North and from the West. In England the
matter has engaged the particular attention Of
the Government for the past twoyears. Nur-
series have been established in various parts
of the kingdom, and with the encouragement
of the Government, are making large importa-
tions of eggs and cocoons from all parts Of the
World. In Mexico and in various parts of the
Northern States, it is business csrried on with
great profit to the owners of nurseries.
The experiment of raising the silk worm at
Beaufort, says the Advertiser, has been made
with the most satisfactory results. The cocoons
produced are, as we have stated very beau
tiful to our uneducated eye, and the fact
that efforts are being made to establish nur-
sery at that place proves that the parties max
ing the experiment are willing to risk a con-
siderable amount of capital in it. Should the
doctor succeed in his efforts (and we sincerely
hope he will,) it must open in South Carolina
field of great profit for her people, and will
probably do away to a certain extent with the
culture of cotton on the sea islands.

Gunbs, Horse.

"Gumbs," said the man, after examining the
animal, "that horse has the gastraoerysipela-
tous. You'd better paint his neck with tur-
pentine and Put hy-blister on his nose"
Gumbs followed these directions, and the
next morning the horses neck was raw from
the jawbone to the shoulder, and he had on his
nose swelling as large as the horns of rhi-
noceros.
Gumbs was scared, and sent for livery
stable man, who looked at the horse and said /:
"Gumbs, there is nothing the matter with
that horse but little attack of hippozymosis
Just mix some molasses and rum and give it to
him in his feed, and he'll be all right to-mor-
row."
Gumbs gave him gallon of rum and molas-
ses, and that night the horse went snorting
around the stable with the dekirium tremens,
kicked half the edifce into splinters, and
nearly choked himself trying to eat the breech-
ing band. Gumhs found the horse in the
morning in q more deploraole condition than
ever. SO he called in q veterinary surgeon,
who @.st his eye over the animal and OBJ
served to Gurnbs:
"Mr. Gumbs, this is genuine case of hippo
typhoid laryngitis Whatyour horse wants is
cayenne pepper injected into the nostrils, and
hourly doses of aconite and arsenicum mixed,
pint for pint, and feed with cut hay"
Gumbs Immediately went around and bought
a gallon of cayenne pepper and a cart load of
the drugs. The horse sneezed all that night
with such sorority and energy that he kept
everybody in the neighborhood awake, and
when Gumbs visited the stable next morning
he was alarmed to find his horses eyes terribly
inAamed with red pepper, and his nose worse
than ever, while the body of the animal was
swelled by the aconite until it was as large
around as sugar hogshead. Then Gumbs
rushed around to another veterinary surgeon,
and when he came he viewed the horse for a
few moments, and said:
IT tell you, Mr.. Gumbs, your horse has got
the hipporhinorrhea, and got it bad p
'Then, of course the horse will die, said
Gumbs, eff it has come to that"
"Not necessarily" remarked the doctor.
"Just get barrel of coal tar and sulphur and
burn it under the horses nose for a few hours
to disinfect him, then feed him and let him
rest"
And Gumbs did. He burned that stuff un-
der the horses nose, and the animal suhocated
in a quarter of an hour; and, when Gumbs
came in to see how the medicine was working,
he found the stable in flames and an underdone
bay horse lying in the hottest portion of the
fire.
So Gumbs has lost his horse, and he feels
encouraged, because, just after the fire was
extinguished, another surgeon came in, and
when he heard Gumbs' story he comforted him
by remarking that there was nothing the mat
ter with the horse in the first place, and that
he was deluded ass for ever scrubbing the
animal with turpentine and blstering him, and
for listening to the tales of the other lunatics
who came there to poison and sufocate the
unhappy brute.-Mar Adeler, in Philadelphia

Why Lands are Low in the South.
CAMDEN, S. G., Nov. 27, 1872.

CAMDEN, S. G., Nov. 27, 1872.
Editor of the South:
In the great work, in which you evince SO
much ability and ZEAL of directing the north
ern mind and northern capital towards the de-
velopment of the South, there is a very forcibie
line of argument not dwelt upon, which de-
South can be developed at great profit to those
whose capital and energy shall compass the
end.
1t was often urged in the olden times, as a
reproach to the Southern people and as an evil
dence of the "curse of slavery" that, possessed
of the fairest land, the most delightful climate
and the richest staple products, they did not
improve their real estate, and that the market
of their lands was not half so great as it would
have been if titled by free labor.
These two facts may be admitted, and it may
be further admitted that slavery was the cause
of these results without at all attributing the
effect to the course Of slavery" or "the ineti-
cheney of slave labor"
Slavery operated to cheaper lands in various
modes, all consistent with we'll recognized laws
of political economy, and not to be traced to
providential intervention.
Flrst.-Property in man created an immense
preponderance, in value and estimation, OF per-
sonal estate over real estate.
Second.-The natural increase of that species
of property gave it an importance compared to
which the product of labor and land was often
secondary.
Third-Farm labor and most menial avoca-
tions, being performed by an inferior race did,
to an injurious extent degrade labor and Grip
pie energy.
Fourth.eThe easy mobility of this involun-
tary labor, the vast extent of fresh lands IN the
Southwest, and the peculiar fitness OF those
lands for cotton culture rendered it easier and
more economical to wear out old lands and re-
move to fresh fields rather than to improve the
old homestead.
Individual wealth was thus increased, but the
rich blood that warmed the veins of new States
was drawn from and chilled the hearts of the
old mother States on the Atlantic slope.
The facts are acknowledged though the ope-
ration of the causes is questioned. Granting
then that slavery diminished the value of lands
at least in the uplands-one halt, it follows
that free labor should double that value, and
that lands in the South should now command
twice their save-standard value.
But what are the facts now presented-those
lands have fallen to half the price common be-
fore the war. Does this disprove the position
taken by the North and admitted by me? Not
at all. The fact is just this. Slave labor has
gone out and free labor has not yet come in
that abhorrent thing in nature, vacuum, ex-
lists; and it is evident that, as lands now can be
bought throughout the South at one-tourth
their value when used by free labor, those who
come in and fill the vacuum will by that very
act, aside from profitable employment and pro-
ducts soon quadruple their investments

SILK CULTURE IN SOUTH CARoLINA.-The
Savannah Advertiser has had a conversation
with a gentleman, resident of Beaufort, in
this State, who expects soon to go North for
the purpose Of making arrangements for the
establishment of silk worm nursery at Beau
fort. He appears to have given the subject the
closest attention. The cocoons which he
showed the writer and which were grown near
Beaufort are said to be very beautiful, and
were stated by him TO be as fine as any ever
grown in the United States. He carries them
on with handsome letters of introduction and
recommendation to silk manufacturers at the
North, and certainly, upon consideration OF
the facts before us, we cannot but say that he
must succeed in making arrangements satistac-
tory to all.
The breeding of the silk worm was, in colo
NAL times, quite an extensive business in South
Carolina. Its final abandonment as far as we
can learn was not or account of the want OF
profit, but the great difficulty existing at that
time in transporting from the old country a
sufficient number of skillful manipulators to
take care of the plant and the feeding of the
worm it its earlier stages. At the present time
these are comparatively easily found at the

LESSONS ON THE HORSE MALADY.-There
seems to be compensation for all the evils
that afilict us, and we feel that the prevailing
disease among horses will prove no exception
People must have learned valuable lessons by
this afflction, which ought to result in an uti-
mate advantage to horses, if it has proved a
serious evil to men.
The value of horses will be better apprecia-
ted. 1t will be seen how dependent we are
upon them-for business, for pleasure, and for
the necessities of life. All commercial and
financial interests have been disturbed, aborers
have lacked employment, men have taken the
place of coach, car, express and team horses,
brides have walked to their weddings, and
funeral professions have been limited to sin
gle carriage Nothing less than pestilence
among men could have so awakend the public
anxiety and the public sympathy
Better appreciation ought to lead to better
treatment. 1t is natural that we treat best
those we love best and value most highly. 1t
has always been true of pet animals 1t ought
to have been true of all. But we have gone
on half blindly, using and abusing our faithful
servants, and, because they uttered no com
plant, have failed to realize their value.
If sick animals have had the best care, the
best attention to diet and regimen, and the best
medical skill, it may induce people to think
that animals when well may need all these to
keep them so. Ii men have bought extra

At length it is proved that a man has
more vanity than a woman. This is the way
that it came to pass: A curious Investigator
watched while thousand men passed a look
ing-glass used as a sign on the sidewalk in
Broadway. The result of his observation
showed that nine hundred and ninety-nine men
glanced complacently at their image as they
passed. The other man was blind. Four
hundred and ifty-two women passed during
the same hour and half, and none of them
looked in the mirror-all of them being en-
gagged intently in examining each others ap-
pearance and dress.
