What to Read.
It is very important that vicious books
should be kept oat of the household.
Oue bad book cao do more harm to a
mind that is receptive of evil and wick?
edly inclined than a half doren good
books can possibly counteract. We
mentioned a book that sold well. A
friend told os it was a bad book not fit
for the home circle. We were afraid
to make the statement because we felt
- sure so.??e would buy it theo who other?
wise would give it the go-by.
We ooci condemned a novel as deprav?
ed, iud soon after we beard of some
girls reading it just to see in what tho
depravity consisted. The mind of the
youthful is ductile and impressionable,
and only the pure and wholesome books
should be read. No wise person will
read an indifferent book wheo there are
so many thousands of the best books.
It is a waste of time aod opportunity as
well as an abuse of privilege to read im?
pure aod inferior bocks, as it requires
as muon time to read a poor and
vicious book as it requires tc
read the elevated and great works of j
men rad women of genius. Make it a
rule never to read a second rat? book if
yon can get a better one. Adopt Mr.
Gladstone's rule of not reading any
book that ts not a year old. And turn
from low and vulgar books, or stories
with vicious or insidious motifs as yon
would turn from a cesspool of Sith or a
lazar house.
And this brings ns to say a word
. about the dear boys and-girts-the trea?
sures of the households in our land.
Xet them be supplied with bright books,
good books Works of travel, of ad?
venture, of the imagination are what
they need, but they must be selected
carefully, or harm may be done. [ |
.'Robinson Crusoe,*' "Sanford aod Mer?
ton," "Arabian Nights," "Ivanhoe" 1
and ''The Talisman," among the old ?
books, are of the best for t
them. Then among books written i
since Scott, they might read with \
delight and profit, Pick wick Papers'* 1
ano "Nicholas Nickleby,*' and the first i
few chapters of "David Copperfield." (
Do not put "Oliver Twist," by the 1
same great ant Lor, Dickens, in their <
bands. Ali of Thackeray about boys- t
Pen and Clive, and Rawdon, and old t
Figs and Briggs, may be given them, c
Let them read "Tom Brown at Rug- t
by," by all means. Scott's "Quentin i
Durward" and "The Pirate," and "The t
Fair Maid of Perth," might be read
with innocent relish. Then there are
Cooper's tales of "The Last of the
Mohicans," and "The Spy" that might
be well included. Of later works,
there cannot be anything better than
"The Schonberg Cotta Family,"
''Swiss Family Robinson," "Kidnap?
ped," a book of marvellous literary
skill by Stevensoo, "Little Lord Faun?
tleroy," and one or two others by the
same gifted hand, "Uncle Remus/'
Miss Marfree's "Down the Ravine,"
* capital piece of work, and Page's un?
equalled, inimitable stories. We might
extend ike list. These are works for
boye and girls of intelligence to read,
mho eas understand and relish books
above tbs dime novel standard. Be
sure to provide pure, healthful, invigo?
rating, stimulating food for the minds
of your sons and daughters Gen.
Long's "Life of Robert E. Lee" is an
excellent book for boys and girls from
fourteen years and upward. Before
this writer was sixteen be had read
such books as Hume's "History of Eng?
land," continued by Smollett and Mil?
ler in four large octavos ; Rollins's
"Ancient History*' in eight volumes,
Kobertson's "Charles the Fifth,"
much of "Plutarch's Lives," Shakes?
peare, Milton, and many other works
of a ao?id character. That boyish
leve for books, and the best, has been
our friend and consolation as well as
stay all through the eventful years that
have followed. Any one who really
loves good books may well thank God
for the ?ift.- Wilmington Messenger.
The English Sparrow.
The English sparrow which was in?
troduced in this country about a decade
ago, bas become a terror not only here
bot all over the country He was first
let loose n Fairmount Park, Philadel?
phia, for the avowed purpose of exter
mioatiog worms aod caterpillars, bot it
bas been said that be immediately be?
came the boon companion aod bosom
friend of these virmicules. He quickly
made his say to the South and seems
to be committing havoc io the feathered
kingdom in this sectioo, Ao observer
says 'he thinks that he hears fewer of
the South'* greatest songsters, the mock?
ing birds, now warbling than ever be?
fore, and believes that tbe feathered sing?
ers are abandoning this section. The
only way he can accouut for their disap
pearance is the advent in this section of
the Eogli>h sparrows, which have be?
come the greatest oui^arsces wherever
they have made their appearance.
They are turbulent and pugnacious lit?
tle birds, :>v.d all other birds which do
not possess the same characteristics
make haste to abandon their favorite re?
treat and leave the sparrows in posses?
sion of the field * It would be a great
pity indeed if the South's favorito birdh
should be forced out or exterminated by
the English sparrow, and any means to
exterminate or drive him away should
be resorted to. as one mocking bird is
worth the whole race.
Cleveland's Courtship.
Mrs Grover Cleveland told somebody
the other day the way she was courted :
" 'Oh, there are the .nottt ridiculous
Stories told about us, bot honestly, they
are hardly as funny as it really was
Uncle Grover proposed to me five limes
be ore I aocepted him First, wheo I
was 14, and I just laughed at the idea,
for he seemed so much older. Then
again two years later, wheo I weat to
college, and the third time when he
was elected Governor of New fork. I
was by DO means ready to marry any
one, and he ?et things go for a year, or
nntil he was nominated for the Pres
sidency. Then be asked me again, and
I again refaced. At last be was elected
and I promised to marry him io a year.
Of coarse i always liked bim better
than any one else, and I always meant
to marry bim some day "
Gen. E T. Stack house left last Mon?
day night for Atlanta to attend a meet?
ing of the presidents of the State Alli?
snoes of rhe colton States. The meet?

discussing the baggiog question.-Fte I

The Tare on Qetton.
The Southern Manufacturers' Asso?
ciation in a recent meeting in Augusta,
decided to withdraw its offer to pay a
bonus of 10 cents on every 100 pounds
of cotton its mills received from pro?
ducers wrapped io cotton bagging.
This bonus these mills have been
payiug during this season, and it has
operated more as a moral support to the
farmers than an actual aid of impor?
tance in thc use of cotton bagging, as
really only a small minority of the
farmers of the Sooth sold their cotton
directly to the mills. The main balk
of the crop was sold to the exporters,
aod not to the mills, aod every bale
so sold covered in cottoo bagging
brooght a loss to the producer It is
stated now that next season the farmers
will demand that cottoo shall be sold by
net weight, and tare will be allowed
only in proportion to the weight of the
covering used. If this is adjusted it is
evident that the best covering of native
growth for the fanners to use will be
that which is the strongest and most
durable, and also the cheapest ; aod
we do not think it possible for cotton
bagging to fulfill these requirements. (
It is stated that the bead men of the i
Alliance are now in correspondence I
with the cotton Exchanges in Liver- t
pool, Havre aod Bremen, with the i
view to have the tare oo cottoo adjusted c
to the actual weight of the covering t
used. There is justice io this, aod if i
it is done the cotton bagging msy be i
used at less loss than it was last season ; 1
but with the lowest grade of cotton c
worth 10 cents per lb., it is difficult to c
see bow strong cottoo bagging of 44
ioche? width cao be manufactured and
soldat less than lo or 14 cents per t
^ard.-Aiken Recorder. t

On the subject of cottoo seed sugar
he Manufacturers' Record, standard au
bority, says : *The latest reported dis
?overy in connection with the cotton
eed comes from Germany, where, it ia
laid, a process bas been discovered fur
ixtractiog sugar from cotton seed meal.
The sugar is of a very superior grade,
>ot cannot be sold iu competition with
he ordinary article. It is said to be
nciined to ferment or sour, and hence
metter for use in preserving fruits. It
s said to be fifteen times sweeter than
jane sugar, and twenty times more so
han sugar made from beefs *
The cotton seed oil manufactured at
he will in Marion this season ha* been
>f a very superior quality and when pat
>n the market ha? brought the very
highest prices offered for unrefined oil.
When ordinary oil wa4? selling at only
rwenty seven c**nts the Marion oil sold
for twenty-eight and there was a de?
mand for it at that price Mr. B K
Mullins received a letter a few days ago
from a prominent dealer in New York
asking for additional shipment* and
stating that there was a strong demand
for oil of the same quality as that
manufactured here lu addition to
this the yield of oil from the seeds has j
been large, the average being about
forty and one-half gallons per ton.
