To the Farmers.

We would be pleased to receive
occasional articles from farmers OF
this and other Counties treating OF
the practical affairs Of farm life.
Farmers can greatly aid each other
by an interchange Of their views IN
this way. Many experiments are
being tried and it would be a use
ful lesson to give others the results
Of the experiments. We heard two
old farmers talking a few days ago
shout the use Of guano discussing
the relative value of the different
kinds; it's adaptability to different
soils, and the best time to put it in
the ground. There is no subject
of more general interest to our far
mers than guano; they all use it,
and as it is a very expensive article
they should know how to use it to
the best advantage. An article on
this subject from some farmer who
knows would be read with interest
and profit. There are q thousand
and one subjects upon which our
farmers might enlighten each other,
if they would only take the time
and trouble to write out their ideas
for publication. Agricultural Fairs
are not sufficient; one goes there
and sees what splendid corn, or
cotton, or other product, farmer
- has raised, but that is all he
does not know how he raised it,
which is really the Important mat
ter. Fairs show the results of good
farming; essays by good farmers
would show the means.

COLUMBIA, March 22.-The Sec
end detachment of the second lot Of
Immigrants arrived duly this morn
Ing, all tagged" With cards in their
button-holes addressed to Col. Butler.
The commissioner pTonounces them
the best and sturdiest he ever saw.
The women seem IS used to hard
work as the men, and all are fresh col.
ored and robust. The newcomers
strolled about the streets this evening
contributing greatly to the interest of
the citizens
It is curious to watch the attitude
of the negroes toward them. They
evidently scent danger of competition
in the robust foreigners, aud eye them
askance, wondering to each other
Why dem people can't stay in dey
own place, stead of come hyar fur
wuk in State wen we got nuf people
already?' This feeling iswidespread,
aud besides they say that it is new
device of the "Dinocrats to whip We"
and are uneasy accordingly. The
wholesome fear of competition shows
how very appropriate the Influx is.
There is no difficulty in Opposing of
the Immigrants. Mr.. A. D. Holler
to-day took the first ten to Rock Hill
for his farm, and Mr. W. H. BartIess,
of Hampton c. Il, took this evening
two married uen and their families
and four bachelors to work at his
saw mill in that town "of magnificent
distances and help fill it up. Mr..
J. B. Stribling will take the rest Of
the second party, sou,e seven families,
to Westminster, Oeonec County, to-
morrow morning.
They don's stop coming, however.
a telegram this evening announces
the departure to-day of seven families
more from New York for Colun bia,
consisting of sixteen adults aud tweo-
ty-uire persons in all. They will ar
rive on Friday morning, and will
make seventy four persons colonized
during the first week.
Soue of the arrivals to-day were
Gernanized Poles. They all looked
very quaint, traversing the streets puff,
Ing lous-stem;ued pipes and escorsiDg
their fraus and red-capped children.

BONNETS AND PARASOLS.

The most essential quality Of the
new bonnet is yellowness. White
straws are quite out Of date and black
also are in minority but all the yel-
low straws such as Tuscan, Leghorn,
Belgian or Neapolitan will be very
fashionable. AS for open work and
fancy straws, there is no end, but
these latter styles are usually in close
cottage or poke shapes while the bats
with wide, taucifully turned brimo are
of close woven straw. Ribbons are
plaidcd aud striped to match dresses
The parasol is now matter Of great
momcut and quite as important as the
new bonnet. Both of course must be
in accordance; so We find parasols
affected by all the new striped aud
plaided ideas. The Princess and the
Duchess are the two Leading styles ;
the former showing the outer coy
ering composed of two pieces !;
the latter Of three. Beautiful and
varied results are brought about by
contrasts between the different pieces
and yet greater variety is given by
alterations OF color in the liniugs
which are set behind the ribs ofwhich
twelve is now the stylish number.
But unique parasoIs have Innings Of
one color throughout except one
panel which of a contrasting color Las
painted on it bird or an animal-a
stork, swan, elephant, monkey, etc.
Favorite ornamentations are jet or
steal beads or Spanish lace sewn down
50 tightly as to resemble fine cul-
broidery. Other paraso!s are almost.
covered with rutfles of narrow Spanish
lace or single iall of wider may finish
the edges. But many handsome
parasols are without edgiug Of any
kind.
Coventry tapes ere considered quite
the thing in the way Of marking. The
texture is very fine and the prcttleSt
initial letters in fast Turkey red are
woven on them. These are cut off as
desired and placed On underclothing
or household linen. The letters are of
different sizes; single letter Can be
sewn on or the entire name or there
tuay be handsome monogram.
