From a Georgia paper we take the fol-
loving extract from anotice of Rev. Jno. p.
Stridcr's sermon before The south Georgia
College:
"Mr. Srider proceeded to announce his
text: Malt:G-33: " Seek We first the king
dom of God and his righteousness, and al!
these things shall be added unto You 1t
would be doing the reverend gentleman an
injustice TO attcmpta report of the discourse.
Ii was mastery III its conceptions, comprs-
hensiye in its scope, convincing IN It's ar
guments. irresistible in il. conclusions, UNI
ansWerable in its declarations and over
whelminr in It's force. Mr. Stridcr was no
stranger 10 orr people They expected
much at his hands aud they were not disap-
pointed. lie is q bold thinker, a close and
logical rcasoner. a thorough master of the
English language, and possesses powers of
cloqucnce which justly rank him among the
foremost pulpit orators in the South. We
can only hope that the young men and boys
OF the South Georgia College, and the large
audience who heard the sermon will heed
It's wise c0unsels."

There are so many suicides at Monte
Carlo that it has become the custom to
fill the pockets of the victims with bank
notes, so that it may not seem that they
did not kill themselves on account of
losses. A shrewd Irishman availed
himself Of this fact to enrich himself a
short time ago. After losing a small
sum at the gambling tables he sudden
" jumped up, exclaimed, 81 am
ruinedP and rushed into the gardens.
Almost Immediately afterward the guards
heard a pistol shot and then a cry of
pain, and rushing to the spot found the
freshman dead. 1t was dark, with no
n around, so they filled his pockets
with money and left him to be dis
covered in the morning. They had
scarcely gone out of sight, however, be-
fore the Irishman was on his feet again,
and skipping away in the most lively
style.

Getting Potatoes Early.

Some years ago 1 conceived the ides
of planting my potatoes with shoots tc
them. Probably the sprouts suggested
the idea. At any rate 1 carried out the
plan, and have been so well pleased
with it that 1 have followed it for three
years. A few weeks before planting
time | select my seed potatoes and set
them in a warm place to sprout. BY the
time my ground is ready the shoots are
about three inches in length. The po-
tatoes are handled carefully, so as not
to break the growth, and cut up in
suitable sizes, as in the ordinary
way. One strong shoot is left to each
piece. The sets must be put into the
ground carefully, of course, or the
shoots will be broken off. AS growth
commences at once, the green tops show
in a few days. There is easily q saving
of two weeks at the start. Those who
have rather low ground which cannot
be worked very early in spring, as l have,
will find this method will enable them
to compete with their neighbors on
higher ground, with success. BY July
10 1 was using fine Beauty of Hebrons,
an excellent early sort, by the way.
planted April %. They were not then
fully ripe, though the yellow tint in the
leaves was getting quite perceptible.
Generally the tops are dead at this date,
but an unusually fine potato season kept
them growing later tbs year, =
