THE SOUTH.

! w AeAL cSAA AANAAeslAeN Ga hAOA "a ~
Mr.. James Wilson, a prominent
farmer of Allen county, Indiana, re-
Gently made an extended tour of the
South, with view to locating in that
section, and writes as follows to the
Atlantic Journal regarding his i'm
preston of the country:
81 left my home in Allen county,
Indiana, over six weeks ago, leaving
my farm in the hands of my boys,
while | took look OF the South for
the first time. | have seen portions
of Mississippi, Alabama, Florida,
South Carolina and Georgia. l stand
amazed at the natural resources the
climate gives this country. | have
been told in my travels that iron
could be made 80 much cheaper
South, and must in time drive the
manufacturers all South. But, as |
am farmer, | have onl y studied that
interest While the iron men claim
here that they can make iron FIVE
dollars on a ton cheaper than can be
made North, Sc! up claim that
pork, beef, mutton, horses and mules
can be produced much cheaper South
than North. Bermuda grass has no
equal North as grazing or hay
grass. 1t will grow on poor or rich
soil, wet or dry, aud 10 five years it
has made poor land rich. | was on
Bermuda grass farm that ten years
ago it took four acres to raise bale
of cotton; now one acre will produce
over bale or fifty bushels of corn
"The farmer turns this grass eight
inches under, sows in winter oats,
rye, or barley, pastures it all winter,
and in the spring the Bermuda grass
makes good grazing until late in the
fall, a prolonged drouth having no
effect 90 it more than to stimulate its
growth. This grass in spring, sum
mer and fall, With oats, rye, barley
or wheat, for the short winters for
grazing stock, with soil that will
produce from three hundred to
thousand bushels of sweet potato
yams. and three bushels of them are
equal to one bushel of corn 10 pro
ducing pork, beef or mutton. From
all en- see or learn, | think the
Southern agriculturist has as great
or greater advantage over the North
ern farmers as the Southern iron
men have over the same interest
North, and we have no idea this will
close up the farming interest North
and drive all the farmers South. -
Early fruits and truck farming will
pay much better here than North, as
the early supply comes on the mar"
ket North when she has none to
compete The early lamb can come
with the early pea. 1t would re
quire more time than | can spare
now to relate fully my views of the
Sunny South. But must tell your
readers that with all these natural
advantages she is fifty years behind
the North And just how long it
will take these people to get out OF
the rut is more than can tell They
seemingly know how to improve, but
fail more 90 account of the unskilled
labor than any other cause. A
Northern man with his skill and
money to pay for a small home can
certainly do we'll to come South.
am too old to move, bat certainly
will advise my boys and my neigh
bors' boys to go South instead of
going West. The advantages South
are a hundred fold greater than the
West.

Arkansaw Traveller.
A small boy with an intelligent

and depositing box of grapes on
the counter, stood looking down.
Il don't want the grapes my little

They are yours the boy said,

Upward of twenty years ago
husbandman, native of Cumber'
land, married girl belonging to the
county. The newly married couple
went to the brides friends The
bridegroom, however, could not
agree with them, and in the course
of few months he left bis wife and
went away, no one knew whitber.
The woman had reason to believe
that her husband, after leaving her,
took bis passage iu the ill>tated
steamer London, which in the year
1866 fOundered on her voyage to
Australia. Seeing in the list OF those
who perished name similar to that
of her husband, the woman cOnclu-
ded that he was dead Shortly af-
ter her husbands departure she gave
birth to daughter, aud the two liv.
ed together for a long time without
any particular incident occurring to
change the current of their daily life.
After waiting for many years the
woman married miner residing
in village near MarypOrt, and the
pair have since lived happy together.
The daughter of the first husband is
nov married, and has gone to New
castle to reside.
A few days ago the first husband
made his appearance ct the residence
of sister 10 Wigton, and here he
stated that be had been for some
time living in Newcastle. He then
made inquiries respecting the wife
he had lett, and was surprised to
hear that be had a married daugh>
ter living in Newcastle-the very
town that he had himself been resid>
ing in-and that the wife be had de-
serted was married again. His sis
ter was unable however, to give him
the address of his daughter, and at
ter waiting upon some of his rels-
tives at Maryport-to whom he an
nounced his intention of searching
for the daughter be had never seen
he proceeded to the residence of
his wife, not far from the town, in
order to obtain bis daughters address
The second husband was not at home
when the wanderer made the visit,
and the woman was in the house
al ne. He knocked at the door.
When the woman failed to recognize
him and asked him what he wanted
The man asked if she had daugh-
ter alive and if so, where she was
living The woman wished to know
his reason for asking such a question
and inquired if he was any relative
of her daughters husband "NO,"
be replied, II am a nearer relative
than that"
The woman then invited him into
the house, and gave him the address
which be pu, into his pocket and
pre- pared to leave the house As be
was crossing the threshold he turn
ed, and. looking her full in the face
said, swell, Eliza, you have mar
ried again, and | hope thot you will
do well by your husband and live
comfortably. | am your daughters
father"
The poor woman knew him them
and, almost fainting cried in a thrill
ing tone, sob, JIM" but before
she could recover her compOsure be
had walked away He has siuce
left the country.

EDUCATED BY THE NEWSPAPER
From the New York Herald

A member of manufacturing firm
that employs five hundred men told
the Senate committee, yesterday,
that the knowledge he possessed he
got by reading the newspapers, and
not from books, and that by reading
the papers be kept himself informed
on the literature and current events
of the day. Thousands of other
prominent business men would make
the same acknowledgement if ques>
toned on the subject. The tendency
of all literature is toward expansion,
SO the most industrious reader of
books can scarcely in lifetime be-
come we'll informed; newspapers, on
the contrary, condense nearly every
thing into as few words as possible.
Were student to attempt to give
the political, social, religious and
literary history of the world for a
day be might do it in far more ele'
CANT style than the newspapers, but
his story would occupy the readers
time for at least week. The news
paper is the true American univer
sity.
