The stomachs of several cattle which died near Whitmore, la., were found to be lined with mud taken in with filthy water they were compelled to drink. Seme people who are too honest to steal and too proud to beg seem to compromise with nature and pride by borrowing and buying on credit.— Albany News.

Alluding to tile gallant toast of Char les Dudley Warner to Miss Winnie Davis, at Danville, the Boston Herald says: “Fortuately. Mr Warner is a Republican editor, and. therefore, it will be difficult to fire the Northern heart by his action, but one trembles to think what might have been the eruptions at Augusta and at Wor cester had an unanointed Democrat done this dreadful thing. General McLaws in Boston.— Boston, November 12.—The New England club will entertain General LaFayette McLaws. of Savannah, Ga., on Saturday.

How Hawks and Owls Eat. Capt. Tom Langston, who is one of Atlanta’s most enthusiastic sports men, says: “Did you ever notice a hawk or an owl preparing to make a meal on a bird? Well, if you have not, I have, and the difference in their methods is very great. A hawk will first pick all the feathers off the bird and then tear it to pieces as it is de voured. He goes at it in a very system atic and dainty manner. Not so with an owl. After killing a bird the owl swallows it whole, feathers and all. He then sits quietly, and in an honr or so you will see the owl move his neck about as if he was trying to un tangle a knot in it. Then he will sort of hump up his back, lower his head and the next moment a ball of feath ers will roll out of his mouth. The operation shows that the owl divests the bird of its feathers after swallow ing it, while the hawk plucks out ev ery feather and quill before he takes a bite. You get an owl and I’ll agree to get a hawk, and some day we will give a performance.—Atlanta Consti tution. Watterson Not to Take Charge of the Herald. Nfxt Wednesday. 24tb, will be Georgia’s first Arbor Day. Senator C.R. Pringle, a delegate to the southern forestry congress which recently met at De Funiak Springs, Florida, recently communicated toGorern- erGoidon the resolutions adopted by that body requesting that the Governer of every Southern State should designate some jmpropriate day to be observed as Arbor Dav in the State. Governor Gordon, in a proclamation acknowledging the wis dom and propriety of this suggestion, designated the fourth Wednesday in No vember as “Arbor Day for Georgia.” At the hotels at Atlanta Sunday, there was a noticeable absence of members of the General Assembly. Louisville, November 15.—The Hon. Henry Watterson, editor of the Courier Journal, returned home to day from his European trip. A dis patch from New York to the Commer cial having said that Mr. Watterson would soon take editorial charge of the New York Herald: “There is no more ground for the report that I am go ing to edit the New York Herald,” said Mr. Watterson to day, “than can be found in somebody’s lively imagina tion.

Beltran, son of our well known fellow citizen, R. Beltran, Esq., commission mer chant on Decatur street. The blow was a severe one, and it struck Adolph so unexpectedly that lie has not entirely recovered his senses, though in possession of more cents than he ever had in the course of liis check-ered career. On Wednesday, with a dollarous ex pression in his eye, he visited the office of The Lottery Company, and inquired for the root doctor. This singular inquiry excited the curiosity of the office, and he was invited to a seat in the left-hand ward. His pulse being felt, an extraordinary contraction of the muscles of the dig its of his right hand was discerned. On reducing the same, a lottery ticket was revealed, bearing the number 94,552. A quick diagnosis of his case was made. The lottery wave had given him, in the drawing on Nov. 9, for a one-dol- lar investment, the sum of fifteen thousand dollars. The “root of all evil,” in the form of very hard cash was at once admin istered, and Mr. Beltran’s singular in quiry was explained.

The large number of trains runing in and out of Atlanta, and the quick schedules, give the law makers easy opportunity to go home Saturday night so that they may spend Sunday with their families. As a rule, the unmarried members remain in the city, but they are a small minority.—-Augusta Even ing News. Hewitt Griner, says a St. Louis dis patch, an extensive ranchman of Western Texas went ov r er into Mexico, just across the river and was killed at Lox Yecos, by some Mexicans with whom he had had a difficulty. He and some American friends had a fight with the Mexicans. Griner’s body was riddled with bullets and one •of his men, John Weaver, was also killed. One of the Mexicans was kill ■ed. The Americans, the balance of <the party, succeeded in escaping un der a volley of bullets. There was greet excitement among the Ameri cans on the border. Collector Crenshaw Is busy testing oleo margarine and pure butter. He uses a very little contrivance manufactured by Josiah T. Halre, or Chicago, and which Is likely to be adopted by the collectors for testing the articles called butter exposed or offered for sale. Mr. Haire sent collec- •tor Crenshaw a couple of hts bogus butter testers and said he would give a reward ot ;$100 to any one who could not easily dis tinguish blitter from oleomargarine or other compounds sold as) such. The tester -consists of a simple little clear glass tube with large open mouth and a small tin can •in whic*n to! place it. After filling the can with water and allowing it to remain at ■a certain temperature the tube is placed in the hot water and filled with butter cr ole omargarine, It is allowed to remain in the hot water until cold, and if it is genu ine butter the cheese settles in the bottom to a depth, while the fluid remaining on top is perfectly clear. If the article is not gen uine butter it refuses to become clear, but is of an opaque and ropy nature, and is not clear. Mr. Crenshaw has tested It several times, and he feels sure that it will not be necessary to send samples to the depart ment to be analyzed before saying whether the tax 9hould be paid on it or not. ly 21 years of age) stated that he is a native of New Orleans, and is now working in the labratory of the Plan- v-r - *,-igar Refinery, learning the bus iness under Mr. John Reynolds, and that the sudden accumulation of wealth will in no way affect his reso lution to master his adopted profes sion.

In using cotton seed and acid phosphate for manuring land the quantity should be regulated by the condition of the soil. On ordinary ?d from 10 to 35 bushels of the cotton seed and from 75 to 1M pounds of the acid phosphate would be sufficient but that quimtity would be too much on land of g°od|quahty.
