The Weather and The Cyppi.
Never was the season more propi-
tious or the prospeot for the tanner
bo bright. The weather was, the past
week, exceptionally fine for farming
purposes and the crops grew rapid
iy. It was quite warm during the
past week, but the soil is in fine con-
ditipn and the farmers have made
tbeir work tell. Gardena were never
more luxuriant and corn and cotton
are just “Jumping”. Big crops and
good times are confidently expected.
The Georgia farmers get from half
a cent to a cent a pound more for
their cotton than the Texas fanners.
Cotton buyers have told us that this
was due to the charges made by the
Railroads for hauling Texas cotton to
the market. Georgia has nearly a
hundred cotton factories running,
but Texas—how' many has she—two
that we know of, and one of them
says that the raiiroads are ruinous
in tlieir freight charges, and the oth
er one is not running.—Tex as Star.
Sweet Tomato Pickle.—Slice one
gallon of green tomatoes, sprinkle
with salt, let stand twenty- four hours
drain; take two quarts vinegar, add
four cayenne pepper, pods, one cup
molasses, two tablespoonfuls mustard
seed and two tablespoonfuls each of
whole cloves and cinnamon bark; Jet
thia ooine to a boil, add four sliced
onionB and the tomatoes, boil eight
minutes. These will keep a year in
cans or jars.
Chicken Pudding.—Cut up a spring
chicken, and cook tender in a little
water; take up, spread on a dish sea
son with pepper salt and butter.
Make a thick batter. Butter a pud
ding dish, and pnt a layer of chicken
in, and pour over a cupful of
batter. Continue until the dish is
fall. Bake and serve with butter
sauce in a gravy boat.

Eat Nothing With Fish.
I think it is a wise plan that an
English friend of mine tells me Sir
Moreli Mackenzie adopts in his own
family, and has caused to be followed
by many of his friends and patients—
that of never allowing bread on the
table when he has fish there. Under
no circumstances will he eat or per
mit to be eaten, fish and bread at the
same time. He holds that the presence
of bread in the mouth prevents the de
tection of the presence of a bone,
which is lodged in the throat before it
is discovered, ami strangulation fol
lows. The wisest way is certainly to
eat fish alone, uever with bread or
similar substances for there is much
danger in fish bones.- Bt. Louis Globe-
Democrat.
FIFTH AVENUE BELLES.
Among the various “walks of life’
from which men choose their wives,
fashionable promenades are by no
means the most eligible.
"I really think my daughter would
spend her whole time iu Fifth avenue
if I would let her,” said a mother iu
our hearing the other day.
“Madam,” said we, “don’t let her.”
Fifth uvenue is a poor school for
girls who expect to become wives.
What sensible man would desire to
marry a mere gadder and shopper?
And surely no young lady is ambi
tious of marrying a fool.
That a belle and a beauty should
desire to be seen and admired is natu
ral enough, but the prettiest thing in
the world if continually on exhibition
becomes an object too familiar to be
much valued. A fair creature, who
divides her time between studying
fashions at the millinery aud dry-
goods stores and sailing up aud down
the sidewalk to display ttie same, is
not likely to shiue in domestic life
as the head of the home depart
ment.
Young men, who are blessed with
good mothers aud place a proper es
timate on home virtues and home
comforts, are not, us a general thing,
eager to transfer the butterflies of
fashiou, however beautiful, to tiie
lnatrinux ia.1 bower. Prudent bache
lors, who look before they leap and
deliberate before they pop the ques-
tiou— and really, young ladies, men
of this stamp make the best hus
bands—are Seldom seriously attract-
ted to the dashing creatures who
are always on parade, weather per
mitting.
Even you men about town have an
idea tlint a wile should be a home
body aud not a street body when
they propose to settle down, after
sowing their wild oats, they prefer a
quiet, dove-like woman for a mate to
a being
“gay of wing
As Eden’s garden bird.”
To be an object of public admira
tion is a delightful thing no boubt;
but it is much better to be an object
of private affection. One devoted
heart is worth a million of fascinated
eyes, and to miss the chance of a good
husband and a happy home for t lie
sake of much eye-worship and lip-
service is a most unfortunate blun
der.—New York Ledger.
Epoch.
The transition from long, lingering and
painful Blekness to robust health marks
an epoch in the life of the Individual. Buell
a remarkable event is treasured in the
memory and the agency whereby the good
health has been attained Is gratetully
blessed. Hence It is that so much Is hoard
in praise of Electric Hitters. So rnunv feel
they owe their restoration to health, to
the use of the Great Alterative and Tonic.
If you are troubled with uny disease of
Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of Ion# or
short standing you will surely find relief
by use of Electric Hitters. Bold at 50c. and

GWINE BACK HOME.
As we waited in the L. &. N. depot
at Nushville,for the traip some one
began crying, and an excitemeiit was
raised among the passengers. A brief
investigation proved that it was an
old colored man who was giving way
to his grief. Three or four people re
marked on the strangeness of it, but
for some time no one said anything
to him. Then a depot policeman
came forward and took him by the
arui, shook him roughly and said:
“See here, old man, yon want to
quit that! You are drunk, and if you
make any more disturbance I’ll lock
you up!”
“Deed, but I haio’t drunk,” replied
the old man, as he removed his tear-
stained handkerchief. “1’ze losted
my ticket an money, an’ data what’s
de matter.”
Bosh! You never had any ticket
or money to lose. You dry up or
away you go!”
“What’s the matter yere?” queried
a man as he came forward.
The old man recognized the dialect
of the Southerner in an instant, and
repressing his emotious with a great
effort he answered:
Say, Mars Jack I’se bin robbed.”
“My name is White.”
“Well, then, Mars White somebody
has done robbed uie of ticket and
money,”
“Where were you going?”
“Gwinedown into Kaintuck, whar
I was bo’n an’ raised.”
“Where’s that?”
“Nigh to Bowlin’ Green, sail, and
when de wah dun set me free I cum
np this way. Hain’t been home since
Bah.”'
“And you had a ticket?”
Yes, sab and ober $30 in cash. Bin
savin’ up for ten y’ars, sah.”
‘What do you want to go back for?’
“To see de hills and de fields, de
tobacco and de co’n, Mars Preston
and de good oie missus. Why, mars
White, 1’ze done bin prayin’ fur it fo’
twenty y’ars. Sometimes de longing
has outu tiil 1 couldn’t hardly hold
myself.”
‘ It’s too bad.”
“De ole woman is buried down
dar, Mars White—do ole woman on’
free chillen. I kin ’member the spot
same as if I seed it yesterday. You
go out half way to de fust tobacker
house, an’ den you turn to left an’ go
down tode branch where de wimtuen
used to wash. Dar’s fo’ trees on de
odder bank, and right under ’em is
who dey is all buried. I kin see it.
I kiu lead you right to the spot!”
“And what will you do when you
get there?” asked the stranger.
“Go up to de big house an’ ax mars
Preston to let me lib out de rest of
my days right dar. 1’ze ole an’ all
alone, an’ I want to be nigh my dead
Sorter company for me when my
heart aches.”
“Where were you robbed.”
“Out doahs, dar, I reckon, in de
crowd. See? De pocket is all cut
out. l'ze dreeuied and pondered—
1’zs bad this journey in my mine fur
y’ars an’ y’ars, an’ now l’ze done bin
robbed aud can’t go.”
He fell to crying and the policeman
came forward in an officious maimer.
“Stand back, sir!” commanded the
stranger. “Now, gentlemen, you
have heard the story. I’m going to
help the old man get back to die on
the old plantation and be buried
alongside hi- dead.”
“So am 1!” called twenty men in
chorus, and within live minutes we
had raised enough to buy him a tick
et and leave him $50 to spare. And i
when he realized ids good luck, the j
snowhead black, fell upon his knees
and prayed:—
“Lord, lzo been a believer in you

A newspaper man tells on his phy
sician, according to the Chicago Trib
une.
‘1 was sick and he left me some
medicine. The intention of the inedl-
ciue was to relieve me ol my ailment,
of course. 1 took it as he directed.
The next day he called and asked me
if I had followed his advice, 1 said
I had, and begged him for more of the
same kind. 1 told him it was the
best stuff I ever tasted, and soit was.
He looked at me and inquired careful
ly again. 1 repeated whut 1 had said.
“ ‘That medicine,' he replied, was
for tiie purpose of relieving you, but
before it reached that period you,,
should have been quite sick from the
effects of it.
“I told him I had experienced no
sensation such as he referred to. He
scratched bis head and then remark
ed that he was almost ready to admit
that lie had made some mistake or
that the prescriptionist had. I had
taken all the medicine, so that there
was nothing for him to analyze. He
took the bottle, however, and went
to the drug store where the contents
had been compounded. In an hour
lie came back aud said it was the
tbe prescriptionist’s mistake.
“ ‘However,’ he went on to say,
‘J don’t understand it, even with this
admitted mistake; for the medicine
which he sent you aud whioh you
took was put up for a sick horse,
and the clerk got iny label on the bot
tle.’’ ’
“That was the way the doctor got
out of it. But 1 got even with him
by telling him that I didn’t propose
to pay him a man’s fee for being doc
tored like a horse. He said he would
like to know how his medicine affect
ed the horse, and he went out to see
if he could ascertain. I haven’t seen
him since.”
After all, the best way to know the
real merit of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, is
to try it yourself. Be sure to get
