Do not Le in too great haste to put tender plants in the opon ground. Plant dahlia roots and gladiolus bulbs. The hyacinths and tulips will now be the chief attraction. Tender bedding plants should be placed in frames where they can be covered by sashes on cool nights until after the middle of the mouth. Violets that have bloomed during the winter should now be divided and planted in a nioi-t spot to make growth lor next winter. Treat double daises in the same manner. Chrysanthemums for blooming in pots in autumn should Ive started from cuttings the tirst of the mouth. Astu seed sown now and grown through the summer in pots make beautiful objects lor autumn decoration. The tops of the fall-blooming yellow amaryllis Sternborgiaj will now be ripe and the bulbs may Ive lifted, divided and replanted. Put stout stakes to dahlias as soon as planted. To wards the last of the month the roses legin to bloom. Look around to see desirable sorts which you may not have. Transplant ever greens of all sorts. Transplant the annuals grown from seed sown in February and March to their places 111 t he open ground. Keep the lawn constantly mown and the g-ass edges neat.

If the docks are infested with the regular chicken louse eery bud should be annointed under the wings, and l m mediately o i-r the veil t with lard and sulphur mixed to the consistency of oint ment. This is best done at night for various reasons. The louse that is tound on the heads of chicks as soon as they are dry in the nest, is claimed by some to be the gape louse: but if the heads ot the chicks are rubbed on top with the lard and sulphur, as soon as t hey are removed with the hen trom the nest, and the hen annointed as mentioned above, the broods will thrive.

There is a natural public curiosi ty m respect to the mode of making up the Mllectoral College and the basis of apportionment of delega tions in the National nominating conventions. The Fllectoral College consists- ot 101 members, one vote being allot ted to each Congressional district and two votes additional tot each State, corresponding with the number of Senators. The National Convention is coin posed of two representatives for each Congressional district, two for each Senatorial ofliee and two tor each Territory and the Ibstriit ot Columbia.

Mr. Taylor describes the home of the Confederate leader as i t vjiical old time plantation man sion, one story in height, with spacious halls and an imposing por iioo. The house lies in view of the Ciiil:'. ainl is surrounded by a thick g; ove ot' orange and magnolia trees. Mr. Ta lorsas that he was received cordially by Mr. Davis, and, after thi-y had been talking a lew ino ine:.:s. Mis. Davis and her daugh ;ei. a handsome young lady, ap pealed in the room, accompanied by a young Chicago lawyer. Mr. Davis insisted that he should re main in the house over night. Dining the evening the conversa tion turned upon the war. and Mr. Davis talked freely upon all sub jects that were brought up. "What is the Southern estimate of the 1'cdeial Generals!" inquired Mr. Taylor. I cannot give you the Southern estimate," Mr. Davis replied. 'T can give you my own estimate." What do you think of Grant?" wns asked. Grant." he said, "was largely a cieat ure ot circumstances. 1 re member that the first time I met Grant was when he was stationed on the Pacific Coast as a Lieuten ant. 1 was then Secretary of War. He was charged with drunkenness and neglect of duty. I gave him his choice between standing trial and resigning. He resigned. I knew that he would. Gen. Grant was a great military commander. He was very tenacious, lie fought a battle as a matter of business. Men were mere cogs in the wheel. All the men anil means he wanted were placed at his command, and he had every advantage, lie would have been discharged from the Airnyofthe Potomac if it had not been that too many changes had already taken dace in the army." -What is your estimate of Gen. Sherman was asked. "Sherman." Mr. Davis said, "was looked upon in the South as Alaric w as by tin-Komans. He was their scourge of God.' He was cruel, yet he was a great strategist." "Vis," interrupted Miss Davis, "he was an inhuman monster. What he did not use he destroyed." Sherman hesitated," Mr. Davis continued, "for a long time between joining the Confederate army and the kiiiiiii army. We were uncer tain w hich he would do. He finally joined the Pnion army, thinking. I suppose, that more could be gained b it." My idea," remarked Mr. Davis, :- that Meade was the most skilful (lei. end in t he Federal army. Gen. Lei once said to me that he could understand the movements of all t he Generals in the F'ederal army e.i-ierthan those of Gen. Meade. Th above Meade never allowed l.::n :o display his full power.

The Fx po-ition to be opened at Now Or leans on thefiistof next December, .viiich was originally designed to c kebrate the centennial of the litst exportation of cotton from Aniel ica. now promises to become .; more extensive exhibition of the iinliistiial nsouiccs and products ol the world than any that has hitherto been held in this country. New Orleans gives expression to the desire ot tlie South to be aligned with more progrossi ve communities by making generous provision for the occasion. It was intended to group all ol the machinery, miscellaneous and collective exhibits in one grand building, and with this view the main building was planned to cover t h i 1 ty-t hree acres of ground. It affords l.ikio.doo square feet of space, or l.g'Pj,(ioo net exhibiting space, being larger than the Crystal Palace building, and greater in. size than the main building and the; Machinery Hall combined of Phila delphia in lSTi). Seven months belore the opening it is found that the buildings are, inadequate, and arrangements arel being made lor another building, almost as largo as the main .true-' tine. All of the Southern States have applied for space to represent their natural resources, except Kentucky, and ;i bill is ponding before the Legislature of that State for that purpose. Twenty northern and western States and Territories have notified, the management to reserve space, ' and others are making arrange ments to be represented. I'ourteen foreign governments hive signified their intention to take part in the display, and a large amount of space has been applied for by foreign firms and individuals. The applications from manufac turers and exhibitors in the I'nited State - now call for more space than was occupied by such exhibits at Philadelphia. .Expositions are also to be held at London, Philadelphia. Louisville. Cincinnati. Chicago. St. Louis and Denver city, ail closing befoie the New Orleans Imposition opens, so that their choicest ex hibits may be transferred theie. In addition, demands for space will be made by foreign nations, persons and firms who have delayed appli cations until the importance of the Exposition was demonstrated. The display ot' minerals from Mexico. Central America, and fiom the western States and Teiritoiies will be large. A live stock department will alli'id opportunity, for the South and her Spanish-speaking neighbors to display t heir choicest breeds of animals. In the horticultural department a iiheial and comprehensive premium list has been adopted, embracing specimens, of ti uits and plants from all parts ot the w orld. Over ,'l'0.(oo in premiums, besides gold, silver and bronze medals, are oflered. The President of the Mississippi Valley Horticultural Society is male chief of the department. One si'.pei intendeiif is appointed from Missouri, one from Indiana, several -.pec:al commissioners from the c ist, and a foreign commissioner of na: ioiiai reputation from Georgia.

'' ; ( (,,mtij. yirtli '(irnliuii: At ihe el se of .another year of '.he uhli s.-le, 1, Is of Cinven county it be comes my (bitj- as a matter of public inforinutinn. to submit my ollieial st.Oe rmnt of tic edueatioicil work ib.ne ilui inf; tlie lust term. Since the liret Monday of lust AukiK I have exaniineil into tlie iniabfieations and renewed tlie certificates of s i teacliers. iio wliite ami "d colore I. ' if those. -11 obtained the first Kraile. L'."i tlie second, and la t ho third. We have op rateil (luring tlie year lb' schools, ey while and eli colored. Nutwitlistanil ing tlie last Legislature made no finan cial provision for the visitation of the schools, and s"rmeii to intend specially to disable and prohibit the superintend ent from performing this most import ant part of Ids work. I liave felt il my duty personally to visit and inspect every school district in the county. I am gratified to be able to say t bat ou 1 progress has been steadily forward and improved. Tlie standard of scholarship and character among our teaelinrs is constantly improving. The people of the country districts are everywhere b.-iiie; aroused on the subject of educa tion. I have delivered public addresses wherever I could get an audience. .Study, diligence, painstaking appli cation are everywhere the watchwords of teachers and children. We have had no division or strife among ; our school officials, but the greatest concord and harmony from first to last. Although we have had only about S'-S.OOO ' to distribute among 02 schools, we have continued the most of them for a term of three months, and many of them for four. Nearly every school district. 1 through the admirable wisdom and energy of our school committees, is now fitted out with new and excellent school houses, which are the property of the county. I desire especially to call jour attention to the well-conducted graded schools of this city. I do not consider them perfect by any means, but we in tend that they shall approach perfection before we are through with them. The white school under Professor Thomas, and the colored under Mr. Savage, have each ab ut "iUO scholars, the principals and teachers are competent and faithful, good work is constantly being done, and success is the only condition sought or acknowledged in either. By the be ginning of another school year, the white graded school expects to be lodged in a magnificent new building. And if the Blair school bill shall have passed through tlie House of Represen tatives, we expect in the (iood l'luii denee of Cod to see the daw n of a brighter day for the school interests of North ( 'arolina. Ycrv respectfully yours. John S. Lo.Mi. Supt. Public Instruction. Letter from (ieorgia. Wapi.ev. (.. Jlay 7. Is4. Ml'.. Epitok: Thinking that you would like to hear a little trom (ieorgii by on" of your old North Carolinians. I will endeavor to give you a few fai ls concerning farming. Raw milling, etc. The f armers, when breaking up land, use a plow something similar to our ."". only that the point and all is casted in one whole piece. After breaking up the hinds thiy run oif their rows from lit to s? feet apart, when the corn is up a little they use a little thing to side it about 3j inches wide, like we used to use for opening the row forcotton seed when sown with hand. All their plows are in the same shape, only larger. Corn now is from If to -J0 inches tall. Upon an average thev make about twehe bushels per acre. It is worth 'JO cent cash, si .25 on time, per bushel. Farm ci's s.iy that they make a pl'-nty every other j ear and next year fad. This i. .1 year of plenty, as they failed last year. Don't make any rice. Cotton is planted in our old style. An average crop 1-two-thirds bale per acre. fer tilizer is used extensively. Kainit is but very little known of here, and marl, tie ie i none at all. Saw mills are tiii -k.tr lhan churches an 1 h )ol bouses .-di put together. Turpen tine, stills are ab mt the same. Th. re i but very little whi-ki'3' sold bi le, only about one half of the counties are al lowed to sell 11. though there is 11 great deal of it dr. 01k everywhere, it 1 01 b red from Charlotte. N.

" There is one null .lain ab u t two miles from Macon that is KM) miles long. I noticed a small stream of water a few in rnmgs a-o that was running very -mil ali i'.it o'clock, and that t'e I l.as-id it again and it was dry. I a.-ked about it and was tol I that a great many .! liieni done the same way. dry up about 1 o'clock in lie eve and commence ruioiiiig again 111 the night. N' -Kb. Jones County Hems.
