SPEAKING of the nureliabiliiy of
negro labor at the South, ex.Con-
gresham Manning, OF this State,
says the census OF Mississippi just
taken will show that nearly half
the cotton raised in this State is
grown without the aid of cololed
labor. White meu and white wo
men and children now 20 into the
fields and work. Aud with so much
better results that cotton growers
are becoming very much encourag.
ed in the thought that they are no
longer compelled to be dependant
on such an unreliable class OF labor
as the blacks. 4 curious fact men,
TONED by Mr.. Manning in that con-
nectlon is that comparing the Yield
Of cotton on ground worked by col
ored people with that worked by
the whites ii is found that The
ground worked 10y the whites yields |
twenty-five per cent. mere than
that worked by The nrsIoes. on
course the difference is that tue 4
whites cultivate it more thoroughly. |

THE PARTY TANGENT.

To thOse who are disposed to II,
off from the Democratic party, i
county OF State, applying higl
sounding reasons for the act a
nnction to their guilty soul, V,
have this TO say respecting thei
political status. 1t often occurl
that human nature aud inclination
may be very aptly illustrated by
that OF an inanimate matter whieL
we believe can be done in this case
We will, therefore, likcn the
Democratic party of Mississippi to
revolving wheel, and one which
is just now moving with great force
and rdpldity. 1t is well known
that, as one of the laws of nature,
any loose particle attached TO a
body thus moving will inevitably,
as tue tangential force becomes su-
periOr 20 its adhesive power, fly off
ia a direction representing a tan.
gent. They do not possess the in.
ert power to throw themselves offin
perpendicular or horizontal direc.
ton, tor, being thrown off by force
they are unable to withstand, their
course is governed by the motion
by which they are propelled; and,
that is usually the way with the
party deserter. He IS first a grow.
Ter and grumbler, and 1T is scarcely
noticed that he is really detached
until be is seen in the distance
'linging to some motionleSS, mean.
ngless thing called the Independ.
ut or Peoples party. 1t is then
hat he howls by day and makes
light hideous with his ten thou.
and reasons for leaving his party.
But when it is Sitted down it is
ound that that the real cause OF his {
departure from the great, moving !
wheel was because he
idu't have il in him to stick.
Aud, now, we will apply our il.
lstration again: lie was thrown I
q by taHgential force. Not by any c
iSturhing foreign substance as be I
.ould have you believe. but by l
aaSon of inertia or sluggish inac- d
yity by which he was unable TO c
his uniform rectilinear /
Ioiioa. Tue Democratic party is |
cling somewhat disturbed just a
ow by place hunters, the result cf :

~ the wheel has attained in. 5

Tree Planting.

The Rural Californian has the fol- lowing under the above heading {: On receipt of trees unpack at once, and heel them in separately, covering the roots carefully. Before planting cut off all bruised roots with sharp knife and spread ont the roots in a natural shape in the hole with the hand while the line. top soil is care fully shoyeled in by another. If trees are planted in the early spring Gas they should always bel, they should be planted about the same depth as they stood in the nursery ; for the rains will cause them to set tie an inch or more. After the trees are set cut all the current sessions growth to three or four buds, and it is best to shade the trunk by placing a shade on the west side. Plant apples 30x30 feet apart; pears, 24x 24; plums, peaches, apricots, etc., 22x22. Rule to find the number of trees to an acre; Multiply the dis tance in feet between the rows by the distance the plants are apart in the rows, and the product will be he number of square feet for each plant; which, divided into the mum
 Der of feet in an acre (53.500), wIIl give the number of trees in an acre.

Last winter the Mormon elders succeeded in securing SIX leagues of land between the Curallitos and Casa GTande in Chihuahua. and they are now moving their people in and talk ing possession. Ii does not mean a general exodus from Arizona or Utah settlements, but simply new colony started and further spread of Mormonism- All the families and over one hundred have passed have been well equipped with late improved farming implements, good wagons and stock.
 Individual emigianis do not know how many are ahead Of them or how many are 10 follow; they are obey ing the order of the church and are apparently conIenIed and happy. One or two expressed themselves by saying that if they didn't like the new country they might return.
