Since the President's private secretary has been pros trated by bilious fever some of the former's friends have urged him to be more careful and not overwork himself.

' The Massachusetts J'loufhmun sav s: There are few if any fertilizers in the market that possess so many desirable qualities as good wood ashes; being rich in potash, and having ;i fair proportion of phos phoric acid they supply two i in -portant materials that are deficient! in most soils. Put there are other' important elements that are not only beneficial, but important lor plant growth. Wood ashes contain large ijuaii titics of lime; not ston,- lime, but lime that is finer and mine soluble, it having once been in a condition to enter plants, it again readily conies into a condition to be taken ; up by growing plants, much more1 so than the common stone lime. Ashes contain two other important elements, namely: Magnesia and silica; these are both necessary lor plant growth, am!, like the lime, they are in right condition to be readily taken up by the growing plants. In fact, wood ashes being the mineral elements for the growth of other vegetation, ami that, too.; in the best possible condition, be came having once been taken up by growing vegetation, they have been divided into small particles and made soluble in water, and tlny readily return to the same con dition again. Thi . is an important fact that is generally overlooked. . "A lt-rtilizt-r might be well sup plied with important elements of plant loud. et be in such condition as to be ol no possible Use to the growing plant for several years after it is applied. "Wood ashes is goml for almost any crop the tanner wishes to grow on his lann. While the benefit the first u-.ir may not In- as much as from other fertilizers, the second, and for four or five following years the benefit on manv soils is great." ! il uc.it i mi al ( limiiri's. Kaeine Pot tage, in Wisconsin, has introduced a feature in its curricu lum oi studies that is worthy of imitation in all our leading colleges and academies. Professors are ein ploed to lecture upon topics ot immediate interest, such as contem porary history, recent discoveries in science, new inventions, and the progi ess of the arts. In the older colleges excessive attention has been given to iinciciit history and the stud)- of dead languages. A highly educated graduate ol Ox ford or llai vard might really know little oi nothing of the wonderful modern wni hi in which he lived, yet our era is iac most gloi ions in the annals ot the race.

The climate of Mexico is tropical and its soil rich in flowers, tiees and shrubs, as is that of Asia; and it is no wonder thai its natives learned long ago how to take pleas ure in its natural beauties. Pe mains of gaideiis which must have been laid out long before Mexico Was lonijileled by the Spaiiiuids, still exist there, showing that ihe 1 1 a 1 1 t -1 v ; 1 1 . - a i i races which dwell in t he smit hei n part of our cuitinent knew the art of dccniating nafiue. A id convening their w ilds into de Pghtful resorts. The first lloating garden consist ed of masses of e.ii t h w hich became loosened from the main hind, and were held together b the roots w hich lay imbedded in them. Then the Aztecs, seeing that it was pos sible to have floating gardens, made rafts ot iceds and rushes, closely fastened together, and upon these a deep layer of iicheuitli was put. Thus moving islands were formed, sometimes several hundred feet long anil three or four feet deep, anil launched out upon the water. It was upon these lloat ing islands that the Aztecs grew the fruit, dowers and vegetables which they sold in the, markets of the towns along the shores. They would push their gardens right up to the bor ders of the town, and so lloat from one town to another. These strange gardens had their origin in the ne cessities of the people of ;i certain locality, who, being shut in by their enemies, were forced to resort to some means to avoid famine. Find ing themselves tin the borders of a lake, they set to woik to make boating islands, and on these they planted corn and other vegetables. They then, by means of long poles, moved the iloating gardens Irom oue shore to another, and thus sup plied the hungry people. In this way the .Mexicans were saved from con piest; and so successful was the plan of making the lloatiag gardens that they became common, and in stead of being used solely to raise food, they were planted with trees, and with llowers of the most brilli ant colors and delicious perfume. These Iloating islands may still be seen in parts of Mexico. Pres cott, the historian, speaks of them as "moving like some enchanted isle over the water." Many of the peasants, living in humble huts of brick or reeds, along the shores of Lake Tezcuco, have these islands as their only farms, whereon they raise and sell the vegetables grown in Mexico, which need but lit t le cult i vat ion and care l'p to within a hundred ears beau tiful lloat ing gardens were still to be seen on this and other .Mexican lakes. Sometimes quaint little edi fices peeped from among their lux uriant shrubs and llower-beds; sometimes the pretty paths were overhung with rich clusters of trop ical fruits. Such were the gardens of the wealthy nobles of that time, who took holiday trips on their doating gai dens, and might move smoothly over the waters, the ver dant raff propelled by servants with long, slender poles; and thus travel, reposins amid flower-beds and under deep and luxuriant shadows. There is a large Mexican city, surrounded by a lake, the streets of w hich aie a seiies of canals, as aie those of Veil ice. I list cad of tli i ing carts and carriages to and tio. the deople reach the houses by water. Here the Iloating gardens might once have been seen, moving to and fro, beaiing their still growing burden of fruit, coin and llowers-: and it was upon these gaideiis that the young nobles used to call for their lady lo es, and instead of a ill ive into the c iiinti y. give them ;i ride on the lake, amid the bowers and (oblige of their iomance convey ances. The scene, on a soft, moon lit night, as these gardens passed here and there, among the high reeds and lushes, or glided across the open, .sji.ii klmg w aters, must have been a t-iy p:c: ui esipie one. i.ioiii n school iiiii'our.

Ilftit Far.Iierr,. Liaas Fi iiitv. Lr..oii: Co.. May 1st, ISs.-,. ) Kiaroi; Jiui:nai.: My attention has I een called to an editorial correspond t nue of the Aslieville Citizen, dated Ualeigli. Feb. Till, iss.ti. and reproduced in the columns of the Alcssemjvr by re MUest! on the loth of March last, in which the writer must have been labor ing under an acute attack of dyspepsia and rrii over quantity of bile in his (stom ach, or under the painful hallucination that he was created especially by (Jod to criticise all men'a features, acts, thoughts, motives, etc. Had the turgid, dyspeptic, cross grained editor conlined his remarks to the just and meritorious compliment paid to sixty-live of our best and most trustworthy citizens and neighbors (who are the equal of any in the fctite), all would have been well and (01 would have joined in tendering their heartfelt thanks for bis meritorious compliment. But unfortunately he failed to sleep well the night before on the bile accu mulated upon his stomach, his viala of wrath were filled to overflowing, his brain became frenzied, and hate, vitu peration and malignancy loomed up in such huge proportions that he found himself in a dilemma where he must either unload or burst, and of the two he chose the former and heaped all on the heads of five as good and respectable citizens as Idenoir can boast of. But I hear him! In speaking of these good and worthy citizens he speaks of them j as "painfully ludicrous five gaunt or shock-headed fossils, features pinched and cramped as if never relaxed by a' generous emotion, brows heavy and dull as if never enlightened by a ray of in telligence lantern-jawed, hook-nosed specimens of prehistoric ideas," etc. Great God! was there ever such inso j lence. or viler slander ever fell from ' the lips of man. or dripped from the pen ! of a God -forsaken editor. But sir, if i this poisonous shaft which he has hurled ! with so much malignity at the heads of these five honest and respectable citi zens misses its aim and slays him in its rebound, then it will be his funeral and not theirs. ! Had this virulent editor in his zeal to heap odium and contumeliousness upon I the heads of these five ""shock-headed, fossil'1 farmers of our county, remem ' bered the old maxim of "the pot should not call the kettle black. " and viewed himself in a mirror after penning his scurrilous article, no one is so insane as to believe for one moment it would ever have found its way in print. It would also have taught him the important les- ! son that the beauty of his own features are by no means calculated to break the , heart Of any fair maiden. In the exu . berance of the fertility of his frenzied ! mind and the painful hallucination of ! his imagination, he is pleased to stigma tize those hvegaunt and shock-headed fossils" with being upon a level with the animals of the brute creation, in the vain hope of repleting his already ex hausted purse. Now, sir, if we accept I the theory of Darw in as being correct I (which I do not), that the human family ' are all animals, then the conclusion is i irresistible that this frenzied editor is ' nothing more nor less than a cross and the offspring of the so-called "William" 1 goat and the porcupine, with the char . acteristics of both firmly embedded in j his nature, which is plainly and dis I tinctly visible to the Oalance of the ani- mal kingdom. In another point of view the produc tion of this article was exceedingly un ' fortunate, when it will be remembered that the much vexed question of "Stock Law" had agitated the minds of our people for two years, during which time much bad feeling had been engendered: and when all parties had been sum moned to appear before a committee of the House of Representatives, and the House had decided adversely to the re peal of the law. although feeling they had not received justice at the handsof the House of Representatives, being deeply mortilied -at the defeat of the bill, but seeing the hopelessness of any further effort, the friends of repeal made up their minds at once, as good citizens, to abide by the decision of the House and to return home and do all iu their power to restore peace and har mony among their neighbors. But this was not to be done. Before some of them reached home this scurrilous arti cle appeared in the Citizen, which only added fuel to the flames, and we are all left now- to reap the fruits of tho whirl wind thus produced. Hence I say the article was unfortunate in more respects than one. It is no purpose of mine to now reopen this much vexed question of stock law. but in justice to those wleo advocated its repeal I desire to state that it never once entered their minds that the question would be decided by the number going to Raleigh or by-spread-eagle oratory there to be dis played. ' Had they thought so the num ber that would have attended with their fine oratory favoring the repeal of the law- would have shocked the tender sen sibilities of the frenzied editor of the Asheville Cttr. u. tiij i. ( ". Fij i- 'TT. North Carolina Teachers' Assembly. The Chautauqua" held at Waynfs viile last summer was the first educa tional gathering of the kind ever set n in the South. Since that time many of our sister States have organized similar meetings, hut North I'jf.Jnui teachers wear the laurels as leadias i f this great educational movement. Kvery county superintei dent in the State who desires to advance the educa tional interests of his countv ought, by all means, to attend the Assembly, as new- and practical ideas will be there developed an 1 discussed which will be of very great interest and importance to them in their work.

The St. Peters burg correspondent of the Daily Acici says: "I am informed on good author ity of another engagement on the Afghan frontier. Of 1,700 Russians who engaged the Afghans nearly all were killed. " News of another battle (though it is yet unconfirmed) has been received. The Times says that the rumor is proba- bly the first oozing out of news which : has been officially suppressed. At present only the Independence Jlelge and : Daily News have received reports of the i battle. It is presumed that a body of ! Russians followed a body of retreating I Afghans while scouting in the country. I for the purpose of collecting informa ' tion, and perhaps pushed on to Chame Nebeade, thus coming into contact - with the Afghan troops on the direct I route to Herat: or a similar movement I may have been made from Zulrikaror i Akrolial. At present there is nothing to show w here the conflict occurred. ' London, April 28. A declaration of j 1 war is not expected to follow directly I upon the rupture of diplomatic rela I tiocs. Baron de Slael and Sir Edward I Thornton would be recalled and Russia I would then probably order Gen. Kom arofT to advance on Herat, England I meanwhile occupying Quetta and Can- dahar. The fact that a Russian trans I port which passed through the Suez canal and then was ordered back, is I still waiting at the entrance of the Suez j canal, causes some anxiety. St. Petersburu, April 29. The Novoe 1 Vremya, acting it is believed under im I perial inspiration, has attracted atten tion by publishing an article with a startling head-line: "On the Eve of j i War." This article says: "Russia, in the event of war, will settle matters 1 with England in India and not in Af-1 ghanistan alone. "' , j A dispatch from St. Petersburg, dated yesterday, states that it is believed then1 that the full text of the British proposal I I concerning the suggested mixed tri-1 bunal to examine into and report upon 1 ' the discrepancies between the reports i I of Gen. KomaroiT and Sir Peter Lunm , den concerning the battle of Penjdeh did not reach ftt. Petersburg until y es- i I terday and that therefore no Russian , replay had been yet sent to London. j Bombay, India. April 29. A special ' 'dispatch from Tirpul dated April 16 says that the Russians occupy Als Tepe, I and are actively at work making a military road from Penjdeh to Herat. I Berlin, April 59. -The .Vnmmi ! Xeitnuij says that Germany remains neutral in the present crisis in , the relations of England and Russia. adding that no rcipi.si : has been received for meditation The (itiinait Zeitnmj alsodeniestli.it 1 the Czar wrote the Emperor of Gorman v that the chances for peace had dinnn-1 ished. , Rome, April 29. The lHvelto states 1 that it is direct'y aware of the correct-1 ! ness of the statement published in New ! York that Italy delicately hinted that she objected to the nomination of Mr. 1 Keiley as Minister to Italy, resulting in an immediate change of views at Wash ington. 'JEN ERA 1. NEWS Stai NT.j.x.
