E
Quitman Reporter: “If no evil befalls the

many years. The weather so far has been pro
pitious. With this prospect of a large yield of
corn before them, the fanners are fast recover
ing from the discourageinen* they had fallen
into un account of the oat crop being so short
Cotton is also looking very promising. The
weed already averages from six to twelve
inches ip height, and full of large, healthy

fur u Q ne c -otton crop is indeed flattering. Su

Brunswick Seaport Appeal: “There are forty

entitled to an average of 15,000 feet a day for

when there is no lumber. A mpply of 600,000
feet a day is required to avoid demurrage. The
two railroads are bringing iu about 4-O.UUO feet
per day- leaving a deficiency of 200,0-m feet.
Thus it wi'l be seen that charterers are likelv to
engulf some of their i roflts in demurrage. They
are exerting almost superhuman efforts to get
the lumber here, and it is to be hoped their
losses will be light.”
Says the Augusta heirs: “The Columbus
Times (Eiujuirtr?) puts the Seres down on its

with the Commission, or the law creating it.
We believe that the law- is too comprehensive
in its scope: that it should have been confined
to the sole purpose of correcting extortions
and discriminations, and should L-ot have given
the Commission such ateolutc and unlimited
power over the railroads; and we think that
the Commi-sion has erred in that the tariff it
has promulgated Is too low to admit of the
roads running with a reasonable profit. In this
we object to the law and its execution by the
Commission. We heartily favor a law and a
Commission for the purpose of correcting dis
criminations and extortionate charges."
The Talbotton Standard gays: “The Talbot-
ton Branch Road is progressing finely. The
chain gang force is at work about a mile from
town. Messrs. Redd X Johnston, the contract
ors, have begun work, and we know of no
cause to prevent the work from steadily pro
gressing till completed. We suppose those who
thought the present effort to build the road
woutd terminate like several prior ones, are
l now assured of its success. Next fall our town
will show much material improvement. Our
county willlie materially benefited by ah'ire
market. Surely we are on the road to pros

LETTER FROM COYLE DOUGLAS
The May ITIuaical Festival in Cincin
nati a threat Success—-Immense Au
diences—Six Hundred and Thirty
Nine Voices and One Hundred aud
Fifty-Six Instruments—Campanini
and Cary.
Special Correspondence of the Morning Xetes
Cincinnati, May 84 —The last note of music
has spent itself into silence, the crowd of
strangers is dispersed, the gay buntings are
stripped from window and balcony, and the
great May musical festival is a beautiful thing
of the past. And beautiful it must remain to
all those who saw and heard, for no soul was
so impassive as to fail to bd stirred by the
grand harmonies, the wonderful voices of
Campanini and Cary, the magnificent chorus
and orchestra ov r r which Theodore Thomas
waved his baton. Think of six hundred and
thirty-nine vo ces and one hundred and flfty-
s-x instruments responding to the movements
of the great enchanter s wand, and breaking
into glorious burets of song, like the multitudi
nous wave* of the sea, in one roll cf thunder
against the shore! Thomas has had this mass
of material la training for a year, and has led
them on to a success that at times seemed
astonishing to himself, and frequently at some
fine climax of melody the impressario would
lay down his b\ton and join heartily with the
applauding spectators.
3 he audience that assembled in Music Hall
the first night must have nuinl>ered seven or
eight thousand The mo«t of the Cincin
nati ladies have adopted full evening
toilettes for these festival concerts, ana
consequently the scene presented
the hail the opening night was
surpassingly brilliant. The first number on
the programme was Bach’s “Stronghold Sure."
followed by a duet between Miss Annie Norton
and Mr. Whitney. This was succeeded by more
classical numbers until a duet by Campanini
and Annie Ioui.-e Cary electrified the audience.
The remainder of the programme was largely-
taken up wilh chorus work and the soloists had
no showing. Still for a first concert it passed
off finely.
The first, afternoon performance brought out
an enthusiastic crowd
The earlier part of this programme was de
voted to instrumentation, beginning with an
overture of Beethoven’s “Leonore No. 3,” ren
dered in masterly style. Then followed a glorious
theme of Haydn’s, embroidered with many va
riations, and then came that rythmic, gob'in
thing, th • “Scherzo," from Midsummer Night's
Dream. St Saen’s symphony, “Phaeton," a
polka from Strauss aud Wagner's Centennial
inauguration Match, finished the strict’y or
chestral music. Tlq* vocal numbers consisted
of an aria of Handel’s, sung by Mr. -Harvey,
Miss Sherwin's romauza “O Seiva Opaca,” a
florid little song of Men ielsschn's by Rudolph-
son, and then came the gem of tne programme,
“Celestial Aida. ' which Campaninai gave de
light fully, and which was rapturously received.
The second evening concert was taken up
with Beethoven's solemn and difficult mass.
“Missa Solennis," so rarely performed and so
little known as to create a high state of expec
tation. Here the chorus work is elaborate and
the whole is grandly done. The concert was
compleetd with Schumann's symphony in D
miror.
' The Gulden Legend." compost’d by Dudley
Buck, of the choir of Holy Trinity Church,
Brooklyn, waa the great success of the festival.
At the last May festival a pr ze of $!,0 ■<) was
offered for the best composition introducing
both chorus and orchestra, and Buck's produc
tion won it. The scenes are taken from Long
fellow's poem, and are arranged in four
teen parts. The m*slc is all modern and the
effect of the change from the severely
classical upon the audience that had been rapt
■in ihe clouds of high art, was apparent in the
gush of enthusiasm with which it was received.
It was a perfect success from beginning to
end, and at its close the composer was loudly
called for. Mr. Buck stepped upon the plat
form, and received the congratulations of
Thomas and the singers in full view of tlie
audience, which cbe*red lustily all the while.
This third evenirg concert wound up with
Wagner’s “Twifight of the Gods,*’ Cainpauini
having the part of Sigfried.
On the last day the weather was unpropi-
tious, but the throng was dense. The mati
nee performance gave a varied bill of fare.
The concert opened with an overture and a
scene and aria from Gluck's “Iphigenia in
Aulis,” the latter sung by Mr. Rudolph^on. An
air from Bach for ihe orchestra followed, and
the* Miss Cary came wpon the stage amid n
tempest of cheering. She gave a recitative
and aria from Handel. Then a stately wed
ding march of Goldmark's, followed by a bril
liant overture from Mozart, and then came
Campanini in the “Slumber Song' from M*sa-
niello. It was in this he was heard to the l>est
advantage during the festival. When he ban
dropped the last sweet note the very founda
tions trembled with the thundering plaudit*.
He wa^ recalled four times. After this
Beethoven’s “Ruins of Athens,” the Turkish
March, was given. Miss Sherwln sang “Vane,
Vane," from Meyerbeer, and the orchestra
edged in with a “Valse Caprice " of Rulien-
stein's. With Mr. Whitney’s cobbler song the
last matinee performance concluded.
At night Beethoven’s symphony No. 5, C
minor, was given, the “Missa bolennis” was re
peated, and the great Festival of 1880 ended
with the music of Handel's “Ladok, the Priest."
It was worth many sacrifices to come to
this song feast, if only to hear Campanini
pour forth tbat smooth, liquid voice,
throbbing with passion and tenderness
one moment, so serenely, deliciously
sweet the next. In appearance the great tenor
gives no tokeu of possessing any great gift
He has an immense head and shoulders and
small, short legs. He wears a very' short coat,
disdains a vest, and wears his shirt pulled
loose, blouse-fashion. He walks with the fun
niest little trot imaginable, and getsawav with
the most miraculous quant ties of beer. When
quite a lad he was a soldier under Garibaldi.
When the armies disbanded he went to the
forge, and only discovered his magnificent
voice when joining in the rollicking drinking
songs of some wandering troubadours in an
Italian tavern.
There were no such joyous demonstrations
of welcome given to any singer as those shown
to Cary, the bright, the beautiful—Cary, with
the Nee of a Muse and the voice of an angel.
To what can we liken her? A rose dowered
with a soul - a lily with a silver song ever rising
upward from the drop of crystal in its heart.
The gleeful greeting which she receives when
ever sin-comes upon the stage testifies that
she ha* her throne in the hearts of the people
Campanini alone or Cary alone seems delight
enough, hut the blended perfection of such a
tenor and such a contralto is lieivenlv.
The other singers all come in for their large
share of praise for well-doing. Mr. Myron
Whitney is the basso, heavy oratorio singing
being his specialty. Mr. Kudolphson is a bari
tone, and was formerly a violinist under Wag
ner. Mr. Fred. Harvey, a tenor, is a member
< f Dudley Buck s church choir in Brooklyn.
Misses Horton, Cranch and Sherwin are local
singers. Miss Horton t>eing considered the
finest voice in circles of muscal talent iu Cin
cinnati.
There was a marked predominance of sacred
music throughout the festival—grand,
massive oratorios and difficult masse*
aud brave anthems. Perhaps it is a fa
vorable sign of the culture or a people that
these things could be so deeply appreciated
Nevertheless when the chorus or instruments
took up a theme, clo hed in modem ideas, and
handled it with such masU rly skill, there was
an evident relaxation., a lifting of the shadow,
tbat betokened that the popular interpretation
of high art in music does not always mean the
grand and gloomy.
In 1883 we look to another meeting, and we
leave the fair city idealized and poetized by the
memories of many Satngerfests. lifting her
sun-crowned head above the hills, while the
Ohio's waters wash her beautiful feet.

A story of miraculous cure comes from
Norwich, Conn. The story goes that
Mary Ellen McNamara, a girl of twelve
years, had epileptic fits, and had not
walked a step for five years. The tits
had completely paralyzed her legs, which
had not only not grown any since her
attack, but had shrunk to pretty nearly
the size aud appearance of pipe stems.
She had almost unremitting spasms,
which finally left her in a cataleptic state,
and she was as near a corneas is allowed
to remain above ground. Her father
wrote to his Irish cousii s, who reside
near the chapel of Knock, on the walls
of which luminous appearances of the
virgin and some saints were recently re
ported, and asked them to send him a
chunk of the chapel that he might try
its wondrous healing power on his bed
ridden daughter. Accoidingly McNa
mara received a small piece of the ce
ment of Knock chapel, which, on being
applied to the back of the girl s neck,
knocked the fits. At first it gave her iu-
tense pain, but in a few hours all the
pain went away, and the girl got up and
walked, to the” great astonishment and
delight of herself and friends. She was
at first rather shaky on her “pins,” or
pipe-stems, but walked to a circus
without aid, and promises soon to be
able to enter a “go-as-you-please” walk
ing match. Her friends say that her
walking is a miracle.

GOV. COLQUITT'S SPEECH.
a calm appeal to the better
SENSE OF THE PEOPLE.
A Large Crowd—Explauatlon of .If o-
tlves— Indignant Deulal of Bargain
and Male — Why Ex-Gov. Brown
wa« Appointed Reaction In Pub
lic Sentiment.
Special Telegram to the Morning Sews
Atlanta, May 28.—A large crowd of citi
zens gathered in the Opera House to night
to hear Governor Colquitt’s address. The
speech was an explanation of the motives
that prompted the Governor in appointing
ex Governor Brown to succeed General
Gordon rather than a reply to senseless
charges, of bargain and sale, that
have been 60 freely uttered, but he
alluded to these charges more than once In
a style that drew forth enthusiastic applause
from his hearers. As a whole the address
was a defense of his administration. The
Governor compared the social, commercial
and financial condition of Georgia with that
of other States in the Union, and asked any
one to point out wherein his administration
had tended to the discredit of the State.
In regard to the appointment of ex-Goy.
Brown, he said he had appointed him be
cause of his known ability. “Is there a per
son in this audience,” said the Governor,
“who does not kuow that if a necessity for
defending the interests of Georgia should
arise In the national councils, Senator
Brown would be abundantly able to de
fend her. No person here but knows
he would be eagerly anxious to defend her
[Applause.] He has been a Democrat for
twelve years and has voted for the nominee*
of the party, from the highest to the lowest;
and if this does not entitle him to Demo
cratic fellowship what does?”
Governor Colquitt repudiated, with in-
diguant scorn, the charges of corruption
made against General Gordon and himself
in regard to this appointment. The speech
seemed to produce a very favorable impres
sion upon the large audience, and the Gov
ernor was frequently interrupted by hearty
applause.
It Is Impossible at this late hour to send
an intelligible synopsis, but it may be said
that the address was a cool, calm appeal to
the people, unimpassioned save when a de
fense of bis own character against current
slanders seemed to set his words aflame with
honest indignation.
A reaction in public sentiment, which
sprang more from regret and surprise at
Gordon’s resignation than from any belief
in a bargain and sale, is already setting in
here.

Charleston, May 28.—The Presbyterian
General Assembly voted a substitute on the
matter of church deliverances, declaring
that nothing is law to be enforced by judi

Courts differ from them In these deliverauct s
In that the former determine, and where
proceedings from the highest court con
clude a particular case, but both are alike
Interpretations of the Word by the church

EXECUTIVE SESSION.
The greater part of the 8enate executive
session to-dav was devoted to the pendiog
nomination of ex Congreasm&n Horace May
nard, of Tennessee, a9 Postmaster General.
Senators Beck and Yoorhees opposed the
confirmation on account of Mr. Maynard’s
extreme partisan course during re
construction times in Tennessee. Senator
Bailey, of that State, spoke in favor
of the confirmation, taking the ground
that in view of Mr. Maynard’s unquestioned
private integrity and ability, hi* extreme
partisanship during the exceptional period
referred to should be overlooked in the in
terests of peace and reconciliation. Pend
ing further discussion, the Senate adjourned.
The probabilities are that Mr. Maynard’s
nomination will be confirmed at the next
executive session.

Washington Post.
The Grant managers are beginning to
cast their eyes on all that is valuable of
the Sherman movement—its Southern
delegates. Matters are so shaping them
selves that the votes of these men arc
quite likely to be needed.
Cameron claims a square majority for
Grant on the first ballot, and very pos
sibly his estimate is correct. But the
margin, if there should prove to be any
at ail, is certain to be small. What
Grant needs is forty or fifty more dele
gates, and his henchmen purpose, if pos
sible, to obtain them. The South is the
only place in which to prosecute a search.
It is, of course, understood that all the
Southern delegate votes that Grant gets
away from Sherman—who has all that
he has not—will be bought and paid for
at an equitable rate to be stipulated and
agreed upon. Sherman bought the dele
gates in the first instance, and Grant will
have to do the same in the second, at an
increased valuation.
In the event that Sherman, naturally
anxious to hold on to his delegates,
should decline to be “raised,” what a
perfectly edifyiog struggle would ensue!
Still, in a contest between Grant and
Sherman on a poker point,would not the
advantage be with Grant ?
In virtue of a recently promulgated
police ordinance, every Russian State
employe finds himself called upon to
produce a duly attested certificate
proving that he has, at least once within
the last twelve month, partaken of the
holy communion and confessed his sins
to an ordained priest. This has elicited
a characteristic counter move from the
Nihilists, in the shape of a threat, pub
lished in their organs, to burn dow n all
the monasteries in Russia. On the 11th
ultimo, Arseny, the Russian Metropoli
tan. received a summons from the Re
volutionary “Executive Committee” to
contribute fifty thousand roubles to the
“good cause,” failing compliance with
which demand, bis monastery would lie
promptly burnt over his head. Accord
ing to recent advices from the Russim
capital, the venerable Metropolitan, fear
ing tha’ the commit ee would find means
to put its menace into execution, and en
tertaining but small confidence in the
power of the secular authorities to pro
tect him and his monks from Nihilistic
incendiarism, paid the money, under a
dreadful oath of secresy, to a confidential
agent of the revolutionary organization.
Not so Sharp as Beecher and
Kalloch.—The Rev. William J.
Bridells was pastor of a Presby
terian Church at Marietta, Pa., for
eight years, and during all ofthat time
he made periodical visits to
Philadelphia, where, with boon com
pan ions, he indulged in the pleasures of
drunkenness. These indulgences were
finally suspected by members of his
church, and he resigned, but there were
no formal proceedings against him, and
he immediately became pastor of the
Lehigh Avenue Presbyterian Church,
Philadelphia. His wife kept his secret
until her jealousy was aroused by his
obvious love for a pretty widow. Then
she not only exposed him to the church
officials, but took every bit of furniture
ou» of the house—all being her property
—leaving him lying ill ou a bare floor.
Uis Presbytery has expelled him, and he
has been sued for the board of the w idow,
with whom he has lived since his dis
grace.

Slxtfoce Vote* Already Secured for

“How goes on the Bruce campaign?”
asked a Post reporter yesterday of Hon.
J. Milton Turner, the author, manager,
and probably the finisher of the Bruce
boom.
“Splendidly. Better thau the most
sanguine of us anticipated.” replied the
distinguished black Republican. “We
shall have at least sixty-one votes to start
with, and I know of nobody who >tands
better than that.”
“But have you any really strong white
delegates to advocate his cause?”
“Yes, several from New England,
where names I do not care to mention.”
“Why so muen secrecy?”
“Well, we have learned by experience
that we must be subtle in all our move
ments. If I should make public the
names of the men who will help us, the
wiseacres and faint hearts of the party
would at once set at work all possible
influences to induce them to desist.”
“So that your friends in the Repub
lican party have to adhere to the under
ground railroad system of locomotion as
in the old slave days?”
“Y'es. The steadfast, true and brave
friends of the negro, of the Garrison,
Brown and Phillips tvpe, are few. They
want our votes, but not our association.
They want us to continue and play the
bone which they and the Democratic
party are to fight over. ”
“Why did you make your manifesto
for Blaiue and” Bruce? "Won t that drive
away all tbe Grant and Sherman assist
ance?”
“No. There are many of us who
would prefer Grant and Bruce. Fred
Douglass is for Grant. 1 prefer Sherman
if I have any preference. Senator Bruce,
however, does not side with either and
would be glad to be associated on the
ticket with any one of the four gentle
men who have been prominently men
tioned.’’
“Do you think the nomination of
Bruce would solidify the negro vote?”
“I do.”
“And will not his defeat have a con
trary effect?”
“To be sure. Still, what should we
do? Must we never support one of our
own race, because his probable rejection
by our white allies will injure the party
with which we are identified? We can
not always be hewers of wood and ser
vants in an organization whose chief
boast it is that we are all equals. ”
“Shall you go to Chicago?”
“Y’es, I shall leave here on Friday?”
“And Bruce is a sure enough candi
date?”
“Without doubt. The man is already
selected to present his name and is pre
paring his speech.”
‘ He is not entered then to be bought
off?”
“Never. Whatever others may do
that charge will be false when applied to
Senator Bruce s sincere friends. We do
not w ant to make either money or capi
tal out of him. We want him nomi
nated. ”

The Philadelphia Press considers it a
duty once in a while to insult the com
mon sense of its readers:
The United States C -orts for the district of
Iowa are oblige* i to follow in the steps of those
for the Eastern district of New York, and cloae
their doors, dismiss their suitors, witnesses and
j iries, and allow prisoners to go on light bail,
all becau.se the country is cursed with a Demo
cratic Con^res*. In pursuance of their scheme
to capture the next Presidency, by fair means
or foul, tbe Democrats are det- minted to bre-dc
down or render Ineffective the Federal election
laws. Not being able to induce tlie Republican
President to sanction their c mspiracy and co
operate with them in carrying it out.they refuse
to execute the trust which the Constitution
imposes upon them of appropriating the neces
sary funds for carrying on the government."
The Democratic Congress passed an
appropriation bill amply providing for
the needs of the United States courts in
Eastern New York, Iowa and every
where else.
The fraudulent President, acting un
der pressure from the active leaders of
the Republican party, vetoed the bill, re
jecting the supplies which the Demo
cratic Congress provided.
He vetoed the bill because, while pro
viding all the money needed to run the
courts of justice, and providing for def.u
ty marshals, it provided that these depu
ty marshals should be respectable men,
chosen not from the Republican party
alone, but from both parties equally.
That is the whole story.
The courts are not shut by Congress.
They are shut by Hayes.
A striking illustration of the ameni
ties current in Russian military society
is afforded by a report, published in the
Golos, of an incident that recently oc
curred at a ball given in Kutais, to which
the junior offlccis of the garrison were
invited. One Prince Mikeladsc, an en
sign of Caucasian militia, behaved in the
course of the evening so indecorously to
several young ladies that Lieutenant
Fomin, of the l chernomona Infantry, the
senior officer present, was compelled to
reprimand him publicly for his disgrace
ful conduct. Enraged by the reproof to
which he had thus been subjected, the
Prince drew a dagger and attacked Fo
min with fury, stabbing him repeatedly
in the face, neck and hands. Great vio
leace had to be employed to get the as
sailant away from his victim, whose
wounds proved so numerous and of so
severe a character that the array surgeons
who examined them pronounced his con
dition to be hopeless. Being a man in
the prime of life, and endowed with ex
traordinary physical vigor, he was still
alive three days after his conveyance to
the hospital, but was not then expected
to recover. In no European army but
Russia's could such a scandal as this
arise.

amounts to about $125,000. This fund,
which now passes into the hands of the
society, had its birth in a patriotic burst
occasioned by the visit of Lafayette to
that city in 1825; but the enthusiasm in
a short time died out, and the project
bas been permitted to slumber. About
a year ago a co nmittee of the Society of
Cincinnati, which had a fund establish
ed by the society in 1819, decided that
they were in a position to call for de
signs and estimates from tbe leading
sculptors of the world, and it is under
stood that they have accepted a design a
colossal equestrian figure, by Prof. Sie-
merling, of Berlin. The monument will
be erected in Fairmount Park, a site at
George’s Hill having been chosen.
From an article written by George
Ticknor Curtis and published in the
North American Renew, “it is clear,”
says the World, “that President Lincoln
saved his party by his course toward
General McClellan. Had General Mc
Clellan been reinforced, as he deserved
to be, and as military critics agree that
he ought to have been, at Harrison’s Bar,
the war would in all human probability
have been brought to an end two years
earlier than it actually was, and nothing
could have prevented the election of the
victorious young General on a Conserva
tive Union platform to the Presidency.”
The weariness of life which Prince
Bismarck manifested in his speech in the
Reichstag the other day was noticeable
also in his whole demeanor, which in its
lassitude was a marked contrast to his
activity in past days. The Chancellor’s
nervous irritability is said to exceed al
bounds.
HORSFORD’9 ACID PHOSPHATE
In Nervoo* Disease*.

systems. Chas. Woodhouse, M.D.,

Some Strange Avocations.
Front Chambers' Journal.
Said a witness under cross examina
tion: “I am an Early caller, I calls dif
ferent tradesmen at early hours, from 1
till 5:30 in the morning, and that is how
1 get my living. I gets up between 13
and 1; I goes to bed at 6 and sleeps till
the afternoon. I calls bakers between 1
and 2—tbe bakers are the earliest of all. ”
What sort of a living he made is not re
corded. A pound a week, we should
say. would be the outside figure, and to
earn that he would need a couple of
scores of customers. The early caller’s
fee is well earned, since but for his inter
vention his clients would often lose a
day's pay, if not be thrown out of work
altogether, by failing to keep time. Not
so deserving of encouragement are the
“tup-pennies.” carrying on their vocation
in those quarters of London where pawn
brokers and poor people abound. The}*
are feminine intermediaries between the
pawnbroker and folks anxious to raise a
loan upon their belongings, who, rather
than transact such buisness for them
selves, are willing to pay twopence for
every parcel conveyed to everybody's
“uncle” or redeemed from his clutches.
These go-betweens, it is averred, also
receive a quarterly commission from the
tradesmen they favor with their patron
age; and so, one way aud another, con
trive to make a comfortable living out
of their neighbors’ necessities.
There are men in Paris, birds of a
feather with the chiffonier, who go from
hospital to hospital collecting the lin
seed plasters that have served the turn
of doctor and patient; afterward pres
sing the oil from the linseed and dis-
peteing of the linen, after bleaching it, to
the papermaker. Others make a couple
of francs a day by collecting old corks,
which being cleaned and pared, fetch, it
is said, half a franc per hundred.
A lady-resident of the Faubourg St.
Germain is credited with earning a good
income by hatching red, black and
brown ants for pheastnt preservers. One
Parisian gets his living by breeding mag
gots out of the foul meats he buys of the
chiffoniers, and fattening them up in tin
boxes. Another breeds maggots for the
special behoof of nightingales; and a
third marc hand d’astirot* boasts of sell
ing between thirty and forty millions of
worms every season for piscatorial pur
poses. He owns a great pit at Mont
mart re, wherein he keeps his store.
Every day his scouts bring him fresh
stock, for which he pays them from 5 to
10 pence per pound, according to quality;
reselling them to anglers at just double
those rates, and clearing thereby some
thing over £300 a year.
This curious avocation is not unknown
in England. Some twelve years ago, wc
are told, Mr. Wells, a fishing tackle
maker of Nottingham, in order to in
sure a constant supply of bait for his
customers, started a farm for the rearing
of lobworms, cockspurs, ring tailed
brandlings, and other worms in demand
among the disciples of Walton, who
nlxmnd in the old lace town.
To keep his farm stocked, men and boys
go out at night collecting worms in the
meadows and pastures; a moist warm
night yielding from two to six thousand
worms. As scon as they are brought in,
they are placed in properly selected moss,
field-moss for choice, to scour until
they become little more than skin—
freshly caught worms being too tender
for the anglers to liand'e; while “when a
worm is pioperly educated, he is as
tough as a bit of india rubber, and be
haves as a worm should do when put up
on the hook.” When this condition is at
tained, the wonns are packed in mots
and put up iu light canvas bags for the
market. This worm merchant docs not
entirely depend upon the industry of
his collectors, but breeds large quanti
ties himself in his own garden—the com
ponent parts of his breeding heap being
a secret he not unnaturally keeps to
himself.
