There was a very heavy rain and thun¬ der storm near here ou last Saturday. Mr. J. J. Williams is at Gailliard at preA tit engaged in shipping wat rmeions. Cotton is opening right along, and we poor fellows will sjon have the backache. The cotton crop of this section has the rust badly, caused, we think, from the excessive rains. The ladies of this section are prepar¬ ing their gardens and plautiug a fall and winter crop of vegetables. The farmer- have bad a very inconven¬ ient season for gathering and saving their fodder. A great many lost nearly their entire crop. I did not write last week because I had a severe sore finger on my right hand. Sore fingers are like boils—the best place for them is on somebody else.

A large number of our people attended the annual S. S. Assocition at Ceres on last Saturday, and report that they had a day of rare pleasure. The occasion was profitable aud enjoyable to all.

We are in the habit of seeing in books of travel and sport very & u r«ing illus¬ trations of the attitudes wild animats as¬ sume when charging their human aggres¬ which, in th“ main and most essential point, arc most incorrect. For instance, the victim's tiger has skull the credit with of smashing in his of his a sledge-hammer-like blow fore paw. The elephant is generally depicted as coming down like a locomotive, with his proboscis extended to its full length; the bison and buffalo charging from a distance of many yards, with their heads and horns loweted; and our ursine friends standing on their hind legs, al¬ ways exposing the fatal white horseshoe on their hearts most To begin with the filidee. I am glad to say that in the few instances in which I have stood a charge my antagonist uever got home; but a relative of mine, who was very badly wounded by a tiger, and several friends,’who have not been only in the mouths of tigers, but of lions, tell me that the animal, to use, perhaps, a homely form of expression, ‘■'came roust baug up against them. expressive ” The description refined is perhaps more bnt I think than in language, conveys the idea of an animal their “hurling” up against you. Iu seizing lions, though prey, with tigers, and I believe the latter I have had no experience, though al¬ most invariably go for the throat, in one or two instances that have come under my notice of animals killed by tigers they have evidently been first ham¬ strung; these, probably, were the work of young and inexperienced tigers. knocked I once saw a man charged and over by a panther, and lie only saved his throat by putting up his arm, which, a> well as his shoulder, the animal grasped with teeth and claws. The relative tc whom I alluded was seized iu a similai manner, and three friends of mine who have been mauled by tigers, and one by a lion, all describe the animal knocking them over by sheer force of weight before tin seizing them. I think, therefore, being knocked over by a paw stroke is t fallacy. anything about Any one who know's elephants must be aware that their trunks, and particularly the tip of the trunk, if the most delicate and sensitive part of the animal, and that he shields it from jujurv by every possible means in his power. It is. therefore, very unlikely that lie would expose it in the act ol charging. My experience, limited it be, Le points to the fact.that an elephant, curls once has made up his mind to charge, up his trunk tight. Before charging, and, in order to get wind of his adver¬ sary, he may indeed extend it, but one* the presence of a foe to be attacked is detected, the proboscis is put out of the way of possible talking harm. of the Indian Bison—I am an¬ imal, bos iquarus— iuk? buff<u«*5$, when they charge, invariably poke their noses up in the air, and commence by running at you with their heads well up, much iD the mauner of domestic cattle, aud only lower their horns when within a few yards of the object of their attentions. This I take to be a mere matter of common sense on the part of the animal, for, if he put his head down, say even forty yards away, he could not possibly see where be was going. wounded, will, indeed, Bears, when hind legs aud dunce often get up on their about from sheer rage, and will also at times do so in order to get a better view of the whereabouts of the enemy, but when they charge, whether it be a man mounted or on foot, they invariably charge on all-fours. In charging, most animals give vent to certain vocal sounds—grunts or roars— is done and this, it is natural to suppose, with a view to terrifying and demoral¬ izing the object they are attacking; in fact, more often than not, it is mere bounce on the animal’s part. I have of¬ ten seen tigers roar when charging who never really meant mischief, and who. when met by a bold front, turned off. No doubt, in the case of their attacking their fellow animals, establishing a ‘-■ink,” and so demoralization, these -oars may prove an aid in bringing their prey within their grasp; but, as a rule, *ir hen engaged in the pursuit of prey the i'llidoc depend principally on their powers of stealthy approach, and only real at the last moment before seizing, •> ith a view to paralyzing morally their intended victim.—[Land aud Water. THE STRIKE ENDED. THE ESOINEEnS REFUSED TO GO OCT AJiD THE KSIGIITS ARE DEFEATED. A dispatch of Tuesday, from New York, says: At the grand Central depot this morning there no longer existed even the semblance of a strike. Passenger trains were coming in and going out with all the appearance of usual regular¬ ity, the inflow and outflow of passengers being as great as ever, and excepting for the presence of an unusual number of po¬ licemen idly standing about the various entrances of the depot, the most careful observer would be unable to perceive tie-up that any lingering indications of the on Friday night threatened to be so for¬ midable. NOTICE! To My Friends and Patrons : I have moved the stock of millinery goods to my store, where I intend selling them at cost, as I wish to close them out before laying in a fall stock. I having bought out the interest of D. H. Wilson in the stock of merchandise, will continue the business and assume all debts and liabilities of the firm of J. B. Wilson & Bro. tf J. B. WILSON. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. A housekeepf.r’s don't*. Don’t allow the broom to stand on the brush end when not in use; hang it on a nail by means of a ring in the top of the handle. Don’t forget that a broom wiil Iast much longer, if, after using, it is dipped in boiling water for a few minutes. Don’t fill the best windows in the family living-room with plants. Don’t neglect to air the house thorough¬ ly every morning. Open opposite doors and windows for five or ten minutes, even if it is stormy. Don’t undertake extra work to give pleasure when you know that you have neither time nor strength for it, aud that, as a result, seme one will be sure to be overtired and cross. Don’t forget, if you are a tali woman, to have your work-table and ironing- board a few inches higher than they are usually made. This little precaution will prevent many a backache. Don’t neglect to have your name plainly painted on all jugs or bottles that are sent to the store- for vinegar, molasses, etc. Then you will be sure to get back your own. sit down Don’t think when you to rest that it is necessary to pick up that un¬ finished mending. Ten minutes’ abso¬ lute rest is worth much to the tired muscles. Don’t allow soiled clothes to remain in the bed-room3. They taint the air and make it impure. Don’t keep for company the best room, the best dishes, and especially the pleasantest smile and most entertaining conversation .—American Agriculturist. THE RAVAGES OF THE BUFFALO-BUG. It is found that few of the usual pre¬ ventives are of any use against the at¬ tacks of this beetle, and for this reason it is a difficult pest to eradicate. Iu some places it has proved so destructive that carpets have to be dispensed with, and in their place mgs are used, as being more conveniently examined. Tallow or tallowed paper placed around ;he edges of the carpet, which are often the parts first attacked, is said to be ef¬ fectual. In many cases the carpets are eut, as if with a scissors, following the Sine of the seams in the floor, and as a remedy for this it has been recommended that the seams be filled during the win¬ ter with cotton saturated with benzine. Kerosene, naphtha or gasoline are offen- five to the beetle as well as benzine, but benzine is perhaps the simplest aud safest preventive in use, le can foe poured from a tin can having a very small spout, it being necessary to use but little. Before tacking down a carpet it should be thoroughly examined, and if possible stcoiped* .If 3r spite oLjirec-pitious 8 carpet is found infested, u wet cloth can fe spread down along the edges, and a hot iron passed over it, the steam thus generated not only killing the beetles and larvtE, but destroying any eggs that may have been laid. Clothing is some¬ times attacked as well as objects of natural history—such as stuffed birds and mammals. It was believed that the beetle must feed on some plant, for in a number of cases it was captured out of doors, and it was finally discovered feeding on the pollen of the flowers of spiraeas, the bee¬ tle living on the plant for a while and then returning to the house to lay its eggs. When this was proved, it was suggested that spiraeas should be planted around houses infested by the beetle; by doing this the plants could be often ex¬ amined and the beetles destroyed.— Pop¬ ular Science Monthly. RECIPES. Sardine Salad — Use a cupful ol chopped sardines, free from bones, to a pint bowl of lettuce or sliced cucumbers; season with salt, pepper, a little mustard and vinegar, and serve the salad as soon as it is made, because the lettuce begins to wilt directly it is dressed with salt and vinegar. Lyonnaise Potatoes—Slice cold-boiled potatoes into neat rounds; cut a medium¬ sized onion into thin slices, aud put it with a good tablespoonful of butter or bacon dripping into the frying-pan; when the onion is colored, add the potatoes, about two cujifuls, aud stir them about until they are a light brown. Strew with chopped parsley, and serve. Cold Chicken Wings—The wings, and drumsticks, necks, livers, hearts, gizzards of a pair of chickens, with any good portions remaining from the first service, make au excellent dish for cold use. The pieces are first to be boiled in enough water to cover them, with a pala¬ table seasoning of salt and pepper, until tender; then each piece is to be rolled in cracker meal, dipped in beaten egg, again rolled in cracker dust, aud fried in plenty of hot fat like doughnuts. Peach Meringue—Use fresh eggs and ripe peaches peeled with a silver knife, cutting them in halves. Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth; gently mix in a heaping tablespoonful for each egg of XXX sugar, sifted free from lumps, and smoothly blend it with the beaten whites. Lay the peaches on a soufflepan or a platter which withstand oven heat, heap the meringue over each, and quickly brown the surface in a moderate oven. If a crisp, sugary surface is desired, lightly dust *ver it a little powdered sugar be- rore browning it. The surface of the meringue should indicate the little mounds of fruit under it. If properly made with ripe peaches the dish is de- li/NOUS. A HORRIBLE STORY. A CAPTIVE FORCED TO EAT niS OWN FLESH DY REBEL ARABS. The following dispatch was received at London, Monday: “An engagement rebel has taken place between a force of Arabs and the army of the sultan oi Morocco. One hundred and twenty prisoners were captured by the rebels. Thev were all massacred. Among the captives was a son of the governor of the province in which the rising took place. Portions of his body were cut off while he was alive, and roosted. He was then compelled to eat his own flesh. * TTTE SITUATION MONDAY. Whatever way one might look at the situation all through the night and early Monday morning, it looked as though the strike on the New York Central road was slowly but surely petering out. Nev¬ ertheless, both parties to the blockade of the passeuger and freight tralfic were, so far As words went, at all events, as stub¬ born as ever. Allis quiet in Syracuse. The trouble is being confined to the yards at East Syracuse, which seems to be tha present key to the situation. The status on the Central road at Buf¬ falo is unchanged. The strikers are few in number and keeping very quiet. Trains from the cast are coming in several New hours late. Representatives of the York Central Railroad Company are in Chicago hiring men to take the places of the striking switchmen and brakemen. A gang of fifty recruits was forwarded to Buffalo Saturday night, and another lot was sent Monday morning. switchmen They are promised $70 per month for and $05 for brakemen, an advance of $15 and $10 respectively "ver the woigcs rul¬ ing for those classes of men on that road. The Pinkerton agency has also received au order for a large number of men to act as guards at various points along the line of the road. MUST FIGHT THEIR OWN BATTLE. Gra d Master Sweeny, of the Switch¬ man’s Brotherhood, says he will not cull out the switchmen on the Michigan Cen¬ tral aud Lake Shore roads to assist the strikers on the New York Central. He says it is purely a Knights of Labor strike, and that they will have to fight it out as best they may. <The same feeling seeing to prevail among the brakemen. CEN8U8 FIGURES. PHENOMENA*.
