I Editor Anderson Inidlujencer : Several indications have recoutly Up come prominent to show that the 8tudjy of thc Sciences is becoming a necessify foriour people, especially those of theijp who have a more intimate connection with farming. - I I wish to have a familiar talk s Uli my brother farmers, and show them, if i can,- how perfectly dependent ever,/| farmer is upon tho knowledge of tin1 Sciences by Bo.uebody who can make that kncwlcdge known ; and how impos-l aiblo it is for fanning to make progresa) without tho knowledgo in somebody of) the lawa whl ifc a kind Creator has pro vided for the benofit of his creature*. To ahow iu a familiar way how com pletely dependent mankind is for their livinj . on somebody knowing and ex plaining the Sciences, I assort this, and defy contradiction, that a man who does not use that knowledgo derived from those Jaws bf God called Sciences, cannot perform ono single act, except talking, that a horse cannot do. Ho can without science draw his breath and eat euch fruit as God has made grow wild. Thin being a fact, I am anxious to dull the edge of that prejudice which many good farmers have even of talking on the subject of the Sciences, by making it so plnin that any one who can read will understand mo. First, then, what is the meaning of the word Scionce? The word itself sim ply meatis "to know." But it has been further applied to a collection of the lending truths relating to any of the laws of God, properly arranged and sys tematized. Thus: Tho leading truths relating to that law of God which treats of the internal structure I of the earth, its various conten tn, ita various elements, put there for food for plants and trees, all arranged and systematized, ia called the Science of Geometry. Tho leading truths of that law which treats of the properties of mineral substances, all ar ranged and systematized, is called the Science of Mineralogy. Tho leading truths relating to that law which treats of all mattera calculated by figures, and of whatever can be measured and num bered, all arranged and systematized, is called tho Science of - Mathematics. Arithmetic, Geometry, Algebra, &c, are branches of this. .. The Science of Chem istry has for ita object to discover the nature and properties of all bodies, which is done by decomposition and combination. By it tho elements of food which ?ny plant has taken, from tho soil can be exactly ascertained, and by it tbe soil can be analized, and whatever food it has. for plants can be also discovered. It would seem that every farmer must see how important this knowledge of this Science would be to farmers. Men who have studied the lawa relating to Geometry and Chemistry tell usthf>.?Gou bas placed in the Boil fourteen elements or ingredients for food for plants. Now, if a farmer can bo told what the corn he plants takes up by Us roots, and also ex t.ctly what the soil ho plants tho corn in has of the . food the corn wants, then when he knows what tho soil lacks,.ho will know what to apply. Hydrology is the Science which ar rangea and systematizes all the proper ties and laws which are contained in and govern water. Mechanics is that soienco which investigates tho forces by which al. bodies aro to bo kept still or put in motion, and put in a particular form or ahapo. Tho .powers which it uses are the Idver, pulley, screw,'axle, inclined plano and wedge. Botany ia tho science which treats of the structure of planta, the function of their parts, the latitude in which they grow, and their classifica tion and names. Metallurgy io more of an art than a science, and comprehends tho whole procesa of separating the ore from other matten?, and smelting and re fining the meta). Natural History ar ranges and systematizes a description of the earth and all its productions, and in cludes Zoology, Botany, Geology, Miner alogy and uah culturo* The foregoing contains a description ?,of those Sciences.which have a more in timate bearing on the advancement ol Scientific Agriculture, and by which all farmlntr - ohnratlnni? ara ^owlaJ on, in many cases the farmer not being aware of it, as I,Will now proceed to illustrate ; Snpp'csf a beginner to commence farm ing.

A ?Retell of ?io Late Confederate Chi ot". tain. The funeral services of General Dick Taylor, who died at the residence of S. L. M. Barlow, E*q., in New York, of affec tion of the spleen, on the 13th instant, were performed in "The little church, around the corner," by Dr. Houghton. His pall bearers wero Hons. Hamilton Fish, Chas. O'Conor, .Secretary Wm. AL Evarts, D. D. Withers, Wm. Travero, Ceo. Ticknor Curtis, August Belmont, Charles L. Pekina, Wm. Constable, Abram 8. Hewitt, Senator Bayard and Mayor Cooper. Gov. Tilden and other celebrities were present. General Taylor was born in Florida, but moved to Louisiana, and represen ted that State in the Charleston Conven tion in 1860, when ho opposed a split. On th?-election of Lincoln he moved in thc Legislature for the State convention. He was made colonel of a Louisiana reg iment, then a brigadier and was placed nuder Stonewall Jackson. His first re markable service wa in tho famous val ley of Virginia campaign. At Port Re public thc Louisiana brigade carried the day and responded with cheers to Jack son's command, "THE BATTERY MUST BE TAKEN I" General Taylor was not a great admir er of Jackson, whom he has described as a man given over to lemon sucking and prayers. On this occasion, riding on thc flank of his column between it and the hostile linc, he saw Jackson beside him. Taylor I'd not consider that this was the place fi the Commander of the army, and ventured to tell him so ; but lie paid no attention to thc remark. "Wc reached a shallow depression where tho enemy could depress his guns," says General Taylor, "and his fire became close and fatal. Many men fell, and the whistling of shot and shell occasioned much ducking of heads in tho column. This annoyed me no little, ns it was but child's play to the wotk immediately in hand. Always an "dmirerof thodelight ful Uncle Toby, J hod contracted tho most villainous L it it of his beloved ar my in Flanders t td, forgetting Jack son's presence, ri >ped out, 'What the hell are you dodgi -for? If there i? any more of it you will be baited under this fire for an hour !' The sharp tones of a familiar voice produced thc desired ef fect, and tho men looked as though they lind swallowed ramrods; but I sh: U never forget the reproachful surprise ex cessed ir. Jackson a face. Ho placed a land on my Bhoulder, and said in a gen tle voice, 'I am afraid you aro a wicked fellow,' turned and rode back to the pike." TRANSFERRED TO LOUISIANA. General Taylor was afterward trans ferred to another and distant field of operations, and with the rank of major general, on the recommendation of Jack son for services in the Vallev, p'aced in command of the district of West Louisi ana. He showed great skill in his new sphere. Actuated by a dream of recap turing New Orleans, he fiercely attacked Banks, cut off his supplies and was in a fair way to success when the fall of Vicksburg destroyed his hopea. His second service in the tranB-Mississippi was in tl j famous Red River campaign, in the spring of 1864, in which bc acted tinder the orders of General E. Kirby Smith. He encountered Banks' army moving from Alexandria, and gained two of the most important victories for the Scntbern side. After thc battle of Pleasant Hill, General Taylor was for pursuing tho enemy to the water's edgo, and, contemplating tho destruction of Ranks auci Porter, indulged the prospect of thus overthrowing the enemy's power and opening the way to Now Orleans. But the commanding general did not favor this view. Taylor almost defied General Smith and took the responsibili ty of changing a reconnoisance into a buttle, and on the. commencement of the action ho had declared to General Polig 11 nc, who commanded one of his divis ions, "Little Frenchman, I'M GOING TO FIGHT BANKS here if he has a million of .nen." A despatch from General Smith came to him in tho midst of the battle, ordering him to withdraw near Shreveport. "Too Into, sir," said Taylor to the carrier who brou-li?, it ; "the battle ia won. It is not tho fint I have fought with a halter umuna my neck." Fortunately for him he obtained a victory, but it was pretty clearly shown afterward that had he obeyed orders and waited for hts support, it is improbable any portion of Banks' forces would have escaped. The conte quenco of the disagreement between Generals Taylor and S-uith was that the former was made a lieutenant-general and tran?ferred cost of the Mississippi and given command of what was popularly known aa the Department of tue South west, comprising East Louisiana and Al abama. Thia command Genere! Taylor surrendered to General Caoby on May 4, 18G5. On being asked whether thc trans Mississippi army ought to be surrendered, ho quickly replied, "Yes ; surrender as soon as possible. You are only sitting up with a corpse. I sat with it until it was blue, and if you delay much longer it will become toe offensive for decent burial.'-" THE SURRENDER is thus described : "A bountiful lunch eon waa spread, of which we partook, with joyous popping of champagne corks for accompaniment, the first agreeable ex plosivo sounds I had heard for years. Tho air of 'Hail Columbia.' which the band had struck up, was instantly changed by Canby's order to'Dixie ;' but I insisted on the first, and expressed a hope that Ooir-mbia would be again a happy land, a ..cntiment honored by many libations." After un absence of four year? he saw bia homo, Now Or lenns. His estate had been confiscated and sold, and he was without a penny. His first caro was lo sell his horses, and a purchaser waa found who agreed to tafeo and pay for them tho following morning. The best horan was badly foundered but oufficient "greenhar.lcH" were obtained for the other to bring his wife and children from the Red River to New Orleans. FETED BY THE PRINCE OF VTALZ3. The crowning triumphs of General Taylor's social career were won In Eng land and on tho Continent of Europe after tho war. He first grined notoriety nt thc London clubs by bis admirable skill ai a whist player. He was a disci ple of Hoyle and the older schcol of players and cared little for the modern niceties of the gamo. His memory was wonderful, and he never forgot a card. Tho English club men, who had learned their science from James Clay, Caven dish and Pole, were astonished at this old-fashioned player, who beat them in imito of their rules and fi. *"uln*. So General Taylor's fame came h. thu cars of the Prince of Wales, who loves a rub her next U> a tiger bunt, and they met - at the Marlborough Club one night and played together. Thus btgan an intima cy which endured to the last. Wherever the Prince went, whpther to Sandring ham for a whiff of rqstjc air, or to 8cot land tn etalk the deer, or to tho races at Ai cot, or to the University boat race on the Thames, thither he was certain to in vite General Taylor. Ho introduced him at Windsor to the Queen, and the Queen was so charmed with his company that she prayed him to stay for a week at the Castle. When the Prince went to India he invited General Taylor to be on? of the party, Bul tho General pre ferred to stay in London, and many a quiet rubber was played at tho Marlbor ough House, by the Princess, tue Duke of Cambridge and the American, while the Prince was riding in an cl pel)nut how dah through the jungles of N.-paul. In the royal box at Ascot his figure was fa miliar to every jockey on the course, though his means never allowed him to own race horses and rarely to bet. One wager he took, however, the issue of which trot-bled him to the last. He was on tho Prince's boat following the Uni versity crews when the Earl of Dudley, spying some token of French imperial Kin on the lawn at Chiswick, suddenly cried that he would bet ?5,000 to ?10 t'vice over, that the Napoleonic dynasty /as never restored in France. The Wince of Wales took one of these bets, and Gen eral Taylor took thc other, and ho has ever since regarded the metamorphoses of French politics with nu uncommonly wistful eye. But despite this new-born ardor for imperialism he was received with much distinction in Paris by Mar shal MacMahon, and even tho rugged Bismarck greeted him with a warmth that savored of personal friendship. In deed, his passage across the continent > was one of unalloyed triumph, and tho first gentlemen in Europe were proud to call him their friend. SECRET OF HIS SOCIAL SUCCESS. At tho root of this prodigious success lay his faculty for being all things to all ( men. Whatever the topic of conversa- ? lion might be, to that he would adapt himself. To men of n younger genera- ( (iou he was particularly charming, i When the faster members of the Prince ? of Wah ?' set would meet nt the Marl- ( borough he would discuss coaches with < Lord Carington, cock pheasants with , Lord Aylesford, aud thc latest horse race ' with Lord Charl a Beresford. In the < Park, with the Princess and children i his manner was redolent of antique chiv- , airy. At the Turf Club he would ar- j range handicaps wi,h Admiral Rous , and help Lord Roseberry make his book i for the Newmarket meeting. At tho < Athenreum he would cross literary swords < with Sir Charles Dilke, und ar. me Uni- ( ted Services would discuss military tac- , tics with Sir Garnet Wolsely nnd Lord ? Napier of Magdala. Nothing came . amiss to him. George Otto Irevelyn, ? nephew of Lord Macaulay, read bis arti- > cles in the North American Jieview, and ? said there was in him the ?duIV of a , great military writer. Statesmen listen- | cd with delight to his dissertations on i thc American constitution. Von Moltke | which he met Prince Bismarck. Every himself gave in his honor the diuner at i where ho spread about him tho charm j of his personality, and nothing distin guished him from the crowd otraconieura , more than this, that his conversation waa nrver forced or out of place, never la bored or prepared beforehand, welling up naturally from the stores of a natural ly rich mind. General Taylor had just before his death published a book, "Destruction and Reconstruction," which is said to bc pi quant, elegant and even brilliant in style, and in which he handles men without 1 gloves. Hu death will prevent recrimi nation on this account. With a pride which waa possibly un wise he refused to take any measures looking to the restoration of his confisca ted estate. He looked upon it as a stake lost in the great game of war, and to him lost forever. But as the confiscation was only of a life estate, the property, now of considerable value, will return to his ? children, of whom three daughters, resi- , ding at Winchester, Va., Burvive him. G?nerai xayior'a wife, who died in 1875, was a filias Myrth Bringier, of 1 New Orleans, and belonged to a Cre?lo family of distinction and influence. The Homestead ?jin. j Ma. EDITOR: Perhaps the matt odious of all the radical reconstruction laws em braced in the constitution of South Caro lina, is the one that heads this article. The close of the late civil war found nearly all men who bad owned slaves, 1 badly in debt, and our New England ad venturers nnd South Carolina dema fogues, being aware of this fact, and ? nowing that "drowning men catch at straws, and having some doubts about the ratification of their new fangled, re construction ideas, thought to insert this swindling homestead clause in the consti tution to catch their voten. This being a tender subject at the time, thc people and :he press generally kept silent, but tho thing would not work. The Supreme Court held that it could not hold good for debts contracted before ita passage, and heuce the debtor's last chance waB lost; but the reconstructionists had won. Now, what next? The Supremo Court decidc.i that thu products of lands, other than the previously assigned homestead, are not exempt from levy and sale-in other words, the crops of tenants and non-laud holders can not be claimed aa a homestead. Why not? Because the aforesaid reconstruction^:!, in their hurry to get full control of tho govern ment, seem to have forgotten there was such a being os a poor man in tho fram ing of tue constitution. Now what is tho scquol? Wt* baye a d::crirr.inat;i?? homestead law. Tho man who owns his $1,000 worth of real estate and his $500 worth of personal property, can mako debts, and swindle his creditor out of his money; the man with little or no prop erty, who is dependent on his muscle for a living, may work hard all the year, and then have all his produce sold from him, while his moro fortunato land-holding neighbor can huid his as a homestead. Should such a state of affairs exist? I answer, no. We should call a consti tutional convention, and if it is the judg ment of tho convention we m.u/ have a homestead law, let it be a reasonable one, and one that makes no discrimination between classes. I think tho people are getting tired of homestead laws, and I am anxious to roo a change. Much more might bo said, but I will let this suffice for tho present. Keep the ball in mo tion, and let us hope for a change for the better.-Spartanburg Spartan. - When the Confederate army ivas on the ahortest rations, General Lee remon strated with a straggler for eating green persimmons, and asked him if he did nut anow they wer? unfit for food. "I am i not eating them for food, General," re plied the man, "but for the sake of draw I tug my stomach up to fit my rations." A College Professor once said that "he who expecit to rate high in his class, must not expectorate on the floor." Much of the hawking and spitting was, no doubt, caused bf catarrh, which the professor knew could be readily cu rod by the jsoof a few bottles of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem edy. A PEACEFUL PROJECT. Tim Old Anenal at Cliarle.ton, 8. C., l>c ?lrtd for an Academy. Tho United Slates troops whi.-h have Oocn statioucd at tho Citadel and Arsenal in Charleston, S. C., are to bo removed to Atlanta, Ga., and those buildings left tennntless. The former is lite property of the State, and thc latter is owned by the United States. Tho Rev. A. Toomer Porter is endeavoring to secure the arse nal and grounds for the Holy Commun ion Academy for a nominal rcntnl, and Senators Butler and Blaine, Mr. Corcor an, the philanthropist, and Gen. Sherman ore said lo favor thc project. Action of Congress is necessary to the bargain. ; The Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier describes thc buildings and grounds, and gives their history, as follows: The arsenal grounds, as is well known, ' occupy thc square in the extreme north- \ western section of tho city, bounded by j Ashley nnd President streets on tho east ! nnd west, and hy Bee and Doughty streets on the north and bouth. Tho entire square contains about eleven acres of ground, upon which there are from eigh teen to twenty buildings, including the arsenal proper. The situation is one of the healthiest in thc city, and since its occupation by the troops tho buildings have been repaired and the entire place kept in splendid condition. Thc grounds are inclosed with a substantial fence of open woodwork, and are cool and shady, with a fine grove aud a large vegetable garden, which has always furnished the mess tables of the boys in blue with an abundance of early vegetables. During the past year very many improvements have been made, the most noticeable be ing the erection of a handsome two story frame building on the south side of thc campus. This was intended to be used ns a hospital. It is about 100 feet long and about thirty feet wide, and has wide Juuble piazzas extending entirely around the building. It will make a fine dor mitory, and can be easily converted into a jchool room. The arsenal proper is a quadrangular brick inclosure, situate near the western end of the grounds. The main entrance faces cast, and is mi ler a two story brick building, which is now used as a storeroom for arms, ammu nition, and other ordnance stores. The four angles of the quadilateral arc guard ed by lour enfilading towers. On the north and south sides are two brick Jwellings, now used as officers' quarters. On the west a low wall ruiimruies the :ourt from the street. The inner court af tho inclosure ?B laid off as a flower garden, in the center of which stands an sctagonal summer house. The work shops at the northwestern angle of the grounds have been converted into comfort able barracks and will probably be used for dormitories. The ground in the southern half of the campus is somewhat lower than that in the northern half, but it has been graded and is thoroughly drained. Leading up from the Ashley street en trance is a broad shel I road shaded by & grove of luxuriant water oaks. All in eli it is as pretty and as delightful a sit nation os could be desired for academic pur poses. The ground on which tho arsenal stands was purchased by the government in 1835, when it was a part ot what was known as Potter's Field. In 183G a number of wooden barracks were put up, and it was here that tho volunteers for the Seminole war were mustered in be fore leaving for the everglades of Florida. Thc arsenal building was not erected un til some six years later, when a depot for war material was established there. The other buildings wera erected at various times as they were required. When the news reached Charleston on (he morningofthe28th of December, 18G0, that Major Anderson bad evacuated Fort Moultrie and fortified himself within the historic walls of Fort Sumter, there was quite a commotion in the city. The calling out of the old 17th Regiment and the let Regiment of Rifles will not soon be forgotten by the people of Charleston. The four artillery companies were sent at once to Fort Moultrie, and on the same day a detail of two companies, the Cadet Riflemen and tho Palmetto Guard, were sent to take possession of the arsenal. The capture was effected without blood shed. Col. John Cunningham had com mand of the battalion. He proceeded to tho arsenal, marched the men in and took possession, nobody being on the premises but the keeper. The Palmetto Guard were placed in charge of the buildings and ground. They were under the command of Capt. Thus. Middleton, and on that occasion turned out 100 men, rank and Ale. On Monday, the 31st of December, they had procured a blue silk palmetto flag, nnd its folds were thrown l~i the breeze on that day for the first time from the flagstaff near tho main en trance to the arsenal. The battalion was subsequently relieved by tho Union Light Infantry, Commanded by Capt. David Ramsay. After the organization of the Confederacy tho arsenal was turned over to the General Government, and was fited up for the manufacture of cartridges nnd other war material. During the four long years of bloody strife that followed, the workshops were kept running, afford ing employment to a large number of women and children in the manufacture af cartridges. During the year 1863 a fire occurred in a long wooden building near the south wall of the grounds, used as a workshop for the loading of car tridges, and several persons were injured and the building destroyed. This was tho only mishap that occurred in tho arsenal during the entire war. At the surrender the arsenal felt into thc bands of the Federal government. It has been used as a depot for Quartermaster and ordnance Btorc3, and as a barracks tor thc troops. From time to time improve ments have been made, new buildings added, and the grounds leveled. Should Mr. Porter succeed in securing a lease of tho premises, and there seems to bo no reasonable doubt of his doing so, he will convert the arsenal into one of Ibo finest and most extensive academies in the country, and will add to the many ad vantages which Charleston now offers for tho c-uuealion of the youth of the South. WARTS ON ANIMALS.-Inquiries are mado for a "cure for warta" of different kinds on horses, mules and cattle. Many remedies aro prescribed-many barba rous and cruel to the animal, litre is a remedy often tried and never known to fail: Anoint the wart three times with clean fresh hog's lard, about two days between times.

Tho negro exodus still continues. Nearly every day a new lot of colored people from Louisiana or Mississippi ia landed hero. Most of them arc sent on to Kansas, hut ootna aro obliged to sub sist on charity for days before they can resumo their journey. Most every night the darkie.! can bo seen camping out ou tho levee. Here and there a lire int .tart ed, which is immediately surrounded with men, women nnd children, all stretching out their hands to the lieut. If any ol them happen to have anything to eat a .mug-pan is produced and the grateful odor makes the emigrants smack their 1 ?ju in anticipation of a meal. Tho arriving negroes do not seem to ha?*e made any better preparations for their journey than those who have gone be fore them. They are all ignorant of what is in store for them. They only know that they want to go to Kansas. It has got abroad among Borne of thc refugees that the government wishes them lo go there, nnd when they step off thc boat here they do so with tho expec tation that government money is waiting to Bend them on. They sav that most of thc negroes in thc cotton districts wish to emigrate, nud r?s soon as they can obtain enough money will do BO. A few duvs ago the negroes of Greenville, Missis sippi, held a meeting to discuss emigra tion. Several hundred of them wished to join thc increasing army of refugees. It was proposed that two or three men be sent on to investigate and to return with a report. This was voted down, tho ne groes preferring to take the highly-col ored reports which come to them of the Land of Promise. An intelligent colored man, however, started off on his own ac count, and has spent several days among the destitute blacks who arc here await ing transportation. He will go to Wy andotte and Kansas City and then return. Ho will undoubtedly advise his people to stay where they are, but it is exceedingly doubtful it they give any heed to the ad vice. Tho negroes seem to be perfectly wild with enthusiasm, and listen to no one not in sympathy with the movement. OVERRUN WITH THE DESTITUTE. Meanwhile tho condition of thc col ored people in Kansas is by no means assuring. Relief committees have been organized at Wyandotte. Tho place is overrun with the destitute, and Kn quick* ly as possible they are sent on to some other point. Tho place cannot possibly take care of all who arrive. One in every thirty have died, and most of tho refugees aro sick. Climntic changes arc working on their health. Medicine is scarce, and the outlook for the poo blacks is anything but cheering. Coui mittees have been appointed to prevent, ?f possible, tho lund mg of any moro col ored people in Wyandotte until tho Cresent ones arc- provided for. An agent as also beer, sent t o Fort Leavenworth to see if the negroes cannot bc given work there. Some of the colored men have been sent on to Kansas City, but evidently Kansas City doesn't core for tb? ra. The mayor, a dny or two ago, teljgraphed to the Secretary of War at Washington, saying that two thousand refugees were encamped about tho city. They were ignorant, helpless and dying. The city, he said, could take caro of its own poor, but thc country could not ex pect it to care for the poor of several States. He asked that a part of tbe reservations at Fort Leavenworth bo set aside, and that rations be issued, at least for the present. To this Secretary Mc Crary replied that he ''could not take the responsibility of issuing government rations to emigrant? without authority, and while Congress is in session that body has full power, and may bo applied to." Evidently there is a disposition to allow Kansas to "bleed:' as much as Bhe wants to, und. from all appearances, she has quite enough of the "bleeding" pro cess already. At Wyandotte the people aro becom ing alarmed over thc influx of the South ern negroes. "Witness thc following proclamation just issued by the mayor: Tu Any and All Steamboat Lines and Transportation Companies: "GENTLEMEN-Allow me to state to you. most respectfully, but most emphat ically, that the City of Wyandotte will hold all boats, officers, agents or any other persons who may be concerned in importing destitute persons to our shores to thc strictest legal consequences and I penalties of the law attaching to such offences." HOW THE NEGROES WERE DUPED. Meanwhile ibo exodus continues. That the negroes have been duped no one now doubts. Circular? have been sent to them broadcast, with instructions to keep them strictly private. The Lycurgus P. Jones circular, sent out from Topeka, is but one of them. Who Lycurgus P. Jones is no ono knows, but the circular signed by him has worked great mischief. It tells the negroes that tho Democrats will seek to rc-enslave them if they ro amin in the South, and contii.ues: "The \ Colonization Society has been organized by the government to provide land for each head of a family, which will bc given in bodies of one hundred and B?xty acres gratuitously. This laud is located in tho best portion of Kansas, in close proximity te Topeka, aud is very produc tivo. Here there is no distinction of so ciety ; all are on an equulity. Leave the land of oppression and como lo free Kansas." "Show this circular to nono bu. colored men, und Keep its contents a secret," says thc circular in conclusion. Such are tho means which are being employed to drag the negroes from their homes, and tho more tue subject is in vestigated the more apparent it becomes that the emigration was started tor thu purpose of enriching unprincipled schemers by working upon tho ignorance of the blacks. The steamboat agents still declare that they are entirely blame less in tho matter, and to show their good faith have telegraphed to Wyandotte, offering to take back freo any negroes who wish to return. Bu'- the colored men seem determined to stick it out. They thoroughly believo the circulars sent them, nnd declaro they had rather die in Kansas than go back to be mas sacred. No one can look upon these ignorant people on the levee without Iiity. Many of them are destitute to tho ast extremity. One of.the curiosities of thc exodus is the number of dogs wMco follow their masters. Every boat that lands a new band of emigrants ?a.'ds a small army of dogs. They are as hun gry looking as their masters. Where this hegira will end no one can tell. It seems almost certain that many of the emigrants must die from starvation, if not from disease.

A considerable portion of tho East River was literally on tiro for several hours yesterday. The startling phenom enon was witnessed by thousands of peoplo in this city and Ilrooklyn. At first attention was attracted to a dense volume of smoke over Blackwell's Island. This led to the supposition that either tho Charity Hospital or the Lunatic Asy lum WuS on fire. Information to that elicel was telegraphed to Fireman's Hall and thence to Police Headquarters. The newB caused almost a panic of excite ment among the officials, and measures were at onco taken to render assistance. The Commissioners of Charities and Cor rection were apprised of the conflagra tion and made haste to the scene. Tho foot of East Seventy-sixth street was packed with sightseers. There Commis sioner Brennan was joined by Warden Allaire, and the two officials, while wait ing for a boat to cross to tho Island, be came convinced that their alarm for thc safety of the institutions was groundless. By this timo the compact clouds of smokey vapor had partially cleared away and left a wider range of vision. It then appeared that tho Hames carno from tho Long Island shore or some point between the Island and Ravenswood. At lot a launch was procured, in which tho Warden and Commissioner were transported to tho supposed scene of tho conflagration. In tuc meantime tho fireboat Havemoyer steamed up the river and, after reconnoitering the southern ex tremity of the Island, put for shore and was moored to tho Seventy-sixth street dock. It was then definitely settled that the flames were outside the boundary of tho Island. A MAGNIFICENT DISPLAY. During these hours of suspense the scene from thc Long Isluud shore was truly a gorgeous spectacle. From a point in thc channel between Ravenswood and Blackwell's Island, extending southerly for about a mile, the surface of tho water was a livid sheet of flame. It was a sec.ie that held thousands of people spellbound. It appeared us if subterra nean fires hud burst through tho mass of water and conquereJ tho opposing cle ment. The glowing flames jumped and roared along the liquid surface: some times the centre of tue flames would be extinguished, leaving a darkened space surrounded by au aureole of fire. Theo, like a flash of lightning, tho entire area would bo again lighted up, leaving an unbroken sheet of flame resting on the Btirface or the water. The Harlc.i and Morrisania boats and other river craft witnessed from a safo distance this singular display. Tho pas sengers crowded on deck to get a better view of tho distant flames. The officials on the Ravenswood shore were not, however, particularly intimidated. Thoy knew that BO long as the docks and ship ping were not endangered, the ample volume of water would finnlly bar the progress of the flames. Still, strenuous efforts were made for their immediate ex tinction, and to this end three engines were brought into requisition. The fire, however, seemed to be fed from nn inex haustible source. Occasionally it would die away, the smoko blew off, and it was thought that the threatened danger was averted. But this hope was illusive, and again the broad expans? of waler was metamorphosed into a *hcet of finnie. As these conditions cor-.inucd for over th reo hours, with little signs of abatement, sev eral propellers wcro launched to fight the Aro by distributing the water on the outskirts of the conflagration, and grad ually narrowing the circle, until in this way tho flames were extinguished. This action wns not taken a moment too Boon. The old Harlem Railroad dock at Ra venswood and the piers and fences on tho river front were considerably damaged. I The trees in tho vicinity were nlso scorched. THF. CAUSE. All this commotion was duo to the bursting of a pipe which conveyed crude oil from the Hunter's Point refinery be neath the water to the Hudson River Railroad, at the foot cf West Thirtieth street. The escaped oil found its way in large quantities to the surfaco of the riv cr. Tho leakage began at about cleve:, a. m., when ono of the keepers on tho Is land noticed a sudden displacement of the water in the middle of tho channel. This was followed by a volume of spray being projected to a considerable height. The escaping oil was carried a consider able' distanco with tho tide. Sub sequently boys were r>een on the Ravenswood shore at Ir.e place whore the fire originated. It is supposed that,* seeing the ulack scum of oil covering the face of tho water, they ignited it with a match. Others maintain that the oil was set ablaze by sparks from a passing caualboat.-A". Y. Herald. WOMEN'S WORK.-Rev. Thos. Beech er, writing to the Christian Union of his camp life in the woods, gives the follow ing advice : "All men ought to go to the woods and religiously do their own wash ing and general work-such nn mewing, cooking, liouso keeping and dish-washing. Tho work of women is not spoken of sensibly by mcu until they have done it themselves. Gentlemen readers, it's easy to talk I But just try it on a very mod est scale once, and you will honor work ing-women more than ever. Do aa I have done-do a wash of six pieces, and theo remember that a ?ornan turna oil two hundred pieces in ?. day. Loo!: at your watch and see how long it takes you ! Look at your Boap, and see how much you havo used! Look at your while clothes (handkerchief or towel) and sec what you havo done, or not done, and never again speak harshly of or to a woman on wash-day, nor of laun dry work as if it were unskilled labor. Try it. Don't talk. Don't sneer. Try it. A sympathetic gentleman having washed two dozen pieces will never change bis shirt again without a glow of reverence and gratitude. She did lli?? I A aimil"? ?nd salutary conscious ness will come to him who darns his own socks, patches his trousers splices his sus penders, and washes dishes. Look not every man upon his own things, but ever}' man also upon the work of woman. Such an experience in tho woods will ge far towards settling the woman question, by teaching us that .ve are all mcmbera one of another, and there must bo no schism."

Chnrlottcans have alwuysdclighted to honorGovernor Hampton as tho redeemer of bia State from misrule, poverty aud corruption, and yesterday when tho first opportunity was offered showed them selves equally pleased to extend special courtesies to a statesman who, it less prominent in tho work of reformation, was scarcely less effective, and is a true representative of tho intelligence, patriot ism and independence of spirit of his na tive State. Gen. lintier arrived in thc city doy bo foro yesterday afternoon, and remained over one day tosca his sons, expecting also to bo joined by Gen. Hampton yes terday afternoon. Tho Hornots' Nest Riflemen, as BOOU as they heard that the two Senators were to be in Charlotte, made arrangements to escort Gen. limier to tho depot and to pay their respects to Cien. Hani[itou. Accordingly they assem bled in tho afternoon in front of the Cen tral Hotel, where a crowd had already gathered in anticipation of a speech from thc|former. He was loudly called for nnd stepping forward to thc curbstone excused himself by thanking tho company for tho honor shown him, nnd asked them to reserve their calls till Governor Hampton should arrive. Tho line of escort was then formed, and he moved ofTto tho depot in a car riage with Col. Frank Coxe, whoso guest be lind been since his arrival in the city, and was followed by quite a largo crowd. Tho demonstration was suggestive of thc days of 1876. At the depot the crowd was augmen ted by the arrival of thc cadets of the Caro lina Military Institute. When the train pulled U,T to the station tho Horneta' Nest Killemen formed to receive Gov. Hamp ton. After some delny he appeared with Mayor Smith ou the platform, lonning on his crutches, and was received with cheers, intermingled with loud calls fora speech. Being introduced by the Mayor, ha said that he had been in tho habit .>f putting Gen. Butler forward to do the fighting during tho war, and that he hud shown that ho was no less successful aa a talker than n lighter, and ' was his in tention to put the Senator in .br tho talk ing on the occasion, but ho could not repress a desire to thank tho citizens of Charlotte for their kind expressions to wards himself. Ho remembered with gratiludo that tho handsomo company which stood on his right was tho same which had escorted him to the capital ofhisStalo when ho went there to tako his Heat as Governor, and he was no less mindful of tho sympathy and regard which the people of North Carolina hod shown bini during the past year, and formerly in the difficult and troublesome times in his State. His experience du ring the war was that wher ever placed, tho Tar-hcols could al ways bo relied on. Ho hoped to see the Hornets' Nest Riflemen again in Colum bia on the lUth of May. "I am going to Washington," said he, "to represent my people in the National Council. I trust that while I shall never forget that I am a Southern man, I shall always recollect that I am an American Senator ; that I shall be able to subordi nate a partisan spirit to tho bringing about of that reconciliation which we all so ardently desire and need. Sitice I first aid aside my sword I have striven for peaco between tho lately contending sec tions of the Union, nnd I believed then as I believe now that such a state of feel ing will bring prosperity and happiness to our land." Tho speech was interrupted by ap plause, cad at it;. CIOBO Gen. Butler was again called on, and responded briefly by saying that he had succeeded on this occasion in putting Gen. Hampton for ward, and he had said all that could have been appropriately said on the oc casion. Govenor Hampton is looking remark ably well considering' tho suffering he has undergone, but moves with consider able dilliculty.- Charlotte Observer, April ia. Revolutionary '.'roceediiig in Charles ton. The peoplo of tho South, and especial ly of South Cnrolinn, continuo to mani fest their hatred of United States sol diers whenever nn occasion presents it self, and there can bo no doubt that the revolution is "'ooming" in that State. For como years past a regiment of artil lery has been stationed in Charleston. A few weeks ngo the Secretary of War directed that the post should be broken up, and that tho troops should bo re moved to Atlanta. When this order was promulgated, General Siegling, an unhung rebel who was appointed by tho traitor Hampton to the command of a brigndo of volunteers, ?udressed a note to Uencrnl Hunt, tho Union commander, thanking bim for his uniform courtesy to the people of that city, and for the as sistance he had often rendered in the preservation of order. Ho added that General Hunt had endeared himself lo all tho people, eau dug the uniform he " ?oro io bc regarded as tho badge of tho "officer and the gentleman," and inaL-i ig the "old ling" welcome aa of old in the eight of the citizens. He concluded by requesting General Hunt to nnmo a time when it would be convenient for him and his officers to accept a n'oro formal ex ' pression of sincere appreciation and high regard. General Hunt was too busy to accept tho invitation, but in his letter of declination ho says : Coming among you as strangers, you received us in the kindest manner, and with soldierly frankness gavo us your kindness in advance.

WASHINGTON April21.--Themethods by which tho backers of Grant have con trived to uso the power and prestige of the Government of the United States In order to put foreign nations and foreign municipalities in a position tn which it vrould he next to impossible for them j without incivility to tho United States to refuse to extend unusual and elaborate I hospitality to General Grant, are likely soon to como to tho front in tbs form of official correspondence. It will be re membered that President Hayes, out of a complaisance towards his prede cessor in office, for which no ono can blame him, directed Secretary Evarts to issue a circular letter on the subject of the attention proper to be paid to Gener al Grant, to our ministers, consuls, con sular agents and naval officers all over i tho world. Tho cuo for tho interpreta tion of tho circular letter was given by Mr. Picrrcpont and Consul General Ba dcau in London, and out of the doings in England it came to pass that there was < established in London, under Consul General Badenu, a sort of Grant "nin compoop bureau," from which instruc tions were issued to the American lega tion or consulate in every place through ? which it might bo arranged that tho ex President sliould go. If tho place was a ] political capital, the A re ri can legation 1 was to ?my at tho Foreigj otdce that "the government" of tho Uni :ed States would consider itself to be under much obliga tion to the French or Italian or Turkish government, as the case might be, if es pecially official and nupular considera tion could bc bestowed upon tho coming ex-Preident, when be arrived. If it was only a commercial centre which was to i bo visited, thc, American consul there was directed to ray the samo sort of things to thc municipal authorltica and to tho loading manufacturers and mer chants, whose invoices might require consular certificates and indorsement. i All these official applications to for eigners for civiltics and expenditure.) to be iavitthed on General Grant were as a mero matter of fact so many drafts drawn . by the government at Washington upon foreign countries, or their officials or cit izens and subjects, and similar drafts must of course in time be honored at Washington when they nra drawn in fa vor of any personage ia Europe er Asia < against us. With European or civilized Asiatic governments such direct applica tions uiade by a nation of tho rank of the United State are of course equivalent to those several letters of introduction which aro sometimes disrespectfully do- < scribed as "soup tickets." If the power and credit of the United States aro to bo exerted in a similar manner in his favor there is not a prominent military officer or civilian in tho United States who might not be put beforo foreigners all over the world in a way to elicit the most distinguished nttentiuns. Th? upshot of tho whole matter if that General Grant hos been kept wandering about Europe and Asia since 1877 as "the government" candidato for re-election. How the pri vate expenses of his wanderings may have been defrayed concerns no one but himself and his friends. Whether it is to lue honor and advantage of tho coun try, however, that all these obligations to foreign powers should have been incurred by the people of the United States through their public servants in order to promoto tho candidacy of a particular citizen for tho Presidency is, however, a matter both proper and important to be considered by the public. It may be added, by tho way, that in ono instance, nt St. Petersburg, the bill of the expenses of a grand pic-mc and reception tendered General Grant by the Russian authori ties, ut tho request and solicitation of the American minister, is believed on good authority to have been sent in by them to the American legation and thero paid. -Special lo JV.

Mosby Raising a Breeze ID China. A private letter just received from a distinguished American merchant at Hong Kong; conveys some interesting particulars, m a semi-official way, of tho ferformances of tha now consul of tho Jnited States to that portV-tho ex-guer rilla Colonel, Jehu S. Mosby, of Virginia. Hong Kong, aa la known, bi tho acat of British power in tho waters of Chiua and Japan, and ruled by an officer of the Crown, entitled Governor General, All the pomp and pageantry of a miniature court ia maintained. Under these cir cumstances the proprieties of etiquette aro closely observed, and the rigimen of manners is dictated by the Governor Gen eral's official household. It appears, on the occasion of Colonel Moeby's ap pearance at his post, he disregarded tho usual formalities toward the authorities, and subsequen on the occasion of an entertainment 01 ceremony at the guber natorial residence, bc was requested to appear iu the proper costume of polite society. Ho replied that he would bo d-d before he would wear anything except what another American citizen would wear; that be represented tho United States, and ho proposed to intro duce American m .inners and Ametican customs. His conduct at Hong Kong since his arrival there has not only notoeen satis factory to the American residente, but has been exceedingly objectionable to tho English and the residents of the other nationalities. This information has caused much comment here, and a {iromincut official observed to-day that t was a remarkable fact to him that a fieraon of bis character and political re ations had been ablo to so successfully deceive President Grant, and continue with the same success his operations with tho presont administration ; that bis manipulation of patronage baa not been confined to the appointment of a brother in the Treasury Department, bot extends te "his sisters, and cousins and aunts." His success is mainly attributable to bis assumption that he control? tho Republi can party of the Old Dominion, and in this way has practiced upon the credulity of two Presidents without ever showing the slightest evidences of practical resolte. It is not improbable that the govern ment will inquire into this matter, and if Colonel Mosby bas been guilty of what is alleged, action will bo taken in the premises.-Baltimore Press. ? BUY Ss: Mil, TUBES.-Nursery men usually des?:/ibo trees in their catalogue as "second class," "medium," "first class" and "extra." 'Ibo difference in these niasses is principally, if not wholly, in the sizes and height of tho trees ; and' as most farmers desire tbo best they suppose that the large "extra" trees merit that description, and hence order them. The fact is, however, that a small tree will grow faster and (if a fruit tree) come into bearing condition* sooner '?han a large ono; and, as the ?ew England Homestead elates, in half dozen years the trco that was small when planted will be larger and finer than any other. The larger the tree, the larger th? roots, and the fewer there will be upon them. A tree that baa plenty of fibrous roots will grow readily ir proper care is nsed in transpor tation ; but no amount of skill eau coax a tree to livo and flourish which is desti tute of these little fibres. The roots of large trees are always more or less mutti-, atea in tbe process of taking up, while small trees onstain little injury from this source. Dealers in trees assert that ex perienced men buy small, thrifty trees, while these who are just starting are anx ious for. the largest tobe had. Those who are to set trees tbe coming season will do well to learn from the experience of those who. at considerable loss to themselves, have demonstrated that small trees are the ones to bay. - A Tilden clnb has been formed at Ocean Springs, Miss. - Georgia convicts are now working nader a twenty-year lease.
