EDITORIAL OPINIONS. An advertise
ment is as a genera rule, an elaborate
eulogium on the merits of something
which the advertiser desila to sell.
The editors and publishers Of the paper
in which it appears are not responsible
for its statements. Sometimes, how
ever, highly important discoveries or
inventions, announced to The world
through the business department of the
press, seem to demand a few words of
editorial commentator. We have no
hesitation in saying that the excellent
medicine introduced by DR.. Joseph
Walker of California, under the name
Of VINEGAR BITTERs, belong to this
category, and has q just claim to a
favorable notice. There can be no
doubt as to its utility as % tonic, stom-
achic and Alternative. W. are cognizant
of many instances in which it has cured
cases of chronic dyspepsia, supposed to
be i~ncurable, and know that the estima-
ton in which it is held rs a remedy for
bilious and nervous disorders, intermit-
tent and remittent fevers, rheumatism
and general debility, is founded on ex-
perience and well deserved. The testi-
mony of "a cloud Of witnesses" goes to
show that it is eminently useful in a
large majority Of the disorders to which
the human family are subject. The fact
that it contains no alcohol oommends it
to the confidence of that large and in
creasing class OF the community who
insist that all s%pirituous stimulants are
active poisons,

the liberal clergyman, "from the pence.

nothing could be further from the fact.
To live is to contend. Each plant

~seyerest landscape, the %stillest wood

INFLUENCE OF FooD UpoN POULTRY
AND EGGS. There is no better fattenino
material for poultry than corn meal,
especially if mixed with milk and we
notice that it has come to be used large
ly in some Of the poultry yards of
France, When insects are not procura-
bic, animal food in some form is desira-
bic, and here again we see that although
poultry deyours the flesh of the dead
horses which have been Stayed in France,
it has been found to impart a disagreed
bic taste to the fowls so fed. Fowls.
like hogs, are supposed to be universal
scavengers ; but, as with hogs, neither
DELEGATE nor healthy flesh can he made
from them if fed upon garbage. Great
care should be exercised in the matter.
for the influence of the food upon the
quality, not only Of the meat, but of the
eggs, has, in too many cases, not been
duly appreciated.

What Buttons Have Done.

@NA@H
The Round Table tells us what but
IONS have done
We must go back nearly forty years.
Then all buttons used by Americans
we're imported; but a shrevd Yankee
I9jy, the young wife of d man in hum
hle circumstances, was seized with the
s3ea OF manufacturing buttons at home
nd by hand She picked some import
ed buttons in pieces, and was satifed
that with wooden molds she could pro-
1uee buttons that would find as good a
market as the imported ones. Her idea
vas seconded by her husband. who was
a thrifty farmer in country village in
Western Massachusetts,. A few buttons
we're made and were sold. The same
hand made more, and found 81 ready
market. Little by little. month after
month, the idea grew until the persist
elt wife had more than she could do
herself, and laborers were employed to
assist IN the manufacture. The hus-
bnnd, finding himself outdoue. sban-
doned farming and devoted his energies
10 the ne" business, Machinery was
devised to accelerate matters. A facto-
~ was built. The enterprise grew with
amazing proportions Other factories
went mp, Avi.lage clustered around
inc button enterprise. Wealth flowed
la upon the proprietor. Factories were
o'ult for making sIspenders, for max
ing nala rubber webbing, and factories
Tor cotton spinning. With every year
'le project grew apaca until the propri-
e.oF could be named among the mil
I~lonalres.

manufacture seminary was establish

CROPS.

ThomasyaIle Enterprise !: Nothing
favorable from the cotton crop. On
the contrary, the news grows worse.
The alternate showers and sunshine
augment the shedding, tho rust con-
tinues to spread the caterpillar is
on the increase, and the boil worm
has commenced operations IN some
localities. With all these to contend
with, we think it safe to say that
there will be little more maturing of
young fruit, and, as a consequence,
the crop will fall far short Of what
was expected few weeks ago.
This is melancholy thought, for, in
this county at least, much depends
on the present cotton crop--more,
perhaps, than any previous year
and nothing short Of a good yield
and fair prices can shield the farm,
ers, as class, from serious embar>
rassment.

EXCITING SCENE IN A MENAGERIE.
At Mansfield, Ohio, terrible scene
occurred last Friday night, during
the exhibition of circus and men,
agerie. Thomas McCune, while in
toxicated, thrust his arm through the
bars of the lions cage, and one Of the
animals seized him by the wrist,
dragging him off his feet bringing
his body against the bars. The
keeper struck the beast several
blows with a heavy loaded cane, and
succeeded in getting the man re-
leased from his perilous position. --
The audience were wild with excite
mens, and a panic was imminent
The mans wrist was completely
bitten through and terribly lacers-
ted.

MARCH OF THE CATERPILLAR.

The worm has about cleaned GU
all the cotton fields between Mont
gomery and Columbus.
The intelligence reaches the Cen.
trial City from the lower part Of
Dougherty that the caterpillar is des-
troying the cotton at a fearful rate.
Some Of the planters in that section
have whole fields where the cotton
is entirely stripped of its leaves
The boil worm has also made its APP
pearance, and there is much anxiety
felt in regard to the results. Cotton
picking has commenced in earnest.
EuTAw, ALABAMA, Aug. Is, 1873.
The caterpillars are now reported
quite general in the prairie planta-
tions, though only in spots. The
crops on these lands have put on but
very little fruit up to this time, and
will doubtless DO ruined by the worm.
The sandy land crops are generally
good, and few reports OF the worm in
them. The crop already made on
these is probably equal to the entire
crop Of last year on the same land.
The iIsyneville (Ala.,) Chronicle
says: Caterpiilars are swarming in
the fields. Within the last three or
four days they have come in count
less myriads. Many planters are as
tonished at the sudden appearance
they have made, and many fields
win be devoured before poison can
be applied. As an instance of the
amazing rapidity with which the YER
min have appeared, the garden Of
Major Beasley, Of Haynevilie, may
be cited. There were fifteen hills of
cotton hourishing in the garden, from
which he picked all tho worms, thirty
IN number, Monday evening. Tues.
day he got about one hundred; Wed.
nesday five hundred and thirty -four !;
and Thursday he gathered about
three hundred, only to find them as
numerous as ever when he returned
in the evening. The fields are ami
mate with the destroying kest. The
planters are dismayed at the prospect,
though they are showering poison
upon them in deadly clouds. Over
nearly all rank and well grown cot.
ton Ia I4owndes county there is des-
perate grsppie between the planters
and the vermin.
