The new Archbishop Baylcy talk

The new Archbishop Baylcy talks
thus mapfully CA real inspection
of liquors would destroy two.thirds Of
our intemperance. Any real good
government should enforce such an
inspection, or stop the sale altogether
because the object of government is
to protect the lives Of citizens, and
whilo it ensorces stringent laws
against the sale Of decayed vegetables
it is far moro important that it ia
should hiador the sale of drinks which
poison tho blood and madden tho
brain.

How an Eccentric VcrmOntCr was Barred

An exceedingly eccentric man has
just died at FIinesbu1g, w., in the
per$cn Of Augustus hMcEwcn, aged
eishty-four. lie had his grave dug
twenty years ago and stoned up and
filed with earth that it might be in
perfect condition whenever needed
Last fall he had the earth taken out
of it, saying he expected to be laid
there before winter was over. His
coffin was in readiness seven years
ago, and so arranged that he could
lie on his side with his knees drawn
up, as he said he slept in this condi-
ton in life, and wanted to sleep SO in
death. A II his plans for the funeral
were made in advance, AID among
tho rest he selected fosr coloTed boys
who had worked for him more or less,
as had their fAtLer before them, as
rull hearers. they were to carry the
body to til. grave. which was on his
farm, lorcr it to its last resting:place,
fiji thr grave with earth, and then
waH back to the house, where they
we're to find each letter sealed and
directed to them, in which was tho
money to pay for this lass service
which he had required Of them. His
friends took good care to carry out
his peculiar wishes. - Springfield

! but went to the plank road, where !
learned that General l'jll hnd ais
been wounded. there, moreover,
learned from Col. ID. Barry, thc,
Major Of the E,ghteeuth North Caro-
Ina regiment, that he knew nothing
of Generals jackson and Hill having
! gone to tho front that he could no,
tell friend from foe in such a woocs !:
that when the skirmish line fired
there was heard Gathering of ap-
proa ching horscmen and the cry Of
cavalry, and that he not only heard
his men to fire but that lie pronounced
the subsequent cry of friends TO be u
lie, and that his men continued to fire
upon the app, oaching party. 1t was
generally understood that the
Eighteenth regiment not only wound
ed Generals jackson and Hill but
killed some Of the couriers and per-
haps some Of their staff officers,
as some Of them were missing.
Colonel Barry, who was one of my
bravcst and most accomplished officers,
always thought that Generals Jackson
and Hill were both wounded by bis
command.
After the wounding Of these two
generals, General IIeth assumed com.

we clpturcd few prisoners and the

McGowan's brigade then prolonged
our right, and we rested on our arms
until the next morning.
On the morning of the 81 VIC we're
ordered 60 make a direct attack upon
the encmy's works, which we're COM
posed of logs hastily thrown together
tho night previous, in our front and
on the slope of the hill faciug The
Charlottesville hill. We carried the
works, but could not hold them on
account of the concentrated, murder
Gus artillery fire from the Chancel-

threw forward fresh Infantry. The

{ Cu.tNrc Of the Irish Potato.

| MIR. EpIToR. Why is it that a
far larger portion of tho Iii,h pota.
toes eaten or usoh FIR seed by us is
raised at the North and imported
here. than that which we produce
ourselvss2 1t is true, strange as it

son of II is that we do not raise as
go,d potatoes us our Northern neigh.
hois. Now, if you ask me why this is
the Irish potato (5olanum Tnbero.
sum- being OF Southern origin-f
will answer that in my opiuiun it is
because we try to raise .hc potato in
our warm climate in the, same way
that the Northern people raise it in
their cooler and moislcr climate.
Wo can raiss. just as good early pota-
! toes as at the North, but when they
should be fully matured and be most
dry and mealy, they ere inclined to
become sobby and watery, when cul-
tivated after the Northern fashion.

Of planting Irish potatoes in our lati.

using plenty of it, and the deeper l
cover the seed the more abundant tho
yield. ] plant from Dec. until March.
| break the potato land as deep as I
can, manure it we'll, not too heavily,
with well-rotted stable manure or
cotton seed, open burrows four or FIVE
inches deep, two feet apart, fill the
burrows nearly full of cotton seed, and
then plant the sets on the manure,
eats&de down, about ten inches or a
foot arart. | cut my seed week or
ten days before planting. When tho
sets are planted the furrows should
be covered with earth, forming a ridge
over the seed, and then 1 cover the
whole with straw of any Aind-pine
straw is as good as ny-and as deep
ly as I can afford. The advanssge
Of this mode of culture is that the
straw is Nea'on down by the rain,
moisture is kept up near the soil, the
temperature is oven, the potato is
kept cool, and thus acquires that dry,
mealy quality which is 80 desirable.
No matter how deeply you may strcw
the straw be sure that the tops will
make their way through it in search
of light, and the potatoes will form
and mature as high as the. moisture
~c~ohue.
Another great advantage Of this
mode Of culture is that there is no
need for ANY further labor-no plow-
ing, hoeing or cultivating AL that is to
be done after planting lie gathering the
crop, after which I have always found
to be more abundant and of better
quality in this way than in any other.

the docket cannot be finished up more rap
idly. Several bench warrants have been is-

EUREKA.-Siuce the advent Of Jess Holmes,
the fool killer, no greater benefactor TO the
huDan race has appeared before the world
thsn the individual mentioned below, and
the local of this paper is made supremeiy
happy il the knowledge Of the discovery
made. UnstruDS nerves, which have al
wsys been his dread, can now be tuned; dis
cord will give place to harmony; frettul por-
cupines will lay their quills; subscribers will
not grumble when dunned; the red cross
mark will not provoke maledictions; and a
man Of nerves, having nothing to make him
afraid, will be able to go in and out among
his fellows. Oh! happy day! This is what
is said about it:
The Orchestra says: can interesting dis
covery has, it is stated, been made by an
Italian. He has hi. upon o method by which
nerves may be timed like harp strings and
brought into harmony with each other His
theory is that nervous systems, like musical
instruments, are all liable to change of tone,
and this change is of little importance if all
the nerves change together, as by attention
to diet and temperature the evil may be cor
rected en- masse; but when, owing TO acci-
dent or uneven wear, the general harmony
of the nerves is destroyed, disconnected
action is the result, and special mode Of
treatment is required. Of which he processes
to possess the key. He calls himself nerve
tuner and contracts to keep nerves in order
by the month OF year. There seems to be
no reason why people should not take les
sons in nerve tuning and like violin per-
formers, acquire themselves the tuning art.
Some nerves, like fddles, want tuning each
time they are used, aud if every man and
woman could screw up his or her nerve
fbfes as they become relaxed the world would
be saved vast amount Of trouble; for it can
not be denied that the principal sufferers
from nervous disorders are not those who
Immediately labor under them, but their
friends and ecquaintances."
