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.” - -4 ► - 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,— Atlanta Constitution. Terms—$1.00 per annum 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, as it should,—Good Housekeeping. ■-♦ - 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. From the Ch icago News. “I think,” said the Honorable Jat son Dalzell the other day, “I never was better come up with than I was onceby a youngster in the school which I taught after I had failed in business aid settled with my credi¬ tors for 30 per cent. The arithmetic class was on the floor, and I address¬ ed one of tho bright little fellows 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 an’ sometimes more.’ u i What do you mean, Bichard,’ I 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.” —New Rork Sun.
