MISCELLANY:

From the New York Commercial Advertised
John Davidson is an inveterate
wag. He was a mischievous young
ster, and is no betterin his old age.
The other afternoon, on his way
down street to business, he saw In |
front of "Jes" Smiths restaurant,
on Broadway, barrel of oysters.
A thought struck him. He knew
a friend, q banker, in Broad street,
who is passionately fond of bivalves,
and whom he informed, some days
previous, that Smith was going TO
receive some fine oysters. He stop
ned in to see Mr.. Smith:

"How SOP"
Empty the oysters, ill up the
barrel with bricks and sawdust, and
leave the rest to me"
Smith did as directed. He dump
ed the oysters and filed the barrel
with bricks and sawdust, and placed
the same on the sidewalk. Having
seen this done, Davidson dropped
in to see his broker friend in Broad
street, and said he would ride up
town with him that afternoon. On
the way up Davidson said:

"How so?"
"The barrel containing the oys-

'Jes out of his place and 60 up
Broadway to see Jim Creslin. As
soon as you see US turn into the Gil
sey House get a cart and take the
barrel to your house, where we viii
meet tonight and study shells"
"Glorious idea. I'll do it. sure

Davidson left and called OF
Smith. He took Smith by the arm
and walked up Broadway. C

rushed for cart. He got cart

"What have you there, dear?"
"Oysters, ducky; Patchogue oys

COMO, MISS.
The Crop Prospect Continues EncOur.
aEfnE-Farmers all Happy-FIOur
MiIIs-The Changers.

From an Occasional Correspondent
Como, June I8.-The past fortnight
has been exceedingly favorable for kill
ing grass, and mahy blade, detached
from mother earth, has withered be-
meath the blaze Of these bright June
days. Farmers are all happy and busy;
scarcely DO we see the bone and sineW
Of our country in the village, and but
| little occurs to disturb the mouOtOny Of
our life, save the whistle of trains as
they steam through the village, or the
clink Of the blacksmith's hammer as he
turns on the anvil the pl0wshare of some
sturdy lsbOreT, who stands ready to
seize the implement Of labOrious toll and
is soon hid beneath the luxuriant blades
of growing corn, "laying by,n that he
may give his cotton "a lift, from the
encrosching grass. Busy is the rule,
and contentment is the word. Wheat
has SUPPRESSED the expectations OF our
people, both in yield and quality. At
last the farmer has taken hold in the
right direction, in time, at least, to
save himself, il not the country.
What shall We do with our wheat? is
now the subject of earnest thought, and
on that point there is a diversity of
opinion, increased by the absence OF
mill facilities. The true interest OF the
farmer is best subserved by its retention
and consumption at home, which will
ere long be the case; but for the present
the larger part Of this crop will seek
market as an intermediate credit or
part purchaser, thereby protecting the
farmer from any serious sacrifice of his
cotton crop, enabling him to "even upn
in his account in Memphis and to sus-
tain and strengthen his credit with his
merchant. We hear that our neighbOT,
Senatobia, is to have a large Touring
mill, and our right arm, LongtoWn,
fourteen miles west Of Como, is cOntem-
plating the erection of another. Como
has had cotton on the brain so long that,
as yet, hid behind musty ledgers bal !
ancing fHncies, many business men as |
sert that this "spurt" on wheat will play
out, and cotton will again monopolize. |
God forbid. Patrons Of Husbandry, fal- !
ter not. Your march during the past |
two years has been q succession of tri- |
umphs, but the victory is not yet COM
plete. Stand to your posts, to your |
order and its noble principles; and soon |
the banner Of peace, that passeth all |
will be yours. The cOun- .
try is proud Of you. Your achievements .
are the theme Of national praise, and .
when the centennial OF our nations
birthday dawn let it be on people free
from debt and prosperous as only agri-
culture can make you. With a surplus
attained by true economy, you will fOs.
ter and sustain the schools which are
now "being reconstructed" in which
your children can be educated to sdOrn
heir position in life. Render your
nome beautiful and attractive by pleas
ant and intelligent associations, and
you will find your children settling
around the "old homestead" the sup
Dort and comfort OF your declining
years. T.

TALK WITH THE FARMERS.

The week Of wheat harvest in West
Tennessee is over, and a large amount
has been cut and put into shocks. In
acme instances they have commenced
Il reshing and separating, so as to get it
re ady for the market. 1t will bring
far price, and the sooner it is sold the
better, because it will not then be in
ju1ed by the weavil. To let it remain
IN the fields without having it threshed
would be ruinous policy. The weather
has been good and the crops Of corn and
cotton are generally in fine order, leav-
il g the farmers ample time to attend to
their wheat. In this connection we
would say not only save your wheat,
but take care Of your wheat-strsw; it is
good for so many things and should be
p! SERVED. If tine weather is seAsouable
SC " German millet, and that will furnish
y,u abundant pTOyender during next
winter. Let US never again have stock,
ard especially work-stOck in such a con-
Gi.ioD as they were last winter and
~ ring. Much more would have been
made by the farmers II their stock had
been in good order. Prepare in time
10 prevent such thing in the future,
ard TO do It, SOW German millet now,
aid wheat, rye, oats and barley early in
tie fall. Make all the cotton you can
by preparing your land well and cult
waiting it in the proper manner. Neg
lect none Of your crops. What you
plant cultivate well, whether it be grain,
corn or cotton. Cotton is the staple or
export crop OF this country, and should
bc cultivated to perfection; but the other
cops necessary TO life should not be neg
lected. With the bitter experience Of
last year il is TO be hoped that such J
state Of things will be guarded against |
IN future. Deep, thorough blowing in
The fall and early spring will enable |
farmers in West Tennessee to make fair
crops, whether the season be wet or dry.
Let il be done, and we will hear very
little hereafter shout crop failures.

STATE CREDIT.

A tax OF forty cents will, il continued
8 few years on our increasing taxable
wealth, be sufficient to protect our State
credit, to pay the interest upon our
q, bt, ard eventually to pay the princi-
pal Of the debt. Our last legislature sus-
p,nded the collection Of taxes, and in
tbs did right, but they failed to make
2ly reasonable arrangement to provide
Tor the July and January interest. They
ri ould at lesst have authorized the gov
sInor to make an arrangement with the
bondholder, giving the State further
time in which to pay it. II the State
ST Guild be discredited as she will be, the
fault lies with the legislature. Certain
parties, taking advantage Of the errors
OF the legislature, have perhaps succeed
a. in temporarily discrediting the State
&c further their own schemes, but such
men must receive the loathing and
Scyra OF all who love the State and feel
~ y pride in her character, We will at
sCme future time show that 8 tax Of
70 ~ cents, continued for a series Of
y,srs, will be ample to meet all the liza
b.ities Of the State, making, as we have
light TO do, q reasonable estimate for
the increased wealth Of the State.

Nineteen Million short.

WASHINGTON, June 16-Affairs have
now reached a point when it is possible
to approximate with some degree Of eX-
actness to the work of the United States
treasury during the fiscal year to end on
the thiTtieth day Of this month. The
secretary of the treasury estimated that
the receipts foI the fiscal year would be
S2o4, 900, 900, and tue expenditures $685.
OOO, 200, leaving s., 900, 900 to give to the
credit Of the sinking-fund. 1t is now
evident that the total receipts for the
year will not exceed S265, 900, 600, thus
creating deficiency Of some S19, 900, 900
OF over, and the revenue and customs
receipts may continue to fall off between
TINS time and the thirtieth, SO that the
above estimate may not be reached.
This deficiency would not have occurred
had the new tariff bill met the expecta-
tions Of the secretary. or course it must
that deficiency. oven If
it were 500, 000, 600, would not stop the
payment OF any debt of the govern
ment. 1t simply mesns that while the
secretary OF the treasury has plenty of
money for every purpose, he has been
obliged, through the appropriations and
laws Of congress, and the
bad condition Of business throughout
the country, 70 spend more money this
year than he received.
