one OF Intense activity
The girlhood is short. and almost before
We bave deemed her emsncipsted from

upon her. She is obliged to ostraclze her,

Of butter, the very paIlor Of which 80 tho

The butter she turns out rapidly until
it begins TO be worth something, when she
suddenly suspebds publication and begins
TO haul wood to market ln this great
work she is assisted by the pearl gray or
ecru colored isckass Of the tepid South,
This animal has been referred to in the
newspapers throughout the country. and
yet be never ceases TO be an object Of the
greatest interest.
Jackasses in the South are OF two kinds
viz male and female. Much as has been
said OF the iickass pro aud con, do not
remember ever TO have seen the above
statement in print before, aud yet 1t is IS
trite AZ il is iucontrovtrilble, In the
Rocky Mountaius We call this animal Il Q

with the salt they are enabled to success

The burro has low cantralto voice

goes no further in the matter Of assistance.

The North Carolina COW is frequently

think / had never witnessed sadder
sight than that Of new mich COW, torn
away from home and friends and kindred
dear, descending q steep mountain road at
q rapid rate and striving in her poor. weak
manner, to keep out Of the way Of 10 small
Jackson democratic wagon loaded with
big hogshead full OF tobacco. 1t seems to
me SO totally foreign to the nature OF the
COW to enter into the tobacco traffic, line
OF business for which she can have no
sympathy and in which she certainly can
feel very little interest,
Tobacco Of the very finestkind is produc
ed here, and IL used mainly for smoking
purposes. 1t is the highest priced tobacco
produced in this country. A tobacco BIO.
ker here yesterday showed me large
quantity Of what be called export tobacco.
1t looks very much like other tobacco
while growing.
He says that foreigners nse great deal
OF this kind. am learning all abou. the
tobacco industry while here. aud as fast ss

pers OF this counhy have done much for
me, not only by publishing many pleasant
things about me. but by retaining from
other things about me, and so
am glad to be sbe now aud then, to re-
pay the Kindness by furnishing imforma
ton and facts for which have no use my
self, but which may be OF incalculable
vslne to the press.
A great many people come here from
various parts Of the world for the climate.
