We really think that tho spirited
raeo has been enjoyed by the young
readers of Tin: AUVEUTlSUIt and we
Irive enjoyed their gratitication. It is
particularly pleasant that so miny fair
young holies of I.aureus have received
mio.'. eoinpliiuo'itary votes and we trust
all the doreated onoa will take the ro
suit philosophically. A great Athenian
ill feat d III a raeo where a hundred

so many more popular than be in the
city.
Bolow is given tho vote for the

Diversified Industries.
A silk farm will probably bo added
to tho varied industries that Rre
springing op about Charleston. The
Duke de Litta, an Italian nobleman,
who visited this city ,-everal years ago,
has undertaken the project and has
already accomplished the preliminaries
of it.
Nearly a year ago the Duke had
planted on a tract near Summervillo
one thousand cuttings of mulberry
plants, tho loaves of which form the
subsistence! of the silk worms. All these
cuttings have taken and grown with
re mat u iblc rapi I Ity,indicating thntt he
soil in which they art; planted is rs
pcclal y well adapted to their prowth.
Within the past month the young trees
have I eeU, by ei der of tho Duke, cut
oil close to the roots and upon the
stumps haye been grafted slips of an
other variety of mulberry,better suited
for the feeding of the worms but less
hardy of prowth than those first
planted, lloth the original cuttings
and tho slips reo ntly grafted were
BCnt he-ro from the Duke de Litta's es
tates in Italy, where he e.wns exten
sive and rich silk farms. Within a few
months the grafting should show their
quality and if this is satisfactory tho
area of mulberry groves will bo ox
tended and the culture of siik for the
market entered niton.
The Duke do Litta is 0X pect od to
'visit Charleston in October and will
nrpbably rem in here I r ti yetr, fol
lowing the progr0}9 of his experiment.
He will bring with him a few Italian
peasants from ha estates who have
been engaged on his silk farm and will
ostabllsh them on the farm near Snm
inervllle to teach nativo employees the
culture of fitlk worm-. ? Charleston
Post.
