Railroad Future- of the South, j
No element of Southern strength is go hopeful
no me lucuuj anu encapness wun wnicn fail
roads can be built over her flat country eiDe
cially across her cotton., rice, sugar and tobacco
regions. - It is well said by a late writer 'that a
country without railroads ; is like a locomotive
without fuel. The traveler, iu the South is al
ways oppressed by the comparative scarcity ofj
f iisciiun in i ne cars; out nc is apt to iorget
her valuable freight in the great prbducts!of the
soil and the comparatively small, cost, of con-!
structnig her roads. Of course, population is
the great need of the South, but this will come
just as certainly as it followed the railroads of
the est. "And in regard to cheap farms, varied
products, and mild climate, the South has ad
vantages of which ouf new territories have never

though most digoi-

perfectly at his ease. The courtliness; ofj Old
Hickory is a strong proof of his having Been one
of Nature's jnoblemen ; for he lived jail (.-his
youngest days amid the! roughest scenes in
America. The following story was told !us, a
few months jsiuce, by a fvencrable gentletnanj
whose word is guarantee for ijts truth. Ve pub
lish it, for nothing concernin g the personal char
acteristics of jso great a; man', as Geueral Jackson
should be allowed to perishJ r . j

in this countr', was the beautiful and accom

I Jackson: was President, and from her connec.tion
with one of the most renuwnedi families ofj the
liritish peerage, she saw more of the aristocptic
world than fjills jto the lot bf most Americans,
ust before slie returned hoijuo j she appeared at
the Eng4is1i Court, and took tier leave. Geprge
IV. sent a message: by her to General Jackson,
which he charged jher to deliver in persoh. j Ac
cordingly, soon after heri arrival, she ,wetjt to
Washington to deliver the message of the lying.
She had nevpr stien General Jackson, but had
hjeard so imjch tp his dis;rdvantagc front his
political jad versa fiels that she was not much pre
possessed in his fairpr. Nevertheless, as shes had
determined td J risk'' a visit, she sent fbrj James
Buchanan to introduce hot. i
j ?o James went 'j with her to the .Preside itial
mansion' and having escorted j her intq the re
ception room !he went up stairs to' isee the (Jen
eral, whom he fdjiucTin an old dressing gpwn,
with his1 pipe in ljis mouth -and witli his gray
beard several jdaysj old. J I j.
I He informed him of the elegant lady whoj had

Upon! this hint James said no more, but Went
down. into the reception room tpawait th arrival
of the General and introduce him to Mrs. C -.
In quite a short time thel President c'anie down
well dressed and, neatly shaven. Mr Buchanan
introduced hiiu tojMrs. C-j -- and retired. j
I Left alonejwith old Andrfew, she, with some
trepidation!, delivered her message Jo theuan
whom she had been taught to consider a sort of
wild cat!: butj slie jwas so much! reassured b his
captivating inanners that she sOou lost all dread
of hint, and
entered into, a conversation 1 that
lasted nearly
au hour, after which she arose to
leave, aqd the
President- escorted her to ithe
door, wherej she found Buchahauwaimig for -her

Ashes as a Fertilizer. - ;
j In one thing farmers arq seriously remlu, and
that is the use of ashes. j . )
How many have tried sowing asheJ largely
on grass lauds, that is, sow them thick ; aj
from ten to thirty bushels to the acre 7 Not
one in a thousand have tiied the smaller figure;
few have applied five bushels aud not many any
at all. . Ashes arei usually sown with planter iu
the East; double the quantity of ashes to that of
plaster, aud about three biuhels to tho aor
in all. i
Here and there a farmer makes experiment
with ashes; and still more 1cm thorough, con-
tinued cxpritueuta. j These we gantrally get in
the papers. But what do they teach us? AU
ways that it is well to sow fishes on grass lands,
and apply them on some other crops, i. Indeed,
there are few, if any crops that arc uot benefitted.
And thjis is not singular when we consider thnt
potash is a necessity to plaut life, and that th
soil, alter many years' cropping becomes exlnuA
ted, of this as of, all other ! fertilizers. Hence,
where laud lias been long run aud ashes haT
not been applied, it is pretty strong evidouc
that their application will be a benefit.!
' There are tables showing the bcucfit of ashes:
these have becu given in j ail tho agricultural
papers, and need uot be repeated here; but it
need be repeated often that ashes (potash) ar
not only necessary, but a very; great advautogo.

j VIl these are given to the soil in the use of
ashes; and if largely used, the effect is augment
ed;! thus we see the. advantage of usiug plonti
fully of this, common fertilizer.'' ' i
Now, ashes have au immediate effect; also a
prolonged effect; this Is in j conscoucnce of some
of the ingredients beiug more solubld than the
resL Potash dissolves at once and goes to tha
benefit of the plaut. So da some other substan
ces. The lime, aud phosphoric acid act more
tardily; and these are of importance. It takes
years to completely dissolve these, and while they
arc still undissolved tiicy are all the tohile actinj;
as a manure, slowly decomposing,
j Applications' at intervals of years, therefir
woiild be the way to apply these ; and in leach- -ed
ashes we have just these lasting elements.

wfluuust apply often, yearly. ? Hence it is bct1

Lime.
j But few indeed understand the principle in
volved in the use of lime; they think if thj
time; every three or four years they cannot fail
to have good crops ;but lime is not a manure of
itself, it must always have vegetable or animal'
matter to work fln ; fresh slacked lime if applied
to any moist vegetable . , matter, forming a com
post! of which a part is soluble in water; this Is
one very good way to. use it, for then wc apply
both vegetable matter and an agent Which-will
render the vegetable matters plant food. Quick
lime, applied to laud, tends to bring any hard
vegetable matter that it 'contains into! a state Of
morej rapid decomposition and -solution, mo as to
render it proper food of j plants ; orj if animal
matter exists it causes the evolution of ammo,
niaeal gasses which are takcu up by the leave
and by a certain process . during their growth i
chan
;ed into trluten.
! It
then wiil appear that 'the lime docs not
any direct actiou on tho growth of plant.
nave
neither does it contain any ninnurial properties.
but becomes 4o valuable to farmers by the action
whicjli it takes on inert vegetable matter, by dis
engaging the ammonia and azote s. that it may
act on the growing phnts. ; I
j Tile re is siilJ .another, species of lime that I
forgot to mciAiorl; it is the sulphate of lime, some
time called gypsum or plaster; this is another
goodlthing to apply toi grass as a top dressing;
but for other purposes it is not so good, unless
mixed with ashes or soda o.sh. Agricola, ut

Little Girl Buried Alive. About
four weeks ago a little fierman girl in Brooklyn,
Ohio, took sick with the lock-jaw, and in a few
days she was thought dead aud was buried. On
the evening of her burial the mother, -for some -ret-son,
was led to the grave, and, with her car '
pressed close to the ground, thought sho heard
a noise, and believed her child to be moving iu -its
boffin. She withheld from asking assistance
for fear of being ridiculed, and immediately pro
cured a spade and began to dig up the earth.
Soon she came to the cofiiiiand hurriedly taking
it from the earth, opened it, and there found the
body of her child,, nine hours after its burial, as
warm as if it were living, and Iyin-r on its side. fc
She took the child to her bouse, whero a physt
cian was immediately called in. nd every resto
rative applied to bring the child to life. It was
too late. The soul had taken. its flighted in a
few hours more the body was cold and icy. , It
was soon buriepgaio.--Buffalo Expreu.
