- Ma. INGRAM, Of the Tobacco Leaf,
asks all papers friendly to the Clarks-

to publish the following. As we are
friendly to the project, we take pleasure
in laying it before our readers:

we take this method of answering them
all.
Atpresent there is but one estab-
lishment in existence that makes Iron
Wagons, which is located at Danville,
H.. and has for its Territory the
states of Illinois and Missouri, aud is
selling wagons for $125 at the works,
but we learn from Mr.. Randle, one of
the mechanics, who has just arrived
from Danville for the purpose of assist
ing with the works here, that the COM
pany has no wagons on hand, aud are
far ahead with orders, and are now en-
gagged in putting in new machinery to
increase the facilities. .4
The works contemplated at Clarks-
vile, will not be in operation for sey-
eral months, and will not likely be
able to fill any orders out side Of the
local demand, or co-operators in start
ing the works, for two years or more.
and then the price will be Sl25 for
two horse iron wagon. Farmers, or
any person wanting for their own use,
one of these lifetime wagons, will get
it much sooner and cheaper by joining
our cooperative company, and paying
$l5 in advance-all who do this will
be entitled to purchase the wagon for
sll0, and will simply have to pay the
balance, $95-less the interest which
may accumulate on the SIS already
advanced. FHE -EfFt
The plan upon which we are manag-
ing this iron wagon business is the
grandest cooperative scheme yet de-
vised. 1t does not bear hard upon
any one, there is no risk and cannot
possibly be any failure or loss; all un-
derstand in the beginning what is to
bemanufactured, and how it is to be
managed and then it is certain to pay
every one from 80 to 100 per cent. on
the investment, while it stimulates en-
terprise, and encourages southern
manufacturing, besides saving farmers
the heavy expense, common in repairs
on old wagons, and the time lost in
procuring repairs.

tive company may signify it BY ad-

That Detroit Justice.

There is a justice in Detroit who
has made himself remarkable for the
impressive solemDity of the sentences
he passes upon prisoners. Here is the
Free Press report of one of the latest
cases in his court, man who was ar
rested for vagrancy:

around the wharves and gallop up and
down the alleys, eh p remarked his
Honor, as young man was rushed
out.

piled the prisoner, his hair climbing
up to perpendicular as 'Bijah' glared
down upon him. During the mOmen-
tary pause, a boy in the alley was
heard singing:
"Not shilling in my pocket
Pulling hard against the stream"
II can't help that you are dead
broke said the court. I'D be glad
everybody owned a silver mine and
two coach dogs. The officer says
you have been wandering aimleSsly
around, sleeping on bales of hay, tax
ing free lunches and making no effort
to amass fortune. You don't seem
to have any aim-any ambition"
Yes | have, replied the prisoner
-" Where is it, sir-where is it?

Did you ever hear of Cicero taking
free lunches? Did you ever read that
Plato gamboled through the alleys OF
Athens? Tell NE, sir, did you ever
hear any one say that Demosthenes
slept under coal shed or on bale of

there would be fire in your eye; your
hair would have an intellectual cut !;

Go W and look upon that land,
That far vast land that few behold,
And one behoiding understand
That old, old land which men call new
Go journey with the seasons through
Its wastes, and learn how hmitless-
The solemn silence of that plain
Is. oh /. so eloquent. The blue
A nd Bonded skies seem built for Ii,
And all else seems Yesterday,
An idle tale but lily told.
It's story of God alone,
For man has lived and gone away
And lefi but little heaps OF stone.
10! here youiearn how more than 1t
And dignified is silence. when
You hear the petty jeers of men.
Its awful solitudes remain
Thenceforth for aye q part OF you.
And You have learned your bitterness.
Some silent red men cross your track;
Some sun-taEned trappers come and go (;
some rolling seas OF buffalo
Break thunder Ike and far away
Against the foothills, breaking back
Like breakers OF some troubled bay;
Some white-tailed antelope blown by
So airy like; some foxes shy
And shadow like move 10 and fro
Like weavers' shuttles as you pass;
And now an then from out the grass
You lear some lone bird cluck, and call
A sharp, keen call for her lost brood,
=
Seem deeper still, and that is all.
That wide domain OF mysteries
And signs that men misunderstand;
Il land Of space and dreams; a land
of sc7-sait fskes and dried-up seas,
A land OF caves and caravans
And lonely wells and pools: a land
That hath lis purposes and plans, u
That seems 80 like dead Palestine. 81
Save that its wastes have no confine
Till pushed against the leveled skies;
a land from out whose depths shall rise
The new-fine prophets; the domain
From out whose awful depths shall come
All clad in skins. with dusty, feet.
A man fresh from his Makers hand, -
A singer singing oyersweet.
A cfarmer charming very wise;
And then all men shall not be dumb
Nay. not be dumb. for he shall say,
Take heed. for prepare the way
For weary feet :" and from this land
The Christ shall comewhen next the race
OF men shall look upon hts face.

See her pallid countenance, but short time
ago the picture of rudy health, the envy of
the school and the pride of the household. She
was always welcomed by her schoolmates, for
her 1.-THE form and pleasing disposition carried
cheerfulness into their ranks. Diligent, pune
tual and exemplary, obedient sand graceful at
home, she won the hearts of all. But, alas,
we are sorrowed. Those rosy cheeks and I'D
dy lips are blanched by consumption. The
voice, once SO enchanting In laugh and song,
is feeble, husky and supplanted by hollow
cough. Let us approach her couch gently
and take her hand. Do not shudder because
of the feeble and passionless grasp. The
hand once go hearty and plump is emaciated
and shows bOny outlines, while the cords and
tortuous veins are plainly mapped upon the
surface. The pulse that bounded with reple-
ton, carrying Vigor to the whole system, and
imparting life, beauty, vivacity, health and
strength, is delicate to the touch. The feeble
heart cannot propel the thin, scanty blood Win
force. Must we loso her while yet In her
teens? Companions and friends gather
around with words Of cheer and consolation,
and depart with moistened eyes and silent
steps, Must we lose her? No! there Is re-
lief! We can stay this destroyer of our hap
ninaaa aud not suffer the loss of SO bright
gem. Something more is required now than
dietary and hygienic observance, for nature
calls for aid and she shall have it. Take this
pleasant medicine. 1t is invigorating. How
it allays the irritable cough, improves the ap-
petite and digestion and sends a healthy tingle
through the frame. The blood is enriched,
nervous force increased, and the heart bounds
with a new impulse. See her face brighten by
by degrees; the color is returning, her voice
is getting clearer, and pleasant words are
spoken. The strength falters yet, but is gain
ing. Let us take her out in the warm sun
shine. In a short time she will be able to go
without our aid, cheerful girl. This delight
full medicine must be God-blessed. 1t is re-
storing health to our loved one. She is emery
ing from her sickness sweeter and nobler than
before, and DIR. Pierces Golden Medical Dis

Curing Clover Hax.

It is a widespread error that it is
difficult to cure clover hay. Like any
thing else that is carelessly and unskill-
fully done, it will be badly done but
with ordinary attention clover can be
cured as easily as any other hay. It
should be cut when heads CT greater
part of the field or patch are of brown
color. If the cutting is delayed until
the entire crop is brown, the parts that
ripened first will be too ripe.
Glover should never be "spread out
to cure" It should be left in the swath.
The less any hay is exposed to the sun
while curing the better it will be. The
sun extracts and dries up the juices and
succulence of the stalks which consti-
tute the value of hay.
When cut the clover should lie in the
swath until more than half the upper
part is sufficiently cured, which will be
The case in favorable weather in eight
or nine hours. When the upper part is
thus cured the swath should be turned
with hay forks bottom up, and allowed
to remain for five or six hours. when
that side will also be cured. Then the
swaths should be thrown together into
windrows-threes waths to a windrow-
and this being done, the operation of
hanling home the hay should be COM
menced at once. In the best clover re-
gions of our country, if the weather is
fine, clover is generally hauled home
the evening of the day it is cut, and
never allowed to remain out beyond the
following day. Cured thus, every part
of the clover, leaf, bloom and stalk, is
dried equally, the evaporation of mois-
ture has taken place gradually and reg
ularly, and all the nutritive juices of
the hay have been preserved, whereas if
the hay is exposed too long to the action
of the sun, the leaves and blooms are
dried to chip and nothing is left but
hard fibrous stalks.-COr. Southern

It was, indeed, melancholy picture
that was presented to the view of the
passengers of Mississippi steamer that
took a short cut across some Louisiana
plantations on the way down to New
Orleans. The flood had swept over
what few days before had been a cot
ton-feld, leaving only the tops of trees
above the water, near which could be
seen the chimney of house rising a
foot above the surface. On the top of
the smokeless fue was perched roos-
ter. His wings hung limp, his eyes
were half-closed and his majesty of de-
meanor was gone. He had given it up.
Whether he was the sole survivor he
did not explain. He did not seem to
care to be rescued, as he hoisted no sig
nal for relief, and the steamer, with a
parting cheer, left him alone III his
glory. as the sound reached him he
raised his off-wing to his eye, and waved
a sad farewell with his disengaged foot.
