SUN-FLOWEit.} Too Refined for Texas Soct.:ty —A. few day§ ago a. wagon, draw n by a yoke ot long-lxorned Texas cattle, hailed ou Lafayette street in Colun bus. The wagon contained a goul looking woman, seven children a? 1 considerable plunder. A man, a sutltll bov, and a dog that had run to t i! were the remainder of Uki party. T!.i y were from Texas, and were rclurniig to their old h >me in Decatur counTy. An Alderman of the city who I id passed many years of his life in the Lope Star State, approaclu 1 the w g on. He sai 1 to tha woman: “Fixin Texas I presume?” “D.dn’t you like tha country?” “No sir.” ‘DiH’t you like the climate ?” “0, yes.” “Did you have good health ?" “Ye-*,” “Wasn’t the land good ?” “Yet.” “How about tlio crops?” “O, we made splendid crops.” “Well, tYt?n, ma’am, what on earth is your objec tion to Texas?” “Why sir,” she re plied “I couldn’t,stand the society in that rough conn try;” and Ineu she turned to the small boy, her son, ai cl cried out, “Sam, drive that darn dog out’en the dinner pot; don’t you 5,,, he’s got his nasty snout into the viv tals.” U-Of" An Atlanta correspondent of the Albany News writes that the con troversy between Messrs. Stephen* and Hill will result in the bringing out of “the unwritten history of the Hampton Roads conference and the removal of Joe Johnston.” The inti mation of the correspondent is that Mr. Kill has said it will lead to this. One who knows how it is her self says : “The man who is awfully urbane to his wife before strangers is generally also her bane behind her back !” Cod-liver oil has been used with success for fattening poultry bv an extensive owner of feathered stock in one of the city suburbs.

On last Friday evening a most shocking murder occurred on the farm o'. Col. George N Lester, three miles fsoni Marietta, Ga., in which a son imbrued his hands in the blood of the at;A >r of his being. The murder ed man. Andrew Jones, was a colored man e"kitty y ars old and ‘a tenant farmer, *..td his son, Andrew, 17 yea.-a L wife a-*. wer 1 the sole occupants of ti e * kin. Op i ■ ("> "ai-ig named, about seven o’clo Av.drew came homo, after aweary tramp, having been out trying to buy ■, mule to supply the place of his hyivo that had !>ro!m his neck the night i ’fore. A neighboring colored woman was present on his arrival, and began to discuss the relative ad vtintag: 1 and di advantages of a mule and yoke of ox m which he contem plated bpyin; . The boy Andrew ob j acted to buying the oxen and sai 1 he wouldn't work them. The old mm intimat: 1 that he was boss of that “shebang.” About! this time the visiting i. 'gi woman ■'got, tip to leave; they asked her to stay for supper, but she de clined i7*.i went, to her cabin several hundrec. y .ri- distant, and she had about gfjv home, when her husband Blake, hen ■ 1 .soma one calling him from tk ■ direction of old Andrew’s house, tie went over ill re and . umd old m:m .Indr. w prostrate in the yard, b! e ling l’r m a wound to the right of the pit of the stomach, near die fift.li-yib. A gun was close by him cupped a:■ 1 loaded. Blake asked ijitu whip was the matter, and with great, eiibrt In* replied: “My son Au tre w 1: $ shot me.

Ttiey were not s-atisfied, aud on open ing the mat)they found several lead slugs. The old woman was asked how cam i the lead to be in his body. She in Aft ican j irgou said, “She b i I put deni'leads on de lids ob de ole man’s eyes, and fore she link he mus sel' swa.low ’em.” Old Andrew’s clothes wtrs then found and there wore the p-wder-burnt holes through thtni, establishing conclusive proof, with t*H: Sliding of thi lead slugs, that the old man had been shot with some kind of a gun or pistol. But the old. negro woman said, “He must bab burnt his rbithes will i.is pipe.” T!i6 co*.l indifference exhibit and by the old woman and son was astonish ing; in fact > ic* by was heard to Bty while t hi* *.i •• >l*9 were cutting opt p his fail civ that “ho was always ma king trouble in do family, guess he nob r Io it agin.” Thsy were pei la tent in their denial of his having b* *:*n shot and killed, but .when an officer took chart’,:.' of tbo boy aud was bring ing him to town, he then confessed to having hut J*.io father, to keep him from si: Jg*him. An inquest was held and tike CoroQtrs’s Jury return ed a verdict finding Andrew Jones, Jr., and Jones as pricipals in the murder of An hew Jones, Sr.,and ■ they were !mth put in jai!. The boy says his father was going to scald Ins mother with a pot of hot coffee, and he tried to prevent it, and his father then tided to shoot him and he had to kill his father to save his own life. The Court will deal with the matter and other developments may be made. B©.

A Puzzled Dutchman. A Wisconsin paper contains the following not believe in imnieision for baptism was holding a protracted meeting, and one night prWched on the sub ject of baptism. In the course of his remarks he said, some believe it ne cessary to go down into the water, and come out of it, to im baptised; but this ho claimed to bo'a fallacy, for the preposition “into” of the Scrip tares should be rendered differently, fur it does uot mean into at all times, ‘vloses,” he said, “we are told, wuut up into !hc mountain, and the Savior was taken into a high mountain, etc. N. w we do.not suppose that either went into a mountain, but unto it. So with going down into the water; it simply means going down close by or near the water, and being baptized in the ordinary way by sprinkling or pouring.” He carried out tin's idea fully, and in due season and style cloud his discourse; then an invita tion was given for any one so disposed to arise ami efpress his thoughts. Quite a number of his brethren arose ami said they were glad they had been present on this occasion; that they wore well pleased with the sound ser mon they had just heart], and felt t mil* souls greatly biased. Finally, a corpulent gentleman of Teutonic ex traclion, a stranger to alb arose and broke a silence that was most painful, as follows : “Mister Breadier, I ish s > glad I va-tii here to-night, for I has had ex blained to ray mint some dings dat I never could pelief pc fore.

Slimmer really deserves pity, for it certainly was uncommonly rough on him. Tie was going to Rending the other day, and when he reached the lepot he happened to look into the ladies’ room. A woman sat there with a lot of baggage and thrree cliil dren, and when she saw Slimmer she rushed at him, and before be could defend himself she flung hc-r arms tb at bis neck, nestled her head upon his breast and burst into tears. Slim mer was amazed, indignant, confoun led; aud before he could find utter '.„nco for his feelings, she exclaimed: “O, Henry, dear Henry ! We are united nt last. Are you well? Is Aunt Martha still alive ? Haven’t you longed to see your own Louisa?” And she looked into Slimmer’s face and clung bo him, and smiled through her tears. “Madam,” said lie solemnly, “if I am the person alluded to as Henry, permit me to say that you have made a mistake. My name is Lemuel. I have no Aunt Martha, and I don’t own a solitary Louisa. Oblige me by letting go my coat. It excites re mark.” The she buried her bonnet deeper into his waistcoat, and began to cry harder 'than ever, aud said: “O, Hmiry, how can you treat- me so ? How can you pretend yon are uot my husband ?” “Madam,'’ screamed Slimmer, “if you don’t cease sopping my shirt bo som, und remove your umbrella from my corn, I shall be obliged to call the police. Let me go I say.” “Tke'chihlren are here,” she persis ted. “ihey recognize their dear fa ther.

Slimmer was removed on a stretcher, and the enemy went oft with his wife and family in a cab. He cube 1 next day to apologize. His wife had made a bad mistake because of Slimmer’s likeness to him. And now Slimmer wishes lie soon may bo kiced in Hie face by a mule, so that he will resemble no other human be jug on earth. Ti:e Condensed Milk Man. Gail Borden, the “Condensed Milk Man,” died in Colorado County, Tex as, recently, in the seventy-third year of his age. Mr. Borden first came to New York from Galveston, Texas, in 18,70 he invited what is called meat biscuits, containing, in the smallest the nutritive prop ertied of the beef or other meat used in its manufacture. After thorough torts both in this country and Europe, the liighc .t authorities pronounced the meat biscuit an excellent article, le taii.iug unimpaired the nutritive prop *tk;s of its constiueuts. A council medal was awarded at the great exhi bition in London in 1851. The re port on the subject says : “A more simple, economical and efficient form of portable concentrated food than the American meat biscuit has never been brought l?cWe the public. Preparations of milk were known in Europe and in this country, but they were too costly to admit of general use, and, me reover, foreign substances were introduced which \v< re h ss nu tritive than new milk. Mr. Bordi n was the man to overcome ail obstacles in this matter, and ho set to work with great zeal aud confidence. His ex periments were long and expensive, but lie at length succeeded. The first factory which he established was at Litchfield, Conn., and the demand for the milk still increased. In 1860 more extensive works were creettd in Dutch - ess. county, New York, on the line of the Harlem Railroad, where three vacuum pars w< re employed, capable ot working 5,000 gallons per day. Another factory was established at Brester’s Southeast, Putnam county, Another at Livermore Falls, Me., and another at Elgin, Kano count}, I ih, the two latter having each a capacity of 2,000 gallons per day. At the lat ter place there is also a factory for the manufacture of the extract of beef. Acock!ink to “Ptulih” the nest sub stitute for * y|.. n wrTher.
