THE SOLDI AS IT IS. A Constitution Correspondent Travelling Through Dixie. ABOUT ALABAMA AND ITS PRODUCTS. Biloxi, Miss,, November fi, 18S7.—[Staff Correspondence Constitution.]—There arg a lot of ignorant people in the world, who, when they hear “Mobile plants ’, talked of. have suggested to their minds a sort of smooth trim green shrub, set out along nicely graded white walks of powdered oyster shells. Biloxi, the great oyster port of the gulf coast is reached by rail or sail lifty miles down the gulf from Mobile. The town itself is not much to speak of, though the people are proud of its antiquity,its origin being claimed to ante date that of New Orleans by some years. In fact an old village fisherman who was quaffing with an affecta tion of intense delight the sulphurous water of the artesian well that flows steadily and boldly every second a stream as large as one's arm, toid me that Biloxi was really intended to have been Mobile. I had heard somewhere’s before a remark of a similar nature—where— and finally 1 located it one Sunday afternoon at the Oconee White springs, in Hall county, where P ;rson Reynolds, an ignorant Hardshell of doubtful orthodoxy, made the same remark to a daffer young blood from Atlanta, only it was "you ain't a sayin’ of nothing agin’ that Charley, for youns and means a come be ing mighty nigh daddy and son. for your mam my, as likely a wench as ever Hitched water on a cow’s teats was powerful in the way of lovin' of one another in them days!” But be that as it may. Forty years ago there was not an oyster on the gulf eoast anywhere near Biloxi. The* town itself was a rude summer hamlet where a few New Orleans families came to spend the warm months of the year. Today the. sound and coast are literally swarming with the bivalves, and the rude village from its humble origin has become a place of 2,400 souls. Man, woman and child in Biloxi are engaged in the oyster trade, the men doing the rough work connected with the fishing, boating and drag ging, the women and children attending to the opening and the canning. The gulf coast is twenty miles from Biloxi beach, the waters of the Mississippi sound in tervening, and the land strip ship island being the outer shore. The Biloxi beach is covered with small wharves, boat houses, and piers, and most of the entire business of the coast is done here. Os course the preparations re quired for even an extensive embarkation in the oyster trade are not very elaborate, but of late years establishments for the steaming of oysters and their canning have been erected, and more employees and better buildings are required. It is a picturesque sight to see the Biloxi oyster ilcet in motion. The boats are one masted luggers, ranging from two to eight tons carrying capacity, when they set out,the row is a long one, the faster craft slow, ly forging into lead, all going swiftly for while they mostly carry but one sail, they are made for all sorts of weathers and seas. The boat’s load when discharged will generally pan out from two to three hundred tubs. The oyster captain frequently owns the boat, con trolling the two or three men forming the cretv. Others there are who are employed in various ways; in any one does the compensa tion amount to very much. The fishermen as a rule work entirely upon their own chance of profit, they being entirely a distinct class from the boatmen. Some of the larger fishermen have captains whom they supply regularly, having ready at stated times a certain amount of the oysters. It frequently so happens that a captain whose trade is large and growing has eight or a dozen fishermen working for him. They sell their oysters at so much per tub, a tub always being in shell, and the measure generally a flour or similar barrel sawed equally in two. The best class of oysters at the grounds bring from 51.30 to $1.50 per tub. Os course, the price varies according to the quality, but the quality is generally de pendent upon a locality so far as the fisherman is concerned. Often the captain, on his arri val at the town, sells oat his entire cargoat from $1.75 to $2.25 per tub, and the price has been known to be higher. He makes large profits in other ways; for instance, rarely, if ever, docs ho give the same size tub to the dealer as he received from the fisherman, con sequently in one cargo the difference in quan tity may reach eight tubs, which at a fair profit, would realize him $12.00. The people are a simple minded, honest peo ple. Though they sell their cargoes every day, and deal with any and every one, dishonesty is unknown. One peculiarity of their dealing is that there is no “jewing down” the price. A fisherman sets his price on his tubs, if the luggerman or captain does not care to take it, he says so, and that is the end of the business, the tub being allowed to wait for the next boat. Nearly all the people engaged in the trade at Biloxi and on the coast are foreigners, and we are so often accustomed to associate dishonesty and trickery with this class. Yet nothing is farther from the truth. The oldest man in Biloxi—one who was there before the oysters came—told me he had never known of an incident, and had only heard of but one. The courts have nothing to do with these men; they live their simple life, and drink their abominable drink with a complacency and a contentment worthier a higher and a better calling. The fishermen live in small houses or sheds on land convenient to the fishing grounds, and rarely leave to visit the town; the lugger boat as it comes for its load brings them the provender that is their daily fare. They drink to some extent, but not inteinperately, the manner of their life and the exposure subsequent thereto making this in a great measure indispensable. Aus trians, Hungarians, Greeks, and Italians pre dominate among them. All the pierposts about Biloxi are covered with oysters more than half way up their sides. The bivalves will cling to anything, an old shoe, a bottle, a stick, or a plank will in a short time start an oyster bed. At low watc< the beach at Biloxi is liter ally covered with oysters, some having been thrown therc-because too young, and others for good reasons. Year by year these increase in size and succulency, and frequently some of the finest oysters found are just on the beach. The excellence of an oyster depends, by no means, upon its size. If this were otherwise, the Biloxi oyster, the largest to be found, would be the very best; but its excellence is altogether tiie result of its treatment, and the peculiar, yet simple, treatment given them by the Biloxi fishermen, accounts for its alleged superiority. Oysters taken from the very same bed differ in size and in quality. This is looked after in loading the boats, the poorer ones being put in first, the second best next, leaving the best on top. I suppose it will bo observed that the best in every basket is found on top—a very trite and true observation. The first dealer who gets a chance at the cargo gets frequently the very best, while the last man gets the poorest, but each buyer endeavors to purchase according to the quality of his custom, and he will oftentimes refuse at all to buy, for the reason that he cannot get what his patrons want. It so happens that the captain has to throw over a lot, or the fisher at the grounds finds on his hands a quality he can't sell. He treats these judicially; taking them to a reef where the depth of water is condu cive to superior growth, he throws them ever board and waits until next season. The poor est then have very apt become the best, an application, if you please, of the last being the The product of Biloxi does not go to Mobile, that city being supplied by equally as fine plants from a place higher up the coast. Neither does it go to Naw Orleans, the Creoles netting theirs from bayous lower down still. Tie y .0 to the great cities of the west and north by thousands of barrels, and find, doubt -I<warm and overweening hospitality. So much can be written of this quaint old sea town that it is a pitv to close forever a letter from this point.

P. THROUGH DIXIE. GEORGIA, From the Early County. Ga., News. Mr. L. I». Gay, familiarly known as “Pat ‘.lay.'' is certainly entitled to tiie sobriquet ot the I champion farmer of Early county. From what we I deem reliable authority we learn he has this year I raised on his farm something near one hundred i bales of eottou, bestdesan immense quantity ofcoru, I and from this production w ill clear above allex i peases near fifty bales of cotton. "Pat,’’ though young in years, with such licks as this, is destined to be one of the weuithy planters of our county. Front the Leary. Go., Courier. It is refreshing to note the growing interest of our tanners in stock raising. There ate probably now more coils iu Otihoun countv than ever before known in its history. Colonel‘L.

Mrs. McNeil committed suicide at Prestcn by drowning. George McNeil, her husband is miller for S. Bell, who lives some four miles north of Preston. The family arose early, Mc- Neil having to come to Preston to meet Mrs. McNeil’s sister, who would arrive on the 6:55 a. m. train. As soon as ho got up he took a boat and went up into the pond to fish bis nets, bringing back with him a string of fish. He took them in the house and laid them on the hearth in the cook room. His wife became angry, and began to abuse him, saying she could not keep anything clean for him. He, in reply, began cursing. She said she would drown herself, and he, told her that he didn't care a d—n if she did. She immediately ran out of the house and jumped into the pond where the waterwas ten feet deep. McNeil and his wife’s sister both saw her when she jumped in. McNeil can't swim, but he and wife’s sis ter made efforts to save her by handing her a long pole. Either from a determination to commit suicide or exhaustion, she made no ef fort to catch hold. She was fished out in a very short time by some of the neighbors who arrived. The unfortionate woman’s sister, Miss Carrie Thornton, who was present, says that she is satisfied that she did not intend drowning herself, butjthought she would be rescued by her husband. They had not been getting along very agreeably; were continually having little spats, and she had threatened to drown herself several times before, when at last she repeated her threat no attention was paid to it. From the Americus, Ga., Recorder. More grass, more stock and less cotton, would increase tiie prosperity of Georgia farmers. Maggie Galloway,a notoiious Macon woman, was arrested Tuesdy night for being drunk and disorderly, and was placed in the barracks. Wednesday she had sobered up a good deal, when she talked through the bars of her cell. She told a remarkable tale about Cook, the ex-sheriff of .Tones county, whose dead body was found in the Ocmulgee river Sunday af ternoon. Maggie Galloway says ho was murdered by two white men last Sunday night, near the house where Sophia Thompson;|livcd, close by the park, and a short distance be low tie Central railroad bridge, and his dead body was then thrown into the river, not far from where Will Bass found a hat, which, it was claimed, belonged to Cook. Maggio says she had gone to Sophie Thomp son’s to see her, not knowing that she had moved, and her attention was attracted by one of the mon calling Cook a hard name. One of the men was quite large and the other rather smaller, and the small one accosted his com panion by the name of “Jack,” and the larger one called him “Bob.” She saw the faces of all the men by the light of the matches they constantly struck to examine the money and other articles they took from Cook. She heard Cook say, *‘Gentlemen I will give you every thing T have got rather than have a fuss or be hurt. There is two dollars and some odd cents in my pocket you have not taken yet.” As soon as he uttered these words Maggie says she saw one of the strangers raise his hand and in it glittered some kind of a bright sharp looking weapon, and it was plunged seemingly right in the big man’s|body and he fell down to the ground with a groan. 'The men then picked up his body, carried it to the river near by and threw it in. Maggie says she started to Walk off, hoping to get away in the darkness unobserved, but the two men saw her and commenced to pursue her and called her to stop, but she only ran faster. The race was kept np until she had reached the depot of the East Tennessee railroad, when her pursuers stopped and wont off in another direction. She states that the killing of Cook occurred on Saturday night of the fair, and his hat was found in the river by Will Bass on Thursday of the week previous. A Knoxville correspondent, speaking of the Mathews boiler explosion, says: Not a sign of the engine or boiler was left where it stood. Mr. Forest J. Mathews, the proprietor of the mil), and one of Crawlord's best young men, was torn into atoms; he was thrown seventy-five yards through the tops of trees. Every bone in him was broken; half of his head was torn off and all of his brains were gone. All of his clothing were torn off of him. He presented a ghastly and horrible sight. Hamp Richardson, a negro, was thrown fifty yards and torn all to pieces. No two portions of his body was found together and his heal has not been found'yet. _ Henry Filter, colored, was killed, his brains was knocked out. Eli Colbert, who is fatally injured, was thrownup twenty feet into the air, and fell through the top of tiie an oak tree, all of his clothing were torn off of him. The machinery was 1 lown in every direction. A piece of the boiler that would weight 1.'.00 pounds was thrown fifty yards, it struck a pine in a few feetof tiie mill that inches in diameter knocked it up by the roots,broke it into small pieces and through a piece twenty feet long forty yards. The crown was thrown yards feet in another direction, struck a wagon and tore it all to pieces. At the breakingout of tiie war Bryant James, of Eufaula, Alabama, left, fur the front as first lieutenant of Colt’s artillery. As he bade farewell to his young wife he placed upon her finger a plain gold ring, bidding her remember him. At one of tiie terrible engagements around Petersburg while shelling a federal battery, a shell from the enemy carried off the lieutenant’s right arm, taking away as a sacri fice to the cause the hand that had so tenderly placed the ring upon the fair hand of his wife. This invested the ring with a tender pathos, and though now after nearly a quarter of a century’s wear the ring has worn to a slender band of gold, it has never been taken from her linger, and Mrs. James says that it never shall. Saturday was the biggest day Randolph has seen in a long time. It was the occasion of the colt show, which had been industriously advertised under the auspices of tiie Randolph County Agricultural society, and appropriate premiums offered for the best displays. Early in tiie day tiie farmers began to arrive from every quarter, bringing with them colts of every ago, color and size. Stock raising is a comparatively new indus try in this section, but those who are familiar with other sections where it is the chief oc cupation of the people, say that tiie exhibit here was very flattering. The enclosed circle of about one acre, where formerly stood the courthouse, was selected as the most appro priate place to show the stock, and into this they were led as fast as they arrived in town. By eleven o'clock the show was a magnificent one. The enclosure was full to overflowing with as pretty colts, varying in age from two years to six months old, as any county in tlin state could show. Farmers old and young thronged around the fence in an ecstacy of delight. Tim rivalry was warm and unusually strong. Between a number of colts, competent critics differed as to which should wear the blue ribbons. Home home raised horses three yean old and up, were also led around the enclosure, and their stylo and qualities challenged the admiration of all. It was the unanimous verdict that the best draft combination and fancy itor-ei in tiie ‘ county were those ra sed within her borders. I F,om the W1 sT:n; ton, <,» , Gazette. i Tho neighboring little c?y of Lincolnton was startled Thursday evening at 8 o’clock by I t ' o sharp report of a p.'.stol, coming from the ■ direction of the postofhee. It was found that 1 J.lf. B. Mathews (commonly known us Boots ■ Mathews) had shot and killed Mr. Is. C. Sncl- ■ sun, a highly respected citizen of that place. It seems that Boots Matbows had bee n gin , ning for Hudson, and while there borrowed ■ some planks from him. On Thursday I Mathews finished ginning, and removed lus . mar binary. That evening the two men met in | Lincolnton, when Sndson said to him: | ''Matbtws did you return that plank you borrowed from me?” Mathews replied, “No.” Snelson then said: “You arc going to return them ain’t you?” Mathews said, “No.” ’’\\ ell then,’’ said Snelson, “you are guiltv of a rascally trick.” ’A hereupon Mathews pulled out a 38 calibre bnuth iS; Wesson pistol and shot him just be low the left temple, Snelson fell on the floor mortally wounded and lived only a few minutes.

Its Detection Publicly Claimed by the Ohio State Food Commissioners. “The Ohio State Dairy and Food Commis sioner, General S. 11. Hurst, has made public (Circular No. 6) the results of the Commis sion’s investigation of baking powder. This commission was formed by the legislature, with instructions to make an examination of the food supply of the state, and to give a report of such examination to the public. The examination of the baking powders was made by Prof. 11. A. Weber, State Chemist, and, relating as it does to an article of daily use in the food of almost every one, is of particu larinterest.” The startling fact is brought out by the re port that the “Royal” baking powder con tains carbonate of ammonia—a powerful but unclean gas generating substance originally derived from animal excrement. It is but fair to say that the Commissioners found Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder free from this poisonous drug and that it is recommended by Government Chemists, the heads of tho Groat Universities and Public Food Analysts as tho purest, strongest and most healthful, for gen eral family use. As health is paramount to all other consid erations wo would advise all housekeepers, for tho detection of concealed Ammonia and other deleterious drugs as well as to determine the purity of any Baking Powder, to make this simple test: Mix in a tin cup a heaping teaspoonful of the powder with two teaspoons ful of cold water, place it over the fire, stirring constantly and allow it to boil, then smell. If adulterated, that unspeakable odor|proving tho source of Ammonia will bo plainly detected. The presence of Ammonia in most cases in dicates that Alum is used, as nearly all tho Alum of commerce contains ammonia. Pure Baking Powder will not give tho faintest Ammoniacal odor.
