Past Literary Indeoencies Present Pru-
riency.

Our modern familiarity with the intellectual
work of all times and races has made people
perceive that in past days indecency was al
ways part and parcel of literature, and that
TO try to weed it ont is TO completely alter
the character Of at least a good half of the
literature of the past. Hence, some of us
moGerns, shaken we are in all our conven-
tional ideas, have argued that this so-called
indecency is a legitimate portion of all litera-
ture, and that the sooner it is re-inirodnced
into that of the present the better, if our liter
allure is TO be really vital and honest Now,
these people do not perceive that the itera-
ture of the past contained indecencies, merely
because, being infinitely less self-conscious,
less responsible than now, tie literature of
the past contained fragments of every portion
of the civilization which produced it. For
besides what might call absolute indecency,
in the sense Of pruriency, the literature of the
past is full Of filth pure and simple, like some
eastern town; a sure proof of this, that if Ger
tain subjects which we taboo were not taboo
ed then, it was not from any conscious notion
Of their Legitimacy, but from general habit Of
making literature, like the street OF some
original or medieval town, The scene of every
sort OF human action; important or trilling,
noble or vile; regarding it as the place for
which the finest works were painted or carved,
and into which all the Stops were emptied.
Hence, in our wanderings through the litera
ture of the past, our feet are forever stumbling
into pools of filth, while our eyes are seeking
for the splendid traceries, the gorgeous colors
above; our stomachs are turned by stenches
even while we are weeping in at some wonder

Tho Discovery of the Thobes Antiquitie.


1t was remarked by the authorities of Upper
Egypt during the earlier part of the year that
an unusual quantity Of antiquities, papyri,
statues, pieces of mummy cases, ETC., were
offered for sale by the natives. A suspicion
was caused by this fact, and the matter
reported to the Viceroy, who sent Herr E.
Brugsch to Upper Egypt to investigate and
endeavor to ina out the reason His iuvesti-
cations soon proved to his satisfaction the fact
that more was known of the valued treasure
than should be confled to the sole keeping Of
such people as the natives, whose only rever-
ence for the antiquities is in exact proportion
TO the amount Of sovereigns or piastres they
can secure in exchange. More careful and
systematic investigation very soon enabled
Herr Brngsch 10 discover the native who was
in possession of the desired secret, and he was
called to give ali account of all he knew. To
those knowing the country it is needless to
remark the native was entirely ignorant of
any tomb or valuable. However, he was
given six hours to make up his mind and
receive the reward for disclosing his secret.
Fair means failing, and the six hours having
passed without the man presenting himself, an
order was issued for his arrest, and as he still
pleaded ignorance he was put into prison.
Meanwhile the fact travelled to his brother,
with whom he had quarrel, and, it being a
fine opportunity for revenge, he disclosed the
whole secret and conducted Herr Brugsch to
the tomb, in which were such treasures ne
never yet have been discovered, and one cah-
not but regret that the late Marietta Pacha is
not alive to participate in the wonders which
it is now the good fortune of NJ. G. Maspero TO
be the medium of giving to the world. At
Dayr-el-Bahari, or the Northern Convent in
the Libyan Mountains, was the pit or tomb,
about thirty feet deep, cut into the solid rock,
and leading into a gallery about $50 feet long,
and ;ull of the most perfect antiquities yet
exhumed. For several minutes Herr Brugsch
remained in silent awe, over-powered by the
grand sight of the splendid wonders, unable
to do anything but gaze at the magnificent
cases containing the mummies of Egypt's past
kings and queens, papyri, statues, etc. Steps
were at once taken to remove all to Cairo, and
a steamer was few days afterward on its
way with the whole collection bound for the
museum, where everything now is.

as they will continually sow them

utilizing Elephant Power.

Almost all the vehicles and other
property of the London circus, which
arrived in Bridgeport Saturday night,
have been housed. One feature of the
work of getting the effects under cover
was novel and interesting. Some of
the chariots are very heavy, weighing
several tons, and were sunk deeply in
the soft soil. Too many horses to be
used conveniently would have been
required, ami accordingly the elephant
trainer brought two Of the sixteen ele-
plants Of the herd into requisition.-
1t was interesting to see how inteli-
gently the beasts did what was requir-
ed Of them, and to observe their ire
mendous strength. Turning their
Trunks around the hubs or the spokes,
they lifted the vehicles out of the ruts
and after carrying them into the build
ing, shifted them TO any position de-
sired. One of the chariots, which they
picked up with ease, weighed five tons.
1t was not always easy for them to
take hold of their load so that it bal
anced well between them, but they in-
variably succeeded after while in
getting everything adjusted.-New

TOMATO GROwER;.

Mr.. Calvin Brown, from Anna,
Illinois, is making a speciality of rails
ing early tomatoes for the Western
market this season. A few days ago
we visited his place, where he is max
ing preparations to plant out four or
five acres in tomatoes. We found Mr..
Brown in his shirt sleeves, and hard
at work, and therefore incurs very
little expense, as he does nearly all the
work himself, and has just transferred
5000 tomato plants from the hot-bed
to the cold frames. The plants have
already put out two and three leaves,
and look very fine. The Acme and
the Trophy are the varieties mostly
planted. Mr.. Brown has besides,
about ten or fifteen acres planted in
strawberries, in addition to several
acres which were planted a few years
ago. He and his father came from
Illinois about three years ago, and
was followed by Mr.. Day, who has
settled three or four miles from town.
They are all hard, industrious work
ers, and we think are, bound to sue
coed. We need 10000 just such men,
who are not afraid Of work, and be-
lieve there is money in something else
besides cotton.
Mr.. V. Piazza and his nephew are
also raising tomatoes largely this year
for market, and heretofore have made
it pay quite well. He no doubt will
plant out two or three acres. His
mode of training and pruning has
been great success, and enabled the
bulk of the tomato crop to he in mar
ket before prices went down. Grow
ing early tomatoes for market is very
troublesome, but if the fruit can be
made to ripen very early, i; is consid-
cred to be more profitable than any
other vegetable crop.
Vegetables, like cotton, and every
thing else, in order to be made a sue
cess must be diversified, and it won't
do to depend on tomatoes alone.
They may be profitable one year, and
next year fail. We must diversity our
crops or we can't be successful work.

We, heard a gentleman say that he
knew several farmers who were SO de-
pressed by the protracted rains that
we have been having, that they con-
cluded there was no use in planting a
crop. They believe all Prof 'Hce's
weather representations, and say
storms and rains must continue.
Prof. Tice predicted that we would
have rain last week, but it was as
calm and genial spring weather as
could be wished for. He guesses cor
rectly sometimes about the weather,
but fails to hit it as often as he CUES
SEES correctly. Venor, of Canada, has
missed it so often that he is not listen
ed to any longer. The Signal Service
Bureau is no doubt correct, and can
tell what the weather will do several
days beforehand; but when it comes
to predicting the condition of the
weather weeks and months ahead, we
believe it to be sheer nonsense.
What effect the conjunction of the
planets, and the approach of comets
may nave on the changes of weather,
is altogether conjectured. They may
produce certain weather perturba-
tions, but they can not be fortified by
any definite calculations. The wealth
err is governed by certain electrical con-
ditions which are always changing,
and there may be forces at work pro-
ducing certain changes to-day, which
will not occur tomorrow.
Old Probs, as he is familiarity called,
rarely fails to make correct predc-
tons about the weather, but it is done
by the aid of that wonderful instru-
ment-the telegraph--through the me-
dunn of which the currents and direc-
ton of the winds are always accurate
ly ascertained. When the velocity
and direction of the winds are found
out it is not hard to find out what the
weather will be.
The man who is always looking at
the sky will neither SOW nor reap.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof" and there is no need of
always prying into the future and
hunting up calamities. We have
enough to do to meet the issues and
responsibilities of the present. Let us
all perform our duty, and the immu-
table laws Of nature will govern them
selves. Planets, and stars, and suns,
have been revolving tremendously in
their orbits since the shepherds watch
ed their flocks on the plains Of Baby
Ion, and they are still guided by the
same Omipotent hands as then.

We are firm believers in the Spanish
proverb that the foot of the sheep
turns the soil TO gold, and the reasons
for the faith which is in us, is as
follows
Nearly thirty years ago, a young
Virginian came into possession of
some 500 acres of land in the Pied
mont region, close under the Blue
Ridge. His farm, originally of good
strong red land, had been reduced by
improvident culture almost TO absolute
barrenncss; briers, brambles, sedge,
and the pestilent sassafras, had taken
almost entire possession. Just about
this time, those admirable letters on
"Sheep Husbandry in the South" by
Randall, were being published by the
late John $. Skinner, i'm the Journal
of Agriculture. Our young Virginian
read them with the deepest interest,
and became convinced that he could
restore his impoverished Inheritance
TO its original fertility by means of
sheep. Having determined TO be-
come flock master, the next question
was to decide upon the variety of
sheep he should breed.-The heavy
long-wooled breeds, the Bakewells,
Oxford Downs, even the smaller South
Downs were unsuited to his scanty
pastures, and he had made up his
mind to lay In a stock of the common
native sheep. which were driven
through his country every year by
the Western drovers, and which could
be had at about 81 each. While
waiting for drover to come along he
fortunately heard of flock of some
merlno's 10 be had at a mere nominal
price, which he secured without delay.
They were precisely what he wanted
they were as hardy as the native
sheep, would bear as close packing,
while their wool and pelts were much
more valuable. His first operation
after the purchase Of the sheep was to
select twenty acre field, which he
cleared of brambIes and sassafras in
rough way with an ordinary brier
scythe, and the sheep were regularly
folded each night ON a surface of a
quarter of an acre until the spot YVES
well MANFRED. And so he proceeded
until the whole twenty acres had been
gone over, when he found that his
field was well fertilized with but
little cost.

Prospects for Wool.


The annual circular of James Lynch
gives the imports of wool into the
United States the past year as 55l
millions into New York, 432 millions
into BOSTON, and millions into Phil
adelphia, making 1871 millions in all,
and classifies this we believe for the
first time as 34l million pounds of
clothing and combing, of which 2S mil
lion was clothing 544 million pounds of
carpet woods, Of which New York inn
ported 80 millions, showing that New
York is far ahead in her foreign wool
trade of all the ports of the country
combined. These figures show that
we imported AZ million pounds more
wool the past year than the year be-
fore. Mr.. Lynch puts our home clip
of wool for 1880 at 264 million pounds.
The n. Y. Economist says "if his
figures are correct we shall have to
raise our estimate Of the coming year
from 2S5 to 300 Millions" and il saws
also that this estimate should not
brighten anybody because we can
easily work off 500 million pound into
cloth. The same journal says that
the wool and wooden interest was
never In better or sounder condition
than at present. Think of mills
declaring 10, Is and 20 per cent. divi-
dends and more, and putting the same
into sinking funds TO erect new mills
and put in new machinery.

Grass and Hay.

A Red River gentleman, editor of a
Red River journal, informed us a few
days since that the cotton planters in
his section Of the State are turning
their attention to grass and hay more
than formerly. One planter abandon
ed the culture Of cotton some years
since, and has been making hay
Last year his hay crop sold for So, 900.
Two tons Of good bay will bring in
the market about as much as a bale
Of cotton. Four tons Of hay can be
made 10 the acre, that would not
make bale Of cotton. -Four tons Of
hay can be made and baled for market
at less price than the cost 70 the
farmer Of a bale Of cotton. Why not
cut down the acreage Of cotton and
make more hay 10 sell, and more for
the home cattle? Why not sell cows,
and beef made on summer and winter
pastures and homemade hay mo.
