Mr.. HIYs Farm and Garden Notes.

Remember March is the busy month. The first
thought for the farmer should be for the grasses
Select three or four kinds for trial and put them in
with grain oats are perhaps to be preferred, and to
be rolled in, or put in with harrow and should be
all in by the 10th to the 18TH Next come the early
Irish potatoes then peas and onions, pie plant and
asparagus for the garden After the 18th, ground
should be got ready for all kinds of crops but be
sure to get in all the extra early seeds and plants
possible before that time, it will greatly lessen the
pressure of work which must be done from that time
until the middle Of April. All kinds of fruit trees
and shrubbery should be put in in this month In
short, keep it in mind that this month forms the
head of the great moving column of the coming year

No doubt she is keeping it sort of surprise to be

told that our friends in England have raised "suf-

gentleman, you may SO wish, but your wish is the
father of an evil thought; neither Tennessee nor the
South will be hurt bysuch attacks yours. We can
defend ourselves easily and read your remarks with
a light heart. Lest however you should accuse us
of ngratitude, we will not close without thanking
you very heartily for the amusement your silly little

The Rugbeian. (Rugby, Morgan Co., Tenn.) 1881-1882, 1881-03-01

In the January and February numbers of the
RUGBEIAN we have referred to the criticism, friendly
and unfriendly, to which Rugby and its founders
have been subjected Those of our contemporaries,
and other critics, who have treated courteously,
we have thanked for their kindness, and those who
have shown ill will and malice we have let alone.
We have so acted in the hope that the inventive
powers of our playful friends would soon be ex
hausted but no. here is another ebullition of petty
spite, which is striking not on account of the ele
gance of its language, but by reason of the number
of false statements crowded into small space. The
gentleman who gives the Louisville Courier Journal
the following information has either wllfully msled
that paper, or has been most egregiously duped him
self:
RUGBY COLONY TO BE REMOVED.
gentleman from the East gives the information
that the Rugby colony is to be bodily removed from
Tennessee to Minnesota. Mr. Hughes stated in
Boston that he and his fellow-helpers had been
grievously cheated by the land-sharks from whom
they bought the tract The land is not at all pro-
ductive; water is not to be had without boring $50
feet, and many circumstances oppose the ultimate
success of the colony, no matter how long it might
remain there
nists-absoutely free; the friends of the enterprise
in England have raised sufficient means wherewith
to transport them to that State and the removal will
shortly be effected.
This is greatly to be regretted, the colonsts are
all men of thrift and some means, none being ad-
mitted with less than $500, and the deception prac-
ticed upon these phanthropists will initiate against
Tennessee and the South generally.
Alas the poor Rugbeians are as yet quite un
aware of the fate in store for them 1t is possible
that the gentleman from the East" knows more of
their affairs than they do themselves but at present
they have no intention of being removed g bodily !"
or otherwise.
Doubtless Minnesota, or e5vn Kentucky, would be
glad to get them and their money, but they are in
Tennessee, and in Tennessee they intend to remain
Perhaps the gentleman from the East" is not aware
that Mr.. Hughes has been here and seen the land,
as have also two Of his co-drectors he is well
pleased with what he saw, and does not consider
himself cheated. "The land is not productive"
no, it is not productive of fevers malaria, and the
like, but in fruits, vegetables, etc. it can do pretty
we'll 'Water is not to be had without boring 2so
feet" Our friend must have made slip of the pen,
he probably meant IS, and even this figure might be
divided by IS and be nearer the truth.
What "other circumstances oppose the ultimate
success Of the colony" not told this is real
ly unkind, it makes us nervous to think of the un-
known rocks ahead. Whoever else has been unkind
to u.s. Minnesota at least has come to our aid. She
has granted us "suficient land" 1--WE want about

Q.J4U'
The Month.

The past month has done little to alter the condi-
tons of plant life in this locality. The buds on
few trees are perhaps little larger; the four tiny
brown petals, which, closely folded each other
and pressed together into the semblance of hard
round BUTTON represent the future blossoms of the
dogwood tree are the least bit larger and softer than
they have been through the winter the evergreen
leaves of the trailing arbutus shelter punches of buds
which, although still SMALL show traces of pink and
white above the rough calyx. But except for
such faint STRINGS of life, there is no change to be
seen in trees or shrubs and we shall have to wait
the advent of spring to chronicle the outburst of
green leaves and flowers, which is ce1ain to come
with it. NY MNAvll
DR.. AGNEw, of New York, and Messrs. Russell
Sturgis Jr., and Franklin w. Smith, of Boston, are
expected here in the course of the present month

The Horseshoe.

From the smithy and from old Dob
bins feet the horseshoe has galloped,
SO to speak, into public favor and the
best society 1t has become the fashion,
and presently, like other fashions. Il
will have had its day-it will become a
thing of yesterday, and return, perhaps,
to its native obsourity, from which a
pleasant superstition has no doubt res
cued it for the non ce, and we shall won
der, perchance, that we could ever have
deemed 1t suitable decoration for our
walls and persons. From the innumer-
able representations Of it which we
meet at every hands turn. in the shop
windows, in the ears OF womankind, in
the cravats Of mankind, on the canvas
OF the artist, or growing under the skill
full fingers of the embroiderer, one
would believe that it was going to rain
luck but while its popularity is owing
chiefly to its fictitious influence over
destiny, yet it is sufficiently beautiful
in its design to earn consideration for
its own intrinsic worth as we'll as for
imaginary properties. At the same
time, she who finds well-worn horse
shoe in the street is loath to gainsay
the pretty fancy that it brings her good
fortune; that luck is travelling posthaste
toward her and, however cultured she
may be-a Vassar girl or q Harvard
Annex-she will anxiously count the
nails left in her trophy, which predict
the number Of years before her wedding
bells shall ring. No doubt this legend
descended to us from those northern
people who held the horse himself as
an object OF reverence, and believed
him endowed with q power Of divina-
tion; naturally his very shoes inherited
this miraculous attribute. The vivid
imaginations Of the north, scintillating
like its aurora and its dazzling constei.
lations, knew how to transform this
humble piece Of metal into something
precious. Later generations have hung
their nosegays upon it, but it had al
ready been endowed with such spells
and virtues that we can hardly disbe-
lieve In its efficacy il we would. Ore
might suppose that all sorts of good
fortune must descend upon those who
carried the horseshoe upon their coats
of-arms, like the family of Henry de
Feues, fsrrier to William the Conaueror.

and made luck possible. But the non

Bob TOombs and His Brass Band.

suppose every one connected in any
way with the University of Georgia has
heard of the famous oak in front Of the
chapel, and in connection with ii will
relate an anecdote OF Bob Toombs,
showing his impetuous, irresistible ma
ture, which so characterized him in his
after life.
Toombs had been attending college
two years, and was within week OF
graduating, when, in difficulty, he
stabbed one of the students, infiicting O
serious but not fatal wound. For this
act he was expelled by the faculty, who
soon after We're petitioned by the grad
uating class to allow him TO finish with
them, as he had SO nearly completed his
course, and had also been given a
speakers place. Toombs himself
petitioned them, but both were refused.
He apparently submitted, but on
commencement day, when the chapel
was crowded with visitors, and the
seniors vehemently Grating preparatory
to receiving their diplomas, he stationed
a.bruss band under the spreading limbs
of the oak, whose music succeeded In
bringing scores of town people, who
were not then in the chapel, and also Of
clearing it Of nearly all its audience.
Then, in as cool manner as possible,
he placed himself in chair and made an
oration such, il is said, rs was never
spoken by q student here before or since.
He never received his diploma, though
after his celebrated Boston speech il was
sent to him, but was returned with the
answer, the diploma; when il
would have been an honor to me 1 was
refused it; now, when l am an honor to
it, ii is offered me-" He was afterward
reconciled with the faculty, and is now
one Of the stanchest supporters Of the
college,-Alaata Consultation.

MashingtOn Etlauette.

Questions of etiquette are sometimes
very troublesome in Washington, and
all the more because very many of the
denizens of that city, who come from
distant and rural homes, know and care
nothing about etiquette. How little
the honorable gentleman from Symmes'
Hole suspects, as he is asked to take
Mrs Senator Red Velvet to dinner, that
tho chair in which he shall sit, and the
lady whom he shall hand out have been
subjects of long and anxious deliber,
alton. 1t is easy to call on Wormley-
or Welcker, or Pinard, or some other
chef, and order o dinner for twenty.
But who shall sit where, and who shall
hand whom p-these are the questions
which cause vexation and anguish. A
distinguished official gentleman in
Washington gave q noble repast in
honor OF noted guest. 1t was ordered
OF the proper purveyor. "Now," said
the host, when he had babe no expense
to be spared, / don't know anything
about the business OF seating people
correctly. You must attend to that
too. The purveyor went straight to
another distinguished man, who had
not been invited to the dinner because
il would not be agreeable to some other
distinguished man who was invited,
and distinguished man number one was
immensely amused that he was called
upon to seat the guests ct dinnor to
which he was not himself invited.
1t is all the more perplexing because,
although Washington is always full OF
official persons who are really indiffer-
emit to etiquette, and who greet il with
hearty democratic laugh, yet ecause
Of its official population there has been
nom the first especial attention paid by
experts to the subject. Washington
took grave counsel upon it. and Hamil-
ton gave him 81 mo canons OF behavior
in writing, and there is alleged to be o
more rigid syAtem of social etiquette
among official persons in Washington
than is to be found in any circle else
where In the country. There are as
serted to be due rules for the "first
calling" of Senators wives, and the
wives Of members OF the cabinet and of
justices of the supreme court. Preoe-
dence at table Is also knotty point in-
volving great trouble of soul. Some
years ago senator gave q dinner to
which the secretary of state was in
yited. When dinner was announced the
host turned to the senior senator, the
dean OF the senatorial chamber, and
asked him to take the lady Of the house
to table. The senior senator hesitated,
saying to his colleague that the secre-
tary OF state was in the room. "Pshawl
We senators make secretaries of state"

Temperance Legislation In Different
States

The Connecticut legislature has SO
amended Its license law that no liquor
shall be sold or given away in any
building belonging to or under control
of the state, and no license can be gran
ted TO any sheriff or constable.
The North Carolina legislature has
passed bill prohibiting the sale or
purchase of any spirituous liquors except
wine and cider under heavy penalties.
At q given date in August the people
are to vote upon 1t, and II they ratify II
at that election, 1t will 60 into effect In
October.
The Nebraska legislature has passed
license law ich.requires In cities OF
over ten thousand inhabitants license
fee of $1,000, and for,the rest of the state
fee Of $500. But before this license
can be granted, thirty petitioners mnst
certify to the responsibility of the APP
piicant, and three bondsmen must JUS
tify in $4,000 each. The keepers aud
bondsmen are responsible for all direct
aud indirect damages. There can be
no blinds, paint or covers on doors OF
windows of saloons, or any games in
the buildings on Sunday. Druggist
must comply with all these require.
ments, keep register of person, age,
sex, date and amount sold, and swear
once month to the city clerk that 1t is
correct.
In Texas, q bill to submit constitu-
tional amendment prohibiting the i'm
portation in the state except for medi-
cinal and sacramental purposes has
passed the senate by vote Of twenty
three to seven. 8 - hsf
The bill before the Indiana legisla-
ture is very stringent for license law.
1t provides that before selling, the ven
dor of the liquor shall obtain the writ
ten consent of half the voters resident
In his ward, town or township, and
pay q license fee of two hundred and
fifty dollars.
The Arkansas house of representa-
tives has passed a joint resolution pro-
posing an amendment to the constitu-
tion prohibiting the sale of liquor in
the state, by a vote of sixty-seven to
seventeen.
In Missouri, the House Committee
on institutional amendments has re-
ported favorably the concurrent resolu-
ton submitting to the voters of the
state prohibitory amendment
In Connecticut, the proposition to
submit prohibitory amendment to the
stste constitution was defeated by a
large majority.
The new license law of Mississippi re-
quires that a saloon keeper must give q
bond OF $4,000, with two or moro sure
ties.
The facts noted above have signifi-
canoe that it would be welJao consider.
They testify unmistakably that tie
burden imposed upon the people by
the liquor traffic is too great to be en-
dured much longer. II Is distinctlyDan-
nounced In such action that the traffic
