Soi months since an English man named Atkiuson bought a country place near Pithiviers, in Franeo. For many wooks there after earpenters and masons were busily employed in repairing and faltering the chateau, and after their woik had been completed, 'Mr Atkinson issued invitations for a large dinner party to all the most prominent families in the neighbor hood. The guests arrived at 6 o'clock, and on taking their Feats at the dinner table noticed with surprise that there was not oven one servant to b so n. The sou was no~mismnifed in silenlt astoish mont. Whben all 1had4 parftken (of it the host soun ded a whlistle, and as if by magic the soiup platois dis alppoared, and three magnificent silver platters, each containing a roast gOose, appeared. Little cries of ter.(or were heard from the ladies. Mr. Atkinson took no notice of his guests surprise, but remarkiig that it was a very warm evening, whinstled again, and the whole ceiling disappeared ; tho host's black coat v'anshed at the same momuent, leaving him clothed in a white suit. Thie guests, alarmed, were about Lto rise from their chairs, wheni they found themstelvos, their cairad the table suddenly raised five feet from the floor. They, how ever, were soon lowered again to the floor, and-they all took refuge in hasty flight from the demoniac abode. A judicial investigation wasi instituted, and it was found that Mr. Atkinson had ben for Len years the chief machinist at Covont Garden Theatre, in London, where he had amassed a nice little fortune. The dinner wasR a little freak to) indulge his fondness for his old p~ursuit. A young man in Chicago was recently found dead in his bed, and the supposition was that he had commllitteid suicido by poisoning; but up)on analyzing the con tents of his stomach nothing but the fol lowing were found in it: P'iclls, pound cake, lomonade, col turkey, beer, fried oysters, Cold punfch, hami, san~fdwich,. sponge cake, beef tea, mince pie, cham-. piagno, lobsters, game pie, fruit cake, tea, chicken salad, whiskey, (coflee, bolognma sausage, port, cheese, sardines and sherry.

We clip the following from the Louisville fangfaeturers' and Mer chants' Advertiser. The points made in the article strike us as poou liarly applicable to South Carolina. The tax-ridden people of this country, groaning beavi'v unilor their burdens, are beginning to rou-o from their slumbers, and from all the cities in the land we hear cries which it would be well for those in authori ty to hood before it is too late. Thun a correspondent of the Nashville Commercial and Legal Roporter asks the following portinent ques tions : "'If rents, necessaries of life and labor came down on account of hard times, why is not the pay of our officials reduced in the oity, county, and State in the same ratio Shall offico-holders 'alone live in clover ? Why is it permitted to sell on Sun day, candy, oranges, nuts and dime novels, when it is contrary to law to sell on the same day, flour, meal, culinary plants, coal and wood ? "If it costs only twelve cents--4 fair estimate-to food a olty work house prisoner per day, why do we pay for his daily sustenanoo forty cents ? "If the steward of the city work ou1e, (the stewardship is vailued as the most remunerative 'fllce in the gift of our corporation) receives a fixed hum for three meals a day for the prisoners, who authorizes him to lay the cloth only twice on Sunday, and set them at table for two meas only I Is it for the praiseworthy purpose of teaching them, on the holy Sabbath, abstemiousness in the use of food '" And the St. Louis Commercial, in an article on the high rents of that city, says : "But the landlord claims that even at the figures above he is not ado quately repaid for the use of his capital ; because, says he : "The great difficulty hero is the enormous taxation, general and ipecial. This is the reason why rents are so high ; taxes steadily irrowin on real estate, which is visible, while those who deal i:n bonds and stock, and loan money at high rates, escape the taxation almost entirely. "I know plenty of delings here, the rento of which do -not pay fan, per cent. per annum over taxes, general and special, insurance and repairs. "Let us reduce taxes, by reducing salaries of officials, by reducing the numubor of :men in office, etc., and then landlords can got along and oven reduce ronts on stores and dwellings." Even New York City, with its immense wealth and resources, groans under the heavy weight im posed upon her by reckless extrava gance, robbery, etc. The Stockholder says as to mann factures in the city of Now York, they have dwindled to loss than one half their former volume, and in proof gives a list of specified indus tries, showing a shrin kago of $172, 000,000 on $292,000,000 in the pro (uct of that one city, thereby abridg ing the disbursements for wages and the trade in materials to that extent. Troops or No Troops. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says . "Senator Patterson of South Carolina reiterates his opinion that the use of troops is necessary to so cure fair elections in the Sonth. He says there are troop~s enough in the South new, if they are properly used to protect the voters. Geon. Grant, he says, thoroughly understands the whole question, bnt just as soon as he lifts his hand a haie anid cry is 'raisedl, in which republicans of the North join, against the use of troops. If this prejudlico against protecting( the voters is allowed to prevail during the canvass, he does not look for repubilican successes in any of the states of the South, except his own. He says the poor white peo ple of the South, as weill as the colored people, would vote the re publican tieket if ithey wre not overawed. He says Georgia, which gives such a democraticomajority, -is fairly a republican state, and could bei carried b~y that party if the elec tions were con dneted properly. Sen ator Robertson, the colleague of Mr. Patterson, does Tnt appear to) concur in these views. He says that he does not want any troops to be used in the Sonth." MonE RAmOAL THIrvsaY BROUoHT To THE BAn 07 P~Usuo JUsTos.-A~ special from Jackson, )fiss., says that the committee app~ointed to in. vestigato the case of Lieutenant. Governor Davis have reported 'that lhe is guilty of high crimes and mis demeanors, and charge that he ac cepted a bribe of *600 for the par don of Thomas H. Batnontme, charged with the murder of Ann Thomas, in Lowndes county.

The Needs -Of .grioulture. We often hear men talk of the dullness and stupidity of farming. But where is there a field of outer prise that requires so much and so varioed forothonight as the proper, cultivation of the soil ? And there is no field oh the farm that requires more cultivation than the brain. The farmer must lay his flans for years, not only in regard toothe man nor he would till his soil, but in re gard to the products and develop mnont of his farm for greater enpajit.y in the future. The different qualh ties of the soil must be studied and experimonted upon, suiting each kind of product to its particulgr soil. Successful' agriculture must be controlled by intelligence. Brains are necessary. A man may rise be fore day and work till eftor night; may sow with diligence and roap with care, btt unless the farm work is done in the proper Way and at the proper ti e, the ofdrt iii pat will be a failure. In this cognentoliion we n yA 1l at tention to ti .eneflts derivod oat agricultitral literaturo. The thie has arrived When the 'farmer -Wist be educated for his calling. The age which we live in and tLhe cir-un stances surrounding us, domand that educated minds should become closo ly connected with rural pursuits. There is no mistaking the adnoni tions of the future on this point. And why should not the husband man be prepared for his manifold duties as well and thoroughly as the lawyer, the doctor or minister ' Surely, no sufficient reason exists. The lawyer, for instance, is confined to the statute book, or to long and well settled decisious ; pricedeutis his guide, and he follows it because it is old and universal. The divine must necessarily confine himself to the sacred writings and his own peculiar theology. If he teacies any thing which caniot be sustained by them, ho teaches error. The physi cian continos himself to different diseases to which the body is heir. But the agriculturalist uters upon a fluid without scope or limit. Na ture, in all her untold amplitude and boundless resoarch, is still beckon ing us onward to heights and depths that seem to know no bounds. She is not only generous in her gifts, but S o1i'-RAR hitt laws are the same over all the earth. The at mosphero, the clouds, the storms, the heat and cold are not controlled by the fitfulness of uncertainty, but well established rules that she dis covers only to devotoos. And shall we be told that it is a waste of time and money to learn her secrets - Ohio Farmer. German Women as Smokere. A German newspaper relates the following rather ominous incident : At one of the ralway stations be tween Cologne and Berlin, a lady laden with parcels had for some time anxiously awaited the arrival of the express. No soonor did it dash into the station than a. porter, compaus sionating her weariness, hastily opened the deor of the first lady'a carriage he could see, and motioned her towards it, when she started back in dismay. A dense cloud of smoke escaped fromn the complart mont, within which she- dimly de scied two female forms in an atti tuudo of pi-ofound repose. Betweon the lips of each of - the recumbent dames lay a small moorschaium, while the expression of their features de noted that caln satisfaction she had so often detected on tile' countenance of the worthy Herr at home when smoking his evening l pipo. She pointed to the. smoke, and gargod in inquiring horror at the railway ofliciah; he poinuted to the lable on the car ringe window anid stared1 blankly into the coupe. The ease -was not provided for in the regulations, and the situation was growing strained, when a gentleman came forward and htidecld the lady into tho "ndn smoking" ch'rriage, which on the betterunanag'ed continental+ linqs 13 *bil previdted, A Califordh imiitor hia patkinted a contrivance- fok driving sewing machines .whjch doQw away with the trenidlo.
