The south has borno herself
bravely and nobly during the yell
low fever scourge; no people could
have behaved better. One class
in particular has shown unfiiDching
courage and the most generous
humanity Its members may not
have done, probably they did not,
ANYTHING more than many Others
IN the injected districts, but they
have been more conspicuous from
their calling. These, the j..urnal-
lists of the south, meaning ali who
are occupied with getting, trans-
uniting or arranging news, have
reflected credit on themselves aud
the profession by the quiet, reso-
lutte, fearless mannerin which they
have discharged to the fullest their
highest duty. Hardly an instance
can be given 10 which one Of them
has quilted his post. In New Or
leans, Vicksharg, Memphis, and
smaller towns, they have refused
70 go away. as they night and as
SO many others have done. They
determined to face the dangvr--a
very formidable one, since very
few of them had had the fever, and
a large number were new to the
southland to challenge death in
orderto render the service which
they knew would be sadly needed.
Scores of them have been down
with the pestileDce; many Of them
have died, but none have faltered
or rcttested. On some newspapers
only one or two journalists have
been left, but the survivor or sur
rivors have kept religiously ut their
work. Nor have they by any
means restricted themselves to
their business; they have distrib

the Howards--attend+d TO the sick
and dying, and worked incrssantly

gives an assurance of the least possible fric
ton. At a certain point the movements of the
pendulum itself shut OFF magnetic connection
with the earth, and at another point restore the
connection, thus secaring the condition neces
sary to produce its oscillations. The works
are so ingenious and simple that il Is no wild
assertion 10 make that. were il not for the un
avoidable wearing out caused by even the small
amount Of friction, the clock would run as
long as the solid earth endurcs. This clock IS

A Winter Peach.

The Petersburg (Va.,) 2Rmal
Messenger thus describes this fruit,
which, it says, originated with Mr..
James Hawkins, Of Dinwiddie, Va,
before the war, and which is. called
the "Hawkins Winter Peach" The
gentleman has lad for some years
trees in full bearing:
"The fruit does not begin to
ripen until the leaves, have fallen
from the tree in November; is in NO
way injured by the severe frosts Of
that sedson, and hangs on the trees
until it assumes beautiful red
cheek. When ripe they may be
picked and put away to be carried
to market at leisure-say any time
in November or early December,
The fruit islargc (the first importan,
item in market pcach), color
whitish, with red cheek, flesh whitish,
rich, juicy and pleasant. 1t will
keep far into December without
rotting. 1t can be handled pretty
much the same as apples"

To Keep Roses Blooming.

As soon as they have formed
their first flowers in the open ground,
pinch off the end of the first shoot,
and as soon as the rose is fully
opened, pick it of. No rose should
be left to fade upon the bush, as
when so left it exhausts the plant In
the formation of seed. As the plants
grow, pinch back the ends Of the
shoots when they have grown six
inches, and rub out all puny shoots,
thus keeping.the plants in rounded
open bush form. If strong shoots
alone are left to grow, they will
soon control the strength Of the
plant, and the flowers will be few
and often Of imperfect form. Should
the season be hot and dry, q mulch
of fine, fresh grass or sawdust, or
moss from the woods, should be
placed all over the soil, three inches
deep, and at night watered
thoroughly, not sprinkled, but wet
like a days rain. The Hybrid
Perpetuals or Noisettes require this
pruning or pinching back more
promptly than the Teas} Bengals

Moths i'm Carpets.

This paragraph will be interesting
to housekeepSs, who have carpets
to keep from being moth-eaten.
Mrs. s. T. W., says the Country
Gentleman, has tried salt and
various other applications, and still
the insects trouble her carpets. We
advise her to try the plan proposed
by Prof. A. J. Cook, in his report
on injurious insects. He advises to
take a wet sheet or cloth. lay it
upon the carpet, and tnen 60 over
tie wet cloth with a hot fiat iron ,
the steam thus produced will pen-
citrate the carpet, and not only
destroy living moths but cook their
eggs, and prevent them from hatch
ing. 1t is cheap and easy ol
application, and we have no donbt
that it will prove effective. The
only wonder is, that no one has
thought of it before.
