FINE MAHTRLa-We called day or
two since at the elegant show room oil
Capt. Fisher, which he has Just fitted up
in the Star foundry building on Market
street, and were surprised 10 fnd It one
Of the neAtest and most complete Of
tho kind IN the city. What but few
days ago was one the darkest and most
forbidding looking apartments, is now
one OF the most bright and cheerful. A
few dollars expended In paint and plaster
have effected 8 complete metamorphosis.
Corresponding with this fine room we
found arranged around the walls The
largest and most elegant stock Of marble.
lied slate and iron mAntles ever before on
exhibition in this city. So closely has
nature been Initiated that only the most
practiced eye can detect the difference
betweenthe counterfeit and the genuine
marble. A number Of these splendid
specimens Of art have arches and lenders
with gold and silver trimmings. We
were gratifed to hear that the sales Of
these fine goods have been satisfactory
and It could hardly be otherwise, since
Capt Fisher offers them at figures only q
slight advance asked Tor on the compare.

who need anything in the way Of
frst.class goods Of the character named
TO visit Capt F.'s wareroom. 1t will
pay them. To those who do mol
want TO purchase we would say, 1t will
repay you for the trouble to walk down
and look at the elegant specimens Of arl
on exhibition. sEl
The immense establishment Of Captain

the orders received Tor its productions,
ItAaords us great satisfaction to chronicle
the success Of the Star Foundry, for there

Cooley Corn in Florida.

The Department Report says
"Cooley corn has succeeded well in
Florida. MIR j. d. Wolfe, OF Pensa-
cola, says that he marketed his pro
duct two weeks in advance OF all
other corn, and that for early ma,u-
rity and producriyeness it is u%nrival-
led in that section. On one-siXth of
an acre, although the season was
unfayorable, he raised ono hundred
and ten dozen ears of good size,
which melted in marked $24.75 or
at the race Of $l4S 80 per acre. Mr..
W. planted his corn at different
timec, with reference to having roast
ing ears until the frosts in Noyem'
Der. Having planted peas between
the rows, he would have, III addition
to his corn and pea product, corn
fodder and forage at the rate OF two
tons to the acre, the ground being
cleared in time for II crop of turnips,
ready for the market in january"

Bald-Headed People.

Frederick Kemp writes from the
silver mines Of Montana, giving the
following hint in reference to a cure
for bald-headedness "a friend OF
mine who had the misfortune to be
bald-headed, knowing that there is
q wonderful invigorating power in
the suns rays, last spring threw
away his hat, and worked in tie
gulch all Spring, Summer and Fall,
bareheaded, and also for the first
few days at midday. For a few
days the rays of the hot sun on his
head were almost unbearable; after
that time he experienced no uneas,-
ness whatever. The result was that
in the Fall he had a good head OF
hair. And in this experiment he
was not nlone-several of his ac'
quaintances who were bald-headed
having followed the same plan, they
were all fortunate enough to eX'

The Cost and Profit Of Tobacco.

Says the Food Jouyuai "Ihc duty
on tho imported tobacco leaf, in
1870, yielded to the British Govern
ment &c, 5000 GGS manufacturers
were engaged in manufacturing it
for market, and 100000 retailers are
wholly or partially supported by the
sale of the commodity in its various
forms. We are accustomed to speak
of tho cost of tobacco by the timo it
gets into the hands of its consumers,
with APPENDICES for its employment,
including nlI sorts of pipes, smut
boxes, and tho general pNrapber-
nalia, as equal to the amount OF
duty, which together would be SOME
thing more than El3,00O,OOO; but
DR.. Murrny's figures lead 20 some
calculations which are calculated to
excite consideration. If, for exam
ple, each of the 2GS,O OO retailers OF
tobacco were annually supplied with
only L2O worth, exclusive of duty,
the manufacturers would have to
prepare for the markets L5,3GO,OO0
worth and if the average profits Of
the retailers were 800 per annum,
that would be another C5,37O.
Neither foreign cigars, nor append
ages for the employment Of tobacco,
are included in these statistics nor
is it possible to conjecture, within
some hundreds of thousands o!
pounds, what the expense of these
would be, but another million pounds
may he safely added therefore, the
fcrenamed items would stand thus 4:
One years supply Of tobacco, g.

improvement Of Farms.

1t has been supposed that when a
farmer has improved his land, so as
to make it yield large crops, he has
been successful, even if convenience
and beauty OF the home and its sur
rounIings have been sacrificed.
While there has been some money
made for the time being, the build
ings have been neglected, so that
home has no attraction for the chill
drcn, and farm life becomes UNI
popular. In riding through the
country we sec great progress has
been made within the last twenty
five years, among farmers, not only
OF making their farms more produc-
tive, but in making them more at
lractivc. And yet there is great
room for Improvement The lack
of taste in country houses is II de-
cilcd drawback to real success in
farming Any one can form a pretty
correct estimate OF the intellectual,
if not the moral state OF the com
munity, by looking over their farms,
taking Il standpoint from the house.
1t is not the cOmmOdious, expensive
buildings, which gives the proper
estimate, because all formers cannot
afford, and do not require these, but
it is the manner in which everything
is cared for. 1t is Il great mi ,taac
that money spent in reasonably inn
proving the appearance Of II place is

tagc, and make II great difference
when it is sold. And even if it be
not sold, these things will add great
" to the enjoyment OF the owner
and his family, rs well as to the
nciehborhood in which he lives.
Could the old passion for more
land be transferred into u passion
for identifying and adjoining oui
homes, u greater benefit would be
rendered the country, and the cause
of agriculture.

Points for Farmers.

The ARMY Worm The methods oil
combating the army worn may be
briefly summed up rs follows:
First-Burn over the meadows,
especially the sloughs and low
ground Dis, in the neighborhood Of the
place where the worms stopped their
devastations, and where, of course,
they went into the ground to trans
form, and where the moths must first
appear. The eggs are deposited nj
ter mid summer, and the burning
may be performed in the fall or win
ter, or before the Matching Of the
eggs III the spring.
Second-Fall plowing in the same
situations would undoubtedly de-
stroy most of the eggs by bnryinr
them so deeply that ither thew wopld
not batch, or the young worms would
starve.
Third-The progress Of The worms,
when partially or fully grown, can be
checked by blowing deep fnrroH'
across their path, and if the pain:
