MAJ. JUNES' COURTSHIP. Tito Humor ot. tho Late Win. T. Tliotuft ?on- A I'urc anil Hpontaueous Marnpie A Book all ??eorglan? Have Bead-The ytajpytl ^fcriflltnaa I'rrsiut ta Hl?-8weet if il1 doubtless til? publication of Prof. Longstreet's "Georgia Scenes," in 1840, which suggested a continuous story upon tlie Mirna, stage of action, and in 1812 "Major Jene?' OoUrUbip*' appeared. The author of thia homely, natural and amusing fiction, .Mr. \V. T. Thompson, au oditor in Savannah, is still alive. In 1848 he followed his first production wilb "Mejor Jones' Sketches of Travel," which possess a value as contemporaneous pic tures beyond and above their humor, abundant as that is. Thc "Courtship," however, is a novel, origiually meant ns a travestie, to which lime has leut a sort of pal IK. .. Jt is a graphic portraituie ol the interior life ol thc South. Rough and ready as the farce is, it is never vul gar. Its characters are few, simple and virtuous. It deals with cleau homespun. It carries tho mind back to the old brick church, the innocent pic nie, the rural Fourth of July Celebration, the Christ mas frolic. Joseph Jones, th" only eon of tho widow Jones, living near the village of Pineville, in Georgia, is a well-to-do young farmer. Ile is in love with Mary Stallins, daughter of the widow Stallion, a near neighbor. Joseph has grown up on tho plantation, an honest, affectionate, moral young man ; Mary has gone off to a boarding school and comes home a belle. Tho adventures are founded on tho one side by the barnyard ; on the other side by the hearthstone. Over ali a pair of rugged roof trees cast their kindly shade. Thc story runs along like abrook, wi thou, effort or concealment. There is no villain in the piece-only a would-bo wit, culled Cousin Pete, who is introduced JU a tense. The tribulations of the lovers nro very slight; but there is throughout the narrative a naturalness which, being nowhere strained for ils fun, is really captivating. As au exam ple, I cnn not forbear quoting the culmi nation of the courtship. You will un derstand that our hero had had many struggles and trials bringing himself lo the point of popping the question ; that, although lio ls almost Bure of his sweet heart,' he can not muster courage enough to make a direct proposal ; that every body is in tho secret aud approves the match. How thc deed wan finally done he shall tell himself: "Christmas come, I put on my new suit, an' shaved my face ns slick os a emoothin' iron un' skipped over to ole Miss Stnllinse*. As soon ns I went into the parlor, where they wns Hittin' around tho fire, Miss Cnr'line and Miss Kesinb both laughed rite out. " 'Thar, now,' sir they, 'I knowed it would be Joseph.' " 'What's I u'one, Miss Cnr'line,' says I. " 'You come under sister's chicken bone,' says Misa Ktsinb, 'an' for my part I b'leeve she knowed you wns a comin' when she put it over tho doro.' "'Nb/I didn't-I didn't do no sich thing, now," says Miss Mary, blushin' red like n Sumner rose. " 'No matter ' says Miss Carline, 'you belong lo Joseph now, or thar's no charm in clucken-bonei'.' " 'I kuow'd it was a first-rate chnnco to ?ny something. Rut the dear little critter looked, so sorrowful un' Vent blushlh' ?o,'X j?bui?n't suv notbiu' zack ly to tho pint, so I jest reached up an' took down the ehicken-bono nnd put it in my '"Wont aro you a-gwine to do with that ole chicken-bono, Major Jones?' says Miss Mary. < " 'I'm a-gwine to keep it as long as I live," says 1, 'as a Christmas present from the handsomest girl in Georgy.' "'Ob, Major? says she, 'ain't you ashamed of yourself?' " 'An' then up speaks Mit?Kesinb, un* says she : 'Joseph, you ought to give her a Christmas presont to keep all her lifo.' *?* 'Ah,' says ole M?as Stallin's, 'when I was a gal we used to hang up our stock in'a-' " 'Why, mother,' snys all of 'em in a breath, 'to say stockin's before Mr, Jones!' ?"Highly, highly,' says thc old lady, 'what monstrous 'finement. Pd like to know what harm there is in stockin's. People is gittin' so pu ri i to now-a-days they never calls nothin' by its rito nnme. When I was a girl I uso' to hang up my Htockin'u and git, lota of presouta.' "'The girls kop* bri a lnughin'.' '"Never min',' Bays Miss Mary, at lust, 'Major's goiu' to give me a Christmas gill, ain't you, Major?' " 'You know I'promised you ona,' enya I. 'I've got it for you now ; but it'll take a two-bushel bag to hold it.' " 'But will you keep it as loug as you Uvo?' says ?. " 'I will," says she. " 'Now, you hear that, Miss Car'linc,' says I. 'She says she will keep it as long ns she lives'.' " ' Yes,' Hays Miss Mary, more positive, 'thal I will. But what ia it?" " 'Never mind.' .says I, *pu hung up a bag bij* cnttff to bold it, and you will find out. when you see it to-morrov; morniu'.' " 'Miss Car'lino winked at Miss Kcaiab, and then whispered to her-Rnd then they both laughed right out. They 'spicloned something. " 'You'll bo sure to give ii. to me now if I hang up n bag?' sayYMiss Mary. " 'Andpromiao to keep it?' says L "She blushed a little, and studied a lit tle, nnd then abe Baya: 'We!!, I will, bo cause I knoW you wouldn't givo mo nothin' that wasn't worth keeping.' 'JTbey all ngrced that they would hang a bag in the back.porch to put Miss Mary's present io, nnd about 9 o'clock I told 'em good eveuin' an' went homo. "I sot up till midnight, aud arter they was all gone to bed, 1 crep' Boftly in at the back, nn' thar, sure enuff, waa a grate big meal bag hangi?' to the jice. It was monstrous onhaciy to git into it, but I was 'terraincd not to back out. - So I sot some chairs on top of a bench and got hold of tho ropo and let myself gently down into thc bag; but, just aa I was gittin' in, the bag swung round agin the chairs, and down they carno with a ter rible racket. Howsomever, nobody did not wake; up but ole Miss fitalttna' yard dog, an' hero he come ripin'an'tarin' like rath, and round and round he went smellin' an' barkir.' to find out what was the matter. I sot. down in the bag an' didn't breathe loudcr'n a kitten for fear he'd find me out. Arter a while hestopt his 'foruni harlin'. The wind begun to blow powerful cold, nnd the old bag kep' turnin' round and ?wlngin' eo it made me sea sick. I was afraid to move less the rope would break and lot me down, an' thar I aet, my teeth rattliu' like the ager. B. 'peared to rae it would never como daylight, and I do believe ef I hadn't loved Miss Mary so powerful I w?ulti'ha' frozo lo death, for my hart was the only spot that felt warm, an' it didn't beat more nor two lick?, a minute j. only, when I thought how she'd be sprised in thc? mornin', an' then it went in a canter. Biracby the cussed ole dog come up on tho porch and began smellin' and whin in* 'bout tho bag. Then ho b?gan to howl as if he'd treed a coon. 'Bow I W )W ! wo.v !' says he. 'Git ,out ' says I very low, for lear they would* febar rae. 'Bow I wow ! wow P says he agin. 'Be S;one 1 you 'bominable fool,' says I, au' I ell nil over in spot;, for I Mowd every moment he'd nip me; an' what is worse' I didn't know wher'bouta he'd take hold. He went on harlin'. Then I tried coax in'. 'Como here, Towser/-aaya I; 'Pm your friend.'~ Tft?n I whistled sorter soft and pcrsu'adin'. It done no good. Thar ho stood and kept up his eternal whinin' an' harlin' all night. 1 couldn't .^ell when day waa breakin* 'only by the chickens ernwin', und I was glad to hear 'em, to be sure, for ? do b'iieve ef I had had to stay,.in that bag n hour longer I would.? dfeuV' . . "Old Mrs. Stallins conic out fust, au' aa noon an she saw the bag, says (the : " 'What on earth has Joseph gone an' pu' in that bag for Mary ? I'll lay it's a yearliu' or some .ive animal, else Toweer wouldn't bark ad/ "She trent In to call -the girl?, au' I cot there shlverln' ao 1 couldn't hardly apeak if I tried to-but I didn't say notbin'. Ilimeby tbey all came runnin' out. '"My Lord, what ia It?' say* Miss M>ry. ? "Ob, it e alive,' say* Miss Kesiab ; 'I seed it move.' " 'Call Cato, and make bim tut tbe rope,'said Miss Caroline, 'and let't see what it is. Come here, Cato, nu'get this bag down.' *' 'Don't burt it for the world,' said Miss Mary. ?'Cato untied the rope that WHS round the jice and let the bag down easy on the floor, and 1 tumbled out all covered with corn meal from bead to foot. " 'Goodness gracious !' say* Miss Mary, 'if it ain't the Major hisself.' "JVes,' says I, 'and you ktnw you promised to keep my Christmas present ' as long ns you lived.' i "The girls laughed themselves almo.it to death, an' went to briishin' oft" thc meal ns fast as they could, sayin' they was agwine to bang that bag out every Christmas till they got husbands, too." , Of course, Major Jones married Ids sweetheart, und, as we learn from his , book of travels, published many years afterwards, tbe union was io every re spect a happy one, ( COTTON A WONDERFUL PLAST.- I Since J have studied the character of all the great Southern agricultural staples, und the special relations of each ol them I to the life and civilisation of thc people, the prominence always given to cotton does not seem strange or unaccountable. It is a wonderful ntid peculiar plant in its adaptation lo the varieties of soil uud general environment which it finds in different parts of the country in which it is grown, aud also iii its relation to some features in the character of the people who are engaged in its culture. It will grow on almost any soil nud in almost any possible situation, in thc latitude in which it belongs. Where thc soil is gen erous the quantity of the libre which is produced shows that tba plant has very great power of assimilation and appro priation for whatever clements of nutri tion are contained in its food supply. On the other band, if the soil is excess ively poor nud sterile, cotton will still grow. It now wastes no strength or food on stem or leaf, but put all its materinl and force into .'lower ami seed. It is tho fnct that cottou is a seed fibre that makes it so valuable to this country. If it were tbe libro of tho stem or bark, as in the case with flax or hemp, much of the land of the colton region, and much of the cultivation employed upon it, would bo entirely inndequntc to the production of thc libre ?ti paying quantities. Hut na ture cares more for seed, of course, than for anything else, and in making tbeseed of tho cotton plant abe makes the fibre which is of so great value, nnd lu soil almost utterly barren, and with scarcely any cultivation, there will still be ma tured, on encb dwarfed and stunted plant, a few bolls of fairy, good, marketable COItot?.-John Fisk, in May Atlantic. VicToii HUUO'H JOYOUS FAITH.-I am a forest which has been more then once cut down, Tho new Bboots aro stronger and livelier than ever. I um rising, I know, toward tho sky. Tho sunshine ?8 on my bead. Tho earth gives its gener ous, sap, but beavoD lights mo with ibo reflection of unknown worlds. You say the soul is nothing but tho resultant of bodily powers. Why, then, is my soul moro luminous wher my bodily pow en begin to fail? Winter is on my head and eternal spring is in my heart. Then I breathe at this hour tho fragrance of lilacs, tho violets and tho roses ns at twenty years. The nenrer I approach tho eud, thc plainer I hear around me the immortal symphonies of the worlds which invite me. It is marvelous yet simple. It isa fairy talo and it is history. For half a ceulury I have been '.vating my thoughts in prose, verse, history, phi losophy, drama, romance, tradition, satire, ode, sons-I havo tried all. But I feel that I nnve not. said the thou sandth pnrt of what isiu mc. When I go down to the grave I cati say like so many others, I have finished my day's work ; but I cannot sny I have fiuished my lifo. My day's work will begin nest morning. The tomb ia not a blind alley, it ia a thoroughfare. It closes in tho twilight to open in the dawn. I improve every hour, becauso I love this world ns my fatherland, because the truth compels me, as it compelled Voltsire, that hu man divinity. My work is only begin ing. My monument is hardly above its foundation. I would bo glad to Bee it mounting and mounting forever. Tho thirst for tho infinite proves thc infinity." SAVE YOUR LETTERS.-Never burn kindly written leiten ; it is so pleasant to read them over wbeu the ink is brown, tho paper yellow with ago, and the bands that traced tho friendly words are folded over the heart that prompted them under tho green sod. Above all, never burn lov-5 loiters. To read them in after years ia Uko a ' resurrection of ono's youth. The elderly spinster finds in tho impas sioned oiler she tm foolishly rejected twenty years ago a fountain of rejuven escence. Glancing over it, she realizes that sho was once a belle and a beauty and beholds her former self in o mirror much more congenial to her taste limn the one that confronts her in her dressing room. Tho "widow indeed" derives n sweet and solemn consolation from tho letters of the beloved ono who lina journeyed before her to tho far-off land, from which thore comes no message, and where she hopes ono day to join him. No photo graphs can so vividly recall to the memo ry of the mother the tenderness and de votion of tho children who havo left nt the call of heaven, ns the epistolary out pouring of their love. The letter of a truo mother is something belter than tho imago of tho features-it is a reflex of tho writer's soul. Keep all loving let ters. HOURS AND MINUTES.-Why is une hour divided into tit) minute ? and each minute into 60 seconds? Why not divide our timo ns we do our money, by tens, counting ten, fifty, or ono hundred minutes to an hour? This question ?is asked by an intelligent boy, nnd tho an swer gil en bira may both intereat and instruct other young people, lt is this: Wo have sixty divisions on the ?liais cf out clocks and watches, because the om Greek astronomer, Hipparchus who lived in the second century before Christ, ac cepted the Babylonish system of reckon ing time, that system being sexigesi mal. The Babylonians were acquainted with tho decimal system, but for common and practical purposes, waa counted by sorti nud turi, thc torsos representing six ty nod thc twos sixty times sixty, or thirty-six hundred. From Hipparchus that mode of reckoning found ila nay into the works of Ptolemy, about 150 A. D., und thence was carried down tho stream of science and civilization, and found tho way to dial-plates of clocks and watches. - The Cincinnati Commercial takes a S'ooray view of Republican prospects in at State. It declares that lhere "need be no doubt of one thing, and that ia that in October next a Republican vic tory will havo to bo gained without tho aXsistance of tho German vote." It adds that tho enforcement of the Pond law and the Smith Sunday law "will bo a source of constant irritation and thoroughly alienato that vote." A Cin cinnati correspondent of tho New York Tima predicts that Ohio will go Demo cratic next Fall by at least 80,000 ma? jority. LETTING THE MEWTEB.BASEAX JNTO THE SAHARA.-Thc Yreac'u cabinet ba* approved of a plan drawn by M. de Les nop- fot digging a canal from a point on tho .Icditcrrancan near thc (Juli of GaUr to thc Desert of Sahara. Too ad vantaged to be derived aro partly politi cal, pertly commen?ai and hygienic. The canal would neperate Tunis and Al giers from Tripoli, and, in fact, servo the purpose of n frontier defense. If lt be true that the level of .Sahara ia con siderably below the surface of the Medi terranean, the flooding of the country in the rear of thc French possessions in Africa would render the incursions of thc barbarians ol the desert impossible, see ing that there would be no desert left. The other advantages spokein of-tho commercial nnd hygienic- are obvious. Trude with Central Africa would be much- facilit'ted. The clim.-.te of tho coast would be rendered cooler and the marshes South of Tunis and Algeria, which at present breed malignant fevers, would ccat-c to be dangerous when once they were made part of the Mediterranean. Tho effect on the French tenure of thoir new acquisitions could hardly fail to be happy ^ How in ?.Kr Ku? ul- KAT*. -A writer in the Scientific American nay*: Wc clean our premises of the detestable vermin, rats, b) making white wash yellow with copperas and covering the stone and rafters with it. In every crevice in which a rat may go wc put the crystals of the copperas and scatter in the corner of thc floor. The result was a pe:feet stampede of rats and mice. Since that limo not a footfall ol' either rats or mice has been heard around the house. Every Spring a coat of yellow wash is given as a purifier, as a rat exterminator, and no typhoid, dysentery or fever attacks the family Many persons deliberately nt ^ract all the rats in the neighborhood by leaving the fruits and vegetables uncov ered in thc cellar, and sometimes even | the soap is left open for their regalement. Cover up everything eatable in the cellar and in thc pantry, and you will soon starve them out. These precautions, joined to tho services of a good cat, will prove as good a rat exterminator us the chemist can provide. We never allow rats to be poisoned in ourdwelling. They arc HO apt to die between thc walls anil produce annoyance. Thc Governor ol North Carolina said ta the Governor of South Carolina : "Sir, the best remedy in the world is Dr. Hull's Cough Syrup," and the Intter seconded thc assertion. - Ina recent speech in Congress, Mr. Armfield, of North Carolina, Bald that there had been levied on thc revenue officers in Iiis (the Charlotte) District for election purposes in 1S80 the aggregate sum of $29,036 ns a enmpnign fund. - Forty per cent, of the population of Dakota, uccordiug to thc census returns, aro foreigners. If these aro deducted from the total number, there is left a very slim fouudation on which to build tho structure of a State. It is against the genius of representative government to put the political power in the hands of eighty thousand people to checkmate live millions. Yet the two Senators from Dakota, if it is made a Stato, will have as potent a voice iu the government as the two Senators from New York. - It is stated as a fact, which the public may accept, that Jay Gould has absolute control of joint stock capital chiefly railroad-of at least six hundred million dollars. Not only tho market value of this immense amount of securi ties is nt tho mercy of one man's caprice, but also the management of the proper ties it is supposed to represent. Even besidcd the great enterprises among which tho foregoing vast sum is divided, Mr. (build has a controlling interest in many smaller matters of great variety. - Twenty-four young girls of Nevada City, California, in mockery of tho mili tary boys of the place, reccutly organ ized a broom brigade. They adopted a uniform dress trimmed with red, jaunty jacket?; and blue caps. Each curried no ordinary broom made fantastic with bits of red ribbon, and tho drill was highly entertaining. At last one of their num ber wiiH married nnd thu broom brigade escorted the bride from her father's house to thc railway station, tho bride's broom, trimmed in mourning goods, being car ried reversed at tho head of tho pro cession. - A good parson preached u scries of sermons on practical morality, mid very interesting and instructive they were. A Ind in the village who had heard only one of them was coming out of nn or? chard one day, his pockets bulging out with stolon fruit. He met the parson, who noticed his efforts to conceal the evidences of his guilt. "Have you been stealing apples?' ask.-., the rainistei. "Yes." answered the boy sheepishly. "And you aro trying to hido them from mo?" continued the good man. "Yes, sir," said the culprit, brightening up, "You said last Sunday that wc must avoid the appearance of evil."
