Pea and Corn Culture.

I see in the April number of your most
excellent magazine an article from Mr.. FRANK
e.. Fuffen. ia relation to planting corn ana
peas, which he supposes to be a new ldea- l
am a sort of Carolina farmer, and have been
planting on the plan he speaks OF tor more
than twenty-five years.
prepare and plant as follows | run
centre burrows six feet apart; | throw SIX
burrows on that furrow, leaving small baik
which | burst out with "A 6-lnch shower. L
SOW about fifty or sixty pounds OF guano In
said furrow. [ throw two more burrows on
it. making a ridge. | then take a small bull
tongue and split that ridge and plant my
corn in it about thirty to thirty-six inches L
then plew out my corn twice. Then. the
third blowing, / throw four burrows to the
corn, leaving a narrow balk in the middle,
which | burst open with a small shovel pillow:
then | drop my peas about the same DIS
lance as my corn. / have my best pillow
hands to make the next turrow, Just as be-
fore, covering the peas with the bar OF the
pillow. | come round the fourth time, throw
ing four burrows to the corn then run the
hoe through the peas then run around the
peas with a sweep pillow, which completes
the work of corn and peas. | should have
stated that [ manure the corn again the
second blowing. The following year | burst
up the stalks ana Dcu on lnau iuIIOW DIS pc-
fore making my balk for the corn in the pea
furrow, manuring and cultiyating same as
last year that is the only manure my peas
get, and | find they do well but | think Mr..
Ruffin's plan OF manuring the peas a good
idea. [ nave tried various plans with corn
and pea planting, but find none better tor
the corn, and none equal for the peas. The
above plan gives the peas good room and all
the advantages Of the sun, and puts them a
proper distance from the corn. | have 40
doubt the roots in the earth and the vine on
the top is a great advantage to the corn as
planted in the pea row, and if there is any
manure left that was put to the corn the
previous year, the peas find it. | know far
mers that plant on nearly the same plan as |
do, but when laying by, they plant two more
rows Of peas near the corn. | do not CON
slider it any advantage in making peas, but
it may return a better supply of vines and
leaves as manure for the next season. | do
not think that any person need lose much
time III experimenting on the above plan. |
am persuaded that they may safely launch
out on the broad sea and plant all they wish
to cultivate III corn and peas on that plan,
Notwithstanding | heard a would be farmer

child, day after day, on mutton chops! Such
a proceeding is most injurious, not only on
account of giving the child too much animal
diet. but because it Is teaching his stomach
to digest nothing but muttOn-chops, and III
time it will not digest even those.
f. W. NJ, THE PULsE--The practice OF
ascertaining the character OF the action OF
the heart and arteries by feeling the pulse
at the wrist, the arm. the neck, the temple,
or the ankle, was one early adopted IN the
history of medicine, but Its full significance
was not recognized until after Harvey dis
covery of the circulation Of the blood. The
pulse at the wrist generally represents very
accurately the beating Of the heart; but
sometimes for want of tone, or from want OF
contractility IN the coats OF the artery, or
from tumors between it and the heart, or
from some local and temporary cause, there
may be a considerable Inference between
them. The natural pulse, or the frequency
of the heart beat, varies materially at differ
ent ages. and in different individuals, but
the following is the average, taken from a
great number of observations. Soon after
birth the pnlsations are from $50 to l+0 III
a minute, 100 to l20 in the second year, 90
in the eighth year, SO from the 18th to the
10th year, 20 to - in persons from % TO 80,
90 to - in those from 80 to %, and % to 90
in older persons. Yet every physician meets
with many cases in which young persons
have a pulse below 60, perhaps as many Of
old persons whose pulse is habitually from
10 to 50.

Some Curious AversiOnS.

The Secretary of Francis [. used to stop
up his nostrils with bread if he saw a dish OF
apples, to prevent an otherwise inevitable
bleeding at the nose. A Polish King had
an antipathy to both the smell and sight of
this wholesome fruit, and a family of Aqui-
tame had a hereditary hatred of it. A
Flemish damsel was sadly troubled by an un-
comfortable aversion to the smell of bread.
Cheese, mutton, musk, and ambergris have

Crime in the South.

DIR. Upper Hollands brief essay IN Scrtb
ner on southern Cultivation has recelv-
ed no little attention at the hands OF tnS
Southern press. The star at once recognized
the tissue of SANDERS and so characterized 1t.
We attempted no studied refutation because
we did not think any was necessary. W.
took it for granted that every reader OF or
binary sense would know that his account OF
lawlessness was a wild and malicious eXag-
geration and falsehood. The Atlanta Con-
s~tttution has treated Hollands charges with
more seriousness. We find in the Philadel-
phia Times the following notice of the Geor-
gia paper reply
Ito the charge that murder after muir
der is perpetrated in high life with the cool
est blood and nobody is arrested for 1t and
nothing is done about it. it opposes the fact
that, although several of the men who com
mitted the last six murders in Its city have
all the advantages of money and position,
every one was arrested, one IS under sentence
of death, two to Imprisonment for life, and
the others are awaiting trial. To the further
charge that any man may Ommlt a murder
there, and if he be a man IN high life, and
do 1t for personal reasons, and have a white
skin. with a great certainty that no one CON
nected with the law viii take notice of his
crime the Constttution replies by quoting
the statement of the Solicitor General Of the
Atlanta circuit that not a single white man
whom he had tried for murder had escaped.
while the negroes had nearly always got off,
and by recalling attention to the fact that
two white men had lately been hung in
Georgia for the killing Of negroes. Finally,
the Atlanta paper retorts that if they do
have sharp personal conflicts down South, in
which one man shoots another, they have
none OF the slow-forming,. deliberately plan
ned, cold -blooded, sneak-thief murders that
characterize New England"
In North Carolina, during the month of
May, there were no less than four persons
executed for burglary, two Of them were
whites. We do not pretend to assert that
crime is punished always in this State, or IN
any Southern State. We believe, on the
contrary, that there is a great deal of crime
that escapes punishment, and that the
courts are responsible in no little degree for
this condition of affairs. But, whilst this is
true, we insist that crime IS more promptly
punished in the South than in the North
hat the number of hangings in proportion
to criminals is far greater in the South than
III the other sections Of the Union. Accu-
rate statistics prove this, and when Upper
Holland asserts otherwise, or endeavors to
make it appear that lawlessness is far greater
IN our part of the country than in this sec
ton. he Is either inexcusably ignorant or
wIItully slanderous. Wilmington .Star.

old hater, an eclipse did for Charles d Escaro,
Bishop of Langrcs. 1t was his announcement
custom to faint at the commencement OF a

very infirm an eclipse took place. The good
Bishop went off as usual, and never came to

FATAL NEGRO FIGHT.-A terrible riot
took place this afternoon at Mcintosh, Il
berty county, a station on the Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad, between a party Of negro OK
~curslonlsts, from Bryan county, and negroes
belonging IN Mcintosh. The trouble began
IN a fight between two NEGROES. whereupon
John Randale, the captain Of a negro militia
company formed a part Of the excursion
party, ordered a charge. The company
obeyed the order, bayonetting everybody
within reach, the captain himself killing one
man by running him through with his sword.
There was intense excitement at this out
rage, and the Mcintosh negroes rallied and
drove the military company into the car,
opened fire on them, killed four, wounded "a
large number Of others and only stopped
shooting when the train was drawn out OF
range. They tried to prevent the train from
leaving by tearing up the railroad track, but
tailed. All the parties engaged were ne
