The pall* wore opened In the Council

to reoetve the votes of the people on the
amendments proposed to the State Con
stitution. ,
The day passed off vary qeletly, the
■Judge having It nearly all his own way.
There were polled 245 votes, 244 of whhih
were cast for ratification, and one single
vote against It. The conscientious Indi
vidual who thus manifested his anxiety to
pay those bogus bonds of the State, Is a
colorded man named John Tarver. John
Is badly outvoted, but It may be a conso
lation to him to knowthat tbs amount of
taxes he pays will never help a great deal

(Allen, fiction, rotten
A gentleman who has been traveling a
great deal lately among the fArmors, thin
us yesterday that it is a great mistake to
suppose the acreage of cotton is as small
this year as It was last, or that nny of the
commercial fertilizers used were put on
eorn. He says this year’s corn crop will
be much lighter than that of last year,
and the cotton crop will be much heavier,
If the same yield per acre fs iWllzod.
We oouslder this ondsr the circumstan
ces, very bad usws—for with the .prospect
of low prices for cotton and the certainty
of high prices for corn, wo are compelled
to look for blue times next year. Borne >
of the more thoughtful farmers aro wise
ly crossing their cotton with corn, slid
will endeavor by that means to remedy
Ibe error committed In not putting more ■
porn in, at the beginning.

Frost.
The weather lias been quite cold for
three or four days past, and no one was
surprised to hear that light frost was
seen in some localities, yesterday morn
ing. It was not heavy euough to do any
damage, even to the tonderest plants, but
the condition of the atmosphere that
made its appearance possible, at this sea
son, may unfavorably affect the growth
/of tho young crops.
Bishop Lynch, who has been lecturing
in Boston, Mates a story wtddr amit un
der his own observation fony years ago,
and illustrates the difference between En
glish and Americon character. Living
in the west a poor widow strove to main
tain herself and her two young sons, but
her health failed, and starvation stared
her in the fare. Under the English sys
tem the family Woifld have bebh sent to
the pool-house, which would have blight
ed their lives forever. A kindly neigh
bor took one of the boys into his family
and gave such assistance to the mother as
enabled her to lace the world. In a few
years the boys were able to maintain their
mother from their own earnings. One of
the boys is to-day the general of the
United States army ; tin other is secreto
ry of the treasury. *
A Duinc or Mlutr Well Flayed.
I hud arrived at the outskirts of
• tho town, and we stopped before u
dirty-looking wooden cottage.
A tall man dressed In a long coat
reaching to his heels, bright yellow
trousers, which were stuffed into a
of leather bootf while an enor
mous black sheepskin cap covered
bis head, came out and asked uiy
business. I said that'l wanted thrCe
horses to go to the nett stage, and
asked him what he would drive me
there for, the regular postal tariff
.being about two rubles.
“Oue of noble bum,” replied the
fellow, “the roads (ire baa, but my
horses will gallop the whole way.
They are excellent horses; all the
people In town look at them and
envy me. They say, how fat they
are! look, how round! The Govern
or has not got any horses like mine
in his stable. I spoil them; I cherish
them ; and they gallop like the wiud.
The people look, wonder aud admire.
Come and see the dear little ani
mals.”
“I have no doubt about it. They
aro excellent horses,” I replied ; “but
what will you take me for?”
“Liet us say four rubles, your Ex
cellency,and give me one on acoount.
One little whole silver ruble; for the
sake of God let me put It In my pock
et, and we will bless you.”
“All right,” was my answer; “send
the horses to the Tzarskoe Belo Inn
immediately.”
Presently the fellow rushed into
my room, and, bowing to the ground,
took off bis cap with a grandiose air;
then, drawing out the money I had
given him from some hidden recess
In the neighborhood of his skin, he
thrust the ruble into my baud and
exclaimed;
“Little lather, my uncle owns one
of the horses; he is very angry. He
says that he was not consulted in the
matter, and thut he loves the animal
like a brother. My uncle will not let
his horse leave the stable for less
than live rubles. What is to be done?
I told him thut I hud agreed to take
you, and eveu showed him the
money; but ho is hard-hearted aud
stern. ’
“Very well,” I said; “bring round
the horßes.”
In a few minutes the fellow re
turned, and exclaimed :
“One of noble birth, I am
ashamed!”
“Quite right,” I said; “you have
every be so; but goon: is
your uncle’s horse dead?”
“No, oue of noble birth, not so bad
as that; but my brother is vexed. He
has a share in one of the animals;
he will not let me drive him to the
next station for less than six roubles,”
and the mau, putting on an expres
sion in which cunning, avarice and
pretended sorrow were bleuded, rub
bed his forehead and added, “What
shall we do?”
I said, “You have a grandmoth
er?”
“Yes,” he replied, much surprised.
“How did you know that? I have ; a
very old grandmother.”
“Well,” I replied “go and tell her
that, fearing lest she should be an
noyed if any accident were to hap
pen during our journey, for you
know misfortunes occur sometimes;
God sends them.” I added, piously.
“Yes, he does” interrupted the man.
“We are simple people, your ex
cellency; and, not wishing to hurt
the old lady’s feelings, should the
fore-leg of your uncle’s horse, oi the
hind leg of your brother’s suffer on
the road, I have changed my mind,
and shall not go with you to-day, but
take post horses to-morrow.”
The man now became alarmed,
thinking ho wus about to lose his
fare. He ‘rubbed his forehead vio
lently, and then he exclaimed, “I
will take your excellency for live ru
ble*.”
“But your brother?”
“Never mind ;heis an animal; let
us go.”
“No,” I answered, “I shall wait ;
the post horses are beautiful horses;
lam told that they gallop like the
wind ; all of the people iu the town
look at t hem, and the inspector loves
them.”
“Let us say four roubles, your ex
cellency.”
“But your uncle mtght beat you.
I should not like for you to get
hurt.”
“No,” was tbe answer, “we will
go;” and the knotty point being
thus settled,we drote off. - Bumaby’s
