IHE STREET RAILwAY.-The announce
ment we made yesterday in reference to the
street railway has excited considerable in
interest, and it is said that the enterprise is
in fair way to become an actual fact az
no distant day. The proposed plan is to
run the track from the Greenville and South
Carolina Railroad depots up Gcrvais street
to Main street, thence by double line to
the post office, and from there to the Char
iotte depot. A charter was granted for
tnis purpose some years agn, but times were
such that it was not found practicable to
carry 1t into operation now, however, bust.
ness and politics have become more settled
and the parties interested propose to move
at once.-Col Register.

land and ordinary soil it did not yield any
better than ordinary corn. And, indeed,
am less and less disposed to lay any great
stress upon "improved varieties" of corn for

worked, (theres the secret, and, "aye!
there's the rub !" likewise,) will on good
soil, yield plentifully, if not interfered with
by drought Of course, seed corn ought
to be selected from the best ears, taking
the middle, because the largest grains, and
from the stalks bearing the most and the
best ears. That corn can be improved in
this way no farmer can doubt, but il will
soon degenerate if not planted in good soil,
naturally rich or literally manured, and
not properly aud thoroughly worked. For

WHERE MURDER BEGINs.-The point
of beginning is the monster evil known as
carrying deadly weapons. Out of this evil
nave grown duelling and the sickening
record OF lite-taking in moments of anger
by mon who convert their persons into walk

barbarism of duelling now excites little other
emotions than popular disgust and contempt !;
but that other relic of barbarism, carving
deadly weapons, has yet to be uprooted.

evil, for it has done little to make persons

GARDEN FRUITs.-Zoroaste saws "He
that panteth tree waterelh the EARTH
and we agree with him and further saw,
that, besides the Watering" if he plants
many of them, and the right sorts, he also
feedeth and comforteth the people of the
earth. We want moro attention to fruit
culture There is health, money and com.
fort in raising delicious fruits. Farmers
should use more pippins aud less pork
1t would be better for both their health
and their purse, and the many advantages
OF we'll kept fruit garden is apparent to all.
For small suburban lots and farms, espe-
cially those near cities, garden, with
proper selection Of small fruits and a few
standard large sorts of " goodly trees" here
and there on the borders, is the thing
needed; and the facilities for such culture
are within the reach of ali thus situated.
The fruit garden is desirable appendage
to all small farms. The large farmers of
the country, the wheat, corn and potato
fraternity, may, if they choose, have their
large or small orchards, cultivate for home
use or for market, and find that there is
utility in fruits and flowers as we'll as ip
cereal crops, flocks and herds. An ancient
writer says: mo man can live among
music and flowers without being made bet.
ter" He might have added fruits, which,
in addition, would promote health and bet.
