State resigned, and to Gil the va.

both negroes, and the fortunate

both races seem to carry off the
spoils in every State. Revels is o
carpet-bagger from Ohio, and
Wright, the Congressman elect
from South Carolina, is a carpet
bagger from Pennsylvania. Home
negroes don't appear to be in
much demand. The negro Secre.
tary of State in this State, Lynch,
is o carpet.bagger. Ireland, the
Sergeant-at-Arms, is a carpet bag

ROTATION OF CROPS.

Uuder tho old system Of cultiva-
ton al the South, where a newly
cleared field at once took the place
Of one that was worn out, and where
the idea of manuring was almost
entirely Ignored, II Is not surpris-
ing that the manner in which crops
succeed each other was determined
almost wholly by convenience. At
present, however, whom heavy ma
nuring, thorough culture and bring
ing land to its greatest productive
capacity; is the order of the day, II
is eminently flt and proper, that the
subject Of rotation of crops, should
seriously engage the attention ol
our farmers-and we earnestly In.
vite discussions Of 1t In the Guilt.
vat0r.
Certain advantages from chang
ing crops on the same land from
year to year, are obvious to every
one--as for Instance, sowing down
in small grain after clean culture,
protects the land from washing,
and restores In part the vegetable
matter exhausted by a crop, plOw-
cd and hoed during the summer
or, on the other hand, where land
has been sOwn continuously for
several years, a crop under the plow
and hoe, destroys pestiferOus weeds
like cookie. Besides these incident
al effects, however, there are other
circumstances, connected with the
productive capacity of land, which
are worthy Of other consideration.
If oil plants had the same habits
Of growth, and took from the soil
the same ingredients In the same
proportions, then, aside from the
considerations already mentioned
it would probably make little diff.
ference II the same crop was Guilt
vated on the same field from year
to year. But the suppOsitiOn made
is not true. Many weeds thrive OF
lands which will not sustain oul
cultivated plants; a fine growth o
rag.weed. often follows q miserable

AmnnRInLE INITIATION

A somewhat extraordinary aud
very alarming accident occurred
recently at the steam printing Office
of Messrs. Norman, at Cheltenham,
Canada. The engine boiler is o
powerful Cornish one, ofTuxford's
make, there being two flreholes in
parallel tubes passing through the
middle of the cylinder. At tho
time Of the accident the boiler was
being cleaned, and two persons, a
man and q boy, were at work
inside Il, the man being In the furth-
er end Of the cylinder, and the boy
Just inside the man-hole.
II Is supposed that the lad was
about getting out through the man
hole, when his foot slipped between
the two tubes, and, losing his nerve,
his struggle 10 extricate himself
only forced his leg further In, until
Il became jammed above the knee
Joint. An effsrt to pull him out
was resisted by the lad, and very
soon bis leg began TO swell, 80 as to
make its removal increasingly diff
ficult. Ills body being fixed In the
aperture of the man.hole almost
excluded air from the man at the
end Of the boiler, aud things were
looking serious before couple 0i
surgeons and q gang Of smiths
from the wagon.wOrks could be
fetched.
Fears being entertained for the
man, the first task was to wrench
of tho safety.valve pipe, and so
| give him air and pass stimulants to
him. The men then applied them
selves to tho extraction Of the lad,
and at first tried TO free him by
forcing wedges In through the man
hole to drive the tubes asunder.
After some time this was found to
be impossible, the lads body leav.
ing little room for the insertion ol
the wedges and the tubes bruisins
instead Of bending. The men then
had 10 face the task OF loosening one
of the tubes from the boiler plate
and as they were fastened together
by counter.sunk riyets, the tash
was q formidable one, and two OF
three hours before il could be affect
ed the lad had tainted several times
and It was difficult life could be
kept In him.
Atlength, after the two had been
confined nearly seven hours the
tube was loosened as TO allow o
Cowley (the lad) being pulled out
and, though his leg was much swol
len and he was exceedingly faln
and weak, Il was found that ~
bones were broken. LaWrenc'

As regards habits Of growth,

barley, rye, and the grass-cFOpeF.-- ~
The former send a large portion Of
their roots deep into tho soil and
subsOll, and draw the food largely
from these lower depthe---the roots
Of the latter are chiefly confined 10

they take their supplies. One can
readily see, therefore, that whilst
several crops Of small grain might
exhaust the upper soil too much for
another crop Of the same kind 10

layers Of soil and the snb-s0il may
