Ia THE OLD PLANTATION.
d -
it A New England Reminiscenee or the Good
Old Times.
le [Atlsntle Monthly.]
II Old plantation days are passed away,
perhaps forever. My principles now
lead me to abhor slavery and rejoice at
is its abolition. Yet sometimes, in the
, midst of the heat and toil of the strug
gle for existence, the thought involun
d tarily steals over me that we have seen
better days. I think of the wild rides
after the fox and the deer; of the loll
l. ing, the book the delicious nap on the
e balcony in the summer house, or on
t the rustic seat on the lawn; of the long
e sittings at meals, and the after-dinner
cigar; of the polished groups in the easy
but vivacious conversation in the par
lor; of the chivalric devotion to beautiful
women; of the pleasant evening drives;
of the visits to the plantation, with its
long, broad expanse of waving green,
dotted here and there with groups of In
dustrious slaves; of the long rows of
negro cabins with little picaninnies
playing about them; of the old well
with its beam and of the women with
pails of water on their heads; of the
wild old field a'rs ringing out from the
cabins at night; of the "Chrismas git',
Massa," breaking your slumbers on the
holiday morn; of the gay devices for
fooling the dignified old darkies on the
first of April ; of the faithful old nurse
who brought you through infancy un
der whose humble roof you delighted
to partake of an occasional meal; of the
flattering, foot-scraping, clownish,
knowing rascal to whom you tossed a
silver piece when he brought up your
boots; of the little darkies who scram
bled for the rind after yow had eaten
your watermelon on the pliazza in the
afternoon-and, "as fond recollection
presents them to view," I feel the in
trusive swelling of the tear of regret.
And so it is with every Southerner;
tears rise in his heart and gather to his
eyes as he thinks of.the days that are no
more. The Southerners of old used to
be perhaps the happiest of men. There I
was nothing to disturb them, nothing to
do, nothing they wished done that i
others was not at hand to do. Happi
ness were not only their being's end and
aim, but its enjoyment their one occu
pation. Now the cares of life, the
struggle for a living, weigh them down.
A PERILOUs TRIP.
The Hair-Lifting Ride of Two Nevada
Miners in a Mining Flame.
A correspondent sends an account of '
the perilous journey down the moun
tains of two Nevada miners, who made
the trip in a mining flume. The flume A
is owned by Messrs. Mackey & Fair, and
is located in the mountains near Carson
City. It is about fifteen miles in length, 6
leading from a lofty elevation down to
the plain and crossing in its course
deep ravines, skirting terrible preci
pices and chasms, and presenting many c
sharp curves. It is fed with water from a
Lake Tahoe, and empties into a creek
near Carson City. This flume, said to 0
be the longest in the world, is used to
carry down timber which is cut on the
mountains. There are several places in
its course where the incline is slight, s
and visitors are occasionally treated
to a short trip over these inclines in a
boat constructed for that purpose. The
two men who took the trip were work
men, who some months ago conceived
the notion of shooting down the entire
length of the flume. To carry out this
foolhardy adventure they constructed a
strong boat, sharp at the bow and
square at the stern, and fitting the flume
closely enough to keep it steady. The $1
men describe the trip as something ter
rific. The heavy boat got a fearful
headway, and the men had no means of
stopping it. In shooting round the si
curves they thought it would jump the
flume and precipitate them into the I
chasm that yawned beneath. Down the
steeper inclines the boat sped with more
than express train velocity. The fifteen
miles were passed in less than eleven .I
minutes! From the foot of the moun
tain to where the flume empties, the in
cline is gentle, and here the boat grad- is
ually lost its terrific headway, and at 1i
length glided smoothly into the creek.
Unharmed, but scared almost out of
their senses, the men stepped ashore,
and one of them was heard to remark
that he would not make that trip again
for all the silver and gold in Nevada.

The Advhtage of Pine Forests to a
Country. l
Some interes. lng observations have b
lately been made by M. Fautral on the a
influence of pine forests on thequantity o
of rain received by a country, the hy
grometric state of the air and the state ri
or the ground. It is proved that pines
have the property of condensing vapor, f
and that in a much higher degree than t
leafy woods. Thus the quantity of rain gi
which fell over a pine forest during tc
fourteen months was 840.70 mm., as ?
against 757.75 mm. on the open ground "
300 metres off, showing a difference in a
favor of the forest of more than 10
per cent of the latter quantity. s
(In the case of oaks and witch- H
elms the difference was only 5 s
per cent.) The mean saturation of the oi
air above the forest was ten-hundredths d'
more than at any other station, (sixty
three against fifty-three.) The quantity 2
of rain received by the forest ground fo
was 471 mm., while 369 mm. was inter- si
cepted by the trees-i. e. 0.43 of the aj
water precipitated. Though the open oX
(sandy) ground received 757 mm., there
is reason to believe that the forest
ground really conserves more water.
These data show what services may be 11
rendered Ly pine forests on burning, ii
sandy or chalky plains, which the want
of water renders unproductive. Such
forests, too, are a powerful remedy
against inundation.
A Bensine Aceldent.
There was a curious accident at Phila
delphison Sunday. A Mr. Shoemaker,
about to leave the city for the summer,
got a water-pot full of benzine with
which to dampen the carpets and furni
tare and preserve them from moths. In
less than an hour the gas generated by
the benzine exploded with a fearful con
cussion and the room burst into flames.
The servant girl was fatally injured
her clothes being burned away and
body baked to a crisp, and Mrs. Shoe
maker was very dangerously hurt. An'
examination of the parlor after the fire
had been extinguished showed some
thing of the force of the explosion and
the intense heat of the flames. The
window shutters were blown open, glass
smashed into atoms, walls cracked and
the register knocked to pieces. The
heat was so great that a small bronze
figure was actually melted by it.
- **-~~--
A True Doe Story.
This is vouched for by the IBoston
Traveller as being as true as most of
the dog stories: A mastiff in that city,
unmuzzled by his master, resolved to
comply with the law on his own ac
count. He knew that to preserve his
life he must have a muzzle. Early one
morning he stole twenty newspapers
from doorsteps, stood on a corner and
sold them, went with the money to a
store where muzzles were sold, made a
clerk understand that he wished to buy
one and before noon went home muz
zled according to law.

The market opened inanimate and continued
quiet throughout the day. There was, however,
a moderate in9uiry. but to a great extent from
buyers who c'aimed concessions, which factors
would rot grant, the latter being sustained in
their pretensions by the steady shrinkage in the
stock the amount on the landing, according to
the xcohange acoouni embracing only 65,987
bales, a considerable part of which is not on
sale, and will probably be held for further devel
opments.
Nothing transpired to indicate any quotable va
riation in prices, in which there was about the
nsual irregularity, some few transactions being in
favor of buyers, but the bulk of the businees was
fully up to previous rates. Stained cottons and
the lower grades have been for some time in
good request and moderate supply, and now lean
to our outside quotations. Although the market
sxhibits this comparatively firm appearance, yet
in the face of the moderate demandsales of any
magnitude could hardly be pressed unless at
some concessions. '1he dispatches reported
Liverpool easier but not quctably lower, with
sales of 10,000 bales and arrivals 1.16d lower;
