This nation can aay that God has given

to be irrigated front tbe fountains of

subjects. Among other things, I had a
grave in Georgia to visit—the grave of my
uncle, Rev. Dr. Himuel K. Talmage, for
twenty years tbe president of Oglelborf»e
university. After walking among the ruins
of that institution, from which many men
went forth to bless the earth, which institu
tion waa slain by the war, I went to see his
last resting place. When the war opened
his heart broke, and he lay down to rest
near the scene of his eminent useful-
maa. Ids grave covered with a
monument adorned by his own name, and
the suggestive scripture passage, “How
beautiful upon the mountains are the feet
of him that bringeih good tidings, tbatpuh-

Steals the most which has the mo*l chance*!
At the south all the door* of information
seemed to be open. I talked with high and
low, with governors of states and water-
. camera, lawyers, clergymen, doctors, judges
of courts, and I found that there had been
a |iersistent and, in some ca-es, most eut-
rageoua misrepresentation of the feeling at
the south by some correspondents of s-jme
of our northern secular and religious news
papers, and by overbearing and dishonest
men who, going from the north to the
south, bebavrd thero in a way that excited
pa friendliness. 1 found out that it.a man
behaves well at the south, he will he treated
well. There is no more need of a severe
fmveinmental espionage in Charleston and
Atlanta and Augusta than in New York
and Brooklyn. The feeling at the south
to day has been so misrepresented that I
shall devote this morning's sermon to the
correct Ion of the misapprehensions, and to
the overthrow, so far as I may be able, of
.some of the slanders.
The first mlsrepresen tation in regard to
the south I wish to correct is that the south
ern people want to get back and have rein
'stated negro slavery. Why, all the people
are clad to get rid t.l it. The planters told
me that they could culture their land now at
4t*» expense under the new system of labor
than|under the old. A planter who had a
hundred and twenty slaves before the war
*aaid that there was so much care necessary
in looking after so many slaves, and in
looking after the aged who could not work,
and helpless childhood, that there was con-
latent anxiety and vast ex|M»me and exliaus
' lion. Now they have nothing to do but pa«
I ®timng*about—cooking and eating break-

southern iwopletoday the question, -Shall
negro slavery lie reinstated?" and
all the wards, and all the cities,
and all the counties, and all the states
would give thundering negative. They
fought for the institution eighteen years
•go. but now they congratulate themselves
at the overt blow of the institution. God be
,thankod that north and south at last we
have one sentiment on that subject, and
'thn«e northern politicians who keep the
subject of American slavery rolling on and
rolling on are doing a thing as useless and
Inapt as it would he to make the Dorr re
bellion of Hh.vde Island, or Aaron Burr's
attempt at the overthrow o* tbe United
' States government a test for our fall elec
tions. The whole subject of American
slavery is dead and damned. I said to tbe
planters: "How do these men work now
under the new system?" and they replied:
"They work well; we have no trouble: there
was a good deal of trouble just after the war
closed, and a demoralisation and disorgani-
* ration consequent upon a change of things,
but now they work most admirably, and
they work far belter than the northern men
who come here, because the climate seems
better adapted to the colored people, who
will on a hummer day, at their nooning, go
out and lie down to enjoy the sun." My
friends, all this talk about the dragging of
the rivers and (he lakes of the south to haul
•shore negroes murdered and dung in,while
it may be believed by many at the north, is
• falsehood so absurd it is hardly fit to men
tion in a religious assemblage. The white
people of the south feel their dependence on

Chicago, April 2G.—Further reports of
Saturday night’s storm show that it ex
tended over the whole northwest, and did
much damage to property. p
Later advices from all parts of tbe state
swept by Saturday night’s storm show that
the loss of life and destruction of property
were even greater than at first rejiorted.
Near Taylorsville many houses were demol
ished and their inmates crippled, killed or
carried away. Hundreds of cattle and bog*
were killed, and fowls were found dead and
almost stripped of their feathers in the
tracks of the cyclone. For violence and
destructiveness the storm has never been
equalled in this part of the country.
A heavy storm passed over Macon, Miss.,
last night, blowingaway twenty-two houses,
including the Mississippi and Ohio railroad
machine shops, rouud-house, dej>ot, tele
graph oflice and the master me
chanic's oflice. Sixteen cars-
blown from the track. Seventeen persons
were killed and 22 wounded. The loss of
property ia estimated at not less than $100,-
000. Meridian was called on to send phy
sicians, and six or eight liave gone from
here to attend the suffering, j

Xa8Hville, April 2G.—A destructive
storm prevailed here on Sunday. At Deck-
ard, on the Chattanooga railroad, the Pres
byterian church waa totally wrecked. Great
damage was done to houses, stock and
fences in Giles county. Three children
were drowned. The sterm struck Paint
Ujck, Alabama, on the Memphis and
Charleston railroad, and destroyed five
houses and killed three children of P. Ed
wards. F. J. Mann was killed by lightning
six miles from this city.

killed are Mr. and Mrs. James Horton, Mat-
tie, Johnnie and James Horton. The whole
family of Mrs. James Epps, Charles Epps,
James Epps, Miss Sophronia

so badly mutilated that recognition was
impossible. In addition to tbe above who

CATTLE GRUBS.
We have received a letter making some
inquiries of these larvae of the gadfly in
the backs of cattle. The large ox fly lays
her eggs in the autumn on the backs of the
cattle, the animal warmth soon hatches
them out, when they bnry themselves
through the skin, and feeding on tbe * is
caused by their presence, they grow to oe
large grubs, and can be easily felt in a lump
by the hand. They remain in this position
from the fall till the latter part of April,
or during January, when they come out of
themselves and fall to the ground, where
they lie until they assume the form of a
large fly. Some parties squeeze them out
of the hacks of their cattle, by applying a
few drops of turpentine on each one. Others
use kerosene oil. But perhaps it is best
not to do this, for having done all the in
jury they can, they will leave the cattle
when they get on grass. The application
of remedies frequently kills the grub, and
they remain in the flesh until ejected by
the operations of the system.
PLOWING.
We have before us a letter asking some
questions about plowing. Well, the truth
is that the depth to be plowed depends
upon circumstances and conditions, differ
ent soils and requirements. Nearly all the
root crops require deep plowing, and deep
tillage. In old ground which has become
infertile by constant croppiug.deep plowing
is beneficial in bringing to the surface the
fresher and richer subsoil. On sod ground
gain much faster if thev are allowed some
grain during the time they are feeding on
grass. Good farmers should not endeavor
to see on how small an amount of food
they can keep their animals. They should
devise means to eiioourage them to eat all
the food they wilL The g*eater the variety
the more food will stock consume.
PEANUT CULTURE.
Jn March or April plow the ground with
a one horse plow to the depth of four or five
inches. If the land is thin and needs
manuring, open furrows two and a-half or
three feet apart aijd strew in a hundred
pounds of Peruvian guano or 175 pounds of
superphosphate of lime. The furrow should
then be ridged over and the whole surface
thrown with three feet beds, which should
be reduced to within two or three inches of
the level of the field. Then mark
off tbe rows and at a distance of
eighteen inches, plant two seed*, covejsre
an inch or an inch and one-half deep.<-As
the young plants come up*watch out ana re
plant. As soon as the grass makes its ap
pearance give a light plowing, throwing the
earth from the vines and following with the
hoe, thoroughly removing all the grass
from the row. Plow again as soon as the
grass reappears, this time use a double
shovel or cultivator, and the hoc as before
directed. Next comes the laying by, the
vine having extended half way across the
space between the rows. This is to be done
by running a mold board in the middle be
tween the rows and drawing up to the rows
with the hoe, not covering the vines.
MILK AND BUTTER.
-^Thc treatment of cows and different kinds
of food have an influence on the milk, both
as to quality and quantity. Day after day,
we see on certain streets of Atlanta cows
that are rocked by boys, worried by dogs,
get water out of muduolcs. eat old shuck
mats and rubbish paper thrown from lots,
and are watchful for fodder and hay from
country wagons. We never hear the own
ers of these cows boast of the quantity and
quality of the milk they give. S > long as
grass is fresh and young, it produces
the best butter. Farmers must
bear in mind that“old broom sedge,
fence-corner shrubs, and coarse swamp
grass is not the best food. Milk and beef is
produced from the food the animal cats;
and not only this, for a cow cannot move a
leg or draw a breath that is not compen
sated for in food. If cows go a long dis
tance to graze, if she is hurried or abused,
or frightened, all is paid for by the food. A
cow must live from the food she eats before
she can give milk; in fact, two-thirds
of the food goes to keeping up the
cow before she gives milk. Pinch a
cow of food and she will not yield a profit
able quantity of milk. Grass is regarded as
the most nearly perfect food which cows
can eat In winter it is best to prepare the
food, so that it may be easy of digestion and
assimilation. In cold weather tepid water
will increase the flow of milk. Improper
food passing through the cow’s system will
re-appear in tbe milk and affect the flavor
and the quality of the butter.
MANAGEMENT OF LAMB*.
When lambs are weaned they should
have sweet, tender pastures. They should
be fed generously from the time they are
taken from the dams until winter. If this
is not done, a continued and rapid growth
cannot be expected, and it is not at all un
likely that they will become so stunted and
reduced as to perish before the winter is
over. If lambs are kept properly through
the fall months, it will take mnch less to
keep them through the winter, and such
lambs so kept will come out in the spring
in far better condition than it is possible to
bring out lambs which have had indiffer
ent fall keeping, however, generously the
latter may be fed. When lambs are
first taken from tbe dams, it is better to
leave them for a few days in tbe field in
which they have been accustomed to run,
taking the dams to another field. Being
familiar with the field they will be more
contented. The dam and the lamb should
be so far separated that they cannot hear
each other’s bleating. As soon as frost
comes the lambs should have some artifi
cial food. Turn i {>3 or cabbage are good, but
if these are not at hand, grain food should
be given. At first give them a little oats,
shorts or bran. If they are kept from salt,
except as now given in the trough feed,
they will quite readily learn to eat it. Not
more than a spoonful of salt for each one

Hoyle, tax collector of Fulton county, Ga.,
cotumittid suicide in Los Angeles county
jail at half-past eleven o'clock on last
Tuesday night, in the presence of Dep
uty Sheriff Hober. He shot himself
in the breast. He lived thirty
minutes after the shot had been fired. He
left two letters. One was directed to his
lawyer, Joseph Eastman. In it he charged
the Georgia agents. Captain William Starnes
and Deputy Henry L. Collier, with having
threatened to heavily irou hiiu when tLe
time should arrive to carry him back to
Georgia. The other letter was addressed
to his wife. It recited his intention to com
mit suicide, assigning as a reason that it
wonld be to the best interest of his wife
and children for him to do so. In regard
to the accusation against the Georgia olll
cers, the Evening Bulletin publishes a state
ment signed by Messrs. Starves and Col

sheriff of Los Angelos, the county jailor and
others.
Mr. Hoyle was to have appeared before the

Chicken houses should be on high, dry
land, which should be well drained. The
house should be cleaned out every few
weeks. Mix the manure with dry dirt,
store it away in some dry place, and in the
spring put it on the garden. Every few
menths the walls, roosting poles and nest
boxes of the chicken house should be
cleaned and whitewashed; and vermin will
not then be troublesome. Where fowls are
troubled with vermin they are more sub
ject to disease. Frequently we hear of
roup, cholera, diphtheria and rheumatism
among chickens. Roosting and staying in
damp chicken houses, where there is fer
menting manure, will produce all these
diseases. Chickens should be fed regularly

FARM NOTES.
—Work not an acre of land more than
you can work well.
—If cows have sore teats, use plenty of
linseed oil before and after milking.
—Increase your pasture lands. Plow the
ground well, harrow it fine and sow seed.
Keep off the stock the first summer.
—For worms in horses: Three parts
wood ashes and two of salt; a tablespoon-
tul fed daily with the feed.
—Butterflies will avoid all plants whose
leaves have been sprinkled over with lime
water.
—Chloride of lime spread on the soil near
plants, insects and vermin will not be found
there.
—Tbe tent cats pi War’s eggs are deposited
in rings on the small twigs of apple and
other trees, near their ends; they should be
cut off taking the end of the twig, and
burned.
—The luscious fruits, the noblest beasts
and the choicest stock are tbe results of
man’s brain work in co-operation with na
ture. Man should direct his talents and
energies towards worth, beauty and perfec
tion.

The rsporter had a abort talk with Judge
John L. Hopkins, of the firm of Hopkins &

Judge Hopkins says that the first requi

was very defective. It would not stick.
Then the grand jury of Fulton
county indicted Mr. Hoyle for embezzle
ment. This indictment, with an affidavit,
was forwarded to the Georgia agents. These
papers were also defective. They were suc
cessfully met by the lawyers of Mr. Hoyle.
The Georgia agents then sued out a writ of
habeas corpus at San Francisco in order to
get Mr. Hoyle out of the hinds

A nation’s dead have slumbered,
Under the long, loose lights
Dreamily dropping a crown.
In hushed phalanx, and solemn ranks.
They’ve laid their armor down.

Sublimely were they freighted—

Their arms are stacked
They are bivouacked
In the fields of the Hereafter.
Here were the great guns plankej.
Here were the brave arms steadied;
Here, with a shout.

While the soul on the red tide eddied.

The heart that watered the ground.
Though shaft nor pile nor pillar—

drought may destroy it. Still, success will
not depend on just what ia requisite
in sunshine, air, ra ? n and dew.
Young farmer, you must study nature
and watch ihe habits of your plant; give it
shelter to withstand the wind by giving it
proper food. Properly drain your land and
give it power to retain moisture against the
time of drought by deep and thorough cul
tivation, and the roots will strike deep and
be protected from the rays of the sun.
Another thing: select your seed; do not
sow light oats, pinched wheat or dead-eyed
potatoes, for they do not produce good
crops. You must al*o adapt your crops to
your soil anti your soil to your crops. Then
too, the soil must be properly prepared. Do
not scratch over ground when it needs
plowing; do not plow it only once when it
needs cross plowing, and do not simply har
row it when thorough pulverization would
pay better.
Do not undertake to cultivate too much.
If you have P>o much land in cultivation,
you have to spread you* manure over too
much surface, and it does not receive at
mnch muscle work as is^iecessary. In fact,
a large area of land half cultivated and half
manured will not pay. Through the en
tire season give good care and culture U
your plant. When you hoe your crop do
not slight it. Do not permit weeds to grow
and sap a growing crop.
You want a good crop, do yon? Well,
good soil, good seod, good care, good culti
vation, as well as a proper amount of sun
shine and rain, are necessary, and if you
bring these to bear, a good crop is apt to *
the result.

or to cover them up. When the first work
is done, chopping out is a rather easy mat
ter, which should be done by the hoe
band* right away. Three or four plants
should be left in clamps, the distance apart
to be determined by the fertility and rich
ness of tbe soil. The hoes should pass
along as rapidly as possible, killing the
gras that is nearest the plants. Before
the hoe bands are fully over the cotton
crop, the plows should be again started, and

plants, so as not tn cover or choke them.
The hoes should fallow, catting away all

throwing a little soft fresh earth around

the ‘grass and weeds.
This working of the crop should
be carefully done. After tbe plants are

work is comparatively light. Good planters

crop where the rainfall is excessive or when
