congress of the most experienced

the purpose of suggesting some reme-

Cheese Making in the south.

Until recently the South has given
little attention in general way, to
the production of articles of regular
consumption,i beyond the few leading
staples, cotton, sugar, rice, etc., which
are sent abroad in exchange for the,
products of other sections ofthe coun-
try, many of which, as is being more
and more shown, could be grown at
home to better advantage The old
system ofnegro labor had much to do
in tconfining the productions of the
soil TO such articles as were
within the management OF that class
Of lab0rers.. The Introduction Il of
northern labor saving machinery and
and methods are making
rapid changes and while in years past =
the southern people have taxed them,
selves with transportation expensesA
on articles which could be grown at
home relatively at less cost, these in
consistencies are being recognized and
corrected. aesr = E.ta .8Hoqdi 9a3 bo3e
/; Among other evidences of this, pro-,
gress at the South, may be noticed the
Increasing interest manifested in
cheese, making, particularly in East
ernn Tennessee and Western q North
Carolina. There are four cheese fac
tories in Westcan North Carolina
which viii this year turn ont about
100000 pounds of Jcheese-ro great
things fer the northern dairy districts,
but of much Importance in that coun-
ry. This cheese sells for ,15 cents a
pound net, and that made at Elk
Mountain has been pronounced equal
in quality to the best Herkimer eoun-d
ty product. Dairy apd wool-growing
are well adapted TO many portions Of
the Southern States, and appear to be
growing in ifavor.-C Cincinnati Price

Giving Presents.

Under this caption the st. Louis

remarks, from which we clip the fol-

g The essence of Che present tconsists
in the sentiment of the thing; and as
all sentiments seem out of date, IL is
rot wonderful that presents haye near
tly become obsolete. A birthday pre-
sent or q Christmas or New Years gift,
once the earliest and pleasantest thing
in the world, must now be quite a
costly article of 6jouterie, the worth
of which can be reckone1 in dollars.
The articles in Uegtu, cups and spoons,
nice little puzzles for the littleo ones,
the cunning invention of some kind
old uncle Or aunt, are given with
grudging groans, because they are a
thing OF course, and therefore do not
rebound to the glory of the giver uflL

expensive, Even bridal gifts are bot

they are to be exhibited, ticketed with

the heart is out of the question. The
exactiOns of Eastern despots, the
shawls, the, horses, the jewelry, arms,
and precious gems, w hich are offered
with outward smiles and secret curses,
merit as well the name of presents-
GoThe old keepsake !" is a most ex-
pressiHe ferm-1genuine Saxon, and
untranslatable. No French substitute
of "sopcenir,n /. gage" or any other
word which has taken its place in
modern days, is worth half SO much.
The broken ring, the bent dime-the

a worth that no money value can give.

We do not desire to be understood
as wishing to limit the name of pres

We larea only protesting against thei
vulgar error; that cost constitutes the
worth, of such things. There is q
feei1ng that would consecrate the gift
of an estate to a friend. and a perfect
sympathy and confidence which would
make it proper, to accept sueh gift.l
We should be far from denying to
the wealthy one of the purest and best
pleasures of large possessions = the
power of giving freely to those they
love, forTthe simple qualification of
doing so. without further, thought; Or

teens with praise Of these artists.
The Wilksbarre TmeS says: A large au.
dience assembled last evening, TO witness
the performance oil Mr.. Stoddsrt, the
great comedian from Wallsck's Theatre,
New York. The first piece was acted In
0 manner well calculated to bring great
praise upon Mir. Stoddart and his sup
porters. In the second play entitled =" A
Struggle for Lite" the acting was superb,
and Mr.. Stoddart in the character Of
Moneypenuy Iexcelled anything Of the
kind ever before seen on the stage In this
city. The telegraph scene was very fine,
and one could almost imagine oneself In
the Office Of the Western Union Company
The Easton, (Pennsylvania) Express
also notes:
Mr.. Stoddart Is well known here as an
actor OF sterling merit. Many Of our citi
Zens recollect him whilst q member Of
Lester Wallack's great company, where
his drolleries and comicalities were re.
ceived nightly with peal alter peal Oh
heartfelt applause. m
The Syracuse, N. Y, Courier says: sit
Is one OF the best companies that has ever
visited this city, and Is well worthy Of the
patronage 1t is receiving"
The Auburn, N. Y, advertiser has most
favorably noticed Mr.. Stoddarrs pertor-
nance OF Moneypenny, as follows: "Mr
Stoddart, In the character Of Moneypen'
ny, tho nervous and determined lawyer
has gained an enviable reputation. His
rendition Of Moneypenny was one OF the
finest pieces Of character acting we have
ever had the pleasure Of witnessing, and
the close attention Of the audience was
rlyited on his every word and acti on.
In his interview with Jane Leroyd q,
his house, he fairly excelled himself He
Exhibited an almost marvellous control Of
every conceivable manner OF expressing
and communicating ideas TO his listeners,
and under his wonderful manipulation
Moneypenny becomes an actual perso-
mage. Stoddart Is as amusing as he is
pathetic, and the audience were lrequent.
ly compelled to laugh through their tears
Our citizens will no doubt avail them
selves Of the opportunity OF enjoying the
performances Of this troupe.
