of Mrs. Partihgton with regard to the
proclivities of Ike, who had a hard namo
in the neighborhood?he meant tho
direction for good or ill that the boy
was walking.
"Well," said the old lady, "he isn't
tending anywhere yet. 1 thought some
of putting him into a wholesome store,
but. some says the ringtail is the most
boneficious, though he isn't old cuough
yet to go into a store.
"I meant morally tending," said her
visitor ?(.leiutily, straightening bimse) f
up like an ax-handle.
"Yes," said ehe, a little coufusodly.
as though sho didn't fully understand
but didn't wish to insult him by saying
she didn't, "yes, 1 should hope he'd
tend morally, though there's a great
difference in shopkeepers, and the moral
tenderness iu some seems a good deal
less than in others, aud in others a good

Fire Bales to the Acre.
Mr. T. C!. Warthen, a thrifty planter
living near Saudcrsvillo, Oa., his man
aged to raise five bales of cotton to tho
acre, and thus explain! how be did it.
"The soil is sandy, with clay subsoil.
Has been in cultivation for sixty or
eighty years, I suppose. About half of
the acre was an old dung-hill, the other
half very poor before manuring. The
guano I used was Kcttlcwell's A. A.,
or Phospho Peruvian, 1,400 pounds ;
raw pine straff from the wood, GO ox
cart b ads ; greon cotton seed, GO bushols;
stable manure, well rolled, 400 bushels.
The pine straw, cotton see l and stable
manure I hauled out in Januaay, and
strewed broadcast over the laud , then
turned undor with a two-horse plough,
breaking oi: ht inches deep. Then with
a sixteen inch scooter run in the two
horse furrow, breaking from five to
seven inches ; in the whole thirteen to
fifteen inches deep. I then followed in
tho scooter furrow with tho guano or
subsoil furrow, so on, till completed. In
February I repeated the breaking in
the same manner, leaving off manuring.
In March, tho same again, breaking
each time crosswise, or in opposite direc
tion. In April, I harrowed the iaud
twice, to levol the soil and destroy the
young vegetation. Then 1 checked off
my rows thsee feet each way, with a
small bulltoiiguc plough, and on the
13th day of May I planted my cotton
seed in the hill, six or eight seed, drop
pod by hand and covered with the foot;
the seed wheu covered being on n level.
The ccud were the "Cluster Coiton"
variety. I purchased them from D*vid
Dicknon, Esq., Oxford, Georgia, to
whom I must confess I am indebted for
my success, to uccrtainextc.it. The
seed, I am confident, were half the
battle. The cotton was thincd to one
stalk to the bill in June, with exception
of the outside rows, iu which I left two
stalks. Then 1 ploughed with twenty
fOur-iuch sweep "Dickson's," shallow,
one fuirow to the row, and about eight
days afterward T repeated tho same,
running one furrow to the row, just
scraping the earth enough to destroy
the young weeds and gras*. Did not
u>=c a hoc in it, in order to avoid sinking
the cotton, in fact, had no use for any.
as the cotton grew so fast the shndc
I thereof prevented all vegetation from
growing underneath."

The Memphis Appeal says : 'Nearly
two thousand of tho citizens of Mem
phis havo passed away from earth since
tho yellow fever began its death work in
September last. Think ol this army of
nearly two thousand men and women,
varied hero and there with little chil
dren, sent to their long account. Thoy
were strong in health and full of life
and hope seven weeks a:_,o. They might
havo been saved. The homes that have
beeu darkened by their deaths aud the
hearts that still ache for the nover re
turning light of their smiles and the
sweetuess of their love, might still be
bright and happy with their living pre
sence. The widows and orphans that
mourn for them, as only the p ?or can
muifYn that have been oast upon the
charity of strangers and the short-lived
benevoleuc of a world too busy to ro

gold coins (probably Kidd'a treasure,")
