THE Ex-PREsIDENT OF THE CONFEDRA-
CY TO THE MISSISSIPPI EDITORS.
Pascagoula SPECIAL to New Orleans Pi-
cayune.
On entering the hall he was greeted
with cheer on cheer all rose, the ladies
waving handkerchiefs and throwing
passed through the hall with the commit
tee, Of which L. Barksdale was chair
man, who introduced Mr.. Davis, saying
that every Mississippian walked with
loftier stride when Jefferson Davis ap-
peared among them after the long and
bloody night that had passed. Roger =
Grated and free again, Jefferson Davis
was welcomed 10 the hearts and homes
of Mississippians. Mr.. Davis said Mis-
sissippi was identified with his highest
hopes, and he rejoiced to see her regen-
Grated. 1t was charged that Mississippi
had repudiated her honest debt, which
was untrue. She paid all honest debts,
crushed and bleeding from every pore,
without voice to raise in her own de-
fense.
That dark hour. thank TOD has pas ed
away and Mis,issippians once more
governed Mississippi; and through weeds
sackcloth and ashes exclaim in the Ian
guage of job, ~ believe my aven er
liveth." Truth would prevail in final
triumph. From beginning to end, he
said, in prosperity and adversely, when
leading bodies of men or laden with
chaing in dungeon, have been true to
Mississippi. l believe you have done
right AMI do not feel that have done
wrong. Thanking the pass of Mississippi
for their cordial reception, he predicted
1t would vindicate the past and point u
roads of morality in the future. Th'
women of the South during the war wer'
most resolute. He said he never saw
Southern woman whs had been recon
structed. The children of such womel
must raise to vindicate such principles
Let no one, said Mr.. Davis, suppose
am advocating revolution or preaching
sectional strife. The re-establishment O
such principles and great truths as lay a
the foundation of this government wa
necessary. Modification and secession
began in New England and not in tn
South. Friends-for all Mississippian
are my friends, one and all; Low
Mississippi, and love MissIsslppians-
God bless you all now and forever. (Rt
peated applause and great enthusiam.)

GEAR AND QUEEN.
Ivan she Terrible ~ 0uitor 70 2Osd
Queen Bosss


The following We take from All the
World Round =
In The days ofIvan the Terrible, whose
frigftful atrocities suggest the charitable
idea that he must have been mad, and Of
Queen Elizabeth, there was great
tendency to draw close bonds between
England AMI Russia. England wanted
the monopoly of the Russian trade, and
Russia wanted the alliance Of great
maritime power. The Hakluyt society
takes up the narratives whore Hakluyt
leaves of, supplementing their infor ma
ton, and has disinterred various state
papers and curious biographies. One
Horsey wss O clerk in the service Of the
Russian company in Russia, and Ivan en-
plOyed him as an agent to proc ed to
England. He wanted to marry an Eng
fish lady: and he even aspired to The
great Elizabeth herself. IL was resolved
That the Lady Mary Hastings, the queens
own nit ce, might probably prove suita-
BILE match for the car. Itwas quite true
that the czar favored under the trIfing
disadvantage of being married already ;
but he hastened to explain that his wife
was not Of royal birth, and he was en-
tlrely prepared 10 rrpudiaie her. Lady
Mary got the nickname among her friends
Of Empress OF Muscovie. On the whole
however, she was not satisfied vi h the
ricks and manners" OF her imperial ad-
mlrer. She persuaded Queen Elizabeth
to allow her to decline the dangeruu;
honor. Ivan got into terrible passion
because Queen Elizabeth did not meet
| his wishes. He entirely lost any gOol
manners which he might have been sup
posed to possess, and told the ambassador
'that he did not reckon the Queen O
Eng land To- be his fellow, for there arr
that are her betters." The ambassado
lnanfully answered that "the queen, BIZ
mistress, was as great q prince as eve
was iu Christendom, equal TO him tina
thought himself the greatest, we'll able t.
defend herself against his malice whose

Field Culture of Cabbage.

As the raising OF cabbage has been quite
difficult the past few years, any method that
insuTes success must be of benefit, if known
to the pubic. I have yearly cultivated about
one-halt acre OF cabbage the past few years,
some years with success and Others entirely
failing, on account of clubfoot and the worm.
l had almost come to the conclusion that it
was time and labor lost to try to raise crop
OF cabbage. My greatest enemy was clubfoot,
developed in the seed-bed, so that the plants
at the time of setting out woud frequently
show the disease badly. My attention was
directed to the raising of the plants, to
get them free from disease if possible. NY
seed-bed was made last spring, where there
were chips and accunuations of an old
wood pile that had not been used for wears.
The refuse waste of the wood pile had been
raked together and burned, leaving the ashes
on the land. The seed-bed had the benefit
of the ashes thus made, also the decayed chips
which escaped the fire; this plat was well
spaded up and the cabbage seed sown. As
soon as the plants appeared above ground
they were sprinkled with wood ashes for
number OF times to protect them from the
small black fly. About June 10, when the
plants were ready to set, we marked the
ground, and with dibble made for the pur-
pose, made the holes for the plants and had
the holes filled with liquid manure from the
barn yard. The plants were then set. This
wetting the hole ensures their living, even if
the ground is dry at the time of setting We
cultivate with horse and cultivstor. to keep
the ground free of weeds. Last season we
gave the cabbage asprinkling of brine, by dis
solving as much salt in pail of water as
would dissolve before using. This we
did as preventive OF injury by
worms. By this method we raised
the finest crop Of cabbages ever raised on the
farm. The only drawback was that the fall
was so fine and warm that many of the
heads burst. Whether we can raise another
crop by managing in the same manner, with
equal success, time will tell. We shall try.
Perhaps there might be something in the
seeds being grown from sound healthy stock.
Who can tell?-Corr. Country Gentleman.

Prepnrinx for Spring Work.

The season for the commencement of farm
operations is with us. Are all the needful farm
implements in order, ready for the seasons
uses A wise builder prepares in advance be-
fore commencing to erect his structure; not
less prudent should the farmer and the cul-
turist be, TOR to him we must look for COM
mencement of the regeneration of all pros
perity relative to the pecuniary affairs of our
country. Who can recall the time when ag-
ricultural products were economically pro.
dnced in abundance, but that all other clas-
ses and pursuits we're bettered financially?
In order that the farmer may pursue his
vocation economically as well as successfully.
all bis plans must be laid in advance, to be
ready for execution as soon as the proper
time arrives; and this cannot be done unless
the needful farm implements are procured,
repaired, or in readiness for use as soon as
the season will admit. A poor, worn-out
plow, or other implement, had better be re-
placed with one OF the improved. sorts of the
day, for the difference in expense viii not
make up the difference in the cost of labor
aud execution, while with the new one there
is satisfactory results. There is little salts
faction resulting from the use of poor ones,
for does it not cost more labor while the ex-
ecution is not so good?
All self-made forehanded farmers are of
the kind who drive their work, not allow wing
their work to drive them; they pillow and
plant, SOW and harvest at the very earliest
opportunity; cultivate early, aud thus keep
down weeds, aud encourage early, rapid
growth OF useful plants no waiting tor weeds
to grow and choke the corn, but all are sub
dued when they should be-when small and
every other operation OF the farm is perform
ed In its season, without extra exertion. H.
stead of being fretteed with overwork, all the
work is leisurely done, and compare
lively easy time is had, while large sggre-
gate amount of work is accomplished during
the season, and all results from having plan
and taking time by the forelock. In practice,
have always found it most econem cal to
repair all implements worth repairing, and
procure such new ODes as are needed, some
weeks in advance of their expected need for
use, as well as to order new seeds needed,
while the seedsmen has good stock to Sc
lect from aud time to I'LL orders before too
late to use them as | could wish. Corr.
