A mucus, Ga., Pcpt, 22, 187 L VO LUKE I. CHARLEMAGNE’S TALISMAN. Tt, is urulorstood that at the recent Bonapariist, council held at Arencn- Imrjr, in Switzerland, it was decided that Empress Euponio should abdi cate the regency which he h '\s hold! ever since her impci ial husband left Paris, in the bright summer weather of 1870, for the last time, and that the young prince, Louis Napoleon, who underwent in that fatal summer his '‘baptism of fire,” should take up on himself the responsible leadership of tho imperial cause in France. Whatever tho reasons for this decis ion may be, it is quite certain, wo suppose, that tlie Empress Eugenie, so long as she lives, will continue to exercise a great influence upon tlo fortunes of the son and of the party which is so openly and so audacious ly laboring for his restoration to the throne of France. Our readers, therefore, will read with interest, we are sure, an account which has been forwarded to us from England ot a visit recently paid by an English woman of position and intelligence to the dethroned and widowed lady who for so many years commanded the admiration and tlie homage, not of her own sex and of her own country men only, but of both st-xes and of all civilized peoples. The Empress has for some tim< past been living at Arenenbcrg, where the Third Napoleon passed so many years of his life with his mother, the lovely and unfortunate Queen Monetise. Arenenbcrg is a charm ing chateau standing a little off the direct road from Schalfhausen to Constance. It was sold in 1843, after the dcatli of Louis Bonaparte, cx- King of Holland, to a citizen ofNeu enberg, for 840,000 florins, and in 1855 this citizen’s heirs sent, to Paris and sold there its fine collections of pictures and works of art, including some paintings by David, and many souvenirs of the First Napoleon. This led the Emperor Napoleon 111 to repurchase the estate, and it now belongs to his son. Tlie ex-Empress (who always, by the way, alludes to the di asters of 1870 as “the ev nt.-’ has passed her autumns at Arenen bcrg ever since the end ot the Franco- Prussian war. The plateau stands on a hill nearly 1,500 feet in height, and commands a lovely view over the upper valley ot the Rhine. The house is furnished now with perfect simplicity, the only splendor any where kept up being about tlie chap el of tho chateau, the altar fin niturc of which is decorated with ancient and very costly trees. In this chapel is kept the “Golden Rose” sent by his Holiness Pius IX, some years ago to the Empress, then reigning at the Tuileries. This “Mystic Rose,” by the way, is rather a rose tree than a rose, and is a wonderful piece ot goldsmith’s work. It represents a bunch of roses with buds and leaves, the whole about twelve inckcs in height, being sot in an antique vase of exquisite pattern, adorned with bassi-relievl ot scenes in the life of Pius IX. The roses, tho leaves, the vase, arc all of the purest gold, eiiis seled with a delicacy and freedom and force, worthy the best ages and schools of art. Tho vase is set upon a base of lapis-luxuli enriched with alternate medallions in gold of tlie papal and the imperial arms, and in its turn supported on four small steps of lapis-luzuli. Of course the ex- Empress sets the highest value on this precious memorial of her sove reign days, and of the favor with 'H IJ %. ufx DEMOCRATIO FAMILY NEWSFAPEE. BUENA VISTA, MARION COUNTY, GA., NOVEMBER 12, 1375, which the head of her church then, as now, regarded her, alike as a wo man and as a sovereign l Equally treasured with the “Goldenßose," is the “Talisman of Charlemagne,” a curious souvenir of tho two greatest Princes who ever swayed tho desti nies of;modern Europe. Thu, Romms w o pa:.lnnately fond of t&ihniHins, which have been sometimes called chhanmc, from the multiform fabu lous monster of that name—goat, lion and dragon all in one—sometimes symplegmata , as being made up cf discordant elements embraced in one form, and which have been known in more recent times as grylU, from tho Itallian grillo, which signifies at once a “cricket” and a caprice. In the later day of Romo and ti e earlier days of modern history the use of such symbolic devices, carved in stone of various kinds and worn in rings chiefly, became very general. They were thought to operate as charms and to secure to the wearer the mystic protection of the deny or deities either symbolized or plainly set forth upon them. The stone known as the Talisman of Charle magne is a species of conundrum, and is believed to have been h and very precious by that great sovereign. It, was long pi\ served with the rest of the relics belonging to him ot Aix-la- Clwpclie, and the chapter of tlie ca thedral presented it, not without co gent reasons to tlie modern Charle magne, the First Napoleon, who con stantly carried it about with him. The King of Rome, afterward Duke ol Reiehstadt, treasured it not less, nnd from him it passed to his cousin, Louis Napo eon,. who had it about his person when he made his escape from the prison ot Ham. He left it behind him, however, when he quit ted Paris in 1870. Who knows what might have happened had ho taken it with him to the did ? On tho 3rd of September, when the Empress made up her mind to fly from France it was enclosed in a reliquary < f rock crystal, shut in by a secret spring, tho Empress did not understan i and had no time to search for. So with a woman’s decision she caught lip a pair of tongs from tin chimney-piece and dashed the costly case into frag ments. Shortly afterward she confi ded it, with a large sum of money, to a faithful official, with orders to find lie Emperor at Wilhelineholie, and give them to him. The official lost his head, and, instead ol setting out at once, went to his apartments in Paris. There lie put the money and the talisman into'an armorie, the key of which he had lost, and the double doors of which he fastened together by pinning over them a map of the fortifications of Paris with four pins. Then camo on “the events,” one af ter another, with tremendous rapidi ty. The official, caught one day out of doors, was obliged to fly for his life, without going back to-get either the money or tlie talisman. Of course tho Empress in her exile, when she heard of all this, imagined .that the money and the talisman both must be given up for lost, and with the talisman the fortunes of the Na poleons, the moro particularly as it was made known to her by the public journals that tho apartments of the official to whom she had confided them had been repeatedly ransacked both before, during, and after the commune. Fancy her astonishment then, and delight when this official at last returning to Paris and to his long-abandoned apartments found the map of the fortifications dusty in deed, but undisturbed and the con tents of the armorie precisely as lm had left them ! It can hardly lie thought strange that tins should be regarded not only by tho ex-Empress lie®if. but l.v her sou anil by not a fetwf their partisans, as an omen ol uaycstionable promise for their now fcsw. To Farmers Who have 'Failed to Stake Corn Enough. I commenced farming in the year 1819 and continued until my negroes were freed. During that time, owing to the severe drouths, I failed twice to make corn enough to do me longer than the month of May. I sowed wheat, and when it began to ripen, say the heads turn yellow, and the o-rain formed in the rough state, the stalk and blades still green, I had it cut and cured. I stopped feeding on corn and had the wheat cut up with a knife, commencing at tlie heads and throwing away a portion of tlie butt-ends. My stock were in good working order for I had fed bountifully with corn, knowing that the hard work had to be done, and that tho corn would last until the wheat came in. I commenced feeding on wheat, tho work being lighter, and the stock actually improved. I did not have to buy a bushel of corn. Many farm res think it labor lost to raise wheat in this climate. I am satisfied that it is more from mi: management than ' anything else that they fail—l seldom ever failed, and give my plan : First, I break up mv ground with dia mond pointed scooters live inches wide; plow very close so as to pulverize the ground thoroughly, and, if necessary, cross plow. My plan for preparing the seed is to have two tubs of brine, as strong as salt will make it. I pour in a small quanity at a time gently stir, throwing away what will float. I let it remain in the brine from thirty-Mx to forty eight hours. While you are sow ing out one tub the other is soak ing. Put the wheat in a basket to drain, and while draining sprinkle with lime until it is all coated. If this rule is strictly carried out you will never find a head of smut. My rule was one peck and a half to the acre, i covered with wooden tooth harrow (I would not use an iron tooth harrow if one was given me.) The harrow was made of three pieces of scantling, three by four inches, put together triangularly, with auger holes one inch and a half from the teeth, five inches apart in tlie back piece, and the same number in tho side pieces, which will be further apart in the back piece. Tlie teeth are four in ches square, tapered down, leaving at the point a quarter of an inch square. Let the sower follow the plow and the harrow follow the sow er. I prefer harrowing with the plow. If I were farming now, I would sow wheat for my stock to feed on if I could buy corn at seventy-five cents a bushel. In fact, I believe it might be profitable to feed on wheat in summer and sell corn at seventy live cents, for at that time of the year money is money with farmers. 1 always prefer putting wheat on cottoD land, as it is easier prepared, clear of grass and Hessian fly. The NUMBER S. last of October, or any time in No vember, I generally sowed wheat. I think the fault of most farmers is that they don’t prepare the land right before sowing, and they put too much to tlie aero, and a great portion of the t seed imperfect grains. Some put a bushel to the acre, and if they make ten bushels they think it is a very line crop, when really they have made only one-tenth of a head to each grain they sowed (supposing each grain t,o produce one hundred grains.) But, all farmers knowhat, one grain is capable of producing over five hun dred grains, one bushel should bring five hundred bushels. Another er ror, they cover too deep. What will not come up if covered three or four inches deep—the roots at tho grain deprived of light, heat, and air, caus jes very slow growth. These roots have to support tho stalk until it, is sufficiently strong to throw out roots near the surface ; when this takes place the lower roots and stems per ish ; by this time it is cold weather, and the surface roots, short and ten" dor, arc very easily spewed out by frost, and for want of moisture die out. If it should escape the freeze it has had in time to teller out, and only produces one ort vo heads when it should have produced from live to iwonty. The shallow covered grain throws out at the start permanent roots and has time to bunch and tel ler out, and in no danger of being spewed cut by the frost, and will produce from live to twenty heads if its not too much crowded. This is not chimney corner theory, but from actual experience and observa tion of over fifty years.— J. I). Ha vte, in the Houston Home Journal.

Important Supreme Court Decision. The present te:m of the Supremo Court has made a decision, out of uhieli will necessarily grow a great deal of litigation and comparison. The case went up from Griffin. It is too long to publish it in full. Tho decision declares unconstitu tionuljthc eleventh sectionof the home* stead law. That section allowed par ties who had taken the homestead to scii it, provided the wife and hus band both sign the deed, and tiic Or dinary of the county approved it. The decision declares that such a provision in the homestead law is un constitutional, and that they cannot sell except as provided in the consti tution. The constitution only pro vides four circumstances under which the homestead can be sold: Ist, for faxes; 2nd, for improvements made on the homestead; 3rd, for labor per formed on the homestead; and 4th, for mortgages, Ac., in the shape of incumbrances lifted from the home stead. Outside of these, fhe law now de clares a sale of ihe homestead null and void. It almost repeals the ele venth section of the act, and places a homestead almost without the pow er to even sell. We apprehend, how ever, that a sale of the homestead might be sold, through a bill in equi ty, for some good reasons. As tho decision now stands a num ber of people in our knowledge have bought property of this nature, and the tide to it in not worth the paper it is written on. It is an ill wind tha t biows nobody good. This wind will probably revive the sinking ship, labelled “law business.” We are not sufficiently posted as yet, to fathom the justice of the de cision, or to foretell the piactical workings of the law, but if we under stand the decision aright, we know it will be the production of consider able harm to those who have bought homesteads, and may recuperate tho-. pockets ol some that have sold.—.
