AN EMPEROR AT THE PLow.

Curious Iitos Performed by tho Ruler OF
China at Certain Intervals.
In order to emphasize the importance
of the cultivation of the soil ind to
encourage his subjects to follow agri-
cultural pursuits the emperor of China
sometimes performs certain rites at
the ''empcror's field" and goes through
the form of blowing and other work of
the husbandman. One day recently,
says the N. A. u. Cable, the emperor
set out at daybreak from his palace,
with numerous and magnificent train
of courticrs' and others. Before break
fast the emperor arrived at the shrines
of the deity presiding over agriculture,
and his majesty stopped to offer up his
Thanksgiving and sacrifices. After
changing his dress the morning repast
was served, at the end of which the
emperor proceeded to the field, Mt the
four corners of which were erected
four pavilions where the seeds of
wheat and other cereals were placed.
In the center were numbers of mag
nificently attired courtiers, each hold
ing aloft many-colorcd flag, while on
the side of the passage were scores
of aged and white-haired farmers,
ehch having in his hand some agri-
cultural implement. Placing his left
hand on the plow and holding the
whip in his right hand, tho emperor
began tho ceremony of the occasion.
by Encouragement the officers did
their allotted share, some welding the
agricultural implements, while others
scattered seeds out OF the baskets Us if
sowing, while the emperor was busted
with the pillow which was hitchcd to
richly eaparisoned bullock. draped in
yellow and led by two of the cmpcror's
bodyguards. On the emperor finishing
his round at the pillow the three princes
were ordered to go through the per-
Torrance, and after them nine high
courticrs had their turn, after which
the performance closed. Having re-
ceived the greeting Of his officers the
emperor returned to his palace.

DIAMOND MOLECULES.
The Gem Il Said to He . Mass OF Very
. Lively Atoms.

The Gem Il Said to He . Mass Of Very
Lively Atoms. s
Sir 3. Ball, who is fond Of revealing
the marvellous, has been studying the
mysterious action Of molecules; and
what he has to say concerning the
movements of the molecules OF dia-
mond is as truly surprising as nything
he has told US about the sun and the
planets. Every body is composed of a
multitude of extremely, but not inf
nitcly, small molecules, and it might
be thought, says Sir Robert according
to a contributor in the Newcastle Eng
land Chronicle), that in q solid, at all
events, the little PARTICLES must be clus-
tered together in a compact mass. But
the truth is far more wonderful Were
the sensibility of our eyes increased SO
rs to male them few million times
more powerful, it would be seen that
the diamond atoms, which form tho
perfect gem when aggregated in sufli-
cient myriads, are each in a condition
of rapid movement of the most COM
pick description.
Each molecule would be seen swing
ing to and fro with the utmost violence
among the ncighboring molecules and
quivering from the shocks it receives
from encounters with other molecules,
which occur millions of times in each
second. The hardness and impenetra-
bility SO characteristic would at first
sight seem to refute the superstition
that it is no more than q cluster of
rapidly moving PARTICLES; but the we'll
known impcnetrability of the gem
arises from the fact that when attempt
is made to press n steel point into the
stone, it fails, because the rapidly NOV.
ing molecules of the stone batter the
metal with such extraor binary vehe-
mence that they refuse to allow it to pen
etrate or even to. mark the crystallized
surface. When glass is cut with n dia-
mond the edge which seems SO hard is
really composed of rapidly moving
atoms. Tho glass which is cnt is also
merely a mass of moving molecules and
what seems to harpcn is that as the
diamond is pressed forward it's several
PARTICLES, by their superior vigor, drive
the little PARTICLES of glass out of the
way.

by 1t. / he acreage was increased some
what this season over last at the expense
OF the upland acreage, but on account of
the freeze and scarcity of seed for reDlant-
ing. upland has in anumber Of instances
been substituted, thereby leaving the same
amount practically in sea island as last
year. The crop is now up and looking
poor. Stands are very poor Weather
very untavorable now for the cotton plant
on account of the cold nights.
Boston, thomas County. April 2S.-Sea
island cotton is in good condition. Some
planters, not finding il a success, have
abandoned its culture, while others have
planted, making the acreage about the
same as last year Good rains have fallen
during the last week.
Q Ihomasvllle, Thomas County, April 2S.
The condition of the sea island crop is
the same as that of uplan1s, as stated in
correspondence of even date. There is
tendency to go into sea island cotton in
certain section of the county, but as yet
that crop is small.
Johnston, Liberty County, April 81
Inc acreage in sea island cotton, planted
this season, is about the same as that
last year. Very little cotton was up at
the time Of the recent freeze. Ninety per
cent. OF the crop was planted after the
freeze. That which was killed was re-
planted. There have been good seasonable
rains, and the general condition of the
cotton crop is said to be fair.

tina. it will be hard to leave. l care not
how bright ourlfuture hope is. II is a
bitter thing 10 look upon this fair world,
aud know that we shall never again see
its blossOming spring, its falling fruits,
its sparkling streams, and TO say farewell
TO those with whom we played in child
hood or cOunseled in manhood.
In that night, like Jacob, we may
have to wrestle, but God will not leave
US unblessed. 1t shall not be told IN
heaven that dying soul cried unto God
for help. but was not delivered. The
lattice may be turned to keep out the
sun, or a book set to dim the light OF the
midnight taper or the room may be filled
with the cries Of Orphanage and widow
hood or the church of Christ may mourn
over our going; but if Jesus calls all, is
well. The strong wrestling by the brook
will cease; the hour of deaths night Will
pass along; one o'clock in the morning;
two o'clock in the morning; four o'clock
in the morning; the day breaketh.
So would have it when l die. ! am in
no haste TO be gone. l have no grudge
against this world. The only fault have
to find with the world is. that it treats
me too well; but when the time comes to
go, trust to be ready, my worldly affairs
all settled. If | have wronged others,
want, then, TO be sure of their forgive
ness. In that last wrestling, my arm en-
feebled with sickness, and my head faint,
want Jesus beside me If there be
hands on this side of the food stretched
out TO hold me back, l want the heavenly
hands stretched out to draw me forward.
Then, o Jesus, help me on and help me
up. Unfearing, undoubting, may l step
right right out into the light, and be able
to look back to my kindred and friends
who would detain me here. eXclaiming:
Let me go-let me go! The day breaketh.

PLACE FOR DIME-NoVEL ROB-
BERS.
A Subterranean Cavern Discovered
Near Valparaiso, Ind.
From the ST .nnis Rer

From the ST. Louis Republic.
Valparaiso, Ind, April 26.-Great ex-
citement has been caused in the vicinity
Of Bristol by the discovery of an under
ground cave. In digging a well Henry
Oswald came upon solid bed of brick
and mortar at a depth of eighteen feet.
The earth was cleared away for a space
OF two feet square, when the discovery
was made that the brick formed a solid
wall. With pick and AK Oswalt sue
ceeded in removing number
of the square blocks, and was
mystitied to find a large opening
below. A closer investigation dis
closed the presence of a large cave,
and the brick had been used in clos
ing up the mouth. The dirt thrown upon
10 had completely hidden the cavern from
detection. The cave is located in the
rustic hills north of the village, and may
have been made the hiding place for val
uables during the war. The presence of
brick in a good state of preservation
would indicate that the opening had
been closed by white men, but the older
residents of the neighborhood have no
recollection of its existence A party has
been organized and the cavern will be in
vestigated. The belief is general that
the cave has been the headquarters of
the band of hOrse-thleves whose opera
tionS in this section of the state have
established yeritable reign of terror

Mystery of Florida Shell Mounds.


Washington, April 23.- Thermystery of
the vast shell mounds that are found in
different parts of the country is being
gradually unraveled, and the investiga-
tions throw much light on the nature and
habits of the shadowy race that inhab-
tied this continent before the birth of
history. One of the publications of the
Smithsonian Institution just issued as
part of THE Proceedings of the National
Museum" paper by DR.. De Witt Webb,
treats Of the shell heaps of East Florida,
great mounds measuring from few
square yards to many acres in extent all
of which have been the abode of a race
for many generations. The paper shows
how the mounds may determine the form
of the prehistoric habitation and indicate
race characteristics. The illustrations
show forms of pottery far from crude and
other evidences of rather dense popula-
ton in the early ages.
Queen Victoria is sometimes rather shaky
in her spelling When she is in doubt she
