! Go d in the Sontb. There w.s a time: when North Geor gia Ava cHmsuleredrthe best gold field on Ihis JLijjiiiVeiit.! The mines about I)ahUne;a were very profitable sind ttraded1nlveuturers from many states. The C difuruia cold fever of 1840 almost brtik up ' gold mining in Georgia, and jiever since that time has it je-.iunl it 'fnrmrr importance.

ExfMrts who have visited the gold region of (ieorgia are satisfied tkat it Aojtains a large quantity of the precious Hiatal utA tiiui its -fuller development will s'on begin. It will probably be hasten 'l by the exhaustion and aban donment. f trold mine? .in -the West. A writer in the Manufacturers' Hfconi, "after air examination of the iiidge region, thinks that mining by improved pne"sses can be made very profitable there. lie shows that if we.j3'mp.re gold mining of forty yearn at;o and gold mining of to-dav, we find very many changes.

Tire cart and tramways have also given way to quicker and more ee ftomical devils. The old-fashioned fctanip mill which only did active work duriug the sdiort period of coutact be tween peMe and mortar, has also been replaced- by powerful crushing wheels doing continuous work with less pow er. The sledge hammer, which pre pared the ore for the stamp mill, has also had its day, and powerful crushers Kave an immense amount of labor. Concentration of the ore, the use of mercery and other phases of mining hav also been much improved since 111 i time. m Chemistry has coijti ibutcd its sh ire of innovations-by giving he chlorination process, by which t5 -fiercent of the gold becomes available .and is regained. It is not likely that we shall see another gold fever, but it seems cer tain that the foothills of Georgia, the Carol-iuus and Virginia, which are known to contain gold, will soon be tfiore generally and more thoroughly ' i . , . - 1 1 A 1 A. worked than ever before A Bright Outlook in the South. The -Manufacturers1 Record says: Throughout the South there is a : marked revival in industrial matters and many nw enterprises are being established. A number thai were pro jected during the boom dys, and which collapsed when the panic came, ne being pushed to completion now, or arebeinj reorganized preparatory to active vork again. It will be some time jet, "though, before some of these crippled concerns can be put on their feet, but the outlook grjws steadily brighter.- Local financial iuteresls have been strengthened, debts have been paidand the South generally has been potting its business affairs in order during the pst two years. The confidence of outside capitalists in the booth as a place for large investments has been g&atly inci eased by the man ner in -vhieh that section lias stood the financial strain, and northern money will in the future go into Mmthern Tuauufacturii-is lg en.erprisrs lery freely.

The fact is, that ahes are really! a mixed fertilizer, and a complete oue o far as the mineral elements of plant food are concerned. This must be ap parent to any one who considers that they nre the whole residue of plants af ter lein burned, and except that part which returns to the atmosptere Irom which it was originally procured. The nitrogen, and the carbon of the trees alone are thus wanting in "the ashes, which contain everything else required by the crops. Thus it is only reason able to infer that 'the benefit derived train a dressing of ashes to any crop must be due to the other elements as well a to potash, and the more so when we observe that leached ashesiiw j which there is but a trace of potash, j are 01 leu as useiui hs uie umratiit-u. ; The ashes of all wo ds contain in va- 1 ry ying proportions, potasii, lime, and diosnhoric acid. The barks of trees are richer in Time than in potash, and as all plants contain Hme, this element of the ashes must certainly be taken into account as well as the phosphoric acid. ' Every discovery tends to throw new light on what has loiig h?en known in farm practice, and that interesting and important one in regard to the man ner in which plants derive nitrogen from atmospheric sources is one of these enlightening discoveries, and it has a close connection with the subject in hand. It is known that this ab sorptiun of atmospheric nitrogen goes on most easily in soils that have a con siderable quantity of lime in them. Indeed it may be said that this supply of lime is indispensable to this action of the nitrogen germ, which must have lime within reach for its growth on the roots. Then we see how useful is this too often ignored element of the ashes, and how it is that these may be defi cient or wholly wanting in potash and yet exert a notable effect on the crops. This explains that it the lime in the ashes and not the potash which is the cause of that noticeably greater effect in tie production of plant food in the soil, and what is improperly called their stimulating effect; and how it is that an application of wood ashes in creases t he-yield of crops to a greater extent than the actual plant food con tained in them would warrant. IS. Ma con in Amerirun Agriculturist. Peach Rot. Rot is the greatest enemy of the peach in North Carolina. Peach rot is not caused by the curculio, us many suppose, but by a microscopic fungus known to botanists us monilia frudi gena The spores or "-germs- of this fungus live through the winter in the r tten, dried-up fruit, on the trees and un the pits of the fruit which has fall en and rotted on the .ground beneath the trees. To save the crop the first thing is to throughlv disinfect the orchard. Remove and burn all with ered fruit still on the trees. Gather up and burn all the peach pits from be neath trees. These make excellent fuel. Next apply a liberal dressing of 4tir-slaked time" .beneath and around the trees. Burn also al! primings. After the flowers have fallen spray with IMPRCTlD BORDEAUX MIXTURE. Conner sulphate ( bhlrstone .1 nonnd. Fresh lime 1 pound. Molasses J pi ut. Water 10 gallons. Directions.. Dissolve the sulphate in a-wooden, glass or earthenware ves sel in o gallons of water. In another vessel slack the lime in 1 gabon of water. Rub lime until all lumns have i oeen oroken, then adt the molasses, strain and stirshrwly into the sulphate; never pour the sulphate upon the lime. When all ebullition Las ceased dilute to 10 gallons und use. One-half ounce of Pans green or London purple may be added to each 10 gallons of this mixture. When the ai-seuite- is used it will be best to sprinkle it upon the lime before slaking the lime i lie above fungicide will -at the same time protect the tree from "leaf curl," and if the arsenite is used will protect against all gnawing insects. Not more than the prescribed quantity of arsen- lte should be used. Gerald McCarthy, N. 0. Experiment Station. Improving the Ballot. The Australian ballot system, while a Kqod reform" in the main, has several features which peed amending lefure it cau be accepled as ati almost perfect and honest mode of voting. As it now stands, thousand of voters have been disfranchised by the misapprehension of not being allowed to stamp oppos ite a candidate'i name after havini? once stamped the party emblem. Let there be but one way of voting, bv stampingthe square by the side of each person that you wish to vote for. A voter once instructed to stamp the square to th left of each person that lie wished to vote for will not onlv confuse, but actually expedite voting. Another feature of the law which should Be changed is the case with ballots as defective. As protection in the right of yoking is secrecy, so should the ballot be protected af tr it is cast. so long as the intent of .the voter can ie ascertained. Aoblesville Ledger.

J. An TJnf ought DueL " The recent absurd revival of duelling in several countries of the continent of Europe, has recalled a tory which was the delight of Berlin some years ago, and which capitally satirized this barb arous custom. Dr. Virchow, the em inent man of scieuce, had been sharply criticising Prince Bismarck, who was then chancellor. At the enl of V particularly severe attack Bismarck felt himself person ally affronted, and sent seconds to Vir chow with a challenge to fight a dueL The man of science was found in his Ialorutorj, hard at work at experi ments which had for their object the discovery of a means of destroying tri chinaj, which were making great rav ages in uennany. k,Ah," said the doctor, wa challenge from Princ Bi-marCk, eh! Well, well! as 1 am the challenged nartv 1 suppose I have the choice of weapons. Here they are.11 He held up two large sausages, which seemed to be exactly alike. "One of these sausages," he said, "is filled with trichina; ; it is deadly. The other is perfectly wholesome. Exter nally they can't be told apart. Let his excellency do me the honor to choose whichever of these be wishes, and eat it, and I will eat the other." Though the proposition was as reas onable as any duelling proposition could be, Prime Bismarck's represent atives refused it. No duel was fonght, and no one accused Virchow of cow oidice. Lifts an Elephant with His Teeth. Milo, the famous athlete of ancient Greece, the man who was victor at both the Olympic and Pythian games for six different times ltiMiccessiou, and whose chief claim to fame rests upon the feat of running lour miles with a three-year-old fox upon hi: shoulders, would hide his head with shame could he visit London and witness the won lerful feats Informed by Sullivan, th modern Samson. Sullivan is only 31 years of age and weighs but 108 pounds, yet he is a physical giant without an equal in the known world. He regularly goes through a routine of feate illustrative of his wonderful strength, the most re markable being the actual lifting of an elephant with his teeth. The elephant is not a Jumbo, to be sure, neither is he small, especially when you come to consider the size of the man who does the lifting and the usual dimensions and strength of human teeth. The elephant daily and nightly swung like a pendulum from Mr. Sullivan's teeh is known as "the infant,'-and weighs between 1,800 and 2,00.0 pounds. This remarkably strut g man is' probably the only one in the world who litis more than 1,000 pounds with the teeth alone. Another favorite trick of h s is that of lifting a barrel of water oGti pound with one finger. 67. Louis licpu'Aic. A Bear Si or;- McDowell (Va.)
