NORTHERN MEN IN THE SOUTH.

We copy the following from an accodnt
of the the recent Illinois press excursion,
published in the Illinois State Register, at
Springfield:
The talk about Northern people not be-
ing permitted to live in that country is all
twaddle. II Is not true. This we can
readily assert of our own personal knowl-
edge of several cases in point, where per-
sons known TO be avowed Radicals in poli-
tics went South to live and make 1t their
future home, conducted themselves as good
citizens, which they are, and no people
were ever received with more cordiality
and kindness, snd none would do these
same Radicals sn act Of kindness more
readily than the native Southerner. They
are anxious that people from the North
shall come TO their country and become
part Of it, but they very naturally want
men, not the scum and refuse Of the North,
who leave their country for their couutry's
good.

The AGAvE EAMERICANA.-The Charles
ton Courier of Thursday says botanists
and others will, in day or two, have an
opportunity Of witnessing the blooming
of one of these plants, sometimes called
the American aloe, but more generally
the century plant. This vegetable pro-
ductlon is by no means an uncommon
one, though it is said to blossom but
once in mans ordinary life time; there
fore, its second blooming is rarely if ever
seen by him who observes the compare
lively sudden growth of the stem on
which the first flowers have appeared.
The principal body of the one new about
to flower at Ne. 43 Meeting street, next
south of the United States Courthouse,

efforts Of the authorities to restrain it.
The total deaths up the 10Th of May

three or four hours are reported to be the

after as many minutes. The cholera

LONDON, June 29.-The Star to-day
commenting on the reported departure
from New York Of COL Ryan's expeditions
brings the circumstances 10 bear upon the
question Of claims now pending between
United States and Great Britain. II says
we are interested in the United States
government in this matter AmericS now
stands in the relation to the Southern
COnfederacy, her neutrality laws must be
thoroughly and efisctually enforcee, she
will lose the hold she has gained on public
opinion which insures the fair considera-
tion of Alabama claims. The Alabama
escaped unarmed with an ordinary mer-
chantman's crew on board, and we are
partly held TO have incurred high de-
gree Of responsibility for the consequences.
The departure of a party Of eight hun
dred men from New York harbor, as far
as can be judged from present accounts of
the affair, appears to be an infraction Of
neutrality Just as tilgrant as the escape of
the Alabama, and one which could much
more easily have been prevented.

A STEAM plow experiment in New Jer-
sey lately was entirely successful. In
view of the scarity and changed condis
ton of labor IN the South, the proba-
bilities are that eventually farmers hay-
ing large tracts of land to cultivate there
will triturate the soil with plOws driven
by steam. Why should not every very
large farm have its steam engine, the
power to be applied to multitude of

a wreath Of orange blossoms, kept in its

with long ends falling on the chigDOn.
The six bridesmaids wore white tarlstan
dresses, made with two plated founces
round the skirt, and succession OF

back, and the bodies were made high,
with fichus over them. The bonnets

They have been three years boring an az
tesian well near st. Louis. The depth reached
is 1882 feet, or only 1888 feet less than three
fourths Of mile. But no puro water has been
reached at that depth, and it is now proposed
TO plug the hole up and lose $66. .00O, the cost
so far. The boring was done at the rate OF
about thirty feet per month. The aItesian wei,
at Grenoble in France, is one OF tne mos1
famous in the world, and was bsgun in 1883
with the expectation OF reaching water at q
denth of not more than twelve or fifteen hund-
red feet. In 1s41. at depth OF 1892 feet, water
WAS at last found, and has flowed ever since at
rate Of Ave hundred Thousand gallons in
twenty.four hours. There are numerous wells
in other parts OF Europe and also in this coun-
try, but the deepest one in the world, except
that now under consideration, is at sugar
refinery in st. Louis, begun in the spring OF
1S49, and continued until 1854, when the work
stopped at the depth OF 219s feet. The supply
Of water procured is comparatively small IN
quantity, and strongly impresnated with sui
