The S. A. E. Fraternity.
Atlanta, August 24.—The S. A. E. Fra
ternity, a well known secret society at
southern colleges, is in convention assem
bled to-day in Atlanta. The Sigma Alpha
Epsilon fraternity* was organized in 1850 at
the University of Alabama, situated at
Tuscaloosa, by Noble Leslie DeVotie, of
Columbus, Ga., and prior to the war the
order spread very rapidly. During the
war many of the members were killed,
while those who survived scattered to all
quarters of the union. In 1866 chapter
Beta, at the University of Georgia, was
organized by members of the old chapter
at the Georgia Military Institute, and in
a few years the fraternity regained its
former prestige and excellence.
S. A. E. now numbers twenty-seven ac
tive chapters in universities throughout
the south, and plans are on foot for the es
tablishment of others. This fraternity lias
upon its rolls the names of John G. Car
lisle, L. Q. C. Lamar, Congressman W. L.
Wilson ot West Virginia, ex-Congressman
N. N. Clements of Alabama, Chancellor P.
H. Mell, Dr. A. A. Lipscomb and many
others whose uames are well known
throughout Georgia and the south. There
are sixty members living iu Atlanta.
Messrs. Henry R. Goetchius and John D,
Little are present from Columbus.
The convention elected the following
officers for the ensuing year: President,
John D. Pope, beta alumnus; first vice-
president, S. J. Foster, jr.,Tennessee, zeta;
second vice-president, 8. H. Dent,jr., Iota,
alumnus; secretaries, N. L. Hutchins, jr.,
Georgia, beta; B. G. Brice, South Carolina,
mu; R. D. Ross, North Carolina, theta.
The convention will be in session three
days, and will be tendered a banquet by
the local members.
A Senatorial Convention.
Atlanta, August 24.—The democratic
executive committee for the 35th senato
rial district adopted the following resolu
tion;
Resolved, That a convention of the 35th
senatorial district be called to meet iu the
basement of the courthouse in the city of
Atlanta on Saturday, the 11th of Septem
ber, at 12 m., to nominate a candidate for
senator of the 35th district, said convention
to consist of double the representation
which the counties have in the lower house
of representatives of the state legislature.
Atlanta, August 24.—Commissioner of
agriculture, Judge John T. Henderson,
went down to Augusta this morning.
Comptroller Wm. A.Wright has recoved
flue pieces, from hilf an Inch to one quar-
ter ofan inch and less. Arrange the ma-
chine so that the corn after it is cut will
tall into the silo, as 1 have done this, and it
will save much handling."
“Do you think tile corn would keep
without cutting it up ?”
** T ? sir, I do not. Mr. M. L. Patterson
tried it last year and it was all badly dam
aged. But if it would keep ever so well
l would not put it away without cutting it
up. 1 keep one hand busy all the while
clearing up my lot and feeding my cattle
and stock, and it is all I can do to get mv
ensilage fed out after it is already cut up.
It must be cut up before it is fed, and the
best possible time to do it is when it is put
away in the bulk. I use the same engine
that I gin with for running my cutter.”
“Do you think that fodder alone would
do to put iu a silo?”
“I do not, for two reasons: In the first
place it is so light and bulky that it is diffi
cult to exclude the air by pressure; and in
the next place it has none of the preserv
ing qualifies about it that the corn-stalk
lias. There is just enough sugar in the
corn-stalk to preserve it and make it pala
table to stock and cattle. The corn-stalk
will compress itself of its own weight suit!
cientlv to exclude the air; and when left
in bulk for several days alter being cut up,
it wilj form an air-tight covering.”
On saying; this Mr. Peacock took us into
a room which he had not disturbed for
several days, and which was nearly full of
the fragrant smeling, and when disturbed,
smoking hot ensilage, and began to re
move the top covering. “See, that is bad.
isn’t it? Now, how is that? Taste it.” And
it was really pleasnnt to the taste.
“Do you think the ensillage is damaged
any by coming through such a beat?”
“On the contrary, it is simply cooked
aud thus rendered more digestible to ani-
aninmls of all kinds. I never knew a horse,
a mule or a cow to refuse to eat it with a
vim.”
What is the main advantage of ensillage
over other kind of feed?
“Why it affords green feed for your
cows all winter, and green feed insures
yellow butter. I defy any man to make
yellow butter without green feed.” OT
This is a small part of the conversation
that took place between your correspond
ent and Mr. Johnson and Mr. Peacock. It
will pay any man who expects to build a
silo to go and see Mr. Peacock and bis
silo,for he has made it a success, and it will
pay any man who has to buy his butter,
and wants a good article, to'get some of
Mr. Peacock’s butter.
Mr. Irby Hudson, of Florida, passed by
here yesterday on his way to his summer
resort in Harris county.
The negroes closed their association at
Mt. Olive church Sunday night. Wide
awake Captain Bob Blanford caught up
with several of them who were trying to
steal a vide to the city en route from the
association Sunday evening. Like old Dr.
Tucker, of the Christian Index, I insist
that the word negro be spelled with a capi
tal N, for they are a distinct and peculiar
race.
Turnips are fine now, aud we are still
planting the seed while eating the salad.
Let everv body plant turnips. I know an
energetic young farmer yvko told me that
he planted his turnips over thirteen times
last year.
ESCAPED WITH HIS LIFE.
A Muring Swimmer In a Cork Vast Hu* a Terrible
Experience In Niagara Itaphls.
Niagara Falls, Out., August 22.—Wm.
J. Kendall, of Boston, to-day swam suc
cessfully in a cork vest tlie whirlpool
rapids of Niagara river. The trial was to
settle a wager of $10,000 made by Boston
parties, he to receive $1000 of the stakes.
There were few spectators of the affair,
it having been kept quiet. Kendall relates
the followingexperiencee when he reached
the spot where Captain Webb is supposed
to have lost his life: The water
seemed to go from under him,
and a huge wave struck him on the
head and shoulders, knockiug him uncon
scious for a few moments, lie found his
swimming abilities of no use whatever and
never expected to come out alive. When
entering the whirlpool he was so benumb
ed and partly unconscious that he could
not use a linib and did not know what lie
yvas doing. The current took him right
into the main eddy and sucked him down
like a flash, keeping him under fully fif
teen seconds. Upon reaching the under
current lie was shot out of the pool fully
- & — fifty feet from its center. When fie reached
from his attack of neuralgia, and is again the surface oi the water he had partly re-
gained consciousness, and knowing there
was no time to spare before he would be
dashed down the lower rapids he swam to

either free or send them to the nearest

with a host of inaletaetors until their trials
shall be concluded. The prisoners in
these lock-ups fare badly indeed. In
the summer scorched * with heat,
eaten by vermin in the winter, sleep
ing witnout either bed or rug on the
coni stone, with but one meal a day oi
coarse rancho or pottage, they pass tneir

wretched. Many are brought to these
dens merely as suspected accomplices oi
some crime, and they are kept there, and
thus hardly treated until they
have confessed nil they know.

exposure, the absence of decency, often
brings about the desired erfect, and they

Fortson, Ga., August 24.—One day last
week your correspondent in company with
Mr. F. J. Johnson went down to Mr.
the shore. While landing he was so over
come that he again became unconscious,
and his assistants were fully half an hour
occupied in reviving him with the aid of
stimulants and by rubbing.
When asked if he would ever make an
other trip he said most emphatically : “No,
there is not enough money in the
world to induce me to re
peat this afternoon’s experience. A
child would have the same chance to
go through the rajiids and come out all
right as an expert swimmer.” It took him
three minutes to go from the railroad
bridge to the whirlpool. Kendall is twen
ty-four years of age, six feet two inches in
height, weighs 1!I5 pounds and is well pro
portioned. He was born in New York,
but has spent most of his life in Boston.

idea as to how it is built. Mr. Johnson and
your correspondent decided to take the
cool part of the day for travel, and so we
were well on our way by the time we
could see to travel, and passed through
your city when but few of her inhabitants
had aroused themselves from the slumbers
of the previous uight. We soon found
ourselves traveling in the public highway,
through fenceless fields, and were reminded
that that was a section ot country where
everybody was compelled by law to take
care of his own stock. .
We reached Mr. Peacock’s house m good
time, and found him full of enthusiasm in

Home industries bear about the same re
lation to the generality of trades as that
of the stage and journalism to the profes
sions. They are modes of gaining a liveli
hood about which those engaged in the
set vocations know little or nothing, so far
as the inside Workings are concerned.
Hucli industries are unique in themselves.
For successful operation they seem to re
quire persons with a special aptitude for
nothing else- the odd sticks that will lit in
no other hole. In many cases t he pro
ducts of these industries are as familiar to
the public eye as are newspapers on the
streets or show bills on dead walls; but the
number of persons who iollow
these peculiar pursuits is so
small, comparatively, and they are
so completely outside the routine of every
day business, that the vast army of money
getters in ordinary have ns little knowl
edge of them as if they were inhabitants of
China or the moon. Few objects, police
men and lampposts excepted, are more
familiar to the: public, for instance, than
the cigar store wooden Indian. This aus
tere but unoffending savage can be found
holding silent vigil on the sidewalk in
nearly every block. Yet, probably not
one person in a thousand lias any idea
where he comes from. In New York there
are but three places where the only red
man known to civilization that doesn’t
want whisky, a scalp and an appropria
tion is manufactured.
A Mail and Express reporter discovered
this fact and some other interesting points
about the cigar store aboriginal a few
days ago. Two of the places where he is
created are in Canal street. The only
other place in this city is in Goerck street.
In one of the Canal street places the re
porter found a jolly-faced, middle-aged
man, anned with paint pot and brush,
industriously rejuvenating an aged warrior,
whose face wore a deep scowl and a long
crack down the middle of his nose.
Around the place were other savages of
various ages aud in different stages of
preservation.
“Yes, this is the hospital,” said the man
with the jolly face, replying to the repor
ter’s question. “And we have a good
many patients in the course of a year.
The long-suffering cigar store red man gets
some pretty hard usage from small boys
and other idiots. I’m at work on a lfi-
year-old veteran, and lie’s never been in
hospital before. When I get through with
him he’ll be good for another sixteen years.
That old fellow ’ll outlive me, if he has
good luck.”
With this philosophic observation the
artist neatly plugged the crack in the old
brave's nose, and put some deep carmine
war paint on his cheeks.
“Learn the trade?” continued the artist
in reply to another question. “Yes, in
deed; I’ve been at it since I was 13 years
old. There are very few in the business.

The trunk of the figure is all one piece, but
the arms have to be put on with the grain.
It is the same with any sharply-curved po
sition.”
In the cock-loft above two able-bodied
men were making chips and Indians as
fast as they knew how, Both brandished
long, thin-bladed chisels, and were
whacking away, apparently without the
slightest regard for consequences. Three
savages ready to graduate to the painting
department were standing in one corner,
and showed the chopping by the two men
was not so reckless as it seemed. The
nose of a young buck grew out of otic
block on the bench, and the graceful
ankles of and Indian maiden out of the
block before the other wood sculptor
while the reporter looked on.
