What are the Fiuriners Thinklug; About?
The following from the Raleigh (N. G.)/tel?
egram deserves a careful reading from the
farmers of the South generally, and is as ap?
plicable to every ^State. .The impolicy of
raising all cotton, and no corn and meat, must
be done away with, before prosperity and inde?
pendence will gladden the hearts of our peo?
ple: ..
Another planting season fa approaching, and
just emerging, as our planters art), from a har?
vest season of pecuniary disaster, especially in
those sections where one idea in agriculture
has prevailed, we are interested in knowing
what train of thought our planting friends?
the hardy eons of the soil?are pursuing.
Will the lords of a country unsurpassed in
the wealth of its.soil, magnificence of climate,
and its varied productions, permit the many
disasters attending their fuming operations
ever since the war to repeat themselves again,
and forever go on repeating, when the remedy
of mixed husbandry is at hand, and tho very
earth in its exhaustion} crying out for food and'
rest
We assert our intimate belief; founded, as aa
opinion, upon observation, and the experience
of the last six years, that there is no prosperity
for North Carolina, until her people produce
their own moat and bread. A system of far?
ming that shall give us meat and bread of our
own in abundance, will bring prosperity and
happiness to the State, and work an improve?
ment in public and private morals. The pro?
duction of grain begets stock raising, which, in
turn furnishes ready facilities for improving
the soil, outside of the benefits of rotation,
which 'a inseparable from a system of mixed
? husbandry.
Then follows manufacturing and mechanical
enterprises of every description, for mechanics
swarm to communities with well filled barns
and smoke houses, happy and industrious un?
der the encouragement of peace and plenty.
Without the production of a pound of cotton,
the people of North'Carolina could become the
most independent and prosperous in the world;
and when they shall so arrange their system as
to make the cotton crop a surplus and indepen?
dent production, there will be no estimating
their prosperity. Then will the hills and val?
leys be alivo with the plow, loom and anvil;
the clank of machinery, and the busy hum of
spindles will never cease along our creeks and
rivers, and the saw and hammer shall awake
the dull monotony of "the deserted village."
We address ourselves to the intelligent and
public spirit of the farming community. ' Aye,
we appeal to the self-interest of every farmer
of North Carolina.

Important Historical Summary.?The
Philadelphia Ledger has the following:
The Southern States, ten years ago, withdrew
from tho Union by the action of their repre?
sentatives in Congress, in tho following order:
South Carolina, 1860, December 20th; Missis?
sippi, 1*51, January 9th; Florida, January
10th ; Alabama, January 11th; Georgia, Jan?
uary ISth ; Louisiana, January 26th; Texas,
February 1st; Arkansas, March 22d; Vir?
ginia, April 17th; Tennessee, May 6th; North
Carolina, May 20th. The order in which they
were re-admitted is as follows: Tennessee,
1866, December 3d; Arkansas, 1868, June 28d ;
Florida, 1868, July 1st; Louisiana, 1868, July
18; South Carolina, 186S, July 20; North Car?
olina, 186S, July 20; Alabama, 1868, July 22 ;
Virginia, 1870, February 1st; Mississippi, 1870,
February 23; Texas, 1870, March 30th, and
Georgia, 1871, February 13th. From these
dates it will appear that Tennussee was not
represented in Congress for five years, six
months and eleven days; North Carolina for
seven years and two months; Arkansas for
seven years, three months and one day; Flori?
da for seven years five months and twenty-one
days; Louisiana for seven years, five months
and twenty-two days; Alabama for seven years, i
six months and eleven days; South Carolina
for seven years and seven months; Virginia
for eight years, nine months and fourteen days;
Mississippi for uine years, one month and four?
teen days ; Toxas for nine years and two
months, and Georgia for ten years and twenty- <
five days. Excluding Tennessee, which jnay
be considered as a loyal State, the average time
during which the remaining ten States were
unrepresented was eight years and two months.
Including Tennessee the average time wasi
seven years and eleven months.
Rich Without Money.?-Maty a man is*
rich without money. Thousands of men with
nothing in the pocket and thousands with not
even a pocket, are ricn. A man born with a
good, sound constitution, a good stomach, a
food heart, and good limbs, and a pretty good
ead-piece, is rich. Good bones are better than
Sid; tough muscles than silver, and nerves
at flash fire and carry energy to every funct?
ion are better than houses or lands.
It is better than landed estate to have had
the right kind of father and mother.
Good breeds and bad breeds exist among men
as really as among herds and horses. Educa?
tion may do.much to check evil tendencies, or
to develop good ones; but it is a great thing to
inherit the right proportion of faculties to start
with.
The man is rich who has & good disposition
?who is naturally kind,patient, cheerful, hope?
ful ; and who has a flavor of wit and fun in his
disposition. The hardest thing to get along
with in this life, is a man's own self. A cross,
selfish fellow, a desponding and complaining
fellow?a timid, care burdened man?these are
all born deformed on the inside. Their feet
may not limp,, but their thoughts do.
-*
Ax Extinct Family.?It is a curious fact
that there are no known descendants of Chris?
topher Columbus. He had two sons, one of
whom, Don Diego, rose to the distinction of an
Admiral, and the other Fernando was a scholar.
Fernando was a great traveler. H? not only
thrice visited America, but subsequently tra?
versed the whole of Europe, ana every ac?
cessible portion of Asia ana Africa. He ap?
pears to have been a profound scholar and a
thoroughly good man. In his will he stipula?
ted that his library, containing twenty thous?
and volumes, which he gave to the Cathedral
of Seville, should be free to the peoplo, and it
is to this day. From books in this collection
the lato Washington Irving obtained a consid?
erable portiou of the information on which his
"Life of Columbus" was found. The following
quaint epitaph, almost obliterated by time, ap?
pears on the tablet which marks the site of his
tomb : "What doth it profit to have sprinkled
the wholo world with my sweat ; to have three
time3 crossed the New World discovered by my
father; to have embellished the shores of tran?
quil Guf.tlalquiver, and preferred by simple
tastes rather than riches, or that I have assem?
bled around the divinities from the source of
Castalia, and offer to thee the riches gathered
by Ptolemy, if passing in Bilence over this stone,
thou shouldst fail to address a single salutation
to my father's memory." .

? During the trial of a famous divorce caso,
now pending iu Philadelphia, one of the law?
yers in hi? argument said something about a wit?
ness named Kelly, when that individual sung
out, "You're a liar." Kelly was arrainged for
contempt of court, until his counsel ingeniously j
explained that Kelly meant no , contempt of
court, bu1: that he was so carried away by the
sweet dulcet strains of Mr. Cassidy's voice, that
he involuntary exclaimed: "You're a -lyre,"
thereby intending to compare Mr. Cassidy to
that delightful Irish musical instrument ?

Keep'Yojrr Mouth Shut.
, A few years ago,!Geosge Oatlin wrote a paui*
phlet, which was published in England, and is
> now being translated in most otherTSiiropean
languages, on the importance of breatning
through the nose, in order to preserve health.
He has majKipis^rvtrtibns jMP-this subject, first
among c^Jrteid'iiali?nirf finding that individu?
als who habitually keep their mouths, open are
never very healthy or long lived. Afterward,
he obsorved the same thing during a sojourn of
majmyesrs anjoiig tho Indians of North- and
South America; and he has come to the con?
clusion that there exists a definite law for
breathing and sleeping, obedience to which
must exercise the most beneficial influence on
the well-being of the human race, and which
cannot be too strongly insisted upon. Mothers,
and all others who have children to educate,
should be persuaded of its great importance,
that they may inculcate upon their children
and pupils the golden lesson contained in these
four words, "Keep your mouth shut." Hither?
to this advice has been considered only as a
moral injunction, to restrain children from
talking too much,; but Catlin prescribes it lite?
rally, and insists that air should only pass in
or out of the lungs by the nosoj except in the
act of (-peaking or singing. He is so enthusi?
astic concerning the great value of this simple
hygien ic recipe that he eloses the book with
the following remarks: "If I had a million of
dollars to spend for a charitable purpose, sur?
passing- all other! in value. I would spend it to
print four millions of my books, and distribute
them among four million mothers, rich as well
as poor. I would not obtain therefor any mon?
ument nor decoration of nobility; but I would,
which is much better, have obtained the pecu?
liarly joyful satisfaction that I had left poster?
ity a legacy of much higher value than money
ever can have."
There is no doubt that the advice is good.
The air, by being inhaled through the nose, is
more perfectly freed from dust, and in winter
reaches the. lungs in a warmer condition than
when inhaled by the mouth, (which is of great
importance to people with weak, lungs.) It
keeps the lower forward portion of the brain
cool, when inhaled by the nose ; while it dries
the saliva, and thus interferes with digestion,
when inhaled by the mouth; and those who
Bleep with their mouths shut will not have that
dry, unpleasant taste when they awake in the
morning, and are less subject to that nocturnal
social nuisance?snoring.
There are a few other points of minor impor?
tance, but worth mentioning. A habitually
open mouth gives a most sl;upid expression to
any face, and, usually, only the ignorant class?
es have this habit; while the more refined gen?
erally possess the opposite habit, and keep
their.mouths instinctively shut.
. -;However;:in regard to the theory that life is
shortened by the habit of breathing through
?the mouth/ we are satisfied that it depends on
another cause, namely, a defect in the primary
organization of the individual. The channels
of the nose are often not left wide enough to
admit sufficient air for respiration; so that the
individual is compelled to respire at least a
portion of it through the mouth. It is a fact
known by connoisseurs of horses, that when
their nostrils are too narrow they cannot stand
much fatigue, are short-winded, never live long,
and soon break down. But, as the horse can?
not breathe through his mouth at all, the de?
fect iu question is more dangerous to him than
to man, and often fatal when he is over-worked.
In many instances, however, we feel confi?
dent that breathing through the mouth is a
matter of necessity, at least in part; but though
the defect in the construction of the breathing
passages cannot be overcome by an effort of the
will, it "may still mitigate the evil.?Manufac?
turer andBuilder.
Just Suttjed foe a, La*v7YER.?One of our
smart Boston lawyers was surprised, the other
day, by an old lady entering his office leading
I a vicious looking vouth. She said:
"Squire. I called to see if you would like to
take this Soy and make a lawyer of him."
"The boy appears rather young, Madam,"
said the lawyer. "How old is he."
"Seven years, sir."
"He is too youug, decidedly too young. Have
you no older bovs ?"
"Oh, ye3 sir, I have several; but we have con?
cluded to make farmers of the others. I told
'my old man I thought this little fellow would
make a first rate lawyer, and so I called to see
if you would take him."
"No madam; he is too young yet to com
,mence the study of the profession. But why
do you think this boy any better calculated for
a lawyer than your other sons?"
"Why, you see, sir, he is just seven years old
to-day; when he was only five, he'd lie like all
natur; when he got to be six, he was tasty and
impudent as any critter could be; and now he'll'
. steal every tl?ng he can lay his hands on?"
f "Never Mind the Old Lady."?As a
war "incident." how is this ? During the trou?
bles, a young Confederate miss was passing
through one of the hospitals, when it was re?
marked that a lieutenant had died that morn
in?
I - Oh, where is he ? Let me see him I Let
me kiss him for his mother I" exclaimed tho
'maiden.
I ^ ThpT attendant led her into an adjoining
t ward, when, discovering Lieutenant H. lying
fast asleep on his hospital couch, and to nave
a little ran, he pointed him out to the girl.
She sprang forward, and bending over him,
said: *
"Oh, you dear lieutenant, let me kiss you for
your mother P'
What was her surprise when the awakened
"corpse" ardently clasped her in his arms, re?
turned the salute, and exclaimed: ,
"Never mind the old lady, miss, go it on
your own account. I haven't the slightest ob?
jection."
Selecting Seed Corn.?A farmer states
that, in the spring of 1868, he planted five rows
of corn with seed taken from three inches be?
low the top of the ear, rejecting the imperfect
grains at the extreme point; then five rows,
with seed taken from the middle and base of
the ear, rejecting the imperfect grains at the
butt. Tho result was that the five rows plant?
ed with the seed from tho middle and base of
the ear ripened about two and a half weeks be?
fore the other xows, the corn of the former
better cared, and filled out to the end of the
cob*.
A Touching Incident.?A poor Iittlenews
boy while attempting to jump from a city car,
the other afternoon, fell under the car, and was
fearfully nianglod. As soon as the child could
speak, ho called piteously for his mother, and a
messenger was sent at once to bring her to him.
When the bereaved woman arrivod, she hung
over the dying boy in an agony of grief.
"Mother," whispered he, with a painful ef?
fort, "I sold four newspapers?and?tho money
is fh my pockot."
With tne hand of death upon his brow, the
last thought of tho suffering child was for the
poor, hard-working mother, whose burdens he
was striving to lighten when he lost bis life.
Stemelatinjo the Sick?We do not much
believe in stimulating sick folks, unless it is by
air, sunlight, rest, proper food, and a healthy,
mental state. Many a person sick with fever
or slow, lingering disease, is stimulated out of
the world by beef tea, brandy, champagne, am?
monia, and other nostrums, when he might
have lived by good nursing and nutritious food.
They die of starvation. The blood soon be?
comes impoverished when wholesome food i?*
withheld, and, if in addition, it is loaded with
noxious drugs, its character is greatly changed',
and it becomes quite unfit to yield nourish?
ment to the tissues through which it circulates^

Thi: New Bayonet Election Act.?The
new Bill, which has now passed both Houses of
Congress, called the Enforcement Act, and
which is designed to exceed in effectiveness as
a piece of election machinery that of tho last
session, will, it is to be presumed, says the Bal?
timore Sun, become law by the. favor, of the
President. We have heretofore given a pretty
full and accurate exhibit of its astonishing pro?
visions, under which penalties of fine ana im?
prisonment are imposed regarding the registra?
tion of voters, which is virtually to be taken
possession of by the Federal officials, and also
the conduct of the elections?the operation of
the Act to be no longer limited to cities and
towns or 20,000 inhabitants, if two citizens ask
for its application in places of lesser note. For
any supposed interference or non-submission of
State to Federal officers in these mattere, pri?
marily undertaken by the State itself, parties
are subject to be arrested without warrant by
! the United States Marshal or his Deputies, and
provision is made for the transfer of any suit
Drought by an aggrieved citizen against a Fed?
eral officer from a State Court to a United
States Circuit Court, and to render the judg?
ment of a IState Court in such a case null and
void.
If this ? not degrading and debasing the
States wantonly and malignantly, it is difficult
to conceive what it is. The act of the last ses?
sion, if we mistake not, reacted injuriously up?
on the dominant political party in the country
which passed it, ostensibly for the purpose of
securing the purity of elections. It was for
certain localities only, at that time?New York
city, more especially, it was said?but now it
seems corruption is everywhere. It has grown
so rapidly that the law must be so framed as to
be brought to bear at will in all quarters, and
be made more stringent and unsparing than be?
fore. It is difficult to believe that it will not,
instead of promoting the party ends of those
who passed it, bring indignant rebuke towards
them from among the people. In this State
the Republicans reaped only evil and loss from
the law as it stood at the last election, and it
can do them no good, it is believed, within the
borders of Maryland hereafter.
Daniel Webster's Opinion of Ben But?
ler,?For several years Butler was a blaring
Democrat. He was a delegate to all national
conventions, aud made himself conspicuous by
his servile devotion to the slaveholding inter?
est. At tho trial of Dr. Webster, Butler at?
tracted some notice, and a gentleman who had
met him in conversation and taken a strong
aversion to him, asked Daniel Webster if he
knew the man Butler, and what there was of
him. "I have seon him, sir," was the reply.
"He is what we call a sharp practitioner. A
pert, pushing lawyer, superficially educated,
with the impudence of the devil, and a con?
science to match." "Such a man might be
dangerous. Is he likely to attain a position in
which he can do much mischief V : "No, sir?
no danger of that. Ho is certain to be hung
before he reaches a position of that kind."?Al?

How to Cook Old Fowls.?For the possi?
ble benefit to some other young housekeepers,
I wish to tell them how to cook an old chicken.
Prepare as for roasting, then boil three hours
in a covered pot, with one quart of water, to
which add two tablespoonfuls of vinegar; after
which put into a pan in a hot oven for about
one hour, to brown. The liquor iu the pot to
be prepared for gravy; should the water boil
away too much, more should be added. The
result is, the meat is as tender as young chick?
en, and some think richer and better.
"No Night There."?A little boy named
Knight, who recently entered tho mission
school at New London, was told by the teachers
that he must be a good boy, and when he died
he would go to heaven. The little boy was well
Sleased with the best kind of a bag. The next
unday he appeared in his place, looking sor?
rowful ; and the teacher asked him if he had
been a good boy. "Yes, I've tried to be good;
but it's no use. The boys say I can't go to
heaven if I am ever so good." "Why do the
boys say that ?" asked the teacher. "They say
there'll be no night there," replied tho boy.

? At the recent election in Leesburg, Ohio,

? A marriage lately announced in a Western
paper reads curiously enough. It was to this

by Rev. A. M. Lyon, John P. Elis,. Esq., all of

hand on this interesting occasion. John, how?

? A youug lady observed of a young man'
that his face has a at range fascination for her,
because it looks bo well at a funeral. This re?
calls an orginal recommendation of a young
physican who was supposed to be "keepin' com?
pany"'with a young lady. The matronly friend
of the latter haying praised the young man
from all points of view, returned one day from
the death-bed of a friend at which the physi?
can had been present. She eulogized the living
folly as much as the dead man, and finally
turning to the girl as if she had reached the ne
plus ultra of enthusiasm, she said: "Jane, he's
the handiest man I ever see fixin' round a
corpse."
? ? A contemporary thinks Bulwer assumed a
fearful responsibility without being aware of it
when he wrote the famous sentence in regard
to the pen being mightier than the sword, in?
asmuch as it has been the means of patting the
pen in the hands of very many silly people,
who are led to imagine themselves peers of
all mankind, bccaua they are capable of string?
ing together a few sentences of indifferent En?
glish. But most likely these people never read
the sentence in full: "Beneath the sway of men
entirely great, the pen is mightier than the
sword"?-a vast difference, and one calculated
to take the conceit out of the "silly people"
aforesaid. . .
