Mr.. EiittOr: Pleasure, curiosity and tine

TO run down To The capital of the ciirne State,
and the trip and observations afforded us 80
much pleasure that the disposition to tell il to
yonr readers has not been resisted
We lett our city on the afternoon of the 9th

southern part OF the county, are very promising
indeed The heart went down several degrees
as we passed Duncansville, as our companion
told OF its former glory as compared with its
present self
We spent our first night in Leon county with
that scholarly divine, Rev w. j. Green, and
family, in their picturesque sylvan cottage over
looking Lake lamonia, and talked much and
long ON Sunday topics in which your readers
are not interested. What lovely home he has,
and what scclusion for a man of his natural and
acquired ability. But happiness is where the
heart is, and his seems 10 be there with his wife
and farm. Please let me say three cheers for

Of the most picturesque roads our wanderings to

"A silk company has been incorpora-
ted at Aberdeen, Miss. Its general man.
ager-whO, as the agent of the Agricul-
tural Society of France, has visited China,
Japan, and all countries where silk is
cultivated in order to learn the best
varieties of mulberry aud the best stocks
of silk worms, and who has devoted the
last ten years to the establishment Of silk
culture in this country-says: From
my long experience of silk culture ! be-
lieve the Southern States possess better
climate for the successful, profitable cul-
tivation of silk than any country in which
the cultivation of silk is carried on to-day.
The climate il most like that of Japan,
but is even better. 1t is infinitely sup
erior to that of France, because of the
wonderful evenness of temperature
There are no sudden cold snaps, such as
they have in France. Silk culture can
be carried on, am satisfied, as cheaply
in this country as in France. The land
the working season is longer, and negro
labor in the South is not dearer than labor
in France. When the industry shall
have spread, too, throughout the South,
as we expect it to do, it will furnish en-
ployment to thousands of women of all
classes, aud to old people and children.
It is a moderate estimate that four or FIVE
years after the planting of mulberry
plantation, whith ordinary care and labor,
a net profit of $3.50 to 5000 can be made
per acre IN silk culture" The general
Southern agent of the company says:
"The plan of the company is, in addition
to the culture Of silk, to raise mulberry
trees, eggs, and silk worms, and to sell
and purchase the cocoons. The company
has at present the only cocoonery in the
United States, but am about to visit
all the leading Southern cities to estab-
lish cocooneries."

out goods, the manufactures without the
raw material, the banker without deposits,
and the engineer without fuel, the farmer
is without manure or fertilizers for crops.
If the land is good it win soon be poor,
and if already poor his chance is bad in
deed The first lesson in successful farm
ing is to learn how to make and use ma
nure
RAISING PIGs-A brood SOW should be
observed with Grst pigs, as to whether
her food goes to milk or to flesh. If to
the latter she will not be the best type Of
breeder. The SOW will remain fat while
the pigs grow scrawny and dwarfed. As
a good milk COW will not grow fat while
milking, so a good brood SOW will not
grow fat with her pigs.
TREE PLANTTNG.-The fall season for
transplanting trees ought to commence in
August with evergreens, and 60 on
through to October with fruit trees. After
the weather turns cold Il is better to wait
until just before the spring sets in.
CABBAGE WORMs.-An old remedy
against these is flower Of sulphur spriukled
over the cabbages before the moth or but
terfy lays the eggs, which must be re-
peated after each rain.
METAPODIUs FKNoRArUs.-This Is the
long-legged, thick-thighed, brewnspeck-
led grasshopper, numerous in our South
ern fields in summer, which sauciIy spins
away through the air and down among
the grass and weeds, with noisy, grating
or teeth-chattering sound, as If daring
the 6sh-bait hunter to catch him. We
mention him to say that one of Prof
Riley's correspondents in Alabama re-
Gently found Metapodi,ss in grand assem-
bly,, feasting on "army worms" whose
shriveled corpses they then suspended
from the branches of the weeds
WATERKELoNA-The partial failure Of
the watermelon crop this season, with ap-
parent very good watermelon weather,
needs investigation Growers should no
tice closely all developments of the vines,
changes of weather and conditions of cul-
tivation with the view of solving the diff
hculty for future avoidance There NAV
have been a combination of causes that
may not occur again in great while, but
every farmer should keep journal and
enter everything connected with his ope-
rations that he may possess data for such
Investigations.

Abiding to the fact that Oscar
WIlde's servant was not allowed to ride
in sleeping car between Atlanta and
Savannah, the st. Louis Republican
asserts that negroes do not ride in sleep
ing cars i'll any section of the country, ex-
cept as servants 1t says: "They are
not permitted at hotel tables in Boston.
or, for that matter, in any frst-class hotel

is the use of travelling so far to raise
this question? There is no negro equality
il this country, except in name. We
speak of the race subject i'll its social
aspects. 1t was a slight matter to pass
laws, but it is very different thing to
, change the habits and prcjudices of the
people. The negro has a quasi-political
equality in all parts of the country. The
rights conferred upon him by constitution
and statute are much more fully conceded
to him in the South than in the North.
There is no pretence on the subject in
former slave states The hypocrisy of
entire equality is nowhere observable in
that part of the country, neither in fact
nor profession. The sooner the other
quarter of the Union ceases its fraudulent
professions on the subject, and talks as it
feels and acts, the earlier it will escape
the reproach of a perfectly barren and
entirely transparent hypocrisy"

One day while an old goose sat fan
ming herself Oh the side porch along
came fox who was lame and dirty and
badly knocked about. Trying to look
as humble as he could, and throwing
all possible pathos into his voice he
began:
MADAM, for heavens sake take pity
on mel"
"La! sakes but what distressed OBJ
iect you are!" she replied with swelling
heart.
ST am lame and hungry and desire
relief" continued the fox.
"And you shall have it, my dear ami
NAL. Mr.. Goose has worked hard all
his days, and has managed to get a lew
dollars ahead. 1t is therefore my duty
to divide with you. I shall not ask
after your past. You May have been a
lazy loafer all your life, but that is
nothing to me. You may have received
that lame foot and black eye while try
ing to enter some farmers hen-roost,
but that is none of my business. Charity
says must succor you"
"Yes'm."
"Itis, however my duty to hope that
Won desire TO be good"
"Oh, yes"
"And that you will begin now to
think seriously of the future"
"You bet will"
Then she took him in and gave him
square meal, and bound up his hurts
and presented him with shilling test
ament and sent him on his way with
Remember that charity is the greatest
of all virtues"
Just So" said the fox as he slid out
The words made a deep impression
on his mind, and as he passed the hen
roost he came to halt and remarked
"By hard work and plenty of cheek
have discovered coop, full OF TAT
hens. Over in the swamp are dozen
Door foxes who are obliged to eat rab-
bit for want of better meat. Charity
compels me to give this thing away"
That night tue coop was raided and
the poultry devoured, and as the last
leg disappeared, the fox who had worked

ongitude east or west is found there
that is, the point Immediately on the
opposite side of the earth from the ob'
seryatory in Greenwich, near London
which navigators usually count rs the
starting point, or zero.
In travelling eastward, or against the
SUMS apparent course, it is necessary
to drop day, and for convenience and
uniformity this is done at the lsoth
parallel; in like manner, in moving
westward, or with the sun, one day
must be added or counted twice. II
this were not done, the traveller would
find on arriving at his journeys end
that he was either one day ahead or be-
hind those whom he had left at home

west around the world no had gained
or lost day, both of the week and
month. In other words, Mr.. Smith,
who left Chicago (the real center of the
earth's influence the first day OF last
January for trip via. San Francisco,
Japan, India, Egypt, ETC., reaching
home for Christmas, will have 366 days
during the year 1882, while MIR. Jones,
who started eastward around the world,
will show but 364 days work during the
same year of grace. The three or four
minutes of time gained or lost each
day, being put together, make up one
