L I ' THOMPSON CowIIDES AN
Eiui-ro.-R appears that the moral
aiil] sedate people of Chicago object to
the legitimato burlesq'ie of Lydia
'Thompson aid her British blondes.
For some wenks past a newspapor,
hand-bill and Opera House war pre.
vailed in that city, between the
Chicago 'limes and the Lydia Thomp
Lon Burlesque Troupe. From an ex
chango we learn that the wordy con
test culminated on Thursday, in
Lydia intercepting the editor, Mr.
Story, on his wiay to dinnor, anid with
the aissitance of throo of bur associate
blondes and four miae friends, applied
a coupie of blows to the object of bior
venom with a ratw.hido(1 carried for the
purposo. The pdico separated the
camb~iatants and earchod the assaulting
crowd to the polico oflice, where they
were required to give bail for a breach
ofI the poaa to. TPhis bellicoso burles
quo it would scm, is no chicken, and
will not be criticised by tihe press.
We see no remedy for our confrere of
the TIimes, but to get an Amierioan
barunotte burlesque to call Lydia out
for himn. -
The Baltimore Amherican says .A
letter from Columbia, South Carolina,
says that a citizen of that city hans
ordered fronm Europe an ice-making
machine, which will turnt out 1,1000
pioundcs per' hour. Tho process is
chenuical, a solution of amml~onia being
$130 principal ageney, and the machine
is worked't by a steam e.ngino of three
horso power. The cost of manufao
ture, incoluding labor and material,
anid using the largest, machine, is
est inuated at tnn cents for 100 pounds
of ice. At that rate largo pro~ts

two andl a half cents a pound, anld at

Iu.msois --Tuoiday last, at Boards- W
town, Illinois, a man named Wilcox
entered a saloon kept by Yeok & In
lBucker, and, in a squabble, drew In
a revolver and shot Yeok dead. He wi
then tuined aid fired at lleeker, in. '
flicting an ugly and dangerous wound.
The murderer wa's arrested. On
Friday, Yoek was buried and there t
was a large gathering at leardstown. C0
.Just after dark, a crowd of fully 500
gathered at the jail, entered and
seized a prisoner whom they supposed
to be the murderer, got a ropo around 81
his neck, and then discovered that
they had the wrong man. In the
imeatimoe, the murderer, who was in
aimother cell id chained to tihe floor,
was mado aware of tihe designs of the 01
mob. H1 got posOOShion of an iron P
bar, and, as the leaders of the niob a
proposed to open the cell-door, lie
warned themn that lie would sell his
life ldearly. This resolute domeanor it
produced a change of action, but did nm
not defoat the purpose of the leaders. w
A pistol-shot through tie head of the 8(
murderer killed him. Tihe body was c
taken out of doors aind hung by tihe

the courtly reply, "when a regiment

A New PIarty Needcd. s
The efforts being made, by such c
"lame ducks" as Senator Hendricks,
to gathor again the fragments of the
Demnocratio party, and to infuse into
it victorious life, do not seem to us to r
promi-e success. There is, indeed, a
vast body of unorganized voters dis- 1
satisfied with Radical rule, and de
siro-.a of a change ; but tile majority
of themin would welcome a change
from within, just as cordially as from U
wi'hont the adlie1il party ; and if s'
,or s:st:aell w.uld seriously consid- i
or this fact, they would start to over
throw the Radical house, by joining *
the better portion of it and dividing 0
it against itself, instead of standing i
aloof on so-called Democratio princi
ples. They would attack it, not ah "
e~xtra, but ab intra. Time present con- d
stitution of thme UT. S. Senate, with tI
but. eight Democrats in it, anid the i
pmrensenmt constitution of the Supreme i
Court, and even thme present constitu..
tion of time House of Representatives,
clearly indicate this as thme miore prao- o,
ticable method of bringing about ir
better govern mont. Amid we believe, fi
too, it is going to be done. We wait, ci
not for 1872, for we have private a
opinions about that date, but for 1874. y
Loose Management.n
Upon thme heels of Whittemore's ex
pulsion from Congress, comes thmen
news of Land-Commnissioner Leslie's
resignation, togther with a rumoer that
the Laud Conmission has drawn from
the Treasury and expended more than
a humndred thousand dollars beyond
tihe amount appropriated last winter. t
There never was the slightest call for
the Land Commission. What is
rather needed in South Carolina, is a
more skilful and scientifia agriculture,
amid this the land commnission, by en- r
couraging ignorance in isolated efforts a
at Agrioultnre, with inadequate ar. am
pliances and capital, has a most hurt
fiul influence to retard. We doubt
whethecr the State c'an retain ips popu.
tation with& the present syestemn of cul- c
turo, and, therefore, greatly doubt if
the land commission can prove any pr
ether than a failure ; for it perpotu- wi
ates the vecry worst features of our ti
system. But if dishonesty also steps St
in as an element in time problem, who
can doubt the disastrous result of thism
whole impracticable agrarian job ?
Yet we are willinig to wait amnd see it qt
work. ha
Agricultural EducatIon. lii
If the $700,000 in all which our is
General Assembly hias appropriated, Jm<
withmout the slightest neessity, to the C<
Land Commission, (for land can be sis
purchased, at low rates, throughout oa
the State) had been bestowed upon uc
founding, in connection with thme Uni- ta
versity, an' Agricultural 8ohool, to- St
gether with an experimental, and sev- th
eral model farms and agrioultural ar,
stations, It would have shown true TI
foresight and wise liberality. A th or- Ias
oughm iimpirovemnent of our Agrioualture p r
would have resulted. Our popvlatto1 pe
would hAcvr &ecm kant *u h , .n &- p

some of the German States, would,
ton years, have tripled, and the

Scientific Culture.
Mr. Clemson, in his admirable re
art, favors separate Agricultural and
olytechnic schools, to be 6upported
' different points throighout the
tate by State funds. In this he is
ndoubtedly wrong. le pits hie
rude undigested opinion against the
Kpericnco of the world. It has been
>und far better in Europe to connect
gricultural and Polytechnic schools
ith their great Universities. The
luseum, the geological and botanical
llection, the chnimioal and philo.
>phicnl apparatus, always connected
ith a groat institution of learning,
nd the presence of learned men both
s professors and students, all con.
ine to stimulate to the att'ainment of
iperior excollenco, and put the iso.
Atod schools at a disadvantage in
)mparison.
Educated Labor.
The introductory pages of the last
)port of the Commnisiioner of Agri
Alture, give a most interesting col
lotion of statistics upon the vages of
.grioultural laborers throughout the
rnion, and teach thi.i very important
:sson, that where there are a great
umber and variety of industrial pur.
its, where commerce, art, mianufac
ares, science and agrioulture go
and in hand, and production is not
mnfined to one or two groat staples
ily, there wages are double what
key are throughout the South.

Sicott, we t-hohlit, was swift to p:ar

strips his South C-irolina bre.ther in
the race. Chief (- stable Hubbard,
it will be recollected, was arrested iin
Augnuta last fall, and held to) bail by
Justice Ellis-the charge being falso
imprisonment. Gov. Scott sent the
required amount of bail. Tihe case
was to be tried next week, but Gov.
Bullock has sent a pardon to Mr.
IIubbard in advance of his trial. The
Chronicle and Sentinel says:
There is no doubt in the world that
if Ilubbard should have come to trial
he would have been convicted, as the
testimony against him was of the
most positive and convincing nature.
Indeed, so assured was the prisoner
himself of the result, that lie had an.
nounued his intention of not coming
to Augusta when the Superior Court
met, prefering rather to lot the nioney
of South Carolina be forfeited than
to face a Georgia jury. Thus Bul
look las again interfered with the
law by means of a document, which,
as Governor, he has the honor, we be
lieve, of having invented-a pardon
in advance of a trial.

Forty cotton speculators more or

rible as inevitable, unless the price
advance within the next few days,
awaits soue of the boldest tradesmen
of this city. There are dealers hav
ing several thousand bales on hand.
One of these, hodging, I suppose, to

1,200 bales, for about $130,000.
His estimated losses are $100,000.

A Fnlo0IITFUE. ERROAD ACeIDENT.
-Cu Saturday evening, as a freight
train was backing into the turn out
at idgeville, about thirty miles from
Charleston, a white man named Bax
ter was run over. Twenty-six ears
passed over his body, dreadfully and
frightfully mangling it. The engi
neer felt the shock, and stopped his
train as soon as possible. Having
jumped down to ascertain the cause
of thme shoek, he was horrified at be
holdngthe m angled body of his own
father. It is probable that In at
toenpting to jump on the engine, he
mised his footing and fell under the
wvheels. Mr. Baxter was an old em

o the raising of corn, says :
"It is an old error of our planters
,o suppose that when they make an
immense crop of cotton they have
made so much clear gain ; to forget
hat when they are wit houtgrain they
must rob cotton Peter to pay Paul.
And yet this old foe puts on a new
aoe this year. and we hear of immense
preparations for cotton and very slim
nes for corn. This will not do.

With heavy grain crops this present

naking a smaller crop equally valua.

The March number of this sterling
oonthly is, as usual, promptly before
is, and fully sustains its reputation.
.t has several particularly noteworthy
apers. "The Preparation of Land
or Cotton," signed "Low Middling,"
rhich we believe is from the pen of
leneral Johnson Hagood, of Barn
roll, contains some most timely aug.
estions, backed up by the necessary
acts and figures. "The Premium

~lanting and Cultivating Cotton,'" are
Iso worthy of attention in the same
onneetion, and are timely and to the

Felons on the Fingea'.
As many persons are liable to ex
treme suffering from felons on the fin
gor, we give the following simple do.
cootion which is recommended as a
sure eure for the distressing ailment.
These aflictions are not only painful,
but not unfrequently oooasion perna
nent crippling of the member affected :
"Take common rook salt, suob as is
used for sulting down pork and beef,
dry it in an oven, then pound it fine,
mix it with spirits of turpentine in
equal parts. Put it on a rug and
wrap it round the finger, and as it
gets dry put on some more, and in
twenty-four hours the felon will be
dead."
The Phonix stands Brst on the list of
Guanos.
I used, this year, Phconix Guano,
Soluble Pacific, Baugh's Raw Bone
and Mapes' Phosphate. Where there
was 200 lbs. Phonix Guano it is hard
to discern any difference between it
and 300 lbs. Soluble Pacific. The
Phonix stands first on the list of
Guanos with me. From present pros
pects I think it will more than double
the yield of cotton this year.
