| believe the easiest and cheapest way to
bring up a worn-down farm by green manur-
ing. Suppose your farm is too poor for clover,
and grass makes only IA feeble growth, put on
1t a manural crop that will grow, such as rye.
Turn this under with your pillow, and you can
then raise something better. Keep feeding
your soil with everything your shovel and your
team can command-ashes, leached ashes, if
you can get them by drawing them within five
miles; muck mari, anything that will bring a
green mantle over your fields. Soon you can
set your clover pumps at work, pumping up
to the surface the inexhaustibe resources of
your subsoil. If an animal dies, don't stop to
bewail your luck and cXclaim, Everything
goes to the dogs on my farm" Don't send it
to the dogs at all, but compost 1t with muck,
or even soil, and thus secure most valuable
manure Sampson performed a wonder by
taking honey from the dead carcass of a lion.
You can Guido that wonder by extracting
wheat from the carcass of your dead COW. Pick
up all the bones you can find, pat them under
cover and mix with them two or three times
their bulk Of ashes from your kitchen, molsten
them with enough water so that the potash
may act on the gelatine of the bones; stir them
over once a week, and in a month or two you
will find the bones SO tender that you can cut
and crush them with blow from your shovel.
Beat the whole into powdcry mass, and you
will have a manure better than the superphos-
pilates which you feel too poor to buy. Give a
handful of this to each hill of corn, and see
how it will wave its banner of green and pour
into your basket the golden ears But IN bring
ing your soil into good condition do not neg
lect green manuring.-Pr@ Kedstt.

Ifs fsh-bone or II portion OF food sticks in
the throat, and threatens to produce suloca-
hon, first give smart blow between the Shout
ders. This will most likely dislodge the sub
stance. If the patient can make any attempt to
swallow, put IA large lump Of butter in his
mouth. This will help the offending substance
to pass down the throat more easily. If he
cannot swallow, put the finger as far down the
throat as possible and endeavOr to pull the
bone or meat out, or tickle the throat to pro
auce immediate vomiting. Unless there is

GenernI Trade.

A spirit of activity was manifested
throughout the whole Of last week,
increasing day by day from the time
the quarantine blockade was raised.
Several thousand bales Of cotton were
sold at from 10 to lie per pound, and
the rapidly accumulating receipts
coming by rail and river indicates that
the business revival has been general,

4 One Hundred Thousand Dollar
Cradle.

Extensive preparations are being
made at the palace in Mandalay in
prospect of a coming event, viz. the
confinement of King Theebau's head
queen, the Soopyahlat. The Poon-
gees (priests), Poonaks or a~strologers,
Baydin Sayas or fortune tMellers, have
been duly consulted, and they have
all unanimously come to the conclu-
sive prediction hat the new conner
will be a royal son, and Theebau has
declared that he shall be the royal
heir.apparent to the throne of the
king of the Rising Sun, lord of the
White Elephant, the Golden EN-
brella, etc. 1t is reported that the
cradle, which has just been completed,
cost the State nearly two laos of
rupees $4,000 The cradle was
first framed with mango wood and
encased with sheet gold inside and
outside. Over this is ornamented
gold work, set with precious stones Of
all kinds-diamonds, rubies, sapphires.
emeralds, etc.-and the work is said
to be very superior, as it is turned ont
by the best Of the frst-elass gold
smiths Of Upper Burmah. The ar.
rangements for fitting up the cradle
are as follows: A soft bed or cushion
covered with green silk velvet, and
the sides with embroidered work.
This is the manner in which the
cradle was to be fixed and how
worked: 4 thick iron rod has been
fixed across the room, some twelve
feet above the floor, and tho cradle is
suspended by means of golden cords.
made of golden wire for the purpose
Of swinging, and to work backward
and forward, like punkahs in your
part of the world. The king OBJ
jected to the old method of having
the royal cradle pulled by a parcel of
old women, so the mechanical and en-
cheering elements of his kingdom
were called into requisition, and one
of the Italian mechanics has invented
a wiud-up machine by which the
cradle can be set going, once wound
up, for a day or night, or until further
orders, to the great delight of the
king. The royal babe is to be nursed
and brought up in English style, and
for this purpose the sum Of 5000
rupees was given to one of the sisters
of the convent here to purchase a
complete outfit, and it is said that the
sister has faithfully executed the
order, and the paraphernalia for the
youth has been deposited in good
time. The king and queen are said to
abhor the sight of Europeans, and Of
the English particularly, and yet tho
foregoing preparations arc aher the
European fashion.

ing on his return trip from Americas,

in the vicinity of Dahlonega, but it
has remained idle and unoccupied
ever since.
On an adjacent lot, however, gold
was discovered some time since, and
what is known as the Singleton mine
has been successfully operated. 1t is
the same vein of gold bearing quartz
that passes clear through the land of
Mr.. lvey, with a width of from six to
eight feet, and penetrating to an un-
known depth. Thus far it has been
worked thirty-fve feet below the sur
face.
At a distance of about every ten
feet the miners encounter what is
termed a "shute," where the precious
ore crops out plentiiully in jagged
points from the quartz, and a be
collected with great facility. Some of
these shutes are amazingly rich. We
saw many specimens of quartz that
fairly bristled with the shining metal.
which stands out in irregular pieces
several dollars in value, and perfectly
free from foreign substances. One
specimen presented to the writer can
be seen at this office.
The circumjacent rotten slate stone
lying in a bed forty feet wide on either
side of the vein is also very rich in
gold PARTICLES, and can be worked
proftably.
Mr.. Ivey has only recently COM
menced operations, and, so far, has
used only the old Long Tom for wash
ing and separating the gold. 1t will
pay to work all the old debris over
again. He is about to erect a stamp

hance the yield of gold. With his

will make the fortune of the lucky
owner.

A Relic.

Danyille Wa) Postl
A Confederate cap machine has
been found in Danville in some old
rubbish, all complete, but very rusty.
and has no doubt been lying in lis
present place ever since the war.
This machine was invented by Mr..
W. Il. Wash, Of this county. In
May, 1861, Mr.. Wash was in Rich
mond, where he found the govern
meHt had engaged a Mr.. Debow, a
Northern man, to supply il in mqsket
caps, that were then in great demand.
Debow asked Wash down In the ar.
sonal, and while looking at it, Wash
remarked that he could make a better
machine, and a General Dimmock
standing by replied that it was very
desirable he should do so. He went
to Lynohburg, and there in the
Phoenix foundery, with A. Dabnsy a
Son, in twenty-five days time he had
produced a cap machine that would
make 10000 good caps in ten hours.
This he took to Richmond and sold il
to the government for $4,000. lie
returned to Lynchburg and made
another machine, 0 great improya-
ment on his first, whose capacity was
$4,000 caps per day of ten hours.
This he sold for $4,000. Shortly
after no made the third machine.
which would mako 1900 caps per
hour, four different sizes Of cans, and
it was placed in the arsenal under
General Dimmock's supervision.
The Yankee papers at the time BRO
bounced it - big Confederate lie.r
On the evacuation of Richmond Mr..
Wash was ordered to Lynchburq with
these machines, five Of them, and this
last, the 1900 per hour machine was
loaded on a two-horso wagon and ta-
zen through the country to Lynch i.
burg, and thence TO this city, where il
has been ever since. IL is, perhaps
one OF the most prominent relies in
the South Of the late unpleasautness.

A Fathers HerOism TO Screen

Not a great while since a prominent
physician of Denver, Col, was called
to attend a patient in the last stages
of what appeared to be consumption.
but which, upon examination, proved
to be simply a wearing away of life-a
decay Of the energies of mind and
body. Although well supplied with
money the stranger was seemingly
without friends or relatives. He
wrote nc letters and received none.
An alien to the tenderness and char
tiles which sanctify the affections. he
seemed to be drifting out of the
world, in which, for him. all the
flowers Of the heart had perished-a
bleak and desolate old man, fastening
out Of the sunshine into the winter Of
the grave. After making a thorough
examination of the case the doctor
told him that although he could find
no organized disease, yet he was
dying.
=! know it" replied the patient.
But have you no idea of what
brought you to this plight? ?" inquired
the interested man of science.
1t is a curious phenomenon. You
have heard a great deal about cases
like mine more as a visionary ex-
aggeration Of the fancy than as an
actual occurrence-but, strange as it
may appear, | am dying, as you say,
Of a broken heart"
You surprise me
Yes, | surprise myself. [ did not
come to your health-giving climate as
others do-in search of a longer lease
Of life-but to die in peace, and
alone"
But have you no friends ~ asked
the doctor.
None that | can claim. My past
is sealed with the shadow of a crime,
and over my nameless grave not even
a memory must honor. | am already
dead to all who ever knew my name
You say you are a criminal 2 pur-
sued the doctor.
No, | am none. But I assumed the
stigma to shield another? ~
And the other?"
Was my son ~
What was the nature of his
crime?"
The physicians curiosity had got
the better part Of his prudence. The
shadows of the twilight were falling
around them. Through the open win.
dow streamed the soft brilliance of the
dying day. Clouds of amethyst and
purple foated lazily on the far.oa
bills. But in the chamber where the
fevered breath was drawn quick and
short, there was a hushed stiffness
which seemed in keeping with the
ghostly shadows.
IL was murder 2"
And was fixed on you?n
On mel assumed it. and then
escaped-but not to evade the venge-
ance Of the law, but to spare to him |

How long ago was this p
Ever since"
The feeble pulse was auttering-the
glazing eyes sheathed under waxen
lids, and the shattered form was grow
ing rigid momentarily.
Will you tell me no more ?" whis-
pered the physician.
1t is all | have to tell"
The next instant the man was dead.
He had kept his secret, and sacrificed
bis life in Keeping it,
