It induces in us a feeling of surprise and some degree of concern to see the almost apathy with which the proceedings of the annual convention of the South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical Society (pub? lished over a month ago) has been receiv? ed by both press and people. Only a few of our most thinking men seem to be aware that in that brochure of seventy-two pages-there is thought?real, living, prac? tical thought?enough to make reputations for half a dozen volumes. It is thought, too, just stich as we need in this day of dawning progress in practical things? thought that goes to the roots of things, and which, it is to be earnestly hoped, will do much to shape the policy of our commonwealth. There are in this publication eleven pa? pers?the address of the president, re? ports upon divers subjects, two letters, and some notes on fencing?all bearing marks of careful and practical thinking. Prominent among these papers, and in most respects the ablest, and, upon the whole, the most suggestive, is that upon the "Necessity of Scientific and Praottcal Education," submitted by the chairman of the committee on that subject?Thom? as G. Clemson, Esq. Mr. Clemson boldly takes the position that South Carolina must establish insti? tutions of a technical character?institu? tions (or an institution) in which educa? tion in the sciences, and their applications tcrthe productive arts, shall be giveH to our people. Agricultural colleges espe? cially, he maintains, have become a neces? sity to onr State. "Under the new order of things," Mr. Clemson adds, "Carolina must take a new departure. Science will convert your gullied, .sterile fields into rich prairies of perennial verdure, giving sustenance to ahealthyand thriving stock, which will replace, with great profit, the emaciated starvelings that wander about, sad and unsatisfied, dragging out unprofi? table lives." Mr. Clemson's idea is not only that thie technical education will bring South Car? olina into the front rank of material pros? perity; but, further, that without it she is doomed to sink lower and lower, because her soil, climate and productions are such that every year of the old-fashioned agri? culture leads to greater exhaustion. He is against the importation of expensive fertilizers from abroad ; and finds in deep ploughing, irrigation, and proper distribu? tion and culture of crops?all of which must be under the direction of scientific practical knowledge?ample means to make onr soil and its yield all that could be desired. It will, of course, be impossible here to go with Mr. Clemson into the history statis? tics, and argument, by which he so ably demonstrates his proposition, but we de? sire to enter our record of the fact that he has demonstrated it; and to point our readers to the paper itself. In indicating the abundant resources, so richly worth development, that teem in our waters, soils, and vegetation, Mr. Clemson mentions a dozen or more of I which some are almost wholly untried. Among these are salt (muriate of soda), soda, cromine, iodine, lime, chlorine, bleaching powder (chloride of lime), manganese?all of which are found in abundance in our soil or seas. lie urges the preparation for use and sale of soaps, beets, sugar, peas, potatoes, groundnuts, fish, oysters, kaolin, meats, fruits, and various vegetables. On the whole, the paper is one somewhat discursive and unequal as to form, but eminently able and valuable in its matter, and well worthy the careful study of every.planter, large and small, in South Cwolw%.-~Columbia Guardian. St?fpe? Cabbage.?Take a largo head of cabbage; boil it until half done, take it out and stuff between every leaf, press it np well again, tie it, and bake in an oven fifteen or twenty minutes. Make the stuffing as follows : Chop very fine some fat roast beef with some old ham or bacon of some kind. Mix an equal quan? tity of crumbled stale bread, and season with pepper and salt, and chopped onions. Unless the meat is very fat add butter to the stuffing, and take care to begin to stuff from the very coro. Buckwheat Cakes.?The fine brown color so desirable on this favorito break? fast dish can not be obtained if wo only rely on buckwheat flour and water alone to "form tne batter. In order to secure this color, milk should bo used instead of | wate*,, and in its absence we should re? commend tho addition of finely mashed) boiljed potatoes. This mashed potato improves the flavor of tho cakes and causes, them to rise better. ? A harness kept well oiled is easier for the animal, is stronger, don't wear out half as fast as ono allowed to go year'in and year out without care. Clean tho harness with a sponge and ca6tilosoap.? Applythe oil with an oil paint brush. A long tin pan saves the drip. ? Those who house their carts and wagons in Robin Hood's barn?all out doors?uro often seen traveling to tho blacksmith and wheelwright shop for re? pairs. ? Green wood cannot be burned. It is batter to dry it by tho beat of tho sum? mer sun, than in tho stove. ? A poultice of onions applied morn? ing, noon and night, for threo or lour days will euro a felon. ? A littlo salt thrown into the fire will, it is said, extinguish a burning chim? ney, i Education for the Farmer. A bad system of agriculture?the off? spring of ignorance and indolenoe?im? poverishes the soil and the planter alike. It is under such a system that our lands, as a rule, have grown less and less pro? ductive 3*ear by year, till thrown out and given up to broom-sedge and old field pines. It is not "book farming" which has worn out our lands and mado farm? ing an unattractive and a comparatively unprofitable business, but farming with? out books?not education but ignorance. This ignorance still prevails too exten? sively, but at the same time we have ex? amples of skillful, scientific farming. What is the result of such farming? It is not too much to sfty that the best fann? ing of to-day is fonrfold more productive than that of our fathers, though we can noi claim to be more industrious or ener? getic than they. The use of improved implements, doing better work and saving labor at the samo time j liberal manuring, adapted in kind to the crop to be produc? ed, and a more rational cultivation, havo combinod to'ensure the increased produc? tion. "Now tho best farming of to-day is educated farming?the result of study and thought?tho offspring of applied scionce?iu other words, "book farming." It is this kind of farming which enables Mr. David Dickson, of Georgia, to make two bales of cotton to tho aero on his poor worn-out lands, and Dr. J. W. Par? ker, of this State, to harvest 200 bushels corn from an acre of what was lately a sour, malaria breeding quagmiro. We are not advocating mere specula? tion?untried theorising?but carefully ap? plied science?the deductions of philosophy confirmod by experiment. "Progress with prudence, practice with science" is our motto. We are apt to undervalue the debt which manual labor owes to tho intellec? tual labor ol discovery and invention. As some one has aptly said: "Patient, laborious thought, appiied to the prob? lems of pneumatics and mechanics, has givon us the steam engine, tho locomotive, the spinning jenny, the power loom, the sowing machine, tho reaper, the thresher, the grain drill and a host of other labor multiplying machines, without which, to? day, we should be almost savages." Let not the farmer, of all men, despise education?professional agricultural edu? cation, particularly?but get all tho knowledgo he can from hooks as well as from experience, and see to it that his sons shall have, so far as possible the advan? tages which he himself may have lacked, in qualifying themselves for tho most hon? orable of all callings?the cultivation of tho soil.?Rural Carolinian. Fence Law.?While in Columbia we received several letters, from persons in different sections of the State requesting us to introduce and favor a Bill to com? pel all owners of stock to keep them in? closed. At the Agricultural Fair held in Columbia last fall the proprioty of such a law was under consideration and among the proceedings of that body wo notice a Bill published, which proposes to leave the question to tho voters of oach county, whether or not stock shall be inclosed. In tho Andorson Intelligencer of the 17th instant, we notice a communication ad? vocating the inclosing of stock. These facts servo to show that this will be a live question before tho people of tho State, and as every farmer is interested in its solution, he should be calculating the ben? efits and disadvantages likoly to result from it. The proportion of arable to wood land in this County is as one to twelve acres. Our ridges and mountain sides are covered with the richest sum? mer and fall pasturage, which to a great extent supplies Columbia and Charleston with fine beef cattle at no cxponso to the owner for fattening. Our mast, chest? nuts, chinquepins and acorns often suffice to fatten our pork at little expense. Thousands of pounds of pork were sold in Walhalla last fall which had never cracked a grain of corn. For thoso rea? sons perhaps tho inclosing of stock would be against the interest of this County. On the other hand, man}' benefits would result from such a law. Necessity would compel us to keep a smaller numbor and better breed of cattle, hogs and other stock, which might be found more eco? nomical and profitable than our scrub stock with all the advantages of pastu? rage. It would prevent tho loss of fer? tile lands whero fences run through bot? toms and open fields. <fcc. It is a ques? tion which should be fairly and fully dis? cussed in every County Agricultural So? ciety in tho State, and we suggest that course to the Society in our County. It concerns tho farmers and thoy should de? cide it.?Keowee Courier. The Crow.?H. Ward ."Beecher speaks of the crow as follows : "Aside from this special question of profit and loss, we have a warm side to? ward the crow, ho is so much like our? selves. He is laz}*, and that is human; ho is cunning, and that is human, lie takes advantago of those weaker than himself, and that is manlike. He is bIv, and hides for to-morrow what he can't cat to-day, showing a real human providence. He learns tricks much faster than ho docs useful things, showing a truo boy-nature. He thinks his own color the best, and loves to hear his own voice, which are eminent traits of humanity. Ho will never work when he can get another to work for him ?a genuine human trait. He cats what? ever ho can lay his claws upon, and is less mischievous with a belly lull than hungry, and that is like a man. He is at war with all living-creatures except his own kind, and with them when he has nothing else to do. "JS'o wonder men despise crows. They arc too much like men. Tako off his wings, and put him in breeches, and crows would make fair average men. Give men wings, and reduce their smartness a little, and many of them would be almost good enough to bo crows." ---? ? "I am old enough," says Smollct, in a letter to his friend Garrick, "to have seen and observed that wo aro all play? things of fortune; and that it often do pends upon something as insignificant und precarious as the tossing up of a half-pen? ny whether a man rises to affluenco and honors, or continues to his dying day struggling with tho difficulties and dis? graces of life." ? The rain that falls on tho roof of a barn will water the cattle kept inside. Political Ar-athy and Political Ac? tivity.?Hon. Tlioma8 A. Hcndricks, of Indiana, one of tbe ablest leaders of the Demecratie party, recently made a speech in New Orleans, from which we make the following extracts. In regard to the apa? thy existing among our people concern? ing their political duties, ho said : "I have heard it said by men of this State, and of some other Southern States, that they would take no part in tho po? litical controversies of the times ; that it was no use to do so; that tho States had settled the question. Will you allow me to say that that sentiment ought not to bo entertained by any citizen of the Uni? ted States ? There is no man so high that he is above the consideration of those questions that touch the liberty of his country. Thero is no man so low that he cannot exercise sorao influence for tho welfare of his country. Why shall the men of the South say they will tak.o no active, responsible part in the discussion and decision of tho questions that occupy the public attentiou ? The Southern States have a vast population. They have mighty resources. Their fortunes are now bound up in tho fortunes of all tho States of this Union, and it is no time now, when tho institutions of this country are imperiled, for any man to hesitate for ono moment in the discharge of his duty to his country." He then urged that it was the policy of tho South to adhere to the National Democracy, and thus referred to tho du "ties before tho American people: "Now you men of the South can con? tribute your part of the work. What have we to accomplish ? Wo have our institutions to preserve, tho Constitution to maintain, and the Union to perpetu? ate. This is tho work for you, as it is the work for the men of tho North. Up? on what party, upon what association of men can you roly for this work ? Will you rely upon radicalism, that is carry? ing us day by day further from tho path? way marked by the feet of tho fathers of the country ? Will you, then, rely upon the Democratic party, with such conscr | vativos as are willing to co-operate with that party, for tho good work which is to be accomplished ? I appeal to you to or? ganize under tho banner of tho Democra? cy, because it is tho national party?not national in the sense alone that it has its supporters in every section of the country, North and South?but national, because it supports tho rights for every section of the country; national, because it upholds j the bright banner on which is written tho principles upon which our fatherseroctod ' the fabric ot this Government," Death of Hon. Axsox Buklixgame.? Hon. Anson Burlingarai?, formerly of Massachusetts, but more recently the spe? cial envoy from "the Imperial Court of Chiua to the United States and the Euro? pean powers, died at St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia, on Wednesday, Februa? ry 28. Mr. Burlingarae was a New Yorker by birth, and in his forty-eighth year. His youth was spent in surveying on the Western frontier; but he laid the founda? tion of his education in Michigan, and re? ceived a degree at Harvard University, Massachusetts, in 184G. In 1S52 he was elected to the Massachusetts Senate, and became a representative in the Thirty fourth Congress. He was re-elected to the Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth Congress, and in 1SG1 was appointed by President Lincoln minister to Austria and subse? quently to China. This latter position he resigned in 1SG7, to accept a diplomatic apointment as the first ambassador of China to America and Europe. Mr. Bur lingame had given the Chinese govern? ment ample proofs of his ability and friendliness, aud exerted all his influence to liberalize and at the same time strength? en the Imperial government. This was the main reason of his appointment. The treaty between China and the United States, negotiated by Mr. Burlingame, was ratified in July, 186S. A similar treaty was subsequently negotiated with England and France, and at the time of his death, Mr. Burlingame was engaged in like negotiations at the Russian capital. Mr. Burlingame it was who broke down in part the barrier which separated China from America and Europe, and who taught the lesson that a nation, to have its own | rights respected, must begin by respect? ing the rights of others. Where to Wear Garters.?A hand? some leg is a rarity, we had almost said an impossibility, among American wo mon. The reason of this is the place whero they wear their garters. No French woman wears her garter below the knee. It is ruinous to the shape of the calf. More than this, it has serious consequences of another kind. Tho prin? cipal vein of tho leg (venasaphtnasbrevis) runs just beneath tho skin until it nearly reaches tho knee, when it sinks beneath the muscles. Now, if this is restricted at its largest part by a garter, the blood is checked in its return to the heart, the feet are easily chilled and more liable to dis? ease, the other veins of tho legs arc swol? len into hard, blue knots, become varicose, as it is tailed, and often break, forming obstinate ulcers. This is a picture which a physician sees nearly every day. With the garter fastened above the knee, all this pain and deformity is avoided, but it is still better to wear no garter at all, and suspend the stocking by tapes to a belt around tho waist. In this case, however, a well fitting stocking is needed. Things to be Settled.?Come now, boj-s, let us settle ono or two things as absolute certainties when you start in lifo : Ho who never drinks, novor will bo drunk. That's so isn't it? He who some? times drinks, may be. Ho who never goes into a gambling sa? loon, never will gamble; and he who never gambles, never loses; but Re who goes to observe, may gamble, and he who gambles will surely lose. In all theso, is it not best not to begin ? Bowaro of innocent beginnings in wrong ways, and remember the old text: "Thero is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but tho end thereof are tho ways of death."?Hearth anil Home. ? A man in Michigan swapped his wifo for a horse. We'll bet that something was wrong with that horse, or its owner would never have fooled it away in that manner. ? Hard work is the grand secret of success. Nothing but rags and poverty can come of idleness. Elbow grease is the only staff to make gold with. No sweat no sweet. He who would have the crow's eggs must climb tho tree. Every man must build up his own fortune now a-days. Shirt sleeves rolled up lead on to tho best broadcloth ; and ho who is not ashamed of the apron will soon be able to do without it. "Diligence is the mother of gootl luck," as poor Richard says ; but "idleness is the devil's bolster," as John Ploughman says. ? A lady went into a dry goods, store in a neighboring city and inquired for "bleached cloth." Several pieces of sheet? ing wero offered for inspection, but failed to suit. "Perhaps,"*'said the lady, "if I should tell you what I want it lor, you would know what to give me. It is to bo used for reposing robes." Tho man threw down another piecCj hastily sum? moned another clerk, and rapidly vanish? ed in the distance. ? Some music teacher once wrote that "the art of playing a violin requires the nicest perception and the most sensibility of any art in the known world." Upon which an editor comments in the follow? ing manner : "The art of publishing a newspaper, and making it pay, and at the same time making it please everybody, beats fidlin' higher than a kite." ? A Portuguese youth, with three legs, four feet, and twenty toes, is Qn exhibi? tion in London. Two of tho legs are per? fectly formed, but the third is bent up? ward from the knee-joint, and has two rather imperfectly formed feet. The young man is twenty-two years old, very intelligent, and speaks several languages. ? Mrs. Stanton's advice about choosing a wife is: "Always look for a girl with good teeth, for the teeth are a sample of every bone in the fair one's body." Judged by this rulo, there arc precious few girls of the period with sound bones in their bodies, unless it holds good with reference to false teeth. ? Miss Julia Ilubbard, tho "transcri? bing clerk'' of the Wisconsin Legislature, is young, handsome and well educated.? A bashful j'oung member called her the "transporting clerk," in his confusion, the other day, and was immediately called to order by all the other unmarried mem? bers. ? A vagrant called at a house on Sun? day, and begged for some cider. The la? dy refused to give him any, and he re? minded her of tho oft-quoted remark, that sho "might entertain an angel unawares." "Yes," said she, "hut angels don't go about drinking cider on Sundays." ? "Biddy," said a lady to her servant, "I wish 3'ou would step over and see how old Mrs. Jones is this morning." In a few minutes Biddy returned with tho in? formation that Mrs. Jonos was just seven? ty-two years, seven months and two days old. ? A horrid man expresses the opinion that giving the ballot to women will not amount to much, for none of them will ad? mit that they are old enough to vote until they arc too old to take any interest in politics. Oh, the wretch ! ? Some of the newspapers have "a word for the loafer, on the ground that he has nothing to do with the rise in bread stuffs; and, above all, that he seeks to do no man's work, or deprive his fellow being of his situation." ? Habit is like the dropping of water upon a rock?it wears into the life, and the marks it makes can never bo effaced without tho chisel and hammer of self-de? nial and self-discipline. ? The greatest luxury of wealth is one the rich but .little avail themselves of? the pleasure of making tho poor happy. ? Few persons have sufficient wisdom to prefer censure which is useful to them, to praise which deceives them. DENTISTRY! DENTISTRY! DR. J. W. GURLEY, Graduate of Pennsylvania Deutal College, WOULD roost re? spectfully call tho attention of his pa? trons and the public (generally to the fact ihat he has just re? ceived a large stock of Dental Material, especially Artificial Teeth, thus enabling him to select such shades and sizes only as will correspond with complexion and features of the patient.
