The rea sons are too plain to give their dis ciKsion time ami space, ns it would he an act of unwarrantable lolly to entrust a child with the application ol deadly jmhsoiis, and as nearly all the lighter part of the farm work is generally assigned to children, and in most cases the bug-killing would tf their lot. and hence its imprac ticability l'.ut I will come to the )x)int and try to give my exiKTienct and advice lor what it is worth, hoping that U may prove a benefit to some who, like myself, engage in the arduous vocation ol a farmer The remedy lie-sjwithiu the hands ol every farmer, if he will only go to work and apply it: As soon as your corn is gathered run a plow be tween the beds and lay the corn stalks, alter they are pulled up, into the furrows, ami apply one hundred lb. of groaud oyster-shell lime, to the acre, which can lo had at a very low piiee. Then take your plow, a wrought or 4." plow and led up on the stalks as high as you can make a list. Then let your land lie during the winter, and be thorough ly pulverized by the freezing weather. When spring comes, in stead of reversing the teds, mil your plow on top of the IrhI and re bed the land, and plant not Ions than one half bushel of seed corn to the acre, sowing it in hills from four to six inches apart, which will insure vou a full stand. Then ap- ply another one hundred pounds of the oyster-shell lime to the acre, as a top dressing, and you may rest as-, sured vour corn will bo all rieht. 1 have tried it. and found that it woiked splendidly, and! have not had to replant a single hill of forty acres ! have in corn and yet I have a full stand. I will give you my rea.ions for the above method: Corn is a snrface feeder, and being planted earlier than any other crop.it wants the warmest and mellowest soil to ger minate in. I'y reversing the plow ImkIs in the spring, you turn up the cold, acid and cloddv soil, which has been lying all winter in the bot tom of the bed, and is unlit to give T.Vl'lillT a tender plant an early anil vigor ous Start, therefore I advise not to re-1 verse the leds, the lime on the corn stalks disintegrates them, and makes them available plant food ( lor the coming year and is advan tageous in giving the soil a body. ' and enriching it . The top dressing applied in the spring keopa off all bugs and gives the yonng plant a stimulant which insures its vigorous growth from the start, and soon places it Ix-yond the reach of harm from insects. The double qnantity of seed applied gives a sufficient numlHT of plants to be sacrificed to the crows, bugs, bud worms, and ot her destructives. I would advise not to bar corn oft" tvfore you chop it out; bat keep it clean by siding, up early :th a cotton plow, and not to put it to a stand until it is i fn!!y eight inches high. I have made this year a tine crop of corn on land which has bven planted in rice lor live successive years, which shows that the idea that corn can not le raised after rice, is errone ous. So much for corn. Now in regard to rice: I will not be positive in re gud to :t as ,. ,-r tanner is well a are "I the fact, th rai -iing rice ubieot to is a vcrv uncertain thing. so many mil notices, t hat a rice crop cannot U- considered made until it is i rt nail v house d, threshed and vour pivket.

Though, :f y.m want to get a teed almost superior to fodder, plant you an acre of the so called .Japan pea; it is one of the most prolific p. as cultivated. 1 have ." acres m them, and they arc planted on the poorest land I have. 1 put a little l:me in the drill, and 1 think the yieid will be abundant. I put about an acre in tobacco this year, and lind that it can be raised lu re to perfection, but hav ing no experience in cutting it. 1 cannot say what its mercant lie value will be. Sly three boys are now in Nash county, on a visit to their relatives, and having h;ul the op portunity, have made themselves thoroughly acquainted with flue curing, which will enable us to go next year upon a larger plan. Ueaufort county offers a great many inducements, and what we want here are men to cultivate the soil. Wo have enough merchants and mechanics. We want more men to till mother earth. 1 have in my hand a letter which comes all the way liom riieodona, a city on the shores of the Ulack Sea. Tin writer, a Russian, inquires for land. ha.s 4,0M) to invest, and I shall give him every information, which can be of service to him and his countrymen, who should desire to east their lot among us. I find from the tone of this letter, that there is a growing feeling of confi dence in the inducements offered to the immigrant in this part of the world. It seems that the recent political change in the administra- 1 tion of the government has cor-, rected many falso notions and prejudices, and hasgiveu a decided ami beneficial impetus to the South. The gentleman writes: "1 think i that under President Cleveland the South will prosper and soon be ahead of the North." There never was an opinion more correct and a prediction surer to be fultilled. Now- Mr. Kditor, I have taxed your patience I am afraid with my verbose statements, but I hope you will pardon the intrusion, as my only motive is to benefit the land of my adoption. We will prosper, and we want others to come and share in our prosperity. I have been liv ing in North Carolina fifteen years, the State is my permanent home, and I hope that my ashes may rest in her soil. 1'Al I. I.IN' KK. THK DAUKEV A l.KSSON. Got. CurllD'H Kipfrlfncp wllti a I'ort Meaciicr at ttie Stale Oepartmcm. Washington, Oct. (. Gov. Cur tiu is the latest statesman who has had to administer a lesson to a Cabinet oflicer's messenger. The other day he called at the State Department accompanied by a del egation of Tennsylvaniaus. lie came up to Mr. Bayard's room and found a colored boy lolling in an easy chair outside the door. Mr. Curtin inquired ol" this messenger if Mr. Bayard was in and offered his card to be taken in. The mes senger replied, without turning around or rising from the chair : There is right smart of folks :n there now. Y u had better wait or come again tomorrow." Gov. fur tin at tin- trow !.,. i . :oient rage. He veiled at the bo;. :u a voice of thunder : "What do you mean lolling thete in youi chair when you are on duty and spoken to b a gent U m in t 11 you never have leained manners here I shall teach you mse!:." A' tins the Governor raised his cane. 'Stand up this moment and assume a proper attitude. Now take these cards to the Secretary immediately, and if upon ano'her occasion I si e siicii deportment 1 shall cither break this cane overyoui shoulders or report you to your master." For the next live minutes there never wjls such a polite negro on duty in Washington. Mr. uiiin and his delegat ion wen- shown in.

Not :r uvom'.s the self taking of inar; silioi a da human bfe; while not u n tieijueut ly the suicide slays wife, child, or one he loves, before 'lacing the deadly mu.v.le to his o'.vu brain, or blade to Ins throat. Whence comes this multiplication of such crimes! What are the causes moving the erst while gentle hand to deprive ioved ones and then himself of the boon of human life! To arrive at an answer it is necessary to note the classes, char acters, and conditions of those who have perpetrated family and self destruction. Investigation dis closes that no profession, trade, or condition of life is free Irom exam ples. An able writer, Hon. Ch.as. II. Reeve, of Indiana, attributes to a .supposed growth of infidelity the chief cause, but it is in evidence that a considerable number of pro fessing Christians, even ministers of the Gospel, have been among the suiciding numbers. Another writer charges the recent reigning busi ness depression, and its attending despondency and want with the larger per cent of such murders: but in opposition to this theory stands the record of many wealthy persons having suicided. If some have been driven to murder and suicide by intanse passion or emo tion, otiiers have deliberately planned for their untimely taking ofF. leaving written expression ol their premeditation. To escape physical suffering may have been the motive in instances; bnt per haps a larger nnmbcr who have thus died were enjoying health. Youth, middle age, and old age are all included in the lists. Some physicians say that inclination to suicide is inherited: advocates of total abstinence hold dissipation to be the arch fiend: while others be lieve the sensational publication by the newspapers every family and suicide, puts it into the brain of many to perpetrate like crimes, who otherwise would never have thought of doing so. It is apparent that no single cause is re?ponsiblo for the epidemic. No doubt each of those cited have in duced some of the crimes. But whatever be the prompting, no con demnation can bo too severe against the yielding to the impulse to com mit snob shocking oit'ences. There are hours in the life of every person when lowering clouds darken their w ay, when disappointments grieve, when hope is cast down, and when seemingly insurmountable obstacles obstruct the paths leading to lor tune or happiness. Existence then is cheerless, and seems not worth endurance. But it ,is in just such hours that true manhood or woman hood has best opportunity for de monstrating itself. It is in the thickest of the tight, and in the face of threatening defeat, that the soldier earns repHte lor bravery. It is only under adversity that the heroic spirit finds highest develop ment. There is no one, however gloomy his situation, if only a halter be not stretching his neck, win' has not some brother or sister in the great human family whose condition is equally as hapless, and yet who is heroically overcoming the distressing ills. How much grander the latter character than the one who ilees the fight by sell destruction! There is not a being, amidst whatever surroundings, who, if patiently and persistently striving to improve them, but will measurablv succeed, aud in that success secure the approval of God. the admiration of his fellow men. ami the congratulations of his own conscience. X. Y. C'iil"l'iilitl ,i. lt;iilist on I'rohi bition. The Kov. Walter Scott, pastor ol the Notth New York Church, was elected Moderator of the Baptist Ministers' Conference yesterday. The iiiestion of the bearing ot tem perance upon the elections was dis cussed. The Kev.

They are either vain and empty decla mations or Hisgusting bravado, such as no man cf tho ability of Senator Sher man or iu his high station, could in dulge in without disgrace: or they are real sentiments, and mean when thor oughly analyzed that if the Republican party cannot obtain power in any other way. it shall obtain and hold it by the sword." I know that such an idea, if you do not relied upon it. is calculated to excite your derision: but stop and retlect. If the great State of Ohio can bo carried by such appeals to passion and prejudice as Sherman is making if his weapons shall be suiiicient to thrust from ot'.ice the men whom, two years ago. you elected if thev shall hew a way to a fifth term in theS'. uate for their author they will become the creed of the Republican p irty in lStS. and tho doctrine of hate w ill be strong ly, if not permanently, established in the land. " Juge Thuraian said the issue raised by Sherman is a dangerous one to the business and prosperity of the American people, and the effort to blow into tlame the dying embers of civil strife should be frowned down by all loyal people. The speaker next proceeded to answer the arguments of Sherman concerning the grevMus condition of the colored race in the South, claiming that they were now in the enjoyment of greater prosperity and greater civil rights thau were ever enjoyed on this globe by an equal number of their race. He dated the prosperity of that section from 137a. when the Democrats came into control and Radical rule and carpet bag govern ment ceased. At tho end of ten years, it can be safely aiHrmed that there is not an industry in the South but is more prosperous than it ever was in that region before, until now they have in many lines of manufacture become rivals of the mills of the East, rn States. The speaker sketched bricily leai.y en terprises in tho development of the South the free schools for colored youth, the contentment which exists among the colored people, and the fact that they have not migrated to any of the old free States. All this, it was argued, proves that they were not dis contented, nor murdered, nor deprived of their rights, as depicted bv Republi can orators. The colored men seemed to prefer living w ith thti w hite men of the South, even though they be Demo crats, to d welling in the tents of Radi cals, even though they be saints. It was argued that all those things could not be so if the negroes South wore in the state of wretchedness w inch hss been so often asserted. Judge Therm. iu quoted at length from the tenth ' f n-u-i Sv'0 sta tistics in proof of the assertion which he had made, the principal point being that the colored people are in the majority in but two of the Southern St ites -South Carolina : lined li s two s,r ate was to s. n 1 M .s 1 1 -pi --and he cun the census of those r.un T: w th to ebjs'Ct in these figures iepression in all values in peri-. : -vi-rol by Republican ru'e and the Hdv-ance of al i material interests umh-r D moorutic t.ivcniniont.

Judge Thurman denied the assumption of Si m.lor Sherman that all colored voters in the South are Republicans and would vote that ticket if not terrorized, lie said: "If it wc true, it would be a St-riotis question whether a people so servile and cowardly are lit to exercise the elective franchise; but for one, I do not believe they are so utterly debased.

It dwelt with pardonable pride upon the rapid advancement which had been made the past year in educational methods in the Southern States.

Sugg we are permitted to give our read ers some extracts from a letter he re ceived a few days ago from our Minis ter to Brazil. Hon. Thos. J. Jarvis. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Sept. 4th, 1885. We have been here nearly . two months and have seen something of the country and people. It is to some I extent like beginning life anew. To us ! it is a new language, a new country, a j new people and new wayn and habits. We are learning something of them all and accommodating ourselves to the j change as well and rapidly as we can. I We have a teacher and we are taking lessons three times a week in Portu guese. The class is composed of the old woman and myself, and the old woman is all the time at the head of the class, and consequently I am at the foot. So I am a school boy again. I know you would laugh if you could see me recit ing my lessons and hear the teacher correcting me. And what makes it worie, the old woman keeps away ahead of me and helps to correct me. In a month or two she will talk Portuguese like a native. But the funniest part of my experience was when I first got here. We are at a French hotel and there was not a ser vant in it that spoke a word of English, and I could not speak a word of any thing else. Fortunately the old woman could speak French, so I had to do all my talking through her. At the table I had to get her to order all I ate. Now just imagine me unable to get a thing to eat except by the permission of the old woman. It was indeed laughable to see me. I am now able to talk enough in Portugese to make known my wants and get what I want. I find I am all the time improving and I hope after a while I will be able to speak the lan guage much better than I thought it ever possible for me to do. It is a very expensive place to live. I have seen but one cheap thing as com pared with the cost of the same thing in our country, and what do you suppose that is? It is diamonds. They have the most beautiful diamonds here I ever saw anywhere and you can buy them for about half what they cost in the Cnited States. If you want diamonds this is the place to come to get them. I have enjoyed the magnificent scenery in and aroand Rio. The Bay is the most beautiful in the world. It is irregular in shape and surrounded by great mountains which make down to the very brink of the ocean. I have been up on the top of one of the highest, and from its lofty top I could look away out over the ocean and down upon the citv which lay far below me. Although it is midwinter, the grass is perfectly green and the roses and other flowers are in full bloom. So the hill sides and valleys are covered with beautiful green and some of them really lovely. The yards to some of the private residences are gems of beauty, and add much to the looks of the homes which otherwise would look plain. Now and then we see a very fine house, but they are rare and generally belong to some man who has his large coffee plantation and his slaves in the country. Slavery still exists here and some men own and work their hundreds. It costs the own ers but little to feed and clothe them, for the fruits grow in abundance and as to clothes, they need but little. As to houses, they only need a plack to keep off the rain. They never want a fire, so the slave owner has to supply bii slaves with but little. It is regular old fa&hioned slavery. They lock up the skives at night and whip them in the day, iust as was the custom in the South, and they sell them and mortgage them ju3t as was once the custom with us. It is a great country for giving mortgages. If Cousin William White head was here he would have a mort gage on a big coffee plantation and a hundred negroes in less than thirty days. -. Remember me to all my country friends when they ask after me, as I hope many of them do. Go where I may, be what I may, I shall never for get the people of Pitt. They have al ways been good to me, and I shall not forget it. I expect some day to live with them again and to be one of them. I am getting along here fairly well and I hope to like it still better as I be come better acquainted with country and people. But after all, Ike, It is not home, and to me never can be. I would so gladly exchange the glitter and pa rade of court life, the pomp and show of diplomatic life, for the pleasures of home life. I would so gladly give up the company that I meet in the gilded Baloons of the palace for a good old fashioned chat with the friends that I would meet in your office. But that cannot be for the present. The time will come, by and by, then I will re joice. Remember me to everybody. Truly yours, Thos. J. Jarvis. ' iin'ii rille Reflector. A Good Beglning. As we predicted, the Buffalo letter alleged to have been writtsn by Presi dent Cleveland turns out not be gen uine. But its publication has happily elicited the fact that the President has already "defined his position"' in rela tion to the New York election, and in no uncertain hesitating manner. President Cleveland authorizes the official statement that he has already "made an utterance. " and only one, on the subject of the New York election. It was written at his dictation by his private secretary in reply to a corres pondent, and as follows: The President is a Democrat, and it is strange that any person should question his position. He earnestly desires the success of his party in the pending elec tions in New York as well as elsewhere, ,7,i f any assertion to the contrary is ut terly ami maliciously false." The Mugwump journals will now probably abandon the idiotic theory that to support and encourage the Dem ocratic National Administration it is necessary to defeat and drive from power the Democratic party. At least thev can no longer venture to insinuate that such a policy is sanctioned by and would be agreeable to the President, after Mr. Cleveland has himself branded their impudent assumption that he de sires Mr. Hill's defeat and Mr. Daven port 's election as "utterly and malici ously false. " Honest Independents must now see tliat the foolish pretense of udecting Mr. Cleveland's enemies in order to benerit Mr. Cleveland'6 Administration is not only ridiculous but insincere and dis honest as well. It could stand for a moment with "the utter and malicious falsehood" that such a result would be harmonv with the President's views and wishes. And Mr. Cleveland has now exploded that falsehood in a man; ner that cannot be misunderstood. ( ur Mugwump contemporaries ought now to be honest enough to admit the deception they have practised and to acknow ledge "that they desire to elect ! lavenport in order to restore the lie publicans to power, in the State and na tion and to claim tho result as due M the Mugwumps on the ground that they elected the Democratic ticket last year and the Republican ticket this year. y V ir...-; i. Dismissed for Ising (iro-s Language Towards the President. W siiiNoToN. Oct. ;. Josenh E. 11 av i -n .. a SMOO clerk in the Pension Oil'iee. was dismissed today for using gross language toward the Executive of the Cnited States. The offense is alleged o have been committed while he was rid ing in a carriage on Pennsylvania ave nue, when, it is said, he even went so far as to wi-h for the death of the Piesi ioiit. Hayden was appointed by Presi- i, in Arthur but claims to be a 1 '.'ino CLIPPINGS. The English have accepted the Puritan without doubt. The Court Journal calls her a full-blooded, high-bred racer. "Tax whiskey to death" is the motto, of temperance adherents in the South, where drinking is slightly on the de cline. So many Martini-IIenry cartridges jammed during the late Egyptian war that it has been decided to adopt a bet tor form of ammunition. The young woman member of the se nior class of Yale Law School, the pio neer of her sex in that institution, is described as of "dignified appearance." Canon Farrar, in his lecture on Dante, declares the "Divine Comedy" superior to all the epics of Virgil or Milton, not excepting "Paradise Lost.1' The youngest Mayor in the United States, Mayor Aaron of Van Buren, Ark., 21 years of age, recently quarelled about a woman with a man named Tay lor, and shot him to death. A book recently published in Paris is "The Sad Influence of the Pianoforte Upon Musical Art," and the aim to dis establish the sovereignty of that instru ment in the homes of the land. The inventor of a process for refining sugar by electricity at an expense of 40 cents a ton has appeared, and asks $12, 000,000 for the patent. It is said that the process is to be tested in England. "Hwntws," is the name applied to the inhabitants of the south of Wales by the men of the north. The northmen have a strong dislike for a "Hwntw," and can hardly understand his dialect. The Paris Vaudeville Theatre has just adopted a very clever invention, by means of which each seat can be at one folded up into the thickness of three inches, rest for the arms and all; likewise a hat stand and a cane stand. The property of France, stored in the Garde Meuble in Paris, is said to hare value of round 80,000,000 francs. It consists chiefly of furniture glass, and china, and contains among other pieces of historical interest the bed and writ ing of Louis XVI. The Empress Eugenie intends to re- move the remains of the Empress Napo leon and of the young Prince Imperial from Chiselhurst to Aldershot. Arrange ments will be made for carrying oat this project as soon as the Empress re turns from the Continent. The legacy of 810,000 which Victor Hugo left in one of his wills to the poor of Paris has the curious informality of lacking his signature, although ,tbe clause is written entirely with his Own hand. The executors and heirs will of course treat it as a legalized bequest. Some time ago a compassionate Ger man nobleman bought the favorite old horse of the Emperor William, Sadowa, . and kept it in comfort till its death, a short time ago. Now the skin has been well tanned and dressed, and is pre served as an ornament and a relio in the nobleman '8 country seat. In 1863 the Rev. Newton Chance of Texas, killed an editor in Sherman, and moved to Mississippi. At that time was a lawyer, but, becoming converted, he entered the ministry. Recently he re turned to Texas, and while on a visit to Sherman was arrested for the murder committed twenty -two years ago. A sensation has been excited in Ger many by a series of articles in a leading Frankfort newspaper denouncing the apathy of the police in permitting heavy gambling to continue throughout the season t the club at Baden-Baden. Im mense sums of money have changed hands there lately, and duriDg the races two German sportsmen lost $100,000. Some experiments in London recently showed that the native English fishes are unable to survive in water heated much, if -any, in excess of 80 Fahr., yet in the low country of India and Burmah streams are filled with fish, where the water becomes from ten to fifteen degrees hotter than this every noonday. A son of the Duke of Wesminster is not the only English aristocrat who owns hansoms that are used by the public daily in London. His horses are of fine stock, and the cabs contain the latest improvement a lamp to read by at night, a place for an umbrella, a looking glass, and many other conven iences. To Prof. Briggs's severe review of the Old Testament revision Prof. C. A.
