Why, who can meagre 7 The fates beset us?
We laugh a moment, we mourn a year.

Agricultural Scraps.
Dr. W. F. Barton has laid upon our
table a beautifuFfcample of his growing
erop of oatsr which is just heading out/
We learn that the corn crop is|
well advanced (in height) for this season
of the year. But many fanners complain
that the dry spell of April, and accom
panying frosts have caused the plant to
turn yellow. Warm weather and spring
showers, however, willl soon rectify this.
The site for the "New Fair Building"
has, we understand, been determined on.
It is immediately in rear of lot of Mr.
W. M. Hutson, on New Street, and in

COMMUNICATED
Mb. Editor:
One of the finest displays of flowers
was exhibited at the Floral Fair of the
State Agricultural Society of Charleston,
last week. It was a week of recreation
and pleasure to many of the country
fanners?I mean the enthusiastic farm
ers. Those who mako planting both a
pleasure and a profit. This sort aro the
prosperous men of the country. If a
planter remains home all the time, he
learns nothing, is not fixed up but goes
along in a sort of a listless jog trot.
I havo always noticed that I did a
third more after a jaunt. I went to
Charleston to see and hear what the mem- j
bers of the State Agricultural Society
would have to say and do among the
flowers; how cotton and corn and rice
looked beside roses and pinks and posies.
Tuesday the Agricultural Society met at
the Hibernian Hall.. The members were
met and well entertained by a committee
of Charleston gentlemen. After spend
ing an hour in social chat and crop en
quiries, the Society was called to order
and an address delivered by the Presi
dent, recommending various measures
and giving a statement of the condition
and prospects of the Association.
Resolutions were offered and adopted,
after which the Society entered upon
the real object of their summer meeting
?the discussion of different agricultural
topics. First an essay was read upon
the subject by a person appointed for
that purpose, after which each planter,
in his plain' plantation way, gave his ex
perience. The up-country, iho middle
country and the low country were in con
tact comparing details of crops and crop
ping.
It was a meeting where a wan could
"pick up a great deal of valuable infor
mation." Those who* were not there un
doubtedly missed one of the most instruc
tive meetings the Society has ever held.
I have no hesitation in saying that these
mcotings, if continued, will add vastly to
improve Agriculture. Two days were
thus profitably spent. The third day
closed the meeting, with an excursion on
steamboat in the Harbor of Charleston.
The party visited the Atlantic Phos
phate Works, where the whole process of
manufacturing the fertilizer was gone
through with. A fire dinner was served
on the boat, and the mind as well as the
qpdy feasted by addresses from guests of |
Georgia and Carolina. Thus ended the
first summer meeting of the State Agri
cultural and Mechanical Society. The
only fault was, it was too hurried. Hard
ly time allowed for the full discussion
and proper investigation" Of the subjects
presented.
The Rural Carollniafl
With its accustomed promptness, the
May number of the "Rural Carolinian'
comes to us. The table of contents show
there is no falling off in the zeal that has
actuated its publishers and editor.1 in the
pant, They have labored hard to bring
it up to its present high standard among
the agricultural publications of the
country, and merit success in so doing.
The Xitcrary Department is a m$fo fea
ture, and one wnich promises .grea^gfiuc
cess, maintained ns it is by selections of]
the highest order. { ^
Messrs. Walker, Evans & Cogswell in
form the patrons of the "Rural Carolin
ian" that they have associated with them
in its publication Mr. Wm. L. Daggett,
who has taken charge of its Business De
partment. His association with the
publication of the magazine will not
make any change in the forces which
have upheld ii in the past, and aided in
in bring it; tip to its present high stand
ard.
The connection of Mr. Daggett with
, the publication of the "Rural Carolin
ian," as its Business Managor has been
highly, spoken of by the press of Charles
ton, with which he has been associated
for upwards of thirty years, and for
nearly twenty years of that time he was
, identified with the Charleston Courier,
only severing his connection with that'
journal on its sale and the consequent
cessation of its publication by its former
proprietors.
We hope the future of the magazine
under its new management, will be com
mensurate with its universally acknowl
edged merits, and cheerfully commend
it to the warm support of our readers.
Those who have not already enrolled
their names on its steadily increasing list |
of subscribers, should lose no time in do.
ing so, thus contributing to tho support
of a meritorious publication, which will
repay them an hundred fold, by the prac
tical information diffused through Us pa
ges during the year. The terms are $2
per annum, in advance. For clubs?6
copies for 810; 10 copies for $16; 20

Household Economy,
Hints on Eating.?Never eat in a
hurry; masticate your food well; this is
of great importance, for many articles of
diet, perfectly wholesome when properly
masticated, unless mixed well with the
saliva are very indigestible, and greatly
derange the process of digestion. Do
not eat or dins under excitement of any
kind, for food tattfin this state will do
you but comparatively little good, and is
almost certain to produce injurious ef
fects. The greatest composure of mind
and body is important while eating, and
for a short time after, until digestion is
fairly commenced. Cheerfulness while
eating and drinking is excellent; and a
chat with a friend after meals will assist
digestion extraordinarily.
To Prevent Flies from Soiling
Picture Frames.?Paint the frames
over with a decoction of leeks, prepared
by boiling three or four in a pint of
water. This will not injure the frames,
but it will prevent the flies from resting
on them.
To Remove Paint or Tar from the
Hands.?Rub the hands with greaso or
butter, and then wash them with soap
and water.
