For five years or more I have not tailed to carefully note every important transaction in connection with the preparation of my lands planting the crops t heir cul t i vat ion -growt h and production with an itemized account of expenses kept against each separate crop, which deducted at the close of the year from the value of the crops, enables me to see what my time and investments have paid.

Soon after the last election demonstrated that the Senate was Republican, his tall, angular tigure was seen here as Mahone's oandidate for Serjeant-at-Arms. Of course. C'anaday had to deny all Sherman proclivities when he made his trade with Mahone, who in this transaction represented himself anl the Administration in part. The bargain was that Canaday should be elected, and in return secure a delegation from his State that would co-operate with the Mahone delegation from Virginia. With one of Arthur's Cabinet who contributed most to ( 'anaday's elec tion the bargain was an Arthur 'delegation. What their trade was with Logan I do not know, but I do know that some of the Union sol diers are kicking like Government mules because Logan voted for an ex-Confederate in preference to a Union soldier like Hooker. The capture of this delegation was to be only the first oft 'anaday's achievements, lie has also agreed to deliver the electoral vote of North Carolina to the Republican candidate for President, to have himself elected Governor of the State and to come, back to the Sen ate, not as a servant of that body, bnt as a Republican member in the BOYS AND GIRLS IX CHINA MAIU'H. but do not give it to them before i roni roweii's Fiituber ramihiet tueyarefed.

In the first place the sons in variably inherit, the surname of the father, perpetuating the existence of his family, for one generation at least. Secondly, they assume the re sponsibilities of the father, includ ing his debts and State crimes; and Thirdly, whatever honors the son may achieve by reason of his ac quirements, or otherwise, are ac credited to his sire. For instance, if a son obtains promotion to State honors, a suita ble honor or State til 1 e is accord ingly conferred by the Emperor upon the father, as a reward for lii- labor in bringing his sou attainment of such a station ol honor and usefulness. Finally, under no consideration are sons permitted to seek their selves the recipients of the choice' i,ir,: i i i I uii-iiug iiccneu couin oe.siow. This part of the ceremony over, the three old ladies proceed to roll v excellent n their great silken sleeves pre- l)aj;tiury 10 giving rue iorcnnare youngster his first shave, which, by the way, is not performed with a razor upon the chin, but with a pair of shears upon the crown of the head! Wo use the word "shaving," but it would be nearer the correct woid if we should call it "shearing." The manner of performing this shearing, as well as the queer figure outlined upon baby' pate, is really comical. V hue the old ladies are busib engaged in their to them, very agreeable task, baby is protesting against the perpetration of this out rage upon his crown with all the strength of his little lungs, supple men ted by vigorous kicks of his sturdy little legs. and frantic clutchings of t lie chubby hands at KING'S EVIL Was the name formerly given to Scrofula because of a niperstitlon that tt could be cured by a king's touch.

You can imagine what an instructive lesson the above ex periment will be to me. At the close of each year, and before com mencing the next year's operations. I carefully read over my record of the past year with a view of repeat ing such methods as have succeeded and rejecting such as have failed." Ilowerton In this way I am able to reach facts that I could not positively obtain in any other way. and the satisfac tion which it affords me can be fully appreciated only by those who have adopted the plan. Experimenting may be a little dear, but '-it is the shortest way home," the only .vale and certain way of settling in the mind doubt ful methods of preparing our lands, planting and cultivating our crops and determining not the commer cial but the product ire uluc of ma nures, for as different soils require different treatment, no one can de termine in advance tin1 proiluctire ralue of any manure. For instance. I have run through the catalogue of commercial manures on my farm, and to-day if I was offered the rich est estimated commercial fertilizer on the market free, with the con dition that I must use it altogether and no other, I would decline the offer unhesitatingly, because ex perience has proven their worlh lessness in my soil. That they must be highly valuable on ol her classes of soils, I judge from the liberal application of nearly ? t.OOO.ooo of them to the soil of our State alone. Expel iineiit alone could have elicited and established these facts. Therefore every fanner ought to have him an experimental acre or two each year in order to settle some important question e"U uecfod with his vocation. Such a method universally adopted and tlie results carefully recorded and given to t he public, would go lnrl her towards enlightening and enthus ing the farming world than all the theoiies and agricultural addtv-M-s that have ever been delivcled.

The Nihilist.-, are reported to be hampered in their warfare against the liussian Government by the lack of money, and the numerous recent raids upon the cash boxes ol the mail coaches are ascribed to them.

Should a son allow such a j thing to occur, the public as well as1 the authorities would take cogniz ance of the matter at once, and there would be visited upon such an ungrateful son a punishment second only in severity to that of decapitation, as his just due for such gross ingratitude. The daughters are exempt from such punishment by reason of their being legally a member of an en-' tirely different family, both by' name and marriage. These are some of the reasons why daughters are not so much thought ot as sons: and why it is possible tt) have too many of the one. and not possible to have too many of the other. Fpoit the birth of a daughter a name is immediately conferred upon . her w ith but little if any feasting or other joyful demonstrations over , the event. Ouite differently is the bit tii of :i son received. In the latter instance t he liappy parents wait a whole month before bestowing a name upon the new. coiner, duiiiig which time great pi epai at ions ai e made in antieipa t;on of the joyful occasion.
