week. On Sundays only che front
doors are closed, while the rear ones
are always opened for policemen and
others to 60 in and drink. Tho ne
groes especially get drunk on this day,
when they spend the earnings of tho
week. Greater part of the liquor is
medicated, and while the universal
CRY is "Lo the poor negro" wo can
look among ourselves and Say
"Few bring back at eve. immaculate, the
manners OF tho morn"
Yet the morality and bearing of
the students Of the University has
been better than was ever known
Fortunately there is no talk bere
about forming militia companies. The
United States garrison is sufficient to
awe Ku Klux.
If every one will improve the fall
and plant good land in oats, taking
pains to put them in we'll, their stock,
will abundantly show the result of it
next summer. I know what say, by
the experience of this summer. Had
| not planted oats last fall, should
now either be giving no corn, or by
giving corn, be in debt to my factor
for every grain fed. AS it is, have
plenty of oats, and my work animals
show the good effect of it, while
only have bread to supply in bought
corn. Let every one, therefore, im-
prove the fall season, and SOW oats tho
last of October, or at least the 25th of
November. "Thoy that have ears to
hear let them hear" or next summer
lot them hold their peace.
Some think the oat crop humbug,
and 80 they are, planted on common,
or worse still, poor land, and out off
and pastured to death. But by the
exercise of Judgment, with careful
management, no crop pays so we'll as
oats. The cotton Drop is growing ra-
pidly now, and the corn, thanks to
good Providence, was never doing
better. see a great number of ears
of corn have made second growth of
silk, and by consequence have bursted
the shuok, and grown from ono to two
and three inches beyond, greeting the
owner with a "Jroad grim" at the
prospect Of ffat harvest. @
BADY's LINEN.--Au intelligent
young mother inquired some days
since how she could beat preserve her
ohild's linen clean and sweet when
changed frequently during the day.
| directed her never to dry. it by tho
fire, but in the sun and open air if
the weather permitted. You thus
not only avoid saturating the air of
your rooms with the volatile and poi
sonous gases driven out Of the linen,
but tho SUMS rays have powers of
cleansing and disinfeoting, which arti-
fetal heat. has not, and will purify and
preserve the linen. She followed my
directions, but as is two often tho
practice, dried and aired it in the
nursery window. Her fastidious hus-
band demonstrated in vain against this
unseemly exposure. Believing that if
she saw her practice as othcrs saw it
sho would desist, he so directed their
afternoon walk as to bring the nurse
ry window into full view from q cen.
trail part of tho town. Stopping
abruptly he pointed to the offending
linen, tapping conspiouously in the
breeze, and asked sarcastioally: ssMy
dear, whaais that displayed from our
window7" "Wby," she proudly re-
piled, "that is the flag of our union I"
Conquered by this pungont retort, he
saluted tho flag with swing of his
hat, and pressing his wife's arm olos
er erwithin his own, sung as they walk
ed homeward h"a
