Forty years ago r. F. Wilson was q
poor country boy, residing in one OF
the mountain counties of Northeast
Georgia. Why he abandoned his quiet,
peaceful, frugal, happy home to try
his luck In the great lottery OF the
worlds jostle, IS matter Of no conse-
quence now, since it is fact that he
ventured and gained the prize. He is
the chief owner Of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia railroad and It's
branches, the Memphis and Charleston
and the Macon and Brunswick, or
what is known as the Cincinnati and
and Georgia, which, when the two
short links are completed, will dip
down fIom Chattanooga, via Rome,
Atlanta and Macon, TO the city OF
Brunswick. on the southeast coast OF
Georgia. He owns vast interests in
other roads, and has money, stocks,
bonds and real estate amounting to
several millions more. He made the
remark some weeks ago that he inten-
ded to come down south and build him
railroad of his own. A dispatch
from New Orleans, in the News of
Sunday morning. discloses the sequel.
His engineers have been over the line
from Memphis to New Orleans, and a
road running parallel with the Missis-
sippi perhaps skirting the food line
is to be constructed az quickly as men
and money can accomplish it. One of
Mr.. Wilson's partners, his brother-in-
law, VIM. NJ. Johnson, who accom-
panied the engineers, thiaks ''no road
in the south runs through as much good
cultivated land. and that the line, when
completed, will do larger business
than any new line ever built in the
south, as it runs through large sugar
and cotton plantations" Mr.. Johnson
and the engineers are probably correct
in their estimate.
No section east of the. Mississippi
presents better prospecats for railway
tonnage, and as the road will start
at deep water on the Gulf and connect
at Memphis with the Wilson system,
extending to deep water at Norfolk on
the Atlantic, the Importance. of the
line can well be conceived. Mr.. Will
son is of Irish parentage, and common
ced his railroad career in humble
capacity when the road was being
built from Macon to Atlanta, nearly
forty years ago. He is now one of the
kings of the rail, and his mileage is
second only to that of the Vanderbilt
and Gould systems. With great daring
in enterprise Mr.. Wilson has wonder
full caution, and with energy and quick
perception he combines discretion and
judgment. Take him all in all, he il
one of the shrewdest, safest, most
successful and most reliable business
men in the country.

Opera-GIass Whisky-FIask.

The latest thing out, and certainly
an article that will fill want long felt.
is an opera glass that will hold a half
pint of whisky. 1t is, in fact, a whis-
ky flask, with lenses and things Just
like an opera glass, and a pers-n can
take drink without going out between
acts. 1t can be used as an opera glass
with or without taking a drink. If
you want to take a drink there is a
little spring that you touch with the
little finger, when a silver tube drops
into the mouth, and the whisky flows
as easily as possible. 1t works best
when you point the opera glass up in
the gallery, because the act gives it the
natural incline. Quite number Of
these opera glasses are said to be in
use. and they give excellent satisfac-
ton. A party of four gentlemen had
one between them at the theatre one
night, and though they have been
regular corn TANNERS heretofore, going
out between the acts with unfailing
regularity and walking over whole
rows of people, on this occasion they
did not go out until the third act, when
the opera glass ran dry. 1t was anus
ing to see them take turns with that
opera glass, looking up in the gallery
at some imaginary acquaintance. One
would take the glass and look up and
take drink, and bow to somebody UP.

and he would look up. The last one
to drink out of it came near giving the
whole scheme away by shaking ii
when it refused to give down. After
the last drink the gentlemen sat in
solemn silence for ten minutes, and
then they could not stand it longer, sc
they got up and filed out for drink
Quite number of ladies have beer
noticed looking up into the gallery
with opera glasses, but we cannot
think they have secured these new
TASKS. However, if they have not they
had better be careful about looking w
high for time, for fear people viii

Anerican Agricultuust for July
Buckwheat is the latest grain crop
Of the season, and in the latitude of
New York is usually sown from the
last of June to the middle of July.
1t is frequently sown as a filling
crop, that Is, on ground where
some other crop has failed. 1t makes
an excellent cleansing crop on the foul
or rough land, especially upon rich
soil where it makes rank growth and
smothers out all other plants. Buck
wheat Is used to somc extent as a green
manure to be turned under for wheat
or rye. The buckwheat plant is a
deep feeder, and has the power of
obtaining the food elements when
present only in small quantities in the
soil. Light sandy soils, deficient in
vegetable matter, can be brought up to
a good state of cultivation by first
growing buckwheat as green
manure crop, followed by clover which
is afterwards turned under. Though
buckwheat will grow On comparatively
poor soil, it makes good use of light
dressing OF barn-yard manure or some
quick-acting fertilizer. A hundred
pounds of Peruvian guano or an equal
weight of fish scrap will greatly raise
the yield of buckwheat crop on a
poor soil, and prove a profitable in
vestment for the outlay.
The harvesting of buskwheat is quite
different from that of other grains
The grain "shell'' or drops from the
straw very readily. and therefore must
be gathered with special care. 1t is
best TO cut it with a cradle and leave
it in the swarth until the next morning,
when it should be rolled and set OH end
while it is moist with the dew. After
standing for few days it is ready to
be threshed. The straw has no special
value as fodder, but should he used as
a litter and absorbent of liquid manure.
The grain makes an excellent food or
poultry, and when its -four is in the
form of cakes, it is highly priced,
especially in cold weather.

What the South Pay. for Food.

Atlanta Conts utior.
1t has been ascertained that the
south has this season paid to the
north $55,000,00O for wheat, $4,000
600 for corn. $72 100000 for meats,
and about $25, 900 600 for hay, butter.
cheese, oats. apples. potatoes, etc. The
north, in other words, draws on US for
about 5000. 10000 a year to liquidate
bills that should not have been made.
This SUM is far more than we can
afford to pay for bread and meat, if
we wholly depend on cotton. This
drain has impoverished US, and from
bitter experience we have at last
learned to do better. The north will
not next year be able to take from us
over 100000, 900 on account of pro-
visions and grain, and a year later the
south should be fully self-sustaining.
1t must be done If there is to be any
real Independence in the south.

An Encouraging View.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
1t does not now seem probable that
the crops will prove small this year.
There is time enough yet for corn and
cotton; for wheat there is an excellent
promise, and large crops of hay and
oats are substantially assured. The
parts by any ordinary storms or ad-
verse weather, and it took the worst
drought for half a century to cut
down the crops of 1881 about one-fifth
as to wheat, one-sixth as to cotton,
and one-third as to corn. But if the
worst that can be anticipated should
come-if the crops should again prove
small this year-what have we to fear :?
Only another year of delay and of some
trouble. while the country is still
growing all the time in wealth and pro-
ductive power, and even after the mis-
fortunes of 1881 has been the welcome
place of refuge and long-sought para
disc for labOrers from every other
country under the sun.
An army of 100000 people will have
landed on these shores in the fiscal
year nearly ended. In spite OF all our
disasters, people are coming hither
for prosperity by the thousands daily
from every other land which letters or
papers from America can reach. In
May al, 900 landed; in eleven months
ending with May, 635 600-more than

Business is stagnant, we know, here
But stagnation does not mean in this
country what it means elsewhere. The
fact is that the business of the hall
year now nearly ended has been, or
the whole, the largest ever known ex
cepting one year, and outside of New
York the largest ever known. There
is only one week left, and the payments
actually made through clearing houses
outside of New York since January
have been about sc. $40, 100000, against
about Sc, 1900 900 for the same time
last year, when the payments were by
far the largest ever known. The re
cent dullness is mainly due to hesita
ton. People are waiting for news
from the wheat fields.

The census of 1880 is full of new
surprises. One of the last bulletins
gives the nationality of the population
of the several states In 1880. Kansas
had 1885, 1O native born and 110,086
foreiga born inhabitants, and young as
it is, of the native born 222,145 were
born within the state. People in Kan
sas who were born in other states are
enumerated as follows: Illinois, 1e6..

Pennsylvania. SILL; Iowa, 55.841
Missouri, 53.740; New York, AZ. 7O7;
Kentucky, 25,993; Tennessee, 1O,23l
all others born in the United States
outside of the state, 95, 852. Thus it will
be seen that of our population nearly
one-fourth was born in Kansas, and
nearly nine-tenths in the United
States.
