lines written of us by John Sterling:
The spice tree grows in the garden green.
Beside it the fountain flows,
And a fair bird sits the boughs between
And sings his melodious woes.
No greener garden e'er was known
Within tho bounds of an earthly king;
No brighter skies have ever shone
r. Than those that illumine its constant spring.
That coil bound stem has branches three,
On each thousand blossoms grow,
And old as aught of time can be,
The root stands fast In the rocks below.

While Gen. Grant lay dying
at Mt. McGregor Jefferson Da-
Wis was asked, by a correspond
ent Of the Boston Globe, to write
a criticism on the military ca
reer of the dying Union chief
tain. His reply was as follows:
"DEAR SIR Your request on be-
half of the Boston Globe for me to
prepare a criticism ON Gen'l Grants
military career cannot be complied
with, for the following reasons:
First, Gen. Grant is dying; second,
though he invaded our country with
a ruthless hand it was with open
hand, and as far as know. he abet-
ted neither arson nor pillage and has,
since the war, believe, shown no
ualignity to Confederates, either of
the military or civil service. There
fore, instead of seeking to disturb
the quiet of his closing hours, 1
would if it were in my power, con-
tribute to the peace of his mind an /
comfort Of his body"
These words ale characteristic
of the noble and God-like man
who penned them-free from
malice, free from hatred, and
forgiving-full of christian cha
rity, so rare under the sun.

The Wilmington Star propo
ses two National reforms. The
first is that Congress abandon
the custom Of meeting just be-
fore the holidays and adjourn
ing before anything of conse-
quence is accomplished. It
says:
There is no sense in meeting in the
beginning of December, whiting
away two-thirds of it, and then adj
journing for couple of weeks to
frolic. Now nobody expects any
thing to he dore before the holiday
racket is over. 1t would be better
all around and save good deal of
time-killing if Congress met in Jam
uary, when it could get down to bus
mess at once without any visions of
roast turkey or TOM and jerry to dis
tract its attention. 1t wouldn't be
bad idea if the new Presidents
were inaugurated at the same time
instead of March as now.

they did not receive fair and

abundant amends for the omisS-

Gov. Lee, in his speech at

contemplated by the Confeder-
ate commander that the attack
on the third day at Gettysburg
should be made as it was made.
1t was expected that Lonsstreet
would attack with his whole

and Pettigrew was a splendid

was pronounced success. 1t
was opened Wednesday by Col.

Fowle having failed to arrive in
time. On Thursday Gov. Fitz-
hugh Lee, Of Virginia delivered
an elegant speech and was fol-
lowed by Gov, Fowle. This be-

large turnout of the old vet
rams. On Friday Hon. w. II.
Kitchen delivered one of his
inimitable speeches. The dis
play of farm products, live
stock, poultry, etc, was very
good indeed, and reflects much
credit upon the county. The

Bulletin No. 66, of our Agri-
cultural Experiment Station is,
to our mind, very valuable
paper. It deals with Stock
Feeding, aud with Indian Corn
as forth Carolina product. DR..
Bat tie suggests that five pounds
of corn and four and a half
pounds Of cotton seed meal will
make a better ration for IL horse
than twenty pounds Of corn,
and will cost Is cents a day less.
He asks, however, for the ex-
| .norienco of ntI,arc in h~-,----A-
ter. Fodder is in general use.
and yet fodder is the most ex-
pensive food we CAN supply to
our stock. Like contemplating
pulling fodder 1uns the cost up
very high. Grasses would an
swer q much better purpose.
The article by Prof. Gerald Nc
earthly, on Indian Corn. is also
valuable.
In the year 1887 North Caro-
lima had in Indian corn about
2,773,9OO acres, being about one
third the entire cultivated area
of the State. This area produc-
ed 35, $50 bushels of corn, worth
in the market $21, 139 900, being
a. larger acreage and larger yield
per acre than any State on the
South Atlantic or Gulf coast,
except Texas. In the same year
the total value Of our cotton
crop was about $1S,0OO,0OO; S.
corn is still king in North Caro-
lima. In 1883 the value of the
corn crop was about One-seventh
larger than in 1887. The aver
age yield of corn per acre fol-
the whole United States is oyer
"a bushels. For North Carroll
ma the average is over II bush.
els, and is higher than the aver
age of any other State on the
South Atlantic Or Gulf coast
The average is, however, much
less than 1T need be. and with a
reasona Die am. unit of care in
selecting seed, judicious fertil-
iz!ng and good cultivation, the
State average could be easily
and profitably doubled.
"Mr. VIM. Crozier, the model
farmer of Long Island, New
York, on land naturally poorer
than the average of good corn
land in this State, has raised as
high as 207 bushels of sbelled
corn to the acre." For ourselves
we think 100 bushels a great
amount to raise on an acre.
