The girl after whom any number
of marrying men are looking has
been discovered again. In other
DAYS she has written a book or de-
veloped a phenomenal voice or shot
a number of dollars worth of wild
animals, or done something else
that secured local fame and cOnsid-
cradle money. This time she has
planted, cultivated, harvested, and
sold three hundred and fifty bushels
of wheat. 1t is needless to say that
a number of young fellows are wild
~ in love with that girl, and that
the list of suitOrs will rapidly in
crease as the record of her achieve
ment makes the rounds of the press.
A great deal is said about women
who marry merely for the sake of
being supported, but they are no
more numerous than men who long
for wives who will do work enough
to supply their husbands with bread
and butter, cigars aud drinks.
There are men in New York who
borrow their friends last dollar
rather than do Il days work in a
wheat field, yet would willingly en-
dow the Indiana girl with half of
their worldly debts, and do it with
the best plain gold ring that could
be bought ON the credit. They
would also, as soon as the wheat
crop was harvested, find business
calling them TO New York, and
keeping them here as long as the
money lasted or an advance could
be secured on the next crop.-NelC

The soush-Is. Brishtning Pros


Capitalists, it appears, begin to
understand what big bonanza the
south is, and are spending some Of
their odd millions in making il ac-
cessible by lines of railroad.
The south, with its population of
nlCre than twenty millions, looks to
the eye of a traveller Ikea thinly set
tlel wilderness. 1t has fertile soil
enOugh to support the population of
North America, and send besides a
few barrels OF flour to exc out bad
harvest in Europe. The excellence
of the climate is proved by the mag
niticent men that are reared there,
and the remarkable average of long
evisy enjoyed by families Of virtu-
Gus habits.
Whisky and tobacco will destroy
men at the South as well rs the
North; and probably, the warmth OF
the climate renders those pOisons
more rapidly destructive at the
south than in more temperatec limes.
But there are no finer specimens OF
our race to be found in the world
than in portions of the south, where
! the people are generally temperate
and nOraL. Accustomed to the sad
die and the gun from boyhood, and
not cramped. by excessive early
schooling, many of them attain a
blending vigor and grace OF man
hood that are nowhere exceiled.
For the southern states the long
night of adversely, we believe, has
| passed. The dawn of brighter and
better day than they have ever
known has come.

SURG Cnre for Hog Cholera.

The Lewistown, H., Gazette,
contains the following: every pa
per in the United States ought Oc-
casionally to keep the fact before
its readers that burnt corn is GER
tain and speedy cure for hog chol-
era. The best way is to make n
pile of corn, then give the effected
hogs free access to it. This remedy
was discovered by +. E. Lock, at
the time his distillery was burnt in
this country, together with lot of
store corn, which was so much in
iured as to be unfit for use and
greedily eaten by the hogs, several
of which were dying daily. After
the second day not a single hog
was lost, and the disease entirely
disappeared. The remedy has
been tried in number of cases
since, and has never failed.

Living Profit.

No one can live honestly with
out obtaining a sufficient profit from
his business. Excessively high
prices effect the trader, and with
him number of others with whom
he is obliged to come in contact.
We are not at loss for examples
of men who fail in business simply
because they are unable to make
sufficient profit. And most fire.
quently these failures happen to
those who have a fondness for trad
ing under pretence of giving some
thing for nothing. The terms on
which most traders buy are much
the Ss.me, bul it is in selling that
the difficulty arises. Coordination
i'm selling" would probably prove a
source of great benefit to most trad
ers, and something like a fair rate
of profit might be realized. Still
there are many obstacles in the
way, but obstacles of this nature eX-
isting among a very large class, can
only be overcome by unity. If the
question of store trading were vigO-
rously taken up, and a comprehen-
sive scheme for combination in sell
ing fairly discussed by the MEM
bers of the trade, some good might
be accomplished. If tradesman can
be made to agree on the one point
that cutting does no good to any
One-then something practical
might be done to obviate the ruin
Gus and Unnecessary low prices at
which nearly every article is sold.

sn,pio.s arenaer Rela.lons.,

A negro presented himself at the
desk of the Cincinnati marriage
license clerk the other day, and
asked for license TO marry his
Dulcinea. Among other problems
propOunded him was: -.
"Are you and the lady relates" ~
HYes, sah," was the answer.
"What relation are you to each

"Sah ?" calculated the applicant
for matrimonial honors.

Newspaper Nuisance.

Talmage very truthfully says,
that one of the greatest trials of the
newspaper profession is, that its
members are compelled to see more
shams of the world than any other
profession. Through every news
paper Office, day after day, go all
the weaknesses of the world, all the
vanities that want to. be puffed, all
the revenges that want to be reaped,
all the mistakes that want to be
corrected, all the dull speakers that
want to be eloquent, all the mean
ness that wants to get its wares no.
ticed in the editorial columns, all
the men who want to be set right
who were never right, all the crack
brain philosophers with stories
as long as their finger nails in
mourning because bereft of soap,
all the boys who come to stay about
five minutes bat talk five hours.
Through the editorial and repOrto-
rial rooms all the follies and shams
of the world are seen day after day,
and the temptation is to believe in
neither God, man or woman. 1t is
no surprise to me that in this pro-
fession there are so many skeptical
men. l only wonder journalists be-
lieve anything.

Testing the sums Heat,

A remarkable instrument, invent
ed by the distinguished Californian
astronomer, Professor Langly, and
called the bolometer, is about to be
employed in the course of some eX-
periments to determine the amount
of the suns heat. The summit of
Mt. Whitney has been selected as
the most favorable spot for making
these experiments, and party of
u persons under the lead of the
Professor are now en- route for that
point from San Francisco. The eX-
traordinary quality of the bolOme-
ter is it's extreme sensitiveness to
solar heat, and an idea of its delica-
cy may be formed from the state
ment that the Professor expects by
means of it to determine the radi-
ant energy of each separate ray in
the spectrum of the sun.

WE urge our readers, who can, to
take advantage of the advice given
i'm our last in regard TO planting
second crop Irish Potatoes. In
Mondays issue of the Nashville
Banner we read an article from a
farmer who lives in Kentucky. He
says they can be planted as late as
the 10Th of September, and if allow
ed to remain in the ground until the
middle of November you will be
be sure to raise a fine crop of seed
potatoes if nothing else. Be sure to
SprOut them, and then cut to one
eye. If you have a slide and water
barrel you can make a season wheth-
er it rains or not. Open the furroW
and run astride it, allowing the wat
er to run freely as you move along,
into it. Make it thoroughly wet
and then cover the potatoes about
two inches deep and drag the bal
ance of the dirt to the center, be-
| tween the rows, so that the seed
may not be hampeFed with too
much soil. He who does this. and
makes it a success will have plenty
of money when the day for selling
seed, in 1882, arrives. Besides this,
he will have potatoes for his table
during the winter.-SprinQfeId

When man chooses the profess

aside the delightful occupations
which have made her girlhood
pleasant; she must know that from

the mature man lies down in his

southern Manufactures

The Richmond State, In discuss
ing the wonderful movement now
going on in the South for the man
ufacture Of the cotton sfapIe at
home instead of sending it away to
be made up into shirtinos and
sheetings, offers suggestion which
seems to us to be Of force. r. saws !:
1t can be said, too, of all the
goods manufactured from cotton in
the South that they are infiuitelv
superior in every respect to those
made abroad or in New England.
and we are therefore not surprised
that New Ergland's capital has
found its way to the base OF opera
tons, where the advantages are SO
superior, save only, perhaps, in the
quality of the labor, but that, too,
must follow in brief time the cap
ital and the machinery. One fact
alone accounts for this and may be
noted, the fibre of the cotton IN the
South is nnbroken by the compress,
and therefore the goods made from
it cannot fail to be of superior
strength and fineness. The conn
press has always been the great en-
envy of the English and Northern
manufactures. 1T breaks up the
finest cotton and almost destroys it
for the use of the loom.
"This we avoid by taking it di-
rectly from the plantation and pre-
serving all its natural qualities, its
/ full strength, and the beauty of its
native luster."
If that statement is 4 sound one,
il will have telling effect in re-
commenting Southern cotton man
ufactured goods. Superior wearing
qualities always turn the scale, and
whenever the Southern goods get
this reputation they viii command
the market. The state is justified
| in saying: f-..@s.l,s.
GAS Virginia and Kentucky
manufacture their tobacco to be
sent abroad, instead of sending the
green or the dried leaf, so will they
aid their sisters of the cotton region
to make up that article into its most
valuable shape in future for ship
ment and sale in the great markets

This appears to us this season OF

there are no turnips to be had, and if
it were practicable it would be ex-

our advice to those who have the
