MT. Kirby says: "Yon will see by the amounts produced per acre that there is four times as much in the growing of sweet potatoes as there is in Irish potatoes, this climate being especially adapted to the production of the former, while the latter require a cooler climate. To grow Irish potatoes here successfully they should be planted very early or very late, so they may get the benefit of the cool nights of early summer or fall; otherwise the chances are they will make poor crop. find It is very important to fer tilize with barnyard manure and cot ton seed. You can't well make the land too rich. On three-caarter of an acre of land 1 made last season ll5 bushels of as choice Irish potatoes as can be grown anywhere"
 It will thus be seen there is about four times as much profit as in cultiyating cotton. In fact, six-cent cotton is the least profitable of all the crops grown in this latitude. Small fruit and peaches show a still more gratifying xesult- If our farmers would devote sbemselyes to horticulture. bestowing

The Beginning of Spring.


Perhaps you think you know when
spring begins; when you shed your fur
coat and see the grass coming up. But
unless you are familiar with the old
fashioned almanac, it would be safe to
wager that you do not know that spring
begins to-day. On this day the sun
enters the zodiacal sign of Aries, or the
Ram, and the vernal season is with us
once again. In the latitude where the
inventors and principal users of the
zodiac (they have been dead a good
while) resided, this was about the date
they began to plow, and they opened
the spring campaign by offering a
sacrifice to the gods for a prosperous
year. This sacrifice usually consisted
of a ram, and he was given the place of
honor in the zodiac as the sign of
spring. But though it is hardly spring
here yet, it is time to look up a location
for the summers work, and if you are
thinking OF moving to the fertile wheat
fields of North Dakota, the contrasting
prairies Of Nebraska and Kansas, or the
mines and ranches of Colorado, South
Dakota or Wyoming, The Burlington
is the line over which you can get
there with speed and comfort. In fact,
if you are going anywhere, this is
really the only.'' For tickets, time
tables, maps, and any information, call

Ten years ago John Heintzig, of
Shamokin, Pa, concealed 5000 in a
bed mattress and went to Hungary
to visit his relatives, expecting to
return in few week. He was arr
rested there for desertion and had
to serve six years in the army. He
met other reverses and did not re-
turn until Thursday last. Heintzig
went to his old boarding house, still
kept by the same man as when he
left there, and found the 5000 in
the mattress He had been afraid
to write to the landlord about it for
he might keep the money.

There is nothing unusual in hair
turning white, but case in which
the hair turned black again after
being white was recently told by "a
gentleman from Detroit. A lady
of that city originally had black
eyes and hair, but in the course Of
time, when she had attained the age
OF about 70 years, her hair turned
pure white. This was expected, but
about a year ago her hair began
darkening, and now it is as black as
jet. There is no doubt about the
change, nor was any artificial means
used to produce it.

WAS JEFFERSON AN ATHEIST ?

Mr.. Joseph A. Hill contributes a
valuable historical paper to the Co.
lumbia Sentinel on the religious
opinions of Thomas Jefferson. Mr..
Hill shows by copious extracts FROM
the writings of Jefferson that he
was, at least, no: an atheist. He
believed in God, and an overruling
Providence, an Infinite Power rul>
ing the destinies of the universe.
He respected religion, and advocated
the widest tolerance. Mr.. Hill adj
mits that Jefferson was not orthodox
not Christian. He was, if any
thing, Unitarian or Deist. He re-.
jected the divinity of Christ, al>
though reverently coIceding the
purity anG sublimity of His life and
teaching. This was fatal defect of
his intellectual and spiritual natures
and we can only hope that it came
within range of invincible ignorance.

To deal in suppositions for a mo-
ment, suppose the Third party
should carry Georgia, North Carroll
ma and several other southern states,
thereby enabling the Republican
party to elect its President and a
majority of congress, how would
those white men in Georgia, and
the other southern states, feel when
two years from November they app
proach the polls tor the purpose OF
voting to find the polling booths
guarded by United States troops
-colored troops at that? Every
vote diverted from the Democratic
party in this election means a vote
cast to bring about just such a state
OF affairs. If those people who an
nounce their intention Of putting a
Third party ticket Ia the field are
ready to submit to bayonet rule
they are moving in the right direc>
ton; If they are not they should
stand squarely in the ranks of the
Democratic party-that is, those OF
them who have been affiiliating with

AT Homestead. Pennsylvania, the
workmen in Carnegie's Iron and
Steel Mills are on "a strike. Carr
negie is Scotchman, who came to
this country a poor man, but under
the Republican high tariff laws, he
has been enabled to amass millions
OF dollars. He put in some improved
machinery in his steel works the
other day, which enabled his work
men to earn more wages. He. then
| ordered a reduction of the scale of
prices, efecting nearly 400 men out
of 5000. The men refused to adopt
the scale of prices, and Carnegie,
the Republican protectionist, closed
his mills, and said he would work
non union men. He sent 200 Pink
erton's detectives on a barge to be
landed at his works in Homestead
on the river to guard the mills. The
workmen refused to allow them 20
land, when bloody battle ensued,
resulting in killing tour laborers and
woundiDg eleven. Twenty-Five 9TH
ers were slightly injured. Three
Pinkertons were killed and a num-
Der wounded.
The Pinkertons at Homestead Pa,
were attacked with cannon, dyna-
mite and burning oil, but the most
dangerous weapons they encounters
ed was on their perilous march
though the streets. They were at
tackled by women armed with um,
brellas, and several eyes were poked
out. Everybody knows that an um-
brella in the hands of woman be-
comes deadly weapon.

Silversmiths now counsel their
patrons to keep fine table silver in
Canton flannel rather than in wool
The explanation is that the woollen
fiannels hitherto commonly employ
ed for this purpose ares treated, in
the course of their production, with
sulphur, and enough of the latter
clings to the flannel to tarnish the
metal when it is kept in flannel bags.
