The people 6f Mississippi are generally
aware that by late decision of the Uni
ted States Court, at Jackson, we have lost
our title to the Lauderdale Springs prop
erty, which has been used by us for three
years past as a home for destitute orphan
children We are in consequence of this
decision, therefore, compelled to do one
of three things: We must either abandon
the Institution altogether, and turn these
children out homeless upon the lr0rtd, or
We must pay the original owners of the
property more money than we think we
would be justified in doing, or we must
secure a new location for the Home. We
prefer the latter alternative and as we
have received communications from vari-
Gus portions of the State, calling our at
tention to locations considered eligible
and proper. we are induced to make this
public call for bids for a new location OF
the Home. These bids should state
among other facts, the following:
LIST. How much land can be secured as
donation, and how much can be pur-
chased adjoining it, and at what price.
A full description of the land should be
given, kind of soil, how much timber and
how much open land. We shall need at
least 800 acres; even more than this would
be desirable.
End. Whether the community will as
sist, and how much, in erecting the neces-
sary buildings. Also give price of lum-
Der.
3rd What are the facilities for reach
ing the particular locality, and how far
from railroad station.
4th Is the land well watered and
how would the Home be supplied with
water? from springs, wells or cisterns ?
All communications upon the subject
should be addressed to Rev. w. s. Webb,
Secretary of the Executive Committee, at
Charlottesville, Lowndes county, Miss.
Papers friendly to the Home will confer
favor by giving the above a place in their
columns.

Early VS.. I.ate Planted Corn

A writer in Hearth and Home saws that
corn planted on the first DAYS in june
will do better than that planted by the
middle of May"
Last season | planted sweet corn on the
10th of May; it lay fourteen days in the
ground before it came up; it then grew
very slowly until after the first warm
nights, about the 10Th of June, after
which the stalks gained in height nine
inches in three days Per contra. the
corn / planted on the Sd day of June had
just begun to make a stand, and it only
grew one-third as fast as the early-planted
corn on the same conditioned soil. The
early-planted not only kept ahead, but it
luxuriated in the succeeding drought, and
made large yield both in stalk and ear,
while the late-planted suffered from solar
heat, and made much smaller growth of
both stalks and ears 1t is true that corn
will not grow above ground in the cool,
wet days of Spring, but it will grow at
the root and be ready for rapid start as
soon as the warm nights of Summer be-
gin, and the plants will luxuriate in
drought that retards the growth of the
late-planted, slender-rooted corn.
have planted corn in the garden every
year IN the last forty, planting a row or
two every two weeks from early in Nav
to the first week in July, and never vet
had failure from early planting, nor
full yield from the latest planted, even
when it ripened before it was touched bv
an early frost. One thing is certain, no
full corn crop can be made in Western

days of Summer to grow in. When /

RESTORING WORKOUT LANDS. j. III.
WOODBURY., Kingsville, Ohio, writes to
the New York Farmers Club:
On a farm / bought some years ago,
there was an acre that had been cultiva-
ted until it was entirely exhausted 1t
was hard clay soil. Iplowed the ground
eight inches deep, rolled with heavy
roller to grind the clods, planted to corn
and MANFRED in the hill l had thin
growth of stalks and about forty bushels
of ears to the acre. Ipicked the corn
the first of September, when fairly glazed,
cut the stalks close to the ground and
plowed them under green. The next
spring | plowed and planted to corn, as
before, manuring in the hill, picked the
corn in September, eighty bushels to the
acre, and a heavy growth of stalks, which
were again plowed under. The same
plan was pursued the third year, when
the productive powers of the ground were
found to be fully restored.
He then sowed to oats and seeded with
clover and timothy, getting enormous
crODS.

TO TRANSPLANT FLOWERS.


From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Under the above caption l see commu-
nication in your issue of April Il, from W
A. Graham, of Flemingsburg Kentucky, all
of which heartily indorse except in rela-
ton to the planting, He says:
1.-The depth which corn should be planted
varies frOw two to six inches, according to
the nature of the soil and the time of plant
ing. If corn be planted very early, deep
covering viii prevent rotting.' Now what
little / know about corn culture was not
learned from any theoretical agricultural
journal, but from an experience OF more
than thirty-tive years, and my experience
is directly opposed to his statement. Deep
early planting will generally prove bad
stand, as we term it; that is, a great proper
ton of the seed will rot in the ground,
whereas very light covering will universal
ly come up well.
My plan is, in planting early,or before the
ground has become sufficiently warm to
start termination Immediately, to cover the
corn so lightly as merely to hide it from the
birds; but in planting late i always cover
deeply, taking care that no clods are put on
the corn. When this plan is followed, with
sound seed, yeu will never fail ola stand,
except in deep planting in soil that become
clammy and run together after a heavy
rain in that case it sometimes happens that
a crust is formed too hard for the tender
blades to force themselves through. Under
these circumstances, the only remedy is u
ROOu NAO SAuoS OSNOAAO0
too hard.
The philosophy of early shallow, and deep,
late planting, is simply this: If corn is
planted early and covered deep, 1t will inn
bibe sufficient moisture from the earth to
cause it to swell, but not being warm
enough to cause it to swell, but not being
warm enough to force it into life it soon
rOts. But in very shallow planting the rays
of the sun will soon impart sufficient heat
to canse It to grow, and when once above
ground It is safe, for although it may even
be bitten off by the frost it will net kill it /;
but if after planting the weather should be-
come so cold as to prevent ITS coming up,
when covered shallow, it will not rot from
the fact that 1t will be too cold for it to swell
and so long as it does not swell there is no
danger of its dying. In late planting, on
the other hand, the earth being sufficiently
warm at any depth TO start termination, all
We have to guard against is lack OF mois-
ture; for now If we plant shallow, the dews
at night will furnish moisture sufficient to
cause the grain to swell, and the excessive
heat OF the sun during the day will dry it
up and kill 1t, all the danger being while the
grain is in the swelled state, or first stage of
termination, for if you keep a grain of corn
In q condition that it will never swell, it will
never die; but if it once swells and then
dries, it dies. i have frequently planted
corn in the month of March, and the
ground afterward froZe for many days,much
deeper than the corn was properly covered,
never failed to have good stand.

English Trade.

The Financial Chronicle of the Stl
thus reports the state of trade at Manches
ter, the manufacturing centre of England:
The present has been one of the dullesi
weeks since the beginning OF the year, and
the sales have been much under the pro-
duction. The hatnesS in Liverpool has
communicated itself to the market, and al
though prices of both yarn and cloth have
given way, buyers have shown the greatest
Indifference about giving out orders. To-
day the tone OF the market has been no
worse, ard few more Inquiries have been
made. Producers have consequently been
induced to hope that little more business
may be forthcoming. but those transactions
which have occurred have been almost inva-
riably at prices lower than either spinners
or manufacturers would submit to on Tues
day. The position of trade is most dis
b earteniDg to producers, as Notwithstanding
the great decrease in the production, the de-
mand seems to fall off in much the same pro-
portion. In Blackburn alone, exclusive of
the outlying mills in the neighborhood.t there
are at least twenty manufactures entirely
closed, besides others with machinery par

perience no sensible relief. Neither i'm cot
ton nor in yarn is the decline equal to what
has taken place in cloth, if makers are ne
cessitated 10 sell. So far they have not
forced sales, but in the absence of business
stocks have tendency to increase, and BUSH
ness may only be brought about by holders
being obliged to give way and accept prices
which involve them in serious losses, in adj
dition to those which they have already
borne. No doubt in the course of time the
decrease in shipments since last October will
bring about better condition of things:
but in the meantime the crisis which the
trade of the district is passing through. is
most severe, and presses heavily on ali who
are engaged in 1t, including manufacturers.

1t is idle to hope for an increase in the

MIsCEGENATIoN. = The Charleston
News, of yesterday, says: Lieutenant
George p Wood, of Boston, Mass, was
married on the 25th ultimo, at Beaufort,
by the Rev. Arthur Waddell, colored
preacher, to Susan Ulmer, colored girl.
Wood, we understand, is from respect
able family, and held a commission in a
Massachusetts regiment, known as the
Bay States Cadets, during the late war.
His general appearance is that of a gen
tleman. The evening after their mar.
riage Wood and Susan promenaded Bay
street in company with another colored
girl, and on Monday morning took their
departure for st. Helena, where Wood has
store on one of the plantations of his
uncle, Mr.. George Frost, well known
importer of silks in Boston, Mass. Susan
is native of Beaufort, and was owned be-
fore and during the war by planter on

How IlIe Black Prince Won his
Spurs at Crecy.

Philip, ;'raging with anger and discon-
tent, asked John of HainauIt what he
should do, and the Earl advised him to
retreat. Philip took no notice of this
dastardly counsel, but rode forward lit
tie, and saw his brother, the Count of
Alencon, on an eminence, advancing to
attack the English. He would gladly
have joined him, but was prevented by
the confused crowd of his own soldiers.
The Count of Alencon on one side. and
the Count of Flanders on the other. now
made simultaneous attack on that divi-
sion of the English which was command
ed by the Black Prince, and about the
same time body of German and Savoy
ard knights broke through the Princes
bowmen to the men at arms behind, and
engaged with them in hand-to-hand
fight. Then the Earls of Northampton
and Arundel, who commanded the second
division of the English, seeing the furious
attack that was made on the Prince, sent
to the King to beg him to come to his
sons help. ''1s he dead, or endorsed. or
so wounded that he cannot help himself"
asked the King. ''No, Sire, please God.
but he is in hard passage of arms. and

Thomas" said the King, return to those
who have sent you, and tell them not to
send to me again so long as my son lives.
L command them to let the child gain his
spurs, for wish, if God has so ordered
it, that the day may be his, and that the
honor may rest with him and those 70
whom l have given it in charge" So the
knight returned with the Kings answer,
and the English fought more fiercely than
before. Vain were the efforts of the
French they could not break them. The
Count DAlencon, the Count of Flanders
and numbers of the French mobiles were
slain; the .Welshmen rushed in, stabbino
