THE VEGETABLE GARDEN.
An Item in Southern Farm Economy Too
Often Neglected.

An Item in Southern Farm Economy Too
Often Neglected.
1t is hard to grow good winter cab
bage in the south, but we can grow col
lards. Then why should we not go to
work and improve the quality of the
collard. The northern seedsmen pass
the collard by with sort of a slur as
though it were not worthy of a thought,
Now, well-grown collard in winter is
not to be despised, and if bent down
and nearly entirely covered with soil
until well bleached, it is really a verv
nice dish. Now, there are collards
and collards, and some are much better
than others. There is room for selec-
ton and careful culture to get short,
compact stalks and long tender
leaves. This is distinctively a
southern vegetable and deserves
attention. We hope the other
southern experiment stations will ioin
us in an effort to improve the collard.
Our people have been too much inclined
to get all their horticultural ideas, as
well as their garden seeds, from the
north, and have neglected too much
the good things natural to their eli
mate. Every spring we see our people
buying northern seed corn to plant for
roasting ears and every year go to the
cornfield of native corn to get corn to
eat. Corn, more than most of our
plants, needs to be aeclimated to the
latitude, and seed brought from north
to south, or from south to north, never
does its best until it has had time to
adjust itself to its new surroundings.
The little early sugar-eorn from the
north, if it gets large enough here
to make an ear, simply furnishes
an early breeding place for the boil
worm. What we do want is an early
corn of good size. Any field corn at the
south is very much sweeter than any
northern field corn, and but little infe-
rior insweetness to the northern sugar.

growth we will send samples for 49, ~,

of the state, and hope finally to dey.l.s

corn equal in quality and supero,s

state every day for three months, an
then quite a quantity ripened.
Another plant of recent introduction
that has proved superior to the old,
sorts, is the white velvet okra. Its ore,

NATURAL FIGHTERS.
Russian Soldiers Go Into Battle to Win
Some Examples.

Russian Soldiers Go Into Battle to Win
Some Examples.
''It may be worth while, now that
there is so much talk about Russia's
preparations for war;" said the army
officer, TO recall the fact that Russians
are natural fighters. Do you recall the
war stories which appeared awhile ago
in one of our magazines? Here the dis
cipline of the czar's army and the love
for fighting were shown in most con-
vincing ways. In the paper on the Rus
sian army the story was retold of an
order given to Russian regiments to
take some hills then in the possession
of the enemy. The regiments started
with rush, and thrice the order for
retreat was given. But by some mis-
understanding one regiment failed to
receive the orders. When it was learned
that this regim ent was missing the
whole Russian army received orders to
advance and to take the nights. When
the sun rose next morning it was dis
covered that the one missing regiment
had taken the nights, licked its own
army on one side and the enemy on the
other. That's the Russian idea of fight
ing"
'This same war article the speaker
added, tells of another night attack.
The enemy fell upon the czar's troops
when they were making forced march
at night. They were in confusion, but
they stood still and allowed themselves
to be shot down until they could form.
And how do you suppose this was doneP
The first man of the first company fred
and the company formed, each man
finding his position by the flash of the
preceding mans rifle. The first COM
pany once in line, the second formed in
the same way, and so the whole army
by the flash of gunpowder in the black
ness of night found its position. When
daylight came the whole army was
seen to be stretched across the plain in
a line as true as if drawn with rule
The Russian is a natural soldier, and
the discipline which he undergoes makes
him superb fighter. IN. Y Tribune.

A Glass Savings Bank.

Savings banks are now all the rage,
and the inventors of novelties are vie
ing with each other in making unique
things in this direction, says an ex-
change. The latest device in this line ia
a safe made of glass. As its contents
are always visible it cannot be pilfered
without detection, while the character
of the material of which it is made is
proof against the whim Of the owner in
the matter of emptying it. 1t is claimed
that the bank will encourage saving
habits, while it is neat and attractive

Brazil has gone through another revolution,
The Congress elected after the expulsion Of
the Emperor Pedro legalised the acts of the
Provincial Government, and appointed Mar
shall Fonseca President, with the great powers
usually granted to a President in an Ameri.
can Republic. They also passed laws, imper-
fectly transmitted to Europe, intended to
9 develop the country" among which were
large bounties upon immigration, which pro-
duced the great movement among jews in
Austria, and laws establishing an almost
i%nconvertible paper currency. These latter
were followed by a burst of speculation and
much financial embarrassment, amidst which
the premium on gold rose to 120. The Mar
shall wished to emit more paper currency, but
the Congress quarrelled with him, and at last
passed q law over his head providing for his
impeachment In certain contingencies, and,
we rather imagine, transcendiug lbs c~onsttu.
tional powers. The Marshal thereupon dis
solved it by military force, declared himself
Dictator, and proclaimed martial law. No
results have been telegraphed, but there is q
rumour Of fighting in Rio. The price of Brazil.
ian stock, which almost touched par three years
age, is now go, and, of course, more paper cur.
rency will be flung upon the marker. The
point now, as always, is whether the provin.
ces. especially Bahia and Rio Grande do Sui,
will bear these acts of oppression, as, if they
do not, Brazil will split into many Republics.
There is no force in the country outside the
Army, except in Rio Grapde do Sui, where
there, are many thousands of German immi.
grants who have passed through the military
mill, and are capable Of resisting the soldiery.

Some fine caves have lately been discovered
near Southport, Tasmania. At the meeting
of the Royal Society of Tasmania in June, an
account was given of them by Mr.. Morton,
who had visited them. They are situsted
about four miles from Ida Bay, and a fairly
good road leads to them. The entrance is
through a limestone formation. A strong
stream lows along the floor of the chambers.
Yhe first chamber reached by Mr.. Morton and
those who accompanied him showed some fine
stalactites, and along the floor some fine
s~talagmites were seen. On the lights carried
by the party being extinguished, the ceiling
and sides Of the caves seemed studded with
diamonds, an effect due to millions of glow
worms hanging to the sides of the walls and
from the ceilings. Further on, several cham
bers were explored, each revealing grander
sights. The time at disposal being limited,
the party had to return after traversing a
distance of about three-quarters of a mile,
but from what was observed the caves evil
IDENTITY extended a distance of three. or four
miles. The only living creatures seen were
the glow-worms. These caves, under proper
supervision, should become, MIR. Morton thinks,
one of the great attractions of the south of

Shooting Through Space.

Victoria, May s.-A large meteor
passed over this section last evening,
causing considerable CONSERVATION. II
came from the northest, and was seen
or heard of all along the line of the
railway from Rosenberg to Goliad, a
distance Of about 1870 miles. About
the time it reached this vicinity it ex-
ploded with a tremendous report like
heavy thunder or discharge of large
cannon. As the sky was perfectly
cloudless people imagined for brief
time that il was boiler explosion and
then 1t was attributed to an earth
quake.
Inquiry of the railway telegraph
operator here elected the information
that it was a meteor and had been
seen at different places along the line.
The brakemen on freight train near
Ira, q small station twelve miles west
of here, saw the meteor plainly and
saw it burst. lie says he saw one OF
the fragments, which appeared to be
about as large as his head, strike the
earth not more than 100 yards from the
railway track. The conclusion of the
explosion was so great that it momen-
tarily stopped the progress of to
train, this fact being noted by all on
the train. The conductor thought the
engineer had suddenly applied air
braks and ran to the door to see what
was the matter. A party will go
from here tomorrow In search of the
portion of the meteor that was seen to
strike the earth.

rae SINKING LETEE.

Last week we gave q short account
Of the sink in Elton levee across the
big slough, just above River bayou.
From the time it began sinking last
Friday week night, it has been going
down ever since. The sink is about
$50 feet long, and up to last Tuesday,
when we saw It, had sunk twenty feet
at least.
Ninety teams have been at work on
it ever since it first began disappearing,
but as fast as the dirt is piled on in the
day time, it goes down that much at
night; so nothing has been gained.
The reader can imagine its immensely
when it sank eight feet the first night.
Almost 5000 cubic yards have gone
down. When the dirt first began to
disappear, there were cracks in some
places in the side of the levee large
enough almost to hide horse. 1t
looked like an earthquake had struck 1t.
The most remarkable feature Of the
whole thing is the manner in which
the ground adjacent to the base on the
land side has bulged up. The levee
has sunk right straight down, and the
loose foundation on which it has been
resting has been forced upward, bear
ing trees and debris Of all kinds up
with it. 1T is now at least fifteen feet
high.
This soil which has been forced up
is of very unstable nature. Ii has q
very dark color, aud is composed
almost entirely of decayed vegetation
which has been forming there for
years. The crest of the elevation Is
cracked everywhere and gives when
walked upon. Before the levee began
to sink, this ground was two feet under
water and was one of the lowest places
in the slough.
The manner in which the sinking is
measured is as follows: A long pole,
secured perpendicularly to two planks
nailed crosswise each other, was placed
upright in the levee when the dirt
went down, this pole went also, and it
has been going down gradually ever
since il was placed there.
As we made these few notes last
Tuesday, the sinking might be stopped
by now, and the above might be stale I;
but we give them anyhow for what they
are worth.-Carroll Democrat.
