but on further questioning We
were informed that we had not
done SO. This set us to thinking
what our Arkansas mile might be,
If it tried ITSELF or what amount Of
linear space the natives call mile.
But vanish as a Cape Fly-away
may, it is sometimes reached, and
after several hours riding we as
reword Of perseverance under
difficulties, reached our destination,
and soon forgot the iatigues which
we underwent in reaching his
dwelling. After transacting some
business connected with our school
affairs we left Mr.. Daniels, and
went TO Squire Riddles, where we
were Hospitality received, and from
thence to Tom Robinson's store,
where we met Messrs Walker and
f. Nj. Worsham. After dinner,
which we took with the former
gentleman, we again, struck out
through the swamp for Mill Bayou,
stopping at our old friend Fassetts
on the way. Here we took back
seat, and listened with open ears,
and greedy mind at learned dis
cussion between Fassett and "Thc
State" on tho woman's rights
question. After breezy argument
of some minutes Fassett called of
his forces and sounded retreat,
acknowledging himself beaten. This
is the first time in the memory of
man that anybody has ever gotten
the advantage of him.
Here was the eliminating point
of our journey. and after transacting
q little school business, and also
looking after the interests of the
OscEoLA TINES a little, We again
turned our horses heads homeward,
and after an inadvcnturous trip
reached the shadow of our vine
and fig tree, weary and worn, and
ready to forswear for q few days
horseback travel on bottom roads.
Our subscription book was enl;ven-
ed with the names of nineteen
subscribers on the trip-which
shows that Chickasawbia apprc.

Chickasawba.

In company with the States At
torncy, for this the 1lth Judicial
Circuit, we started bright and early
on Tuesday morning forthe classic
mounds and streams of Chickasaw-
ba, on our way in the capacity of
District School Superintendent, to
establish schools IN the 5th and 9th
school districts. After weary
ride through broiling sun, on a
road not very inviting under the
most favorable Of circumstances,
we reached in the evening the
friendly shelter of Mr.. Samuel
Thompson, School Trustee for the
5th district, where We had a good
supper and an excellent nights rest,
rendered all the more pleasant by
the genuine hospitality with which
the Entertainment for man and
beast" was bestowed. After break
fast the next morning we saddled
our nags and set out to find the
residence of Squire Daniels, who
we were told lived ga matter Of
two miles away" We started in a
gay humor at the prospect of SO
soon finding another resting place,
and oonversing mcrrily we rode
the way pointed out to us, but after
having been in the saddle an hour
or moro, and seeing nothing of the
Squires hospitable mansion, we
began to doubt the accuracy of the
pilot who had sent us on this way.
While we were thus doubling, "the
state" being in no very pious
franc of mind, we met a native,
from whom we asked tho distance
to our destination. To our surprise
he said "seven or eight miles"
T" How far are We then from the
residence of Mr.. Thompson ?"
" "some five or six miles" was the
answer. We began to think that
we had straycd from the right path,

PLANT TREES.


A report was read on Forest Culture
at the recent meeting of the Normal Ag-
ricultural Society in ST. Louis, in which
the fact was brought out that the trees
of our continent are rapidly passing away
that extensive tracts in the Atlantic
States are already stripped of their best
timber, and that the region of the great
lakes, on the upper Mississippi, and in
the British possessions, in being rapidly
exhausted. In the Rocky Mountains,
where there is no hard wood, the spruce
and pine are being consumed by the
miner and the builder. The rapid growth
of the Pacific coast is thinning cut The
timber of California faster than the
growth of the forests. And thus it is
shown that, as the demand for wood
increases, the supply decreases. Still,
the danger of a failure In timber is not
the chief evil of this rapid Importance
of our forest trees. 1t is urged that eli
mate is greatly modified, as we'll as taste
cultivated and natural beauty increased,
by sparing and planting trees. The So
ciety passed the following resolutions
Resolped, That We recommend farmers
throughout the United States to plant
with trees THAR billy or other waste lands
and at least ten per cent. of their farms
nth trees, in such a manner as to pro-
vide shelter belts or clumps, and rapid
growing and useful timber.
Resolred, That we solicit the Legisla-
lures of the several States to pass laws
providing bounties for planting useful
trees, encouraging the planting OF the
nurseries of young timber-trees and
also the appointment of an arbor- day for
the annual planting of trees, as has al
ready been done in the State Of Nebraska
Resoloed, That we ask our Congress
of the United States TO require, So far a.
practicable. that hereafter rairoad coui-
panies and settlers receiving the benefit
of the homestead and other acts donating
lands, shall plant with timber trees one
tenth of the land SO donated.
There seems to be an interest spring
Ing up in this subject, throughout the
country. The State authorities of Cali
foFnia have engaged professional arbor-
iculturist, at salary of s 5. 900, to super
intend the planting of forest trees through
the State; and nearer home, Harvard
has just established department q
"Arboretum.

RYE AND INDIAN BREAD.

For small Rye and Indian leaf, take
one quart zach a. rye and corn meal.
scald the latter with boiling water enough
to wet it thoroughly, then add one
gill of molasse,, the rye meal, and warm
water enough TO make the whole as thick
as can well be stirred with large IRON
spoon; make it into q thick loaf-a two
quart pan will suit this quantity but
whatever the quantity may be, the loai
is better to be as Iluch as three or four
inches thick. Smooth it over With the
vet hand, and place it on the top of the
stove, where it will simmer, but not burn:
the steam thus gsneeated In the bottom
of the loaf will PASS up into it aud make
it light throughout; this will be shown
b. cracks on the surface. and in an hour
! AMI a half it viii be ready for the oven,
bake it with medium heat three or four
hours Ii less crust is preferred, it may
be steamed three hours, and then bake ID
one hour. If it comes out sticky and
heavy, yca have vet it too much, or the
meal is too ine; If hard and firm. it was
not vet enough This method Of raising,
which supersedes the necessity of using
yeast or powders, improves its swestness;
