Oats, Peas and Cotton. in Rotation

For the several years that have now
been planting oats Cthe red rust proof
on an extensive scale, have found that
it is a we'll paying crop and from the
experience and observation which /

of oats produce about one Thousand

only argument that can be used against
large engines is that they are hard on
tracks, but, as the Pennsylvania rail
road company has adopted steel rails
able to withstand far greater pressure
than iron rails-the wear will not be
material. The introduction of these
mammoth engines is considered very
economical measure by the railroad
company.

will allow the existence of such hos
pital, as it has lately convicted a mem
berof this peculiar sect of manslaughte1
seeing that his invalid child died be-
cause of his refusal to employ doctor !;
but should such o hospital come into
practical working it would be exactly
the opportunity for the application of
the celebrated "prayer gauge" It will
be remembered that some time ago
Prof. TyndalI set the teeth of the re-
ligious world on edge by proposing to
examine the truth of the doctrine of the
physical efficacy of prayer by setting
aside a ward in some hospital, the in
mates of which should be prayed for,
and if larger number of them recov-
cred than in the unimprecated wards
the efficacy of prayer should be acknowI-
edged. The hospital of the Peculiar
People would be crucial test in this
matter, and, as no physicians may enter
it, it Will afford more remarkable proof
on the religious side than Prof. Tyn-
dall's plan could have afforded, since
according to that the patients prayed
for were to have the benefit of medical
aid the same as those unprayed for.

suggestive relic of the colonial days, in
the mace used by the sergeant alarms
of the provincial senate on great &C.

note thus speaks of it: "This mace is
now the only remnant of official royalty
among us. Lord William Campbell
would have taken it with him when he
took the great seal Of the province, but
it was fortunately beyond his control.
1t is made of silver, gilded over win
gold, and it is said to have cost Gwo
hundred guineas. 1t is about fon feet
long, and of considerable weight being
surmounted with the crown and great
seal of England, around the verge of
which are the two faces of the provincial
seal of South Carolina, highly engrossed
and other ornamental devices. This
mace was mislaid for many years, but
was discovered in one of the banks at
Philadelphia, where it had been lodged
for safe keeping, and is now at the sec
retary's Office at Columbia, in South
Carolina.

IT WAS an ancient custom OF the
Spartans, in order to inculcate among
their youth an adherence of intemper-
ance and its kindred vices, to make
their slaves drunk with wine in the pub

generation, upon whom would some
day devolve the honor and safety OF the
Lacedemonian Republic, might see be-
fore them all the CHASTITY details OF the
drunkard's disgrace, his loss of reason,
and of physical strength. "Twere well,
perhaps, to day, could some of our
young men contemplate a similar in
structive lesson drawn from the life,

A Remarkable Professional Success.

Among the notable professional men of
this country who have achieved cXtraordi-
nary success is DIR. K. V. Pierce, of Buffalo,
y. Y. The prominence which he has attained
has been reached through strictly legitimate
means, and, SO far, therefore, he deserves
the cnviahle reputation which he enjoys.
This large measure of success is the result
of 4 thorough and careful preparation for
his calling, and extensive reading during Il
long and unusually large practice, which
have enabled him To gain high commcnda-
ton, even from his professional brethren.
Dcyoting his attention 10 certain spcCialtics
Of the science he has SO carefully invcsti-
gated, he has been rewarded in remarkable
degree. In these spccialtics he has become
Il recognized leader. Not a few of the rene
dies prescribed by him have, it is said, been
adopted and prescribed 10y physicians in
their private practice. His pamphlets and
larger works have been received as useful
contributions to medical knowledge. He
has recently added another, and perhaps
more important, work, because Of more gen
cral application, to the list Of his published
writings. This book, entitled "Thc Peoples
