Tobacco in the narrens

J. NJ. Carsey, tobacco and cotton mer-
chant of Nashville, says the Germans of
Lawrence county, raise on their barren
farms as fine, if not the finest tobacco
that is shipped to him. People in the
barrens would do well to think of this,
and raise some tobacco in connection
with peanuts, and then they will have
two strings to their bow, Tobacco is
less huctuating than peanuts.

A report reaches US that a strange ex-
plosion took place recently in Lewis
county, on M. Hines place, and near

powder had been exploded under it.
Mr.. Hines was witness to similar ex-
plosion at the same place in 1860 Our

Bound for Bon Aqua.

On last Wednesday NIGHT week, two
of our young gentlemen, about the
hour Of midnight, might have been seen
seated ia an express wagon behind
a donkey" bound for Bon Aqua.
They returned the same way, last Mon
day afternoon. Judging from their re-
port, they had a splendid time. After
a long, lonesome and dark ride, they
reached the springs carly Thursday
morning, lafteT getting lost two or three
times.D The grand hop" came oil FRI

The Young Mems Literary Society
and Lyceum and Benevolent AssOcIa~
ton gave public dinner and barbecue,
near Zion Church., on last Saturday.
The crowd was estimated at from 800
to 1000. It was a grand gala day for
the cOlOred people. There were eight
companies Of the society, and one of the
Sisters of Charity, and the Ark Valley
and New Salem Sunday Schools. The
services were opened with prayer, and
then several speeches were made. Ma
nasSas Armstrong was chief marshal of
the day, and led off in a beautiful, hifa-
lutin' and entertaining speech. Then a
short essay was read by 5. Il. Watkins.
After him, an elegant speaker, the
grand cyciops or grand mOgul, in TACT,
the grand gyTascutus of the occasion,
mounted the rOstTum, and after Squar-
ing himself and surveying the i'm
mense audience, as il to catch his breath,
and to take in the whole audience, for
the terrible onslaught, he commenced
like pouring bot sOap-suds down a rat
hole He spoke substantially as follows:
"E-e-l-l-O-W -CSi-t-i-Z-e-n-S, and ladies
! and gentIemen:-I come before you to-
dav rather Unexpectedly, as | was not
aware that | was expected to make a
speech tor this occasion, until this mo-
ment. ] am glad to see so many OF you
assembled together. ! have always

when l was quite an infant, and was
put to nurse to negro wench; from her

sible to take a microscope and detect a

( God, and the same Jesus Christ that
( died for me died for you; my heaven
/ will be your heaven or my damnatiOn
and he'll will be your damnatiOn and
/ hell" 1t is unnecessary to report any
more, as the whole speech was in this
! strain. He ripped and snOrted and ca
| vorted; now elevating his voice to the
/ highest pitch, and then lowering it to q
I whisper. He charged and tore around
I on the stage like young mustang colt;
1 in fact, it was feared that the platform
would not hold him. He spoke only
/ about one end half hours, and says
/ that he could have spoken three, but
| was afraid that he was mOnOpOlizing

| had missed his calling; that he should
/ have been a preacher or lawyer; such
/ talent for eloquence and oratOry should
not be abused; he should cultivate bis
! talent, and let his clarion VOise be heard
/ whenever opportunity presents itself.

"Gen. " Gordon has left the scene of his
late exploits between Bear and Ruther-
ford creeks, and gone to Lincoln county.
He told Mr.. Ben Caldwell that he would
be back in two weeks; but the neighbOrs
think that he will never return again.
Indeed, the neighhOrS are unanimous in
their opinion of the General" and that
opinion is by no means very fattering
to him. Several months ago Gen"
Gordon came to Mr.. Caldwell's place,
claiming to be a geOlOgist and mineralO-
gist, and announced that the hill near
The residence contained coal. Mr.. Cold
well and his sons are honest and indus
triOuS and good citizens. Surprising
that Gordon was what he protested to be
an experienced miner, they Went to
work and spent considerable money and
a deal of precious time and hard labor,
in diggiD = for the coal that was suppOs~
ed to be under the hill. 1t is said that
all but Billy neglected their crops in
their anxiety TO find the coal. When
Gordon left he told them that they we're
now in 1.-THE CROWN" which enCir-
cled the coal-bed. Sam Daimwood
caught the "Generar' very nicely thus:
He told Gordon that he was a soldier,
retreating along the Chattanooga rail-
road near RinggOld, Ga, he cane across a
celebrated watering place called Cor
dOn's Springs" did he know anything
about il? With pOmpous dignity, the
General" slapped his hand across his
breast and replied: "That was your
humble servants place, sir" then turns
ing to Mr. Caldwell, heremarked: That
is the place / told you OF; ] have been
offered So coo for it, Now, Sam Daim-
wood knew that the property he had de-
scribed belonged to the lamented Wash
Gordon, Ofthis county, and he set the
trap Just to catch the cOal~digging "Gen-
eral'' in big lie. 1t is said that Cor
dOn's son, who lives i'll Lincoln county,
says that his father is deranged, and has
been for years engaged in getting peo-

INFLUENCE or FORESTS on RAISFAII--The ques-
ton as to the influence exercised upon the amount
of rainfall throughout tho year by the presence or
absence of forests. IL beginning to excite much at
tentOn, and numerous communications on the sub
ject make their appearance the scientific journals.
NJ. Lemoine in paper read before the British Asso-
ciation remarks that the existence Of any influence
In the basin of the Seine it has been shown that for
ess, az compared with soil coated with grass have
no peculiar influence upon the water courses. The
real function of forests in his opinion. consists in
their protection Of the soil by preventing the earth
from being carried away and in their retarding the
flow of torrent waters. In fact, in the Alps, the
presence of forests prevents the formation of tor
rents and the replantng of woods extinguishes tor
rents already existing although. in many cases,
merely turing the soil produces the same effect
In illustration of the influence OF vegetation in re-
tarding evaporation from the soil, experiment
was adduced which consisted in sinking two cylin-
dIcal Jars of the same size into tho ground to the
depth of four inches leaving them projecting one
inch above the surface. One of these was placed in
Il newly-cleared plot, and the other where it was
partially bat not completely protected by the bushes
The same amount of water was placed in each jar,
and at the expiration Of five days it found that
the evaporation from the jar III the open grounds had
been more than twice that from the one which was
covered.
