A NEW WORLDS FAIR.--The New
York Tribune's Washington cores
pendent says that a project for q
Worlds Fair in Washington, In l S7l,
is gaining strength there, and the
most prominent citizens of that city
are interesting themselves in its de-
velopment. Gen. Sherman Mr.. COch-
ran MFR. Riggs, Mr.. Cooke, Ad-
miral Dalhgren, and other leading
citizens, are the foremost In working
the matter up. The President is also
said to be greatly interested in the
subject, and will give 1t his aid. The
correspondent is kind enough to in
form us that the idea was, It is true,
suggested by irresponsible parties, but
they have all been thrown overheard
the gentlemen named and those who
cooperate with them.
While we do not think iii of the
plan of having grand international
Exposition upon American soil to
show other nations what we can do,
and to give us an opportunity Ofseeing
what they can do, we believe that
Washington is the very last location
that should be selected for such pur-
pose. New York would be q better
place. L

THE TRUE MOTIVE. Gen. Dent,
in his late speech at Corinth, Miss,
instructed the negroes with regard to
fact which has not been placed be-
fore them as frequently and clearly as
Its Importance demands. He told
them emancipation was proclaimed
as military necessity, "a matter OF
policy, and that the Republican par
ty, in dealing with them, had been
governed entirely by selfish and par
tisan considerations,
This Is true. All Of che rant and
cant In the party about 1.-THE inter-
ests Of God and humanity" and the
eternal principle of justice and free
dom," have been, SO far as Congress
Is concerned, pure and unadulterated
demagogueism. Lincoln said, I'm his
letter to Greeley, that (" what he did
about slavery, he did to save the I'm
ion.n He said his emancipation
proclamation was " o military neces-
sity." W la
What nonsense III Is TO suppose that
a Congress, acknowledged by its own
party press to be one of drunkards and
demagogues, and noodles, would be
controlled on any question by regards
The politicians of the ruling party
care nothing about the "niggern but
to make political capital out of him
They would remand him to slavery
to perpetuate their power.--Eo-

How To Make Farming success.

The seasons OF the present year have
proven beyond question, to thinking
men, the necessity of planting q va
riety OF crops. The corn crop requires
a good deal OF rain. If the rain does
not come, the crop Is a failure, and
the labor of a summer Is lost. Sc
with potatoes, millet, etc. Cotton re.
quires less rain than corn, and II Au.
gust Is seasonable, a good crop of II
may be relied OH, as August Is the
month In which cotton Is made; with
q dry August, hot sunshine, the
forms and young bolls are parched
and nall OH, and thus only a third Of
crop may be looked for. With cot
ton crop planted, and no corn, how
easy for farmer to makes failure
me tobacco crop requires much less
rain than any other field crop, and
Will make when both corn and cotton
fail, as has been the case this year
Two acres of tobacco on upland this
year Will pay better than thirty In
corn, and not one fourth the labor
me success OF farming In North
Georgia, depends entirely on the
planting OF variety of crops, SO that
II one fails, another may succeed, and
II the year is favorable, all may dc
well, and so much more to the ad-
vantage OF the farmer. In some OF
the valley lands, we have seen In this
section of country, we are confident
that II guano We're used to give the
cotton quick growth In spring, SC

A WRITER, giving Notes OF
Tour In China" dwells on the great
difficulty Of learning the Chinese
language, from Its hieroglyphic char
acters and legion Of dialects and
tones. The speaker may have the
right word, but unless he gives the
right tone, he either says nothing or
says probably the opposite Of what no
intended. 4 missionary, on one oc-
casion, when preaching, wlshed TO
say "God Is angry with SIM" To his
utter establishment, the whole con-
gregation jumped TO their feet.
He had got the right word; but, mt
nus the tone, the word meant "Stand
upI" On another occasion the
preacher wished to say, "Idols shall
be utterly abolished : but, not giving
the right tone, he found to his con-
sternatlon that he had actually do
olared, Idols are absolutely neoes-
saryn In India where there Il no
such difficulty, absurd hlunders are
made. Who has not heard OF the
Bengal missionary who meant 10
preach from the text, II am the Light
of the world,n but subsisted aIoo (po-
tato) to aio 0ight)? The writer onoa
heard o missionary by an error Of as
pirate declare that "St, Paul made =

REMARKABLE FISH SPRING.-The
Jonesboro Herald gives the following
account Of q remarkable fish spring
in Johnson county:
1t is stated on the east bank of the
Wataugh, only about twenty feet
from the brink. The main current
from the spring is large enough to
turn a mill, and enters the river only
about thirty feet below Its source
Between the spring and the river Is a
large rock which Is perforated with
numerous appertures, from which the
waters of the spring gush constantly
into the river. The fish rs winter APP
proaches enter these holes, and make
their way into a subterranean basin,
which exists underneath the rock,
and there remain until spring, when
the appertures through which they
enter having been stopped, they are
forced to enter the spring on the other
side where they are easily caught
Over $500 have been taken ina single
season.

ACCURATE KNowLEDGE.-I hold
that to be the most valuable which Is
almost entirely within our power to
acquire, and which nature unassisted
never yet gave to any one. l mean a
perfectly accurate habit Of thought
and expression. This Is, as far as /
can see, one of the very rarest acquire
ments, for IL implies a good deal
carefulness, close attention to details,
certain power of memory, and the
habit Of distinguishing between
things which are alike hut are not
identical. ! lay stress on this because
IL seems to me the enthusiastically
distinguishing mark Of good and
faulty teaching of real and unreal
learning. The best thing Is to know
your subject thoroughly; the next best
to know nothing about 1t, and TO lie
aware that you do not know any
thing the worst Is to know little,
and to know that vaugely and con-
fusedly.-Lord Sdniy. ..t

We do not know how much truth
there Is lin the story, but IL Is reported
that the Rev. Charles Rogers, OF Eng
land, Is about to get up subscription
for the erection of monument to-
Adam, the father of mankind A
company, to be entitled the "Grand
International Adamite Monument
Association" IL to be formed, and the
monument Is to be erected upon the
supposed site of the Garden Of Eden,
In Mesopotamia. The expense, no
doubt, will be great. 1t Is the GUS
tom tO make monument never
smaller, and generally much larger,
than was the mortal body Of the hero
whose immortal deeds IL Is intended
to commemorate; and, as there ia a
well authenticated tradition that
Adam was $50 feet high, his monu-
ment cannot, in common Justice, be
less than 1000 feet in altitude. But
it is estimated that penny suscrip-
ton from each of the surviving de-
scendants of this truly great and good
man-and il is impossible that one
of them should be unwilling to con-
tribute this small sum-woult
amount to enough to pay for the cree
ton of the monument, and leave
enough over to procure a handsome
testimonial for DIR. Rogers, who wa
the first to suggest that it was time t.
wipe away the stigma long attached
to humanity for having left the mem
DRY of the first hero in its history
man whose name, fame, actions
death, and spiritual influence are con
stantly OH our lips--without a com
memorative stone to tell the stranger
who Gould appreciate 1t, what he hat
done" A great many hard thing,
have been said of Adam; but Ii should
not be forgotten that we owe him
much, and that with all his faults, he
had many virtues. When DIR. Rog
ers's subscription paper is sent over
here, we shall be ready with our pen
ny, and, If he will enlarge his plan st
as to include monument TO Eve al
SO, we will be happy to double on
subscription.-Ne,o York World.

A VERY RICH FARM.-A CORES
pondent says he has been studying
the book q How To Make the Farm
Pay" and has got his farm so rich
that when he planted his cucumber
seed the plants came up before he
could get away, followed him at full
speed to the fence and growing faster
than he could run, he became en-
tangled in the vines, and a large GU
oumber ripened In his pocket before
he could out himself loose.

teaching Of the work, but think the
above statement little doubtful.
