NOT ENOUGH EVIBKNUE TO DETAIN HIM.
- mm ■ i —ni ■■ ■ ■■
Monday Mrs. Lyon had a hearing be
fore Judge O’Neall upon a writ of habeas
corpus to give bond.
Tho attorneys conceded tho right to
ball, and left tlio court to fix It. Tho court,
after considering the case and her ability
to give bull, fixed the bond at
THBCB THOUSAND
dollars. Mrs. Lyon anil her attorneys
were very well satisfied with tho amount
fixed.
It is understood that she will have no
trouble in giving the bond, having friouds
who will go upon It. and property enough
to make them secure. Bho appeared In
the same Indifferent, manner as she mani
fested throughout tho trial at Crawford,
ami her spirit not at all broken. Surely
she Is a wonderful woman, whether guilty
or Innocent. There Is not ono womnri In
a thousand that could have gono through
what she has, and not showed signs of
worry and distress.
TEBIIY,
the man accused as accessory to the
crime, was to have had his trial yester
day, but we have not been advised of the
results. A gentleman just from thore,
says there la no evidence against him
strong enough to detain him, and that the
trial magistrate will set him free.

Tho attendance oil the Mayor’s Court

tho salutary Jcssons taught the day bo

in the guard-house, there to stay until the

Here is what a correspondent of the
Augusta (XmutUiUionalisl has to say about
an ex-citizen of Columbus, who is well
remembered here by hundreds who would
bo glad to welcome him back, should his
“old red hills” prove strong enough to
dissolve the bonds which now bind him to
old Virginia:
A Noted Odd Georgian.— About two
miles from Warronton lives another re
markable man, better known in Georgia
than Virginia, on account of his long res
idence—extending over more than half a
century—in the former State, and his
conspicuous eonnection|wiUi her politics
during that protracted period. I allude
to General Bothune, for so many years a
prominent citizen of Columbus, and so
well known throughout Georgia as an
editor and politician. Lwas his guest for
a night, and riohly was I entertained by
liis reminiscences of the past, from the
stirring old times in Georgia when Troup
and Ciiu ko were the two great political
antagonists in the State, down to the fate
ful day of secession. The old General
seems as young and stout, and is ns
strong-voiced as when I first saw him,
many years ago, when I was a boy. He
has been living in Virginia since the close
of the war, but I think he has a yearning
for his native State, and shall not be sur
prised if lie yet returns to her "red old
hills.”

Our little sister Florida is just trying

previously been leceivcd,and what Is moro
they are good 6lzod and richly flavored.
There is no dispute about her orange
boxes, whatover may bo said by returning
boards of her ballot boxes.
By the way, the boats are bringing us
from Florida a greater variety of supplies
this season than heretofore, nnd in great

Scarcity ot Money.
There is no doubt but the present condi

every family to look carefully to their ex

Cough, etc. Coughs and Colds will pre

other throat and lung diseases, will carry
off many.—These diseases should not be

commenced shedding about the opening
of that campaign, and turning white feath
ers by leathers, as the new leathers came
back. Before the day of election she had
lost her last black feathers, and was per
fectly white, with the exception of one
yellow feather,and on the day of election
she lost the yellow feather and is now as
white as snow. This can be proven by at
least a dozen respectable citizens.”— S. C.

Though the clouds arc hovering dark
over the Palmetto State, and fraud stalks
rampant over her sacred soil, tho above
is ominous, and breads disaster to the
birds of black feather who have lorded it

ily come when Hampton will be declared
"in,” and Chamberlain out, even if Hayes
is seated.
Snaii.s as Food. — A tourist describes
the sale of snail 9 in the sown of Tivoli,
near Rome, ns a source of much profit to
the peasants of that district in rainy
weather, when this cuiious edible is abun
dant in the olive groves. The flavor is
pronounced delicious, more so than scol
lops oroysters. When artistically cooked,
ttie reluctant foreigner does not long de
cline this much despised Crustacea. The
cooked snail is further said to possess the
quantity of restoring tone to the coating
of the stomach when badly injured by
strong driuk.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel
known agriculturist, Solon Robinson:
All the farmers were ol‘the ‘ well to do” sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention
to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey,
and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, iu
which deposits ot peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it
has been exhausted of its natural fertility.
It is certaiuly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable
condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some
of the oldest farms apparently just a*3 profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The geologiat would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a
marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in
the form of indurated calcareous uiarl. showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia
ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted
form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the fanner desires to
cultivate.
