. V W1SHIK6T0S WAKED CF. . '. -X \ -- TBS CHEAT GENERAL A8TONI8UED ON • DIB BIRTHDAY. IrMlIiwOm «*« to 1U Jbnlif Ht. Vernon, Feb. S3, 1784.— “Step right in de Imllway, till, an’ I'll apoko to* de Uen’ral. He epeo’a some folks to call bimeby, ’case it am bis bafday.” The griming darkey took Tas JouaNAL reporter’s bat and over* coat and placed tbem carefully on the old fksbloned square table and harried op stairs to inform bis mas ter of the arrival.. The hallway of the Washington homestead was comfortable with rcspeot to roomi ness, but rather obUly. There were no chandeliers suspended from the celling and nothing on The walls but whitewash. The General descended the stairs slowly and with accustomed dig nity. His wig had been nicely powdered and the end of bis quequo was adorned with a blue ribbon. Largo brass buttons fastened his trousers at the knee and bright silk stockings displayed the grace ful outlines of his muscular calf and tapering anlclo. A handsome, square cut coat—opened sufficient ly to display a tremendous shirt ruffle—clung nicely to his shoul ders. llutllea were at bis wrists and a bigli maroon-colored stock adomed adorned his neck and kept hi* chin at an elevation which comported with the high persona! character of the man. * When he had reached the land ing lie extended his- hand to his visitor and addressed him with cold politeness. “Don’t talk to me that way, m friend. It'a really ridiculous. 1 way be all well enoogh to pul •uob things in your newspaper tor the purpose of exciting the public mind, but you might as well say tha; I could converse with a man at the other end of Alexandria as assert that anybody can get a boat astinst the tide without the aid of horses.” “1 admit that it requires horse power—about forty-horse power,” Btid tbo reporter. “I am glad,” aaid the General “tbatyooraenaea have retnrned.’ “But you can talk with a man in Alexandria, for all that,” said the reporter; “and yon needn't stir from your own room to do it. All you need is a telephone attach ment." “Sam,” said the General, “leave the room.” The darkey seemed glad to get out. When he bad gone the Gen- end gazed at tho reporter aternlv. “Voting man,” said he, “when I was a boy I cut down my father's (terry-tree, and ” “I know that story, sir,” inter- rupted the reporter. “That’s funny,” mused the Gon ers). “I don't remember ever to have teld it to anybody. •But #sy, young rain, if ever you come to Mount Vernon again I hope you will bring a little com mon sor.-e along with you.” The reporter llmnkc<l the Gener al ami expressed tile hope that when that time came the latter would have steam-pipes in Ids house. When tho reporter reach ed the dour he struck a match, lit — a cigar and calling a cab was whirl* To what, ’ said lie, "ain I in- 1 c( | over t„ the railroad station— debted for the honor of ibis visit?” proceedings which the General oh- The reporter explained that lie served with undisguised u.-ilouish- liad been detailed by The Morning I m( ,„, Journal to write up n description of his hirili day celebration. “The Morning Journal?" said tbe General, looking at !:is visitor inquisitively. “ What’s that? ' “A Now York newspaper, sir," replied the reporter. “Xever heard of it,” said the General. “It seems to me, though, that when I was over there at the Evacuiion I did bear that Xoali Webster thought of starting a newspaper. However, we won’t discuss tbst now. You’ve had a two week's toilsome journey anil had better come upstairs and rest yourself.” “I left Xow York early this mor ning, sir,” remarked tbe reporter. The.General, who was about to lead the way upstairs, turned around and eyed his visitor critically. “Probably I misunderstood you,” said bo. “Please say tbit again?" Tho reporter did so. “Young man,” said the General in solemn tones, “let me give you s piece of advice. Don’t begin life by lying. My stage-coach is the swiftest in the country, and I’ve four horses that trot together a mile in live minutes. It took me nine days to get home from New York, and’you will pardon me when I aver llial you couldn't have coach ed it in twice the time. However, come upstairs and sit down. You interest me.” “Ah,” sighed the General, as he opened the door of tbe reception- room and waved the reporter to i nest in stall, straight-backed arm ebair, “here we are at lust.” “Very cold here, General, why don’t you havo radiators put Id?” “I beg your pardon, wbat for?" “To heat tbe place by atcam." Something like tho ghost of an Incredulous smile came to the Gen cral’sface. The General seemed upon tho point of saying something, when the door opened without the pre- llmlnaty knock and in walked the colored body-servant. He ap proachcd tbe General respectfully, and banded him a piece of paper sealed with wax. The General ex amined the seal, and asking par* don of his visitor, openod the note and retd ft. “Sam." said he, addressing the darkey, “go outside and see if you cannot find somebody to take a message for mo over to George- town. Tbe Adam’s coaeb baa lokt n wheel, and the family will not be able to come over to the recep tion." “Why don’t you call 9 district messenger, General?” said the re porter. | ! “A what?" asked the General. “A messenger—one of the tele graph boys, you know.” “Tc.egrapli boys.” rcpcaiod tbe Gcneiil; eyeing tbe Importer and then exchanging glances with Sam.“I nevcrlieard ol such beings." “Yah l yah I" laughed Sam. . “Guess de gemmen am ’musin’ his- scf!" “If you wil| permit me. General,” said the reporter, “III go right over to tbe telegraph office, and send a dispatch for you. John Adams will have it in five min utes.” Tbe General emiled, and then leaning bock in bis chair and cross ing his knees, seemed prepared to hear anything. Tbe reporter talk- ed to him about railroads, Atlantic cablee, telegraph poles and first- class barber shops, and had began a vivid deaeriptipn of r Coney Island steamboat when the Genera; checked him. What Protection costs llic People. The imports of dutiable goods during the last fiscal year amount ed in round numbers to $515,000,- 000. The average duty on the same was 12.8 percent., or $210,000,000 which was [laid by the people for the sake of the protection. This is The Hennery. ThODIMTil'sTlDM. Dr. W. C.' Davis, who recently moved from< Iona and located in Thoma#vllle, Jiss established a hen nery on hie residence lot on Warren street. We called a few days ago to witness the modus operand! and found the Dootor ready to show us through and explain tho process of artificial hatching and raising or ehiokens. . His incubator is tbe “Perfect Hatcher,” (manufactunsd- in Elmyra, X. Y.,) tbe patent mot. highly esteemed io this and the old country, its capacity is about 800 eggs, and while perfect in its working la so simple that one could easily learn to operate it. Itoccu pies but little space, contains two rows of shelves,or drawers, running tbe entire length, upon which the eggs are placed, and is warmed by two iron tubee or flues, running one beneath and tbe other above tbe shelves. Two small kerosene Ismps connecting with flues, supply tbe best, and this is automatically eon- trolled after tbe machinery has been set to any desired temperature. The temperature adopted by tbe Doctor ranges from 23 to 101 de gress. The winding up of the ma chinery once in 34 or 48 hoars and kcepiug tbe lamps supplied with oil is about alt the attention necessary. This is briefly the incubator. Ad joining this department is a small enclosure which serves as a play ground for the little chicks while they require tbe protection ol the “Brooder.” The brooder is a long box wanned in a manner similar to that ol the incubator, with glass cover, ventilators and apperlurus for tl e ingress and egress ot tbe chicks. Over a little Iramo just above the lower fine is spread ncloili or blank et with the edges extending <Jer the sides and near Uie ground. Un der this tho little chicks roost as sung and warm ns if under a moth er, and soon learn to seek it at night or when seeking shelter from the rain or cold. When large enough to no longer need the pro tection of the brooder, the chicks arc turned into other and larger IMPROVED COTTON SEED ! 13 1TO H1W THHTQ t Bat hu stood the test of years and Is used by Tbousands of the Host Successful Planters in Georgia and Alabama, and not n man who has Planted them has JExpreseed Dissatisfaction.

When we consider the fuel that four or five times this amount per bend was paid in the purchase of merchandise, machinery, etc., of which no account has licon, you can get some idea what protection costs. And who receives tbo hen- ofit of sil this enormous tax ? Tbe manufactures, and they are few as compared to the whole population. Is it any wonder that there are n few very rich men in the United State*? No: not when we consid er that tho whole people are taxed for their benefit. Mr. Morrrimm’s bill “to reduce import duties and war tarifl taxes." will reduce the per cent, from tbe present mtc, 2.8, to about 23. How any sensi ble farmer, merchant, meebunio, or day lab-'ror can oppose this pro. fered favor is beyond our compre hension, unless it lie because be is more interested in manufacturers welfare than that of his familv. For Charity—Gentle Charity’* Soke. While winter cold rules every thing, it is almost like a ray or aummertunsbinu of the incalculable heap of good (never to be known by mortal men on this earth) that is done daily and hourly in the city of New Orleans, La., by the far- famed Charity Hoapital, maintain ed by the .Spaniard, the French, the Americans, the Confederate' 8tataa, and now more active in its mission of good thsnevcr sustain ed by the royal bonds of $1,0(10,000 paid forits franchises by tho Louis ians State Lottery, tho next (the lflfitb) Monthly drawing of which will occur an March 11,18S4, and of which M.

When we were there bis second batobing—several hundred eggs—was just coming off. Dozens of little fellows abuutaday Old, were chirping lively and strong in lliclr warm nest, others were just out, while still others were “pip ing” the shells. These will be ready to move into the brooder in a day or two, when a frcslij“setting" of eggs will be put in liicir place. Tue Doctor informed us that the cost of feeding bis first brood for four weeks bad been about one cent per chick, and things that be can raise them to broiling or frying size in ten or twelve weeks. He pro poses to run the business vigorous, ly and is satified that be can make a success of it and sell chickens at 25 cents per head. It is a new indus try here, and one very greatly needed. We hope the Doctor will abundantly succeed and be able to at least supply the borne de mand. WITJ OH WITHOUT POT; mpori _ _ _ PLAHTEU, MTUATF.
