1t is popular error to suppose thativy grow
ing Oh the walls of house makes it damp. The
attachment of ivy to walls, SO far from injuring
them and causing dampness. is an advantage.
If the walls are dry when planted. ivy will keep
them so. If damp, as the plant overspreads
their surface the dampness will disappear.
Where dampness prevails ivy sucks out the
moisture. and its thick foliage will prevent the
access of rain 10 the structure and thus it is
not only remover, but preventive, of damp
ness. The only danger attending the planting Of
ivy on buildings is where assures occur in the
walls, in which case the shoots and roots will
enter. ana, if left undisturbed. their growth
will soon begin to tell upoa the building,
and will, by increase of growth, push against
the sides of the opening, thereby enlarging
it, and eventually so weaken the wall as to
cause it to fall. Where the wall is sound
there is no such danger, for the plant does not
make assures, although quick to discover them.

CorroN SEED Or IN CooKERY.--We have
tested the refined cotton seed OIL as substitute
for hogs lard. and we pronounce 1t a complete
success. On the morning of the election we ate
as nice biscuits. in which the cotton seed oil
was used, as we ever saw, and we here and now
declare we take no more lard in ours. The oil
is clearer and cheaper than lard and has better
favor. Housewives and cooks will understand
what we mean by cheaper when we tell them
that gallon of oil ran be bought for Sl.00 aud
tha. tablespoonful is enough to pu. in pint
of -four for making biscuit. For frying isb or
steak the cotton seed oil is superior to anything
we have ever seen used "a this country. The
discovery of the utility of the oil is destined to
prove bonanza to the South. The seed will,
in time, become as valuable as the lint, and IL
we can only establish manufactures in our
own section, which will work up the feecy
staple, the seed and even the fiber on the stalk,
it will not be many years before the cotton
section of this Union will become the richest
aud most prosperous portion of the continent

from the Augusta Chronicle. I

WAsHINGToN, March l5.-I have had some
conversation with Senator Jones of Nevada,
and infer from his undisguised language that
he not only will adhere to what he spoke in
the nate, but, if anything, make it stronger.
He openly proclaims that the whole negro
business is a melancholy blunder; that it ap-
proanhes crime and he regrets that some of
the New England gentry did not debate the
question with him. ~ believe" he said, "that
what Gen. Wigfall declared is true. The
Yankees sold their slaves to the South for the
love of money and then stolo them back ag ain
for the love of God" He also wants it under-
stood th.t he is progressive man. and that,
having discovered the evil of negro suffrage,
there is nothing to do but honestly confess the
folly of the act.

Welded TO LAURA.-She was beautiful. he
loved her devotedly, and happiness seemed to
pervade their every act. But trouble came.
Sickness paled Laura's blooming cheeks, dulled
her sparkling eyes, enfeebled her constitution.
emaciated her beautiful form, unstrung her deli
cate nerves and untitled her for active life.
With an aching heart her husband consulted
doctors, administered their medicines and talk
ed with friends. Notwithstanding all this care
and attention, there appeared no relief for her
aching head, that painful back, that irregular
uterine action and that emaciation. Another
friend called who had seen such sickness and at
once suggested the use of DR.. Dromgooe's
ENGLISH FEMALE BiTrERs, as be had known it to
cure similar cases. Her husband procured it at
once and placed her upon its use. He sOon had
the satisfaction of seeing Laura restored to
health again.

The prosperity of the people of the
South depend upon the agriculturist.
1t is, therefore, Of moment to every
citizen that he wisely plan for the future,
He should not, by erroneous economy,
cripple his own resources. His failures
involve US all
The independence of the farmer
chiefly consists in the satisfaction of
knowing that his corn cribs are suffi-
ciently full to supply the staff of life.
When this is the case, he is independ-
ent as to the market price Of cotton, if
he is out of debt.
The millions of dollars which are
every year sent out Of the State to pur,
chase corn and other provisions had
better be kept at home. 1t would add
to the present comfort of every farmer
and planter, and relieve him of the ex>
ternal worry about supplies for the
future.
True, an acre planted in corn, or sown
in small grain, may not yield as much
in money as when planted in cotton.
But the value of cotton varies so much,
and the plant is subject TO so many acci-
dents, as to make it very unreliable, to
meet the certain demands for food,
which must be met at any cost, no mat
ter how great.-Southern World.

Jacob B.b,e wa. murdered in a Wisconsin

Jacob Bsble was murdered in Wisconsin
forest last January. He was lumberrnan,
and worked with single companion. This
person disappeared immediately ys~=fssr~ the
deed and was regarded as guilty of it, but
could nowhere be found Not even trace Of
the fugitive was discovered, and the search
WAS at length given up. A few days ago the
widow of Beble fell dangerously i'll at Neils-
vile, the nearest village to the place where he
had been shot, and, in expectation of death,
compelled her to dress as man and work
with him in the woods. Worn out by the
heavy labor, and driven desperate by his
cruelty, she murdered him, Then she hurried
home, put on her own clothing, and nobody
identified her as the fellow who had been her
husbands assistant.
