The Lawyer’s invocation ot Spring (Henry Howard BrownelL) Whereas, on eerlain boughs and sprays Now divers birds are hoard to sing, And sundry flowers their heads uprsiss, Hail to tho oomiog on of spring! The songs of those f«M birls arouse The asemory of our youthful ho urs, As gross as those said sprays and boughs, As fresh and sweet as those said flowers. Tha birds aforessid,—happy pairs,— Levs, ’mid ths aforesaid baughs, in- ■brines la free held neats; Aiemoelses. their belre, Administrators, and assigns. 0 busisst term of Cupid’s Court, When under plaintiffs actions briag,— Besson of frolie and of sport. Hail, ns aforesaid, coming Spring ! The Farmer Pleads His Own Law Case- Robert Toombs and Alexander Stephens once contested a suit growing ont of a doctor’s bill that is very instructive, as welbes amus ing. After proving the number and value of the visits, Toombs rested, and Stevens told bis client the care was clearly made ont for plaintiff, and left no room for de fense. Defendant was greatly displeas ed, and followed by saying, “I hir ed yon to speak, and 1 want yon to speak.” **Bnt,” rejoined Stevens, others isjuothiu^jtobe said.”‘‘Then,” said the stubborn client, u if Bobby Topmbs won’t be too hard on me, I’ll speak.” Toombs snid he would not, and Peter proceeded (1 abbre viate slightly from original teport): “Gentleinent ot the jury, jou and J is plain farmers, and if we don’t stick together, these lawyers and doctors will get the advantage of ns. I ain’t no lawyer or doctor, and 1 ain’t no objection to them in their proper place, but they ain’t farm ers, gentlemen of tbe jury. Now, this man, Boystou, was no doctor, and 1 went for him to dector my wife’s sore leg, and be pat some salve on it, and some rags, but nev er done it a bit of guod. 1 don’t believe be is a doctor anyway. There are doevors, suio enough, but this man don’t earn his money, and if yon send tor him, us Mrs. Sarah Atkinsou did for a negro boy worth $1,000, he just kills him and wants yon to pay it.” ‘•1 don’t,” thuadered the doctor. “Did you core him f” asked Pe«' ter, with tbe blow accents of <* judge with a black cap ou. Tbe doctor was sileut, aud Peter proceeded: “As 1 was saying, gentlemen of the jury, we farmers when we sell our cotton, go to give value for the money we ask, and doctors ain't none too go^d to be put to tbe same rule. Aud 1 don’t believe this Sam Boystou is a doctor nohow.” “Look at my diploma, if you bink 1 am no doctor.” “His diplomat” exclaimed 'the orator, with great contempt. “His diploma! Gentlemen, that is a big word tor printed sheepskin, aud it don’t make no doctor of Uk- sheep as first wore it; nor does it of the man as now carries it; a good news paper has more in it, aud 1 show you that he ain’t no doctor at all.” The doctor was now in a fury, aud screamed ont: “Ask my patients if I am uot a doctor.” “I asked my wife,” retorted Pe ter. “She said she thought be was not.” “Ask my other patients,” said the doctor. This seemed to be straw that broke tbe camel’s back; for Peter it plied with a look and tone of unutterable sadness: ‘That is a hard saying, gentlemen of the jury, and one that requires ms to die, cr to have powers cess ed to be exercised since the apoe- ties. Does he expect me to bring the angel Gabriel down belore his time and cry aloud : 'Awake, ye dead, aud tell this court and jury your opinion ot Sam Boyston’s S raotice P Am I to go to the lone r obnrehyard and rap on the si lent tomb and say to them at rest from physio and doctors’ bills, 'Rise op here, yon, and state if yon died a natural death, or was bar- ried on by the doctors P Hs ssys ask his patients, and, gentlemen of the jury, fay are *11 food!

Hnrrison is still engaged in a band to hand eucouutei with the horde of huugiy office wt-ki-rs. Tbe few appoiutment* that lit* has made seem only to whet the appetite ot the gang aud they crowd around the White Houae worse (ban ever. Aa fast as one position is filled the disappoin ed applicants, instead ot getting out of the way, simply up- ply for semetbiug else. One such with a so'id State d legation behind him has leeu “turned down* three different times this week for as many pos tions. There was some kicking among tbe Illinois Republicans here on ac count of the appointment of Geo. Tichenor, of that State, to be as sistant secretary of the Treasury, Wiudooi made the selecti n aud demanded tbe appointment, be cause be knew the man aud wanted him. Harrison yielded and made the appointment, but to conciliate the llliuois kickers he assured them that Ticheuor should uot be charged against tbe quota of that State. Seuator Payne attempt* d to stop the useless and expensive summer trip that the Senate select commit tee “ou relations with Canada” propose taking this summer iu mak. iug what they are pleased to call an investigation. Mr. Pajue re gards this committee as usurpatory of the functions of tbe tuuctions of the President, aud as iuterferriug with the duties of tbe regular Sen ate committee on foreign relations. It was uo use however. Ths Be- publicans were determined that this committee should have its ex> cursiou at Govermneut exp> use, aud the only satisfaction Mr Payne had was to place himselt on record as being opposed to the whole thing. Tbe army of ex-office holders who are asking reappointment as a vinucatiou have so far ail been left out. Tue future does uot ap pear cheerful to tiiem. The “new blood” fellows appear to be on top and from present indications they will remain there, Mutteriugs are already beginning to be beard against Harrison’s tardiness in rnukiug appointrm uts. The reason why he does not go t s ter is (hat ii takes so much time to settle lire figiil ul the rival candi dates. Ex-Secretary Vilas, who believes in doing the couiteous ilrmg at all time^, gave a dinner ou Tuesday evening iu honor ot his successor, Secretary Noble. Ex-Senator Mahoue fs fiyipg around Wasbiugtou trying to bud something to get hold ot. lie was badly disappointed at being left out ot tbe Cabinet, but is willing now to take somelLiug else. There is a rumor about ins having called ou President ilanisou ou Wednes day aud being badly snubbed. Seuator heck is back in ins seat iu the Senate, seemingly entirely reentered.

Iu no branch of journalism at tbe South has there been greater pros gross made, than in her agricultual literature. Although tbe devekp- merit has been slow, it has never theless been steady and i>erinaneut. The time-honored Southern Culti vator, the text book of Southern farmera, has been iu a pre-eminent degree tbe leading factor in mis development. Tbe March number, iu the forty-seventb ye r of its his tory, is on our table Sparkling and bright as have been p- ev ous numbers, tbe number before us eclipses any Issur ever sent out in the South. Tbe fact is, that the array of valuable matter in its col umns ia simply overwhelming, and we must content ourself with a brief mention ot a few salient points. Tbe illustrations, a marked feature of The Cultivator, are all first-class, and add interest to its pages. The articles from the pen of ths vener ated Dr. Daniel Lee arc, in them selves, a cyclopedia ot information, to say nothing of the contributions from tbe gifted pens of such ex> perieuced men as Jeff. Welboru, H. B. Geer, Hon. W. J. Northen, Thomas D. Baird, and a host ot others. Tbe “Alliance Depart ment” is fall to overflowing with words of wisdom from Hon. W. J. Northen, Hon. Felix Corpot, Hen. L. F. Livingston and other mem berff of the Alliance. Take it all in all, The Cultivator stands uai ivsled in agricultural journalism iu the South, and deserves to be iu eveiy Southern bonsebold. We unhes itatingly commend it to our readers. Only $1 per annum. Address The Cultivator Publishing Company, Drawer 8, Atlanta, Ga.
