SUBSCRIBERS TO oNEwsrAPERs.--Ve would
have some subscribers learn, that before they
have any right to find fault with newspa-
per- they should discharge their own obliga-
tons to it, by honestly and promptly paying
what they owe--ior how do they know that
the deficiencies they imagine to exist may
not be occasioned ny the neglect Of themsel-
vcs and others, to support the Editor and the
publishers, as they engaged TO do. Let us
suggest, also, in this connection, that the ex-
pcrience OF Newspaper Editors will probably
go to prove, that nine out Of ten Of those who
find fault with their papers, have not paid for
them. When man has made hip,self the
real patron of journal, he generally discov-
ers more readily its merits than its demerits.
Moreover. we would that some of those
who subscribe 70 newspapers, Would learn
that thsIr OBJ tiqns tor tffoy1I not,
sslss 5la M s';;ss
cal acknowledg of indebted ness, byre3
ceiving the paper, exhibits an obIiquity Of
moral sense. which we deem utterly incon-
sistcnt with tho character OF that noblest
work OF God-an honest man.-Southern

WHAT Is LAW LIKE.!-Law is like a
country dance; people are led up and down in
It till they are tired out. Law is like book
OF surgery-thcrc are great many terrible
cascs in It. II is like physic toe, they that
take the least Of it are the hest off It is a like
homely gentleman, "very we'll to follow" and n
scolding wife, very bad when it follows U.s.
Law is like new fashion, people are be-
wltchcd to get into it; "and like bad weather."
most people are glad to get out of it.
Glass milk pans are coming into use in En-
gland, and are there considered much prcfera
BILE to any others. Ii the milk becomes acid
in wooden pan, the wL,d absorbs portion of
the acid and must, in some degree, effect the
fresh milk the following day. In an earthen
or tin pan, any acdi,y in the milk will act I'D.
on the lead with which those articles are COW
cred, and the milk will be in some degree i'll
juriousy affected The glass is entirely ex-
empt from any OF these effects, and hence it's
value. This subject is well worth the attention
OF both our farmers and glass manufacturers.
PoMEGRASATE CoTroN.-Sincc our last,
in which we noticed the existence Of this sim
gularly prolific and superior species of cotton,
we have had the pleasure of an interview
with Gen. G. d. Mitchell, of Warren coun-
ty, Mississippi, now in this city, who has
with him several specimens of the plant, in.
dicating it's rich and luxuriant qualities. 1t
is decidedly superior to any species Of upland
cotton which we have ever seen. The bolls
arc larger and more abundant, literally cover.
ing the branchcs the staple is longer, stout
or, and finer, am, the cotton can be picked or
gathered with greater ease and rapidity.--
The stalks and branches have the pccuari-
ty Of having no joints as in other varieties;
and being stout and upright. Gen. MITCHELL,
who is highly intelligent and practical PLAN
ter, has cultivated this cotton for two years;
and has found it easy Of cultivation, and re-
prolific. One acre yiel;!cd over
six thousand pounds of superior cotton, Of
which one hundred pounds in the seed furn-
ishcd ,hir,y-two and half pounds Of the lint:
BY accurate experiments, he found that sixty
five bolls yielded ono pound of ginncd cotton.
The origin OF this species oi cotton is in
volvcd in some obscurty, rs it was accident
ly obtained, but specimens of the plant, and of
the produce in the boz, the raw-state, and
ginncd, may he seen Mt the counting room Of
Messrs. Baker, Williams d Co., where tho
seed can be obtained.--Nlobiie Register.
