eENIohTED~ IGNORANCE,

How long shall this ignorance prevail SO produe-
tive of its bitter fruits How long shall the wife
and mother be ignorant Of the nature, character aud
causes of the various womb and sexual complaints,
smbittering her days by suffering-sufiering. often
prolonged to years, eventuating in a complication Of
diseases utterly and hopelessly incurable Shall
we for ever close our eyes to the results of physio-
logical science by which we may arrive at an
understanding Of ourselves as men and women,
subject to serious lifelong enduring diseases, and
perpetuating them to our children.

INITIATIVE Powers OF THE CHINEsE.-It
IS generally supposed that the Chinese will
not learn anything; but no people are more
ready to learn if it is likely to be attended
with advantage. They have lately been
taught 10 make glass, and turn out brouze
argand-lamps and globes embIazoned with
actually export these lamps to Batavia
They like putting an English name to their
commodities, and are as free with the word

They excel in the manufacture of locks, par
ticularly padIocks One of my friends gave
an order to a tradesman to varnish box,
furnished with a Chubbs lock, of which he
had two keys, and one of these he sent with
the box, retaining the other himself. When
the box came back, he found that his key
would not turn the lock, though the one he
had given to the tradesman acted very we'll
Thinking that some trick had been PLAYED,
he accused the man of having changed the
lock; and after some evasion, he acknOwl-
edged the fact, stating that, on examination
he found it such an excellent one, that he
took it off and kept it, making another ex-
actly like it, with makers name and every
thing complete, except that the original key
would not open it, Their mechanical con-
trivances generally have some defect of this
kind. They have never made watch that
will keep time, though they greatly prize
watches, and usually carry two. If you
ask the reason of this fashion, their reply is: /:

The next day but one gentleman. wen

the end of week the dealer, not having

little late, that he had been the dupe Of TWO

AGRICULTURAL.

THE CorroN CRoP.-A Merchant has
furnished the Mobile Register the follow
ing remarks Of 'one OF the closest obser-
rers OF the crops Of the country =
'Ihe opinions which | have several
times expressed to you in respect to the
forth coming cotton crop of Alabama,
are still unchanged. understand there
are few very good crops on the Black
Warrior, ten Or fifteen miles from this
place, but 1t is generally concluded that
the rrop on the low lands will not exceed
two-thirds that of 1852 or '53. On the
sandy uplands | am sure it will not turn
off above one-half
'Ihe crops on the black, or lime lands,
as they are Familiarity called, are said to
be more unequal than usual. Some, very
good, others very indifferent-lhe aver
age falling quite below the crops of 1852
aud 1858.
A friend of mine, of reliable judgment,
now planting in Marenso, has just re-
turned from North Alabama. where he

in the Tennessee valley to be about two
thirds Of last year, and says the corn

The cotton would be less effective by

1851, the drought was partial, while con

were visited by plentiful showers. In
1889, the spring and summer were un-

dry, and all the crops were unusually adj
