DISCOVERY OF A SOUTHERN PLANTER WHICH WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE TIIE, ri:i,TIVATIOX (if THIS STAPLE. A South Carolina farmer, Mr. Theo dore Ferguson, of Spartanburg, has made a discovery that will have an effect upon the agricultural interests of tho Soulh that none can yet foretell. He has pro duced a plant that yields cottou seed in great abundance, but without a sign of lint. Ills process has been tested and has been found satisfactory. It has been manipulated by the deterioration of the amount of lint to the multiplication of the seeds. This has been accomplished by the gradual, careful and critical breed ing of the plant. The results obtained by Mr. Ferguson have been thorough scientific breeding. There arc male and female cotton plants, the male being de situated, he thinks, by the red stalks. Mr. Ferguson commenced some time ago to pick out the male plants and with the seed extracted frum them planted another patch separately. When this crop was ready for picking the male plants weie again selected and their pro duction of seeds planted separately again. This process of selecting male plants was kept up until at last the lint refuses to germinate and nothing is left in the bolls save a large amount of seeds. The auiount of seed contained ill the boll is more than eipial to the weight of the lint and seed found iu the average sized boll of cotton. Mr. Ferguson believes that be can produce lour hundred bushels of seed to the acre by this new discovery where only thirty live bushels are now gathered with the lint. He has been very careful, in producing the results given above, to obliterate all vestiges of lint from a bolt of cotton and has succeeded iu a most re markable manner. The boll or pod of this new plant has the appearance, both on the exterior and in the interior, of u regular boll of cotton alfer the lint has been picked out. The seed is a little larger than the common cotton seed and is perfectly free from any semblance of lint. The bolls are tilled with this seed, which is as numerous as okra seed in a pod of okra. It is also u valuable point iu this new discovery-that the bolls grow in greater profusiou than usual on cotton. The hull of the seed contains a full amount of substauce exactly similar to that found iu cotton seed now used in the oil mills. It is thought that this new staple will paii out in such a manner by judicious cultivation that it will supersede to a great degree the present king. If it is cultivated by the agriculturists in the near future who can tell the benefit that will aiise I herefrom? It will supply the demands for the oil mills aud enrich the farmers. It will, if Mr. Fergurson'a cal culations are correct, yield to the planter 880 where he now makes only 8511 assuming that one acre of cotton will bring gfill. The 9,0 ill be obtained from four hundred bushels of col too seed, at twenty cents per bushel, that being the present price paid for the raw seed. Is any -l''luwer Horn tu lllukli Unseen!"

The Supreme Court of the United States have rendered an opinion affirm ing the judgment of the Supreme Court of North Carolina iu the case of Cross and White, President aud Cashier re spectively of the Statu Natioual Hank uf Kaleigh, N. C. The crime with which they were charged was the forgery of a promissory note and a false entry in the books of the Bank, for the purpose of deceiving the Natioual Itauk examiner as to the financial condition of the bank. It was contended ill behalf of Cross und White that their offense was cognizable in the Federal and not the Statu Courts. It was contended that the I'. S. Courts have exclusive jurisdiction tu try the de fendants for having made false entries on the bank's books; that forgery of the note was an essential element in such entries; and that recognition of the right uf a State to try them for forgery would de feat the jurisdiction uf the Cuitcd Slates to subsequently try them for making false entries, an offence over which the United States have exclusive jurisdiction. The fallacy of this argument, the Court says, is in assuming lhat the making of false entries necessarily involves the erimo of forgery. Hither crime would have been complete without the other. The crime agaiust the State could not be condoned by commilliug another aud distinct crime against the United States. Some oilier minor points arc also decided against the convicted men. The opinion was delivered by Justice Iluilun, tho effect of which will be to compel Cross and White to servo out the term for which they Wro convicted.

CJI IETLY WKIIDKD To MISS .MARY CLY MER ON THE "TH. The greatest agricultural invention of the age was on exhibition at the Georgia State fair a short time ago. It is a cotton chopper, invented by a Mr. Amnions. He has issued a circular wliich contains the following : "My machine is made to go directly across the rows. Tho fruuie of the ma chiue is mounted on a sleigh which is drawn over the beds. Altaehed to the frame are live plows, all adjustable and so arranged that they can be made to cut deep or shallow, and any width wliich it may be desired to leave the cotton. Fol lowing each plow is a drug, also adjusta ble, that pulls from tho bed the cotton and grass cut from the drill and deposits and covers it up in the middle. Not only do the plows thin the cotton to a stand, but they are so arranged that dirt is thrown to the stand left, equal in ben efit lo the cotton as the plowing usually given utter chopping. On the machine is a marker that traces the ground at the proper distance and serves as it guide to the driver of the machine, who, by mak ing the mule walk in the trail made by the marker knows his plows will cut the proper distance from the last row cut when going the opposite direction. By pressing a lever all the plows can be thrown out of the ground and thereby become relieved of w hatever trash may have accumulated on them, or to allow them to puss over small stumps or rocks. Kvery part of the machine acts automati cally, and one or all the plows may be raised out of the ground at will. Then, when ut the end of the field and wishing to turn around, by pressing three levers, all the plows are elevated, the sleigh frame is elevated and the weight of Uic entire machine is left on wheels which revolve on an axle and the machine is turned around with all ease. The beauty of the whole machine is, that there ure no com plicated parts, and any portion breaking, giving away or needing repairs, can be furnished or fixed by auy ordinary black smith. "I claim that with one hand und a mule my machine will chop and leave in splendid condition lifleeu acres per day. Let us mj twelve acres would be anaver day's work. There is twelve acres of cottou and two plowings saved at a cost of ? I. fill. By hand you would first have to side the cottou. To side twelve acres of cotton Would require oue hand aud a mule lour days at a cost uf 80. Then it would lake one band twelve days at 10 eeuts a day to chop it, $4.80; and then to dirt the cotton after hoeing would re ouirc oue hand aud a mule four days, at a cost of So, making a total of til! 80, or a saving of 810 .30 in favor uf the machiuj on twelve acres of cotton. "Not only this: As stated before, cotton chopped with the uiachiue baa sufficient dirt throwu to it and enough if the grass iu the middles is covered up lo allow the eottou lo stand just as left after chopping tor at least eight days without sufiering for work, which is equal tu two plowings; hen as, by the old method of hoeing it is almost absolutely necessary to follow the hoeing with immediate plowing.

SCROFULA IN CHILDREN, The following is taken from a letter written uuder dale of July 1, 18S9, by Mrs. Ruth Berkley, u most charitable and Christian lady, ol'Sulina, Kan.: "In the early part of I His" scrofula appeared on the head of my little grandchild, then only eighteen months old. Shortly after breaking out it spread rapidly all over her body. The scabs on the sores would peal on ihe slightest touch, and the odor that would arise would make the atmos phere of the room sickening and unbear able. The disease next attacked the eyes and we feared she would lose her sight. Eminent physieians from the surrounding country were consulted, but could do nothing to relieve the little in nocent, and gave it as their opinion, that the case was hopeless aud iinpissi ble to save the child's eyesight.' It was then that we decided to try Swif t's Spe cific (S. S. S.) That medicine at once made a speedy anil complete cure. For more than a year past she has been as any child iu the laud."
