THE NASHVILLE UNION.
ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 1886.
The Daily Union.

THE UNION, though less than year old i,
has met with a degree of success and gained
friends far in excess of its expectation when
the venture was inaugurated. Those who
have been thus kind in their patronage are
entitled to THE UNIONS profound graft
tude, which it is unnecessary to assure them
is fully accorded. Feeling that the time has
arrived when the public demands require
the issuance of a larger paper, the UNION
has decided to increase to eight pages, the
first issue making its appearance Jan. |, 1886.
1t has been induced to take this step on ac-
count of the limited space left by generous
advertising public for the publication of the
news. Its news.gathering facilities have
been enlarged and extended, and in quality
and quantity its original articles will be i'm
proved. No portion of the every~widening
field of news will be neglected. The politi-
cal intelligence from Washington as well as
the social gossip at the capital will be full
and complete. A thorough system of state
correspondence has been organized, reaching
out into every nook and corner for the latest
and freshest current events
The local force has been enlarged, and in
this department it will be the aim of THE
UNION to chronicle all the events OF the
day in Nashville in an entertaining man.
ner. Indeed, the effort will be to make it
the best local paper ever published in the
city.
The financial and commercial columns of
THE UNION will be kept up to the high
standard that bankers and merchants
throughout its territory have conceded to
them. Unbiased reports will be given in
this important department of the paper at all
times.
Politically, THE UNION will undergo no
change in its views. 1t will continue to sup.
port Mr.. Cleveland's administration so long
as it continues to administer the government
on true Democratic principles. Its utter.
ances at all times will be, as heretofore, in.
dependent of cliques and rings.

A Good Husband.

c. L. Goodall, DID.
The true husband will be mindful
of his wife's good, and not Indifferent
to her, for in his smile she lives, and
in his frown is chill. A husbands
love is the sunshine of the wife. 1t
brings out her beauty of soul as a
spring morning opens the flowers,
and sustains her in her deeper needs.
Selfishness, and disregard to the in
terest and happiness of the wife,
planting ones own self in the center,
and absorbing every good thing in
ones own greed, the wife drudging
ing herself for her husband, as the
slave for his lord ; running to serve
every whim-this is not found on
heather ground alone. There are
home heathens. Genuine love casts
out selfishness, and ennobles the
heart. 1t makes it generous and self
denying for all others sake.
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1886-02-13

contrary, history shows that when
we applied ourselves to the thing in
hand, we eXcelled the North. We
had more good statesmen and orators
than the North. Our military men
were the foremost. In manners and
taste the South, with all her smaller
cities and sparce population, was at
least equal, and abroad held superior
to the North. In physical develop
ment they are and have been superior
to the North. Slavery prevented
manufactures and commerce, and in
terferred with common education,
and therefore was a block to most of
the progress of modern civilization,
mechanics, arts, roads, buildings, and
all that. 1t prevented inventions
and the intelligent use of the methods
already known. 1t warred against
economy and self restraint. But sla-
very is gone, and gone forever, and
the road to progress lies full and free
before us. If we take the old slave
line as the border of the South, we
have larger and better surface and
soil than the North, and also better
climes.
ave are the place of the great
world staples-cotton, corn (maize,)
tobacco and rice. There are vast fields
yet to be occupied with the sugar
cane. The cotton and all these other
staples should reach their highest
preparation for consumption here.
Wehaveall the mineralsof the world.
We have the cline for the best
peaches, apples and cherries, not to
speak of the orange, banana, lemon,
and the watermelon, and many small
fruits. The vine and the silk culture
must succeed here, if anywhere in
America. The South has the best
timber; the wood of the sunny South
is firmer, stronger, and more varied
than in the North, and its growth is
more rapid. When forestry becomes
an art and culture, as it will, the
South will be the place of the highest
success. When sorghum and the
sugar beet, the one for stock and the
other for sugar, shall become the great
staples, and they will in time, the
South will be the place for their cul-
ture. We have also the site for flax
and hemp, and the best wheat and
barley. There is plenty of capital in
the South for all legitimate purposes

would produce large crops at the
least possible cost he must rely on his
own resources and his own expert
ence. He cannot follow the details
according to other experiences than
such as he has made for his own gov
eminent.
We do not think it advisable for
large crops to be planted here. The
prices are governed by too uncertain
contingencies. If the Northern crop
succeeds, it reduces our sales to too
short time to get clear of the crop.
Consequently, that left over is unsal-
able and a loss to the planter. Many
farmers place their sole reliance on
this crop, which, we think, bad iudg-
ment.

Making Tea in Japan.

AJapanesegentleman neverintrusts
the making of tea to servants on COM
pany occasions, and the fine art ofthe
process was fully shown us in the
dainty management of every article
of the service before the host. The
teapot was a little jewel-like thing
that could be set, handle, spout and
all, inside of one Of the common sized
coffee cups that foreigner draws
once or twice at breakfast, and the
cups were of fine cloisonnee, with
plain enameled Innings, each no
larger round than the circle of tu-
lips petals could inclose.
|. With them was a small, pear
shaped pitcher, a beautifully wrought
bronze teapot, in which the boiling
water was brought, anda lacquer box
containing the caddy of the choicest
leaves from the fine tea gardens of
the Vii district-a tea SO rare and ex-
pensive that none of it is ever ex-
ported or known abroad, and only
the wealthiest japanese can afford to
buy the precious leaves.
Our host, taking an ivory scoop,
carved in the shape of a large tea leaf,
filled the little pot full of loosely
heaped leaves, and then, having
poured the hot water into the pitcher,
poured 1t on the leaves in the teapot.
The hot water had barely touched the
leaves in the little teapot that we
were watching so closely, when the
host began pouring off "a stream OF
pale, straw-colored tea into the little
cups that were then passed, each only
half full of the infusion. This tea
was as delicate and fragrant as il
made Of rose leaves, and the three
sips in each cup slipped so smoothly
down ones throat, thatn no one dream
ed of its being strong enough to KEEP
one awake fortwelve hours afterward

Seed Potatoes.

AT the meeting Of the Farmers
Convention of New England, held in
Boston, many interesting discussions
took place, among them one on the
cultivation of potatoes, which is so
apropos to the farmers of this coun-
try, we transcribe some of the most
interesting features:
l. The shape of the potato connot
be changed by the selection of any
particular form of seed.
3. The crop may be increased by a
selection Of good, healthy seed, well
kept potatoes, and, on the contrary,
diminished by failing to attend to
these directions.
3. Hard, firm potatoes that have
sprouted but little are far better than
those that are soft, tiabby, and have
long sprouts.
4. Long continued planting Of the
same potato in the same soil changes
its character, improving it for about
twenty years from the time it comes
from seed, and afterward it deterio.
rates and becomes diseased, until fin
ally it will not pay for planting,
5. Large crops can only be obtained
on rich soil, well pulverized.
6. The potato planted should be
large enough to support the slip until
it can draw its sustenance from the
soil. Whole potatoes may be planted,
or pieces an ounce in size will do.
7. But the size of the piece planted
is not so important as the healthy
condition of the potato.
s. No rules can be laid down in re-
gard to the quantity of seed per acre
the amount of manure to the quaint
ty of seed, or to any particular meth
cd of culture, as these conditions
must all be governed by the charac
ter OF the soil, its location, and the eli
mate.
8. One cannot establish rule by
one, or half dozen, experiments; i
is only by numerous experiments
covering a long period of time, trie(
on different soils, different farms, ant
different culture.
10. While a farmer should listen t
the experience Of others, and gathe
information from every source, if h

PERSIAN woRKMEN.
Their Curious Ways-.-An Odd Refrain
While Handling Brick.

From an illustrated paper by S. G.
w. Benjamin, our late Minister to
Persia, in the city of Teheran, we
quote the following:
"What implements they used in
ancient times, we know not, but the
Persian artisan. has neither rule, COM
pass, nor spirit-level. He is common
ly ignorant of the fact that the diam
eter is the third of the circumference;
his gimlets and augers areprods turn
ed by bOw-spring; he has no hatch
ct, but only an adze, and no carpen-
ter's bench. If he desires to plane a
board he puts it on the ground; and
if he would saw Il block of wood, he
squats on the ground himself and
holds it between his toes, drawing
the saw toward himself.
"Wood is scarce, and with such
tools hard to work, Ifpillows are to
be constructed, the trunks of poplars
are raised, and simply stripped of
their branches and bark. They may
be crooked, but that matters not; the
master workman tells his subordi-
nate to shape the timber into an ele-
giant pillar, with Catch. Depending
only on his eye, and the skill Of his
hand, this simple artisan applies the
plaster round the trunk in the form
of a fiuted pillar, and crowns it with
graceful capital and cornice, show
ing a lively inventive fancy. II
