.FARM-AND HOUSEHOLD.
t'FARMERS, CLURS.7

Farmers should follow the Example of
merchants, mechanics, manufactures, as
Well as other classes of our industrial popu-
iatlon, and combine for self-protection, be-
cause combination gives them strength,
and when thus united they can learn of
each other very many valuable things
that without organization would be lost to
each other. and the world. A contempor-
airy speaking on this subject says: "Let
us farmers, quit some of the old hackneyed
paths, and avail ourselves of the examples
offered by the shrewd, money-making class
es about us, and thus gain strength by
union, protect our interests by a better
knowledge of them, and gain ability to
state and defend them, and learn of each
other how to secure the best products in
our art at the least cost" f."i. .1. t''

SPEEDY GROWTH OF RADIsHEs.-In the
publications of the Acclimatizatian Society
of Palermo, we are informed that radishes
may be obtained at any season, and very
quickly, lin the following manner: The
seeds are to be first soaked for twenty-four
hours and then placed in bags and exposed
to the sun. They will begin to terminate
in about twenty-four hours, and are then
to be set in box filled with well-manured
earth, and moistened from time to time
with lukewarm water. In five or six days
the radishes will attain the size of small
onion. To grow radishes in winter the
box is to be placed in warm cellar, COW
cred with a top, and the earth moistened
from day to day with lukewarm water.

The Land Commission swlndle.

We print to-day second instalment ol
the revelations Of the Radical Joint Investi-
eating Committee concerning the Land
Commission Swindle. The committee show
that the expenditures are largely In excess
Of the appropriations; that the whole affair
was "an outrageous and enormous" freud;
that Land Commissioner Leslie was spaid
s5O,OOO to resign; and that the State has
not. valid titles to one-half the lands pur.
chased by the Commission at from twice
to ten times their value. Well may the peo.
pie applaud the statement of the committee
that legal proceedings should begin at once
TO bring ''these fraudulent transactions to
'light, and the corrupt complicators to
Judgement" The whole history, however,
is not yet done. There is more to come.

The New Year.

We are all in the habit Of looking back;
looking back upon merrier days when, Gin
sthe morn and liquid dew OF YOUTH" the
world seemed filled with joyous promise;
looking back to the times when the blood
sparkled merrily In the throbbing veins. and
hearts beat high with confidence and hope;
looking back to the brocades and laces
which have sadly given place to the we'll
worn homespun; looking back, in the misery
,oi defeat, to what time We drank the new
wine OF victory; looking back, from the
plain, to the glitteriag heights where the
travel-stained wayfarer began the journey OF
life; looking back from sorrow to gladness,
from happiness to grief, from poverty to
wealth, from sumptuous fare to the toll OF
winning daily bread. We all look back, and
happy are they who find, in the past, a
worthy lesson, and q good omen for the
days to come. They who have done much
may realize that they should have done
more. They who nave accomplished nothing
may waken to the knowledge that one other
should not 5e added to the roll Of wasted
years. And the peoples who have known
tribulation may see, as in mirror, some
of their faults, ere they turn their faces,
steadily and resolutely, towards the labors
Of the future What was left undone teaches
what should be done, and what is done
should teach what more remains to do.
For South Carolina the year now ended
has been one Of mingled loss and gain. The
work of the husbandnan has been fruitful
beyond expectation. While other States
have suffered from unpropitious seasons, the
crops Of South Carolina have been unusually
abundant. "A heavy yield Of cotton, made
at low cost, has been safely housed, and
sells at q price which amply compensates
the farmer for his toll. The sea islands, for
the first time since the war, have escaped
the caterpillar and the drought, and, as q
whole, have had highly lucrative year. On
the other side we know that far more than
the people have gained, by thesweat Of their
brow, has been stolen from them by public
robbers. The State debt, which q year ago
was about $1,000, 0o0 is now not less than
SIS, 900, 900, and may be $50, 900, 900. Every
effort of the intelligent citizens to control
legislation, in the interests Of economy and
decency, has failed. The Governor OF the
State, arraigned by his own party, has, for
the moment, escaped punishment. And to
the losses by official theft are added the
rigorE, without the benefits, of military rule.
The suspension Of the writ OF AabeaS corpus
in the upper counties Of the State paralyzed
their industries, and has seriously retarded
their progress. Too many young men, dis
