tine Shortest Way"

Some twelve years ago, Ma
poleon, Ind, was celebrated
for two Livingstone for the
carousing Of its citizens, and
the other for the great number
of cross roads in its vicinity. 1t
appears that an Eastern collec-
tor had stopped at Dayton to
spend the night, and get some
information respecting his
course. During the evening
he became acquainted with an
old drover, who appeared post
ed as to the geography of the
country, aud the collector
thought he might as we'll in
quire in regard to the best route
to different points to which he
was destined.
Il wish to go to Greenfield,
said the collector; now which
is the shortest way?'
well, SIR said the drover,
you had better go to Napoleon,
and take the road leading near
ly north
The traveller noted it down.

the collector, cycling the drover
closely, and thinking he was

The collector looked at his
note book--every direction had
Napoleon on it. He began to
feel his dander rise, and he

SLOW FlsM-GUANO WADE.

There are fshing-grounds at
intervals on the Atlantic coast,
from Maine to Carolina, where
the fish known as the Menha-
den are caught in seines, in
immense quantities, The fish
weigh about a pound g piece,
and about twenty thousand of
them are put at a time into a
large tank, where they are
cooked by steam. The water
is then drawn off, and the par
boiled mass of fish is put into
cylindrical curb Of a hydraulic
press, and the oil is pressed
out. The mass, yields, as a
general rule, from one hundred
to one hundred and twenty gal
Ions Of oil, which is used in a
manner similar to other animal
oil. The refuse left in the
curb is broken up, pressed over
again, and afterward put up in
barrels and bags for the mar
ket. In this crude form it
contains a considerable quanti-
ty of water, and of late manu-
facturers have produced a much
superior article by drying the
crude material, and then crush
ing OR grinding it into a fine
powder. Rural Gentleman.

A MONSTER AQUARAUN

There is now preparing in
Berlin what will be the most
magnificent aquarium in the
world. 1t is situated in the
center of the principal prone
made Of the city, and will make
Il large three story building,
and be under the charge of AL
fred Brehm, one Of the best
German naturalists. The sec
ond story will be devoted to the
aquarium proper, while the up
per will be given to mamalia,
birds, and reptiles The sides
of the cages towards the visitors
will be of such thick glass as
to resist the stoutest serpent or
crocodile, and by a skillful ar
rangements will be lighted,
while the galleries where the
visitors stand will be dark. -
Caves and grottoes abound, and
art is exhausted to mimic ma
ture. The aquarium proper
will be SO divided that one por-
ton shall contain the denizens
Of the Baltic Sea, another Of the
Atlantic, and a faithful copy of
the Grotto of Capri is peopled
by the inhabitants of the Med
iterrauean Sea, This aquari-
um is ten times larger than
that of Hanover, and twelve
times larger than that Of Ham
burg-the two most famous in
the world.

OVER THE RIVER.

Over the river they beckon to me,
Loved ones who have passed to the other
side,
The CLEAN Of their snowy robes see,
But their voices are lost In the dashipg
tide,
There's one with ringets of nnygold,
And eyes the reflection of heavens own
blue;
He crossed the twilight gray and cold,
And the darkness hid him from mortal
view.
We saw not the angels who met him there,
The gates of The City we could not see;
Over the River, over the River,
My brother stands ready to welcome me.
None return from the quiet shores,
Who cross with the boatman cold and
blue;
We hear the dip of the golden oars,
We catch CLEAN of the snowy sail,
And, o, they have passed from our hearts;
They cross the stream and are gone for
aye.
We cannot sunder the veil apart,
That hides from our vision the gates oil
days; ..-e,.t
We only know that their .barks no more
Shall sail with ours on life's stormy sea,
et bouetuipS uope VI tuc Uueoen sAoi =,
They watch, and beckon, and wait for
me-.
And sit and think when the sunsets gold
Is flushing river, and hill and shore,
| shall one day stand by the water cold,
And listen to tina sound of the boatman' .
oar:
I shall watch for the CLEAN of the tapping
sail,
shall hsar the boat as it gains the
strand,
shall pass from sight with the boatman
pale
To the better shore of the Spirit Land.
I shall know the loved who have gone be-
fore,
And jovfully sweet will the meeting be
W hen over the River, tbs peaceful River ,
The Angel Of Death shall carry me.

l regard it as a very sure

Il
fore it is proper to plant corn
or cotton, from the first of
March to the first of April, and
to insure a stand put five or six
beans in a hill and cover light
lily.
When the plants have six
leaves, thin out to one in a hill.
If you have u full stand, thin
out sooner to two or three,
eventually leaving but one in a
hill. TO prevent the cut worm
from injuring them, scrape
round the hill as soon as they
are up, and let the balance of
the cultivation be such as you
would give corn. In order to
keep out weeds and grass, con-
tinue ploughing as long as you
can pass through the rows with
out breaking the stalks. The
crop is very wasteful if not
gathered when it is ripe. 1t
commences ripening the last Of
July. That is known by the
spikes turning yellow and
cracking. They should be then
gathered and carried to a popp-
ing yard and thrown upon it.
This is made as you would a
brick yard, and should be on
high ground facing the sun, in
the field or convenient. To be
made firm and smooth twenty
FIVE yards square, for popping
twenty acres Of beans. The sun,
when warm and dry will pop
them out in two or three days.
If your yard is on the side OF a
hill, cut a ditch on the upper
side to prevent the water from
running on it. A slide drawn
by one horse, with a box hold
ing ten or twelve bushels, is the
most COL lent and speedy
mode of ga ering. Whenever
the beans are popped out of the
bulls, they should be raked up
and cleaned with a wheat fan,
using a coarser riddle, to suffer
the beans to pass without the
bulls. Thus prepared you can
clean very rapidly.
To make them perfectly
clean, you will pass the beans
through the fans more than
once: you will find a hand rid
die very eonvenient-one that
will retain the beans and per-
NIT the fine dirt to pass. They
should be taken from the yard
when perfectly dry and put
away carefully. A market can
be found in Louisville, st. Louis
and Nashville. Transportation
would cost but little. can

From the Dixie Farmer.
Cultivation Of the Castor
Bean.
Huntar Nicholson. ESQ.

Hunter Nicholson, Esq.
/ Dear SRI am informed by
Mr.. Horsley that you intend
copy -1g from the Herald my
remarks on the cultivation Of
the castor bean in your next
number of the Dixie Farmer,
and as there seems to be some
interest manifested with regard
to its cultivation, l have
thought proper to correct the
typographical errors made in
the Herald, by sending you a
manuscript.
r From my experience Of more
than thirty years, | consider
the castor bean the best crop
for the preservation of land,
whilst it is remunerative to the
grower. It improves tie land
by shading it with its large
umbrella leaves, and inhales
more support from the atmos-
phere than vegetables having
narrow leaves. The falling Of
the stalks and leaves on the
land is a source of great i'm
provement. With it's long tap
roots it penotrates deeper into
the sub-soil than any crop, and
obtains nourishment from a
source which others cannot,
whilst at the same time its
growth extracts a different
principle from the earth than
any crop which has preceded
it; completely renovating the
land and thereby increasing the
crops planted after it. For the
amount of labor employed, l
consider it more profitable than
cotton, producing on good land
from ten to twenty-five bushels
per acre. Two acres can be
cultivated and gathered with
the amount of labor required to
to cultivate and gather one of
cotton.
It is grown extensively in H.
linois and Missouri, and is re-
garded there as being very pro-
fitable, and being a Southern
plant, I consider its cultivation
here would be more profitable.
1t would be a good crop in the
vicinity of towns and villages,
as it bears no roasting ears, and
would be uninvlting to those
who live on the labor of the in
dustrious. Its growth is very
ornamental like the suntlow-
err, it follows the sun in his di-
urnal course, which reflects
from it the appearance OF
changeable colored silk, whilst
it's beautiful red bloom is a
source of admiration. 1t de-
lights in a MANFRED field, and
will grow we'll on such land as
produces cotton. Its prefer
ference is a high, dry soil, and
to produce we'll, the land should
be ridged as you do for cotton
to be checked, giving a dis
lance Of four and a half by five
feet lin ordinary land, except
every fifth row, six feet distance
should be given. This row of
six feet distance is intended for
a slide to pass through, in Or
der to gather the spikes as they
rIpen. The land should be
thoroughly pulverized and
crossed with a bull tongue

THE VAGARIRs OF ~. O." on THE FL.
MALE SUFFRAGE QUESTION.

EDITOR OF THE ARGUs-The question for
long time has been, Who was Junius
The question now is, Who is ~. G.. ~
When we penned our former communication
to the Argus we had no idea that it would
be the means Of raising up a champion of
the Lucy Stone orthodoxy. All discussion,
however, is deserving of encouragement
and although this Don Quixotte devotee Of
the Tobtha Del Tobosa Of female suffrage
has not mounted his palfrey and sailed forth
10 make courageous attacks on windmills,
we are encouraged to believe that, if he
continues on il his Jealous erraatry, he will
achieve equal celebrity with his iIustrious
prototype, through the bIoodless warfare Of
his pen. Bulwer Lytton said "the pen is
mightier than the sword RHd we presume
our antagonist acted on the suggestion Of
the poetstatesmsn. We can imagine the
sweet complacency Of the smile which lit up
the face Of our antagonist, when, after read.
ing our article in the columns Of the ARGUS,
he gathered around him battery Of pen,
ink and paper, and thus soliloQuised with
Robbie Burns
"a chiefs among We takin' notes.
And faith he'll print EN-
Cruel child He really carried his venom.
Gus threat into execution. We rather OBJ
ject to his burlesquing Mark Antony in the
Female Suffrage farce, but if he will persist
in holding up the uumentionsble garments
usually worn by the male sex, and declaring
the social and political right Of strong.
minded woman to also wear them, we have
no other alternative left US than to meet the
issue thus presented.
Our opponent has done US injustice by
his assumption that our views Of woman
suffrage are not complimentary to the ladies
of the country. This inference on his part
is not warranted by the sentiments we ad.
vsnced in our former article. II does not
follow that because 1t is imprudent and I'M
becoming in the female sex to exercise the
privileges of the elective franchise, they
have not the mental and moral qualifications
70 faithfully discharge such political trust.
Quite the reverse. Indeed, it is from deep
and earnest conviction of the proficiency of
their mental culture, that we think it impol
lite in them TO become active participants
in the eIcitements and turmoil of political
discussion. They are capable of welding
a more exalted and christisuized influence
in more tranquil sphere Of life,-Around
the family freside and amid the social re-.
unions Of cherished friends. Their intelIec.
tuAl education is no. of that character that
hts them to make much of figure among
the Homogeneous class of constituencies.
