IMMIGRATION TO CANADA-The Toronto Lea,
der complains that the Immigration from Eu.
rope into Canada this seastn will be very small
smaller probably tharlt has been in any
year in the last quarter Off century. 1t thinks
the whole number of Cnada emigrants will
not exceed 5000, althougn the number of per.
sons emigrating from EGope will be greater
than last year. The enid cause of the falling
off in the immigration to Canada is attributable
to the fact that the Englih holders of Ameri.
can railway stock and bords, have a direct per
sonal motive for recommending British and
Irish emigrants 10 go to tie United States, and
to the farther fact that Numbers of the English
house of commons are oft,n heard to express q
preference for the U~nitedStates over Canada
The accounts sent back b. the emigrants set
tied in the United States aid in Canada, doubt
less have much to do in directing the western
tide.

Several OF our capitalists are about to en-
gage extensively in the manufacture of leather
and shoes in Marshall county. A gentleman
informed US on last Monday, and a gentleman
of means too, that be had made arrangements
to go Immediately to work, in establishing a
large tan yard, and that ii was his intention to
employ shoe makers to make up his leather, as
soon AS tanned, into boots and negro shoes
His calculation is to sell at least ten thousand
dollars worth of negro brogans yearly. This
is a blow from the right quarter at the Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut abolition sh~oemakers,
from whom our merchants buy annually hun
dreds OF thousands of dollars worth of Shoes
Shoes made from leather manufactured here
will last much longerthan northern made shoes.
from the TACT that we have the bark to make
proper tanning, and the northern States have
to substitute something else, that soon rots and
destroys the leather. We can also purchase
hides at cheaper prices, and, of course. even
admitting that the making may cost US a few
cents more per pair, We can sell better and
cheaper shoes than we buy from the north. No
country under the heavens offers more facilities
to The manufacturer than our sunny south. and
we sincerely hope that the day is not far distant
when every article Of prime necessity that our
people need will be raised and manufactured in
the south. Holly Springs Miss South. Her.

THE TOMATO-ITS PROPERTIES.

DR.. Bennett, a professor of some
celebrity, considers the tomato an in
valuable article of diet, and ascribes
to it very important medical qualities.
l. The tomato is one of the most
powerful aperients of the Materia
Medica, and in those affections of
the liver and organs, where calomel
is indispensable, it is probably the
most effective and least harmful agent
known to the profession.
2. That chemical extract will be
obtained from it which will altogether
supcrcede the use of calomel in the
cure Of disease.
). That he has successfully treated
dIarrhna with this article alone.
4. That when used as an article of
diet, it is almost a sovereign remedy
for dyspepsia and indigestion.

covered, as then they will sprout again
if cut by frost or worms. II the plants
are very long put in more obliquely
so that the foot of the plant will not
be too far from the surface. Some
think they will grow to better size,
and mature sooner, to break the ridges
into hills, once in two feet, and hoe
up more conically. Where but few
are planted, it might, perhaps, be the
best method. In ridges, plant Is
inches apart. In hills, one plant in
each. Plant from 10Th of May to mid,
die Of June, or as early as safe from
frost
AFTER CULTURE.-About ten days af.
ter planting commence stirring the
ground. Hoe often, but be careful
not to strike with sharp hoes so near
the plant as to cut off the young pota-
toes. When the vines commence run
ming, cultivate the ridge on each side
OF the plant with a common cultiva-
tor, and throw up again with shovel
piow. Bring the dirt toward the plants
IN hoeing to preserve the ridge. Do
not cover the ends or other parts of
the vines with dirt. Neither cut them
in hoeing, but lay them on the ridge
out of the way. 1t will not harm to
lift them if they have commenced
roofing at the joints. Some think it
beneficial. Give them a good dress
ing after the vines are we'll started
and they will soon cover the ground
and take care of themselves. Dig for
immediate use at any time when large
enough, as the Nanssmcm variety is
good at any stage Of growth. Dig
all when the ieares are first touched
with frost. Cut the vines each side
Of the ridge with the point of an old
scythc. Dig with broad tined forks,
by thrusting down on one side or be-
tween the hills, and throw out all to-
Gether. Handle with care. Put away

OVER THE RIVER

Over the river they beckon to me,
Loved ones who've crossed TO the other side,
The gleam Of their snowy robes see
But their voices are lost in the dsshing tide
There's one with rnglets Of sunny gold.
And the pale mist hid him from mortal view.
We saw not the angels who met him there,
The gates Of the city we could not see,
Over the river, over the river
Ny brother stiuds waiting to welcome me
Over the river the boatman pale
Carrying another, the household pet
Her brown curls waving in the gentle gallo,
Darling Minnie see her yet
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
Aud fearcssly entered the phantom bark,
We felt it glide from its silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark
We know she Is safe on the further side,
Where all the ransomsd and angels be;
Over the river, the mystic river,
My chtldhood's lido! is waiting for me.
For none retura from those quiet shores,
Who cross with the boatman cold and pale;
We hear the dip of the golden oars,
And catch a gcam Of the snowy sail
And 10! they have passed from our yearnng heart
They cross the stream and are gone foraye,
We may not sunder the veil apart
That hides from our vision the gates Of day,
We only know that their barks TO moro
May sail with Us over lHo's stormy sea;
Yet somewhere know on the unseen shore
They watch, and beckon. and wait for me
And sit and think when the sunsets goid
l. flushing river and hill and shore
shall one day stand By the water cold,
And list for the sound Of the boaiInan's car;
l shall watch for the gleaIn Of the happdng sliI
shah hear the boat as it ncars the strand,
shall pass from sight with the boatman pale,
To the better shore Of the spirit land,
] shall know the loved who have gone before,
And Joytuliy sweet Will the meeting be,
When over the river, the peaceful river,
The Angel Of Death shall carry me

American Sunday School Union.

This is one of the institutions of oui
country-one of the bulwarks of the
nation. Its existence is Il great fact
It's impregnability is guaranteed SC
long as il stands upon the foundation
of eternal truth. The one grand oh
ject contemplated by its organization
in the year 1924, was the diffusion OF
scripture knowledge among mankind
with view to their eternal salvation
This Society, composed as it is OF
individual christians belonging to the
various evangelical denominations
viz: Congrcgationalists, Baptists
Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopal
ians, Moravians, United Brethren, Lu
therans, Reformed Dutch, German Re
formed, aud others, being of one faith
in the saving truths Of the Bible
would seek to advance the interests
of the country in the following man
ner:
First, To plant Sabbath Schoo
where there is destitute population
Second, TO aid in the support anc
Improvement Of existing schools.
Third, To publish and circulate re
ligious books in every part Of the land
The American Sunday School Unior
is unsectarian in its character, anG
does not seek to build up one dcnomi
nation at the expense Of another
neither does it frown upon denomina
tional schools on the contrary, it aids
and assists all alike without distinc
tion. 1t is great missionary enter
prise and its missionaries, whose time
and talents are devoted chiefly to the

1t is resolved upon doing more in the

of our fertile State have received mucl
of the present good they enjoy by
means of this and kindred Institutions
and in its mission of love and mere,
to the young. The American Sunda,
School Union aims to gather the LITTLE
ones into Sabbath Schools, where they
may be told the "the sweet story o

the great Shepherd, saved from 81,

cue them but the Lord Jesus Chris
