A farmer within a few miles of
Hartford has been feeding a bevy of
fifteen quail all winter. They are all
evidently of one brood, have become
somewhat tame, and come within a
rod or so of the house to get their
breakfast. They show a preference
for buckwheat over other grain. It
is known to be a very warming food
but if too abundantly fed is likely to
be fatal. A resident of Best Hart¬
ford who found a bevy of nearly
starved quail in his yard during a
time of hard frozen crust on the
snow- in March, gave tho birds too
much buckwheat; the grain swelled
up in tbeir crops and killed them,
LO GOES TO HEAR TALMAGE.
THE TABERNACLE PREACHER TALKS
TO TIIE DOUBTERS AND SKEPTICS.
About a dozen of Buffalo Bill’s
Wild West Indians, wearing rain
bow-hued blankets and feathers, oc¬
cupied conspicuous seats in the gal¬
lery at the Brooklyn Tabernacle Sun¬
day and listened to Rev. 1. Dewitt
Talmage preach. They did not arrive
until the services had begun, and
quietly stole away during the sing¬
ing of the last hymn, so that only a
small part of the congregation saw
the noble red men. „
Mr. Talmage tjold the story of the
shipwreck on the Mediterranean sea
when Paul and 275 companions were
forced to swim for their lives. He
built his sermon upon theso words,
found in the forty-fourth verse of
the twenty-seventh chapter of Acts:
“Seine oil broken pieces of the ship.”
It was to those of the 275 who came
in oil the broken pieces of the ship
that Dr. Talmage said he wanted t»
call attention. “The great gospel
ship,” said he, “is the greatest ship
ever launched. It will carry more
passengers than any other, and it
can’t be wrecked. I wish you all
would come on board of it. I cannot
promise you smooth sailing all the
time, but I can promise you safe ar¬
rival at your destination. But many
people do not seem to want to lake
a complete passage. Their theology
is all broken to
“There are many people who do
not believe all there is in religion,
but they believe in one thing. I want
them to come in on that one plank.
Hundreds of people are wrecking
their moral hopes on tbo non-essen¬
tials of religion. A man may be or¬
thodox and go to hell, and he may
be heterodox and go to heaven. Take
Jesus Christ into your heart and you
will besafe. If you don’t do that you
will he lost. It you believe nothing
but that God came to save sinners
you can be saved. Just find a piece
of wood as big as your arm, and if
it be a piece of the cross you are all
right. Come in on that. One man
says he does not believe in the Prince’
ton theology, or the Andover theol¬
ogy. I don’t ask you to board either
of those men-of-war.
“I have been in doubt often, but
I made up my mind that if I loved
Christ and led a good life I would
be saved, and that if I didn’t I would
be damned, and all the theological
theories in the world would not save
me. I was further out on the sea of
doubt than any of the 276, but I got
ashore. My sympathies are more
aroused for the doubters because I
was naturally skeptical. I was an an¬
noyance to my theological professor
because I asked so many questions.
But I believe thai Christ came to
save sinners. I knew that I was one
of them. I came ashore and have
been here since. I have never dared
to venture upon the sea. In thirty
years I have not spent thirty min¬
utes discussing contested theological
questions which have destroyed so
many of my brethren.
“Another man says he does not be¬
lieve in hell. Do all men go to the
same place? Are the good and the
evil to dwell together? Are Charles
Guiteau and John YVilkes Booth in
glory shooting at a mark? If you
can’t come in on a ship fashioned in
a theological dry dock, come in on a
plank. I don’t know how your theo¬
logy came to be broken to pieces. It
inay be that your parents wire strict
and that they cracked you over the
head with a psalm book. But when
there are thousands out seaon the of
sin and hell, get out the lifeboats.
Let all other things go.”

Every nation, every city', every
town, every community is just what
the people make it. A live, progres¬
sive people will build up a prosper¬
ous town or city where the natural
conditions are even unfavorable,
while a careless, indolent population
will accomplish little, however great
the natural advantages of their local¬
ities may be. An intelligent traveler
can form a correct opinion of the
character of the people of a town by
passing through it.
A YAKN FROM GEORGIA
HKNRY MORTIMER DENUDED OF
HAIR BY HIS BROTHER.
Clayton Cor. New York Sun.
There lives in Cherokee county—
just across the North Carolina line
from here, a naan who is looked up¬
on as having the affliction of Cain.
He believes himself that Pfovidence
has thus marked him, and in conse¬
quence courts the nights, and never
appears m the light of day.
In 1844 a rich Virginia planter
named Mortimer sought the wilds of
Che!" „• -e county, N. C. Thither lie
took his family and a retinue ef
slaves. He was averse to the advent
of strangers. In this hatred of in
trusion he was fully joined by his
wife. To them were born two chil¬
dren, Henry and Edward. In course
of time Mr. Mortimer died, when the
care of the children fell wholly upon
the mother. She grew more and
iflore a hater of her kind. It is said
that during the four years of the war
not a human being outside of her
two children ever crossed the door
step. The children inherited the
strange characteristics of their pa¬
rents, and were regarded in the neigh¬
borhood as young Ishmaelites.
It was about eight years ago that
Edward lent his younger brother,
Henry, a small sum of money, which
the latter was slow about repaying.
One day Edward warned Henry that
he would kill him before the sun
went down if the money was not
forthcoming. Toward sunset, as Hen¬
ry was returning from hunting he
saw his brother advancing with an
open knife.
“Have you got my money?” asked
Edward.
“No.” was Henry’s response.
“Then die!” shrieked Edward, as
he rushed forward.
A bullet from Henry’s rifle pene¬
trated Edward’s forehead, and lie fell
dead. A terrible scene of excitement
followed. Henry refused to be ar¬
rested, and took refuge in the wild
haunts of Cheiokee. Vigilance final¬
ly relaxed, excuse was made for the
murder, and by degrees Henry ven¬
tured to appear pbroad again.
But the change which had come
over him produced a greater sensai
tion than the killing of Edward Mor¬
timer. He said that on the night af¬
ter he had killed his brother, he
found it impossible to sleep. Just
as he would begin to dose off his
brother would appear at his side,
and, with an expression of oxquisite
pleasure, he would slowly pluck, one
by one, the hairs from his beard and
face. For three months this refined
torture continued, when the visits
were stopped, and there was not a
single hair left on Henry’s body.—
The pores of the skin opened wider,
and with every breath the hundreds
of pores would act in sympathy, so
that on the warmest day the victim
would feel freezing cold. He retired
to a room in his mother’s house and
presistently refuses to let the light
of the sun shine on him. He says
that lie is punished as was Cain of
old.

LUMBER MEN IN COUNCIL.
THEY DECIDE TO ADVANCE THE PRICE
OF DRESSED LUMBER,
Montgomery, Ala., January 15—
The Yellow Pine Lumber association
composed of the yellow pine manu¬
facturers of Alabama, Georgia, Mis>
sisssippi, and Florida, met in conven¬
tion here to-day. It was decided to
entertain the lumbermen of the north
west, who arc coming south, after
holding a convention in Cincinnati
on the 18tli instant. The visitors will
number four or five hundred men.
They will be entertained at the ex¬
change hotel in the city. A commit¬
tee of lumbermen and citizens was
appointed to arrange for the enter¬
tainment. At tbe meeting to-day it
was also decided to advance the price
on all lower grades in dressed stock
one dollar per thousand feet on com¬
mon and flooring, and fifty cents per
thousand feet on standafd grades,—

The Southern Mails.
<*F5’om the Atlanta Constitution.
The Constitution’s complaint in re¬
gard to the burlesque mail service
now in opeaation in the Southern
States, has attracted the sympathetic
attention of the New York Sun. We
mention this because it is time the
rhatter was attracting somebody’s
aetontion. Our own congressman
seem to care nothing about it, and
though the Constitution is a demo¬
cratic newspaper, and has the credit
of being somewhat influential with
democrats, its complaints have no
effect in the postoflico department
in Washington. J (
The Sun says the complaint the
Constitution has made is a very se¬
rious one, and “one that Mr. Vilas,
for the sake of his own reputation as
well as the public interest and the
popularity of the administration,
bhould examine at once.” But if the
examination is made, who will it be
made by? Will it bo made by the
republican officials who continue to
hold office under tlio democratic ad¬
ministration, and who are doing ev¬
erything in their power to bring that
administration to grief? If so, an
examination would be worse than
useless. The republican officials
would turn in a whitewashing report,
and that would be an end of the ex¬
amination. Meanwhile, the mail ir¬
regularities, which are carried on by
the republican officials, continue, and
there seems to be no adequate reme
dv.
If the Constitution were edited in
the interest of the mugwump repub¬
licans its complaints about the shame¬
ful burlesque of a mail service that
we have in the South would perhaps
have some weight; hut, with the
blundering bluntness characteristic
of provincials we have grievously of¬
ficials who have practical charge of
tho postoffioe department.
The remedy is for Mr. Vilas to as¬
sert himself, and remove the repub¬
lican officials who are combining to¬
gether for the purpose of bringing
the democratic administration into
disrepute.
Winter in the South
Our letters from various portions
of the South, says tho Louisville (Ivy)
Home and Farm, indicate features
of unusual inter* st in connection
with the winter weather. The first
and most serious relates to the con¬
tinued drought in Texas. For enough
rain has fallen in some counties to
secure a stand of wheat, and the
ground is dry and dusty. In others
the cattle are suffering severely, and
the outlook in the drought stricken
region is exceedingly discouraging.
A dispatch from Sail Antonio, under
date of Dec. 20, says;
The winter prospect for cattle and other
live stock in the country west of here,
among the valleys of the Frio and Nueces
rivers, arc reported by stock menus being
very gloomy. The grass is all gone except
on the high divides, away from the water,
and losing cattle arc subsisting day, with on brush and arc
flesh every a prospect of
heavy mortality before condition, spring. but Sheep hard are
reported in better to
herd. Sinking wells on the devidcs is the
only remedy the stock men have.
This statement is fully sustained
by private advices we have from this
section of Texas, and presents a sit¬
uation of unusual gravity.
The South is not used to snow¬
storms, and yet the middle of De¬
cember it was visited by a storm that
seemed to have escaped from its
pay way, the snow falling in some in¬
stances to the depth of eighteen inch¬
es. Generally, it soon disappeared
under the climatic conditions that
prevail usually. No evil has come
from this snowstorm; on the contra¬
ry it is believed that its effect will
be beneficial throughout the region
over which it passed, though, as wi
have said, it did not continue long
enough on the ground to protect it
from the following cold weather. It
served at any rate to some extent as
a fertilizer, and we believe the bene¬
fits will be apparent throughout the
coming season.
In other respects the winter of
1886 in the South has been propi
tions, with seasonable rains, and as
yet no great damaging storms, cold
or sleet.
What. Women Need.
Womeri need to cultfvate theft
own resources n» ore. There are soaM
who, early recognize the difference of
value between the perishable and ica*
perishable things of this earth. Er»
ery valuable possession has its added
care and expense. People who were
once in moderate circumstances, or
poor, even, who grew wealthy, look
back'upon the old life as freer from
cates and happierfyofc, if they were
to go-back to their early qpgl simple
rtyi thcm.Tvery w%ld. wqptld se¬
verely criticise woman
needs to keep up her list of old
friends and to make new ones, tooj
the family and children cannot meet
all the wants that middle aged peo¬
ple must have for friendship. Not
any woman is so busy but that she
can find time to write an occasional
letter. If the friend to whom she
owes a letter would come to see her,
she could lay aside work and talk to
her, and urge her stay longer. One
can stop on the street at the risk of
taking pneumonia in winter, to talk
to a friend for half an hour, and why
cannot friends be civil when they do
not meet? Pure air every day, which
housekeepers need so much, would
freshen them up until twice the
amount of work could be accomplish¬
ed that there is, without tho dragg¬
ing sensation which one has who stay
so closely indoors. There are many
mothers and children who do not go
out for a week of snowy or stormy
weather, and all grow irritable or
cross, because they have failed to
provide theinseleves with proper pro¬
tections against storms—overshoes,
Eniisli leggings, rain coats or umbrellas. The
family entire goes out rain or
shine. Health ranks first with them,

The Little Girl of To-day.
A handsome, well-fromcd girl of
12 years who is elaborately dressed
three or four times a day, whose on¬
ly chaperon seems to be her maid,
who walks the veranda of a largo
hotel with the savoirfairoof the wo
man of the world, who sees her bed
usually at 12 o’clock, who donates
her stocking as a souvenir to her boy
lovers, and who, with more self-pos
session than sweetness, is quite cap¬
able of asking for the best place in
the dance or at the table, can not,
will not grow into the sort of a wo¬
man that one would want hoys to
marry; and yet this is tho typical
small girl. I quite believe that she
comes usually of the nouveau riche,
for people who arc really good form
do not cast there children upon tho
dangerous waters of public parlors
in large hotels. Good, strong, hearty,
healthful children in picturesque
clothes—for they do not need to be
ugly to be proper—give pleasure to
everybody; but “Frsu Frou”in min¬
iature, like an imitation of a puppet,
is to be frowned upon, derided, and
eventually driven from position, be¬
cause she is neither goad for, the
present, nor does she promise better
for the future.—New York Star,
A Youthful Financier.

which I taught after I had failed in

tors for 30 per cent. The arithmetic
class was on the floor, and I address¬

with:
“Richard, how many cents make
a dollar?”
“Little Dick looked slyly from
one to another of his mates, and hes¬
itatingly replied: uni—uth—sometimes
“Well, some

asked.
Cl ( Well,’ said he, ‘when you buy
things 100 cents make a dollar, but
when you pay for ’em 30’11 do it.’”
“What was it ma said to you when
you came in?” whispered young Bob¬
by to Featherly, one of the guests.
“Oh, simply that she was delight¬
ed to see me; that was all, Bobby.”
“I’m glad of it,” said Bobby,-and
a look of genuine relief came over
his face,Jeause she said this morning,
that she hoped you wouldn’t come.”
