A relentless and bloody war between

for the Porkins murder, and other In

regarded as inevitable. The trouble

'mission to decide.the Presidential elec-

not be repeated; that Hayes was coun

'unjustifiable frauds and irregularities

GIN HOUSE BURKED.
On Sunday might, the 2nd iusfc., the
gin house of Mr. W. F. Spann, of Wrb-
l a £or county, with all of his crop of oot-
•fon seed, was destroyed by fire. The
gin house and screw were both
'new, and most approved pattern. It is
supposed to have been the work of an
incendiary.
The Monroe Advertiser states that at
almost every farm on one of the roads
'from Forsyth for ten miles, there were
large piles of cotton seed, stable manure
and vegetable mould which had been
prepared for fertiling land.
=- This is a step in the right direction.
The plague in Aslraclian has disap
peared, though much disease prevails.
It is stated that five hundred pe s-us
died out of one hundred and eighteen
thousand souls, between October and
'February, in the two pestilential dis
tricts of Astrachan. This is a smaller
mortality than usual from cholera,
’diphtheria, small-pox or typhus.

Little has been said of late regarding
the tunnel between France and England,
’but preparation for the work contin
ues. Seventy thousand five hundred
and seventy-one soundings have taken
place within six hundred feet of the
French coast, with a view ascertaining
the form and geological nature of the
ground, and 3,276 specimens have been
Obtained. Similar soundings have also
‘taken place on the English side.

The Governor of South Carolina is
burdened with letters from natives of
the State who emigrated West and
Southwest, and are anxious to return to
it. Mai y complain bitteily that they
have been disappointed in their plans
hnfl expectations, and make earnest ap
peals for help or a promise of work on
their arrival. The Ne>rs and Courier
of Charleston asks whether the Legisla
ture would not be justified in providing
for the return of all suffering self-exiled
hitizefts of South Carolina.
INTELLIGENT MONKEYS.
1 ‘Monkey ,” says an Arabic proverb,
“can talk perfectly well if they choose to
do so, but they are far too clever to let
us into their secret. Well they know
that, were they to speak, they would be
made to work; so they wisely hold their
tougnes.”. If certain strange stories
that have recently reached onr hemis
phere from the distant realm of Siam
be fonaded npon fact the ‘-incomplete
man”, as some German physiologists
deveribe onr respected ancestors, whose
foudliuess for apples' is considered to
have exercised considerable influence
upon the destinies of humanity, is
made to work in many several ways,
despite his affected ignorance of articu
late Inngnage. His prudent science
uvails aim naught in the domain of the
White Elephant; and there are—at least
so we are assure! by an old Anstraiu
resident at the Siamese Court—few
professions which he may not he taught
to practice frith amazing skill and ad
miral precision. He is trained to fish
for crabs with his tail, as comical a pur
suit as can well be imaginable, except,
perhaps, for the worthy and inteligent
ape engaged in it, who sometimes gets
a “bite" from a monster crab that he is
totally unable to land, and falls a vic
tim to the superior weight of his Can
cer Ferox, who' drags him into the wa
ter, drowns, and finally devours him.
The Siamese ape is'also stated to be in
great request among native merchants
as a cashier in their counting houses.
Vast quantities of base coin obtained
circulation in Siam, and the faculty of
disc: ini nation bi tween good money and
bad would appear to he possessed by
these gifted monkeys in such an extm-
ordinarj d gree of development that no
mere human being a however carefully
trained, can compete witn them. The
cashier ape meditatively puts into his
mi util each coin presehted to him in
bnsines payments, and tests it with
grave deliberation. If it be genuine he
hands it over to his master. If it be
counterfeit he sets it down on the coun
ter before him with a solemn grimace of
displeasure. His method of testing is
regarded in commercial circles as in
fallible, and, as a matter of fact, his de
cision is uniformly accepted by all par
ties interested in the transaction. But
though a true and invaluable servant to
his own particular master, it seems that
his moral cliaractor is not altogether ir
reproachable. His deplorable passion
fruit renders him the terror of Siamese
market gardeners, who find brute force
inadequate to restrain him from visiting
their orchards, and therefore have re
course to divers and sundry stratagems,
oue of which is reported to be as sne-
ful as it is certaiuly ingenuous. A spe
cially active and enterprising ape is cap-
tn«ed and carefully sewed up in the
'skin of a tiger cat. He is then turned
loose in the orchard of his predilection,
and straightway clambers, as well as he
may, incumbered bv an unfamiliar gar
ment, into the branches of a fruit tree
among the unclothed fellows. Scarcely
do these latter set eyes upon him, with
all his feline terrors thick upon him,
when a dreadful panic strikes them, and
and they scramble away with piercing
screeches and agonized ebatterings.
tfever more do they return to an orch
ard which they believe to be infested
by the deadliest enemy of their race.
The startling intelligence is rapidly dis
seminated throughout the monkey so
ciety of the neighborhood, and the wi
ly gardener enjoys an absolute im a uni-
tv from depredation forever afterward,
for the very thought of a tiger cat ap
pals the simian soul, and doubtless the
tale “tho awful apparition in Ting tse’s
orchard ’ is handed down in quadrnma-
nous families generation to genera
tion.
INQUIRIES.
Diligent inquiries are being made
throughout the Southern States, re-
pecting the sales of guano as compared
with the sales of last year. These in
quiries came from cotton spinners and
speculators, who have reasons for wish
ing to know. They understand, as
planters ought to understand that the
liberal or restricted use of gnano will
materially affect the prices of cotton.
Their correspondents are cotton buyers,
and they seek information of gnano
dealers, roil road agents, warehouse
men, and planters. It may be confi
dently expected that they will obtain
and communicate the best and fullest
iuformation to be had on the subject.
With them it is simply a matter of bus
iness, and the reticence of dealers and
buyers who understand the object of
their quest, will fail to baffle them.
Moreover the dealers will hesitate to tell
The Plague.—From the reports of
American diplomatic agents on the
Southern Russian pestilence, it appears
that the disease is the true virulent
plague, and not typns, as stated by
Russian authorities. Onr government
is particularly cautioned to look ont for
impoited rags and similar substances
likely to bring the plagne to this coun
try.

lie sighted the ship Kentuckian flying
"signals of distress, and on approaching
her saw the Captain pacing the quarter

the cause, the Captain stated that his
crew had mutinied and were starving.
■Investigation showed neither to be the

‘Later advices report that the Kentuck

SMALL FRUIT IN GARDENS.
But few people seem to know the val
ue of small fruits to a family when
grown in their own gardens. Yon
commence with strawberries; they con
tinue about a month. You pick perhaps
six to twelve quarts per day. You have
them on your table as desserts, if yon
please at noon, and your tea-table is
loaded with them at evening, and yon
want a little else bni your bread and
butter. Your family consume in one
way or another afloat eight quarts a
pay, and while they last medioiues foi bo
dily ailments are not required, a sa quart
of straw bersies daily will generally dis
pel all ordinary diseases not permanent
ly settled in the system, After stawber-
ries, come raspberres, to continue about
three weeks; then we have blackberries
where the climate is not too cold for
the cultivated varieties; then the currants
ripen, which remain with ns till the ear
ly grapes mature; and taking the season
through, any family with half an acre
of gronnd in a garden can grow small
fruits that make a country home de-
iightful, and at the same time hundreds
of dollars can he saved in the supply of
the table, as the writer knows from for
ty years’ experience.—Ex.
magnify their business. This they do for
th4 purpose of convincing relactant
buyers that everybody else is buying,
and that laggards will be left in the
lurch.
For the comfort of these laggards it
may be said that there are men in every
neighborhood who do not use commer
cial fertilizers, and they are generally
not afraid of comparisons. The habit
of doing bnsmess rather for rivalry tliaD
for gain would be considered foolish in
some conutries. And yet men do some
times buy fi-r;i|izers just to make as
good crops as other men who buy them.
This month of March will determine
whether or not the Southern planters
have moral pluck enough to give the
cotton market an effective boost. They
have simply to let gnano alone.

THE FORTY-SIXm CONGRESS.
A neiv United States Senate com
mences its existence on Tuesday.
James T. Farley, Democrat, succeeds
Sargent, Republican, of California; O.
H. Platt, Republican, succeeds Buiuum,
Democrat, of Connecticut; W. Call,

The Senate will consist of forty-two
Democrats, thirty-three Radicals, and
one Independent.. New Hampshire will
bo represented by bnt one. Senator until
June, when the vacancy will be filled by
the election of a Radical. Wudleigh’s
term being out.
It is very hard to get at the eTact po
litical complexion of the new Honse of
Representatives, as the doctors differ.
The whole number of members is two
hundred and ninety-three, and they are
divided by tho Expre s Almanac and
the Tribune Almanac as follows:
Expnss. Tribune.
Democrats 146 147
Independent Democrats..2 2
Republicans 127 128
Greenback Democrats 7 7
Greenback Republicans.. .5 5
Vacancies 6 4
293 293
There are only four vacancies—those
from California—so far as we have
heard, so that the Tribune is probably
right.
Cheap Obaxges.—New York is glut
ted with oranges, which have seldom, if
ever, been as cheap in that maiket as
they are now. The crop in Florida and
abroad has been unusually large. The
Valencia crop alone was over 2,000,000
cases, 800,000,000 and Is principally
with foreign oranges that the market is
glutted, for the Florida oranges, being
more highly esteemed and generally
received in a riper and better condition,
are in much better demand, and conse
quently sold at higher prices as fast as
they arrive. In New York Florida
oranges are now selling at abont five
dollars a box, while ^Valencia or Messi
na fruit brings only about two dollars
and a half per box.
In a letter to the Ohio Republican
Committee, Secretary Sherman lays
down a platform for Wa party, wherein
occurs the statement that we “ are now
rapily reducing the interest of the pub
lic debt,” True in so far as .refunding
is concerned, bnt the debt itself was in
creased nearly $350,009 during the last
month, and if the ^Republican Congress
men had carried their wish in connec
tion with pension arrearages, it would
havo been increased not less than $18-
€00,000 during the present year. Un
der such circumstances, it will become
any Republican to do any “pointing
with pride” to the alledged redaction
of the interest aeeonnt

SOMETHING ABOUT MUSIC.

words were written by the late Mr. A.
R. "Watson, and which were copied
throughout the Union, and also in a

Mrs. Joseph Palmer, of Ferry. Tb»_
words of the poem are exquisite, and
have always been admired wherever
read, and they were among the first
pieces which brought the anthor prom

‘A Face, -which was dedicated to en ac
complished young lady of Atlanta, who
is well known in Macon. The coming
