Before MS towers a hill with a
broad flight of stone steps slopine
10 its summit,-betwcen foliage oi
cedars and maple. We climb and
I see above me the Lions Of Bud
dha waiting-the Male yawning men
ace; the Female with mouth closed.
Passing between them we enter a
huge court,-at whose further end
rises another wooded cminence.

Crossing the court to the left Of
the temple / find another flight OF
steps before me leading up a slope
to something mysterious still high
cr-among enormous trees. / as
cend these steps also, reach the top
(guarded by two small symbolic
lions) and suddenly find myself
in cool shadow, and startled into
immobility by a spectacle totally
unexpected and unfamiliar.
Dark-almost black-soil and
the shadowing Of trees immemori-
ally old, through whose vaulted fo-
liage the sunlight leaks thinly down
in rare fiecks a crepuscular light,
tender and solemn, revealing the
weirdest host of unfamiliar shapes.
"a vast congregation of gray Co
lumnar messy things, stony, monu.
mental, strangely sculptured with
Chinese ideographs. And above
them, behind them, rising high
above them-thickly set as rushes
in a marsh verge, tall slender
wooden tablets, like lalhs, black
written with similar fantastic let
tering, pierce the green gloom by
thousands, by tens Of thousands.

tails, | know that | am in hakaba,

Many Of the sculptures represent
Buddha in meditation, or in the at

him asleep, with his cheek resting

as a child, with the placid restful

Rev. J. II. Gambrell, the we'll
known preacher and prohibitionist,
writes to the Meridian Tribune
from Springfield, Illinois, which
city he lately visited. We quote :
Springfield is a city Of 10000 in

is the capital of Illinois. The peo-

The most illustrious man who ever
lived here was Abraham Lincoln.
He was Of Southern stock, born in
Hardin county, KY, OF parents on

member Of the Central Baptist

Sangaman, county, is reliably DEM
ocratic and the finest people here
are many Of them Of that political
faith.
My reception has been most cor.

One hears no talk here of hard
times. Enormous crops and good
prices have lifted people out Of the
depths; the value Of varied indus
tries is apparent. If one fails ev-

Tho ignorance of many good
people about the South, however,
is simply prodigious. A young
man with Il good deal of brightness,
but with the flavor Of the nursery
about him, was telling a company
Of gentlemen in the hotel, that the
South would never come to any
thing, because the people would
not work. He has been on a trip

they are ignorant. There arc peo-

the gentleman fell in with. The
South has made back every dollar

all. and half as much more. In
November the exports Of the whole
country amounted to Sll0,000,000.
The South furnished s53, ,000,0 600 Of

works in the South.
The young gentleman said,
"Why, | never saw people walk so

We cannot refrain from speaking
OF the manner in which some of our

Nothing can produce a more un-

than TO be suddenly struck in the

in Montrose will never occur again

SETTING OUT AN ORCHARD.

An essential condition for q profit
able orchard is that it shall have a
dry soil, says the Indiana Farmer.
Land naturally drained is to be pre-
ferred, but if such is not available,
then undertaking should be resort
ed to before planting. As to the fer
tility of the soil, we would say that
it should be at least rich enough
throughout to produce good crop
of corn, and should be reinforced
with liberal manuring directly about
the trees. A somewhat elevated site
should be selected, as giving greater
immunity from frosts. Choose main
ly those varieties that have proven
themselves adapted to your locality,
and that keep well and are fine APP
pearance. The best profit in apple
growing will be found in producing
large, highly colored fruit, which
may be kept by the aid of cold stor-
age until April or May and then be
brought out and sold at fancy prices
at time when the market is almost
bare of any other fruit. Do not have
too many varieties. Six or eight
sorts, at the most, are sufficient for a
lO-acre orchard, which is about as
much as the general farmer should
attempt to handle.

There is scarcely any better insect
icide than kerosene, made into an
emulsion, with either hard or soft
soap, says the American Farmer. 1t
dissolves in boiling water, and is
then churned by pumping the mix
ture into the vessel containing it
with an ordinary force pump until
thorough union is effected. This
may be largely diluted with soft
water, and the churning repeated 10
complete the mixture. Wherever
this oily emulsion touches an insect
of any kind it is sure death to it, and
it is not injurious to vegetable life,
as pure kerosene would be.
