!RHL OF STEAM-FLuw I,nv ~,.....-.---
Quite number Of the leading planters and. mer
chants Of our State were present yesterday at the
trial OF the steam-plow imported by Moasrs Long
street, Owen & Co. The trial took place at tie
fair grounds OF the Mechanics and Aericnlt1,raI
Association, and the apparatus, under the direc-
ton Of NJ Max Eyth late engineer in chief to the
Pacha OF Egypt evinced to the fullest Satisfaction
OF al present it's wonderful capacity as marvel
lousy complete and effective agricultural impie-
ment. Some OF our most extensive planters Who
were present at the trial were eraptured with the
swltness and accuracy with which it performed it's
work, albeit the ground was unfavorably adaptei
to 9 true and fair exhibit Of lts powers n u
The plow moves between two engines with such
ease and celebrity, guided by one man, that the
work Of forty ordinary plows, with all the neces-
sary hands and acconap panimcnts, can be perform
ed IN twenty-four hours, and every moment Of
favorable weather may be improved with such
proDlpttude and certainty that no time is lost in
preparing the soil sor whatever crop may be de-
signed. The advantages Of this wonderful I'M
proyc'"nt need only to be seen to satisfy all who
are in agriculture OF its aaptability to
our sci and the economy and practicabilty Of its
WORKING on q large Or small scale. 1t is such an
enterprise as should interest every planter and
merchant II tho State, and promises vet to- reyo-
lutlon1ze the system Of Southern apricultnre We$

We find in an exchange somewhat OF an amusing
statement Of reportorial doings which did not OK
actly convey the ideas Of the lecturer. The re-
porter thus put the lecturer in print: ;ss
The lecture last evening was a brilliant affair
The hall ought to have been filed. We are sorry
to say only forty persons present. The speak
et commenced BY saying that he was by birth al
ecclesiastical deduction, gave a learned descrip-
tion Of the de.il, and his skill in saving trees
Among ether things, he stated that the patriarch
Abram taught Cecrops arithmetic. We trust the
eloquent divine may De induced to repeat the lee
ture at some future day" & ls
The next day the lecturer came out with the fo:-
lowing letter, in which he rudely spoils the report
by correcting few mistakes:
Dear Sir I'm report OF my lecture in your
beautiful citv, you have made some mistakes which
wish to correct. You made me speak Of myself
as by birth an Ecclesiastical deduction;" what
said was that was not by birth but only eccle-
siastcally Dutehman. Instead OF speaking of
the devil saving trees, spoke OF him as sowing
tares. have said nothing Of Abraham, but spoke
OF the Arabians as nomads of patriarchal sinpici-
ty. said that Cecrops was the founder Of Athens,
and instructed the people in agriculture.

a dispatch received 10y the Atlantic cable,
yesterday announced the death of Charles
Forrer Browne, whose humorous lectures
and letters under the Pseudonym of ''Arte-
mus Ward" have become known wherever
the English language is spoken, aud genial,
genuine wit, and lively, but unmalicious,
satire are appreciated Mr.. Browne was
born i'll Waterford, Me-, in 1888, and we
believe, and, in his younger days, was a
printer. In 1852 he resided in boston,
rnd there his first essay in the field of let
tiers was made; a series of his contributions
to Mrs. Partingtons (B. P Shilaber's) Cur
pet Bag, over the signature of ''Chub
having attracted no little attention at that
time In the spring Of 1853 he removed to
Toledo, Ohio where he took charge of tue
local columns of the Dolly LommeroiGL
newspaper, and remained there-exctp pit for
d brief interval devoted to other pursuits
elsewhere until the autumn Of 1856. He
then removed to Cleveland, and became
city editor of the PLaiadeaIer. In that pc.
sition for the purpose Of lending interest to
his department, the legitimate chronicles Of
which in the quiet Forest City, were rather
dry and meagre, he commenced the publ
cation of his 'Artemus Ward" letters the
success of which has been 50 remark able.
Ineseat once gave him rank and reputation
among the best aud foremost of American
humorlsts aud. in 1860, he was induced to
take up his residence in New York, where
for some time he was a leading contributor
to Vanity Fair.
In November, 1861, he made his first APP
pearance as a lecturer, selecting New Lon
don, Connecticut, we believe for Lis debut,
and achieving an immense successes. Soon
after he repeated his lecture i'll New York,
and in most of the cities of the East and
West, everywhere adding in his new career,
to the reputation gained in the old. He
visited California four years ago aud on his
return. with his lecture and panoramic pic
ture of his journey to the golden state sue
ceeded in filling large ball in New York
city for one hundred consecutive nights.
Last summer he went to England, con-
tributed a series Of letters to Pupcb-whch
have not been very highly appreciated on
this side of the Atlantic-and gave his Cal
.ifornia lecture at Egyptian Hall, London,
for several weeks, to the great delight of
the Cockneys.

cans are not only an extravagant but an osten-
tatious people. We habitually spend too much
on our own stomachs, and our neighbors' eyes.
We are continually in hot water, not because
we cannot live in comfort on our means, but
because we persist in spending more than we
need or can afford. Our youths squander in
extra food and drinks, in frolics and dssipa-
ton, which do them harm instead of good, the
means which should be the nest-egg of their
future competence. When cares and children
cluster about them, they grumble at their hard
fortune, forgetful that they wasted the years
and the means which nigh and should have
saved them from present and future poverty.
All these are very trite, h0mely truths
All our boys have heard them again and again;
but how many have laid them to heart. We
assure G. G. s., and every other youth, that
each may become rich if he will-that ITO be
or not to be" rests entirely with himself and
that his very first lesson is to distrust and shun
by-paths and short cuts, and keep straight
along the broad, obvious, beaten highway.
