If the correspondence of a man like
Mr. Randall could be printed from
day to day it would afford more
amusement and instruction than the
Congressional Jlecoril, and perhaps
give a clearer idea of what is going on.
This correspondence is voluminous and
relates to everything under the sun.
it is generally supposed in newspaper
offices that when a man has a bet to
decide, wants to ascertain an histori
cal fact, or has any doubts or disputes
to settle, he site and writes a card to
the editor of the paper he reads and
believes in, anti lias the editor hunt it
up for him. This card is ordinarily
ir» finrl ft takes fchp prli-
written ia pencil, and it takes the edi
tor half an hoar to find out wbat it
means. Editors are » vain set, any
how, and think they absorb this de
mand for information .£But they don’t.
If you could see the fool questions
asked the leader of the House of Rep
resentatives every day and read all the
fool letters that are dropped into his
box, you would wonder. One of the
most singular forms of inquiry ad
dressed to Mr. Randall is the parlia
mentary inquiry. He is supposed to
carry under his hat a superior knowl
edge of parliamentary law, and to have
nothing else to do but to Impart the
knowledge to college boys, debating
societies, etc. Most of these questions
could be answered by reference to any
manual, but then most of the ques
tions asked the editor could he answer
ed dv looking into a book. It is so
much easier to sit down aud write and
let the other fellow hunt. Mr. Ran
dall is a hard worker and never leaves
a respectful letter unanswered. * He
dictates to his stenographer enough
matter every day, on an average, to
fill two or three columns of a newspa
per. This day’s work for an ordinary
brain-worker is performed in an hoar
or two, and Is only an Incident of the
day’s work of a statesman. Some
members answer their letters la their
own handwriting for political effect,
but these art not statesmen of the
heavy sort. They work hard, however,

St. Patrick was indeed a remarkable man.
He began to be remarkable at a very early
age, having, according to tradition and his
tory, been born in Scotland, in France, and
in Germany, with several outside precincts to
hear from. Not only did he first see the
light in several places quite remote from
each other, but he was likewise bem in
different years and at different seasons
of the year. SL Patrick was bom so

the public has no time for such devices
and despises the littleness of such
methods. A large proportion of the
correspondence of members is of a
useless character, encouraged by this
same spirit of demagoguery. It reduces
what might be a valuable and efficient

of the congressman, which ought‘to
be devoted to the public business. ; It
is a growing evil, too, and will result

Rapid CnltlTutl
Southern Cultivator.
At all times, but especially during
the active growipg season, it behooves
the farmer to study and practice econ
omy of labor and time. Now Is the
time to “make, every edge cut.” Our
methods of cultivating corn and cotton
are particularly defective, in the fact
that they require too much time to “go
over” the crop with plows. In this
respect we compare unfavorably with
Northern aud Western methods. W itli
their wide expanding cultivators and
harrows, the Ohio farmer will effecti
vely cultivate from two to three times
as many acres as tiie average
Georgia farmer. This is chiefly, but
not eutirelv, due to tiie greater width
of the cultivating implements used by
Western farmers. In the South we
use sweeps and scrapes (cutting and
covering together) from eighteen to
thirty inches. Our cotton rows on up
lands, will not average over three feet
in width. The usual—almost invari
able—practice Is to put two fnrrrows
in each middle at each plowing of the
crop. Every farmer must have Ob
served that ttie second furrow run in a
row or middle does little more original
work than to tide one side of a row of
f dants. The first furrow of a tweuty-
uch sweep, or scrape, with good,
straight wings—a little turned up—will
stir, or cover with fresh soil, an aver
age width of.not less than twenty-six
inches, leaving only ten inches 01 un
disturbed soil next to the row of plants
on the off side of the middle.
The second, or return furrow, finds
only this ten inches of surface unstir
red]! and needing to be done; yet the
implement is capable, as before, of
stirring twenty-six *
_ _ inches. The con
sequents is toe effort and time of toe
horse and plowman is largely em
ployed In stirring sixteen inches of
surface that has been moved only a
few minutes before. This is obviously
a great waste of labor. How is it to
be prevented is the question. In those
States where cultivators, horse-hoes
aud such expensive implements are in
general use, this is accomplished either
by “straddling” the row and cultivat
ing both sides of the same, extending
to toe center of toe two middles at one
going; or by running in the middle
and extending toe work as near as may
be to toe rows on either side. In
either case only as many trips are
mude across toe field as there are rows
of plants, thus requiring every inch ol
the cuttiug edges of the implement to
do full,' original work, all the time.
This Is certainly a great saving—not
less, in many cases, tliau fifty per
ceut. How can tills saving be approxi
mated with the ordinary one-horse
sweeps and scrapes? Very easily by
simply siding both sides of every alter
nate row atoue going oyer. This will
effectually tide every alternate row in
toe field, put one fhrrow in every
iglddle, and stir from three-fourths to
four-fifths of toe eutire surface of the
field. Of course it will require only
just one-half the time to go over a
field aud over toe crop, as compared
with tiie usual plan ot runningteries iu
id die. The farmer will then be

Hi walking through the of
musical instruments at South Kensing
ton I was much struck with the contrast
which does not appear to have thus
forced itself upon general attention, if I
may judge by the critical notices that
liave been published. I refer to the
great and still continuing progress of
improvement in the construction of the
pianoforte, as compared with the abso
lutes absence of even the smallest step of
improvement of the violin, violo, violon
cello, or violone. The clavichords, harp
sichords, clavicymbalums, spinets, grav-
i cembali col piano e forte, were ail mere
tom-toms compared with the modern
piano, while the fiddles, big and little, of
the same date are the models which our
manufacturers can only endeavor to ap
proximately imitate.
Innumerable attempts have been made
to improve upon the model of Stradiva-
rius, but all have pitifully failed. Every
curve of his models, their thickness,
their bulge of back and belly, and even
the queer unaccountable f-shaped open
iugs must be imitated with abject servil
ity in order to produce a fine instrument.

A certain judge, while attending

passing a!otig the road where a bo>
was letting down tiie bars to drive
some cattle in. His father stood iu the
door of his home, on tiie opposite side
of the road, and seeing what his hope
ful boy was doing, bawled out:
“John, don’t you drive them cattle iu
there. 1 told you to put them in* the
pasture behind the house.”
The boy took no notice whatever ol
the remonstrance, and his father re
peated the order in louder tone, with
out toe least effect, and a third time
gave positive orders not to drive the
cattle ill there.
The boy didn’t even deign to look
up, and disobeyed the parental injunc

shocked the judge, who, looking at
the culprit, said, iu a tone of official
dignity:
“Boy, don’t you hear your father

A Chinese Liar’s Wire.
A noted liar once told a friend that he had
at home three precious things: A bullock
that could run 100 miles a day; a fowl which
crowed at the beginning of each watch, day
and night, and a dog that could read books.
The friend intimated that he would lose no
tone in seeing, with his own eyes, th
marvels. The man did not expect this,
as his house was somewhat distant, so he
went home and told his wife that he
had got caught at last, and that to
morrow the man would arrive and he
would be digraced. “Never mind,” said
his spouse, “leave that to me; it will be all
right; only you must keep out of sight.” Next
morning the visitor arrived, and, being met
by the mistress, asked where her husband was.
“He has gone to Pekin,” she replied. “When
yeill he be back?” “Hi eight or nine days.”
“■Why, how can be be so quick?” “He has
gone off on oar fast bullock, and can do it
easily.” “I hear you have also a wonderful
fowl,” said the visitor; and behold, as he was
speaking, a small cock crew. “That’s it,”
said the wife; “he crows at the beginning of
each watch, and also when a visitor arrives. r
“I would also like to see the learned dog,'
he said. “Ah,” she said, “I am very sorry;
you see we are very poor, so he keeps a school
in the city.”—China Review.

An Easy Way of Identifying a Stranger.
A colored man, evidently a stranger in

something which he could not find, when he
was accosted by Unde Moee.
“Who is yer lookin’ for, niggah?”
“I wants ter see Kurnel Yerger.” .
“Does yer know him when yer see him?”
“Na”
“Does yer know Jedge Petefby when you

has been excavating in some bid Aztec

quantities of flint arrow-heads of splen-

Sparta, Ga_, Sept. 32, 1SS.—To the Consti
tution—Were I to practice deception in a cas
like this, I would think that my heart had be
come seared beyond recognition.
To be guilty of bearing false testimony,
thereby imperilling the lives of my fellow-
men, would place me beneath the dignity of a
gentleman.
The &eta which ! disclose are endorsed and,
vouched for by the community in which Ilive,
and I trust they may exert the influence in
tended.
For twenty long years I have suffered un-
tod tortures from a terrible pain and

For a long time the horrifying pangs of an
eating^amcer of my lower lip has added to my
misery and suffering. This encroaching,
horning and painful sore on my lip was pro
nounced Epithelial Cancer by the prominent
physicians in this section, which stubbornly
resisted fhe best medical talent. About eigh
teen months ago a cutting, piercing pain lo
cated in my breast, which could not be allay
ed by the use of ordinary inodes of treatment.
These sufferings of misery and prostration
became so great that, on the 18th of last July,
a leading physician said that I could. not live
longer than four days, and I had about given
np in despair. The burning and excruciating
ravages of the cancer, the painfnl condition of
my back and breast, and the rapid prostration
of my whole system combined to make me a

only who have a theoretical knowledge of
money and its eccentric habits. People
with a mere smattering of knowledge re
garding national currency have been lo
quacious, while those who have made the
matter a study have been kept in the back
ground.
A this period in the history of our coon-
try there seems to be & general stringency,
and many are in th« stringency business
who were never that way before. Every
thing K**rnf to be demonetized. The de
monetization of groceries is doing as much
toward the general wiggly palsy of trade as
anything I know of.
But I may say, in alluding briefly to the
silver dollar, that there are worse calami
ties than the silver dollar. Other things
may occur in our lives which, in the way of
sadness and three-cornered gloom, make
the large, robust dollar look like an old-
fusbio -ed half-dime.
i met a man the other day who. two years
ago. was running a small paper at Lam-
bie’.’* S’.ough. He was than in his meridian
as a journalist. He boldly assailed the
silver dollar, and with his trenchant pen he
wrote such burning words of denunciation
that the {winter had to set them on ice be
fore he could use the copy. Last week I
met him on a train. He was very thin in
flesh, and the fire of defiance was no longer
in hiseye. I
with the paper at Larrabie’s Slough. He
said it was no more.
“It started oat,” said he. “in a fearless
way, but it‘was not sustained. 1
He then paused in’alow tone of voice,
gulred end proceeded:
“Folks told me when I began that I ought
to attack almost everything. Make the
paper non-partisan bat aggressive; that was
their dee. Sail into everything, and the
piper would soon be a power in the land.
So I aggressed. Friends came in
kindly and told me what to attack. They
would neglect their own business in order
to tell me of corruption insombody else,
went on that way for some time in a defiant
mood, attacking anything that happ^ed to
suggest itself
“Finally I thought I would attack the sil
ver dollar. I did so. I thought that friends
would come to, me and praise me for mi
manly words, and that I could afford to
lose th© friendship of the dollar provided 1
could win friends.
“In six months I took an unexpirei
nual pa* over our Larrabie Slough Narrow
Gauge, or Orphan road, and with nothing
else bu: the clothes I wore, I told the plain
tiff how to jerk the old Washington press
and went away. The dear old Washington
pres j that had more than once squatted my
burning words into the pure white page.
The dear old towel on which I had wiped
my soi.ed hands for years till it had almost
become a pert of myself; the dark bine Gor
don press with its large fly wheel and inter
mittent chattel mortgage, a press to which I
had contributed the fint joint of my front
finger; the editor’s chair; the samples of
large business cards printed in green with an
inflamed red border, which showed that we
could do colored work at Larrabie's Slough
just as well as they could in the large cities,
the files of our paper; the large wilted po
tato that Mr. Alonzo Gt Pinkham, of Erin
Corners, kindly laid on the table—all, all
had to ga
i il! 1 oat into the great, hollow, mocking
world of people who had requested me to
aggress. They were people who had called
my attention to various things' which I
ought to attack. I had attacked those
tilings. I had also attacked the Larrabie
lough Narrow Gauge railroad, but the
manager did not see the attack, and so my
pass was good.
“Wb :t could I do? I had attacked every
thing. and more especially the silver dollar,
and now I was homeless. _ For fourteen
weeks 1 rode up the narrow gauge road one
day and back the next, subsisting solely on
the sample nice pecan meat that the news
boy pu s in each passenger’s lajx Yon look
incredulous, I see, but it is true. I feel dif
ferently toward the currency now, and *1
w.sh I could undo what 1 have done. Were
1 called upon again to jerk the Archimedean
lever I would not be so aggressive, especi
ally as regards the currency. Whether it
is inflated or not, silver dollars, paper cer
tificates of deposit or silver bullion, it does
not matter to me.
‘lyeara for two or three adult dough
nuts aud one of those thick, dappled slabs
of ingerbreai or a slat of pie wiih goose
berries in it I presume that I could write
a scathing editorial on the abuses of our
currency yet, but I am not so much in the
scathe business as I used to be.
T wish you will state, if you will,
through some great metropolitan journal,
that my views in relation to the silver coin
age and the currency question have under
gone -> radical change, and that any plan
whatever, by which to make the American
dollar less skittish, will meet with my
hesrty approval. If I have done anything
at alt through my paper to injure or repress
the flow of our currency, and I fear I have,
I now take this occasion to cheerfully re
gret it” He then wrong my hand and

While thus seemingly suspended on a thread
between life and death, I commenced the use
of B. B. B, the grandest blood medicine, to
me and my household, ever used.
The effect was wonderful—it was magical.
The excruciating pains wnich had tormented
me by day and by night for twenty yeara were
soon held in abeyance, and peace and comfort
were restored to a suffering man, the cancer
commenced healing, strength was imparted to
my feeble frame, and when eight bottles had
been used I was one of the happiest of men,
and felt about as well as I ever did.- -
All pain had vanished, the cancer on my lip
healed, and I was pronounced cored. To

_ Atlanta Ca.,
nuned Confederate Soldiers*
Atlanta Journal.
The General Assemby of Georgia
massed four acts, authorizing the pay
ment of commutation money to maim
ed ex-Confederate soldiers, in lieu of
artificial limbs.
The first of these acts provided that
such payments should be made every
five years. The second extended toe
benefits of the first to piaimed soldiers
who enlisted in Georgia regiments, left
the State after the war, and then re
turned to become citizens once more.
The third altered the time of payments,
making it every three years. The
fourth extended the benefits of toe
first to maimed soldiers who were
wounded during the war and after
wards lost their limbs as a result.
Some time ago, toe question was
sprung as to the time when a maimed
soldier, entitled to toe benefits of the
several acts, should draw his money.
For instance, if one should draw one
hundred dollars for a lost leg on June
4 th, 1886, the question was should be
be compelled to wait three years for
his next payment, or should he be al
lowed to receive it at the fiext period
in course prescribed J>y top acts?
What brought up this question was
that certain mfiimed soldiers neglected
to draw their money at tiie time pres
cribed by toe acts, but drew it several
months, or even a year, afterwards.
They wished to draw future amounts
at the times prescribed in toe acts.
To settle the matter, Gov. McDaniel
relerred toe matter to Attorney-Gen
eral Clifford Anderson, who has given
it as his opiniou “that the first allow
ance was due immediately after the
passage of the ffbt of September 20th,
1879; the second-immediately after
the passage of the act of September 26,
; and that the third will be due on
and after the 26th day of September
next.
Although a person entitled may have
failed to draw his first allowance until
just before, or even alter the second
became due, he is not required to wait
three years before he cau apply for
and receive toe second allowance^ but
may, under, the last act Above men
tioned demand the same now', if he has
not been paid, and may, equally with
others entitled, claim and receive his
third allowance on, or at any time
after, toe 26th day of September
next.”
The Guiteau Curse.
‘Murray” in Indianapolis News.
The arrest, imprisonment and sub
sequent escape of Charles H. Reed, who
was well-known in this city, recalls
the Guiteau case. It will be remem
bered that Guiteau declared that every
body who had anything to do-with his
trial and execution would come to grief.
Unfortunately, be did not. limit this
curse to toe opposition. Of course no 1
body of sense can believe that toe mis
erable wretch who expiated his crime
upon the scaffold bad tiie power of good
and evil over any human creature.
Yet there is a singular fatality in this
connection. Reed was. the leading
counsel for Guiteau, aaa has, of recent,
years, shown decided signs of insanity.

‘‘We have a man who drinks one

swer was iu.reply to a question as to
how much be*r toe employes In the
Milwaukee*breweries consumed. The
speaker was a gentleman engaged in
the office of an. extensive brewing
company. > “Wbat is toe-average con
sumption per man?” “About oue
and one-fourto gallons, or forty
glasses, dailr. As a rule, our
employes drink fifty one-quar
ter barrels a . day—nearly one
hundred dollars’ worth. Daring
warm days tois number is in
creased-to sixty quarters and more.
Each man generally takes two glasses
at one time, which would make the
number of visits to toe bar about
twenty during the day!. Allowing
three minutes only for each time? he
knocks off work there is one hour
which he loses iu this way. Some of
the men have to walk a block and fur
