ntara Intclligcnar. Southern Industries Looking Up. A revolution appears to be silently going on in the agricultural industries of the Southern States. Ever since the war the planters of the ootton belt have recognized the necessity of a greater diversification of their industries, and gratifying progress in this direction has been made. In former times the planter persisted in devoting all their arable land to cotton, which of course rendered them dependent upon the North and West for-the great bulk of their food staples. Thus Louisville, Cincinnati and other Western cities became literally the smoke-houses and corn-cribs of the South, and it required a considerable percentage of the cotton crop each year to pay for food, which, under a better system of agriculture, might have been obviated. .For the last two or three years, however, the press of the South have strenuously urged a revolution in the old meth? od of cultivating the soil, and the appeal has been measurably successful, judging from the numerous reports which reach us of the great increase in the production of wheat, corn aud other cereals. Nor has this diversification of crops apparently interfered with cotton culture, as with good weather, the yield of that staple this year will be not far from an average, in spite of the damage by floods at the Southwest in the Spring. Indeed, with the immense amount of virgin soil exactly adapted to cotton, yet to be brought nnder cultivation, in such States as Texas, there is overy reason to believe that the heaviest crop ever produced by the South will be grown within the next decade, should the demand warrant it. If we are to judge the future by the past, it will b9 imprac? ticable for foreign cultivators of this indispen? sable fibre to compete successfully with our own, eveu though they should succeed in raising it at a much less cost. So far, every attempt to substitute for the Southern staple that of other I countries has proved far from successful. En- j gland has exerted her utmost efforts, and spent | labulous sums of money, through a long series of years, in stimulating the cultivation of cot? ton in such of her colonial dependencies as per? mitted the experient, besides encouraging its growth, through diplomatic and other appli? ances, in Egypt, Brazil and elsewhere. In limited cases as in Egypt and Brazil, the staple is of high grade, being long, soft and silky, partaking of the general characteristics which mark our Sea Island variety; but the supply of this variety is limited, and, moreover, un suited to the fabrication of goods for wearing apparal, being chiefly useful in the manufac? ture of spool cotton, laces and simular article?. Where it has been found possible to produce a crop in any considerable abundance, as in In? dia, the staple is short, harsh and of poor color, adapted only for making the coarsest descrip? tions of goods, and difficult to handle in the processes of reproduction. With the expecta? tion of surmounting this obstacle, seed in large guantities have been imported from the United tates, but this resource has utterly failed, and England has abandoned all efforts to supercede the American variety, having found the effort too costly and too barren of results. For a time, during our civil war, King Cotton ap? peared to have changed his seat of dominion, and not a few of our countrymen wero led to the conclusion that the Southern staple could never resume its place in the world's markets. Subsequent events, however, have shown how premature and mistaken were all of these cal? culations. The South is not only destined to eclipse all her former efforts in the production of cotton, but she is beginning to increase her factories, which, almost without exception, are more profitably conducted to-day than are those of New England. They are singularly favored as regards soil, climate, mineral re? sources, water-power, timber, &c., and it ouly remains for the people, white and black, to compose their differences, and bury their re? sentments in a common grave, to enable them to promptly overcome their financial embar? rassment, and place themselves in a most pros? perous condition.?Er. Naming the Baby. Smudge had ransacked various books for a name, and, as the sixth of the latest edition of Smudge was indicative of toil in the ranks of men, as the infant looked strong?almost war? like?a great nanie was the quest of its, dis? tracted parents. Mrs. S. wanted it named after some old Bible character. Smudge suggested Samson Goliah, which would typify strength ; Mrs. S. leaned to Moses Samuel, emblematical of weakness. Smudge had declared that he would expose the child to the measles before it should be nick-named Mose or Sam. Then he hinted at Jonah; but Mrs. S. would listen to no such monogram. She didu't want her last child's name connected with a fish story! Already they had named a child Haman, and she was sure that he would be hanged some day. See? ing that no Scriptural name could bo agreed upon, she suggested Omega, reminding Smudge that they had named their first-born Alpha. "You don't call this one Omega/'* said Smudge. "I'll put the name away, and when we want it I'll let you know. How would Martin Luther do?" "I'm a Baptist, I am, Smudge!" retorted Mrs. S., coloring. "I don't want any Lutheran names in this house. For your mother's sake, I allowed one of my children to be called Jonathan Wesley. She don't poke any Methodist names on to me again. If Luther had been a Baptist, the name might do. There's Roger Williams. Roger Williams Smudge would sound well 1 He could write it R. Williams Smudge, you see." "But he never will!" cried the parent, with determination. "Roger Williams was a Bap? tist, and you know, Mrs. Smudge, that I don't lean that way. I'd sooner call him Tom Paine." Mrs. Smudge shrieked. "Call him Tom Paine, and I'll kill him be? fore he's weaned." "You like Puritans, Mrs. Smudge. Call him Miles Standish." "No, sir! I don't wan't my child to grow up with any such outlandish name. You called our second boy Plymouth Rock Smudge, and that name will kill him before he votes. No more Puritan names." "You're the con foundedest particular woman I ever saw," retorted Smudge. "If it had been a girl, we would have called her Cleopatra Octavia." "No, we wouldn't! Our fourth girl now groans under the name of Olympia Tarpeia. It will make her be an old maid. Let's com? promise, Smudge. You like a strong name? Goliah, for instance?I, a Baptist one. Let's call the babv Roger W. Goliah Smudge." "Put the Bible name first." "I won't do it!" "Then we'll call him something else." "My fatiier's name was Joshua Gideon," meekly suggested Win. S. "What do I care il it was? None of my chil? dren shall be called after any of your relatives. That's settled ! Let us fall back on a late name ?Garibaldi, for instance." "Or Bonaparte." "Which one?" "Napoleon the Third." "No ; I won't have him called Napoleon." "Then you shan't call him Garibaldi," re? torted Mrs. S., as firmly. "Smudge, you're the tickiest individual I ever lived with. You won't listen to any thing. I'm reasonable? willing to listen to anything you propose." "Then call the boy Daniel Webster. I always admired the old statesman." "Our family shan't be disgraced by a Whig name," said Mrs. Smudge. "Lafayette is a great, good name." Smudge thought so: he was on the eve of suggesting the name of the great Frenchman himself. "He must have a middle name." "Lafayette Williams!" said Mrs. S. to that boy's coat-tail." 'Then you shan't call him Lafayette." And thus the quarrelling over the christen? ing continued for six mortal hours. Finally, the affair was settled. Smudge's twelfth baby is to face the world with the simple cognomen of John Smudge. Too often True.?Some men take too much money out of their business to expend in house-hold expenses and lavish display, and speedily bring themselves to the verge of bank? ruptcy." One old gentleman, who bad com? menced life as a poor boy, bad, by mastering the difficult steps to final success, gained con? siderable wealth as a merchant. When he ar? rived at old age he retired to private life_ to live in case and comfort on his income, leaving a prosperous business in the hands of his son. In three years the young man was bankrupt, lie had faiicd in business, and was compelled to take a position as clerk in a stranger's store. His father was asked why it was that, in a business in which he had succeeded so well, his son had failed. He gave this characteristic answer: "When I first commenced business my wife and I lived on porridge. As my business increased wc had better food: and when I could afford it we had chicken. But, you see, Johnnie com-1 mencod with the chicken first." NEARLY all diseases originate from Indi? gestion and Tocpidity of the Liver, and relief) is always anxiously sought after.

It is acknowl? edged by many prominent physicians to be the most reliable preparation ever in? troduced for the relief and cure of all Lung complaints, and is offered to the public, sanctioned by the experience of over forty years. When resorted to in season it sel? dom fails to effect a speedy cure in the most severe cases of Coughs, Bronchitis, Croup, Whooping Cough, Influenza, Asthma, Colds, Sore Throat, Pains or Sore? ness in the Chest and Side, Liver Complaint, Bleeding at the Lungs, &c. "Wistar's Balsam does not dry up a Cough, and leave the cause behind, as is the case with most preparations, but it loosens and cleanses the lungs, and allays irritation, thus removing the cause of the complaint.

A corrupt tree," saith the Inspired Vol XX ume, "bringeth forth not good fruit." nor can corrupt blood impart health, beauty and good flesh or spirits. "The Blood is tho Life," and health ecu only be enjoyed in it** lull perfection where the blood is kept in a pure and uncorruptcd state, hence the necessity ot* pore blood, to give health, beauty, buoyant spirits, hour life and happiness. A>: IMPURE CONDITION of the BLOOD, manifests itself in different forms of diseases, such as Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald-Heacl, Ring Worms, Pimples. Blotches, Spots, Eruptions, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Sore Eves, Rough Skin, Scurf. Scrofulous Sores and Swellings, Fever Sores. White Swellings, Tumors, Old Sores or Swe llings, Syphilitic Affections of the Skin, Throat and Bones. Ulcers of tho Liver, Stomach, Kidneys, Lungs and Uterus. In this condition of things something is needed at once to cl< an.ie the blood, and neutral? ize the insidious poison that BURNS LIKE A TERRIBLE FIRE, As it courses through the veins, sowing seeds of death with every pnlastion. Dr. Pemberton's Compound Extract of Stil lingia, (or Queen's Delight) will tositivkly effect this desideratum, expelling every trace of disease from tho blood and system, and leaving tin1 skin SOFT, FAIR and BEAUTIFUL. For all diseases of the BLOOD, LIVER and KIDNEYS, this Great Vegetable Alterative is without a rival. It will cure any Chronic cr Long Standing Disease whose real or direct cause is Bad Blood.
