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.

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¬ termediate and steerage passengers. She carrie 1 when burned, a miscellaneous cargo, which included 2.000 bales of cot¬ ton, and was commanded by Cupt. Fran¬ cis Land.

That the people of Chicago should have given expression to these kind sentiments, not only toward the Anglo-Saxon race in these realms, tmt also toward myself, is to me a source of much gratification, and sustains me in the belief that the friendship anti good will which now cxisls between the two countries, and which I have always en¬ deavored to promote, are of a real aud enduring character.” Mr. Collier was driven to Cowes in the royal carriage.

Archibald Forbes, the well known war correspondent, who was to lecture in this country this fall, cabled his manager from England that his health was wrecked and all his engagements must be cancell ed. Two men, Levree and LaFleur, accom¬ panied by three ladies and four children, were crossing the river near Bouchervillc, Canada, when their boat upset. The men swam ashore, but the women and chil¬ dren were drowned. An affair arose between Belgian and English fishermen at Ostend, and gendarmes were summoned to quell the disturbance. The gendarmes charged upon the mob with bayonets and seri ou ly wounded many. Thos.

Cooper Institute, iu New York, was crowded with socialists, who met to dc nounee Henry George and his party. Red flags were abundant, and the audience was noisy and violent. The resolutions repudiate George and his platform. The Governor-General of Cuba re¬ cently made a personal inspection of the custom house, and the result has been the discharge of all the employes. Tel¬ egrams from Spain announce that the government lias approved the governor’s I action. I)r. N. A. Randolph, professor of physiology at the University of Pennsyl¬ vania, was drowned while bathing at Atl.intic city. Though a good swimmer, the stroug undertow exhausted him. His wife, who was bathing at the same time, was almost drowned. A vast assemblage of spectators wit¬ nessed the successful launching at Cairo, Ill., of the first of the massive caissons weighing 300 tons, to be sunk in the Ohio River at that place in connection with the erection of the Illinois Central Railroad bridge.

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 Hermitage station, six miles cast of Cou nellsville, badly wrecking the engine and and baggage cars, which went over an embankment. One passenger coach was injured. derailed, but none of the passengers were The train men escaped by 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.

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 ders, life-like a photographer took the horrid a large which picture of Tom Wolfolk in scene, his was shown cell at the Atlanta jail by a fellow-prisoner. but IIis eyes came in contact with it, rested there but a second only. Then they rolled quickly away and about the cell. As quickly, however, they re¬ turned to the picture, mid then away again. A fascination drew his eyes to¬ wards it as rapidly as some unexplained fascina¬ feeling carried them away.

The tremble soon be¬ came a shake, and raising both hands to his face as if to shut out the horrible bloody vision, he turned upon his heels, saying: “Oh, my God! that is horrible!” 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. BRITISH OFFICER DISGRACED. Between sixty and seventy sail* of American fishermen arrived at Sours, P. E.

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 mg under vegetable matter are suggested. soil# Very good, so far as they go.

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.

Cotton-picking by 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 use desirable to house the cotton as free from leaf and hull as may be, it is of first im¬ portance that the crop be * 'gone over” as often as the quantity open at one time is sufficient to enable hands to do a fair day’s work. In the interest of economy, and with a limited picking force, celerity of movement, nimblemess of fingers, and 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* fit THE RICK CROP. y*m Reports received at Charleston, B. from the immediate rice field* r South Santee indicate that the dan not general.
