The humor of Frenehmen is OCCASION

The humor of Frenehmen is OCCASION
ally somewhat grim. A compact was
entered into many years ago by q party
of thirteen friends that they should have
an annual dinner, and that upon the re-
currence of the anniversary banquet, if
any of the party were dead, the table
should be laid and his chair should be
kept for his spiritual presence. The
company is said to have embraced Dc
Musset, Theophile Gautier and other
literary and we'll known characters.
The passing years almost annually re-
duced the number, and recently one,
aged eighty-four, dined alone, the twelve
vacant seats being his only companions.

TIME financial crisis now pressing
4 on all, forces US to appeal to our
patrons. We believe that the crisis
will soon pass away, but in order to
have relief it Is necessary that the
farmers send forward their produce,
for It is the Cotton which furnishes
the currency by which the wheels of
business must be creased Wenido
not ask You to sell your cotton at q
sacrifice, but simply to placeit in our
hands for shipment, so thot we. can
feel assured Of having something
from which at the proper; time VIC can
realize the amount Of your indebted
ness. . We cheerfully agree to hold
such Cotton as you may send US for
any reasonable time that we may
agree upon. By this means you will
avoid all the dangers and exposurcrs
incident to its being stored at home,
and are in position to take imme-
date advantage of any favorable
change in prico-you will have the
satisfaction to know that you have
done all in your power to meet your
obligations, and this without any sac
ri6ce on your part.
Should you prefer it, we arc willing
to take Cotton at tho highest market
price in settlement of accounts or Tor
goods.

Bring Forward Yolr Cotton.

THE price of cotton is still declin,
/ = ing, and every indication is that
he price will not be higher for days
and probably for fonths to come, tor
eff the price Of cotton is low, when
but little is being brought to market,
how can we expect to realize higher
prices when the receipts are heavy,
as must be the case soon. SO bring
forward your cotton at once, and we
will either buy in settlements OF &C,
counts. or ship, at the option Of the
Farmer.

gHlHEY are extra flne-pure and
b heavy. The experience of plan
tiers who have been most successful in
raising Oats is that September is the
proper time for sowing. Hear what the
Southern Cultirutor says; Fall oats
were badly winter-killed this year
Spring oats have been unusually fine.
1t will be unwisc to CONCLUDE from this
that Fall oats won't do. Our own expe-
rience and the best information we can
get from all quarters is, that Fall Oats
are the most certain crop of the two,
and especially is this true, If they are
planted on rich land, Or if we'll ferti-
iized."

General debility, and the dependency by which

as the symptoms of incurabls physical decay. OF

Africa.

A gentleman residing in Natal Col
ony, South Africa, gives the following
interesting particulars concerning the
new gold mines recently discovered in
that section:
"There is probability of the Mara
bastadt gold fields turning out sue
cess. One reef is extremely rich, Civ
ing from so to $50 per ton of quartz.
There are now some hundreds of men
digging for alluvial gold, and they find
it, though not in large quantities. One
man has obtained a nugget of over half
an ounce Others have found very nice
gold of about the size of a barley-corn.
Mr.. Button, a scientific and enterpris-
ing Englishman, has formed a company
in London, with a capital of 9lOO, 900,
to work this reef. The new President,
Mr.. Burgess, from the Cape OF Good
Hope, has been to these fields, and pro-
claimed the whole country open to the
world for digging purposes, on the pay
ment of ten shillings for a license.
acknowledging becoming more diff
cult and expensive, many are leaving
there and going after gold. The dia-
mond region has been formed into
separate State or colony, with its own
Government and Legislature, and with
the control and expenditure of its own
revenue. There now seems every pro-
liability that railways through the Natal
Colony will soon be commenced. Sur
veys have been made. The first will be
constructed along the coast to accom-
modate the sugar-planters and coffee
growers. Labor is at present our great
want. It is both dear and scarce.
Every native man asks II or 13 shillings
per month. Food is also very dear,
Indian-meal selling at % shillings per
bag. Horses and mules are in many
cases superseding oxen on the sugar
estates. The mules are imported from
South America"

Good Teeth.

Civilization makes sad work with our
teeth. Savages are rarely ever troubled
with defect or an ache in their dental
apparatus. It is not hot drinks
which destroy them prematurely; nor
warm food, so much as acids, too con-
contracted in vinegar, pickles, ETC.,
which acts directly upon the lime in
their composition, and thus crumbles
them.
The foundation for sound, firm, white
teeth must be laid in early life, by sub
sisting on food that contains the ele-
ments which the teeth must have, or
they will be imperfectly formed, feeble
in structure, ar fall early into decay.
If wheat flour re never bOlted, but
eaten with the bran, as we find it par
TALLY in the graham bread, then the
system would be abundantly provided
with phosphate of lime, the essential
ingredient for the formation of the
teeth.
Butter contains a good proportion of
the phosphate of lime, and hence those
who consume much of it furnish from
that source a supply for keeping their
teeth in good condition. Children are
usually lovers of bread and butter,
especially if they are habitualIy fed
on white bread. In that way they OBJ
tain something for their teeth, but by
no means enough. The coarser the food,
especially bread, the better for young
people. The soundest teeth belong to
persons who have not been reared on
delicacies. Poor teeth become heredi-
tary, simply because the ancestral stock
was deprived, either by a perverted
taste, or the habit of feasting on rich
concentrated diet, of the phosphate of
lime which nature provides in the COW
erings of grain used as food, and in
some kinds of flesh on which carniverous
animals live. We cannot have sound
teeth unless the stomach has the right
materials for their manufacture.

Minter-Fattening Sheen.

The feeder takes in hand flock of
sheep in medium condition, and the
problem for him to solve is, how to put
them in high condition in the market
during the latter part of winter, or in
fore part of the spring. This we be-
lieve he can accomplish with the best
economy by feeding them high during
the two latter autumn months, and
then carrying along on medium feed
during the rest of the time he keeps
them.
Every farmer who has handled this
class of stock ought to know that there
is a great difference in the cost of fat
tening sheep which are put in winter
quarters in low condition, in compari-
son with those which go into the yards
in good order If a sheep has been
losing flesh during the latter part of
the fall, it requires considerable effort
to turn him round when cold weather
sets in, and set him on the road to a
good market; good shelter must be
had, and an abundance of the most

First Rate Sausage.

Pass your meat (witheut freezing)
through your meat cutter, put it on
kettle and place it on a stove or over a
moderate fire. Stir it thoroughly, being
careful not to let it cook or burn
on tn bottom, while another person
adds the following for ten pounds of
meat, three large tablespoons of salt;
five of sage, two of summer savory,
two of black pepper, two teaspoonsful
of saltpetre, pulverized or dissolved,
three quarters of a pound of sugar.
Stir until the seasoning is thoroughly
Incorporated with the meat; then pack
in deep earthen dishes, or tin pans. Set
away to cool. The next day or soon
after, warm lard so that it will spread
with case knife and make a coating
over the meat, and it will keep any
reasonable length of time fresh and
and sweet. Should you wish to pre-
serve any until warm weather, take fine
brown paper, cut little larger than the
surface of your dish, wet it one side
with the white of an egg, lay it on egg
side down pressing it gently with the
hand, letting the edge come over the
edge of the dish, which will soon adj
here and seclude all air. Keep it in a
cool, dry place. The flavor cannot be
surpassed. We have tried this mode and
known it it to be a good recipe.

Power of Memory.

DIR. johnson, it is said, never forgot
anything that he had seen, heard or
read. Burke, Clarendon, Gibbon,
Locke, Tillotsen, were all distinguished
for strength of memory. When allud-
ing to this subject, Sir William Hamil-
ton observes "For intellectual power
of the highest order, none were distin
guished above Grotius and Pascal, and
Grotius and Pascal forgot nothing they
ever read or thought. Leibnitz and
Euler were not less celebrated for their
intelligence than for their memory and
both could repeat the whole of the
'Eneid.' Donnellus knew the Corpus
Juris by heart and yet he was one of
the profoundest and most original spec
ulators in Jurisprudence. Ben johnson
tells us that he could repeat all that he
had ever written, and whole books that
he had read. Themistocles could call
by their names the twenty thousand
citizens of Athens. Cyrus is reported
to have known the name of every soldier
In his army. Hortensius, after Cicero
the greatest orator of Rome, after sit
ting whole day at public sale, cor
rectly enunciated from memory all the
things sold, their prices and the names
of their purchasers. Neibuhr, the his
torian, was not less distinguished for
his memory than for his acuteness. In
his youth he was employed in one OF the
public offices of Denmark. Part of
book of accounts having been destroyed
he restored it by an effort of memory.
