Sio Ileal* Yesterday.
Yesterday was the regular trip day for
the Big Foot and the Wylly to return to
Columbus, but they did not nrrlvo, owing,
we suppose, to tho fact that they left hero
twenty-four hours after the regular sched
ule time. In all probability both will bo at
the wharf this morning, and leave during
the day.

Trade Yesterday.
Trade yesterday wns very dull. But
few people were on tho street and less
money. The man with his little knife
game was all the go for awhile at tho
Gedrgla Home Bank corner, anil some
few wore trying to gain tho money by
throwing the ring over the knife.
We hoard yesterday of one largo dry
goods house soiling out entirely to an

A Jail lor tlie lYsln-Gaiis.
We learn the County Commissioners
have determined to build a jail house on
the present jail square, designed for the
accommodation of the chain-gang. Wo
hope it Is true, for to a certain extent It
separates tho convicted thieves from those
parties charged with crime. We are In full
accord with the movement, for it Is just
what our artlolo a few days ago pointed
to.
Now if the Commissioners have tho au
thority,"and will use it to have tho women
given sopaialo and comfortable quarters,
wo think it will speak fur better for our
county, than the present plan of huddling
them together with men, In one room,
there to stay night and day until relieved
by action of tho courts.
A Slew Enterprise lor Columbus.
Wo have among us a class of citizens
who seem afruld of the future of our city,
and yet another “now departure" Is about
to take place among us. Wo are informed
that Mr. John Apployard, who for tho
past live years has I Mien foreman of the
Dyeing and Bleaching departments of tho
Eagle and Phenix Mills In our city, is p.e
parlng to commence dyeing and cleaning
gentlemen's and ladies’ clothing and
dresses, with a view eventually of extend
ing the buslnoss to yarn and warp dyeing.
In a few weeks Mr. Apployard will have
tho machinery, Ac., in place for a start,
intending to furnish such apparatus as
will cnablo him to dye and Unish such
work equal to that done in Northern
cities.
Success to Mr. Appleyard, we say, and
to all other such laudable enterprises.
North A smith Itnllroml.
Owing to some mistake in tlie time of
meeting of tho stockholders meeting or
tho North A South Bailroad, Mayor Cleg
horn has wtritton to tho different coun
ties, changing tho day from tho 12th Inst,
to Wednesday tho 19th Inst., at which
time It Is hoped that every stockholder
whofeeieany Interest in tho success of
tho road will bo present. The Mayor has
appointed a committee of council to look
after tho city’s Interest Harris county has
appointed her committoo and so has La-

Another view of the Jail.
Our article In regard to keeping white
womon and men in tho same room in jail,
has met with very general favor. The
jailor, Mr. Johnson, yesterday called upon
us, and argued that bocuuso tho white
creatures were debased and lower than
anybody, that tho place they aro in Is a
lit companionship for them.
Wo argued and still say that white men,
and men of all colors, should before, con
vlcttlou bo given different quarter’s and
treated differently than those under con
vhitlon. An innocent man or woman
mlgnt be placed In jail, and it is neither
fair or just that they bo placed on nn
equality and forced to associate with con
victs.
But the jailor objects to our proposition
to place those women in the debtors room
on tho ground that It puts them too near
his family. Wo did not want our efficient
jailor discomlilted, or inconvenienced, but
if making woman, however vile, more com
fortable, Inconveniences him, we hope an
other room will bo added to tho jail for
the use of*the jailor. There are live rooms
now, arid only one Is us.)d for a jail.
Wo Insist that tho demands of common
decency, a just regard for tlie require
ments of civilization should provide an
other room, than that now used for the
women, and still another for those men
chargod with crime Involving no moral
turpitude. A jail is erect.id for tho safe
keeping of parties, and not as a torment.
We hope our next grand jury will see
that those changes aro made. It is of
no Interest to us, further than public
journalist pointing out what wo conceive
to bo an error in tho management of our
jail. Wo do not blame anybody for It,
nor do we know that any one is to blame,
but wo ask for a change, and we think the
people of the whole county agree with
us. Already a large number have
thanked us for the suggestion.
Picnic at Union spring*.
Tho City Light Guards have determin
ed to have tltoir picnic at Union Springs
on the 8d of May. The companies they
proposed to join them have consented to
that time, and satisfactory arrangements
have been made.
The following dispatch from tho Union
Springs Base Ball Club was received yes
terday. It was sent, however, before the
arrangements were concluded, and the
Columbus Club will meet them on May 3d
instead of the 28th instant:

A. T. Ntcwurt. Is Until.
Everybody nearly yesterday learned
that the merchant prince of this country
was dead. He died yesterday at his resi
ddnee in New York. He was worth mil
lions, and ho ascribed his success to judi
cious advertising. Laying aside tho grav
ity of the subject several good things
were told on parties claiming relationship.
One was heard to walk Into a cigar store
and call for three nickel cigars and want
ed them charged, saying, my cousin
Stewart Is dead.
A gentleman from Harris county went
to a lawyer’s office, and said ho lmd just
heard A. T. Stewart was dead, and that he
was told Mr. Stewart had willed a million
dollars to the Harris county tornado suf
ferers, and said he was one of them and
wanted to know how he could get his
share. Tho lawyer had to explain.
—♦- i
To Merchant*.
The change from a daily to a tri-weekly
lms added largely to our list of sub
scribers, and has made our columns
greatly more valuable to advertisers than
they have ever boon heretofore; and while
wo have thus enlarged the seopo of their
usefulness, we have been enabled by the
largo reduction of expense to cut prices
down to a point that will enable all our
business men to advertise their wares
more largely than they have lately felt
justified In doing. Advertising will pay,
and wo intend to offer such inducements
to our merchants as wo hepe will seeure
a liberal patronage from them, even dur
ing tho dull months of the approaching
summer.
Temperance Movement. *
There is a strong effort being made to
revive the Order of Good Templars in this
city. A mooting was held last night at
tlie residence of a well known citizen, and
a partial organization was made.
Next week they have another meeting,
at which time a lot of members will join
and tho organization completed. There
is plenty ol' work in Columbus for just
such an organization.
Heavy Weight.
A negro woman hailing from Alabama
was in tho city yesterday, ller unusual
size was commented upon until at length
a merchant persuaded her to stand on tho
scales to bo weighed. She kicked tho
beam at 872 pounds. -This is considered a
pretty good weight for hard times, and
shows conclusively they have meat and
bread where she came from.

A Word lor Our.elve*.
Wo do not think the public at all Inter
ested In disputes between newspapers, and
therefore do not like to Indulge. But our
loaders, as well as ouroelves, don’t mind a
good joko told with goo*' feeling, but rath
er like it. A few weeks since wo were the
victim of a joke entitled "Gobbler’s Hill,"
und though at first we thought It pretty
rough, wo took It good naturedly, and re
plied with a truo tale on the man who In
vited a young lady to go with him to the
theatre, and then broke tho engagement
because he did not havo an extra free,
ticket. This, wo thought, was good hu
mored, but after waiting several days, a
follow, with tho aid of friends, finally
wrote a reply, signed “We,” in which he
excused himself for breaking the engage
ment with a lody because wo owed him
forty cents. Now we do owe somebody
forty cents, an amount we agreed to re
fund for a negro who desired to change his
subscription from tho Times to another
paper, but wo did not expect the fail
ure to pay would make a man appear so
very small, as on that account to decline
to fill an engagement with a lady; but we
did not think well, for now we beliove half
that sutr would causo him to break any
thing. But tho fellow signing himself
“Wo” has the following about us:
“After wo moved our place of business
Joe Perry, colored, un old subscriber of
ours, after his subscription had expired,
went le our former stand, thinking we
wore still there, und askod to subscribe for
tiio Enquirer. This editor told him ho was
in tlie right place and ‘took him in.’ ”
In reply to this wo would not say a
word, except that n failure to contradict
it might lead someone to construo our si
lence unfavorably, and therefore we are
constrained to pronounce it an unqualified
falsehood, prompted by malice and nur
tured by envy, and equaled only by the
representation made by “We” to Dr. Sheri
dan (as Dr. 8. told us) in Cusscta, that Mr.
B. was a subscriber to his paper of three
months standing, in order to Induce him
to become a subscriber, when he knew Mr.
B. was not a subscrlltcr.
As long as pararagraphs are good na
tured and fair we do not havo any com
plaint, but when they are groveling arid
"below the belt," we must call them by
proper names, and regret tho necessity.

The Hate or Eaxter.
Easter holiday Is fast drawing near, and
as there are a great many Episcopalians
and Catholics in this city, we think it may
be apropos to reproduce what tho Now
York Tribune, lias to say on tho subject:
A great many excellent people hero and
in England have been much perturbed re
specting tiio date of Easter Sunday in the
present year. They have been brought
up in a belief that it is to tie ascertained
by a simple little rule that connects it
with the first full moon after tho vernal
equinox. Tried by this rule the date
should bo April 9; but tho almanacs sin
that April 16 is Easter day. Now this is
really a serious matter, if traditionary
beliefs uro to go for nothing and Easter
day, Lent, and all the moveable feasts of
the church can be shoved ahead a whole
week at the will of the almanac-makers.
On another page we give a somewhat
elaborate review of tiio subject, from
which it will be evident that a great deal
can lie said on both sides, even at this late
day, notwithstanding the decision of the
Council of Nice in the fourth century, and
tiio reformation of tho calendar in the six
teenth.
The fact is that tiio popular methods of
finding Easter day aro something like the
magic balls in the Der Freischutz legend
-sixty times they hit, thrice they go
astray. There are rules which are accu
rate, but they are too cumbrous to bo car
ried in the memory of any except mathe
maticians. The good fathers of tlie church
who contrived tho prayer book taoles did
excellent service, and it is scarce!}*, vorth
while to go behind their work. Their ta
llies yield April 16th as tho date of next
Easter Sunday to any one who will take
tlie trouble to study out “Dominical let-'
tors” and “golden numbers." A wise
Frenchman did indeed draw up a simpler
scheme of tables and urgod its adoption
on tlie church. s.
This table was founded upon the full
moons, ns is tlie popular rule. But the
scheme of Pere Meliton found little favor
with the church; and as for astronomers,
they declared that no new plan was good
for anything till somobody would declare
where on earth the moon was to bo ob
served. VVo can therefore assure people
who are dissatisfied with their prayer
books that they re not likely to do better
elsewhere. If, however, they want to go
to the bottom of tho Easter controversy,
to got a full comprehension of all the dis
puted points, and to understand more ex
actly titan is indicated on our third page
why tho 16th and not the 9th of April is
in t his year the date of tho festival, wo
should recommend such inquirers to be
gin the study of tho subject oarly in life,
and not hope for tlmo to attend to any
other business till past the ago of seventy.

ME TIMES: TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 11, 1876.
Hog Raising In the south.
The hog question is beset with difficul
ties. It is by no moans clear that with
prevailing arrangements on crops, it Is
advisable or profitable to raise oil the ba
con needed in Ahe cotton States. In the
first place, tlie keeping of hogs, as prac
ticed in ante-bellum times, necessitates
tbo keeping of good fences everywhere in
and around tho farm, and keeping of good
fences involves very heavy expenses.
Again, the disease known as the hog chol
era has prevailed extensively. The loss
from that source has been immense.
Whether one can afford to take tho risk of
loss from this source, depends upon what,
in oach cose, is the cost of raising hogs,
and their value when ready for market—
as the cost and value approach each othur,
the smaller the risk that is justified. In
thickly settled neighborhoods, wo very se
riously doubt whether it pays to keep tho
hogs running at large, half starved the
greater portion cf the year, poking their
noses into your own and neighbors enclos
ures, stirring up bad blood and destroy
ing friendships. But, witli proper and
specific arrangements therefor, a farmer
can and ought to raise his bacon. Tlie
first item is to procure a quick-maturing
breed, and one that fattens readily. It
does not pay to koep a hog two years; ho
ought to bo ready for the knife when from
ten to twelve months old. In the next
place, the fewer the number of hogs that
can bo made to yield the amount of pork
required, the bettor. In other words, the
intensive is better than the extensive here,
as well as elsewhere on tho farm.
In the next place, it should not be for
gotten that, except on farms peculiarly
fitted for raising corn (with a large quan
tity of bottom land), it does not pay to
raiso pork on corn, The best calculators
consider that, when corn is worth 70 conts
a bushel, pork fed on it will cost from 8 to
9 cents, or bacon from 12 to 13 cents per
pound. How can pork be made without
corn ? We answer, by devoting a part of
tho farm specifically to this purpose, so
that only a little good, tight fencing will
have to bo kept up. In this enclosure a
part should bo sown to rye and oats for
winter and spring grazing. To these may
be addod some California and crimson
clover, where rod clover will not grow;
another planted In early peas, another in
oats to ripen, another in sweet potatoes,
another in goubers, and another in chufas.
Fruit trees, wild and cultivated, should
be planted in the hog Held—plums, wild
efierry, poaches, apples, blackberries, per
simmons and mulberries. Thoso fruit
trees could bo planted in the poorest spots
—the grazing spots alone need be very
rich. A succession of food can thus be
secured, finishing off with sweet potatoes
and chufas—the latter, it is claimed, mak
ing as white and as firm as corn itself. A
very great advantage of this plan is, that
tho hog is kept always under the owner's
eye. But enough has been said to convey
our idea, and we pass on. Peas after oats
intended to benefit the land. This benefit
is worth more to tiio farmer than are
all of tho gleanings by tho hogs. One
of the greatest evils of our farming sys
tem has been that of trying to got every
thing possible out of the land, and giving
It no chance whatever; too little specie in
the vault, and too many bank notes in
circulation. —American Scotch Journal.
