WORDS FIFTY SPOKEN. Says the
Gulf States: "Bey ond question, the
true policy of the South is-frst, to
raise an abundant supply of corn, peas,
beans, potatoes, both sweet and Irish;
rye, rice, peanuts, hay and vegetables
of all kinds, and fruits, large and small;
sugar cane or sOrgum, according TO lat
itude. should also be raised sufficiently
for home consumption. With a boun-
tiful supply of all these, pork, bacon
and lard, beef, milk and butter, poul.

eyitably as light follows the rising OF
the sun.
With these wants provided for, tho
surplus of capital, lands and labor
should be pressed into the service Of
cotton growing, with all the energy, in
dustry and skill that can be brought to

so hard that this little can't be avoid

that will be felt by and by, more and

THE DoUBLE-HEADE EAGLE.-The
origin of the use of the eagle on ma.
tiOnal and royal banners, may be trac-
ed to very early times. twas the en-
sign of the ancient kings of Persia and
Babylon. Although the Romans used
other emblems for camp standards, yet
in 102 B. C. Desious ordained tint the
eagle alone should designate the iegions
as their ensign, and confined the use Of
the other figures to the cohorts. After
the division of the Roman Empire the
Emperors of the West used black ca
gle and those of the East golden one.
Since the time of the Romans almost
every State that has assumed the des-
ignatioD of Empire as its ensign-par
example: Austria, Russia, Prussia,
France and Poland. The double head
ed eagle signifies double empire, and
is used by the Emperors of Austria,
who claim to be tile successors of the
Caesars of Rome. In this case it is the
eagle of the Eastern Empire, united
with that of the West, typifying the
Holy Roman Empire. Charlemague
was the first to make use of this en-
blem, for when lie became master of
| the whole German empire, he added
the second head to the eagle A. D. 609,
thus denoting the unions in him ofthe
empires of Rome and Germany.

An OPEN BAR IN A CoRNFIELD.-Here
is California story, told to illustrate
the cunning of the crows in that re-
gion: A hired man on a Napa farm
was detailed to keep watch ON the
cornfeld, and not let the black ma
RAIDERS invade the premises; but,
like the many other men in a similar
situation, he tried to plan method
whereby so much labor would not
have to be performed. So he hit up
on the plan of soaking some corn in
whisky and placing it in the field, SO
that the crows would surely get
drunk, and then he thought he would
have q sure thing on them and could
kill them easily. He had tried to
shoot them with shot gun, but
crows can smell powder long way.
After soaking some corn over night,
he put bountiful supply in the field
the next morning, and in about two
or three hours he wdht out to see how
things were progressing, and mark
You what follows: One of the crows,
a little larger. than the rest, had ta-
ken possession of almost all the corn,
and had built himself bar out of
clods of earth and was retailing the
whisky-soaked corn to the others,
charging them three grains of sprout-
ed corn for one soaked grain. Our
hired man had not the heart to kill
any of the creatures that seemed in
their action so like mankind.
