SIIERRl.Lt, C. S. C. 1 1 ! j Spots on the Sun. it The Chicago Tribnne says that one of the most remarkable spot clusters ever seeh on the sun is now vssible on that side which- is turned towards us and situated in about 23 degrees; of sun latitude. An' observation taken ai 6 o'clock on the afternoon of July 29th, showed a gjoup of fourteen 'spots, most of them small but the spot was central one very large. The principal intensely black and shaped something like a minie bullet, the axis being nearly parallel to the sun's equator; it was about 11,000 miles broad by 20,000 milesi n length. . Around it was a monster penumbra, its outline correspjnding al most exactly with that of the spot proper, ex ceptat the apex of the bullet-shaped mass, where ltjnowed off, forming a wavy, tail which extend- ii uAienu- t-q mil iuu,uuu miles, running east, nd then curving around to the north. ; The tail portion inclosed three of the smaller spots, land, thus touched the outside of two others. T.He appear ancei of the1 penumbra in the telescope can best be' likened 1 to that of a closely woven spider's web,! which had been thickly ; strewn uver with dusty particles. iThe diameter of the wniinibra at jits broadest part was a little more thau 28,000 miles, and its total area 750,000,000 of miles (or one part in 880 of the total apparent surface of the sun). On the eveniug of August 1st, the black nucleus had become nearly roun 1 and the penumbra had changed correspondingly, while itsj tail was considerably shoi teuejl and streamed out almost on a right line from the larger por- tlOll.j I ! same; The smaller spvifs retained nearly the relative positions, but 1 two of them had visibly iucreascd in size since July 29th BLackmailixo. Judc Dowling made an astounding assertion recently, in his astounding way,S relative to; blackmailers. He said that seemingly intelligent and reputable men make it a busiucss to follow rich and prominent men to'places of ill repute, and then extort money from' then under threats of exposure.

Why do Children :Die? ; In answerto this question the 31cdioal Record holds the following language: j The reason why childrenj die, is, because they are not taken careof. From theday ofbirth they are stuffed with food, chocked with physic, splash ed with water, suffocated in hot rooms,; and steam ed ia bed clothes. So much for indoor. When permitted to breathe a breath of pure air once a week in summer, and once or twice during the cold months, ouly the nose is permitted to peer into daylight. A little later they are sent but with no clothes at all on the part of the body which most need protection. Hare legs, bare arms, bare necks, girted middles, with an invert ed umbrella' to collect the air and chill the other -na-., of the bod vJ: A stout: stroDer man . coes i'-lf;tn n i;' Uth i ,WPL nnd nvt onl. en stockings, aud i thick, Idoujble-eoled boots, with cork between and" rubbers oter. The same day, j a child oi three years old, an infant of flesh and blood and b6ne and constitution, goes out ? with; shoes as thin as paper, cotton! sockslogs uncover ed to the k nees. neck bare ; an exposure which would disable the burse, kill 'him outright, and make the father an invalid for weeks. And why?; To harden them io a moideor dress which they are never eipectcd to practice. Tbjaccustohi them to exposure . which a dozen years later woulcTbe considered ; dowiirijrht foolery. I - j To rear children thus! for j the slaushter-penj, and then lay it to the il!i6rdi is too i bad. We don't think the Almighty had any hand in it. The NegRo IIace to be Wiped out-- It is charjred that! Governor Sctfc, the radical Gov ernor of SoUth Carolina i: entrusted with the special mission from his 'Northern brethren, of the total destruction of the black rrce iti South Carolina. It has 'leaked shortly after the; close 1 of out that Congress, the war, favored a conflict A- bf races in i the , South thert by n 1 -i L- i n thej Southern whites the lagents in ruction of; the black; race. And it has the des recently come to light that 11.1 K. Scotf, Governor of South Cafoliuaj advocated, this policy to Gen. Wade IlauiptonJ (i IJe said to Gen.: Uamptonj. that 'he. was tired of the negroes that he withed to rid the State of them.'' ! Scoit has sought every cipporjt unity: to bring collision, and having failed the tjvo-j races into up tO; this time, he has now issued arms and .fixed ammunition to the negroes jfor the purpose of precipitating the; wicked purposes o'f his party, knowing as hej doesj that a bouflict will, iresult tol the discom feiture and destruction' of !thq negri race.

EST A French soldier, in marching orders, it is staieu, carries on ins duck ana shoulders a L.I. I" f 11', weight of 77 pounds, a vordupois. or oncdhird of the regulation weight carried by asumpter mule. A correspondent of lie JjondoujTelegraph whites tiaj; he recently examined tho;- contents of the pack" carried fy a isoldfer of the '.Fourth Volt i geurs, 011 the march from Paris to the frontjand found it to be composed of the following articles: Ihe Lhasseoot r flej weighing seven aud a half pounds ; the sword,! bayonet and scabbard, three 1 pounds; ten pounds of ammunition, distributed parfly in Jtwpj pouches and f partly! in his knap sack ; a pair of shoes: a foiifr pound loaf of bread; aj canvass foragiiig bag sluu oyer ,the left shoul dcri and containing a pound tobacco, :8oiue cigars, a f ask'of: brandy, a .good-sized ve il and ham pie, s nd a string of garlicj sausages.

I iside the knapsack yhe had a secoud pair of tro vsers; Combs, -brusheneedles, thread, buttons, a pair Of gloves,- a couple of pairs of socks, aud three fcliirts; and iu addition, a qu irt flask was flung over the right shoulder.

She was liberally educated at Hartford, Conn., and subsequently married a Mr. Foster, also a deaf mutie. The fruit.of this maniage was six chil dren, all of whotii can hearand talk like so inauy black birds. 1 Tltey were recently at Notingham. and even the yoiiiigest, a -girl : eighteen months old, could articulate even rao?j; readily than mosil children of her age. What lis most amus ing and interesting is the little child, thds early, can use the deaf j and dumb alphabet readily, and talks to heir mother, telling what she wants to eat, drink, and whether her head aches or throat is sore.! I Indeed, ail the! children are possessed of more thau orditiary intelligence. Exeter Xeir Let ten ! 1 here arc two reasons w iy mc people don't One is that they the second that they miud their own business haven't any business, and have" no mind. Can we get Farmers to Grow their OTra 1 f BreadstnTs? An intelligent practical farmer of JefTersoa county, asks how can we get farmers to prow their oien bread and meat. They are mors en gaged in helping the West to rtow bread aud meat for them; and all the indications are that for a long time to.come they will, continue to do' so. x We fear that the answer to the question is to be sought only in a future of bitter experience by the farmers themselves. Our Ephraims tie joined to their fleecy idol, and will not turn from their ways except taught practically by disaster and failure. The reasoning lo be urged is plain and unerring. Cotton as surjju, is indepen dence, and its production as a surplus is sure means of wealth. Every one admits this. Every one knows that he who stakes hj bread and meat upon a cotton crop, is sure to to swill des truction upon its failure. Dut there seems lo be something so alluring io growing cofton, and the prospect of handling a large number of col ton bales is eo enticing, even though t;hcro should be no profit, that in pite of sound logi and in the face of acknowledged hazards, the desire .among farmers for a large cotton crop is irresistible, and well nigh universal. We havo seen many, very many farmers, lately, who boast of their cotton. We cannot recall a single in stance where one boasted of his corn or wheat crops, or his cattle or stock. There seems to bo something in growing cotton akin to gaming. The cotton planter takes all the hazards of tho seasons, all t he hazards of labor, all the hazards of the cotton market, all the hazards of the money market, and all the hazards of political distur bance in the civilized world. Out of debt, and supplied with grain and forage and stock by his own farm, he' may take these hazards with safety. liut when he superadds the hazards of the Western grain grower, and Subjects himself to slavish dependence aliko upon tlie Northern money lender as well as the Western grain grower, it would rationally seem that all the odds against his prospering have been voluntarily as sumed ; and that nothing short of the wonder. fully happy concurrence of seasons, of supply aud demand, or bnancial ease in -the moiier markets, and of absence of political disturbance, could possibly give him success. Moreover, there is less-security for the price of product than ever before. There are no banks in the South to relieve his necessities. All of the money which moves his cropa to market, and in too many cases which enables him to grow it, comes from tho North. The Northern States own. all of the greenbacks and control the cash box of the country. It is Northern interest that cotton should be low. 1 It is Northern interest that the money rates should be higher. Tho higher the price of cotton, the less money they make. The higher the price of money, the lower the ruling price of cotton, and tlie greater is their gain and prosperity. ' These things seem so plain 1 lmt every one acknowledges them, but the verbal acknowlgemcnt of their truth ii all. There is no modification of policy, no recogni tion by action. Cotton is grown to tho exclu sion of the indispensahles of agricultural econ omy. There is no provision for the next year. There appears to bo an idea prevalent that tho royal road to sudden riches lies through aeddori row, nnd each farmer expects to bo the lucky one who shall make the hit." Now, we fear that a prize schedule for model farmers, who buy neither corn, nor . meat, nor stock, will not avail much not, at least, until the farmers themselves form their agricultural clubs, offer their own and exchange their pre sent views for a more found policy on plantation economy. - We think we can safely offer a. re- L ward for the discovery of f.irincis in the Stnto wn ouy nciiner corn, nor meat, nor stock where with to run his farm ? -Auyuttti Sutittel.. 1 , Working Boys. One of the best ways of fitting a boy for the career of manhood, and of insuring his succors in it, is to enlist his young, eager and irrepressi ble activities iu something practical. Tho rent less energy which bunds out into s 11 kinds of mischievous pranks; if it haj 110 other outlet, .unut what he will need in hard work of life. It does not want curbing, but directing. , lit spousibility is an excellent balance wheel. Giro ' t ie boy this balance wheel ; give him an inter est, if possible, in your farm or your store ; let him have a share io tho labor and tho profits; or if he shows a decided taste for some other employment, encourage it. Givo him every opportunity to study agriculture, or engineering, art. Let him feel that he is goin to be a man,' aud is preparing for a man's work and posi tion. Make him your friend and companion. ,W c know of no better means of making a boy manly aud of keeping him out of mischief than such a course. The history of bad boys and bad men is, in a large majority of cases, written in these words: -Thcy had uot the proper training and incentive." Many are the prison occupants of to-day who can blame their parents lor the lack of proper government and discro-, lion in directing their children's minds and forming their habits, nod many a child, 'now a bright, promising b y, will look out from a gra ted window a f ewyea.fheucc less a victim to his own bad heart than to his bad"britigiug,up.
