Lime is one of the most important natu ral manures wo possess, and tho vuluo of ils application to thc soil hus been known from very carly periods. Tho action of lime ns u mu nu re is entirely regulated by the form (iud mannet iu wllioh it is applied to tho Boil, Quick lime should bc Used for heavy mid tenacious soils, as well BS 11)030 containing a fuir quantity of vege table mutter. On tho other huttd, if the soil bc light and friable, with little vegeta ble matter in it, caustic lime would in Buch u ocso do moro lia rm than good. Mild limo ought to bo used, treated witt) a mix ture of earth, and cxpusuro to the litmus* phcrio air, from which it tukrs carbonic acid, which takes away a great deni of its caustic properties. Tho different.. oircum* staucc8 and conditions of soil will not allow a uniform practice lo bc adopted, but jugd. mont and experience ought to regulate thc application of all manures. Every farmer should study his own soil und thereby he would bo able to avoid tho misapplication of good manure, llcforo thc introduction of artificial manures limo was moro uni versally used than now, which helps to account for tho poor crops of clover and the difficulty of raising good turnips. It is essentially necessary that 0 supply of lime should exist in thc soil to meet thc ro quirements of tho various crops. livery eultivuted plant needs a supply of limo for thc tuilding up of its structure, and, in combination with phosphoric acid, limo fi,rms o large portion of tho skeletons of tho unimuls who feed upon the crops. A soil may contain large supplies of every ingredient which a crop requires and still be unable to yield them to tho plant, they being iu an inactive state, as it is only thut portion of thc soil which is soluble in water which is available us plant food. Any unu'ysis of u soil which only tells its com position is of little value unless it cnn show the activo matter ready to bo taken Up by the crop. Lime ucts upon thu dormant matter in thc soi', and performs thc impor tant function of rendering these notivc. Cluy soils generally contain within them selves potash and soda, und we know by experiment that limo liberates these inor ganic: elements. Accordiug lo Prpf. Way, lime lief pu to form u valuable class of Baits known us double silicates, or ulumina, which has tho power of absorbing ummotiiu from tho atmosphere. Lime neutralizes tho acids in thc soil und sweetens thc hcrbogo, besides supplying food for tho perfect growth Of the crops. It id thought by some to do a wasteful practice to allow lime to come in immediate contact with farmyard manure, thinking it Would cause a loss of ammonia; but they overlook thc cotrolling influence consequent upon tho action taking place in thc soil. Tho action of cuustio I limo upon ti mixture of farmyard manure 1 und decayed organic mutter produces a most valuable fertiliser-viz., L'itruto of potash Limo, besides being a plant food aud bringing into useful condition tho several organic and inorganic malters in thc soil, UIBO improves its physical character, rent dering stiff und tenacious clays friable and easy to work. However, tho use of lime renders a supply of other manure necessary ond under a good system of husbandry tho increase of crops will increase tho quantity of manure. Taking into aocouut tho Various functions it performs, it U ono of our best natural manures. However, it cannot be expected to produce its full effects immediately ofter being appliod. Nushvdlc Agricidturht. ("Corrcspoodonoo of New York Sun ] Bich Discoveries in Georgia? ATLANTA, Juno 30.-Attention is now attracted to a new sort of cotton plant wliioh bids fair to become immensely valu able. For immy yours Mr. A. A. Subers, of Macon, has been carefully experiment ing to hybrodizo tho cotton plant that grows wild in Florida with tho common okra. Tho ootton piont used is of that species which is found on tho lowlands of tho Oaloosahatohio Uiver. Tho now plant retains tho okra stalk aud tho foliage of tho I cotton. Its flower ond fruit, however, is strikingly unlike cither cotton or okra. Tho plant hus an average height of two I feet, and each plant has only ono bloom. ! This is a magnificent flower, very muon liko tho great magnolia fragranoo and equally ! as large. Liko tho cotton bloom, tho I flower is while for several days after it open?, after whioh it ia Amt palo pink, ano! gradu? ully assumes darker shades of this color until it bocomcs red, wheo it drops, dis cusing a wonderful boll. For about ten durs this boll resembles tho cotton bol! and then its growth suddenly iuoroascs BS if by magie until it finally roajbes tho ? size cf a big cocoanut. Not until it I reaches this size does tho lint appear. Then its snowy threads begin lo burst from tito boll but aro bald securely iu placo by the okra-liko thorns or points thal linc tho boll. Ooo inexperienced piokor can easily gather 800 pounds a day, and fast hands much moro. Wcro tho only saving that of labor in gathering the Mot, tho result of Mr. Sn ber's experiment would entitle him to tho las'ing gratitude of tho Southern farmer. But this is not all-there aro no seeds tu tho lint. Euch boll produocs about two pounds of very fine long staple cotton, eupctior to tho sea island, aud at the bottom of tho boll thoo aro from four to six seeds, resembling persimmon seed. This ucw colton, therefore, uccds no giu uiog. Our earliest settlers used to hear strange and marvellous stories from thc Indians of a wonderful silver mino on the (J h a torga Uiver, in Cherokee county, Alabama. Tito Indiana would exhibit roughly carved or naments of silver that they ouid was made of oro taken from this minc in solid blocks. They cou'd not bo induced to point out tho locality of thc minc, and few believed their story. Several years ago Go). James Cullen heard that thc Indians said tho mino ran through his farm, nnd he has spent much time, labor and money in a vain search for it. These facts carno to thc not leo of Cob Alfrod Shorter, of Rome, who sent to thc Indian Nation for on Indian named Hol land, who knew about tho mino ond its luculity. After examining tho ground Holland pointed out thc locality of thc minc, nud suid it was a vein three feet iu diameter nnd several miles iu length. Al tho lowest computation it is said to bc worth S10,000,0U0. Judge Mackey on Lynch Law. Sonic time ago Judge Mackey had oo* cisi?n to make some remarks from (he benoit ubout Lynch Liw and ho used thc following strong but pcrtiucut language Judge Mackey suid: ,:Lynching is organized murder. Those who engage in it seek ti) givo sanctity tc crime by the strength of numbers. It U tho crime of. many to punish thc assumed guilt of one. It tramples tho majesty ol tho law nuder thc feet of the mob and substitutes tho hot breath of revenge and thc clamor of an unreasoning throng foi tito calm atmosphere of tho civil courts Tho citizen who engages in it thereby im peached tho judicial tribunals of tim country and proclaims to tho world thc utter incapacity of tho Commonwealth ol South Curulina to furnish udequuto protec tion to tho persons and properly of its citizenship. Ile announces by his acts that organized government moving through legal forms is a failure, and that society has resolved itself into its original barbaric clements, in which ull wrong?, real or as sumed, arc redressed by bruto force and might makes right. "Every person accused of crituo is prc? sumed in law to Lo innocent until his guilt ii proven under cstublishcd rules of cvidcoci beyond a reasonable doubt. Ile is entitled us a sacred und inviolable right, to a publit trial by on impartial jury, and to meet tin witnesses aguinst him fuco to fnee, and t bo heard by counsel in his defence. It asserting that defense, ho hus thc right t exhaust ull tho resources of tho law, aud t invoke tho judgment of tho court of las resort on a final appeal against any verdie which he may deem assailable upon iege grounds. Tho legal presumption of in no ccncc sanctifies tito grave man who dies b thc bunds of a mob. His pretended con fession cannot overthrow thc presuuiptiot for thc horror of his situation and thc torro exercised to enforce such confession rende it absolutely void. "At such a ghastly spcotaolo civilizatio shudders throughout its cntiro frame an ull good citizens mourn the cxistcno in the breast of a civilized com in unity of a latent savagery that may b aroused to tho commission of such an op palling clime."

Tl houses did not join each other on tl ground, and between them were garde and shrubbery. From houso tcp to hou top wcro bridges swung, over which t inhabitants wcro accustomed to pass. A brandi of tho Euphrates went throuj tho oity, over which a bridgo of marvello structure was thrown, and under whiel tunnel ran. To keep the river from ove flowing the city in times of freshet a gre biko was arrorged to catch tho surplus, H hie!) tl.? water was kt|t ts a ro3crv< until times of drouth, whoa it was sent strcomiog down over tho thirsty land.

Tho wifo of Nebuchadnezzar, having been brought up among tho mountains of Media, could not stund it io this flat country of Babylon, and so, to ploase her, Nebuchad nszzar had a mountain, four hundred feet high, built in tho midst of tho oily; The mountain was surrounded by terraces, for support of which grcut arohes wero lifted. Ou tho top of tho arohes flat stones were luid; thea a layer of reeds and bitumen; then two rows of brick closely cemented; then thick shcots of loud upou which tho soil was placed, Tho earth hero deposited wus so deep that the largest trees had room to anchor their roots.

According to a table compiled at thc Census Bureau, und which wo published tho otbor duy, there wero 13.830,849 males of twonty ouo years of ogo ond over in the United States in 1882. That total was made up of 8,270,518 white native, 3,072,487 whito foreign ond 1,487,344 colored men. Among tho colored wero inoludcd Chinese, Japanese and Indians, but of course tho vast majority wero of Afriuan blood. Something above a quarter ul tho males of a voting ago wore therefore, foreign born and about one-ninth wero colored. Foreign und colored to? gelber made up nearly one-third cf thc total. lt must bo borne in mind, however, that a very considera bio part of tho foreign born wero not qualified to voto, not having yet been naturalized. And this propor tion most havo boen largo in 1880, for during that yoar nearly bali a million tm migrants arrived in the United States, a greater number than .in any previous year, 1873 alano excepted. But perhaps it would bo safo.to suv that about one-?fth of tho voting population of tho Union wero of foreign birth, against, something like a tenth of Afrioan descent and about two thirds of nativo whites.

Milk thoroughly, OB any milk left io the udder is likely to thicken, and do in jury to tho oow as well as lessening the quan tity. Again, remember that theuiilk grows r cher until tho lust. Read tho following from the pen cf Dr Anderson, of Du th y England: "Wo filled several largo teacups of thc samo size, oommcnoiog with milk at thc beginning of the milking, and others ai regular intervals, till the lust, which was Glied with tho "trippings or soakings. These were severally weighed, so os to ascer tuin that tho quantity of lt wag the samn? aud after repeating this experiment, a nam bhr of trials with different cows, the results were stated as follows: The quantity of orea m from tho first-drawn cup was iii every case, muoh inferior and smaller thatt th >t from the hst oup drawn, and those be tween giving less or moro aa they woro nearer to the beginning or end. In thu oaso of some cows tho variutlon of croom from thc first cup to tho last wes in tho proportion of sixteen to ouc, and ?o no oaso was it less than eight to ono. Tho differ ence in quality WUB much grouter than in quantity. In tho first cup tho cream was thin, and in tho last cup tho cream was' thicker and richer in color, more so than of any. The diff?rence in the q'tfality of tho milk that remained ofter the cream' was separated was still greater than either, in respect to the quantity und quality of tho cream. Tho milk of tho first cup was thin and bluish, as if a largo proportion weto water, whilo that of thc last cup was a thick consistency and of a yellow color, moro like that Of dream than milk, both in appearance and taste." It hos been said that a little mess fed to a oow whilo milking often hos a good effect, and she meunwilc yields her milk moro freely. As nearly as possible, observe twelve hours between milking-a rule of more importance than at first might seem to a careless milker. Thc beating of a ?ow with a milking stool, or kicking with youi feet should novcr bo allowed. Tho Committee o?
