IN THE CENTENNIAL BUILDING. )ct 0, 1831 13 Tho Labor Problem Continuel!. MB. EDITOR: One great trouble with farm labor in the South is the inveterate wustelulness attached to many phases of, it. The trite &aying of lien. Franklin, I "take care of tho pence nud tho pounds will take care of themselves," lias no place in their system of farming. Thia vico o? . wastefulness exteuds not ouly^.to tho ; crops raised, but to the tools used in tho cultivation of crops. Wherever a hoe or plow, or any oilier tool, ?rt last used, there it is left-it may be in tho middle ; of the unfinished furrow, or in the fence cornel, or along the paesway to the field, j In either case the loss of time in n fruit- j less search, ut 80 cents per day, would ; soon purchase another tool to be bandied ' as carelessly ns the other. So with thc ' crops raised. Many farmers ?ire too hard pressed for time to take proper cate of crops niter being raised. Tile small ; grain is frequently badly damaged in thc shock from being carelessly put up, or j allowed to stand too long exposed to the \ drenching rains of harvest season. The forage and hay crops aro often ruined for want of attention at the proper lime. Thin species of wastefulness extends to all the crops raised, but to none is it more palpable than in the great lending ' crop of the South-colton. Hero lies j the great lops to the Southern farmer, in I the careless handling of the fleecy staple. ! Instead of gathering as it opens, the j beautiful white locks are left lu bo blown I ont by the winds and rains of Heaven; to be sold afterwards us stormed or stained cotton, nt a depreciation of 1 to 2 cents in thc pouud. Here is tho first serious loss which the farmer experiences from the wasteful and careless habits too pre cedent nmcng Southern farmers. Mr. Atkinson, the father of the Atlanta Ex position, estimntto that tho cotton crop of the South might be enhanced in value to the planter nearly one-third every year by careful handling and improved machinery for ginning. Shall we not as farmers learn the lesson now that it is more important to cultivate well and handle carefully than it is to stretch the ' area of the production and add to the number of bales. Perhaps it would not be too much to say that a million of bales is lost yearly to tito Southern planter in thc careless handling and depreciated value resulting therefrom. But the greatest loss to the Southern farmer by the present system of farming al last i.i the loss of time. "Time is money" is another true saying, but the Southern farmer has yet to learn its money valuo. It has been estimated by Home Bbrewd observers that the averngo laborer loses about one-half tho year, in which he realizes nothing for his labor, because he labors not. Perhaps this is over the mark a little, but we think all will agree that one-third of the year is a total loss-loss to tlie laborer, loss to the proprietor. Can any business in the world prosper and thrive with so many and such tremendous leaks as wo have alluded to? What would the manufac turer tbiuk if Iiis success was dependent on the caprice of laborers, who felt at liberty to absent themselves from his employ at any time they choose? What would the merchant say if bit employees were to absent themselves capriciously from bis business without consulting his wishes? If such were the necessary rc ulta of investments in these branches of traue nud industry, but few capitalists would bc found willing to embark in snell enterprises. So, too, with the far mer. He must learn, as he never knew before, thc great value of time. Mother earth claims the attention of her de votees from January to December, and for such fostering care she will pour out her fruits in rich abundance in the lap., ' f her devoted followers. Wo do not orget the adage, "all work and uo play m..Lea Jack a dull boy." Recreation is necessary in all departments of trade aud industry, and in none moro so than farm ing. But the farmers mus? learn tho great necessity of method in busiucsas, as does the merchant, the manufacturer, the banker. Our times of labor must be systemized, na well as boura of recrea tion. The details of the farm, from day to day, must bo as carefully noted ns is the business of the railroad, the manu faoturer, or the merchant. In this way alo ic can the farmer succeed in elevating his occupation to the position ol influ ence to which it is justly entitled. A FARMER. MARRIED IX THE MAMMOTH CAVE. A wedding on thc top of Pike's Peak was reported a few days ago. A Ken tucky couple have taken an opposite courso by going undeground for thc cere mony. Henry McAlistcr, accompanied by a small party, arrived nt Cave City. Country wagons were procured, and the gay company, which included a louis ville clergymau, drove over the hills to thc Mammoth Cave. The great hole in thc ground was bravely entered. "Fat Man's Misery" was passed, the bride crawling on hands and knees along tho tunnel; Green River, with its blind fish, was safely ferried over, and. after an underground tramp of nine miles the spot selected for the wedding was reach ed. "There," says a glowing account, "under Nature's glittering gems, with darkness filling thc depth beyond, and torches weirdly lighting the immedinto space, the clergyman did bia duty." Lexington {Kg.) Dispatch. - Friends of the President say unhes itatingly that Gen. Longstreet will not bo appointed to any position in the Cab inet.- Washington Star. - Tho postmaster of New York city has issued a circular to the subordinates of his office, in which he informs them that they are in no danger of losing their positions on account of refusal to pay assessments levied on their salaries for party purposes. Mr. Collector Robert son gives tho same assurance. This is good as far as it goes, but it still leaves the presumption that some one high in authority has endeavored to extort from them tlie payment of such assessments. It should be borne in mind that thc col lector and. postmaster of New York wero President Garfield's appointees, not President Arthur's. r -? THE STATE MILITARY .ACADEMY. Kronnuiy Couibliieil \\HU KlllclrLey-Tl?* r>ytiteui of Milm allon for Mu-'? lulen. I notice that it is proposed to reopen tho "Old Citadel" Academy under the samo system that caused it to achieve such success in the past. If this is accomplished it will solve a problem that lias occasioned much solici tude in the minds of many parents in this State. Thc cause of advanced education bas been sadly neglected and the small per centage of our youth who are now re ceiving a collegiate education is truly appalling. This, too, in tho face of the undoubted fact that, a higher state of culture will be needed to excel, in tho walks of life, in the next generation than lins been required in Ibis. The colleges ol'more prosperous States are filled with young men eager to com pete with our own, on our own soil, ard with equal merit and more attainments will excel [them whenever they aro brought into contact on nnythiug like equal terms. Our people arc willing and nxn'ous to give au education to their sons, and to ?leny this i*, any individual instance would be equivalent to offering an insult to the person alluded to. What, then, is the cause of this appa rent apathy? The entire South has suf fered from the effects of the war, and more particularly the misgovernment which pillaged us afterwards. Nowhere have these terrible consequences been more keenly felt than in our own State. J "rn nts readily plead as an excuse their inability to provide for their sons the expensive courses of a college life when the tuition is high, and the emulation of youth in extravagant display is loo fre quently regarded as one of the necccssa ries of existence. To have a military school with a high standard of education will in u measure counteract this plea and bring within tho means of many the ability to provide for their sons. Thc discipline though not severe and tempered to the ago of the pupil expressly provides that every mo ment of time shall be strictly accounted for, and thus habits of indulgence and opportunies to vie with each other in lavish display and expensive pleasures are avoided. The very dress is prescrib ed, from thc style of cap to tho precise cut and particular make of the shoe. To vary in thc minutest point is punisha ble, and thc mimimum of expense in dress is obtained. Admirable ns this may be in military schools generally, how much more so would it bc if, under the patronage of the State, tho "old Citadel Academy" was revived? There the State gave the education and sought to derive nothing more than thu privilege of rearing lier young men to adorn and uphold her rep utation, regarding it cheap if in the ex penditure of an otherwise generous sum only one "should in the day of peril defend thc Nation, ?md, like Perry, cover this country with the mantle of bis own glory ; if only one of them, iu tho holy offices of religion, shouid illum ine thc path of virtue aud purity ; if nnly one of them should ably advocate in thc Senate the libettics of the country and the rights of the people lo say noth ing of that moro numerous but no less important class who would be hereby titted for thc unambitious, but useful offices of private life." No profit was expects to bc derired and the youth was educated nt the least possible cost. Thc charge for a pay cadet was !?200 per annum ; out of this, sixty dollars was returned to the student direct, in the shape of clothing, the re mainder, one hundred and iorty dollars per annum, served to pay for his board, fuel, lights and washing. His tuition and text books were gratis. His disci pline was perfect, and without cost he was taught that honor was the goal of bis ambition, and soldier and gentleman in its purest Bense were synonymous terms. More than this, thirty or forty benefi ciaries were yearly admitted, as the ap propriations permitted, from the m?rito rious but poorer youths who were unable to provide anything towards their own (support. These were apportioned to each judicial district according to thc population and tho taxable property in cluded therein ; and perhaps tho most beautiful and admirable portion of the system then (enforced was that this youth was not made to feel Iiis depen dence, but nil were on an even plane. With elbow touching in the ranks no one knew whether his neighbor was "pay" or "beneficiary," and as no oppor tunity was given for display, this was not ascertained even though your com rade was your classmate ?ir your room mate. At uo better time, therefore, than tho present could this subject have been broached. Many of our people are re covering tho independence, and would bc glad to have tho opportunity of edu cating their sons at a figure within their means, and thc reopening of the State Military Academy will in greater meas ure than nny other plan known achieve that result. By all means then let it be done, and the sooner thc better. ECONOMY. "You SWEET THING."-Tho other evening a curbstone broker named Full er, while staiiding in the door of a livery stable on Sixth street, addressed a strange young lady as "You sweet thing." The sweet thing turned on her heel tiuick as a Hash and struck thc insolent fellow such a blow with her parasol that she sen* his cigar flying out of his mouth. A second crash with tho sun shade knocked the conceit so completely nut of thc curbstone fiend Ibut he yelled for mercy and dashed away toward one [jfthc horre stalls for protection. The enraged young lady followed the coward and demoralized speculator and bauged him at every bound, until in desperation he threw himself on Hie floor and almost kicked thc plaster ort'the ceiling in his efforts to ward oil* the blow?. After beat ing thc fellow until she was tired, tho "sweet thing" folded tho shreds of lier parasol round its bent and battered ribs and walked away, followed by the prayers and admiring glances of every une who bad witnessed tlie afluir.-?San Francisco Chronicle. - Thirty-one divorces have boen granted in Talladega county Alabama, thia year. - The London Newt, of the 19th of September, says : As an indication of the great increase which lias taken placo recently in the immigration from Eng land lo" Texas, it may be stated that tho steamer Teutonia, of thc Dominion Line, which left Liverpool on Tuesday, took out sixty-three farmers ana others bound for Texas, and a few days ago tho steamers St. Louis sailed with nearly 400 immigrants, hound for thc same country. The Ottawa (Kan.) Republican thus quotes : Mr. Harvey B. F. Keller, Re corder of Deeds, ?cys :fll havo long been convinced of the merits of St. Jacob* Oil, and uso it in my family for rheuma tism successfully. ABOUT ANDREW JACKSON. (Kn Nativity ami Illa Belljcioii-Souic litter ?>Htlii|? Keiululscenees of I^iucuiiier Coun ty. To the Editor of the New ( leans Tima : Under tba bead of "Religion of tlie Pres idents" I see it stated in your excellent linger that (?cneral Jackson was a Meth odist, lie, doubtless, attended thc Meth odist church occasionally. Hut Iiis inoth \ er was a Presbyterian, and Jackson wits I carefully trained in thc Shorter Cate chism and the live points of the Presby terian faith, in old ago he joined thc 1 Presbyterian church in Nashville, Tenn. The record? ;f tho church will show the ' date. One of his brothers was taken ( prisoner in 1780, during Lord Cornwallis's ; triumphant mureil through South Caro* ? lina, and thrown into prison in Oliu/les i ton. Mrs. Jackson rode on horseback i from Lancaster to Charleston, a distance I of nearly 200 miles, losco her son. On j her return, when about fifty miles from j Charleston, she was taken with fever and i died. After thia sad event yoong An , drew lived in the family ol'Major Robert Crawford, whose wife was Jackson's .'unit. Major Crawford was his guardian. Jack son's mother was Miss White. Tho Crawfords, Jacksons, Whites nud Dun hips all came from the North of Ireland, and settled in what was then and is now j known as the Waxhaw Settlement, in Lan caster County, S. C. They were all|invct erate Whigs during the Revolution. After thc war young Jackson began to learn the saddlery trade under his uncle Moses White, the brother of his mother. Ho had not been long ut it when he sudden ly dashed aside bis tools and declared that lie was born for a higher destiny. Ho then went to Salisbury, N. C., to re side with a Mi. Crawford, father of \V. H. Crawford, formerly member of Con gress. Ho studied law with a Mr. Craw ford, and afcrward moved to Tennessee. It. has been said that Jackson was horn in North Carolina. Hut this is a mistake. He was born in South Carolina, only a short distance from the dividing line be tween the two States. Geneal Jackson never forgot his old friend and ki unpeo ple in South Carolina, and he often ex pressed a wish to revisit the scenes of Lis childhood. When President be wrote to his first cousin, Mrs. Mary Dunlap, of Lancaster, S. C., the daughter of his un cle, Robert Crawford, and sent her a handsome silver-lined snuffbox, ns a souvenir of their young days when they were schoolmates. The snuff-box is now the property of Mrs. Sims, wife of Dr. J. Marion Sims, of New York. Mrs. Sims is the granddaughter of Mrs. Dunlap, and the great granddaughter of Robert Craw ford, thc uncle of General Jackson. When Jackson started in life his guar dian gave him his patrimony, which at that day was no mean sum. In conclu sion, I may say my mother named your informant for her cousin, Andrew Jack son. When President, General Jackson often sent him presents, and after hu re tired to the "Hermitngo" be sent him ac invitation to make him ii visit, as he wished to see a descendant of his favorite cousin, Sarah Crawford. The death o General Jackson prevented the intended visit. ANDREW JACKSON W. To the Editor of the New York Times The foregoing Jacksonian Rommunicatioi I clipped from the New Orleans Time. a few days ago. It was written by mi kinsman, the Rev. Andrew Jacksoi Witherspoon, who is pastor of the Sea man's Hethel in New Orleans. I send i lo you because the smallest items per faining to the great men of the past an always interesting to us. Mr Wither spoon's statement in regard to tho snul box induces me to say a word about it When the secession ordinance was passel by South Curolina (fifty years ago) Jack son was President, and he wrote an au lograph letter lo Mrs. Dunlap (nee Mar Crawford, tho playmate and sweethcar of bis boyhood,) reminding her of hi affectionate regards for her and his kins people in South Carolina. And bc de nounced in strong terms tho heresy c his native State, and said as President h would ho obliged to sc nd military torc into South Carolina to execute ino law of the Government if the ordinance c nullification should be. put to thc les He then warned Mrs. Dunlap if her son should be found in the ranks of th country's enemies he would be coinpctlc to deal with them without regard to pe sonal feelings. And he sent her, ul sun box as a souvenir of his kindly remen brance. Thc snuff box is a sea-shel (tortois) oval, 3 inches long by 2| i nelli diameter. On the outside of the lid thc American eagle; just over its bei "Jan. 8, 1815," and above this "17. S. ] Brandywine, 1828." On tlie inside of tl lid is inscribed, "To A. Jackson, fro D. M. Stokes." Por thc last seven < eight years I have been trying to g hold of tho letter written by Presidei Jackson lo Mrs. Dunlap. As it is not i thc possession of any of his (mmedia descendants, I presume that her two soi who were violent Nullifiers, must ha^ torn it to pieces as soon as they read Previous to tho days of nullificath General Jackson hail some correspo dence with Colonel Witherspoon ni others, of Lancaster, on the subject his revisiting his uative State. Hut aft that time thc bitterness of party spirit w such that no one dared to renew the sn jeet. J. M.vuiox SIMS. A Most Malicious ('rime. One of thc most malicious attempts tho wanton destruction of life that li come to light for a long time happen here last night. A grand carnaval xv in progresa at the main ccntenni building, and about GOO Indies and ch dren were present, enjoying tbemseh in dancing, roller-skating, and kindr aniuscmcuts. Where the crowd w densest a gallon of vitriol was empli from a gallery just above causing thirty forty to bo seriously burned, while sevi al others were injured by pieces ol lnrge glass jar, which was also throi down. It was just before the grand li begun, at 8 o'clock, that thc crime v committed. Tho audience consisted about 500 persons, who w ere scated a standing in front of the space forme used for roller-skating. The first iutin lion of what coming was received by w Mrs. Deery, a lady stopping at the lrvi house, who, in company with her dani ter, bivi come to witness the performan Mrs. Deery felt a drop of something her neck, like scalding water, and, loi ing up, received another drop upi her hand. She called her daughter to step aside, aud as they i so several other ladies moved out of I way also leaving a clear space of nh three square feet. A moment late volume of liquid came pouring down t striking tho floor, splashed over th? nearest. The crowd broke, and as tl did so a gallon-bottle was thoran \ lently from the northeastern gallery i flew into hundreds of pieces ns it stn tho floor. There was ail iinmcdi stampede for different points of exit, lady with a child in her arms rcci about an ounce of tho scorching stuf! her bonnet, and the fluid, trickling do foll oil tho infant's cheek. The little one writhed in agony, screaming loudly. A boy standing near was burnt on the fore head and started n scene of coundon by bis loud outcries, which was followed by screams of pain from n dozen others. The victims ii uni ly became composed enough to get out ol' the building in a body iiutnberiug over forty, ?ind twenty of them proceeded to the drug store of Dr. A. Uarshbcrger, at Fortieth street and Girard avenue. Thc remainder suffered only trivial injuries md went lo their homes, lt is not known who were the guilty parties who committed the crime, but the police are making an ? Hort to ap prehend them. Au examination showed that ono of the large gallon jars contain ing acid for thc generation ol'electricity had been lifted from its place lo tho rail surrounding thc gallery, and its contents emptied on the crowd beneath, ar'.i . winch il was also thrown down.-/ViiAi tlclphia /';.<..<.?. Ecoiiumical Kat inns. Thc Itendeucy (d'an increase in thc richness of tho common food of cousin milk is to incrcaso the percentage of both fat ami cas?ine, to increase Ibo yield ?is awbole, ?uni to improve the quality ol' bullier; but thu relation between the butter nm! thc other solid constituents of milk will be but little varied. Tito per cent, nf waler will be found the most variable clement in milk. It will run down er up, HS the food is rich or poor. This sta'.emeiil ?if the inlluenco of food is based on thu general fact that the common which cows uro in the habit of receiving does not as u rule, supply them with as much nutriment ?is they could appropri ate. 15y giving food richer than the common larc moro could be digested and utilized. This is a fact of common ob servation ?iud exp?rience. Hut lhere is a limit lo which the increase can be carried. It cannot go beyond what the vital power can take caro of. Milk, like other glandular products, it is believed, is derived in part from tho destruction ol' tho gland substance, and in part by trnnsudatioti from tho blood, the buller globules in tho former and the albumi noids in thc latter way. (?lauds differ from other parts of thc body in tho ra- ' piditv with which tiley aro built up and dissolved. The milk-glands, in particu lar, are built up and decomposed rapidly, and as the milk-tubes and blood vessels arc only separated by thin walls nf mem brane, trausudtilion is easy, and must vary with the com position of tho blood. Ii will require but a short time, therefore, for ?i variation in tho richness or poverty ol'Hie blood, by reason, of a chango of food, to begin lo bo appreciated in the milk. Hut tho building up and destruc tion of tho milk-glands, and also trans Dilation, will be fast or slow according to tho supply of material in tho blood, and must therefore go on essentially alike in each. Thc circumstances which tend tu hasten or retard it in ono will tend to hasten or retard it in tho other. A con slant tendency to equality ol' production in these two elements ol' milk must be apparent. That ?in excess of fat-forming or flesh forming material in tho food of milch cows will correspondingly modify the milk products from norma] rations has boon strictly denied. Hut that excess of fat or albuminous matter in the rations will induce a tendency lo utilize it in nccutmnulations of bodily bit or flesh, or In corresponding elements of milk, not only exist? bul is capable ol' hoing cul tivated ami transmitted. We have liv ing examples in tho extraordinary ten dency to the accumulation of fat in Southern cattle and numerous varieties of sheep and swine, and the vast accum ulation of muscle in tho Clydesdale und Norman horses, and also in the milk of tho Channel Island and Holstein cows tho former rich in fat, thc latter in cheesy matter. This tendency, though not wide nor sudden, is certain and uni form. That un extraordinary supply of fal or pf albuminoids in the rations will bc felt in the corresponding element-, in milk has been proven Ly ??reel experi ments in Ibo Mcminn experiments sta tion-, but the oded will not bo in the ratio in which it appears in the food. There is a strong tendency to unifor mity in the composition of the blood, ?md a still stronger ono to uniformity in composition of tissue. Inequalities in the clements ol' food ?ire always very much reduced before they become blood, and tho varieties in the blood are still further reduced before becoming struct ure of secretion, so that by the time food becomes milk ii approximates uni formity in thc relation o?" ita clements. Albuminoids in milk which come from trausudalions of blood vary sooner and moro widely than doe.-, fat which comes from the tissue. But since neither ?in excels of albuminoids, nor lat nor fat forming food in the rations produces an equal excess in Hie blood and a still less inequality in the milk, such excesses of food arc usually consumed ?it a sacrifice. .So little of either kind can be utilized that, so for as tho increased value of Ibo milk is concerned, they must be fed at a loss. True economy in feeding consists in balancing tho elements of food accord ing to the relative proportions in which they arc respectively used in lo produc tion of milk or flesh, and then to feed all the cows can digest and appropriate.
