OUT OF DAN GEE,
Congressman Springer's Physician*
Declare Bim Convalescent.
WILLIAM M. SPRINGZB.
Congressman Springer, Chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee of the Honse
of Representatives, has been near death's
door, but is now considered practically out
of danger. A final consultation of the three
attending physicians was held a few 4ara
since, and at its conclusion Dr. John A.
Vincent, his Illinois physician, who left
Washington for ho me the sitae night, made
the following statement :
"Last Sunday and Sunday night the con
dition of Mr. Springer was critical in the
extreme, so much so that we considered him
worse than at any time during his illness.
Since then the improvement has been steady,
till now nis condition is such that we can see
no reason why he should not go right along
to complete convalescence. Up to this hour
he has heid everything gained. Pulse and
temparature are normal. That distressing
cough has left him. The erysipelas has al
most entirely disappeared from his fac?. His
appetite is fairly good. The delirium and
coma have been entirely overcome.
"But his prostration is so complete that he
ean >ciroely speak above a whisper . The
building up process must necessarily be slow,
but with the excellent ninain^ and skillful
treatment of Drs. i urtis aud Verdi, recovery
now seems assured."
DR. BAKER ACQUITTED.
He Was Tried Twice for th? Alleg*
ed Murder of His Wife
Abi.ngdon*, Va. ? Dr. John A. P. Ba
ker, who was charged with poisoning bis
?wife, andjconvioted last August of mur
der in the tirst degree, was acquitted after
a second trial. The large audio ce in
the" court room received the verdict with
loud cheers
Dr. Baker and Mrs. W. R. Gilmer
were arrested last May for the murder of
Mrs. Maker and an attempt to murder
Mrs. Gilmer's husband. 1 he two fami
lies lived on adjoiuing f -rms and were
very friendly. iftmors of improper inti
macy between the doctor and Mrs. Gil
mer were followed by their confessions
and withdrawal from the church to which
they belonged. Mr. Gilmer forgave bis
?wife, for their their childrens' sake, and
consented to live with her .
Af cr her arrest Mrs. Gilmer confessed
thai Dr. Baker poisoned his wife by giv
ing her sm.ill doses of strychnine and
phosphoric acid, on the pretense of build
ing up her nervous system, and that she
agreed t<? get rid of her husband bv ad
ministering noisons which the doctor was
.to prescribe as medicine. She said, how
ever, that shi weakened and failed to
carry out her share of the compact This
story she r. peated before the Grand
Jury and on the witness stand at the first
trial.
.Br^-JJjker's defence was that the ar
senic found in Mrs. Baker's body was iu
troduced by the embalmy^g process after
her death. He denied all of Mrs. Gil
mer's statements, and after convictiou
obtained a new trial, which has just end
ed. It was claimed that letters introduc
ed against hiin were forged, and that the
animus of the prosecution was shown by
a suit for damages of $10,000 brought
against Dr. Baker by Gilmer.
Mrs. Gilmer was tried three times as
accessory to the murder of Mrs. Baker
and was acquitted last December.

A GEORGIA MAN WHO MAKES MONEY FARM
ING, AND IIOW HE DOE8 IT.
The Charleston News and Courier savs*.
Our neighbor, the Augusta Chronicle,
tells a story of one of its neighbors, "a
successful farmer." which is full of iu
struction and encouragement for farmers
in South Carolina and all the cotton
States. The successful Geotgia former
is James M. Smith, of Oglethorpe coun
ty. who started alter the war, on the red
hills near Athens, without a dollar and
now cultivates one thousand, five hun
dred acres, with a full fledged broad
guage ra'lroad running to different parts
of ,his farm, -and everything^ about in
keeping with this innovation.
The secret of Mr. Smith's success? he
is Col. Smith now ? is contained in the
few words of advice he gives his fellow
cgriculturists, "to raise everything for
man and beast at home." His barns and
smokehouses arc at home, and, whatever
may be the fluctuations of prices of bacor.
and corn, etc., in Chicago and St Louis,
he is safj and independent. Col. Smith
is a cotton farmer, like all the rest; but
only half of his farm is planted in cotton
? the other half is planted in field crops
for home consumption. This plan, CoV
Smith says, iv>llo\j:ed year by year, is "
bound to be successful "in the long ruu.
His cotton is converted into ready cash,
and with an abundance of wheat, corn!
oats and hay, as well as potatoes, peas,
cabbages, onions, etc., he feeds his wage
haud tenants, sells a considerable quanti
ty, and still hasenough to feed his work
ing stock, and his hogs and cattle which
afford him further income.
Among the details of his farming^ji
erations bst yea>-, it is mentioned, Col.
Smith raised live thousand bushels of
rust proof oats, whico he sold for seed at
fl per bushel, after saving enough for
his own and his tenants' use. The'aver
a&e yield was thirty bushels per acre.
He also raised six thousand bushels of
wheat, part of which he sold for $1.25
per bushel. The rest he ground into
flour, with which his hands and tenants
were supplied The bran was fed to his
live stock. He raised one hundred and
seventy-five hogs, which averaged one
hundred and sixty-five pounds net. He
keeps a herd of six hundred cattle,
among them being a number of legister
ed Ilolsteins. He is now fattening sixty
steers, which he will sell t?e latter part
of March; and which be thinks will Aver
age fifteen hundred pounds gross. He
milks seventy live cows, and after amp^
supplying his plantation sells quantities
of milk and butter and feeds quantities
more to the hogs. Col. Smith considers
oats and wheat "a profitable crop when
utilized as ^utilizes it. Aside from the
j value of tfe&grain, the straw and bran
| are vahtf|3& for the stock. Cotton seed
| hulls 9$X meal in proper proportion, he
j thinks';- are "the best food for cattle," so
there is no excuse for ignorance or im
providence for any cotton farmer failing
to raise cotton profitably.
Col, Smith admits that farmers in the
South are not very successful, as a rule,
but this in most cases is their own fault.
He advises them to "laiss everything for
man and beast at home," to live within
their income and abandon the credit
"system," and all-will go well. If they
raise their own supplies they may not
"handle" so much money, but they will
keep more of what they handle and be
better off in the end.
This is the testimony of a man who
plants only half a crop of cotton, aud his
made an immeuse fortune by that plan.
Farmers who are he-itutingjabout cutting
down their crops one-fifthmay learnwis
dom and gather encouragement from hi?
iuccess.

The whole assembly arose to meet them
and the galleries and floor applauded
loudly. The Governor escorted Senator
Hill to the rostrum where he took a seat
beside the Speaker.
When the assemblies had quitted Gov.
Stone arose and introduced Senator Hill
in a speech, replete with warm praise for
his services to the Democratic party while
Governor of New Y* rk.
After the applanse had subsided Sena
tor Hill spoke as fallows:
"I am deeply sen.sib'e. gentlemen of
the Legislature of Mississippi, how rare
yourbes'owal has been of the dlstiag
uishedjaonor which, with open nride,
I coSfirnere to receive at your h?nas and
to acknowledge with ] gratitude. What
statesmen of our great republic, the most
venerable, the most refiowued among the
living or the dead, in tiro flowering of
his fame would not have travelled long
for the gathering of such a leaf to bind
with all its laurels. In this new worjd,
where the people rule, shall we oot
brighten every tie ^hat links our Demo
cratic denominations, principalities and
powers in the banded sovereignty of an
imperishable union. I will trust your
white-haired Vetera* s, falniliar with pub
lic cares; I wilt trust the young man, who
for the first time tread? these halls and is
burning to hurl his [.art in the service of
the State, to know what thankfulness I
shall, ever feel, gentlemen of the Kate of
Mississippi, to have been ftfir an hour the
focus of that reciprocal f.o:>d will which
I owe to the favor and return to you on
behalf of the State of New York
There is good leason at all times for in
terchange of thought between the peo
ple of 44 States banded together for life
to insure one anothers liberty in the pur
suit of happiness. But there is excellent
reason at the present time for such inter
change between men whose political phi;,
losophv and practical politics alike are
summed up in preserving for our own
benefit, for times to come, the great'Dem
ocratic faith aneltm :ition. It was never
in such peril. Smrce ever until Novem
ber two years ago aud November next
did popular ele< tions put in issue such
-?extremtt danger, or so large deliverance.
The ground upon which Democrats of
the State of New York have their stand
is the whole Democratic faith and tradi
tion? not some corner of it merely, not i
soma splinter of it merely, but the whole. :
This is the ground upou which I would j
seethe Democrats of the State of Missis
sippi, with all Democrata north, south,
east and west, both of the regular organ
izations and ? lie Farmers' Alliance unite
and take their stand in the npproaching
contest. Other duties for another day.
For like the victory of Jefferson, th s j
union, this victory will close a chapter of
history; will doom to linal disintegration
a degrading party and will
fix the direction of your
political progress for tome decades in
the century to come. Now, as in prin
ciple, I depend for triumphs upon par
ties aud the organization of parties.
They create part es. 'It is the Demo
cratic principle which created the Dem
cratic party. Ia i s union li-s a grea'er
strength than all its enemies combined,
can ever finally subveit. It survives ev
ery disaster.
It is the great and "most efficient or
gan of the people's power^.~-The Dem
ocratic party is stronger than any man o
set of men. No ma-i is ever dispensible
^its success, for its s length i< with the
people. It is more powerful than any
class, however numerous. Therefore it
is large , tolerant, liberal, progressive.
It inv.tes to its membership, to its con- I
trol, all men who will uphold the J
Democratic faith and fmply them to the j
people's needs.
Continuing. >Ir. Hill urged a close ad
herence and stri t construction of the '
constitution of the United States, which
he said "was the standing inaivel in
the history of < ivilized men.'* The pow
ers which giants it are few an 1 specified,
and it con tut rates and centralizes these
few. After th ? century of the storm and j
stress it remains almost wholly unruplur- I
ed and Inn emeivged umimpaired from I
the torsion of our war. It is not any
legalized excursion by Congress outside
the constitution whiea explains why we
still live and move and have our l>eing
beneath its aegis. It is in spite of trans i
gression. n"t by help of them that we j
stiil live. We : ave not profited by them
we have survived them It is the old j
abridgment ;o:d the limitations of the I
functions of gov<.rnm-ut to its o*n I
proper business despite t; msgies-ion'-; it ;
is the elistribut on and devotion of its
powers, despite usurpations, it is the |
prohibition of State jicwess; it is the j
declaration of State lights: it is the r. s
nvation aud surr. nder < f the residue to
the states respectively of the people,
which we have truly lived and sfttf bear
our life; it is individual freedom, not a
government rule, which explains our
swift expansion from a fringe of thirteen
' feeble colonies to a continent of mighty
states. It is individual freedom, t ot
Republican force bills, not congressional
leading strings, that will enable you. the
strong and high'v civilized race to
guide forward your less gifted fellow
citizen from the plane of equality before
the law the jiigher level of thrift, econo
my, good husbandry, social order, 9clf
imposed antfavUBehold virtue and thus
transform th^ present difficulties and un
shared burdens of the South in the solid
foundation of still more prosperous and
more powerful States. * It must be ad
mitted that for a few brief years our con
stitution did not perfectly avail to insure
domestic tranquility. That was in the
last generation, and broken hearts must
be healed by time or death, and one or
two more generations must pass away.
In doubling and redoubling your in
" ' 1 - I
credible achievement joi the pa*t 20
year* your magnificent progress in the
productions of the fieljt larpr, 'forest and
mines, before it becomes palpable that
war, with its devastations, its passions,
its griefs may not, perhaps, have all been
too high a price to pay for transmitting
an insoluble political problem, We
must live up to that constitution. New
York should standi bv; Mississippi and
Mississippi by New York in??its support.
Every trouble, every disturbance that
exists, every disaster that impends, *and
every danger that is feared, throughout
our whole land, not merely in some part
of it, is the direct and obvious conse
quence of Republican legislation in disre
gard of the spirit of the letter <>f our
constitution. Nat for one hour during
the last thirty years has tha Democratic
party possessed, nor does it now possess,
the power to repeal or amend those laws,
the fount and origin of every present
disturbance to the general peace and!
prosperity. i _ ;
A little while the Democratic party had i
the Senate; a little whilie the executive; fot
longer periods ihe House of Representa
tives but not for a moment daring 3i0 years
has it had all three, 'so that all the evil
producing laws hav$ been absolutely
^beyond our reach and went; on operate

Says a Richmond Daily.
A significant indication of the changes
in the ideas and sentiments of the people
of the South, aud in the material condi
tion of things throughout the Southern
States, is cou'ained in the incidental re
mark of a Richmond newspapfcr-ihat.
"Many hundred joung ladies are employ
ed in the various factories of Richmond,
and the number is daily growing. V Many
Northern people still hold firmly to the
belief that the woman who works lor her
living in the South is looked down upon
and slighted, and that working girls and
women are at a great social disadvant
age there. That may have been the case
at one time, but it i3 not so now. The
item notes the refusal of a license to a
barroom in the neighborhood of one of
the factories where the women are em
ployed, for the reason that the city was
determined to see that the environments,
of the women were '"such as they hare'a
right to expect.'' Auother interesting
item is that statistics show that the South
now has 1,200,009 more spindles than it
had eleven years ago.
A Novel Idea.
Here is a suggestion fjrthe representa

to one of the old Nis<en (prairie schooner)
wagons. This wagon is to be loaded
with gilt gold bags, each representing in
bulk the amount produced at the respec
tive mines in the State, each mine con
tributing the cost in proportion as attot
ted by our commissioner of agriculture,
Hon. John Robinson.*
