A writer in the Chicago Tribune, on
tlic sub ect of barns ami stables com
bined, holds that there is no more un
sound idea in the building of a combined
barn and stable than in allowing the
breath and other elhuvia to pass into the
fodder nud other food of the stock. In
other words the ventilation of tho stabler!
not for this fact a two years' rotation,
clover and wheat succeeding each other
alternately, would be popular in places
adapted to wheat growing. This was a
common rotation fifty or more years ago |
with wheat growers, but in those days ,
the clover was plowed under in June
and thoroughly worked until wheat seed
ing time. Even then, however, with
tlm early plowing tho clover did not
catch as well on fallow ground as it did
with wheat sown after corn or spring

[From the St. Louis Globo-Demoi-rst.]
Tho death of Gabo Tate nt Henderson,
Ixy., brings to mind the romantic career
of his life. Tate was born nud raised in
this country. Ilis father was one of tho
prosperous planters of ante helium days.
't he largo tract of land he owned was in
Walnut bottom, in tho most productive
part of this section lie had a large
number of slaves, and, better still, a
large bank account, Gabo bad grown
in an atmosphere of luxury until lux
uries were common Ho had been nc-
customed to having his own wav nnd to
linvo every xvnnt supplied. When his
father died tho ostnto was divided be
tween him and his sister, Jits. Dr. .1.

of her husband In JotTerson county, now
a port of Louisville, Kv. There ho inot

Col A. L. Shotwell, a man xvlio was
rich in a dozen different ways. His
steam interest was only sci otid to his
landed estate, and his commission mer

his mining rights. Tno vast coal fluids
of I nion county, now owned by Ilrown
& Jones, the Pittsburgh coal kings,
were his individually. At that time, in
1802, there were only two coal mines
operated on the Ohio Itiver be oxv Pitts
burgh, Pa., the ono nt Cnnnclton, nd.,
and tho Shotwell mines in Union coun
ty. So exhaustless is tlic supply ol coal
nnd so superior tho quality that a rail
road has just been completed to tho
mines from this city Fabulous for
tunes have been made from the fleets of
coal sent South from these mines. It is
seen by this xvliat Oriental grandeur xvas
in the reach of Gabo Tato aud Miss
Shotwell. with their fortunes when uni
ted in marriago at tho residence of Col.
Shotwell, in Louisville. After marriago
Mr. and Mrs Tato went to the Shotwell
mines, xvbcro the i roductsof a thousand
miners supplied their wants. For smno
years they lived at tho mines, and all
went well. Two or more children
blessed their union. Mr. Tato left his
home, nnd to this day tho public do not
know tho cause. Surmises wero plenti
ful, but no knowledge of tho entire
was ever had. It was Unown thnt liis
estato wu3 gone, but that was of small
importance for his wife was rich.
Sorao time after Mr. Tato left home
Mrs. Tate procured n divorce, nnd short
ly afterwards married Sam Churchill, a
prosperous planter, who had lived near
tho mines, and with whom si o was ac
quainted during her man lad life nt tho
mines. In tho meantime Andrew Into,
an old bachelor uncle, had died nnd left
his vast estate to Gabo and his sister.
Hugh'Cato, another bachelor uncle, soon
died, and added his fortune to that of
his brother Andrew for tho benefit of
his nephow and niece. Not long after
that Miss Nancy Tato died, nnd left her
increased fortune from her own right
nnd undivided interests in tho estates of
her two brothers, Andrew anil Hugh, to
Gabo Tato and liis sister. Theso changes
covered a period of nearly ten years.
Notwithstanding the fact that considera
ble advertising had been done, nothing
could bo heard of Gnbo Tato, nnd he
xvns suspected to be dead. At last ho
was heard from Cairo, 111., nnd found
Arriving home, ho found himself a rich
man again. He wrote to his xvife to
send the children to him lit Evansville,

met him there with tho children. Short
ly afterwards a divorce was procured
from Sam Churchill, tho second bus-

Clinrlcs'on All Right
It is difficult, however, to convince
pcoplo nt a distance that such is the
case. A loss of $5,000,000, they argue,
must ruin a city of sixty thousand in
habitants, one half of whom are colored.
It is dillicult for them to understand
that while our houses nro comparative
ruins, our wharves nnd railroads nro in
tact, and our facilities for doing busi
ness not impaired. Tho cyelono and
tho earthquake, they think, must havo
destroyed whatever of Charleston was
loft bv the war. This impression, no
matter how unfounded or unjust, must
necessarily injure tho city, unless somo
effectual xvny of combating it can bo dis-
j covered. People will not trado xvith a
I city which they regard as doomed.
Wo believe that this injurious im
E rcssion that Charleston is ruined can
o effectually overcome in one way. If
! tho xvorld could see the xvholo State of
I South Carolina, xvith its million of in
habitants at the back of tne sixty thou
sand in Charleston, determined to up-
; hold nnd rebuild tno old city by tho sea
: as tho metropolis of tho State, a change
I xx-ould come over tho spirit of its dream.
It would see that there is a chance of
success and that the tight is not hope
less. South Carolina bonds, to the
! amount of $3,000,000 or $1,000,000, at
a low intorcst, i sued for tho purposo of
rebuilding Charleston, xvould create n
I now faith in tho city, and capital would
; not be slow to come to help those xvho
show their readiness to help thomselvcs.

It Was Coming.
If nil tho incident! of tlio Chaieston
earthquake should ho collected and
printed thov wo ild nialco iutercsting
reading. Uno of the latest published
j relates to a young couple xvho were
courting xvhen tho shock came. It ex-
j tinguished the lights tilled tho air with
j dust, nnd jammed the doors so that they
would not open. The young man
rushed to a xvindow leading to tho
piazza, but in the dnrk plunged both
hands into a lnrge plant urn full of wa
ter. Sinrting back to tho young lady,
he threw his arms around her, and said:
“Darling, a tidal wave is coming! It is
i lrcady up to the windows 1 Let us dio
together 1” in which position they were
found soon afterward by the family.

A Foolish mill Stubborn liollef
In tlio efficacy of certain remedies of violent
action, is the besetting foible of tho Ignorant
and prejudiced. The indiscriminate use of
purgatives is a very common phase of tbe fa
tuity of such people. Aloes, podyphtllln, dls*
gtilsod tn sugar coating, castor oil, mercury,
and other old fashioned drugs, still hold their
own among this class, and although the suc
cessor Ilostetter’s Stomncli Bitters sufficiently
disproves tho necessity for violence iu medi
cation.the adherents of nn exploded fallacy
still persist in giving and taking inordinate
purgative doses. Dyspepsia.constipation, liver
complaint ere ns certainly and thoroughly
subdued by the B Hers, us they areinvarin-
b y aggravated by an Indiscriminate use of
mrtliciiius, officinal nr proprietary, belonging
to l lie class winch we have condemned. Fever
and ague, nervousness, rheumatism and inac
tivity of the k Idneys. yield to the Blttera.
