TPe cannot, says the New Orleans Bulletin, too often or too seriously impress upon the farmers of the South the necessity of improving the opportunity th t will bo affor ded them tfiis winter of examining into the different processes and ap pliances by which other farmers di versify their occupations and their products. The World’s Exposition will bring together nearly all the in dustrial apparatuses known or in use and the occasion offers peculiar attractions to the Southern fanner who is tired of the slavery of cotton.

The ding tour con d be taken in by the whole ress or improvement. But experi ence, the unbroken and unmistaka ble experience of a long series of years—has proven all this so conclu sive that no elaboration of the theme is necessary. Instead of bettering their condition every year, instead of gradually snrroundiug themselves with comforts, elevating their child ren and accumulating independence, our farmers have either stood still or retrogated. They drag along a hand to mouth existence, finding themseives no better off at t li£ end of a years hard work, growing older and losing strength and energy— There is no essential reason why these things should be. Our lands are more generous than those of the North,our climate is more propitious, and, so far from the circumstances being unfriendly, they g re exactly the reverse and in the highest possi ble degree. Why then, should our farmeis remain in the mire while the march of progress leaves them far behind?

Her son, Andrew Parker, left h«nein the evening to attend to his bsincss, leaving his wife and two clildren with his mother.

Parker kept the full jjartkolais of the terrible murder a few days, but finally concluded in justice to his children to let the law take its own course, and swore out a party. Seems as if it ought to work well in Hartford, for the husbands and wives could es-ily hold meetings in convention ever;, five or ten years, and compare notes as to whose stock of honeymoon sweetness held out tbe longest' and also consult as to thf most approved method of discipline. The ways that are contrived to get monsy unlawfully from iusurihee companies :?e many and curious. The chief of the Rw '“Orleans Fire Department, in discussing mysterious fires—and they have seme curi ous ones in that city as wall as elsewhere- related the following: “One of tbe mott smgulvr and ingenious attempts was that i f a man in a Northern city who used a cat as his instrument of isicendiatisin. He first got the cat, then he tied her up for two days without food. He then went our and bought a lot of codfish—he wanted some ar ticle she coaid smell. When the proper time fame he placed a lighted coal oil lamp well filled, on the counter; around the globe of the lamp he hung a wire hoop, on the outer edge of which was secured the codfish. Below the counter he had piled the necessa ry preparations for a quick ignition. All being in readiness he cut the cat loose,closed bis door and departed. coroner’s inquest developed the above facts. No explanation is offered for the mother’s brutal act toward her son’s wife. The case is attracting great attention from the fact that the sole witness against Mrs. Parker is her own son. She was held in de fault of $25,000 bail.

Paople Entfer a Car. Have you ever noticed how diftV ent people entera’car? It is a study. The experienced traveler drops into the Erst vacant seat; if there are more than one, he takes the one on the shady side. Here are two ladies; they are all alike, hut neither seems to be just the thing. They pass down the aisle, pass more seats, walk back to the seats they first looked at, and drop down exhausted. Now comes a party just worn the farm, They don’t ride much; the old man leads the party, carries the baby; the madam drags too small boys, and the four take a side seat by the door, look around with a sotisfied ssneief of a PKomssofi, The citizens of Lcwisburg, Pa., were shocked to learn that \V. W. Grier, Professor of Latin and Greek in, the Lewisburg University, had committed suicide during the night while delirious form typhoid fever. He had been sick the past few days but was perfectly rational. During the day a large number of visitors called, and the excitement was too much for the patient. Late in the evening his wife, who was attending him, noticed a change, and went out in the hall to get assistance from some of the professors, Returing to the sick man, she found her hus band lying upon the bed iu a pool of blood. Daring her absence the delirious man had obtained his pen knife, with which he had been trimming his finger nails earlier in the evening, and with it cut his throat upon both sides. He then cut a deep gash across his abdomen, and finally plunged the knife into his breast over the heart, where it re mained imbedded. The patiant lingered nearly and hour but died unconscious.

While seated in the narrow railing of the bridge, his attention w: s attracted by an object cp the river. While looking at it he lost his balance and fell backwards. His friend standing on the bridge became paralyzed with fear for the moment ■and rushed to the side of the bridge to see him madly struggle for life with the waves, when he struck the water he s^nk, and his companions thought he Lad been killed. In a few seconds he rose and made a strug gle fer ihe shore. IFhen he reached the bank he was .exhausted from fright and fatigue. He had fallen from the distance of about 40 feet and was saved by the depth of the water. He was taken home by fri ends and placed under medical treat ment, and is now in his usual health and spirits. Miss Astoe’s wedding Dress.— The wedding dress was made by worth and is said to be the handsom est that ever left his establishment, and is one of the finest ever brought to America. The entire dress is made of white satin, embroidered by the most skillful fingers in Pairs. The design is a clump of roses done in threads of silver. This delicate work on the soft shining background glistens like the sun on new fallen snow, and is certainly most appro priately termed ”frest-work.” The front and sides of the skirt ore artis tically garlanded with Jv^ 'l^reaths of orange blosapo*^'D -i abort.

Although liv ing in the same house with him ever since, she has never uttered a word to him. acting at the table and else where like one dumb. She would not even speak to others while he was within hearing. She was frequently remonstrated with for this course, but she explained that in his pres— she was really dumb, ind could not by auy effort use her tongue, till^ she went out of sight, She died recently without opening her lips God may have sealed her lips for her disobedience to her father. “Hon or thy father and mother that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.” We were asked the other day by one of our most prominent merchants; why it was that when a woman washed her lace, she \S¥st took up the water ia the palm of her hands and then throw it back in the basin, after which she rubbed her face with a U, > -vTWttra strode with the wet linn Is; while a man carried the water tfo hir face With his hands,tSpd sloshed it aroimd generally, We toid.bim that he was tool hard, for us and th-t if such was the fact even;'we were not aware of it.

Waterford, Pa., June 5, 1880. Messrs. Douglass Bros. Gents: The Ground Limestone purchased last spring I sowed broad* cast on an old meadow that had been mowed for a long time, and had lie* come very badly run. It is clay soil. I am satisfied that where the Ground Lime wa§ sown the crop was increased fifty per cent. Its effects were plainly to be seen while the grass was growing and up to the time of mowing. The spring before I sowed Plaster on a part of the same meadow, but am satisfied that the Lime did me the best service. W Bensoe. Montegomry, Pa., June 15, 1880 Messrs. Douglas Bros. I have tried Carbonate of Lime (ground Limestone) as a Fertilizer, on about fifteen acres of corn, last season. I planted it with the corn, using about 400 pounds to the acre, and have to report that although in the farming business in my infancy and my father before me, I havu never seen such thrifty corn gro v out of the earth as that grown from the use of this Carbonate of Lime. The ears were longer, grains fuller, and certainly turned out more bush els to the acre Usan any corn I ever raised, and I believe it to be tho cheapest and best Fertilizer in the country. John G.
