We copy as follows from the Souht
Carolina correspondence of the New
York World:
As the strawberry forced i'm the
hot-house is TO the sweet fruit matur-
ed in its season by the sun and air, so
is the mocking- bird that sings behind
wires to his glorious brother in the
South's wild. A man out of his ap-
pointed sphere in this great universe
does little worthy of the name of ac-
ton, and the song-bird of the. New
World has only a weak, imprisoned
trili. 1t is when free, when he will
perch ON some spray near your dwell
ling, for it is mistake to suppose
he shuns man, that there comes a
note so ravishing that you look to
see where this soft silver clarion can
be. 1t is yOn sober, gray fellow,
with stripe of white on his darkish
wing, almost as friendly with you as
a robin rcd-breast, and possessed
with a voice you can back with a
heavy bet against any loye-lorn, Old
World nightingale ofthem all. That
feathered Romeo may pipe to please
Juliet, but the wild mocking-bird is
the Caius Marius of song. "CaRo,
canO," sing, 1 sing" he seems to
say, and in the note is something so
virile and steady that it would hard
ly surprise if he gave us the whole
Of it in a resonant epic-a,ma riram-
que canO. And yet he can sit by the
chimney too. / remember ono fel-
low who had his annual housebuild-
ing on one gable, and there, while
the madame arranges the mansion.
my lord sits down close upon his feet
at the EXTREMIST peak of the roof
tree, and thus, outlined like n spcck
against the sky, pours out the whole
orchestra from his single heart. But
a few days since 1 heard him, and
trust no bars will ever prison him
from his favorite perch, his young
birds, and their dam.

Mysteries OF Arizona.

The Prescott M,ncr says: ARIZONA is
certainly land of mystery, and no spot
on it is more mysterious than that part
known as Chico Valley, twenty miles
north from Prescott, on the road to the
great and mysterious San Francisco
Mountain, which rises high above all
other mountains in the Territory, and
which, from its sublime altitude and
snowy purity, is held in great awe and
reverence by the Indians of the present
day. Every thing goes to prove that
the valley in question was once occupi-
ed by hundreds, perhaps thousands OF
those scmi-civilized Indians who once
held sway here, and who, no doubt were
overshadowed, murdered and driven out
by Apscha Ishmaelites. In it are nu-
merous springs OF cool, pure water, from
which flows sufficient fluid to irrigate
thousands of acres. Overlooking this
water, on beautiful knolls, are the ruins
of dwellings, once occupied by that an
cient people we have before alluded to.
One Ofthese ruins was recently dug into
by visiting friends in the valley, who in
form ,ls that human bones of immense
size were exhumed, with much pottery,
etc. We have not the dimensions of the
bones, but are assured that they were
much larger than those OF anv man OF
our day and generation"

The MONT Gents tunnel now near
its completion, is about eight miles
long, nearly two miles above the sea,
and mile beneath the mountain top.
1t has cost about fifteen years of
ccaslcss labor, going on at either end,
and though no shafts could possibly
be sunk the ventilation has been per-
feet. 1fFrance and Italy can be thus
connected, what is there insurmount-
able in the way of the Darien Canal !?
The two great oceans are as much
more important to commerce as the
world at large is to both Italy and
France. We have seen no evidence
that an eight-mile tunnel would be
necessary; but if il will, what is there
about ii, except its cost and size, that
puts it out of the pale of modern en-
terprise? If two nations united can
build such a work as that thrOng the
Alps, mankind at large ought to be
able to undertake so citing larger.
If Governments whose shipping is
interested will only take this view of
the case, and join in the effort, the
success of the undertaking will not
be doubtful

Don't Sell the Calves.

10" many farmers are tempted
int -elling their calves and young
stOrI when some butcher or dealer
con~s along and offers them a fair
PROF..
This is poor economy. Farmers
sho"'d remember, as we haye re.
marIrd in relation to milk cows in
another place. that all animals used
for tood and raised upon I'll e farm,
sho"h be regarded simply in the
light "f machines for covering grain
and grass into money. This is ono
OF tho fundamental principles of good
farming.
E""ry farm needs just as many of
thes" machines as it can possibly
support and there is ccarcely limit
to ~" amount of stock an indus
trione go-ahead, pushing farmer can
kecr npon quarter section of land
her, especially in those portions
(aud they are by no means few
whpro the range is almost unlimited.
Then we advise the farmer to re-
sist Ill fancy prices for his calves,
build mp herd, start the moving
machine early and keep it moving
late Save your corn fodder and
straw and raise more vegetables.
Economy in saving feed will enable
you sn raise and Keep more stock ;
and g there is profit in ten calves,
there 's more i'm fifty.
To- less extent, the same Is true
of hcgs; but it is easier to orer-
stoci farm with hogs, than with
cattI" or sheep.
Si"i almost every farmer could
just - well keep and iatten two or
three tunes as many hogs as he does,
if corld havo little more confideLce
in h;~ calling, hire more labor, cult
vate more of his land that is now
lying idle. In a word, if the farmer
worh] "push things" we would
have fewer farmers poor in purse.

tyINC REyOND THEIR MEANS.

LIVING BEYOND THEIR MEANS
Bulwer says poverty is only an idea,
in nine cases out of ten. Some men,
with $lOO, 600 year, suffer more for
want of means than others with 500.
The reason is, the richer man has ar
tificial wants. His income is $40, 600
a year, he suffers enough for being
dunned for unpaid debts to kill a
sensitive man. A man who earns a
dollar a day, and does not go in debt
is the happier of the two. Very few
people who have never been rich will
believe this: but it is true. There
are thousands and thousands with
princely incomes, who never know a
minutes peace because they live be-
yond their means. There is really
moro happiness among the wOkring
men in the world than among those
who are called rich.

The Time 10 Cut Clover.

An exchange very appropriately
says, in regard 10 the time for cutting
clover, that heavy growth of clover
badly krocked down and twisted
together by rain and wind, is bad
crop 10 handle. Better cut heavy
crop early, rather tI.an run the risk
of having it fall down. What you
lose in the first crop by early cutting,
you will gain in the second or in
seed. Or, if you are short o. pas
ture, an early cut field OF clover soon
gives capital bite for recently
wcaned lambs. But early cut clover
shrinks good deal, and it requires
extra care in curing. The hay is very
deceptive 1t appears cured when it
is not. The sap is quite weak, and
the ingredients of the clover are only
organized aud consequently
more inclined to run into injurious
fermentation. Early cut clover,
therefore, must be thoroughly cured.
1t then makes capital hay for mich
cows.

MR.. AKERMANs REMOVAL TO TAKE PLACE M
MEDIATELY CONTEMPLATED RETIREMENT
OF SECRETARY ROBSON.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSRI
WASHINGTON. Dec. 11.-Matters have reached the
point, now where there can no longer be shadow
of doubt that Mr. Alderman will at once retire from
the Attorney Generalship and be succeeded by ex.
Senator Williams of Oregon. This change was sub
stantialIy decided upon several days ago, but has
been withheld for certain reasons. which make q
longer delay unnecessary.
The retiring Attorney General will be transferred
to other fields. if ho prefers to remain in an official
stations IL not it is thought that he will settle here
as an attorney before tho higher courts. 1t was
ported that Mr.. Alderman could have received any
foreign appointment that was vacant or likely to be
So but his friends concluded that such position
would not be to his taste. It therefore prob
able that he will be offered legal position for life
in one of tho United States Courts for one of the
Southern States.
The report that Secretary Robeson will soon retire
from tho Navy Department finds many believers. 1t
seems certain that he will be married to the brilliant
and accomplished Mrs. Aulck. before the holidays.
and many wclinformed persons declare that it is his
intention to go abroad in some ministerial capacity
as soon as that event OCCURS
