The Cotton Worm.

The cotton worm is appearing in many
sections throughout the Cotton States.
There is no excuse for farmers suffering
rom the depredations of the pest. They
have only to supply themselves with Lon
don Purple and apply it properly to destroy
the worms. There is no question about
London Purple being the best poison.
That is the published opinion of Prof. Ri
ley, the best authority on the subject in
his country. For the benefit of our readers
throughout the South, we append list OF
wholesale dealers from whom London
Purple can be procured in any quantity:

We notice that Bro. friedrich
Roble, Master of the Maine State
Grange, has been nominated by one
political party in that State for
Governor, aud that Bro. ID. H.
Thing, Past-Master of the State
Grange, has been nominated by
another political party for Congress.
We hope they will both be elected.
Grange principles and teachings
are being put in practice. We have
demanded and are getting men NOM
mated "for all positions of trust" in
all parties. We shall yet have our
full share of favorable men" in
Congress and at the helm in the af-
fairs of this great agricultural Ma
ton. Let the grand work of our
Order GO onward, onward" Truly
none can say now -a-days, You ain t
doin' nothin'."-Fdrmer's Friend.

For the Patron of Husbandry.
How STRANGE!

How strangei that ALL who till the soil,
Who feed the world by honest toll,
Do not, with all their strength and soul,
Proclaim their rights their rights control.
How strangel when farmers every hour
Feel the 1eath grip of corp'rats power,
They do not rally TO the Grange
Their only hope. Is this not strange?
How strangei that Congressman should pas
Bills in behalf of every class
Except farmers; to them they cry,
"You need no help" root, hog, or die.)
How strangei that some who advocate
Religion in the Lone Star State
Should be deaf to human cries
AS to publish the railroads lies.
How strange! all farmers do not read
The kind of papers they most need.
Farmers, in this let's all unite:
Let's feed the fame that gives US light.

II George Stevenson and his invention
mad NAG made their appearance at period sue
seeaing the era of the Bicycle, the latter
would have taken much firmer hold upon
PUBIC attention than it seems to have
oone' The merits of this peculiar machine
&C as yet comparatively unknown in this
oountry. People who read of its perfor-
hances are 10th to believe in them, and
V TI; the opinion that Bicycle riding, like
, r!s3,,oclpede padding" is rage which
III soon die out. This is mistake. A
machine with more gifts has never been
;;ltented. It's relation to the Velccipede
a. the relation of spawned donkey to
- piooded Arab. Boston has seized upon
a's oea which the Bicycle represents with
q aegree of enthusiasm only equalled by
o e,,e machines popularity in England,where
.Sf 10000 are in daily use on the roads
w highways, yet it is little more than a
Ia since the Importation of Bicycles to

Recent examinations in the Sig
nal Service Office of 600 tornadoes
recorded during the past 81 years
show that these destructive storms
occur most frequently in une.
They are more frequent in April
than July, and in May and Septem-
Der than in August. The records
also show that while tornadoes &C.
cur generally between and 6 p. m,
no hour of the day is entirely free
from them. Each storm-cloud
travels from II to 90 miles an hour,
the average of the path of destruc-
ton being 1855 feet. The wind
within the vortex sometimes
reaches a velocity of 300 miles an
hour, the average velocity being
3o7 miles. Tomatoes always move
eastward, but may be swayed from
side to side during their progress.

The Recuperafion of the south.

In his address before the Senior Class
of Trinity College, IN. c., DR.. Lafferty
makes the following eloquent recital of
the triumphs of the people of the South:
If battles tested the proves of the
South, defeat tried them in the furnace.
The social and political fabric tumbled to
pieces. The African from the rice swamp
was ordered to put his muddy foot onithe
| neck of scholars and statesmen. 1t was
as if continent, with all the fair works
of art and civilization, had suddely sank
below the sea level and the monsters and
ooze of the ocean had flowed in over all.
Judas at home and Barrabas from abroad
Joined hands and became the fduciaries
of the public purse and the protectors of
private rights!
When the war ended nothing survived
in the way of property that was not indie
structable or uncomfortable. The home
| necessities had CLEANED the field-the en-
envy had devastated even the stubble. The
loss in personal property, leaving out the
| slaves, was two billion-twice the inden
| nifty France paid Prussia. This was two
| thirds of all the property in the South.
In addition to this two billion there must
be added the expense of the Confederate
war, represented by Confederate bonds
| and Confederate Treasury notes, amount
| ing to one hundred million dollars. This
| was lost. In addition to this two billion
and this one hundred million of dollars
the South was saddled with its part of the
United States war debt of two billions and
half. And on the top of these vast sums
must be piled 100000 of private obliga-
| tons based on slave property.
And worse. The seed corn had been
ground in dire need. The last OK had
been eaten. The plough horse had fallen
under the Confederate soldier in the fight.
| Mills and instruments of industry had
been burned.
Few have ever forgotten the ruin
| wrought on Prussia by the enemies of
| Frederick. Macaulay paints it as the
most woful picture in modern times, yet
| Frederick lost only III, 900 out of popu
lation of 100000. The South lost 222,
600 out of 100000. The boys, the
grandfathers and the cripples were left to
redeem land overwhelmed with indus
| trial, political and financial desolation.
| What race that ever lived could have risen?
! The Greeks never rose to manhood after
| the Roman conquest. 1t was living
| Greece no more. The sons of the men
of Marathon were slaves forever. The
| barbarian broke the proud spirit OF the
naughty Roman.
| In single decade the South rebuilt her
burned affairs, Illustrated her temples of
! Justice and turned the balance of trade by
her exports, and made a United States
bond as good as gold. In 10 years she
had regained political power in Congress
and prosperity in her homes. 1t is tri-
umph of character, fortitude, patience, in
dustry, craftsmanship and prime manhood
over adversely without a parallel in his
| tory.

High hopes that burned like stars sublime
Go do down i the heavens of Freedom,
And true hearts perish in the time
We bitterliest need EN-:
But never sit we down and say
There's nothing left but sorrow:
We walk the Wilderness to-day,
The Promised Land tomorrow.
Our birds of song are silent now,
There are no flowers blooming,
Yet life beats in the frozen Dough,
And Freedoms spring is coming!
And Freedoms tide comes up Away,
Though we may strand in sorrow;
And our good bark, aground to-day,
Will float again tomorrow.
Through all the long dark night of years
The peoples cry ascendeth,
And earth is wet with blood and tears,
But our meek sufferance endetht
The few shall not forever sway,
The many moil in sorrow;
The powers of hell are strong to-day,
But Christ shall rise tomorrow.
Though hearts brood DER the past, our eyes
With smiling futures glisten!
For, 10! our day bursts up the skies:
Lean out your souls and listen!
The world rolls Freedoms radiant way,
And ripens with her sorrow;
Keep heart! who bears the cross to-day
Shall wear the crown tomorrow.
o, youth! flame earnest, still aspire
With energies immortal!
To many heaven of desire
Our yearning opes portal.
And though age wearies by the way,
Ard hearts break in the furrow,
Well SOW the golden grain to-day
The harvest comes tomorrow.
Build up heroic lives, and all
Be like sheathen sabre,
Ready to fash out at Gods call,
o chivalry of labor!
Triumph and toll are twins, and aye
Joy suns the cloud of sorrow;
AID It's the martyrdom to-day
Brings victory tomorrow.

The Savannah News says: The,
corn crop of Georgia this year is
unprecedented ia the history of that
State, the crops planted having been
very large and the yield extraor-
binary, averaging from 80 to 40
bushels to the acre. This not only
insures the farmers of that State
against the want they experienced
last year, but it makes them meas
urably independent of the speeu-
