Macon, Ga., October 20.—I promised in
my last to give your readers a detailed ac
count of the most interesting feature in
the display of farm products by the
Munroe County Club. The cost of tins dis
play to the farmers of Munroe county, di
rectly and indirectly, is reliably estimated
at $1000. The interest this display is arous
ing in tlie farmers from every section is
intense, and that Interest will continue un
flagging to the end. These Munroe farm
ers

had it filled with about 100 hnnhnU nf nnm ! W. Farrar. On the fly-leaf are the words,
“Washington, Xmas, 1881.” The book
i accompanied by a note, in which the
and overhead liens’ nests with eggs and ; + 0 i. e so
near by hung the old eow boll. On top of
the shelter was the grain cradle. Spread
out on one end of the crib was the cow
hide, on the other the sheepskin recently
stripped from the back of a fat mutton. In
the top of the crib, on the corn, was a
dozen brooms made of old-field straw,such
as our mothers formerly used. Under the
shed on the other side hung the tobacco
stalks in its curing state. By the side of
the crib hung the old-fashioned plow stock
and in front on a peg hung the gear; the
cracks were ornamented with native
gourds. Near by the crib was the
smoke house, also built out
of peeled pine poles and hanging
Bill with several hundred pounds of the
finest of country cured bacon. Back of the
crib was the tall and shapely fodder stack
with rail pen around it, and on top of its
pole perched the hawk, watching the
movements of the little chicks, whose
mother occupied a coop near by. The
whole picture presented a view so home
like, so primitive and so farin-like — so
happily conceived and so marvelously
executed—that one glance carried the
mind of every beholder enthusiastically
back to the happy plantation days of
thirty-five years ago.

A ROMANTIC STORY.

Truth is at all times stranger than fic
tion. A few days ago there sailed for
England a young man whose career would
furnish materials enough to construct a
romance out of it. His father was a young
er son of good family, and related col
laterally to a baronet of old descent, living
on a valuable estate in one of the midland
counties. He was somewhat wild in his
youth, and a clever amateur actor. A
junior clerkship was procured for him in
the treasury, and he used to spend as many
of his evenings as lie could in one or other
of the theatres, where he fell in love with
and married a pretty ballet girl, whose
father was the stage doorkeeper
and whose mother was the
wardrobe woman in the theatre from
which the husband took her. The union
gave great offence to his friends, who
found very little difficulty in prevailing
upon him to quit England and go to Aus-
sald, speaking to lus conipsuio
pointing his finger toward the furl best gas
light that was twinkling through the mis!.
: and rain They all assented and nudged
j each other, for they anticipated a “whop
per.”
“Well, it was in 1862, when us rebs had
to make ourselves senree around these
Young parts. I was in the ordnance dopurt-
I uient and had to gather nil the loose pow
der in the city and put it into a wagon, the
bed of which was shaped like that of a
coke car. I hud hauled several loads and
safely deposited it in an ordnance train that
was mado up ready to move about five
miles south of this city on the Murfrees
boro pike. This was the last load, and the
report of“yankeos” was hourly brought,
in by the country youths who lived to the
north of the city. Well, J was loaded
with about 2000 pounds of powder -enough
| to blow up the whole country. I lingered
to say good-bye to my friends on the
square, who seemed very nervous and
anxious for me to depart. 1 started down
this very street, it’s been near twenty-one
years now, but it don’t seem very long to
me. Well, as I said before, I was going
down this street at a lively pace. As t
crossed Broad street I heard the crack of
carbines-in the vicinity of St. Cecilia. 1
knew that the yankees were there, and
presently there dished by me a squad of

to toe with the fleecy staple, and seemed , firm of solicitors in Lincoln’s Inn Felds,'
followed in due time by n remittance from
them and the information that he had
the very spirit and genius ot the opening
bolls and hanging pods; the other, with
his flowing beard of corn silks and suit of
husks in overlapping folds and bronzed
features, with brown autumnal eyes,
looked the very ruier of plenty,
peace and prosperity. “These are
our two kings,” said the genial
president of the club. “King cotton shall
no longer be supreme ruler in our country,
but he shall share his dominion equally
with king corn.”
As these brave words were spoken with
earnestness by one who was but a repre
sentative man from his section, and as they
had taken so much pains to make such a
striking symbolical representation of that
sentiment to the thousands of visitors who
were more than charmed as they gazed
upon the scene, I felt that the true spirit
which underlies our agricultural redemp
tion was at last taking a firm hold upon
the minds of the people. Perhaps I have
said enough by way of describing this
exhibit. Sure ani I that it is not in the
power of language to portray to the minds
of your readers the pleasing aud cheering
effect it produced on the feelings of those
who looked upon the scene.
I may be pardoned, however, for linger
ing about this scene, when it is considered
that the great problem for the world, and
especially for us of the southland, to solve,
is the problem of agricultural prosperity.
Oh. for a wisdom that will guide the hand
of nim who gardens for the feeding of
earth’s teeming millions. The man who
makes the earth to yield bountifully for
the feeding of the nations, and teaches
men to do likewise, will deserve a monu
mental shaft whose top shall be cloud-
<§ne distinguishing feature of the fair of
1886 is that, while due regard is paid to
other features, such as machinery, me
chanical skill, etc., the leading attention is
succeeded to a baronetcy and £12,000 a
year. No less than three lives had stood
between him and it when the old possessor
of the title died, but these had all been re
moved by accident in the short space of
eighteen months. One had been drowned
while bathing near Mount Orguell, in
Jersey; a second had slipped into a cre
vasse upon the Alps; and a third had
broken his neck while riding to hounds in
his own country.—Sydney Mail.

The unofficial averages of the players in
the American Association, which is print
ed in the current issue of the Philadelphia
Sporting Life, present some curious phases.
Among the pitchers Elmer Smith, former
ly with the Nashville team, ranks first as
to earned runs made oft’ his delivery, but
Tom Ramsey, Kilroy and Foutz, each of
whom pitched from five to six times as
many games during the season, unques
tionably outrank him. Bobby Caruther, of
the Browns, Terry and Toole, of Brooklyn,
Hudson, of the Browns, flecker, of the
Louisvilles, and several others, notably
SchaeffeT, of the Mets, are far superior to
him in that they are better team-workers,
and while the scores may show that they
at times hit harder, the confidence
and ability with which their teams
back them up, is ample evidence that they
are more desirable boxmen. In batting,
Toole, of the Brooklyns, leads as to first
base hits, which according to the rules of
scoring, makes him a heavier batter than
Orr, of the Mets, whose average for total
bases is over .080 per cent, higher. There
are hundreds of instances that could be
pointed out in these averages did space
permit, and the man who studies these ta
bles in order to get at the relative merits
of players as to their general team work
bestowed on' the display of agricultural and ability to carry up their ends would be

There are no charms surpassing these;
jolted out, and faster the flame flashed
toward me. I thought it was only a few
moments before I would be roosting on one
of the steeples in the vicinity. Even the
horses caught the inspiration and fairly
flew r . I froze to my seat and could have
gotten off if some one had knocked me oft.
All of a sudden a happy thought struck
me. It was only a mile from where I was
to Brown’s creek, and if I could only reach
that I would be safe. But faster and faster
came the burning powder, and it was iu
fifteen yards of me, and going at a terrible
rate. On we dashed, and in my delirium I
fancied I could hear the murmur of the
crystal waters of the little but important
creek. Forward we went, the horses
breathing hard, down the steep hill to the
bank of the creek, and there just
before me was a pile of rafters
which were fragments of the bridge,
torn up by the confederates. Thev lay
across the entrance to the ford. All was
up, and I was caught at last. The horses
ana wagon struck the barricade at the
same instant, and as I went over head
first into the middle of the creek I re
nounced the cause and the confederates
as fools. Just as my head struck the water,
the flame of powder, which had merciless
ly pursued me for two miles, caught up at
last. There was a loud explosion, and in
a few moments I found myself sitting a
quarter of a mile off in a field, with both
pockets full of fishes.
“I arose with some difficulty and pro
ceeded toward the scene of disaster. The
first thing that met my gaze was the hides
of my horses nicely cleaned, and hanging
over the fence on either side of the road,
as if they had been placed there by an ex
perienced tanner to dry before use. There
was no wagon or anything left to prove
that there ever was any. By this time the
yankees from town had heard of the
earthquake and were pouring over tlie Jiill i
to gloat over ray misfortune. I picked up j
the jawbone of one of my cultivated ani
mals, not- to slay anybody, but to keep in {
place of ray leg bones that were seriously .
injured in liiy landing after my aerial flight .
