sion Here, on this farm is the
celebrated horse "Cruiser," brought
by Mr.. Rarey from Europe, the
beast having been presented TO him
in England because he was the only
human being who had ever been
able to handle him. Through Mr..
Rarey's skill the vicious brute be-
came entirely tractable aud sub.

only person who was ever able to
control him, or who was out of dan.

Some time previous to Mfr. Rar.

by strong, high fence, and a
stable built, exclusively for "Cruls-

The LADIES New YEARS RECEP-
TIoNs.-We do not know what eff
feet our earnest appeal that the
wine table be abolished by the la
dies of Baltimore at their New
Years receptions has had at home,
but the matter has been taken up at
the "head centre Of fashion" The
New York papers announce that
the ladies of that city have very
generally determined to omit the
wine table and substitute more
harmless liquids for the refresh
ment of their guests, AS these la
dies receptions originated in New
York, and have since gradual
ly spread over the whole country,
it can no longer be said that fashion
requires our ladies to send home
their friends and guests besotted
with liquor. Those who follow. the
old style of entertainment will,
therefore, be voted as unfashiona-
BILE, and those who follow the new
style will have the satisfaction of
knowing that their friends will rise
next morning minus the headaches

so prevalent at the commencement

From the Plantation.
Sod as q Fertilizer.

During the past year I made limited ex-
pertinent in the use of grass sod as a fertil-
izer 1t was desired to plant piece of
worn-out land in cabbage. Homemade
manure was exhausted, and it was doubtful
whether commercial fertilizers would pay on
land so utterly destitute of humus and all
other carbonaceous matter. Burrows were
opened four feet apart with one-horse turn
plow, which was run twice each way, OPEN
ing to depth and width of about ten
inches. The roadsides were resorted to for
wild grass sods, which were taken up with a
spade, of width to suit the furrow, and of
such length as the toughness of the sod
would allow These were were turned bot
tom upwards in the burrows, which were
then filed full of loose earth with hoe
After the first rain the plants, which were
of good size, were dibbled into the loose
earth, the roots reaching down generally to
the .sods. The plants gained arapid growth
within few days, and the result was such a
crop of cabbage as I have never seen pro-
duced except in soil in high state of fer
tility previously, or made SO for the special
crop by very liberal application of fertil-
izers. The sod was source Of both mois-
ture and fertility, and maintained thrift

rance and vice black men could not
afford to build up an aristocracy
upon it. And the last prejudice
which seems to be left upon which
to found an aristocracy, is an arls-

school rights would defeat. Why
will not those who are always
croaking give some of their atten-

people are opposed to mixed schools
