By the way, the Southern Asylum, cor

your Legislature has swollen suddenly into
huge proportions It becomes an omnipotent
Real Estate Agency. 1t has fallen into the
hands of capitalists of three States and pro-
ceeds to sell an immense quantity of real
estate at ehe lowest cash prices. Gen. Frank
Armstrong, an elere of West Point and a
high-toned chivalrous soldier, and excellent
gentleman, has been made President of the
Company City and country property,
valued by Real Estate Brokers, will be dis.
tributed by lot, and the owner paid in cash
The Company's margin for profits, as sprovi-
ded in the charter, consists in the difference
between the cash price and that which
would be assigned the property if sold on
Ave years time. Ten per cent of gross pro
ceeds is appropriated to the foundation Of an
Asylum for widows and orphans. Whether
this institution will be located in Eastern or |
Western Mississippi, depends, as i am ad-
yised, upon the relative number of tickets |
sold in the two districts. There will be no
blanks reserved by the Company, as in lot

are taken in and every effort made
to retain her position and to pre-
vent her being driven from her
course, by adverse winds. When
a pressure is upon individual
finances it is necessary to cut
down all needless expenses, save
every cent that can be retained,
take in sail, or the individual for
tune will be wrecked. The crops
that have been made this year,
will not at current prices, more
than suffice to pay back advances
for the labor engaged in making
them. With little, or no money
on hand, and many months inter-
vening before another crop can be
made, with no disposition upon
the part of capitalists to gamble
in the matter ofadvances the pros
pect is not a bright one to the
agriculturalist. An enforcedecono-
omy, resulting from poverty, of
course will be the consequence, but
it would be far better, if econom-
ical rules, based upon fixed prin-
ciples, would be the basis of the
farmers action. Get rid of all
useless laborers. Hire none
months before there is need of
them just because it Clocks pleas
ant to have negroes on the place.r
Do not offer high prices. There
will be no difficulty in getting Ia
Dor at the proper time at living
rates. In addition, economise in
the use of corn and make it last,
until the next crop comes in be-
cause therei is little hope to procure
grain next season, except by those
who are prompt in their settle
ments with their merchants this
fall.
There are many ways by which
the farmer, his sons and daugh-
ters may economise, make and
save money. Time may be vast
ed in the country as well as in
town. A young white man can
cut in odd hours all the wood nee
essary for the use Of a household.
In the time wasted in riding over
the country, the fences of the
farm can be repaired and strength
ened. In the winter months,
fruit trees and grape vines can be
planted and garden spot pre-
pared for the purpose of raising
something next year for sale. Next
spring, if all the white boys in the
country will put their hands to
the plow and dispense with the
corresponding amount of hired Ia
Dor, their fathers would be the
gamer, the homestead would be
relieved of a portion of its debt
and the young whites of the coun-
try i'll this way assert and man.
tain their claim to superiority
over any other race. Much can
be done by the females of the
household. Looms are now made
by which thirty yards of fine cloth
can be manufactured in ten hours.
Spinning machines accompany
them on which little girls can
turn off thread enough to keep
two looms constantly supplied.

No UsE.-The "Goyernment,' .
we see, is calling for troops to
help fight the Indians, and we
hear that recruiting offices have
been opened in Boston, at Lowell
and other places near the 'shub of
the universe" The volunteers, we
fancy, will be few and far between.
The Indians, unlike the 'srebels," !"
have no spoons to steal, no pianos
to cart off, no little children's toys
to bag, no ladies' wardrobes to
make a present of to ones wife or
sweetheart at home. In the alb.
sence of these indispensable incen-
tives to Yankee patriotism, we
guess the recruiting sergeant may
as well shut up shop and let the
Indian have his own way.-[N. Y.

"A good Joke was lately gotten off at
hotel in Wales, where a number of gentle
men were. The conversation, which was
p0litical ard general, turned on John
Bright and all but one person fand he a
strangely engaged in it, berating the re-
former in most unsparing terms.g The
stranger rose and left the roOm.6 Calling
the servant to him, he said " If any of the
gentlemen in the room ask who | am, tell
them am John Bright" AS soon as the
waiter went back into the room he was
asked who that gentleman was. "That
short gentleman that just went out ?"
!" Yesn1o" Why, that's Mr.. John Bright,
M. p" It is easy to imagine the conster-
nation of the party. In little while the
short gentleman returned. Every mothers
son of them were prompt in making the
most /" tumble apology for their remarks.
The honorable gentleman graciously for
rave them. AT the same time he said that
he was SO often abused that he was used tn
it. Now, the best of the joke is that the
short gentleman, bright as he was, was not
john Bright, and it was the gentry who ate
" 'umble" pie who were not bright enough

"A fearful instance of cruelty to girl
was brought to light few days ago at the
Hackensack Court House, N. j., where
Henry and Margaret Vanderbilt were
charged with inhumanly treating a girl
they had taken from the New Jersey Asy-
lum for Orphans They had frequently
whipped her till the blood came, and then
washed her down with brine, and during
the eleven months she was in their house,
they had never allowed her to speak to
any one outside of it. S
An extraordinary act of foolhardiness
was committed recently at Bordeaux. A
young man, dressed as a sailor assembled to
the lower gallery of the tower of Pey-
Berland, and, finding that he could get no
higher, got outside, and clambered by the
projections up to the statue of the Virgin,
on the top, finally seating himself on the
head of the figure, where he remained for
a considerable time, dangling his legs and
smoking. When he was informed that the
police were after him, he came down the
lightning rod, and safely escaped through
by-street.
"A fearful double murder occurred, a
few DAYS ago, at Augusta, Ark. Mr. Til
man Gregory, "a very wealthy planter in
that vicinity, fell into an alteration over
game at cards with DIR. Cameron, in the
course of whichthe latter drew pistol and
shot the former in the hip. Mr.. Gregory,
being in liquor, tainted hun for not shoot
ing him better than that. DR.. Cameron
fired again, shooting him this time in the
breast Mr. Gregory placed his hand upon
his pistol, and, taking deliberate aim at the
doctor, shot him through the breast. Both
fell dead together.
