A Twelve Pound Nugget.

When California was first settled the
precious metal was frequently found in
nuggets. These were called "lumps
10y miners, and whenever one was found
lthe lucky mans name was soon made
known and the less fortunate ones would
hasten TO his shanty, either TO congratu
lat, and get sight of the nugget; or en-
desvo. TO get him to sell q part of the
claim. or offer to help him to work it on
ithe shares.
! A miner who with his wife, had long
been located in these regions, and not
being very successful, was once preseu ID
by his wife with bouncing baby, weigh
ling twelve pounds. Some mischievous
fellow started tie story that Jim Mars
den had taken out twelve pound lump.
This intelligence which was circulated
about two weeks after the event, caused
great excitement, for many believed the
story; and two strangers called IN at
Marsden's house for the double purpose
Of seeing the lump, and In hopes OF eff
'lfecting bargaip with Marsden. They
reached the house, but Mrs. Marsden
only was at home. when the following
dialogue ensuea:

'lplled she. seeing that tie gentlemen

1t SO happens that every twen-
ty-eight years the 4th of March,
the day fixed for the inaugera-
ton of the President, falls on
Sunday. This occurs next year
for the fourth time in the history
Of our nation, and following the
precedent established by three
of his predecessors, the new Pres
ident will take the oath of Office
on Monday, the 9th of March.
The first Inauguration or the
9th of March was that of George
Washington on entering upon
his second term. The next time
the 4th of March fell upon Sum-
day was in 1921, when James
Monroe was the President elect
tor the second time, and be, too,
was inaugurated on Monday,
March 5. The third occurrence
Of this kind was in 1849, when
Zachary Taylor was inaugurated
on Monday, the 9th of March.
After next year Inauguration
day will not fall on Sunday
again until 19O5.-[N. Y. Sun.

Manufactures and Agriculture.

From the Rural Sum-
The introduction of manu-
facturies into agricultural com
munities brings together the es-.
sential elements of wealth-pro>
ducing enterprise, establishing
the shortest circuit of commune
cation, an all>direct market for
all farm products. This is in
accordance, not only with the
laws of political economy, but
with the higher order whereby
nature conducts the commerce
Of the material world.
The farmer and manufactures
each have needs which the other
supplies; and to bring the two in
such close connection that ex>
changes may be made with the
least possible cost, is q saving
that must commend itself to the
dullest minds. IF our cotton
can be bartered for cloth made
within sight of the field where
it grew, that is plainly a great
deal better than sending the
same cotton TO Liverpool to pay
for fabrics woven at Manchester.
The factory adds value TO the
farm by affording a home mark
ct. A home market saves the
charges, risks and waste of long
carriage, the profits of interven-
ing middlemen, and interest on
delayed returns, and also gives
market value to products that
would not pay the cost of trans
portation. But better still, a
home market is a sure market,
little subject to the fluctuations
ola foreign trade. Regular home
consumption sieadies prices,
drives ont speculation and gives
to intelligent forethonglta sound
basis for calculation, Manufac.
lures and agriculture should &C
hand in hand, and then the
South, with all its advantages
will be independent and pros
porous.

Cost of Fences.

We find by compilation of re-
ports to the Department of Ag-
riculture, that the cash value of
the annual farm products of the
United States is over 50, 45O, OOO,-
900, while the value of all the
live stock, including horses,
mules, cattle, sheep, hogs, was
on the first day of February,
1872, s1,659, 211, 1888, or about
$500, 100000 less than the value
of the annual farm products.
To protect this S2,45O, 100000
worth ofgrowing crops from be-
ing destroyed by the 1,959,211,
933 worth of live stock, we have
built 1919, 1919, 428 rods of fence,
inclosing 25O,5O5,614 acres Of
ground with an average of GAG
rods per acre, making a total
cost of 81, AIS, 529,185 or about
S89,317,192 above the value of
all the live stock. The annual
decay and cost of repairs cannot
be less than ten per cent of the
original cost of fence, or $174,-
S52, 918; interest at seven per
cent per annum, $124,319,S11 !;
total annual cost 1929, 172, 729.-
But this is not all. A fence oc-
cupies and wastes an average of
one half rod wide, or one acre
for every fifty enclosed, making
a total for all the fences of 3d.
101, 1923 acres. The gross pro-
ceeds, per acre, for the cultivat-
ed grounds in the United States
for the year 1861, amounted to
S9.78. Call it 50 per acre, and
taking two-thirds as the cost of
cultivation, we have three dol
lars as the net proceeds per
acre, which would show an an
nual loss of $3.50, 3O3, 800, which
added to the annual cost to set
tie up and develop the country,
and who have the heaviest bur-
dens of taxes to to expend
more than all the stock in the
country is worth to fence in their
crops, and give free range to the
stock owners, who need not own
or improve, or pay taxes upon a
single acre. But people are be-
ginning to believe that when
they have bought a piece ofland,
and paid for it, and pay taxes
upon it, they ought to own the
land, the crops growing thereon
and be protected in their rights
to do with it as they please, pro.
viding that nothing which they
do, or grow, or keep, shall in
terfere with the right of others.

It would seem as if the cure for those
worst Of small nuisances, colds in the
head, which DR.. Terrier, of Kings
College, suggested in the Lancet of this
day fortnight april 81, might prove to be
a'remedy of very great value. 1t is a snuff
"a white powder,-composed of the fol-
lowing ingredients ;-Hydroehlorate of
morphia, two grains !; acacia-powder, two
draehms ; trisnitrate of bismuth, six
drachms,-the whole making up a quanti-
ty of powder of which from one quarter to
one-half may be safely taken, if necessary,
in the course Of t%Wenty-four hours. DR..
Terrier says that with this snuff he has
twice cured himself of very violent colds,
once indeed by taking trisnitrate of bis
muth alone, which is a very powerful
remedy for catarrh of the mucous mem
brane and is the most important ingre'
dent 10 this snuff. DR.. Ferrier mentions
two other persons who were cured OF
violent colds by the same snuff, and to
these instances we may add that OF the
present writer, who, having a very violent
cold coming on, with the sensation OF
weight in the temples, and the usual dis
agreeable feeling in the throat, as well as
ordinary catarrh, made trial of DR..
Terriers remedy one evening, and got up
on the following morning completely free
from cold, which has not since REQUIRED.
