” •‘Going to send it to Pittsburg.” “To Pittsburg, in Pennsylvania?” “You’re mighty right, I am.” “What arc you going to send it there for?” “Tc get sharpened.” “All the way to Pittsburg to get sharpened?” • “You bet! We’ve starved our blacksmith out. He pulled up stakes the, other day and went to Texas.” “Well, that’s rather a novel idea, my friend—sending a plow so far to get sharpened.” . “Not so novel as you heard it was. We do our milling in St. Louis.” “Is that so?” “You’re right,,it is. We used to have a mill at Punkinvillc creek, but the owner got too poor to keep it up, and so we turned to getting our grinding done at St. Louis.” “You don’t mean to say you smd your grist all the way to St. Louis by rail?” “I didn’t say nothing about grist —we han’t got no grist to send. Hut we get our flour and meal in St. Louis.” “I §ce you have a hide ,in. your wagqn ” “Yes; our old cow died Jast. week. March winds Flowed the lifp.opt’n hei\ Sending hide to Boston to get it tanned ” . “All the way to Boston? Is not that rather expensive, my friend?-— The freights,will eat the hijie up.”., That’s, a fact—cleaner than tlie buzzards did the old < ritter’s carcass. Rut what’s the use bein’ taxed to hmld railroads ’tliout you get the good of ’em? Used to have .a tan yard over at Lickskillct, and a shoe¬ maker, -too. But they’re keiflum muxod.” • • . “Kerfluminuxcd—what’s, that?” “It meaqs gone u]> a spout—and twixt you and me, that’s niightynigh tl>e case with our State.” “ When do you expect to got your leather?”' “Don’t- expeet to get no leather al all—expect to get shoes, some day, made at Boston or. thereabouts,” „ • Rather a misfortune to lose a milk cow, my friend.” :. • ’ ' “Not so much of a misfortune as you hoard it was. Monstrous sight of shuckin’ and nubbin’ in a cow, and milkin’ her night and mornin’ and get-tin’ only about three quarts a day!” “ v/hat are you going . to do for milk?’! . “Send North for-it.” “Send North for milk?” # - * 1 “Yes; concentrated milk and Go¬ shen blitter.” • “Oh! I see the point.” “Mighty handy things, the rail’ roads—make them Yankee fellers do all our jobs for us, now—do our smithin’, and grindin’, and tannin’, and milkin’, and churniu’.” “Yes, wc go our bottom niokel’on cotton, Sendin’ it up to Massachus¬ etts to get it carded, spun and wove. Time’ll come when we’ll send it there to he ginned, then we’ll be happy. Monstrous sight of trouble running these gins.” “That would be rather, expensive sending "cotton in seed.” “No more so than them Western fellers pays when they send corn East and get a dollar a bushel and pay G bits lreight. Besides, as I said, what is the use of paying for railroads ’tliout we use the road?” “You seem to appreciate the value of railroads?” “I think we ought—we pay onuff for ’owl” Terms—$'l.00 per annum “I reckon you fatten your own pork?” “Well, you reckon wrong, stran¬ ger. I get them Illinoy fellers to do that for me. It’s mighty conveni lent, too; monstrous sight of trouble toting a big basketful of corn three times a day to hogs in a pen, espe¬ cially when you hain't got none to tete it to.” “I should think so.” “There’s one thing lacking, tho’, to make the business complete.” “What’s that?” They ought to send them hogs ready cooked. Cookin’, ane^j/repar' ing wood for cookin’ takes up aheap of time that ort by rights to be cm ployed in the cotton patch. I was sayin’ to my old woman, the other day, if we Mississippi folks got our cookin’ and wasliin’ done up North and sent by express, we’d be as hap¬ py as officeholders.” “Your horse in the lead there seems to be lame.” “Yes, needs shooin’. If he wasn’t the only horse I’ve got, and can’t spare him, I’d send him up where they make the horse shoes and nails and get him shod. Can’t get such a thing done in our parts. Perhaps I can at the depot.” “IIow do you manage to live in your parts, my friend?” “Why, we raise cotton. My road turns off here, stranger. Gee, Hall ingjaok Brandy! I’m glad Iseed you stranger.” Treatment of a "Shying Horse . Live Stork Journal. Why does a. hoy so. qliy? Because he sees something which he dogs not understand, and is filled with a great¬ er or less degree of fear, something as the.boy feels when he sliys at the burying-ground. and goes around to keep clear of it.. It may he souk; new or. unusual object that the horse,s.ces, or jt s may bean imperfectview^of it. Even a familiar object, if it conies to.view suddenly and unexpectedly will cause a horse to shy or jump, just as an unexpected object or sound causes -a nervous person to start. Wiiqn a person is so startled, how much would it improve the matter r-clodod at or given a cut with a whjp?. Just as much 1 as the same treatment would in the case of the hortie., Harshness only aggravates ^ the matter.

They went to the Wedding A young- professor in on Illinois university was engaged to be mar¬ ried to the daughter of a wealthy farmer living in one of the eastern counties of that State. On the day of the wedding the bridegroom was driven ill a buggy through a country road in the direction of his prospec¬ tive father-in-law’s house. Not be¬ ing familiar with the neighborhood he stopped in front of a dilapidated log cabin and inquired of a lank man who, was leaning against a rail fence: “Is this the way to Mr. Fodder’s?” “Yes. That’s where the doin’s is to-night; his darter’s goin’ to he hitched.” ■ “Yes.” “>Vho’s she goin’ to git?” “A man named Tomkins,” said tho blushing bridegroom. “Is he any good?” “Pretty good stick, I’ve been told.’ “Has be got any style?” “Not much.” “Well,” said the old man, with a sigh of relief, “I’m glad lie’s such a poor shoat, for my gals has got an invite to the wedditi’, an’ I heard no¬ body could go that couldn’t eat with .forks, hut I reckon I’ll let cm go.— Fodder’s two miles straight ahead.” Terre Haute Express. -— < « Following is an extract from a let¬ ter written from one of the lower counties in this state by a gentleman who stopped there recently: “I have l ad the yellow fever ev< r since I saw you last, and have taken quinine un¬ til I am as deaf as a post. 1 stopped at cue place recently wlr.rc I had to sleep in a room swarming with bed bugs, a:-d during the night a mad dog jumped in the window and near¬ ly devojired me. 1 fired two shots at linn, and on hearing the noise tho old man jumped up and shouted to his wife: ‘Betsy! git the children out '’quick!

I told them they lived better than any people in Georgia; and the old man said, ‘Yes, pertaters is very fillin’!’ There were nine children in the family: one was down with tho lockjaw and five had the seven years itch.” Wonderful Curative.
