We have reason to believe that great
misapprehension exists as to the reduc-
tlon in the wholesale price of goods in
New York. The reduction on desirable
goods has merely kept pace with the de-
cline in gold, nothing more; and as to
undesirable goods, their sale furnishes
no criterion as to current market rates.
In this city the decline in dry goods has
more than kept pace with the decline in
gold, and the reduction is fully as great,
both in the wholesale and retail busi
ness, as it has been in any of the North
ern cities.
Book and job printing of any kind,

The TRIBUTE OF COLUMBIA TO Gen.
ROBERT L. LEE.-An incident pleasing
in its character and honorable to the city
occurred here yesterday. Ithavipg been
nscertained that Gen. Lee would pass
through Columbia by the Charlotte train,
most Of the stores were closed, per pre-
vious arrangement, and in spite of the
drenching rain, large number of our
citizens, including all the ex-Confederates
of the field, turnedSout, formed in pro-
cession, and marched to the depot of the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail-
road. When the train arrived, Gen. Lee
appeared on the platform, and being in
troduced by COL A. G. Haskell. the noble
old chieftain bowed his acknowledge
ments. He was saluted with deafening
cheers, and wo presume that at no other
point has the General received more
earnest welcome. It is meet that the
citizens should have done this. Colum-
bia is the capital of South Carolina, and,
when size can, let her speak as she did
on yesterday for all in South Carolina,
that honor and revere the name of
ROBERT E. LEE. He came and went on
amid the cheers of Carolinians.
We learn that the health of Gen. Lee
is feeble, and that he goes to Florida to
seek relief. We learn that there were
many pleasing incidents connected with
the reception of Gen. Lee. AS the old
veteran appeared, some shed tears, and
one ex-Confederate said, with tears fall
ing down his manly cheeks, General,
we were overpowered, not whipped ;"
and the crowd took it up and repeated
it-''overpowered, , but not whipped" Lit
tie girls also crowded in to see and speak
to the General. Pleasant Goode, faith
fnl to the memory of his friend Gen.
Maxcy Gregg. was on hand, and Col. Nc
Master introduced hin TO Gen. Lee, who
shook him cordially by the hand. The
best wishes of our community attend
him. The Lexington Gazette, IL annouuc
ing the departure of General Robert e.
Lee on Southern tour, says:
''He will be absent about q month, and
that he will spend most of the time in
GA He will stop in Warren
ton, N. c., on his route, to revisit the
grave Of daughter who died near that
place during the war. This relaxation |
from the routine of college duties, with |
the change of scenery and travel will,
no doubt, prove of benefit to his health.
The faculty were urgent in their request
that the General should seek recreation
in O pleasant excursion. The confine-
nent of collegeSlife had somewhat affect
ed his health. Miss Agnes Lee accom-
oanies her father on the trip.

GIape Growers Maxims.

l. Prepare the ground in the fall,
plant in spring.
2. Give the vine plenty of manure,
old and we'll decomposed, for fresh
manure excites growth, but it does not
manure it.
3. Luxuriant growth does not always
insure fruit.
4. Dig deep, but plant shallow.
8. Young vines produce beautiful
fruit, but old vines produce the richest.
6. Prune in autumn to insure growth
but in the spring to promote fruitful
ness.
7. Plant your vines before you put
up your trellises.
8. Vines, like soldiers, should have
good arms.
0. Prune spurs to one developed bud,
for the nearer the old wood the higher
favored the fruit.
10. Those who prune long must soon
climb.
II. Vine leaves love the sun, the
fruit the shade.
II. Every leaf has bud at its base,
and either bunch of fruit or tendrl
opposite to it.
ID. A tendril is IN abortive fruit.

IA. A bunch Of grapes without a
healthy leaf opposite, is like a ship at

Is. Laterals are like politicians; If
not checked they are the worst of
thieves.
l6. Good grapes are like gold, no
one has enough.
II. The earliest grape will keep the
longest, for that which is fully matured is
easily preserved.
lS. Grape eaters are long livers.
10. Hybrids are not always high

Farmer John.

ny J. 7. rRowBRIDsE
Home from his journey Farmer John
Arrived this morning, safe and sound.
His black coat of and his old clothes on,
"Now I'm myself" says Farmer John,
And now he thinks, Ill look around
Up leaps the dog; acct down, you pup!
Are you so glad you would eat me upp
The old COW lows at the gate to greet him;
The horses prick up their ears TO meet him;
.'well, well old Bay
IIa, ha, old Gray!
DO you get feed when I'm away ~
"You haven't rib" says Farmer John;
"The cattle are looking round and sleek;
The colt is going to be a roam,
And beauty, too, how he has grown
WI wean the colt next week"
Says Farmer John, "when I've been OF,
To call you again about the trough,
And watch you and pet you, while you drink,
Is greater comfort than you can think"
And he pats old Bay,
And he slaps old Gray
"Ah. this IL the comfort of going away,
''For, after ALL" says Farmer John,
The best of journey Is getting home,
I've seen great sights-but what would I give
This spot and the peaceful life live,
For either Paris and RomeY
These hills for the city's stiHed air,
And big hotels all hustle and glare,
Land all houses and roads all stones,
That deafen your ears and batter your bones2
Would you, old BayY
Would you, old GrayY
That's what one gets by going away.
There Money is King" says Farmer John;
And Fashion is queen; and it's mighty
queer
To see how sometimes while the rnan
Is raking and scraping all he can,
The wife spends, every year,
Enough, you would think for score Of wives,
To keep them in luxury all their lives;
The town is perfect Babylon
To quiet chap" says Farmer John
"You see, old Bay
You see, old Gray
I'm wiser than when went away.
Owe found out this" says Farmer John
THAT happiness is not bought and sold
And clutched in life of waste and hurry,
In nights of pleasure and days Of worry;
And wealth isn't oil in gold,
Mortgage and stocks and ten per cent
But in simple ways aud sweet content,
Few wants, pure hopes and noble ends,
Some land to till, and few good friends,
Like you, old Bay,
Like you, old Gray;
That's what I've learned by going away.
And happy man is Farmer John
o, a rich and happy man is ne;
lie sees the peas and pumpkins growing,
The corn in tassel, the buckwheat blowing,
And fruit on vine and tree.
The large, kind oxen look their thanks
As he rubs their foreheads and strokes their
TANKS,
The doves light round him, and strut and coo;
says Farmer John, "I'll take you too
And you, old Bay,
And you, old Gray,
Next time travel away"

Fruit Culture.

ID. f. Miller, of Lee county, Iowa,
writes to the Country Gentleman that his
apple crops always do we'll. He says:
In the Spring season l invariably
washed the trunk of each tree with weak
lye, scraped all old bark from the trunks,
and cleansed or removed all grass or sod
from about the roots. Two or three
times during the summer l examined
each tree for borers, and removed them
wherever found; and if found the least
sign of disease in tree, as indicated by
the leaves, l would examine the tree
carefully even to the removal Of the earth
for foot or more in depth about the
trunk of the tree, and following out the
roots several feet. l always found out
the occasion Of the disease asindicated by
the leaves, and generally succeeded in
saving the tree and restoring it to health,
either by destroying the insect which was
eating its life away, or by cutting off the
diseased root or other part which was
sending the poison into the yet living and
healthy portion of the tree.
When moved on to nay farm, l found
about twenty Of my best and largest pear
trees (all standards) in a languishing
condition. found all those trees which
showed any signs Of decay were in parts
encrusted with dead bark which was 80
hard that pen knife could hardly pene.
trate it. This hard bark would some.
times, beside covering one half of the
trunk of tree, extend a short distance
below ground along some of the roots. l
thought probably the hard bark had
something to do with the sickness of the
tree, and removed all that dead and hard
bark from the tree, wherever l could find
it, being careful to let remain the little
white stripping of inner bark Immediately
next to the wood wherever it was not al.
ready destroyed; but where the bark was
all dead clear to the wood, there l lie.
moved it all, and left the healthy bark
free from its contact. The consequence
was that lost only one pear tree during
the five years was on the farm, and had
abundance Of that delicious fruit each
year."

between the rows Of corn 10 July
If the corn has an early start it will be
ripe before the turnips get much growth,

grow rapidly. No injury is done to the
