ChFistms his csme and gone. Tht
ysusg are scrry and those Of mature yearf
,Te glad. Il is a noticeable iact, that,
though people are glad to welcome in
Christina, and it's time-honored festivities,
they draw sigh of relief when it has
passed and the house can be gotten into its
former good shape. Fer the doctors. only,
it is FEAST and the groans and sweats Of
the sufferers, from too much turkey and
sweet meats, are as good music to his ears
as the Christmas chimes. The toy man
views the wreck of war in his line Of
goods, and pats his pocket with the most
approved satisfaction, while the candy
man is convinced that he has given
thousands Of throats sweet time, and the
turkey goes to roost with less trepidation
thai it will be his last night upon S
mundane sphere. |-'
Fruitless Christmas trees will form an
ornament Of the back yard, or serve as
fuel for the preparation Of some less
tempting meal than that which had been
taken beneath its bowers but few days be-
fore. The tinsel and decorations will fade
and tell of the joys that have gone. New
Year will be fondly looked for as a faint
repetition of the joys that have preceded
it, and after that will come the genuine
respite. Toys will find place among the
rubbish in the garret, the tin horns that
startled the ears of the nervous will be
the crowning features Of the ash
heap, and headless drums will
make impromtu foot balls for
boys Of kicking proclivities, and there
will spring up fresh crop Of bunged,
armless and legless dolls to be hauled OF
to the municipal ash heap by the garbage
carts.
Irritable fathers, when those days come
will be spared ruffled tempers, and moth
ers will be spared emphatic pronuncia-
tons upon finding sticky tendency from
candy smearing to every thing they lay
hold Of. The little ones will review the
past as a golden dream, and dream of
when it shall come again. Shop keepers
will recruit the depleted ranks of their
goods, and will sigh and think of the at
tendant troubles of Christmas, and vet,
how greatly it was relieved by many
pleasures Great annoyances as it brings,
here is yet a tinge Of gladness about it
hat none would forego. 1t is the time Of
merry making, that comes down from ira
iition, and that it has been kept up was
we'll attested by that which has just
passed, and left US as it were upon the
'ery eve Of the new year, and that the
people of Wilmington may live to sec
many happy returns of the same is the
ervent wish of THE MORNING HERALD.

The Republican papers are out in full
force stating that ex-Speaker Blaine kept
his seat when the Springer Third Term
resolution was sprung. Mr.. Blaine ad-

was an unpleasant situation for him to be
placed in, and, as he did not care to vote
upon it either way, he left the work for
the balance of the members to do.

The Blackberry Bona ANA.

Read the following account of
what the North Carolina black
berry pickers are doing this season:
An OLD FIELD BoNANzA.-Las
season there were shipped from Sa-
lem, North Carolina, to Chicago
and other points, over three mil
lions Of pounds Of dried blackber-
ries, for which the shippers re-
ceived an average Of fifteen cents
per pound, or nearly half million
of dollars-or to put it down to a
point that will make it apprecla-
bic, they receive for their black
berry crop as much as they would
have received for 5000 bales Of
cotton at fifteen cents per pound.
4 correspondent who has investi-
gated the condition OF this new
traffic, conveys the information
that this Is the third season the
Salemites have engaged in the
wholesale gathering of blackber-
ries. frequently whole families
turn cut in early dawn and pick
berries until dark. A bushel will
| yield twelve pounds of dried fruit;
at fifteen cents per pound this
will make the fruit worth $3.50
per bushel. 1t is estimated that
it costs two cents per pound to
dry the fruit, it being done in the
simplest manner by spreading up
on boards in the sun. Deduct
from the gross amount one cent
per pound for freight, two cents
for drying, and say two cents for
merchants profits, and it will be
seen that the berries will net the
pickers about ten cents per pound,
or 81 20 cents per bushel, while q
child can easily pick bushel per
day. 1t is stated that from the
entire State of North Carolina not
less than one and a halt million
dollars worth of dried berries were
shipped last year, while the orders
are largely in excess of the sup.
ply. They are also exported to
Germany in large quantities,
where they are great luxury
This year the crop promises an
enormous yield, and a more sys-
Itematic effort will be made to
gather it.

The Chicago Inter Ocean
says: Hundreds of children
have fallen victims to scarlet
fever in this city during the past
three months. Concerning the
treatment Of this disease, an
eminent physician says that he
does not fail in effecting a cure
more than once in a hundred
cases, by giving the patient
warm lemonade with gum ara
bic dissolved in it. A cloth
wrung out in hot water and laid
upon the stomach should be re-
newcd as rapidly as it becomes
cold. To this simple treatment
the most obstinate cases seldom
fail to succumb.

Sheep Did It.

A Maryland farmer who has
visited some of the best sheep
farms in England makes the fol-
lowing statement in the Mary
land Farmer:
"Within the last 10 months
4S ewes belonging to the estate
Aston Rowant have produced
295 lambs, all of which are still
living, or have been sold fat
Forty-four have each had three
pairs, and most of them in less
than II months. Two ewes
brought seven lambs each, viz {:
two, two days before Christmas,
1872; two in June, 1873, and
three in January, 1874. One
eve produced eight lambs with
in II months, and two Of the
lambs were sold at Go at Easter.
Yesterday the same eve had
four lambs, all Of which are
strong and healthy; the mother
is doing well and in good cOndi-
ton. Twenty one of the above
ewes are Dorset, and twenty
seven are either Hampshire
downs or half-breeds."
The above is taken from the
farm record of T. S. Jackson. -
The American visitor concludes
his report in these words:
"The estate of Aston Row
ant, it should be remarked, is
not one that is carried on for
mere profit. The lawn, shrub
berry, Conservatives and planta-
tions generally exhibit the ex-
quisite beauty with which
wealth and taste adorn so many
places in England. Regarding
them with intense qualification,
and thinking Of the immense a
mount Of money required to
keep up this display, | said to
my worthy and intelligent guide,
4 should like to know the pc
cuniary results of this style of
farming in your country He
replied, 'As you live in America,
/ will tell YOU what l do not
speak. in the neighborhood -
my balance sheet for last year
shows a clear profit of 81, 300
(S9,OOO),an he emphatically adj
ded, Sheep did it,

Dog Law and Taxes.

One of the good citizens of |
DeKalb county writes the fol-
lowing communication to the
Mder, full Of suggestive facts to
be considered by Tennesseeans,
saying:
We learn from the Tax Asses
sor Of this county that 700 dogs
have been killed to avoid taxa
ton, and $500 have been listed
for taxation. Thirty-two humid
red dogs for a population Of
10000! 1t cost this county
$4,000 to feed these dogs, and
not a tenth Of that is paid for
education. But if we are will
ing to pay $4,000 to feed dogs,
and nothing for mutton, wool
and education, who has a right
to complain? Down with dog
taxes and their authors. Let no
one modest our whelps in their
kennels, or dare to make them
afraid. This is an age of light
and knowledge, and the Bible
teaches us that the price of a
dog is an abominatiOn unto the
Lord. Tax our COWS; horses,
sheep, hogs, furniture, carriages,
jewelry, musical instruments,
our privileges, incomes,a land hou-
ses and lands, and even our
heads; but don't disturb our poo
dies. In the language of the po-
ct, we say:
Barney, let the dogs alone"
Just think Of taking taxes off
Of houses and lands, and our
heads, and putting it on dogs!
the rascality of such a proceed
ing is absolutely sublime. Muir
der, arson, robbery, theft and
rape, are insignificant when com:
pared with the dog tax infamy.
Tax every thing which minis
tiers to our comfort or to our lux
ury - every thing on the earth
and under the earth = but let
not the rude hand Of the Tax
Collector be laid Oh Tray, Fido,
or Blanche. Give us the asso-
citation of our dogs, wet or dry,
or give us death. Bring out a
loud howl from Carter to Shell
by, and let our solons take heed
aed govern themselves accor-
dinghy. Who cares for wool,
mutton, or education, and who
don't care for whelps? We
have made up our mind as to
him. SOLON.

The Greatest Crop in the
World.

The hay crop of the United
States for last year is reported
to be over q, 100000 tons cured.
This at $50 per ton is about
$540,000,000, and does not IN
clude what was eaten but not
cured. The live stock of the
United States was worth ST.
525,OOO,OO0. They had to get
their living out Of grass. The
value of animals slaughtered
for food that year was $309,000,-
OOO.. The butter crop was S5l4,-
100000. This all came from
grass. There were produced
235,OOO,0O0 gallons of milk,
worth $25,0O0,000. This, too,
came from grass. Next, 1OO,-
100000 pounds of wool, at $685.
100000. This got its living
from grass Next, 100000
pounds of cheese, worth $5,00O,-
600. Put all these items togeth-
er and the grass product Of
1874 of the United States was
no less than 81, 100000
The total value of all agricul.
tural products in the United
States was $2,447 ,538,658. Ii

the United States can pay OFT
