The February issue of the Tiirc SorntKKX C'l'ltivatok plaues it Car in the lead of all other agricultural periodicals. In its make up Tim Cultivator is therein c?fjournals, and beyond all cavil i* without a rival any-! where. It does not base its merit on the fame of one man, or .any set of men, but solely on that of its own panes, which reflecting the views and sentiments of the fanners of the South, constitutes it a true representative journal. It is the oldest agricultural journal in the South; it has never lost its individuality or its distinctive cliaiacter: it unites the vigor ami brightness of ilie present with the wisdom and experience of the past, blending together in a harmonious whole, new theories, new motives end new scientific development with that which the test of time has proven to be meritorious; the experience of the many are brought out for the benefit of the many, it challenges me aumirauon of all, as it is worthy the confidence and support of every citizen of tin* South who loves liis section and cherishes its enterprises. Its many departments arc filled to overflowing with the choicest matter suited to this section, and to enume:ate I hem would Jill a column. The Alliancc Department, to which Hon. W. J. Northern, President of the Georgia State Agricultural Society, devotes much of his time and talent, affords a splendid insight into the workings and process of that organization, heing very full and worthy of the special attention of the members of the Alliance. The paper of Prof. J. E. Willet, Georgia's great scientist, on "Have we peach yellows ;n. Georgia?" is worth the subscription price for several years. The portrait of L'apt.

Naming Xayy Vessels. The naming of vessels of the navy is regulated by law. Vessels of the j first class are required to be named af- | tor slates, those of the seeond after rivets, those of the third after the principal cities and towns, and those of the fourth :is the president may direct. The law is not always observed as clo>ely as it ought to lie, but in the main it governs naval nomenclature to-day. The first act bearing on thisi subject was passed in 1S1!J, and was sub>e<jueiitly amended by that of 1S38. hi I i* i i !?? il in h.'irnion v with the clian^vs wrought l>y steam navigation, Roman Catholic schools, according to the opinion of sonic, are not us good as they arc commonly supposed to be. We have no experience in the matter, hut we print here what a correspondent of the C?n'isti((n 'Jicyister has to say of the parochial schools. "Catholic children who have lieen taken out of the puhlic schools at the bidding of the priest, and compelled to attend parochial schools, when they are returned after an absence of a year or two to tb<* public school*, which is a matter of very common occurrence, are almost. invariably found to be in their studies far Ik hind their former classmates who have remained in the public schools. They have lost, a whole year in their education. And what have they gained ? The ability to rattle oil' their catechism, and possibly to hate it. They go out poorly equipped for the battle with the world, and, realizing this, are led to distrust and hate the Church which made such a failure ol tueir education. .\loreliants in San Francisco have told mo that Catholic: youths whom they sought to employ were poorly and superficially educated, as comparing with the graduates of the public schools.'' And he furl her says that the great mass of Catholic parents, knowing the inferiority of their schools, will not wnd to them unle.-s compelled to do so by the priests.

Gypsy is a corruption of Egyptian. It was formerly believed that Mic Gypsies were emigrants from the banks of the Nile. Some held that .they had followed Moses in the famous exit fiom the dominions of the Pharoahs; but, not being Jews, they had not been allowed with them to enter the Promised Land. Thus they had become cosmopolitan marauders. 2. Romanists circulate the story that at the time of Herod's persucution, when Joseph and Mary, with the cnild JesiH, had lied to Egypt, certain people had refused to entertain them. For this God had punished them with exilement from their native country, consigning them and their progeny to perpetual vagabondism. 8. It is now generally conceded that the original home of the Gypsies was India. Their language, the Romany, is an offspring of Sanscrit and identical with the Hiudustanee. They came to Europe by way of Egypt, the Moalem invasion facilitating their transit from Asia to the neighboring continent. 4. The God of their Indian ancestor?, Brahma, is neither known nor worshiped by the Gypsies. In fact, they are without any religion whatsoever. Words signifying God, soul, eternity, etc., are not found in their language. 5. One who studied the history and characteristics of the Gypsies well, assures that their code of morals is contained in three maxims, very familiar among them : (1.) No matter as to strangers, hut he true to your people. (J.) Men are free, but wives must be faithful to their husbands. (3.) With our kindred we must deal honestly; as to strangers, debts should uot give us any concern. Generally they are lazy, dirty, thievish, treacherous, revengeful, fond of strong drink and tobacco. The embodiment of wandering rogues. (5. The Gypxy women, bodily chaste, are said to excel the men in roguery. They are wily soothsayers, kidnappers, selling, administering poisons, acting as go-betweens. Men and women, in colonies of fifty, or more, governed by dukes and knights, wander from country to country on byways, finding temporary domicile in forests and deserts, " ? : ?..li until H lll'IKX', III nuiiiii atjiuma, frequent the cities for {minuses of theft, etc., etc. Of tawny skin, high cheek-bones, black eyes, shining black hair, thin lips, dazzling white teeth, their limbs excel in elegant proportion and agility. Of brilliant intellect, their rare frifts seek employment in knavery. Not less than four million Gypsies infest the forests and mountain defiles of Europe and America. Jean Paul in Texan Christian Advocate. Subdued. A writer in Our Four Footed Friends relates that a farmer had a bull so fierce that lie was kept constantly chinned by a ring in his nose. He seemed to have a particular antipathy for the farmer's brother, who had possibly irritated him on some occasion, and never saw him approach liis siied without beginning to bellow and paw the ground. One day there occurred a terrible thunder storm. It hailed violently, and the thunder and lightning were almost incessant. The bull meanwhile was exposed in'nn open shed, where he could be heard bellowing with terror. The farmer proposed that one of the laborers should go and remove him into the shelter of the barn, but no one of them was willing to face the storm, and finally the farmer's brother volunteered to undertake the task, facing at once the double danger of the lightning and the bull. He put on his great coat and ventured into the yard. "ihebull was trembling with fear, the gristle of his nose nearly torn through by his struggling to uet free, but as the man approached he became quiet. Fear had disarmed him of his ferocity, and he suffered himself to be untied and led into the nam. The next morning, as the man was crossing the yard, he remarked that tlie bull no longer saluted him with his accustomed bellow. It struck him that possibly the animal might remember his fondness of the night before. He accordingly approached him anjl found that now, so far from showing any dislike, the animal evidently enjoyed his presence, bending his head forward with Ihe utmost gentleness {while the man rubbed his ears. From that day the bull continued as I gen tie as a lamb, su tiering his former enemy to play :a 11 manner of tricks j with him?tricks which no one else on the farm would have dared to attempt ?and seeming always to take pleasure in liis company. In Congress the oth'er day Senator Dawes presented over two hundred and forty petitions from Massachusetts, stating that more than .s0(),O(JO gallons of intoxicating liquors are annually exported from the I'niled States to Africa, demoralizing the people there. Yes, and the records say that the principal part of it goes from lloston, and IJishop Taylor who is, and has been for some time on the ground, in his Magazine says: "True, rum is going there, too, hut there are hopeful signs even in this direction, for the nations of Europe are uniting to exclude it. The I'niled States is almost the only civilized nation that refuses to cooperate : so that even 'the cradle of American Jiberiy,' New England, with her historic Huston, is now the vilest plague spot on earth in supplying the rum!

' / . / '' " ' Let the Girls Romp. Most mothers have a dread of ! romps; so they lecture the jrirls daily jon the proprieties and exhort them to J be little ladies. They like to see them ; very quiet and jrentle. and as prim as ! possible. The lot of such children is ! rat hex pilisdde, foi they nre deprived of | the fun and frolje which they are entitled to. Children?hoys and nirls? ! must have exercise to keep them ! Iioflll liv Vi? Uipm nf if nnil flinv will Ijuie away like (lowers without sunshine. Running, racing, skipping, climbing? these are things that strengthen the muscles,# expand the chest, and build up the nerves. The mild dose of exercise taken in the nursery with calisthenics or gymuailics will not invigorate the system like a good romp in the open air. Mothers, therefore, who counsel their little girls to play quietly make a mistake. Belter the laughing, rosy-cheeked, romping girl than the pale lily-faced one, who is called every inch a lady. The latter rarely breaks things, or tears her dresses, or (ires her mother's patience as the former does; but alter all, what does the tearing amount to? ft is not wise policy to put an old head on young shoulders. Childhood is the time for childish pranks and plays. The girls will grow into womanhood soon enough. Let them he children as long as they can. Give them plenty of fresh air and sunlight aud pleasure. By all means give us hearty, healthy, romping girls, rather than pale-faced little ladies condemned from their very cradles to nervousness, headache and similar ailments. tm Noah and the Devil. When Noah was planting his vineyard the devil came to him and said: "What are you doing here, Noah?" "Planting a vineyard," says Noah! "What is the use of a vineyard?" says the devil. "Its fruit," said Noah, "whether fresh or dry is sweet and good, and its wine gladdens the heart." "Let us work on shares," said the devil "Agreed," said Noah. Now what does the devil do? He brings a lamb, a lion, a monkey and a hog, sacrifices them on tlie spot., and then niin?les their blood with the soil. "Whatis that for?" cried Noah. Said the enemy, "These are the four stages a drunkard will have to pass through ; by taking a iittle he becomes as simple as a sheep, allowing everybody to shear him ; a little more, lie imagines himself a lion, none so vio leni as ue, a nine more, ue necomes a monkey, jumping and dancing and imitating all foolishness. And a little more, lie is turned into a sow, that walloweth in the mire, forfeiting the good both of this world and of that which is to come." Any man that neglects the first warning of a brain or nervous system that is becoming exhausted, overtaxed, or about to break down, is not only a fool but a criminal. These signs are not many, but they tell the story of coming dangers only too plainly: Headache, sleeplessness, irritability of temper, neuralgic pains about the head and heart, unrestful sleep, nervous dyspepsia, dull eyes, heaviuess of the head and stupid feeling after meals, worry about trifles, unreasonable anger, tingling and numbness in the limbs, cold feet and hands, flushed face and burning ears, palpitation of the heart, and irregular, weak, and unsteady pulse. When you note these symptoms, beware! The brain and nerves are about to break down, and it may moan insanity, perhaps death. IJomc Guardian.

The Best Influence fob Children.?Keep your children at home. God gave them to you, and you alone lire responsible for them. If you would have them grow up industrious, thoughtful men and women, set them a good example, and keep them under $> your own influence as much as possi- * ; ble. The man or woman who does nothing but loaf or visit, accomplishes < ? no good whatsoever in this life, and I a doubt not the seed has been sown in childhood, and the seemingly harmless % visiting while young developed the lazy street loafer and gossiping gadabout. The mother who can seieuely walk out of her house for an afternoon of -1 pleasure, sending her children to a neighbor, for protection, may spend a charming and restful evening; but if ? she could look behind the scenes at her . - / neighbor's she might not be quite so well contented with herself. Be a Gentleman.?Manners are the garments of character. It is true, "2 you can dress up a French cook in the .m clothes of a nobleman, and pass him oft' for a count?at a distance. But bring him closer, and it soon appears t that iiis suit binds him in one place, and hangs too loosely in another. It . )i does not fit the man. He does not wear it as if it were a part of himself. So you may put fine manners on a coarse character, and try to pass him oft' for a gentleman. But the misfit will expote the deception. The true gentleman wears his manners like his clothing. They are the expression of his own self. Be a gentleman, and 3 your gentle manners will show it. Be a boor, and the very fineness of your manners will betray the boor beneath them. A rjovtnon ontlinrifu affirms fhftt ioaks are more frequently struck by lightning than beeches because the leaves are covered with a fine down, which is a better conductor of electricity than the smooth leaves of the oak. Experiments with electrical machines confirm the theory. A French chemist believes himself able to tell whether a soil is deficient in phosphorus, potash or nitrogen by the sKade of green of the vegetation. The leaves become yellowish when nitrogen is lacking. The Methodist Episcopal Church, through Bishop Hurst, have bought a costly lot of ground near Washingttir City for the purpose of establishing a new university under'the auspices of that church.
