A CLEAR HEAD.

gone year ago I was induced to try AYERS
Pills rs a remedy for Indigestion, Con-
stipation, and Headache, from which l
had long been a great sufferer. Commence
ing with a dose of five Pills, 1 found their
action easy, and obtained prompt relief In
continuing their use, a single Pin taken
after dinner, daily, has been all the medi-
cine 1 have required. AYERS PILLS have
kept my system regular and my head clear
and benefited me more than all the medl-
cines ever before tried. Every person sim
ilarlv afflicted should know their value.

FRUIT PROSPECTS IN FL DORADO COUNTY

EDS. RECORD, UNION In your issue Of
March S0Eh you say that Frank Miller, re-.
siding four miles west of Placerville, writes
that there have been heavy frosts, and that
in his opinion the fruit crop of Ell Dorado
county is lost. Mr.. Miller has the same
right to form an opinion as 1 have or any
one else, but in matters of this kind it is
eminently proper to investigate the sub.
ject before making sweeping assertions. l
have made careful inquiry into the matter,
and find that Uniontown, Coloma, Gold
Hill, Cold Springs, and portion of Pla.
eerville have escaped altogether, while,
with few exceptions, the balance of the
orchards have been only partially affected,
and that as to peaches only. II what is
now on the trees can be matured, the crop
in the county will be good. Yours respect
fully, L. d. MARKS.

the same as the first sowing, and late in
the evening to avoid the possibility OF
seed drying up. Keep well watered.
The best soil for tobacco is sandy
loan, mulatto or chocolate color, with a
good, red clay sub-soil, undulating
enough to drain itself. The main object
in preparing tobacco land is to have the
soil well broken and finely pulverized.
The grower can use the most suitable
tools and implements at his disposal.
The richer the soil the better the tobac-
co and yield. The standard fertilizer
for tobacco, after some years of eXper-
fence amongst Northern tobacco grow
ers, is 1000 pounds of cotton seed meal,
!, 900 pounds sulphate mot muriate) OF
potash, 500 pounds of Stacked lime, and
100 pounds of ground plaster, well mix
ed and sowed either broad cast or in the
drill. The drills three feet apart and
the plants set from Is to 20 inches in the

Blooming Strawberries.

Among the twenty-five varieties OF
strawberry plants which | shall trult the
coming spring, find marked peculii-
arity in one, the cold Iron Clad, which

none expected on the Noonan my main main
dependence for fruit heretofore) until
December. Some OF the Old Iron Clad
plants are showing considerable
amount of bloom and few berries are
as large as garden peas. Last year l
had slight sprinkling of bloom on my
beds of Noonan in December, but the
frost occurring about the last OF that
month destroyed them. The majority
of the plants did not show bloom till
January and kept on blooming till June.
Despite the unprecedented dry winter
of 1Ss3-S4 we picked up berries for the
first about February 10th, and were
picking for sale on February 22d. The
same plants gave us ripe fruit until al

Florida-Cuba Tobacco.

This production is but in its infancy,
and great deal of care and attention
must follow to bring it to its proper
shape. Its future is certainly great.
To-day North Carolina is great success
and tobacco made it. The value of it's
tobacco production surpasses that of
cotton, tar, pitch and turpentine COM
bined This ought to be equally so of
the Cuba tobacco of Leon and Gadsden
counties. The similarity of their soil
and climatic effects to that of the island
OF Cuba, with the same management,
must and will bring like tobacco. (The
tobacco on the island is grown from Oc
tober to February 1t is not pershable
like the orange crop or early potatoes,
but improves by age. 1t is not conting-
ent on quick transportation or no returns.
1t is poor, industrious mans crop as
well as the bondholder's. Our only
competition to-day is the island OF Cuba,
and the case stands thus: Her tobacco
IS getting poorer and scarcer every year.
Inc lack OF American ingenuity to keep
up the soil; the high taxation of the
Spanish governments the emancipation
OF slave labor, and the uncertainty of
commercial matters will keep her tobac
co on an upward tendency for years to
y
come, and adding to this our protective
tariff will certainly show our advantages
over her.
As the seed beds have all been made
1t is not necessary to state how they
ought to be made; but to those who
through neglect OF watering the beds
(upland beds through the dry spell and
want to SOW again to get plants in time,
| would suggest sprouting the seed. The
seed is usually sprouted in the foot of an
old stocking, mixed with fine, rich dirt
must be kept moist and not allowed to
dry up. Place the seed in this shape in
warm place, where an even tempera,
ture can be had. The seed will sprout,
If good, in two or three days. The mo-
ment the little white germ makes its
appearance in the seed SOW it at once.
Do not let the germs grow while the
seed is sprouting, they are tender and
will break off if allowed to grow beyond
the bursting OF the shells of the seed
Mix the seed carefully with fine earth
I after it is sprouted, and sifted ashes with
J the dirt. Sow evenly on beds prepared

An Electric Eel Six Feet Long.

A very interesting addition has re-
Gently been made, says the London Dali
IN Ne,c$, to the geological Gardens in
the shape of an electric eel-Gymnotus
eIectricus, 1t is said to be nearly six
feet in length, and must therefore be of
the very largest specimens of its kind,
Humboldt, when in the native home
of this fish in and about the Rio Colora-
do, measured some that were ) feet 5
inches in length; but though the Indi-
ans said they were larger, ne himself
saw none. The captive in Regents
Park is no doubt therefore very big
specimen, and there can be little doubt
of its power. Humboldt thought that
the Indians of the locality referred to
had exaggerated ideas on this subject
but they, no doubt, had had practical
experience, while the illustrious trave-
Ter seems to have prudently refrained
from testing the matter, except in the
case of an eel in somewhat exhausted
condition. He admits that it would be
temerity to expose ones self to the first
shocks of large and strongly-irritated
gymnotus; and though he does not men
ton any case within his knowledge of
any human life being lost by shock
from the fish, the mode of catching them
adopted by the Indians seems to render
it by no means incredible that, as some
have asserted, this fish is capable OF
killing man.
The Indians, it seems, are accustomed,
when they want to catch gymnoti, to
scour the country round for wild horses
and mules, which they drive into the
ponds where the fish are known to be
and so violent are the discharges of the
pent-up lightnings to which these ami
mails are exposed that, though they are

The Biggest Thing Yet.
a GIGANTIC FRENCH IMMIGRATION SCHEME
TO \. e.

| GIGANTIC FRENCH IMMIGRATION SCHEME
TO Nc
The Chronicle has information that
! Mr.. Edward Fasnach, of Raleigh, who,
as everybody knows, is a practical silk
grower and gentleman whose habit is
not to "run wild" about anything, is in
correspondence with prominent gentle
men in France-some of them high Off
Gals in the French Government-looking
towards the establishment of an inn
mense French colony in North Carolina.
| The plan is to purchase about $4,000
acres of mulberry growing and vine
growing land, and to send picked and
! thrifty workmen to make up the colony.
The managers of the project have the
capital to carry it out, and they have a
sufficient knowledge both of the habits
and peculiarities of their people and of
the silk-industry, to know precisely
what they are undertaking. The plan
will probably be for the company to
purchase the land and to divide it up
into small parcels and sell it to the colo
nists; and to provide them with supplies
until the period of profits come. 1t is
not as gigantic an undertaking as it
seems. The French peasantry are both
poor and thrifty. A hundred or if need
be thousand families can be got who
have money enough to come here Con
immigrant tickets) and to pay for as
much land as they can cultivate. A
very plain but still comfortable home
can he built for 500 to 5000 in Moore,
Montgomery or Cumberland, provided
the householder do his own work. For
the first half-year it will require no great
outlay to feed them; and, after that,
they can partly support themselves from
their own gardens.
Out of French peasant family of FIVE,
| there are at least four workers; all
thrifty, all economical. Almost any
French peasant would swap such a
chance for his present life. For, where
he is, he most likely does not own an
inch of land, - "a -
The company will, Of course, be the
purchaser or at least the jobber of all
the silk and wine; and it can enable the
colonist to get cash for their products.
1t is a plan entirely practicable, for
the profits both of silk culture and wine
making are very large, when these
industries are managed with skill and
knowledge. aa
When, a hundred years ago, cotton
culture was begun in the United States,
the chance did not seem half SO favora-
BILE as the chance for silk culture now
seems. When, within the memory of
men now living, tobacco culture was be-
gun in North Carolina, there was SUI
perstition which caused men to believe
that it would not grow outside of a little
charmed circle.
We are just beginning to discover
what North Carolina is, and cannot yet
get a proper idea of what we can make
of it. Twenty years hence the wonder
will not be that we grow silk and make
excellent wine in great quantities, but
that our fathers before us never learned
to do it,

StonewaIl Jackson's Daughter.

American girls in London of late
have completely eclipsed the fame of
snch professional beauties as Mrs.
Langtry. Mrs. Cornwallis West and
Lady Dudley. Having fallen at the
feet of Miss Chamberlain, Mary Amber
son, and Minnie Palmer, they are now
raving over the charms of Julia Jack
son, the daughter of Stonewall Jack
son. She must have been riding in
Rotten Row when she captured the no.
bility and gentry of the United King
dom, for, in this country at least, her
beauty would hardly attract attention
in crowd. But she is the most grace
full and magnificent horsewoman that |
ever saw. I was introduced to her at
the White Sulphur Springs, Virginia, a
few years ago and rode with her fire.
quently over the difficult mountain
roads Of the neighborhood. She SEEM
ed born to the saddle, guided her steed
with all the ease imaginable, and chal-
lenged the emulation of her male COM
panions by her fearlessness in galloping
along the edge of yawning chasm
hundreds of feet deep, jumping stone
walls and leaping bitches. Her figure
is petite and willowy, but her complex
ion is sallow, and the plainness of her
features is only relieved by the magnif-
cent lustre and sparkle of pair Of big
black eyes. She will certainly aston
ish the Britishers by her rare combina-
tion of good sense and culture with an
utter freedom from conventionality.'
On horseback she is every inch her fa-
theirs daughter, and by no great stretch
of imagination one could fancy her
leading a desperate charge with all the
spirit and ardor of martial inspiration.
Miss Jackson is quite young, still in
her teens, in fact. Her life has been
mostly spent in the country, and she
was hardly thrown in Northern society
until few months before her depart
ure, when she visited Boston, was hand
somely received, and created genuine
sensation. Her family is comparative
ly poor, having lost nearly everything
by the war. But it is to be hoped that
by the way of legitimate reprisal for
the capture of SO many of our heiresses
by impecunious English lords she may
make captive some wealthy scion of
the British nobility.
