Elsewhere we publish it abort -'article on. "pitching crops.'' It is from the. pen of W. L.Jones, in the Atlanta Constitution, himself a practical farmer. Two good V points made in this article have . been made through tbe columns of ' the JOURNAL time aud again, viz : 7 Plant no land in corn, that will .not r prod ace ten bushels to tbe acre in an unfavorable season ; a man will .' ran in debt to cultivate land that ' "'will make less; better let it grow up " jn weeds or sow it in cow peas ( which will Improve it.

FARX9 AND FaBXEES. Short Talks With the Men Who Guide ? tha Flow. ' trErery farmer has thought over the pitching of his crops, and pretty well decided the matter. But as -planting has nearly begun, the sub ject is still open for discussion, and a few suggestions may not be un timely. It is better to under crop than to over crop one's self. Con aider well the stock yon have tbe hands yon can control, and decide how many acres yon can manage if . tbe season prores to be very wet In Jtay and Jnne It may not be rainy during theee-montha, but yon have no guarantee to that effect. It has been rainy in May and June, and may be so again tuts year. Jear in mind that if it is rainy then and the. grass grows rapidly, that all your neighbors will- be ofter the lioatinff labor as well as yourself. A very cafe rule is farming is to make all arrangements to meet the worst possible adrerae com bin a tionav In Dractice we are prone to make our atrangeaents with a view to the best instead jof the worst We make no discounts for bad weather, for sickness, for protracted meetings, for political excitements and other perturbations.

J , in Atlanta Constitution. North Carollaa la CoBgress. I OorrrapoiMlaDt WUmlngton Measengvr WASHIKOT05, D. D Feb. 2$. In conversation with Mr. Simmons upon the subject of his educational bill be said he was impelled to in troduce that bill from a conviction that the Blair bill could never be come a law. Lie was entirely satisfied from his observation here that if the South expected any aid in this matter some other method than that proposed by Mr. Blair would have to be devised. That measure had been before three consecutive Congresses and had never come to a vote in the House and never would. Tet the oppo nents of tbe bill in the House might be grouped into two classes. One objected to it npon grounds of public policy aud tbe other because they honestly believe it is open to grave constitutional objections. Tbe latter class were unwilling to vote against tbe bill on account of their constituents, aud unwilling to vote for it against Ibeir convic tions of constitutional objections. (These, be thought, were powerful enough to prevent its considera tion.) l or himself he did not be long to either class and would be glad of an opportunity to vote ior Mr. Blair's bill, but as a practical man ne saw no use oi nursing a hope which could not be realized. Any member of Congress would tell you there was no chance for the Blair bill. lie did not know that the plan of his bill would meet with any better fate, but be knew it was of paramount importance to his people to have some help in their straggle against ignorance and be believed it was not open to some of the chief objections raised against the other. It would not give, be said, as much as the Ulalr bill, bnt inanv insisted that that bill gave too much, for in tbe third year .to get the benefits of it, in .North Carolina we would bare to raise a taxation for schools twice as much as we now collect in that way for that purpose from the people, and he did know that the people would be prepared to bear such an increase of burdens. Under his (Simmons'e) bill the people of bis State would get a practically permanent school land of about two hundred thousand dollars per annum, and he thought that better than a temporary surfeit followed by a dearth. Mr. Simmons introduced the fol lowing bills yesterday: For the survey of Swift creek above Vance boro, for the survey of White Oak river from its mouth near Swans boro to Smith's bridge; for the surrey of Fishing; week lrom the mouth to the limit of practical navigation. Mr. Simmons, on instant notice from tbe Hirer and Harbor Com mittee, appeared before it in behalf of improvements in his district, notably inland navigation from New Berne to Beaufort. Major Latham will appear before tbe Committee on Rivers and Harbors Wednesday in the interest of streams and harbors in his dis trict, including the Bubject of in land navigation. Senator Vance introduced bill (heretofore alluded to as haring been introduced in the House by Major Latham) for the relief of the legal representative of Col. John Baptista Ashe. Senator Vance's speech on the Tariff question which be got in as an "aside" in the debate on the Nicaragua Canal bill, was highly relished both on the floor and in tbe galleries. It was very fanny and, pnt the Republicans in a ridiculous attitude. The outlines are telegraphed by the Associated Press. He spoke for seven, or eight minntes. , , i Citizens of Dare oonnty petition through Major Latham for an In crease ii the pay of the-keepers and .aarfman of the lire sating BBTTice . v " - aWeKiaa'a iraiw Sit, Tan Beet Jalvb' in tie mtli tot Oats, BraiMB, Bored, Uleers,y8au Ebenm, Frrer Saras, Tetter, Chapped Bands, ChilblabM, Corn, and all fckin Ereptioca, and poattireljf cares f i.o ot bo par required.

The animal.: hesitates, rises slowly re treats Borne steps, looking earnest ly about him, 'lies down, again retreats, till -getting by degrees quite out of the magio circle of man's influence, he takes . flight in the utmost haste. Elephant Stories.' The ancients were wel acquainted with the elephant, which formed a part of the fighting maierialof erery great oonquerer's army and shared in all triumphal processions, but when Borne no longer sent out her armies to forage the whole world for wonders as well as for plunder tbe elephant became to southern Europe a mythical marvel only. Wonderful stories are told by ancient writers of the feats of train ed elephants. Pliney says that they would haul javelins, fight with each other as gladiators, and dance the Pyrrhic dances. Further, that they would walk forward and backward, and even dance on a rope. This latter feat, though at tested by 6uch writers as Pliney, Suetonius, Dion, and Allan, has never been credited by modern showmen. Iu 125C, Louis IX., of France, brought from Egypt an African elephant, which he sent to Henry 111. of England. .This elephant was kept in the Tower of London, where, we judge, he had quite comfortable quarters, if the order given by the King to the sheriff was obeyed, to wit: "We command you that of the farm of onr city you cause, without delay, to bo built at our Tower of London one house of forty feet long and twenty feet deep for our elephant." What became of this well provided beast and bow long he lived tbe history does not tell us. v WOSDKKrCIi OCHKSt W. D.
