THE MOON RESPONSIBLE.
The long mooted question, as to whether the
moon is made of green cheese or not, would
seem about to be decided emphatically in the
negative. The astronomers tell us that a vol
cano is in active eruption upon the bosom of the
Queen of Night, and unless cheeses are volcanic
we consider it deruortratod that the moon is
not made of "green cheese." There are a great
many sublunary people who hold the moon re
sponsible for almost everything such as the
tides, bad weather, failure in soap, in the yield
of pork when killed, or potatoes when dug. In
short, tbeie is scarcely anything that it is not
important to consult that luminary about.
Does anybody recollect what was the state of
the moc n when theJVgfclature metf If that body
convened uu what old farmers call the "wrong
time of the moon' why then we have a satis
factory explanation of many things it has done
and left undone. It' the Legislature met on
what is termed a "dry moon," then it is not sur
prising that the session ehould promise to be a
drought as far as the interests of the Sfat9 and
people are concerned. We know that the moon
will spoil fresh fih,and we confess that it is not
unlikely some influence may have been exer
cibed by our satellite over the Legislature.
Hence we say it is important to determine how
the moon was when the Legislature met. Ye
are disposed to be kind and charitable, and will
urgeJhat the Legislature should not be con
demned if its deeds can by any means be sad
dled upon the moon.
GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICES.
We are anxious to reduce our Stock of Dry Goods,
Hats, Shoes, ic. and have determined to
REDUCE PRICES.

their money where they c'nn buy cheap

THE SOUTH.
The Mobile Tribune says with truth, that to
radical legislation is to be attributed one of the
principal causes that prevents an influx of immi
gration into these States. Another cause to be
: sought for in the disposition of our planters to
bold on to land tuey are unable to cultivate,
rather than to divide it into small parcels, and
sell it at reasonable rates. There are agents in
our cities who have for sale any number of plan
tations, but, we know of not one who is attempt
ing to sell them by retail that is, offer a man
of moderate means the opportunity of investing
in a farm. He n:ust buy a plantation or stay
away.
- The term "Southern" has also had its influence
in keeping away immigration. If a correct cen
sus could be taken of the biped asses in the world,
the world itself would be alarmed at the number,
and would pray to God to send another flood, but
not another ark. The great majority of people
in Europe and at the North need nothing more
than to see a country called Southern, to be con
vinced that yellow fever, leprosy, Asiatic chol
era aud Egyptian plague abide in it forever ; that
there is a rattle-snake under every stone, a boa
constrictor up ei'ery tree, and that alligators, mud
turtks, panthers, anteaters and hippopotami have
the freedom of all its cities. These impressions
they get from the villainous pictures in school
geographies. We confess that our earliest no
tions of Egypt was received from one of these
pictures pyramids :iu the back ground, and .in
front a crocodile with an ox in its jaws. For a
number of years we thought an Egyptian was
never out of sirrht of crocodiles walking off with
oxen, the latter seized by the small of the back,
and (heir feet pawinrj the air. We have recov
ered from all that ; but there are thousands of
victims of Yankee geographies and free schools
that have not been so fortunate.
When good poople hear our country called
Southern, they never look on the map for its
latitude, but only for the horrors mentioned
above.
We would like to convince all such that this
is not a Southern laud. On the contrary, it lies
in the very centre of the Temperate zone, and en
joys a climate equal to that of the best part of
Europe. Its soil is the richest in the world, and
there is enough of it cleared and .fenced in, to
support a population equal to that of France.
Railroads and rivers are at hand to take the pro
duce to market. This then, is the country to be
sought by white men who are wrestling with
starvation at home. Let them cone in sufficient
numbers, and they can bid defiance to radical
ism. iVcw Crop Ceiba Molasses

SHOBT SEBMONS BY A LAYMAN
No. 4.
: The ladies mast not suppose that I intend to
neglect them in my sermons. I am too polite
for that. I intend this for them exclusively.
It is about the fashions.
- It has been said that people would follow the
fashion, whatever it might be. If this is true,
I don'i want to be here when the "Yuma In
dian" style is adopted for the women and the
Tebauntepcc" for the men. Perhaps you never
neara ot these. I'll tell you. The Yuma In
dian women do up their hair with toft clay, in
ine snape of a pyramid, and then they are
dressed for company. In Tehauntepce full
dress ia a pair of cot too gloves. I'have heard
it intimated that in some of the Territories a
revenue stamp is used for Summer wear but
this borders &o nearly on the indelicate that I
am loth to believe it. Now, 1 say I don't want
to be here when these things happen. The
present styles are sufficiently distracting. When
a modest man, walking with downcast eyes sees
in front of him a pair of white stockings and
things approaching, and indignantly lifts his
gaze to rebuke the proprietor thereof, he is met
by a head of hair resembling a keg of lager be
hind, and a fiizzled-chicken-on-a-rainy-day in
front, the threatening appearance of which is
calculated to 6ubdue a man of ordinary courage.
I am glad big hoops aro going out. They were
a nuisance. They kept a man continually turn
ing bis back whenever the wearer stood on an
elevation, or got into an omnibus, or attempted
to pass through a narrow place; and then it
made him nervous to see one of them try to sit
down comfortably. It reminded him. of a turkey-ben
going to roost. I never liked those
trailing skirts for walking. They outraged all.
the ideas of cleanliness which are associated with
a lady; but give me the trailing skirts in pre
ference to these looped up ones, in dry weather.
The latter will do well around the wash tub, but
the little boys ought to run after one in the
streets. If you happen to have plump and
pretty calves, whose business is that, I should
like to know? Do you want every blackguard
in town discussing them? And oh, if they are
not plump and pretty, and if the feet hanging
to 'em are like little canoes, and the ankles are
not straight, wh-e-w ! The works of nature are
beautiful sometimes, and sometimes not; but
they are always wonderful. We sometimes
speak of nature's lavisbness, and sometimes of
her economy, and sometimes we see both illus
trated at one sight. We see a woman walking
and we are struck with the economy of legs and
the lavishness of feet, and wo wonder both at
nature and the woman's taste in displaying it.
Next to modesty, taste in dress id the crown of
fashion. But what is taste in one, is a want of
it in another. The "fashion" is never becom
ing to all alike. Think of a woman with a high
forehead, a very prominent nose, and, receding
chin, wearing her hair plastered straight from
her face backwards and ending in an immense
waterfall, so tight that she can hardly shut her
eyes. Then think of a little squatty woman,
with big hoops, looped skirts and a pair of No.
4 shoes on, paddling down a pavement, under
the same head-gear! Could any stretch of
politeness induce a man to say that was pretty,
or becomiog? You need'nt say anything about
the men's fashions. They aro ridiculous some
times too. But they are of no consequence any
way.
Now, I want to give some advice, in conclu
sion, to the young ladies. By following every
fashion and adopting every new-fangled notion
which emanates from the diseased society of
other countries, you will lose those character
istics which have distinguished your mothers,
and made the name of a Southern lady synony
mous with delicacy, dignity, purity and grace.
The fiery'ordeal through which they have
passed, has served but to add to their refine
ment, although they are denied the elegancies
of former years. They deserve and receive the
love and respect of all who are capable of ap
preciating devotion, fortitude, and self sacrifice
Their example will be invaluable to you. In
all the relations of life stick to the standards
which have been recognized at home, and keep
alive and transmit to your children the virtues
and graces which constitute your peculiar heri
tage. Wilmington Journal.
Diseases of Hogs. Swine are much more
subject to disease than most persous imagine, and
the human species who eat swine are much more
interested in the preservation of their health,
than is generally conceived. Many of the dis
eases of mankind, we imagine, originate in the
consumption of unhealthy animal food. If so,
it is important that all animals should be in a
peifcctly healthy state, when slaughtered for food.
On the subject of the diseases of hogs, the last
Danville Times publishes a letter from a Mr Kemp
who seems to have had .considerable experience
in their management. He thinks that the pre
valent disease this winter among hogs, generally
called cholera, is nothing but fever. lie classes
the diseases of hogs thus; measles, fever, mange,
murrian or leprosy and gargut.
He has cored a number afflicted with fever or
so-called cholera, with the following prescription:
one tea-spoonful of spirits of turpentine, one table
spoonful of castor oil, and one table-spoonful of
sulphur, to be given as soon a3 the disease appears,
and to be repeated frequently.

.SSIf The freed oien of Charlotte, .at a meeting
held in their Church week before last, adopted
the following sensible resolutions :
Resolved, ,1. That we hold it to be the duty
of. every good citizen to give his aid to the de
velopment of the:resources of his native State.
2. That we protest against the furnishing of
transportation, at the expense of the Govern
ment, to remove labor from where it is needed,
to forward the interest of speculators who come
here and pay a bonus of from 315 to 20 per
head, to runners to induce hands to leave their
employment, or refuse to make contracts at
home; and then deceive the Government by
representing that the people ore suffering for
waut of work, that they may obtain transporta
tion. 3 That we form ourselves into an anti-emigration
league, and that we invito the co-operation
of the neighboring farms, and all others
favorable to the cause.
4. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to
Gen. O. O. Howard, Superintendent of the
Frcednian's Bureau; and that they be published
in tne city papers.

A New Cure for Consumption. A re
cent letter from Paris to the New York Even
ing Post says : ,
M. Baleguer addresses a communication to
M. Piorry, in Le Courrier Medical, describing
the properties of a new oil, that seems endowed
with a marvellous facility for traversing animal
membranes. If a ferv drops are poured into the
palm of the hand, aud the palm rubbed with a
finger, the oil is soon seen oozing through the
back of the hand. The same experiment tried
on tne tore-arm produces the. same rcsuit.
When the oil is saturated by aforcigo substance
it loses none ot this remarkable power tor ab
sorption, and can theretore serve as a vehicle
par excellence for the administration of drugs.
The experiment has been tried with copaiba

sults. When the oil, saturated with iodine,
was rubbed upon the palm of the hand, and the
back of the haud wiped with a piece of muslin,
the muslin was tinged violet. M. Baleguer be

that a rational hope might be entertained of its
power to arrest tuberculization in the lungs and
prevent hemorrhage. Among the patients upon
whom he has tried this method, in the first
stages of consumption, he has found the physi

unac-

the further elucidation of its characteristics.
Dimensions or Heaven. The calcuhtions
here mad, based on a text in Revehiioug, is !
copied from an old Western paper:
A Description of Heaven. Revelation, xxi
chapter, 10ih verse: "And be measured the
city with a reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The
length, heigbth and breadth of it are equal."
Twelve thousand furlongs, 7,920,000 feet,
which being cubed, is 918,088,000,000,000,
000,000,000 cubic feet, the half of which we
will reserve for the throne of God and the court
of Heaven, half of the balance for the streets,
and the remainder divided by 4.96, the cubical j
feet in the roomi 19 feet square and 1G feet
high, will be 5,743,750,000,000 rooms.
We will new suppose the world always did
and always will contain 900,000,000 of inhabi

2,700,000 every century, and that the world
will stand 100,000 years 27,000,000,000,000
persons. Then suppose there were 11,230 such
worlds, egual to this number of inhabitants and
duration of years, tbeo there would be a room
16 feet long, and 17 wide .and 15 feet high for
each person, and yet there would bedroom.

COTTON. :s
The annual trade summaries of business doot
io 1866, issued by leading broken ia Liverpool,
say .
"The year 1860 has been a very memorable
one whether me regard the extraordinary flue
tu&tions in price or the almost magical change
io the' aspect of cotton -supply; ii has bseo a
year fertile io surprises, baffling all commercial
calculations, and altogether without parallel ia
the history of the cottoo trade." For 1867, the
prospects of a Urge cotton supply are set down
43 "the reverse of favorable." The United
States and India, now the principal sources of
supply, gave far more cotton in. 1865 than wis
calculated upon. Yet, the past season io Amer
ica is described as "an unusually bad one" the
very worst known within living memory. .It is
estimated for 1867, that 1,800,000 bales will be
the United States crop, of which 900,000 may
come to England or perhaps, with an early
season And good crop, 100,000 more against
an import of 1,163,000 bales, in 1866. From
India there will be a great deficiency ia the
early part of the present year; very little cottou
was being shipped, and thsre was but a poor
supply in stock. From this and the shattered
state of Bombay finances, India will not. bo able
to ship cotton largely to England earlier than
March. The deficiency in the import of India
cotton will probably be 400,000 to 600,000 bales
in the first half of 1867, as compared with 1866;
If prices in Europe are high, Urge qutntities of
cotton will be drawn from India; if low, the
native consumption will absorb a great deal -The
growing crop all over India is reported
"large and good." From .Egypt and Brazil ac
counts are very unfavorable. One of the Trade
Circulars says :
"Putting West India and other sundries on
the same footing, the aggregate supply to Great
Britain for the year would bo as follows :
1867.

Total, 3,200,000 . 3,750,000
"These figures show a falling off in the im
ports of 550,000 bales as compared with the past
year, and a deficiency of fully 250,000, as com
pared with the deliveries for consumption and
export (3,5.72,000 bales), so that if the same
rate of delivery were maintained for 1867, the
stock at the end of the year in Liverpool and
London would be reduced from 581,000 balea
to nearly 200,000 bales.
"Of course, such a result as this could not be
allowed, and at least 400,000 bales would be
kept in tho ports, so that on the theory of sup
ply we have given tho deliveries for homo con
sumption, and export would have to be curtailed
200,000 bales in 18G7, as compared with 1866."
The question is, what price can Manchester
pay for the manufactured article, and yet keep
the looms and spindles of Lancashire workiog
full time? At present the Lancashire factories
are working at a loss, rather than create troubles
among the operatives by going into "short time'
the manufacturers will go on losing as little as
they can, but certainly losing. Dear bread and
dear cotton will be the probable evils of 18G7
in England.
A Nice Law. Do you know why China is
called "the celestial country?" It's because
they have a law there which wipes out all debts
on the first day of January, whether people are
able to pay or not. Who will say that is not
better than the villainous custom of taking notes,
or keeping accounts. How delightful it must
be, after a constable has set up with you faith
fully until the 31st day of December, to emerge
the next day and not know him I Creditors are
very insignificant creatures thereon New Year's
day. The Chinese are very respectable people
in my opinion, and I have no doubt that, if
their law was adopted here, it would be con
sidered a big thing. Then there would be no
lawyers, and writs and sheriffs and other dis
turbers of domestic peace, and everybody would
prosper, instead of being io a state of chronio
insolvency like we are. In conclusion I would
advise you not to try to be a creditor. Credi
tors aie nuisances and are about to be abolished.
The Legislature considers them "bad eggs."
Lost by not Taking a Paper The
Charlestown (Virgioia) Free Press says: Some
time ago, a gentleman in Charlestowa was ap
pointed soditor to distribute the funds io the
bands of the administrators among the creditor!.
Notice of the auditor was published.
It so happened that a few creditors residing
in a certain portion ox tne county, who bad col-
Actively claims to the amount of ven or fight
hundred dollars, from the neglect of takinz a
county paper, never heard of the audit until
after the report of the auditor had been con-
J firmed by the court They then csme into town
to inquire about the likelihood of-securiog their
claims; called upon an attorney, who examined
into the matter, and informed them that .they
j had forever lost their money, and we presume
j charged tbem five dollars for the information!
j All this resulted in being too penurious to take
a paper.
Relations witu Relaxio.xs Wfaeo rela
tions begin to feel out of humor with their re
lations, the disease, if encouraged, becomes
mons'rons and unrootable. Caaes have been
known where oear relations have lived together
for years and years without exchanging a word.
And wbec death came and separated tbem,
flood of remorse embittered the last yean of the
one left, until they were ready to pray to God
to send death for them aUo, to relieve them 4f
their intolerable anguish Even good, .pious,
truthful people are sometimes victims .to this
bitterness of feeling against their relation.
1 They perhaps suffer from the sopereilliouj pride
of hiughty relations, who, very inferior to them
in goodness and worth, yet accident hariog made
them rich and prosperous, they feel tbey have
ja right to snub their joor Jelation.
