After n direful study of ' the question 1 cannot lull believe that the " English (iovernmeii t made a cruel mistake 1 anil inflicted almost fatal injuries upon Ire- ' lan:l l?y proclaiming danger of famine. For a 1 nation to become a general subject of charity |! ol the world, is a danger that political econo- ' iny rediunizci*. What followed that cry of J "famine," which the Dnehes of Marlborough j [ gave out f.ot.i the pinnacle ol Dublin Castle, ' ami wliich, for the first time, found credence!' in KnglaiHl ami America? The .Vo-rent Maui- j fosio. The damage that did to the Irish char- i ac:er was not crjuu.l ?! hv any saving to t lieir j1 (amines. Whilst there was an unusual I amount of sintering in Ireland that, year,:' iler.; was no famine, ami (he distress that ! there was strange to say, was clue more to the j1 failure of ciops in Kngl.md than lo scarcity of i' food in Ireland. How so? Because the crops 1 failing in Kn,-da-id, left tuose hundreds of j' thousands ol' m< n- many of whom had gone ' over in eariy sjii In a to prepare the harvest?! J without employment. Many who bail gonej' over found tlictiiselves without money enough j to pay their pa-sage home. Worse yet, ihe injinal accounts at the stores could not tie li- . (initiated ami there was no credit to go upon Tor tiie present year. Had the storekeepers 1 been inclined to he lenient it was not possible |. for tV.ein. They themselves had not there-!' riuislle capital to extend liieir credlti; and : whole-ale dealers would not eivetlwlr goods ' out. knowing tlie till.'siiite of the retail trade, i To .add to ttiis stall the crops at home, in Ire- f land, were poorer than usual: but tlia.v were [ not by ony means a failure. Had not the dls- J as'e.iof Ktmlaiid been, the shortness of Ireland i would scarcely have been felt. Wtien, however, the cry of famine wns started the Irish ! ugit'itois saw their opportunity to give to the | j Land League its greatest possible force; and 11 then it was that they issued their No rentj. manifesto. j . The country wns ripe for It. The people had ' niready i>ee:i deeply stirred by l!se agitation, 1i I ml they were licking their chops like hunger- j ? inglion-s. There was no vent lor the pent-up j ^ veiion. They chafed under good crops and L seinl-p'iclrylng acts of Parliament. Peace and j comparative prosperity had battled them. [J J'lioiicli the routs were too high unci unjust, i yet they lad bargained and were under I moral as well as leual obligation to pay rent. J'his is another pha?e or Irish character.

Kobels they were, but they longed lor a real apparent right to resist the extoritlon of the landlord. It came like a clap of thunder In a elca?* sky. The wire of the l.ord Lieutenant declared tlu're was a famine! I in'? I God, a famine here in Ireland! And a tola! failure of erops in England ! There was I II panic! Ireland thrilled with torror!

Va., July 5 ?James Frceland. i young gentleman of leisure, residing in Ac oinue, In this State, is su tiering fromu orouen lieart. This is not the least, of his misery, because a badly bitten hand is a constant reminder ot Miss Julia Farmer's pearly teet h. Mr. Freeland. who Is a tall, dignified young ' ntleman, with blonde hair and sky-blue yes. has been desperately in love with the noting lady for six months. Julia is a beautlItiI creature of the ethereal order, but her :ceth were prematurely aged. James during lie long courtship, wondered why his dearest smiled so seldom, one evening she blushingy confessed the truth. Without delay the hlvalrous young man escorted her to a promnent dentist, and. at his own expense, profitted her with a full set of pearly grinders. The effect was startling. Julia was trans-: Virtued into a Venus. For a few days she re:elved bim with her accustomed warmth, but ately, it appears, her altectioii died away. Soveial times he demanded an explanation, >ut was -.'reeled Willi it cold, glittering laugh hat haunted him even in his dreams. liurng his strolls about the country those teeth 1 ver appeared before Ids gaze. And still she ivas not his. He could endure the torment no oti^er. Nerved to desperation he repaired to ner residence on Maple avenue. The young] lady's parents were absent, and Freeland cotiiratulatcd himself upon the prospect of obtaining an easy victory. lie had come to re laim the teeth. ! Julia sat at an open window looking out tip-1 :>n the lawn. As young Krceland walked i tirlskly up the walk she smiled upon him with bewitching sweetness. It. was the same >ld smile. Kcgat'dlcssof all rulesof etiquette, le bounded upon the piazza. Julia screamed 11 affright, but the young man was not to be thwarted. "Those teeth arc mine!" he shrieked. "I want them." "They are certainly mine," she responded, 'you gave them to me." "Without further parleying thcdignifled gen^eman of leisure thrust his hand into her nouth and attempted to extract the entire let. His latest gift was within his grasp, hut le could not withdraw ids hand, the teeth lad become embedded in his fingers. Illsj ;roans and grimaces availed nothing. For some moments he was held as In a vice and I executed a (nondescript dance. Finally she eleased him, and without waiting to regain lis hat he disappeared.

Yesterday afternoon t wo arrests were nwde in this city that caused a great surprise anions ?>nr citizens and the surprise was increased t>? astonishment as the developments of the trial i were made known. The parties arrested were i w -\iinins. ? Iki h:n tiocii tli-iset. ajrent for the Air Line, Richmond urn! Danville ami Charlotte, Coinnibin niiil Augusta Railroads, in tiiis eily for t\v-? years past. and Cni?t. K. (). Neshit. who is well known lotlie traveling public as a conductor <?n the Air Line Road. The chargc upon which ihey were arrested : was embezzlement. Mr. Adams wa? arrested a few minutes before time to sell tickets for the two o'clock trains and taken to the otliee of (.'apt. H. I'. Warring, Trial Justice, ("apt : Ne?bit was In bed at his boarding house when the ofliecr stepped In on him. The two purties secured Messrs. Hurwell it Walker for counsel, while the prosecution was represented by Judge David .Schenck, Major W. J. Montgomery and Col. H. (J. Jones. The allegation of the railroad company was that Mr. Adams and Mr. Xes'ilt were acting in collns| ion to defraud the railroad company, and had ; hi-eii at it for some time p ist, presumably for I two years. But one ease ot embezzlement was brought against Mr. Adams, while two i cn*es were brought against the conductor. It Iseems that some time la*-!.year, Mr. Mercer ' Slaughter, the general passenger agent, susi pected that, something was going wrong on j tlio Air Line Road, and on iusiltiiting an ln' vest jgatlon, lie found that, not only was soineitl.lxir uM'nnrr nn tlm Air t.lno ttnufl.hiltn.il I was nut correct In the ChariotIc t.iekct office. ! A detective was employed to work up the case jntul liis labors culminated in the arrest and .trial yesterday The railroad company charged that. Mr. Adams had issued tickets without stain pint: I them, that Captain Neshlt took them up willi(nut punching them, mid returned them to the j ticket agent to sell over again and divide the I inoncv. The prosecution ottered evidence showing that on the 11th day of April, 1K<I, I Mr. (Jeorge Farritigton bought two tickets j from Charlotte to Atlanta, oil'* numbered 2,71 2 J ami the oilier 2.912, thai 2.712 was given to a I friend who went with Mr. Farrlngton, and J.Mr. Karri nut on gave the ticket 2,912 lo Con| ductor Neshlt who was In charge of the train, jit was further shown that a ticket numbered j2,912 was afterwards found in Its proper place jiu the package In the depot, in Charlotte, ; never having been stamped or punched. It | was further proven that the agent, Adams, I never charged himself with the sale of ticket I No. 2.912. Capt. Win. Clarkson, n conductor on the Atlantic, Tennessee and Ohio Railroad, was then produced as a witness by the proseleution, to prove that some months ago Mr. I Adams made a proposition to him to do the same thing on the Atlantic, Tennessee and Ohio Road, adding that It was being<lnne by j other conductors and there was big money in lit. Capt-. Clarkson indignantly scounted the proposition and reported what Adams had said lo him to the authorities, the next day. Ktforts were then commenced to catch the parties. Mr. James M. Ilerry, an Atlanta detective, with George Farrlngton. of our city police torce as assistant, went to work, and very soon had what they considered to be a good evidence of the cullt of the parties. Mr. Neshlt was also charged with collecting fares in cash on the road and not returnjing or accounting for it to the company, and there was evidence that on the 10th of June. iss:i, two fares were paid him and he accounted for only one in Ins return. There was much more evidence, but this Is the substance of it mi. The defendants offered no evidence. The Justice decided that there was reasonable c.tuse. Then there was much discussion in reference as to the amount of the bond*. The Justice decided that lie would require of Mr. Adams a SI.JHH) Justified bond, and two hoods from Nesbit in the sum of 3750 each. The parties were bound over to the Inferior Court. Mr. W. F. Snider, at whose house Mr. Adams has boarded for the past two years signed his bond and Adams was released. Captain Xesbit fulled to give bond and was taken to Jail, but it is thought that as soon as his friends In (Jeorgia can be commu ilcated with he will have no difficulty In giving the required bond. Mr. Adams Is a young unmarried man, and caine to this city about two years ago from Georgia. He was considered a most moral, upright young man, and enjoyed the lull confidence of our people, all of whom are astonished at yesterday's revelations. Nobody has enjoyed a better name than Capt. Nesblt, ami those who know him can scarcely realize that such o tiling has come to pass. lie was known by all to be a strictly steady man, never indu'glng iu drink or using tolmeco and never uttering an oath. "He's a good fellow, if ever one II ved," said an acI quainlance of ills lo the reporter, "ana I don't believe he is guilt} of these charges, no matI tcr what they say." It Surprised Atlanta* The NcshiUAdams arrest In this city Inst Tuesdny bids lulr to he ft nine days' wonder In Atlanta. The railroad employees In that city, says the (.institution, are quite Indignant. They snv "Oscar Xesbit Is not guilty," and I one who enn makegood his words said : "I'll bet he will be acquitted, and If he Is I'll lend him S,>.lKK) to put the railroad company In a sling. I wouldn't, want a better thing than Oscar Xesbit has in this arrest." On the other hand, tbe railroad officials aro certain that they have bagged the game. They declare that tlio case wos carefully worked, and that when the trial comes up there will be an abundance of evidence to secure a conviction. "The company will have a hard time to prove Xesbitand Adams guilty, even If thevnre guilty," said a railroad man yesterday. "Why?" asked a Ounstilutiim reporter, who was si and lug within earshot, "l'.eeause their own charge makes It almost impossible. See, they say Adams sold tickets without stamping them and Xesbit. took thctn up without punching and returned thein to Adams, who put tliein in the case again. Now this is the way they claim It was done. In every ease the tickets are numbered consecutively. Suppose the ticket on ton In the box was say 2011, and th<- ticket at the bottom was, say Wxr Any a^ent soon learns about how many tickets he l? liable to sell during a week to any point named In that ea*e. Now suppose he would sell two hundred in a week. Then if lie and Xesbit were playing the game he would go below 100 and sell tbe ticket, and when 1 he tieket was brought back by Xesbit it would be placed in lis regular order. A search of the ease might show the ticket gone, but unless the ticket was found in the hands of purchaser 110 thoft could be proven. On 1 ho i>i11 or IihiiiI If t h? tleki'l was found in the case it would take mighty strong evidence to convince rue tliul It had ever been out." Mr. Adams ami Capt. Nesblt are both in Charlotte, and both protest their iunoccncc of the charges. A VETERAXDIUVER. The Oldest Railroad Engineer in the United States Still in Service. (.1 ugiixta Chronicle and CoiutUutionah.it') Probably the oldest living engineer, that Is In say, who lias been longest in actual servlcc. Is Mr. II. (*. Kaworth, of Allien. He Is now 70 years old, and his "eye Is not dimmed nor his natural force abated." llecnn handle his lever as tlrmlv now as In 1S.*W, and can sec between his rails as far as the stretch or grade will allow him. The Chronicle visited Mr. Kaworth at the Globe Ilotel the other day, and found out from him that the first trial trip of a locomotive engine was made In this country August 5th, 1X31, over the South Carolina Hailrond, six miles of that line having been completed from Charleston In that year. The engine "Best Friend" was the first practical locomotive built for service, and was put up at West l'oint. New York, making Its first trip over I the Carolina Kallroad November.'Id, 1S29. Mr. Kaworth served ns an apprentice on the "Host Friend," and after site blew up and was*rc! built as the "Phtcnlx" he ran also with the resurrected machine. The "Pest Friend" | used I he crai\k axle, but, when rebuilt, carried her rods horizontally on the exterior as now. These engines were capable of traveling fifteen miles per hour. Mr. Kaworth passed through the periods of experimental railroading, in which sailing and endless chains were employed as moters. lie has been railroading and steamboatlng off and on ever since. "Did you ever have an accident?" "Once. I was carrying the President, of the road to Charleston in 18.V2, moving at a driving naee over the road. I.ooklmrahead of me I spied a wash-out on the road, in which a large culvert, hud been carried away. My impulse was to slock op, but finding that I could not stop In time I resolved to "let her go" nnd take the chances of Jumping the culvert. The engine and tender however, went down and doubled over, and it was a wonder 1 wan not killed. The cars were stopped In safety, there being but one person on the train killed, a boy. Mr. Raworth Is still an active engineer, being in charge of the Aiken and Augusta train. In .ne winter time he does something like twenty hours' work a day, and Is a man of wonderful activity and rure Intelllgenco. A FATAL FIRE.

The young I man plead guNty and was fined 810 or ten I days In Jail?which we consider a very mild | sentence for such wanton destruction of the j property of citizens who have to toil for their dally bread.

Ho don't make many calls, for the girls treat him us cooly as ! they can. Hut. when a young fellow that I like comes around?a man that I think would suit me for a son-in-law?I don't let him makel ir.any calls before I Rive him to understand I that he Isn't wanted about my hous.\ I tell I tell the girls.. too. that (hey shall not have I anything lo do with lilin, and eivo them orders not to speak to him again. The plan always works cxaetly as I wish. The young folks begin to pity and sympathize with each other, and the next thing I if now Is that they are engaged to he married. When I.sen that they arc determined to marry I of course five in, and pretend to make the best of it. That's the way I manage it. It will be seen that this sagacious parent is as redoubtable a philosopher ft Ruskln, probably without suspecting ft. He deinonstrati'd keen observing powers when tempting cattle to eat straw, and a flue faculty of applying experiment* with brutes to the better naif of the iiumaniRee. He stands alongside of the Ingenious person who found out that the best way j to persuade a pig to go on shipboard was to J twist its tail in the opposite direction. Ho may be fairly rated also with one Edgar A. I'oe, who, altough a baby In the ways of the world, was a giant in reducing motives and springs of action to their last analysis The fact Is. the farmer who contrived to marry otr his girls as he Induced his live stock to nibble straw, had simply put Into practice the theory wrought out by .Mr. Poe who delineated with microscopic ratiocination that there Is in every person, man or woman?especially the latter?the "imp of the preverse." Hecause of that Imp and Its manifestations, the world Is (Often startled by the happening of the lrn| probable In the wa.v-of matrimonial ventures. | I'.ecause or mat, imp, mere are mi many niun11 rail "its of folly where the best of women are I wedded to the worst of men or rice vrrxn. The | "The "buckwheat straw plan" depends fur | success upon several conditions. First of all. the girls must not know that their artful i father has set a trap for them .Secondly, Ihe e'ever parent must be sure that the man he likes Ik worthy of the approbation of himself as well as of his daughter. There are minor and collateral considerations, but let them pass. If the elris are taught the latest modern improvement in courtship, they may become as dextrous as the father thinks himself and and match one form of deceit with another. They may do as the young Vanderbllt Is said to have done when the old Commodore maliciously furnished a false pointer on stocksgo In the opposite direction and escape catastrophe. Ail of these devlees, whether they come from Ruskin or a rural mountebank, are apt to miscarry; because the secret, of the Sphinx is easier to read than llieheartofa woman, and for the further reason,- that passion has more masquerades than Mom lis, anil the false face Is frequently not dropped until too late for anything but repenteneo and regret. It would be best of all not to play tricks with oiuselves or with our daughters, and least of all beguile them Into matrimony by rules that may hold good for heasts that perish ! hut not always for Immortal spirits. If anything could bo done to elevate the standard of young men anil make them tit for like cornIjmnlonship with noble women, there would lie no need of any anxiety nor any resort to I exercising or misleading the "jump of the ; prevcrse." Young women should be leaders in the reform, for Just as Kinma fjizarus says every country has the kind of Jew it deserves so every nmtrlmorial community Is sure to. have the kind of young man It encourages. Wo often hear parents sigh at the prospect of their daughters, as they knowlnuly contem plate the young men ot the day ; but are they not to blaine somewhat in tolerating and enc7>uraglng u.iworthiness, placing "no check upou the girls, and failing to indoctrinate them with safeguards of knowledge that may prevent the heart from betraying the head"? lit happens alas, only too often that what ' seems wholesome to both parent una child I develops mournfully nnd tragically to both. I Th Is happens because the soolnl Mokanna has i had the cunning to hide his real nature until the vlcllm has been delivered Into his power. Women who have deserved the best, of husbands have too often found the worst, and no precaution apparently had been omitted to spare them such a disaster. Ilumnn wisdom appears to be at a loss to mend this matter. Divine guidance Is the only safe refuge Happy tne woman who has the Inspiration from above before marriage, nnd does not have to seek It all forlorn, when her idol Is shuttered and lays in the dust wl.th Its feet ot clay crumbling In hideous moikory around the btsad of brass. A PAIR OF SCOUNDRELS. The Ontinsc They Perpetrated Upon T\io Votitic Ladies of Lexington, S. C. A dispatch from Atlanta, (4a., to the York Timei> says: "A. J.

Our Trial Jtisticos "Richland" writes to the Aiyjmla Chronicle of the South Carolina Trial Justices : ' But alter all that. Is said ahout theso Inferior ('onrt Judges they are a mighty clever set of fellows.

As to the age when people should marry, the! lady should, in my opinion, be 2!) or 22, and the gentleman five years her senior. Poor' j men cannot mnrry extravagant girls, who expect as good home as their parents were only able to acquire after many years' toil. The deceit practiced 011 both siJes is very great. The ugly suitor gets a tuilor to hide his delielf>nctr>s tiiR unsiorhtlv mniden calls in the aid of her rouge pot and milliner. Until re-] eently marriage brokerage was carried on In j France. We Americans are guilty of the name thing in another way Mothers sell] daughters to tlie highest bidders and daugh- j tors sell themselves for gold to men old enough to be their grandfathers. Sucli women] would no more choose honest mechanics for ] husbands than they would convicts from the . penitentiary. There Is no reason why wo-' men shold not choose as well as men. At present, t.ne men have all the advantage. No i girl is fit to be a wife till she can, if necessary, cook a meal, make a dress and keep a house i In order. Accomplishments are good, but a; tired husband would much prefer a good! 'square meal. AJl matches that are brought j about by selfish motives arc unholy, and wo-j men who marry for position or weal th are Just as guilty as those who sell their virtue for a I given sum. They arc. In fact, living a life j of legalized prostitution. Marriages In which ] there is no adaption are unlawful. As oil and I water will not unite without alkaline, so I many a couple are united by means of gold,! |Such artificially made matchcs are often broken.

Dr. Mr.Kendrcc. M M, Pauper Immigration. [Oimden Journal.) .Just at this time our government Is a little exercised over the matter of foreign nations i shipping their paupers and criminals to! America to be cared for by the tender mercies of this great country. Many of our people are protesting against such a proceeding, and we I join with them In their protests. Kven though our land does "flow with milk and honcv" for every one who will use any exertion at nil to Rain a living, wo nevertheless have our own poor to care for and our own criminals lo look nfter, and we do not. care to have the paupers of Europe; to Is tod upon us to increase our burden. No country upon the fticeol the earth gives ton person as many privl leges as he can enjoy In this land of freedom, and there Is no land in which he can earn a living so easily, but with all this, to have the professional thieves and beggars of Kurope shipped to our shores to ply their vocation here Is more than we can slletitiy bear.

Couriw.] Orkknvii.i.k, July 6.?The news of the resignation of United States Marshal Blythe causes considerable surprise In Greenville. C'ol. Mlythe is a nntlve of this county, has resided here all of his lift*. amJ had long hecn a prominent mcml>er of the Greenville Unr when h? was appointed I'nited States marshal fi>r this State. Humors of the unearthing of Inuidsof deputy marshals in their accounts against the Government, brought to official light by the examiners sent here anil e'sfcwhere in the Stat" for the purpose 01 invest lir-it inj:. have been current torn month or two past. Col. Wythe's resignation is ??i course at once couneclcd wiih the vamte rumors of the shorteomlnirs of his deputies, anil his friends as well jus the public, have heen anxiously solicitous to know the tacts In connection with his resignation. With the view of ascertaining the cause of his resignation I called on Col. lllythe this afternoon at the otllce of A. !>. Maytlcld. K?q., his former law partner. Col. Illy the has lust j returned from Washington where lie had cone on the business of his otllce and where! he had a full conference with the department, i He conversed freely and unreservedly as to his resignation and as to the crooked accounts of the deputies for wliluli he is held responsible without, however, goinz Into particulars as to any one fraudulent charge. A Washington special, said your Reporter to Col. Rlythe, contains the announcement that you have resigned your office as United Slates marshal for South Carolina. Have you any objections to giving the readers of the AVi/vt anil Courier your reasons for such resignation ? I Answer: The department examiners have recently been through the Suite examining the accounts of deputy marshals. This examination eocs hack through my term. A con| slderable amount has been stricken out of almost every deputy's account as constructive or Illegal. The department proposes to hold f my account responsible for those disallowances. Tills was the principle cause of my resignation, besides the ofll<re of marshal did not suit me In any respect, and I am anxious to return to my profession. Question: Humors have been afloat for some time past a? to this crookedness In I he j accounts of deputy marshals which have been i investigated by the department. Can you throw any ll^'h't on the subject ? Answer: The examiners claim, to have found Irregularities and illesral charges In almost. everv account, but I have not seen tho specific charges. Question: Have the pracl Ices or customs, ?,i ?,??cinieiivf> been carried on among deputy hlnrshalH nil tlie 11 inc. and | have these accounts everO^gen questioned be| fore ? Answer: I think thatclinrtreft now deemed constructive by the department hsiveconstantly been made In thin Stiite by deputy marshals. sheriffs and constables. Tliey have, heretofore, bepu allowed without question. Question: Do yon intend to submit to being made responsible forlhe c/ercharges of your deputies under the clrcumstanccs, or will yon contend otherwise? Answer: A copy of the report will lie sent me. I will then have an opportunity of answering It. and it will be Anally pussed upon by t he first comptroller. Question: Have real frauds been practiced by the deputy marshals or are they simply over-charges, which are merely legal frauds? not hPlng expressly authorized by law? Answer? The accounts of the deputies are itemized and sworn to as correct and certified i by the commissioner hefore whom the case was heard. The examiners claim, however, to have found many charges which they characterize as false and fraudulent. Question: Do the over-charges thus charged to your account amount to any considerable sum ? Answer: 1 fear it will be pretty large, hut I have not yet seen the report of disallowances. Question : Ilavc these overcharges been general with deputy marshals, or confined to only a few. or to those of any particular section of the State? Answer: It is alleged that they arc general and In every part of the State? Question: Has your resignation been accepted by the department? | Answer: My resignation was to take effect I upon the appointment and qualification of my successor. I think the appointment will ] be made in a few days. I will conduct the ofI flee until my successor qualities, and then return to Greenville and resume the practice of | ray proies?itju. In reply to a question as to who would j probably he his successor Col. Blythe declined j to (five any opinion, saylnsr that he had no ! means of knowing whom the department (would ne likely to appoint. He returns to [Charleston to-morrow to resume his official j functions until relieved by his successor. Another Aged Citizen Gone. {Saluda Arfliu.] Died at his residence In Greenwood, on the evening of th<> "rd Instant, Mr; Bennett Reynold#, Kr, aged eighty years. Mr. Reynold* had been gradually declining for the past year, until his physical energies were exhauslcd and he gently and quietly passed | away as one who has fallen asleep. Thus has I closed the nctlveand earnest life of one who has lone moved In our midst. He Illustrated to ah eminent decree the life of an honest and frank character, nndissembllng and truthful himself, he could not hear the leas', sernbl.ince ot falsehood or deceit in others. No man ever had a greater detestation of a mean or dishonorable act; and none had a greater admiration for that which was generous and noble. It was on this principle he lived and acted, and thus conducted all tils dealings with Ills fellow men throughout a lonu and active career. The funeral services were held at 0 o'clock P. M , yesterdry, and he wa? Interred in the village cemetery bv the side of his sainted wife, who preceded him several years ago. Thus, another link connecting two generations, has been served, and but few others remain. Captain Bonham's Address before Shorter College.

I They do not adopt the limp, resfhetieal atti I tide and lazy lope of the fashionable city j v.alt/er, but go whirling down thelioorata good lively pace, and even where the crowd is J thickest, carnm from couple to couple like jhllliard balls. The lady does nor lay her | cheek nll'ecHonntely on the .shoulder of the | young man. nor stretch out her lll!y-whlte arm and feathered fan In the direction of the polar star, where it meets her partner's at an equally ridiculous1 altItude, but she dances in a natural position, slightly inclined forward and supported by her partner's arm, while one hand restn firmly on his shoulder and the other is clasped by his disengaged hand. There is a spring and spirit, and endurance and evident enjoyment, about these country dances which you will look for in vnln In the enervating and pertnnied atmosphere of the salon. These young people will dance nil night, long and be ready for another ball the next night.?L'xchangc. Kerosene as an Insecticide. From reports made by C. N. ltlley, entomologist of the Department of Agriculture, It appears that kerosene oil is a valuable agent for the destruction of insects lnltncal to corn, maize, cotton and oranges, and by Implication should equally affect other farms <,f Insect life destructive to vegetation. Emulsions made with milk do not appear to be necessary, Judging from thrc results of thcscexperiments.

He will in a short while purchase machinery lor working the mluenudln course of three months will no doubt be worth more than any live hundred men in the .State. Unreliable Labor. [ Ctimdfn Journal.] In tnlklng with some planters last, week, the question of labor was discussed, and without an exception, they united in saying that at this time It was more unreliable than they had ever known it to be before; that, neither persuasion, threats nor money could Induce the negroes to perform a good days work?we menu the average farm laborer?and that the only way out of the present dilemma was to Introduce labor-saving machinery into our country. It is true, we will have to have help, even though improved machinery is Intro-j duced, hut it will not require as much help, anil It will be more readily controlled. Necessity drives us to nearly all the Improvements that are made, and this is one that will have to come. Too much Is lost by the uncertain labor we have at present. The Cat Serenade. [Camden Journal.] The howling of the festive cat In his midnlclit serenade on the hack fencedurlntr these hot nlchts, creates a responsive howl from the disturbed sleeper, who, lieinir unable to rest, arises and poes forth with shot nun In hand and murder in Ills heart to put an end to the aforesaid serenade; hut lo! afferstumbllne over a wheel-harrow, a few washtuhs and benches, finds that Mr. Thomas fat has ceased his melodies and moved on to new fields. Thus the dlseonitltted sleeper has to return to his eotieh nlterlnn anything else hut prayers upon the head of the now silent! Thomas. Isn't this provoklni:?
