ERRyTUM.--In M editorial last week

ERRsTUM.--In m editorial last week
on the County Commissioners we stat
ed that since 1876, every Board OF
Commissioners had increased the IN
debtedness Of the County by contract
ing debts largely in excess OF the APP
preparation by the Legislature. The
statement did a great injustice to the
Board Of 1851, whoshould have been
honorably separated from the list OF
these official blunderers. The admin
istration of this Board, composed OF
Messrs. J. NJ. Knight, c. L. Wlther-
spoon, and J. J. Harvin, was highly
satisfactory to the people, and most
crelitable to themselves. They not
enlyeAept the County free from debt,
but at the expiration Of their term,
a neat little balance WAS turned over
to their successors.
The article is otherwise true in cv-
cry particular.

guano would have TO increase the yield
of the crop to which it was applied to
the amount Of forty-six dollars before
any profit would be realized from its
use.
The profit of using guano at these
figures cannot be great, even where
the land is good and the seasons IA
vorable, but when used on poor land
and the seasons are unfavcrable it is
doubtful if it will pay.
TO avoid paying such ruinous prlc
es, every farmer should make all the
manure at home that he possibly can.
On wet days, and at odd times, haul
leaves for httering stables and lots,
and rake up and save all the manure
about the place. Buy acid phosphate
! and compost it with cotton seed and
homemade manure. Use the COM
post as far as it Will go, and buy cot
ton seed meal and mix with acid phos-
phate, in proportions of 300 pounds
acid to 100 pounds meal, and use in
stead Of ammoniated guano. Cotton
seed meal can be bought for s25 per
ton, cash, and acid phosphate at tie
same price, and when mixed in the
proportions named they make a fertil-
izer equal to the best brand Of ammo
mated guano.
Of equal importance to cheep fer-
tilizers, is the care OF the land, so that
the fertilizers will remain where plac-
ed, and be of permanent benefit to the
soil. 1t is the height of folly to pay
high prices for fertilizers and then ap-
ply them to land where much Of them
are liable to wash away. Lands that
are liable to wash should be terraced
or We'll ditched. Terracing is beeom-
ing very popular, and is an excellent
plan to prevent washing and improve
land.-C0t0il Ptant

Ii any farther evidence were requir-
ed to prove the necessity of the abo'
Etion OF the convict camps Of Georgia,
It has been furnished by the Horrible
suferings of Bud Williams, the details
Of which were given in the Ne'cs and
Courier. yesterday. Chained to his bed,
and covered with only one thin b.an-
ket at night, in a room without a fire,
the miserable wretch had both his
feet frozen solid during the extremely
cold weather two weeks ago, and has
since fingered in a most frightful con-
!, ,dition: It is promised that the coun-
:::ty commissioners will so to the bot
!: tom. of the affair and handle the res
ponsible parties without gloves.
They should certainly do so. Such
cruelty is a crime, and should be pun
ished as crime.
The truth of the matter is that the
system of hiring out convicts, IN Geor-
: giia as elsewhere, should either be
abolished entirely, Or some steps be
taken, by which these wards OF TIE
State" can be saved from the tender
mercies of inhuman overseers. The
treatment of Bud Williams is q blot
and disgrace upon the fair fame OF
Georgia 1t is an outrage against
Christian civilization that such thing
should have occurred in any part OF
the United States. There is nothing
worse in the annals of the Siberian
mines OF in the records of the Chateau
d'f. Whether his injuries were caus-
ed by accident OF negligence, or 9th
erwise, the story of the torture infict-
ed npon this helpless prisoner VIII
shock every heart that is not steeled
against sympathy with human suffer-
ing.-Neers and Courier.

It is an appalling fact that large

supposing that their children are re-

ECNiN NATURE.
For the .Nu?ni!q Times. |

This is a subject that became thread
bare ages before We were born; every
days experience proves the fallacy Of
all human reasoning, in indeavorng
to elucidate its prob.ematic mysteries,
and defeats some powerful casuist's
deductions just as they are about to
gain some weight as the oracles Of a
sage. A knowledge of the inward
springs OF the thought and action,
which regulate the conduct and unseal
the destinies OF our fellow men, is an
acquisition beyond the slender com
prehension of human foresight; in
fact it is almost as difficult to solve the
natural principles Of oar own charac-
ter, and the inward sources of our own
dispositions as to fathom the motives
and dispositions of others. If then
this shallow comprehension of our
selves is made palpable to our minds,
how much more difficult must it be to
arrive at the proper principles which
regulate the conduct Of another. Yet
mankind in general are SO prone to
consider themselves elevated in intel
lect, or more familiar with human ma
ture than their brethren, that this very
trait of self confidence is frequently
the cause of more actual disappoint-
ment, as we'll in mental as avaricious
o-, l,;tioD +bon a,,v of hos.
How frequently do we find men Of
extensive requirements and extraor-
dinary minds, addicted to follies and
weaknesses that would be disgraceful
to fool. Antipathies are embibed,
they know not why, and fondnesses
felt for degrading pleasures which
none will so readily reprehend as
themselves. Lord Byron is said -se'
have been SO intimidateds, the triliing
operation of phlAbA.s77liny as to have
sacrifeeilhis life, rather than to un-
eS:ccrrggo it; this was certainly an unwor
thy weakness, and one that detracted
from the elevation of his understand
ing, yet we scarcely read the biogra-
ply of any eminent individual, bat
similar discrepancies Of intellect will
be discovered. The mysteries of these
things are only to be unravelled in
that parable Of parables-human na-
ture. Mrs. CHAs. LINING.

t,E0SE LIVING.

The little country of Belgium has
four hundred and eighty persons to
the square mile, or thee to every four
acres That is, four acres are made to
support three persons. If tine United
States were equally crowded the popu-
lation would be l,650,0G0,000, ormore
than the population Of the whole
world. One acre perfectly we'll cult
vated can easily support one person.
1t is possible to produce sixty bushels
of wheat on one acre, and this is equiv
alent to the whole support Of at least
two persons. It is simply a matter OF
calculation and management. Belgium
shows what can be done. And it is
well done, for We do not hear of dis
tre>s in that busy country, nor of pau
pers: nor of rush Of dissatisfied Bel
gians crowding away to better their
condition. 1t shows that high farm

be a settled principle of agricultural
economy.--!mericGn.

HIGH PRICES FOR FERTILIZERS.

There is vast amount Of money
paid for fertilizers by the farmers Of
this State: and much of it goes to the
manufacturers and guano dealers for
profits and to the railroads FOR freight.
The price Of one ton of guano, when
bought on time, is about 425 lbs, of
lint cotton; but the cost Of hauling
and distributing the guano and pick
ing the cotton to pay for the guano,
must be added to the first cost Let
US figure on it little and see what a
ton Of guano really cost by the time
it is paid for:

A ROMANTIC LOVE AFFAIR IN MAssAcHU

OIL ID.
LOWELL, Mass, February 1.-The
recent quiet marriage of two people
belonging to well-known Lowell fam
lilies has romantic history. Many
years ago, Maurice Johnson, the Only
son OF a wealthy Lowell citizen, enter
ed Harvard University to be fitted for
the practice of medicine. Tie young
man was supplied with plenty ofmon-
ey, and his name and his purse soon
placed him at the head Of q lively
spendthrift set. His freshman Year
was one unbroken series OF wild ex-
ploits, and several til4-:s lie narrowly
escaped being expelled from college.
Handsome, dashing and rich, he be
came the hero Of many love adven-
lures, but finally it became known
that ne was engaged to the young
daughter of a wealthy Lowell mer-
chant-a petite young girl, with the
customary fair hair, blue eyes and a
susceptible heart Their romance bad
hardly begun when it was rudely i'll.
terrupted by the disastrous failure Of
Young Johnson's father.
When the news was announced tie
father Of lis fence broke off the MATCH

and forbade the young man his house.
/ The girl had t. submit aud for three
years she never saw her lover. Ihe
yaung man meanwhile underwent a
complete transformation. IIc soll lis
luxuries, did everything in his power
to earn money, paid his own way
through college, studied hard, and Il
na!ly graduated at the lead OF his
class Commencement day he was
awarded all Of TIE college honors.
That uigit as he was entering his
lodging house lie was accostcI by q
young girl whom lie recognized in
stantly as lis former betrothed. She
had left ber hcrne to come to him and
offer to fulfill the VOWS Of two and a
half years before Her supposed de-
sertion a2gercd him and he rcpellod
her, reprcaching her as 4 coGuctta.
The next day Johnson went to New
York He failed IN lis profession,
took to drink, and finally WAS found by
an old classmate, a brother physician,
in the hospital on the verge OF delir;um
tremens He was rescued, started
again in life, aud this time succeeded.
He became we'll known in his profes-
sion, wrote books on special subjects,
and was the envy OF his rivals. One
day he was suddenly called to attend
a lady at the house of Mrs Eliza B.
Merritt, on Coral street. His patient
was the girl he had loved years before.

went, living near him, but never let
