THE SOUTH CAROLINA COTTON CROP.
Under date of the 9Th instant, the
Charleston Committee on Statistics and
information made their first report of the
condition of the growing cotton crop in
South Carolina, The report Is addressed
to the President and Directors of the
Charleston Exchange, and is as follows

Statistics beg leave tosubmit the follow.
ing report of the growing cotton crop in
this State, based onseventy-scveB replies
from twenty eight counties. -. - -
The acreage planted shows an average
increase over last year of five per cent.
The weather, with few exceptions, has
been more favorable this year than the
last, and the plant much more forward,
the estimates varying from FIVE to thirty
days, averaging ten days earlier.
Labor, as q general rule, is abundant
and more efficient. The use of commer-
ciaI fertilizers varies considerably, several
counties reporting an increase and others
q decrease.
The acreage shows, six per cent. in.
crease.
( Where commercial fertilizers have de-
creased, large increase in those of home
manufacture isireported. :.
Eleven counties report considerable
damage from cut worms; making re-
phintihg necessary.
Upon the whole. we consider the re-
ports very favorable for good crop.

THE WIFE Who Rules have beer

THE WIFE WHO Rules have been
young and now 1 am old, and there is
one thing l have never seen fail-the
wife who submits is the wife who rules.
I have never seen a disputing woman
maintain her influence over the mind of
her husband, nor of any other man, for
the matter of that. If you have quar-.
relsome, captious husband, there is but
one way to live peaceably with him
avoid contradicting him, and remain
silent rather than express a scontrary
opinion to him. If he urges you to ex-
preston, state your opinion in a mild,
persuasive tone once, and but once
Then preserve silence-not sulky nor
contemptuous silence, but cheerful, de-
ferential one. You will win him sooner
or later. Bear in mind this good wife's
motto: Submit, you conquer; serve, and
you'll command"

A PROSPEROUS FARMER.-When you
see q barn larger than a house it shows
that he will have large profits and small
Affections. When you see him driving
his work it shows that he will never be
driven from good resolutions, and that
he will certainly work his way to pros
perity. When you see in his woodbouse
sufIiciency for three months or more,
it shows that he will be more than q
ninety days wonder in farming opera
tions, and he is not sleeping in his house
after drunken frolic. When his sled is
housed in summer and his farming i'm
plements covered both winter and sum-
mer, it plainly shows that he will have a
good house over his head in the summer
of his early life and the winter of old
age. When his cattle are properly shild-
ed and fed in winter, it evinces that he
is acting according to Scripture, which
says that "a merciful man is merciful to
his beast" When he is seen subscribing
for a paper and paying in advance, it
shows that he is speaking Ike a book
respecting the last improvements in agri-
culture, and that he never gets his walk
ing papers to the land of poverty.

AN IRIsHMAN's WIr.-The following
is an old story, but we'll deserves repeti-
ton. In a pleasant company each one
asked q question-if it were answered

he could not answer it himself he paid q

How does the little ground-sguirrel dig
his hole without throwing any dirt about
the entrance? =.
When they all had given it up, Pat
said:

But how does. he get there?
All, says Pat, that is your question.
Can you answer it yourself?

1uigence or neglect, has become a
branch or limb, distorted unsymmet-
real, a Disagreement, not a thing of

A child INDUCED in every caprice,
whose wrong doings are source of
merrlment and openly repeated as
something wonderfully brilliant in
the presence OF the culprit, must be
but little lower than the angles if it
does not in a few years bring its par
ents to grief, and become the torment
OF the household and nuisance to
the neighborhood.
We have only space to speak of
the great wrong done children by
over tondness and unregulated indul-
gence; but quite as much harm, of
which we have not now time to speak,
springs from the heartless neglect OF
those parents and particularly the
mothers, who, for the pleasures of
fashionable life, and their own selfish
enjoyments, leave their children to
the unsafe guidance and imperfect
judgment of hirelings while they look
only to their own case and pleasure.
Such mothers ignore any response

their neglected children are now ut

on account of the large bodies of wateron

the wild trees in this locality, as the large
stocks plainly indicate, and the freeze of
1876 did not injure the most tender leaf of

JONES, OF ONEIDA, AGAIN DE-

In the New York Assembly on the 26th ult., O
bill was being considered which provides that in
Ontario county, when satisfactory proof Is furn.
ished by wife that her husband is an habitual
drunkard, the poOrmaster or any magistrate Of
the county shall cause the husbands name TO be
published in the official newspaper Of the county,
together with notification to all liquor dealers
that they must not sell him any liquor under a
penalty Of being guilty Of misdemeanor. This
bill drew out another characteristic speech from
the venerable Mr.. Jones Of Oneida, who on a for.
mer occasion said he had drank ale and whisky
for sixty years. He took exception TO the words
intoxicating liquors" used in the title Of the
bill and said:
Il do not believe there Is such thing as intox.
icating liquors. Naughter) 1 do not believe
there is any more intoxicatiOn In a barrel of
whisky than in barrel of water. l want 10
know for information why the word 'intoxIeat-
ing is used In connection with liquors any more
than with wine, beer or ale. do know that
wines, that beer, that ale will intoxicate men II
they drink too much, and know as well that q
man may drink whisky, brandy or any other
liquors without being Intoxicated II he don't
drink too much, and every other man knows Il
luss as wen - do. Now, ! have thought over
