Ward said that Grant & Ward did not
Uke anything. That he wrote the words
bimolf' but did not remember anything

„ $3(1000. Opposite one of the
SStrach. were the initials ”C. A.
A" The witness, however, said
tbit President Arthur had no interest
wbstever in it. Many of the contracts and
letters were merely private work- There
ns no system of division of prolits, when
giv occurred, but Ward admitted that he
nsuallv got his share. Fish was the one
who determined what interest each one
bid on contract business, and Ilia decision
in these cases was arbitrary and unques
tioned. When Ward made the
the transfer of $500,000 to Warner of
profits in a transaction he did not know
what securities were taken. Ward was
serred witli a subpoena to testily liefore

Bishop Cross’s Pastoral Letter on the
Subject.
Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist.
In the Catholic churches in Georgia
last Sunday was read the admirable pas
torsi of F.t. Roy. Wm. H. Gross, D. D„
bishop of Savannah, upon the subject of
the work of the church among the colored
people of the State. The letter was im-
portant to those of the faith as conveying
most selemn directions, and is of interest
to the general public as treating of a prob
lem which has puzzled partisans ns well
as patriots, and it now confronting the
■talesmen at every turn; the elevation of
the colored race in the South.
The Right Reverend Bishop says, at the
outset, there are 725,000 negroes in Gcor-
& an amount exceeding the whole nunc
of Indians in the United States. Their
tisiumg for the functions of citizen
ship and for the duties of life, for which
they are daily being called, is a most vital
matter. ’They take their place,” says
Bishop Gross, “ever Increasing, too.
among the mechanics, farmers and trades
men, Ihey will enter the various professions,
and equally be called on to take np arms
ia the hour of the country’s danger.”

commonwealth. An effort must be made

Not Thla Year—Some Other Year.

We would about as soon have a
yellow jacket sting us, be kicked by a
Georgia mule or struck by an average
cyclone as to have the Telegraph and
Messenger after ns in a matter of
wrong we have done and they can get
the record on us. The truth is, when
it is going for some of the boys who
may not be as pure as Camara wife,
we sometimes think it ought to be ar
rested for cruelty to animals, not, how
ever until otter the election of this
year, as its level-headedness upon the
tariff question atones for nearly all its
little sins.
Caorgla va. Maine.
ltorniug News.
Prohibition appears to mean a great
deal more in Georgia than it does in
Maine, There is certainly not so much
parade made over it in the Southern as
in the Northern State. Notwithstand
ing the vast amount of temperance
work that has been done in Maine, the
amount of intoxicating liquor sold with
in it* borders is enormous, and now
when it is proposed to put a prohibition
amendment in the constitution, the
nhicst advocates of temperance in the
State rise up and oppose it on the
ground that it cannot lie enforced, be
cause public sentiment is not ripe for
It. Georgia, quietly and unostenta-
tously, and in a comparatively short
time, has done more genuine tetniicr-
ance work than Maine has, although
Maine has been posing for years before
the country ns a great temperance
State.
ot the negro problem waa not the emigra
tion of the roce, but moat of it remained
for the work of the church to accomplish.
.The Bishop then goea on to declare that
the colored-race will not be elevated by
wealth. “The poeietsion of wealth only
toe often allarea man to the indulgence of
aU those excesses which gold can so easily
Procure.” Nor can mere education be
relied upon to work this reform. Educa-
cation “only too often inflates with pride
and vanity; often renders men unwilling
to work for a livelihood: gives them tastes
above theii position: in life: mastu C...;
attempt to gain money by dishonest
mesns."
“The foundation of all trne worth la mor
ality. Man must honor and eatcem the
chaste, honest and truthful, even though
“lev shcnld be clothed in poorest garments
»j}d unprorlded with a secular education.
The men aqd women adorned with parity,
meekness, humility, honesty and obedience
are Hie citizens who constitute the real
strength of the Btato. Men and women
who are Impure, dishonest and Immoral
are the scourges to society even if they
have been trained to science and have
purtei full of gold.”

Lathiinc church is doing for the colored
people in Georgia, enjoins continuation and
mcreasement of the work, and orders a
eolkction for the establishment of schools
“'chapelsfor the colored people. The
pastoral is ciear, earnest and contains many
practical thoughts as it ia foil of striking
suggestions.

A Cowardly, Dishonest Respect of Per-

Augusta chronicle.
Not long ago, wo understand, a pool
man in Georgia, generally hard-working
and industrious, and the solo support
of a family, to whom, as a rale, he be
haved in an exemplary manner, became
intoxicated; and, while disguised in
liquor, forged an order for $1.50. He
was arrested, tried, convicted and sent
to the penitentiary for a term of years,
He had in money to pay smart lawyer!
and no influence to create public or jury
opinion in his favor. During his incar
ceration—he is still in durance vile—
his heart-broken wife died and serious
trouble came upon his family. We do
not pretend to say that ho was gui”

GATHERED BY CORRESPONDENCE AND
FROM THE PRESS.
AGRICULTURAL CLIPPINGS,
When the. animals are turned out to
grass provide them with salt freely and
regularly. Many good farmers prefer
placing rock salt where Block can get
to it at all times. When this is done
the animals will never take more salt
than is good for them.
Mr. Wm. Sanders, superintendent ol
the Department of Agriculture grounds
ind gardens, in Chicago, says that no
>art of a pear or apple tree coated with
ime, has ever been affected with blight.
A correspondent of the New York
World has long practiced charring re
fuse corn cobs for his hogs. When
thoroughly blackened he sprinkles the
cobs with salt. This induces the hogs
to cat them greedily. His herd has
never been troubled with “hog chol
era.” Has tho charred cobs kept off
thediseaso ? The correspondent thinks
they have.
A few people understand how the
small white onions, pickled, and sold
in glass jars by (jroceryraen, are grown.
Tho same seed is used as for large on
ions, hut it is sown thickly—say forty
or more pounds to the acre, while to
produce the large ones hut livo or six
munils are sown. A rich black mold
s best for onions.
In feeding oats to horses during the
season ofhard labor, remember that the
best are not always those which look
bright and arc free from mustiness or
other odor indicating previous damp
ness or heat; weight of oats determines
value, if their condition is good. Light
oats contain little nutriment. It pays
at this hard-working time ot year to
feed good grain and good hay.
The poultry manure accumulated
during the winter should be carefully
gathered, mixed with dry earth and
used in the garden. Thus prepared it
is better for nearly all vegetables than
the much advertised fertilizers for
which high prices are asked. The best
way to use hen manure is to distribute
K broadcast over the surface soil, and
work it in, but for special purposes it
is sometimes employed with more im
mediate effect in the hills and drills,
with the seed, bnt separated from di
rect contact with it by a little earth.
COAL TAR ON SEED CORN.
Prairie Farmer.
The number of crows is steadily in
creasing in the older Western States.
In some localities they are almost as
dentiful as in New England, and are
tecoming troublesome in the corn
fields. In going about the country one
frequently observes the Eastern devices
of frightening them away. These
“scare crows” arc of some avail, of
course, bat experienced farmers tell us
that the tarring of seed corn is a better
protection. The best way of tarring is
:o place the corn in an old kettle,
pouring on the warm tar
stirring with a paddle
long handled wooden spoon until
the kernels are well covered. To fit it
for handling dry in plaster. This coat'
ing interferes somewhat with using the
corn plaster, but where crows and black
birds are numerous loss of time in plant
ing is far more than compensated lor
by the protection nlforded. Some farm
ers think coal tnr prevents damage by
wire worms and cut worms, but the
point is not well settled. Mice certain
ly do not liko it, and, when numerous
tarring against them is worthy of trial
RING THE SWINE.
Pralrlo Fanner.
When swine are to run on meadow
or pasture, experience teaches that it
is advlsablo to ring them. It is not
trne, as is sometimes asserted, that if
allowed to run at largo habitually they
will not injure such fields. They may
not do it for weeks, and the owner con
clude that rings are useless, hat sud
denly his hitherto circumspect animals
begin to root up the grass and do more
damage in a few days than many times
the cost of ringing. The safest way is
to use rings whenever rooting wonld
bo an injury.
It is not advisable to use rings the
year round, nor on swine of all ajtes.
They are needed most in the Bprmg,
hut it is proper to keep them on during
summer and remove them in autumn,
particularly if the liogs are turned on
mast, or follow cattle in feed lots or
stalk fields. Injury to their fel
lows is sometimes avoided by
using rings upon mischievous ami
vicious swine. Brood sows, in some
cases, acquire the habit ot lifting gates
anil rooting down fences. A couple of
rings eflectuaily euro them of this
habit.
Thero arc not many devices of this
kind, anti some of tlie'm are objection
able. Those are best that arc simple,
cosily inserted nnd removed, close to
the outside, and havo no sharp points
to cause the animat pain when once in'
place and to keep its nose sore.

MILES UNDER THE SEA.
Fishes That Carry Lanterns and Light
Up the Ocoan Depths.
New York Sun.
Many carious forms of fishes have re
cently been found in tho deep sea. One
fish, dredged from a depth of nearly
three miles from the surface, shows a
complete modification of structure. At
this distance from the surface the pres
sure can hardly be realized. It is esti
mated that this fish has to contend
against a pressure equal to two and a
half tons to every square inch of surface.
A sealed glass tube, inclosed in a per
forated copper covering, has at two
miles been reduced to fine powder,
while the metal was out ol sliatie. Yet
the fishes are so constructed that they
withstand tho pressure. Their hotly
and muscular systems arc no’, fully de
veloped; the bones are permeated with
pores nnd fissures. The calcareous
matter is at a minimum, and the hones
of tiro vertebra; are joined together so
loosely that in lifting the larger fieltes
out of’the water they often fall apart.
The muscles are all thin, and the con
necting tissue seems almost wanting.
Yet these fishes arc able to dart about
and capture prey.
Sunlight penetrates only about 1,200
feet lielow the surface of the sea. At
,000 feet the temperature lowers to 10
degrees fahrenbeit, and from about a Low middling.,
mile from the surface to the bottom,
four or five miles, the temperature is
about the same the world over—just
above freezing. How do thefishesand
other forms that live here see? Their
eyes are modified as well as their other
tarts. The fishes that live 500 feet
rom the surface have larger eyes
than those in the zone above
them, so that they can absorb the
faint rays that reach them. In a
zone below this many forms with small
eyes begin to have curious tentacles,
icelers, or organs of touch. Many of
these deep sea fishes have special or
gans upon their sides nnd heads that
are known to possess luminous quali
ty. Other organs are considered acces
sory eyes, so that the fishes have rows
of eyes upon their ventral surfaces
looking downward, while near are
luminous spots that provide them with
light. I
One of the largest of these deop-sea
torch bearers is a fish six feet long witli
a tall dorsal fin extending nearly the
entire length of the body. The tips of
this fin are luminous, nnd also a broad
patch upon its head. Along the sides
ot the body are a double row of lumin
ous spots. One of the most ferocious
of these deep-sea fonns is the clianlio-
dus. Its month is fairly overflowing
with teeth, that protrude in a most for
bidding manner. The fins are all tip
ped with flaming spots, while along
the dorsal surface extends a row of
spots that appear like so many win
dows in tho trail, through which light
is shining. •
The little fishes called Bombay ducks
are luminous oven their entire surface,
and when numbers are collected to
gether they present an astonishing
spectacle. One of tho most interesting
of these light-givers is the chiasmodus,
a fish that attains a length of only thir
teen- inches. The top of its head is the
principal light-giving organ, and its fins
gleam with phosphorescent light. It
is not alone remarkable as n light-
giver. It has jaws so arranged that it
can seize ilsli twieo its sizo and easily
swallow them. Its stomach has tho
clastic quality of India rubber. It
stretches to enormous proportions, and
appears like a great transparent balloon
hanging under tho fish and containing
its prey.
The last expedition sent out by
France brought to light some remarka
ble fonns. The dredge off Morocco
brought up from a depth of one and n
half a miles fish that appeared to be
all head or mouth. It was of mall
size, nnd the length of tho mouth was
nlxmt four-fifths of tho entire hotly, so
that, ifthe entire body had lieen sev
ered behind tho bend, it and two or
three like it could have been stowed
away in the capacious pouch. It prob
ably moves very slowly, scooping mu<k
and ooze iuto its mouth, gifting out the
animal parts and rejecting tho rest.

Adulterated Food.
Hew York Tribune.
Tbc makers of bogus butter have ex
hibited a lock of moral perception in
which tlioy have swiftly been imitated
by other adulterators. The men who
are now charged with sophisticating
coffee witli deleterious aulMtanccs at
once undertake to justify the practice
by asserting, in effect, that competition
with dishonesty renders it necessary to
be dishonest. The most remarkable
fact, however, to that ail the recent de
tected adulterations have been of arti
cles largely used for food, and that
though the use of unwhuirsome and
in some instances absolutely poison
ous substances is alleged, no
qualms appear to have troubled the
producers of these frauds as to the con
sequence* of their action. Apparently
the modern adulterator cares nothing
whether he causes the deaths ot any
number of his fellow-creatures. He is
irepared to use whatever drugs, chom
