According to one of our exchanges, Gov. Orr
has stated that q company, with capital Of five
millions, is now forming to commence manufac-
turing establishment on large scale in this State
Where, when, and to whom this statement was
made is not mentioned, nor is any information
given as to the nature Of the enterprise about to
be started with such ample means 1t is to be
hoped, however, that the statement is correct as
the use Of so large capital in any kind of man
ufacture will help to reconstruct our State on tho
most solid foundations. Capital is ons of the
wants of the South, which it will be found most
difficult to supply, and its advent into our midst
should always be heartily welcomed.

AGRICULTURAL. &C.
Culture Of PcacI, Orc,,.r,,.

The New York Tribune states that ,hs
best peach orchards in Ncw.Iersev are nv,
IN corn, till they begin to bear after which
they are plowed and narrowed witbop,
planting any crop. Bone dust is applied NJ
the rate of about four hundred pounds 70
the acrc-which some regard as the bes.
manure, while Others prefer manure from
the yard. The same paper further states
that when cultivation is not attended to.
the product is poor, and the business unpro.
htable. This accords with our observations
IN all places. No tree is more affected by
cultivation than the peach-when neglected
and encumbered with grass its growth is
not one.tenth rs great rs when standing in
clean mellow soil. 1t is much less labor to
keep peach orchard clean, when the trees
stand fifteen feet apart, than corn-f field,
where the hills are three or four feet apart;
yet no good farmer thinks of allowing his
corn to grow up to grass. There is nothing
to which the old rule, that the best way is
the cheapest, applies more emphatically
than to peach growing. We have measured
one years shoots, on trees kept well cultiva-
ted, that were from three and half to four
and half feet long; while others, standing
IN grass adjacent, had shoots from four to
eight inches-and there was nearly as much
difference as this in the quality of the fruit.

destrian feat now accomplishing by Weston
revives recolcc:ions of an Englishman, Cap
tain Barclay, whose exploits in this line have
never since been approached In 1896, when
only sixteen, he walked six miles in an hour.
Some years atterward, while in training for
match of ninety miles in twenty,one and
half hours, he walked one hundred and
ten miles in nineteen hours. In December,
1901, he made a hundred miles in nineteen
hours. 1t is said that he walked with his
body bent forward, so as to throw the
weight on the knees. His step was short,
and his feet were lifted but few inches from
the ground. His walking dress was about
the same as that worn by Weston.

night for the city of New York. (Here the

POETICAL.
"DoN'T STAY LONG"

A look OF yearning Tenderness
Beneath her lashes lies,
And hope and love unutterable
Are shadowcd in her eyes,
As in some deep unrutiled stream
Are clouds and summer skies.
She passed to carly womanhood,
From dreamy, sweet girl life,
And crossed the rosy threshold but
To find herself wife;
Oh gently should he lead her steps
Along the path Of life
And as she clasped her small white hands
Upon his arm 80 strong,
How often, lik. u summer sigh,
Or sweet pleading song
She whispers, with parting kiss.
"Beloved one, don't stay long
It's almost always on her lips,
Her gcntlcst parting word.
Sweet ns the fragrance from rose leaves
When by soft zcphyrs stirred,
And lingering in the memory
Like song of summer birds.
And in his heart they nestle warm,
When other scenes amid
lie stays not till she weary grows
And her fond eyes are hid
In tears which lie in bitterness
Beneath each yelling lid.
And oh how many hearts arc kept
By that love.uttCring song
There's scarcely one who on life waves
Is swiftly borne along,
But what has heard from some dear lips
Those sweet words, Don't Stay Long

Evening Parties.

NO one would accuse Thackeray of Pur;.
tanic scruples or tendency to relioiono
croaking. He speaks as close observ,,p
and merely humane critic in one of tbo
papers found in his recently issued volume
where lie says: "The system of evenina
parties is a false and absured one. Ladies
may frequent them professionally with an
eye to husband, but man is an ass who
takes wife out of such assemblies, having
no othe- means Of judging of bis choice.
You are not the same person in your white
Grape and satin slip as you are in your morn
ing dress. A man is not the same in his
tight coat, and teverish glazed pumps, and
his still white waistcoat, as he is in his green
double breasted frock, his old black ditto,
or his woolen jacket. And man is doubly
an ass who is in the habit of frequenting
evening parties, unless be is forced thither
in search of n lady to whom he is attached,
or unless he is compelled to go by his wife.
A man who loves dancing may be set down
as an ass; and the fashion is greatly going
out with the increasing good sense of the
age. Do not say that he who lives at home,
or frequents clubs in lieu Of balls, is brute,
and has not proper respect for the female
sex; on the contrary, he may respect it mcst
sincerely. lie feels that n woman appears
W advantage not among those whom she
can not care about, but among those whom
she loves. He thinks her beautiful when
she is at home making tea for her old father.
He believes her to be charming when she is
singing simple song at the piano, but not
when she is screeching at an evening party.
He thinks by far the most valuable part of
her is her heart and kind, simple heart,
my dear, shines in conversation better than
the best of wit. He admires her best in
intercourse with her family and friends, and
detests the miserable slip-slop that be is
obliged to hear from and utter to her in the
course of a ball, and avoids and despiscs such
meetings"

HINTS ON DOMESTIC ECONOMY MANY of
the poor suffer in cold weather for lack of
fuel and bed clothing. The following hints
are offered to such. Toincrease the warmth
OF bed to the extent at least of heavy
quilt, just paste the edges of four newspa-
pers together and place them between the
other covering, Paper is non n,porous, and
holds animal heat, when combined with
quilts or blankets. better than the latter
alone. Again, for lack of fuel, get the coal
dirt or screenings. which can be had at
coal-yard for carting away, and wetting it
to the sticky consistency. mould it in the
hands into rolls the size of snow balls; and
having fire already made of coal, place
these balls in the stove. Never disturb it
with poker or lever, but keep the door closed,
and for weeks q house can be thus warmed
with no other trouble than putting on the
balls. Some families, in no way compelled to
employ such economy, use little else.-- Ger

The Rev. II. Berry, in his excellant Essay
on Breeding, says: "a person selecting
stock from which to breed, notwithstanding
he has set up for himself standard of per.
iections, will obtain them with qualifica-
tions of different descriptions and in differ
ent degrees. In breeding from such he will
exercise his judgment, and decide where
indispensable or desirable qualities are want
ing, and will cross with animals with q view
to establish them. This proceeding will DC
OF the give and take kind. He will submit
to the introduction of a triIiing defect, in
order that he may profit by a great excel
fence; and between exccllences perhaps
somewhat Incompatible, he will decide on
"hlch Is the greatest and give it the pre-.
ference.
ITO farmer beginning improvement, tho
| pest advice is, to get as good bull as he
can and if he has good one of his kind,
to use him indiscriminatcly with all his
cows. and when by this proceeding, which
ought to be persisted in, his stock has, with
an occasional change of bull, become suffi.
ciently stamped with desirable excellences,
his selection of males should then be made,
to eradicate defects which he thinks it de
sirabe to get rid Of He will not fail to
keep in view the necessity Of good Wood in
the bulls rcsorted to- for that will give the
only assurance that they will transmit their
own valuable properties to their offspring;
but he must not depend on this alone, or hc
will soon run the risk Of degeneracy."
SECURE THE LEAvEs.--The woods are
now full of leaves. Indeed they appear to
be more abundant than ever, but farmers do
not value them as highly as we think they
should. For barnyards especially they are
profitable to haul in. They are obtanablc
too when there is little pressing work on
hand. Gathered up in heaps they can be
readily loaded in carts and wagons with
close shelvings by using either n cloth some
two or three yards square, or with wooden
rake and the arm. Hogs are very fond of
them for litter, so are cows; and for compost
they are excellent. AS oats straw is now
usually fed to cattle and rye straw commands
high price in the market, there is nothing
left for the purpose of littering except wheat
straw. Hence forest leaves should be held
in higher estimation that they commonly
are.
1t is good rule to gather them this
month or early in December, as they are not
quite dry and can be loaded more readily
and larger quantities can be got on the wa
gon.- Germantown Telegraph.
