Let tor from Nulllvmu’* lalnud.
Dear SuH|’: As.l sent you a short ac
count of our famous “ Long Branch ” of
the South during the festive season, when
all went merrily and pleasantly, and surf
batlyng. etc., were in their glory, I will
now give you the Island in another phase.
It is autumn to you in the up-country, a
season of busy gathering in of the fleecy
staple, and no perceptible change in the
weather. To us on the seaboard, it is
vastly different. Now is the season for the
much dreaded equinoctial gales, when old
Boreas rises in his wrath and lashes old
Ocean to fury. What a marvelous change
in so short time ! In the place of a gentle,
slow, undulating swell, which lay placidly
under the sun like a sea of glass, we now
have —
“ In the v ini tat ion of the wimlx,
Who take the rutfmii billows by the top.
Curling their lnoiiNtroiut head*' and hanging them
With deafning clamours iu the alippery cloud*."
Boats of all description are no longer
seen with all sail set moving slowly along,
as if conscious of the admiration they ex
cited ; but now we see them scudding un
der bare poles and running for the safe
harbor. 'I he beech, which presented such
a beautiful picture, is now left Jesolate,
tlte young ladies not fancying to meet the
rude old Boreas—and as for the sterner
sex, the sweeter and more congenial socie
ty of the (air sex is now exchanged for the
monotonous calling oft’ of “ bills ” to the
“ entry clerk,” the routine of selling and
the music (?) of the trap-hammer of the
busy porter.
Many families who caine from a distance
have already left the exhilarating sea. and
returned home, well pleased with their
summer visit. The city will soon receive
back her own who always go into winter
quarters, and the Island will be left to the
guardianship of the grim old Fortress all
that will be left of the gay butterflies of
the summer season. My young friends
say they will regret it. but to a (confound
ed. as you will have it) bachelor like my
self it is perfectly immaterial where tho.
dear creatures are ; as the old story can be
as well told in the narrow boundaries of a
city parlor as on the beech with the invig
orating sea breeze and the wide sweep of
the boundless sea. I am in hopes some
time not far distant of hearing some fair
angler exultingly exclaim, “ I have dang
ling on ray line that obstinate old
Drum Fish.”

Southern Husbandman.
“ You are right mister, and it ain't hard
to do nor long a doing. Just get one or
two good sows, keep ’em inside the fences
so that they can’t mix with bad company,
push the pigs from the word go, and always
put ’em in the scalden’ barrel ’fore they’re
twenty months old. I bought me a num
ber one sow—hadn't another hog on the
place—and 1 raised meat to spare the first
year. The man that tries to raise the
woods full of hogs, raises ’em for the
buzzards.”
“ Do you raise sheep ?”
“ 1 raise sheep, mister; and sheep raisin’
js what I call killen’ a whole drove of birds
with one small stone. I raise sheep for the
wool; 1 raise sheep for the mutton i I raise
sheep for the increase ; I laise sheep to
spade up the tough turf with their sharp
huffs; I raise sheep to eat bushes and
yearbs that no other brute beast would
touch, and manufacture ’em into fertilizers
that hold their richness spite of the rain
and sunshine.”
** llow about the dogs?”
“ A dog on Pumpkinvine, mister, totes
a pass, or goes with his owner, else he
don’t travel fur.”
‘‘You don’t need a ‘dog law,’ then?”
“ We’r a doglaw unto ourselves, mister.”
“I reckon you follow the advice of the
newspapers and plant corn.”
“ We’re pretty much in the habit of fol
lorerin’ our own advice on Pumpkinvine,
mister. Not that we slight what we see
in the papers, if it s sensible and we can
see the reason of it. Hut 1 plant corn,
mister ; I plant potatoes ; and 1 plant oats
and wheat; and I plant sorghum; and 1
plant goobers; and I plant turnips and
pumpkins; and 1 plant artichokes for the
nigs to root in the fence corners and short
branch bends; and I plant peas every
where. Some of these crops is shore to
hit, and so I never make a clean miss.
When they all hit. it will be like a land
flowin’ with milk and honey.”
“ I see you still raise cotton.”
“ Till something else is started to bring
Mississippi farmers money, regular and
shore, 1 expect to raise cotton, mister.
We’re bound to have money, mister it s
money makes the mar go. Only lam t
goin’ to raise cotton to buy corn, ami Hour
and meat and hosses, and fertilizers.
‘•And mules?”
‘‘Don’t talk of mules, mister, lhe
mule was twin brother to the nigger slave ,
when congress abolished one it ought to ve
abolished t’other too—both or none. Hut
speakin’ of cotton, I’ve changed my plan
of raisin’ cotton.”
“IIow?” .
“I used to plant ten acres and gather
two bales, now I plant four acres an
gather three. This year I am hopin to
get four.”
“ How do you manage that. _
“ It would be a long story, mister, and
as my road will soon turn off, I H just tell
it in two or three words : I manure and
plow, and hoe. and don't slight my wor .
“ Hut what if it is a bad crop year."
“ There ain’t so many bad crap years,
mister, as there is crap-raisers. Did you
ever know a man’s brag acre of co on
one he planted for a brag acre all to i >e
on some good spot —to make a clean ai
ure ?”
“ I don't know that I ever did.”
“Jess so. Well, the way is to plant
few, and make them all brag acres.
“ But what if the worms take it."
“ Worms ain’t apt to take the bottom
crap, mister, if its well up to tune, e
bottom crap don’t shed much generally
speakin’ 'tl.out you work it on a wrong
plan ; and the yearly frosts don USech the
bottom crap. I work for the bottom crap,
from the word go. Cotton is like pig •

and the St. Louis mills, jot ."

“Not to speak of, we don’t mister.
Started a mill over on Pumpkinvine again.
Jack Smith has. and we clubbed together
and sot Hilly Ilobkins up with a black
smith shop right there, so as we could go
to the shop and mill at the same time.
Billy always had such a hankerin’ for
work in’ iron ; and Jack, he never could
stand the sunshine well, poor fellow?—and
didn't like to work on cloudy days. He
makes a splendid miUer. though. To keep
Biliy ngoin’ we all hands agreed not to buy
a Yankee tool that he could make at home,
no matter how cheap it was, nor how
good.”
“Does the mill make nice flour?”
“ It makes good flour, mister, and that's
better. It’s got good rocks and good
power, and Jake knows how to manage it,
and so it grinds the wheat well ; and Jake
hain’t got no bolt to sift the life out ■< it.
YVe have it ground a few bushels at a time,
and take it home and sifter, when we’ve a
a mind to we sift it again through a finer
sifter. It ain’t as white as snow, mister,
but made with fat and buttermilk, it makes
biscuits—none of your starch cakes, but
biscuits you can taste, and biscuits you
can feel all through your muscles and bones
when you've fed on ’em a week or two.
My road turns off right here. Come over
on Pumpkinvine after harvest, and spend a
week with us, and eat some of them bis
cuits, and the thousand and one other good
things the old woman will fix up for you.
If I don’t talk you to death, it will put
some flesh on them slim shanks—Gee.

Get along !—l’d like "ave forgot to tell you,

.Snlpliur us it Cure Tor Diphtheria.
A correspondent of a Yictoria, Austra
lia, paper gives the following as a cure for
diphtheria:
“ Should you or any of your family be
attacked with diphtheria, do not be alarm
ed. as it is easily and speedily cured without
a doctor. When it was raging in England
a few years ago, I accompanied Dr. Fields
on his rounds to witness the so-called won
derful cure, he performed, while the pa
tients of others were drooping on all sides.
The remedy to be so rapid must be simple.
All he took with him was powder of sul
phur and a quill, and with these he cured
every patient without exception. He put
a teaspoooful of flour of brimstone into a
wine glass of water and stirred it with his
finger instead of a spoon, as the sulphur
does not readily imalgamate with water.
When the sulphur was well mixed he gave
it as a gargle, and in ten minutes the pa
tient was out of danger. Brimstone kills
every species of fungus in man, beast and
plant in a few minutes. Instead of spitting
out the gargle he recommended the swal
lowing of it. In extreme cases in which
he had been called just in the nick of time,
when the fungus was too nearly closing to
allow the gargling, he blew the sulphur
through a quill into the patient’s throat and
after the fungus had shrunk to allow of it,
then the gargling. He never lost a case
with diphtheria. If a patient cannot gar
gle, take a live coal of fire, put it on a shovel
and sprinkle a spoonful or two of flour of
brimstone upon it at a time; let the suf
ferer inhale it, holding the head over it,
and the fungus will die. If plentifully
used the whole room may be filled almost
to suffocation. The patient can walk about
in it inhaling the fumes with the doors and
windows shut.”
A gentleman who has had some oppor
tunities of knowing, says that when the
sulphur is blown in the throat through a
quill, it is apt to strangle. This is the only
objection urged against the remedy.
A Meun Man.
Some gentlemen were talking about
meanness, yesterday, writes “Eli Per
kins,” when one said he knew a man on
Lexington avenue who was the meanest
man in New York.
“ How mean is that?” I asked.
“ Why, Eli,” he said, he is so mean that
he keeps a five cent piece with a string tied
to it to give to beggars, and then when
their backs are turned he jerks it out of
their pockets. !”
“ Why this man is so confounded mean,”
continued the gentleman, “that he gives
his children ten cents apiece every night for
going to bed without their supper, but du
ring the night, when they were asleep, lie
went up stairs, took the money out of their
clothes, and then whipped them in the
morning for losing it!”
“Doeshe do anything else?”
“ Yes, the other day I dined with him
and I noticed the poor little servant-girl
whistled all the way up stairs with the des
sert, and when 1 askea the mean old scamp
what made her whistle so happily, he said :
“ Why, I keep her whistling so she can’t
eat the rasins out of the cake.”
Couldn’t Man tty e the Pantaloons.
A woman out in Polk county becoming
converted to the doctrines of Dr. Mary
Walker, took advantage of her husband’s
absence to array herself in his clothes.
She put on the coat first, and ignoring the
buttons, pinned it up from chin down.
Then she put on the vest, back in front,
and toilsomely buttoned it up behind.
That was about three o’clock in the after
noon. At about half-past six her husband
found her seated on the side of the bed in
a disordered room, weeping, herhairdown,
face red, eyes inflamed, and her whole
mental being convulsed with fretful excite
ment. impatience and anger. She held his
Sunday pantaloons in her hands, and all
those three mortal hours she had been try
ing to put them on over her head.
A business that couldn’t succeed without
a striker—the match trade.
HARTWELL, GA., WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 17, 1877.
Tin* Lime Kiln Club.
/Vfroil t'ffe /Yew.
The regular Tuesday Convention of the
Detroit Colored W hito washers was held at
the Central Market yesterday. Brother
Gardner presiding. After the minutes of
the last meeting hail been read, approved
and ordered tiled away in an oyster can,
the hat was passed around for contribu
tions to purchase roller skates for the poor
heathen in Africa. Brother Gardner re
marking, as the hat started on its travel :
“ Gem’lem, please remember dat none
ob us kin take our riches beyond the
grave.” The hat came back empty, and
lie continued :
“ But it ‘pears to me dat dis crowd is
gwine to try mighty hard to do it !’’
Under the head of petitions a communi
cation was received from Jonas White, a
colored resident of Ohio street, asking the
Club to lend him ten dollars to buy lini
ments and other remedies to cure his wife
of a lame leg.
•• De petishun am declared out ob order,”
remarked the President, as be tossed it
into a basket of onions. “ Dis Mr. White
didn’t tile no bond, as dc rules require,
didn’t specify de kind ob lameness what
ails his wife, and wliar’s de proofs dat he
was ebber married at all !”
“And wliar’s de proofs dat dis Club has
any ten dollars to lend?” called a voice,
and the deepest silence reigned for a long
minute.
• The application of Samuel Shorthead for
membership was then presented. Tho ap
plication stated that he wa.; an upright, in
dustrious, cultured gentleman, with a voice
pleasantly pitched, a ready speaker, and a
warm friend of General Howard's plan of
fighting the Indians at twenty-five miles
range.
** Ize a leetle sorry dat he didn’t draw
himself out on de free trade queshun,” re
marked the President, ’‘but Ize satisfied
dat he prove a shinin’ ornament to dis
club. As many ob you’uns as favor de
motion to elect will drop a peeled onion in
dis hat, doze who don’t favor kin stand
ober dar an’ rub your backs agin de post
till de onions am counted.”
It was a clear case in favor of the appli
cant. and the secretary was ordered to no
tify him by postal card to attend the next
meeting and be heeled with his halt dollar
for dues.
** De next business marked down on de
shingle,” remarked the President, “ is de
queshun : * YY'lnit attitood should dis Lime
kiln Club take toward de poor ob Detroit
durin’ de cornin’ spelLob cold weather ?’
Does we stand wid ’em, or agin ’em? Docs
we expect to see’em through, or shall we
let de wolf ob starvation rub all de fur off
his body agin de door? De time hez come
when dis Club lias got to put itself on de
records—on de golden page obde day-book
of local hist’ry. What is de sense ob de
meetin’, and what shall be done?”
Isaac Walpole, a gray-haired gentleman
of many years experience at collecting
fence-rails for winter fuel, rose up and re
plied :
“ I move, Misscr President, dat we re
solve to sympathize wid de poor, and dat
we wish dey was all rich.”
“ I ’sports dat moshun !” called Samuel
Shin. “It expresses de teelins ob dis club
to a dot, an’ it doan’ cost a cent out ob
pocket!”
** Gem’lem. you has hit de nail in de
rniddie,” softly replied the President.
“ Dis club stands ready to sympathize wid
de poor till dey can’t rest, and I declare de
resolushun carried and advise de Secretary
to forward copies to de afflicted relatives
ob de deceased.”
Adjourned.
Ahead of (lie Accident.
Keokuk Constitution.
There was a nervous, fidgety sort of a
lady on the K. &. D. M. passenger train
coming east the other day, and as the cars
pulled up at Monroe, she discovered a lot
of coffins on the platform. She had been
imagining all sorts of disasters on the way
from Des Moines; had seen herself torn to
pieces, the remnants collected and buried,
and had suffered enough real agony to car
ry her through a half dozen railroad acci
dents. The sight of the coffins was the
last straw which broke the back of the
camel—hair shawl she wore, and she re
solved that if she didn’t say something she
should die. Leaning over she grasped a
commercial traveler in the seat in front by
the arm :
“ Young man, what are all those coffins
for?” she asked.
The commercial traveler was busy foot
ing up orders, so he replied briefly :
“ To bur}* people.”
“Yes, but what do they have so many
for?”
“ Unhealthy country —lots of doctors,”
said the drummer.
“ You can’t deceive me, young man.”
said the female in hysterical tones, “ there
lias been an accident.”
The drummer nodded.
“ And lots of people have been killed.”
Another nod.
“ And plenty torn to pieces may be be
yond recognition?”
Nod number three.
“ My good gracious ! and some burned
to death and their remains gathered up in
a scoop shovel!”
Another bob of the drummer’s head.’*
Before she asked the next question she
prepared to faint.
“ Oh, my, I feel—feel —so weak. When
did it happen ?’’
“ About ten years ago,” said the drum
mer as he started for the smoking car.
The woman straightened back in her
seat with a click like unto that made bv
the opening of the blade of a jack knife
which has a still' spring, and made a wild
claw for the conductor who was passing.
She caught him. She held him. She
called his attention to those coffins and
asked what they were to ho used for.
There is only one answer to that question.
The one that drummer gave, and the con
ductor responded in like manner.
“There has been an accident on this
road ?” said the excited female.
“ Not for years—not on tips road," said
the conductor.
“ Y ou are sure ?”
“ Dead sure.”
“ But one is liable to happen.”
“ Yes'tn.”
“ It might happen to the next train be
hind us.”
“ Yes’m,”
“ Oh, thank heaven ! I am just ahead of
that accident.”
And she fell on the conductor’s neck and
wept, and the blushing fellow thought he!
would rather stand seventeen colissionsj
and a blow up. than to pass through the j
smiles and snickers of the rest of the pas
sengers.

The latest convert to President Hayes’
Southern policy is no less a personage than
the celebrated rebel statesmen, Gen llobt.
Toombs, of Georgia, who has ever since
the war boasted that he is notan American
citizen, because of the political disabilities
imposed upon him by the reconstruction
acts. He lias at last, however, become
thoroughly reconstructed, and will at the
coming session of Congress, petition for a
removal of his disabilities, and henceforth
claim citizenship in the American Repub
lic. This course Mr. Toombs ascribes to
the conciliatory and constitutional course
pursued by President Hayes in the admin
istration of the National Government, but
public imagination ascribes his reconstruc
tion to the fact that he would like a scat in
the United States Senate, and with a view
of contesting Senator Gordon’s re-election
he has decided to have his disabilities re
moved. We will be very glad to see Mr.
Toombs once more a citizen of the I nited
States, and are much gratified to learn that
he is at last contented to accept the changed
order of things and go to work under them
as all good citizens have long since done,
but we hope the people of Georgia have
not forgotten the services and patriotism of
Senator Gordon for the past six Jyears.
while Mr. Toombs was growling and com
plaining over the inevitable. We trust
that Senator Gordon will be unanimously
returned to the Senate from Georgia, as an
evidence of the estimation in which his
public services arc held not only in Geor
gia, but throughout the United States.
• SiffiiH of n Prosperous Farmer.
When you see his barn larger than his
house, it shows that he will have large
profits and small afflictions.
When you see him driving his work in
stead of his work driving him, it shows
that he will never be driven from any good
resolutions, and that he will certainly work
his way to prosperity.
When you always see in his wood-house
a sufficiency for three months or more, it
shows that he will be a mord than ninety
days wonder in farming operations and
that he is not sleeping in his house after a
drunken frolic.
When he has a house separate from the
main building, purposely for ashes, and an
iron or tin vessel to transport them, it
shows that he never built his dwelling to
be a funeral pile for his family, and per
haps himself.
When his sled is housed in summer, and
his farming implements covered both win
ter and summer, it plainly shows that he
will have a good house over his head in the
summer of early life and the winter of old
age.
When his cattle are properly shielded
and fed in winter, it evidences that he is
acting according to the Scripture, which
says that “ a merciful roan is merciful to

It is said that the color of the inside of

Cows that produce a high-colored butter
have a largo amount of the secretion, the
inside of the car being of an orange tint.
On the other hand, light-colored butter
makers present a scantily, thin ami pale
yellow secretion, in some cases found only
at the bottom of the ear, while the inside
lining is of a corresponding pale, undefined
color. Every female of the bovine family
has the power of secrotinga certain amount
of this oilv matter. If the quantity ho
normally large, secretion will take place

the skin. As the test is simple and costs
nothing, it cannot fail to prove a useful
auxiliary to the dairyman and farmer in
their selection of rich milkers.
