& % TIMELY TOPICS FUR FARMERS. th es et HOW TO DO P.ai.VG WORK AT THIS e SEASON. " a g *=? Suggestions of Interest, from an Autliori- j ^ tative Sourc. j ^ (vv. jl>. Jones in soutaern '-.muvaiur ; g7 This is the beginning of the busy work of preparing for the nest crop, Th^ tl farm now demands all the eneigies of ~ the farmer who would lay a broad foun- ' dation for a successful year's work. It ei is impossible to foresee what will be the v character of the seasons in the future. r( "We know that it will be either "wet" or "dry," or "seasonable." It is well to s: provide against either extreme as far as ? practicable. Only ordinary skill and judgment on the part of the farmer are s required to make a reasonably fair crop v in a fairly seasonable year. But it does r require a high degree of skill, and a c judgment that is based on experience t and study to discount, in advance, the * drawbacks and casualties that are possi- c bilities and probabilities of the future. c It is often said that "a crop well planted ? is half made;" but the land must be f properly prepared, securely protected j against stock, judiciously fertilized, ctc., : aiid the s$?d properly selected and planted before it may be truly said that the crop has been "well planted." Some have said that s farmer ought to plant ] such an area in corn as will yield, under 1 the most adverse circumstances, a : sufficiency for home use. This is put- ! ting it rather too strong. Every farmer of a dozen years experience- knows that seasons occur when it would have been better to have planted no com at all; and probably he would not if he could have foreseen the result. The safer rule is to adjust relative areas (in provision crops especially) -with reference to expected average seasons, so that an abundance will be produced with such seasons. It is well enough to prepare the land and space the plants as if expecting a dry good year. Then if good seasons proved nothing will have been lost, and if a drouth occur at the critical period the extra labor of preparation and the wide spacing will tell wonderfully in the unai result. juei; e?ery farmer consider what he wishes or : expects to secure by the labors of the' I year. What are the most pressing and j indispensable wants among those that ; may be on the farm? Obviously, food : comes first; clothing next, and so on. j Tbe essential business of a farmer is to ! make a living (meat and bread, lodging I and clothing) for himself and Jamily. I In our judgment the man who makes | the production of cotton the main object i of effort, and who looks upon the growing of food crops and other departments ! of farm industry, as mere incidents or unavoidable drawbacks, makes a very serious, radical mistake. Such mistakes are frequent, and are frequently if not! generally the cause of failure. Such j mistakes are the cause of the present de-; pression in Southern agriculture. We should first produce what we need ! most?what we must have?what we ! consume, not what we do not need (or j need but little of) and what we Cannot | consume. The farmer who plans, pitches, prepares, plants and cultivates with direct regard to supplying his fami- j ly with food in such variety aDd of such j wholesome quality as may only be pro-! duced under his own eye, will not be! likelyjfco suffer for want of any reason- j able comfort, necessary, or even modest i luxury that may be outside the limits of i actual home production. The piudeLt j provision for "plenty of everything" ; that such a farmer will make will generally result in such a surplus of one or more products of his labor as will procure such other objects of desire, : > ?ay nofchinc of the returns from the Co.ton i or other so-called "money crop." We claim no originality in the foregoing "Thoughts," except possibly in i the manner of presenting some of them, j In the main they are substantially the | "old story." We would that by any { means we might impress upon Southern | farmers that the essential idea and aim in farming?an object that is attainable in no other pursuit on earth?should be to supply the chief necessaries and many of the luxuries of life directly from the farm. The mechanic, the miner, the: mere laborer, the professional man, the follower of every other craft must exchange the products of his labor for money, and with the money purchase in the market the real objects of desire and I necessity. Jsot so with the tree farmer, J in such a climate and with such a teaming soil as ours. SPEISG OATS. The acreage sown in fail oats is much : le >8 than usual The ireezing out of a large j portion of the crop of 1886 by the hard j freezes in January, 1S87, hat! a most dis-; couraging effect, -which was augmented | by the unfavorably dry weather which ' prevailed in some parts of the country j U.UilXl? bUC DC03VJJLU -L11? KJ&K, VJ1UJJ, however, is too valuable and in the long run too reliable to be given up. Spring sowing cotts little more than the seed, even if the crop fails from drouth; and a good, breadth?eight or ten acres at least to each plow ran?should be put in. In our judgment?founded upon experience and observation?oats sown in February are much less liable to injury by freezing than if sown in January. Sowing in the "old twelve days" smacks j more of superstition and sentiment than sound reason. Our hardest weather i3 j usually from December 25 to February ] 1, and it is not often that oats sown in j < February are killed by freezing. The | ] soil for spring oats, if not already fertile, J v shnnM hft wftlJ mannrftf? anfl f?pp.r>1v n.n^ I r closely plowed?the latter to guard s against drouth as much as possible. If < the land be cross plowed so as to leave I the furrows partly open, the seed may be ! 1 sown broadcast and harrowed in with j 1 good results. Cotton seed, or the meal j 1 alone, or in compost with acid phosphate and potash, makes an excellent fertilizer for oats. v The crop requires rather more ammonia and potash than the percentage J usually found in commercial ammoniat- 2 ed phosphates. f - Undoubtedly the Burt oat is the safest for spring sowing, r?s it will mature in } 100 to 120 days when sown in February t or March, according to latitude. Sow y plenty of seed; the later the sowing the I: heavier should be the seeding. Allow for yield of twenty fold is a pretty sale 1 general rule, unless the unexpected yield * or capacity of the land is small, in which [ case the seeding should be somewhat ^ heavier than this rule would indicate, ^ and vice versa. ISXESSIVE FABiUN-G. & In last month's "Thoughts" we nrom- a isod more on the subject of intensive ^ farming "after awhile." It was then suggested "that as a principle it does s; not pay the best to manure a few acres ^ Terr heavily and leave the main expense of s; the farm with little or no manure." To a state the proposition affirmatively we c< mean to say that as a general practice it rr r pays better to distribute manures some- oj what uniformly and impartially over the 2: entire area to be cultivated than to fer- a1 tilize a few acres very highly and the aI remainder very lightly. A ton of any tc good fertilizer will yield a better per e: cent, on the cost if distributed equally P1 over a field of twenty acres than if one 10 half the ton be concentrated on two ,u; acres and the remaining half distributed ? among the remaining eighteen acres. gc These i-ints are more particularly appKcable where concentrated fertilizers *re ^ used, which cost comparatively little to distribute. Good fertilizers, judiciously applied, ra should be considered as an investment ye rattier than an expense. An increase of to rw - ma?mo?BMnaaa?b?m?or biimwib e area in cultivaiion involves increased ] :pense of labor, supplies, implements, c., but an increase in the quantity of ' rtilizers need not involve any material :<iiiicmd expense, ana while we have realised that a uniform distribution ves better results on the whole, the t] >rrect conclusion is to reduce areas and ^ TH-iliv.M l-kn*.b lihArallv and rmiformiv the + itire crop cultivated. ? There are thousands, yea hundreds of lousands of acres annually cultivated ^ l the South that do not yield one cent t [ profit, but on the contrary, entail a ; ositive and real loss. The remedy is ^ ither to throw such acres cut of culti- T ation, or cultivate them in a different 0 ay. The most available and immediate c smedy is to throw such land out of cul- x .vation and confine our efforts to ( mailer areas, with less expense of labor, .. tock, etc., and increase the investment ] a fertilizers. , There are many farms yielding a , canty living for all concerned, where it ^ rould be wise to sell one-half tlie mules, me-half the plows and other imple- i aents, one-half the land (or let it rest), , iispense with half the labor, and invest ? he money saved in fertilizers, improved ; .tock and improved implements, and i uch appliances as may be needed to re- ' luce loss and waste. " The farmer who ;onfines his best efforts and skill to a small portion of his farm and still coniaues the whole area in cultivation has practically only reduced area without reducing expenses. STOCK AND GRASS. We have often touched upon the importance of stock-breeding and fattening and gras3 culture, ^ow is the time to .sow grass seeds of most kinds, if not sown last fall, or if the fall sowing failed from any cause. It is useless to attempt grass culture on poorly stricken and poorly prepared soils. Bermuda may be excepted in this remark, as it will grow on almost any soil. March, however, is a better time to set a Bermuda pasture. There is absolutely no reason why Southern farmers?cotton farmers? should not raise all the horses and mules needed for any and all purposes. We recently attended a colt show in Jefferson county, which demonstrated, if proof were needed, that Georgia can. produce not only mules, but horses of the finest type and quality. Sumter and Randolph and other counties in southwest Georgia are stirred up on the question of stock-raising. Habit is all that ; is against "us, and jiabit can be changed | and reformed. We ougnt at least to produce all our horses and mules, enough butter to supply every dining table in the country three times a day, beef and mutton to fully supplement the homemade bacon supply and furnish the markets of all the cities and towns. If j the farmers of the South will only sup- ; ply the home demand for all these animal products they will Lave solved the problem, how to make the farm pay. MR. BL.V1S? IS SEW YOKK. it ;s interesting ?> ouiervt; iuc cumuii-ma of the leading New York pipers upon Mrv Jauies G. Biaine's recent letter purporting to be a declination to be the Republican candidate for President. The Times remarks that "if when the Chicago convention adjourns Mr. Blaine shall discover that he is its nominee, nothing will be easier than for him to write another letter to Mr. Joues, or to Mr. Jores's successor, explaining that when he was in Florence he really did not understand the weight aud potency and irresistible character ot the popular demand for James G. Blaine." The World expresses itself after this fashion: '"This letter has the ear of sincerity. It is plain that Mr. Blaine has made up his mind that lie cannot be again nominated for President, and that if nominated i r-nrmnf This is the intcrnre- I ration that will be placed upon the docu- j ment. His friends, who have doubted tlie policy of bringing him into the con teat again, will gladly accept their release. They will seek other ;:filliations, and before" twenty-four hoars there will be a general reorganization in the Republican Cainp." The Tribune professes to be sorry, and to make known this feeling, says: '*VVe regret the decision profoundly, since we have believed that he would command more votes in the doubtful States than any other Republican yet proposed.' But various candidates, all excellent men and deserving well oi the Republican purty, are actively in the Held, and the next few weeks may be expected to present some unusualiy lively politics. May the best man win!" The llerald, which has always aspired to be at once independent and sagacious in its judgments of pu' lie men, their actions and the effect of these udoii the course of public affairs, approves Mr. Blaise's step as a wise one, giving the following reasons: "We accept the action of Mr. B1 iue as conclusive, and looked at from a Republican point of view, it must be regarded as wise, and we might even suy magnanimous. The singular personal attractions of Mr. Blaine; the alertness and audacity of his intellect; blsskill in discovering the man ageable points of politics; his innate knowledge of the workings of the government since the war; the tranquility of his genius; Jnp fsr-r. that rtS a Verier h(- was willmnt. en mities, friendships, gratitude or fear; his absolute command of his party, looking upon rivals and aspirants only as so many chess men in the great game of which he was master; and added to these the eloquence of Henry Clay and the keen, persistent business sense of Thuriow Weed? all combined to make Mr. Biajne, so long as he remained in Republican lea iership, like Mr. McGregor ia the novel. Wherever he sat was the head of the tabic." The Philadelphia Press affects to believe that Mr. Blaine's formal withdrawal is fully in keeping with what has long been known to be his preference in the matter. tiers are lis reasons: .no one xamiiutr wiiu ie feeling -which he has repeatedly unci unreservedly expressed to his friends will be surprised at this utterance. It is only the public expression of what lie has privately leclared for many months, and it is based, jot upon political, but upon personal considerations. His own determination being ;lear, he has fell that it is was due to the 1 jaity that it should be advised of the fact ; n ample time to govern itself accordingly. ' iiad Mr. Blaine remained in the field his J lomination would have been certain."'

On fire Trith his great design, Jackson !ien rode forward in front of the troops Dvrard Chanceiiorsville? and here and ben tlie bullet struck him which was to erruinate his career. Jackson had ridden forward on the turnpike to reconnoitre and ascertain, if lossible, in spite of the darkness of the tight, the position of the Federal lines. Che moon sliono, but it was struggling vith a bank of clouds, and afforded but , dim light. From the gloomy thickets >n each side of the turnpike, looking nore weird and sombre in the half light, _ i-1. a TcVnru :ame me mtua.mjuu.ij uui^o m ?uv )oorwilL 4I think there must have been len thousand,' said General Stuart afteryards. Such was the scene and aid H-hich the events which now are about :o be narrated took place. Jackson had advanced with some mem- . bers of his staff, about a mile fiom Ohancellorsville, and had reached a [yoint nearly opposite an old dismantled liouse in the woods near the road, when be reined in his horse, and remaining perfectly quiet and motionless, listened intently for any indications of a movement in the federal lines. They were scarcely two hundred yards in front of him, and seeing the danger to which he expost'u HiiLlSCii U1IC UJ. iAXO Olaii I said, 'General, don't you think this is tie wrong place for you?' Ho replied quickly, almost impatiently, 'the danger is all over! the enemy is routed?go back and tell A. P. Hill to press on!' The officer obeyed, but had scarcely disappeared when a sudden volley was fired from the Confederate Infantry in Jackson's rear, and on the right, of the road ?evidently directed upon him and his escort. The origin of this fire has never been discovered, and after Jackson's death there was little disposition to investigate an occurrence which occasioned bitter distress to all who by any possibility could have taken part in it. It is probable, however, that some movement of the Federal skirmishers liad provoked the fire; if this is an error, the troops fired deliberately upon Jackson and his party, under the impression that they were a body of Federal cavalry reconnoiterii g. Whatever may have been tiie origin 01 this volley, it came, and many of the staff and escort were shot, and fell from their horses. Jackson -wheeled to the left and galloped into the woods to get out of range of the ballets; but he had not gone twenty steps beyond the edge of the turnpike', in the thicket, whenone of brigades drawn up within thirty yards of him fired a volley in their turn, kneeling on the right knee, as the flash of the guns showed, as though prepared to 'gnard against cavalry.' By this fire jackson was wounded in three places. He received one ball in his left arm, two \ inches below the shoulder-joint, shatter ing the bone and severing the chief arte- ; rv; a second . passed through the same ! arm between the elbow ana the wrist, making its exit through the palm of the hand; and a third ball entered the palm of his right hand, about the middle, and passing through, broke two of the bones. Here, Captain Wiibourn, of his staff, succeeded in catchiug the reins and j checking the animal, who was almost frantic from terror, at the moment when, j from loss of blood and exhausion, Jack-1 son was about to fall from the saddle. He was then borne to the field hos- i : pital at Wilderness, some five miles disj taut. Here he lay throughout the next day, j Sunday, listening to the thunder of the I artillery and the long roll of the mus- j kctry from Chaneellorsville, where! Stuart, who had succeeded him in com- j mand, was pressing General Hooker; back toward the Rappahannock. His , soul must have thrilled at. that sound, j long so iamiliar, but he could take no i part in the conflict. Lying faint and j pale, in a tent iu rear of the 'Wilderness j Tavern,'ho seemed to bs perfectly re-j signed, and submitted to the painful | probing of his wound with soldierly pa- i tience. It was obviously necessary to amputate the arm. and one of his sur- j gecns askest, 'If we lind the amputation i necessary, General, shall it be done at cnce?' to which he replied with alacrity, 'Yes, certainly, Dr. McGuire, do for me whatever you think right.' The arm was tnen taken on, ana ne slept sounuiy i after the operation, and on waking, be- j gan to converse about the battle. It was ; about tins time that we received the fol- j lowing letter from General Lee: 'I liave j just received your note informing me : that you were wounded. I cannot ex- j pres-s my regret at the occurrence. Could I have directed events I should have chosen for the good of the country to have been disabled in your stead. I congratulate you upon the victory which is due to your skill and energy.' The remaining details of Jackson's illness and death are known. He was removed to Guiney's Depot, on the Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroad, where he gradually sank, pneumonia having attacked him. When told that his men on Sunday had advanced upon the enemy shouting 'Charge, and remember Oacdson!' he exclaimed, 'It was j just like them! it was just like them! j They are a noble body of men.

Looking soon afterwards at the; stump of his ai m, h ^ said, 'Many people would regard this at a great misfortune. I regard is as one cx the great blessings of my life.' He -subsequently said, 'I consider these wo onus a blessing; they were given me for some good and wise purpose, and I would not part with them ! if I could.' His wife was now with him, and when ; she announced to him weeping, his ap- j, proaching death, he replied with perfect j calmness, 'Very good; very good; it is I all right.' These were nearly his last | words. He soon afterwards became de- i lirious, and was heard to mutter, 'Order j: A.. P. Hill to prepare for action!?Pass ! i the infantry!?Tell Major Hawks to send J i forward provisions for the men!' Tiien I tiis martial ardor disappeared, a smile ! iiffused itself over his paie features, and j riinrmnrw]1 lis f.ms K Over til ft : river and rest under txie shade of tke ; :rees!' It was the river of death he wai j ibout to pass over; and soon alter utter-1 ng these words he expired. .

THE FIRST GUX FOR HILL. HI* Nomination Urged by a South Oiiroliaa Journal, for the Reason that lie Can Carry New Vork. (From the Charleston Daily World.) The World does not brieve in Free Trade; it does not believe in a high protective tariff; it does not believe intbe Civil Service bumbug, but is does believe in Democracy, with a great big D. David B. Hill, the present Governor of New York, is the man who said,prior to the last gubernational election in that State, that he was perfectly satisfied to go the people on the plain issue,' "T 93 A o rtAneoAnoooA l*ir?

'intrinsic" strength. But Hill's support on the other side much more than counterbalanced the very intricate piece of Republican political architecture. Grover Cleveland and David B. Hill are, in our opinion, at present the only two Democratic presjdential possibilities, and it therefore behooves us to choose between them, without reference to any others who may subsequently develop into presidential aspirants. When Cleveland stated that he was opposed to any President holding office for i more than one term, and also emnhaticallv declared himself as being in favor of making a constitutional restriction to that eflect, he sounded his own second-term deathknell. Now, having tasted of the sweets of the White House, he very naturally would like to grace Washington with his presence for another term of four years This laudable desire on his part is not at all .surprising, inasmuch as there have been very few of our -Presidents who have not suffered in a greater or less degree from "secondtermania." But are the people likely to furnish the only known remedy? the second term itself?in the face of the fact that New York will, without a doubt, be the pivotal State in the coming election, and that David B. Hill is the one m?n concerning whose ability to carry it for the Democrats there is not a shadow of doubt. Besides, we do not believe in putting a premium upon insincerity, and it surely would be doing just that to attempt to give Cleveland a second term after his professed and pronounced views upon the subject. But, aside from the latter consideration, no Democrat?this, we believe, is universally conceded?can be elected President of the United States, who is unable to carry New York State. Cleveland might possibly do it, but can wc afford to take any unnecessary chances just as we have come into power? Most decidedly not; and the I onlv wav to avoid that risk is by nornina ting a Democrat who will carry the State with a whoop. That man is David B. Hill, of New York, and he is a good enough candidate for the World and the Democratic party. His laconic "I am a Democrat" will carry New York State, without any fuither campaign material. A Different View. (From the Columbia Daily Record.) The Charleston World, in the arti'cle which is reproduced in another column, gives its first intimation of the distinctive policy it intends to adopt in national politics. In State politics it is plain that the World purposes to be in hearty sympathy with the Democratic organization. In taking position in behalf of Governor Hill for Presidenf, it is safe to say that the paper is in opposition to the sentiment of the great body of Democrats in South Carolina. There have, of course, been criticisms? wo tln'nL- inst. r.riticisms?unon certain things in President. Cleveland's administration. In some of his acts, and in a few of liis utterances, he has not commanded the hearty approval of the people of this State. The "civil service humbug," which is the phrase employed by the World to designate a line of policy which has perhaps done more than anything else to alienate earnest Democrats from the President, is unsatisfactory to numl>ers of our people. Yet it must be remembered that the policy, thus condemned has been enforced in response to the distinct pledge of the- national Democratic party. Doubtless this policy is approved by a very decided majority of the party in the United States. The questiou is an especially difficult one, because of the statute on the subject?a law framed chiefly for the purpose of keeping Republican - CC: /I 4 twin r* nlor.oc whototrar UliiUCiiUxUUi v5 XU LUK^LL 1U.V/W, uuw^.v/4 change might come in the political complexion of tlie national administration. The law is an absurd one. It is in some of its provisions especially odious to the Southern people. It ought to be repealed. But standing as it does, it is difficult to see wherein the President lias done otherwise than to carry out its provisions. Perhaps a Democrat of straighter stripe might have been less enthusiastic on the subject tliau Mr. Cleveland, and the public service might thus have been improved; but it must also be remembered that his civil service policy has brought him support from conservative Republicans at the North, which has relieved him and his party of much of the embarrassment that might have been expected. Upon the ver}' troublesome question of the tariff, the Democratic party are manifestly divided. Their differences must be reconciled without reference to the candidates. The President's particular views on the tariff have commended themselves to "TfiUrr oc l\a Avrvnrtfnrl Hid yiXLlJ uyuut OO lUUJ UO of those of any other possible nominee. Tnere is little force in the World's argument founded on Governor Hill's avowal that he is a Democrat. Whatever the President may or may not be, he may surely say, with as much truth as may any other man in the country?"I am a Democrat." Accepting the World's opinion that Cleveland and Hill are the two "Democratic presidential possibilities," there will probably be little time lost by the National Convention in making its choice. Cleveland has every advantage. He is the only man whom the Democrats, after sixteen years' search, could find to break the solid Republican line at the North. He enjoys J the prestige of victor}'. His administration, as a whole, has been satisfactory, and it certainly has vindicated the fitness of the Democratic party to control the government. It has been especially potent in allaying the apprehensions felt by prudent men of the North, touching the effects, upon the business and the general interests of the country, of a return of the Democrats to power. It has done much to dectrr>v sw-l.innftlism. Mr. Cleveland's opinion that no man should serve two terms as President ought to have no weight in determining his availability as a candidate for re-election. He made no pledges. There is neither reason nor precedent for any argument against a second term. Mr. Cleveland will go before the country, unaffected by any consideration arising out of the one-term idea?an idea, by the way, which is accepted by but a very small fraction of the American people. The importance of the vote of New York, in electing the President, should suiely not be underestimated. Aside from this practical consideration, it would speak badly for Mr. Cleveland could'it be shown that he cannot carry New York next November. The World concedes that "Mr. ni ?. -TX/NOCOKITT An it ? Oic V UlilUU. ^?vooc wi j \avj ac. jmu chances are certainly better than the World would have us believe. Surely there has , oot been enough in any of Mr. Cleveland's i mistakes to alienate his own party in his Dwn State. The only theory upon which < we may accept the World's estimate of the i relative strength of Cleveland and Hill, in i ;heir own State, is that Hill has possession j >f the "machine," and Cleveland must t nake the fight (if fight there must he) ( ipon his merits and upon his record. Iliii ] nay indeed be as much stronger than Cleveland, in New York, as the World epresents. But there is no assurance of I his. Besides, it ought to be remembered * bat "we might, with Hill, lose more out of 1 Sew York than the vote of that Stale s vould be worth?valuable as it surely is. * It is perhaps a Jittle soon to attempt to ay what will be the course of the Demo- trats of this State in the contest which, it fl eems, is to take place between Cleveland 1 nd Hill. But it must be remembered that ^ c South Carolina, more, perhaps, than in j ,ny other State in the Union, have the peo- 1 ile been taught to act upon principle F ather than upon mere preference?for aeasures rather than for men. We have " to regard Democratic supremacy of tl V \ 'i t paramount importance, and to pay less regard to the mere personal attributes of the candidate than to his particular fitness for A the office to be filled. This is at least the state of public feeling on questions of national politics. In order, therefore, for the World to impress its views upon the people of South Carolina, it must show that upon nrinciole as well as in policy, Cleveland's I renomination would not be the right thing. J Our contemporary must at once set about 1 its work of convincing our people that 1 Hill is the right man. Just now they are well-nigh unanimous in the opinion t that Cleveland should be renominated. t i SOUTH CAROLINA'S ATTRACTIONS.

Pre*ident Von der Ahe Wants to Take a Team to Europe. President Chris You der Ahe, of the St. Louis Club, arrived in Philadelphia Tues day from New York. He has just completed an extensive tour of Europe and he says he is more in love with the United States than ever. "European countries are about two hundred years behind America," he said. Everywhere I went I was' questioned about the American national game of base ball. Ia England the people seemed to understand something about the points of the game, but in France and Germany they know nothing of it. When I told a sporting man in Paris that sometimes as many as 25,000 or 30,000 people witnessed one game, he not only expressed surprise, but I lie was incredulous. "Have you any intention of takings team to Europe?'' "I am thinking seriously of it, and I will certainly send a team through. England, France and Germany if any other manager will embark in the enterprise with me. I am informed that President Day, of the New York Club, thinks favorably of the project, and if he conclues to send a team I will send one also." "How about Milligan?" "I have offered Milligan $2,700 to play in St. Louis," replied President Yon der Ahe, "and that is as much as he is worth. It is an increase of $600 over what he received from th3 Athletics last season. He wants $3,000, but I will not give it. If he wants to play at my figures he can sign a contract at any time, if he don't he can temain idle." "What a Liberal Education Means. E. J. Lowell in the January Atlantic says: A liberal education, whipli term is often vaeruelv used, can be completed at | the age of 22 years, and should include ! training and positive knowledge. The ! author says: If either element be neglected in the undergraduate course it is unlikely that the deficiency will ever be made good. The years immediately following graduation are devoted, in the vast majority of instances, to learning a profession or a business, ancl these interests should be shared with no others except by way of i recreation. If, therefore, a young man begins the work of his life" while still deficient in mental training his mind will be trainee, by that work only in j those parts whi ch are actively used in j the business or profession which he has i taken up. If he begins active life ill j provided with positive knowledge of facts he is likely to learn only those facts which are useful in his branch of active life. In this way he becomes onesided and narrow-minded; efficient, perhaps, and useful, but not liberally educated, and probably less useful and efficient than if he wre sn_ Fnr it is ! the province of a liberal education to widen the mind., to make it turn more readily to new subjects of interest, to make it understand the ideas of others. The man who is liberally educated should possess more varied pleasures, a sounder judgment, more sympathy with his fellow beings, a higher ideal of life and of its duties, than are held by other men. No education wliich is simply intellectual can give all these, but a proper intellectual education may assist a young man in acquiring them. Progress in the State.

The tumor or inflammation within his larynx had "so increased as to obstruct respiration, and an artificial opening was therefore made in his windpipe,' as is often done in the case of children with membran- ~ ous croup, and a tube inserted in this open- Q ing admits air to the lungs. Of course this ?ha no effect upon the diseased organ. In case of acute disease, tracheotomy allows c] Lime for recovery; in the Crown Prince's g ;ase it will prolong his life, which must gj ithprrcisp. have ended bv suffocation, but ;he course of the disease'within the larynx trill probably be neither hastened nor" re-\ :. arded by the operation.

(From the Xews and. Courier.) The. following circular letter has been )repared by the coremittee appointed to aise funds for the erection of a monument o the memory of Lieut. Uen. iticnara joinder son, of South Carolina: At a meeting of the Survivors' Associaion of Charleston district, held in Novem>er last, the following resolution was unanmously adopted: Resohed, That a comnittee of five be appointed by the Chair, n response to the suggestion of Capt. Sims, )f the Beaufort A rtillery, which committee shall take such steps as shall seem expedient o raise funds for the erection of a suitable nonument to the memory of Lieut. Gen. Richard H. Anderson, of" South Carolina, md that this committee shall invite the cojperation of the several associations of survivors, and of individuals, in this State and h other States.'* Under this resolution the following committee was appointed: Gen. B. E. Rutled .ce, chairman; Col. R. M. Sims, Major E. N. Thurston, Capt. E. R, White, Capt. F. W. Dawson. Gen. Anderson was buried at Beaufort, South Carolina, where he died-, and Lis ?rave is marked by-a plain head-board. There is no other visible memorial of him who rendered so heroic service to his State and the Southern Confederacy, and who deservedly held an exalted position in the regard and confidence of the troops he commanded and of his illustrious commander, Gen. R. E. Lee. Gen. Anderson first commanded a brigade of South Carolinians. In his division in the Army of Northern Virginia, were troops from Georgia, Virginia, Florida, Mississippi and Alabama. At different times, he commanded troops from every Southern States. Everywhere, and on ail occasions, he proved the fitness of the name by. which he was best known, that of "Fighting Dick Anderson." The committee feel that it would be unnecessary, and perhaps unbecoming, to enlarge upon the reasons why the last rating place of Gen. Anderson should be marked by a monumental shaft which, in its length and simplicity, shall fitly symbolize the character of the dead soldier, and, at the same time, shall bear witness to the loving remembrance of his comrades in arms. It i3 proper to say, however, that 4,-t?? CUCIC lo uu uwuc tu iuwui aujr V/Viaoi^xacri^ expense, or to go beyond the bonds of what is proper as a mark of the affection of his comrades and of his own undisputed worth. It is desirable that the monument shall be erected without delay, and it is urged, therefore, that subscriptions to the monument fund be forwarded at once to Capt. F. W. Dawson, Treasurer, Charleston, S. C It is proposed to close the list at the end of April next. ' Newspapers which approve of the object for which the .committee was appointed are requested to five this circular such publicity as they deem appropriate. R. M. Sims, E. N. Thurston, E. R.

Trials of a Bridal Couple. A young gentleman accompanied by his bride passed through the city yesterday en route for home after a bridal trip to At lanta. A fellow-passenger pointing them out to a reporter, said: You see that couple \ Well, they were in Atlanta last night-and were the visitors of untoward circum stances of such a nature as to make the visit one long to be remembered. They had intended to leave for home Thursday night and their trunks were sent to the depot and checked. The truuks got oil, but the young couple were left. Then came the harrowing reflection that they were without night apparel, and the disconsolate groom went to Ed. Callaway with n;s grief. "It is unfortunate," said E.l. "U:?fortunate? That's a mild word for it, it's tcr rible," said the groom; and he looked longingly into Ed.'s solemn face.
