WHY aEoRa1ANs WON'T STEAL

l have been living in Georgia sew
en- years and have never had but one
visit from beggar. have never
locked my front door at night Ny
family sometimes go from home on a
visit to a neighbor and stay all day
and leave the house unlocked, and
nothing has ever been stolen that
we know of. My stable and corn
crib is never locked. No honester
people never lived than around u.s..
Ny opinion is that our people are
most too lazy to steal and wouldn't
90 after corn unless it was shucked
and shelled and sacked. | believe
that if | was to put bag full of nice
corn out at my front gate some Teller
would take it and carry if off; but
they won't go to the crib after it
It is too much trouble. Bayard
Taylor tells of a canton in Switzer~
land where the merchant marks the
price of his goods aud goes off to his
little farm and leaves the store open,
and when man wants anything he
goes in the store and measures it or
weighs it and puts the money 10 the
drawer. That is a good way and
saves clerk hire, but | wouldn't adj
wise our merchants to make 40 ex>
pertinent for fear of accidents. The
books might not exactly balance
when he took account of stock. -

A Suggestion.

EDS. JOURNAL: An election has been order
ed on the much vexed question of Fence" or
No Fence" Every one who rightly considers
the subject will admit that mo Fence" would
greatly benefit the people of this county, and it
is certain that it will force itself on US in the
end 1t is very desirable that it be adopted at
the ensuing election, therefore in order that
there may be a fair election and that all parties
may be able to vote Intellgeutly, come parties
in this vicinity have suggested that there be
meetings held in each Militia District to select
two or more suitable persons from each District
10 visit some of the counties where the mo
Fence" law il in operation and see for them
selves how the people are pleased with it -
There should be an equal number of whites and
blacks selected the negroes being allowed to
select their own delegates Both sides Of the
question should be fairly represented. The
expense would not be great compared to the
expense of holding an election. The money for
which, could easily BE- raised by those interest
ed. If some one would take hold Of this thing
it would at least settle the question for the
present. w. A. MCELREATH.

Not Aurora AustraIis,

Editors Journal: Having recently seen
in the papers an explanation given of the
recent lights appearing just after sunset,
and Just before sunrise, by calling them the
Aurora Australis. think it will be inter
esting to your readers to correct this opin-
ion, and give trve statement of the cause.
The Aurora Australis has never been seen
farther north than, CuZco in Peru, and that,
at q height OF II, 900 # above the level of the
sea, and if it should be seen on this side of
the equator, it would be "Borealis' and not
''Australs" The light we see is what is
called the "Zodiacal light, faint, nebu-
lous Aurora, which accompanies the sun.
1t was first noticed by Kepler, but first de
scribed and named by Dominic Cassini,
and is always best seen in the months of
Nav and October the reason of this is,
that its form is eliptical and exceedingly
eccentric the major axis being many times
greater than the minor. AT these periods
of the year the ma Or axis being nearly per
pendicular to the horizon, 1t is seen long
after sunset, and before sunrise ; but when
the minor axis is perpendicular to the hori-
ION, it cannot be seen. Cassini thought 1t
might proceed from the blended light from
an innumerable multitude of little planets
circulating about the sun, as the Milky Way
owes its appearance to the light OF agglom>
Grated myriads Of stars Euler endeavored
to prove that it proceeds from the same
cause as the tails of comets. Kepler and
others attribute it to the solar atmosphere
but Laplace, the great French astronomer
proved this:to be impossible because it ex.
tends far beyond the orbit of Mercury, and
the form of the solar atmosphere could not
! correspond with the lenticular appearance
of the Zodiacal light. Sir John Herschel
says "it may be conjectured to be no other
than the denser part o: that medium, which
as we have reason to believe resists the
motion of comets loaded perhaps with the
actual materials of the tails Of millions
of these bodies of which they have
| been stripped in their successive perihelion
passages, and which may be slowly subsid-
| ing into the sum-" This light has long
been well known to astronomers, and ap-
pears now more bright, perhaps, on account
of the condition of the atmosphere.

JERSEY ISLAND,

The Island of Jersey, having a
surface Of seven miles each way,
keeps $4,000 COWS. The breeding
of the COWS has made the island very
fertile, and, as the animals are kept
in stables ell the year round, every
particle of the manure is saved
Cows kept in close yards, with little
exercise, are generally better mixers
than those allowed to run at large,
and it is this in part which has de-
veIoped the dairy value of the Jersey
breed. 10 winter the cows are
largely fed on psrsnips, which has
probably helped develop the butter
superiority Of this breed of cattle.

Peat.

Among the various uses to whichpeat
is now applied, according to a Syondon
process-which, it is anticipated, will
prove commercially valuable-is that Of
its conversion into cement. The peat
as cut from the bog is first dried and
broken up or pulped with nearly its own
weight of tar, and is then put into ket-
tie together with oakum, cotton waste
or other material of fibrous nature to
give the product sufficient tenacity.
This is now mixed with a combination
of gas-tar, pitch, naphtha. quicklime,
chalk and any aluminous, calcareous
or silicious substances, also iron filings,
Stag or scoria. The whole mass is well
stirred and heated until the materials,
which are cable of being softened, are
melted by a low heat that will not
destroy the peat, the different materials
becoming thus thoroughly mixed, and
the mass is finally raised to a tempera-
ture of at least 1000 F. When used
for paving purposes the substance is re-
moved from the receptacle in its heated
state and spread over the prepared sur
face or foundation, and consolidated by
means of pressure until it is completely
set and even.
