ly TOO much to say that the entire middle
section of North Carolina is one great
gold mine. The ole has been discovered
in so many places, some at the SUFFICE,
and some deeper. tha. we may reasonably
conclude that ii abounds throughout. the
whole region which presents the same
general features 1t IS not in every la.
stance, however, that the laborer has been
rewarded for his time even where gold
has been found. The person who found
the largest lump of gold ever discovered,
died bankrupt: and all who have been
in the neighborhooi OF the mines will ad-
nit that instances Of poverty and dissipa-
lion abound there. A lew Individuals
have good sense 10 profit by the discovery,
but the great majority CT gold hunters
would be much more proftably employed
in digging their corn and cotton fields,
even at their present low prices. -Fayctt.

CURIOUS METHOD OF PLANTING
CORN Mr.. John w. Sweet, of Tyring.
ham, Berkshire Couaty. informs Us tina,
he plants his corn 10 the following man
ner, and has realized 10 BUSHELS Of
sheIled corn to the acre.,
He spreads what manure he intends for
the field on the g.een-sward then he
pIoughs the land into ridges about three
feet apart in the fall-each ridge or row
being made oil two back burrows turned
upon narrow stripe Of land that is not
disturbed. In the spring he rolls and har
rows these ridges, and on The top of each
ridge. IL or Ia inches apart. be plants his
hills of corn, or kernels in the Hill,
and cultivates his corn through the season
with the hoe, cul,iva,or and plough, as
much as be deems necessary. In this
method, he remarked that he was not
troubled with weeds or drought.
Ia the fall. as soon as his corn is ripe,
he gathers the ears, then-pulls up all the
corn.stalks between the burrows, and then
splits his ridges with the plough and COW
ers these stalks completely. Thus are
made his ridges for his second crop of
corn, to be planted the next spring. The
10 bushels was the second crop, planted
over the buried stalks.
The above is sufficient TO give the
reader an idea of this system. He con.
tends after the first crop he wants no ma
nure for his corn except The stalks applied

THE WHIG TARIFF.

 We make some extracts from compila- ton of the late tariff, under the above title. in the Springfield (lll.) Register, which we have verified by the official document in the list No. of the Merchants Magazine. Pre- missing that in England, which has heretofore been considered the most overtaxed country m the world, the average of the revenue ta- riff Is under 20 per cent, and the duties which are intended to be prohibitory, never exceed 335 per cent Our tariff reaches the enornity of l50 to 200 and more per cent. in some cases. In France, the average is on- iy l7 per cent.
 The tariff of 1898, the bill of abomina- tons,n averaged 46 per cent. The tariff of ls42 Is more grinding and oppressive, al- though the average Is 10 per cent less. h. stead of the long credit given in 1928, cash IS demanded for the duties. which makes q difference of l or per cent And the prices of all imported articles have fallen at least 50 per cent, which, of course, IS an increase in the duties to that amount exactly.

4 Public UaM ia q Spanlsh City-Al about seven in the evening, ''all the world" assemble on the upper walk-the ladies at first occupying the upper benches2 the gen. tlemen pacing up and down III the centre, and summing themselves in the bright eyes ot the seated beauties; but very soon these lat ter become tired of their repose--the benches are abandoned, and the Walk then becomes so densely tlfronged with promenaders ot both sexes, that 1t is a matter ot some dlfil- cultv to steer one's way clear through them. The costume of almost all these pretty loun- gers is the sanc-a black silk dress with short sleeves, and long net gloves, black lace mantilla, a natural rose or carnatlon at one side of the head, and large fan, (never in repose in the hand, form the simple and elegant toilette most i'll vogue Some few white mantiIlas are to be seen, but they are not advantageous to compleXions so dusly as those of the Gaditanas, and are not much in favor Here and there, a woud-be French bonnet and shawl, of some ineongruous mix ture of colors, show glaringly in the dark mass of yelled heads, as though purposely to demonstrate that the great secret of a Spa nish woman's beauty and grace lies in her mantilla, and that dressed like other women, her personal superiority no longer asserts it. self; for 1t is as true that no Spanish woman knows how to put on bonnet, as 1t IS an undisputed fact that none but Spanish Wo- man knows how to wear mantlla. Keep them to their natural dress of sable hue from head to foot, and they are the most elegant and distinguished looking race of women that can be imagined; but let them run riot among the bonnets, feathers, and colors, l (which they have no idea of asserting judi ciously,) and they sink to the level of the ill., dressed women of aay other country. There is one superiority, however, which they must maintain, let their dress be what 1t may, over the women of all other nations and that Is in their walk-that graceful swimming gail peculiar t0 themselves, which IS as happily free from the affected mincing wriggle ol French women, as 1t Is from the awkward grenadier stride indulged in by my country women. There is nothing theatrical or al- fected-nothing of what Addison has termed '.recitative dancing'-in the demarcde ol the Spanish women; but 1t combines an inex- pressible grace and harmony of movement which imparts charm to them beyond tha of mere beauty-a something without whicH beauty is incomplete, and which Virgil ha. rendered full justice to, when he caused Eneas to recognize Venus, not by the supe- riority of her face and form, but by her man. ner of walking:

 '' Will you take these three pieces, which you may attain at any tune by your labor and industry?"
 ssAs you say the book Is good, I will take 1t and read 1t to my mother" replied the boy. He took the Bible, opened 1t, and found be- tween the leaves gold piece of forty francs.

A REVOLUTIONARY HERO.
AN ACTUAL FACT.

The 4th of July, 1885, was celebrated i'll the usual manneBawith civil and military re- jocings, in one of the most considerable towns in eastern Pennsylvania On the evening of the day, public festival was held in a beautiful grove at the suburbs of the town. The committee of arrangements, by request of the orator, appointed for the occa- sion, Mr. -, collected all the revolution ary veterans they could find within the con- pass of several miles, and arranged them with fine effect on either side of the chair of the President. Every thing went off charming- ly-the dinner was eXeellent-the wine was delicious-the music was soul-cheering-and the toasts patriotic. After the Declaration of Independence was read, Mr. - arose and addressed the meeting in a strain of elo- quence which called forth heartfelt and rap- turous bursts of applause. He dwelt pathet- ically on the hardsaips and priyations of the little band of heroes who fought beside our beloved Washington, through that memora- ble struggle which ended in the glorious achievement of our liberties. In the midst of his discourse, he turned round to the old veterans whose moistened eyes showed how the chord that awoke in the recollections was touched; he suddenly questioned silver headed sephagenarian:
 .sWhat battle have you fought in, my old friend-won't you tell us?'

Interesting DialQgue.-Doat faii to read 1.-The following dialogue is copied from the Mill's Point Herald It is suited to eve- " meridian, and by the substitution of Me- chanic, Merchant, Lawyer, Doctor, &c., is adapted to all the various classes in the com munity:
 Farmer,-Good morning, Mir. Editor, wish you'd give me a paper, l want to see the news.
 Editor.--With pleasure, here is one just from the press. What have you in that bas- ket
 Farmer-I have some fresh butter, eggs, and about gallon of raspberries, which l have brought 10 market.
 Editor.-Well, neighbor Snobs, am glad that am out of butter; please give me a pound or tac0, If you can spare 1t.
 Fdrmer.-Y ou can have 1t all at a bit pound.
 Editor.-Very true, but gare you a news paper at your request; turn about is fair play, you know; now l want you to giue me some butter.
 Farmer.-But have brought that butter to sell
 Editor-We too publish our paper to sell; by ourlabors we live, and if you Farmers will not support us, we cannot buy your marketing. We cannot afford to give papers away.
 Fa,mer.-ButI asked for only paper, and that is not much you know; you will not miss that.
 Editor.-I asked you only for pound or two of butter, and sthat is not much, you know.
 Farmer.-Yes, that's all very true but if I should give you my butter, every body else would want to get 1t on the same terms, and couldn't sell any more to any person.
 Edaor.-Exactly, Farmer Snobs, now have brought you to the very point, wish you to understand It IS true, one newspaper IS of but trifling value, but let an editor get in the habit of giving his papers away to Tom, Dick, and Harry, whenever called on, who will be fool enough to pay for what others get gratis ?-besides, it is morally wrong to make paying subscribers pay for the papers thus wasted upon persons who re- fuse to contribute one cent to the sustain ment of the public press. We therefore feel It our duty to inform you, neighbor Snobs, that we do not gice papers away-if our pa per is not worth buying, it is not worth reading.
