Agricultural Congress.

The necessity of cooperation amongst the
agriculturists and agricultural organizations OF
the Southern States is becoming more manifest
every year. Public Improvements, the diffusion
of agricultural science, and the protection OF
the rights of agriculturists, have not hitherto
received the attention which subjects OF such
Importance demand, and which are best tsecured
by voluntary association and combined action.
The interests of the cultivators of the great
staple productions of the Southern States de-
mand central and united organization, the
object of which shall be the promotion of i'm
proved methods Of culture specially adapted to
the productions peculiar to that section, the
improvement of the labor system, the en-
couragement of foreign immigration, and the
diversifcation of agricultural productions. A
general desire for an organization with these
Objects in view is expressed ty leading agricul-
turists throughout the South, and it is proposed
to organize an association which shall meet
annually at some accessible point in one of the
Southern States where agriculturists from every
section shall assemble, to deliberate in council,
and fully communicate the result OF their ex-
perience as tending to the advancement OF the
arts of husbandry and kindred subjects. 1t IS
suggested that the initiatory assembly convene
at Augusta, Ga, during the holding of the great

A New WAY TO Dry PEAcnEs.-Dr. Jos.
Treat, of Vineland, N. j., gave last season the
following and, as he says, new directions for
pairing peaches for drying:
"Never pare peaches to dry. Let them get
mellow enough to be in good eating condition,
put them in boiling water for moment or
two, and the skin will come off like charm.
Let them be in the water long enough, but no
longer. The gain is at least x-fold-saving
of time in removing the skin, great saving Of
the peach, part of the peach saved, the best
part, less time to stone the peaches, less time
to dry them, and better when dried. A whole
bushel can be done in a boiler at once, and
then the water turned off"

A WONDERFUL INTENTIONAL mechanic

have become SO popular and universal. The
machine of M. Zuppinger is no larger than
the human hand and performs the work of an

A RoMANr1c INCIDENT IN THE YVES

A ROMANTIC INCIDENT IN THE WEST-A
DAUGHTER FOUND AFTER THIRTEEN YEARS
Nearly thirteen years ago there lived on the
banks of the Ohio, but few miles from the
CITY of Louisville man by the name of Henry
c. Danforth, the family consisting of himself
wife and one child, daughter, only a little
more than two years of age. One day the
child escaped the yigilant eye of the mother
and wandered from the house. Search was
made, but no trace could be found of their
prattling darling until reaching the banks of
the river, where her little bonnet was seen near
the margin of the water. Then, indeed,
the little one was mourned as dead, and only
mothers heart can fathom the agony of the be-
the place of the lost one at the fireside and the
first storm of grief at the terrible affiicton had
given away to quiet submission, still the blue,
dancing waters of the Ohio always caused in
expressible sadness to their bereaved hearts
Five years ago the family removed to ST. Louis
where they have resided ever since. Saturday
Mr. Danforth received an anonymous letter
from this city urging him to come up immedi-
atcly if he wished to find his daughter, whom he
supposed drowned thirteen years before. He
arrived in the city Monday last and proceeded
to the place designated in the letter, and found
a woman whom he had known in other days.
rapidly nearing the grave, and young girl in
attendance upon her. She pointed to the child
Immediately on his entrance, saying, chat is
your drowned child" and entered upon an ex-
planation which convinced him Of the truth of
her words. 1t seems that he himself was the
innocent cause of the affair. The woman had
loved him previous to his marriage, and when
the words were spoken binding him to another
all the worst passions of her nature were arous-
ed, and she determined upon some revenge, and
how faithfully she executed her intention the
above facts will testify She had kept herself
informed of his whereabouts, and when she
knew that death would shortly claim her as his
victim she determined to make all the rcpara-
ton in her power. Who can paint the Joy of
the father ON finding the dead alive? The wo-
man, it seems, had only been in our city some
six months, coming from Cincinnati, to which
place she had first fed with the child. She
said she had always treated her rs she would
have done her own daughter, to which the child
testified, and begged that the woman might be
taken with them. The result was that yester-
day evening the three took the train on the
North Missouri Railroad for st. Louis, and ere
this the waiting mother has received the en-
braces of her long-lost daughter. Such Incl
dents were of frequent occurrence years ago,
but in this modern age it calls forth no little
astonishment.-KansasC City Times.

important DECISION Supreme Court
of Kentucky has decided that a threat renders
homicide justifable. Whereupon the the Co
lumbus Miss Democrat remarks:
This is an important decision, and the prin-
ciple involved is one which should be carefully
weighed before its adoption as part of our
jurisprudence. A man certainly ought to have
the right to protect his life and his life is in
danger so long as threat hangs over him (; but
to establish the doctrine that a threat justiGes
homicide, is to give to the vicious large lati-
tude, inasmuch as it is equivalent to giving
them the privilege of constituting threats and of
taking the law in their own hands in cases
where their lives are not really in danger, as
we'll as where they are

THE CoTToN CRoP.-A correspondent writes
to the New Orleans Picayune, under date of
the 5th instant, as follows, concerning the
prospects of the growing cotton crop:
Some weeks ago, after an exploration of q
large district of cotton lands, 1 reported that
the result of my observation was that the cot
ton crop would turn out far less than the crop
of last year.
Yesterday made searching examination
of four fields Of cotton that were far above the
average, and, indeed, were equal to any cotton
fields seen this year. found these four fields
with, comparatively speaking, very few bolls.
The stock large enough, healthy, free from
rust or worms, yet the fruit was not there.
For two weeks the forms and blossoms have
been abundant, but the frequent rains and hot
suns have caused much falling eft.
The early varieties of cotton are now open
ing, and if we could have dry weather, picking
would become general from the 10Th to the
10Th inst.
The European war may affect disadvanta-
gcously the price Of cotton, but feel very
confident that the production will fall below
the crop of 1869. Last year cotton was bring
ing remunerating prices, which stimulated the
freedmen to pick faithfully. Now, the freed
man is discouraged vac present fall in cotton,
and the prospect Of further decline, and if
the cotton was in the field to pick it would not
be gathered. AS far as Louisiana is concerned,
the labor will be disorganized by the coming
election, the operation of the militia law, and
more than all, by the depreciation in the price
of cotton.
But to all interested in coming to a correct
conclusion as to the magnitude of the growing
crop of cotton, I give the opinion of an old
planter who has extended his inquiries far and
wide, besides his own personal examination of
thousands of acres, that in the absence of
worms, with no storms and good picking sea-
son, even with these advantages, including the
increased area planted, the cotton crop cannot
reach the number of bales pressed last year.

SENATOR LEWIS AND HIS COURSE IN
CONGRESS,

Washington, April % The votes
cast in the senate by Senator Lewis in
the interest OF the extreme Radicals
has been matter of mystery especial
IL in view OF the liberal elements by
which he was elected to represent the
mother oi States. The story is here
that the Senator is like other mortals
human II al he is affected by selfish
considerations, and that his brother
(Chmrles) was appointed to a foreign
mission as Il consideration tor the votes
OF the senator in support OF the "intol-
cradle Radicals.
The senator has been tugging away
at the public jug quite vigorously, and
is very exacting in his demands fol OF
fetal patronage. Like new converts
generally, he is among the most ultra
aud intolrrant, and his vote may be
found in the list OF the most radical OF
Radicals. His compensation is to be in
the distribution of official patti Onage,
and at the end of his term in the United
States Senate he will be retired to pri-
vate life. never more to be heard of.
