TTNHE INVENTOR, who has neen actively engag-

 A ed for the past twenty years m introducing to the public his several systems of Warming Build ings with Steam and Hot Water by methods well known throughout the United States and Canadas has, at the solicitation of numerous friends finally produced more economical Heater, which em- bodies all the excellent qualities of Steam and Hot Water heat with the simplicity of Hot Air Furnace construction.

 Notwithstanding the large sale and universal approval of "Gold's Steam and Water Heatinc Apparatus" its responsiveness has impeded it's general introduction and use. To remedy this de-

 feet has long been the study of the inventor, who

 is now satisfied that in this new Heater he has secured the only plan whereby persons of moder- | ate means can enjoy in their homes the comfort Of ample warmth without injury to health :. l and that his new method meets a demand lono felt. and must when well Known supersede All

 other Heaters. No one desires, if it can he avoid ed, to put into his nome heater which will cer- l tainly impair the health of those who inhale the

 air vitiated by contact with highly heated surfaces.

 All other Hot Air Furnaces DO heat the air too hot because of the very limited amount of superficial | surface exposed to the fire, that much of the

 surface is ofteh heated to rcdness the proportion | of surface to the same of fire in this new | system is TEN TIMES GREATER than the common Hot Air Furnace, and no part is overheated. in

 deed it is adjusted such correct scientific prin

 ciples, that every part of the surface is equally | warmed.

 In the new Furnace the valuable result is secured | of an apparatus with all the merits of a Steam

 Heater, with the simple construction of the Hot

 Air Furnace, avoiding all the deleterious effects of 1 that kind of heat

We are not much of an advocate
for farmers having too many irons
in the fire at one time, and have not
advised our people to abandon cot
ton for other crops. Our belief is
That it is generally best for any one
to attend to business he under
stands, and, by sticking to it and
learning it more and more thor
oughly, to be able to carry it on
with less labor and expense. The
truth is, tat the cry for diversified
farming is really a delusion. Corn
and cotton, though one a fibre and
the other a grain, are diverse in
their time of planting or culture,
and, in fact, arc usually influenced
by similar climatic causes. Hence,
to cultivate one well the other is apt
to be neglected. But there are
crops diverse in nature and cultiva-
ton which may he grown through
out the South. There are but few
acres of cotton uplands in the
South which will not grew wheat,
and the great lime belt of Southern |
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, |
whore not subject to overflow, will !
grow that grain as easily and with |
as great yield as the prairie lands of |
Minnesota. It was once thought |
that it was impossible to grow wheat |
on lands on which the snow never
fell, but many actual experiments
have proved the falsitY Of this theo-
ry. The mari lands of Eastern Car
olina and the limestone lands we
have indicated viii ali grow wheat |
to perfection, and an article of that
grain which will sell in a New York |
market at higher rates than any
from the West. But, looking at |
the matter in home light alone, it |
is as good or better for man or
beast than corn; it can be raised at
one-thir,l the cost, and requires but |
little labor. 1


Winter wheat may be sown any /
where within 200 miles of the sea
coast with a certainty of a good |
crop. Heretofore these lands have |
been thought too valuable for cot
ton to be put to such an ignoble use
as growing wheat.


Wheat seldom sells at less than 50 /
per bushel in the South, and good |
Southern -four is always worth from
SO to $I2 per barrel in New York
But in addition to this it is crop /
sown and harvested when the time |
can be spared, and it is growing at
a seaeon of the year when work can
be done on other lands than that
which it occupies. Again, such a
change is a fertilizer; it is a real |
rest to the soil, and if the green /
weeds and grass are plowed in dur
ing the next summer, a value will
be derived almost equal to the mon
ey price of the grain. crop.


1t is not alone wheat that we
would urge as a crop for this true
system Of diyersifying, but rye,
oats, clover, peas, beans and the
roots, turnips and beets; but we es-
pecially commend the small grains
to the attention of our Southern
planters who desire some new crop
for food or money which viii yield
most with the least labor, and not
detract from the value of their
lands.

1t is the same with us. Our terms are
payment in advance, but We have allowed
number of subscriptions to run not only
to the end of the year but for two years and
over, and this gives delinquents an oppor-
tunity to plead the statute Of limitation on
part OF their accounts. But we have re-
solved to do business on the square here
after, and in no instance will subscription
be allowed to run bnger than year with
out payment, and at the expiration of the
year the paper will be stopped unless pay
ment is made. And we only extend credit
to the end Of the year to old and reliable
patrons of the paper, men whose accounts
on our books show that they have always
benn on hand when the year was up
Hereafter bills will be made out and sent
to each subscriber who has not paid in i'd
vance, so they may see just how they stand
and those who, on one pretext or another,
have allowed their accounts to run, must
settle up arrears.


Any one subscribing for the Union or
other papers published away from home, or
getting any kind of printing done below,
never think of doing otherwise than pay
ing in advance for the same, but some of
these same individuals think il all right to
let their accounts wi h their home paper
run indefinitely So we have resolved to
adopt the rule of advance payment, except
in the cases of mentioned above of those
we knew have never taken advantage of the
office in the course of business transactions
extending back for years, and always pay
promptly at the end OF the year. By this
rule we expect to lose thin. skinned sub

lose all such, and still the COURIER will
continue to make its regular weekly ap-

expect to get pay for, and those who think
we are not entitled to pay for our labor,
are at liberty to transfer their peculiar kind
Of patronage to some other institution.

Printers have a professional pride and
independence about some matters, and we
do not ask or want the patronage of any
body who does not consider their paper or

our price. We do not consider that we are
under any special obligation to him. If he

They are getting desperate, the

despairing of success have conceived
the brilliant idea of "organizing

They have issued a confidential cir
cular to such of the women as they
thought could be trusted with such a
high state secret, appealing to them
to organize such clubs to work for
the election of Grant and Wilson in
every city and town. They bait the
hook with a big green fly in this way:
by helping to elect Grant, they
will prove to the world and to them
selves the capacity of women for po


litical work, without interfering in
anv way with what is termed her
legitimate duty of wife and mother,

having nice little secrets whispered
into her ear. DO please consent to

women resist such a touching appeal,
particularly as they will thereby de-
mons.rate their capacity for political
atf,irs. 20 dear ladies, do pray
rush to the resche, and save the dy

the country take it into their wise
heads that it is rather small business
for them to play at politics anyway.
We know of some women who think
it would hardly prove their capacity
for political affairs to work for the
election of Grant. Suppose they
cultivate taste for public affairs by
working for the election of Greeley?

HERE is an account of remarkable
display of both strength and intelligence
by an ant. 1t was sent us by Mr.. Thos.
| s. Collier, of New London, Ct. Watch
the ants as you see them at work. and it
may be you will see something equally
strange and worth telling about. Mr.. G.
writes:


Whilst standing under the arbor near
my residence this morning, was some
what surprised and amused to see COM
! bat between an ant and green worm Or
caterpillar of some kind. The worm had
either been migrating or fallen from the
arbor, and whilst in the path been at
tackled by the ant.


., For awhile the contest was very fierce,
the ant running along the body of it's ad-
versary, and stopping now and then to
give pinch or bite-at least, concluded
such was the case, as it seemed to gather
itself together for some muscular work,
and when it did SO the worm Writhed and
| twisted as if in great agony.
This lasted some three or four minutes,
when the worm grew exhausted and be-
came quiet, and then the ant proceeded
| to drag it along the walk. The worm
gave two or three weak struggles after
this, but made no strenuous resistance.
After dragging the worm some three feet
along level space, the ant came to an
acclivity of about an inch, and finding
its strength insufficient to cope with the
| difficulty, it left the worm and proceeded
toward its hole. When near the entrance
it encountered another ant, and after the
usual manner of interchanging scommu-
nications, by the use of feelers, it return
| ed to the worm, and was shortly Joined
| by the ant it had met @ft


f.; These two, by their united exertions,
managed to drag the worm up the preci-
pice, for such I suppose it was to them.
I Then they conveyed it through patch of
grass, winding in and out among the
spears, as if treading the intricate lab
yrinths of a dense forest. Beyond the
grass they came to clear space, and
here the ant that had come to the assis-
! tance of the cOnqueror of the worm de-
parted on its own business, and the con-
Queror was left to drag its prize along
alone. This it did, until it reached the
entrance of the nest, and the worm disap-
peared. lge ~ n


Now took the tronble to measure the
worm and the ant. The worm was one
inch long, with circumference of three
eighths of an inch; and the ant was one
quarter Of an inch long, and belonged to
the common brown species. The total
space that the worm was carried was
eleven feet, and one ant performed the
greater part of the toll. This, however,
is not as remarkable as the fact of the ant
attacking the worm, and its sagacity in
not leaving it till it was powerless to es-
cape, and its search for and obtaining
help when unable to accomplish task
that came in its way ay.-AmerTc0re Agrscut-
