Irish League Proclaimed—The Govern,
meat Attacked—Riot la Ireland.
Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland,
announced in the House of Commons
that the government had proclaimed the
Irish National League. The Govern¬
ment had thus taken the power conferred
upon them by that statute to prohibit
and suppress the League. The Pall Mall
Gazette very vigorously attacks the gov¬
ernment party for adopting in the House
of Commons the Earl of Cadogan’s
amendment to the Irish Land bill relat¬
ing to town parks. The Gazette urges tho
Liberals to revolt against the govern¬
ment’s Irish policy in the House of Com¬
mons, to obstruct the passage of supplies
measures, and tlius force dissolution.
Mr. Parnell, said that the action of the
government in proclaiming the League
was considering a gratuitous insult to the
Irish, the present condition
of Ireland. It was merely a move to
cover the weakness of the land bill. If
the bill did not protect tenants from

said of it, a tactical mistake. Till he
spoke, the great majority of Englishmen dead
regarded and the tunnel humorous scheme as view of and Sir
buried took a
Edward Watkins’s fit fill effort at resur¬
rection. Mr. Gladstone’s language re¬
vives their fears. There are large num¬
bers of Englishmen who consider
the question under the whether channel a tuunel considerably shall be
made as
more vital than the question whether
Ireland shall have home rule. The effect
of Mr. Gladstone’s uncalled-for profession
of faith in this scheme will be to alienate
the votes of such Englishmen.
STEAMER I.OST.
The steamship City of Montreal, the
oldest vessel in the service of the Inman
Line, bound from Baltimore, Md., to
London, England, was logt in mid-ocean.
She was an iron screw steamer of 4,495
gross 'ons, had nine bulkheads, and was
equipped with compound engines of COO
horse-power, She measured 432 feet
over all, was 44 feet in moulded width of
beam, irml 3(5 feet deep from spar deck
to keel. She was built in 1871 at Pat¬
rick, on the Clyde, near Glasgow, by
Messrs. Tod & McGregor. "When new
she was one of the finest boats on the
ocean ferry, but her speed was not great,
and for some years past slio has
been kept in reserve as an extra
boat, for use when one of the more
modern vessels of the line was laid up.
She originally ha 1 fine accommodations
for 200 cabin passengers, but of late
years, as ou her last trip, carried only in¬

QUARTETTE OF ACCIDENTS.
Engineer’s Fatal Misapprehension—Attempt
to Derail a Train to Rob It.
Baltimore Emigrant train No. 83, going on the
& Ohio Railroad, ran into a
freight train at the Easton siding, twenty
miles east of Wheeling, W. Yu. A. F.
Smith, engineer of the emigrant train,
and Isaac Arbuthnot, fireman, were in¬
stantly killed. The engineer and fireman
of the freight train were only slightly in¬
jured. Fifteen of the emigrants are
seriously, but none were fatally hurt.
Smith and Arbuthnot lived in Wheeling
where they have families. The accident
was the result of a misapprehension of
orders cm the part of the engineer of the
freight train, who thought lie had the
just right-of-way and pulled out of the siding
as the emigrant train came up. The
Baltimore & Ohio express train which
left Pittsburg, Pa., jumped the track at

and baggage cars, which went over an

jumping, the only person hurt being the
fireman, who broke his leg. A passen¬
ger train on the Peoria, Decatur & Evans¬
ville Railroad was derailed near Salt
creek, Mo. The engine and all the cars
left the rails while going forty miles an
hour. Fortunately, the cutire train re¬
mained on the grade and came to a stand
still, after bumping on the ties two hun¬
dred feet. Search was made for the
cause of the accident and was discovered.
The fish plates and spikes had been re¬
moved from the rails. In weeds on the
bank a crowbar and other tools were
found, with which the work had been
done. There is no doubt the purpose of
the fiends was to rob the train. A freight
train following close behind was stopped
a few yards from the derailed passenger
train, and thus what might have been a
horrible disaster was averted. On the

TOM WOOLFOLK’S CASE.
A Fair of Bloody Socks Found Inn Wok—
The Frisoner’s Agitation.
It was decided to clean out the well
on the Woolfolk place near Macon, Ga.,
the residence of tue late Capt. "Woolfolk,
who was so brutally murdered with his
family. After going down pretty deep
a pair of socks was found all blood
stained, which wero identified as the
socks commonly worn by Tom "Woolfolk.
This adds another link to the chain which
is already drawing about tho neck of the
murderer. The searchers hoped to find
his pistol in the well, but they failed,
as it had been either sold or pawned in
Macon before the deed was committed.
Shortly after the discovery of the mur¬ and

SAVED FROM DEATH.
The Boat from tho Eity of Montreal Res¬
cued by n Cicrmnn Vessel.
The City of Montreal’s missing boat
has been picked up and the seven pas¬
sengers and six members of the crew,
who were iu it, are safe and well. The
rescue was made by a German vessel,
named Mathilde, which arrived at Fal¬
mouth, England, with the thirteen sur¬
vivors on board. The survivors say, that
on the first day after leaving the steamer,
they experienced very rough weather.
They hud a plentiful supply of bread and
meat, but very little water. As a conse¬
quence they suffered badly from thirst.
The weather was hot, and this greatly
contributed to their discomfort, The
rescued men say that when their boat
left the burning steamer, there were fif¬
teen persons on board. Finding it too
crowded, two persons jumped aboard an¬
other boat. There was only half a keg
of water iu the boat, and that was bad.
There was no sail aboard and no means
for signalling passing vessels. The boat
was nearly swamped twice and the men
had a hard struggle to keep her afloat by
bailing. Two days after leaving the
steamer, sighted another vessel and pulled City
toward it aud found that it was the
of Montreal, still burning. They tried
to board her to obtain more water, but
,her plates were too hot.

A FEW IMPORTANT HINTS FROM
VERY PRACTICAL PEOPLE.
Houiethlsg About Plowing—Fine Bntterr

Fowls, and Chicken Cholera*.
PLOW DEEP.
There is much truth in the statement
that the soil contains a large amount of
plant food locked up. How to get it,
how to make it available, is the greatest
practical problem. Draining and plow

Very good, so far as they go. To
originally rich, but exhausted by injudi¬
cious cultivation, rest, plowing thorough in of plow- veg¬
etable matter, deep and original h *
itig will bring back much of its
fertilization, but however very large th)b'
original quantity of plant food, it is cletfr,
that constant removal of a part will event
ually diminish the stock. The part which
is available, is evidently removed very
soon; and the question arises, which is
cheaper to restore these in some available
form, or to unlock those in the soil which
are unavailable. The problem is not fully
solved. The probabilities are that a
combination of both methods, is most
economical and pays best.— Atlanta
Southern Farm.
SUPERIOR BUTTER,
That as fine butter can be produced in
the South as anywhere else,has been dem
onstrated beyond a doubt. A lady friend
of ours, who lived till over twenty years
of age in the best butter country in
world, had a sample of butter, kiebdr
presented to her, made on the farm ox
Mrs. J. D. Tillman, Fayetteville, Tenn. ;
and she stated that it was the finest but
ter she had tasted this side of the Atlan
tic ocean. That it reminded her ot the
beautiful Scotch butter made up without
any salt in it, and known there as “fresh
country,” to distinguish it from the Dan
isli, Irish and American salted butters,
also sold in the British markets. Mrs.
Tillman has a herd of pure Jerseys and
her butter in fibre, color, aroma and
other qualities is equal to any we have
ever seen .—Atlanta Southern Farm.
COTTON PICKING.

hand is by far the production expensive opera¬
tion involved in tho of raw
cotton. Moreover, the cost of nearly
every operation, except picking, may be
reduced in proportion as the yield and per
aero if greater. Much has been said
written of late years about the importance
of gathering the farmers’ cotton vernacular. free from "While trasfy it to is

portance that the crop be * 'gone over” as
often as the quantity open at one time is

and with a limited picking force, celerity

the weight of cotton gathered per hand
per day are the points to be observed.
ABOUT POULTRY.
Raising Turkeys:—A successful turkey
raiser gives the following most excollent
plan for raising turkeys: In the first
place give two grains of black pepper
when first taken off the nest, then feed
them on custard made of eggs and milk
(no sugar) until about two weeks old.
After this give them egg corn bread
soaked iti milk, alternated with scalded
clabber, pouring off the whey.
Game Fowls:—Mr. Dwight, interest in of chicken- Priva¬
teer, S. C., takes great !
raising; he has been experience raising them is, for
three years, and his that
game chickens are superior to the other
breeds, because they aro less subject to
cholera. Last winter when this disease
visited his chickens, tho game and half
came were the last to die. In,thfr-sprifig
of tho year he raises but .hi*-game chicken*
off to themselves, keeps a game hen
or two and game rooster with his com¬
mon breed of chickens, and in this way
he has pure game aud mixed game. In
the fall he keeps all tho chickens in the
yard and sells tho eggs. He plants rye
for his chickens, and never feeds them on
corn, except in tho winter season, when
the ground 19 hard and they are not abl®
to get anything. Mr. Dwight 6ays that
for table use and eggs he would never
swap game for any fancy breed, and he
thinks it would be well for every one to
have a game rooster with their chickens.
Chicken Cholera Cure:—Copperas^
alum, sulphur, still rosin and cayenne
pepper, equal parts, pulverize and then
mix it. For a dose, take a tablespoonful day, to
in a gallon of meal, throe times a
stop it. Then feed the fowls on it once
a week, to prevent it. At the same time
it is a good plan to make white oak bark
tea for them and put it in troughs for
them to drink, except the sick ones, and
you can pour it down their throats.—
Southern Cultivator.
Poultry Breeding:—The sclimate of
Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama, in fact
all of the Southern States which lie up
high and dry, is everything that could be
desired for poultry raising, and the only
wonder is that the farmers of the
South have been so long in finding this
out. But the old adage which says,
“better late than never,” will apply in
their case, and let us. brother fanciers,
go to work with a vim and show the
Northern breeders that we can equal, if
not excel, them in the poultry business.
We now have at least five, if not more,
good, healthy poultry associations in the
South, with more in prospect. Also, let
us lend a helping liana whenever and
wherever we can, and see that the coin
ing winter poultry shows in the South
are made successful .—Atlanta Cultivator*
