Culture of New Tobaccos.
Nashville Banner.

Knowing that Col. KillebreW had
made some experiments in the cul-
ture of varieties of tobacco, new
IN Tennessee, we have procured
from him the facts and some sam
pies of the leaf raised. These ex-
periments and others ought to be
the means of leading Tennessee
planters away from the cultivation
of the lowest kinds used to those
which supply the incest tastes, and
hence bring the highest prices.
With Pennsylvania seed leaf,
Col. Killebrew thinks he has been
eminently successful. Notwithstand-
ing the drouth, the yield was about
fifteen hundred pounds per acre.
The color is fine, but it has not yet
passed through the sweat. The
Pennsylvania farmer sell in large
bundles unassorted, before the
sweat the price after that is almost
double. Before, it ranges from
eighteen cents for wrappers to eight
for binders and three to four for
filters. The White Burley, which
has proved valuable elsewhere, he
planted ON a hill with light soil
and on new ground. The drouth
was severe and the yield was about
six hundred pounds. This he sets
down as a failure, but does not at
tribute it to the tobacco.
The Little Dutch, cultivated only
in the Miami Valley, from seed
originally brought from Germany,
and perhaps originally a Cuba to-
bacco, produced from three hun
dred and fifty to four hundred
pounds. This runs in price from
twenty-five cents to one dollar a
pound. The leaf is small, in cigar
terms, of medium color as it is, un-
sweated and entirely new. We
have tried it in that condition and
found 1t, in a crude cigar, to Durn
with white ash to the end, and
with a delicious flavor. 1t is, even
in its fresh. and new condition a
delicious smoking tobacco for the
pipe. 1t is well worth experiment
ing in by our cigar makers.
We nope these experiments will
go on. Tennessee planters need to
learn how to discard some old
things and grasp every thing new
which will pay, and especially, in
tobacco, to stop cultivating the low
price shipping and other tobaccOs
for those which command the best
prices. They need to cease to be
fossil and to leave rude-cuiture
crops to those who will stay behind
the rest of the world. We have al
lowed our old grandmother, North
Carolina, TO pass by US in that
respect.

Home without a woman.
Exchange.

In the goodness of our hearts can
we not pity the occupants of home
without a woman? Such a home
how rayless, sad and Ionelyl AS
bereft of charms as a rOSebuSh with
out its crimson roses! DesOlate as
the desert without its CHEEKY restful
oasis! Free of loves sweetest fra
GRANGE as the garden without its
darling flowers! A home without
woman! AS well might day be
without its blazing sun, or night
without its lunar and diadem of
dazzling stars! Truly they are to
be pitied who live in earth's isolat-
ed retreats away from Woman's low
ing charms. Twice blessed is he
who daily basks in the sunshiny
of mother, wife or sister. His home
should be an earthly paradise, a fit
emblem of the habitation beyond
the skies, Fair readers, let your
hearts go out in purest sympathy
for those poor, lone beings, who
have not mothers loving counsel,
a Wife's holy WoOing, or sisters
tWing affections. Their homes are
upon earth's desert waste, or along
the rockbOund shores. Blot wO-
man from existence, and the world
would be in midnight darkness.
She is the light of the world, mans
brightest flower, the poets grandest
theme. Where woman dwells not
the home is without it's charms and
angel of peace. o man, be not lack
ing woman's praise; her sweet in
fiuences are as vast as the ocean and
as high as the heavens. Let her
name be inscribed upon the scroll
of fame and every home on earth
enjoy her benignant charms.

A F0ung Wife Plays Il Practical
Joke and Is Pam
ished.
Burlington Hawkeye.

A Burlington man recently we'd
ded a young wife. The lady be-
came enthused over Will Carleton's
tale OF the elopement of a handsome
young woman with a "handSOmer
man." and determined to try the
same thing herself. She wrote a
neat little note, stating that she left
home with gentleman whom she
had dearly loved before sha had met
her husband. and that he need not
trouble himself to look for them.
Then she called in her younger
brother and went calling with him,
arranging to return and hide where
she could witness her liege lords
dismay when he came to read of her
flight. She from her place of con-
cealment saw him enter, saw him
look all around in surprise at her alb
sence, and finally saw him discover
the note. He opened and read it,
while her heart beat high with eX-
citement in anticipation of the out
break she expected to hear.
The poor fellow finished the cruel
missive, tore it up and threw the
fragments on the floor, and then,
without warning, drew Il revolver
and fired point blank at his breast,
and fell without a sign of life to the
carpet. With a terrified scream,
the woman was at her hurband's
side in a moment, lifting his head,
rolling him, shaking him, turning
him, and hunting for blood, all the
time shrieking to her William to
speak to her, to forgive her, to only
look at her. William lay motiOnless,
however, and the neighborhood,
aroused by the shot and screams \
came focking in to learn of the ex-
when suddenly, when a
score or more had gathered, the
dead leaped up from the floor as
well as ever, at which the wife
tainted away. She soon revived,
however, and then it all came out
that the younger brother being in
sympathy with William, had let
him into the scheme, and he had cho-
sen that mode of Furnishing his jok-
ing wife. She jokes no more, but
her husband has compromised on Il
pony pheton to keep peace in the
family.

A Sensible Conclusion.

The conduct of President Gar
fields physicians during his illness
did not always commend itself tc
public approval, and the autopsy
showed that there had been a seri
Gus misapprehension on their part
in regard to the extent and location
of the wound; but we dare say
they did the best that could be
done, so far as the treatment was
concerned, and doubtless no medi-
cal skill could have changed the re.
suit.
Now comes the quetiQn of their
compensation.
A short time ago it seemed prob
able that this would give rise to an
acrimonious controversy. Accord
ing to the various statements pub
Iished, each physician wanted the
lions share of the appropriation for
himself, and was inclined to place
rather low estimate on the servi
ces of the others.
Thus one account stated that DIR.
Bliss thought he ought to have fif-
ty thousand dollars.
1t is pleasant to be assured that
there is to be nothing like quarrel
over the coffin of the dead presi-
dent. DR., Bliss is authority for the
announcement that neither he nor
the other physicians will present any
bills to the congressional commit
tee which is to pass upon their com
pensation. He says they are con
tent to receive whatever congress
may give,
This determination on their part
is a sensible conclusion, and they
ought to adhere tC it.

Literatura for Revs.

: The old fashioned stories which
the unhappy boys of the last gener-
alton read have been succeeded BY
the manly and fascinating criminal
novel. In the old story. books it
was assumed that truthfulness, hon
esty, and obedience TO parents were
virtues, end that the christian relig-
ion was not wholly devoid of merit.
If these views were not directly
taught il the Juvenile litera
ture Of our fathers, at all events
they were never directly or indi-
rectly attacked. Boys could learn
nothing from their story-bOoks eX-
celt preposterols platitudes-noth-
ing that'was of any practical use, OF
that tended TO develop in them
manly and brilliant traits. No such
complaint can be made of the dime
and half-dime novels of the crimir al
school which are now read by all
our boys, either openly or secretly.
In these delightful stories, new
forms of profanity and slang are
taught in the most effective way.
The pleasures of burglary and high
way robbery, the manliness of gam
bling and fighting, and the heroism
OF successful lying, are set forth in
what is regarded by youthful read
ers as glowing eloquence; while the
great truths that all parents are ty-
rants, that all religious people are
hypocrites, and that disobedience
to fathers and teachers is obedience
to the nobler instincts of juvenile
nature, are sedulously taught. Such
stories as these develop all that is
manly and lawless in our boys, and
teach them lessons that can not fail {
to be of immense service to them IN
whatever criminal career they may
adopt.
There are q few fashioned
people who denounce the new juve
nile literature in unsparing terms; l
but that nearly all fathers approve q
oi it is self evident They know S
hat their boys are reading novels v
Illustrative of the excellence of a
crime, but they make no effort to
suppress that sort of literature, as c
hey certainly would do did they 8
lisapprove of it. Nothing would a
'e simpler than to drive those nov a
lis out OF existence. All that it II
would be necessary to do would be a

Iently is that fathers either do not n

The latest novel invention, the

ratus consists of small collective"

connected by an electric wire with
diminutive white glass plate,
which may be framed and set in the
panel of a private drawing room,

The Shadows on the Graves.

II China ancestors are held 10 Pc
cu!iar reverence. The Chinese look
upon the casting of a shadow over
an ancestors grave as an insult. and
resent it with impetuous anger.
Chinese ancestors are buried, not
in large cemeteries, but in the fami-
ly burial grounds. AS China is
thickly inhabited, the result is that
an ancestors bones may be found
resting beneath every few rods OF
turf. Hence a novel cause of trouble
to a telegraph company in that
country. The company erected
poles on which TO hang the wires.
The poles and wires cast necessa-
rIIy more or less OF a shadow.
Every Chinaman on whose ances-
tors grave n shadow rested forth
with arose in his wrath and cut
down the poles The consequence
has been. as q matter OF economy
and self-protectioD, the company
has placed the wires underground.
Reverence for the dead in China
has accom- plished what regard for
the comfort and safety of the living
has as yet been unable TO accom-
plish in this country.

An Inspired" Female Faster.

A woman has died in Alexandria,
Va, in consequence of the result OF
what she called inspiration. She
claimed that God had inspired her
to commit suicide by ia ting. TIC
this end she began about sixty
days ago to abstain from food. She
has struggled along IN slow sort
of way, becoming thinner and
thinner all the time, and at last ex.
hiring from lack of nourishmcnt
Sly friends managed to put milk an
the water she drank, but this imita-
tion of the practices of the milkmen
afforded her small relief. Then
they tried to give her condensed ex
tract of beef with her medicine
But she obstinately refused both
medicine and beef, insisting on
wasting away and carrying out
what she thought the inspired com
mand of the Almighty. The course
of this woman affords a wholesome
hint to all cranks who think they
are dIvinely inspired to kill some
body. Let them work out the IN
spiration on their own persons sno
put themselves to deat1, instead ot
Staying some 10 'sibly valuable
member Of society. This slarva
ton feminine crank, however. con
tribued an item to science for which
science should be grateful II seems

who claim to speak by authority
that she was for forty-three days
absolutely without food.

A Years Work on Dram-selling.

Carefully computed statistics show
that sixty thousand lives are annu.
ally destroyed by intemperance in
the United States.
One hundred thousand men and
women are yearly sent to prison in
consequence of strong drink.
Twenty thousand children are
yearly sent TO the poor house for the
same reason.
Three hundred murders are an
other of the yearly fruits Of intem-
perance.
-Four hundred suicides follow
these fearful catalogues Of miseries.
Two hundred thousand orphans
are bequeathed each year to private
and public charity.
Two hundred million dollars are
yearly expended to produce this
shocking amount OF crime and mis-
cry, and as much more is lost from
the same cause.
