Tno building of houties for rent is I also urged by many of our brethren ofi the press as an excellent investment for j capitalists. i The houses when built are no doubt in i a limited way, a public benefit, inasmuch i ?s cdieap rents insures cheaper services j tiiiil cheaper board, than emihl be other- j w ise obtained if rents were higher. % ! ?'-J- '" ? .a iiL-i. i the builder of cotton mills, or the found- i **r of a bank, i; a public benefactor. 15nt the groat question is, do such enterprise pay a fair return to those who may pni thw-ir money into them ?

Wo will speak fust: j As to Factories?The history of overy cotton factory built in the South before | t he war proves that in no single instance, f (iidsui'h enterprises pay a reasonable pori cent, on the cost of construction. I?nt! f;inco the war, 111 consequence of the pro-! tective tariff levied on foreign goods by i the United States Government, and also: in consequence of the State aid which is granted for ten years, to these establishBnents in direct violation of the letter and spirit of the organic law of the commonwealth, those institutions arc enabled to announce such startling dividends as toj induce other people to inve-t in similar I enterprises. When we remember that j the United States Government may at nry moment remove the embargo on the imp u tation of foreign good."?, and when it is almost certain that the General AsBombly of South Carolina will at nodisI f-mf .hiv-imnirn eotton mills to nav their!

A* to Bn-ika -The ab>urditv of organi-1 zing R bank with a capital of at a J railroad tank, is so apparent that there isj \ery litllo danger of capitalists ventur-j ing on sw> frail a burquo in a sea which j threatens certain destruction.

Sometimes we fear that the j newspapers who urge the establishment; of banks do not give the matter much i thought, but nprn an anneal to thoir patriotism or public spirit, too readily fall j into line, and advocate an entorpri.se which can d<? but little good, except that of giving the officers a go;>J situation. Ax to the Ditildivg of Ifotixex?There isi an old saying that "fools build houses and j wise men live in them."' Asa statement; -of fact, wo venture the assertion that I j,. ithere i* not a dwelling house in any town [ In the State of South Carolina that could I bo sold f'tr t!m cost of buildini?. and wo will furlhor venture to suggest, that there! is not one of tlic*-o Iwellings which pays] three per cent. pn>lit on the cost of eon-1 ftrnction, after the proper allowances are made. We will suppose that a four-room cottage is to lie built <>n ;i S20!? lot, at a coat of $SGO. To tliis :t(M the cost of outhouses, fences, well, ??< . Such a place in I the avarage village could not possibly bej rented for more than S100?making ten j per cent, on the house and lot, with out- i houses, well, an*l fences thrown in fori p>od measure. This property would i then he subject to discount, as follows: i State Taxi-s, say ?10.00 I Toy. u Taxes, 2.00 \ llepairs *on house, outhouses nnil fr'-w 5.YOO ! insurance O.CO j One year in six vacant 1(5.00 j One year in ten for failure to collect rent 10.00 ! ?'"?.0G j Leaving an exceeding email profit ok | an investment of $1,200 or with the I >5? * ... further laet staring the investor in the; lace that lii.s property, even if he could ! find a purchaser, would not sell for morel ii' /* than sixty per cent, of the original cost. We believe there is not a house in anv of! / * I mir towns, which would sell for its cost, while the great mass of th-m would not feoll lor nioro than fifty or sixty per cent, j />f that sum. As a matter of fact, we believe it can 'l>e proved beyond the shadow of a doubt 1hat the building of a house lbr rent is ncicr a very profitable one. KJ". We believe that the proper cultivation of our soil is the all-important interest of s? f this country. Very few of our people Lave money to put into factories, I auks, or houses, but nearly all of them muscle, or unutilized resources, which could be directed to the opening of ditches, the clearing of low-lands, and the lowering of the beds of the streams, go that thousands of acres of our best lands mav be re-claimed, and t)htnt?d in corn. We need improved agricultural implements. We need to produce all the needed supBfe,. plies on our farms, and wo need to arrange our alhiirs so tlmt Ve may pay cash fur whatever wo may ho compelled to buy. Wc need to learn the value of time. We havo been impressed with the great Ioms, which is sustained in this way. Within tho past month, we have known one man to lay down his agricultural implements, twice to lose each time ? whole day to go to preaching. Another time he lost a half day to go to town to buy fifty cents worth of tohaceo. Another time within that space, he lost half day to get his liorsb sliod. Twice ho l ist a whole day to go to mill. Twice a half day was Jost going to the store for goods. Wo hazard nothing in saying that if jmv man doing business in Abbeville vilw - htge, should squander his time in this way, that it would be only a question of time as to when the Sheriff would settle f his business. * When our people learn to make their farms self-sustaining, it will then be time i ' to talk of factories, banks, and houses. [ It is idle for us. as a people, to talk about manufacturing as long as wo have to go j to tho stores every week to draw rations. J When wo learn to make corn, then we | will have money, when we may talK of [ factories, banks and houses. P;;. Full particulars of tho lynching of ' Mr. William H.

Tho ease j was carried up for the ptlrposo of testing j this question. Thedfld.-iim will be koked for with interest. ! The above is from tIio Xcwbc.r j Observer. Of course wc know not what tho decision of the Supreme Court will b.i, hut we k:> >w perfectly wall what wej think it ought to he, and what it tyill be ?.'j no ilist'iut We have held for years that the law, an I the decisions of ourj Courts in reference to the obstructing of j the railroads by livestock has been radically wrong. As wo understand it, therailroads are chartered corporations, and are by law protected in the right of way over their traeksat any time. This right of way is granto I to the corporaLi >n in solemn form, either by the owner of tho J land, or in case of his refusal to grant it th? corporation is, bv the laws of the St.de, I authorized to condemn the property, to! pay for it, an 1 to take it. If this is true, I then the right of way is legally secured to the corporation, and it is trespass for either man or beast to j?o upon the road bed, and we hold that there is tho merest, shade of difference to tho company; whether the citizen by willful act places a [ log across the road, or by willful wfjlitjcncc | allows his ox to obstruct the train, to break ! the company's engines and cars, and to kill lh''ir employers as well as to endanger tlie lives of passengers. In our huinbio judgment, stock law or no stock law?as we cannot sec what that 1 iw ha* to il? with t lie qneslion?we eon- 1 tend that tho railroads should be protected in their lentilv acquired ri'ght of way. And instead of being made to piv for!1 I the stock which throws their ears from , tho track, the owners of such live stock ' should he indicted on the criminal side of ii the court lor obstructing tho road, and, should be further subject to civil suit fori whatever damage may result to lifo or h property by such act. And if any citizen j should en-lose any part of tho road bed j, in his pasturs, such act should be deemed i a crime, and ho should lie indicted for a;: covert and willful effort to endanger tho i lives of the travelling public. Should | the HaWrwl.Coninany consent or connive j it such an act, either by neglect to forbid I tho same, ir by tho erection of cattle j! guards, then the company should be in-!, dieted as aiders and debetters of what! might be properly termed a malicious j effort to obstruct their own right of wayj whereby the lives of their passengers arcji endangered. The travelling public are,' entitled to protection, and any man who puts his ox on the track should suffer as, uiougn lie nan pin ii cr??p?*ww >' ! iuc 11 en j It matters little to tho passenger whether ' he is killed by an ox or by a cross-tie. i Approved Claims. The Columbia correspondent of thol XeivsaHil Courier in lib let cr of tho 14th j, says : "The County Commissioners to-daydis-; i allowed the claims of tho Auditor audi' Chairman of the Commissioners for per j J dicir. iii assisting the Jury Commissioner in making up tho jury lists as without < provision of law. These claims have 1)3011 paid here and in other Counties for the last ten or fifteen years." The Richland County Commissioners!j are carrying their ideas of economy and i reform to a ridiculous extent. There is a j ( rood deal of that kind of economy in j i South Carolina?chiseling public officers! i out of their rightful pay for services, l'orj1 the sake of "saving" a few dollars while very lavish appropriations are made for purposes that the peoplo at large are not interested in and from which \ they derive no benefit. It is the old plan | of "wasting at the bung and sating at. tiie spigot." The Chairman of the Board of County J Commissioners and the Auditor are. we believe, entitled by law for pay while! a<-ting as members of tlie Jury Oomniis-j sion. A Circuit Judge decided at New- ' 1 *..... .......... rl.ot f!w> f'li-ii rmml ?>t\ the Board of Comity Commissioners vvas> | Thfc above timely remarks are bv the j Xcwbcrry Obxerccr. Therfc aro other er- j roin to which oar contemporary mi^htj h ive referred. Some of tlio officers, in Mome of thf? cc unties, on thogrmm.l of "economy" have refused t<> publish their annual statements as roquirod by law.) whereby the correctness of their own of- J ticial acts may be vindicated and proved.) And tlio County Commissioners of Now- j berry have recently acted in a very strange j way about t h*?ir olli -ial notices. We take it f.?r granted that the tax-pavers of Newberry County are fully able and perfectly j willing to pay a fair prich for whatever' official notices the County Commissioners; are required by law to make. It .seems j to us, that each of the editors in that town j.honld hare be?*r, wiliiu^ to snare the. pay for advertising. Tlio readers of each | i journal are entitled to see tho offiuial [ notices, and if the editors had required the ('utility Commissioners topay tho regular prico for advertising in one paper, and j then divided it between themselves nobody would have had reason to complain. Tiiero is another matter eonne.'ted with the approval of accounts against tho county, and in which, fo?* fair dealing,! ! wo bolicvu the County Commissioners at Abbeville will bear off the palm. They i are sworn officers, and under that oath, ! for the last few years they have known j nobody, not even tho "poor tax-payer,'? , lint have discharged their duty faithfully* When they examine an account they cor-' rrvt even/ error, and tako n > ad vantage of < any citizen. If any account is made out for a smaller amount than the law allows j j for tho specified work, tho account . is raised ; if it is rnado out in ex- j cess of that amount it is reduced. Bv such a course they act honorably with j both the citizen and tho tax payer. I)o I tho County Commissioners of Newberry ; I do as well by tho citizens of that county! [ as ours do by us ? Abbeville has always i | had faithful officers, and wo believe that' J none of them havo ever tried to win popularity by a 113' effort to get something i for nothing, or by any failure to pay full. price for what the public needed. The tuxpayers of this county are honest, and i for this reason no public official would gain any laurels here by any effort to cheat the citizen out of a cent to which he j was justly entitled. Theystand upon tiie high ground that fair dealing and honest pay, is not only tlie host principle, but the best policy, and the tax-payers on their part, want nothing else than fair j dealing. Dealli of Martha Williams. Martha Williams, colored, died in Fort Pickens yesterday morning of measles. She had, as she supposed, recovered from the effects of the disease, and did a day's j ! washing, which brought on a relapse of; the disease, and tdie died in a very short time.

After crossing the ferry llutchlns expressed a desire to stop at James Ketterman's and iret' his double-barrel shotgun, but of course this i was denied him and he was driven swiftly up | the road.

When nhout four miles from town under the shed road, on tlie Hcllcvue road, a short distance beyond Cocklehurr brldire, a large number of marked men (the number helng estimated from 75 to lOni mad their appearance from Hie woods. They were tlrst noticed by llutchlns who said, "D?11 'em there they come now : give me your pistol, quick Dewing, anil let me commence killing them,'' iitid he commenced reaching for Dewing's pistol. Dewing he.d him back and Kticceded in getting his pistol out. and held it on the opposite side of him. outside the hack. In the toxittliiiA lnwil/ 11 at I Dl/inri.iil inil llio crowd hail their pistols a d (runs leveled. Chief Au-tln. who had di>?m"nnted. quickly stepped to the <lonr of tho hack between II und the crowd and told them to lower their nuns. Ilutchlns quickly passed a book conraining sonic papers to Dewings and told him 'o GIVE IT TO niS WIFE. Ilutchlns then told tlie crowd to shoot him, hut several eiied, ''No, you d?n you. we are uolng to hnng yon. and herd's the rope; you have tried to kill several of us " As qubk as thought Ilutchlns drew a spring h;ick dirk knife, with a four Inch blade, from his pocket and commenced stabbing himself rapidly in the left breast with his lefl hand, the right being still around Dewing's neek. l'hose who were standing around thought lie Intended to plunge the knife into Dewlnit. Finally Chief Au-titi and Dewing succeeded In g' ttlng the kni e away from him. and he [ifutchins< fell upon Dewing's lap, bleeding profusely, saying, "lam done for," or words U> that ell'ect. The crowd then closed In and too!: Ilutchlns bodily from the carriage and curried him toa locust 'or thorn> tree some sixty yards from the road, and laving him upon the ground proceeded to tie his hands hi hind him, lie asking them not to tie them too tight us he was nearly gon" anyhow.

Wlniblsh says, lie dl I, at the request of several bystanders. The body was then drawn up, the end of the rope being ninde fast to a tree near by, and after a few shrug* of the shoulder and legs, life was soon extinct. The legs of the unfortunate man were not tied, and tlie fact that lie did not make much movement with them led those who were witnesses to beiieve that the stabs Hutchins had Inflicted upon himself had very nearly caused death. In answer to Mjuestion about what part the Fettermnns j took in the murder Hutchins said, "I will not elvc those two men away,'" or words to that street. On the way over he intimated to Mr. Dewing he would tell him all, but lie failed to Jo so. and the secret is buried with him. JUDGE LYNCH AND IIIS WARNING. The masked men (their masks being of white and hla''k camhric with eve and mouth hole*) stood around and adopted unanimously a series of resolutions which were rend to them, ani* the following notices which will explain themselves were ordered to be posted upon the doors of the stores of James Fetterinan. The notices were posted upon the tloor* named yesterday morning and were copied verbatim by our reporter: Warning.

If this were true, such yo-inu men had better j avoid the "middle ami higher circles" anil i marry elsewhere. But we know that therearo I In the so-cidlcd "higher circlcs" women who j have been p-operly reared in domestic thrift, and we thank (iol that some of the worthiest! and most prosperous of theyontisr men have' found these treasures and are widely prepar-! liKitotnake life-partnerships with them. Iti Icjust as important for the wifeof a p'ior man to Iip a good manager and sk llled In domestic aftairs. The man who marries a woman just for her comeliness and in order that siie nmy | live an Idleexistctice is perhaps the eh.irnpion Idiot of all the world. His money will bring him no happiness, and all the gold 011 earth; ctiniiot conipcnsiite him for what is lacking at the very fountain of liis career. Wc see it \ stated that "the Hritlsh girl has an ltninen*Cj advantage over tho Atnerlcan. From the' highest to tho lowest circles of society In Britain, girls are trained to make good and ; useful wives. Inasmuch as ladies preside over j the departments of their households, and Ree that everything is kept clean and the food is ! cooked, no also in the lower classes, mothers i teach their daughters to do the same for themselves, without suffering any loss of 1 dignity in the doing of It." Now, If It. tie ti n-' tlint the American girl is, as a rule, less usefully trained than her British sister, we do not wonder that young men shrink from marriage?which Is a sad alternative?or else marry at a venture and with misgiving. All such reflections lead one back toa dis-i cursIoii of the culinary art, which i? confess-; edly at a low ebb, In all sections of this Union, and only In France a national science. Xo less a person than Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, us- rities the low state of public morals to the deficiency He says: "Indigestible food Incites to crime; It is a cnuse of family Ill-temper, ami of quarrels and divorces ; It prmhi't>s poor se.*mons, vituperative and unjust editorials, and morbid literature. It clouds the discernment of the doctor; and make the legislator vote 011 the wrong suit*. If we would have better legislation In the state we must reform ihe hoarding houses The Judges on the bench must have digestible fin id. or our laws will be badly Administered. The fairness and Integrity of man, tlic beauty and amiability of woman, depend upon good cooking." He goes further and declares that the majority of people do not know whale* aid bread Is, and rarely flee a properly cioked potalo. or meat decently prepared. It Is useless, lie says tndwei' upon this fimiliar truth, and tt is sufficient to say that the public taste must be educated before it will demand good cooks. The decline in the cooklnsr art. at the East Is attributed to the employment of raw material from abroad. We ail know at the Soutn what Is the fruitful cause of trouble ho". The old negro cooks tire passing away and the new regime of matrons cmnot apparently te-ich their servants as their mothers did before them. The Connecticut Senator is also of opinion that cooking reform Is more essential and more Imperatively demanded thon reform of the civil service, and i hat there can be no remedy without training schools of the right sort, plus the home education of young Slris. who are certainly no better than the anghters of Queen Victoria. Moauwliile the I,ord have mercy on any young man who marries a irirl that boasts of not knowing anything of cooklnir and Htieh tilings Had as a single life niny be, tt double one of that Is Infinitely vorse. The Other Side. We have been expecting to hear from some oftl e gcntlersex thelrsido of the controversy as 10 domestic virtues or failngs. At home there has been no sign of a reply. Abroad lite case Is quite the reverse. A Connecticut girl, in the Hurl ford Tim rs. takes up the cudgel f- r her sex. She think* something should e said In the papers In the way of /idvising young men bow to become acceptable husbands. she repudiates the ld"-a that 'no woman should be eligible for marriage until she Is a good cook." We quote her remarks on this subject in full: Is the reward of marriage, which In avast number of cases proves to tie a wretched farce, such a boon to woman thntin order to gain It she must Immol ite herself In a cookstove? According to these lordly oracles, who are so fond of settilnu the "sphere" of woman, she must know tiow to wash. Iron, sweep. (lust, num. ineno una ne L'ericriu iivcisi-tr m the house. be-Id--* bringing up the children correctly; she must also have the meals wellcooked. and always on time, the baby and herself neat, iresh and cheerful, she mtm account for every penny of the small amount of money she has lo spend, and no mutter how many Utile vexations and trials she h is tmine nil day, she must not even have the prlveleneof feel Inn elum about It. Newspapers arc also constantly tel lnir woman thai stie must "fly" to ureet her husband when sue hears his footsteps In the hail, arrayed In a dainty dress, with a rose rose In her hair and a smllo on her Hps. Woman Is ordered to smile whether she feels like It or not, even If her husband Is cross, uncompanioable Hud unsympathlzlnir, as a selfl-h t nture often makes him. To be sure, a knowledge ol' cooking Is an essential element of irood housekeeping; smiles are pleasanter than frown*; and this constant advice by newspaper scribes and mnuazlne writers would answer vety well If It was occasionally elwn to husbands as well as to the wives. That perpetual smile of ye ancient paragraph Is centuries old. Not withstanding Its antiquity it Is handed around through pulpit and pre^s until srir-respectlnt; men and women are nauseated with It. Sin-h one sided advice is not. calculated to produce smll>-s to order. Women must smile, woman muM cook, other wise she Is not worthy of the noble privilege of having the title "Mrs." eneraved upon her tombstone and vlsiiinir cards. I<adles, those of you are humbly grateful to accept the patronizing Invitation of one of these cooklnc hobby men to become his "household anirel" (which properly truusl ited more often means household drud'.'e), and whose highest Idea of marriage Is "witties," drop all your Ideas, your gifts, graces ard education, and turn your attention to the cultivation of smiles and buehwheat enkes. Now this is splc.v readins, and the woman who complains ha* much pluck and a deal of Justice on her side. If marrlape prove a wretched rarce In any case. It Is not because the female part> to the contract did or did not how to cook, but because It wa? entered Into without proper motive-or sympathies Klther the l?evll presided at the nuptials or el?e was permitted to enter the sanctuary afterward. '.Ml IVIICII UN 1? ~1U<I IIIC UlUIII'Cn IIUI'I uivnare perhaps better when I lie women lias the executive talent of housekeeping whether she becomes a drudge or not. No mnn who loves nls wife will desire lo make a slave of her. No woman who loves her husband will consider nn whihI share of the burden tiie si mil for hatred and complaint. We ncree with Hie Connecticut women Unit a wholesome itirl Iiiik the right to expect a wholesome husband. If any. Hut It happens unfortunately, by some stranire perversity, that tlie best women do not always fancy the best men, and that the heart only loo frequently deceives the head. When reason resumes away the affections. If betrayed, revolt. Then matyrdom or sepcratlon may result. To red em ourselves a? much as possible from the Imputation of being one-Kliled In this Important matter, we ln?ist that young men who expect to marry estimable. Industrious.intelligent and worthy women shall tit themselves to bo such linsI amis as these women have the ri'.'ht. to !ook for. We must not, however, be accused of the laying down as a maxim thai till women should necessarily marry. On the contrary, there are not a few o ho will be a 1 the happier for Miiiilc-hiesxeilness. provided ttiey have an art or a mission to fill their time and occupy their ambition. We see it stated that there are in Massachusetts 'V51.1">8 women who are not married, hut whoresent the Imputation of in inn .superfluous. some of these spinsters support men who ought to h"lp support them ; but we agree u lilt the Hnston (ilobr that "when a man abdicates, through original Incapacity or ae,.l .?(ni?co.,.ou I,It: Ht.lit to #!<? m^n'H Illllr.1 ... ?? work and marries a smart vvnrnnn for I ho sake; of a home, he should be compelled to discard forked attl'enud swaddle himself npnruprlal? ly In petticoats." We also agree with the! same authority ti nt "a man who would Inveigle one of them into mrtrlmony In order to shirk hisnatitrai responsibility should he left lo submit upon micli nut' iment. hm he may he able to derive by sucking I lie head of a ba'nb(K) cane." A Boston woman shows in i a letter to the editor how It may he possible for a siuKrt woman to reverse ordinary rules between husband and wife, a year retain I happiness. She says: I am a milliter, and I have made between ! one thousand five hundred dolii.rs and two: thousand dollars ami yet in my business for, some time past. I marrhd tour years ago.] My hushand Is kind and good looking, hut he | never learned any trade, had no profession, j and could not average five hundred dollars a. i year. I loved him, however, but I saw that It | would not do to depend upon him, so I kept j tin with my hu-iness. After a time I think he got u little lazy, and as we were both away during the day could 1 not keep house, anil got sick of boarding. Finally 1 proposed that licshould kocep house and I would run the business and lind the ' money. We have now lived very happily In! this way for two years. My husband gets up [ and build* the tire, gets breakfast, and I leave j at 7:1*1 for my place of business. He does tne washing and Ironing, the cleaning,and I do j not know of any woman who beat iiiin. He I Is as neat as wax and euu cook equal lo any] one In town. I may lie an lnsolatcd case, but I think the| time has now come when women who have j husbands to support should make them work; . otherwise tncy are luxuries we must do with- ' out. I'lcase print this for the benefit of my sex. In the aboveca <e, me wmnan Is the superior of the man. The sexes have been aeeiuently, mixed. Tile mas -line character of the wife has fount* its fitting mate In the feminine in-' dlvidua.it}' of (lie husband. Meanly as we may, at first blush, think of that kind of man, [ he Is much more entitled to respect than the dude or loafer who permits the woman to do all the work and earn all the money. And yet there are many women w ho have such i husbands and love them too! It lsa monstrous paradox, but since tne flood, no sage has arisen who could read the riddle of a Woman's! heart. It Is a grand thing when two beings form a ll'o-partnersbip who are fitted for one another, hi all es?ptiila|s. mid who neareaoli other's burdens wllli cln-prfuinO'S, fidelity and courage.

The house is what we in 'he North would c;i 11 a story and a halt* cottage in height, and it faces the gulf. Around it isa famous grove of onlts and otlier woods, and from here and there a tree, the long gray moss han^s down and swings In the breeze In Its weird ami dreamy way. Nature has done much to beautify tlie grounds, and they are kept in a neat and tidy Condition. The hous" Is roomy, finely furnished and, while there no osientious display, there is a homelike a< .osphere and a look of eo?v comfort. One can see refinement ami taste every where, and none of the home comforts are sac.rltided. From the veranda one ean look out upon the tireless white-caps roiling In upon the sandy beach, and the neighbors are all that the word Impliestub ex-pkkmident. I had only n moment to wait before the exPresident came in and gave niea hearty graso of the hand and words of welcome. Tali, almost snow white hairand whiskers, blue eves, face wrinkling with a^e, voice as sofi and kind as a mother's?such was the picture of the niHti who tor four years held the distlnles of a continent in his Iron grip. In the zenith of his power he may have appeared haughty Hnd Imperious to some, but not to the generality. A kinder face 1 have never met, anil though there is something In the voice to warn one that Its owner has held place and power, one is soon charmed with its kindness and touch of pathos. Mr. Davis is seventy-three years of age. and his health Is not of the best. It Is evident, that his life of vicissitude Is drawing to a close, and aa one realizes it lie cannot but admire the physical and mental machinury which has stood the strain of so much labor. Many a man of equal age had laid dowr. his burdens of public life when Mr. Davis assumed his greatest, lie has been a man without rest until within the Inst few jears.

"It Is a grand and progressive country." he said, "and the better the people understand ? acli other the better for our future as a country." He asked me regarding the senlltnent of the North, and I believe 1 answered truly when I told him that rancor and bitterness had died out of the hearts of all hut demagogues and malevolent politicians. "That li right," ho replied, "and I trust that no untoward event will sever the growing cordial relations." ABOUT WAR. By and by we drifted into the subject of war. It was Mr. Davis who save (iereral Meridian his first upward steps, and it was Mr. Davis win appointed fJeneral Meade to the Lake Survey, and was sharply erllielsed for his selection. Ho believed thut McClellau's campaign against Hlchmotid, had he been permuted toearry limit <t? planned, and received tiie hearty support ot the War Department, must have resulted disastrously to the t'onl'ider ?ti s. "1 knew Mc-lellan, Meade, Huniprey and nearly all the Federal Generals," said Mr Davis, ' and many of them wer<* my proteges. Although they were fighting m> armies, I could not re>lst a feeling of prld<* In seeing so many of the young men I had helped advance winning fame and proving all that had been predicted."' I sked nlm to name the best Federal General and he replied : "There Were two-Mc' lellan and Mea lc. Met lellan was a grand engineer and a ureal General; Meade was a steady fighter, and his movement were more ot an enigma to Lee thuu those of any other Federal General." OI.D ACQUAINTANCES. A* ire talked of this and that the names of; aenerals. statesmen, governors and gove'tiinerii otflrlHlH came up. and many of them proved to be old ac<ju ilntanccs of Sir Davis, j In years agone lit* and lien Butler wers on the best social term*, and il wa< thes-inr' with several other present governors of Northern stales, and with various general* who won their laurel" In war. The ex -President had a kind word and a good wish for each unit every one, and he seemed to relieve that those who had made their mark were entirely deserving of their success. HIS CAPTUItK. In the State Library at Jackson, Miss , Is a a crayon portrait of .Mr. Davis as he appeared when captured. I usked him If It was correct, ami he replied : "I v ill tell you exactly how It nil occurred. I had lain down without removing a garment. I hail high cavalry hoots, pantaloons tucked Into the tops, a gray blouse and a ?oft hat. Upon the alarm heln; given I stepped out of the tent and saw a Federal cavalryman thirty or forty feet away. He ordered me to halt. At the same moment Mr*. Davis threw over my shoulders a folded shawl. I saw that, my only chance of escape was to secure the horse of the Federal. I advanced straight upon him, feeling that he would tire at me, hut believlng that he would miss bis target. Had this occurred there would have been a struggle for the possession ot the horse. As I approached the soldier he lowered his carbine ns If to shoot. urt at the moment Mrs Davis raised up and threw her arms around me. The soldier hesltatud a moment, turned his weapon aside, and I walked hack to the flro and slood there until made prisoner." A LUNCH. Two hours passed swiftly by as we talked, hut be'ore permitting me to depart Mr. Davis ordered a lunch and was again the host instead of the hUiorlan. < >ne who takes him by the hand unit look* Into Ills kind face muat respect him. One who sees his white hairs alio notes the evidences of old age must feel glad that his few last years are to lie full of peuceund quietness. M, Quad. Bee Cnltnre. Thnt bee keeping mny be made a valuable adjunct to the minor profit of a farm, no one, who ha* given the matter an Intelligent anil fair trial will, fern moment, doubt. Farmers who depended upon ihe old methods ol box hives and brimstone killing, have abandoned the business In disgust. Others, who have studied the nature and habits of the bee ami have kept abreast of the times by adopting the latest Improvements and using commonsense appliances, have generally been favored with success. The unanimous opinion among ihe latter class Is thut no single feature of the farm will produce more ready ea-h for so small an outlay of capital and for the labor and time required than bee culture The last ijuu'ii-i in a tuiitui y iiiv itwiucu mi nunc revolution In bee keeping; nnd ti c business of raising queens, Improving stock, multiplying colonies and marketing honey Iiuh risen to the dignity or a science. In 1*52 Mr. Langstroth patented his movable comb hive and Introduced It to the world. The value of the; Improvement is Inestimable. It has otrered ! to the diligent student the most ample means lor observation and know'edge and has brought the most useful of all the Insect race under the direct control and uorfcct management of man. It has opened to inspection and study, the marvelous economy of the hive and contributed to a perfect acquaintance with the funcllonsof Its threcdlstlnct clianicters of inhabitants, the cpio'-n or tm.tlier bee, the worker or undeveloped female, and the drone or perfect male. That which hud been previously inexplicable became plain. That] which had been difficult was now easy. Causes of trouble were anticipated and prevented: and all the mysteries of a once lntilente subject became simplcand comprehensible, when 'it was once discovered that they were governed by natural laws, which an ordinary tnlnd could graspand average skill could apply. By means of the movable frame, the bee keeper gained access to every part of the hive. All j the operations of the colony were carried on! before ills ey<s and under his Inspection "I'd control; and be was thus cnaMed to become the master in place ol being the dependent. | The business is now so plain that any one with a reasonable degree of enterprise and system, who will make himself acquainted with fads and who will read some good bee Journal, to Inform himself ol what others arc doing.may make a sucees-fnl beekeeper. The work. In a limited measure, is adapted to the capacity ol any pers >11 with a love for nature, having a little garden space and who needs change of thought from business or icei eat Ion from physical labor. To such persons, noihInu can secure greater delight than the contemplation, study and manipulation of a colony of bees, with their indomitable energy, their uutlaguiug Industry, Iheir skillful mcchai'lsm and their wonderful Instincts,1 The work is also adapted to young people and to ladies who-di?ire to combine tli v cmion with profit. It Is pariIcularly appropriate to' trie fanner, whose broad fields niul li.v-iaws afford abundant pasture with Inexhaustible stores of sweeps.

Doctor lug Live Stock. Southern Cultivator. There was a time when It was difficult to secure the services of a good veterinary surgeon. But of late years the country has been I well supplied with tlic*e useful and needed i practitioners It Is true that In some rural j districts they have no! established themselves, i yet there Is no la^-k of books on the subject of treating sick or injured live stock, anil tew ! agricultural papers rill to have attached to | their columns a "Veterinary Pepartinent." ! It Is not neees-ary therefore, to cull upon ' quack "boss d'M-tors," or Inexperienced and I unsafe advertisers when live stock needs i trcaiment. Intelligent counsel and osslstance can he (mind In almost any neighborhood. Half of the people sa\s a correspondent of the Ohio Frirtncr, consider themselves fully capable of prescribing for every III lhat the flesh of beiiat Is heir to; and Just In proportion lo the littleness of their knowledge of oilier subjects, their own estimation of their abilities a "hoss and cow doctors" rises. Men who have no more idea of what anatomy Is ihan a mule has of revealed rellclon, and who would Imagine physiology some new tangled remedy for ' hoss colic," are certain that by surveying a sick animal with one eye closed they can locate Its disea-o without a single failure. These people kill more animals than (hey cure. It Ih simply nwiul io seriously consider some nf the doses they forcc down tne throats of helpless I.rates 1/ the patient were perfectly heallhv to start with. In Imlf ihe cases the treatment would muse death In twentyfour hours. It Is a wonder llmt people wl II allow sush disgusting medicine to l>e adinlnis. terod. They assuredly cannot fall to perceive that, such concoctions must work more harm than good. When a domestic animal In taken sick they seem to hold adieu to Aense and Intelligence and place tholr whole trust In some nuack?the more Ignorant the better. They do not know anything about the brute anatomy. have no Idea wluiloruans are affected or how they are allected, nor have they the remotest Inkling ol the proper remedies. Half lire willing ai d honest enough to admit their Ignornnce. hut the other hull hide their Ignorance by the assumption of superior and transcendent wisdom. The first half, in.-tend of availing themselves of the set vices of >ome good veterinary surgeon, call cn the second half to prescribe for their animals The concoctions administered ao appalling, strong syrup of tobacco, lye by the quart carbolic arid, turpentine liy the pint, etc., are given 10 horses for colic. Their bellies are rubbed with a ehesnut rail ; a peek of salt Is placed on the Miilmal'H rump and dissolved with cold water. The minimal Is trotted hack and forih over a twenty acre field. While It lies on its side its bellv Is kneaded with a number ten boot. If It flies, as It is very apt to do, the doctor Is not to blnuie, for colic Is lia'd to cure. If It gets well the doctor gets great credit for he haw effected a wonderi'ul cure. The doses administered forthe colic In horses are equaled or exceeded by the mixtures jiiven for other diseases or to oilier beasts. All milliner of animals are hied and blistered without mercy. They me slveii poisons and exposed to numberless barbarities. There is very 111tie oxcusc for this, because in almost every case a competent doctor of veterinary medicine can tie had. If the Intc'ilgont treatment of slek brutes were an Impossibility, liirnlnir iiiein over 10 me ien er tticrcle* ot Ignorant ?|Hacks could lie wlnke<l nt. I'ut In this aze of Intelligence, when vetottinry medicines I" a we 1 doveloped sclenc<\ and practiced l?y men who reflect honor upon ihelr calling. peojle who I will preset In employing egotistical as^es to prescribe for brut< h, deserve to sustain those j frequent losses nf animals that follow such I trea'ment, and In addition public censure for their parsimonious cruelty. This oft'11 proceeds f'om unmitigated ?tlm:liick-j. The well qualified doctor probably charues ?omethlmr for Ills K-rvlceM, and rather than pay It some mortn'H will cause brutes to suffer untold misery and run the r^k of their dylntr, nutotten I think, 1' 'Rises unfouudc 1 doubts of the value and efficacy of ihe science o| veterinary medicine. Thev do not be'leve that profe>sloual "horse doctors" really know anything; th> y believe they a-e quacks mid humbugs. To tell people that they ore misj taken will not convince them. The trouble Is that in this, a* In rell-lon, they inus" lentil [themselves They ennnot know whether or , not. there Is anything In veterinary practice I until they have employed ft competent physlj elan. If Ihey would do so they would probI ably b? convinced thai such men are not professional humbugs.

The Albany New* has been furnished wilh the following valuable in format ion by Mr. W. T. It. Tall, y, the pioneer of the watermelon Industry In Lowndes county. (?a.: .Mr. Tallev is a strong advocate of the watermelon,and has experimented with it In more ways tli n one. He says that watermelons not only afford excellent pasturage for hoirs, but that they arr a uood preventive of cholera. He ! has'never lost a hog from cholera since be has been planting melons. After all the market able melons have been gathercu he thiows tho-<? that asc left Into heaps, taking t ains to break every melon as he casts it into the heap. In a few days they begin to sour and ferment, and the hog prefer them In this i slate to any other. Kadi heap Anally becomes a mas* of sour mash, and the nogs will continue to eat It os Ion* as there Is a piece of ; rind or a seed left. Melons thrown toeelher i In this way will furnish all the mod nc-csa' ry for two months or more. In fact, tlie hoi*s wl 1 not leave them for anything else, and will fatten every day. Mr. 'fa I ley says that he is satisfied from experience that It would pay every fanner who raises liovs to plant a few aeres In watermelons for them every year. He i>astures his hogs mi the remains ol liin melon crop through the months i.f August , and September, nnd they get as fat as they {ran roll. He does not attempt to account union any known theory or scientific principle , Tor the fact that melon* are a preventative of cholera In hogs, but he mys that experience has satisfied him that the same Is a fuel, nevertheless. At one time the hogs of a nci.'h* bor ot hi*, feparated frotn his own only by a j cross fence, nearly all died with the cholera, iwhl e his never showed the slightest symp torn of the dlseoso His hoys were rtwur>-d Ion watermelons, while his neighbors were not. Finally he gave his neighbor the prhlleire ot hauling as many melons as he wanted to his hoes,and as soon as the melons were given them the deadly havoc of thceholera i ceased. Mr. Tallcy furnishes oilier Instances which seein to clearly establish the fact that I the watermelon is not only a '.'ooii fuMcnlnrr I food for hogs, but a sure preventative of cholera. -99 IudinnaN New Dog Law.
