EAULY ruifni PoTATOsa. The earlr Goodrich potato ha for some year or two created quite a sensation among farmers for its early maturation ; but a new variety, called the " Early Rose," has stepped in to throw it in the shade. This early rose matures from ten days to two weeks earlier than the Good rich. A committee of farmers . inves tigated the potato crop of the early rose variety of Mr. John O. Thompson, Staten Island, this eaason, and made a favorable report. The yield was one bushel for every twenty-six hills, or 558 6-13 bushels per acre. Some of the potatoes weighed three to three and a half pounds each. The report says : 44 Mr. Thompson purchased one peck of these potatoes last spring, from which he cut 920 sets. They were planted in rows three feet apart and out hundred and eight feet long, the hills being six teen inches from eaeh other. Four quarts of ashes were applied to each row three times during the season. This was the only kind of compost or manure furnished them. A mess of the potatoes was cooked for tho com mittee, and all the members were de lighted with their mealy and nutritious character." The original seed was accidentally discovered in Eutland county, Vt, in 11861; a seeding attracted tho farmers attention, and he cultivated it carefully, making such experiments with several crops has satisfied him of its superiority. He ultimately made it so famous that a gentleman in Utica, N. Y., gave him 910,000 fer 120 bushels. We tell the tale as we find it in the Now York Commercial. Trora tho Daily Journal Feb., 18S8. THE FLOWERS GRAPE. Wujteville, N. C, Jan. 30, 1868. Messrs. Editors : I drop you an item of history in connection with tho Blowers Grape. This grape which is now so anxiously sought after and ex tensively cultivated lor wineumking is a native of Robeson county, North C, and was discovered prior to 1816, by William Flowers (lenoxen as pipen Billy) in Flowers' Swamp, from whence it derives its name. In 1816 Mr. Giles Williams, who is now living, visited the parent vine, for the purpose of ob taining cuttings or plants. Tho vine then had the appearance of being teu or twelve years old. Tho precise spot where this famous grapo was first dis covered is sixteen miles South of Lum berton, N. C. From this ono parent vine many thousands of plants have been carried to all parts of the country, North and South, and the Flowers Grape has been competing with stand ard grapes of the old countries. Many thousands of plants and cuttings of this grape are now shipped by Express and on the railroad every Winter, by the citizens of Columbus county, N, C, where this grape is now more exten sively grown than in any other part of tho United States. Among the many excellencies which this grapo has to commend it to wine makers, besides making tho best wine in the world, is the time of ripening and the fact that the entire crop ripens at one time, and never fall from the vines until destroyed by frost -thev mupt have been frozen before thoy fall. Very light frosts do not causo them to falL This grape ripening in Septem ber, and first changes slowly from its green state to a dark red or brown col or, and continues a gradual change until fully ripe. When tho last of this reddish color disappears around tho stem, the grape being coal black, which is proof of its being quite ripe. Tho stem itself is one marked peculiarity, which distinguishes this from any oth er CTape ; as the stem enters the grape it branches into three prongs, like a tripod, which reaches near the center of the fruit, and never give way or pull out till the grape is fully ripe. Wine-makers who engage in the busi ness extensively will find this their best grape, and while they use the Scupper nong and other varieties, and have to employ force to pick and work them, when these are finished up they find the Flowers' all hanging on the vines waiting, after all other varieties have been gathered and worked, so that the hands may not be idle, but can just be changed over to the Flow ers vineyard, when the best wiue will be made last. Very rerpectfully, T. S. Memory. P. 8. This grape was first brought to Columbus county and cultivated by a man named Babson, hence it is some trmccallsd the Babson Qrape. , To Cub a Cold. The following pisfrom Hall's Journal of Health : i iWTie moment a mau is satisfied that ho has taken cold, let him do three things : First, eat nothing ; second, go to bed, cover up, in a warm iuum, third, drink as much cold water sb he can., peas bo wants, or as much herb tea' as he can, and in three cases out of four he will be well in thirty-six hours. To neglect a cold for forty-eight hours after the cough commences is to place himself beyond cure, until the cough Has run its course of about a fortnight. Warmth and abstinence are safe, cer tain cures, when applied early. Warmth keeps the pores of the skin open and relieves it of the surplus which op pressed it, while abstinence cuts off the supply or material ior pmegm, wiiltJi mlttld otherwise, be coughed up Titn viULarHEs. Pro fessor Agassi said some interesting things concerning his pet glacial theo ry at tho Amherst agricultural mock ing last week. He declared that all tho materials on which agricultural processes depend are decomposed rocks, not so much rocks that underbo the soil, but those on the surface and brought from considerable distances and ground to powder by the rasp of tho glacier. Ice all over the continent, is the agent that has ground out more soil than all other agencies together ' The penetration of water into rocks, frost, running water, and baking suns, have done something, but tho glacier more. In a former age tho whole United States was covered with ice several thousand feet thick, and this ice, moving from north to south by the attraction of tropical warmth or press ing weight of ice and snow behind, ground tho rocks over which it passed into tho paste we call the soil. These masses of ice can be tracked as surely as game is tracked by tho hunter. He had made a study of them in this country as far south as Alabama, but had observed tho same phenomenon particularly in Italy, where, among tho Alps, glaciers are now in progress. The stones and rocks ground and pol ished by the glaciers are now in pro gress. Tho stones and rocks ground and polished by tho glaciers can easily bo distinguished from those scratched by running water. The angular boul ders found iu meadows, and tho ter races on our rivers not now reached by wator, can be accounted for only in this way. Ho urged a new survey of the surface geology of tho Stato as a help to understanding its constituent elements, and paid a high tributo to the memory of tho late President Hitchcock. Sowing Blue Grass. A writer in tho Prairie Farmer, who has paid aU tentiou to the habits and character of blue grasp, says it should be sown in February or March, after a light fall of snow if practicable, as this serves as a guido in tho distribution of the seed. A bushel of tho seed in the chaff, or even loss, will do if other seed is mixed with it. Bluo grass appears delicate at first, but acquires spread and vigor from being pastured. It Uoos not do well as meadow, as the strongor grasses smother and'kill it out. This grass is a great treat to neat stock excellent for dairy and beef purposes. Surface Manuring. I am not surprised at your correspondent Buck eye being opposed to surface manur ing. I should have been so myself had not experience taught mh bettor. I have used manure only as a top-dressing for tho last t wen tj'-six years, and I do think one load used in that way is worth far more than two plowed under on our stiff land. I learned by ex perience never to dispute any practice in farming until I had tried it. It was an aoio writer on pireon weu, more than thirty-fivo years ago, that cured mo of self-confidence. John Johmon in the Genesee Farmer. Work And Wait There are two things that always pay, even in this not over remunerative existence. They arc working and waiting. Either is useless without tho other. Both united are invincible, and inevitably triumph ant. . He who waits without working is simply a man yielding to sloth and despair. Ho who works without waiting, is fitful in his strivings, and misses re sults by impatience. Ho who works steadily, and waits patiently, may have a long journey be fore him but at its close ho will find its reward. Yeast. From a lady of Norfolk Boil 1 quart buttermilk ; jwhen cool, stir in 1 quart of meal; put in gill of yeast to make it rise, set aside until next morning, then stir in m nuch meal as will make it dry or like meal again; spread on dishes to dry in the shade ; 1 tabloeipooiiiul to a quart of flour ; just before using, put the yeast powder in a cup with water, aay three tablespoonfuls of water. We have tried it and found it exoeJleiit. Dag Book. The French have discovered that the white of an egg given in sweetened wa ter is a sure cure for the croup. The remedy is to be repeated till a euro is effected. mm NO. 49. A Hitch or Two. A Washington correspondent reports that it ia not likely that the tenure-of-office act will be repealed this session. No reason assigned, and we are left to inference. Contemporaneously, Mr. Edmunds, of Vermont. infrM IIOAO n Kill i iL. j vj tm Ulll m fcutj Senate to prohibit any officer of the army or navy from holding anv civil office. The reason of this is not given. wnotner the politicians think there are not more than enough offices for themselves, or that they are more competent for such duties than naval or military men ; or whether it implies jealousy and distrust of Gen. Grant and military rule wo are left to con jecture. If the first suggestion bo the true one, and civilians wish to absorb civil offices themselves, that would be in keeping with tho disinterested pat riotism of tho age ! If the latter a dread of military ascendancy be the true motive, tho Hon. politicians are rather too late. The rule passed from their hands when, in 67, after they were.beaten at the polls, they fell back, against their wishes, on tho General of the Armies, and appealed to him to save them from Andy I. Since then they havo been mere appendages, toler rated and permitted to go through cer tain forms ; but as to all real power, as cicadas Julius Caesar. If Gen. Grant chooses to appoint Gen Schofield Sec retary of War, or Admiral Farragut Secretary of the Navy, or oven to fill every poat in the Government with Qenerals, he will do it-and ask no boot of Mr. Edmunds, or Mr. anybody else. Havu't the Conscript Fathers heard of of tho Army Reunion at Chicago, and that at the next Reunion all are to ap pear in full uniform? Lot as have peace. Hiehnwnd Whig. INDICTMENTS FOR TREASON.

From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraphy of Tuesday last, wo take the following : A few days ago," says tho editor of that pa per, " wo met Col. A. S. Buford, Pres ident of the Georgia Air-Line Railway Company. Colonel Buford has secur ed from Virginia (his business head quarters being in Richmond) $100,000 of subscription to the stock, and hopes before long tho amount of $100,000 more will be secured, and with this amount he will commence tho work and finish and equip twenty miles from Atlanta ; and then tho road secures the benefit of tho aid granted by the State government. Ho is confident that about ninety miles from Atlanta to Anderson, in South Carolina, will then bo rapidly finished, and there will be no difficulty in securing capital North and East to finish tho balance of the road from Anderson to Charlotte, N. C. Lace Cotton. A variety of cotton, says a southern journal, called mce cotton, is being introduced iu some part of Texas, and is likely to be ex tensively raised. It is to be superior to any other variety for poor soil or uplands, having a strong, healthy growth, aad yielding heavily. Its strength is equal to a strain of seven and a half pounds to each thread, while a similar thread of the best American cotton will lift only five five pounds. Those who have exam ined it say that it resembles Egyptian cotton, which is worth in England a quarter more than American. Good results are anticipated from a cultiva tion of this variety of cotton. If it is successful, it may quite generally su persede the poorer quaUties and largely increase the income of the southern planter. a eseessieBSaBBBMS3BSBHSllll ffottihe Made Mis Money.

Charlotte lmoaat. " Settle down,'' may be good advice to some, but settle up is much better to some others. Advice, however, good in itself, is often useless when not adopted to the circumstances of the individual. As for instance. Ad vising people to subdue their appetite when they have not tasted food for hours; coolness to people jn fevers; wakefulness to a person who has not slept for a couple of days : to purchase the best when you have means only for the most ordinary ; loving your neighbor as yourself when he's black and you are (supposed to be) white. Scientific men by a blundering ex periment with coal tar and fragments of slate, which for a long time were both a nuisance, have discovered; that when the Vermont sheet slate is ground to a fine, powder and mingled with coal tar, in definite proportions, tho plastic material will re construct iu a short period of time and form slate which is susceptible of as fine a polish as a schoolboy's slate. Strange as it may appear, after the coal tar, wliieh is highly inflammable, has united with tho slate Hour a fire may be kindled directly on the roof of a building, ami the roofing will not burn any suoner than the Vermont slate.
