Editors Dawson Journal , —
Gentlemen : As I have not written
anything in some time for your valua
ble paper, l have decided that a few
lines on Ifome and Farm T„ste might
not he uninteresting to your readers.
We have not traveled in foreign
countries, arid but little in the United
States, bu: from our reading, we are
led to believe that the people of South
west Georgia, and we might say r of the
■i uthern states, tire sadly deficient in
rural taste, —no doubt jar behind any
civilized people. The country, instead
of presenting tha* paradisical appear
ance which God and Nature designed it,
in many places !o< hs as if a pestilence
had swept over it, and, although nature
, ' urs to be the prettiest of all
countries, yet there are no trees, no bow
l's, no pretty cottages, no flowers, but
poorly improved water streams, and
the farm bindings arc dilapidated
placed without order, and indeed, the
farmers read and improve their minds
very little, work and improve their
laic'- Mil less. The idea scents gener
ally to prevail with the farmers to cut
down and wear out their lands—a very
erroneous idea, I think. We ought to
consider our lands as wc do our horses
and mules, ad never work an acre
without f'erti izing or feeding it well
: ov more than wc would work a horse
without food. We are emphatically an
agricultural people and yet those who
arc able are cd caii g both their sons
and daughters to look upon agriculture
and its kindred pursuits and associa
tions as low and groveling, hence a lack
of taste in the improvement of the
homestead, for there can be but little
where the heart is not. To be good
f rmers and good house keepers, we
must ma'-e farming and house keeping
a part . nd parcel of our education. We
mu t love the country, because it is
our home ; we must improve the coun
try, because our children are to inherit
it after us, and we must instill into our
children the same principle. Let us
respect the generation that is to follow
us and cease it to go on in our old way,
destroying timber and taking crop after,
crop from the lands without giving any
thing back in return. Since “all flesh
is grass,” let us learn the secret spring
of vegetable life as the great and hid
en science, and, gentlemen, as Journal
ist, 1 think you could do no greater
work than teach, to the best of your
ability, the science and art of farming.
Let us se, as often as convenient,
something on Chemistry, so that we
may learn the valt e, qualities, nature
and application of manures, for tlere
is a vas! difference between leaving the
value of fertilizers lo mere vague con
jecture, ami making them the subject of
posiive analysis by the aid of Chemis
try. I would be glad if every farmer
understood Physiology, for on observ
ance of its laws depend the lire,
health and growth of all animal and
vegetable nature. A violation of those
laws result in decay and ruin, obedi
ence to them meets with sure reward,
defiance to these laws is the ill luck of
poor farmers, observanae of them is
the good luck of the opposite class.—
Farmers work enough to be very inde
pendent, hut it seems that they will
never learn the importance of doing
what they do, do in Ihe very best pos
sible way. Don’t you see their error ?
and can't you teaeh and persuade them
to discontinue the old way of planting
so many poor acres that never pay ex
penees and to emulate the example of
your worthy townsman, Dr. Paschal,
and others who ma le such a large
yield per acre last year ? Since fann
ing is the grand work of all other en
terprises, let us all set ourselves to
thinking and working for the benefit of
the farmer, whether we be farmers or
not, and cease to let the mass of society
be made up of morbid thinkers and
miserable workers as is the case, for it
is only by labor that thought can he
made healthy, and only by thought that
labor can be made happy and pleasant.
I am satisfied that if fanners would
read and think more, their work would
be much more pleasant.
I will close, hoping that you and
your intelligent readers may instruct
the farmers, and that Southwest Geor
gia may yet smile with beauty and that
joy and nmy gladne-s ring from every
cottage in this sunny laud. J. 11. W.

lion. B. 11. Ilill, in a recent speech
in the U. S. Senate opposing the pay
ment of war claims, described, very
graphically, an incident in his personal
experience just after the war, that we
think will prove interesting to our
readers. We copy it below, not as
embodying any of the argument made
by Mr. Ilill in his speech, but merely
as an interesting incident showing the
condition of a portion of our country
just after the war.
“Early in the month of September,
1865, it became necessary for me, in
the discharge of a professional engage
ment, to travel otic hundred miles in
the immediate track of Sherman’s march
through Georgia. One day, about two
o’clock in the afternoon, I became ex
ceedingly hungry. I said to the youth
who was driving the horse : “You must
stop at the fiist favorable opportunity
and let me get something to eat.” I
shall never forget the expression of the
young man. “Ah !” says he, “mister,
I don’t reckon \ou will find anything
you will cons'der fit to cat in this part
of the country ; Sherman has been a'oug
here.” “Well, ’ I said, “but the peo
ple in this part of the country live on
something, do they not ?” “Oh, yes,
but I don't hardly know how it is they
live; they seem to live, though.”
“Well,” I said, “I can live one day on
what they live on constantly, 1 am pret
ty sure, and therefore we wib stop at
the most favorable chance apparent.”
It was not long before we came to a
very good-looking frame dwelling, two
stories high, it dwelling of a character
very well known in the South, contain-
ing six rooms, well built, and indicat
ing in former times a country family
well-to-do in the world. The fencing
was till gone. The chimneys were
standing on the outside, showing that
the outhouses had been burned, but
there stood the main dwelling ; and I
said to the young man ; “Stop here,
and I will see if I can get something to
eatand I went in. 1 was met at the
door by a very excellent looking lady,
modest, but evidently refined and edu
cated, as she turned out to be—a coun
try lady of great hospitality, but with
evidence of poverty all around her, and
she looked prematurely old. She said
to me when I made known my purpose
of stopping. “Why, my dear sir, I
would be glad to give you anything
that 1 could, but 1 have nothing that
you will Lave I suppose, nothing that I
feel inclined to offer you.” “Anything
that you have,” I said, “will suit me,
because 1 am exceedingly hungry.” She
said, “I can prepare for you nothing
but some potatoes and some eggs, but
1 have nothing in which to cook the
potatoes except the embers; we are in
the habit of roasting them. I have
nothing in which to cook the eggs ex
cept the ashes or a broken skillet. I
have not a whole piece of furniture or
a whole kitchen implement on the prem
ises ; everything is broken.” She
handed me a seat. Said she : “I have
handed you the best seat I have, and
the back is broken as you see.’' “ Why
is all this. ’ “ Why,” she said, “Shor
ty art's army passed along here and did
all this.” Well, I told her that I
would take the potatoes and eggs, and
she put them in the ashes accordingly,
and while they were roasting I said to
her : “Will you please give me an ac
count of your experience and trials
when Sherman’s army passed along
here?” She said she would. I cannot
give it all to the Senate, but certainly
it was one of the most interesting nar
ratives I ever listened to in my life.
the lady was one who had married
about eight years before the war began.
She was well raised and graduated
at a female college in Georgia. She
and her husband settled that place and
built that house; they had about one
thousand acres of land, thirty slaves,
and all needed personalty, and were en
tirely out of deot, and perfectly happy.
They lmd had three children horn to
them, the oldest at the time of my visit
being only twelve years old.
It turned out that her husband went
into the confederate army and lost liis
life in one of the battles in Virginia.
His remains were brought home and
buried in sight of where we were sit- '
ting. About a year after her husband
was killed in Virginia in the confeder
ate artr.y, Sherman’s army passed
through Georgia, and all her slaves ex- ;
eept one, her cook, called Aunt Millie,
left. This Aunt Millie was raised with
this lady, and had nursed her in her in
fancy and was given to her by her fath
er ; and she said she would never leave
her under any circumstances, and she
remained with her. But to make a
long story short, everything they had
was taken. All the stock, all the pro
visions were taken away. Everything
that could not be carried away was
killed or broken or burned, except one
cow, two banks of potatf es, and one
small crib of corn. The cow was saved
by Aunt Mi lie claiming it as her own,
which she did for the purpose of saving
it. The corn-crib was saved in this
way : The lady sat in her house with
her three children and saw eveaything
being burned ; seeing the to’’ch about
to be appliod to the last corn-crib she
summoned courage and went out with
her babe in her arms and her two little
children by her side and said to the
officer who seemed to have charge of
the sport: “Sir have you a family at
home ?” The officer -aid he had a wife
and two children. “What would you
think,” said she, “if a southern army
should pass through your country and
take the last mouthful of bread your
wife and children had ?” The officer
was a man. He lifted his hat most gal
lantly and then said to his squad, “Don’t
fire that crib,” and said to the squad
in the garden, “Don’t disturb further
those potatoes,” and that is the way
the lady saved the crib of corn and
banks of potatoes. In the mean time
the squad had gone into the house,
pulled down all the pictures, defaced
the walls, broke all the furniture, broke
everything she had in the shape of
kitchen utesnils, and carriedbff all her
silver-ware and cutlery. The last site
saw they were pulling the covering from
the grave of her husband, and suppos
ing they were geing to take his body
off' she fainted away. Gut Aunt Millie
stopped them by telling them “for God’s
sake not to make war on the dead,”
and they left. This is a littoral fact.
That woman bad raised a patch of one
acre of potatoes and’ one small field of
corn, working with her own hands and
aided by this good woman Aunt Millie,
and her three little children, and they
had lived on that-scant allowance from
the time Sherman’s army passed by
until I met her.
Now, that woman will never come
here to have her losses repaired; she
will never come here with a claim before
Congress and ask for compensation.—
And now I will give you another claim.
A few weeks after I took my seat as a
member of Congress I received a card
one day by a messenger who said that a
lady desired to see me in the speaker’s
reception room. I went in. She was
exceedingly well dressed. She had
velvet and diamonds and laces all over
her, and toe first speech she made to me
was to express the great gratification
of all Georgians that I had been elect-
ed to Congress, “for now,” she said,
“all Georgians will get their rights.’’
She soon made known the animus of
that speech, for in the next sentence
she said she had a claim before Con
gress which she desired me to support,
and she knew I would support it be
cause she was a Georgia lady, born and
raised in Georgia, and she knew I
would support her claim. “Well, who
are you “If you were born and
raised in Georgia and had losses in
Georgia, why are you here in the con
dition I see you?” “Oh,” she said,
“when Sherman’s army passed ‘hrough
Georgia they destroyed my property,
bu*,’’ site added, “I married one of the
Federal officers [laughter] and came
North.”
Mr. HOAR She took her revenge
iu that way. [Laughter.]
Mr. HILL. Yes, sir. She married
a Federal officer. The first woman I
mentioned lost her husband in the con
federate army, and therefore is disloyal.
The second woman married an officer
in the Union army and therefore is loy
al! Well, her statement was true be
cause she produced a very complimen
tary and flattering letter from General
Sherman. Evidently the letter was
genuine and not dictated by a woman.
But I will say in justice to Genera!
Sherman that I am satisfied he gave
that letter more on account of the wo
man’s husband, who was a Federal offi
cer, than on account of her claim. I
assume and believe he did.
But I asked this lady what is your
claim for ? “Why, she said, “for per
sonal property destroyed by Sherman’s
army.” “How much is your claim for!
“Eight hundred thousand dollars,” she
said, whereupon I became bewildered.
Eight hundred thousand dollars of per
sonal property of one person destroyed
by the war! Yes, she said, it was well
proven, proven by the very officers and
men who destroyed it, who set fire to
it, and she named quite a number of
republicans in the House
who she said had promised to vote for
her bill; but they had told her it was
very important for her to get up a dem
! ocrat, and best of all a southern demo
crat, to introduce it. Therefore she
1 came to me as a democrat and a south
ern democrat from her own State—her
dear Georg'a—to intoduce her bill. She
said the republican- assn ed her that if
VOL. 14-NO 49.
she would get a little re-enforcement
from the south and from the demoerrtic
party her bill would certainly become
a law. I said to the lady, “It will be
very difficult to make me believe tha t
the whole country ever at one time had
eight hundred thousand dollars worth
of personal property.” But she said
It is all proven, it is all right, and the
republicans are ready to vote for it.”
I do not say they were ; I can only tell
you what the woman said, and as she
is loyal you ought to accept her as a
good witness. [Laughter.]
Seeing that her entreaties could do
no good, she finally said to me that I
had to vote for her bill, that she had
a great many friends among the news
paper men, and she sometimes wrote
for (he newspapers herself, and looking
at me with all the air of command and
of one having authority, she said “Mr.
Ilill, if you don’t vote for my bill you
will never go to the Senate. Thereup
on, I made the lady a bow, gave her a
fiat lefusal to have anything to do with
her or her bill, and left.”
The Enormous Duty on Quin
ine.
A few days ago a skillful' physician
who has had long experience in the
New York city hospitals said that qui
nine has become so much of a luxury
that explicit orders are in force requir*
ing that when substitutes for quinine
can be found they must always be used.
The duty on sulphate of quinine is
twenty per eentum ad valorem and the
price of the drug in our markets is ad
vanced nearly or quite that amount.
In the South, where immense quanti
ties of quinine have to be used every
year, the substitution of less efficient
but cheaper medicines have become so
common that we have no hesitation in
saying that thousands ot deaths can be
traced to this cause alone. In the
light of these facts the Ways and
Means Committee at Washington, with
Mr. Fernando Wood at its head, will
shoulder a grave moral responsibility
if it does not report the bill
abolishing the Philadelphia monopolists
blood tax and allow Congress a fair
show to give the people a free shake.—
JV". Y. Post.
Surrendering Uuxtiries.
Someone gives the following table
of the order in which mcfi give up lux
uries under the pressure of hard
times :
Books go~first—the book trade flat
tens under a panic ; illustrated papers
next, and then daily papers. If the
pressure continues, the trade in pianos
and furniture falls off—-the laboring
classes begin to contract on the furni
ture for the first start. Next it begins
to cut off fine clothes and jewelry, and
then it’s]getting pretty tight. Put in
another screw, and tea and coffee suffer,
then ali fine groceries and other kinds
of produce. If the screw still tightens,
when the worst comes to worse, and there
is no help from God or man, the whis
key and tobacco begin to be cut off
But the dog’s about dea 1 when it conies
to that.
In all of which much truth abounds.
An Alligator Attacking a Cow.
A large alligator was killed at Clare
mont, near Remington Park, on the St.
John’s, by Capt. Wm. A. Hallowes
and Mr. George C. Floyd, a day or two
since. While the above-named gentle
men were out hunting alligators, their
attention was attracted to the splashing
and bel owing of a cow. Proceeding
in the direction whence the sound came,
they found an alligator about ten yards
from shore, where the water was two
feet deep, making an attack on a cow.
The alligator had a’ready torn a large
strip of flesh from one of her legs.
They at once killed the ’gator, which
measured thirteen feet and six inches
in length. —Florida Sun and Press.
A young man in Boston received a
bequest of $25,000. He had been
poor, and the sudden acquisition of
wealth rather turned his head. He be

begged that this remainder might be
giveu to him for safe keeping, and the
son, being ill fro n long drunkenness,
and very penitent, readily complied.
The father put $ 10,950 into a pocket
in his shirt and started out to spend
the other SSO in a frolic. That night

Several of the above symptoms attend
