THE CULTURE OF THE GRAPE. Valuable Dints on the Proper Summer Pruning. Greenville, April 2G.?In the skil? ful management of the vine at the begin? ning of the growing season lies in great part the success of the vine dresser. A few hints upon Summer pruning may be of some advantage to those not initiated into the secrets of growing the grape. Correct instructions could hardly be given in grape culture without a seeming pur? loining of ideas from that most excellent work on the subject, Husmanu's "Grape growing and Wine-making." Granting the reader permission, therefore, to believe that the suggestions here made are taken from Husraann, or that the information has been acquired by experi? ence or by constant contact with grape growers and a consequent general knowN edge of the business, or from all these sources, which is really the ca?e, I will, for the benefit of beginners who are dis? tressed with the question of what to do at this time, give the promised aid, and add only that the methods laid down, which are purely Husmann's in principle, arc practiced here by successful grape producers, who would probably meet with still greater success were they to follow Hu3inann's instructions more closely and attentively. A mau raised to cotton planting, and the ordinary slip? shod farming of tins State and date?or I might say of the recent past, for there are here and there signs of great im? provement in the common methods of farming?does not "tumble," so to speak, to the exacting and unerring rules of the scientific pomologist, who views the work from a scientific as well as an artis? tic slaudpoint. the time for pruning. We find the vine is at thia time pruned and tied, and the young shoots, out from six to fifteen inches in length, laden with forms or embryo bunches of fruit. Sum? mer pruning is at hand. It is done with the thumb aud forefinger. It will be newly acquired information to some peo? ple to learn that a young and tender growing shoot will not bleed when cut or pinched. If last year's growth of wood is cut or broken (of course it cannot be pinched) it will bleed greatly and the vine will be seriously injured. The young shoots are growing vigorously, and the vine-dresser must use his judgmeut, before he begins to Summer-prune a vine, as to the quantity of fruit it is old enough and vigorous enough to mature and ripen into palatable or marketable grapes. A vineyard four years old and properly managed will produce in a fair average crop an average of ten pounds of ripe fruit per vine. Twenty to thirty pounds, and often more, is not uncommon, but a grape-grower of good judgment and ex? perience will say that more than ten pounds, as an average, will be overtaxing the energies of the vine, and the over? production will be at the expense of next } ear's crop. a safe yield for a vine. A few strong, well-grown healthy vines of very vigorous and strong-growing ? varieties, such as OoDCOrd, Clinton, Brighton, &c., may mature as many as twenty pounds in a single crop with safety. The question of about how much fruit a vine shall be permitted to carry must be decided before the Summer prun? ing or pinching begins. Bunches or clusters of grapes as they are gathered will average about one-fourth of a pound in weight. The fewer the bunches the heavier they are likely to be and the better the quality of the fruit, unless a too severe pinching back and thinning out of the growing vine is resorted to> which will check the viue too suddenly, probably disturb its growth and cause it to put out quite a bramble of new shoots with a second and imperfect crop of fruit Say four bunches to the pound, then, and begin. how to prune. Pinch off the tip end of the growing shoots beyond the third, fourth or fifth well-shaped and good-sized bunch of fruit, according to the quantity to be left on the vine. But hold I hold 1 You want to leave Bome canes unpinched to grow into bearing wood for next year. Select these shools now. Select healthy shoots that come out low down on the vine, as they will make a stronger growth than those higher up, or select them where suits you best, according to your manner of training. These canes, in? tended to bear uext year's crop of fruit, should be allowed to grow unchecked until they are about three feet long. Then they should be pinched off at the tip for the purpose of forcing out the laterals or side shoots, which will soon make their appearance at every joint along' the cane if they have not already done so. These side shoots or laterals are the canes to produce next year's fruit upon, as it seems to be a settled conclusion among advanced grape culturists that laterals produce finer fruit than the main canes out of which the laterals grow. The method of cutting away the laterals in Fall or Winter pruning, aud of pro? ducing the fruit on canes that come out of the main cane at the base of the later? al, is fast falling into disuse since the discovery that laterals produce the best fruit. Many columns could here follow on the different methods of training the vine aud upon its general management. The object of this letter, however, is to humbly suggest a plan of management for the present emergency. Our crop of canes for the next year's fruiting we have disposed of for the present. But I may add that these canes so left for next year's use may be allowed to carry and mature one, two or three bunches of grapes at or near their base?the point from which they started out of the old cane a few weeks ago. Take these few bunches into your calculation and pinch the shoots ou which we have this year's fruit accordingly. The safer policy is to have too little rather than too much fruit. Forty bunches, we will say, will make ten pounds of fruit if properly ripened. Select your embryo bunches of fruit. If there be a dwarfy, imperfect bunch among those you would leave to ripen, pinch it out. Do this before you pinch offtho tip, aud leave another in its stead further toward the tip. See how many bearing shoots you have on the vine. If you have twenty, four bunches to the shoot will produce you twenty poundfc of fruit on the vines. Leave the leaf that is opposite the last bunch you l?t remain. Some go a joint beyond and leave anoth- I er leaf, but this is thought to be unneces? sary. Treat every bearing shoot in the manner described, except those you in? tend for next year's use, and the first part of your Summer pruning is done. Very soon afterwards, however, the laterals on your bearing shoots will begin to appear. They must be pinched out. Pinch them off beyond the first leaf at the base,' leaving this Srst leaf on the young lateral to perform its natural functions, that is, to afford a partial shade to the fruit which is near it, and do its indescribable work of elaborating the sap for the bene? fit of fruit aud vine. But one shoot should be allowed to remain where two or three come out together. Look to this in your first pinching. Select the most vigorous one and rub out the others. Apply this rule to bearing shoots, and also to those intended for next year. On these next year canes leave the laterals to grow as stout as they will, the stronger the better. Throughout the whole pro? cess pinch out every tendril that is not doing service in holding up the vines. They are useless, except when so serving, and will be greatly in the way. Close and careful attention is the watchword, and, as said by Mr. Husmanu, a vast deal of labor cau be saved by doing every? thing at the proper time. VINEYARD WORK FOR THE SUMMER. The suggestions above made cover nearly all that is tu be done iu Summer, and are for vineyards wherein the vines are trained to stakes or upon a wire trel? lis, and where Fall pruning has left the vine cut back to within from three to five or six feet of the grouud. The same general rules will apply, however, to grapes trained upon arbors, which is the common practice of those who have but a few vines upon which to grow fruit for domestic use.? Correspondence of the News and Courier. Ploughing. Fanners as a general rule, do not take pains enough with this part of their farm work. I am convinced that I can get more clear cash from an acre that is well ploughed than I can from an acre that is only half ploughed. What I j mean by half ploughed is where it is ploughed by guess, deep here and shallow there, wide furrow here and a narrow one there, with the furrows standing on edge, or turned over very fiat. We can do good ploughing just as easily and just as fast as we can hog it over. The first thing in good ploughing is to commence right. In marking out a bed I use. two stakes, one at the opposite end of the field from which . I begin to plough and the other about eight rods from this toward the end where I begin. Get the slakes in line with the furrow where you start, and then take some ob? ject way beyond the first stake you set, in exact line with the stakes and furrow where you begin, and then go ahead with the plough until you come to the first stake. Stop and take the stake down and lay it to one side out of the way, and then go ahead again, taking the end stake and the object beyond for your guide. In ploughing the first two times around set your plough wheel so as not to plough more than four and one half inches deep. After you have gone thus far, raise your wheel so as to plough the depth you wish to have your plough? ing done. By doing as I have described we avoid the high back furrow we would have if we ploughed the first two times around as deep as we do the rest of the bed. In ploughing the first two furrows (the first time around) we have two essentials to look after. First, to do our plough? ing straight; second, to turn the fur? rows over in good shape, and have the edges of furrows meet and set firmly together. This will prevent the gras3 from growing up between the furrows to a gieat extent. Now we can go ahead and finish up our bed. Be sure to keep the furrows straight and the same width the entire length of the field. If you hold your plough firm and steady your furrows will be as straight as a line. Keep your beds the same width at both ends of the field and theu when we come to finish we have only one furrow the en? tire- length of the field to turn out. This, I think, is much better than to have one end finished and from one to five furrows on the other end to turn out yet. Right here I would like to say a word which I consider very important in doing a good job of ploughing. It is this: I consider it very essential that the driver and team understand each other pietly well. If you have a good, strong, well-kept team, and one that is steady and true to pull, I see no reason why wc can't do our ploughing in a workmanlike manner. Superphosphates. The American Cultivator thinks it is doubtful if there was ever a business in which more frauds have been perpetrated in a given time than in the manufacture of superphosphates. Thousands of tons have been sold for superphosphates when not a single atom was what it was claimed to be. Many ingenious devices have been resorted to in order to deceive the farmer, e. g., fish guano, a medium fertilizer worth perhaps ?14 a ton, was at one time compounded with animal char? coal, to give it a darker appearance, and then sold for $80 a ton as a superphos? phate, when not a drop of sulphuric acid had touched it. A chemical analysis is, of course, the proper resort if you seek any extensive information concerning the genuineness of the fertilizer ; but there is a rougher and much cheaper one which has had the sanction of Professor Stockbridge, namely, to place a little in warm water, when, if the fertilizer is genuine, it will be so far dissolved that about one-half i will settle as sediment, aud the water will have an acid taste. It is not true that "the worst smelling is the best fertilizer;" something different from olfactory nerves must be brought into requisition. Super? phosphate can be cheaply and easily pre? pared by pouring upon pulverized bone sulphuric acid diluted by adding a bucket of water to every fifty pounds. The mixture should be stirred with a hoe; the effervescence will cease in a few minutes. The superphosphate will be ready for use in twenly-four hours. Bones cannot be decomposed by the use of sulphuric acid without pulveriz? ing, for the acid unites with the surface of the bone, forming a coating which is not penetrated. We have never consid? ered it practical for the average farmer to engage in the manufacture of super? phosphates. It is better to buy them of regular dealers of reputation aud com? mercial .standing. Beware of purchasing fertilizers of unknown parties, whose ad? vertisements are never seen in your farm journals. There are dealers whose busi? ness will not bear the sunlight of the agricultural weekly. If a dealer has a I Standard and valuable fertilizer for sale he will not be afraid to advertise it the regular way. South Pacific Savages. Tho inhabitants of the far South Pa? cific coast islands are in many respects strange human beings, and not the least singular fact in connection with them is their manner and custom of life, both in the domestic circle and when battling with other tribes. Some G,000 miles from this city is the Marshall group of Islands, the inhabitants of which are conspicuous for their warlike propensi? ties, great size, and gigantic strength, together with other traits of strongly original character, and regarding whom little or nothing is known in the civilized world. A few days ago the three-masted schooner John Hancock returned from a trading cruise to the Gibe and Marshall groups and the master of the vessel, Captain William Chapman, secured a valuable collection of curiosities in the shape of war clubs, spear*, boat paddles, shells, etc. With Captain Chapman, as a passenger, was a young man, S. F. Gray, connected with the house of A. Crawford & Co., of this city, who, during his visit to the islands, gained much in? teresting information concerning the islands and their inhabitants. The natives are large and powerful. They are not unlike the New Zealanders, being of a dark, copper-colored complex? ion. In addition to a natural inclination for warfare, they are very treacherous, and in some portions of the group are cannibals. Their main occupation is like that of the Indian, loafing and picking cocoanuts, which are prepared and shipped to this country with consid? erable profit. When not engaged in harvesting the cocoanut crop or loafing about on the ocean in a dug out canoe, the Marshall islander puts in his time carviDg grotesque figures on canoe pad? dles and in whittling out murderous looking war clubs, spears, arrows and otber similar weapons. In carving they display great ingenuity, and while the figures as shown on the paddles are not exactly pretty, they aro very intricate, and are not unlike similar work done in China. Tho figures on the paddle rep? resented idols, and according to the islander's belief, if upon his boat paddle there is carved a figure of an idol he can safely navigate anywhere. In this con? nection it may be well to state that these islanders are the boldest and most skill? ful canoe navigators in the Pacific. They make voyages extending over many months, trusting to Providence, or rather rain, to supply them with fresh water. They navigate by means of a chart com? posed of small sticks tied together and representing the position of the various islands as regards the point of departure. In warfare their weapons consist of clubs, spears and arrows, all of which they use with the greatest skill and accu? racy. The clubs are made of irouwood, and are very heavy. They are of various shapes, the most murderous being the gnarled root of the ironwood tree. The other clubs are of lighter character. The arrows are made of light bamboo, the points being of ironwood. The spears are also made out of the same kind of timber and run down to a fine point, which is tipped with a poisonous preparation. The feather end is fantas? tic aud gaudy, a regular bouquet of feath? ers plucked from the rarest birds being used and blcuded together with a strict regard for colors. The islanders, particularly in the vicin? ity of New Ireland, have no particular love for the whites, and it is not an in? frequent occurreuce to find some settler lying in front of his door dead. It is the work of some native, who, haviug be? come offended at the white man, has lain in wait and killed him. As a race they are very prolific, aud it is not an uncommon thing, do Mr. Gray states, to see from fifteen to twenty children in each house, the offspring of one woman. The natives do not tolerate polygamy, and after marriage the women are famous for their fidelity. A sort of a siave traffic exists throughout the islands, though, any single women can be pur? chased for servants and concubines for a mere trifle. Clothing is a thing un? known in most of the islands. In and about New Britain aud Ireland, however, the brecch-cloth is used.?San Francisco Examiner. The Eagle und its Prey. In hunting for their prey, the eagle and his mate mutually assist each other. It may here be mentioned that the eagles are all monogamous, keeping themselves to a single mate aud living together in the most, perfect harmony through their lives. . Should, however, one of them die or be killed, the survivor is not long left iu a slate of widowhood, but ban? ished from the spot for a few days and then returns with a new mate. It is a rather remarkable fact, that, whereas tho vultures feed their young by disgorging the food which they have taken into their crops, the eagles carry their prey to their nests and there tear it to pieces, and feed the eaglets with the morsels. When in pursuit of its prey it is a most audacious bird, having been seen to carry off a hare from before the noses of the hounds. It is a keen fisherman, catching and securing salmon and various sea fish with singular skill. Sometimes it has met with more than ils match, and has seized upon a fish that was too heavy for its powers, thus falling a victim to its sporting propensities. .Mr. Lloyd men? tions several instances where eagles have been drowned by pouncing upon large pike, which carried their assailants under water and fairly drowned them. In more than one instance the feet of an eagle have been seen firmly clinched in the pike's back, the body of the bird having decayed and fallen away." ? Considerable interest attaches to the results attained by various American and foreign scientists in their attempts to ascertain, by careful and prolonged ob? servations ihedaily increase of the earth's mass from the falling upon it of meteors and cosmical dust. Briefly, these obser- ' vatious indicate that about four huwKd and fifty thousand meteors fall upon the BUrface of the whole earth every hour, the average weight of those bodies being about five grains each, the total represen? ting nearly five thousand pounds per hour, or a fraction short of sixty tons every twenty-four hour:-. It is remarked that such an amount of material falling ! thus daily is certainly no small increase ' to tho earth's mass, and (or this incre.i.so i the earth's attraction is considered re- j sponsible to the extent of twenty per cent.; the balance of eighty per cent., it is alleged, would be increased each hour by ii globe the size of the earth, even if it had uo attraction. Au Exprcssmau's Story. "I was an expressman on the Mobile and Montgomery railroad. It was just after a terrible robbery in the west, in which the expressman had been horribly murdered. I made the trip from Mobile to Montgomery at night. When the train started, I had in my car throe coffins each containing a corpse, and in a sack attached to a hook the carcass of a hog. Perhaps you don't know what it is to be lonesome? Well, if you don't, just try riding in an express car with three dead men and a dead hog for company. The night of which I speak I had a through run, and as I had no work to do, soon grew tired and sleepy. I spread a coat upon the floor of the car, and stretched myself upon it and was soon soundly slumbering. About midnight I rolled into an uncomfortable* position, and began to dream. You never con? ceived of such horrors aa those that pre? sented themselves to me. I dreamed that the'car was full of robbers, and that they were shooting twenty balls into my body every minute. A suddenjolt of the car turned me over, aud I awoke. The car was as dark as midnight. The lamp had gone out while I slept. I lay a few moments half dazed, and then put out my right hand preparatory to getting up. I touched what I thought to be the smooth flesh of a man's face. Talk about fright, but I was so badly frightened that my heart actually worked its way by jumps, straight up to my mouth, and I had to grind my teeth together to keep it from jumping out upon the floor. I didn't know what to do, and I didn't know what the man lying by my side was going to do. I was satisfied, of course, that I had to deal with a desper? ate robber, and, a.s my pistol was in a desk out of my reach, I thought that my hours were numbered. But the man didn't move, and after a while I got up and stole to the door. I was afraid to open it. I thought that if I did I would certainly be shot in the back. I began to whistle. Then I took a match from my pocket and mentally discussed the advisability of lighting it. I toyed with it several moments, and then suddenly scraped it against the door. It blazed up quickly but Dobody fired at me. I slow? ly turned my head and looked back over my left shoulder. Well, sir, I beheld a sight that made me so mad that I havn't gotten over it yet. Down on the coat I had spread upon the floor lay the carcass of the hog. The miserable bunch of pork had fallen out of the sack and had been my bed fellow nobody knows how long. That was the first and only en? counter I ever had with express robbers." The Pitiless Cyclone. Whence it eometh or whither it goeth no mau can tell. It lurks in no particu? lar latitude or longitude ; it is partial to no section or season ; it regards neither station nor condition ; it respects neither morals nor manners; it swoops without warning, and its path is marked by deso? lation and death. No man is strong enough or swift enough to escape its fury; no mother may supplicate its mercy; no babe so innocent or so help? less that it can command from heaven or earth protection from its relentless and indiscriminate wrath. Temples of wor? ship, places of vice, haunts of misery, asylums for the sick arc leveled alike and among the dead, the strong and the weak, the old and the young, the sinful and the sainted lie side by side.

Heretofore the treatment of nearly all these diseases has been very uusatisfac toiy and unsuccessful, and the people have been very much deceived by pre? tended remedies. A majority are caused by an impure, .vitiated condition of the blood, and as most of the blood remedies of the day require 50 to 100 bottles be? fore you discover that they will not effect a cure, we offer B. B. B., which makes positive cures by the use of only a few bottles. The most common of the skin diseases which are nured by the use of B. B. B., the only quick Blood Purifier, are as follows: Eczema, Old Ulcers,, Impetigo, Abscesses, Erysipelas, Dry Tetter, Ringworm, Carbuncles, Scaldhead, Itchiug Humors, Pruritus, Blotches, Old Sores, Herpes, Pimples, Boils, Itch, Splotche?. Bcnutilul Complexion is sought by the use of cosmetics and all sorts of external applications, some of tbera being poisonous. All females love to look pretty (which gentlemen do uot object to) and a smooth, soft, clear complexion adds greatly to female cliarms. The use of B. B. B. will purify your blood, will remove blotches, splotches and bumps that appear upon the face and neck, and will tinge the pale cheek with the roseate hues of nature. One or two bottles will convince any one of its value. No family should fail to keep B. B. B. in the house, as there is no family medicine its equal. IthcBjm:ili.sm. One author says: "Rhumatism is due to the presence in the blood of a vegeta? ble organism of defiuite characters." Another says: "It is due to the pres? ence of a poison in the blood which is of the nature of a miasm." The disease having its origin in the blood, it is reasonable to s oppose that it must be cured by remed es directed to the blood. A successful remedy must produce certain changes in the composi? tion of the blood, and whei. this has been accomplished, all pain, swelling and stiff? ness of the joints subside. This accounts for the reason why ex? ternal applications fail to produce perma? nent relief. But we now have the reme? dy which aots like magic in giving relief to all forms of rheumatism, rheumatic gout, rheumatism of the joints, muscles and heart.
