FATAL SHOOTING OF A DBAKBMAN IN A PASSENGER OAR. NashviUo American,] Mohoh Howard, oolored, shot and killed Henry Ready, brukeman on the Louis ville *fc Memphis Road, just after the pas senger train left Paris at 1L o’clock Tues day night. As soon as the shooting was done, Howard jumped from the train, but was subsequently arrested and lodged in Paris jail. No one was in the coach at tbe lime of the shootiug save a newsboy, who was asleep, aud auother negro who got on with Howard. The boy heard them fussing aud got up off the Beat upon whioh he had just been laying just as the negro shot and ran. Howard went out ou the platform of the ooaob, uud on ooming back slammed the door very bard. Ready told him not to do that agaiu, as it would break the gluss iu the door. From that the difficulty originated. Ready had been employed on the Memphis division of the Louisville and Nashville and Great Southern Railroad for seven years, and wua considered a good brakeman, and was a single man twenty-one years of age. His purents arc both dead. He was a Memphis iubu. Howard will undergo a preliminary ex amination this morning. Col. Cole, of Pans, has been engaged to proseoute him. Still another version is given of this railroad tragedy. From a gentleman who got his ucoount from ono of the jury men who viewed Ready's body, an Amer ican reporter obtained the following as having been the testimony of the news boy before the jury« The boy staled that just after leaving Paris Tuesday night, quite a volume of smoke was blowing into the oar through the open door. Howard got up and was about to shut it, when a sudden motion of the tr»»in caused the door to slam too very hard. For this Ready roundly cursed and abused him, going so far as to oall the negro b liar. Howard told him he did not want to have a difficulty with him. This remark called forth more abuse, snd, saying he would fix him, Ready went over to the newsboy and asked him if he had a knife. The boy told him he had only a penknife. When Ready returned toward Howard he had his hand ratbor behind him, apparently in a threatening attitude. As soon as he got within a few feet of Howard, the lat ter threw down his pistol And fired, the ball passing through Ready’s left lung, al most instantly killing him.

Matthews of West Virginia, were serenaded to-night by the First Virginia Regiment, Colonel Bradloy T. Johnston iu command. Colonel Johuston in a short and eloquent address, spoke for the oitizeu soldiers. Gov. MatthewB in response, introduced Gov. Hampton. He informed the South Carolina Governor that this was an assemblage of Republi cans aud Democrats. Iu some of tbe companies before him were ineu who wore the blue, and others who woro the gray. They join in this demonstration of respeot for the man of the Palmetto State who is preeminently the representative of the spirit of reconciliation and peace. Governor Hampton received uu enthu siastic greeting. After expressing his thanks for the compliment, he touohed upon the strugglo in South Caroliua. “Now, thank God ! she is no longer the prostrate State, bnt the Palmetto State of old !" It wat his pride that the victory was won without appealing to foroe. It waB the result of the harmonious union of black and white. Governor Mutthows has told us that in the regiment before ns are men who wore the gray and others who wore the blue. I am glad to see them. [Cheers.] I was not always glad to see the blue ; but I used to give them as warm a welcome ah I oonld. I am glut! to see this spirit of fraternity. I am glud to see them here, shoulder to shoulder, under oue flig and one Constitution. [Cheers] “The conservative feeliug of the South finds tit illustration in the uniou of the brave boys of the North amt South. I am rejoiced to koow that while riot aud bloodshed had roged at the North, the South had remained peaceful aud law abidiug, looking not only to the preserva tion of order in her Mates, but expresaiug in an numistakable mauuer In r solicitude for the safety of her national oapital, and her desire to be of Bervioe to the natiou&l Government. [Applause.] Thousands of men in South Curoliua indicated to me their willingness to go North and render the President any aid iti their power. They would have been glad to have gone, and stood shoulder to shouldor with the men they onoe fought—this time to pro tect a common oouutry. “Let the people of the North remem ber this: We recognize that the Uuion is restored; wo recognize the Constitution of the United States; aud whou I say that, I mean the Constitution with all its amendments. [Applause.] We have surrendered in good faith. The Southern States now ask for equal laws. Let Maine be put on a par with South Caroliua. Re gard Louisiana as you do Massachusetts, and you will find no men in tho Union who will stand by the Constitution of tbo United States more loyally than tho meu of the South. [Great cheeriug. ] “Soldiers aud citizens of tho North, will yon forget the shout of viotory while we extend the baud of fraternity? We ptopose to uphold the laws in every Southern State. We do not want a strong standing army. [Cheers.] Wo want standing army in time of peaoe. Wo oan commit our interests to our citizen sol diery. We want union and peace and fraternity. As States, let us be as distinct as the billows; as a couutry, let ns bo one as the sea—all people striving alike for the happiness and prosperity of the whole American Republic.” [Cheers.] Wade Hampton spoke the sentiment of the South. His sentiments were ap plauded by every listener. Congressman Goode followed in a happy addreHH. Later tbe Governors held an informal re ception in tbe parlor, hundreds of lodios participating. A FARM OF SIXTY THOUSAND ACRES, WITH STOCK VALUED AT $75,000. Nueoes Times.] Mr. Shaffer pre-empted 160 acres of land in this oouutry in 18G1, and estab lished a sheep rauohe. The war followed. He made no appreciable progress in his condition until 1865, when bis fortuue took a turn. At this time (18G5) he owued 3,000 head of sheep, all improved. I he original stock of 2,000 hosd he pur chased from A. Toutaut Beauregard, brother of tho General. Four years after that he purchased 1,500 ewes of the cele brated George Wilkins Kendal flock, hav ing, in all, 8000 head of ewos and bucks, ousting him $50 a head. Mr. Shaff'^r's income for the year 187G may bn summed upas follows: Ewes sold, 2,275, at. $(>,. 7 tG; bucks and weathers sold, $3,859; wool sold 82,000 pounds, $10,000; income for 187G, $28,575. To maintain his establishment nnd ntn tend to sheep requires an outlay of near ly $700 per month. From twenty five to thirty men are constantly employed. The floeks of sheep are divided into 1,200 to each flock, under tho oare of a ‘pastoro,’ and over every throe pastores is a *bnoo- rio,’ or ovorneor, having that particular three under hiH special oare. Over nil the baoerios is a head mau. Two large mule teams are constantly hauling sup* plies, and in the storehouse of the rancho is a stock sufficient to start an ordinary oountry store. Of ewes, bucks, and lambs ho has now 1G.OOO head, less about 250, valued at about $75,000. A few years ngo, foreseeing that a large trnot of land would soon be necessary to maintain bis rapidly growing fiockN, and afford never fuiling pasturage,when prices were comparatively low he commenced the pnrohtiso of what has since swelled in to a princely domain, watered by six or seven different si reams, chief among whioh are tho Agua Duloo, Sun Fernanda and Lagarto. This tract, now contains 00,000 acres of land. With the fence completed whioh ho has now under way, these ucrea will not be worth less than $2 each. The trnot measures fifteen miles in long’!), and from ten to twelve wide, and is covered with plentiful supply of timber. Forty miles of fencing will he required to inclose it. Mr.Shnffer's dwelling is situated ueurly in the middle, and in addition to a very comfortable dwelling, ho has a stone warehouse for the storage o fwool, a large stable, And a dozen or more outbuildings for servants. Three or four immense customs supply water for the house, and noar tho sheep pens is a largo windmill and tank, draw ing n supply from a well eighty-ouo feet deep, out through solid rook, and in whioh tho water is thirty-five feet deep, ATTENTION, CAPITALISTS!

St* Johnsbury Caledonian.] A gentleman of the commercial traveler class was at Wells river last week, and between whiles thought a little trouting would have a good effect upon his per 8ua'<ive powers, lie procured a team and betook himself to South Ryegate. Arrivng At a farm house, near his finning ground, ho duly made fast his horse, and plied the piscatory art with all due zeal. An agriculturist appeared unto him, and made the statement that he bad put up the horse and fed him; for whioh com pliment and kindness “piscator” duly acknowledged his gratitude. Whereupon Mr. Farmer propounded the conumdrum of “laws regarding fishiDg upon brooks,” and acquainted our fisherman with tbe fact that his bill for the “boss keep was, with the damages to his fishing privilege just $5. This was duly paid. When the pair arrived at the house, the fisherman spied a fine dog lying upon the door step, aud asked (he price of the farmer, who stated ho had been offered $25 for him Our drummer thereupon drew his revolver, and stated inasmuch as the dog had no collar, he was disposed to enforce the dog law, aud would “shoot him on the spot, or, would take the $5 paid for “boas keep” and fishing tho brook, and $5 more for instance.” No appeal from this judgment being appsront, the $10 changed hands, end one went hts way thinking how pleasant it was to abide by the law, end the other stayrd at home studying out “whether ho had bought e dog or kept e livery stable.” Here is tho way poor old Morton talked to tho Ohio Republicans : “There is a solid South Against us. How long it will lsst I do not know, but under stand this is tbo situation to-day, aud that the South expects to wield the sentiment as one voice in the Hpproaobing political contest. It is important, therefore, that the North should stand together; that you should stand together in the great strug gle; that we shall not loso all that we have won. We must proserve the con stitutional amendments; we must pre serve the fruits of the war; all our inter*, eats, both Democrats and Republicans, ere alike. If the people of the South are straggling for their own recuperation, they oare not a fig for the Democracy of the North. Nothing has happened show ing that they care a whit for them. They have not forgotten that tbe Democracy of the North encouraged them to go into the rebellion, and made them believe that they would not permit them to remain in the Union. Dot they aot with the Demo cratic party of the North because they have an object. The people of the South have thoir own policy to carry out, their own wrongs to redress, their own lossos to pny oft'. And they want to mako tho Northern Democrat and Republican pay for their losses, and if wo have to pay them the Northern Democrats will huvo to pay thoir sbaro. That will bo some consolation. Tho South—wo havo for given them. They oost 500,000 lives and $6,000,000,000 by their crimes. There is scaroely a family in all this land in whioh there is not a vacant chair. Rut we for give them all that. All wo ask is that they shall be good citizens. We claim the right to go there, live and have our own opinions and Access to every privi lege that we give them when they come hero. With that we will bo satisfied, and with nothing else.” This is verily a voioe from the tombs, which may well give Morton’s friends se rious apprehensions about the stability of his reason. Tho American People. No people in the world suffer as much with Dyspepsia as Americans. Although years of experience in medicine bad fail ed to accomplish a certain aud mire rem edy for this disease and its effects, such as Sour Stomach, Heart burn, Water Brash, Sick Headache, Costivonoss, Pal pitation of the Heart, Liver Complaint, coming up of the food, low spirits, gen eral debility, etc., yet since tho intro duction of Green's Auouht Flower we believe there is no case of Dyspepsia that The Colton Din. The ootton-gin was invented in 1793. The oultnre of cotton was begun in the Southern Colonies iu 1770. It was an experiment for whioh tbe older nations of the world were not prepared, and was not suited only to a bold and ndventurous people. In 1784, tbo year Hfter tho close of the Revolutionary war, n vessel from this oountry,that hnd carried to Liverpool eight bales of cotton, was seized iu that port upou the 'specious oharge of illicit trade, grounded on tho presumption that so large a quantity of cotton could not E ossibly have boon tbe production of tbo nitedStateH. Eleven years later than this, in 1795, when the commercial treaty whioh bears the name of Mr. Jay was negotiated between tbe United States and Great Britain, ono artiolo of the treaty, as it originally stood, prohibited the ex portation from this oonntry, in American vessels of suoh artioles as Great Britain had previously imported from the West Indies. Mr. Jay was surprised to loam subsequently that ootton was included iu this prohibition, And still more surprised to be made aoquanted with the fact, of whioh bo was till then wholly unaware, that ootton was becoming an artiole of ex port from tho United States. The* culture was continued, amid difficulties and embar rassments which constantly threatened its abandonment, till 1791 the whole amount of oottou exported from tho United States •was but 189,316 pounds. The next year, that preceding tho invention of ootton-gin, the amount exported was diminished 50,000 pounds. There was, in faot, from the inoipienoy of tho oul- taro to tho period of this invention, no indication of any tendency to an increase of tho prodnetion. The chief difficulty in the prosecution of the enterprise had been found to be tbe extremely slow aud laborious prooess of oleauing tho green seed cottou, or separating it from the seed; and so serious had this ombarttHS- ment ootne to be regarded that tbo cul tivators were generally inclined to yield to it as an insuperable objection to what bad been tho grand design of tbo under taking, namely, the raising of cotton for tbe European market. The green-seed cotton is that whioh is commonly known us the upland or bowed Georgia cotlou, by which name it iH distinguished from l hut produced in tho islands and low dis tricts noar tho shore, called sea inland, or black-seed ootton. The latter is the finest kind, and derives its name from the cir cumstances of its having been flirt culti vated in this country in tbo low sandy islands on the coast of South Carolina. It will not flourish at a distance from the sea, aud its quality deteriorates as it is removed from “tho salutary action of the ocean’s spray.” It has a longer fibre than other cottons K and is of a pecu liarly even and silky texturo, which qualities give it its superior market value. Tho expression “bowed,” which is appli ed to the upland oottou, is descriptive of tho moans that were employed for clean ing it, or loosening tho filament from the seed, previous to the invoution of the oot ton gin. The prooess was similar to that employed by batters for beating up wool to tho proper consistency lor felting strings, attaohed to a bow, were brought in contact with a heap of uncleaued oot ton, and struck so as to oauso violent vi brations, and thus to open the locks of cotton and permit the easy separation of the seed from tbe fibre. Tbe cleaning was likewise done wholly by band, tbo work of bow-strings being scarcely more efficient than that accomplished by the fingers of the slaves. In either case tho proooss was discouragingly tedious and slow. Whitney’s cotton gin overcame all this difficulty, and furnished the means of separating the seed and cleaning tho oot- 6 FAIR BANKS SCALES REUEIVED HIGHEST MEDALS AT World’s Fair, London, - 1851 World's Fair, Now York, - - 1853 World's Fair, Paris, - 1867 World’s Fair, Vienna, - - - 1873 World’s Fair, Santiaeo, Chili, - - 1875 World's Fair, Philadelphia, - - 1876 World’s Fair, Sidney, Australia, - - 1877 Alsu boIo Agents for MILh'S ALARM MONEY DRAWERS, HANCOCK’S INSPIRATORS (The beet Feeder known for stationary, Marine, and Locomotive boilers.)
