FARM AND GARDEN.
In the opinion of the Supreme Court
of Georgia, as rendered by Chief Justice
Jackson, it is immaterial whether a per
son worked a plantation as a partner or
as a mere cropper or hired hand, who
was to work for half the crop; after the
ciop was divided, the tit e to the half set
apart to him became his, and the other
party had no title thereto and could not
recover it in trover. If the latter had
any claim for advances, his remedy was
to sue therefor.

Crab Grass Hay.
“There is no crop,” says Col. A T.
Holt, of Macon, Ga., “that will pay the
farmers more than crab grass. ’ The
richer the ground the better the crop
will turn out. There is more real money
in it than any thing else a farmer can
plant, and the land not impoverished
lake a piece of land, prepare it in May,
sprinkle manure broadcast, turn it under
with a good two-horse plow, harrow and
roll it good and it will seed itself, the
seed being indigenous to the soil. It is
to be cut when it is in bloom. Let it
sun for about two hours and put into
cocks, 'the curing follows. I had 25
acres, from which I cut thirty-two two
horse loads of hay at two cuttings. You i
can easily cut two tons to the acre. Ths
crop is a natural one and requires little
work. I had some waist high, and it was
g orious for stock.”
The Money Value of Manure.
Manure is very much increased in
value according to the kind of food used.
Straw is a poor food; the poorest in fact,
and nimals fed on straw leave behind
them a lot of manure of the pooro-t kind.
Valued at the rat scharged by dealers in
artificial manures ,r fertilizers, this straw
manure is worth 32.5 D per ton. Thit
value < f course depends upon several cir
cumstances; for instance, where markets
are near and lands are high in value, this
estimate for the value of the manure is
reasonable. But where land is very cheap
the o values do not apply. Then as the
foo 1 increase.i in value so does the ma
nure. The manure made from a ton of
clover hav is valued nt over $13.00; that
from a ton of bran is worth sl4; that
from a ton of linseed oil-cake meal is
worth $23.00, and that from a ton of
cotton seed meal $29.00. These are high
values for the manure, but they are per
fectly justified by the facts. How im
portant then is it to the farmer that ho
should use this valuable manure in the
most economical and effective manner:
by preparing the soil thoroughly and
mixing the manure, which furnishes the
plant food for his crops in the most inti
mate way with it. This can be dons
most perfectly only by the very best
implements made especially to pulverize
the soil to a sufficient depth and to mix
the manure evenly and thoroughly with
the fine mellow earth.

Harvesting Oats.
A writer in the Southern Cultivate
says : “In saving feed oats I commence
to harvest when they are in good dough
er about half ripe. It never makes any
difference with me, as to wet or dry
weather, when I am having them cut, I
stop only during a shower. I have them
tied and put in shocks of one dozen bun
dles, keeping up with the cradles. If
the weather is fair, I cap them nt the
same time. If wet, I let them stand till
they dry off; and then I don’t cap them
unless there is appearance of more rain ;
and, rea ly, it is best- to cap none of them,
and keep them so, although the caps are
more easily fitted when first cut, ami
could bo taken ofl when the sun shines
out, and replaced when there are indica
tions of rain. I never let them remain
in the field longer than teu to fifteen days
if the weather is suitable to haul them
to the barn. It is a good idea, after a
wet spell, when the weather is fair,
to scatter and lot them sun after the
dew has dried off. But they should bo
shocked again in the evening. It is highly
important that they should lie housed
perfectly dry to keep them from mould
ing. When 1 get ready to haul them in
I commence on a fair, sunshiny day,
about eight or nine o’clock, to tear down
and scatter what I can haul and house
the remainder of the day. Now for
hauling and storing away in the barn.
1 commence by placing the butts in the
back end of the barn, of the first bundle.
I then place the next bundle with the
butts in an opposite direction, always
keeping the heads together, though well
hipped back as far as the tie, and the
butts together. As soon as one tier is
run across to a height that is inconveni
ent to reach or place them well, com
mence on the floor by placing the butts
together again, never forgetting to cap
the heads well. The barn can be filled
full, if same one gets upon the top
of the pile and has them thrown up
to be put in place The bundles should
never be crossed and piled, but made to
fit smoothly and evenly on the top. If
the Cultivator fanners will follow this
plan one year, I guess that you will hear
no more discussion among them about
rat proof barns to save cats from the
destruction of rats. In feeding them out
of the barn it is best to always take them
off the t ip. They pack down so close
and light it is almost impossible to get
them from anywhere else.

- Men who Succeed.
Says the Manufacturers' Gazette.’
"The young men who receive promo
tion are the men who do not drink on
the sly. They are not the men who are
always at the front whenever there is
any strike, nor are they the men who
watch for the clock to strike twelve and
leave tbeir picks hanging in the air.
They are not the men who growl if they
are required to attend to some duty a
few minutes after the whistle has
sounded. They are the men usually
who pay the closest attention to the de
tails of their business, who act as though
they were trying to work for their em
ployer’s interest instead of to beat him
at every crook and turn. They are the
men who give the closest attention to
every practical detail, and who look con
tinually to see whether they can do any
better or not This class of men are
never out of a job. They are scarce.
They never strike, they never loaf, and
they do not ask for their pay two or
three weeks before pay day.”

r . The news from Suukim is distressingly
meagre, says an exchange. For in
stance, a dispatch states that the enemy
appeared in force in the direction of
Handoub, and the men at work on the
railroad ceased operations. Now, who
were the enemy ? Did the men strike
when they quit ? And did they join the
enemy, or stand to one side to see that
the latter did not commence where they
left off? Railroad men quitting work in
this country has but one significance.
NEW ORLEANS SOCIETY.
COMPARISONS BETWEEN MEN THERE
AND MEN AT THE NORTH.
The Jolly Man a Rnra Avia In the Crencenr
City—Criticism No! Welcomed.
"The manners and customs of the men
of New Orleans are peculiar. The prev
alent expression on their face is not a
cheerful one; it is sombre and thought
ful, if not melancholy, and a visitor who
wanders alxmt town is struck by the
number of men who seem to be brood
ing over a wrong. Jollity attracts at
tention. In the Northern cities there is
an endless number of men who show by
their cheerful faces, free manners, and
prosperous-looking clothes that they
take life easy and enjoy things by the
way. Every one is familiar with this
type of man. His wit may lie cheap,
his talk slangy, and his perpetual cheer
fulness at times a bit rasping, but his
laughter is none the less infections, and
his face insures him a welcome every
where. He talks too loud in the read
ing room of the club, plays practical
jokes on the waiters in the restaurants,
is apt to look too long upon the wine,
and commits various other indiscretions
that annoy the frigidly polite; but it is
to be observed that he has hosts of
friends, that his purse is always open,
and that he is asked to ten dinners a
month where the frigidly polite must
content themselves with two or three.
When he sails up to a bar or into a case
he is greeted with smiles, and there is
a rustle of satisfaction all nround. He
usually has a waistcoat that liellies out
like the jib of a yacht in a gentle
breeze, his trousers are natty, his boots
well polished, aud his hands white and
soft. Every one calls him ’Charley,’
‘Billy,’ ‘Smithy,’ or some other affec
tionate version of Charles William
Smith, if that happens to be his name,
and he goes through life and about town
in a manner that does good on every
hand.
"This type of man is not a rarity in
New York, Boston, or Philadelphia, but
ho is almost unknown in New Orleans,
He is not to be found at any of the ex
cellent clubs the town can boast of, at
the bars or in the streets. The men
drink here with the soberness of mourn
ers. They walk along the streets with
their eyes half closed and their hands in
their pockets, and the ring of a quick
and vigorous step on the pavement
never comes from a native’s heels.
“I wandered into one of the oldest
barrooms in New Orleans one night
about!) o’clock, and the melancholy air
which hung over the place struck me
at once. It had low ceilings and was
musty. Mythical faces painted on the
panels of the wall in ante-bellum days
were as faded as the gilt, that encircled
them, aud the sanded floor was worn us
smooth as a bit of polished marble, save
where the knots in the wood rose above
the level. The bar and all decorations
of the big square room wore painted
white, and the bartenders, I was told
by the man who took me there, had
been in their places for years and years.
The man with me knows everybody
here, is a member of three clubs, and
popular as popularity goes in this lym
phatic town.
“‘I find I’m growing old too fast
heah,* he remarked, slowly, the other
day. ‘l’m healthy enough, sound ns a
dollnh, as fur as I know, weigh 185
pounds, aud stand six feet high. 1 eat
and sleep well, but there’s something
wrong with me shush. When I was
No’th at college I was as spry on my
toes as a French dancing master, but
now I’m as languid as a malaria dude.
I go home at night live or six times a
week and sit dreaming of what I shall do
some day in a business way, and go to
lied full of ideas ami resolutions. On
the following morning I am so enervated,
weak, and lifeless that I go crawling
about like a man of sixty. It’s the
climate, I think.’
"Scattered about the barroom were
half a hundred men of the same social
status as the crowds that drink in the
case of the Brunswick or at the Hoffman
House. They were sitting at small
tables in little knots of twos and three*.!,
talking in subdued tones. Most of them
wore frock coats, which hung in wrinkles
on their shoulders, while their faces
were shaded by soft felt hats. They
were New Orleans gentlemen, though
not New Orleans swells or club men.
There was not a ruddy, healthy-looking
face among them, most of the cheeks
being either pale or sallow. As the man
with me passed along he nodded right
and left, and was saluted in return by
solemn duckings of the head and such
greetings as ‘Well, David,’ ‘ Good
evenin’, Dave,’ ‘Ah, Dave,’ aud simp y
‘David.’ Though these men had grown
up with him from childhood, and had
been companions with him for years,
they were as qniet, cold, and formal in
their greetings as though meeting a re
cent acquaintance. It was not the self
repression and very pro;x>r air that Eng
lishmen affect, but an almost sullen man
ner, aud barely relieved of discourtesy
by the softness of the voice.
" ‘lf you think this place is qniet now
you should have seen it a few, a very'
few, years ago,’ said the proprietor of
the saloon a little later on. ‘Policemen
were stationed at the doors then to
search every one who entered to take a
drink, so as to see that no concealed
weapons were carrier!. This searching
process took the irons away from all the
boys, and they felt kinder lonesomer and
quieter than ever. The place was like a
tomb then.’
"This dcwncast air is as prevalent
among the members of what is called
the best society as it is elsewhere. The
men, when you meet them, are courte
ous, quiet, and sad. They talk about
the gravest of things, and when a dozen
of them gets together it is only at rare
intervals that a laugh is heard.”

THE SHOSHONES OF IDAHO.
Traits of the Indiana an They are Found
Minsliuff with the Whites.
The Shoshone Indian reservation is
hear Pocatello, in Idaho, but the work
of confining these nomads to an allotted
space is, I fancy, a difficult task. Num
bers of Shoshones are met with daily,
traveling over the various lines of rail
way in the neighborhood of the reser
vation. They are furnished with free
transportation, but free transportation is
all; for no matter how inclement the
weather they must ride on the platforms
of the coaches if a passenger train, and
if a freight on the tops of the cars.
Those owning stock are, to a certain ex
tent, independent of the railroads, and
are frequently encountered in consider
able numbers crossing the country or
trading at the stations.
Occasionally you will see a party com
posed of a dozen or more Shoshones,
bucks, squaws and papooses and half
grown children grouped upon the station
platform, awaiting the arrival of the
train. The squaw, besides the car'*’ of
a mother (they all appear to be moth
ers), is also the beast of burden, and has
strapped to her back a large bundle of
blankets and other necessary camp
effects. Her attention is devoted to her
domestic duties. The children eye with
silent wonder all that is new and strange
around them, while the buck, pigment
in hand, heightens the color of his cheek
or forehead, supremely indifferent to
the interest ho excites.
Contact with the white man has taught
the Shoshone something of the art of
trade. Entering a store, followed by the
entire party, however large that party
may be, the spokesman will take from
the bag on the back of the squaw one
of the pelts he wishes to sell or ex
change for supplies, and laying it before
the proprietor asks how much. Should
the offer not suffice he will shake his
head, replace the skin in the bag and
take out another, which is also handed
to the storekeeper for inspection. This
is repeated several times, when the
storekeeper, becoming impatient, asks
the spokesman if lie has any more and
what ho will take for the lot, but the In
dian only smiles and shakes his head, as
The ‘Utarts.”
A quarter of ac mtury ago, it was the
fashion to poke fun at the American
"on his travels.” Now the children of
Uncle Ham have made so many trips
across the big pond that they have be
come quite as fly as the English brother;
nay, more so, fox the Yankee has his
natural cuteness to fall back upon. But
now and then they will put their foot in
it. For example a worthy citizen of the
State of Nevada—a man whose millions
are periodically mentioned in the news
papers with due respect—found himself
not more than a year ago in an English
churchyard. With him was his faithful
Dick—for this was before the tender
bond that held the trustworthy Richard
to the millionaire was broken, the golden
cup of their friendship ruthlessly shat,
tered. They were the guests of an Eng
lish country gentleman, and he was
allowing them the sights of the neigh
borhood. Among the tablets were quite
a number bearing the names of the
deseased baronets of the county. There
was Sir John Sims Bart, and Sir Tom
Girns Bart, and Sir Richard Grims Bart,
and so on. Then up and spoke the
traveler to his host.
"Yon have a number of the Bart fam
ily buried here I see ?”
Richard grins and treads on his
pat ion’s toe, but the devoted statesman
rushes on to his fate.
"Well, they were nice people, those
Barts, and we had some of ’em working
for us in Nevada. There was Jim Bart,
I well remember, and a better miner
never stepped into a cage.”
The politeness of the Britisher re
strains him trom laughing, ns well as from
making an explanation, and before Dick
can enlighten his patron as to the true
meaning of the abbreviation, they are
seated at the dinner table.
I "And would you believe it,” con
cludes Dick, “all through dinner the
Nevadan k. pt harping on the B.irti and
what a nice, re.-pt ctablo family of then’
bad settled in the State of Nevada.”
A Wonderful Stream of Water.
“There is no man on earth,” says
Peck, "that can describe Silver Springs
so readers can form any idea of them.
The springs cover two or three acres,
and the water is from ten to fifty feet
deep. The bottom is the most beautiful
white sand, and the water is the clearest
water in the world. It is so clear that
any object on the bottom can bo seen as
plainly as though one was only looking
through a sheet of the finest plate glass.
Yon can never realize it until you sea it.
Fifty feet down you can see fish as
plainly ns though in an aquarium, and
actually distinguish the separate scales
on the fish. The sun shining through
this water makes the most beautiful
colors, like diamonds. All the colors of
the rainbow can l>e seen, and where
there is grass on the bottom, as there is
in some places, it is of the purest green,
and the green blends with rainbow
' colors until the beholder is perfectly
awe-struck, and cannot speak for fear of
breaking the spell. It is hard to break
away from the scene, and one wishes he
could stay for weeks. There are huge
catfish swimming around, looking as
though they might be a yard away, they
are so plain, but they may lie twenty
feet down. The springs form a river
which flows for eight miles before it
reaches the Oklawaha, and all of that
distance people stand on the decks of
the boat and gaze into that beautiful
water, and see the fish swimming around.
Here will be a school of cattish, black
and saucy, some weighing fifty pounds,
there a school of a hundred garfish with
their long biMs, playing about, paying
no attention to the steamer, but acting
as though they were on exhibition.
That eight miles is the most fascinating
1 ride in the world. Those who visit
1 Florida and fail to take the Oklawaha
i trip make the greatest mistake in the
world.”

Thebe are 20 persons in the United

The inhabitants of St. Petersburg

The Government of Canada has re

Attacked by Weasels.
Tnn BRMMtKsnr.E exckiubnce or a
NOHTHEItN PENNSYLVANIA PABMBB.
Delos Lante, an Elk county farmer,
bus been annoyed greatly this winter by
weasels in his poultry yard aud houses,
the bloodthirsty little animals having
killed bis fowls by the score, and defied
all efforts to entrap them. On Saturday
Mr. Lante was walking through a stony
field on his farm, and saw a weasel run
into a big heap of stones piled loosely in
the middle of tla<* field. He had a walk
ing stick, and, going to the stone pile,
began to throw down stones to get at
the weasel or scare it out. Presently a
weasel jumped out and he struck at it
with his ease. It did not run away, but
sprung nt Lante’s thro it—the spot a we i
sel instinctively trios to seize. The fann
er struck at it again, and hit it, but it
returned gamely to the attack, and,
whether in answer to a signal or not the
farmer does not know, weasels began to
iwarm out of the stouo pile on all sides,
and iu a second were springing upon
Lante, climbing nimbly up his clothes,
trying to reach bis face. They bit him
with their sharp teeth, and finding that
he would be unable to keep the savage
little blood-suckers from fastening their
teeth in bis neck without help, he shook
them off as best he could and started at
the Sup of his speed for homo. The
weasels followed him until he scaled the
fence. His hands were bleeding from a
dozen wounds, anil if ho had remained
to fight the weasels they would undoubt
edly have overpowered and killed him.
Iu the afternoon Mr. Lante returned to
the stone pile with two men, two guns,
and a dog. They routed out the wea
sels and killed thirty—a colony which
had been devastating the entire neigh
borhood for a year and more.
An Old Story Retold.
A person of inelegant Leisure, who had
deservedly gained the Reputation of be
ing the Laziest man in Town, became
such a Nuisance to his neighbors that
they determined to bury him unless he
would undertake to Do Something for
Himself. As he resolutely refused to
make an Effort, they placed him in a
coffin and bore him toward the Grave
yard at the Head of a Procession. A
benevolent Farmer, unwilling to see a
Fellow-Creature buried alive, stopped
the Procession and offered to give the
poor Unfortunate a Bushel of Corn if
he might be allowed to live. When this
generous offer was repeated to the would
be Corpse, he partly raised his Head
. out of the Coffin and languidly inquired,
I “Is it shelled ?” The benevolent
I Farmer was obliged to admit that it was
I not shelled. "Then,” replied the Per-
I son of inelegant Leisure, “let the Fn-
I neral go on. ”

A Way Custer Had.
Mrs. Custer in speaking of her hus
band says: “From the first days of
our marriage Gen. Ouster celebrated
every order to move with wild demon
strations of joy. His exuberance of
spirits always found expression in some
boyish pranks before he could set to
work seriously to prepare for duty. As
soon as the officer announcing the order
to move had disappeared all sorts of
wild hilarity began. I had learned to
take up a safe position on top of the
table; that is if I had not already been
forcibly placed there as a spectator.
The most disastrous result of the pro
ceedings was possibly a broken chair
; which the master of ceremonies would
crash, and, perhaps, throw into the
kitchen byway of informing the cook
that good news had come. We had so
few household Gleets that it was some
i thing of a loss when we chanced to bo
in a country where they could not be re
placed. I can see Eliza’s woolly head
, now, as she thrust it through the open
, door to reprimand her master, and say
“chairs don’t grow on trees in these
yere parts, Gen’J.”
“As for me, I was tossed about the
room, and all sorts of jokes were played
upon me before the frolic was ended.
After such participation in the celebra

Irrigation in Egypt.
The ancient wealth of Egypt has ever
been in its crop of corn. As surely as
the seasons come round, so surely has
the Nile risen year by year. From the
earliest time the Valley of the Nile has
been divided by earthen embankments
into a succession of great flats, measur
ing occasionally as much as 100,000
acres. The rising flood is diverted by
a series of short canals into these flats,
I where the water stands two or three feet
; deep until it has soaked the soil and de
' posited its rich alluvial mud. By this
time the Nile has subsided. The drying
mud is rudely plowed and sown, and
four or five mouths after the crop is
reaped. No rain has fallen on it, but
the soil has been sufficiently saturated
I to require no further watering. A rich
; crop is produced, but by this system
i only oue crop in the year, and during
the Hummer months, when, from its
latitude aud temperature, one might ex
pect Egypt to lie yielding subtropical
fruits, the empty fields lie baked aud
parched.
Completely Cured After Nineteen Years’
Agonizing Suffering.
The New York IKorld says: The case
of Mrs. John Gemmill, a highly respected
lady of Milroy, Mifflin county, Pennsyl
vania, presents a striking example of suf
fering and marvelous cure. In the spring
of 1804 she was thrown from a wagon,
injuring her spine. Hhe was a helpless
cripple, unable to walk, from that time
until the spring of 1883. She tried num
erous remedies, but found no relief
during these nineteen years of acute suf
fering. She remained in a partially
piralyzed condition, until having provi
dentially seen the advertisement of St.
Jacobs Oil, the Conqueror of Pain, she
bought two bottles. The oil was applied
to the afflicted parts. Before the second
bottle was exhausted she was able to
walk about, and has been completely
cured.
Pigeons in Egypt
Miss Sartorius, in her book on the
Soudan and Egypt, says : "Every vil
lage has its pigeon houses, looking like
great mud cones, and iu the evening the
owners go out and call them in. But
when a man wants to get extra pigeons,
instead of calling them he frightens the
pigeons away. They do not understand
this, keep circling above, and swoop
down now and then toward their
houses. Other pigeons, seeing this
commotion, join them, aud as soon as
the man sees there are enough he hides.
The whole of the birds, old aud new,
then go into the house, and the man re
turning shuts them in. This would be I
a fine business if it were not that all of
them do the same thing, and, therefore,
each gets caught in his turn. They
know this perfectly well, but no Egyp
tian fellah could resist the temptation
of cheating his neighbor.”

What can be more disagreeable, more dis

who is troubled with catarrh, and has to keep
coughing and clearing his or her throat of the

Suffering Womanhood.
Too much effort cannot be made to bring
o the attention of suffering womanhood the
great value of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Com ound as a remedy for the diseases of
women, and perhaps nothing is more effec
tual than the testimony of those who Lave
been cured by it. Such an one is the wife of
General Barringer, of Winston, N. C., and
we quote from the general’s letter as follows:
“Dear Mrs. Pinkham: Please allow me to add
my testimony to the most excellent
qualities of your Vegetable Compound. Mrs.
Barringer was treated for several years for
what the physicians called Leucorrhea and
Prolapsus Uteri combined. I sent her to
Richmond, Va., where she remained for six
months under the treatment of an eminent
physician without any permanent benefit.
She was induced to try y.ur medicine aud
after a reasonable time commenced to itn
jirove and is now able to attend to her busi
ness and considers herself fully re teced.''
[General Barringer is the proprietor of the
American Hotel, \\ iiuton, N. C., and is
widely known.)
