That was tho way in * hjeh discussions between Mr. and Mrti. Grant usually ended, disproving tho old assertion that a woman will al ways have tho last word. Thbj ovoning Mr. Grant had been longer in reaching that docision than usual, and it did not soem quite satis factory to hiui, for ho stood a momont with his hand on the knob, and then earae back to his wlfo's chair. "Well!" she said, somewhat impa tiently. "Or course," ho said " you wouldn't think it was bestunloss sho was ontiro ly wllliug. Remember, I owe a great deal to Aunt Margaret." "Well, I am sure anybody would say you had repaid her woll." ??My dear," Mr. Grant began, but she was apparently unwilling to reopen tho question, and hastened to say: "I'm sure sho will bo willing, Kobejft. Don't worry about that. Leavo It to mo to manage Of course, there is no hurry." "Oh, no," ho, said, "no hurry at all," and then he had gono. " Woll," sho said, with u look of re lief, as tho door closed behind him, " so far, so good. 1 won't say anything to Aunt Margrrot until noxt weok .when Robert Is gone. I hope she will ot be unreasonable." one> Jthon ^that - In her pleasant room across the hall Aunt Margaret sat in her low rocker beforo tho grato. Her hands were busy jtrith hor knitting, but her thoughts were wandering In the past. How distinctly she romombored sail ing bark boats in tbo meadow brook, playing Robinson Crusoo on its tiny Island, and hunting tho Spring flowers. Thon tho happy school days brought a smile to her lips, and as she recalled the applo-booB and qulltlngs, tho picnics and singing-schools, her room seemed filled with tho prosenco of tho friends of'hor youth who had shared in those merry-makings. Again they were gathered In that very room at her sister Fanny's wedding, and tho walls re-echoed with music and laughtor. Now they hayovanishod. all but one, thJTone- ~tn airrho world to her en, and he sitting by her side. Ah, 'that was sixty years ago: or was it only yosterday ? Her wedding dross was almost done, and the preparations for tho wedding feast wore bogun when Fanny ana Fanny's husband sickened and died, leaving two llttlo boys, .Tamos and Robert and Margaret had said : " Wo must wait a little, John." One year, two years passed, and now John was going West. "You will go with mo." ho pleaded. Could sho go and leave her aged father, her mother strlckon with Saralysis, and tho llttlo orphan chll ren r "No, John, 1 cannot go, but 1 can not ask youoto wait for mo any longer. You aro frco. Good-bye, good-byo." Is that a tear glistening in the fire light ? Then came a long, montonous stroteh of years, broken only by sud events, tho drowing of James, tho death of her father and mother, tho nows of John's marriage. But tho dally labor was lightened by love, and though tho joy and hope of youth wore gono, peaco took their pluco. Then Robert married, and brought his wlfo to brighten the old home. . Vory swoot and goutlo sho was, and Aunt Margaret wept as if for hor own daughter when bIio diod a fow years after. But sho had little time for tears. There was a baby boy to bo carod for. How winsome and mis chievous ho was, and how tho years which had whitened her hair and wrinkled hor brow and bent her form had given him strongth and manli ness ! How empty tho houso seemed when he wont away to col lego ? And then his father had brought homo another wlfo, and since then? Ah ! the firo has burned low, and tho stocking is dohe. "Good morning, Aunt Margaret;! > thought I would bring my work and sit with you for awhile. How pleasant this room is. It is just such a room as Mrs. Rogers' library, whoro I visted last Fall. Hors is all llnished and fur nished in hard woods ; all that sido of tho room is lined with book cases, Her writing desk stands hero, and the library tablo thero. It is just such a room as I havo alway planned to havo, somo time," ami Mrs. Grant chattod on of other things. At last sho spoko of tho Home for tho Aged at Clayton, and said: "I was tolling Robert tho other day that I thought you would enjoy it better to live In an old ladies' homo. Tho ono at Clayton is very nice. Tho matron and all tho attendants aro so kind f am suro you would like it. You could tako down all of this furniture you wanted, and your pictures to hang on tho walls to make it seem homolike. Of courso it would bo somo exponso, but Robort Bald ho would bo glad to moot that."< Sho had talkod on, kooping hor head bent over her work. Sho had not soon tho look of blank amazomont pass ovor Aunt Margarot's faco, leaving it per fectly white, but sho hoard a stilled moan. M Oh, Aunt Margarot, aro you hav ing thoso rhoumatio twings again V Whoro is tho pain this timo ?" sho asked lightly. " In my hoart." Bald Aunt Margarot, making a pitiful attempt to smile. "Oh, I hope not. Rhoumatism of tho hoart is vory bad. That is ono thing I told Robert; at tho homo you would always havo tho best modical euro and nursing." "And then you could havo your li brary," said Aunt Margaret, slowly. " Why, yes, perhaps I could, but I i don't want you to think?" "No," said Aunt Margarot, "I know you don't, and I don't want to, but how can r help it?" Mrs. Grant madoa numbor of button holes in silence, then she said: "Well, what shall I toll Robert?" "You may toll him I will go whon evor ho wishes mo to," tho feoblo voico faltered. "Vory woll," said Clara, in a ro lloved tono. "I thought you would think it was best. Supposo I tell him the first of April." " The first of April, why that is noxt wook ; lot mo stay a littlo longor : just a few wooks." "Vory woll," said Mrs. Grant, fold ing up hor work : " probably tho twon tioth would bo bettor. Robort has to go to Clayton thon on businoss. But I am afraid I havo tirod you with my long vi-.it : I must go now." As the door closed behind hor Aunt Margarot loaned her gray hoad on the tablo before her and burst into tears. "To think it should como to this," sho sobbed, "that I should bo grudgod a room to dlo In. Oh, Robort, Robort.' At last the tears ceased, and lifting her hoad sho lookod for a long timo out at tho greoning hills, behind which for nearly oighty years she had soon tho sun sotthon, turning sho looked from tho other at tho white monuments ?'learning through tho troos and mark ng tho poet whoro so many sho had loved and cared for restod. " There Is room for the old woman there," sho said, bitterly, and tho tears # tar tod bitterly, but sho kept them back, and lying down on the lounge fell into a troubled sleep. And tho days oaniu and wont, each bringing nearer tho twentieth. Such short, sad days, and yet she sought to hido tboir sadness in her heavy heart, and busied horself packing and making preparations for her journey. Aud Robert was deeoived and thought she wished to tnake the change; and when 'Clara's heart reproached her. she thought of her library and said : " Sho will soon got used to It and then she won't mind. But though she said it over and over tho morning sho wont away, it was long beforo sho could forgot tho pa thetic hopelessness of her last back ward look. Whon Robert returned his wife asked him but fow quostlons; and whon sho would huvo talked over with him her plans for furnishing tho li brary, ho only said: "Do Ba you think best." And once when she laughingly aslcod: "Are you not afruid I will make it cost too much V" ho sighed and answered: "I am afraid it has cost too much airoady." Young James was away at collego, and when ho heard that Aunt Marga rot had gono to tho Old Ladies' Home ho could not understand it. Ho wroto to her and to his fathor, and neither of thoir answers satisfied him ; but othor matter? claimed his attontion. In Juno ho was graduated with honors, and a fow weeks after, his murriago with Elsio Knowlton occurred. Tho happy couplo took a bridal tour among tho mountains beforo sottling down to housekeeping in James' native city. Thoy plannod thoir return journey through Clayton and stopped over a day to visit Aunt Margarot. Eisie had heard James spoak of hor so often that sho was quite prepared to love tho littlo lady who welcomed her so warm ly. Aunt Margarot wanted to hoar all their experiences and plans, but James could get her to say but littlo of hor self. She enjoyed tho day so much j that it was hard for her to say good- | byo when tho time came for them to leave. " It seems as if you ought to bo go ing home with us, auntie," said James. Thoro was a wistful look in her oyes, but sho did not trust horself to spoak. Thoy woro obliged to wait awhile in tho rocoption room whoro thoy met the matron. " Yes," sho said, in answer to a remark of Elsie's, " this homo is u great benofit to many an aged woman. Homo who aro loft in circumstances of oxtrome destitution aro supported horo by thoir friends. A number of our rooms aro endowed for the uso of tho vory poor who havo no friend willing or ablo to pay thoir oxponses. Others aro loft with somo property but without any family frionds, and aro glad to pass tho clos ing years of lifo bore, where thoy ro coivo tho caro and attontion often lacking in a boarding houso. " But thoro is unother class hero for whom I fcol sorry. Thoro aro old ladies hero who woro docply attached to their homes, but whoso children or grandohildron do not want tho trouble of caring for them. Thoro is no stig ma attached to providing for them as thoro would be in sending them to tho poor houso. But it is hard to transplant old people. Of course wo do all wo can to make thorn happy, but nothing can make up for tho old, familiar scenes and faces, nor take away tho bitterness of tho thought that thoy were notwantod." James and Elsio looked grave, but at that moment their car passed, and tho conversation was interrupted. Tho following evening thoy stood in the library at Fathor Grant's, .look ing out as Aunt Margarot had so often dono at tho sunset. "What a beautiful scone," exclaim ed Elise, i"and what a beautiful room," sho added ; but James answered : "I had rather see it a? it was whon I wont away. It was Aunt Margaret's .'oom ; poor auntie I" and ho sighed. After a few days they went to house* keeping iu their own homo, a littlo farther down tho street. Very busy and happy thoy woro arranging thoir furniture, hanging pictures, and de ciding where many of- tho protty wed ding gifts should bo placod. At last , it was all dono but ono room. From I tho first Elsio had said that her plan j for that room was a secret, and James had laughingly declared that she could not koop a secret two days ; but it was not until tho morning of the third day that sho came behind Iiis chair at tho breakfast tablo and whispered something in his ear that mado him catch her in his arms and kiss hor as ho exclaimed : " Do you really menu it, Elsio?" All tho breakfast time thoy discuss ed hor plan, and James pointed out all tho objections to it, but Elsio had an answer for oach one, and at last ho said as his father had dono, but in a vory different tono : "Do as you think best, dear." A few days after James went to Clay ton. "When ho camo back late in tho ovoning Aunt Margarot was with him. Sho was very tired, and aftor a warm supper, Elsio took hor oiX to bed. Thon sho camo back to hear James' ac count of his day. " It was all I could do to persuade her to como," ho said, in conclusion. "I don't know as I should havo suc ceeded if you hadn't sent that littlo note, but that settled it. Aftor sho had read it, sho leaned back in hor chair and said, with tho toars running down hor cheeks: "She wants mo, sho wants mo. Thank God, I shall dio in Camden, aftor all.'" " Die !" said Elsio, wipping her own eyes, "shomusn'ttalkaboutdyingyot." Whon it became known that Aunt Margarot had returned to spend tho remaining yoarsof hor lifo with James and Elsio, thoro were many comments. Robert Grant kissed tho youug woman fondly, and said : " God bless you, my daughter," while Iiis wifo doclurod that it was tho most foolish idea sho over heard of, and prophesied that Elsio would soon rogrot it. But hor prediction was novor verifi ed, though for livo years Aunt Marga rot gradually grow moro fooblo, and needed moro caro, and Elsie was obliged to givo up many of tho plea sures of society on her account. Then tho day camo when sho bont to catch tho last whisporod words of blessing. Standing at tho opon grave, sho seomod to hoar tho words : " As yo havo dono it unto tho least of thoso, my brethren, yo havo dono it unto mo," and returning to hor homo, hal lowed by precious memories, sho felt richly repaid forovory sacrifico. Reversing the Order ok Things. ?A spocial dispatch from Homor, Ala., says: A case that has puzzled tho physicians of this community was was ended today in a singular manner. About a wook ago an old man named Weathorow was attacked with a vio lent spell of hiccough?, whieh kopt up until tho old follow was convulsed with hysteria. Everything that incdicino was uapablo of was dono to stop the af tion, but it continuod until tho doctors despaired of saving his life. Mothor ow's motheMn-laW had heard of an old-fashioned way of ounng hiccoughs and sho dotorniined to mr.ke uso of it. Gun in hand sho managed to creep, without being detected, under tho bod in which Wothorow lay, and whon sho and tho old man woro loft alono for a momont sho pulled tho trigger. In her agitation sho forgot to aim for the Honor, in which tho load might bury itself in safoty, and instead lot tho dis charge tear a holo through tho mat tress on which Wothorow lay. Tho powdor burned tho sick man'i toes, and in a rago ho sprang from tho bod, and dragging tho woman from benonth nrocoodod to givo hor a sound beating. In his anger Wethorow forgot nil about his hiccoughs, and when tho doctors called, oxpcctingto see adying man, ho was dining, and thoy had only the mother-in-law's bruises to look aftor. / NOMINATIONS WERE NOT MADE.

Cotton Originated in tlio East?Its Growth untl Manufacture l'or Many Years Confined to India?Herodotus and iMiiij Wrote Auoutlt. Tho authorities of Clomsop Collogo j havo issued a deeply interesting bullo | tin on "Fertilizer Experiments with j Cotton," including a historical skotch, i a comparison of varieties, tho classiti ! cation and grade of crossed varieties, j Tho historical skotch is prepared by j John N. Hook, and overy farmer and I overy man, no matter what hisoccupa i tlon, can read It with profit: Cotton (Gossypium)?Tho ordor to I which this belongs is Malvaoouo. Okra I and tho hollyhock arc ombraccd in tho I same family. Tho word cotton is do ! rived from tho Arabic word koton. ! Skinner, tho etymologist, says cotton is so called from Its similtudo to tho down which adhoros to tho quince, Malis cydomis. An examination into tho history of tho great materials designed by Provi donco for human clothing develops tho romarkablo fact that not ono was as signed to Europe Asia was liberally supplied, receiving all?cottou, flax, the silk worm?audits mountains aro known to have been tho homo of the , shoep, which frequently attain the size of tho fallow deor. Silk was tlrst mado in China, and tho produco of tho silk worm was first brought China to to Constantinople by .two Persian monks in tho reign of Justinian, A. D. 552. Flax is indigenous in Egypt and also in Amorica?(Clavigoro's Moxico, pp. 25, 2<i.) Of the four staple libers used in cloth making, cotton and tlax aro of vegetable origin, whilo silk and wool aro animal products. In this provi dential assignment, to Africa and America were given flax and cotton. Cotton was known to tho ancient Asiastics and Egyptians, and it is said to be tho spontaneous production of all inter-tropical regions. Columbus, Ma gellan, Drake, Cavendish, Dumpier, and indeed, nearly all tho early voy agers and explorers, concur in repre senting that they saw cotton growing wild and in great ubundanco in the West India Islands and on tho conti nent. Columbus found in St. Salvador, whero ho first landed, tho women dressed in "short cotton coats," and his crew exchanged caps, beads and other toys for "cotton yarn." Tho growth and manufacture of cot ton for many centuries woro confined exclusively to India. Herodotus, tho father of history, who lived 445 years before Christ, writes : "Tho inhabi tants of that country make their cloth es of the product of a certain plant, which, instead of fruit, produces wool of a finer and better quality than sheep." Pliny, who lived A. I). 75, in forms us, "There grows in upper Egypt, near Arabia, a slirub called gos sypium, by others xylon, from which Stulls are made that wo call xylina. It is small and bears a fruit resembling the filbort, within a downy wool, which is spun into thread." The sumu author, speaking of the production of tho island of Tylos, In the Persian Gulf, mentions "Wool-bearing trees that bear a fruit liko a gourd and " the size of a quince, which, bursting \\ neu it is ripo, dis plays a ball of downy wool, from which are made costly garments, of a fabric rosombling linen." A late writer has also observed, that as flax could not bo successfully grown on tho soil of Ara bia, and tho climate too hot for tho flue fleece of sheep, that cotton must havo been utilized for the purposos of cloth ing in tho infancy of tho humau race. Tho Hebrew writers mako no allu sion to .the wool-bearing shrub. In Greek and Roman litcraturo only the slightest notices of it aro to bo found. This omission seems to bo duo to tho fact that tho nat ions, bordering upon tho Mediterranean, wero uttorly unac quainted with tho populous countries beyond tho Indus. Virgil, in tho sec ond Georgic, must beyond all doubt havo roforrod to the cotton plant when ho says : " Shall I sing of tho groves of Ethiopia hoary witli soft wool, and how tho Soros comb out tho dolicate fleece from among tho leaves." Prlnco of tho Latin poets, it was he who was commissioned by the authorities of his country to employ his pon In tho inter est of agriculture, that he might In* spiro new life and enterprise into the work of tho husbandman, as woll as en liven it with tho charms of poetic num bers. Tho silenco of tho writers of tho middlo ages, in regard to cotton fa brics, wnilo describing tho vestmonts thon In common uso, loavos us to infer that the cotton manufacturing indus try was passing through an Interval of temporary suspension, and that wool on, linon and silk constituted tho ma terial from which tho customary cloth ing of tho people was u.ado during that period. But Governor Seabrook says, Noarchus, Alexander's Admiral, de scended tho Indus .'127 years B. C. and observed that "Tho Indians woro gar ments, tho substance whoroof thoy wero mado growing upon trees; and this is indeed flax or rather some thing much whiter and liner thaji flax." And, " it is certain, howovor, that at tho timo of tho Ilogira A. I). (122 cotton cloth was a common material of dross." Cotton in its wild stato, and ospoc li'lly In tropical climates, is said to ho a perennial shrub. Marco Polo, tho confidential agent of the Tartar con queror of China, who visited many countries, "saw cotton growing abun dantly in Mosul, opposite tho anciont Ninovah, In Persia, and at Guzzerat, in which latter place it was producod from a treo six yards high which boro twenty years." As cultivated In tho South, howovcr, it is only an annual plant. For four centuries the herbaceous cotton of India was grown in tho gar dons of China for tho beauty of its flowors, boforo receiving any attentlou for domostlc uses. That great ompiro, with all its knowledge of tho arts, was remarkably slow in developing any progross in tho cultivation of cotton, as a staplo crop ; whilo its peoplo wore tho original manufacturers of silk, papor and sugar; tho first to becomo ac quainted with the properties of tho magnot, and tho composition of gun powder. Nearly a century ago tho hin du of China that had been devoted to the production of cotton were ap propriated to the raising of corn, iu consequonco of the alarming scarcity of provisions, by tho supremo author ity Of tho two kinds of cotton cultiva ted in tbo United States tho green seed or short staple cotton is derived from tho Herbacoum or Horbaceous cotton, and Hirsutum or hairy American cot ton ; tho long staple or black seed cot ton is derived from the Arboroum or tree cotton (liarbadonso.) In 1792 the growth of cotton was lit tlo known in this country. As a com mercial urticle it was deemed to bo of littlo importance. There was a law against tho importation of cotton from America. In 1702 tho entiro crop was 138,328 pounds. In 1842, a half century lator, a wonderful revolution was ac complished in the cotton husbandry of tbo Unltod Stated, the crop then amounting to 785,221,800 pounds?and almost within the period of another half century tho yiold of cotton in tho United States aggregated tho onormou? amount in round numbers of 7,000,000 of bales with an average woight of 450 pounds por bale. Cotton is most successfully cultivated between 30 and 35 dogroos North lati tude I3ut Govornor Soabrook says in his "Memoir of the Cotton Plant": " It is a well authenticated fact that in 1730 as far North as the 30th dogroo cotton on the 1 garden scale ' was raised in tho vicinity of, Euton in tho County of Talbert, on tho' Eastern shore of tho Chesupouko 13uy. About forty yeurs afterwards It was cultivated iu St. Mary's County, Maryland, and in tho Northern county of Capo May In New Jersey, also iu Sussex County, Dola waro." Tho wonderful discoveries and inven tions in this country und England iu tho operations of card spiuning and weaving cotton?the "Water Frame" by Arkwright, tho " Spinning Jenny " by Hargroaves aud tho " Mule Jenny " by Samuel Crompton, together with tho Amorican saw gin by Eli Whitney, gavo birth to tho cotton husbandry of tho Unitod States. "Of tho groat divisions of tho' globe," remarked Mr. Haines, " Europo was tho last to rccoivo tho cotton man ufacture, and England was among tho last to engage in that branch of indus try. So immonso is tho oxtont of tho Hritish cotton manufacture at this time (1835), that tho yarn spun in a year I would in a singlo thread pass arouud I tho globe's circumference 203,77t times; 1 it would roach 51 times from tho earth I to the sun ; and it would encircle tho i earth's orbit 8i times. The wrought j fabrics of cotton exported in ono year would form u girdlo for tho globo, pass ing eleven times round tho equator." Tho distaff and spinning wheel havo havo gonoout of uso, but in their placo have como tho ponderous machines I which perform thoir task as if guided I by thought, and " With wiry teeth rovolving cards Holoaso tho tangled knots and smooth tho raveled tieoco ; Next moves tho iron band with fingers line, Combs tho wide card aud forms the eternal line." Somo ono has said that ho who would know all about cotton must, like Lord Bacon, take all knowledge for his pro vince. The influence of the industry ] upon the welfare of mankind is beyond computation. It affects our habits and opinions?our laws and legislation. It creates a vast commerco with wonders at every stago of its manufacture. It is marvelous to contemplate tho arts. Bolenees and financial power involved in one singlo branch of this industry? tho art of cotton printing. "Thore are tho madder and other vegetable dyos, the brilliant coal dyes, and tho metallic mixtures to make the dyes fast; all tho eleuionts which tho chem ist controls must bo studied in turn? their produce, collection, preparation, blending uso and effects. The de signer searches through all nature for patterns." Tho skill of tho engraver, with his tools and copper cylinders, is brought under tribute. Tho great staple of tho South, will wo ever utilize to their highest development tho vast powers and opportunities involved in this great sou thorn industry '? For many of tho historical facts horo mentioned, tho writer is indebted to the " Memoir of tho Cotton Plant," written by W. H. Seabrook years ago, who was afterwards Governor of South Carolina. DOWN IN THE HAY MEADOWS. . PEN PICTURE OF A FAMOUS PLANTATION. How Hay Is Profitably Raised in South Carolina?An Example Worthy of Imitation, " A visit to tho plantation of Capt. L. U.

"Tho lands of Capt. f.. U. Childs form a part of tho largo plantation cul tivated for generations by tho Hamp tons, and noted for thoir productive ness. By the intelligent management to which they subjected under the old regime tho thousands of acres then under Cultivation, with its hundreds of slaves, contented anil happy in the careful provision mado for thoir health and comforts; its abundant crops of corn and cotton and its stock of the finest cattle antl horses to bo found in tho South ; presented, indocd, an ideal plantation w hose fumo extended over tho wholo land.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.?Latest U.S. Gov't Report Ab&olutecy pure sot tho paco for tho famous racers of tho world of that day, while tho crops of cotton and corn produced rivalled tho bestyiolds on tue famed Missis sippi 1 bottoms.'" After tho war the " Hampton place" Eassed into the hands of tho late Col. i. D. Childs and since his doath has I boon retained by his sons, W. G. and L. D. Childs, who foreoveral years cul tivated it jointly. About six years ago those gontlomen divided thoir interests and? tho lands havo sinco been culti vated separately by them. Capt. Childs has devoted himself to tho defolop mont of his part as a hay and stock farm under the name of "Riversido," und tho present condition of the placo illustrates what can bo dono in farm ing by tho application of intelligence, a llborul expenditures of capital, perse vering onorgy and personal attention. About 350 acres of tho placo is mea dow, lying contiguous to the river and subject to overflow by tho river in its higher stages. This fact would render Its cultivation in cotton and corn haz ardous, but makes the condition most favorablo for hay culture, and to this tho intelligent mind of tho proprietor has devoted it. Tho problems to be solved wero, first, how to arrest the destructive olYeets of the river freshets on the lands itself, which atone point was threatened with complete isolation from the rest of the plantation by the constantly deepening and widening channels which every succeeding i freshet cut across it; and second, how to save the hay after being cut from being swept away or ruined by the suddon overflow of tho meadow. Both these difllculties havo been met, and. after years of persevering labor and outlay, may now be regarded as suc cessfully ovoroomo By planting the quick growing water willow along tho j channels mado by tho current when tho overflow comes a permanent mat* ' tress has boon formed by the growing j trees which arrests the sand brought j by the current and deposits it along : these channels, rapidly tilling them to I tho original level, in many instances ! these deposits having already reached livo feet. Thus the inroads of the river have been effectually checked and its current made to perform tho work I of restoration. Tho other problem, how to savo the has, hay for sovoral seasons boon fully solved also and the crop is now har vested freo from any danger of loss I from freshets to any appreciable de gree Hay making is conducted on tho most scientific processes and methods, some of which, the results of observation and experience, aro peculiar to this plantation. At the proper stage of ; growth, usually when about two feet ! high, the grass is laid down by mow j ors of tho most approved make, and ? after being tendered und raked, is ? ready, in sunny weather, in forty-eight ' to sixty hours to be placed under tho jfheds for curing. Immense sheds have ; been erected in each meadow of capa city sulllcient to receive tho hay cut I on that meadow. Under these sheds j uro racks, in compartments, eonstruct I ed of light framing timber, tho first ! or lower floor, which is of joists only, I being raised about ono foot above the ; highest freshet water mark. The hay, when brought from the field, is lifted j from the wagons by horse power, con I veyed by carriers running on steel 1 ways the whole length of tho shed, I and is dropped in any of the compart ' ments desired. As each is tilled to the ' heigh I of four foot, a flooring of loose ? slats is laid above it, the ends resting <tn tho framing timber at the sides. : Upon lid.; another layer of hay Is do posited and their operation is continu ed until tho compartments are all filled to the* root of the shed. By thois arrangement, as the hay dries and sett les down in layers a free circula tion of air i.; secured through tho en tiro mass under the shed, all surplus moisture is evaporated and the possi bilities of mildew or rot efl'ectually prevented. By these means a hay is produced which preserves its bright color and all the nutritive elements of the glass, and is equal to tho very best mado anywhere today and far su perior to the OVOrripenod grass straw from whi?h all the seed has been threshed, whioh constitutes the staple found in our Southern markets and is sold to consumers under the name of hay. Indeed, this claim is now so well established, that to the extent to which lliis hay oan bo supplied it has taken the place of Northern and Western hay in the local market, and is in growing demand in other portions of the State. Tho moadowsyiold anaverago of three cuttings during the season, some sea sons four being made. The yield per acre, iT mentioned, would be regarded by the Eastern or Western hay maker as incredible. The crop of the River side meadows this season will bo be tween 15,000 and 20,000 bales. The other crops, which at Riverside are merely subsidiary to the hay c op, show tho same results of intelligent cultivation and rich soil. There aro about seventy aei'OS of corn which is a marvel to the beholder. The stalks tower to tho height of twolvo or fifteen feet, with immense hanging ears of matured grain, which will requiro a tall man to reach them and a growth of fodder so luxuriant, that although planted live feet between the rows, it is Impossible to soo beyond a few foot down the rows. It is estimated that the yield will reach fifty bushels to the acre over tho whole Held. A portion of this crop is grown on land from which a crop of oats was taken this season averaging thirty-five bushels per acre. No manure of any kind was used on theso crops. As to the small ora in cotton? twenty-five acres cultivated by tho contract hands, six acres per hand, under the supervisien of the proprio to", is as line a "patch," perhaps, us can be seen this side of the Mississippi to-day. It is five foot between tho rows, tho stalks averaging six feet high lap across and aro falling under the weight of matured bolls, averaging 200 to the stalk. Fifty bales is at present a safe estimate of the production of these twenty-five acres. Riversido has been favored this sea son in having tho management of a thoroughly competent farmer In the person of Mr.13. 10. Bolton, to whom much of tho credit is duo for the splen did condition of Its crops. All the de tails of the farm show the Intelligent care and painstaking which are so es sential to success. All work is syste matically done, the most approved labor-saving machinery is used, labor Is economised and judiciously directed and controlled and everything come:, directly under the daily supervision of Capt. Childs, who gives the same con stant and careful attention to his farm interests that a morchant would to his storo to make It a success. An object of interest to the visitor ol Riversido is tho livo stock. A flock Ol 100 line sheep, as many fat hogs and shouts, a goodly heard of work oxen, cows and calves, all slock and happy, and a flno drovo of horses, mules ami colts, mostly tho product of tho planta tion, reared at a cost only of such at tention and subsistenco, as the r< sources of tho placo easily supplies. A visit to Rivorsido will repay am ono Interested in tho development of our farming Interosts nnd must im press them with tho possibilities which tio within tho reach of any reasonable Investment of money and brains in the i-ich glands along our rivers, so oasy cf development and to accessible to mar ket. Thero aro thousands of acres of this meadow along the Congaroe within a few miles of Columbia, that with the same attention Which has been bo-' stowed ou the Riverside farm may bo mado equally productive as hay and grain farms, und with tho facilities which will bo afforded by the improve ment in tho navigation of tho river, tho example ofJ8v.pt.

A Strange Story from Arkansas? Floods of Water IVoiu a uioimdic^H Sky. Tho town of Walnut Kidgo, Ark., was still exeited last WCok OVOIJ the recent | answer that w?s made to a prayer at a camp meeting near the town. Tho weather was warm aud tho people built an arbor in ugrovo and revival meetings were being held in it. Great interest had boon manifested and this fact had added to tho zeal. As the Uev. Mr. Robinson, a local preacher of strong lungs, was praying ho asked tho Lord to bloss them now with rain, paying: 11 Lord, como down now and pour out a blessing <>f boido nature upon us, one of such a nature as we can remember, one '?hat we can feel certain that it is from you, and como now." Hero tho prayer stopped, not because tho " Amen " wus reached, but because a flash of lightning came down with a roar of ten or moro cannons, shatter ing a huge tree near by, scattering its branches over tho entire audience, knocking some senseless wounding others and frigktnlng all, most of tho audience bolieving that tho end of tho world had como. They had scarcely recovered from tho shock when such a volume of water came down as almost to drown them. This would not seem so peculiar were it not for the fact that upon tho llu,sh of lightning uo oloud was visible and stars ! were shining brightly every whero, but at that moment a small oollln-shaped ! oloud hovered over the audience, and ; from it came tho deluge of water, j It was a remarkable occurrence, aud, whether it came in wrath or as a bloss 1 ing, it broke up tho meeting, and but ! a few of those present can be induced i to go near the ground again. Those j who have examined the ground think that not less than fifteen inches of wa j ter fell, and that in less than five min utes. A NARROW ESCAPE 1 How it Happened.
