Newspaper Page TextThe greatest Bourbon In America Is John Sherman. Carl Schurz rises to remark that no honest man can support Gov. Hill. - Was it the Mugwump policy or the Democratic party that dropped in Ohio? • Ik Cromwell was dead why did not the Legislature call upon Grady. He lives. The Boston Herald thinks that ‘^Bunker Hill ideas” now dominate the South. If so, why raise such a fuss atxxit the South’s having a voice in the Government? The Mugwump short line route, which Mr. Cleveland travels, did not make schedule time in Ohio by our Democratic clock. But our old piece is not a stem-winder. Pt'CK dresses Hill up in a red shirt. This ought to commend him to the Republicans. It would be a badge of honor in Ohio, where the bloody shirt waves with success. America* missionaries in China are reaping the unpleasant fruits of the Wyoming outrage. It would be too much to ask of the heathen Chinee to manifest Christian patience ami chari ty- It was Conkling that struck Murat Halstead the blow. He secured the letter which made the hater of the South writhe in agony. Let the barbed arrow wing its way until old Halstead can say “it was mine own hand that dealt the blow.” The stolidity of President Cleveland, us a passive spectator of events upon the result of which the future of the Democratic party depends, is such a wonderful pose for moral effect in es tablishing reform that the Mugwumps are rejoiced, and even the Democrats of Ohio voted with the Republican: to preserve this new order of political equilibrium. The Atlanta papers teem with com pliments to the members of the Legis lature. Each fellow was “a man of powerful intluL-iice among the mem bers.” That was the trouble. A house full of little great men. Bibb county, it is said, sent the ablest dele gation. It U not to be wondered, then, that the Legislature sat so long. Abide with roe: fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide: When other helpers fail, and comforts flee. Help of the helpless, O abide with me. Swift to its close ebbs oat life’s little day; Earth’* joy. grow dim, its gtorie* pas* away. Change and decay in all around I see; 0 tnou who ebangest not. abide witli me. I need thy presence every paasing'hour; What but tbv grace can foil the tempter’s power? Who. tike tbyself, my gnide and stay can be ? Through cloud aud sunshine, Lord, abide with me. I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless: Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where Is death’s sting? where, grave, thy victory? 1 triumph still, if thou abide with me. Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes; Shiro- through the gloom, and point me to the skies; Heaven * morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee; In life, in death. O Lord, abide with me. THE BREVSTER DIAMONDS. Wk hear men, high in social position, abounding in wealth aud plenty, and sturdy pillars of their respective churches, indulge in profane utter- riioos. Such words strike the hearer like blows. It Is a stoop for men noted for coolness, self-possession, self-com mand and even loftiness of character, to soil their mouths with hot-house language. The brightness of Gen. Toombs will Hash out, now and thou, in the midst of his disordered mind. A few days since he turned suddenly to one of the attendants in his sick room and asked this question, “Has the Legis lature adjourned?” On receiving au answer in the negative, he quickly re plied, “Send for Cromwell, send for ' C ro m well.” Gen. Lkk’s army is marching through Virginia. But it is not the march of war. Peace is on his ban ners. But Ohio declares for war. As Gon. Lee marches over the mountains and valleys of Virginia thousands ol men ami women dock to hear him. Cavalcades meet him miles from the towns and escort him. Hundreds of the Virginia ladies dressed in red, white and blue, colors symbolic of the unity between Virginia and her sister states, meet him and strew flowers in hlspach. The Philadelphia Daily News con gratulates the country on the progress of the negroes in Mississippi in thai they will hold a fair, where prizes will be given as at the fairs of white people. “The number and variety of the prfaes,” it says, “shows that the colored man no longer works in a lim ited field, but that he is now free to do anything that his white brother does except one tiling—he certainly is not . allowed to vote with freedom.” It is Very strange that the Northern press bellovus John Sherman’s lies in the faee of the protest of the whole South ern press, but it gratifies its feelings of hate, ami we must just endure it patiently. Tina from the Telegraph is true and speaks for itself: “The most regreta- ble thing about the triumph of the “bloody shirt” in Ohio, is that it will compel the South to remain solid, and SO lung as the South is compelled to do this for the protection of State and so ciety, hej^-retti force cannot be pm forth iipon economic questions, and tlie will f till be misrepresented to a large degree by small-bore statesmen L la the National Assembly. The Re publicans Intend to keep the South grilled and on guard, by day and night, while the North draws from the pub lic treasury, to increase its wealth and strength. . „ The Republicans in Columbus, Ohio, wanted to create a riot because the Democrats displayed a bloody shirt. Whereupon, “forgenuine idiots,” says the Constitution ? “commend us to the Qhiu rfepubjicqijs,” Nut at all so. The Mbloody shirt” is certainly the person $1 property of the- Republican party, and it was an invasion of “vested rights” for the Democrats to tamper >vith, the sacred ‘garment. To the Re- pqblicgns this garment is a synonym Of sqpcess 5 if Is their political battle flflg, and with it they can arouse that always existing, though sometimes la tent, sentiment of sectional spite and 111 will against the South. That scrip ture whiflh teaches “peace on earth and good will toward men 1 ’ is regarded in tho North in the same •fight as the old Constitution—“a league with hell and a covenant with the devil.” Everybody knows of the unhappi ness of poor Nellie Sartoris. She would not now remain with her hus band but for the English law, which will not give the control of the chil dren to her. About, the time that 5feUie Grant married. Mary Anderson, |l|e Jtentqcky girl, appeared upon the SWgc, Their lives have beeu different Indeed. In refcronoe thereto the _ tfaqon Telegraph says: “And away ofl yonder in her saddened English home, bowed with sorrow and embittered with neglect, sits the lonely woman on whom, when the young actress trem bled on the threshold of fame, fortune’s favors were falling in abundant show ers. What a contrast is afforded iu the lives of the two women, still yon no- who first saw the light about the same time and at points near together. Ad venturers they both were; successful l»th; but the accident of fortune which lifted one to the social summit, left her a wreck at twenty-nine, wl.de sustained by her own genius the other defies fortune and commands success. How truly American it all •eems! r • • “ “And you say that the diamonds were very valuable?” interrogated a plainh’ dressed man seated at one side of the table. ‘‘Worth twenty thousand dollars. Mr.—what may I call your name? asked Harold Brewster. Oh—Smith,” responded the man. Quite a common name, that; but I suppose it will suffice as well as any,” said Mr. Brewster. “Precisely.” A short interval of silence then elapsed. It is quite evident that the two are studying one another—Mr. Brewster because the man is a stran ger, and the latter because it is his •ailing. Finally, Mr Brewster broke the silence by asking,— “You arc a detective?” Smith acknowledged this hy simply bowing. “And do you think, Mr. Smith, that you can help me to recov er the jewels?” “I can try ” “So can any one try,” quickly inter rupted Brewster. “Let me finish, please,” said Smith. “When 1 try I succeed, if you wish my sendees give me some points. Tell me who the diainonnds belonged to. Give me some explicit idea as to their forms, number, and tlr* like. I cannot work in the dark blindfolded, Mr. Brewster.” “That’s a fact. Well, in the first place, the jewels are only family heir looms. They consist of a necklace, car- drops, and a pair of bracelet-. All! by the way, 1 can give you a better idea by these,” said Mr. Brewster, tak ing from a drawer a box. He took tin cover oil", and there, ensconced among downy cotton, was a perfect mas- of glittering, shimmering jewels. Smith uttered an ejaculation of surprise a.- his eyes fell upon the sparkling gems. “You seem surprised, Smith; well, they are pretty fair counterfeits,” sai I Brewster, as he laid tiie diamonds upon the table. “Counterfeits, did you say?” asked Smith as he bent lower to examine them. “Precisely; they are but paste repre sentations. They are the same iu size and number as the originals; were made expressly for such an occasion as this. Please examine them closely, Mr. Smith, for by these must we re cover the originals.” The detective took the pieces up one by one and ex amined closely. He counted the stones, noticed the quaint old-fashion ed setting, which was intricate, deli cate, aud a marvel of skilled handi work. “And you say these arc ‘bogus.” “Yes sir. If the originals were here you could then compare the two sets.” “Who usually wore the real ones?” “My daughter, which was seldom; for she is an invalid and goes in society hut little. Poor Lucy! she does not even know that the diamonds are miss- i»R.” “Does not know? What do you mean, Mr, Brewster?” “The two sets are kept in a secret drawer in my desk at home. The orig inals in a plain white box: these in a blue box, as you see.” “Precisely; goon.” “If possible I would like to recover the diamonds before my daughter |j n j s out about the mattor. ’ You may pro ceed iu your own maimer, Mr Smith. If you succeed in recovering the jew els* and punishing the thief, I shall not hesitate to reward you handsomely.” “Of course you will allow me to take these,” said *Sinith, pointing toward the counterfeits. “Certainly; they arc only paste,” said Mr, Browser, as he laid the bogus jewels back into their downy nest. Smith took the box, rose, but toned his coat, and turned to leave, when he suddenly asked, as lie looked over his shoulder— “Does your daughter know of the existence of these bogus jewels ?” “She does,” “Let me see—ryou have a son ?” in quired Mr. Smith, l I have.” Ts he a member of the firm ?” ‘No, sir.” ‘What does lie do?” Sir, my son is a gentleman of leis ure.” “ThatV. all: good night?” and the door closed behind the officer's form. Jack Smith was one of the best men on the force. He was sharp, cunning and knew not the meaning of the word fear. As he wended ills way from Harold Brewster's olHce lie began to cogitate, to wonder If there was no possible light ahead concerning the case in hand. Just as he was about to pass a jewelry store a sudden thought illuminated his mind. He stepped in, and showing the bogus diamonds to the proprietor, asked him one question. .When Jack Smith enjevged fv-om the door a strange look was upon Ids face, and he hugged the box more closely to his breast as he threaded the great Broadway throng. Fred Brewster was one of those gav, petted darlings of society, of which New York has a surfeit, lie toiled not, neither did he spin, yet no one of the fashionable set in which he moved had finer rqimeut nor spent more money lavishly. Per haps if Fred had had .some aim In life, Iiis lot would not have been as vapid as it is. But, as tiie case now stands iie is rapidly going to the dogs. He knows it, and bis boon companions know it; but he cared as little for his mistaken career as they did. He was petted by his mother and sister, and, father condoned his many foiblps by saying: “Let flip bqy sow his wil'd oats; he’ll settle down soon enough.” The jouug man gambled; was a fre quenter of sporting circles of every de scription, and did not disdain to* bet hundreds of dollars on 4 brutal prize- ring affair. Upon the evening foliow« ing the interview between Harold Brewster and the detective, while Fred was In one of the noted gambling resorts on —- Street, he found that a plainly dressed man of middle age was watching him closely. It troubled him exceedingly, and made him care less in his play.’ The cousequeuce was when he rose from the game he found that he had lost five hundred dollars. He went to the bar and called for braii- dv. After drinking it he took his de parture. The middle aged man who watched him so closely wqs at his heels. “Look here, strqngpr,” said Fred, turning to the Other when the pair had reached the walk, “am l such an object of curiosity that you must keep vour eyas upon me?” “Be calm Mr. Fred Brewster. I ar rest you in the name of the law,” said Jack Smith; for he was in one of many disguises. \MvGod! Arrest me? For what?” gasped the young man, starting back. ‘No matter; come with me,” simply returned Smith. The young man now saw that it would be utterly out of the question to offer resistance, and so he accompanied the officer. The pair passed biro Broadway, and after reachiug and passing through Bond Street, went down the Bowery. A strange expression of fear came upon Fred’s face when the officer told him to step into a pawnshop with him near Canal Street crossing. “The ticket, please,” said Smith. Fred trembled in every limb; his face was the picture of abject despair. “What—what do you—mean?” he ejaculated. The pawn ticket for the diamonds, *' out his pocket book, and, extracting the slip of paper from its contents, and passed it to Mr. Smith. “Now- Friend Jacob, I’ll take that lot of dia monds, in the white box, please,” said Smith handing the ticket to the Jew behind the counter. “Yes, mine frent, but I mast ha mine monish. Twenty-five tollar, an’ fife for de use of de monish,” return ed the Jew*. Smith handed him the required amount, and took the dia monds. After the pair luid reached the street, the detective said to. the thoroughly astonished young man: “Now, my yoimg tunu, let me give you a piece of advice; mend yonr ways; change your manner of living, and be a man for your mother’s sake.” “And—am I—at liberty?” asked Fred, a* the other turned to leave. “You are: go and- do the right thing hereafter. But recollect there is one mail who knows of your crimes, and will not hesitate to use this incident against you if you ever give him oc- cassion.” Th next day. while Harold Brewster was seated in his office, he was startled by tiie appearance of Smith, the detective. ’Ah, Smith, 1 see by your face that you have succeeded.” “I have; there are your diamonds,” said Smith, laying the two boxes upon the table. “I’m so happy! Are they not beau ties?” asked Mr. Brewster, liftiug the glittering jewels from the w’hlte box. “They are fair,” replied Smith, smiling. “Fair! What do you mean? They are w urth twenty thousand dollars. Compare them ’with those,” said Brewster, taking the jewels from the blue box. “Suppose you tell me which are the originals, the genuine ones,” said Smith. Mr. Brewster looked up quickly and asked: “What do you mean?” “Simply this. Mr. Brewster—the real diamonds have not been stolen at all.” “Eh ? not stolen! 1—bless my soul! What do you mean, man?” “It is the truth, Mr. Brew’ster. The boxes must have got changed, or rath er tiie contents. You gave me the real diamonds, and l have reeoveied the bogus ones.” The listener -was so thoroughly as tonished that he could not speak at first. Finally lie asked— “How did you learn of it?” Smith then told the astonished mer chant how he had stepped into a jewel ler’s store and asked tiie proprietor to examine the jewels au> I tell him their value, lie also told Mr. Brewster how he had found the paste gems in a Bow ery pawnshop. “And did you not capture the thief?” asked Mr. Brewster. “Don’t press that part of the case, Mr. Brewster, please, i guess he has had a lesson.” After receiving re muneration fur his services the detec tive 100k his departure. Mr. Brewster never quesiio-. d bis son because of his changed manner of living, but be imagined he knew the reason of Fred’s change for the better. Some Striking Sentence* of Sam Jomcs.

How about Brother B? ‘’Well, lie’s a good man, a very good mail, but seem.- to like his drain.” You can take this disjunctive conjunction “but” and chip character all to pieces with it in a minute.

GLAD THAT 1US CHILD DIED. If l have anything special, in refer ence to my wife and children, to be grateful for. it is this: I have no child that ever looked into my face when 1 was not a consecrated Christian man. God gave us one when I was wrecked, wayward and godless. That little child lived and looked iu my face when I was godless and profane and wretch ed, and God took her to heaven, i shall live a Christian as long as God gives me a child to look in my face, and when l get to heaven I will fall down and beg pardon of that sweet little angel that she ever saw me when I wasn’t a Christian. [Tears.] MONEY AND COMMUNISM. “Yes,” you say, “Jones Is preach ing communism.” I am not. 1 tell you this to-day, there isn’t a man in this country that fights communism stronger than 1 do. 1 have no sympa thy with this low-down nick of 'God’s creation going round here doing notfi- aud waiting everything that everybody else has, and l have got 110 sympathy with the fellow' that has got a big pile of it, and won’t give any away. That’s the way I feel about it. 1 have found out that money is like a walking-stick. One will help you along if you are lame, but fifty loaded on your back will break you down. That’s so, and the matter with some of you people is that you are loaded dowu with money. Money is like guano; if you will put it on too thick it will burn up everything. And so money, if you load it on too heavily, will spoil a inau. The richest man the world ever saw was also oue of the best.

Shelter and Cost of Feed—A Batch of Note* and snff(estioni) that will Repay the Farmer to Head Over Caret ally. Shelter once erected costs but little.^ yet it is equal to an annual crop in the saving of feed In the winter. This fact. has become so apparent of late years that scientists are able, to approx imate the value of food in proportion to the warmth of the quarters, and tiie method of management. Professor Morrow, of the Illinois Agricultural College, maintains that little or no pro fit can be expected from full feeding cattle that are not properly sheltered, and he has tested the matter by num erous ex peri meats. During three suc cessive winters yearlings and 2-year- old steers were kept with the shelter of straw stacks, with abundant straw and corn fodder, some hay anJ corn, with plenty of water; but he found them to weigh no more the 1st of April than they did in November. A number of fat steers were sold in November, which were kept twenty days at the request of the buyer, during which time the weather became very cold. They ate 100 bushels of corn,’besides hay and straw; but the total gain of the whole (eleven) was only forty pounds. A comparison of such small gains in the winter with the heavy weights of cattle fed in summer, wheu the weather is warm and the conditions are favorable, may be easily made. During several seasous yearling steers of different breeds made average gains of 225 pounds, and later of 480 pounds in six months. Two-year-old steers did even better, one of them attaining 525 pounds in six months. All these weights were from grass alone. With a - better system of (ceding, calves have been produced weighing from 350 to 400 pounds at six mouths old; from GOO to 700 poti nds at one year old; from 1,000 to 1,100 pounds at two years old, on good pasture and some gra’in, which shows that as the food was digested it was appropriated to growth aud fat without being-thrown off as heat. The value of good shelter is in main taining the heat of the body. As the heat is produced from the food, it is apparent that the warmer the animal is kept in winter the less food is re quired to supply its wants. As the winter is un excellent time for fatten ing the stock, owing to outdoor work being sus|>emled, there is no better as sistant for that purpose than good dry quarters. Before the animal can lay 011 fat the ordinary demands for the heat of tiie body must be provided, and during very severe fnd cold seasons the animal cannot even appropriate sufficient food to create tiie necessary beat to sustain life when exposed with out shelter. Every pound of flesh lost must be renewed, and every day that an animal is led without gaining in flesh is so much time lost that can never be regained. Shelter, then, is econom ical in enabling the animals not only to supply themselves with sufficient heat, but to store on fat, and it repre sents just so much grain or hay. The more complete the building for the purjioses intended the better, and the more comfortable the animals the lus ter they will increase iu weight. One should not wait till the sea son becomes eold before erecting the’ shelter, as a good start in the fall will materially assist the animals to enter the winter full of vigor and w’ell pre pared to endure the cold, provided they are properly cared for. As the cattle will gain from good shelter, so will the pigs and sheep, which would should also be kept warm. Eveuxhe' poultry will lay iu winter if-kept- warm aud comfortable. rite flofiH Style.

The Floating Island Is a feature of Florida strange to strangers. Often after great raius followed by long and steady winds, here and there, til our lakes and rivers may be seen mats composed of “bonnets,” water lilies, woven together by their roots and ap parently compact, ranging in extent from a quarter to two or three acres. These will move to and fro, as the wind wills, and to the Inexperienced person at a distance excite great curi osity. Almost all the comparatively still waters are covered by a luxuri ant growth of theso bonnets. They are water plants with bat slight con nection with the earth. Their leaves areas large as “shaker bonnets” and not unlike them; hence the name. The rising waters sever their connec tion with the bottom, the winds break the great bodies of them into frag ments. and they float majestically away. Akin Stivender was the first naviga tor of Lake Griffin and came very near laying bis bones to rest in the quick sands of the Ocklawaha on his first trip. His crew consisted of himself, an Irishman and a negro. As they entered the OcklawUui, poling the barge, they found it full of floating islands. In cutting through one of these the only spade aboard went over board. One of two things had to be done; get that spade or push back and get another. Tiie water was about 20 feet deep. Their poles would just touch the bottom. Mr. S. stripped and climbed down a pole, standing on the bottom where the spade sank. In groping for the spade he lost the pole, ami on coming up found be was be neath a floating island. It was a des perate extremity, but he made a des perate fight for life, and in his gles forced one hand through men saw this and catching his hand dragged him up. He saved that spade. CUBE FOB PILES.

Price K. HUsman & Co. The New Agricultural Editor. At 2 o’clock p. m. the first visitor showed up at the door of the office, aud Dyke cordially invited him inside. The farmer enterecftfesitatingly and re? marked that be had expected to meet the proprietor, with whom he had an appointment to discuss ensilage. “I am In charge of the journal, 1 said Dyke. “Oh, you are. Well, you seem to have a pretty offieeliere.” “Yes,” replied Dyke. “But about the ensilage. Ensilage is pretty good breed, isn’t it?” “Breed!” exclaimed the fanner, “why—” “l mean it’s a sure crop, something that you can rely—” “Crop! Why it isn’t a crop at all. 1 “Yes, yes, I know it isn’t a crop, 1 said Dyke, perspiring until his collar began to melt away down the back of his neck, “but you can do better and # cleaner with a good sharp ensilage on* stubby ground, than—” Take it for a stubby plow, do you?” “No, no,” said Dyke. “You don’t seem to understand me. Now, if a faimer builds au ensilage on low ground— “Builds an ensilage! You seem to have got the thing mixed up with some kind of a granary.” “Pshaw, no,” continued Dyke. “I must make myself plainer. Yon see this ensilage properly mixed with one part guano ..nd three parts hypophos- piiate of antimony, with the addition of a little bran and tnubark, aud the whole flavored with chloride of lime, makes a top dressing for strawberry beils which—” “Why ensilage isu’t no manure.” “No, certainly not,” said Dyke. “I know it is not often used in that way. You don’t catch my drift. When 1 said top dressing 1 meant turkey dressing—stuffing, you know—for Thanksgiving—” * “Great heavens, mau! Ensilage isu’t a human food.” No, uot a human food exactly,” said poor Dyke, grinning like an alms house idiot, “it isn’t food at all in the true sense of the word. My plan has always been to lasso the hog with a trace chain, and after pinning his ears back with a clothespin, put the ensilage into his nose with a pair of tweezers.” “My good hinds!

Husted went on to say. “It was in the Masonic lodge. 1 divulge no unrevealed mystery of the order wheu I say that the gavel is nowhere so su preme as in the Graud Lodge. It is supremacy itself. To it the delegates bend as quickly as privates in a great army, as the members of every parlia mentary or deliberate body should. 1 remember an incident in my career at Albany which is timely here. It is customary when the exigencies of busi ness, as in the case of the election of Regents of the University of the State of New York, Uuited States Senators, call the Senate and Assembly into joint session, for the lower to receive the upper house in its chamber. The courtesies and customs of these sessions demand that on the entrance of the Senate Assembly shall rise. On sever al occasions before I first became Speaker of the Assembly I had wit nessed these ceremonies. «I recalled the fact that in each case the Speaker, when the Semite was at the door, re quested the Assembly to rise. To my notion this was exceedingly undigui- fied and reflected ou the deportment of the Assembly, who ought to know its duty as well as its presiding officer. Think how a gentleman would feel walkiug into a drawing room to be told that he must not spit on the floor. I resolved that if I ever became S{leak er—and I am free to confess that I had no doubt of it—things would be differ ently done. During my first term a joint session became necessary. 'Hie looked-for opportunity was at hand. On the day fixed and at the hour the Sergeant-at-Arms announced the arri val or the Senate in the usual form. During the pause which followed 1 raised my gavel and, looking calmly at the House, brought it down three times iu sucessien. The next moment 75 men were on their feet, aud natur ally those who did not rospond arose' by’inspiration. A single blow Inter on, when the Senate was received, brought the whole assemblage to a sitting pos ture. Alter adjournment an ex-^peak- er came to me to find out how it hap pened that the Assembly arose with out the usual request. ‘I asked the members to rise’ I said ‘No,* my in quisitive predecessor said, you didn’t, tor not a word was said.’ ‘But,’ 1 added, ‘I heard the three blows?’ ‘Is that a Masonic sign?” he asked cur iously. ‘I did not say so,’ was my re sponse. The gavel, at any rate, had done the talking.” On a Variety of Subjects Interest ing - to Housekeepers. A handful of bay in a pail fall of water neutralizes smell of paint. .

Hooskeepers who are bothered by having white marble stoops, bulls or walks to keep clean can save time and labor by having them washed with a mop w*hich has been dipped in boiling hot water and soda. A good deal of it should be put in the water and allow ed to dissolve. It is astonishingly ef fective. To clean marble, brush off the dust with a piece of chamois, then apply with a brush a good coat of gum arab le of abont the consistency of thick mucilage; expose it to the sun or wind to dry. In a short time it will peel off. If all the gum does not peel off, w’asb it with clean water and a clean cloth. If the first application should not have the effect it should be tried again. A good cleaning mixture can be made with two ounces bar soap finely shaved, two teaspoonfnls of powdered saltpeter. Put these iu a large open- mouthed bottle and add one and one- half pints of warm w’ater. Shake well occasionally. It will be ready for use in two or three days. It is just the thing to use in washing delicate color ed articles, also add to the water for shampooning the head, and a little ad ded to water and sprayed upon plants, kills any insects which may infest them, while at the same time it is fer tilizing. Autumu Plantinf. Atlanta Constitution. No single class of plants give more pleasure in early spring than bulbs do, but to have them in perfection iu spring we must plant them now'. Sep tember and October are the best months for planting them. To iu- sure fine flowers, strict attention must be paid to the soil in w'hich you plant them. An equal portion of river saud, well rotted cow manure and good gar den mould; add to this as great por tion of leaf mould as yon can get. The bed should be thoroughly dug to the depth of eighteen inches and slightly raised above the level of the walks. The bulbs should then be planted from six to eight inches apart aud from four to five inches deep. Protect them as soon as frost sets In, not before, by a covering of three or four inches of manure, on straw' or hay. Double hyacinths are much sought after, but the Roman or siugle white hyacinth is more hardy and come earlier, and are greatly admired. A bed of the double iu purple, orange, red, pink aud white makes a beautiful combination. Tulips are seldom seen now in our gardens, and yet no other class of flowers presents a more vivid or varied appearance, and the cost of the bulbs is so trifling, every garden ought to have a bed. Tulips should always be planted in a circular, bed and of mixed tulips, w hich are by far the brightest and most showy. Scar let, yellow and white are the favorites. A hundred bulbs of this kind can be had for about $2.50. Then we have the dear little crocus, a universal fa vorite. They are beautiful for borders or even planted iu clusters all through a law n of beautiful grass. They can be had in all colors, white, yellow, blue, purple, violet, striped, cloth of gold, (yellow’ and browu)'doth of sil ver (white). Then comes the gladio lus. They have been looked upon as tender and are generally planted in the spring and taken up again in the fall, but it has been proven of late years that planted about six inches deep and covered with a slight covering of manure or other material as straw* or hay, they become quite hardy. And when allowed to remain in ground all winter, they come up robust and strong in spring and bloom better. Then we have the iris, a beautiful flowering bulb, all hardy but the tavo- uia. which requires to be grown in doors. The jonquills! We all kuow what a sweet old flower it is, and takes us back to the days of our grandmoth er’s garden, as do the doable and sin gle narcissus. Lily bulbs of all varie ties should be planted this month and protected as the other bulbs. Newspaper Humor. Laporte Argus.

A cool, bracing air reddens the cheeks of early risers, and here and there in the trees the unseen hand of nature’s artist lays ou tiie first colors of the autumnal panorama. The summer is passing away; not in storms and tears; there is no wild tumult of grief in the forests, no bending boughs into fnry lashed, no whistling winds and frowning skies. As a rosy child, falling beneath the blue eyes of its mother, its cheeks paling iu repose, the summer fades. The days come on us now rounded and complete. Each has its appeal al most irresistible. Somehow among these golden hours we feel closer to natnre. Her breath Is nearer, and the touch of her hand in the breeze is cool and caressing. Tiie hot impulse of spring, the savagery which fires the blood and stirs the nerves to. action has been lost somewhere in the season behind us. The appeal now is for free dom and communion. The desk is a bond, the room a prison. Away off yonde** where the pale blue sinks upon the hills, beyond the belt of pines and the fringe of brown, are sug gestions of the quail. Out of half closed eyes, as the antnmn dreams deepen, we see them spring from dewy grass and whirr off into the valley where the brook threads its way be neath the alders. Under the hill spread tiie lake, and all the livelong day the strike of the trout breaks the silence and sends to shore the widening- cir cles that betray him. A few swallows linger to weave their invisible circles in the blue; a few lilies bloom beneath them; the woodman’s axe echoes in the forest, and in gor geous beanty the sunsets grow and fade along the west. All the world should go forth to make its peace with nature in this her softest mood, and see the summer close its eyes. Soon most tiie icy blast In trude and the roar of winter drive us from the hills. THE MISTAKE OF HIS LIFE. The Remarkable Plea off a Bar. (lar. Evening Capital. This morning, about 4 o’clock, two boarders in the Atlanta House, Deca tur street, were aroused by hearing some one In their room. One of the men sprang from his bed and caught John Gaston, a lean, hungry tramp, as he was in the act of removing some articles from a table. Gaston arts col lared and turned over to a police of ficer. This morning, in tiie Recorder’s court, the prisoner made the following appeal: “Judge, if you just let me go this time, I’ll leave the town immediately. It was the mistake of my life, sir. to stop in this place. The circamsfcmees that surrounded my strange conduct, I’ll admit, are very suspicious, bat, sir, it was all oa account of my having taken a large dose of morphine. When I am nnder the influence of morphine I am not aware of what I am doing. This morning 1 was probably laboring under the impression that 1 was in my own room and was looking for a match to strike a light. So, sir, wili you let me go?” “Not this time, my friend,” said the Recorder. “Maybe your jury will let you go, but I am forced to bind yon over In the sura of one hundred dol lars. 1 The German Poll. leeophy. J alien Ralph in The Judge. There was a nice, clean, neatly- dressed young fellow standing in front of a brown stone mansion the other day when the German policeman came along. The young fellow was dressed in the height of the London fashion of a year ago, as near to the absolutely correct thing as any imitator of En glish fashions ever gets in this country. The two fell to talking. "Vat for are you growingdem leedle sideboards for ?” the German policeman asked; ‘‘drying to build a fence around your face to keep yonr goot looks from slipping avay ?” “Aw,” said the young fellow; “yaas, it’s English, you know.” Uudyour fanny shoes and shkin tight preeehes and und leedle diamond ring and shdrange looking valking shtick, b dot all English, you know?” “Ay, yaas; quite English yon know,” said the young fellow. “Veil,” the policeman said; “so long, my frent; good morning. I haf no use for you. if your poor old far- der should make a bresent of you to me I vould not know vot to done mit you. You atut bretty enough for a barlor ornament und you are too large to draffle arount tied mit a sdring to a hand organ. You are guildy uf a sord uf indecent oxbosure uf an empdy skull, lyit I can’d arresd you for dot." “Ob, come off,” said the young man ‘you are an old man and don’t care about dress and style and all that sort of thing. If yon were young and rich you’d do the English thing; I know you would, right up to the handle.” "Py cliimany hooky!” said the Ger man policeman, growing strangely ex cited; “iflefferdo vot you call der English ding it vill pe iusite uf my coftn, afderl am dead und planted.

You vont lose vonce in fife year, betting effery day.” “Thanks!” “As for ‘thanks,’ says the writer on household matters in the Philadel phia Press, “we have no patience with it. It b too thoroughly eugrafted .upon the etiquette, even of the ‘best people,*” to be dislodged at thb late day, bat who can pretend that the brief and graceless expression conveys any gratitude? ‘Thank you,’ or *1 thank you,’ holds some warmth, some character—an element of pleasant per sonality ; but all these humanities are drained off from ‘thanks.* The simple and slucere seems to be passing oat of fashion. Artificiality and the utter absence of anything like emotion ap pears to be the chief characteristics of the manners of the day. I*t ns hope that, in the change of fashions which inevitably passes over the social world every lew years, and which substitu ted ‘yes, ma’am’ for ‘yea, forsooth,* w*» may return some honest, feeling ex pression, which, if not the old ‘yes, ma’am,’ and ‘thank yon,’ will be as genuine and as expressive, and will effectually supplant the cold and studied formalities of the present style.” The “Nigger-Teacher YVuffless.” Boston Herald. While quietly walking up a wide street in a pretty Southern town—ray mind far away from affairs around me—writes a correspondent—I was startled into consciousness by a bright- looking little darkey who doffed a di lapidated straw hat and asked: “Boss, ain’t yon got no kiud cr work you kin ;in me? 1 lives out to Miss Joneses in le country and want to come to town.” I mildly disclaimed a residence in the place, and jokingly assumed a mel ancholy air. 1 replied: “Why,no; I am a stranger here, and it seems to me the boot should come on the other foot. Can’t you tell me of something I can get to do?” The boy was nonplused. He sur veyed me for a moment, evidently doubting my words; but, seeing I kept a straight face, he fell Into a study. Suddenly he seemed to have solved the questiou, and crushed me with hb earnest reply, given with an exultant air: “It’s the berry thiug; ves, boss, 1 does now! Down to Mt. Zion, whar I goes to school, dey wants a ’publi can white teacher. Dat nigger teach er ain’t got no sense, nohow. Ef you would go down dar dey ml gin you $30, cash down, ebbry munt!” I withdrew silently and wept. OYER THE STATE.
