There is a commend able desire on the part of many planters throughout the cotton States, to improve their breeds of cattle, sheep ana hogs, by the introduction of imported or tho? roughbred animals. Many whom we know, have^gone to considerable expense and trouble to procure valuable breeding animals^ Some propose to raise the pure imported stock alone, and have banished from their enclosures all the common-blooded animals, male and female, of the kincr} to avoid all possibility of deteriora? tion. Others,. and the greater number, have, introduced the pure or thoroughbreds among tfieir common stock, of whatever kind, mean? ing to improve the latter, by crossing with the former. This is the more feasible, and we think the wisest plan to adopt, since our com? mon breeds, whether of cattle, sheep or hogs have all certain good and essential qualities of healthfulness and thrift in our climate, which it is desirable to retain in the grades. Too many of the imported animals of either kind when .bred pure, retrograde in quality, or prove unthrifty in the South, and some degenerate to, or below the level of our common stocks. By crossing the best specimens of our own stocks upon imparted thoroughbreds of desira file quality, we get a progeny that is a great improvement on what we have before had, and is-at the same time at home with us, needing no acclimation, and no risk incurred as to their doing well. We know several stocks of cattle, that have improved by the introduction of pure Durham or Alderney bulle upon good common cows, and the whole stock brought up by careful breeding, to a value four times that of the original stock. Likewise flocks of sheep have been made from inferior, to prime, healthy, heavy fleeced animals, by a few years breeding from the Spanish Merino, or Southdown bucks; herds of .swine of the lean pike-nose, razor back species, to a round, easy fattened, and at the same time healthy, thrifty breed, by mixed breeding of the Essex and Buck shire boars; and. in some cases also by the Chester White boars, though the white breeds of hogs do not equal the black, in our climate. To pursue such a course with the stock on a plantation, involves care and expense!, and sev al years of watchful patience. Those who un? dertake it deserve credit, for they work good to the community, and do it under many difficul? ties. The condition of the stock laws in the Southern States is a great obstacle to contend against, and in some circumstances operates as a bar against the introduction of valuable ani? mals as breeders. Every farm and plantation in the South has its runty bull or two bellow? ing over the open fields?its two or three sandy boar pigs, all nose and saddle bags ard no body on which to breed bacon?its miserable ragged scrimpy, half naked rams; and in addition to these, very often, a marsh bred and ugly poin? ted stallion, or maybe, an equally disgraceful jack. These male animals roam at large, and disseminate their seed throughout all the stock in the pastures, like the seeds of poisonous weeds and thistles. No man's cattle, or hogs, or sheep are free from them, unless closely penned bp. If any one farmer in. a county wishes to improve his own stock, he must fence in his pastures vigorously, with double precau? tions to keep such ramblers as these out, and his own stock in. Any accident of Btorm or wind, or any carelessness with gates or bars may admit such a casualty of mis-bireeding as will destroy all his hopes of keeping his stock pure. There can be no general improvement of onr stock that will reach the country at large, so long as the pastures and road-sides abound in male animals of no blood or value, that are turned loose to defeat every select or careful breeding. The remedy lies in such laws as will compel every man to keep his own stock jn Tiis own pastures, under heavy penalties, with perhaps such a tax on all stallions, bulls, rams and boars, as will make poor breeders not worth the keeping, and thus bring good breed? ers into repute and demand. Certainly there is small inducement now, of security offered to one who would spend several hundred dollars to get good animals for his own herds, and yet incur all the risk of having his plans defeated by rambling, worthless Dreeds that infest the fields and roads of the country.?Banner of the South & Planters' Journal. TaE,CttABGE8 Against Treasures. Pajbk jcr..?The Beaufort .Times, Republican, says: The circular of Treasurer Parker in reference to the appropriation for public schools exone? rates him from blame in not paying out said appropriation. We are glad to see that he has at last'put the responsibility where it properly belongs, and hope he will continue to "rise to ? explain" other matters equally interesting to the people. He is charged with paying money out of the Treasury to defeat impeachment, and to keep out of the penitentiary the thieves in high positions who have plundered tho State and ruined her credit. We ask him to say upon whose order this money was paid, to whom, and in what amounts. We know that Mr. Parker can fasten this corrupt expenditure where it belongs ; therefore we ask nim to do it, as fully and as clear as he does this school appropriation. In addition, he can tell how much money was paid out to pass such infa? mous measures as the validating bill, intended only to shield and protect dishonest officials from the penalty of the law. Let him state the facts boldly and fearlessly, and then the people will see why our schools are closed, our judges unpaid, our benevolent institutions on the charity of individuals, and why the reply of "no money" is given to the creditors that daily besiege the Treasury. The Cotton Tax Cases.?The exact status of tbe bill to refund the internal revenue tax on cotton is the subject of general inquiry from parties interested in its passage. The bill is still pending action before the Ways and Means Committee of the House, and will bo re? ported by tucm early in December session. The defeat of the Morrill amendment to the defi? ciency bill was the first indication of the feel? ing in favor of the proposition to refund. The great bulk of the cases brought before the Court of Claims are cotton claims, and the ?ght against the amendment was made directly iu the interest of the cotton producing class. The next and most conclusive evidence of the feeling in the matter is to be found in the fact that the amendment to the omnibus bill, pro? hibiting tho Secretary of the Treasury from collecting the two cents per pound tax on cot? ton judgments obtained before the Court of Claims, was passed by the almost unanimous vote of both Houses. ? The most successful and keen business men of the country advertise, and who can question but that it builds up trade and dwarfs competition ? Judicious advertisers select those papers which have a largo circulation, good management, established character and influence. ? , Greeley's Picture. drawn by mark twain. ? _ He next goes to breakfast, wbicb is a frugal, absteminous meal with him, aud consists of nothing but just such things as the market affords?nothing more. He drinks nothing but water?nothing whatever but water and coffee, and tea and Scotch ale, and lager beer and lemonade with a fly in it sometimes, a house-fly and sometimes a horse-fly, according to the amount of inspiration required to warm him np to his daily duties. During breakfast he reads the Tribune all through, and enjoys the satisfaction of knowing that all the bril? liant things in it, written by Young, and Cooke, ana Hazard, and myself, are attributed to him by a confiding and ignorant public. . After breakfast he .writes a short editorial, and puts a large dash at the beginning of it, thus (-), which is the same as if he put H. G. after, and takes a savage pleasure in reflecting that none of us understrappers can use that dash except in profane conversation when chafing over the outrage. He writes this editorial in his own handwriting. He does it because he is so vain of his penmanship. He hired ont once in his young days as a writing master, bnt the enterprise failed. The pupils could not translate his remarks wi ,h any certainty. His first copy was "Virtue is its own reward'' and they got "Washing with soap' is low and absurd" ; and so the trustees discharged him for attempting to convey bad morals through the medium of worse penman? ship. But, as I was sayiug, he writes this morning editorial. Then he tries to read it over, and can't do it, and so he sends it to the printers, and they try to read it, and can't do it; and so they set it up at random, as you may say, putting in what words they can make out; and when they get aground on a long word they put in "protection" or "universal suffrage, and spar off and paddle ahead, and next morning if the degraded public can tell what it is all about they say that H. G. wrote it; and if they can't they say it is one of those imbecile understrappers, and that is the end of it. On Sundays Mr. Greeley sits in a prominent pew in Mr. Chap in's church and lets on that .he is asleep, ana the congregation regard it as eccentricity of genius. . When he is going to appear in public, Mr. Greeley spends two hours on his toilet. He is the most painstaking and elaborate man about fetting up his dress that lives in America, 'his is his chiefest and pleasantcst foible. Ho puts on bis old white overcoat and turns up the collar. He puts on a soiled shirt, saved from the wash, and leaves one end of the col? lar unbuttoned. He puts on his most dilapida? ted hat, turns it wrong side before, cants it on the back of his head, and jams an extra dent in the side of it. He puts on his most atro? cious boots, and spends fifteen minutes tucking the left leg of his panis into the boot-top in what shall seem the most careless and un? studied way. But his cravat?it is into the ar? rangement of his cravat that he throws all his soul, all the powers of his great mind. After fixing it for forty minutes before the glass, it is perfect^-it is askew in every way?it over? flows his coat-collar on one side and sinks into oblivion on the other?it climbs and it delves around about his neck, the knot is conspicu? ously displayed under his left ear, and it stretches one of its long ends straight out hor? izontally, and the other goes after Iiis eye, in the good old Toodles fashion?and then, com {detely and marvelously appareled, Mr. Gree ey strides forth, rolling like a sailor, a miracle of astounding costumery, the awe and wonder I of the nation! Fanny Fern on the Prevailing Style. ?When I say that the street dress of the ma? jority of respectable women of New York to I day is disgusting. I but feebly express my emotions. I say the respectable women, and yet, save to them wh d know them to be such, their appearance leaves a wide margin for doubt The clown at a circus wears not a more parti-colored costume; in fact, his has the ad? vantage of being sufficiently "taut," to use a nautical phrase, not to interfere with locomo? tion, while theirs?what with disgusting humps npon their backs, and big rosettes upon their shoulders, and loops, and folds, ana buttons, and clasps, and bows upon their skirts, ana striped satin petticoats, all too short to hide their clumsy ankles?and more colors and shades of colors heaped up on one poor little fashion-ridden body than ever was gathered in one rain-bow?and all this worn without regard to temperature, or time, or place?I say this presents a spectacle which is too disheartening to be comical. One cannot smile at the young firls who are one day?Heaven help them?to e wives and mothers. The Bankrupt Law Amended.?Congress has recently passed an amendment to the bank? rupt law, which is of much interest to those who are unable to pay their debts. The amend? ment exempts to the bankrupt such property as the State exemption law in force in 1871 gives to insolvent persons. The exemption in force in South Carolina, at the date mentioned, al? lowed a homestead of the value of one thou? sand dollars and personal property to the amount of five hundred dollars. In addition I to this, the bankrupt law exempts five hundred dollars worth of personal property. Therefore, j the law, as it.-now stands, exempts property of the. debtor to the value of two thousand dol? lars. The effect of the law will be to give to those who avail themselves of its provisions, absolute control over the exempted property, which is not the case under the State exemption law.? In the latter case, there is only a life interest, as after the death of the husband and wife, and the youngest child having attained its majori? ty, the property becomes subject to the claims of creditors. A Beautiful 8imile.?While Father Ryan was speaking, not long Bince, in Mobile, before the guests of the Ladies' Memorial Association, he made use of the following words. In point? ing to a heavy bank of clouds just rising m the west, and obscuring the setting sun, among which a vivid lightning was incessantly play? ing, he said: As yon sun goes down behind a dark cloud, so went down the hopes of those engaged in the unequal struggle for Southern liberty; as you now see the lightnings flashing and blazing athwart the face of that cloud, so leaped the bolts of hate and persecution. But behind that cloud the stars are still shining, just as the j star of hope is still lighting up the hearts of our people; and as the sun will rise again on the morrow, so shall eventually rise up in all its splendor the down-trodden and partially obscured cause of right aud justice. Cure for the Whooping Cough.?A phy? sician writes to Dcmorest's Monthly Magazine an interesting communication on the nature and treatment of whooping cough, and adds : "The remedy for the cure of this terrible disease is simple. It is within reach and pro? curable by all. Perhaps its very simplicity will cause it to be neglected. It is simply to administer tho decoction or infusiou of the common cantenea vesca, chesnut leaves, or, if better understood, chesnut loaves 'tea.' The infusion is prepared in the ordinary manner that tea is daily for domestic purposes, to wit: Pour one quart of boiling water on one ounce of the chesnut leaves and keep covered. When cold, an ordinary tea cup f -.11 may be given three or four times daily, the last at the time of the patient retiring to rest for the night.? Sugar and milk may be added, if necessary, to deceive the patient." ? "Does the court understand you to say that you saw the editor intoxicated?" "Not at all, only 1 have seen him so?so?flurried in his mind as to attempt to cut out copy with the snuffers, that's all." All Sorts of Paragraphs. ? Blessed are they that are ignorant, for they are happy in thinking that they know everything. ? Brown says that wedding rings ought to be called suiter-rings. He has been married five years. ? "Patience on a monument" has no refer? ence to doctor's patients. You will find them under a monument. ? A Philadelphia paper says that the course of a certain New York journal "is enough to make a hen smile." ? Mrs. Gubbins says her husband is exactly like a tallow candle, because he will always smoke when he is going out. ? A Western editor, in writing the obituary of a respectable citizen, says that "he has gone to that undiscovered burn." ? If a sweet disposition does not come to a ! lady by nature, it will come to her by express ?if the express brings her a new bonnet. ? The savings banks of the United States contain deposits of $1,000,000,000, mainly the surplus earnings of mechanics and laboring men. ? A pair of twins, born at Lowndes county, Miss., the other day?a boy and agirl?were named respectively Horace Greeley and Dolly Varden. ? Sundry journals are discussing the ques? tion, "Can we cultivate rain ?" One thinks it doubtful, but is quite certain we can "raise thunder." ? The wife is the sun of social system.? Unless she attracts there is nothing to keep I heavy bodies, like husbands, from flying iato ! space. ? A Portland man went into a shop s.nd stumbled through his errand in this fashion : "I want some white women's long-legged cot? ton stocking hose." ? A Texas lawyer has been found, forty three years old, who never drank a drop of ar? dent spirits or malt liquors, nor swore an oath, nor belonged to a church. ? Gen. Howard and Gen. Hooker are dispu? ting about the responsibility of losing the bat? tle of Chancellorsville. It strikes us Gen. Lee had something to do with that. ? A shrewd little fellow, who had just begun to study Latin, astonished his master by the following translation: " Fir, a man; gin, a trap; Virgin, a man trap. ? One false step, one wrong habit, one cor? rupt companion, one loose principle, may wreck all your prospects, and all the hopes of those who love, nonor and regard you. ? The local editor of an Indiana paper in? troduced a quantity of carbolic acid into his bedroom to drive away the musquitoes, and then?went and slept in the woodshed. j ? An elderly maiden lady, hearing for the first time that matches are made in heaven,, de? clared that she didn't care a straw how soon she left this sinful world for a better land. ? A box containing a black bear was re? ceived at an express office in San Francisco the other day; outside was this inscription: "Black bare?Ef you don't want to get bit kepe your fingers out of the crax." ? "I wonder where those clouds are going," sighed Flora, pensively, as she pointed, with delicate finger, to the heavy masses that floated in the sky. "I think they are going to thun? der," said her brother. ? An old man died in Pittsfield. Mass., gome time ago, and his sister refused to be comforted because she had no photograph of the dear departed. Finally she determined to have one, and accompanied by a photograher, went to the tomb, stood the corpse up against the door, and the photograph was taken. ? At the opening of a breach of promise case in Kentucky, the court asked the counsel for the plaintiff now long the trial would prob? ably last. "I can't say exactly," replied the counsel, "but will mention as one item that I have three hundred and eighty-four love letters, written by the defendant to my client, to read." ? Two young girls at a boarding school, de? votedly attached to one another, finding that at the close of the term they were to be tiepa rated, concluded to take poison and die togeth? er rather than to live apart. It was acconling ly done, but discovered by the teacher, powerful antidotes administered, and the girls lived. Each accused the other of treachery, and after a dreadful quarrel they separated the most bit? ter and deadly enemies. ? A colored preacher at Sparta, Georgia, some time ago, was heard to say in a funeral sermon of a deceased brad der, "He ruminates no longer among us; he have exonerated from the syllogisms of this world's discrimination, and when he gits to de cold dry stream oif the River Jordin, the Kerosinesand Peripbemi will meet him dare to row him over on dry land to the 8ilverstering city." ? Ladies some times do not value their hus? bands as they ought. They not unfrequently learn the value of a good husband for the first time by the loss of him. Yet the husband is the very roof-tree of the edifice?the keystone called home. He is the bread winner of the family?its defense and its glory?the beginning and ending of the golden chain of life which surrounds it?its counsellor, lawgiver, ard its ting. ? A celebrated astronomer predicts that a comet will cross the orbit of the earth some time in August. He thinks it very probable that the earth will be several hundred thousand miles away from that point about that time, but for fear of a mistake in his calculations, we advise all our readers to act in such a man? ner as not to have an unpaid printer.) bill hanging to their consciences should an accident occur. ? A truly Calvanistic old lady declares that "total depravity is a very good doctrine \f you only live up to it." Another says, she believes in that blessed doctrine. She knows she is to? tally depraved from the crown of her head to the sole of her foot, and she ''thanks the Lord for it /" Of near kin to these dear old souls was another who said : "The Universalere believe that everybody's going to be saved, but we hope for better things 1" ? An artist is said to have painted our Lord's Supper, taking great pains with the cen? tral figure; yet also painting the cup before Him with the most delicate tracery. But when his picture was put on exhibition, how great was his chagrin when he saw the crowds ab? sorbed with the cup! He seized his brush, dashed it out, and bade them "Behold the Mas? ter !" Some sermons need the brush of piety to hide the glittering baubles iu them which divert attention from the Master. ? It is now considered the thing for a gen? tleman to wear a Dolly Varden vest of the same pattern as his girl's overskirt. When parties are engaged it is also customary for the lady to make a nectie of the same material that her Btreet dresses are made, and give it to her future husband, who will wear it at all times in as conspicuous a manner as possible. ? A rashly importunate individual in Iowa City, who was weary of breath, attempted late? ly to put a stop to it by cutting his throat and opening the arteries of his wrist. Two or three doctors got hold of him, however, stitched him up and forced him to live, and then added in? sult to injury by presenting a heavy bill. The courts have forced him to pay it, too, with costs, about $300 in all, which is more than his funer? al would have cost. The Village Church.?It should not look like a barn or a storehouse. It should bo a building, Lho very Hijrht of which would cause devout feelings in tho breast. A well-carved cross should point to heaven ; massive paneled doors should impress tho visitor with the sol? emnity of the place into which he is entering; stained glass should throw a mystic light athwart the aisles; pulpit, altar, coiling and galleries should be ornamented with figurative mouldings, and the columns that support the galleries, and the balusters that rail them in, should bo of classic patterns.

A Buttonhole, Overseaming and Complete Sewing Machine in One!! We request the Ladies, and all others want? ing a perfect Sewing Machine, to judge from personal examination, this superior and excel? lent Machine. It is no exaggeration to say that it wUl execute a greater variety of sewing, with fewer attachments and less labor, than any Machine in the world. It is a decided im? provement on the older Machines in market; and the superior skill, workmanship and ma? terials-employed in its construction are a guar? antee of accuracy, strength and durability, and enable the Company and its Agonts to War bant every machixe they sell. to give entire satisfaction. It is comparatively noiseless, and runs with such ease that the most delicate female can operate it all day without fatigue. A Philadel? phia weekly, speaking of this Machine, says : "In New England, the home of the Sewing Machine, the American Buttonhole Machine is without a rival?1. Because it will do every? thing that any Machine can do, sewing from the finest to the coarsest material, hemming, felling, cording, braiding, binding, gathering and sewing on at the same time, quilting, etc., better than any other Macine. 2. Because the tensions are more easily adjusted. 3. Because it can work a beautiful buttonhole, making as fine a pearl as by the band. 4. Because it will embroider over the edge, making a neat and beautiful border on any garment. 5. Because it will work a beautiful eyelet hole. 6. Be? cause it can do overhand seaming, by which sheets, pillow-casos and the like are sewed over and over. 7. Because you can quickly raise and lower the feed to adapt it to thick or thin cloth. 8. Because you have a short, deep bobbin, by which the thread is constantly drawn from tho centre, the tension is conse? quently even. 9. Because the presser-foot turns back, that the cloth may be easily re? moved after being sewed. Because it is two Machines in one, and has no springs to break, and nothing to get out of order." We take the liberty of referring to the fol? lowing ladies, citizens of Anderson and vicin? ity, who have tested our Machines. The tes? timony of these ladies is certainly a flatter? ing evidence of the popularity attained by these Machines within a short time: Mrs. Edmund Murrah, Anderson.
