The Gin Stand is new one, having been
running only few days. The gearing of the
Gin is very inferior and in bad order and the
team used was not adequate TO the task to be
performed. and the cotton was damp-yet un-
der these unlavorable circumstances, under my
observation. | holding the watch, the stand
ninned 100 lbs of seed cotton in five and halt
minutes being about 1000 lbs per hour, which
in 70 hours would yield Sd bales. weighing
$50 lbs each. have been planting for 10
wears and regard this as most extraordinary
Performance, have never seen Gin Stand that
approxinated- this excellence, The sample
was fair and good, from the cotton glnned, COM

,roduct of the first class gives of Carver La

DAY. onIy this Futz improvement must be re-
garded as most extraordinary
| ara perfectly satisfied that the speed OF The
Stand increased by the attachment will not in
ipre the sample nor waste the lint upon the
seed objects most ardently desired IN the
increased speed of ginning. The seed and trash
were elected from the saws without choking.

GRAPE VINES OUTLAsT A FAMILY-The in
ducements for cultivating the grape, aside
from the exhaustless demand for the article,
are increased by the fact that vineyard,
oace established, is a permanent thing. Its
productiveness is enhanced with age, and
the hundredth year of its growth still sees
it giving forth its yield. Thus, generation
after generation eff cne farniiy may five and
prosper upon few acres of vine- growing
region. A peach orchard, if we are not in
error in our reading, will not pro6tably bear
more than six or seven years, Cat any rate
it is so in several of the Atlantic States,) at
the expiration of which time the trees must
be dug up in order to convert the land to
another purpose, it being then unfit for any
more peach growing.
Another advantage Ia yine-growing Is that
there is in it a great economy of space. In
every vacant corner, in every sly nook, all
along the feuces, by the side of the house or
outhouses, trailing on the porches and on
the root, in a thousand and one places, unfit
for anything else, the vine may grow and
aourish.-Nationat Democrat.

CHIMBOR.AZO.

In 1902, Mumboldt ascended this great
peak of the Andes, to the height of 1926
feet, lacking 5, l3S feet of reaching its bald
and hoary semmit. He was several tedious
days in making the ascent, leaving thunder
storms at his feet and tempests of hail and
snow, while the raried atmosphere around
him caused the blood to rush from his ears
and nostrils. Still he continued his almost
saperhsRan efforts, and would have scaled
the prodgious height, but for sudden
chasm which opened between the point he
had reached and the main shaft which ter.
minated the peak. Great was his disap-
pointment, but there was no remedy. The
chasm could not be crossed. He could only
stand and gaze at the rugged and abrupt
height, as it lowered into the ether five
thousand feet above him. There was moth
ing left him but to turn from the scene of
grandeur and reluctantly retrace his steps to
the level of the common earth. No foot but
that of the mighty bird,
''The condor of the Andes. that can soar
Through Heavens unfathomable depths or brave
The fairy ofielne'northern hurricane.
And bathe his piumage in the thunder home,"
can ever rest upon the lofty top of that ma
jestic peak. He mayhap has "furled his
broad wing" upon that lone and silent crag.
How often have we thought, as we recur-
red to Humboldt's description of his hard
ascent and keen disappointment, how many
Chimborazos there were in the great world
of human effort. How many weary ascent
has been made in the upward path eff fame
or the thousand and one ambitions of cur
petty lives, without reaching the last grand
point desired! How snany a noble spirit,
warm with the energy of youth and glowing
With the aracr of genius, has began the toll
of climbing the Chimborazo of his ambitious
hopes; has struggled through the tempests,
and seen them vainly rolling at his feet, to
find at last that the great hepe of his life
was gcneIthat the secs4as had but whitened
his head and bowed his form, and that he
must abandon the long and toilsome effort,

done much, bat have failed I"
