Theodora hung her bead, and turn

“Yes,” she said, almost inaudihly.
“Only I am ashamed to say so. Oh,
papa, I have behaved so badly'. I
never should have taken it for granted
j that Mr. Ilervey was like the rest ”
And then infinitely to Mr. Hervey’s
amusement, she told the wholeinter-
view with Deacon Powers. Mr. Heed
smiled as he stroked Theo’s head.
“My little girl is only a little girl,”
said ho, “and sometimes forgets that
the tongue is an unruly member. Bat
she will improve as.she grows older.”
Mr. Hervey spent the summer at
Winfield. He was revising the proof
sheet of a theological volume, and liked
the uuiet and seclusion oft lie little vil
lage: l’eibaps, too, he Bked Some-
t fling else aiiout It. At all events al
though be. did hot make the parsonage
his h<mie,' fie spent a good deaf of time
there.
“Theo,” he said one day—they had
become last friends by this rime—“you
have tasted so many of the petty trials
aud annoyances of being a minister’s
ikughtcr, that I wonder if you would
ever consent to lie a minister’s wife ”’
“Well,” said Tbeo, half laughing,
half blushing, “it woulddepend agood
deal upon who the minister was.”
“tiuppose it was Henry Hervey t"
“Dp you really mean it!” saldTnco,
suddeuly growing grave.
“It is strange. 5n’t it,” said he, “that
I sliould lose my heart on such a little
termagant as you proved yourself tlie
first day I ever saw you? But it is a
foregone I'oiuiusion—-I am entirely at.
your mercy.”
I' aeon Powers could not compre
hend it at all. “If lie marries such a
higli-iempereil girl as that,” lie said,
“lie does it at his peril. Why, I .never
was so berated In my life as I was that
day at tlie parsonage.”
“But, pa,” said the deacon’s daugb-.
ter, “every woman finds her master
sooner or later.”

note requesting tlie News axoAovek-
tisek tocopy: . *.
Judge Strong was holding epurt in
1832 at Macon. There was a very ex
citing trial for murder. Henry Byroin,
a noted gambler and desperado, hail
killed Thomas M. Ellis iu Macon, a
gentleman of high standing. The ac
cused was supported by a powerful in
fluence, growing but of the failure of
the Bunkof Macon, of-which Mr.
Ellis had the chief control. The best
of legal talent was employed by the
friends of By rom. Bail had been re
fused.
The trial opened. A rumor was
afloat that in; the event of conviction a
rescue would be attempted In the court
room, and that; the prisoner, the mo
ment the verdict was delivered, would
ghoot the Judge, and then the uproar
would commence.
This reached the ears of Judge
Strong. He provided himself with a
brace of pistol, charged the jury with
firmness, and continued iu his seat
with a pistol in each hand, concealed
trader his cloak until the return of tlie
jury. While their names were called
he kept.his.eyes fixed on the prisoner,
and had determined, if the verdict had
been “guilty”#ud the prisoner had
made the slightest deraqristration, to
have shot him dead in the box. “No:
guilty” w as the verdict. The above
tacts were, from the lips of Judge
.Strong himself. By rom was killed a
few years after in MiJledgeville by
Itobert McComb, in self-defense.

A MAGNIFICENT HOTEL.
Pspnlftriiy With the Traveling
Public.
Atlanta Journal.
No matter what’futiire changes may
take plaht ?h Atlanta, the Markham-
House will never lose any of its great
prestige and popularity as a first-class
hotel—a pleasant stopping- place for
the weary traveler; For the past sev-
has come to be the temixwary home of
distinguished people who.cometo At
lanta from all parts of Georgia. It Is
no less popubtr with the army of com
mercial travelers who visit this section
of the South, and they are never made
to feel more at home elsewhere than at
tlie Markham. Under the-manage
ment of Mr-- William Markham, as
sisted by his genial and ever-obliging
son, Mr. Marcellos Markham, tlie
house is constantly winning new
friends, as the well-filled pages of the
register will show. No expense is
spared iu supplying the table with the
best of everything to be found in At
lanta^and other-markets.
The Markham has perhaps never
been under as excellent management
as at present, the rooms arc more ele
gantly furnished, and while it is as
handsome and stylish throughout and
as complete in all its appointments as
could be wished, there is a refreshing
absence of red tape—a fact which in
creases its popularity with the travel
ing public. It furnishes comforts ami
attentions rarely to be obtained in a
bote) and which are ip. every wav
appreeiated by its nnmerotis guests.
The delighted clerk figured up, and
then asked:
“If we sehd you the bill around In
about a year yon can tell the boy when
tocali again, can’t.you?”
“No, I’ll pay you now,” said the
other, taking oat a roll of bills.
-Tbe;newspaper man’s eyes bulged
as lie said: - .
“Ah! yon wrapt, to ask for 75 per
cent, discount and 25 per cent, off for
cash?”
“I am willing to pay a fair price for
value received. Tell pie your regular
rates and here is your money.”
A beatific smile spread over the wan
face of tiie worn clerkashe'innrmureil:
“Stranger, when did you come,
down, aim when .do you expect the
rest of the apostles along?”
milo Maize.
G. W. Beaton in.PJwrnix Agriculturist,
May I presume somewhat upon your
space, with a few remarks and sugges
tions regarding Hillo Maize ?jj
Many enquiries continue to be made
as to harvesting this crop. It was-my
good fortune last season to make full
crops of seed, canes and fodder, from a
single , field of Hillo Maize. At the
same time upon another field the seed
remain longer on the
was pertBTtt>arw^ r v-- ,., Iflrtpr and
stalk, which cxhai
they rotted. From that field,
I made only seed and fodder. I en
deavored in my public statements to
explain how to obtain the three crops,
still, for fear that some, if not many,
might fail to save the. canes in tbetr
Wish to get seed, I advised every one
;tp pull the early forming seed heads,
alms enriching the r canes and en
suring their being saved with the fod
der.—I learned very shortly after mak
ing this suggestion, that the Zulu caf-
reres had, years gone by, practiced the
pulling of the pahicles from Sorghum
for the purpose of Increasing the sugary
quality of that plant. Atoncel adopt
ed tbe name of “Zulu-plan,” forthe
certain method by which to secure rich
Mlllo canes.
The early i formation, of tlie hu<i or
seed-bead is readily noticed In the
swelling of the boot Of the top leaf.
When yon are satisfied that this form
ation has occurred, and jnst before the
bud spreads tbe boot to come out, take
hold of the boot top with the left hand
and with the right bend over and puli
down the pink-le; the stem breaks
beadlly. These tops, are much relished
ry all stock and are excellent feed. If
the seed-heads are .out, the same pro
cess for removing them will ordinarily
succeed, but. failing in that, use the
knife. •
As to tbe best time; to strip tbe fod
der: Cut off 1 the immature tops and
out the immature suckers, (for binding
in bundle.- andcnruigthe.same a-corn-
fodder.) Iwonld suggest leaving a few
bills for making seed: These plants
should represent the. average stand of
the patch, and when the. seed upon
these is ripe the presumption is that
the pulled seed-heads would have ma
tured—the cane is thenipaturc. If you
have time before 'frost to do so, give the
a.-’.ies a week or longer before stripping
(hem, always hearing in ini ltd that’the
fodder pulling should bn done two or
three weeks before, frost. .My cranes
will he ripe by the middleof September
or before, but I shall not pull the fod
der before-October 1st.
At the risk of repeating, I will say,
that the fodder, the tops, and the voung
suckers, come under the head of im
mature forage and must becure<l, while

Detroit Free Frees. - ,
A Detroiter who was spending sev
eral days in a town in the interior
soon discovered that every villager
whom he was introdneed to had n fond
ness of betting. They’d bet. on any-
thing, from the color of a horse on the
hilla mile and a-hnlf away to tbe num
ber of flies which would lighten a pane
of glass in a given time. The- Detroit
er kept, clear of any wagers for a day
or two and then put up a job. He got
a string and secretly measured the
distance from the hotel steps to a cer
tain hitching post and dext day when
the betting fever began to rage, he
showed his hand.
“Gentlemen,” eaid lie, “I am not a
betting man, hut seeing that yon are
anxious for a wager of. some sort I’ll
lay $25 that 1 can guess within a foot
of the distance to that liitching post.” )
“Done!” cried the voice'of-the land
lord.- aud the money was put up.
“Now, what do yon guess?”;
■“Nihety-seven'fec-t.”
By his measure it Was six- inches
more. He had measured the strife;,
twice over with a rule, and ho feltthat
he was $25 ahead. -One of the boys
r:u tor s tape line, aud the measure
was taken iu a manner no one couid
dispute.. The figures were'ninety-nine
feet, and the landlord had won."
“I don’t see bow that Is,” mattered
the Detroiter, bnt a second measure
ment verified .the figures. It was a
full hour before he recovered from the
stunning blow. Then be walked over I
to the post aud discovered that some|
time during the previous night, hi
