WAX FIGURES vs. SHAKESPEARE. A showman, named Ward, recently ad-; dressed the Cleveland Plaindealer quite an original and forcible essay on the superiority of an exhibition of wax figures over the performance of Shakespeare's plays. Here it is: I'm travellin with a tent which is better nor hirin halls. My show consists of a serious of wax works, a panetamy called a Grand Movin Diarea of the War in the Crymear, nomio songs and the Cangaroo, which last u ? little cuss continues to conduct himself in the most outrageous style. I started out with the idea of making my show a grate Moral Entertainment, but i'm compelled to sware so much at that air infernal Cangeroo that i'm fraid this desine will be flustrated to sum extent. And while speakio of morality remines me that sum folks turn up their noses at shows like mine, sayin they is low and not to be patronized by people of high degree. Sure I maintain that this is unfernal nonsense. I maintain that wax figures is more elevation than all the plays ever wroten. Take Shakespeer for instance.? People think he's grate things, but I contend he is quite the reverse to the contrary. What sort of sense is thare to King Leer who goes round cussin his darters, cbawin hay and throwing straws at folk, and larfin like a silly old koot and makin a ass of himself ginerally ? Thare's Mrs Macbeth, she is a nice kind of a wooman to have ain't she a puttin old .Mac, her husband, up to slaying Duncan with a cheese knife, while he is payin a friendly visit to their house. 0 it's highly morality i spose, when she larfs wildly and sez <>gin me the daggers?i'le let his bowels out," or words to that effeck?i say this is all strickly proper, i spoze? That tTack Fawlstaf is likewise a immoral old cuss take him how ye may; and Himlit is as crazy as a loon. Thare's Richurd Third?people think he is grate things, but i look upon him in the lite of a monster. He kills everybody he takes a noshun to in cold blood, and then goes to sleep in his tent. Bimeby he wakes up and yells for a boss, so he can go orf and kill sum' more people If he is not a fit specimen for the gallies then i should like to know ware yu find um. Thare's l?rgo who is more ornery nor pizun.

A Hard Story.?There is a doctor in the northwestern part of this consolidated city, who is especially remarkable for being, a9 women term it, "short and crusty." A week or two since he was called to visit a patient who was laboring under a severe attack of cheap whiskey. "Well, doctor, I'm down, you sec?completely floored?I've got the tremendous delirum, you know 1" "Tremens, you fool; where'd you get your rum ?" queried the doctor. "All over in spots?broke out promiscu-1 ously, doctor!" "Served you right. Where did you get your rum ?" "Father died of the same disease; took i him under the short ribs and carried him j off bodily." "Well, you've got to take something im- j mediately." "You're a trump, Doc?here, wife, I'll j take a nip of old rye." "Lie still, blockhead. Mrs. B., if your J husband should get worse before I return, njRi'nh T will in an hour. iu9t mvc him a i "J"V" 7 J O lose of that trunk strap, may be that'll fetch ; him to a sense of his folly." " The doctor sailed out grandly, and within ' an hour sailed in again, and found his friend ; of the "tremendous delirium" in a terrible ; eonditiou, writhing and struggling with pain. Ilis wife, a female of the plain but ignorant. school, came up and laying her hand upon the doctor's arm, said, "Doctor, I gave him ; the strap as you directed." "Did you thrash him well ?" "Thrash him!" exclaimed the astonished j woman: "no, I cut the strap into hash and I made him swallow it!" "Oh Lord, doctor," roared the victim, "I j swallowed the leather, but?but?" "But what 1" "I swallowed the whole strap, but I'm dashed if I could go the buckle." The doctor administered two broad pills and evaporated. ? 1,1,1 Singular Excuse.?The Annapolis Gazette tells the followiug story of a citizen of that place: " A person better known for his wealth than for his liberality, was requested to aid in the erection of a chureh. The subscription book wus placed in his hands. He look- < cd at it anxiously and earnestly, and handed it hack with the astounding remark : No sir ! I will not give anything; not half as many people go to hell now as ought to go.'" A Logical Baggage Master.?The I post of baggage master on railroad trains is not an enviable one. There is ofteu a wide difference between the Company's regulations and the passenger's opinion of what articles, and what amount of them, comes under the denomination of baggage ; and this differj ence of opinion frequently subjects the unlucky official of the trunks and band-box department to animated discussions with a certain class of the travelling, public. We heard lately an anecdote of "George," the affable B. M. on Captain Cobb's traiu on the Virginia and Tennessee road, which is too good to be lost: A passenger presented himself at a way station on the road, with two trunks and a saddle, for which he requested checks. The i ?- ?nLoMrpfl the trunks, i nugget; iuneic? w bat demanded the extra charge of twentyfive cents for the saddle. To this the passenger demurred, and losing his temper, peremptorily asked? " Will you check my baggage, sir ?" "Are you a horse ?" quietly asked George. "What do you mean, sir?" exclaimed the irate traveler. "You claim to have this saddle checked as baggage ?" " Certainly?it is baggage," positively returned the passenger. " Well," said the impertuable George, "by the compaoy's regulations nothing but wearing apparel is admitted to be baggage ; and if this saddle is your wearing apparel, of course you must be |a horse ? Now, sir, just allow me to strap it on your back, and it shall go the end of the road without any ex tra charge whatever." The traveller paid his quarter, and offered George his hat.?Bristol News. Power of Music.?Some years ago a tall gaunt, knock-kneed, red-headed, cross eyed, lumix of a Hoosier, who was a hunter of the classical Wabash, conceived the idea of making a visit to the homo of his pro| geniture to old Kaintuck He did so?rantI ed round amongst the girls some, and was {of course, from his native impudence and unearthly ugliness, the observed of all ob servers. One morning the whole neighborhood wss astonished with the news that the 1 tt * 1 ' afro r on ugly noosier naa eiupeu mm vim. amiable, pood looking woman, wife of Mr. B., and mother of half a dozen of little B's. For two long years the disconsolate husband mourned over his untoward bereavement ; I at the end of that period, however, to his I utter astonishment one day, in popped Mrs. B., looking as bright and rosy as ever. After the first joyful greeting was over, the injured B., thus addressed his truant spouse : Xaney, how could you take up with that thar onairthly ugly Hoosier, and leave me and the children all forlorn, as you did ? Well Josh, said Xancy, that thair ugly critter from Tndirany, was a little the best whistler; I used to think you could whistle some, but I never hcerd whistlin as Is whistlin, until I heard him which took my sense clean away, and I follered him off on thatnccount. A short time ago, however, he caught the measles, and they split his whistlin for ever?the charm was broken, and so I concluded to ceme back to you; but 0 Josh I that Hoosier was the awfullest whistler that ever puckered !?PlacerviUc Index. prcklrd Poll.?We found this anecdote going about without any 'credit' : A certain young lady, who was famous for making good pickled walnuts, and was very fond of eating them, too, one season discovered that her jars were emptied before she had fairly tasted her favorite pickle. She called her servants to account, but each one denied having meddied with the jars, and the good lady determined, if possible, to find out the thief. So she made another fine lot of pickles, and placed them on the shelf in the same store-room, keeping a daily watch upon them. To her great surprise, she discovered no other than her pet parrot to be the pilferer of her pickle jars. She caught him hooking out the walnuts with his crook ed beak, and iu her anger, she dashed upon him a pitcher of hot water, which she chanced to have in her band. Poor Poll was in sad plight, both in suffering and appearance; his bright feathers all fell out, aud he was long in this naked condition ; nursed by the pity of his forgiving mistress. Duriog this period of probation, a venerable friend of the lady, who was quite bald, one day came to visit her. Poll wad died quietly into the parlor, and climbing upon the back of the old gentleman's chair, seemed for some time to be intently examining his bald head; then, growing bolder, be got upon his shoulder, and with his beak upon the bald spot, cried : 'So!?so! you've been at the pickled walnuts, too, have you ?' flta?* Love is ingenious in reasons, or at least in pretexts. Sometimes they are very flimsy ones. Every body remembers the young lady whoassigned as a reason for getting married, that she thought a wedding in the family would "amuse the children." Here is another little humbug equally as precious. " Bridget," said a young lady to her servant, Bridget Conlcy, "who was that you was takiug with so long at the gate, last night?" i " Sure, no one but me eldest brother, | ma'am," replied rsnaget, witu a nuseu cheek. i " Your brother; I didn't know you had a I brother! what is his name?" : "Barney Octoolain, raa'am." I "Indeed ! how comes it that his name is i not the same as yours?" I " Troth, ma'am," replied Bridget, "he < has been married once." ; i ' j&o?* At a public dinner, a man, while re- ' latiug something to the company about two J1 Chinese women, said?"I declare they were ;< the ugliest women I have seen anywhere." j' There happening to be two maiden ladies J' present of no remarkable beauty, the speaker ' who was a little misty, began to think he 1 had made a mess of it, and that they would \' imagine he was allud'ig to them ; so, to put 1 matters straight, as he thought, he added, : i "the present company excepted." Itoars of ' laughter ensued, and, in a few minutes, both ' speaker and ladies had vanished. i t One of the Directions.?A letter pass- < ed through the Rappahannock, Virginia, post i office the other day, addressed to a person < "out West," with the title, "Attorney at I Law, and tlic very devil ai Bluff I" 11 ^farmer's ?epartatent.|j From the Cotton Planter and Soil. BENEFITS OF WINTER PLOWING. ? I)r. Cloud?Dear Sir .-?There is a 6e- ( ries of articles by Mr. \V. C. Tally, running ' through the May, Jiiue and July uutxibers ' of the Cotton Planter, in which be attempts ^ to prove that nothing durable can be obtain- 1 ed from the practice of winter plowing, or ( wiuter cultivation. With all imaginable ' deference to Mr. T. and his opinions, we 1 propose to labor in refutation of some of the 1 charges he has preferred against this, to us, 5 seemingly useful practice. 1 Mr. T. pronounces it an absurdity, and 1 charges it with impoverishing ou r lands, de- I stroying our teams, etc But let him speax i for himself. By winter plowing "the soil ' is rendered unfertile, and turned tocjld and ! clammy tnud, the vegetating esseuoe sunk 1 by cold and chilling rains, or crisped with ' blasting winds, hands and bodies chilled, 1 feet soaked with cold mud and water, tho ' result of which is death to thousands."? ' Why he must have supposed our winters one ' cold black, continuous night, interspersed with naught save "chilling rains" and "blasting winds." He would have us be- i lieve that we must plow in the mud and cold, if we plow at all in winter. Ic is true | that winter is the disagreeable season with farmers, but notunfrequently, we have weeks and weeks of fine sunny days, with pleasant bracing atmestpherc, in which we could plow t or prosecute any other work, with as little chance of killing our lands, our teams, and ourselves, as during any part of March, the | the time he says we should commence plow- !1 ing. We are no advocate of the practice!, of plowing lands when too wet, at any sea- : t son, but consider it less injurious iu winter |1 than in summer, as s. freeze would prevent, | J to a considerable extent, the bakiug which j is almost sure to follow. jJ With those who rest their lands as a means j; of reclaiming them, winter or fall plowing | cannot well be dispensed with. For it would a be poorly worth while to rest it, were we to gather up the grass and weeds and burn t them previous to bedding up, and in case t they grew exubeiantly this would have to f be done if postponed till spring. There is ^ not within our knowledge any process by j r which weed or stubble lands can be so well t prepared as by winter plowing. Every ex- 1 perienced famer knows that land with a heavy crop of weeds, grass or stubble, can- i not be bedded properly at plantingtime with- 1 out burning off the superabundant vegetable j mnsa. And even admit that we can get it 11 tolerably well bedded neither cotton or corn f comes up or grows of well on it. The pro- f per plan to be pursued with such lands is ' not to wait until ?f"do? but t0 I5've good and thorugh w inter or fall plowing, turning under ground the whole vegetable mass, which will decay by time for planting, when we can prepare aud plant to our entire satisfaction. We have no hesitancy in asserting that, j could we find it convenient to do so, our lands generally, would be much benefited . by winter plowing. But ourmanure is to be put out, and there is no better plan within our knowledge, than to haul it to the field in February, or sooner, opening a deep fur- < row, depositing it therein, and immediatley follow with a turn plow, running two furrows on each side, and thoroughly covering. But Mr. T. informs us that it is neither beneficial to plow our lands in winter, or dispose of our manure ?s I have here recommended He says, speaking of plowing in dead vegetable matter : " As the earth begins, in October, to conceive ac.d inhale, all the nuturalizing property is soon inhale dand concepted from the hay through the roots of the grass, into the earth, and leaves the hay without a particle of nuturalizing element, and if plowed into the soil it will prove a nuisance, and will absorb all the nuriment conceived and inhaled, and that would give life and growth to the coming forth of His appointed propagation, that would be ! realized if tbe dead hay were burned off," F etc., etc.; but we have quoted enough for our purpose, of this sentence, though not all of it. No one will contend that this dead mass of weeds or grass are anything like so j nourising to the soil as the same would be if turned under in the green state; still, if plowed in soon enough to decay before plant- | ing time, they offer no obstacle to the planting of our crops, while they uudoubtely do C much towards enriching and rendering the soil porous and pulverizable. As to depri- ' ving the earth of that which they give it in autumn, this is sheer hypothesis, for since I, they soon decay, they become part and parcel r of the earth themselves, and therefore they cannot do our lands any harm by being plow- t din. I To carry out his process of reasoning he ? chalks out a plan for putting out manure, C by which winter plowiug is entirely dispen- * ed with, lie advises us to spread our man- j ure on the surface of our land, and allow it v to remain there all winter and until spring be fully set in. Upon this subject he says: " Farmers need no longer contend that manure spread on the surface will evaporate or exhale during winter, as no law of nature, undisturbed or violated, will sustain the doctrine." By this assertion he has exhibited a lamentable want of knowledge, both as to what constitutes manure, and of nature's law3. In the preparation of manure, it is our ? aim to retain in them their gaseous and vol- J] atile elements, by protecting them from the weather, which is no little trouble, and in fact would be work thrown away, were we to leave it scattered on the surface of our lands for a whole winter. Carbonic acid and n ammonia are very important elements in the food of growing plants. The former is * supplied mostly from the air, the green leaves having the power of appropriating the carbon and liberating the i.xygen. Ammonia exists in abundance in well Jpreparcd stable ^ manure, and, in fact, in any decaying organic 1 C matter, as does carbonic acid also. Ammonia exists in the air, but not insufficient quantity for such Dlants as corn or cotton, the for -J ft ? matiou of whoso roots enable them to take up water, holding it in solution as weii as carious salts of soda, potassa, silica, and ^ lime. Hence manure should on no accouDt be placed in a position favorable for setting free the ammonia, since the air oanuot fur- j aish enough for plants. Now to prevent the j escape of ammonia from the manure, it should ' by all means be put into the ground as soon is carried to the field, and in no instance T left scattered on the surface, as eniment chemists agree that both carbonic acid and \ ammonia arc decomposed by light. Conse- o! ^uently, when Mr. T. spreads his manure on 01 the surface, ho exposes it to light and to the vicissitudes of weather, and instead of 1 teepiug to hiiusblf the full benefits of it, he most important elements enter, and do ny crop as much good as they possibly can j lis own. In conclusion we niuststatc that we heartly agree with Mr. Tally in attributing ruauy )f the blunders into which we have from ! ;ime to time fallen, to the theoretical spccu- j ations of those who have written for our cdi- j ication ; but we think that he has fallen in- i j :o the very error he so properly condetrs in ithers, and we recommend to hi in and to all ( jtliers, who would confer a real benefit on ( " - _i? i :ne tarmiug interest, wuuu iu^j wu :o be cautious and avoid new theoretical J speculations and generalization of principles, ind as far as practicable restrict themselves :o .'sets founded on experience. The intelli- j ^ent farmer, if guardful of his interest, will 1 place but little trust in theory; and will be slow to adopt views, in support of which sound reason and carefully obtained experimental results cannot be adduced. Systems originating in hypothesis, though sublima- I ted and subtilized by sophistry, and clothed in all the pomp of rhetoric, must sooner or later, vanish before the radiance of experimental science.

SANFORD, Compounded entirely from GUMS, IS ONE OF THE BEST PURGATIVE AND LIVER MEDICINES now before tLe public, that nets una Cathartic, easier, milder, and n.cje effectual than any other medicine known. It is not only a Cathartic, but a Liver remedy, acting first on the Liver to eject its morbid matter, then on the stomach and bowels to carry off that matter, thus accomplishing two purposes effectually, without any of the painful feelings experienced in the operations of most Cathartic?. It strengthens the system at the same time that it purges it; and when taken daily in moderate doses, wiil strengthen and build it up with unusual rapidity. The Liver id one of' the principal regulators ofthe human body; and fir. when it performs its functions well, the pow hi'ers of the system are fully developed. The ^\ tlomach is almost entirely dependent on the'W; healthy action of the Liver, for the propeijr, performance ol its functions; when the stom-finch is at fault, the bowels are at fault, and the: J whole system suffers in consequence of one o -j^ gan?the Liver?hnvingceased todo its dutyi For the diseases of that organ, one of the pro- Qn prietors has made it his ^ study, in a practice ol PH more than twenty years to find some remedywherewith to counteract the many derange 'W^ments to which it is liable. ifKl To prove , that this ^ remedy isat last found, any person troubiedLjIwiih Liver Com plain in any of its forms, ha? f*, but to try a bottle, and conviction is certain, These Gums removi r jail morbid or bad matter from the system.

One or two doses cures attacks caused by Worms in Children ; there is no surer, safer, or speedier remedy in the world, as it never failt. 8?, A few bottles cures Dropsy, by exciting the absorbents. We take pleasure in recommending this medicine as a preventive for Fever and Ague, Chill Fever, and all Fevers of a Bilious Type. It operates with certainty, and thousands are willing to testify to its wonderful virtues. All who use it are giving their unanimous testimony in its favor. Jgk. Mix water in tbe mouth with the Jnvigorator, and swallow borh together, THE LIVER INVIGORATOft IS A SCIENTIFIC MEDICAL DISCOVERY, and \ is daily working cures, almost too great to believe. It cures as if by magic, even the firtt dote giving benefit, and seldom more than one bottle is required to cure any kind of Liver Complaint, from the worst Jaundice or J)yxprptia. to a common flepd ache, all of wbioh are the result of a Diseased Liver.

The restorative of prof. o. j, wood FOR RESTORING hair perfectly ftpd permanently, has never yet had a rival, volume after volume might be given from all parts of the world and from the moBt intelligent to prove that it it a perfect Restorative; but read the circular and you cannot doubt; read also the following. The Haib.?People have for centuries been afflicted with baldheads, and the only remedy, heretofore kpovn, basbepp those gbopjjpable wigs. By a recent discovery of Professor Wood these articles are being fast dispensed with, but a great many persons still patronize them, because they have been "o often imposed upon by Hair Tonics of different kinds. To all such persons we earnestly make the request, that tbey will try once again, for iu Wood's Restorative there is no such thing as fail. We know of a lady yho yas halff fvjbo used the article a sport time, and ber hena Is now covered completely with the tiniest and most beautiful curls imaginable.? We know of numerous cases where hair was rap idly falling out, which it restored in greater perfection than it ever hud been before. It is also without doubt one of the beat articles for keeping the hair in good condition, making it soft and glossy,removing dandruff, and has proved itself the greatest euemy to all the ills that hair is heir to. it is the duty of every one to improve their personal appearance though some may differ in regard to the ways of doing it; but every one will admit that a beautiful bead of hair, either in man or woman, iB an object much to be desired, and there are no means that should he left untried to obtain such a consideration.?
