a Good Joke on Robson.

ai<. Robson is just now acting Sec
rotary of Wan, il the absence of Gen.
Bel1nap, as well as Secretary of the
Navy. That confusion might arise
from one man undertaking to run two
such departments is quite probable.
Hence, q funny story, concocted by
some wag at the expense Of the double
secretary. 1t was thus s United
States ship of war was laying Off fensa-
cola awaiting the arrival of twenty
marines to complete her complement.
Several days slipped by, and the
marines did not appear. Finally the
commander. who was waxing impa-
tient, received word that the marines
we've coming, and soon there appeared
on the a5eaeL twenty cavalrylnen, with
their saddles on their i,aeAs and their
sabres dangling by their SIDES. Avhat
- make Of this the officers of the ship
di1; .n,t know. The commander tele-
graphed the ieacretary of the Navy of
the subject, ana that Official having in
stituted inquiries discovered that
t~enty marines had reported FOX ser
vice. With acavalryregiment at Omaha.
The orders had got mixed, the marines
being intended for Florida, Of course,

Farsners' Oranges in Georgia.

The formation of number Ct these
associations in Georgia has been an
nounced through the public press. We
understand their object to be the adop-
ton of the associated plan of procuring
cheaper supplies for the members, also
the discussion Of matters of interest to
the great industry in which they are
engaged. If there is any political or
other object aimed at, we have seen no
allusion to it, nor do we believe that
anything of the kind Is contemplated.
4 sufficient number Of local Oranges
having been established and sending
delegates ss representatives, State
Grange YVES formed atAugusta on We'd
nesday last. The number of county
Oranges represented was sixteen.
The Grange adjourned to meet IA the
city Of Macon the first night of the ap-
proaching Georgia State Fair.
The State Grange, before adjourn
ing, returned thanks TO Colonel Aiken
for his able address and for his dis
tinguished services, which were indis-
pensable in the organization of the
State Grange.

IMPRESSION IN REGARD TO 1T.
THE GRAND BEAR SCHEME OF
THE SPANISH BANK A
FAILURE.
NO LONGER ANY FEARS FOR
THE HEAVY SUGAR HOUSES.

HAVANA, May 3tNoon.-The COM
mander of the British gunboat Plower
has demanded the removal of O'Kelley
to Havana for trial and an immediate
change from his present unhealthy
place of confinement AMI other meas
ures for mitigation of his imprison-
ment. The impression here is that the
interference of the British commander
will only complicate matters without
beneftting O'Kelley.
HAvANA, May 3-Night. The
Spanish Bank is unable to supply the
demand for exchange. The grand
bear scheme of the bank has failed
and exchange is rapidly rising.
The merchants consider the crisis
over.
There are no longer any fears that
some of the heavy sugar houses Will
be compelled to suspend, although
some OF them will lose heavily.

AA@aheF Grand Southern Canal
Project.


Project.
Another grand canal route is just
now being discussed by commercial
men in the South. It is to extend tgom
the Rio Grande to the Atlantic; the
eastern terminus to be established on
the coast of Florida, accessible to rail-
roads running from Savannah. A COM
petent engineer has, for some time,
been examining the route, of which he
has prepared maps, protiles, etc, show
ing its practicabiiity, all of which will
be laid before the convection of Gov
ernors to be held at Atlanta, Georgia,
the Goth of May. It is proposed to
open and establish an inland route,
making available all the great estuaries
which fringe the Southern coast, thus
securing inland navigation protected
from storms and seas. It is estimated
that the entire route viii not require
an actual canal Of more than one hun
dred and twenty Iailes, and this will
be in sections. The route will be across
the Mississippi River at New Orleans.
passing thence along the extreme
Southern gulf coast into Florida. The
Senate Committee on Inland Trans
portation has been invited and will
probably attend the Atlanta conven-
ton, when this new canal project, as
well as that of the Great Western
Canal, to unite the Tennessee River
with the Atlantic, near Savannah, Ga
Will be fully discussed.

CORN

CORN.
We are partial to the old fashioned
way of running round corn, at its first
working, with coulter or very narrow
b1lll-tongue, and breaking ont the mid
dies with long scOoters, if the ground
is hard or has not been previously well
broken, or with long shovels If IL good
condition. Put in good condition nor.
it is not apt 70 become hard and run to-
gether again the present season. and
the subsequent workings may be given
with sweep, cuitIvatOr or harrow. The
coulter is well adapted to running near
the corn. because it throws little dirt
to it. at the same time that it stirs the
ground yell, and leaves very little
work to be done by the hoe. 1t is in
furious to corn 10 throw much dirt to
it during it's early stages OF growth
Ii hilled up, it should be done just
before the spur roots begin to from,
PLANTING BOTTOM LANDS IN CORN.
Much of our branch, creek and river
bottoms are too wet to plant before the
10th or 18th of May Where this
| arises from inability to obtain adequate
fall to secure good drainage-it is ex-
cusable, but not otherwise. Surely
upon land as productive and valuable
| as valley lands, one can afford to
| underdrain thoroughly where it is
| practicable. Properly drained, co1.a
| can be planted in them us early as on
| uplands. Those not dry enough to
| plant before May are liable to be too
| wet at times through the whole Sum
mer. 1t is best, therefore, to bed up
all such and plant upon bed. After
bedding up, run q light harrow Oh the
| top of the beds to clear them off. and
| plant shallow, that the corn may come
up quickly and grow off rapidly
| Where lands such as we have been
| speaking of have been uncultivated for
some years they are apt to break up
| liz clods. To prevent this, plough
them the first time with short, sharp
shovel and with suitable plough run
| deeper the second time. Or if free of
instructions, they may be turned over
deeply at first with o two-horse plough.
| A good dressing of then with
smoother or harrow viii bring it into
fair condition. Where it is to be
bedded, however, we prefer tho first
| mode.
FIRST WORKING OF COTTON.
By the time the corn is disposed of.
cotton will need its first working. To
avoid ''getting behind" it is very i'm
portant that these first workings should
be begun as early aud pushed forward
as rapidly as possible. Not moments
time should be lost. Just as soon as
the cotton is up, the ground OH each
side of it should be lightly scraped off.
either with scraper, sweeps or harrow.
Something that can run very near the
cotton, kill incipient weeds and grass,
break the crust, &c, and yet not cover
up the cotton. The dirt scraped off
being thrown in the middle will cover

where the cotton stands. Follow now

A Persistent Woman N'hipper.

Martin Buckley stands pre-eminent
among all the roughs, hoodlums and out
laws of Phoebe as the champion woman
whipper. His exploits in that line en-
title him to distinction among the low
est of the low, and his conduct shows
him destitute of all the finer instincts of
mans nature. We would not call him Il
brute, for the male among the lower
order of animals regards the female with
tenderness and care. 1t was reserved for
man, created in the image of his Maker,
10 debase himself 50 far as to mistreat a
woman. This man Buckley. it seems,
mad been living with II woman to
Whom he was never married,
out whom he recognized as his

upon complaint of the woman Buckley
was arrested, found guilty of assault and

Last night Browns Hall was crowded
again by an assemblage of ladies' and
gentlemen, all of whom Appeared to be
happy, aud especially pleased that they
were assisting in a good work.
The way in which the ladies Of Phoebe
charm the dollars from the pockets OF
their friends is really admirable. We
have often heard that there is an artery,
unknown to anatomists, which runs to
the pocket, and that when the contents
OF the pocket flow therefrom the heart
bleeds sorely. But We have discovered
that when the heart is attacked the pock-
ct beeds. To our observations of many
| individuals last evening we are indebted
for this discovery.
One important part of the fair, and in
fact OF every fair of this kind, which we
missed at our early visit yesterday even
ing was the ''grab-bag." On the preyi-
Gus evening Miss Fannie Lowell Whose
name was inadvertently omitted in ves-
terday S report had charge of this insti-
tuition. In this lottery, unlike all others
Fortuna smiled on all who came to sue.
1t Is really singular how (under certain
clrcumstances) SO many men show such
decided eagerness to obtain little
plncushlon or pen-wiper, or top, or such
like article.
As we were about to depart our atten-
ton was attracted by some very queer
sounds which appeared to come from
