The South and the Country

Alta late meeting of the Fruit
Growers Club, in New York,
Gen. Tochman read from the
report for 1857 Of the Statisti-
cal Bureau at Washington, that
the population of the Southern
States for that year was $685.
7O9, while their exports were
1928, 406,757. The population
of all the other States in the
same year was 24,916,765, and
their exports s243, 202, 243 ;
hence while the Southern States
had but twenty eight per cent.
of the entire population, they
furnished sixty nine per cent.
of the total value of exports, or
1874. 80 per bead, while the pro
rata share in the other States
is but $25.75. This is not &C
cidental or an isolated instance.
The same difference has been
maintained since the beginning
of the government. Before the
w. T. States census taken in that
year, the population of the
Southern States was 10, 259, OO7,
of all the other States 81, 1885,
963.
The average amount of corn
raised per head in the South
was So 2-1O0 bushels, in the
Northern and Western States
only 10 bushels. After the war,
in the year 1866, the South had
decreased to $3.50, 7O9, and yet,
while one half of their newly
made fellow citizens Of African
descent refused to work, ex-
pecting each the gift Of land
and mules from the Federal
Government, the average yield
of corn for each inhabitant,
white and black, of the South,
was 331 bushels. The popula-
ton of the Northern States in
the same year was 24,9l6,767,
and the average yield Of corn for
each "a bushels. These fl
cures are based upon the cen
sus of 1860, and upon the re-
ports of the Statistical Bureau
at Washington. This can be
attributed to no other cause
than the geniality of climate
and greater productiveness of
the SOIL.

Oil A Failure With the AM

The ancients knew no method
of refining oil. AS great lux
ury they mixed it with per-
fumes, such as essence of rose
and sandal wood ); but this ra-
Their detracted from, than adj
ded to, the burning properties
of the liquid /; and all that was
obtained by the process was an
increase of fragrance and a d.
minution of light. The dwell
lings of wealthy men like Yer

who expended extravagant
sums upon scented oils, would
not have borne comparison, in
