under the new law they are at liberty
to sell one hundred pounds of leaf

THE a1skIse OF rHg AIAsAma.

Charleston is SO seldom honored with the
visit of a national war vessel that the
presence of two in the harbor at one time
is quite an event in the history of the port
The Kesrsarge, which has been here some
days now, and is anchored off the battery,
possesses some interest from her memorable
fight with the Alabama. Thomas Doran, a
fine-Iooking, well built seaman, about forsv
years of sge, was pointed out as the only
man on board who had been on the ship in
the fight with the Alabama. Doran was
very communicative, and kindly enter

Young man who seema TO be q regular

years, and his gift is that Of generating fire
through the medium of his breath, assisted
by manipuiations with his hands. He will
take anybody's handkerchief and hold It
TO his mouth, rub it vigorously with his
hands while breathing on it, and immedi-
ately it bursts into flames and burns until
consumed. He win strip. and rinse out
bis mouth thoroughly, wash his hands, and
preclude the possibility Of any humbug and
then by his breath blown upon any paper
or cloth envelop it in flame. He will,
when out cunning and without matches,
desi.ous of a fire, lie down after collecting
dry leaves, and by breathing on them start
fire, and then coolly take off his wet
stockings and dry them. Il is impossible
to persuade him to do it more than twice a
day, and the effort ia attended with the
most extreme exhaustion. He viii sink

NEATEEss ON THE PARM.

Intelligent observers have generally noted
the fact chat in every rural neighborhood
the prosperous farmers are almost invaria-
bly, those who keep their buildings painted,
fences in good repair, and their fields free
from stone, weeds and rubbish. OF course
it may be said that men who have plenty
of money can afford TO spend it for keeping
up appearances. But this is evidently not
the full explanation of this coincidence of
facts. Men who make money, especially
in farming, are least inclined to pay it out
merely for show. II may be safely put
down as general rule that the work per.
formed by the most thrifty farmers is in
the direction of profit hence, as neatness
commonly goes with thrift, it is quite as
likely to be one of its causes as one of its
effects. There are exceptions to this rule,
as to all others. Some farmers accumulate
money still more rapidly, no. by increasing
their income, but by system of grinding
parsimony, by robbing themselves and
cheating their families to put dollars in
their purse. These are not examples to be
initiated. The aim Of most reasonable
men is not only to make money, but in the
meantime TO live in a reasonable and com.
Portable manner. To accomplish these OBJ
iects it is not difficult to prove that neat
ness be essential. There are many reasons
why habits of neatuess In farming lead to
success. Such habits are none too COM
mon, and in every business the men who do
their work in the most thorough n amer
get the best pay. The world is full of poor
work that of necessity eau onlybe poorly
paid. The farmer who grows his crops
among weeds can never sell his grain at the
highest market price, while the extra cafe
needed to secure absolute purity is sure to
be proportionstely well paid. Farmers un-
derstand this well enough, as is shown by
their periodic endeavors to secure pure
seed for sowing and planting. II we 60 to
almost any market we will find that the
bulk OF crops are more or less mixed, and
therefore unstable for seed and undesira-
Bile for any purpose. Almost every spring
there is an active demand for seed barley,
free from oats or other varieties Of barley,
and not unfrequently farmers buy from
seed stores, paying from two TO four times
the price at which they sold their grain ths
fall previous. In almost any neighborhood
farmer who viii grow pure seed Of the
various grains will find demand for his
entire stock at prices enough better tnan
market rates to assure him profit. When
we are told that farming is not profitable,
the implication is thst references is made to
the common slovenly method. The fancy
kinds OF farming, such as growing seeds
and garden vegetables. nearly always pays
those who in.elligently conduct them. Yet
seed growing and gardening are really as
true farming as growing hay or making
butter and cheese. They are only better
paid because they cannot be conducted
without close attention to details. and it is
in tllis that nsatuess consists. american

RACINE, May 1Ssh.-The first cyclone il

z o'clock tonight, passing through the ex-
treme northwestern portion Of the city, de.
nnolishing 150 houses and harms, and causing

blowing from the southeast. Toward noon
the sky was overcast, and about 4 o'clock
sharp rain prevailed. The sun again camo

The temperature was about 20', and about
o'clock heavy clouds again gathered in tie

might be compared to the roar and rumbling
of a thousand railroad trains laundering over
