MAUD S. IN JEROME William
H. Vanderbilt had his new purchase, the
famous four-yearold mare, Maud s., in
Jerome avenue on Saturday afternoon. She
was hitched with Cap ain Jack being driven
double for the first time. Mr.. Vanderbilt
was pushing them along at high rate of
speed, and was on the east side of the ave-
nue. coming down. When about mile
and half from Ormsby's, he met Henry
Smith, of Smith g. McNeil's Hotel who was
driving his black team at a good gait Mr..
Smith did not notice the approaching team
until they were almost on him, but he sue
ceeded in pulling his horses to he left and
escaped collision by the merest chance.
A rubber bit on one of the horses broi e,
and they ran away. He kept them in the
road, however, and so quieted them with
his voice that they stopped at Ormsby's.-

'La Favorita" was put on the boards at
the Grand Opera-house last night by the
Strakosch Opera Company The house was
filled to its utmost, and the piece was the
best rendered this week. The music was
indeed grand and elevating, and quite an
offset to that in Carmen the preceding
evening Miss Cary's 'Leonora" could not
have been given better, and Signor Panta-
eoni was grand. The production of the
whole bill in fact was as it should have
been, round, full and satisfying. The grace

The Course of Emigration.

The extraordinary emigration from
the north to the westward, especially to
Kansas, he's been lately subject Of re-
mark. Kansas papers represent that
settlers and colonies come in battalions.
The history Of emigration everywhere
shows that it moves in certain we'll
defined parallels of latitude. "Westward
the star of empire" has always moved
from the east, and it is in obedience to
this great law that Ohio, Indiana, Illi-
nois, Missouri, and now Kansas, with
Colorado, have received such vast Access
sions of population. At the same time
there are exceptions to this rule, as is
shown IN the case of Texas, which now
numbers population of two millions,
and to which almost every state and
even European countries have con-
tributed their quota. When the heritage
OF the west becomes short-cropped by the
multitude moving in that direction, the
living tide will be diverted in larger
stream from the north to the south.
There is alretdy considerable emigration
from the former to the latter section,
though not to be compared with the
food which is setting towards the west.

FARM AND HOME.
UnporfitabIe Cotton and Rice.

The Charleston News and Courier says
at is settled fact that the sea island
cotton and rice cannot be produced with
profit, at present prices, with our present
system of labor. An exceptionally good
planter, here and there, may continue to
succeed but the fact that three-fourths
of the sea island cotton lands and one
half of the rice lands under cultivation
in 1860 are now thrown cut, proves that
the average cannot make money. On
North Santee alone, as we are informed
only three rice plantations are now cult.
waited out of eighteen in 1860, and it was
shown in report made last summer to
the agricultural society that, in our four
coast counties, over four hundred thou>
sand acres of land have been thrown out
of cultivation since 1860. Are these lands
to remain idle, or shall we make an effort
to utilize them again ?" The News and
Courier urges planters in the low coun-
try to raise wheat, and instances proof to
show that that crop can be made very
profitable.

The Transit of Mercury.

A transit of Mercury will occur on the
9th of May, which is anticipated with
much interest in the astronomical world
It will be visible all ever the United
States, and will occupy about seven hours
and half in its passage. Transits OF
Mercury are much more frequent than
those of Venus, the average interval
being less than ten years. Thus the
coming transit will be followed by others
in 1881 and 1891, while after the transit
of Venus in 1882 none will occur until
1904. No previous transit of Mercury
has ever aroused the attention of observ-
ers like the one whose advent is so soon
anticipated, for it is hoped that it's observ-
alton will help in the solution of several
important problems. especially in deter.
mining the orbit of Mercury, in throw
ing more light on the question of an
intra- Mercurial planet, and in furnishing
data for renewed estimates OF the SUMS
distance. Astronomers are already
making preparations for the observation
of the phenomenon. Two French sciens
lists are now on their way to the west to
be in readiness for its advent. They are
sent out officially. One of them is NJ.
Charles Adre, professor in the ebserva-
tory in the university of Lyons, and the
other is NJ. Angot, professor of physics
at the Lyeee Fontanes in Paris. The
place of their destination is Ogden, Utah,
and the locality has been selected for two
seasons. It is or an elevated ground,
nearly on the "divide" of the continent,
very favorably situated for dryness of
climate and purity of atmosphere, and
the center of the transit will take place
nearly at local noon.
Mercury is too small to be seen By the
naked eye in its passage across the sun,
but unscientiic observers, who have
access to good telescopes, will have no
difficulty in detecting the presence of the
slow moving black spot on the face of the
great luminary, while they are willing to
leave the delicate observations and calcu.
lations to practical eyes and mathemati-
cal brains.

A Pack of Weasels Out Hunting.

Weasels frequently hunt in couples,
and sometimes more than two will work
together. We once saw five. and have
heard of eight. The five we saw were
working a sandy bank drilled with holes,
from which the rabbits in wild alarm
were darting in all directions. The
weasels raced from hole to hole and along
the sides of the bank exactly like pack
of hounds, and seemed intensely excited.
Their manner of hunting resembles the
motions Of ants; these insects run little
way very swiftly, then stop, turn to the
right or left, make slight detour, and
afterward On again in a stright line.
So the pack of weasels darted forward,
stopped, went from side to side, and
then on yard or two, and repeated the
process To zee their reddish heads
thrust for a moment from the holes, then
withdrawn to reappear at another, would
have been amusing had it not been for
the reflection that their frisky tricks
would aEsuredly end in death. They
ran their quarry out of the bank and into
the woods, where we lost sight of them.
The pack of eight were seen by a laberer
returning down a woodland lane from
work one afternoon. He told us he got
in the ditch, half from curiosity and half
from fear-laughable as it may senior
he had heard the old people tell stories
of them in their days when the corn was
kept for years in barns, and SO bred hun
dreds of rats, being attacked by those
vicious brutes. He said they made
noise, crying to each other in short,
sharp, snappy sounds; but the pack of
five we ourselves saw hunted in silence.

Easter Lilies.

Darlings of June and brides of summer sun.
Chill pipes the stormy wind, the skies are drear
Dull and despoiled the gardens every enc;
What do you here?
We looked to see your gracious blooms arise
Mid soft and wooing airs in gardens green,
Where venturesome brown bees and butterflies
Should hail you queen.
Here is no bee nor glancing butterfly;
They fled on rapid wings before the snow;
Your sister lilies laid them down to de-
Long, long ago.
And here amid the slowly dropping rain
We keep our E aster feast. with hearts whose care
Mars the high cadence of each lofty strain,
Each thankful prayer.
But not shadow dims your joyance sweet,
No baf1ea hope or memory darky clad;
You lay your wilderness at the Lords dear feet.
And are all glad.
Come with thy darkness to the healing light
Come with thy bitter. which shall be- made
sweet!
And Law thy soil beside the lilies white,
At Ills dear feet!

Hints for the Farmer,

MAKE your fences high and strong 81
they Will ke ep cattle and pigs out. I
you have crush make your lots strong
ana secu re and keep the hogs from thu
corn.
THEN rainy, bad weather comes, &c
gou can't work out Of doors, cut, spill
and pie your wood, make your racks, fl
your fences or gates, and patch the roo
of your barn or house.
VEGETATION purifes the air-frstly
because it absorbs carbonic acid; sec.
ondly, because under the influence oil
sunlight it exhales an equivalent in
oxygen; and, lastly, because it produces
ozone.
FEED your land before it gets poor.
Give it all the manure you can make
and haul, and it will enrich you. Starve
it by taxing off crops continually and re-
turning nothing and it will bankrupt
you. Feed the land literally and it will
feed and clothe you.
MANY farmers think it doesn't paw to
bother with much gardening but a good,
large garden, we'll planted and we'll
worked, will give liberal profit from
the sale of surplus vegetables, after sup
plying the home table the season through
with all the vegetables desired.
DO not allow ashes of any kind to be
. wasted. 1t will pay to haul leached
ashes several miles, when one has his
own team and a laborer at fair wages.
Goal ashes, when spread around berry
bushes of any sort, or around grape
vines, will aid materially in producing
large and fair fruit.
KEEP your stock constantly gaining in
flesh. Use the most unfaiiing vigilance
and diligence to secure this. The mo.
1nent they begin to 60 down-hill dollars
are running out of your pocket, even
though you don't feel. hear or see them,
and it costs much more to get them up
again than it does to keep them up if
properly attended to before they begin to
fail.
THE successful farmer is he who pro-
vides conveniences for the care of bis
property and the performance of his
worK; he counts time as an important
item in the yearly calculation, and care
ofall his various effects as factor in the
annual return. When he puts the horse
in the stable there is place for the har-
ness where it will be safe from weather
or any other damage; his wagons and
tools are provided with coverings to pre-
serve them about his premises will be
found little shop or room where he
keeps saws, hammers, vises, augers, and
the various tools that are needed to
mend and put in order the different ma
chimes he uses. These simple articles
prevent days and weeks Of delay, besides
adding to the length Of time implements
will last. 1t pays to have conveniences,
and also to get what you do buy of good
quality Lancaster Farmer.
