TEE FIRST FARMERS' INSTITUTE. several Matters of reat Interest to Agri culture Discussed by Some Experienced Farmers. (From the Charleston World.) OBNGEBURG, July 18.-The great Farmers' Institute opened here to-day, and judging from the three sessions held so far-morning, afternoon and evening -it promises to eclipse anything in the way of a farmers' gathering ever held in the State. The exercises were opened with the morning session by President J. E. Wannamraker calling the meeting to order, and requesting the Rev. L. F. Beatty to invoke a blessing. President Wannamaker then delivered an eloquent address of welcome, and assured all that every one interested in agriculture would be benefited by the speeches, etc., which they would hear at the institute. Prof. George F. Atkinson, of the South Carolina University, was then in troduced to the -meeting. The subject of his address was "The Cotton Worm, and other Enemies of the Cotton Plant." Theaddress was an excellent one, and was delivered in a style which made everything clear., The speaker was com pelledto use a great many technical terms in giving the various enemies of the cotton plant, but his explanations were so very plain that all could readily "catch on" to the idea. Among other things, be said the cotton worm is an immint. Its original home is South Amenea and the West Indies. It was known in the West Indies by its work from the earliest time of cotton cultiva tion there. The. first known recorded instance of its appearance in North America was in 1798, more than a een tury after the introduction of cotton culture. In that year it did great dam age to cotton in South Carolina and Georgia. It appeared again in 1800, and from that time to the present it has become too familiar by the oft-recurring eatB of great loss. The speaker fol lwed up the whole history of the moth and the caterpillar, giving in detail the history of the hatching process carried on by the upon the cotton stalk. One method of destroying them was to place lights in different parts of the field, so astoattract the moths and destroy them. Besidea the caterpillar, there were other worms-mantiona as.being injurious to the cotton plant, and other enemies even besides insects, for all of which the speaker gave some means of retaliating, and~.o maeansa of effectually desnrying the enemy, The- question box occupied the attention - of the convention until 2 o'clock,. hen a recess was taken until 4 o'clock. This sminn was occupied by the very timely and important address of Dr. W. Summers, upon "how to raise cot ton. Dr. Summers is a resident of Orangeburg county, and has the happy faculty of the always appearing before a '- pleased audence. His address was not a very lengthy one, but what was said was to the point. "He showed how much and what agredients were needed to be in exact proportion to the different advantages, . _or the ingredients possessed by any cer inpihce of land, and gave the different manner of manuring to secure these prop All manure of every de anuid. -b should be put out early; not Sate ten. lie irst of April, so that they wi;lg'swluble condition, ready to e by the yougplant as soon inat n seed manur ng beet bearing and hardiest varie s esiid be selected, and none but sound seed should be planted.

A e said that by the report of the orn -~ ~moueof agrenulture, tax waspaid on 968$tons of fertilizer in 1887, wh~atthe low estimate of $20 per 't. ,without freight, would repre snsabout $2,000,000 paid out by the fanae for fertilizers. He said that the faramhold interchange opinions on thianbject, because theyrelied toormuch upon the commmeial fertilizer. The -sne could obtain the different ingre C denta of guano, and mixthemasisedone atthe guano yards, and it would save mmensely; besides, they could adopt idea that farmers should keep experi n on- a small sce onguos away e~sthat were thrown away S withoauhinbeing done. After the question bothe meeting adjourned until to-morrow, when three more see sionsawli eheld. Tn. secona Day. Osarmassone,-July 19.-This morn -the'Bev. A. y.8. mn fe hc -. rof. Milton Whitney, of South Carolina p ~iversity, was introduced. The sub ject of the address of Professor Whnitney was "Fersilising qualities of legaminous T quson box, which is one of the *most inesigfeatures onthepro ~m ,was then opened by Mr. James K.Moss, the manager, and it was found to contain a number of important ques tions. .The questions were nearly allre formed to Prennr- Atleinson and Whit ney, who answered at a ahort notice and ge einy tisfactorily. Mottennn session was devoted to the hearing ofthe address of Mr. E. B. Walter of Orangdburg, on "How to make corn at ten centE. per bushel on Oarolina uplands." The most important .W~tof the address are contained in "Realizing thegreat importance of the coen orop of our State, and the necessi ty for the introduction of a more rapid Sand ecnomical mode of cultivation, your essayist has consented to submit, for ~ou consideration, aamethod adopt. *ed himaclf three years ago and sue ulypracticed since; and in order to itasolearly as possible, will to lay before you a statement from a carefully kept diary of every hour's labor expended upon the crop of '4 land selected for planting in corn, was 54 acres,34 of which was in ornlast year, and 20 in oats, followed pess. It was all carefnlly broken up wihtwo horse plows in December and January, the corn-stalks, chopped into two or three parts, being complete ly turned, together with a heavy growth o pevines, grass, etc. In this condi tion it reained until March 18, when it aslaid off with a Corbin harrow par tially drawn back and pulled by two Sanimals, thoroughly pulverizing the soil then ~ ~ . The water furrows were then opened with a seven-inch opener plow, in the furrow distributors were run, depositing 300 pounds of fer tilimrs pracre, and were followed by ittached, intended simply to mingle the fertilizer with the soil. The corn was dropped by hand at an average distance of about thirty inches and covered by a board twenty-seven inches in length, the lower corners of which were sawed off diagonlly nine inches from the ends. The seed used was known as the N. C. prolific corn, which grows as small stock, produces two ears low down, and susceptible of very close planting on bed. "The fertilizer consisted of a mixture of 40 per cent. each of Edisto dissolved bone and cotton seed meal and 20 per cent. kaidit, costing $16.87 per ton. "The speaker then quoted some ex tracts from a diary kept of the working on the farm, giving in detail the manner of working the corn, and also the differ ent kind of seasons which was experi enced. The principal working machine used was the harrow, which cost only a small amount of time and labor. After all the work was gone through with, it was found that the corn never fired, the stalk was succulent and vigorous, and the leaves, from the lowest to the upper most, green and healthy. He then read a statement of the whole cost of the crop for succoring and working it, and dividing the total by the number of acres, showed that the cost was $3.24 per acre. "The amount of corn which will be made per acre has been variously esti mated at from 30 to 40 bushels. The cost of breaking the ground in Decem ber and first fertilizers was not estimated in the above figures, but fodder and peas made beforehand will make up. for this. "There are those who mvy object to the omission of rental of lands tax, on same, interest on values, etc , but to them the writer would respectfully state that this article was prepared, not to ex hibit the profit in the cultivation of an acre of South Carolina uplands requir ing an array of figures each on the debit and credit side, but to show to his brother farmers of our county and State the benefit to be derived from the use of labor-saving machinery by means of which his corn cannot only be effectual ly and economically cultivated, but can be done with such rapidity that it ceases to interfere with his cotton, which at this particular season is especially liable to loss from grass and procrasti nation, and the work of which inevitably results in additional labor and expense. The' speaker concluded by giving Orangeburg county the "send ofr' which she deserves for the great advantages held out to. farmers by her rich and fertile lands, and remarked that her fields blossom like a well-kept garden, and peace and plenty abound within her borders." After this speech the question box was again opened and the subject of cholera was brought up. An essay was then read from Col. K. M. Sims, of Charles ton, on fruit culture. Reslutions of thanks were then offer ed to Mr. J. E. Wannamaker for his ex cellent management of the institute, and also to the Harmonic Orchestra for the splendid music rendered gratuitously by them. The Institute then adjourned. How To Keep the Hair.

Mr. Editor: I am a native Republi can-that isto say, Iam in favor of a stronggovernmentand a protective tariff. But I don't take to the nomination of Harrison; and of course I am not for Cleveland; and the third party has not materialized. So things are not com fortable. The following entitled "Vic tory will Perch," comes from the Detroit Free Press: and expresses so exactly how I feel about it that, maybe, some other "forlorn" 'will take comfort, if you pub lish it. JovmunI. At the Detroit and Milwaukee depot yesterday a knot of waiting passengers were talking politics, when ayoung man with a crape band on his white hat came up and said: "Whar was Harmason? Yes, sir, whar was he?" "What do you mean?" asked one. "I mean that the Republican party nominated Harmasonat Chicago. He is a good man. Victory will perch upon his banner. Bet you $10 victory will." "Do you mean Harrison?'' "Yes, sir, Imean Harrison. Man says I don't mean Harrington lies! Good man. Victory will perch. Can't help it. Btt you10!" "Aren't you a little off?" queried one of the group. "No sir! Whar was Ckeland? Good man. Nominated by ecolamation. Vic tory will perch. Bet you $10 she will." "Do you mean Cleveland?" "Yes, sir, mean Cleveland. Any man who says I don't mean Cleelum has got to lick me! She's got to perch. Must perch. Bet you $10 she'll perch." "Which side are you on, anyhow?" asked a voice. "Yes, sar. Whar am I? Good man. Victory bound to perch on me. Must prch. Got to perch or-" And as a polieman led him off he cor tinued: "Whar am I? 'Rested by exclamation, but 1'l1 bet the judge victory perches. Can't help but perch. She's all tired out and got to perch. 'Rah f'r Lincoln and McClellan!" The exact quantity of the lion's share is not stated; but it is all the lion can get. SCENES ON CONEY ISLAND. Some Account of People's Doings at a Cer tain Fashionable Resort. NEW YORK, July 17.-Most people who come to New York primarily to "do" the city and take in the sights choose the win ter or spring as the time for their visit. Nevertheless, the summer visitor, if he doesn't object to being parboiled a trifle and is an expert at dodging sun-strokes, gets the most for his money. It is worth the price and pains of a jour ney here from almost anywhere to go to Coney Island on a Sunday or Saturday afternoon, which is a half-observed legal holiday. "The Island" is in reality only a short section of the ocean shore of Long Island. It is less than an hour from the city by steamer or train. You take the boat as the more pleasant and pay half a dollar for a round-trip ticket. You land at an iron pier that juts out into the sea at a section of "The Island" known as West Brighton. Its patrons are chiefly of the laboring classes and German is the predominating tongue. Two or three thousand people, men, women and chil dren, decked in their best, are sitting around small tables, in a mammoth pa vilion, drinking beer and eating schweizer sandwiches. A little army of white bibbed waiters are flitting about with elevated trays ministering to their pleasure. At one end an orchestrion is grinding out last year's tunes; and when the big music ma chine stops, a brass band takes up the broken thread and sixty or seventy pairs of healthy German lungs pump wind with great energy into the mouths of their brass instruments, the blare and din of it all may be imagined-by people who have been inflicted with it. But it is outside the building that you see to best advantage the merry, jabbering, motley pot-pourri of humanity. An im mense fanciful edifice, Jumbo in wood, multiplied a hundred times, is before you. For a dime you can enjoy the luxury of entering the end of his trunk, which trails en the ground, and climbing a few hun dred eccentric steps to the car on his back. Then there is the tower, a skeleton iron structure of such dizzy height that you begin to speculate on the possibilities of lodging up there in upper ether. On a bright day the big cities and green villages and the ships for miles at sea seem to nestle at your feet. You look down immediately below on such an aggregation of pleasure devic s for those of simple tastes as the continent elsewhere does not afford. There comes to you above the roar of the surf a babel of voices from tens-sometimes hun dreds-of thousands of throats. Your kaleidoscope reflects the commingling and intertwisting of every form and color. "Merry-go-rounds" by the dozen are spin ning around people on the backs of the most grotesque creatures imaginable. There you catch a glimpse of a big, fat Dutchman complacently revolving on a meek-looking dromedary, by his side a tot of a little girl gaily perched on the back of a wooden crocodile. There are tortuous tracks of uncertain length on which car loads of people are whizzed about with the speed of the winds, solely by the force of gravity, landing eventually at the starting point. There are grind-organs and trick monkeys, fortune-telling Gypsies and dancing bears, stuffed cows that allow lemonade to be milked from them for five cents a glass, photographers' tents, bearded women to sell you sandwiches, living skeletons gyrating on tight ropes, and a thousand and one other devices to arrest your attention and call down your pennies. The beach is black with strollers and loungers, while hundreds of others are splashing about in the surf. As you proceed up the beach, the "tone" improves very perceptibly. The gimcrack venders are left behind and the festive voice of the hurdy-gurdy smites no longer the auricle. The largest hotels on the beach the Brighton, Manhattan and Oriental most fashionable in the order of their re moteness from the West End, are ap proached successively. They are vast frame structures, surrounded by splendid grounds. Gilmore's and other world-re nowned bands give afternoon and evening concerts. Porticoes and grounds all thronged with men and women whose dress proelaims them to be devotees of fashion. At night there are mammoth fire works shows-mimic Pompeiis over whelmed with the fiery streams from Ve suvius, Sebastopols knocked into smither eens by the allied guns, Londons licked up by waves of flame that leap hundreds of foet into the air and spread their ruddy glow over the yellow sand and far out into the dark waters. You lunched at the West Brighton, a mile away. Sixty cents paid for a very wholesome and substantial repast. In the density of our ignorance we have just struggled .uncomfortably through supper at the Oriental. The distingue-looking Frenchman who served us suavely hands us a slip of paper. "Great Scott! waiter, what's this?" "Check for Monsieur's supper- eight dollars." A Good Fish Story. Mr. Thomas had a large farm on the Missouri bottoms near Sioux City. It was all fenced with barbed wire, there being two miles of such fencing on the place. He happened in Sioux City just about the time that the gorge up the river had dammed the river to such a prodigious height. Foreseeing that when the gorge broke it would be like'y to raise the water to such an extent as to flood his farm he rode hasterly home and made preparations aceodingly. His stock and all that was movable was trans ferred to higher ground. Then he and his hired man proceeded to impale small hucks of meat on ~every barb of that wire fence. it was abig job, but it was fnihed just as the river began to cover the lower pasture lot. For twenty-six hours the water stood five feet above the top of the highest fence post, and when it receded the most remarkable sight was revealed. From every barb, except three, of that two miles of fencing hung a fish. There were pickeral, bass, pike, suckers and every other imaginable variety. A simple calculation will show precisely the size of the haul. It was a five-wire fence, each wire having thirty-:ix barbs to the rod, making, as any schoolboy can tell you, atotal of 115,200 barbs to the two miles of fencing. There were tree barbs that had caught nothing, so so that there were ony115,197 fish. Perhaps the most remarabe part of the story is to come: From that day to this, in all parts of the Missouri River, there have been caught just three fish, the exact number that didn't ger, caught on our friend's barbed wire fence. -Iowa Falls Register. - Life Joined to Death. PRovIDENCE, R. I., July 18.-Mrs. Mary Donn yesterday became the mother of a double-'eaded child. The freak of nature resembles nothing that the pbysicians who have examined it ever saw before. There are two bodies with separate internal or gans joined together lengthwise at the hips and each body has its distinct head. The bodies have one pair of arms and hands and one pair of legs, the limbs being per fectly formed. If the monstrosity stor-d on its feet the body would be horizontal, while the legs alone would be upright, the hands appearing from the front of the two bodies where they are joined. The phy sicians reported this morning that one-half the child had died and that the other por tion could not live. Grover Cleveland is the son of a Presby teran clergyman, and Allen G. Thurman is the son of a Methodist minister. FULLER CONFIRMED As Chief Justice of the Supreme Court By a Vote of 41 to 20. WASHINuTON, July 20.-Melville W.

Fully three thousand people assembled at Washington Park, Brooklyn, yesterday, to witness Mime. Carlotta give an exhibi tion of her skill and daring as an aeronaut. She has made more ascensions than any other woman in the world, and the feats she performs while in midair are seldom attempted, even by the most experienced and skillful ascensionists. It is safe to say that none of the audience present yester day to see her start on her perilous jour ney, with nothing to cling to or sit on ex cept a small horizontal bar, would have been willing to have accompanied her even with a strong basket attached to the bal loon; still this little woman, with nerves of iron, appeared to be less concerned for her safety than any one else present. She tripped out of her dressing-room attired in black tights trimmed with orange, bowed gracefully to the audience, exchanged a few hurried words with her manager and was ready to start. The balloon was inflated and tugging impatiently at its anchorage. Carlotta re marked: "The wind is favorable for a pleasant sail over to Jersey." When the order was given "let go," the balloon start ed upward with a mighty jump, and almost before Carlotta's "good by" had died away was hundreds of feet in the air. After at taining an altitude of about a mile it ap patently found a stronger current of air than it met with nearer the earth, and began rapidly sailing away to the northwest. Carlotta was in the meantime giving a really gymnastic exhibition on the horizontal bar. She hung from the bar by her feet and per formed a variety of feats that were almost blood curdling when the spectators realized her immense distance from the earth. She rapidly sailed over New York, across the Hudson and over the Palisades, maintain ing her great altitude until lost to view in the haze of an approaching shower. N. Y. Star, July 19. Don't Worry. Don't worry, my son, don't worry. Don't worry about something to hap-. pen to-morrow, because you might die to-bight, and to-morrow will find you beyond the reach of worry. Don't worry over a thing that happened yesterday, because yesterday, you know, is a hundred years away. If you don't believe it, just try to reach after it and bring it back. Don't worry about any th ng that is happening to-day, because to-day will only last fifteen or twenty minutes. If you don't believe it, tell your creditors you'll be ready to settle in full with them at sunset. Don't worry about things you can't help, because worry only makes them worse. Don't worry about things you can help, because then there's no need to worry. Don't worry at all. If you want to be patienti now and then, it won't hurt you a bit to go into the sackcloth and ashes business a little. It will do you good. If you want to cry a little once in a long while, that isn't a bad thing. If you feel like going out and clubbing yourself occasion ally, I think you need it, and will lend you a helping hand at it, and put a plas ter on you afterward. All these things will do you good. But worry, worry, fret, fret, fret-why, there's neither sor row, penitence, strength, penance, ref ormation, hope nor resolution in it. It's just worry.-Bnrdett.
