Letter from John Plowkandles. premiums at state faies. Mb. Editob?The time is at hand when the Executive Committees of the various State Ag? ricultural Societies will perfect and publish their premium lists for the fairs to be held in the coming fall. Before they do so, and I hope I am still in time, I want to "make a few re? marks," which may reach these, gentlemen through your columns. First and foremost in the interest of agricul? ture, I protest earnestly against all oners of premiums for horse-races?whether trotting, pacing or running?and ask that all the money Intended for horses be given to the best plow horse, the best wagou-norse, the best brood? mare for farm purposes, etc., excluding com? pletely racing and "fast going" of all kinds, and including only that which conduces di? rectly to progressive farming. I am not of opinion by any means., nor do I wish to be un? derstood, that we should neglect to improve our breed of horses, or that a good farm norse is necessarily a scrub. But, under the thin disguise of a desire to improve the breed of horses, I do not wish to see the money collected to benefit agriculture squandered among jock? eys and professional gamblers, while the vital interests of agriculture are neglected, or en? couraged by a prize of a couple of dollars or a copper medal. I do not again want to see fif? teen hundred dollars carried away by the fast horses of the flash-men of the turf, while the producers of clover and grass crops receive prizes which do not pay the expense of sending the samples to the fair. I do not want any side-shows of any sort, neither races, balloons, thimble-rig tables, or any similar exhibition; but I do want an agri? cultural fair, where everything which can ben? efit agriculture and enlighten the agriculturist will be exhibited and encouraged, and where every dollartthat is iment will be devoted di? rectly and exclusively to this end. In the Northern States and in Europe, where the' fairs are got up with an honest desire to fulfill their avowed purpose?agricultural im? provement?horse-raciug is never permitted at a fair, for the reasons?first, that it has nothing whatever to do with agriculture; and second^ that it has a demoralizing and pernicious ten? dency, and should not therefore be counten? anced by societies whose aim it is to improve and elevate the morals of the people. If our agricultural societies are compelled, in order to get up a "big show." to beg the money for their premium lists from towns and cities, giving Alie corporate authorities of these towns the right "to get back their money" by all" sorts of side-shows, which will collect a large.crowd, then let them be content with lit? tle shows which they can manage and control themselves, and in which the agricultural classes will feel that it is their show, where all that pertains to their interests and vocation are provided for and considered. Let the Execu? tive Committees cut their coat according to their cloth, and not attempt what they cannot perform without abandoning the purpose which they pretend to promote. Look back, Mr. Editor, over the preminm lists of our lairs for the last two or threo years, and see the proportion of money expended in premiums for horses, and that expended for the encouragement of the production of the small grains, clover, the grasses, and other forage crops; and can any man honestly pretend that the owner of Nannie Douglas, running round a mile track in 1:44, with a little negro on her back, deserves a higher prize at an agricultural mir than the man who has prodnced unusually fine crops of grain and forage plants, or has discovered an improved method of raising them ? Yet the one receives $500 for the racer, and the other $5 or $10 for his clover or his Bay! "But you will have no show at all, notirowd. and no money if you do hot have racing, ana owners of race-horses will not bring their horses unless you give good big purses; there? fore if you want to get the money to give the agricultural prizes you must have the races and the monkey shows; they are the main thing." So say the apologists of this system, and our Executive Committees consent to do the "evil that good may come." ^ I deny that the reasoning is true. I insist on it that if our felrs were purely agricultural exhibitions, the planters and farmers of the country who now stay at"ay, having no desire to see horse-races, would attend, and derive and impart knowledge useful to their great interests. The men who waut to buy and sell pools, and "bet their money on the bobtail nag," would stay away, because they find no amusement or profit in a large yield of wheat, clover or orchard grass, a fine plow, a reaper, cultivator, or anything else which promotes agriculture. But we could well spare their presence, and could console ourselves by the increased attendance of the good farmers and their families, who would attend a show exclusively their own. How can I our societies make the farmer believe that they are anxious to promote the farming interests when they offer $5 to the man who produces the largest yield of any food crop?say turnips ?and offers $500 to the jockey who hns tne fastest race-horse? Think of the crowds you have met at these racing fairs. How many of them did you recognize as farmers ? When the Slowing match and the running race came oil', ow many out of the crowd looked at the one and how many at the other? Are we to be content if our fairs are a big frolic, largely at? tended and yielding large receipts, without any or but secondary reference to tue object which it is pretended we have in view? Mr. Editor, I am for the farmers, first, last and all the time. I know how they feel on this subject, and how disappointed and dis? gusted they have been by many of our fairs, where they had every reason to feel that they were playing second fiddle to a race-course. I don't design to preach a sermon against racing, though I have very decided convictions on the subject, but I do insist that it has noth? ing to do with agriculture, that it should not be mixed up with it, and that it should not be al? lowed to swallow up money ostensibly given to encourage agricultural improvement. Let the agricultnral societies have the nerve to do right, and not allow themselves *o be co? erced into a false position. If they cannot get money for big premiums, let them offer small ones, and they will soon find their reward in the assertion of a true principle, and in the in? auguration of a system which will really ad? vance the agricultural interests of our people. Respectfully, yours, John Plowkandles. ? A Texan tells the story of lost opportuni? ties : "Now, you see," said ho, "land was cheap enough at one time in Texas. I have seen the day when I could have bought a square league of land, covered with fine grass and timber, for a pair of boots." "And why didn't you buy it?" awkedhis companion, "Didn't have the boots/' said the Texan. i James Gordon Bennett. Toward sundown of Saturday night, when millions of laborers were closing the work of the week, one of the most untiring working men of the age finished his life and his labor together. James Gordon Bennett had known little of the joy of life except that which conies of unremitting and successful work. He had carried the great enterprise and purpose of his existence forward to the farthest point he could expect to attain. There seemed little left which was attractive to him in the world when this end was clearly reached. In the busiest and most intensely vital city of the earth he had led a life as secluded and solitary as that of any monk of the Thebaid. There seems a f>athetic fitness in the fact that the end of a ife so lonely should be passed in solitude, with the breadth of the ocean between him and the children whom he idolized and the wife of whom he was so proud and fond. He had made his arrangements to pass the Summer with them in Europe, but his suddenly failing health compelled him, too late, to recall them. In his life he had sacrificed social friendships and intimacies to his inexorable purpose, and in death the sport of destiny deprived him of the ministrations of tho3e who were dearest to him. The great machine he built through so mauy toilsome years works on without chang? ing a pulsation at his departure. At the head of its columns still stands the familiar an? nouncement, "James Gordon Bennett, Propri? etor," though the first of the name is in his coffin, and the second is at sea, not aware of the altered meaning in the standing types. His heirs will give to his grave all the dignity and respect which may lie in massive and cost? ly marble; but his journal is his true monu? ment. It is easy to build a sepulchre of any form, with any meaning you please. Even the epi? taph is a matter depending on your own taste or fancy, or that of a clever friend. But noth? ing can change or falsify the record of a pub? lic life, nor make the monument reared by a man's life-long labor anything but a true cri? terion of his character and test of his value. Mr. Bennett will not be judged in future bv what he was, but by what he accomplished. The passions, the hates, the controversies of the past, will all fade away from memory in another generation. But the Herald will re? main the permanent and visible proof of what there was in the heart aud the intellect of its founder. Viewing his life from this point of view, it was completely successful. He had no other aim than to make a great and lucrative news Eaper. In his days of poverty and privation, e boasted with gay defiance that, in spite of all the malice of his enenr'e;, he would one day make the Herald produce $30,000 annually. He probably thought this prophecy exaggera? ted, but he lived to see it dwindled into absurd? ity, by its tenfold accomplishment. He attain? ed this great result by no trick, no luck, no accident. There was never seen a more logi? cal and necessary issue of a given course of action. He was a man of extraordinary capac? ity. He has written so little of late years that elderly people have forgotten and young peo? ple have never known that no journalist in the country excelled him iu the power of comment? ing upon current events in the way most accep? table to a large majority of readers. He had a good temper and a geniality which were pure? ly professionale, having no relations whatever to his toilsome and somber life. At a time when drunkenness was a rule among people of his craft, ho was as frugal and abstemious as an Arab. An iron constitution enabled him to do the work of three ordinary men, without either fever or fatigue. To these qualifications was added a gift which is common enough now, but which at the time he began his career was so rare that it partook of the exceptional quality of genius. He understood the value of news. He may almost be said to be the inven? tor of journalism in its latest and highest de? velopment as a means of disseminating all accessible contemporaneous intelligence. He was the first journalist who went to meet the news half wav. This was the sole secret of .his success. All the sensations, scandals, and fierce wranglings of his earlier years did very little to advance or retard the march of his great newspaper. When he began that long and desperate battle with a hostile fate in the dark Wal 1-st. cellar, the victory was assured to him beforehand by his inexhaustible energy and his infallible journalistic instinct. By adhering to certain true principles of journalism, he made the greatest material, that is to say, pecuniary success, in that profession which the world has yet seen. This is perhaps j 1 as much in the way of example as the world i has any right to expect from any one man. Beyond this, it certainly receives nothing more than warning from the founder of the Herald. He attempted no more than the establishment of a newspaper. Others have followed him in the same path with equal success, and now the only journalism which looks to the future for a constantly widening sphere of power and influ? ence is that which aims not only to gather and edit each day the whole world's history for the preceding day, but, so far as possible, in audi? tion, to lead aud train the honest thought of the world. This is an immense plan, impossi? ble to be accomplished perfectly oy the present resources of any journal. Even to approach its fulfillment will require all the energy, all i the sagacity, all the varied ability, all the per i sonal probity of the great journalist who died on Saturday, together with a public conscience, a personal earnestness, a freedom from private ends, and a respect for the dignity of unman nature, which ho considered outside of the sphere of journalism.?New Nork Tribune. A Dutchman on the Tobacco Question. ?A very beautiful character has, itBecms, late? ly passed away in Holland. Mr. Klaes, known by the name of the King of Smokers, died the other day near Rotterdam. Mr. Klaes had, ac? cording to the Belgian, amassed a large for? tune in the linen trade, and one portion of a i mansion he had erected in Rotterdam was de? voted to the arraugement of a collection of pipes, according to their nationality and chro? nological order. By his will, which he execu? ted shortly before his death, he directed that all the smokers of the country should be invi? ted to his funeral, and that each should be pre? sented with ten pounds of tobacco and two Dutch pipes, of the newest fashion, on which should be engraved the name, arms, and date of the decease of the testator. His relatives, friends and funeral guests were strictly enjoined to keep their pipes alight during the funeral ceremony, and afterwards to empty the ashes out of their pipes on the coffin. The poor of the neighborhood who attend to his last wishes were to receive annually on the anniversary of his death ten pounds of tobacco and a small cask of good beer. He further directed that his oak coffin should be lined with the cedar of his old Havana cigar boxes, and that a box of French capornl and a packet of old Dutch tobacco should bo placed at the foot of his coffin. His favorite pipe was to be placed by his side, with a box of matches, a flint and steel, and sonic tiuder?for, as he truly said, there is no knowing what might happen. It has been calculated that the de? ceased gentleman, during his SO years of life, smoked more than four tons of tobacco and drank about 500,000 quarts of beer. It is sad to reflect that one evidently possessed of such noble qualities should have been thus prema? turely cut off at the early age of eighty, doubt? less owing to his unfortunate indulgence in a pernicious habit. His fate should be a warning to all smokers. ? "Madam, a great many persons were dis? turbed at the concert last night by the crying of your baby." "Well, I do wouder such "peo? ple will go to concerts." ? In an advertisement by a railroad compa? ny of some unclaimed goods, the letter "1" dropped from the word "lawful," and it reads now: "People to whom these packages are di? rected are requested to come forwaru aud pay the awflll charges on the same,'* j Orer and Over Again. Over and over again, No matter which way I turn, I always lind in the Book of Lifo Somo lesson I have to learn. I must take my turn at the mill, I must grincl out the golden grain, I must work at my task with a resolute will Over and over again. We cannot measure the need Of even the tiniest llower, Nor check the How of the golden sands That rim through a single hour. But the morning dews must fall, And the sun and the summer rain Must rlo their part, and perform it all Over and over ugain. Over and over again The brook through the meadow flows, And over and over again The ponderous mill-wheel goes. Onco doing will not sullice, Though doing be not in vain; And a blessing, failing us once or twice, May come if we try again. The path that has once been trod Is never so rough to the feet; And the lesson wo once have learned la never so hard to repeat. Though sorrowful tears may fall, And the heart to its depth bo drive*. With storm and tempest, we need them all To rendor us meet for heavon. Why I)o We Use Salt ? The use of common salt in our food, and in that of the lower animals, is not a mere matter of choice, or of taste. It is a necessary condi? tion of animal existence. Hence, it is a wise provision that, like that equally indispensable substance, water, salt is to be found all over the globe; existing, especially, in large pro? portion in the waters of great oceans as well as on the land, in solid strata of rock salt, and dissolved in greater or less quantity in the wa? ter of its springs. Indeed, it is so universally present that it is seldom we have an opportunity of observing the effects of its complete deprivation upon animal health or life. But, according to War? den, in the northern districts of Brazil where, doubtless, the soluble salts of the elevated land have long since been washed into the ocean fin the numerous tributaries of the Amazon, the domestic animals die, if not periodically sup? plied with salt. The central elevated regions of Southern Africa, and portions of Central Southern Asia exhibit the same condition, and here also the effects of a deficiency of salt on the animal economy may be studied. Mungo Park long ago informed us that in the interior of Africa salt was sometimes bought with its weight in gold, and that his own longing for this substance, after being subjected to a strict vegetable diet for some time, could not be expressed in words. In? deed, we are told by other travelers that in several parts of Africa men were bartered for salt, and a brother would sell his sister, for a slave, to obtain this much coveted substance. Dr. David Livingston, in his recent account of his explorations in South Africa, corrobo? rates the# account of Mungo Park, and states that not'only did he experience a great long? ing for salt, or animal food, after having been restricted for a long time to an exclusive vege? table diet, but that the digestive powers were also always impaired. Dyspepsia thus induced, was easily cured by the U3e of animal food; while, even milk or eggs, always had a marked salty taste to the person unused to that diet; but it could be as effectually relieved sometimes by the use of salt alone. Knowing how important salt and its elemen? tary constituents are to the digestion and as? similation of food, the question naturally arises, arc not many cases of dyspepsia occa? sioned by a too scanty use of salt with the food, and may not many cases be relieved as were those under the observation of Dr. Liv? ingston, by a more free use of that salubrious article ? . The salty taste of animal food is easily ex? plained by the fact, often demonstrated by chemical analysis, that all animal bodies, as well as the solid and fluid parts of them, as well as all animal secretions and excretions, contain common salt. When the soft parts of the animal body are incinerated, common salt is found to form more than one-half of the weight of the ash'. The same is the case with the ashes of the blood, which, like the milk and the white of the egg, not only always con? tains this substance as a necessary ingredient, but also a certain constant proportion of car? bonate of soda, which is doubtless derived from the decomposition of the salt. It is, hence, to be easily understood why carnivorous animals and persons who live on an animal diet, are not as much dependent on the habitual use of salt with their food, as those confined to a strictly vegetable regimen. It is especially in the hcrbivious animals of the interior that this necessity is most appa? rent?those living near the sea finding usually enough salt in the herbage and water to supply their wants. But in the interior the craviag for salt appears to be instinctive; leading the wild animals hundreds of miles through the cane-brake, in former times, to the distant salt? licks, and periodically bringing our grazing animals, at the call of the grazer to receive with eager demonstrations their weekly dole of salt. For many reasons, then, is salt indispensable to animals, and as it is constantly discharged from their bodies, in their fluid excretions es Eccially, a regular supply of it is necessary to ealth and even existence, when the food and water do not naturally contain as much of it as is habitually discharged. Thus, as was ascertained by experiments on fattening oxen by Boussingaiilt, while the ad? dition of salt to their food did not actually in? crease the quantity of flesh or fat produced, those which were deprived of it showed a less healthy skin, a lower condition of health, and would command only a lower price in the mar? ket, than those which received salt in addition to that naturally contained in their fodder. It is not a direct producer of flesh, but, being ne cessary to the animal economy, its habitual use conduces to that healthy and vigorous con? dition which is indispensable to profit. ? Commodore Green, of Savannah, exten? ded hospitalities to the delegates of an sigricul tural convention. As one member was careful? ly examining the large and beautiful collection of statuary which adorns the palatial residence, Mr. Green?who, it seems, was everywhere, and with everybody?tapped him on the shoulder and said : "Ah ! Mr.-, I see you are an ad? mirer of the beautiful. Would you like to in? spect some of the fine arts ?" "Well," said the delegate, as he deposited a well-masticated cud of Virginia weed outside the window, "I don't care if 1 do, as I am a little dry 1" ? A correspondent of the SivnnnMh, (Ga.,) Republican writes as follows oi lh< wonderful Wakulla Spring in Florida: "One of Lhe greatest natural curiosities in the South is lhe Wakulla Spring, which is the source of a beau? tiful river of the same name. The spring is between four and five hundred feet in diameter, and on a bright and calm day, to pass over in a boat, you feel as though you were suspended in mid air, the water being so limpid and trans? parent. At the depth of one hundred and six? ty feet, a dime can be as distinctly seen as though it were at your feet. On gazing into the depths of this wonderful spring, it shows all the prismatic hues of the rainbow, and near its bottom can be seen fish of different varieties, crabs, terrapins, and uow and then au alliga? tor." ? Men of the noblest disposition think themselves happiest when others sharo their happiness with them. ? On a gate-post out West is the sign, "Take warniu'.

In olden times June was held to be the most propitious month of the twelve for mar? riages, a happy result being rendered doubly certain if the ceremony was timed so as to take place at the full of the moon. ? "Never be critical upon the ladies," was the maxim of an Irish peer, remarkable for his homage for the sex; "the only way that a true gentleman will ever attempt to look at the faults of a pretty woman is to shut his eyes." ? An inebriated Democrat was dining at the Ives House the other day. "Beef, pork, mut? ton, veal and chicken," said the polite waiter. "I don't care a d?n," was the reply; "anything to beat Grant."?Scdalia Times. ? A fashionable mother's advice to a newly married daughter: "Do not get in the habit of taking your husband with you to evening par? ties-. Nothing is so stupid as a husband at a party, nor so everlasting in the way." ? Articles of silver offered as wedding pres? ents have been voted uot exactly vulgar, but uncultivated and unrefined. Instead of these works of art, statuary and paintings, "some? thing about which a sentiment can be entwin? ed," are henceforth to be the things to proffer to the newly wedded. ? A young man at a wedding in Branford recently, while promenading with a young lady, chanced to approach the officiating clergyman, who, happening to be deaf and supposing them to be the couple he had come to unite, imme? diately married them in spite of their renion steance. They accepted the situation and com? menced housekeeping. ? The Secretary of the Treasury has receiv? ed seventy cents as conscience money from a Virginian and an ex-Confederate soldier. The writer says that after the surrender of Lee, at Appomattox, before he was paroled, he took some musket caps from boxes lying about, which he thinks may have been worth thirty or forty cents. He, therefore, sends seventy cents to cover the principal and interest. THOS. I\ BENSON'. DR. M. L. SIIARrE.
