The Best Vegetables to Plant.

Scri6ner's Monthly is printing series
OF timely and practical papers in its
"Home and Society" department., en-
titled Rural Topics" by the we'll
known horticulturist, P. T.. Quinn.
The following is from the May number:
April and May are the two busy
months in q well-managed vegetable
garden. During these months, the
most important work of the season has
to be hurried through, for planting time
IS short, and there are many small mat
ters that need prompt attention. First
OF all is the selection of choice garden
seeds of recent growth, and such as will
be found true to name. The surest way
Is to select from each years crop few
OF the same to raise seed from. For the
rest, send to some responsible seed mer-
chant, and don't depend on the kind of
stock found in small boxes in the coun-
try grocery stores. AS q matter of re-
ference for those not familiar with the
best sort of vegetable seeds and plants,
L append the following list, naming two
or three kinds of each to select from.
Dwarf Beans. s.--Early Valentine and
Refugee.
Pole Beans.-Large White Lima and
horticultural Cranberry.
Beets--Dark Red Egyptian and Long
Smooth Blood.
Cabbage. Wakefield (early),
and Premium Flat Dutch and Drum

Celery.-Dwarf Incompatible and

Lettuce.-Curled Silesia and Butter.

and White Marrowfat.
Peppers. Squash and Bull
nose.
adishes.-Turhip Scarlet, Long
Scarlet. and White Spanish.
Squash. b.-Summer Crookneck, Boston
Marrow, and Hubbard.
In this brief list will be found the
leading kinds grown by market and
private gardeners near large cities.
With bush beans, peas, and radishes, it
is best to repeat the sowings every two
or three weeks, until the middle of June.
BY following this plan. fresh supply
OF these sorts will keep coming on for
table use until late in the season.

The Copper Product OF 1875.

Copper mining in Lake Superior has
proved to be profitable business. The
Northwestern Mining Journal pub
fishes list of assessments and dividends
from which it appears that SO, $40, 900
have been assessed, $18,07O, 900 have
been divided, and there is in the treasu-
ries of nine mines "a, ,668, 900. The total
profit. therefore, since 1874 has been
81, 1855, 900, if these figures are COM
plete. Mining in that region is however
in peculiar condition, for one mine, the
Calumet and Hecla, produced sc. 6 per
cent. of the copper mined in the district
in 1875. The total yield was IL, 800
tons, and the principal mines contributed
as follows: Calumet and Hecla, 86.6
per cent; Osceola, 4.8 per cent. Allou-
ez, 3.6 per cent; Franklin, 80 per
cent; Pewabic, 3 per cent. ; and At
lantic little less than one per cent. The
Importance of the Calumet and Hecla
mine may be seen from the following
figures of the English copper production
in 1874. Great Britain in that year
smelted from home ores 5,24O tons, and
from foreign ores 20, ,956 tons of copper.
The Calumet and Hecla therefore pro-
dnced twice as much as all the mines in
Great Britain together.

A Puzzled BOarder,

1t was late in the fall when ur GOOD
Mrs. Middlecrust went down to the mar
ket and selected tub of butter. She
always bought good butter. In fact, she
was determined that none of her board
ers should ever have just cause of COM
plant against the quality of her provi-
sions.
Madam" said the market man. "I
would advise you to secure two tubs of
that butter. I shall have none better,
and butter will be sure to rise in price
through the winter"
Mrs. Middlecrust bought two tubs,
and on her way home she bethoueht
herself how she could contrive to make
that butter last through to spring. All I
happy thought; she would toast the
bread for supper, and butter it herself.
Buttered toast was the thing.
Accordingly the good woman set out
upon her plan Of saving. For tea the
loaves were nicely and evenly sliced,
gently Drowned before the fire, and very
gently and carefully buttered. AS her
boarders took their seats, she fancied
that one or two of them were looking
for the butter, so she smilingly said:
have buttered the bread myself.
gentlemen. AS it was toasted, thought
it would be nicer so."
MIR. Nipkins, bald-headed bank
clerk, wearing spectacles, took slice of
the toasted bread, and examined it long
and critically.
"Mr. Nipkins, is anything the mat
ter with your bread9" asked the land
lady.
No, no-nothing is the matter with
the bread" And he turned it over and
submitted it to further examination.
Mr.. Nipkins," persisted the good
woman, growing red in the face, eff
nothing is the matter, why do you be-
have in that manner9 I like my board
ers to be frank with me-"
My dear Mrs. Middlecrust," replied
Mr: Nipkins, looking up serenely, "I
will be frank. When I was boy, if we
wished to express q state of extreme
mental obtuseness, we were wont to say
of the obtuse one, that g he didn't know
which side his bread was buttered on.
1 think I must be losing some of nv
perceptive faculties. I find no fault
with your provisions, dear madam; the
fault must be in me. I have lived and
eaten two .and-fifty years, and for the
first time in my life I find myself un-
able to decide on which side nv bread
is buttered."
Mrs. Middlecrust left her boarde-s to
butter their own bread after that.

From parties from Laurens county
we learn that on last Thursday night
a party Of unknown men took
out one Az.riah Butler, q negro
living in the tumbllng Shoals vicinity,
and shot him to death, several balls
having penetrated his body. He was
accused of the brutal assassination OF
John Kellct, and we also learn there
was strong evidence going to convict
him of this assassination, and we thus
it was this that led to the
execution of justice towards
him. Such occurrences are to be de-
ylored but here in South Carolina,
where law is made a mockery of, and
the temples of Justice are even held
open for the escape of such despera-
does as this man Butler is said to have
been, we can expect nothing else.
Chaos and anarchy will disappear
when the majesty of the law is fully
felt and vindicated. -GrcenuiWe NeWs.
