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

B(7sinkss Kkvivinq.?However the case may
stand with .other commercial centres, there is
no longer any room for doubt or question as to
P the revival of trade here in the metropolis. The
fact is patent to everybody who has eyes. Western
and Southern faces, long missed and
mourned, are reappearing daily in the hotel corridors
and oh the down town sidewalks ; the
wholesale merchants are rubbing their hands
with satisfaction ; the railroads are carrying
u>uic uci?iil mini 11icy mive iiiiii titc nanming
f far years past. In the harbor, too, and along
the water front, there is a new lifo and hustle
very good to look at. Shippers and skippers
alike are hopeful. The five steamers that cleared
for Europe on Saturday took with them over a
p. quarter of a million bushels of grain, besides
beef, bacon, and other provisions. Altogether,
the outlook for the fall's business is decidedly
encouraging.? Xnr Y?rk Sim.

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,

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.

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
