The Southern Frvtne.pan

Charleston Is. CO. Ne,os and Courier: And
the southerner is worse even than his Yankee
neighbor. One of the latter charitably re-
marked, soon after the war, that a people
whose diet consisted almost wholly of fried
hog. and fried greens, and fried eggs, and
fried potatoes, and fried chicken, and fried
bread, and fried everything, could not in jus
tice be held strictly accountable for the war
of the rebellion-and he said true. The
writer of this holds in vivid remembrance the
experiences of a prolonged tour through two
or three Of the gulf States since the war, in
the course of which he laid up store of dys-
pepsia which he has never quite exhausted,
and never will, in all probability, this side of
the frying pan which should mark his last
resting place. One instance will suffice, and
alb tcnO disco OnlneS. At beautiful country
house where he staid for one night, and
where he was entertained by real southern
gentleman of the old school, and who was a
literary man withal, and where the hospita-
bic table was surrounded by fair and be-
witchiDg girls (they 'eere little sallowJ,
there appeared on that lordly table at supper,
a mighty dish of sliced dried beef which had
been fried into a semblance of leather, but
which was partaken of without hesitation by
all those who sat with him at table And as
it this, even this, were not enough, the fried
leather was hauked by another dish of fried
greens, Hot biscuits, thick and heavy, also
played a prominent part, and-but we for
bear. There is no use IN arguing against
such prejudices and practices as this-tbe ar
gument has been exhausted, and the frying
pan has come off conqueror every time.
Southern brains have been fried to such an
extent that neither fork nor argument can
penetrate them, and it is useless to say more.

How to Learn to Swim.

Every boy and girl should learn to swim.
A writer In the american AgFicultuTlalist Of
fers the following suggestions, by obedience
to which the art of swimming may be readily
acquired:
means of a swimming board. This is the
safest method possible. If corks are used
they may slip from around the breast down
beneath the bJdy, throwing the head below
the surface, and putting the wearer in dam
ger OF drowning.
Some country boys get two bladders and
then tie them together with short cord, and
use these as supporters. They are the most
dangerous things possible for boy to have.
The board Is perfectly safe, and one may
learn to SWIM IN very short time by using
one. 1t should be over four feet long, over a
foot wide and two inches thick, white pine or
cedar
10 use it, boy wades into the water up
to his shoulders, then taking hold of the end
OF the board he pushes it before him-to-
ward the bank, and not into deeper water
springs forward with his feet and throws
himself fat upon the water.
This movement carries him along a few
feet. He then draws up both his legs at the
same time, keeping the knees as far apart
as possible, and then strikes out with both
feet, not straight backward, but sideways,
just as frog does.
The stroke is made slowly and is repeated
again, drawing up the legs slowly and stead
lily. The board keeps the head above water.
When the leg stroke has been. learned one
hand is taken from the board and the stroke
learned, or the chin may be rested on the
board, while the stroke is taken with both
hands.
This is very good plan, as. it compels the
swimmer to keep his hands under the water,
which he should always do. By-andby the
board may be pushed ahead and the young
swimmer may swim after it, always keeping
it within reach. When a number of boys go
to swim they should always have two or three
OF these boards with them for use in case of
any accident

Egyptian Cotton.

New Orleans Picayi.,is; For some time
past DR.. Armand Mercier, president and the
members of the Louisiana Athenaum, have
made strenuous efforts to introduce in the
south the Egyptian ''Bamlah'' cotton. Last
year a correspondence with Judge Morgan,
now in Egypt, was entered into. Judge Nor
gan, in reply to the inquiries of Dr. Mercier,
sent MIN samples Of the cotton and quite a
quantitysof the seed. The samples were at
the time submitted to Messrs. Christ and Neil
leur, the experts of the cotton exchange, who
pronounced the cotton Of a superior quality.
The seed was Immediately distributed among
a number of planters, who undertook TO Gull
tiyate them. The efforts OF the AtheDgum
. are this year crowned with unguestioned sue
cess. Among tie persons in the immediate
vicinity CT the city to whom seeds were dis
tributed. are the Messrs. Cavaroc, below the
city. and Mr.. Fendel Horn, on st. Charles
street. Mr.. Cavaroc has planted one acre
of the seed, and the plant on his place has
improved wonderfully, promising splen-
did crop. At Mr.. Fendel Horns resi-
dence, on st. Charles street, the aeed
wiIich be" has planted has acquired for the
season wonderful PROPORTIONS The seed was
sowed on the sixth Of April last, aud one Of
the plants doomed on the first of June. The
flower is Of brilliant yellow, with beaut;-
full red tinge at the base of III" "DETAILS Com
t'ary 20 the the hover of the Ordinary cotton,
which gradually fades, the flower Of the BA-
miah preserved its bright yellow color until IT
persisted and fell to the ground. One of the
plants has already attained the hight Of four
feet, and another three feet SIX inches, and
are daily growing rapidly. In the State of
Mississippi, at Bay st. Louis, Mr.. Tulman
sowed about the same time one hundred

Poisoned by Decaying Fruit.

The Quebec Mercury, of the tenth instant,
says: "Ihis morning two men lost their lives
on board the steamer Sarmatlan. while lying
at her wharf on Champlain street. While
opening up the lower forward hold, in which
was slowed quantity of oranges, seven men
went down to unlade the cargo, when they
all were more or less overcome by foul gas
A ship laborer named Plante was the last to
reach the ladder to reascend, but at its very
foot he fell back exhausted. A quartermas-
ter named George Midway, who was mount
ing the ladder Immediately in front of Plante,
heroically re-descended to his rescue, but the
choky air had done its work, and the brave
man also fell a victim athwart of Plante,
The chief officer Of the steamer then made a
valiant effort to recover the two unfortunate
men, but was driven back and reached the
deck in state of stupefaction. One Of the
sailors then essayed the task. being lowered
by rope, but ne had to be hauled up with
out accomplishing his mission. The chief
officer, being restored to consciousness, was
again lowered, and second time nearly lost
his life In his humane efforts. Finally, after
much labor. ropes were attached to the bodies
of the quartermaster and Plante, and they
were drawn up, but life was found to be ex-
tinct in each CASE

Death from Excessive Joy.

Leeds Mercury: On Sunday evening Mrs.
Judith Dixon, of Silsden, dropped down
dead. it is generally thought, from excessive
Joy at the return of her SOP, Thomas Dixon,
who had been nearly nine years in America.
On hearing of the death of his father, Mr..
Abraham Dixon, on August l, 1877, the son
informed his mother that, when he had settled
his affairs, he should return home. The mother
had for several years suffered from palpitation
Of the heart Mr.. Dixon arrived at Steeton
station by the evening mail-train, and was
driven in an omnibus to the foot of the hill
where his mother resided. Finding his parent
out, and telling who he was, Mrs. Steel, a
neighbor, went at once to Bethesda chapel,
where prayer-meeting was being held, and
where Mrs. Dixon was. She informed her
that Thomas had returned, whereppou the
mother Immediately left the chapel and came
home. She Appeared agitated. sat down in
a chair, and was seized with illness. A short
conversation ensued between mother and SOP,
in which she asked if it really was her son
Thomas" and she was told in reply that he
was her son. Almost Immediately afterward
she expired
