The business of the farmer demands a knowledge of the laws of nature so far as they relate to phenomena connected with the soil, plants, animals, insects and me* teorology. With a knowledge of these laws he can conduct all of his operations in conformity with them and thus attain success. All violations of these laws most cause discomfiture. No wise law? giver ever enacts a law without affising a penalty, and surely the Author of the laws governing, the material universe was too wise to omit so necessary an appendage or con sequen ce of violation. I The end of all agriculture production is animal consumption either as food or clothing for animals, man included. The factory which converts cotton into yarns as its finished product leaves the profit of converting these into cloth to another factory. Let us then regard all of our domestic animals as machines for the conversion of cheap vegetable matter into more valuable animal products, such as wool, beef, mutton, pork, milk, eggs, poultry, or in the cases of horses and mules?work. In this view the more vegetable snbstances utilized by these animal factories the greater the dividends declared to the owners of the factories. The tanner's first business is with tbe soil, the great storehouse of energy deriv? ed from the sun. Be must study the charaster and . needs of his soil with reference to both its physical condition and chemical constituents. He must see that the latter are present in character and qaantity to supply the demands of plants and the former is such that the roots of the plant may readily penetrate and gather the food necessary for build? ing up its organism. In the order of creation the earth was clothed with vegetation before animal life was ponsi bie. The same is true to-day, and more'; plants alone can organise tbe matters of dead earth and air into life. Tbe farmer, therefore, must learn the laws of plant growth and-nutrition and the conditions which.contribute most effectively to tbe fulfilment of the destiny to which man has devoted it. This involves skillful manipulation of the soil physically and chemically with special reference to e n a ble the plant to appropriate the material needed to its own advantage. Since plants take all their food either in solu? tion in waters as the vehicle or as gases, meteorological conditions are of prime importance. How then, shall we regard the plans? Certainly as a factory in which the crude material of soil is cov verted into more valuable vegetable products capable of being ul tili zed by man and beast. The conditions necessary for the suc? cessful operation of this-factory being supplied, it becomes self propelling?the physical, chemical and vital, forces co? operating to carry it forward to the fulfillment of its destiny. This destiny being fulfilled we have the raw material for supplying mechanical factories if .fibre is the finished product to which the plant is devoted?animal factories if a food product results. The soil, then, and air furnish the raw material for the plant and plans the raw. material for the animal factory, while the latter is devoted to supplying the maatexpiece of God's creation?man. The farm is incomplete without this last, aid, when properly handled, most profit? ably finishing .machine. This becomes especially apparent when we consider the fact that a by-product of this animal factory?the manure contributes in such important degree to the reproduction of its own raw material. Le- us take the sheep, for instance, to illustrate this point. Grass organizes the substances of soil and air into, food for the sheep, or, if used as hsy, into an article of commerce. If converted, into hay for market, costly labor must be ex? pended in hsw^ting, housing, baling -and "drawing to market If ultilized directly by the sheep we have further expense connected with it, but it is man? ufactured into wool and mutton by the animal which demands nothing at onr hands except an occasional ration of salt. If converted into hay for market, whoever purchases the hay must pay the grower, not only the cost of growing, but that of harvesting and marketing, and if the consumer lives at a distance from the hay field he must pay the cost of trans? portation and the merchants' profit besides. Now if he can afford to pay these charges in addition to the cost of growing the hay, and yet makes a profit by feeding it, surely be who ultizes the quiet sheep to manufacture bis bay in his fields should realize much more, since the manure, being returned to the soil, is only robbed of tbe plant-food sold in wool or mutton. Oor people do not seem to appreciate the fact that the conversion of all availa? ble material derived from the soil into the more valuable and compact animal pro? ducts without the intervention of so much costly human labor constitutes a most important factor in determ.ining.the question of success or failure. They do not sufficiently appreciate the fact that nearly, all of the nitrogen of the food consumed by a' grown animal and all of the phosphoric acid and potssh contain? ed in the food are excreted in the solid and liquid manure. One of the most culpable wastes of which any people were ever guilty is that of applying cotton seed and cotton seed meal as manure without first running them through the animal machine. Both are most valuable feed stuffs which would be equally valuable as manure after passing through the ani mal if the solid and liquid excreta were saved. Lawes estimates the value of tbe manure from a ton of cotton seed meal at $27 in England. The meal costs us here much less than that. It is true that it is not now practicable to feed the entire product of cotton seed in the South be? cause there are not enough stock to con? sume them. On many Southern plantations enough peas, potatoes and small grain is wasted to produce, if consumed by swine, enough bacon for the family of tbe proprietor, and enough hay dries in the fields, if harvested and fed in connection with cotton seed, to produce more value in beef and milk than.the cotton crop upon the plantation will bring after paying cost of production of tbe latter. We fail to utilize tbe very forces of nature which do our bidding most willingly and profit? ably. So true is this that the measure of success of the tillers of the soil in the South may be very accurately gauged by the attention given to stock-breeding. Stock on the farm often utilize with profit vegetable growths which would, unconsnmed, not only remain without profit, but prove a positive injury. Tbe most prosperous farmers are those who avail themselves of the animal factory to the fallest extent, and while the "cot ton-tot" is wearing out his land the stock farmer is annually and rapidly improving hisv The introduction of thoroughbred males all over the South would in two years double the value of live stock in that section. A Merino buck introduced to a flock of "native" ewes will raise the wool product in the offspring from two and a half to five pounds per annum per capita. A short-horn bull will add two hundred pounds to the two-year-old bullocks. J. S. Newman, Experimental Farm, Auburn, Ala. The Captain's Bevenge. . The history of California and tbe West I in the days of the gold fever of '49 can never be seriously portrayed, as an ele? ment of humor, more or less grim, enter? ed into the plans and operations of the pioneers. The situations at times were such that although undertaken in all good faith and sober earnestness, tbe outcome was so ridiculous that a plain historical statement of the facts in the case would fall flat The pioneers of those days afford a delightful contrast to the lugubrious "funny man" of to-day, who is proverbially of Bad and solemn aspect, whereas the frontiersmen would joke in the Very face of death. The following story, which is vouched for as being true, illustrates the politics of those days very well. When Portland, Oregon, boasted of only a single main street, the little stores were built with great glass show-w indo wb I which extended from the top of the one story building to tbe bottom, so that all that wan going on inside cbuld be clearly seen from the street. It happened that on a certain day an election was held in the town. A sea-captain whose vessel had just come bp from San Francisco stepped into one of the polling places, and with true American independence declared he would vote. His Whig principles, however, were not in favor I with the Democrats, who held the fort, and the result was that objections were j raised to his. asserting his right to vote, and the captain was finally conveyed to the door, very much against his will. The hardy sailor, a tall, well-built man, considered tbe advisability of "clearing the place oat," bat the counsels of a friend prevailed, and the captain walked back to bis veseel, where, after sundry potions, he fell asleep.. Early in the' evening he awoke, and announced that he was going up into the town again. His faithful ftiehd accompanied him to restrain any undue exhibition of animal spirits which might be the result of excessive use of another kind of spirits, and together they walked up the street As they proceeded on their way tbe pair came upon a store where with, at a long table, sat the victors in the recent contest, feasting. The captain watched them for a minute, and as he gazed his teeth began to rub together?a sure sign that his auger was rising. A small pig sauntered .leisurely down the street, picking up a precarious living from the gutter, and passed tbe captain. Suddenly the sailor stooped, and before his swineship could utter a squeal, a great fist closed over his snout, and another hand was under his haunches. One .'?two! ?three! (the porker, weighing fully ninety or a hun? dred pounds, swung to and fro like a pendulum)?four! crash! and tbe pig uttering the most frightful noises, broke through the glass landed in the centre of table, and cavorted down the board, sweeping the dishes before him like a whirlwind. "There!" exclaimed tue captain, in a relieved voice?"there?r, you, that's the kind of company you ought to keep ?"?Editor's Drawer, in Harper's Magazine for June. Seme figures About Steady Drinking^ "How msDy-iiTink? of whiskey do you average a day ?" said one gentleman to another, as they were enjoying a social glass at a resort on Cotton avenue yester? day afternoon. "Ob, taking the year round, I presume my average would be about ten a day." ' "And how long' has this been going on?" "Straight along for twenty years, I guess; but it never hurt me any, and I can attend to my business just as well as I ever could." "But how much whiskey, taking your own statemont for it, do you suppose you have druck during that time ?" "I'm sure I don't know. I never thooght about that." "Well, let us take another nip and then figure on it," and they did, and here is the result of their work: "Ten drinks a day would be 70 drinks a week, or 2,640 drinks in a year. In twenty years that would give the enor? mous number of 72,800 drinks. Now the average drink taken in this country is said to be 60 to a gallon. Then divide this 72,800 by 60, and you will find that you have consumed 1,213 and*a fraction gallons. Now, there are supposed to be, on the average, 36 gallons to a barrel. Divide 1,213 by 36, and you will find that you have drank just about 36 barrels of the stuff." The old toper looked at the figures and then at his friend, and then remarked : "Well, let's take one more, and then I think I'll give my stomach a rest for a t day or two." Generally the Case. The larger the clergyman's family tbe smaller his salary. The homelier tbe woman the more conspicuously she dresses. The poorer tbe man the more dogs he owns.

I For sale by Simpson, Heid & es., Hanging from a Bridge 100 Feet High. j. G. Caldwell, who lives on Washing? ton avenue, near Elliott street, Woodside, N? J., had a terrible adventure last night on. the Midland Bridge. Mr. Caldwell is a drummer for a New York house. His friends warned him of the risk attending any attempt to croas the bridge, which is over a hundred feet high, but he finally started to walk home. He got as far as the centre of the bridge, when he heard the noise of an approaching freight train. It was evident to him that the engineer did not see him, for the train did not slacken speed. Mr. Caldwell was in a terrible plight. His remarkable presence of mind and strength saved him from the death that seemed to await him. The bridge ap? peared to him to be narrower, he Bays, than at any other time when he had crossed it, although he was always aware that it was not intended to accommodate foot passengers. He saw that there was not space sufficient beyond the ties on the trestlework for him to stand while the train passed. He also realized that to lie down was not a means to escape, as the steps of the cars would dash his brains out. He decided to depend on his muscles to save him, and being an ath? lete he hastily crawled to the Bide of the bridge, seizing a large tie with vice like grip and swung in the air 100 feet above the water. The few seconds occupied by the train in passing seemed to Caldwell like an age. After the train had passed he found that his hands were numb, and bis strength seemed to forsake him, yet with remarkable nerve and superhuman strength he finally drew himself on tbe bridge and proceeded homeward, coat leBS and without a hat.?New York Star, 26lh. The Probable Origin of His Name. There is no doubt or ambiguity with regard to the earliest part of Judas Iscar iot's name. Judas is merely the Greek or Hellenistic form of the Hebrew "Ju dah," familiar to everybody. But "Is cariot" id, as it has always been, a puzzle. At least half a dozen interpretations of the word have been suggested by philologists, but no one of them .is in all respects satisfactory. The most seeming of their number is that the word is a condensed or corrupted form of the two Hebrew words "Ish Karioth/' meaning ".the man of Karioth," Karioth being a village in Southern Palestine, where per? haps Judas or hio family had their origi? nal. The name, however, is of no consequence for our present purposes; and we have remarked it only to show the mystery attaching to the man in every phase of his surroundings. With regard to his birth, legend and myth are as copious as in conjecture with regard to his name. Here are two of them, for which we are immediately indebted to Moucure Conway: In the apocryphal "Gospel of tbe in? fancy," it is related that a demonical boy, brought to the child Jesus, strikes him whereupon Jesus weeps, and Satan comes out of the boy in the shape of a furious dog. This boy was Judas. According to another legend, Judas' mother had a dream before his birth that her son would murder his father and sell his God. To avert this the child was sunk in the sea, but was cast on sbore. He was adopted by a king and queen, who had a son, whom Judas slew. He fled to Judea, became the page of Pilate, and after the predestined murder of his father, learned from his mother her dream. In terror and contrition Judas bears of a prophet who forgive sins; when he throws himself at his feet, Jesus, recognizing his predestined betrayer, accepts him as a disciple, and intrusts him with the purse so that Judas' avarice might be excited and tbe plan of salva? tion not fail. Judas thus became heir apparent to the infernal throne, and in jnural pictures of Eastern churches he "appears seated on the knees of a majestic Satan.?New Orkane States. Sherman Is Discouraged, Washington, May 15.?Senator Sher? man talks about politics among his friends with more freedom than he would in? dulge in in addressing the public by means of a speech or an interview. He is reported to have expressed to some friends within a few days considerable discouragement at tbe prospect both as to his party and as to himself. He regret? ted deeply that the Presidential campaign had been pitched on the Southern issue. He said the people in New York didn't care whether the negroes in the South voted or not; on the whole they rather preferred that tbe negroes should not vote. What the people in New York wanted was businets. They wanted tbe South to prosper. The South had better government and more order and more credit and offered a more attractive field for enterprise with the white people in control, and consequently. New Yorkers were not going to exert themselves vio? lently in behalf ot the Republican party if the only purpose ot that party wa3 to create disorder in the South and interfere with its commercial development and try to get the political power of tbe South into the hands of the colored voters. This being tbe view of tbe business Republicans in New York Mr. Sherman had no expectation that the Republi? can party would carry New York. Indi? ana was tbe proper field for the Repub? licans to work this year. New Jersey was to be fought for on tbe tariff issue, and Mr. Sherman was hopeful of captur? ing it. New York might as well be given up, the States that usually are Republi? can the party will pull through. If, as Senator Sherman indicates, the Republicans concentrate the fight on In? diana, they will put Ben Harrison pre? sumably on the ticket, and the other place on the ticket will be filled from the East, and Mr. Shermam will not get the Presidential nomination. If the Repub? licans had left the negro alone and re? frained from investigating that municipal election in Mississippi, and manifested more solicitude about the development of Southern manufacturing industries by meaus of a high tariff and less solicitude about the negroes who don't vote or who vote the Democratic ticket, and bad, in short, taken the Senator's Nashville speech instead of his Springfield speech as its platform, the astute Senator would have seen in New York the true battle? ground for the Republican party, and would have recogoized in himself the proper person to bring business interests to the support of the Republican ticket. ?

C, May 18?An extra? ordinary homicide is reported from a remote section of Williamsburg county, this State. M. W. Dennis, a white man, was conversing after supper with bis wife, and they, after awhile, got to quarreling. Dennis became greatly excited, and attempted to give his wife a genuine whipping. She remonstrated, but he continued his endeavor, and she then proceeded to defend herself. Happening to have in her lap a piece of iron, she used it in her own defense, striking him on his head and killing him instantly. Cleveland, 0., May 20.?Mrs. Eliza? beth Lewis and her three grand children were smothered to death last night, at the house of William Llewellyn, Hoad ley Btreet. Mr. and Mrs Llewellyn were away from home during tbe evening, leaving their children in charge of Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Llewellyn's mother. Shortly before midnight, the house took fire and was partially. destroyed. When the flames had been extinguished Llewellyn and bis wife returned, and it was discov? ered that the occupants of the house had perished. The children were aged six, four years and eighteen months, respec? tively. Carthage, III., May 18.?Mrs. Ida M. Wright, the bride of Silas M. Wright, was found hanging in the smokehouse near their home at Fountain Green last evening by her husband, who has been absent from home since Monday. Upon discovering the body the horrified hus? band fainted and lay in a stupor for several hours. The body was cut down by neighbors, if letter written by her was found, in which she bade her husband good bye, and eaid she should hang her? self because she believed she would be happier dead than to live with a drunk? ard. Wright had come home intoxicated on one or two occasions, and that fact is supposed to have worked upon his wife's mind and driven her to suicide. Raleigh, N. C, May 18.?There was a very singular suicide at the town of Hickory, Tuesday. A young m?n named W. H. Riles, took two ounces of laud? anum, went to bis room in the hotel and locked himself up. He was found dead a little later. It has been discovered that the last week he was at the town of Statesville, and was driving a buggy. Beside him was a young lady, his cousin. Tbe horse ran away, both were thrown out and the young lady's injuries were of such a character as to cause her death Sunday. Riles was entirely overcome by the news of her death, and though it was in no way due to carelessness on his part, he became convinced that it was. He said that he would end his life and carried out tbe threat. The President Envies one Man. Bangob, Me., May 16.?A few days ago F. W. Ayer landed at the fishing grounds a magnificent salmon which tipped the scales at twenty-seven pounds. It was tbe largest ever taken with a fly on the Penobscot, and one of tbe finest specimene of the king of the fish world ever seen here. Mr. J. P. Bass of this city pur? chased the salmon and sent it by express to President Cleveland, and has received the following in acknowledgment: "My Dear Sir: Please accept my thanks for the beautiful salmon I receiv? ed from you a day or two ago. You say it is the largest one ever taken with a fly on the river. I think, upon my experi? mental knowledge of its delicacy, I shall be willing to assert that it is also the besl fish ever caught in the river. I suppose I ought not to take more than the oppor? tunity you have offered me of capturing my share of tbe fish when served upon tbe table, but I am mean enough to envy the man who caught it Yours very truly, Gbovee Cleveland. ? Ex-Govnor Rufus B. Bullock, ol Georgia,, is persistent in season and out of season in advocating as a Republican policy the dropping of what he calls the "Negrophobia question." In a recenl chat in New York he said: "The Repub? lican party makes a great mistake when it fails to recognize the strength of preju? dice, born, bred and ingrained, as the prejudice against the negro is ingrained with the white people of the South, Yon can go to the business man in Atlanta, whose business is or will be affected by tbe Mills tariff bill, and he will admit to you that he thinks the Republican party is right on pretection. But when he hears speeches like those made by Sher? man and Ingalls and Foraker, he recoils and pulls himself together and says that the Republican party wants to put tbe negro on an equal footing in his parlor and ? -house with his fami )y ami -friends. There he stubbornly casts bis veto, as he believes, against what he calls the 'nigger party,' even while acknowledging that his personal business interest lies with that party. If tbe Republican National Con? vention will make one plank and sweep all other issues aside, except the tariff, it can carry some Southern States, but as long as the 'bloody-shirt' continues to wave, so long the South will remain sol? id." A Famous Doctor Oace said that the secret of good health eoasisted in keeping the head cool, the fest warm, and the howels open. Had this eminent physician lived in our day, and knewn the merits of Ayer's Pills as an ajerient, he would certainly have rcoomxnended them, as so many of his distinguished successors are doing. The celebrated Dr. Farnsworth, * of Norwich, Conn., recommends Ayer's Fills as the hest of all remedies for " Intermittent Fevers." Dr. L E. Fowler, .of Bridgeport, Conn., says: "Ayer's Fills are highly and universally spoken of by the people about here. I make daily use of them in my practice." Dr. Mayhew, of Now Bedford, Mass., says: " Having prescribed many thou? sands of Ayer's Pills, in my practice, I can unhesitatingly pronounce them the best cathartic in use." The Massachusetts Slate Assayer, Dr. A. A. Hayes, certifies: 41 have made a careful analysis of Ayer's Pills. They contain the active principles of well known drugs, isolated from inert mat? ter, which plan is, e'.iemioally speaking, of great importance to their usefulness. It insures activity, certainty, and uni? formity of effect. Ayer's Pills contain no metallic or mineral substance, but the virtues of vegetable remedies in skillful combination."

They feel dull. I and sleepy; the moiith has a bad taste, especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach; sometimes a faint, all gone sensation at the pit oithe stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and clammy. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is attend? ed with a greenish-colored ex pectoration. The.patient feels tired all the . while, and sleep doejr not seem to afford any rest After ? time he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirl? ing sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bow? els become costive; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the Whrfces of the eyes become tinged with yellow; the urine is scanty and high colored, de? positing^ sediment after stand? ing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food, some ? times with a sour taste and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is frequently at* r tended with palpitation of the heart; the vision becomes im \ paired, with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling of great prostration and weakness.. All of these symptoms are vb turn present. It is thotight fchat nearly. one-third ?? our popu > lation has this disease in some 11 of its varied forms. 11 It has been found that phy? sicians have mistaken the cause \1 of this disease. Some have ? treated it for a liver complaint, j others for kidney disease, etc., etc., but none of these kinds of ' treatment have been attended . with, success; for it is really ' L constipation and dyspepsia. It j is also found that Shaker Ex t tract of Roots, or Mother Sei ? gel's Curative Syrup, when \ properly prepared will remove 11 this disease in all its stages. ' I Care must be taken, however, to secure the genuine article, I IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN f I COTTON. if Mr. John C. HemptinstaD, J1 of Chulafirmee, Cleburn Ca, t| Ala., writes: "My wife has ? j been so much benefited by ! I Shaker Extract of Itoota or 11 Seigel's Syrup that she says [ j she would rather be without , I part of her food than without I the medicine.
