No "ihdiavatlols" as Sa Weller would

mad to the &tbnli fbrtin his own
eplnionl of himelf. That we have not
been telling one of thoue "histories" so
prevalent now, we rise to explain. The
watermelon mentioned had a cavity in it
extndisn foIm mr time stem to the "in.
sards". The lizards mentioned entered
the perture for reason buet known to
themselves, and when the melon was cut
were fbad thesle.
New let the BDlrtiM expound his won.

The Markalille Balle*a very sensibly
suggests thi pratieal and benefell Ides:
Muu IT AT HI--Lard sells at twen.
et.es petr pound In this town and then
tbe desnd tis et for it. These is no
bettercuntry ta this for prk reeisg
and though at im, erarke t is glutted
wnita t, stl a t~is emeon ofthe year,
lard. Mat, ere., become a soares that it
iqulres rerbitant prices to procures them.
Lan and meat ought to be made here to
last the year round and no dependence
should be placed on the West for these
article of home onsumption. Our peo.
ple must learn to "lire at Ame and not
ard away."' Lard and meat should be
uade at home.
Lard is retalling here at twenty-five
cents a pound, and a scarcity at this fan
y pries. There is nt the saddow of a
reason why meat and lard could not be
produced in this section, but no marked
care or attention is manifested to attain
such a desirable consammation. It is
hardly to be expected that pork raising
will be an accomplished fact when the
franers won't even raise thetr own grain.
"Cotton is King," and, be gad, cotton
only shall be cunltivated. What would
become of tie moke houses and granaries
of the West, if the South should tread on
their toes by producing meat and bread?
The Vienna i~selsel is rather severe on
a class who abound.in every community,
when it says:
One of the vilest traits that can be de
vloped in the human character is that of
trying to traduce the fair name and char
acter of a fellow being. Too often do we
wce this trait maqifetul not only by
neighbors and pretended friends but also
by thdie conuected by consanguinity.
Thaw who n sort to such sordid means to
accomplish any desired end are devoid of
all ehristiauity and selfrespect and when
ever found out ought to be placed in the
mamne eategory with the thief, the robber
and the murderer.
There is much truth is these remarks,
but then there is no method by which to
reach the slanderers. Their tongues are
oiled, their honeyed words are rolled as a
sweet morsel pder their ogans of speech,
and the shaft so noholems armed and pro
jested, are tipped with deadly polon, that
is asu fatal as the venom of asps. The
wodr4 will easee to exist when this elass
cease their diabolicale work, and the evil
must needs be endured, for it is past all
cure.

The Puaune &turday morning referr
ed to the wlespred dand disastros drouth
which is alicting thecountry from the
Carolinas to Texas and fromt ebraska to
Pennsylvania and Virginia. Since then
our dispatches andl corredspodence, ald stl
so the massof information brought to as
bi our exchanges, all go to make upa
clapter of misfortune which has. both i
dark and a bright side. It has a very
dark side in so far as it shows that thim
core and other grain is Injured very seri
ously Indeed, the forae burned up and
the bay .crop le eug vegetables dte
crsed and cotton hurt; and this aspea.t
is somewhat relieved, first by the promise
of rain, which has already falle in small
quantities in Nebraska, issouri and oth
er States and second, by the rising priese,
which will leson the losses of farmers and
planters, and tend to equalize the burden
thronghout the land.
The report of th daily stae of water
in the rivers amre selent iniatesions of
the extent of the drouth.
Ofe ourse navigation is crippled under
such conditons. At Louisville during the
month of August the rain fall was only
fifteenth hundredtbhs of one inch. At
Richamond Va., the James river is lower
than the oldest citizens have ever seen it.
The falls reach to within a few yards of
Richmond and Danville bridge. The
scarcity of water in Richmond and Man
chester, Va., is anprecedented, and can
not continue longer without eausing
much additional sufering and inconve
nience. From all parts of Virginia come
discouraging reports of the condition of
crops. A drouth has been nearly univer
sal in that State. On high lands the corn
is a failure, much of it being cut for fod
der, and tobacco will make only half a
crop of poor quality. In the fine yellQw
tobacco districts the severity is noted. In
North Carolina (except along the copt,
where the season has been good for ebrn
and cotton) want of rain has occasioned
great suffering. Cotton isssmall andshed
ding; corn is nothing ln high lands, to
bacco is poorer than ever before. In South
Carolian, the region west of Columbia
will produce no corn, and but 80 per cent.
of cottop. In East Tennessee and West
Virginia corn, tobacco and grass are fail
ure. Copious showers are reported in the
valley of Virginia, which may save smnoe
thing there. Dispatches from all sections
of Pennsylvania show grnat damage.
Rivers are lower than ever, spring and
wells altost dried up, corn beyonslrecov
ery, wheat half a crop, no second erop o:

the lhamber region, price of butter and f

The Preperl f tLhe Faclerles.
lIardtford (Coon.) Post
The old dream of Southern factories
manufacturing cotton groods in thle cen
tre of the cotttna-grow ug country is in :a
fair way ot'realizat iou. For the last ten
years the progressin his direction has been
very striking and now in most of the cot
ton-growing States the new inaduia!rv is
fairly started, and in some it has attained
considerable dimensions. In Georgia, for
instance, a single factory, starred five
years ago, with a capital of $~200,1)0 has
grown to a corporation with live falctories,
a capital of $,lt,10,(00, and is paying twen
ty per cent. Similar, development is re
ported at difirent points in the State, and
aa a number of instances the growth has
been a hundred per cent, or maore within
two or three years. So in other Southtern
8tates the same thing has gone on until
cottoi-anills are found in considerable
numbers, almost all doing a thriving busi
noes, and mons of them leading to the es
tablishment of others in the vicinity. The
advantages of southern mills are too plain
to need mluch description. The cost of
transporting the cotton North formiuanfac
ture is about thirteen per cent of the price
for it, and most of this in saved to South
erm mills. The cost of living is less at the
Soath, and there are all the incidental ad
vantages which attend the working of a
staple article near the place of its prOsille
tion. In this case, too, there is the lwpecial
stimulus which comaaes fromn a success iln a
new field. Tle novelty of the thing hI:s
not worn off, and is attractive in itself.
Pubim Spirit.
(Slugr Planter.)
Public 8pirit is a sort of localized la-.
tidotism. Its action in refirence to townz
o- city, prepares it for the moremore extended
duties of the country. It is miade up of
generous ideas and nolle iamptinjas. It
givese sprit to the character thlt is es
iential to true manliness. It carries a
man away fron that short sightednese
which as. eus onlly what promises to blenlt.it
one elan or one locality in the. cotmunali
ty, and it imparts a spirit of coiprehenu
siveness that sees at ontce that the rela
tion of one portion of a countr. to 'the
whole, ims one bed of roses Lwrfutilx, -tiie
air of a whole neigborhood.
We may rsay. antd public spirit :thlvays
says of the country-as has been said oe
the human handy--The eye caat.lll man.
ttaito the hand, "1 have on need of the ;"
nor the head to the fect, "I have mi needl
of thee." The eyes or the headl thalt see?
the great ieald of the ctnilatry, delmandls
the cooperation of thle head or tite execn
tive iowers of the Ialmt; aiud the highest
functioniaries, like the head, aru altelleuadant,
on the feet, or the humblest citizent fir thi
pIreoervatioi of order ilaid t le slailtaitn
lmce of IoW and right.
The manl without a dollar to give fir
public improvements can If ad always in
which to expreAs his public spirit, it he.
has any, as well as the lmaerthant p'i?'ce, ia
wealthy planter or opulent nmiainfacturer.
This is an idea that is as much naeede Il a
a grand rimwulus to exertion. .
Publik spirit has a thousanld channels ill
which to low, and while it is expressed by
large gifts which secir tt'he colmpletiou tof
