j ute.

Some time since a communication
appeared in our columns, from plan
ter in this County, in regard to the
cultivation of Jute as a substitute for
cotton, the writer stating that he was
then making experiments with the
plant, and had some thriving speci-
mems Of the same growing. We have
heard nothing more from that quarter
however. In late issue of the
Charleston Negs d Courier appears
some interesting remarks on the sub
ject, predicated on an article prepared
for the next number of the Rural
Carolinian, the advanced sheets of
which were furnished the first named
paper. It is certainly an interesting
and important subject, and one which
should claim attention. and if ii eau
be successfully raised in the interior
Of the State as well as on the Islands
of the Coast, its culture will open up
new prospect to the farmer. We
deem the article of the Neacs and
Courier sufficiently interesting to copy
it entire:
"The writer notes the fact that the
crop of sea island cotton grown in
this State, which, before the war.
averaged twenty-five thousand bags
per annum, has dwindled down to six
thousand bags for the past year, and
the plantations which before the war
were among the most valuable in the
State, are now almost unsaleable !;
while planters and factors have been
sinking money every year since the
war in their efforts to keep alive a
dying industry. The causes which
have led to the present state Of affairs
are too we'll known to all interested to
need discussion, but they are still in
force, and while they continue we can
not look for any revival. 1t is there
fore urged that the planters Of our
seaboard should look at once for some
ether product that can be cultivated
on these lands to advantage, and, if
necessary, take the place Of cotton.
Rice, indigo, cotton, each III its turn
has been brought from the East In
dies, and found suited to our soil and
and climate and added to the resources
of the State. There is still fourth
product of the same country which
has grown into great importance with
in the last fifteen years, and which
seems we'll adapted to supply our pres
ent want. aud should it be found to
grow we'll here, it will repay the plan
ter we'll for the loss Of all the others.
! This is Jute, which is now exported

Room at the Top.

1t was Horace Greeley who said
that "there is room plenty at the top
Allusion was made to the avocations
of life. The bottom Of the ladder Is
crowded and all the intermediate Way
from bottom to top is more or less
full, but beyond and on top there's
plenty of room. How true, and more
especially as to professions. How
large the crowd which make the start,
and how few arrive at any emiuence.
The reason for this is plain. the large
majority mistake their calling, and
instead of filing useful positions as
farmers, mechanics or laborers, miser-
ably fail as lawyers, doctors, preachers
and counter-jumpers. The failures arc
legion, and society in consequence is
overrun with non-workers and noD-
producers. The widest field, and
which lies the most invitiugly open,
is that of agriculture, and its skillful
and scientific pursuit promises the
largest yield. But it is a lamentable
fact that the majority of the young
men of the country who have been
bred on the farm fly it from and seek
their destiny III the professions, many
being Influenced by fathers who are
fred with the ambition of seeing their
sons great lawyers with large incomes.
Alas, that it is so. The country loses,
fertile lands lie waste, and all branches
more or less suffer because the young
men, who should be rightly engaged,
are vainly endeavoring to reach pros
perity in mistaken channels. Our ad-
vice to young men is to stick to the
farm, study the soil and the science of
planting, and success is sure to follow.
There are already enough makeshifts
and failures in the professions. The
busy, consuming world wants workers,
and men who by industry, perse-
verance and intelligence can win their
way to the top.

Keely, of motor fame, looms up
again in the letter of correspondent
Of the New York World, describing a
visit to the remarkable man and the
appearance of his workshop. It was
strewn with broken models and pieces
of machinery twisted as though a
Titan had played with them. Being
asked what forces curled up iron in
this way, Keely recited the familiar
phrases, t'latent power in water"
multiplication of force" " generation
of vapor"-leaving the questioner ex-
actly as wise as he started. The
chiefly interesting part Of the letter is
a passage concerning some bits of de-
scription not previously made public.
Keely is forty-ive years old. From
his early boybood he has had an affinity
for mechanics. At twelve he made a
steam engine; at fourteen he made
another; then became a clerk in a
drug store, then locomotive engineer,
and then a gymnast. He has been
blown into the water from steamboat,
has made two balloon aseensions, lived
out West in Minnesota, has been a
rover, troubadour, restless seeker
after something new and strange.
With his friends he displays his spirits
like fawn. He will toss cigar to
the ceiling and catch the right end in
his teeth, fling across the yard weight
that would break the backs of three
ordinary men, vault fence, create a
devil in his own workshop, and tran
quilly toy with him while confuting
and amazing with an iron logic the
opinions Of grey-headcd engineer
who has dropped in to make fun Of
the motor. He is, in fact, a queer
fellow. He may be the greatest dis
cover or the greatest crackbrain of the
time.

How THE North CAROLINA Con-
vENT1oN WAS ORGANIZED.-The c
North Carolina Constitutional Conven
vention balloted thirteen times for
president without effecting an election,
the vote being within one Of tie be.
tween DR.. Ransom, Democrat, and
Judge Dockery. Republican, while
one scattering vote, cast by an inde'
pendeut, made a perfect deadlock.
When the fourteenth ballot was called
for DR.. Ransom arose and said:
"This balloting has gone on long
enough. I have not sought this posi-
tion I do not desire it; [ have cast
my vote twice to defeat myself; but
the people seem to desire that this con-
vention shall be organized. I have
made every effort to effect compro'
mise =; failing in this [ now cast my
vote, let the consequences be what
they will, for Edward Ransom, Of Tyrel]
County, as president of this conVen-
ton"
The ballot was announced-Ransom
so, Dockery So, Durham l, so the
deadlock was ended by DR.. Ransom
voting for himself, Doekery voting for
Durham.

A. Won STEINwEHR, A. NJ, author of "The
Eclectic Series OF School Biographies, - "To-

scnts in readily accessible shape the results
of the late census, and whatever is Of value
from hundreds Of geographical, statistical
and descriptive works. 1t represents the
labor of years on the part Of the author and

50 largely from Fast India, both to
England and this country. 1t is used
in the manufacture of bagging for
cotton and grain, and is also mixed
with wool, fax and cotton; in numerous
other articles. The importance to
which the trade has grown may be
Judged Of from the fact that the i'm
ports into the ETrited States since
january |, and the stock aAoat up to
date of Jute and Jute butts, amounts
to two hundred and forty-four thous-
and bales, aud the stock on hand Jan
uary was scventy-6ve thousand bales,
making a supply for the past Ell ght
mouths of three hundred and nine
teen thousand bales.
;'its advantages as crop for our
impoverished planters are as follows:
The small cost of cultivation, it be-
ing Only necessary to prepare the land
well as for wheat or any other small
grain, when it is sown broadcast and
LEFT till ready for cutting.
"The short time required to make
the crop. Sown in April, it is cut in
July: or if sown in May, cut in
August.
No loss from stealing, as it would
be v:lueleSs to the thief.
;Its freedom from all attacks Of cater.
pillars or any other insect. 1t is even
said to protect cotton fields from cater
pillars, if sowu around them.
Its yield in fibre is from one thous,
and to four thousand pounds per acre,
and its value from three to six cents
gold, according to the quality; while
on the rich lands of our truck farms.
if sowu ia June, when the potato
crop is taken out, it would doubtless
yield much more, perhaps as high as
five to six thousand pounds, and prove
more profitable as summer crop thar
