THE ONT8S.-Iu a late number OF the
Sanford Joarnol, Sir. J. Wofford Tucker

sewn by the 20th of October, the plants can
be taken mp aud set in beds, say, the 20th of
December. The beds are four feet wide.
with narrow foot-pati1s between, and tie
ground prepared in the best style. Set the
plants in drills ten to tTeive OF fourteen
inches apart, and at least eight inches dis
tarce ore from the other IN the drill. Keep

a JOLLY WEDDISG.-1n Central
America is country called Towka, and
without doubt the Towkans. whatever
else they may be, are the jolliest people
in the world at a wedding. They ap-
pear 10 be such an ignorant race as to be
unable TO keep record of the age of
their children, except in amanner some
what similar to that adopted by Robin
son Crusce with his notched post as an
almanac. The Towkans, however, do
notch their children. They hang round
their necks at birth q string with one
bead on and at the expiration of year
they add another bead, and so on, the
main object being seemingly that there
may be no mistake when the people ar
rive at maTTiageable age. When a
girl numbers fifteen beads she is mar
riageable. but the young man must pos
sess necklace of twenty before he is
Teckohed capable of taking on himself
sOSerious responsibility. But the we'd
ding feast is the thing. The invited guests
assemble on what answers to our village
green. and set in their midst is a canoe,
the property of the bridegroom, brim-
ming with palm wine, sweetened with
honey, and thickened with crushed plan
tainS. The drinking cups arc calabash-
es which are set floating in the fragrant
liquor, and seated round 1t, the company
fall to-a mark of politeness being tc
drink out of as many calabashes that
have been drank out of 10y somebody else
ss possible. 1t should be mentioned
however, TO the Towkan's credit, that
his bride is not present at this tremen.
dods drinking bout, or, rather. boat
She remains in her parents hut, and
when her intended has finished with the
calabashes he takes his whistle of ham
boo and his '-tom-tom, = which is hol
low little log, tied over at each end with
bits of leather. and seating himself al
the door Of the dwelling OF his parents
in-law in prospective, he commences tC
bang and tootle sweet music, until the
heart of the tender creature within i:
softened. and they let him in.

This Sarsaparilla is n combination OF
vegetable iteratives--Stillingia nj an
drake yellow Dock-witl the Iodisies
of Potassium and Iron. and Is tlle
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended for0re.
It's ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full Alternative
effect of each is assured. and while
il is so mild as 10 be harmless even
TO children, it is still so effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
deyelop into loathsome disease.
The reputation il enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the ceniidence
which prominent physicians all over
the country repose IN it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stantlv being received, and as many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence OF
the superiority of this Sarsapariiia
over every other Alternative medicine
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than TO assure the pubic
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained

GLASS CIorH.-Glass Cloth Is being made in
Germany. At Gaudeufrei. the artist and glass;
spinner, A. Prengel, Of Vienna, has established
his glass business, Offering carpets, cuffs, col
isrs' wells, ETC., Of glass. He not only spins
but also weaves glass before tho eyes Of the peo-
pie. The otherwise brittle glass no changes into
piiable threads, and uses them for making good,
warm clothing by introducing certain ingreii-
ent'' which are his secret, and thereby changing
the entire nature Of the glass. He makes white
curly glass muffs also ladies' hats Of glass with.
glass feathers, which are lighter than real feath-
Wool, made Of glass, it is said, cannot be dis
hnguished from the genuine article. Glass is q
non'conductor, and the time may not be distant
when it will cause revolution in dress materi-
ais.
