It appears that the plain tills threw up the contract after a shrt time in connection with the building of the road, and entered suit against the company for alleged failure to com ply with the terms entered into.

The Chinese and the Califor nia Swamps. Although the pres ence of the Chinese in California is a matter which is not altogether agree able to the average California, their usefulness in one respect Is generally acknowledged. In the work of con structing levees their services have been most valuable, as they will work in water without a murmur, and dig In mud and slime where a white man could not bi induced to work for love or money. They have, in fact, monopolized the business, but heretofore have shown no dispo sition to purchase the lands reclaim ed by tbeis labors, although always ready to rent it on shares. Of late, however the Chinese have begun to buy swamp lands iu large quanities, one sale of 2,000 acres having very recently been affected at good figures. O'jeratious have been commenced on the lands purchased, preparing them for a crop, and those acquainted with the race think they will "astonish the natives" when they get to their harvesting time. It is expected that as the Chinese becomes owners of these swamp lands a better and more enduring system of reclamation will ensue. They will keep their levees strong and safe, thus benefiting oth ers besides themselves, and will be In other wavs a vauable element In the community. art A a- . caeiioa oi BBicanbe on the " estera If. C. Tobacco Crop. At a meeting of the Executive committee of the North Caroli na Agricultural Society held in this city on the 9th inst., Col. Shelton of Asheville was called upon for Infor mation as to his experience in the culture of tobacco in the county West of the Blue Ridge. He has done so In the following remarks which we present to our readeis. Cel. Shelton is a Virginian, and lived until the past few years In the most favored part of the Virginia to bacco region. He carried the experi ence of many years with him to the county of Buncombe, and has con ducted his operation on a large and successful scale. He is emphatically the pioneer of tobacco culture in Buncombe, for though long raised there, it was only for home nse, never for market. The following is an extract from his remarks: extract of tiie remarks of col. shelton. The culture of tobacco in Western North Carolina is now a settled fact. Thousands of pounds of fancy wrap pers are now prooucea, wnere ten years ago, the crop was scarcely known. Iam not here to Bpeak of the advantages of our transmontane sec tion, but of the culture of tobacco. New things are continually develop ing in this important branch of agri culture. It would doubtless be inter esting to this committee to trace the meauderings of this almost romantic subbject. The effect it has upon and will exercise over the finances of this government will be admitted toy all. That it is a useless article in the ab stract, I am willing to admit, but the money It brings, the interest itde- velopes, cannot be lightly spoken of. i win now only revert to the fact that I have made this useless crop my lie time study. 1 have made many assaults on old fogyism in my career, out me most important is to tell the tobacco planter that he has wasted thousands of dollars in curing a use- ess cumbrous stalk when he could have done otherwise ; to tell him that he only sends the leaf to market, and that all the money be spends upon the stalk is money thrown away, and that he ought to divide his grist instead of carrying a stone in the other end of the Back. There is one point I wish particularly to call his attention to. He loses ten percent of the weight or his tobacco by cur ing it on the stalk. Nature's God has ordained that all vegetation in dying or drying up sends its sub stance back to its original stalk. The corn, thejgruss, the leaves everything speaks this truth in lessons not to be misunderstood. Can tobacco be ex empted from this law of nature?! have experience on this subject. 100 plants of green tobacco weighed 230 pounds, one half of this was cured on the stalk, and one half off the stalk. The naked stalks were also cured. oz. Result i that cured off the stalk Stalks weighed 12 10 fi. 11 19. ihs. oz. Cured on the stalk, 11. 06 Stalk on this top, 8. 19. ti. You will observe that the grand total is just the same except one ounce, and in this lot cured off the stalk I gain 15 ounces or something like 8 per cent on the leaf, while the other gains one pound, but that gain is in a worthless stalk. Comment is unnecessary. IFor the Dally News, to the Ladies of North Carolina. Circular Ladies : Eighty years ago, when the State University was founded, and when all the friends of educa tion iu the State were looking with fond aud glad anticipation upon the new enterprise, a few of the ladies of that day most conspicuous for social position, refinement and culture came forward and presented the in fant Institution with a pair of globes ! and a quadrant as an expression ol their sympathy and cordial good ; wishes ior its success. It was done by them without solicitation and was well and kindly done, aud.tluir names are preserved to-day with affectionate respect and gratitude at Chapel Hill. Will the ladiesof North Carolina in 1875 do as much for the college which has educated so many of their grandfathers, fathers, lovers, broth ers, husbands and sons for more than two generations, which, in educating and elevating the men has also equally though Indirectly elevated and bene fitted the women of the State; and which, after a period of neglect, is again revived to renew its good work for the land we love ? Have the ladies of 1875 as much pa triotism, as much intelligence, as much liberality, as much public spirit as the ladies of 1795? We be lieve they have more. Will they now step forward, with grace, and dignity all their own, and lend their aid and countenance to the gentle men of the State in their attempt to refit and refurnish their University, so as to put the advantages it offers our young men on an equal footing with those of any of the first class colleges in the Union ? This appeal is made to you, Ladies, in the confi dent hope that you will. The University scientific apparatus Is in ruins. The gentlemen of the Faculty are managing out ot the wreck to make shift for the present, but every wreck in its course brings them nearer the time when a new outfit for all the Departments of Natural- Seieuce will be imperatively and unavoidably necessary. What arrangements the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees may be able to make to meet this call is uncertain. They talk of em ploying an agent to canvass the State. Meanwhile, the way Is clear for the ladies of the State, by personal effort in soliciting subscriptions, and by giving liberally themselves, to secure to themselves the honor of supplying the pressing need, and present the college with an apparatus second to none In this country. Our boys need it, and they must have it. The ladies can do this, if they will. There is do doubt of that. Their in fluence and their example have work 1875. ed miracles before now. and can do it again. If the matrons will sanction, and if the young ladies will take it DPt organize systematically in every cuy ana town, select committees, and give their time seriously for a few weeks to the work of raising money, they can easily make the University a Christmas present of ten thousand dollars ($10.0 0 ) We suggest that the ladies of each town should select some instrument or apparatus to present; their names to be engraved on it for their great grandchildren to read. For instance theladiesof might choose to give a fine telescope; the ladies of say a Holtz electric mach ine; the ladies of a pair of J200 globes ; the ladies of , an Alwood's Ma chine; the- ladies of , a Ruhmkoff's il ; the ladies of , a Galvanic Battery ; the la dies of , a set of Wall Maps ; the ladies of , a set of Instruments for illustrating sound, ligh', electricity, Ac. : the la dies of : , a Magic Lan tern for scientific illustration ; the ladies of- r, might under take to furnish the - Department of Analytical Chemistry (Prof. Kimber- ly's) ; and the ladies of , that of Elementary Chemistry. Geo logy and Mineralogy (Prof. Redd's.) The articles suggested cost, each, from foO to ?200, or ?400. The chem icals and small pieces needed in the Uabratones, too numerous to men tion, would cost from $150 to 500. Each of the Departments of Natural Scienceneed3 from 52500 to $3,000 ex pended on it. This is the work we set before our ladies. It appeals to the best feelings and beet principles Of our common nature,.' and calls into exercise every generous and tender emotion. Done, and well done, promptly and nobly, it will make the heart of every hon est man and boy in North Carolina throb higher with pride In our wo men, and resolve to be worthy of them. No act of generosity or tenderness by woman for man ever went unap preciated or unrewarded, and what ever exalts and refines and adorns man, must also inevitably secure her culture. Neither is it a work only for ourselves, but is to be a permanent benefit to our posterity in many wavs and for generations to come. Nor do we urge it as a good investment. Is it not an offering prompted by gratitude, and peculiarly graceful and beautiful to those who were so lately in arms, and counted not their lives dear in defence of their country ? The women of the South owe much to the men of the South, and no wo men have ever been able to boast of truer or more gallaut defenders than the women of North Carolina. They repair annually in crowds to lay fresh wreaths on the graves where their young heroes sleep. Will they not consider this work, also, a pious duty, and make this offering to the youth who remain, and who are now at great disadvantage, to repair the loss and waste of war and endeavor to place the State abreast with the cul ture of the age? We believe that they will. Communications may be addressed to Mrs. C. P. Spencer, Chapel Hill, N. C, agent for the Executive Com mittee, who will cheerfully co operate with the ladies in any way they may suggest. X. The Evil Fkctiis of Wkak Diges tion. There is no patholog'cal fact more clearly ascertained than that the most for midable phases of nervous disease are di rectly traceable to i a perfect digestion. Insomnia, with its train of direful conse quenoes, proceeds more frequently from weakness of the stomach than Irom any other cause. M re sedatives are powerless to ure nervousness, aDd soon cease to palliate its symptoms. The true way to s'rengihen the nervous system is to in vigorate the digestive a id asHimilatlve or gans, upon wboe unobstructed action its equilibrium l absolutely dependent. Ihe dally use of Hntdetter's Stomach Hitlers will do more to b-aeeand sootne cut weak ened and irritated nerves, and induce sond, refreshing sleep nature's graud catnollcou than all the so called nervines to be found in the pharmsco? u a or out of it.
