The Egyptian Dhoura.
A Decatur correspondent of the Fort
Worth (Texas) Democrat tells that he
planted half a pound of seed ip May last,
of the Egyptian Dhoura, a species of corn,
on the first of May, and without any cul
tivation either with plow or hoe, by the
4th of July the top heads were ripening
and the process of forming shoots from
joints and suckers continued till frost. Af
ter & heavy loss from the depredations of
chickens snd birds,’ he gathered eighteen
bushels of seed, and the ground was never
otice wet with rain during the growth of
the crop. Two and a half bushels of the
seed were ginned into four ■and pro
nounced better than corn. Stock of all
kinds eat it voraciously. The birds made
havoc of it in the field, andthe blossoms
attracted the bees in swarms. The writ
er thinks he has found a substitute for In
dian com better than the com itself, and
infinitely preferable, considering the scar
city of rain in. Texas. ' ■
The Tariff. r •
' The other day a reporter of the Wash
ington Post interviewed the Hon.William
B. Morrison, of minors; about the pros
pect of his bill, cutting dowp. all the dp-
ties on foreign goods in excess of fifty per
cent, of their value to that figure, and the
prospect of any tariff reductl6n at ail.
Mr. Morrison could give no hope of either.
He said: mi
A few years ago any one would have
been ashamed to insist on'maintaining a
duty in excess of fifty per cent. To illus
trate my idea, let me say that fifty per
cent, duty makes you pay one dollar out
of every three invested in articles for duty
—that is, the < laborer who puts two or
three days’ work in sugar or salt, or any
ether necessary, of life, ip., cheap blankets
or coarse woolen clothes pven, gives one
day of the tlmte for taxes and protection.
Take the article of sugar, so largely used
by the poor. When the earnings of three
days’ labor is, invested in that article, I
think one day “is enough to give to taxes
and a (bw sugar planters in ’ Louisi
ana. But .now more is exacted This
article, pays,l gfeobt sixty per cent.,
and what I proposed was to reduce it
to fifty per cent, only because I feared that
was all I could get. Even that is resisted,
and the same and.more may besajd ofafl
other articles to be . affected by the .bill 1 1
introduced, and which now pays duties ip
excess of fifty percent.-. The sugar, duty
is by ho means the worst abuse, becapse
m&iiy .articlesalppo,,highly, taxed, that
they arefabt brought to tips country. .Re

My bill would leave him $5,000,900, which
is eilougli. The other million would make'
manya poor fellow’s coffeii sweeter he-
arc very handsome, and some of the
graves are kept green.

“Certainly not, because of the increased
price, amounting to about $40,000,000,
tlie Treasury gets nearly $40,000,000 and
the planters $0,000,000, because so large a
proportion of the article used is imported!
In the case of most articles to be affected
by my bill, the proportion b just the re-
ve:se. Nearly all of the increased price
goes to the manufacturer here, and very
little to the Treasury, because nearly all
these articles are produced- here, and but
little imported. As I said, the ‘importa
tion of many articles is practically prohib
ited, and our manufacturers are left with
out competition from abroad, either in
cost or quality; and whatever increase of
price results therefrom b collected by tbo
producer and manufacturer here, and not
by the Treasury Department. The con
sumer pays all the same.”'
“Your bill, however, does not appear
to have contemplated a very 'radical

“No, it was intended to lop off some of

“Is it not, then, a free trade. measure?”
r not. While we have so
we must have a large revenue
from imports, and tins, honestly laid, will
give incidental and sufficient protection
to satbfy all reasonable.men. Under the
power to raise feveirae we have no right
to prohibit or prevent revenuebeing raised
"by entirely shutting our doors by a pro-'
hibitory tariff. We might as .well shut
up Hell Gate, and ndf improve New York
harbor; fill tbe mouth of the Mississippi
with sand bars, Irisbfad of opening it with
jetties." ’
Precocious Cotton.
THE lrwintdn ~Zppeal~tkys, Mr. TSTHL
Smith showed them a green eotten boll,
on last HoLday, as large as a'pigeon's
egg. Jft had been taken a day or two be
fore from s cotton stalk growing on the
plantation of Mr. W. G. Pajme, in the
lower part of the county. -, •: -m ad ■
We presume the .plant in question-
sprang from the root of a stock of last
year’s cotton, which had grown lit some
sheltered spot. In other words, it ; was a
rattoon specimen.. Instances, of thb sort
aiefrequentlyto.be noted in the mild
climate of the seaboard of Georgia. Tbe
writer has seen whole fields of Sea Island
cotton throw up shoots from the roots, hr.
some esses putting out several feet from
the surface. Occasionally tbe plants
come to perfection and maturevery early.
They are usually loaded . with fruitj bot
the staple of the fibre b short and - coarse
in thb. country.
Not so in Cuba. We saw cotton shrubs
of several years’ growth, as large as a
man’s leg and fifteen ot twenty feet in al
titude, on that bland, though they were
isolated instances, as no fields of the sta
ple were to he discerned. Several open
bolls were plucked, and deposited for
some time in the public library of thb:
city. The staple resembled that of ordi
nary upland cotton. The case above Men
tioned forcibly evinces the exceeding
mildness of the past winter even in mid
dle Georgia. As far North as Macon,
quite a number of our citizens are eating
new Irish potatoes, and had a fall asp of

The Excursionists in the Queen City.
CufccofATi, Ohio,
....March 20th, 1S80.
Iditors Telegraph and Messenger:—
The impression that Cincinnati b- a great
place has firmly, been planted in theming
of the excursionists from the South. The
longer they stay the deeper b the impres
sion, and the hosts of Southerners never
seem to tire in their endeavors to make
all things agreeable. The bine badges pf
the excursionists have been passports eve
rywhere, and such generous hospitality
has been enjoyed but seldom either in the
frigid NorUt pr in the sunny South.
Business here b simply immense. The
wholesale jobbing trade overreadies the
expectations of all, while thp manufactur
ing interests make the city one of the bus
iest on the, globe. A perpetual
earn j of prosperity in the shape
of a cloud, of smoke, hangs
always above the city as it floats from tbe
almost, countless manufactories which line
the streets of the lower city., An enu
meration of the different manufactories
alone would' astonish the unimformed.
Scarcely an article used in tbe trades is
not produced here by the skill of the arti
san, aud the busy wheels of industry
make muslq from early dawn until even-
ing’s shades gives rest to tired hands. The
manufacture of beer alone has given Cin-
ciii^ati the reputation of. feeing the great
est market in the new world, for that very
popular beverage. In the matter of bug-
mot tfiq. city does an astonishingly luge
business, and the manufacturers tell me
the business is constantly enlarging'itself.
The finest wheeb. - in . the world
are produced here. -and. .from, thb
point find market,.-in every.; portion
of the United State. Through tbe cour-
_ of Messrs. Fraser and McCracken of
the Royer Wheel Company, I was enabled
jo get an Insight into the method of the
manufacture of wheeb. The,company,
as is well known,,is one of the most relia
ble in the Union. A glimpse through the
works will not be .uninteresting. -The
material rooms were visited first. • Here
the timber for the hubs are seasoned for a
year! or more before being put to use. . The
hubs, spokes and fellows are all lathed in
to shape—passing through about a dozen
hands. The wheels are the?; put together
by hand and the work 1? ready for ship

A bill is now pending In’ the Ohio Leg

For an example of the princely expendi
tures made by the road it may be men
tioned that tlie Ohio river bridge, whose
lofty proportions have been already noted,
cost $2,000,000. It is one of the finest
structures on the globe. And just here
comes in one of tbe finest points of advan
tage wHeh the Cincinnati Southern feas
'over other competing lines fn the vray of
freights.;-The bridge is the property of
the city, consequently of tha road, and
hance has nothing to pay for the privi
lege- of running cars across it. In St.
Louis a charge, we understand, of about
six dollars per car is made for the simple
crossing ofthe river. This amounts up to
a great deal in the course of the year, and
has, of course, to be made up in the sell
ing price or lost to the buyer.

The excursion lias been a great thing. It
has brought, the two sections together.
They have met and clasped hands, confi
dence has been established, and a better
feeling will hereafter prevail between the
two, to the benefit of each.
The stay here has been one round of
enjoyment from tlie beginning to the pres
ent time. The incidents have been innu
merable, but none have been of a serious
character, andthe Macohites have kept up
their refutation bravely.. In fact the rep
resentatives of your city have been the re
cipients of distinguished courtesies at the
hands of this people, and the treatment re
ceived shows plainly the esteem in which
the business men of Macon are held
abroad.
The excursionists have “done” the city
in the most approved style. None have
been “taken in” to any great extent, so far
as heard _ from, although reticence is a
most admirable trait of character.- Among
tlie happenings may be mentioned that a
thief stole into the room of ex Alderman
Price, and appropriated his handsome
watch and chain. J..

r id JANUARY AND MAY.
-• It all came of an old man marrying
young maiden with auburn hair, liquid
brown eyes, rosy, red, pouting lips, and a
general air of demanding to be loved like
a bouse afire. January is old man Chris-
tiapey, who beat Zach Chandler for Sena
tor from Michigan and afterwards resign
ed to take the Peruvian mission. He was
a dry old chap when! I first saw him in
1875-6, vrith never the ghost of ever hav
ing been anything else apparent in his
manner; personal appearance, walk or
talk—the last man, in short, one would
ever have suspected of a tendresse for the
sweets above named. -1 boarded one win
ter at tbe same hotel he patronized and
his entrance at mealtimes withhis charm
er—who was in deep mourning tbeh—
and it was truly edifying to mark her
downcast eyes and timid demeanor as she
tripped along - by her ancient’s side and
took her teat as close to him apparently
as she could get. She never raised
her eyes from her plate, -and seemed'en
tirely absorbed in the play of her knife
and fork, and seeing that hubby’s wants
were well supplied. The ungodly youth
who boarded at the hotel swore she must
really be in love with the old chap, and
skid what a pity 1 Outwardly, at least,
she was foe very pink and pattern of pro
priety, and even the women boarders were
fain to'adnlit' so'm*tin es that she might
really be-‘sweet on the old gentleman
This much I saw and knew of hfer. But
When I heard the history of her capture of
the ancient—how her mother took in
lodgers and she, herself, was an extraordi
nary : cute Treasury clerksss—shall we
say? then I marvelled'ho more at the
match. What chance had the venerable
IsaacP. against such combination? Of
course, being a widower, he surrendered
at discretion, and soon the bridal bells
were ringing, and the yoftng' woman who
moiled and toiled at $75 per month,
was Mrs. Senator ChristianCy, with
a)l of the good and pleasant things * that
title implies, especially in -Washington.
Finally they left the hotel and I lost sight
of them. Next came the news that Isaac
was going as, minister to .Peru but that
Madame was : not to accompany him.
Then It was announced' she had sailed to
join hfm,' and next'that she" had returned
hdine on a' ; visit to her mamma, and tlie
Oekt thing I .knew, personally, of heir was
an ocular demonstration in tne shape of a
female of about her size seated in a buggy
one afternoon and dashing down the ave
nue with a young man who seemed very
sweetr bn her, 1 and also to have quite'put
the venerable Isaac’s nose 1 ’ont of joint.

The first thing to be done is to catch
him. Many good husband ia spoiled in
the cooking. Some women keep them
constantly in hot water, while others
freeze them with conjugal coldness; some
smother them with contention, and still
others keep them in pickle all their lives.
These women serve them with tongue
sauce. Now, it Is not to be supposed that
husbands will be tender and good if
treated this way, but they are, on the
contrary, very delicious when managed as
follows: Get a large jar, called foe jar
of carefulness—which all good house-
wifes have on hand—place your husband
in It, and place him near the fire of conju
gal love; let the fire be pretty Tot, espe
cially let it he cleat; above all, let foe
heat be constant; cover him over with af
fection; garnish him over with foe spice of
pleasantry, and . if you add kisses and
other confections, let them be accompa
nied with a sufficient portion of secrecy,
mixed with prudence and moderation.
Very Fresh Fish.
At Japanese dinner tables one frequently
sees fish alive in a bowl, and, on inquiry,
it is discovered that foe slices served at
foe repast have been cut from the fish in
foe bowl, the skin being neatly sewn af

that foe fish is fresh.—77;e Hour.
Ever since Venice was wrested from
Austria in 1866 there has existed a society
in Italy, foe object of which has been foe
recovery from Austria of Trieste and foe
rest of the disputed territory. This se
cret society has gradually increased in
j rawer and influence until it has become se
1 ormidable as to be beyond the control of
foe regularly constituted authorities. It
is in fact master of the situation. The
people of Italy are thoroughly saturated
with foe idea that it is their duty as patri
ots to rescue from foe Emperor of Aus
tria his Italian speaking subjects, and the
attempt to do so cannot well l>e deferred
much longer.

EXIT SIMMONS.
There must have been “weepin’,'and
wailin’, and snatchin’ of teeth” to a fear
ful extent, last night, in certain quarters
of this city. After the most desperate ef
forts by foe “Simmons faction”—I quote
the language of my friend Randall—ihey
could only muster- ten men-.who. were
willing to goon record in Simmons’ favor,
and only two of whom were Democrats,
Messrs. Eaton and Hill. Twenty-nine
against - Simmons, aud ten for. him!
The figures tell the story more eloquently
than could any words of mine. I had Al
most forgotten to say that -the great
North American Straddler, Davis, of
Illinois, joined Messrs. Hill •• and
Eaton—to please Mr. Stephens, I hear.
It is reported that Mr Hill spoke over four
hours to favor of Simmons. Mr. Blaine
made quite'. a humorous speech on ’the
nomination. He said Simmons had estab
lished beyond all question in his letter to
the President asking the appointment that
he was an unflinching Republican, and in
his subsequent declarations and letters
begging confirmation that he was a zed
hot Democrat. Also that he had proved
himself an unwavering loyalist and an ar
dent Confederate. “I regret,”he Continu
ed, “foatl have.not two vote si for, then it'
would givq me!
this devoted Uni
casting one of them _ _
pleasure in casting the other to reject this
active Rebel and ardent Democrat. .As*
however, I have but one vote, I had per
haps better not cast It at all,” And thus
cudeth foe last chapter of Simmons. . He
will not have foe pleasure of getting even
this time, at least with “the'-corrupt seces
sion traitors.”'
IN THE HOUSE, HHH
yesterday, the Democrats achieved a niost'
substantial trinmph to so amending foe
Federal election laws as to- secure half

uty and special deputy marshals -detailed

Hawley, of Connecticut, would either,

The funniest thing, however,;, .about! foe
whole matter was the way Garfield took
water when some of his party associates

an amendment which reduced foe pay and
divided these deputies between the two.
parties and then when the Democrats ac
cepted it, word for word,. hacked down
and actually voted against It! ^his illus
trates what I have so often, noticed and-
noted, viz: His lack of what is generally
known as back-bone. - He actually let old
Conger’s snarl and bull-calf Reed’s bellow
scare him into foe most symmetrical act
of self-stultification I think I e ver' wit
nessed. The amendment was finally
adopted and foe bill passed by nearly a
strict party vote. Among foe negatives,
however, were Blackburn, Knott, Hard,
McKenzie and Cap. ‘Tete’ Smith who were
opposed to foe whole business of Federal
supervision of elections. Tbe other mem
bers of the Georgia delegation voted for
tlie bill as amended, except Dr. Felton,
who is recorded as not voting but was

Mr. Stephens is also recorded as not voting

were so merry on Wednesday and Thurs

1 A Devoted Wife.
In my- father’s poultry yard, says a.
writer to Chambers’ Journal, was a game
cock, foe most beautiful bird of the kind
I ever saw. He had several wives, and it
was- aciiHons thing to seethe different
aire and graces of the ladies in his train.
He was an inveterate fighter, if he could
escape frorn the yard, which was surround
ed by a high wall. By some means, an
accident had happened to his foot, and he
became-lame. My brother, who was a
medical student, advised us to poultice it.
Mamma, undertaking thi3. Ralph
came every morning' to have hi3
fopt dressed, and though evident
ly suffering very much, allowed her to at
tend t o it. But no improvement came,
and foe poor bird began to droop. One
day -we • beard > a loud noise; a famous
game-cock had come into foe yard when
the gate was left open, attacked Ralph,
and had him beaten severely. He wm
injured, though he had defended himself
Well.' Mamma picked him up and carried
.him away, but next morning he wa3 out
in the yard, warming himself in foe sUh.
I was Very glad I was permitted to see
what'I then saw, oi?'J could- not have be
lieved it. Ralph’had been beaten! He
was no longer to be honored by hts’faifo-
less wives. They ■ came -first,’one by one,
and then altogether, looking with all the
contempt they could display. One
and another pecked at himj and at
last tho prettiest and his favor
ite, went . straight
P np to - him and
gave him a severe dab- near lm eye. But
there' Was one faithful friend among
them, au awkward, bustling brown hen,
crate in foe Northern cities have been dis- with no pretension* to beauty, who flew to
franchised at every.' Federal election.' his-rescue, stood resolutely before foe
These deputies and .special deputies have - prOstnitejbird—for he had -sunk to foe
generally .been men ofthempat desperate ground as if heartbroken—and sheltered’,
character, many of them graduates of the him with her wings. It was useless to
penitentiary, and nearly all social outlaws leave him lit foe poultry yard, so he and
of foe worst character.. The Radi* his fhithful brown hen were placed in the
cals, of course, fought this ..amend- garden; foe tool-house being left openfor
them through foe night*. Some .weeks
passed and Ralph grew weaker, till one
morning we found him dead. A grave
was dug arndhtf faithful jwife saw .him
placed in if. She'was taken,hack to tbe
yard, but she never rallied; and a few
days after we saw her lying cold and life- ’ .
leas on .the spot-where me friend of her '
generous heart lay buried. w -•

The Power of Webster's Ryes.
The -first criminal case Mr.. Webster
was engaged in was when in foe practioe
of the law at Boscawen. He was junior
counsel,and foe ease was tried at Plymouth.
At the examination of a witness, who was
one of your moderate speaking, self-poised
men, the impression was fixed upon foe
minds ofthe counsel that he had not told
all. Every approach the ingenuity of the
counsel could make was made upon
him, still be was the same.
Jeremiah Smith, of Exeter, was tbe
presiding Judge, a man unequaled to hie
acuteness. He questioned the witness-
with similar success. As he was stepping
down from tbe stand, Mr. Webster, giving
the witness one of bis looks, said; “Mr.
WltnessI” asked him bne.quettion, and
drew from him foe answer they had been
80 . lon S after. Upon another occasion,
while he resided at Portsmouth, a man
from Newmarket was prosecuted and sum
moned to appear before three Justices at a
certain hour of the day. Webster In
quired: “Before whom are you sum
moned?” The maul told him. “I
will be there,” said Webster. This
Justice-in-Chief was not of a savory
reputation, which Webster knew. So
mounting his horse, he rode in a chill No
vember day to Newmarket. Entering foe
court room he found foe Justices awaiting
his arrival before a good fire. He stopped
at foe fire to warm himself, occasionally
turning his eyes upon the offensiveJusttor.
The Justice rose, went out of the room
and did not return, and as the law requir
ed his client to be arraigned before force
Justices, and there were bat two present,
he secured his discharge, thus “looking
justice off foe bench.”
No other remedy^las proved so effec
tual in relieving coughs and colds as Dr.
Bull’s Cough Syrup. It is recommended
by many physicians, aud; costa only 25
cents a bottle.
