Marriage of Domestic Servants.

In Paris male domestic servants are
encouraged to marry, as they are OBJ
served to- be more settled and attentive
to their duty than when bachelors. In
London such marriages are discour-
aged, as rendering servants more at.
tentive to their families than to those
of their masters.

Plant Potatoes Early and SpraH

Many farmers plant potatoes late in
the season in order to avoid in part the
ravages of the potato bug and tlieFe is
no question about there being saane
advantages in this respect. :<BuHIr y4en-
tinued experiments demonstrate a ttffs,ltthh that
early planting and thorough sprayfng
will increase the crop from fifty to a
hundred bushels per acre over hate

would seem a wise policy to plant
early and protect the plants by spray

Origin of the Irish Potato.

The Irish potato, the common, OF
white, potato, as distinguished from the
sweet. or yellow, potato, is SO called
from it's being staple food in Ireland.
It was recommended for Introduction
into Ireland by the London Royal So
ciety in 1868 as a safeguard against
famines. A native of Chill, Peru and
Mexico, the potato was transplanted to
Spain from Peru early in the sixteenth
century and brought to Virginia from
Florida by the Spanish explorers, and
from Virginia to Great Britain in 1865.

HUGH RO1LED1E,
Speaker Of the House of Representatives
In regard to the above it might be
we'll to inquire If either Connecticut or
Massachusetts can show an earlier
public act of emancipation than the
Palmetto State.
By reference to Grimke's public laws:
pages 3O3-311, section %, it will be seen
that the Legislature of South Carolina,
in February, 1882, before the Reyolu-
tionary War was really over, in pass
ing an act to dispose of the confiscated
estate of British adherents, provided
that in all sales of negroes directed by
this act the parents shall not be sep
arated from their children, but the said
slaves shall be sold in families.

GRATEFUL TO A WOMAN SLAVE.

Early Act of Emancipation Passed by
Palmetto States legislature.
Looking over an old volume contain
ing the acts Of the General Assembly
Of the State Of South Carolina, passed
at Jacksonborough in 1882 and some
subsequent thereto, 1 find the follow
ing:
An Ordinance for enfranchising a ne
gro woman and her child, late the prop
erty of Mr.. John Smyth:
Whereas, A negro man named Antigua,
slave, lately belonging to Mr.. John
Harleston, deceased, was employed for
: the purpose of procuring information of
the enemy's movements and designs by
John Rutledge, Esq, late Governor of
this State; and
: Whereas, The said negro man, Antigua,
always executed the commissions with
which he was intrusted with diligence
and fidelity, and obtained very consid-
cradle and important information from
within the enemy's lines, frequently at
the risk of his life: and
Whereas, 1t is but just and reasonable
that the said negro man, Antigua, should
receive some reward for the services
which he performed for the State;
Be it, therefore, ordained by the hon
orable, the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives, in General Assembly met, and
by the authority of the same. That the
said Antiques wife, named Hagar. and
her child, both lately belonging to Mr..
John Smyth. shall forever and hereafter
be deemed and taken as free persons,
and they shall be, and are hereby, enfran-
chised and forever delivered and dis
charged from the yoke of slavery, to all
intents and purposes whatsoever, any
law, usage, or custom to the contrary
thereof in any wise notwithstanding.
: And be it further ordained by the same
authority, That this ordinance shall be
deemed public ordinance, and all courts
in this State are to take notice of the
same without special pleading.

March. 1888, and in the seventh year of
