ES~PersOns who have traversed the immense
pine forests of North and South Carolina must
have concluded there was material enough there
to supply all the turpentine required by the me-
chanic and other arts for centuries to come. The
seemingly interminable stretches of pine swamps
and barrens give promise of immense supplies of
this article but the reality is they have been pref
ty nearly exhausted, and enterprise is already
sssking nsEd very fa NECESSARY s lfsraf many
years ago France and some of the Northern States
produced nearly all the turpentine of commerce,
but the seat of greatest production finally center
cd in the States above named where it has for
many years been of great Importance. Now, how
ever the forests there have been exhausted that
attention has been turned to Georgia, whose vir-
gin pine forests have remained untouched up to
the present time. The product of previously un-
tapped trees is not only greater but better than
that of old ones, and the business is consequently

ES-A gentleman connected with prominent
tea importing house in Baltimore, and who is an
expert in all matters pertaining to the culture and
curing of tea, went to Washington last week by
appointment with the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture, to inspect the 100000 tea plants growing in
the propagating houses of the Agricultural De-
partment. This gentleman has Travelled in China
and Japan in connection with the business of his
firm. In the latter country he remained one sea-
son superintendent of the tea plantations and
curing and packing establishments owned by his
house. Heis, therefore, probably well qualified
as any American to pronounce upon the practical
bility of cultivating tea in this country. He ex-
presses the utmost confidence in the success of the
Commissioners plans, and is surprised that tea
culture did not long ago become a profitable
branch of American industry. 1t is his opinion,
founded on long experience and study, that two
thirds of the labor expended in China is useless !;
and that with One-tenth of the ingenuity displayed
in the invention of the cotton gin, machinery can
be devised here which will supercede every hand
manipulation except that of picking, and which
will produce results more uniform and of better
quality than can be otherwise arrived at.

an attorney, assigned by the Court to defend a

a proper compensation, whereupon Mr.. Brent
brought suit, which Judge Magruder now decides

la-0ur friend Lowdermilk, of the Cumberland
Ciriliaa, was postmaster of that city for upwards
of eight years, and only relieved a short time
ago by President Hayes, who appointed another
gentleman (also Cumberland newspaper MANI to
that office. Before he was displaced he hadn't a
word to say against the present administration,
but since he has been out he has not lost a single
opportunity to give the President thrust. If we
had held Government office for eight years or so
at a salary of s., 500 more per year, think
we would be willing to let some other fellow get
his nose in the crib at least for a time. But then
we never held an Office and don't know how hard
it is to give one up.

THE FIENDIsH FARMER.-Now let the farmerre-
joice and be glad. He has felt himself, up to this
moment, martyr to the season. The smiling sun
has been an abomination unto him and the balmy
air an affection. Nature seemed to have set itself
to prosecuting him and all the elements have con-
spired against his happiness. He looked for snow
to smother his crops during the winter, but it
not the frost did not CONCEAL the ground mile
deep; neither did the sap freeze in the branches,
or dry up in the roots He met in convention as
usual, but there was no cutlery from his neighbors
and the only grievance he could discuss was the
price of peach-crates and the tariff of railroads.
1t was very discouraging
In our sympathy with the unhappy granger we
suggested misfortune, a frst-class grief in the
shape of an invulnerabe and indistructible insect
or wicked worm, which some ingenious agricultur-
list might invent in his leisure moments and which
would blast all the bright anticipations of the
sanguine citizen. For your average farmer, with
nothing to grumble with which to affrig the
souls of men, is miserable being, indeed. What
is life worth to him if there is no impeachment to
thcN"craps," when millions of hungry mouths are
gladly awaiting an abundant harvest and cheap
market
PIT the worm cape aat-nar Ill T. s-.lsst
choke the cereals the frost bite the orchards,
and the farmer was veXed and disguised beyond
measure. The coolest inhabitant" certified that
no such reason as this had occurred for years,
and altogether the husbandman was unhappy.
But things have begun to brighten. An old prece-
dent has been unearthed which indicates that this
is TO be year of famine, for, once upon time,
we had winter similar to the last one and it was
followed by summer of exceeding incemency.
1t showed in July and frosty in August, the
crops died and the fruit pershed and there was
an amount of misery in the land sufficient to sat
isfy the most inveterate grOwler.
This aged and precious prophecy has appeared
in all the country papers and the pining peach
grower and frowning farmer have fairly reveed
in the alarm it was calculated to excite. But now
a new prophet has arisen and the agriculturist,
who did not have full faith in the famine story,
feels himself encouraged to hope Canadian
seer, famous as a weather prophet, has predicted
that, on next Monday week. are to have the
champion frost and freeze of the century. All
the poisoning fruits and budding trees are to be
nipped and the grand promise of plentiful crops,
which has so cheered the urban breast, is to vanish
like the baseess fabric of dream. And the cOun-
tryman wags his head dismally while his bosom
throbs with joy, for the jewellers in cities are af-
hicted with misgiving at last.-BoltintOre Saa-
