This may lie very good weather for
some tilings but it is the poorest weathc
for a farmer to save fodder or crab
grass hay I ever saw. What we pull
down one day we lose the next, and
what we don’t pull is fast• getting too
old and rusty to be of any acqoinft,
and so I reckon we will have to give
it up. That is bad, very bad. But
then we have got a good lot of clover
and pea vine hay put away, and if
these dog days don’t last more than a
week longer the crab grass will keep
green enough to cut. and most every
body can squeeze along. It damages
the corn to strip the fodder off anyhow,
for they say that the blades are the
lungs of the plant and ought to stay
on until the fruit is ripe. The far
mers dont pul! fodder at all in Ken
tucky, but I will say this, that it is
about the best long forage a man can
have in his barn. Indian corn is a
wonderful plant anyhow, and is one
good thing we got from the Indians if
no more. It is now a standard article
of food over all the world, though 1
remember when I was a boy and there
was a great famine over in Ireland
our people sent over a cargo to Liver
pool to be ground up and given to the
sufferers and the London Times noticed
it with its nose turned up and 9aid
they had heard that cattle and hogs
could subsist on such food and prob
ably the poor Irish would eat it rather
than starve. Corn broad and hominy
use to be almost altogether southern
dishes but now you find egg bread and
pearl grits very popular everywhere.
The Yankees who came south a long
time .ago said that it scratched their
throats but after while their throats
got hardened to it and they liked it.
Last year the people of Ohio used up
two million bushels in making starch
and now since they have found out
how to make syrup out of it there is no
telling how much of it will go that
way, for it makes very good syrup, and
can be made about as cheap as sor
ghum. \Yc are sun drying some new
corn now for new meal and big hominy,
and if there is any better dish than
the old fashioned lye hominy I don’t
know it. The Indians called it eon
naseney, and our forefathers learned
from them how to make if. I remem
ber the time when most every old
fashioned house wife had a big wooden
mortar and used to break the corn
with a pestle. I reckon they hud the
same sort of mortars in Solomon's
time, for he says, “ though thou shouldst
bray a fool in a mortar with a pestle,
yet will not his foolishness depart from
him.” I used to believe he tried it,
but I don’t now.
CORN AND MATHEMATICS.
There are some curiotm things about
C'*rn, and one is where do the red ears
and the hpockled cars come from when
you don't plant any but white corn,
and another is, why don’t we find an
ear witii an odd number of rows on it.
You can find a four-leaf clover, but I
have never found tire odd row on an
ear of corn yet. It is always fourteen,
or sixteen, or twenty, or some even
number, and I would like to under
stand what corn knows about mathe
matics, and what objection nature lias
to odd numbers. But nature is lull of
mysteries. I was looking at some
honeycomb the other day, and won
dered how it could be made so true
and uniform and perfect even under a
microscope, and yet be all made in the
dark. And I would like to know bow
the lightning bug kindles the fire in
his tail so suddenly, and I’ve noticed
that thee is not only light in it to
show him how to travel, but there is
power ia it that pushes him forward
and always upward. lie rises as he
lights, which is a good emblem. When
a man sets himself up as a preacher,
or a teacher, or a statesman, and under
takes to throw light around upon the
people he ought to so live by precept
and example that be would rise higher
and higher as be luminalcd. Ami
right before me in front of the piazza
are two vines climbing a cane—one a
inadeira and the other a jessamine—
and they cross each other at every
round climbing in opposite directions,
ami I have tried to make 'em reverse,
but they won’t. You may tie one with
a string, but it will squirm and twist
out of it and go according to its nature.
This weather is good for some things.
I never saw as fine a prospect for
turnips and sweet potatoes, and then
the flowers keep on blooming, and I
don’t have to water ’em every day like
I did last summer. But these dog
days are very unpopular, for they say
that fresh meat won't keep, and milk
turns sour, and children have boils,
and grown folks have headache, and
mosquitoes sing around and snakes
perambulate. They say that dog-days
begin when the day star rises with the
sun and lasts about a month, and the
ancients who worshipped the stars
believed that when the dog star and
the sun got so close together they went
to fussing and the malignant influence
of their quarrel was felt all over the
universe. This superstition has been
handed down to us from the genera
tinns who have gone before, and it
shows how long a superstition will
hang on to our nature.
SENSELESS SEPEHSTITIOXS.
It is like seeing the new moon over
the left shoulder, or through the brush
of a tree, or like beginning a journey,
or to make anew garment on Friday.
It is astonishing how we let. these
senseless j>u;)erstitions-faki- hold of us,
even when we don’t believe in 'cm at
all. I stayed-over night once with a
man of more than ordinary sense—n
strong minded, well balanced man—
and when 1 asked him whv the car
penter who built his new house dident,
cell up that hole overhead he.said lie
wouldeut let him, for it was bad luck
to finish a liou-e. and that nlank was
left olf on purpose; and when that
man forgot anything and went hack
after it lie always made a cross mark
on the gmund and spat in it before he
turned round. There is a clever old
woman living near us who makes lye
soap for my wife and she makes it by
Lbe moon, and declares most solemnly
she cant make good soap any other
wa} 1 . And Green Foster told me that
if a man had a big lot of children and
wauled his hog meal to make a heap
o. gravy lie mu-d kill hi . polk m the
dark ol llic moon, for then it, would
sarink and juice away ; but if he want
ed it to swell up and make a big show
he must kill it while the moon was on
the increase. I'm sorry I didn't know
that when 1 was raising my flock, for
they were powerful fond of gravy, and
it was a trouble some times to get
enough for ’em without a great sacrifice
of meat. But we are not running on
hog meat now like we used to. liogs
are a great nuisance on a farm, and
wc like chickens and ducks and sheep
meat and yearhn’ calves better. We
would like to have some home made
lard for shortnin’, for this lard you
buy nowadays is a fraud, and there is
no telling what it is made of. It is
put up splendidly in double scaled tin
cans, hut it is not. the kind of lard wc
used to buy. Wo have quit using it
and use butter instead. Mrs. Arp
saj’s that butter at twenty cents a
pound is cheaper and cleaner and a
great deal better than lard. If a man
has to buy at all let him buy butter
and try it.
YKXXOII S WEATIIEU.
I see that Mr. Von nor says we are
to have an early fall and premature
frosts. That will he had for us up
here amoDg the hills, for our crops are
late and cotton will be cut off and the
low country will yet ahead of us. My
tenants have got splendid cotton but
I havent seen an open boll yet and the
weed keeps on growing and blooming.
Between Mr. Ver.nor and. unmanifest
ed destiny there is no telling what may
happen to us, but still it is well enough
to live on in hope and at all Limes to
be calm and serene. But Ido excuse
folks for losing their serenity some
times, lor la-4 night as the yirls were
cooking a little supper owe of'em was
making up the biscuit dough and just
over the dough bench is a shelf where
they keep the cook books, and soda,
and llosfo r d powders, and nutmegs,
and ginger, and 1 don't know what all,
and as she put her him 1 up there to
get something, another chicken snake
poked his bead over and licked bis
tongue oui. as much as to say good
evening. Miss, and she didn't faint.
I ran from the workshop with iny
hatchet in my hand and chopped his
sweet little head olf in a jiffey, and now
it will be six mouths before that big
scare is over and the cooking go on
with confidence. It looks like these
long-bodied insects are about to take
our premises.
We are having about enough poli
ties now to keep us all amused with
out getting excited. Mr. Clements de
dines to discuss the great questions
of life and liberty with Dr. Felton and
gives very good reasons for it, and he
told the truth when he said that peace
and harmony among the people was
more important than the success of
either Dr. Felton or himself. One
man can’t quarrel by himself and if
the candidates dout abuse one anoth
er Lire people wont indulge in much
slander. If men will run for office
they ought to set the people an exam
ple of courtesy and manliness. lam
glad that Mr. Stephens has got no op
position to speak of and there will be
no occasion for such bitterness as we
had two years ago. George Wyatt
said that one time when work was dull
and provisions high and money scace.
he took a notion to run for office over
in Rome, and lie spoke to a friend and
said he would like to be a calaboose
guard or a public grave digger, and
his friend asked him if he had ever
stole auythmg aud ho said nothing ex
cept a watermelon or two when be was
a boy, and his friend told him it would
come out oq him with some aggrava-
ting circumstances tlirowd in. and so
declined and kept on with his trowel.
George is about the happiest man I
know of. I love to look at him as he
swings his trowel on a hard finished
wall and lias lime in his eyes and his
hair, and is singing away like iic was
playing on the piano, lie told me
that one night lie had a dream, and an
angel appeared la> him and said:
•‘George, my larkey, I know the times
are hard and plastering is dull and
your wife and children a™ hungry,
and so I’ve got. a job for you—a mighty
big job, that will keep you bu jy the
balance of your life. I want yon to
plaslcr the firmament, with anew coat
of cerulian blue, and you must put a
handsome center piece around every
star.” lie says he never felt so good
in all his life, and danced around with
joy, but after awhile he got to think
ing about where he would get his scaf
flin poles, and or. looking around for
the angel the angel was gone. I see
that Happy George as we call him lias
moved to your town to introduce his
bran new double and twisted old Jeru
salem cement for laying sidewalks,
lie says his great grand father bought
the receipt from an Egyptian mummy
2,000 years ago and it was never known
to break or crack or wear out. lie is
also running the celebrated alabastine
for kalsoming walls and which is so
clear and white you can’t see it with
the naked eye. Please look after
George for when lie gets to heaven lie
will be a good witness for any man
who befriends him. He has a great
big heart and Henry Grady calls him

A Miracie of Honesty.
At a party one evening several con
tested the honor of having done the
most extraordinary thing ; a reverend
gentleman was appointed judge of
their respective pretensions. One pro
duced a receipt from his merchant,
covering all his indebtedness.
” The pain, is his,” was the general
cry, when a seeomUput in his claim.
“ Gentlemen,” said he, ” l cannot
boast of that, but I have just returned
to the owners three lead pencils and
two umbrellas that were left at my
house.”
“ I'll hear no more,” cried the as
tonished arbitrator. " This is the
acme of honesty. It is an act of vir
tue of which I have never known any
one to be capable. The prize—”
“Hold!” cried another. “ I have
done more than that.”
“ Impossible !” cried the whole com
pany. “ Let us hear.”

The Man Who Lived On.
Hiding along the highway between
Ktifaulu and Union Springs, I came
upon a native Alabamian seated on a
log by the roadside. lie was a per
j feet picture of “all broke up." He
| looked sick, his clothes were ragged,
and lie was barefooted in May because
he had no boots to wear. He looked
up in a weary way as I halted, and
when 1 asked about the road he shook
his head and replied :
" Don’t bother me, stranger —
clean gin out.”
“ What's the trouble ?”
“ Oh, everything —everything—l’ve
had sickness and losses and lawsuits
and tribulations till my sand is all
gone. I came out here to die all by
myself, and I’m expecting every minit
to hear the toot of the horn.”
“ That's too bad.”
** Yes, it’s bad. The old woman
she'll have to peg along, and the chil
dren will have to dig out or starve,
anil some other man will wollop inv
old mule and kick my dog. It's bad,
bad. but I've got to go. They’ll find
my dead body out here and plant it in
some swamp, and that’ll be the last of
me.”
“Can’t I help you any way ?”
“ Stranger, are ye bluffing ?”
“ No.”
“Really mean it?”
“ Of course.”
“ Then pot yer hand right thar, an’
squeeze ! Them’s the first kind words
I've heard in twenty y’ars. Patch my
hide if I don’t feel like living three
inofltbs longer!”
“ Have a plug of tobacco?”
“ Will I ? Will a drowning man
holler fur a raft ?”
He took the plug and tore away a
quarter of it at one bite, and as the
taste began to come be cried out:
“Stranger, it’s a heap better than
going to Heaven ! Yum ! yum ! Why,
1 really believe I'll live till cotton
comes olf!”
“ And here’s some brandy which 1
carry to use in the water down here.
Won’t you take a puli ?”
” Won’t 1 ? Stranger, that’s too
good, and I can’t believe it ! I haven’t
tasted brandy since Leo surrendered.”
He took the flask and pulled away
until half the contents bad disappear
ed, and as he handed it hack his eyes
began to shine, his old hat off, and lie
cracked his heels together and ex
claimed :
” Stranger. I’m going to live—going
to live all summer—all winter—all
next year I I'm anew man—l’m right
up to the mark again—-and I’ll go
home and give the family to under
stand that dad’s on deck and good for
seventy-live \ cars yet! Whoop! If
you hadn't been so powerfully kind to
me I’d hot my old hat agin a cent that
I could like yo in two miiiits !”—De

A Good Story of Stephens and
Toombs.
A doctor named lioyston had sued
Peter Bennett for his bill, long over
due, for attending the wife of the lat
ter. Alexander 11. Slliepheus was on
the Bennett side, anl Robert Toombs,
t hen Senator of the United Stales, was
for Dr. lioyston. The doctor proved
the number of his visits, their value
according to local custom, and his
owir authority to do medieal practice.
Mr. Stephens told his client that the
phyiseian had made out his case, and
as there was nothing wherewith to re
but or ofTsct the claim, the only thing
left to do was to pav it. ” No,” said
Peter, “ I hired you to speatc in my
case, and now speak.’’
Mr. Stephens told him there was
nothing to say ; he had looked on to
see that it was made out, and it was.
Peter was obstinate, and at last Mr.
Stephens told him to make a speecli
himself, if lie thought one could be
made.
“I will.” said Peter Bennett, “if
Bobby Toombs will not be too hard
on me.”
Senator Toombs promised, and Pe
ter began :
“Gentlemen of the jiry—you and
I is plain farmers, and if we don't
stick together, these ’ere lawyers and
doctors will git the advantage of us.
I ain’t no objections to them in their
proper places : but they ain't farmers,
gentlemen of the jury.”
“Now this man Iloyston was anew
doctor, and I went for him to come an’
to doctor my wife's sore leg. And he
come and put some salve truck onto
it and some rags, hut never done ii
one bit of good, gentlemen of the jury.
I don't believe lie is no doctor, no
way. There is doctors as is doctors
sure enough, hut this man don’t earn
his money ; and if you send for him,
as Mrs. Sarah Atkinson did, for a ne
gro boy as was worth $4,000, he just
kills him and wants pay for it.”
“ I don’t,” thundered the doctor.
“ Did you cure him ?” asked l’cter,
with the low accents of a judge with
a black cap on.
The doctor was silent, aud Peter
proceeded :
‘‘As I was u savin’, gentlemen of
the jury, we farmers, when we sell our
cottor\, has got to give vally for the
money we ask an 1 doctors airtt none
too good to be put to the same rule.
And 1 don’t believe this Barn Roys ton
is no doctor, no how.”
'The physician again put i:i his oar,
with “ Look at my diploma if you
think I am no docto r .”
‘‘llis diploma!” exclaimed the new
fledged orator, with great contempt.
“ His diploma ! Gentlemen, that is a
big word for printed sheepskins, and
it didn’t make no doctor of the sheep
as first wore it, nor does it of the man
as now carries it. and I p'int out to
you that he ain’t no doctor at all.”
The man of toedicina was now in a
fury’, and screamed out, “ Ask my pa
tients if I am not a doctor !”
*• I asked my wife,” retorted Peter,
“ and she said as how she thought you
wasn't.”
“ Ask my other patients,” said Dr.
Roy stun.
This seemed to be the straw that
broke the camel’s back, for Peter re
plied with a look anil tone of unutter
able sadness:
“ That is a hard savin’, gentlemen
of the jury, and one that requires me
to die or to have powers as I've beam
tell ceased to be exercised since
t'ue Apostles. Does he expect me to
bring the Angel Gabriel down to toot
his horn before the time, and cry aloud,
“Awake ye dead, and tell this court
and jury your opinion of Royston’s
practice ? Am I to go to the tomb and
say to um as is at last at rest from
physic and doctor bills, *Git up here,
you, and state if you died a natural
death, or was hurried up some by doc

When Boarding-House Forbearance
Ceases to be a Virtue.
“Mr. Whittle,” said an uptown
landlady, “you must get out of my
house. You owo me for three weeks’
hoard, and it is plain to sec that you
don’t intend to pay me.”
" Madam.” replied Mr. Whittle, “do
not say that I don't intend to pay 3*oll.
You mav say that 1 have not paid you,
or that I am slow about paying you,
but do not, I repeat, say* that I do not
intend to pay you. Philosophers have
failed when they have attempted to
explore the grand organization of tho
human mind. After days of earnest
thought Socrates (ailed to discover
one iimittercd thought of the man who
made his sandals. Knowing Sock to
be a philosopher, some of the boys bet
him a pair of brass knucks against a
bullfinch that lie couldn’t tell us what
the sandal maker intended to do. Sock
took the bet. He locked himself in a
room with the sandal-maker, and for
three days he didn’t take his eyes oIT
the man. At the end of the third day
Sock said : ‘ You intend to make mo
the best pair of Sunday sandals in tho
country.’ * Missed it,’ exclaimed tho
man ; ‘ I intend not to make you any
more until you have paid me for tho
last pair.’ So you see, madam, that
when such a philosopher ns Socrates
failed to discover a man’s intentions,
it is presumptions in you to set your
self up as a mind-explorer.”
“ Mr. Whittle, I don’t care nothing
about your Socks or your stockings,
but I want my money.”
“ I will withdraw from j our home
stead.”
“ Well, clear out, then.”
“ First let me say a few words. Dr.
Tanner used to live in New York,
didn’t he ?”
“ Yes, he did.”
“ And he once boarded at this house,
didn’t he ?”
“ Yes.”
“And while boarding here he learn
ed to fast. I can fast all around him,
for I’ve boarded here for several
1 months. The longer a man boards
here tlie more capable he is for fasting,
i He gets into the habit you know—”
But he had gone too far. Boarding
i house forbearance had ceased to lie a
virtue. If Mr. Whittle is able to ap
pear. the case will be tried today.—

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.
It will be apparent to any one who will
examine a Solid Gor i> Watch, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, a large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only to
stiffen and hold the engraved portions in
place, and supply the necessary solidity
and strength. The surplus gold is actu
ally needless so far as UTILITY and beau
ty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS’
PATENT GOLD WATCH CASKS, this
waste of precious metal is overcome, and
the SAME SOLIDEIY AND STRENGTH pro
duced at from one-third to one-half of the
usual cost of solid cases. This process is
of the most simple nature, as follows : a
plate of nicklc composition metal especi
ally adapted to the purpose, has two plates
of solid gold soldered one on each side.
The three are then passed between polish
ed steel rollers, and the result is a strip o
heavy plated composition, from which the
cases, backs, centres, bezels, &c.. are cut
and shaped by suitable dies and formers.
The gold in these cases is sufficiently thick
to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving
and enamelling; tho engraved eases have
been carried until worn perfectly smooth
hy time and use without removing the
gold.
THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL
CERTIFICATE.

A Frenchman bought an island olf

amounting to 10,000.000 franees from
colonists who joined in the expedition.
The emigrants sailed in vessels bought
witli their own money, the “marquis”
not accompanying them. When tho
colonists reached their distination, a
desert, and not the ricli soil and at
tractive suiroumliTigs promised, greet
ed them. Hunger and sickness killed
many of them, and the rest were
brought home by kind shipmasters.
The projector meanwhile was organiz
ing new enterprises. It was reported
that engineers had found precious
stones in the land of New France, and
that agriculture wrs flourishing. More
subscriptions poured in. Soon, how
ever. the imposition was discovered.
The “ marquis” is to be tried for man
