Agricultural.

INSECT rRFMEpIFs.-Many of our agri-
cultural and horticultural papers pub
lish receipts for the destruction of the
insects which infest house and garden
plants, but often do it in so loose way
that the amateur is in great danger OF
doing more harm than good in carrying
them into practice. In his little book
on Window Gardening, the editor of
the Ec t:culturist thus gives the result
of some experience in this line:
Years ago, when We had charge of a
small conservatory, we tried the effect
of sulphur on hot Goals to clear the In
tested plants. Every insect succumbed
before its direful fumes so did also
the plants: hardly leaf remained on
the stems the following day. and the
sere leafess branches spoke to me in
terms of sad reproach through their
mute lips. 1 was then tyro in the
business, and greatly desired to have
everything done thOrOughiy.
Thus learned that there is no teacher
like experience, his school is hard one,
he is a stern disciplinarian, but when
his lessons are once learned they are
not forgotten, but are indelibly printed
upon the pages of memory. Again i
tried tobacco tea, and in it stepped each
treasured Rose, each loved Fuchsia, and
they looked so worn and weary after IT
that took heart sick with my efforts in
their behalf Since then / have been
shy of trying such experiments. and con-
tent myself with hand brushing and
washing, but still more with the daily
care, the constant loving attention,
which is much the surest and safest for
flowers.
For red spiders Mr.. Williams recon-
mends the use of common red pepper.
One person should hold the plant up
side down, while another dusts on the
pepper from the common pepper castor.
Care must be taken that none of the
pepper falls on the earth in which the
plant is growing. 1t should be thor
oughly busted upon the under side of
the leaves dip once or twice in clear
milk-warm water to remove the pepper,
but do not allow the plant to remain in
the water, nor dip too many without
changing the water.

CRANBERRIEs.-The consumption of
this fruit is extending rapidly into all
parts of the world; it is becoming more
and more a household necessity. No
tea-table is now considered complete
without it, and on ship voyage it is of
almost indispensable utility. New Jer-
sey raises the largest bulk of cranberries
IN this country, employing about six
thousand acres for the purpose, the
value OF the crop raised on which, last
year, was $500, 600. The whole cram
berry crop of the country is estimated
at about 81 100000 Massachusetts,
raises not less than ten thousand barrels
year. Within the past five years Wis
consin has made rapid progress in the
culture of the cranberry, and the crop
IN that State tins season is estimated at
$500, ZOO. The average price per barrel
of this fruit is so, Cape Cod cranberries
commanding the highest price. The
fruit raised on the cape is the best of
its kind in the world. 1t is exported
Largely TO England, and finds its way to
he Queens dinner table.
Those who have spots usually regarded
as waste places on their farms, places
too wet to plough or to NOV, may, by
proper management, have their cram
berry patch, and grow for home con-
sumption and for market. Let such
wastes be utilized by growing cram
berries.
We quote the above from Working
People, rot only for the information
which it contains, but also to direct the
attention of our readers to the fact OF
the statement that the value of the cram
berry crop on 600 acres was only 5000, 900
or 500 per acre. Many of our cores
pondents have very exaggerated ideas
of the profits of this crop, and will
hardly believe us when we say that we
think this to be a fair average for the
tChOLe crop.

DR. BCHKNCKS 8 STANDARD REMEDIES.
The standard remedies for all diseases
OF the Lungs are SoHENcK's g PUnMoN1c
SYRUP. ScHKNcK's SEA WEED ToN1o aud
ScHENcK's MANDRAKE Pills; and, il
taken before the lungs are destroyed, q
speedy cure is effected. To these three
medicines. DR.. J. n. Schenck, OF Phila-
delphia. owes his unrivaled success in
the trentment OF pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the NOR
bid matter in the lungs; nature throws
1t of by IN easy expectoration; for when
the phlegm or matter Is ripe, slight
cough will throw it off, the patient has
rest, and the lungs begin to heal.
TO enable the Pulmonio Syrup to do
this, Sohenck's Mandrake Pills and
Schenok's Sea Weed Tonic must be
freely used, to cleanse the stomach and
liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills oct on
the liver, removing oil distractions, re-
lax the gall bladder, the bile starts
freely, and the liver is soon relieved,
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle
stimulant and Alternative. The alkali OF
which it is composed mixes with the
food aud prevents souring. It assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach
to healthy condition, so that the food
and the Polmonic Syrup will make good
blood; then the lungs heal, and the pa-
tient will surely get we'll, ii care is taken
to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. Schenck,

I was boy. The natural resources OF
the South are equal to those of nny por.
tion Of the globe. while the climate is
unsurpassed. just one product of tho
soil (cottop) the past year, will yield
nearly $500. 600. 900, and the day is not
far distant when the production of cot.
ton in the Southern States will amount
to l0.000,00 bales, and our sons will
live to see more cotton manufactured
into yarns and cloth in the Southern
States than is now consumed in North
America. The mineral resources of the
Sonth, especially in coal and iron ore,
startle the imagination, while her forests
will equal those of all Europe. For
our cotton, rice and sugar estates, there
is no labor equal to that OF the freed
men. Why should they not cooperate

The CONTEMPT CAsE.-The case OF
the State rs. w. G. Kennedy. for con-
tempt. was taken up yesterday, in the
Court of Common Pleas. now in session,
Judge Carpenter presiding. The an
aver to the rule and the amended an
swer were read by Mr.. T. 3. Fraser
Mr.. james S. G. Richardson followed in
on elaborate and learned argument. in
which he showed that the respondent
cannot be punished i'll this proceeding,
because it would violate The provisions
Of the Constitution 10 relation 10 the
liberty OF the press aud trial by jury. It
is equally forbidden by the provisions
securing to every citizen the rights of
personal freedom md private property.
Aud more especially is it forbidden by
the spirit of that rule of the common
law which declares that no ,uan shall lie
Judge in his own cause-a rule which
is so sacred that Lord Coke afirms that
even an Act OF Parliament to make one
Judge IN his own case would be void.
DEATH OF Coz THOMAS DAv1s.-We
regret to learn that Col. Thomas Davis,
long and favorabiy known in this com.
mnni.y, died last Saturday in tho city
OF Philadelphia, where he has resided
for the lust two years in Lunatio Asy-
lum. Mr.. Davis was a native of Kent
County. England, bat from early man
hood has lived in Columbia, where he
accumulated handsome fortune by his
industries and skill as an artisan and
contractor. After retiring from active
business Of this sort, he purchased q
valuable river plantation on the Con.
garee, and engaged in extensive i'm
provements of tie manufacture and
drainage. stock rearing, &c. Since the
war he withdrew his attention from
planting aud built the Columbia Hotel.
The troubles which he had sustained
and the losses he had met affected his
spirits and impaired his judgment. The
mental infirmity at last became chronic
and fixed, and his friends removed him
to hospital for the insane, where he
received the best and most considerate
treatment. But no change for the bet
ter ensued. He has succnmbed to the
last enemy in about the SEVENTEEN year
OF his age, respected by his friends and
sincerely mourned by his family.

troubles Among.t Enalis,, Luborers.

Over 1000 of the tillers of the soil
Of the Eastern Counties Of England are
now on q strike. This labor revolt
originated about the fret Of March ct
the small village Of E1ning, near New.
market, and has since extended over the
greater part of the Counties Of Suffolk
and East Cambridgeshire. They were
receiving thirteen shillipgs week, but
in consequence of the high price Of
provisions, they asked for nm additional
shilling. They were told by the mas.
ters that they could not get it, and that
they would be "locked OUT" that is, de-
prived OF work altogether, unless they
abandoned their membership in the Ma
tional Agricultural Laborers' Union.
This they refused to do, because they
regarded the Union as their friend, as
but for it they would now be working
for ten shillings week. In conse-
quence, they were ''looked out" sure
enough. The expectations of tho farm
ers we're, that they would break up tho
association by throwing more idle men
on its hands than it could support.
But, unexpectedly. the trades unions OF
the towns rallied to the support Of their
agricultural brothers, and contributed
the sum of nine shillings week for
their support. This is short rations,
but they manage to subsist on it, while
in this struggle for the vindication of
their rights. And they are oomforted
by the sympathy and aid of their fellow
toilers. although following different pur-
suits. Further, they have leaders to con-
duct the movement, and from the Bishop
OF Manchester has gone forth letter of
earnest remonstrance against the mad
ness and folly of trying to keep men in
so wretched state. "They may" he
says. ''drive their best laborers to the
other side OF the Atlantic or into some
new field of employment; but
will they have conquered?"
This state of things makes q grave
question for the consideration of the
English government. As the New York
Herald, from which We get these facts.
says. the Prime Minister must see, and
no one with clearer eyes, that the whole
English system is based on an insecure
foundation, when a conflict like this can
take place in the heart OF England. o.
the one side We see manhood and mi.
sery; on the other wealth. rank and
power. The contest between such con.
tending elements can have but one
issue. 1t must be on the side of tho
rights and liberties of the people.

and that "the celebrated Sc. cigars far

a certain "Traveler," correspondent OF

eating the assets and Liabilities of his
Excsilenoy Gov. F. J. Moses, Jr., has
found where he owes the 'Indian Girl

The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Ne,0s and Courier, under date
of April 80. writes as follows:
There is nothing specially new or in-
teresting here in relation to the South
Carolina interest. The majority report
OF the SUBJ judiciary Committee has gone
to the printer, and will go back to tue
committee for review by the minority
members, with view to minority re-
port. This report will be prepared with
some care, under tho immediate super
vision OF Mr.. Eldridge. A prominent
member of the Senate judiciary Com
mittee has taken warm interest in the
subject OF South Carolina affairs and
will tnke curly occasion to ventilate the
conduct of the State officers on the
Senate floor. So out of the memorial
will quite surely grow a discussion in
Congress, which cannot but call the Mt
tention OF the country to serious con-
sideration OF the question, "Where is
the South drifting to under the recon.
struction given them by Copgross?"

daughters. He buys clothing for
them by the wholesale. Thus,
when last in Columbus he bought
80 yards of calico, 100 of lawn, Is
corsets, 20 pairs of shoes, and other
goods in proportion. Unlike many
fathers who have only one dau ghter,
he paid cash for all his purchases.
Though an old man, he has never
bought bushel of corn or pound
of meat, but raises them himself.
