peaches living. The Heath ana rev others
have some peaches remaining. Our mar
kets in Richmond will get few peaches from
Virginia. On recent visit TO Lester
Manor we found the peach crop OF
the Uery large orchard there an entire
failure. Among the cherries, the wax and
a later variety, name not known, escaped
the frost entirely. Among the pears, as be-
fore stated, the "Buffum" is full OF
pears; next to this SeckeI, then Clapp's
Favorite, then Bartlett, then BeuYre
d'Aniou, come in the order named as to
the quantity Of fruit remaining. Other va
rieties, as Duchess, Louis Bon de Jersey,
Lawrence, Vicar of WINFIELD, Belle Lucra'
tive, Duchess Bordeaux, Doyeune Bous-
sock, GIout Morceau, and Doyeune d'Ete,
are almost entirely killed.
We regret to see the apple crop being
greatly reduced by "twig blight" said to
be caused by an insect, though the point of
the piercing by the insect cannot be seen by
the naked eye. We notice that some trees
have had nearly all the apples destroyed by
the killing Of the twigs, which bear the
apples. One large tree particularly, which
was full of apples, has thus lost them all.
| may say here that two OF the pear-trees
mentioned above-viZ., "Clapp's Favor
ite" and "Vicar Of WINFIELD "-should not
be planted in this latitude on account Of
their great liability to "tlight." The lat
ter. too, is OF very inferior quality.

BISHOP PENICK'S LECTURE IN BALTIMORE ON
| THE MISSIONARY WORK IN AFRICA.
BALTIMORE, May 25.-Bisbop Penick lee.
tured tonight at the Church Of the Mes
slab upon bis work in Africa. He said the
girls there are more highly priced than the
bows, as they can be sold as wives from Sl5
TO S2j apiece. All the wife's relations are
also privileged and beg Of the husband, aud
! he Is considered to be very mean man I'M
! less he gives them something. The parents
rarely whip their children, who are as bad
| lot as are on the face OF the globe. When
child becomes too obStreperous, how
ever, any one may whip it. AS the boys
grow up they are made TO keep the birds
away from the rice-delds, and are put
in classes and trained TO fight. AS
result OF this training the men are
all finely developed and athletic. When
girl is thirteen years old she is taken charge
OF by a secret society OF women to be edu-
Gated for the duties OF wife. No man ever
enters the meetings of this society, and
what they do is not known. All the women
marry. No such thing as an old maid Is
known in Africa. The men on the coast go
to sea, and when they have saved enough
return home TO buy wife and settle down.
No man who has Just married young wie
is allowed to 60 to war-a custom when tne
speaker considered remnant OF the old
Mosaic law. The people are great liars and
thieves, and TO christianize them is very
hard work.
IL Is q mistake for people here to suppose
that the heathen Is innocent and guiltless.
On the contrary, he never knew heathen
who did not sin according TO his own code.
IL Is hard to make them believe In the
spiritual benefits OF Christianity, and TO con-
vert them II must be made materially bene-
scial TO them. But, in proportion to expen.
dIture, be believed the results among the
heatben as good as the results In America.
For $4,000 there were maintained IN Africa
for a wear nine ministers; 200 children were
maintained at school, besides 300 more edu.
Gated 400 Christians were attended to, and
10, 600 heathen were reached by the various
branches OF work. His experience had
taught him that II cost less TO make
Christian IN Africa than 1t does 10 America,
though he dIsIiked to put the subject on
this mercenary basis.

dency. General Johnston stated that it
would have given him much pleasure TO
have remained i'm Atlanta some days longer,
but on account Of the early adjournment Of

there were several bills that he wished to
push through before that body adjourned.
He said that he had great hopes Of Dem.

vaInc OF the Broom-Corn Crop
FORK UNION, FLUvANNA COUNTY, }
Nav On 1QQ0 Z

IL
May 20, 1880.
Editors Dispatch: viii you allow me
through your columns to direct the attention
OF farmers TO the pecuniary value OF the
broom-corn crop, particularly at this sea.
son, when every right-thinking man is ask
ing himself this question. "Wbat can ]
plant rs substitute for tobaccOf"
The following facts in answer to this
question have been obtained from two
planters-one on the James and the other
on the RivaDna river-whO for the past
three or four years have raised the crop un-
der consideration for market: They inform
me that river.bottom will yield not less than
one ton per acre-sometimes more. This is
the result after the seed has been threshed
off. Ii is well to remark here that the seed
is most excellent food for stock, being high
ly nutritious. The corn is now quoted at
from five 10 eight cents per pound, thus
giving us from 800 10 Sl60 per ton.
For The benefit OF those who may wish to
raise it, give the manner Of culture as
practiced by the planters above mentioned !:
Having prepared the soil nicely, lay off your
rows mot deep about q or feet apart,
dropping your seed about 10 TO IA inches
apart in the row. Aim to put three or four
seed in each hill, and do not thin after ii
comes mp.
So much for the details OF planting. All
that remains now is to keep the field free
from grass and work the ground level.
With good season the crop will be ready
to cut in eighty days. 1t Is not desired to
have it ripe, as it will then be brittle, but
all that is needed is that the broom shall
have reached its required l,ngtb, which Is
Just before IL turns red.
Now let one man begin to turn dOlrn in
this manner: Reach out like one swim
ming. gather a handful and pull behind
him, bending the stalk at the same time.
Do this with both hands alternately. Fol.
lowing him is another man who cuts off the
broom, leaving about five inches Of stalk as
a handle.
The corn must be cured in the shade. A
very convenient way is this Make floors OF
rails or tobacco sticks on the ier-poles Of
tobacco-house; spread the corn on these so
that each layer shall be about six inches
thick; allow free passage OF air through
the house, and when cured thresh the seed
by turning a wheat. drum backwards, or
use little machine made for the purpose,
the cost Of which is little. j. F. w.

| CONSERVATIVE RALLY LAST NrGHT.-The
last Conservative mass meeting before the
municipal election was held last night on
Broad street In front OF the City Hall.
There was large crowd In attendance, in.
Guiding the members Of the various Con-
servatiye clubs In the city. A platform was
erected fer the speakers, and excellent mu-
sic enliyened the occasion. CanDons were
fired at intervals, and the brilliant
rays OF q big calcium light ilumined
Broad street for several squares, making the
night almost as bright as day. Major John
II. Claiborne presided, aud introduced ex-
Mayor A. NJ. Kelley as the irst speaker.
Mr.. Kelley spoke about hall an hour,
making one Of bis telling speeches. The
speaker alluded to the excellent manner in
which our municipal government has been
conducted during the past ten years, aud
urged upon the people OF Richmond to sus-
tain and maintain that government, which
has been the pride OF the city for the past
decade, and not to vote to-day for men who
have not the interest OF the city at heart,
and who are unfit to hold positions OF trust
and honor.
Mr.. Kelley was followed by S. b. Witt,
Esq. Mr.. Wits speech was listened to
with the utmost attention. IL was an ap-
peal to the white people OF Richmond to
stand by the white mans party and at the
polls to-day wipe out The so-called Reid
iuster party, and select men to conduct the
affairs OF our city who have been tried and
found true, and not those who are greedy
for Office and bent upon the ruin OF our
beautiful city.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Wits speech
loud calls were made for Captain George
ID. Wise, who was afterwards introduced
brief but to the point, and the meeting
broke up shortly after 10 O'Clock.
The collation. prepared by the X. X. Klub
at their headquarters was an elegant affair,
and was enjoyed by number Of the friends
OF the club.
