Hy June the milk of 600 oows will be handled, at the college creamery. The butter is put on the market heth, and commands a better prlcuthau “Elgin, 111., butter.” These creameries can be put up in Mbsissippl at an expense of from $1,200 to $2,000; Smaller creameries are now being pm up at iota cost aud lor individual use, as separators are being offered at re duced pi ices or lower than the I)e Leval. It is seen, then, that a cream ery put up at the college has intro duced a new industry in the State. Besides the stock tcature, so success fully and olhcially demonstrated, tho college is also cultivating large orchards of fruits. Ovpr 6,000 fruit trees are coming on; twenty acres' of strawberries and other fruits, large aud small, vegetables, &c. The col lege is liberally supported by the State, receiving from $80,000 to $40,- 000 a year. It cannot accommodate all the students desiring to attend. The commencement occasions have usually from 2,000 to 8,000 visitors from all portion* of the State. It is doing a grand work, aud has demon strated that Mississippi can be made ns great a success as a cattle and fruit State as a cotton State; (bat food for cktlle grazing and winter looj^io cheaper than any were; that tlm land that were considered worn out are splendid grazing lands. Fields that have not been cultivated for years are now being inclosed by wire fencing and herds of caltto put on them. The ordinary Indian corn, cow j>ea, sor ghum, cane, &c., are being utilized for ensilage and feed. The ordinary or native grasses are equal to any other when cut aud handled properly, and it is entirclv unnecessary to introdnci foreign graven. In fact, the native grasses are now awakening to the lact that if they will just look beyond a “cotton row” they have a State which will produce not only what they have always grown,- but almost everything else, and her capa> Ity for diversified agriculture and industries is inexhaustible. ’ Gen. Stephen D. Lee D a tall, sol dierly, handsome man about fill' years old. Trained to military life snd having given to that profesdon the earlier years of his manhood, he lias, aince UHij, devoted himself to the pvreeful arts of agriculture.

The c*>llege is turning out every \e«r hun dreds of intelligent young men, trained iu all the details of diversified agricul ture.

Tho Prtands of th« Great Indlaiilnn Find that There Is no Charm Iu ffl» Name. (Fnm a Washinyton [,eU<sr.) The political estate of tiie late Thos A. Hendricks, which was burdened, doubtless, with too many administra tors, has gone glimmering ns it were. Nouc would have supposed t|uR* the personal triends of Hendricks would be so soon forgotten. To those who were his supporters the administration apparently turns a deaf ear. Hen drieks had about him a few persons frohn Indiana whom he was-especially desirous of having quartered in com fortable positions. Since (lie day his remains were laid at rest in Indian apoiis but two avowed friends have been recognized, and each of those iu the smallest subordinate’ positions. Tho man who stood nearer Hendricks and was his confidential secretary was relieved the day John Sherman was made President pro temport of the Senate and a Republican given the E lacc. From that (lay to this promises ave been made to Colonel East, with assurances that he would lie assigned. East was true and faithful to Hen dricks, and In view of the prominent position he occupied it was naturally expected he would be properly pro vided for. Hendricks also had a nephew who was relieved ©"om a good position by- Sherman at the same time Colonel East was. He too has been promised from day to day, but yet is uncommis sioned. To have been a friend of Hen dricks does not mean an office at l(jc Jiands of this administration: The cose of Colonel East is one of more Uwp ordinary importance. He has for ytare been a prominent fhetor in In diana politics, and at one time, when wealthy, be contributed largely to the Dim ocratie cause. He is heartily en dorsed by the Indiana delegation in Congress, but even that fails to secure anything more than promises.' Hen dricks has been dead bnt six months, and to-day it is almost impossible for a Hendricks Democrat to get anything within the gift of bis party. Mischief Is Wrought by bad cooking, tough meats, late boars, business worries, iyregalar fevers, sour dispositions, evil creation and impure blood. Much of tbis mis chief can be overcome by the use of Brown’s Iron Bitters—the best tonic over made. Mrs. Emilio Crawford, Beidsville, Ga., writes: “After trying Brown’s Iron Bitters we are per- ed-tbat it U all that it claims to be and reliable tonic.” .Thou- tbers speak in like manner. * te oi cuitiva- utt improved of crops are e South. By Thslostal Tsoisei of the Xattoaol Cs*- Hal Generally lacrodoloas about Receat Report* of his Kogogsaisot. (U’otfiingltm lattrr to tho Sett York Herald.) Curiou* as it may seem, the talk aboaf the President’s marriage to Miss Fol som has not vet produced any agita tion here. The aiipple truth is, nobody believes it, else there would be a fer ment. The sensation has been worked op from Buffalo, and for the benefit of certain social interests there. Wbeu the subject was first broached, about ten days ago, a very near and personal friend of tl>e President authorized a positive denial of the report. Miss Cleveland, prior to her departure for Atlantic City, also gave it a most un equivocal contradiction, though it is untrue that she expressed any disap proval of such an alliance for her brother. Miss Folsom and she are warm friends, and'th<> younger lady was the guest of the former at tho White House lastjtfall. There might have been some excuse for the rumor at that time. Not that the engagement is by any means unlikely to be true, but because of the manner in which the story has been circulated ia any real doubt cast upon it. The union would certainly be a desirable one for Miss Folsom. That may go witboul saying. To be raised to the position of first lady of the land by sudran alliance would charm any woniau’a imagination. Tbeclosc ijcraoual friend ship that existed between Mr. Cfere- land and his now deceased law part ner is known to every citizen of Buf falo. Nothing could he more natural than that the former should interest himself in the welfare of the widow and the daughter of his friend. If the most |>ositive denials given here go for nought, and if President Cleveland really is to Im» married iu June, there will be a“social upturning hero such as Washington never before has seen. -Despite Miss Cleveland’s scholar ship, her position and her many graces, it is an undeniable fact that Stic has been socially overshadowed by Mrs WUttam C. Whitney, the wife of the secretary of the navy. This lady, with tier vast fortone, her splendid residence in New York, her commodi ous house on I street in this city and her country scat iust outside the bor ders of the Capita), lias been the recog nized social queen of the present sea son. _ Previously unknown to the country and uu hr raided on her ap- I >CMr hi ice in Washingtui, si-e has, iu one short year, become the dictator at the Republican court and the lender of fashion. I am aware that many Wash ington ladies who read this will shake their heads, if they do not dispute the assertion even more warmlv. But the less impulsive among them will recog nize its truth. Where isyUicrc any lady in any way identified with the present regime that can dispute with her the place 1 at the top? She cannot ho named. Mrs. Manning hud all the charms that fitted her for such a post lion. The treasury department out ranks that of Uie navy in the unwrit ten code of precedence, hot the dan gerous illness of Secretary Manning is likely to keep the lady of Albany out •>t the social field for some time to c.ime. Everybody who knows anything about this season at Washington ad mits that Mrs. Whitney has been ap pealed to when a triumphant success in any charitable or social enterprise was desired. Her house has been at the disposal of her friends when she is at home, though it must be admitted ilmt some of her associates felt very I'adly because she recently declined to permit them to take possession of her home and servants when she was sud denly called to Cleveland, Ohio, by the death of her grandmother. She was resolute in her postponement of the newsboys’ charity reception, how ever. For one woman to make a secret enemy of another is a serious affair. There is no such word as “forgive ness” in the feminine lexicon. I have been convinced of sincere womanly delight at the scandal which Mrs. Potter’s reading of an obnoxious poem brought upon the Whituey coterie. It was the only serious misstep prior to tho closing of her bouse, and, of course, she innocently suffered lor her friend. Nobody supposes for a mo- •jkawic savage*. MaialMHllsiaa<>u,Tnsti Wanifa — Ultra sad Metal Habits. ( From the Bon Fronemo Examiner.) The inhabitant* of the fat South Pacific coast islands are in many re spects strange human beings, ana not tbe least singular fact in 1 conueetion with them is their manner and custom of life, both in the domestic circle and when hauling with other tribes.

F. Gray, connected with the house of A. Crawford fe Co., of this city, who, during his visit to tlie islands, gained much interesting information concern ing the islands and their inhabitants. The natives are large and powerful. They are not uidike the New Zealanij- ere, being of a dark, copper-colored complexion. In addtion to a natural Inclination for warfare,. they arc very treacherous, and in some portions ot the group %re cannibals. Their main o9cupation is like that of the Indian, loafing and picking cocoanuts, which sre prepared and shipped to this coun try with considerable profit When not engaged iu Itarvestimr ti e {cocoa- nut crop or loafing about on the ocean in a dug-out efinoe, the Marshall islnnder puls iu his time carving gro tesque figures on omoc paddles and in whittling out murdereus-looking war clubs, speurs, arrows and oilier simi lar weapons.

The llgtinii on the paddle represent idols, and accord!mr to the Ixlander’s Is-lief, if ii|>on his Inint pad dle there is carved a figure of an Idol he can safely navigate anywhere. In thi* coiinectiou it may be well to slate tluu these islanders are the boldest and most skilirul canoe navigators in Uie Pacific. They make voyages extend ing over many months, trusting to Providence,, or ratlicr rain, to supply them with fresh water. They naVigate hy means of a chart composed 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 ot which thep use with the greatest skill ami accuracy— The clubs ore made of ironwood, and are very heavy. They are of various shapes, the most mur derous being the gnarled root of the ironwood tree. Tl^ other clubs are of lighter character. The arrows arc made of light btunl>oj, the pomlx 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. Tbe feather end is fantastic and randy, a regular bouquet of feathers plucked from the rarest birds being used and blended together with a strifct regard for colors. The islanders, particularly in the vicinity of New Ireland, have no ptr- ticular love for the whites, and it Is not an iufrvqacnt occurrence to find some settler lying iu trout of his door dead, it is the work of some native, who, having become offended at the white man, has lain in wait and killed him — * roots «f latrarat.

The natives do not tolerate polygamy, and after marriage tho women are famous for their fidelity. A sort of a slave traffic exists throughout the islauds, though, and single women can be purchased for servants aud concubines for a mere trifle. Clothing is a thing unknown in most of the islands.

VV'here pon fr. incut that Mrs. Whitney would have w „„ n .... . . approved ot such pauscating rubbish Ird*»d, however, as “’Ostler Joe”—a species of verse that has for months been sold in beer gardens and in the smoking cars of trains, but never mentioned in the pres ence of ladies. The unforeseen act of her guest has placed Mrs. Whitney in a position ot considerable d fficulty. It is believed to have giveu rise to the remark in certain high circles that it was high time to make tbe White House the social centre of the Capital. Womanly malice had everythiug to do with this remark. It probably was the precursor of tho wedding sensation now having, its run. Borne curious things have been told me by ladies during the past week regarding the channels through which (be prospec live marriage has been giveu to tbe world. I do not dare repeat them, for I should have the leaders of the social factious about my ears like so many hornets. If Mr. Cleveland is lo marry in the near tuture^and I believe it is a right S iaranteed even to Presidents under e Constitution—it means the inangu ration of a merry war for sodql supremacy such as has not been seen in this Capital since the days of the Pierce Administration. The local nabobesses, now almost a uait as against “the foreign invasion,” so- called, will inevitably divide and ally themselves with one or other wing in the contest. Miss Cleveland will retire to the leisure necessary to produce future successful literary fruit. t>he may contemplate writing “the great American novel” for all that is known to the contrary. If she does, and in troduce* a review of Washington so ciety, theMare those who will be able to recognMb, if not dwell npon, some of the characters in the tale. Her reception by Washington society never has been excessively hearty, despite her charming manners, her bright in telligence aud her •xcolleut taste it) dress. A Washington correspondent Ur the New York Tribune in a recent article, in speaking of the tariff, says: Speaker Cariisic is inclined to take a hopeful view of (lie prospects of tariff legislation at this session of Congress. He is reported as estimating that not more than fifteen Democrats will vote against tbe bill, while twenty-five Re- K ublicans will vote for it. Abram 8. lewitt thinks the bill will pass, ami acTdoes W. L. Scott, who has decided to vote for it and whe is exerting bis influence in favor of it. To his efforts are attributed the rumored intention of two other Pennsylvania Democrats —Storm and Swepe—to support tbe measure. It is not a very profoum secret that in his “new departure” Mr. Scott is cheered and strengthened by the sympathy and approval of the Administration. There is pretty goot reason to believe that iu respect to tbe proposed tariff legislation Mr. Clove lana does not cling tenaciously to his doctrine that tbe office duties of President are “essentially executive,” bat that, on tbe contrary, be not only feels a dfeep interest in the success ot 'the rariff bill, but personally aud otherwise is bringing a strong pres sure to bear upon Democrats who are hostile, wavering or indifferent. This exeeotive pressure probably will affect some votes. ADVICX TO Mi Mss. Winslow's soorame ways be used tor children tbe child, softens the gai cures wind 00U0. and Is t dUrrhcBA.
