HACK FROM AFRICA.
W hat a Colored Man Says of The Far
Away Land.
(Albany News]
We recently had the pleasure of con
versing with the Itev. Floyd Snelson,
formerly of Liberty county, Ga., and
who has just returned from a year’s so
journ in Africa. Poking at him our
editorial card, we desired an interview,
which he politely gave ns. We found
him to be quite intelligent, and a
thoughtful, earnest man. We com
mend his views to our readers:
News—To what point in Africa did
you go ?
Me. Snelson— To Freetown, sier
raleour, West Africa, This is an
English colony, and I went out as a
missionary from the American Benevo
lont Society. It is about one hundred
and fifty miles north of Liberia.
News— -Did you visit Liberia ?
Mr. S—Oh, yes. I traveled ex
tensively through the northern part of
the country.
News —Give us some facts about tire
country ?
Mr. S—Well, it somewhat resem
bles Southwest Georgia in its physical
aspects. The lands are very fertile,
and thickly populated. The principal
products are corn, sugar cane, coffee,
which bring good prices. Cotton is al
so raised, bftt not profitably. The Gov
ernment is Republican, and is carried
on solely by black people. Except
missionaries, none but colored people
are permitted to settle in the Republic.
The government gives twenty-five acres
of land to every emigrant, which he can
work or dispose of as he pleases. The
schools are few and inefficient.
News —What do you think of the
immigration from the South ?
Mr. B—l think it was a bad move
ment, and that the colored people who
went into it were misled. I would
strongly oppose it for several reasons.
First, the climate is very severe, and
unfavorable to new cominers. It is ex-
Lremly unhealthy, and all kinds of dis
eases abound. It takes a foreigner a
long time to get acclimated, and a very
large number die from the bad effects
of the climate. Physicians, too, are
scarce, and their charges are very high,
five dollars being the price for a single
visit. Only a rich man can afford tire
luxury of getting acclimated; the poor
generally suffer severely, and very of
ten die.
Again. Labor is superabundant,
and is very cheap; sixteen to twenty
five cents a day, and four of five dob
lars per month) are about the wages
paid for labor. The expenses of living,
on the other hand, are very great. Ba
con sides sell all the year round f< r
twenty-five cents per pound; hams
thirty-six to fifty cents ; flour §l*2 to
sls per barrel; boards s•> per hundred.
It takes large capital to succeed in Li
beria.
News —Did you meet any of the
darkies who had emigrated from the
South ?
Mr. S—Yes. Some of them who had
capital are doing well. The majority
are dissatisfied aud would gladly return
to their former home. Some of them
have returned. Some have walked
from Liberia to Sierraleour, a distance
of nearly two hundred miles, in order
to escape from the ills of their condi
tion. In short, sir, Liberia offers no
advantages to the poor man. Ihe capi
talist can find many remunerative chan
nels into which to turn his money, but
the laborer will find it an exceedingly
hard thing to make a living there, and
I would advise any poor man to stay
away.
Thanking him for his courtesy, we
bade him adieu.
Farmer.
It docs one’s heart good to see a
merry round-faced farmer. So indepen
dent and yet so free from vanity and
pride; so rich and yet so industrious;
so patient and persevering in his calling
and yet so kind, sociable and obliging.
There are a thousand noble traits about
his character He is generally hospit
able. Eat and drink with him and he
won’t set a mark on you, and sweat it
out of you with double compound inter
est ; some people 1 know will; you are
welcome, lie will do you a kindness
without expecting a return by way ot
compensation—it is not so with every -
body. He is usually more honest and
sincere, less disposed to deal in low and
underhanded cunning, than many I
could name He gives to society its
best support, its firmest pillar that sup
ports the edifice of government. He is
fhe lord of nature. Look at him in his
homespun and gray; laugh at him i
you will, but believe he cau laugh back
if he pleases.

TIIE FLORIDA Sllll* CANAL.
Its Projectors Pushing it and
the Necessary Money said to
he Ready.
Washington August 13.—The
Florida Canal project flourishes apace.
Lloyd Aspinwali has been here for a
day or two in consultation with Senator
Jones, of Florida, but left here to-night
for New York He says he made ar
rangements with French capital for
building a ship-canal across the isth
mus of Florida from Cedar Keys to the
mouth of St. Johns River, which will
make a saving of about one thousand
miles in the water-route lrom New Or
leans to New York. All that is now
required is the right of way through
Florida, and a law of the Florida Leg
islature granting exemption from taxa
tion for a period of twenty-five years.
This will require a special charter of
the Legislature, and strong influences
are at work to get this through at a
called session of the Legislature. The
French capitalists sent an agent here
to investigate tire matter, and it is un
derstood that upon his recommendation
the money will be paid. A full corps
of enginners is to begin at once to make
suiveys co ascertain the best route.
Senator Jones says it is a great enter
prise and will benefit the Southern
commerce beyond expression.
Too Many Snake Bites.
During the haying season an honest
old farmer out on the Gratiot road em
ployed three young men from the city
to help cut and store his timothy. None
of them liked work half as well as whis
ky, and a conspiracy was the result.
About noon one day one of the trio
fell down in the field, shouting and
kicking, and the other two ran to the
farmer with wild eyes aire called out
that their companion had been bitten
by a rattlesnake and must have whisky.
The farmer rushed to the house and
brought out a quart, and the • :ree
harvesters got a big drink all around
on the sly, while the “bitten” one bad
a lay-off' of half a day. The next af
ternoon a second one was bitten, and
again the farmer rushed for his bottle.
It was a nice little job for the boys,
and on the third day the third one put
in his claim for a bite and yelled for
the whisky bottle. The farmer took the
matter very coolly this time, and alter
making particular inquiries as to the
size of the snake, location of the bite,
tho sensation, and so forth, lie slowly
continued:
“Day before yesterday James was
bitten and drank a quart of good whis
ky. Yesterday John was bitten and
drank a quart more. To-day you ve
got a bite, and tho best thing you can
do is to smell their breaths and lay in
the shade while the rest of us cat din
ner V’
The man got weft in ten minutes, and
not another rattlesnake was seen during
tho season. —Detroit Free Press.
A great Man’s Tribute to Gee.
“Mont,” the Paris correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer, writes as fol
lows on a subject dear to the heart of
every Southern man:
At this moment the eyes of Europe
are turned toward the great army Com
mander in Zululand. During “our lit
tle war” this officer was a guest with
Gen. Robert E. Lee. I knew him then.
I have met him since. The last time I
met him I asked him where his head
quarters would be in South Africa.
“Not in the saddle,” he replied, with a
smile, and the suggestive quotation re
vived our recollections of persons and
events in the past that gave us much
mirth of criticism. We talked over the
campaigning in the South, and Sir Gai
net said : “Do you know that the ar
mies of Europe have learned some great
lessons from General Lee? I think he
was the greatest General of his age:
yes, perhaps of any age; and my own
opinion is that the North, though not
very proud of him now, will soon come
to look upon Gen. Lee with as much
pride as the people of the South, and
both be gloried of the great American
General, from whom much of modern
strategy has grown into rules of war. ’
I note this as coming from the first sol
dier of Great Britain, if not ot Europe,
and at seme future day I may add fur
ther remarks on the Generals who were
opposed to Gen. Robert E. Lee, and
whose military abilities European offi
cers have carefully noted.
The sudden paleness which sometimes
everspread a young mans face in church
may be caused by a quickened con
science, but the chances are that he

A New Method of Cotton Plant
ing.
The Aberdeen (Miss.,) Examiner
says: Several times during the last
four years we have taken occasion to
call attention to the new process of Cot
ton planting so successfully pursued by
Mr. J. J. Crump, of this county. The
result of this process was 1,300 pounds
of ginned cotton to the acr'6 in 1877,
1,000 pounds m 1878, and this season
the prospects are good for the heaviest
yield he has had. For the benefit of
our readers and exchanges we will
again give Mr. Crump’s formula.
He prepares his land in December
by digging holes three feet from each
other, eaeli eighteen inches square and
eighteen inches deep; these holes he fills
with manure to within four inches of
the top, and the remainder of the way
with the top soil. At the usual season
he plants with a view to having tlrreW
stalks to the hill, and piles the clay
from the bottoms of tho pits as deep
over their tops as the supply will admit
of, with a view to keeping down the
grass, and then cultivates wi ll hand
and hoe, never allowing a plow to be
used. The preparation is made in De
cember in order to subdue the fiery
qualities of the fei tilizer, and the holes
when prepared will make at least three
crops without changing their contents
—the second crop generally being the
best and tire first and last about the
same. This plan has gotten beyond
the sphere of experiment, and there is
no longer necessity for a man to scrape
over a dozen acres when lie can obtain
more cotton and better c itton by culti
vating ttvo or three by Mr. Crump’s
process.
Micegenation ill llliftois.
[Lisbon (111) Telegram, 22d.]
The people of this little town are
greatly wrought up over a case of mis
cegenation, wherein one of the oldest
and best citizens of the county is bowed
down in cruel grief and shame by the
unnatural conduct of his daughter, who,
notwithstanding his tearful and frantic
pleadings, would marry a negro. The
darkey in question is a sprightly chap,
more than ordinarily intelligent and
good looking, considering the blackness
of his skin. Ilis mother regards the
matter with the keenest of sorrow.
She is a woman of more than ordinary
intelligence, and does not hesitate to
denounce in the roundest terms the
evils of miscegenation. There was a
person fuund in Morris to perform the
marriage ceremony. The bfide is in
Morris, while the groom has returned
to resume his duties as a farm laborer.
His wealth will probably aggregate for
ty cents.
.Horses Killed by Eating Saiul.
A farmer in the upper part of this
county last year, at different times, lost
five horses. All were taken sick pret
ty much the same way. The last one
was cut open after it died, and its maw
was found to be Completely packed
with sand. There is no doubt but the
sand killed it, and as little doubt but
the others were killed with sand in
their maws. The man ou the farm that
preceded this gentleman, carried on the
butcher’s business, put up a great deal
of Corned beef, and was in the habit of
pouring out the pickle in the field back
of the barn, where t’was sandy. In
licking the ground to get the salt the
horses had filled themselves with sand.
Indeed, it is said they pawed a great
hole in the sand to get the salt. — Eas

News lias reached this city of a terrible

young men, Cooperand Butler, for a
long time enemies, mot. Cooper said:
“Now I’ve got you,” and shot Butler
through the breast. Butler drew a re
volver and shot Cooper, the later giving
Butler two more shots in the breast,
when Butler staggering towards him,
placed his pistol against his neck and
fired. Both fell together, each rejoic
ing over having killed the other, and
both died.

ministers of the city, who said to
him :
“I am truly glad, Governor, that
you are recovering your health.’
“1 didn’t suppose, sir, tiiat you
6ared anything about my health."
‘Why not?’ said the preacher.
‘Yon never came to see me during
my protracted sickness,’ was his an
swer.
‘I never saw yon at church, said
the preacher, ‘and I did not know
that a visit from me would be accep
table.’
‘I was compelled,’ replied Mr.
Corwin, ‘to quit going to church lest
I might become an infidel. Intrusted
with the most important message that
was ever committed to man, you de
livered it with art apathy that indi
cated that you had no confidence in
its truth. If I were to practice law
with the same stolid indifference
with which you preach the gospel, I
would lose every case. Nor should
you have waited to inquire whether
or not your visit to my sick room
would be acceptable. If my friend
is dying and I have the only panacea
that will restore him, do yoU suppose
I would hesitate to visit him until I
learn whether my visit would be ac
ceptable? No, sir; I would hasten to
his bedside and offer him relief. If
an angry stream should roll between
us 1 would plunge into it, and reach
ing his house, would never pause to
inquire, whether my visit would be
acceptable, but would press to bis
bedside and offer him the remedy.
Go, sir,’ said Mr. Corwin, ‘and seek
for the lost, and deliver with an ear
nestness worthy the cause you plead,
your message of life atid death.

Ohio.

other Cotton, the blooms and fruit all
coming out on short stems from the
main stalk and clustering atound it.
It bears profusely, and from its manner
of fruiting the cotton is not so liable to
fall or be shaken from the bolls. In
several cluster's we found where two
bolls formed from one bloom. The

and has forty-one bolls on it, with a
lot of blooms and forms. Mr. Williams
has twenty-eight acres in this cotton at

Tlie Skin of a Beautiful Young Lady
Tanned and Made Into Shoes.
The Lafayette (tnd.) "Conner’' tells
the following story, which appears too
liOfrihlc to be true :
For Some time past the shoes worn
by a yoilng medical student of this city
have been made a source of constant
curiosity and no little comment among
his friends. It was Certainly something
unusual that created this attention, for
they were neither particularly large nor
particularly small; nor yet were they in
either so good or bad repairs as to ex
cite more than a passing glancO. They
were simply a pair of ordinary low
shoes, but it was their texture and the
strange material of which they Were Con
structed that mado them at once curi
otts and The leather is light
brown in color and streaked with par
alled veiufrtgs of a darker shade, the
whole as soft as silk.
Among his friends the doctor in em
bryro makes no secret of the mystery of
his footgear. “They are mado trom
the skin of a belle of Cincinnati, ' he
says, giving the name of one of the
leading families of that city', and-, while
the hair of his listeners begins to as
sume a perpendicular position, he goes
on to tell how during his term at col
lege he was one night sought out by a
resurreetiona'ist famous a nong the
medical men, who offered him a sub
ject just “snatched” from a city ceme
tery; hOw the corpse (that of a beauti
ful young girl, white flesh and the cost
ly ring on her smooth, soft hand showed
her to be of no poor family) was
bought by several of the students, and
how when the body, slashed by the knife
of dissector, lay upon tlie table he crept
in and cut the skin from the round
limbs* The ghastly bundle securely
wrapped and tied, was packed in an old
grisps&ck and sent, with an explanato
ry letter, to a well known shoemaker
of this city. The skin was then tanned
and polished and, finally, placed in the
hands of a skillful workman, and under
his manipulation transformed into a
pair of low summer shoes. The re
mainder of the tanned skin now lies in
the shop and it is said may readily be
produced to verify the story.
The body of the poor girl, hacked
and mutilated, found a nameless grave,
while the mound reared in her memory
in the cemetery of the city is draped
with flowers and vines planted by low
ing hands above the empty eoffin. The
shoes tashioned from her flesh tread
our streets every day. Their stJfy in
all its hideous grotesqueness is vouched
for as strictly and absolutely true, and
certainly furnishes no mean leaf in the
history of the dissecting room.
Exploits in drinking lager beer arc
receiving the attention of the Citl- iu
uati newspapers, and some of the
ries are Wonderful. A fiieman drank
twelve glasses of beer while a church
clock was striking twelve, the time be
ing about half a minute. Dr. Nocffier
drank eight gallons in two hours, and
his competitor in a trial of capacity was
not left far behind. Noeffler is regard
ed as the Cincinnati champion, but
there are several men in that city who
have emptied an eight-gallon keg in
three to five hours. An old employe
of a brewery has drank fifty glasses ev
ery day for eighteen years* BreWCts’
men generally drink heavily. In one
brewery they are allowed from six to
fourteen glasses each per day, accord
ing to their age and work. Cards are
placed behind a bar, and upon them
the names of the employes are written.
A man goes to the bar and asks for a
glass of beer, which is given him, auu a
hole at the same time is punched iu his
card. When the number of holes cor
responds to the number of drinks al
lowed him for the day, he can have no
more, though the day may uot yet be
more than half spent.
The Antericus Recorder says, on the
authority of Mr. W. D. Haynes, that
Mr. James Dorn, of Webster county,
