With of 'astern North Carolina. By reference to the map yon will fe that these lines are penned a xnt the spot where the Western orth Carolina Railroad begins the winding stairs, to to speak, by which that road climbs over the Blue Ridge. The most stupendous achievement of engineering of this or any other country commences ja8t alout here, anil from this point four distinct views of the moving trains are had as they completer encircle the hotel in the serpent- like coils of the route, which gives it a fair claim to the title of au ele vated railway. Tuo situation here is picturesque and beautiful beyond description; it has to be seen to be appreciated. The mountains stand aroand in magnificent grandeur, kissing the very clouds with their ftummits and looking down with smiling felicity from their superior altitude, on the plains below. The foliage of the growing trees and shrubbery is just losely. That soms in great unrjory and by no culture save that of the dame herself. The chestnut with its beautiful foilage blooms, ' delighting to the eye now and promising to the palate a rich har- vest next fall.

An arched viaduct in the railroad iu full view of the porch of the hotel was adjudged by my rack of eye to be about fifteen teet while by actual measure is forty-eight. J1V estimate oi distance i sim more faulty, and when I start to go to a given point, it always proves fur ther than I had supposed. But. for purity of air, and quality of water, there can be none superior. A wit has said that the air was so bracing here that be could lean again-r vacancy and scratch hi back with no thanks to the Duke of Argyle, and I know the water is so pure aud palatable that it goes well without lemons, sugar or .firtutf fermenti, and whenever they arc combined it is because the water improves them and not the the water.

Respectfully. .1 Ki fei;s"N Davis. Mr. Da is stated :n h;s informal emivi-rsat ;nn with a representative of t he I'leaitiine, and not for publica tion, that the views expressed in this spurious letter are precisely, the reverse of those actually enter tained by him. The troops in the Union army were all mustered into the Federal service. The States, ' as such, had no troops in the war, and eon:'quently all military stores and trophies captured became the property of the General Govern- ' ment and subject to control and at the disposition of Congress only. Confederate Hags had from time to time been returned to Southern' States bv Northern Legislatures and various military associations. There was in reality no authority1 under law tor tnese acts ot cour tesv. but the matter was not eon- t sidcred of material importance, and the question was never raised until : the issuance of the recent order by Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Davis declares that he had resisted all attempts of newspaper men to Interview him on the subject, and he would Lave remained silent but for this remark able and unique swindle, which he denounced over and over in general and in detail as false in every re spect. Why not try Buckwheat. There are many readers of The Southern Cult irutor "ho are not aware that uur common buckwheat plant, known as buckwheat, had an ! Astatic origin. It is a native of the ; Volgan valley, and was introduced into Spain by the. Moors. From ! Spam it was introduced into der many and from thence into the other Furopean countries, reaching the colony of New York through the e.uly Hutch -et tiers. In Ger many it is known a Inuh ictiytn ( "beech wheat"' from the fancied resemblance of its seeds to the common beech nut. The English . name "buckwheat" i- therefore manifestly a mere corruption of" the German huch-irciien. In the L'uited States. thrives best m the border-Southern or Mid dle States; and as it requires con tinued dry weather is never sown earlier than about the first week in June. The usual method of sow-, ing, in Virginia and Kentucky, is; in drills between the rows of corn' at the last plowing. It blooms about the last of September, and matures before the early November passes. It yields very abundantly : It " l i JIM I 1 It' ll '. S i"il ll Ia, lt- I I I l lr ""teiuh.n and no fertilizing I have krj0wn a vield of forty bushels to the acre, weigtnng nea.iy nity pounds to the bushel. And not- witnsranuing ine resemoiance oi ta ceeii fo rriiin in ir una iries1 jualities and uses, common wheat and other cured crops will generally succeed well after buckwheat, provided care I be taken to keep the soil clear of i ini purities. It is an economical crop, and there seems no good reason why it might not be cultivated successfully in the northern portions of the Carolina. Georgia and Alabama. . The seed, a grain, makes excellent porridge, and when ground the , flour makes superior cakes. Jt is j very nutritions, containing from i nine to ten per cent of glut ten and considerably more than fifty per j cent of starch, besides a consider i able percentage of sugar. It is better food for horses than is either oats or corn, and its production costs considerably less than either. The stalk- and le.n . s are excellent food for milch cows. I do not re member to have ever seen it grow ; ing in Georgia, and have often won dered why uur Georgia fanners have never made the experiment. Perhaps some ot them have: if so, I should be pleased to learn through the columns of ' Th- L'ulti r,itr. the result of their experiment. Sunt h ern Cult ivatvr. A Mauia r..r betting. As an illustration of the mania ' for betting during the reign of George III.. Walpole has a good ' story of a man, who. coming into White's club the morning of the earthquak in London, Feb. S, 1780, was horrified to hear bets laid as 'to whether the shock was caused by an earthquake or the blowing up of the Llouuslow powder nulls. This member ru.-hed out of the club declaring it was his opinion of 1 1 the impious set preseut: "If the 'last trumpet was to sound they would back puppet show against judgment." One of tht) Dlakes, of Galway, about the same time bet. 1 1,500 that he would get a man who would live twelve hours under water, , hired a desperate fellow and sank him in a boat by way of experi ment. Neither man nor boat was ever heard of again. A few of the best made then were rather comical. For instance. Lords Alvanley and l)c Ross made a wager over night in the partridge season as who would make the big- Lrest bag on the morrow, it beine 1 winning, shot a donkey : but how i Lord De Ross got out of i; is not on record. tit.

The above question confronts t fie tanner at present, and a number of inquiries about it have reached us recently. No indexible rule can be laid down. Here, as in most farming matters, one must take all surrounding circumstances into .consideration and exercise sound discretion and judgment. First, I as to corn : l'y the time the plant I is in full silk and tassel it has at , tained to its full growth. All that remains for it to do is to form its i ear. This is done chieliy with ma terial already elaborated and dis i tribnted through its stalk and j leaves: partly, but in smaller de ; gree, from new material from with- out- Up to the time then the grain ; begins to harden, the plant is i gathering material from soil and I air. Its relations to these should 'not, therefore, be disturbed, its leaves should not be stripped and its roots should not be cut. Ju dicious plowing enables it to get materials from the soil more readi ly ; injudicious plowing will greatly interfere with its work in this re spect. Moreover, its leaves are then quite liable to be broken off, as well as whole stalks. It be comes a choice, then, between two evils: mutilating the plant above ground and cutting its roots on the one hand, and having the surface compacted and crusted, and there fore unfavorable to food forming and root action, on the other. With these general facts before us. let us look at surrounding con ditions. If the soiled with humus, is soft and friable, is clean and not dis posed to bake and crust, it is ob i vious tfiat a crop may be laid by p:irlior than wlipn rmnnsitp non - oi, c;i ffiii, need the late plowing, and root cutting and ventiliation of plant is I avoided. Aga'n, if land is rich and j moist, corn grows rapidly and doesj its work in a shorter time than on : poor dry soil. If laid by therefore; in the "bunch" it will mature its ear before there is much need of another working. You hear a far-j mer say. "I had to lay by that; core with two workings, it grew so, fast 1 could not plow it again." On poor soil, destitute of humus and , liable to get hard and bake, the conditions are entirely different. The corn does its work slowly. Its 1 roots do not find food at every j turn. The effect of plowing does , not last long : another is soon j needed; it cannot be laid bv early i to advantage. If the soil could be plowed only an inch deep strictly speaking and this could be done without breaking down leaves and stalks, and it would be well to continue plowing corn up to the time the gram is m the dough state. But the conditions we have laid down are almost practically impossible. It is hard to gauge plows to run just that in doing it, as soon as his back i.- ' ' turued. deeper the plow goes down into the ground. A shallow-running plow is harder to hold steady the negro wants to be relieved from the labor of holding it to its place and he likes to see a plow throw a plenty of dirt that is his beau ideal of good plowing. We conclude, therefore, it is safer to lav bv corn rather earlv on ri(.M iarH. when in "hnnch" ' . , I . . J -i- 1 . 1. , e 1 V iV ,V ,1Lelu'lu tassel ing. when the corn gets old, new roots are not formt;d readily; erowtli in every directiou is abont ceasing. jjirect experiments on the effects 0f root-cutting have shown that it is very injurious to corn after it tassels.

Sharp tottered into court this mot n ing looking weird and worn, with hardly a vestige of color in his wrinkled and woe begone face. ! The reason for this was that he had passed a terrible night, not even getting as much sleep as was his lot Saturday night. Mrs. Sharp, , who had been privileged to remain with him had been assiduous in her attentions to her sick husband and had not rested one moment during the entire night. With the begin ning of the reading by Mr, Nicoll of his testimony before the Senate investigating committee the first business was to again adjourn the June term of Oyer and Terminer to Monday, July 11, after which Har rison D. Kerr, one of the Seventh Avenue directors, was called as a witness for the prosecution, but he failed to respond. Semate stenog rapher Correll was recalled to the ' stand, while the balance of the testi mony of Sharp before the senate! committee, or so much thereof as the prosecution desired, was read by the assistant district attorney. 'Mr. Nicoll finished reading the 1 testimony at 11. 17 and rested the case for the people. Ex-Alderman 1 FullgratT came into court and had a short private canference with ; Peter Mitchell of counsel for de I fence, then went out. closely follow ed by the district attorney, who acted" as though he was fearful that the state s best witness was going o turn trator aud he must do something to prevent it. Ten minutes' rest was taken after the prosecution closed, alter which Mr. Parsons arose and commenced the opening address in behalf of the de fence. Mr Parsons spoke five hours, not including the time taken for recess. He concluded with an appeal to the jury not to be influenced by any thing but the evidence in detenn ing their verdict. During the in termission after Mr. Parson's ad dress, Dr. Looinis examined Sharp in one of the ante rooms. He pro nounced Sharp a very sick. The taking of testimony for the defence then began. A straight line can be drawn through seventy-five miles of the Indian River, Florida, without ! touching shore. It is called the ' straightest river in the world. NEWS NOTE?.

Editoh Constitution: I notice u well written piece in your good paper of May 10, from a correspondent of "Southern Farm,'" "An Assault on Southern Farm ers," from which you dissent. Now, gentlemen, you both are a little wrong. : I'll admit that you are correct in some things, but you don't go far enough. veuavt.-tL.ia 33 guuu iai We have a class of good farmers in the . rr-. , . .i ii fputn. iney wors cyme o.a ruie- ous. i ou can hear tneir gee-haw at day break, and the crackling of their burning brush heaps at nine o'clock at night. All merry, no mortgage on their homes. They are the true cause of the South'a seeming prosperity. Theu we have a large class of farmers that have no rule to work by: they have forgotten the old time get up before day rule. They have let the good old tan trough rot. The old loom has ceased her "go bang, bang.'" They buy too much cali co, and, to put all in a nutshell, they live too fast They have too much self confidence, i. e., buy too much on a credit. Hence comes the mortgage. And we have another class of farmers that do not work at all living by the same rule too fast until they have about fizzed out. Now. as soon as the late war closed, if all the farming classes had gone to work in the right manner, lived at home and boarded at same place, tanned their own leather, wore and made their own clothes, bought little, paid cash, I say today the South would be the most prosperous country under the sun. Too much lazi- nets and living too fast is and has been our great drawback. There is no doubt but that any man would prosper, yes. get rich, in the South if he would work as our prosperous forefathers did eighty years ago. We have the be.-t farming country on the globe. F.

A locomotive spark started the bla.:e at noon in the lumber-yard of th" Up ham furniture factory, and it rapidly developed into a roaring tire thtt e; rea 1 toward the town. Insufficient protection faro-uts pre vented any resistance to the tlames. a:i i soon several flourishing factories, the business blocks along the main street and adjoining residences were wrapped in flames. The people gathered such household effects as they could and tied to the woods. The heat was so intense that 2,000 feet of the Wisconsin Central track, which runs thro-igh one end of the town, was bent and twisted into the most grotesque shapes. Travtl cannot be resumed on this account until tomor row. Specials from Stevens' Point an i Chippewa Falls conveyed lire engine to the place, but the the was beyond all control. But one store and a few half burned houses remain of the llouri.-h-ing town. Many people were transferred by spe cials to the neighboring towns, and others camped on the outskirts r f the town. Among the buildings destroyed were a woodenware factory, the grist mill, saw mill and factory cf the Up-, ham Manufacturing Co., the Tremont and several authorities; warehouses along the Wisconsin Central, its depot. four churches and the entire centre.
