The T/mkh Office ban been removal from Gun by m Bulltllu# to the old Enquirer Ottlre, on Ran dolph street, third door west of the Post office. m ■ "" The* soy tlint Senator Jones will upend $150,000 in building himself n palace In Washington. It will rival the Honest Miner’s camp. At a spelling match in Cuuilia, N. H„ a few evenings ago, Deacon Eze kiel Lane, eighty-throe yours old, spelled down all tho young folks and took tho first prize. Thu Baptists in Kontucky have se cured near *200,000 as their quota of tho Endowment Fund of the South ern Baptist Theological Seminary to be located at Louisville. As trouble Is anticipated at Aspin wall, it has been deemed advisable to send a vessel of war to that port im mediately, and Hear Admiral Mulla ney has been instructed to keep a ves sel there as long as necessary. The Hawaiian Treaty. -The Hawai ian treaty, it is said by Senators, can not go Into operation until Congress assembles and puts the articles enu merated in the treaty on the free list. That was the understanding of the Hawaiian representatives when the treaty was pending before the Sen ate, and will occasion considerable delay. 'Hip Holier/. Ilanijuct. The farewell banquet given to ex- Henator Curl Bchurz, at Delmonioo’s, in New York, upon the eve of his de parture for Europe, was an unusual occasion. The guests wore all Ger mans, and the speeches and toasts of the evening was in their natlvo tongue. The bill of fare consisted of German dishes, and the wines were German. The occasion, was a grand affair. —. ♦ * Tin- Texas Frontier. All news from tho Texas frontier show that the Mexicans have desisted from troubling that State. They have drawn off their forces in the interest! of peace, and It is probable they will adhere to it. If this news bo strictly! true,and we hope it is. Grant 's chance of rid(ng in|o the third form on Mex- j Sean war clouds, looks even more hopeless than it did as long as he was surrounded by Landaulot Williams and Beast Butler, if Mexico wants n President, Grant will beat liberty to accept after the next election. Buffalo linnlx. Every puper wo see from the lower portion of Alabama, Florida ami Tex as, contains accounts of the serious damage resulting to cattle by the vis its of the insect known ns the Buffalo gnat. The gnat is a small insect, not half the size of the common house fly, which suddenly uppeurs iu the air by millions. It settles upon all four footed animals, and, in some in- i stances, attacks chickens, anil annoy i men. They arc very destructive. A | horse oreow during the night will !>o- 1 conic covered with them, and in the moruitm.be found dead, and swelled to nil enormous sfzc. Their bite is very iioisonous. Those who have been most troubled witli them advise putting on each animal a coating of tar, or herding the cattle in a lot, keeping tires burning through the night, tile smoke driving them off. It seems thatjtheeo insects are making their course up the country, in which even| they tiro likuly to give this sec tion a Call. • ■* . * UcurKlnn’s Kntrrprlse. There is a gentleman living in >Se noi, a small town on the Georgia Railroad, who has established two small enterprises that afford steady and remunerative work for about fif ty young ladies. Ho manufactures In one establishment gingham sun bon nets, and in tho other paper boxes, These ladies earn from five to ton dollars per week. They say lie lias moro orders than lie can fill. We wish him abundant success, and would like to see him patronized by overy man in Georgia. When we learn to patronize and foster home industries anew era will dawn upon the South that will send the lustre of wealth, prosperity and independence. This factory at Sonoi is a small af fair, but many such small affairs throughout the South will Soon build up our country and give employment to our people. We are glad always to hear of enterprise, and especially of that nature that provide* work for honest women. There arc many willing women in tho South ready to put their hands to honorable work. We wish they could,nil get suitable employment. ♦ • - Why Urlnnii wns A.t.rit <o Kr-Uixn. The charges upon which the de mand for Secretary Delano’s resigna tion was based, ave being made pub lic. All of them have not yet come to liglit. Among the more serious stand some little transactions or this kiud: The rival claimants of title to a valuable Mexican grant to Califor nia wore directed by this Secretary Delano tf> consult with his son, John, about the matter; and the result of that consultation wns that one of tho claimants handed John $5,000 in cash and two thousand shared in a quick silver mine fouud on tho disputed land. The supposition is that John is a dutiful son, and will therefore “tote” fair witli the old man. We have not heard whether John did so or not, but the old man is counting oil some of the stock. Another grave charge was that cer tain Washington parties found great difficulty in getting a decision from the Secretary in a matter involving the issue of patents to a large amount of land. This- latter inconvenience ws likewise referred to the Inevita ble John, and soon the whole matter weeeettlod, and John,was the happy (Bssessoji olxsl* truSto of the same laud. Truly John Is agreet boy, and ids affectionate Pu is a greater ras cal. Is it not a great pity that in the whole expanse of Radicalism, that Grant won’t pick out moro of the honest men of his persuasion and put them In office, and then let the country’ have u short cessation from talcs of stealing and debauchery ? editorial CurrrH|Miiidrm-r. Atlanta, Ga., Muy 5, 1875. Thinking that some of the readers of tho Times would relish a crop let ter, I write you a few hurried lines on that subject. The severe woather, which lias extended winter far into spring, does wot seem to have kept back the energy of the farmers on tho line of tho railroad from Columbus to West Point and! Atlanta. But vege tation is decidedly backward. We do not wonder that immigrants are not attracted to lower Georgia, and pre fer the upper portions of the State when they settle here. Excessive, and we can almost sav exclusive at tention to cotton, has made tho land scape bare, impoverished and unin viting. Very few fields of small grain gem the landscape with its fresh j green. An isolated wheat field seemed like an oasis in this desert of cotton. Cotton is the best plant in tho world to enrich a people or a country if moderation in Its culture is observed; but If in England, where agriculture has reached its highest perfection, it is found more profitable to keep two thirds of the entire country sowed in small grain and gruss, and only cultivate one-third in clean culture—keeping the same fields three years out and one year in clean culture—how much more imperative ly necessary does it seem to adopt this policy in our country, where the light sandy soil is so readily washed away! Cotton culture lias well nigh destroyed the linmnx in our soil, by keeping the surface bare by clean culture and allowing the rays of tho hot sun to complete the damage done by constant ploughing. At least two thirds of our lands ought, to be kept in small grain and grass if the latter can be profitably grown, which can [ only be determined by experiment and only one-third cultivated in cot ton and corn. Let anyplanter calcu late how much his cash outlay would be thus reduced, and he will be sur prised at the result. We pay out too much money, and yet wages are as low as the laborer can live tit. This state of things could not exist if we practiced a rational system of hus bandry. Take Europe as your guide; or, turn to the States in this country, whore agriculture with free labor has prospered, and you will find that it invariably approximates the stand ard which we have given above. | Take, for example, farming in Cali fornia, and it will be found to apply even to that wonderful eountry: “Rancho Chico was loeated by Gen. John Bidwell in 1843, and a grant for the same was obtained from the Mex ican There now re mains in the possession of General Bidwell almost thirty-three square miles of the original grant- 21, 080 acres. ()f this, 9,000 acres are under cultivation. This year there are 5,390 | acres in wheat, barley and oats; also, i 300 acres in com.” One planter on the lino of tlie At ! lanta Si West Point Railroad has | adopted a plan that we have never j seen before. His wheat is sowed in drills, about two or three feet apurt, ! so that it is susceptible of cultivation 1 with a ‘‘sweep.” This wheat looks so ■ much bettor than the wheat and oats | generally, which we saw, that wo are i confident it was sowed early last fall I -perhaps, between the rows of cot ton. This enterprising farmer de j serves success. We could not help wishing, however, that he would pur chase a good grain drill,which will dis tribute uny small grain at the desired intervals, with fertilizers and clover or grasses—all at the same t ime. Or, if that was thought too expensive, it is a pity that he does not possess a Thomas smoothing-harrow, which harrows from seven to ten feet at a time, and will do as effectual work as the “sweep,” without making it nec essary to plough between each fur row. Until small grain gets “in the boot,” cultivation Ls as benefleiul to it as to cotton. Indeed, cotton cul ture is a great boon in itself, for we get tho laud thoroughly clean from grass and weeds, and thus prepare it for the wheat and oat crops. In Eng land. whoro they mnkeiorty bushels of wheat per acre, they cultivate tho laud intended for wheat a season without planting anything in it. This is called a clean ftulow. Wo can do the same thing nud get a cotton crop ill addition. F. F. Louisiana Sugar.— With all her po litical troubles, losses from overflows, and financial derangements, Louis iana sugar planters are at length be coming prosperous, emerging from heavy debts through economy nnd I good management; and it Is esti ; mated the sugar crop of the State for next fall will be more than double that of any other year since the war. Tlie colored population prefer to live in the most southerly part of the State, and they are paid higher wages in the cane than in the cotton fields. Besides, the advanced tariff on su gars stimulates thoTdanters to put in huger crops.— San Francisco Call. Tho sugar planters iu Louisiana have the same inducement to increase production of sugar on account of the war in Cuba, that impelled India, Egypt, Brazil and other countries to increase their production of cotton during the war betweon the States. Mr. J. B. Motley writes to the Washington JSepublican that the lute Father DeSmet mysteriously hinted to him some time ago that he know where he could find an everlasting quantity of gold nuggets on “oue of the Indian reservations.” Father DeSmet told the same story to Thur low Weed, •naming the Black Hills, however, as the locality. He also stated to Mr. Motley that he advised the Indians never to exhibit their nuggets to the whites, or they would have their lands. As the saving is, “the jig is up now.” Since the year 1800 and before 1872, tho Church of England had built 3,204 churches and rebuilt 025, making i 4J29 in all. Restorations and cu | largemfijts wore still more numerous, so as to make the whole number i built, rebuilt or restored within the century over 9,000, at u cost of at least £18,000,000. All this was done by voluntary subscription, except 11 ? rant of £1,000,000 by tho Parliament. n 1831 thenumborof benefices was 110,000; now they are as nearly as pos sible 13,200, at a cost of £1,053,440 from private benefactions alone up jto October 31, 1873. Forty years ago j there were- 5,900 parsonages; now ! there aro 11,000. In 1801 there were : 10,307 Clergy, in 1871 there were 20,694. From 1839 to 1872 three and a half million of pounds were spent in school buildings for parish schools. Tho number of curates now is over ( 5,800, and the average salury lias been ; raised from £B2 in 1813 to £129 in 1873. Tile latest sensation in sporting circles is the challenge of Mr. J. B. j Johnson, the champion swimmer, at present performing in New York, who wishes to swim a match with any man in the United .States, more espe cially with Hurry Gurr, for any sum up to *5,000 a side, placing forfeit money in the hands of Mr. Queen, of the New York Clipper. Mr. Johnson came to tills country one year ago, and his record as a swimmer is re markable. His claim to the champ ionship of the world has never been contested except at Long Brunei! last summer, where lie won an easy vic tory over Andrew Trnut. • April seems to have been selected as a month for the occurrence of nu merous notable events in American history. On the 9th Lee surrendered to Grant; on the 11th the openiug shot in the late civil war was tired on Huinter; on the 14th the United States flag was raised over the ruins of the samefort; on the 21st Texas was born into the galaxy of States, and on the 19th the minute men of Lexington fired the shot “that was heard around the world.” Sac.

Entirely r. written by th* ablefit writer* on every I subject. Prluted from new type, end ilius ! treted wit* Huvoral Thou*nd Kntfntviug* and Map*. The work originally published under the title | of The New Amicujuan Ctclopaciua was com pl©tc-l In IMC3, aluce which time tho wide ctrrula- ! tion which it lias attained iu all partn of the . United State*, and the signal development* which have taken place in every branch of science, lit- i erature and art, have induced the editor* and publisher* to submit it to an exact and thorough revision, and to Uaue anew edition entitled The Am MUD AS CTCLOFJtDU. Within the last ten year* the prog re* of dl*- covery in every department of knowledge ha* made anew work of reference an imperative j want. The movement of political affaire baa kept pace . with tha discoveries of science, and their fruitful j application to the industrial and useful art* and tne convenience and refinement of social life. j Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc cur red, involving national changes of peculiar moment. The civil war of onr own country, which wan at it* height when the last volume 01, the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and anew course of commercial and industrial j activity has been commenced. large accessions to our geographical knowl edge have been mad* by the indefatigable ex plorers of Africa. The great political revolutions of the laßt de cade, with the natural n-anlt of the lapse of time, have brought Into public view a multitude of new j men, whose, names aro iu every one's mouth, and j of whose lives every one is curious to know the j particulars. Great battles have been fought and i Important sieges maintained, of which the de tail* aro as yet preserved only in the newspaper* or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in perma nent and authentic history. Iu preparing the present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possi ble date*, and to furnish an accurate account of the most recent discoveries iu science, of every fresh production In literature, and of the newest inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of the progress of political and historical ©vents. The work has been begun alter long and car*-- j fill preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful term ination. None of the original stereotype {dates have j been used, but every page has been printed on | new type, forming iu fact anew Cyclopedia, with the same plan and compass as its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, i and with such improvements iu its composition as have been suggested by longer experience and ; enlarged knowledge. The illustrations which aro introduced for the first time iu the present edition have been added not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give | greater lucidity and lore© to the explanations iu ■ the text. They embrace all branches of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarkable feature* of scenery, architecture and art, sh well an the various pro cesses of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for Instruction rather than embelishraent, no pains have been spared to iu sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an admirable feature of the (’yclopjedia, and worthy of it* high character.
