COMMON NPHRAsES.-Thet term blackguard
has a very commonplace origin. In all
great houses, particularly in royal reslden,
ces, there were a number of mean and
dirty dependents, whose office it was to
attend to the woodyards, sculleries, etc. OF
these-for in the lowest depths there are
lower still-the most forlorn wretches seem
to have been selected to carry coal to the
kitchen, halls and other apartments. To
the smutty regiment, who attend the pro-
crosses and rode in the carts with the pots
and kettles, which, with every other article
of furniture, were then moved from place to
place, the people in derision, gave the
name of "blackguards," term since be-
come sufficiently familiar. "To the bitter
end" is clearly an old nautical expression.
A dictionary, published in the first part of
the eighteenth century, has "bite," turn
of part of cable; "bitts," the main pieces
of timber to which a cable is fastened when
aship rides at anchor ''bitter,," turn Of the
cable about the timber called "bitts," that
it may be played out little by little and
SPLITTER end" (of cable) is that part which
is wound around the bits when ship rides
at anchor. The modern cant expression,
"to the bitter end," may have taken its
rise from the old nautical words, as meaning
the last coil of the cable, or from the last
end, the very "bitter" dregs. 1t is slang
expression, anohter form of "I will fight
YOU to the DEATH" In it bitter only means
pitiless, severe, like bitter east wind, or
a bitter foe.

AN HONEST BoY.-There were a dozen
of us waiting around the depot at Chatta--
nooga to take the train for Atlanta, and
pretty soon stout, red-faced and high
tempered man from Columbus, O., began
jawfng about the way he had been bled by
the walters at the hotel, and added that
there wasn't single honest nigger South
of the Mason and Dixon's line.

hurried out.
In about fifteen minutes he returned,
walked up to the Carolinian and returned
the bill and said:
"Went all ober, sab, but couldn't git it
busted"
He was rewarded with dime, and the
Buckeye, after great deal of putting and
blowing and wondering over it, paid the
cigars. AS we boarded the train l asked
the winner:
'Did you know the boy?"
For answer he took the bill from his vest
pocket and unfolded it. It was $40 Con-

DEEP FLOWING; USEFUL AND 1NJUR1-
R1oUs-Mr. Orange Judd discusses the sub
,iect of plowing in the american Agracultu-
rist for April and among other things says
the following:
The SUMS Warmth greatly assists the prep
aration of the food material collected by the
leaves, adapting it for plant nourishmentt::
We speak of warm "groWing weather."
But while the hot sun rapidly increases the
preparation of plant food, it dries off the
sap faster from the leaves, and also the
moisture from the surface soil, so that the
roots cannot get full supply. In both
these ways the sap-the life blood of the
plant-is diminished, and for want OF this
The food distribution or growth is lessened,
and frequently is stopped altogether. The
leaves curl, the plants droop, often dying
after few hot days. This is especially the
case on shallow soils, and on prairie land
more of the SUMS heat than those Of light
er color. Owing to the loose texture Of
such soils they bring up moisture from be-
low much less rapidly than fine compact
loans and clays.
Is it not plain then, that if a soil is plowed
deep and made fine, so that air will pene-
trate deeply, and the plant roots be thus in
vited we'll below the surface, out of the
suns reach even in a drouth, which seldom
plants having such roots will be supplied
with the needed sap, and the growth will
proceed rapidly even in the dryest days.
Hence, as rule, deep plowing and working
Of the Soil are highly advantageous.
But not always. The porous prairie soils
are usually in fair condition foot deep or
more the air has circulated through them,
destroying gdeleterious acids, poisonous salts,
etc. On heaveier soils, 50 compact that the
air has never penetrated below the immedi-
ate surface, the subsoil may be actually
filled with poisonous substances. We know
That earth brought up in digging wells and
deep ditches will seldom support vegetable
life, for year or two at least. To run
plow duwn into such a soil three or four
inches u~;ow the previously stirred surface,
and turn up heavy layer of it, may, actu-
ally kill t.le first crop soWn or planted:
The right way, with such soils, is to 60
down an irch or two annually, and bring
ND little rev. soil each time, but not
enough to materially harm the growing
crops. In this way we may in time secure
healthful, porous, aerated, deep plant bed,
that will furnish abundant moisture in the
hottest season, besides providing new sup
plies of inorganic food needed for the best
growth of crops.

GossIP.-There is absolutely noredeeming
feature in gossip. Even if true, we do not
desire to know disagreeable facts about any
of our neighbors. Nothing is more demor-
alizing than for man to lose faith in his
fellows. The man of faith and honor is not
apt to be suspicious of others, and does not
willingly believe evil. The lover of scan
dial and the believer in it are alike deficient
in honor and morality, and are the bane of
we'll organized society.
If all gossips could be quietly killed some
morning the next generation of men and
women would be happier. A case of hy..
drophobia now and then starts the cry of
"Muzzle the dog" "Death on the high
ways" etc. There is death and mystery
in the highways and by-ways and in the
home from the poisonous tongues of the Cos
sips. Let the voice go up, "Muzzle the
gossips." Teach the children that gossip
ing is dishonorable, and that faith in the
honor and virtue of mankind will build up
society and add to the sum of human hap
piness.

GRAY VS.. RED.-The British Govern
ment has decided to abolish the red uniform
ofits army, and adoptgray. Thisis reform
rendered necessary by the precision of mod
ern firearms, the red coat making too con-
spicuous a mark. While many glorious
deeds have been performed by the cred
coats" there have also been many inglori-
GUS ones and, in the American mind, the
"red-coats" will always be associated with
III to suppress the eliberty-loving American
colonies. The red-coat is really an insignia
of bloody and warlike British policy:
Its use dates back to the time Of Cromwell
and the Parliamentary war. May it's OBJ
lition be the harbinger Of the gray dawn of
more peaceful era of the worlds his

AN ANCIENT NATIoN.-At the departure
of the children of Israel from Egypt, China
was seven hundred years old ; and when
Isaiah prophesied of her she had existed fiji
teen centuries. She had seen the rise and
decline of the great nations of antiquity.
Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome
have long since followed each other to the
dust; but China still remains solitary and
wonderful monument Of patriarchal times.
Then look at the population of the country,
roughly estimated at four hundred millions,
ten times the population of the United
States, more than than ten times the popu-
lation of Great Britain and Ireland. Every
third person that lives and breathes upon
this earth is Chinaman and every third
grave that is dug is for Chinese.
