T1IE FALL OF CARDINAL WOL8LY. Farewell, a long farewell Jo all my grcatucss This is the .Slate of Maine ; to-day in.in puts forth The louder leaves of hope, to-morrow blossoms, Ami bears his blushing honors thick upon him ; The third day conies a potato bug ; Tho fourth day this bug scuds for his family And gets reduced rates 011 the railroad For a colony of his neighbors. The sixth day a grasshopper and a Juuebug l'ut in appearance, and, seeing that It is a fine opening for young people, They send tor all their kith and kin, Who settle around the poor cuss like The seventeen year locusts in Egypt : And when he thinks, good, easy man, Full surely his greatness is a ripening, 'They eat him up slick as a whistle. Not even sparing the brass buckle 011 the. Pack of his pants ! 1 have ventured, like little wanton boys That swim ou bladders, These many summers in a sea of glory, lu full view of railroad trains, Hut at last I've come to grief; My high-blown pride at length broke under, And lias left me, weary and old with service, aud Afflicted v/itli curvituro of the spine, ringbone, Spavin, poll-evil, rheumatism, unable to swim, Aud at tho mercy of a rude stream 'That must forever hide me ! Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye! 1 feel my heart new opcucd ; 0I1, how wretched Is that poor cuss that hangs on Princes' favors, and cxnccls an annointment ' There is betwixt that "smile" he would aspire to, i That swoet aspect of princes and his ruin. More bangs and tears than wars or women l.avci And when he falls, lie falls like I.ucifer Learning to skate, never to hope again ! ?Oil City Derrick.

BERMUDA GRASS "I planted last February 05 acres in .Bermuda grass, >u rows 8 feet wide and 3 foot in drills, find have since planted a row of peas iu each middle, and cultivated sonic. I want to plant more grass next season. If there is a better plan where plants are scarce, L would like to kuow it. I want to sow the lands/J'alrcady set in grass, in wheat and oats next fall, manuring some. Will it iujuro the grass to plough it up at that season? The grass is what 1 want.?N. T. Luthcrsville, (Ja., June 10, 1S78." Answer:?Bermuda grass is becoming a subject of so general iutercst, tliat a rather more extended account of it than the inquiry in band calls for, seems appropriate. In the lirst place, it is a tropical plant, and docs not perfect seed in this country. A great many seem not to have learned this fact.? We have very frequent inquiries for seed. It is propagated exclusively by pieces of its underground growth, Whilst the portion abovo ground is killed in the winter, , the life of the plant is preserved until the fl/Jt next spring, by numerous underground stems. These mniify in every direction through the soil, and as soon as warm weather sets in?say in April or May? send up stalks to the surface. From these "runners" spread in every direction, caking root where circumstances favor, something after the manner of strawberries, and from these in turn again, underground stems arc developed. It forms ultimately a very dense sward, which neither tramping nor very close grazing damages, for the obvious reason, that the underground stems arc ever" present, and ready to send up a now growth above ground. Drought arrests its growth, but upon the advent of rain it at once springs up into new life. A decided "pest" in cultivated lands, it is for summer pasture (.May to October inclusive) not only unrivallod, but incomparably superior to anything else; and on rich bottom lands produces a large quantity of the very best hay. The distance at which Ilcrmuda should bo planted to secure a thick sward in shortest time, has not been determined by careful experiment. If the soil is rich and damp, it spreads more rapidly than when it is poor and dry. A wet scasou is also more favorable to its spreading than a dry one? the extending "runners" taking root at every joint on a wet surface. If plants arc abundant it is best to put them out thickly, say in checks 2 l'cct each way, that they may quickly take possession of the land, not giving intruders an opportunity to get in. With a scarcity of plants, aud these set out at wiue instances apart over a wnoic field, it is doubtful whether anything would be gained in time, over inuking two or more thick plantings, in successive winters, on portions of the land. Under almost any plan or treatment, it will however in a comparatively short time take possession of land, unless ploughed during dry, hot weal her, or shaded by other growth. Tho planting and cultivatiug of peas in the middles will do no harm, if the ploughing is dono when the ground is damp, but if the spreading grass is rooted up, by cultivating the peas in dry weather, it is liable either to be killed or to bo retarded in growth and spreading. It is a common belief that one of the host methods of eradicating licrmuda, is to plough it up in winter, and expose it to the i? CI 1 1 <1 I Ml. 1 .1 i lrce/.yjj- oome is uouuuess kuicu mat way, but in our observation uot a great deal.? That portion fully exposed on the surface of tlie soil may bo killed, but most of that eovered up escapes. After the winter rains set in and the ground continues damp, ploughing will not injure your Hermuda much, but fall ploughing in dry weather may destroy much of it. Aside from this, however, if you wish rapid growth of lJorinuda, do not slxtiir it with a small grain crop. Continuous shading by grain followed by peas (broadcast.) is one of the most effective means of eradicating Herm U'Ja ? Sunt linn (". THE BATTLE OF DINGLE'S MILL. ONE OF THE LAST FIGHTS OF THE WAR. A correspondent oi' the Acira ami Courier gives tho following interesting account of one of the last and most during battles in the late waY : The mouth of February, 18G5, was full of anxiety for the people in tho lower portion of South Carolina. Sherman had entered the State jproui Ceorgia, and already, the glare of burning homes lit up tho midnight sky and marked the track of his army. About this time Potter's Division left Cleorgotown and commenced its march, pass ing through Clareudou, Sumter auu Kershaw Counties ami ou iuto North Carolina. This force numbered some 15,000 troops of all arms. There was literally nobody to oppose them and they advanced leisurely. For several days the good people of Manning had been in a fever of excitement.? All sorts of rumors filled the air. The old men and boys got out of the way, the women and children were scared out of their wits. At last the long-expected dreaded day cauio and the Yankees were approaching the devoted little village. It was on Sunday. Ou that moruing two Confederate scouts (both now living,) stopped at a friend's house to rest a while, giving their horses in charge of a trusty ucgru2\vit,< instructions to bring them up oif^Thc first alarm. Early in the afternoon an alarm was raised way down the street, and there cauic the negro with the horses full tilt, hotly pursued by a dozen or so "blue coats." lie managed to get them to the gate, where one of the scouts was waiting for him, and vaulting into the saddle in the very teeth of the Yankees he was off in a twinkling. lie was hotly pursued, and had many shots fired at him. One of his pursuers, an officer, got in short range of him and ordered him to surrender. The scout, with one glance over his shoulder, quickly turned in bis saddle and brought his carbine to bear. A flash and report immediately followed, and the officer tumbled from his horse and lay dead in the street. The ball entered his mouth and passed through his braiu. At his fall the troops way in the rear shouted, "We've killed one d?d rebel !" but when they came up and found ic/io was killed, bitter imprecations burst from them and they swore they would be revenged. The dead officer was carried to the residence of Mr. Jllakely, prepared for burial, and was buried in that gentleman's flower garden, and and to-day he is still there sleeping his last sleep. 11 is name was Jones l'ratt, a lieutenant in J'otter's army. The Yanks left Mauuing early next morning?but they left it in nithos?a heap of smoking, smouldering ruins. Sixteen miles above Manniug, in Sumter County, there is a little mill pond known as "Diuglc's Mill." The stream is crossed by a very narrow causeway, about a hundred and fifty yards long. Here some live hundred Confederates?old men, beardless boys and convalescent soldiers?determined to dispute the ground with the overwhelming thousands. Well, they did it, and this is about how it was done : There was a young soldier there from Louisiana hv tho name of I'auipereau. lfe had one heavy field* piece, and this he placed in such a position as to rake the causeway. At the same time the gun was concealed from view. The Yankees had no idea there was any otic to oppose them, the Confederates being concealed by the hugo cypress trees and undergrowth, and behind a rail fence, just on the edge of the swamp. The Yankees soon came on and struck the causeway. Pampcrcau waited until they were in point blank range, then opened on them. That discharge of grape played havoc with the head of the advancing column, and so completely were the enemy taken by surprise that they retreated instantly. J ne i;onieucrntes were pouring a galling lire of musketry into tlieiu from all sides. Very soon the Yankee cannon began to roar, the shells and balls came fast and furious, but all too high. The gunners never did get the range. The Yankees now found what a small force was opposed to them, and deploying on each side of the causeway, after great difficulty and loss of life, managed to got through the boggy swamp, and took the little foreo in Hank, pouring a fearful fire into them as they came into the open field.? They fought bravely, but wore soon overcome and had to retreat the best way they could. The battle of Dingle's Mill was over. The Yankocs lost upwards of a hundred and fifty killed and wounded. The ConIcdcratcs some thirteen killed and twenty 11 Tf !*li I. .1 11 wounucu. i lore uica me urnvc ratnpereau, lighting his gun to tlio Inst. His mangled body was found beneath his gun, showing how he had died. I have often wondered if bis family, away down in Louisiana, have over known how* he died. Here, too, fell the gallant young McQueen, (son of Rev. Dr. McQuocn,) almost in sight of his home, lie was buried on the ground, but very soon after his body was moved to Sumter. I have often seen the grava where ho was first buried.? V. A. A 1 Ml llfMl? . ?? * i>?arer to me unu, young >> iiiio Keener, of Charleston, was killed, ami lying very near him was old man Long, dead, with his sixty years of honor on his bloody brow.? Tvo or three nights before the fight, young llecder, with Rome companions on the way to their command, went out of Manning singing, "Hut O 'Twill be sweet to remember." Poor fellow, there is nothing left his friends now but a sweet remembrance bow gloriously he gave up his young life in defence of his home. And it will "ho sweet to remember" all those noble fellows who died at "Dingle's Mill." Maiisiiam*. ? ? "What's that man yelling at V' asked an Illinois firmer 'T his hoy. "Why," chuckled the )?oy, he's yelling at the top of his voice." To Dkstuoy 15los.?To destory bugs on squash and-cucuuibcr vines, dissolve a tablespoon I n I ol saltpetre iu :i paili'ul of water.

IIow to Raise Lakoe Stkawrekiuks. ?Pros Wilder, the famous horticulturist when asked how lie succeeded in growing sucli beautiful strawberries, replied :? ''Three things are ncccssory?First, you should give them plenty of water. Hut this will uot answer unless you observe the second requisite, viz ; give the plants a little, more water. Hut with all this labor and care you will fail in obtaiuing the best results if you fail in the third condition, viz: <jivc the jtlants more witter." The strawber^bed once well established, ^ater is Ih^jPliy lerfilizcr needed to make mammoth' berries. Treatment op Heaves.?Heaves is often an hereditary or constitutional disease, depending upon s narrow and ill-formed chest; at other times it results lroui ncive wcakuess, and from indigestion, or it may be a resuil of all three combined. It is, therefore, seldom successfully treated by medieinc. The course usually followed with success is to give moist, cut feed ; but little corn, feeding crushed oats chiefly, in its place; to give with the feed four drains of sulphate of iron, with au equal quantity of ground gentian root, and to ho careful uot to overload the stomach with either food or wat<^ To Km a Harn op Hats.?The method is as follows : Procure several empty bnr'"I ^ ^ a quantity of bran or grain in them, and leave them for the rats to feed in without disturbance for a few days.? Then remove the bran, and half lill the barrels with water, covering the surface with bran. The rats will go into the barrels without hesitation, and inanv will be ' J caught. To prevent the increase of rats, avoid having any hiding places, leaving the Hoors often to the entrance of cats, raise all the sheds and buildings above ground on posts, and have no wooden lloors. If a person were suddenly asked what "Ghoughplhcighltceau" spcliod, the chances are that in the Hurry of the moment lie would say he didn't know ; yet Prof. Knowlton, of San Francisco, says it spells "potato." Ilo spells the word according to the following!rule x "Gh stands for p, as you'll find fvowihe last letters in hiccouirh.? Ough stands for o, as in dough. 1 'litli staudsfor t, as in phthisis. High stands for a, as in neighbor. Ttc stands for t, as in cozettc, and cau stands for o, as in beau." Sowing Guass in Woodland.?There are many opportunities ol providing valuable pasture lots by seeding wood-lots down to grass. If the undergrowth and ruhbish arc removed, aud the ^touud iightly broken up with - the plow and brfrrow, it may be seeded without difficulty. Orchard grass, and Kentucky bluo-grass, thrive best under timber. A bushel of each may be sown per acre. To Poui.tky Kaiskils.? Headers of the Cultivator engaged in poultry raising, should heed this useful suggestion : "Put a tnblcspo-.^^Uvif s>i!phur in the nest as soon as the hens or turkeys arc set. Tbo heat of the fowls causes the fumes of the sulphur to penetrate every part of their bodies, and every louse is killed, and as all nits aro hatched within ten days, when tho mother maves tno nest with ncr brood, sbc ts perfectly free from nits or lice. To Preserve Pea ani> 15i:an Seed. ?To preserve pea or bean seed in the South, all that is necessary is to put the seed in wood boxes or jars. Soak small pieces of cork in kcrosine oil or turpentine and mix with the seed. Put away in a dry place. To Kir.r, Hats.?A writer in the Ccrmuutoirn Telvyraph nays, "the best way that 1 have found to kill rats, is to get some good fresh plaster of Paris and put one pound of jt with three parts of corn meal (or haiKof each.) Ali rats that cat of this are sure to die. The amount of grain destroyed by rats every year is enormous." Guf.en Corn Puodino?Ouc dozen cars of corn grated.

Oats on Ckaykm.y Clay Land.?UI have a lield, mostly rod, gravelly clay land, cleared 12 or 11 years, lies well and is washed but little. All the land of this hind, in this section, makes, while irc.sh, good corn, wheat or oats. In March of last year this lield was ploughed (subsoiled) to the depth of 8 inches, aud planted in corn late in April. The cultivation was eleau, thougli^ot jMdue time. 'rhe crop was a very poOT oot^ No fertilizers were used. The lield was in corn the year before also. In September last the crop was cut off with knives, ami in October 1? bushels oats per acre were sown on the rough ground, and turned under and immediately dragged. The crop is good. You now nave tne conditions. j no question wun nic is this : Can I .sow this liold in oats again this fall, uud with like seasons, &c., and expect as good a crop as the present one, without fertilizers? Or even with a fertilizer, will the land be in condition, uicuhauically or chemically, to make a good crop ? And if you say use a fertilizer, what kind and quantity for the best and cheapest ? I have no stable manure nor cotton seed to use on oats.?Agricultor." A NSW Kit:?Several consecutive erops of oats may be grown on the same 'and, and in some iustanccs they seem to improve from year to year. The best plan for you, is to sow down land at once in peas?1 bushels per acre?with a view to turning under the vines the last of September, when the oats may be sown and ploughed in with the vinos. Sow 150 lbs. acid phosphate per acre with the peas, and if the season is favorable, you will have every reason to anticipate as good a erop the next year as the presont 0110. The ploughing iu of the peas, and allerwaids the ploughing in of the vines, will bring the soil into good mechanical condition ; and it may bo still farther improved by several liarrowiugs in different directions, using a harrow with teeth inclined backwards, so as not to pull up the vines to the sur'ace agaiu.?Southern Cultivator.
