says that one third Of its present popuia
ton would be ample to transact its bust
ness. ave may assume" il remarks
" that about fifteen thousand out OF the
seventy thousand men are entirely Idle,
and fifteen thousand more are nominaliy
employed. Five thousand others are
fully employed the year through, and the
remaining thirty-6ve thousand do on an
average only about half the labor and
business that they could easily do If they
coGld fad full employment"
No doubt the same can be said of every
other Southern city at the present time.
In New Orleans alone, it will be seen'
thirty thousand men are gaining nothing
more than a mere subsistence, if even
that. OF course it will be understood
that they are consumers and produce
nothing for the great family Ia which
they live. Think Of it, reader-thirty
thousand oilers loafng about the streets
of that city, and we are daily crying for
labor in the country to pick cotton, help
take off sugar crops or dc other farm or
plantation work We are continually
begging immigration, and our large cities
are filed with drones who would rather
live from hand to mouth, as it is called,
than shoulder q hoe and make a good
living With it. Now, it would be intel
esting 10 inquire into the nationality Of
these oilers, and il such q result could
be reached, we venture TO say that seven
eightbs are Americans, and fully one-half
Southerners. This may be a severe con
cluslon, but We believe it to be n fact,
however distasteFnl 1t may be. There
seems to be something abhorrent 10 the
mi0d Of a young man who was bred 10
luxury, or whose heaviest labor was to
measure laces and tape behind a shop
counter, to engage in honest, manly work
upon a farm. With such, a farmer, or a
farmers assistant, is not q genttemant
because, forsooth, be earns bis bread by
the sweat Of his brow 4 thousand
times better would it be for them to en-.
gage in such employment, and to throw
aside the foolish pride which ought TO
have died out with the extinction of
slavery. But not so it still exists even
IN a worse form than ever, because labor
is in great demand in the country at
fair wages, and because we no longer
have the "irrepressible negro to cling
TO as an indirect means Of support. So
many instances have been published since
the close of the war, where one man or
two men have made splendid livings by,
their own una 3sisled labor in the field
that we wonder many more have not
followed The notls example. Why it has
not been done can only be attributed to
the cause we assigned bcfore-a disgust
for anything savoring Of manual labor.

DEATH OF Carr. ToM URe.-Painful in.
deed was it to learn that Capt. Thomas
IRE died suddenly in New Orleans on
Tuesday of last week, Of apoplexy. At
the time, he was engaged on the steamer
b L. Hodge, g packet running 10 the
Donaldsonvilie trade. So long familiar
with the people of the coast, his loss will
be deeply regretted by all who enjoyed
his acquaintance. None will miss him
more than %ourself, certainly none will re-
greet his loss with deeper feeling. He

Peace to bis spirit. and may bis memory

There is no better defence 10 fruit trees
against circnlis than hogs. The following
instances where they have proved eilicacious
are taken from the Horticuitwist.
David L. Brown, one of the largest fruit.
growers near Alton, South Illinois, has for
about five years kept both hogs and sheen
~ his apple and peach orchards. His fruit
IS not infested by insects nearly as much as
that OF his neighbors, although he employs
no other precaution whatever 10 guard
against the dcpredations of fruit boring in
sects His peach-trees are also free from
borers, though he takes no pains 10 worm
his trees. His hogs keep in good condition
on the fallen fruit
MIR. >. u. johnson, Of Alton, had, last
year, Gs6s, the best crop OF peaches out of
forty orchards IN that nelghboIhOod. lie
attributes the largeness Of his crop greatly
to the tact that, in 1867, he allowed gang
ol hogs the range Of his peach orchard ali
through the months of May and June. until
the end OF summer.
We know cultvator who had heavy
crops OF plums for seventeen years in sue
cession-his swine for these seventeen wears.
without seasons interruption, being allow
ed the run of the yard.
The benefits of this practice may, in the
case Of beginners, not be so apparent and
decided the first year; but, by faithfully fol.
lowing up for series of years, there will be
found such direct advantage, as to lead to
the adoption of the principle as general
rule. As fast as the wormy fruit falls, it is
picked IN by the hogs. The laryu of tho
insect are prevented from going underground
and producing a new brood to sting the fruit
the next year.

IN interesting meeting ofthc farmers from
Delaware, Chester and Bucks counties was
held on Wednesday week at the rooms of the
" Philadelphia Society for Promoting Agri-

The country members advocated the an
pointment of commissioners, to be appointed
by the authority of the State to examine ali

were less cruel, and proposed mole hu

How to sena Fruit tn Market.


The editor of the Horticulturist makes
some good suggestions in an article on the
above subject. Not having space for his
article entire, we quote the most important
parts 1T. First as to
SHIPPING.
Invariably take receipts from transporta-
tion companies Make out duplicate in
voices, full and correct. Place one. marked
bill in one of the packages sent, that it may
be seen quickly by the merchant on arrival.
Also, advise the merchant Immediately by
mail of shipment, inclosing duplicate invoice.
Commission men experience vexatious de-
lays by resolving consignments not properly
marked, and without any invoices or advices
concerning them.
Bear in mind that good fruit, well put up,
and reaching the market in good order, will
always sell, even when the market is glut-
ted; while fruit poorly put up can sometimes
be hardly disposed of os gift.
ASSERTING.
1t is always of prime Importance TO assert
fruit according to Its quality. The best
quality, of course, always brings the highest
price, and gives reputation to the grower.
1t is best, generally, to send no poor or in
different fruit to market; but il it must
come, let it be sent entirely by itself, and not
mixed with good fruit. Too much care in
all these little particulars can not be exer-
cised. Let growers try 1t tor one season,
and they will be so practically convinced
that cit pays as never to forget the lesson.
PEACHES.
Slave baskets are better than splint bas-
kets, when baskets are to be used; they are
firmer and protect the fruit better.
Sort all the fruit uniform, both in size
and quality. Fill the baskets rounding full,
and shake down, so that they will be tight
and not move in handling.
The peaches should be picked by hand,
be perfectly dry, sound, and within about
five days of ripcning. Reject all bruised
ones.
BERRY BASKETS
BY all means use good, clean, strong bas-
kets those which have good measure, carry
well and are well veaiiated. Cheap boxes,
baskets. and crates are not worth using at
any price. They are not liked by either the
commission merchant or the retail dealer
and fruit always sells cheaper than if it had
come in good, permanent, return baskets.
The extra price on n single shipment will
often pay for the entire cost OF the baskets
In our markets, we always hear round
baskets, with Stats at the sides, uniformly
well spoken Of There is better ventilation
both among the berries of each basket and
also between the baskets The square bas-
kets, with Stats at the sides, are also popu-
lar, because of the great economy of space
in packing For reasonable distances, the
fruit will carry just as well as in the round
styles, and save n large amount in expenses
OF transportation. They are also cheaper
in price.
GIFT BOXES
are useless. 1t has been found by experience
that this theory, worry pretty in the abstract,
does not work in actual practice instead
OF being help, it becomes mere football,
repudiated alike by both buyer and dealer.
