that we up-country people do
“°t kuow how to eat nnnU The
Land in sight,” and soon tbe deck was
crowded with passengers, eagerly gazing
toward the eastern horizon, where
they knew must lie the Boutbern ex
tremity of own. American continent.
Soon there appeared a distant stretch of
low-lying beach, fringed with appar
ently a stunted verbage; but as our
vessel approach tbe shore these “bushes'*
developed into towering cocoanut trees
and palms. Our ship glided into a
pretty little harbor, guarded by an im
posing fortress, and we anchored at the
docks of Key West. Before the boat
was moored, a loud burnt of music
broke upon our ears, and the welcom
ing strains of “Dixie” filled the tropi
cal air. At this instant the stars and
stripes were unfurled from the mast
head of the “Olivette,* ’ and the deafen
ing cheer from the shore was answered
by a genuine rebel yell and a tiger from
the Georgia boys on the boat. There
was a rush down the gang plank,' and
our party fell iuto the welcoming arms
of . hundreds of hospitable citizens of
this famous island, who had been pa
tiently waiting for three long hours the
arrival of the representatives of the
Fourth Estate from the Empire State of
tlie South. There was more music
from one of the finest bands in Ameri
ca—their instruments alone costing
$5,000—when our party were captured
by the Key Westers—and they sur
rendered, too, without asking terms.
Carriages were in waiting, and we
were soon being driven over the city,
and shown the sights.
Key West is built upon an island
three miles loug and a mile broad, and
is only a short distance from the
extreme southern limits of the United
States. This island is a coral rock,
formed bv these minute insects. We
have read of the pearly gates, but here
you find in reality coral streets—for
every thoroughfare is paved with this
valuable article. They are as smooth
and hard as if laid with blocks of mar
ble.
The city of Key West numbers 27,000
inhabitants, and as its principal busi
ness is cigar manuiacturing, a large
proportion of its inhabitants are labor
ers. The streets are bordered with the
coeoanut, that were gazed upon with
wonder by our pilgrims. These trees
attain great height, and their trunks are
sleek and browu until within ten or
fifteen feet of the top. where they are a
rich green, their summits being sur
mounted with fringed leaves ten feet or
more long, while to the trunk clings
clusters of green nuts—at the time of
our visit from the size of a man’s fist
to his head. The cocoanut, when first
gathered, is enclosed in a thick gieeu
shell, formed of a fibre, that is cut away.
Coral and apunge fishing are other
interesting industries at Key West,
and I regret that I did not liave time to
investigate them. The most beautiful
specimens of sea shells and coral were
offered for sale on the streets at a mere
song, but our party delayed tlieir pur
chases until tlieir return trip, when
they were not in a condition or spirit
to engage in any other avocation than
casting their bread, etc., upon the
waters.
I have in my varied experience met
with a great deal of kindness and Hospi
tality ; but the people.of Key West, is in
this respect, will carry off' the palm. It
seetns that the whole city had conspired
to paint a green spot on the memory of
we Georgians, and label it Key West
The city and all it coutained.was turned
overto ils. We were feasted, fondled
and earessed; gorged with dainties
saturated with champagne, and then
dried with tbe most fragrant cigars
We received without asking, and every
door was opened to welcome us without
knocking. Even the old fort here—gar
risoned by a single soldier and tlie only
fortress in tbe South over which the stars
and bars of the Confederacy never floated
—was brought into requisition to add to
tlie interest of our visit.
At last the hour for departure from
these kind friends arrived, and it was
with deep regret and reluctance that
we bade Key West and its whole-souled
people good-hye. The band was at tbe
ship to waft our party on their journey
with strains of the sweetest music, and
with loud cheers from the shore for
Georgia and her press, and from the
ship-for Ke/ West and fyer citizens, did
vve take our leave.’ • rjr

STABBEDTODEATH.
A TRAGEDY NEAR SHERIFF WIER’S
LAST NIGHT.
New York, April 5.—[Special.]—A
romance of Italian love and bate, a
faithless wife, a vengeful husband and
a mighty lueky lover was told to-day in
the General Session before Recorder
Smith. The husband made the wife
fire at her lover with bullets steeped in
garlic, according to a superstition
among the Italian peasants that to steep
bullet in garlic puts its effectiveness
beyond all doubt. The tale was told in
the trial 1 of Concetto Rosita, a rosy
cheeked, plump, young Italian woman,
with a string of variegated beads about
her rounded, tawny throat, and every
color of the rai nbovr in her attire. Her
Shining ebony-black hair was confined
in a knot upon the back of her head and
golden dagger pierced through tlie
knot. She was tried upon an indict
ment charging her with assault in tlie
first degree in firing a loaded pistol
twice at the head of Guiseppe Alianello,
a trim young Italian with thick curling
hair and the moustache of an operatic-
tenor.
Alianello testifiedithat as he stood up
on the stoop of the house at 70)4 James
street, where he lived, on the morning
of March 2, Concetta llosita, who lived
at 17 James street, and was the wife of
his former friend, Pepita Rosita, ap
proached tiie stoop and said that she
jad something to tell him. As he lean
ed forward to listen she pointed a pistol
at his head and fired twice. The bul
lets whistled past his ear.
Under cross-examination, Lawyer
Westerfield, for the defense, drew out
that Concetta Rosita and the witness
were very good friends in Italy and that
he bad boarded with her husband and
herself in this city until a few days be
fore the shooting, when he had been or
dered out of *he house by the husband.
Policeman John Canavan corrobora
ted Alianello about the shooting, which
be chanced to see, but he thought that
Concetta Rosita fired three shots in
stead of two. Then Assistant District-
Attorney Jerome, the i proseenter,
rested. The defendant testified in her
own behalf through the official inter
preter.
A Negro In a Difficulty Fatally Cuts
Another—a Day of Negro Fights
Among Athens Negroes.
Last night about 9:30 o'clock Athens
was the scene of a fatal tragedy.
Ben Langston got into a difficulty
with Wash Moore near Sheriff Weir’s,
wiiere he was stabbed three times in
the breast and abdomen.
It is not thought that he can live.
Dr. Steedley was vailed in, and the
negro carried to Sheriff Woir’s lot, but
it is-said that he cannot recover.
Moore has fled to parts unknown,
but the police are on his track, and will
use every endeavor t > catch him.
Langstop was doing very well, under
the circumstances, at a late hour last
night.

A party of negro men and wo
men went out to Madison county,
where they held a picnic between haul

crowd got drunk and the fun began,
and iu earnest, too. Knives, sticks and
everything,ftvere promiscuously dying
around, and tho crowd was a badly bat

city.
Loney Appleby, was rousing drunk,
played a promiscuous part in the dis

Hattie Haygood. They were going out
in a wagon at tbe time.
"When the picnicking grounds were
reached, much fun a as had.

of the fighting.
Cora Stanford began insulting Annie

They had a tough row for awhile.

which Pledger did not like, and forth

We cannot house the lambs end make
them stay in out of the rain. If we
did we would cause tlieir death, ns they
prefer the rain and grass to shelter. The
way to accommodate and pleaso them
all Is to have open shelters in their lots
so that they can go in and out as fancy
leads them. The shelters need not be
either fancy or oostly and mtT be con
structed of cheap and waste material, so
that they are just high enough and
broad enough to keep out the rain is all
that Is necessary.
I differ with the sheep about this mode
of living, and I think it would be better
for their health to keep out of tbe rain
and keep their wool dry. They prefer to
do otherwise; and when I would attempt
to enforce my ideas they fall off, become
filthy and dieoff, so I let them have their
own way and they keep fat and do well.
keep the open shelter in their run, and I
presume, in the case of a northern bliz
zard, tbe more sensible would take refuge
under the shelter. A wood’s lot and a high
hill seem to be the favorite resort of the
sheep. I suppose if the farmer kept but
small flock for family use (eight or ten)
and brought them up about the barn of
nights they would soon prefer a shelter,
and a few doubtless would thrive and do

From my observation they think more

renter or otherwise, should keep a few
sheep tor his own family pse at least.
With a little trouble he could keep the
dogs from them, if not otherwise pre
pared, by bringing them into or adjoln-

should-not Ignore and give np his sheep
because the dogs occasionally kill a few.
No use to “cut off the nose to spite the

they need the wool, and they should
have it, dog or no dog. Well, yon say,
you do not wish to offend yonr neighbor
by killing his dog for killing your sheep.
Your neighbor wonkl never care a cent
and never say a word about it if you
would go along about your own business
and say nothing about killing the dog
yourself; but, as sore as sunshine, if you
go about the neighborhood bragging and
talking about killing yonr neighbor’s dogs
you will have the last one of every

An electric wire fence for stock is rap
idly coming into use in the east. It is
actually an electric fence, the wires of
which are constantly charged with a cur
rent of electricity, produced by a gene
rator and distributed on the wires by a
switch board. Whenever any animal
touclica these charged wires a shock Is
received, which frightens but does not
injure it in any degree. Tbe cost of
charging a thousand miles of this fence
is said to be only $10 per year. Water

this contrivance.—Field and Farm.

Dr. M. Basboar, ot Trinidad, Colo.,
writes: Tbe present distress of the farm
ers of the west is dne to credit; any man
who habitually buys on credit will be
ruined. It is a system tiiat always bring9
trouble in its train, and the farmers of
tlie west are its greatest patrons. They
can never become successful until they
quit it. No man can become successful
until he quits bad habits of finance. A
man’s money affairs are his vital inter
ests; It they are not promptly attended
to he will fail. A man who bays more
than he can pay for, and is known as
slow pay, is setting fire to his own house.

Point* ot Interest.
One industry greatly neglected in this
country is the breeding of large, strong
mules. The fanner who would go into
this systematically could get good prices
for all be could raise. Tbe animals are
in demand wherever there is heavy grad
ing, railroad or otherwise, and in mining
operations and elsewhere. Northern
farmers neglect the honest mule sadly.
Few know how profitable lie is, both for
farm work at home and for selling.
At a late Kentucky sale 400 horses
brought an average of $585 a head.
Not long since a dealer shipped eighteen
horses from a station in Pennsylvania to
Newark, N. J., all in one car. Ventilated
cars were expensive, new fangled de
vices, and this economical man sent the
horses in an unventilated one. When the
wnlmnln readied Newark fifteen of them
were dead—had been suffocated. It was
hard on the horses, but it served the
