Most Fertile Region In Africa. ie famous Bed Biver Valley is by I students of such comparative values to be third agricultural region, ittt of fertility, in the world, there one Asiatic and one African valley ^foreground beyond it. This Bed ? Valley takes in many counties of inaaota and the most easterly counties two Dakotas. It is prairie land of soil that once formed the bed or sit of an ancient Bea. It reaches up Canada, beyond Winnipeg, and is a deal richer at its southern end in ; "United Siates than in Canada. This ion pours its wealth of grain (or a part of it) into Minnesota's twin there to exchange it for merchau ; Other cereals and cattle are pro si; beyond this valley in the new a, and the valley itself returns the & commodities along with its wonder ^output of wheat. In the extra fruitful r just Closed?wonderful fou its crops "for the world-wide demand for from this country?the pre-, ions that were based upon the results ie sale of the crops seem, fabulous, ^instance, it was boasted that- the lers of the Northwest would make icient profits to pay all their morV this year. a in the Eed Biver Valley that one ay hear of a farmer whose profits last close to $80,000; it is there ? men bought farms of great extent, jecting to pay for them in an indefi number of ye are, and then paid for Tout of the first crop raised upon the jj the wonderful yield of last year, k is tlie region at the'very doors of j. twin cities of the Northwest.

In what story of ifairy ad is there an account of a literal fiel' to equal that? ' There are 8,882,000 acres in the valley, id less than a quarter of it was in crop year. If every acre were put into sat? there would be no market for the it would become a drug. As it ?; of the portion that is under cultiva on;- only about three quartrrs were in 'seat and the yield of last year wr i eatimatd at from 80,000,000 to 87,000,000 vbushels, grown at f.he average proportion of 20-bushels to the acre. The wheat p of the valley, therefore, fetched )u?,$27,000.000. At 80 cents a bushel, each acre returned $16, at a cost of fvom to $8. Good land has produced 81 shsis to too acre, and good land farmed ientifically hasjielded as high as 47 f/bhshelsto the acre, but 20 bushels is, the average product, and the farmer isenti led to.a profit of $10 an acre, with prices as they were last year. Matured farming will raise the yield to an average of 25 |j)nj?hels an acre.?Harper's Magazine. One'Girl's Work. 'A few years ago a little girl applied to a pastor in one of our large cities for Admission into his Sunday School. She -. was told that the classes were so ful3 that there wa?,no room for her, and that the Church was so small that no more classes could be organized. Much disappointed, the little girl began to save pennies?her .famSry was poor?for the purpose of en? ilarging the church in order that she and .other children like her might be accom -.modated. She told no one of her am? bitious purpose, however, so that when I the pastor of this church was called to ? her bedside a few months later, to com? fort her in her severe illness, he saw .nothing unusual, only a fair child of six ^andrbfleihalf years. ? The 'little sufferer died, and a week there were found in her battered pocket book, which had been her ivings bani, fifty-seven pennies, and a ip of p-.per that told, in childish it, the story of her ambition and the of her self-denial, story of that little red pocket book id itsiebatauts, and of the unfaltering 1th of its little owner, got abroad.

An attempt was made on Wednes? day night, February 24th, to assassinate John McDonnough, the Mayor of Sa? vannah. The Mayor has been extreme? ly severe on evil doers recently and they desire to resort to assassination as a means of getting rid of him. Late on the night in question, two negroes called at his home with an alleged message to the effect that his presence was desired at police headquarters. Mr. McDonnough did not believe the story and did not go out. Next- day one of the negroes was arrested, and he confessed that he had been given $50 for his efforts to get the Mayor out of bis house. Though tbe principals are unknown, it is believed tost they were lying outside, ready to shoot Mr. McDonnough the moment he made bh appearance. Mountains of North Carolina. I have seen the grand mountain views of every part of oar continent east of the Sierra Nevadas, and most testify that there is no mountain scenery this side of the Rocky Mountains that equals or even approaches the grandeur of the varied views presented at Asheville, N. C. From the southern portico of the Kenilworth Inn can be seen fully forty mountain peaks and domes', all of which are higher than Mount Washington or any other Mountain elevation east of the Bockier. Here is a complete circle of broken Mountains as far as the eye can reach, with Mount Misswell nestling among a family of undulating cliffs away off to? ward the rising sun, kissing the chilly breeze at an altitude of 6,711 feet above the sea, and directly toward the setting sun, more than one hnndred miles dis? tant, is Mount Fisgah, with its beauti? fully rounded dome towering over its neighboring peaks, throwing long shad? ows over the 'oo thills and valleys below. Such a pan ?-"na of veriegated mountain scenery is no. . i seen elsewhere in all our boasted Bine iuidge and Appalachian ranges, or in all the varied rugged scene? ry of the White Mountains of New Eng? land. Asheville and its surroundings are a revelation to all when this matchless mountain view breaks upon them. It is now a hive of industry aa well as the Mecca of pleasure and health seekers in the South. I'S altitude ranges from 2, 400 to 3,000 feet above tide water. The city, .with its permanent population of 5, 000, is the County seat of tbe famous County of Buncombe, and it is surround? ed by innumerable.broken hills with fre? quent sharply jotting peaks, all adorned by beautiful residences, while across the Swannanoa (the Indian term for beauti? ful river) is an enchanting view of min? gled foothill farms and broken moun? tains. One prominent elevation, some, three miles from the river, is the center of the magnificent estate of George W. Van - derbilt, containing 7,200 acres io one body and employing from G00 to 1,000 men in beautifying it, Tbe land alone cost $250,000, and his improvements ^re -so colossal in conception as to find parallel only in the ancient Bomanp. His house is in the course of erection on the western slope of the central elevation, with a bewitching view of mountains, rivers, farms and city. It is 400 feet in length, with solid walls of fifty feet in height from the deer park on the western front to tbe first floor, and tbe lawn tennis court ulone, with its huge iwalls from thirty to fifty fot in height, would make a foundation for tbe grandest of the ancient temples of the old World. A private railroad some fi/e miles in length is kept busy transporting materi? als to the palace, for bridges, roads, etc., and when completed the cos t of the es? tate will reach $5,000,000. There will be 200 miles of elegant road.-, traversing the Vanderbilt estate, of which 38 will be macadamized, and scores of bridges of every conceivable form e.f exquisite architecture will add to tbe beauty of the place. The building of the palace will be a five years' task, even with every branch of mechauism em? ployed in its construction filled with workmen This will be the most mag? nificent estate on the continent, surpass ing tha oldest and largest English es? tates in natural beanty and with its game preserves equaled by few in any country of the world.?Colonel McClure in Philadelphia Times. Try. this on your Roses. .Everybody in iAugusta who grows roses had trouble with the bugs and worms that infested both the plants and the flowers last year. Oo account of these pest? very few perfect roses were seen here either in the Spriog or Fall, and the insects seemed to be worse on tbe lovely Marechal Neile, of which there are r.o many in Augusta gardens, than on any other variety. In the Philadelphia Record we Bee that Mr. William Spooner, the president of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society and veteran rose grower of Jamaica plains, recommends white hellebore for keeping off the pests that infest the roses. The hellebore can bo had at any of the drug stores. Mr. Spooner com? mences as toon as the plants come into . leaf, and by a persistent use ot it keeps the foliage in fine shape, as all can testi? fy who have; seen his roses on exhibition. Let. our rose growers cut this out for future reference, and try the white helle? bore on their roses this Spring.? Augusta News._ Unrequited Affection, They are telling a story on a young man in Detroit?it doesn't make any dif? ference who he is?which somehow has only recently got into the current gossip. It appears that during the past cummer he put in a month at a lake resort in the northwest and there fell in love with a girl who didn't believe in reciprocity worth a cent. His persistence, however, was in no ways abated by a little thing like that. One day the girl fell off the dock into the lake, and the young man being Bomewhat of- an athlete and a swimmer jumped in and rescued her witbontmuch difficulty. "Now," he said, as she stood dripping on the dock, "I have saved your life and you must marry me." "Marry you ?" she repeated in bewil? derment. ''Must IV "It's as little as yon could do," be whispered, putting out his hands to her. She gave him one look as be stood there all draggled and sloppy, and with a smothered shriek she plunged into the flood once more. The next time she was rescued by a boy in a boat, and the young man was so mad he sent a bill to her father for a new suit of clothes.?Detroit Free Press. Bain to Order.

The report is voluminous and if. profusely illustrated with photograph* applicable to tbe subject matter. In addition to the reports of the chiefs of tbe several exper? imental parties, the rep'ort contains a statement from Eugene Fairchild, a mem ber of the party, in which he says, "The expedition has completed its work for tbe season, and the question is ar,ked 'Have the experiments been succtsafu1 V As a member of the opposition, I am convinced that the experiments have been entirely successful; and, further? more, that the scheme is practicable, the cost being very small, as compared with the benefit gained.

Chattanooga, February 24.?A highly exciting and sensational scene oc? curred at about noon to-day on Market street in front of Rawlin's drag store, when Dr. W. 0. Townes was attacked by John Valsbadt and wife. The woman wielded a cowhide striking the doctor several times over the head. The parents charge that Dr. Townes killed their child by giving improper medicines. Two other physicians were called in while the case was in charge of Townes and attended to the child. The mother was crazed with grief aod hysterical when the attack was made to? day. Dr. Townes is one of Chattanoo? ga's most prominent and respectable phy? sicians and a professor in chemistry in Chattanooga Medical College. The police arrested the parties aud they gave bond. ? A writer in a German newspaper has obtained statistics which show that the number of suicides throughout the world is 180,000 yearly. These figures, the writer observes, have been of steady growth. The greatest number of suicides happen in Juno, the fewest in September. The first ten days of the month giveB i be largest number of suicides. ?

There are probably two hundred thous? and domesticated ostriches iu Cape Col? ony. Each bird is supposed to not his owner 840 per annum. ? Col. Mosby is quoted by Col. Edward Angler as having described to him a mis? understanding between Longstreet and A. P. Hill over the honor of winning the battle of Games' Mill. The old Richmond Examiner, describing the action, gave the credit to Hill, whereupon Longstreet's adjutant went to the editor and pro? nounced the story false. Hill, seeing this contradiction, wrote to the editor to ask who had furnished It. The letter came back with an endorsement by Long street himself assuming the responsibili? ty for the denial. A challenge followed and was accepted, and but for Gen. Lee's interference, Mosby says, there would have been a duel.

Nine fathers out of ten, if asked as to what occupation they hope their sons to follow, will say: "Well, he won't fol? low my business, if I can help it." The only inference to be drawn is that a ma [ jority of men are engaged in callings not to their liking, either because there is not any money in it or becauue it is not agreeable to them. That is the natural conclusion, but the real fact of the mat? ter is, the aversgo man is a "kicker" ; he wants something other than that which he has and without making any especial effort to meet the desire, grumbles at what he has.
