the great antiquity of the world. In

johnson, Admiral Sir David Milne visit
ed sea grotto in the Bermudas, and
cut down and carried away as trophy,
q stalagmite, or natural crystalization.
The son of Admiral Milne adopted his
fathers profession and in his wanderings
over the mighty deep he often found
himself in the presence of scenes that
had attracted the attention of his father,
In 1868, A years after the old Admiral
had secured the crystalized pillar as a
trophy, David Milne, Jr., visited the
famous grotto in the Bermudas, and, on
examination, he found that another
sta!agmite had begun to grow in the
place of the one cut down and carried
away. This fact attracted the atten-
ton of geolOgists, and led toa scientific
investigation into the peculiarities and
natural formation Of the grotto. Two
drops of water fall four times minute
upon the spot, where, what DR.. Joulin
Indignantly denounces as n theft, was
committed. By careful measurement of
the young stalagmite, and an elaborate
computation, it is ascertained that the
pillar now in Edinburgh was the growth
of 600, 900 years.

A Suggestion.

The Ohio Statesman makes sugges-
tion to Governor Cox, of that State,
which our radical brethren may not
deem inappropriate for the considera-
ton of the Governor upon this side of
the river. The suggestion is that the
Governor, in his message to the legisla-
ture at its next session recommend such
legislation as will invite the negroes
who are so terribly Oppressed in the
South to emigrate to Ohio or to other
States where their peculiar and espec-
ial friends hold political power. Ohio
would, doubtless, be good place for the
negroes to 60 and the radicals of that
State would give practical turn to
their professed philanthrophy if they
would invite thither and provide for
the American citizens of African de-
SCENT" over whose wrongs in the South
they have shed so many crocodile
tears.
In view, too, Of the necessity there
is for enfranchising the blacks in order
to overcome the Irish Catholic vote and
retain the radical party in power in
West Virginia, it may be well for Gov
ernor FOREMAN to recommend to the
legislature in this State, the formation
OF a State agency for the importation of
negroes. General HARRIS should be
nrst at the head Of the agency. and the
distinguished "Southern loyalists1

CURSES DEEP But NOT LoUD.-The
Radical papers in New York say that
when Butler found the crowd would not
hear him talk, he called them towards,
thieves, rebels and other "pet Names"
It is probably lucky for that eminent
blackguard that the words were caught
only by the reporters-of which Butler
was well aware. During the war Of the
revolution, celebrated wag Of citi-
zen, gathering clans near Savan Rock,
was picked mp by a boats crew from
one of Hardy's fleet, and taken on board
for imprisonment; but by feignmg semi
idiocy, he was in day or two after
wards set on shore-and lost no time in
making his way TO the city.
In reply as to Chow" he effected his
escape, he told his gaping auditors he
''made it uncomfortable for the rascals 7
He told them his mind He called them
a set of piratical, relocated scOundrels,
Williams, thieves and cut-throats, from
the commodore down to the scullion -
why, l should have thought they'd a
killed your said one. "Well, perhaps
they wonld," replied the wag, "but I
took devilish good care not to say it till

Hints for Farmers.

Subsoil plowing furnishes strong
evidence of the value of deep plowing
Should corn be planted in subsoiled
field, the corn will be darker in color
and increased in height, and as sc.
quence the yield will be greater.
How absurd to attempt to cultivate
more land than you can manage. 1t is
time thrown away. 1t is better to till
twenty acres of land well than one hun.
dred in slo senly manner.
There is only two things worth look
ing at in horse-action aad sOundness;
for never saw n a"critter" that had good
action that was q bad beast.
Make farmers Of your boys, and you
will have the satisfaction of seeing them
honest, independent an6 respectable
members of society.
If your hogs are sick, give them ears
of corn, first dipped in tar and then roll
ed in sulphur.
In all compost intended for light,
sandy soil, clay is one of the most valu-
able ingredients that can possibly he
used.
When grasshoppers are so plenty as
to make the pastures poor, turkeys grow
fat. :.
Onions finely chopped and mixed with
Iudian meal, once or twice a week, and
fed to fowls, prevent the gaps and
many other diseases that fowls are sub
ject to.
A large amount of fodder can be got
from corn grown for this purpose than
in any other way whateyer.-Correspon-
dent ef the GernaHtora Telegraph.

Southern Enterprise.


The Southern people are displaying
considerable energy i'll the establish
ment of manufactures of various sorts
throughout the country. Attention has
been turned particularly to the erection
Of factories for working up the great
stople of the South upon the soil where
il is grown. In Georgia, North Carolina
and South Carolina manufacturing COM
panies have been formed and are now
going to work with the most flattering
prospects of success. The same is true
TO a still greater extent Of Mississippi.
At Carrolton, Jackson, Weston, Merid-
ian, Woodville and other places in that
State, mills are already successfully op-
Grating in the manufacture of South
ern staples. Throughout several of the
Southern States the subject of sheep
raising is attracting very general attcn-
ton, and capitalists are considering it
with a view to the manufacture
of wooden goods upon Southern soil.
This disposition on the part of the
Southern people to render themselves
independent of New England capital
aud productions is as commendable as
it is general. For many years the re-
suits of their labor have given employ
ment to the spinners and weavers of a
section bitterly hostile to their own,
and have built up in New England a
manufacturing aristocracy whose means
and influence are continually employed
to their prejudice. The very wealth
which the Southern people have ena-
blcd the cotton spinners of New Eng
land to amass has controlled the nation
al legislation to Southern injury, and
sclf-protcction would seem to demand
of the South such action rs will save
the enormous tax she has annually
paid to the great adversary of her pros
perity. The incalculable profits
derived from the manufacture of
cotton, cannot OF course be immediately
and entirely diverted from their former
channel, but with proper attention to
the subject the South can soon realize
sufficient to relieve greatly the financial
embarrassments under which she labOrs,
and to assure New England that
a vast proportion of the tribute hitherto
paid her is to be hers no longer. Mis-
fortunes are frequently found to be
blessings in disguise, and if the haughty
and selfish policy of the North shall
compel the South to develop her own
resources and labor for commercial in
dependence, she may yet be grateful for
the treatment which forced her to rely
upon her own energies and to utilize the
advantages with which nature has en-
riched her.

A correspondent of the Macon Tele-
graph, writing of some incidents of a
late session of the County Court of Put
nam, reports the following good re-
partee by J. A. Turner, one of the clev-
crest fellows in Georgia. Just before
the adjournment, and while the bench
and bar were iudulging in pleasantries,
DR.. H., a wag, applied for license to
plead and practice law. In order to
humor the joke, the Court appointed ].
A. Turner to examine the candidate for
license. Quoth Turner to applicant,
with great dignity and gravity, "what
is the first requisite to make good
lawyer ~ "TO be ID rascal" was
HIS ready response, followed by great
laughter, the spectators evidently think
ing Turner was "done for" But Tur-
ner arose with dignity, and addressing
the Court, said: "Siay it please the
Court, l deem it unnecessary to pro-
long this examination. DR.. II. has said
that the first requisite to make good
lawyer is to be id rascal. i pro-
nounce the Doctor fully qualified, and
move that he be enrolled as an attor-
ney of this Court"

The Reason Why.

In caioling article, published a few
days after the late election, the editor
of the Intelligencer wished TO know the
reason why the lrish-born citizens of
this country generally vote with the
Democratic party. He could not ina
ginc why warn-blooded impulsive
IriShmcn who were, just then, the re-
cipicrts of his 1attery, should refuse to
lend their aid to the advancement of the
glorious and superlatiyely lofty aims of
modern radicalism. The answer to his
query "Why should not Irishmen vote
the Republican Union ticket" is
found in the article from the
Ritchie Press which we pub
lished yesterday morning. The radi-
cal party has been and is now the ene-
my of every Irishman in the land, and
this the Irishman knows too well to be
deceived into its support. 1t is the foe
of all foreigners whose votes 1T cannot
control, and, right here in Wheeling,
where two thirds Of our German fellow
citizens are Democratic, it wonld, if it
hiiu tnv Pv"0i, .-.o'-a- from the ballot
box every citizen Of foreign Dlrtu.
1t has already thrown every
obstacle it could in the way OF
foreigners wishing to vote, by compel
ling men who have been citizens and
have voted without question here for
thirty years, or more, to hunt up their
naturalization papers and exhibit them
to the registrars. 1t. hostility to for
eigners and its hatred of both religious
and political tolerance have been exhib-
tied in hundred ways and during the
whole history of the party. He must
have q very contemplate opinion in
deed of the intelligence of our foreign
born citizens who thinks they can be fiat
tered, at this late day, into voting the
radical ticket.

Agricultural Machinery.

The farmers of our Eastern States,
compelled to till the rocky and uneven
lands. and used to small holdings do not
know by experience all Of the changes
which improeed machinery has wrought
i'm agricultural operations on the great
Western prairies. There machines do
the labor of men to such degree, that
the farmers heaviest tolls are lightcncd,
and one man is enabled to achieve, with
ease, the work Of n half n dozen.
We saw, recently, u corn-tield of one
hundred and sixty ACRES, Oh the Grand
Prairie" in the blowing, planting and
cultivation of which, no man walked
step. A rotary spade, drawn by four
horses, and driven BY man upon the
box, plowcd the field to uniform depth
of eight inches, and gave such thorough
tilth that it was not necessary to use
the harrow at all. A cultivator drawn
by two mules, one walking upon each
side of the knee-high corn, and driven
by man upon the box, completed the
culture of row at single operation;
and in the tool house lay another ma
machine, also to be drawn by horses,
which will cut down the corn
when it is ripe and lay it in regular rows,
to be finally gathered by hand. But it
is expected that by next year this ma
chine will be so improved as to gather
up the corn also.
When it is remembered that the
farmer who follows the common plow
or cultivator during a long summers
day, performs q march of from ten To
fourteen miles, it will be seen what n
boon is the machinery which relieves
him from this toll. And when we re-
member how scarce were men during
the last four years in the west, we shall
see that but for such labor-saving i'm
plements our vast crops of cereals could
have been neither planted nor gathered.
The farm of which the corn-field we
speak of was part, has seven hundred
acres in single field of timothy. OF
what use would this be if it had to be
cut by handi But half dozen harvest
ing machines tsufficed to cut it all in
good time; and it will do without
Hgroanin," the work of half q regiment
of men; patent horse-rakes gather it up,
and two hay-presses upon the place
squeeze it into bales fit for shipping.
Seventeen and half miles of board
fence inclose little more than half of
this farm, which has, as part Of its fur
niture, comfortable sheds for 10000
sheep, q rat-proof corn crib holding
1900 bushels of corn, and extensive
stabling for horses.
What machinery has thus done for the
west it will do for the south, now that
free labor is substituted for that of the
slayes.-EreniNg Post.

who fraternized with FRED DOUGLASS

who fraternized with FRED DOUGLASS
and DR.. p. b. RANDOLPH at tho Torch
and Turpcntine Convention would all
be efficient agents. There are hardly
enough negroes in West Virginia, if
they were all enfranchised, to keep the
State in radical hands, if all the white
men were permitted to vote. An impor-
tation from the Southern plantations
will be absolutely necessary to
elect either HARRIS or FOREMAN
to be Governor of West Virginia
in 1868. The slight obstacle which the
constitution offers in the way of the i'm
mediate enfranchisement of the blacks,
OF the Acknowledgement of Irishmen
will not stand in the way of our Govor-
nor and his radical friends. The whole
thing can be done by means of q simple
resolution of the Legislature amending
test oath and altering, in few unim-
portant respects, the present election
laws. The constitution never has stood
in the way of the radical party when it
sought to accomplish a party scheme,
and it will not be permitted to hinder
negro suffrage when so important mat
ter as the election of General Tom HARRIS
to be Governor is in the scale.
By inviting the negroes to swarm to
and settle in West Virginia, the Gov
ernor may "kill two birds with one
stone" He may not only exhibit prac-
tically his sympathy for the "down-
trodden African" for whom tho radical
bosom throbs and the radical bowels
yearn, but he may also contribute much
in that way to keep the State in radical
hands and for General HARRIS election,
