Now that the lubaooo crop it almost a
failure, harvest ia about over, the euro
crop bear); laid by, aiid our farmers
have oot much to do, we would suggest
that they go to work to increase their
stock of barn yard manure. Just try
oue time spending the amouiit you pav
out escb year tor fertiliser in rnakiug
home made manure, by saving what now
goes to waste about tho stable, hauliug
leaves, saving the ashes and other ft-rii*
tiling matter about the home that is now
thrown away. Another plau, which is
much more profitable th in putting your
money out at 8 or b per ceut. interest, ia
to use it iu buildiog .dams to cover your
land io water where practable, and there
are cumbers of small pieces of bottom
land io this section above narrow places
between hills, where dams might be
throwu up at a very small oust, by which
the water migbt be mode to stand ou
the land during tbe winter, and, thus
colleot decaying vegetablo matter from
the hills and hollows above which is
brought down by heavy raius, which
would make the laud very productive.
This land now not worth more than 85
per sere, would in a few years be worth
850 or §IOO per acre ; nor is this the
only advantage that t&cse small streams
may be turned to, tbe water in many
cases may bo taken out of these small
ponds or reservoirs io ditches around the
hills, so as to water a considerable part
of the farm during protracted drouths,
and ws have one or two every year,
when most crops, especially graes wouid
be benefitted by having water run on
them, especially could this watering pro
cess be turned to considerable advantage
here ia this mouotaueous country, where
numeious never failing springs break out
•round the base of the mountain high
up above the surrouuding country. Wa
ter may be run to almost every part of
the farm.
The Washington Star says that
"within the past few mooths a large
number of foreign immigrants have
passed through this city to locate io
Virginia and the Carolines. Of these
nearly two thousand (the majority being
Alsatians) are settling in the neighbor
hood of Salisbury, N. C. Many ol these
arrived by the German line in Baltimore,
while others landed in New York, Boa
ton tod Philadelphia. As is usual the
great majority of the armies now laodiog
upon our shores go West, but the pro
portion already gune South and the
parties daily passing in that direotioa
is enoouraging to those who have inter j
rated themselies in turning a portion !
of tbe tide of immigration that way j
With a view of settling the eountry the
Associated Railways of Virginia and |
the Carolinas have, through Mr. Alfred I
Pope, of Richmond, established what i
may be called an immigration bureau, j
Agents of the line meet tbe immigrants
Northern cities and give them iulorma
tioD. Those who deei it are forwarded {
South, and all aloog the road tbe agents j
are ready to show lands to such as wish \
to purchaao, er to obtain employment
for those who have to work for others, i
At Salisbury, N- C , an immigrant's j
homo has been established, where they j
are lodged and fed for a reasonable time, j
and, in addition, in eases of negotiation ;
for lands, tbe services of legal counsel i
are given free. In this connection it
may be mentioned that since April Ist
23;083 immigrants have arrived at >
Baltimore on the steamships of the North

SWAIDP MUCK. —Tbe American j
Agriculturist says an acre of swamp j
muok of good quality three feet deep. U
actually worth 125,-000. No .doubt
such a statement is surprising. 8o was
the statement of Dr Lawes,ot Eoglaad,
that a ton of brao fed to oows returned
moro than Wcost io mstiure. The best
muck free from sand, contains two per
cent, or forty pounds of bitrogen in s
ton. Nitrogen is worth in the market
twenty-five centa per pound, so that a
too of swamp muok is worth 830 for the
nitrogen io it. All that is needed is ts
work up the muck so as to make the ni
trogen available. An acre of swamp,
muck three feet deep contains 2.500 tons .
and would require eight monthst to draw
out, atlen load* a day Few person* real j

of common waste matters whieh lie under I

PRESIDENT GARFIELD SHOT.
Special dispatch to the Evening Tele
graph.
WASHINGTON, JU1,T2—9:30 A. M.—
About 9 o'clock this morniog the city
was startled by the alarming report
ttiat president Gat field had been
sssa3inated. The greatest excitement
at once prevailed, and the utmost anxiety
was manifested to obtain pattioulars
It was lesrued that the abocaing affair
took pltice at the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad depot, juat as the President
and party were about to embark for
Ling Brunch. The assassin pressed
his way into tbe President's presenoe,
and fir.'d two shots from a revolver both
ot which took effect in the upper part of
the body The would-bo murderer en
deavored to escape, but was pursued and
caught The Preaident was removed to
the depot waitiug-room, and medical
assistance immediately summoned It
is not yet learued whether the wouods
are fatal
Tin Lire OF A CZAR —That was a
remarkable speech which the autocrat
ol all the Russians receotly delivered to
a Prussian military deputation. Said
Alexander III:
''Gentlemen, how happy you are who
enjoy life without care, oot ueeding to
beed secietly threatening dangers Lis
ton to what happened to me the other
day."
(It must be kuown that the Cxar sleeps
by himself, but has some 5,000 soldiers
place-] around him to secure bis personal
satety )
'•The other day, when I was being
dressed, I aocidently put my hand in my
trousers pocket, and what did I find
there? A piece of paper, which notified
mc that within twenty six days I would
share the fate of my father, unless I
should ODucede to tbe wishes ot the revo
lutionary committee. I then placed my
hand in the other pocket of my trousers,
and what did I find there? The same
sort of a piece, but io that were given
jto me ouly six day's respite. Let me
tell you furthe>. One evening I sat
here before my desk, my room beiog
j illuminated by wax oandles. Suddenly
; one of the officers ot tbe watch rushed
in without having been called, and blew
out all the candles Snrprised and
j amased, I asked him what tbe devil he
meant by such an extraordinary proceed
! ing. Then he told me that be bid just
! been told that eaoh ene of those o«ndles
i was filled with dynamite. We iuvesti
; gated the matter, and it turned out that
. had that faithful officer come but a few
minutes later there wpuld tysvs been a
tremendous explosion. You may, there
! fore, WDII comprehend tbat I have lost
all coofidence in those around me, who
are mostly Russians. 1 wish that I
could have only Germans around me,
for they alone are trustworthy. Such
is my life."
Gen. Grant ia represented as saying
that a break ap of the two existing
parties is inevitable. That's all he
knows about it. Tbe Democratic party
cannot go to pieoes It is built up on
a conservative construction of the
constitution, and ia oppoeed to centra
lisation. Its members may change,
its lead in may be replaced but its prin
ciples are undying aud its organiiation
will be preserved forever. Tbe Repub
licsn party had its origin however, in
one idea—the abolition of slavery.
That being accomplished, tbe tie bin
ding the parly together to the South,
and tha eobesive power of publio plun
der have prevented its dessolution.
These ioroes have now spent tbeir pow
er, and disintegration has set ia. So
tar Grant is correct. The Republican
party is doomed; ita desolution is inevita
ble, and Gen. Grant aod Conkling aod
Arthur aud Dogeu will be instruments
to accomplish its death. Some good
oan come even out ol snob men !—Ral

TUI TOBACCO WOBM —A gentleman
who has had long experience in railing
tobaooo gives the following account of
his manner of keeping rid of the worms
whioh make suoh tearful inroads upon
the growing plants. He says tbat he
has a uumber of artificial jimson flowers
made of (in, and stuck upon poles in
different parts of tbe tobaooo field.
He baits tbe flowers with sugar aod
arsenie, and the tobaooo fly will eat it
and fall dead elose by. He says a few
ot these dosss save the labor of two bands
in an ordinary ferop.
Grant Says "I captured Lee's army."
You did, and it took aver 200,900 men
over eleven months to do it. You lost
more men io killed aod wounded than
Lee had during the entire eleveo months
and you know it, ob, Ulysses.
So dry np about your oaptura. We
heard one of your officers say in 1865,
that no man iu the Union army wss so
much indebted for his reputation to tha
silenee of brother officers aa you were.

A Boast and a Prediction.
Mr. Leuis F. Psyn, late United Ststes
Msrshal of this district, is reported by
sn Albany eorrespondsnt ot the Triiuite
as employing the following langusge :
"Mr. Coukling will run, sud let me
tell you something. Put down this
propbeoy sud remember it. It Mr
Conkling is besten, the Republiosn party
wilt have won its last victory ill the
State or nation. He has woo every Re
publican victory in this State for the past
trteen y«are Ho made the last two
Presidents, singls handed and alone."
" 'You surely don't msau that he ear
risd the campaign for Hayes by making
only one speech ?"
"I mean tbe seating of Hayes at Wash
ington, Hayes would sever hsve been
seated if it had not been for Mr. Conk
ling, aad whoa Gen Garfield came on to
that coolertnce in New Yotk last sum
mer the Stste of New York was4o,*'oo
or 50 000 Demooratio, and everybody
knew it.'"
The prophecy of Mr. Payn is not un
! likely to prove true The grounds of the
! tmast are also indisputably true; but
; tley are anything but creditable to the
; New York Senator; snd with h >w little
' satisfaction must he reflect upon them !
Fur the crime of successfully conspiring
to put into office an uueleoted President,
he received an affront which made him
a voluntary exile from the White Hou.«e
for four long years.
For the tolly of rendering successful
aid in electing sn unfi; President, he
has now received su affront which has
caused him IQ resign his cherished ofiice
of Senator—a re-appoint to which he
vainly solicits troui his own party, be
eauso in thst psrty he has made Garfield,
at least temporarily more powerful tbsn
himswlt.—JV. JT Sun.
It will ue reme iibered that a psrty of
Peonsylvania capitalists, iron and coal
men, who are building a narrow gauge
railroad from Bristol te Kentucky, were
induced by the State Geologist to seek
an outlet tor tbeir products st Wilming
ton, by building the missing link between
the terminus of the Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley road, st Patterson, snd
the Cranberry Narrow Gauge road, at
Eliiabetbtom, on the Watauga River.
They came and obtained a obarter and
tbe passage of a bill allowing tbem to
purchase the Cape Fear and Yadkin
Valley road on certain conditions
They wero assured ot tbe praotiosbiiity
of a railroad route between these two
points, through Cook's Gsp snd byway
of Boone and Cove Creek, to Watauga
River. Cspt Dwight, tho engineer of
tbe Chester and Lanoir road, who hsd,
at the suggestion ot Proof. Kerr, made
s reconnoissanse of the route two years
before, was engaged for tnem, and Cnpt
Cain was charged with the work of
finding the route from live head waters,
of the Yadkiti to the submit of thu Biue
liidge at Cook's Gsp, which is more
than 3.000 feet above the sea. Cspt
Cain his succeeded in Coding a good
crossing at this point, and is now tuov
ing dowu the Watauga from Boone' to
meet Gen Imbodeu's surveying parly
coming up Elisabethtown. Two
or three weeks will close the lino. Geu.
Imboden writes that the Kentuckians
are' pushing the line on to Cincinnati
So tnat at last North Carolina is about
to realixe tbe dream of a direct through
line from her most important sespoit
across btr entire territory to tbe grest
Tennessee and Virginia Valley, and to
tbe Ohio and ths northwest. This line
lies at right angles to tbe other railroads,
and can never be diverted. It will give
the shortest possible line from Cinoin
nati and the Ohio Valley to ths seaboard,
and will traverse a greater variety of
climates aud agricultural and minsral
productions tban any existing road It
will open up ao immense wealth of tim
ber and water powers Gen Imboden
writes: "We have sssurances of a
demand for over 600,000 tons per annum
of k the North Carolina magnetic ores
over our line Other Koutuoky roads
will join us at the border " Thus these
fine ores wilt get to Pittsburg iu place
of the African, Spanish and Italians.
This road will also at last bring us three
great mineral fertilisers for want ot
which our agrieulture bas long languish
ed—salt, lime and plaster. It will
bring a large part of our best iron ores
into demsnd and develop our ooal beds, ;
•od build up furnaces and numerous
otbsr manufactures along its whole
course.
This would indeed be an importsnt
work, and tend more largely to the
benefit of tbe State than other road now
in contemplation.— Haleijh Nevis-Ob

Extensive Buying of Land.
Hamilton Dessoa, a prominent msn
ufacturer of Philadelphia, has closed a
contract by which be secured 4,000,000
aeres of land from the State of Florida
This huge transattioo has been in ne
gotiation for several months, and its suo- |
cess wss owing to the shrewd tactics on
the part of the sgents of Mr Desson.
The land acquired, was a part of tbe State
of Florida, and under control of tbe Board
of Internal improvement of tbe State.
Owing to tbe reoent improved value of
the land of Florida, this property bas
bssn anxiously looked after by capital
ists of New York and Boston. Tbe
tract is situsted north of Lake Okeecho
bee, and ia nearly all below tbe frost line.
It is Mr. Desson's intention to at once
bogin an emigratiou scheme wbioh will
result in a very Urge addi'ion to the
population of Florida. To this end, he
has already established agenoies in
severel places ia this country, and will
at onee organiie emigrant bureaus ia
England Scotland, Germany, Holland,
and Italy.

recouimetded by Adjutant General
Jones It was this uniformity of dress

conspicuously handsome at the inaugura

will adopt that plan Let old "Rpe"
