RAMA

Cullman on the South and North
Alabama railroad, is thelocality, and it
is thus described
1t is neat town with forty-five
houses, three schools aud churches, two
hotels, three stores, two sawmills and
one planingmill, with various kinds Of
shops and other conveniences. Besides
the dwellings now occupied, one hun
dred and sixty-two additional lots are
sold which must be improved within
six months two hundred families are
living around the town, and forty-two
thousand acres of land have been sold
to new settlers who will move in soon.
There are ten or twelve arrivals daily
and the whole colony is in a flourish
ing and prosperous condition. Wha,
will be the future of the colony no one
can tell but all of the colonists are de.
lighted with their new home, and are
using all their influence to induce 9th.
ers to come. We may reasonably ex.
pect that in few years all of the 3l5,
600 acres contracted for will be thick
ly settled with a sober, Industrious and
thriving German population.

The women's temperance leagues
of Ohio are on the right track. AT their
recent state convention a resolution
was adopted in favor Of the enforce
ment of the law, passed in Ohio some
twenty years since but now dead let
ter, providing for an inspector Of liq-
uors and the punishment Of their adul-
teration. To insist upon the vigorous
observance Of this law is one Of the
most effective temperance moves the
women can make and its success would
meet the approval of every one. The
most inveterste drinker could not object
il the law should intervene to provide
hm with pure in. tead Of impure liz
uors, and the dishonest adulterators of
wines aud liquors, the common enemies
of the temperance and anti temperance
parties, the men for whose Suppression
the law was framed, will be deferred
from publicly opposing it's recognition.

IAN old man, who gave his name

Ohio, lately went to the Sher-
wood house in Evansville, Ind,

for a.week. Events prove that
he went there to commit suicide.
He has been working hard to ac-
complish this last object of his
life, but has not yet succeeded.
A few mornings since he was
found lying in bed with his wrist
cut across, but he had failed to
strike the principal artery, and q
good deal of blood was left in.
him. He was able to tell that he
had previously taken two ounces
Of laudanum and quantity Of
arsenic, which failed to kill hinl-.
he did not know why. Then he
had gone to the<wharf forthe pur-
pose of taking a fatal plunge bath,
but there were SO many people
around that he Knew they would
drag him OUT so he did not go iii.
Then he thought thatilquietly;
bleeding to death il lis bed would
be nice, SO he tried that plan;
but the doctors say they will be. !.
able to Save him. He seems to
have a charmed life, and feeds on
poisons,. and they have no power.
In his bureau q package was1
found, containing some arsenic
which hR liz had fhiiooat taken. In the

't'..Can the watermelon be sue
c'essfnlly, cultivated on sandy:
soil, in a rural town of four
thousand inhabitants, and a
theological institute located
near by, containing one hun
dred and twenty students
studying for the ministry ?"
This question excited consider
able comment and loud discus
sion among the agriculturists
present lat the meeting of
"The Hayseeds'', in Cleveland,
and nearly ap hour and a. half
was spent in. discussing the
same. An old green-grocer
who had raised early and late
vegetables for twenty years Of
his earlier life, said he could
raise vegetables on top of a
barn, or on. a billiard-table,
even, let him pick his locality
and his neighbors. It was not
so much the soil, nor season,
that the melon depended upon
for its protection, as it was the
peculiar ties of the inhabitants
of the country ,thereabout.
/ Where there was an excess of
IIcolOred citizens it was almost
|iasimpossible TO raise a paying
crop of melons'as it was to keep
Ispring>chickens,,' unless they
roasted at night in a. Herring's
safe. 'Then, again colleges
have a bad effect upon The mel>
on crop, and even a ministers
family Of Seven Boys has been
known to blight a large patch
in a single night. In sections
of country where these draws
backs exist, the speaker had
learned'that the only method
to insure,a full crop of melons
was. to. station a man at eacf
! melon from the time it was the
size, of. a hens egg until q j
ripened.. This was expensive
but the result was ALWAYS graft
flying. AS the fruit grew il
size, and approached ripeness
'tlle speaker had sometime
i, fonn,i it necessary to station
,, two guards over each larg'
melon. and even then, in com
munities where a great fond
ness for these luscious product
q existed, he had known Of th

The empress of Germany
dresses very plainly. Her dry
goods bills are less than those
of the wives ofmerehant princes
of Berlin. The queen of Den
mark drives out in a calico
dress, and Princess Bismarck,
fresh and comeIy when past
sixty, superinteqds her farm
work, goes about the house
with a great bunch of keys at
her girdle, and her house is
filled with knitted quilts and
curtains, the evidences Of her
skill. and industry. Panic
never got his ugly nose into
her home. a9Gi: "a a2nGf
