It is a duty of every farmer to visit yearly some of the , best farms in the county, and'". then' gather practical le? sons in improv ed agriculture. There is no method of learning about any farm subject equal to being on the farm w here it is practised and having it explain ed by the one who has made it a success.

Mr. Farish Furmau, an intelligent young Georgian, who abandoned polities in order to engage; in agri cultural pursuits a few years ago, j gives some (acts, gathered from ex perience, which are worthy of con sideration. Mr. Fnrman shows that five years ago he took G.V acres of thin "scrub" land, producing less than one bale of cotton to eight acres, and this land he has brought to produce sybale and a half to the acre. It is better that he has done thi. w ith home made manure, cost ing less than $1 a thousand ounds, and that yields every year double the cotton the manure cost, and in the fifth year 45.3,600 surplus coiton on 942 worth of manure. That he started with less than 92 worth of manure to the acre, and achieved his highest result with 14 to the acre puts his system within the reach of the poorest farmer. He did all this with two mules, and es timates hb$ laud to be worth now $100 per acre, while five years ago it would not have brought 5 jer acre, Inteusive fat-:.ing, as Mr. Furmau has put it into simple prac tice, means rich acres, broad mea dows, herds and flocks, happy coun try homes and prosperous farmers.

The last emanation from Bill's pen we find in the Atlanta 'Constitution.", It touches a very serious question which will erelong have to be settled, and which in volves consequences of the gravest importance to the American pen pie. He says:. "It Incomes every man to take some interest in poli tics. It don't matter how busy he is, or how poor he is, or how rich he is, he should keep one eye open to the affairs of government and give some thought to what is going on. I don't mean that he should go ca vorting around blowing a horn like the world was coming to an end, but he shouldn't shut his eyes and go it blind uioii the idea that the government would take care of it self. Governments have been de stroyed by ambitious and design ing men; and tyrants have risen up and oppressed the ieople, and tlie" people would rise and relwl when it was too late, for their chains were forged. For the sake of our children and their children we ought to see tb it that good are in office. 1 was thinking specially j about governments and the great I political questions that agitate the I country, and will have to le settled by the people sooner or later, there are three things that disturb my cogitatious, when I ruminate over the . future and see my posterity growing up around me so careless of all fear, ' The great question ot ! a conflict between the State and the Federal Government, that Mr. Stephens says is now pending, is taking shape for battle. The States have been gradually weakening and giving away to Federal power, and we read that the President has determined to have our elections this fall superintended by the IT. S. marshals again, a humiliation that would have been resisted with indignation and bloodshed before the war. A United States deputy marshal can murder a man now in Georgia, and go about and boast of it, and be kept in office and pro tected by his Federal masters. I only mention fhis to show how we are sliding along into the giant's power, how unconcerned we are about it. We send our representa tives to Washington, and it would seem that they hail enough inter est in the States they go from to stand up and say thus far shall thou go and no farther ; but some how else it ain't done, and they don't say it, for the republican members and office holders can't perjetuate themselves in office ex cept by force and corruption aud bribery, and, what Jay Ilubbell's money can't do the jiower of the government must do, and I dou't see much chance for us in the near future. I don't care who fills the 100,000 offices but I do feel con cerned about -the way in which they fill e'm, and about their impu dence and defiant bearing and the contempt they show for State laws and State officials. We used to speak ofthe "free and independent and sovereign States," and thought the government at Washington was their agent, but we don't now. The agent is now the master, and the States are bis humble and oltetlient servants. Uow far is this thing to gof. - " - Rev. Robt. Paine, D.

People do say it is the constant companionship with men, and mix ing with them in their field port-s, that give the fashionable Euglish girl ofthe day her love for "man nish" ways, and make her the slangy, horsy, rapid creature we often find her. Perhaps people are right. Yet what real harm, after all, if girls do wear stand-np collars andcarf pins, and hunt, fish, shoot, play billiards and smoke! None, certainly, if their hearts are all right. Besides, look at the models they have. The Empress of Austria seems only happy in the saddle, and no less personages than the Prin cess Ionise and Beatrice smoke ci garettes. Such actions are, of course likely to shock the sensibilities, not alone of our grandmothers, but of a certain type of young lady whose conversational powers are limited to understand replies of yes" and "uo," and whose proper bringing up is exhibited in a painfully stu dious avoidance of either showing her feet 01 separating her knees while sitting down But a woman now-a-davsdoes not care to please her own sex as much as the other, and it is only etear which sort of young lady is most attractive to men, and which kind of girls gets the dances at balls and the most attention everywhere. Men are pretty good judges of women, ami if they don't object, and are willing to make their wives out of girls who know more of horse than they do of botany, and prefer a whiff of tobac co smoke to ylang ylangor Atkin son's white rose, it is their own look out and no one else's business. I know a young lady who lives down in one of the southern coun ties. She is one of the prettiest girls in England, has. five thousand a year in her own right, is just three and twenty, and the daughter of a tlM't'1' wllose pedigree goes back to tll(' ' conquest, and whose country ; house is the show-place ofthe coun f- To 1(Kk at her you yvould think , tl quietest of" the quiet, and j , s1"' had'nt an idea beyond j -Hthet and w eak tea. But she j hunts, has her ow n stables, keeps tour hunters, now and then rides a steeple chase, buys and sells her own horses without help from any one; has her - own wine merchant, wine, cellar, and tobacconist; fences Imxes, skates, and rows; has her lioudoii? decorated with toils, gloves, whips, horseshoes, and hunting trophies, smokes cigarettes during the day and cigars after dinner ; is a capital judge of clareV and ort, and can tell Amontillado from Mar sala with her eyes shut ; is a first rate shot w ith a shot-gun or rook rifle ; draws her ow n charges, and piir-jW l-rmvii bills ; and last, though WH 'easi, uas a uengiiTiui way 01 letting you see her foot and ankle wl,l' slu' ; luts 'eg over the other on sitting down, that would make a prim old dowager faint, and get her sat upon direct Ijv by tin; sly ones. 'Yet. she has never lieen known to flirt, has refused more of. fers than thequiet. ones ever dream ed ef receiving, and once, it is rela ted, .taught the Prince of Walesa lesson by stopping in the. middle of a waltz with him at a ...state ball at Buckingham Palace, and refusiug to goon, l.K'Oausehe held her tighter than she considered proper. You can't call a girl like that fast.! But she know s enough to take Care of herself, and if her companionship with the young swells of the day aud her imitation of "their talk aud w ays, has taught her to prefer their triendship to their love, it is not un likely she is nearer right in her es timate ot her fellow beings than are the dragouesses of propriety who regard her with abhorrence, lmt are w illing to sell their bashful maidens to the first libertine or tilled scape grace whose establishment and rent roll make him in their eyes a desir, able pa rti. Hm Francisco A rgoitout A Wild Woman in the Woods. For more than a week the ear of the Jonrunl reporter has Iteen as sailed with stories of a hideous ap parition w hich had terrorized all tlie women and children in the neigh, hoi-hood of Arlington Baptist church in Clear Creek township. The wo men say that for two weeks they have been subject to terrifying vis its in the absence of their husbands from a little shiny black negress with long hair aud gleaming eyes. She would ask, in hardly distin guishable gibberish, for a baby to eat, and would make efforts to get hold of the children. The men get ting tired of the lears of their wives determined to try to catch the crea ture, and for the last week cjowds of men have been daily and nightly chasing her without sncces.s- Tae first effort to catch her was made altont a week ago by a man by the name of Roberts, a black smith of the -vicinity. The wild woman had appeared several times at a tire, which it was the habit of Carey Moor, colored, of the neigh borhood, to light after dark iu the yard of bis house for the preoara- : tiou of Ids tubals Robert. i,t THY GOD'S, AND TRUTH'S. a wild look in the half light and asked for, food in such a wild fash iou that Rolierts was demoralized. He recovered, however, made an outcry, and attempted to seize the woman, but she slipped through his hands and disapieared in the Mark shadows of the woods. The very next morning Mr. Steve Crowell caught sight of and chased her across an open field." He Isays she out run a buck and would dear four corn' rows at a leap. That same night she was again en treed from the gloom oi the woods by! kin dling of a fire and was chased by thiriy men without success, lt' wiw attempted to run her down 011 an other occasion with hounds, ' but they refused to chase her, which deepened the superstitious feehng with which the men as well as the women began to regard her. J; Mr. Marsh Allen, of the neighbor hood, declares that he met her one day with her. face torn and bleed ing and a long bloody knife iuj her hand. She wasnot more thanjifive feet high and with her long kinky hair, black, gleaming eyes, bare feet and torn, disordered drcsss; she was terrible to look upon. j There is little doubt-that she is a ioor, crazy creature, who has lie come teirified by these chases? and flees from all her kind as a bunted creature. Indeed she has met and told one or two people that! she came from Coucord, but yet so great is the excitement in the eoinjuunity that yesterday .an "attempt was le iug made to get together 400 eo ple to endeavor to' capture her. One thing that has added to the excite ment is the suggestion that it i the negro Joe Ross, one of the Dick Heuiiegau murderers, who a year or niore ago was said, to" have been about Charlotte- dressed iu woman's clothes. It w ill be rcmemliered jhat a stampede among the colored jwo men was created here at that time.

Use all dilligence . to get all ripening crops gathered in as fast as they become fit. Do not let them be wasted in the rains. It will pay you to look after the little things in time the beans, field peas, potatoes, fodder, hay and grass. Itegin to feed stock more lib erally now. Thehogs, muttons, and beeves intended for slaugh ter need more muscle and fat, and now is the time to begin to lay it on. Give them the pick ings of the fields asearlyas you can, and save your corn to the final fattening up process. Give a little copperas to all thelmgs weekly, and to other stock5' if need be. Smear all the plows, hoes, and other iron implements that need become ' rusty with plenty of kerosene oil. Two or three ap plications will completely rid a plow of rust. Clear the poultry houses of all accumulated rubbish and filth, kill the vermine with ke rosene, make new laying nests, and whitewash the buildings inside, using a little carbolic acid in the mixture.
