South Carolina's Quota or Arms ron Forty Years, Furnished to the Negroes.?Washington, September 9.?Governor Hampton went away from this city without being able to secure any government arms for his State militia. The critics who cried out at Hampton's coming hero to secure arms for what they pleased to call the White League, will have to chnngo their tone. When Hampton made application it was thought that his State was entitled to a large number of arms. The militia companies in his State are not able to arm themselves ; hence the application. On examining at the War Department the astounding discovery was made that South Carolina has already received an advanco of all arms to which it is entitled for forty years to come. It was also discovered that this extra>' ordinary issue of arms came through Don Cameron, who, at the instance of Honest John Pat. t$rson, ran this lead of arms into South Carolina for the use Of the negroes only. This was done last fall when the Camcrons and ('handlers were crying out so loudly at the dangers arising from the presence of the White Languors in South Carolina. This when the negroes had twenty stands of arms to one of the whites. Rp?idi>s this great issue of arms, it will be remembered that a large body of troops was ordered into South Carolina. Everything was done that could be done here to precipitate a color-line fight, hut the patience and coolness of Governor V / Hampton and his people frustrated this well laid plan. Governor Hampton goes hack without any arras for his State, but ho is satisfied with the reasoa as it will help explain to the public the extreme means adopted by the administration peoplo towarde the South.?New York Sun. ?

Tbo latter part of this month or during be first half of ucxt, sow ry# for winter and pring pasturage. The Rural WorU says f it, the farmer that docB jiot raise a ciop f rye for his stock makes i great qxistuke. \) this we would add thnAt is cheap, and 11 kinds of stock like it. As pasturage for nilch cows there is nothing better. Green ood mixed with the dry proveudcr.of wincr serves to keep stock in bcfcltby coudition, nd their bowels open; and fof weakly alves and colts no pasturage is quite so ;ood as rjo in the early ^spring. lu many ways rye is a superior stock crop, id nud.lhM f o^tin fj.a irocess <5r iHtatton.r Tn6 practice of rest ng land witn briers nu?l weeds is not a probable one. Land does uot require rest, as ras once supposed, but only nl-cds a change f crops joined with recuperative tillage nd manuring to increase constantly in ferility. As a rotative crop lor this purpose, ye serves an excellent use. It draws but ightly ou the soil, and leaves uiore of the leuients of fertility in the field than it exracts from it. Land is always benefited by lowing, and as rye requires first a plowing f the soil and afterwards leaves a porous ad full of roots to mako manure for a sucecdiug crop, it is easy to see how this crop i beneficial. Hut this is uot all, or perhaps uot the est, of its uses. As a bread crop it is conidorcd almost if not quite equal to wheat, luring the past spring wc partook of rye road almost exclusively for several days, nd although we prefer wheat flour for genral family purposes, wc found the rye to lake a good aud, we believe, very nutritious read Ah a substitute for buckwheat flour 11 the manufacture of that incomparable reakfast dish, it can hardly bo detected.? >o that, if not tbo equal of flour, it suplies an excellent bread material which verv farmer would do well to mine some of Ve like a change in our food frequently, ntl in view of the capabilities of our soil nd climate, what excuse have we for not storing to this want ?

Dll'TliEKiA.?We consider no apology necessary for insertiug the following article upon diptheria from the pen of Dr. F. F. Gary, of Cokesbury, and extracted from the Press and Banner of Abbeville. Dr. Gary has had a very large experience during the past summer with this terrible disease, and as ho has been wonderfully successful, his views and advice are cutitlud to most favorable consideration. At oue time, out of a population of perhaps not over sixty or seveuty children, there were forty-two down or affected with diptheria, and, from first to last, Dr. Gary had over fifty cases. Ilis loss had been a little over five per cent, aud 'Ml pelUu|t. tf ftmiUniHW a careful perusal and practical heeding of his advice to all pareuts: In compliance with your request I herewith send you the following propositions in reference to dcptheriu, which arc in accord with my own experience and observation and which have received the sanction of the majority of the medical profession: Mode of attack.?Dipthcria is caused by the iuuoculatiou of the membrane lining the air passages with the diptheretic poison, which from this point infects the whole system; the local inflammation is attended with the formation of mcmbrance (exudation ;) the fever aud general symptoms are the result of this local infection. Si/mjitoms.?lu ordinary attacks the poison begins to act the moment it lodges upon the tissues ; there is fever with marked prostration, dryness of throat, aud paiu in swallowing; the throat and neck arc swollen.? In mild cases the symptoms subside in four or five days ; if unfavorable the fever increases, the local inflammation spreads, and exhaustion rapidly follows. The Person?Dipthcria attacks, by preference, childreu between the ages of 2 aud 10 years. i ! . a. .ip -a -J i oi?.w/is.?.L/ipuiena is nut auecieu uy cither heat or cold, drought or rain. Precaution?When dipthcria is prevailing, no child should be allowed to kiss straugo children, nor those suffering from sore throat j nor should it sleep with, or be confined to, roouis occupied by, or use articles or toys taken in the uiouth, handkerchiefs, &o., belonging to children having aorc throat, croup or catarrh. The. sick.?Sick childrcu should be rigidly isolated, in full aired rooms. All discharges from the mouth and nose should be received into vessels containing disinfectants. Preventives.?There is no special preventive nor any one specific remedy lor the cure of dipthcria. Attention to ordinary hygienic rules is enjoined. Quinine is the best preventive, and may be taken in the following combination : Chlorate of potash, one drachm; quinine, twenty grains ; muriatcd tincture of iron, two drachms; water, seven ounces; take a tunspooiifull three times a day. Treatment.?Details of treatment would be out of place in this connection. Examine your children*' throats every day during the | revaleuce of an epidemic of dipthcria, and as soon as you discover the characteristics of the disease, send for your physician, for it is eminently true in this disease "that a stitch in time saves nine." If you cauuot get a physician soon, give the above mixture, and gargle the throat with a weak soluticu of carbolic acid, chlorine water, or even the above mixture taken internally. The best way to apply washes to the throat is by means of the Atomizer or by inhalation. Rough mopping the throat is an injury. None but careful hands should ever use the mop?a camel hair pencil is better. Conclusion.?The above observations are not intended for tho medical profession, who arc presumed to know as much as tho writer about diptheria, but simply to furnish the general reader of your paper with some observations about diptheria, that they may not be unprepared to recognize it, and should it appear in their midst have some suggestions as to what is best to do. If the farmer persists in selling off his crops, or anything that is made from his crops, as beef, pork, butter, cheese, the soil must be constantly growing poorer in inorganic elements, unless fertilizers outside the farm are procured and substituted for the elements removed, for when we s II any pro duct ot the farm we sell a part of the soil, uot enough, perhaps, in a single pound or ton of anything to sensibly diminish the quantity leit, but enough that the aggregate in a few years may render the field and farm barren. It is like an individual picking his own pocket for the sake of getting money to spend. A Cuuk For Hon Cholera.?Mr. W. A. Klliugton, a prominent farmer of Chatham County, N C., writes to the l>ppart)1US tried with universal success tho following remedy for hog-cholera : Mixture for five hogs?Teaspoonful of ammonia, one tahlcspoonful of blucstonc, one tahlcspoonful cooking soda, ball of ordinary soap, size of a goose egg, handful of salt. Dissolve tho mass in a quart of water and mix in buttermilk. "Well, there is something in tha t," as the man said when he tried to put on his hoot with a kitten in it. Clovkr.?No matter how mismanaged, clover is a benefit, and whatever else ho may do, the farmer who grows clover, is making bis farm bettor. What, then, might not the result be, if the same care were taken of the clover held as of other crops ? It does uot need cultivating ; the long, doop \ reaching roots mellow and pulverizo the soil ) as nothing elso cau. If the clover grows thriftily, the top acts as a mulch, seeding the ground and keeping it moist. A crop of two tons or moro of clover, whether ploughed undci or cut for hay, cau hardly fail to leave the soil better than it was before. It should bo the farmor's aim to grow Ihu liugcBi pnMlblu t'ropg,' ur nrr^?? ? slight dressing of gypsum?ouc hundred pounds per aero in early spring?often produces wonderful results. Hut if a farmer , | has a little well rotted manure, the scrapings of baru-yards, fall is the time to apply it. Clover is often injured by freezing nuts thawing in winter, and a very slight covering of manure will afford a great deal of protection, ltich earth from corners ot fences, is well worth drawing a short distanco on young clover, provided the ground is hard and firm. If the field is not mowed next season coarser manure cau be used.? Country Gentleman. Debts op Honor.?The famous Paul .Tones, hnving resolved to pay his debts, Grst discharged those which he deemed debts of honor. An arlisau, who was one of his creditors, called ou him and presented his bill. "I havo 110 monoy just now my frieud ?I have no money just now, my friend." "Hut, sir, I know that you paid away fifty pounds this morning, and that you have still some left." "Oh ! that was a debt of honor." "Well, sir, 1 will make mine one also"?and, so saying, the mau threw his aecouut into the fire. Paul paid the debt on tho spot. a In answer to tho question : Why nro farmers so liable to rheumatism? The ^ .... . ^ Science of Health says: "Heciluso they wear wet clothing, heat, and suddenlv chill the body, over-cat after very hard work, and because they do uot keep the' skin iu a clean and healthy condition. If farmers would avoid suddenly cooling the body after great exertion-, if they would be careful not to go with wet clothing and wet feet, and if thuy wuulil noLAvur^tut. wU?u iu an tibnun- ?- . ? ted condition, and bathe daily, using much friction, they would have less rheumatism." Mow to Kill Lice on Houses, Cows and IIoos.?A practical farmer of Robeson county sends us the following receipt taken from the Southern Gardency and lieeeipt Hook : ' Take the water in which Irish potatoes have been boiled and rub it all over tlio skin. The lice will be dead in two hours and will never multiply again. I havo used ten kinds of the strongest poison to kill lice, all with effect, but none so perfect as this." Oats?If the dryness of ground hapreventod sowing a full crop of oats hithera to, sowings may be continued to the middle of tho-inouth, and even to the last of it, in the gulf regions. Manure the later sowings heavily, to strengthen them against cold.? Stable manure or commercial fertilizers aro best?cotton seed, which arc excellent for oats, will not act promptly cnou<:h. and tho oats will get little aid from them in tho early winter, if the, arc applied after tho weather gets cool. Crushed seed or tho meal would do better.?Southern Cultivtor. Clover Hay or Rye ani> Oats.?For high-colored, sweet-flavored butter, we havo found that clover hay, cut when iu early blossom and cured in tiie cock, without much exposure to the sun, is the best feed. The next in value is oats, cut when in tho milk, and carefully curod ltyo cut green and cured we do not value very much. Wo have found peas and oats, sown together, cut in flower and cured, to be excellent feed for milch cows during winter. It is also a prolific crop. The man who does nothing don't amount to much. It makes little difference whether lie is a millionaire or a pauper. He is only a stagnant pool without energy enough to start a ripple. He diffuses a moral miasma over everything around him. Ho something; don't stand on the corner gaping, with your hands in your pockets, like an idiot. Tho world was made to work in, and if you fill your hearts with good angels the bad spirits will keep out because there is uo room for them. Corn Meal Waffles.?Tho yolks of two eggs well beaten, one teaspoonful of butter, ono of wheat flour, ouo tcaspoonful salt, one pint sweet milk (or water), one pint of com meal, or corn flour, if you havo ;? -...1 .u- ? -r .u iv, ?o uiuvi y unu lUDiijr, uiu wiiuca ui tiio ggs wcll%bcnteii.
