N LOVE MAKES THE" WORLD
ROUND.
HATTIE TREMAINE TERRY.
Sometimes I'm faint and weary
.Of this work day world and life,
With its endless roand of duties,
And all its cares and strife,
So tired of unmended stockings,
Of huttons-that won't slay on,
Of answering unnumbered questions
From Harry, Dick and Tom.
Tired-of planning the dinners,
; And*furnishing brains for the cook,
With scarce au hour of quiet thought,
And never time for a book,
I marvel that wo as women,
Gave up our girlhood's life,
And look upon ns the ivorries
That fall to mother and wife,
Till I envy each single maiden
With no greater grief or care
Than the cut or fit of a diess,
Or the smoothness of her hair.
- Unt when the day s work ia over
And stilled each'wee lisping tongue,
When quiet reigns which all day long.
With childish voices has rung,
And when in the gathering twilight
I draw out the easy chair,
I fe el that this world would lie ernply
But for loved ones that are there; "
/ When I think of the Jove that is mine,
Tbat ina?ftS my burdens its own,
Tm grateful for my lot in life
- That I'm. not a maideu lone.
And so the problem now is solved,
My question an answer found,
Twaa ever thu:< and e'er will be,
That love makes the world go round.

cal fuss "
The following, from the Qreenvill
Daily News, refers to Judge " Slip
pery Dick'* Carpenter, who used to
preside in Edgefield :
On Monday during the trial of J.
M. Bright for counterleiting, Alexan
der Stewait was put on the stand by
the defence to testify lo Blight's in
tellectual weakness. In bis argu
ment Assistant District Attorney Car
penter ridicule?! Mr. Stewart, who is
a "solid man" financially aud other
wise and was one of the contractors
ou the Greenville and Luirens rail
road, and made fan of his testimony.
This being reported to Mr. Stewart,
he walked into-court on yesterday
and handed Judge Carpenter an un
sealed note reading in s?bstaiice as
that
you, in snbBtauce, accuse me of ewe^
-%og a lie and havjng enough to do to"
t ike care of my own mind.
" It is true I have not been blessed
with much sense, but I have hilly as
much as yourself, and I claim to have
a better countenance.
"All I ask is for you lo say on the
street what you charged behind the
bar; then Greek m eels Greek. lean
ehow st my home as good character
for truth and veracity as you or any
other d-d radical. I have been
well rai?ed 4o abhor all auch d-d
cusses as you are."
"ALEX STEWART."
This very frank exposition of Mr.
Stewart's opinions was brought lo the
attention of Judge Bryan, who sent
ont and had Mr. Stewart brought into
conrt. That gentleman is elderly and
somewhat deaf, but he expressed him
self as sanguine of his own ability to
mash Mr. Carpenter's month, and
freely annouueed his willingness to
perform that agreeable feat if suitable
opportunity was given. He remained
obdurate under an impressive lecture
from Judge Bryan, and there was a
rather tangled discussion of the affair,
members of the bar going to Mr.
Stewart's aid and citizens being called
on to testify of thc provocation giv
en by Judge Carpenter's speech.
Judge Bryan finally decided to put
Mr. Stewart under bond of $2,000 lo
keep the peace. Mr. Stewart refused
to give it at first, declaiing that he
had not broken Hie peace and had
only defended himself, and that he
would rather go to jail than submit.
---H&AlJflat yiel 'ed to the persuasions
of friern??Tand executed the bond,
and a somewhat novel legal (or ille

What Is It?
A New Enemy Discovered to the Cot
ton Crop-The Sting of un Insect
Destroying lt.
Editors Augusta Chronicle :
The writer visited with a friend the
plantation of Mr. S. 0. Lamkin near
Harlem in Columbia county, last Sat
urday. We found Mr. L. m his field
with a countenance indicating the
deepest solicitude. We accosted him
and began to praise his crop. Mr. L.
at once said : Gentlemen get ont of
yor-r buggy and walk through the
field with me. I will show you how
deceptive appearances are. We fol
lowed him and passing through cot
ton that would easily have made a
bale to the acre, he showed us on
uearly every stalk the most frightful
ravsges of disease or insects. Nearly
evei y maturing boll was touched with
the blight and many entirely rotten.
This was uot confined to any locality
but general over the field. It appears
an if au insect had stung each boll,
and wherever the spot was seen a
yellow streak could be followed in
the centre. Mr. L. said that in a few
days theso spots enlarged am' the
boll became rotten. Samples of the
stalks were brought to, the city and
left at the Chronicle office for inspec
tion. Th? writer also gave one of
them to Mr. Cargill, to be exhibited
at tho Gotten Exchange.
This is not only to be found on Mr.
Lamkin a plantation, but on several
others in Columbi?.. It was oidy dis
co v red about a week, ago hy Mr. L.,
aud be says if it continues he will
make absolutely nothing. Upon in
quiry the writer learned that an ar
ticle appeared in an agricultural
journal in 1879, describing just such
a blight in Missis-ippi, and it was dis
covered to 1 e an insect that stings
the bolls, and decay nt once sets in.
But for snob a misfortune there ia no
doubt that Mr. Lamkin would have
made ut least a bale of cotton to the
acre on his crop, but aa it is he cannot
gat one-half of that yield.

th, reqn<?JJCS? .Your nost?! JoI_tha
to the "blight or rot" that has ap
peared on the cotton in my neighbor
hood, received to day.
*-i-4i-Qpvered thc rot on the cotton
two weeke ago; at fust I did not at
t ich much importance to it. In a
lew days it made auch rapid progresa
I aaw that if it continued until Sep
tember at the rate it was spreading I
would have very little cotton left. It
first appeared in my forward cotton,
planted early in April. It is now get
ting in the May cotton. I do not
think it ?3 spreading so rapidly LOW
in the forward cotton as when I first
discovered it. > It is now spreading
very fast in the late cotton. It has
damaged my early cotton at least 20
per cent, in two weeks. It only made
its appearance in the May cotton
three days ago ; it has not yet dam
aged it very much. You ask if it ie
general ? It ia on all tho cotton in
my neighborhood, more or less, I
know of but one crop damaged more
luau mine. Mr. Wm. Hendricks'
crop was attacked about the same
time that mine waa. Farmers who
have seeu his crop to-day think it is
damaged at least 50 per cent. I saw
a larmer from the red lands near Ap
piing to day. He Baid it had appear
ed on bia cotton, but had not yot done
any damage. Yon wish rae to give
you the cause. I think it is a small
Hy that punctures the boll ami de
posits eggs. The egga hatch very
sm di white worme that teed on the
cotton in the boll and causea the rot.
The worms cannot be se. n with the
eye until the bolls arc entirely rotten
and dry. I opened many of the first
bolla that it appeared on to-day and
found thom fille ' with email werms
not larger than a thread, about one
eighth of an inch long. I cannot find
a worm in the b. 11s recently affected
but think it is because the worm if
so smaU cannot be aecn until boll ii
rotten and almost dry.
My obaervation ia that the Hy firs
attacks the bolla that are most ex
poaedtothe sun. Tho peculiar i tie
of this rot differ from any I have eve
seen in cotton.

his cotton, that is affected, about sun

and How lt Was Negotiated.
General Grant's book, soon to be
published, will contain the following
remi?iscence8 of Leo's surrender :
"I found General Lee had been
brought io'o our linea and conducted
to a house belonging to Mr. McLean,
and was there with one of his stall'
officers waiting my arrival. The head
of his column was occupying a hill, a
portion of which was an apple or
chard,- across a little valley from the
court house. Sheridan's forces were
drawn up in line of battle on the
crest of the hill on the 60uth side of
the eame valley. Before stating what
took place between General. Lee and
myself I will give all there is of the
famous apple tree. Wars produce
many stories of fiction, some ol' which
are told until they are believed. The
war of the rebellion was fruitful in
thc same way. The story of the np
plo tiee is one of tho-e fictions with
slight foundation of fact. As I have
taid, there was an apple orchard on
the side of the hill occupied by the
Confederate forces. Running diag
onally up the hill was a wagon road,
which at one point ran very near one
of the treee, so that the wheels on
that side had cut. oil* the roots of the
tree, which made a little embankment
G.m. Babcock reported to me that
when he first met Gen. Loo he WHS
silting upon this embankment with
bis feet in the road and leaning agaiust
tho tree. It. was then that Leo was
conducted into the house where I first
met him. I had known Gen. Lee in
the old army, and had served with
him in tho Mexican war. but did not
suppose, owiug to the difference in
our ages and rank, that he would
probably remember mo, wliilo I would
remember him more distinctly because
he was chief engineer on the staff of
General Scott in the Mexican war.
When I had left the camp that morn
i og I had not expected thc result so
soon that then was taking place, and
consequently was in rough g:irb, and
I believe without a sword, as I usu
ally was, when on horseback^ on the
field, wearing a eoldier's bhjuse- for a
coat, with shoulijpjMrt8 RJY rai1^

Gen. Lee. Wc greeted each other,
and alter shaking hands took our
seat?. What his feelings were Ido
not know. Being a man of much
dignity, and with an impenetrable lace,
it was impossible to say whether he
felt inwardly glad that the end had
finally come, or whether he felt sadly
over the result and w is too manly to
show it. Whatever his feelings were,
they were entirely concealed from ob
servation, but my own feelinge, which
had been quite apparent on receipt of
his letter, were sad and deposed. I
felt like anything rather than rejoic
ing at the downfall of the foe that
had fought so long mid gallantly, and
had Buffered PO much for a cause
which I believed to bc one of the
worst for which people ever fought;
and for which there was not the least
pretext. 1 do not question, however,
the sincerity of tho great mass of
those opposed to 119. Gen. Lee was
dressed in full uniform, entirely new,
and wearing a sword of considerable
value, very likely the sword that had
been presented by tho State of Vir
ginia. At all events it wan an en
tirely different sword from one that
would ordinarily be worn in the field
In my rough travelling snit, whirl
was tho uniform of a private will

trasted very strangely with a man RI
handsomely dressed, six feet high, o
faultless form. But this was not f
matter I thought of untu afterward
General Lee and I soon fell into con
vernation about old army limes. H
remarked tkut he remembered m
very well in tho old army and I tol
bim, as a maller of course, I reinem
bered him perfectly, bul owing to th
difference in years, there being abou
sixteen yeare difference in our agei
ami our rank, I thought it very likel
I had not attracted hifl attention su
ficiently to be remembered after sue
a long period. Our conversation gre
BO pleasant that I almost forgot tl
object of our meeting. General Lt
at that timo was accompanied by or
of his Btaff officern, Colonel Marshal
I had all nf my Btaff with me, a gor
portion of whom were in the roo
during the whole of the interview."

Mr. Beckford Mackey, Consul ? at

turned to Washington, brings interest
ing .accountB of the Confederate colo
ny in Brazil. It will be remembered
that immediately after the close of
the war a number of Southern fami.
lies left this country to settle in Bra

home, others are still settled in the
interior of Brazil,.and are getting on
comfortably. Mr. Mackey aays: "Mr.
Robert Burton, civil engineer, a lead
ing member of the colony, called
upon me at my consulate in Rio
Grande do Sui! in April of the pres
ent j ear. Ile says tho colony consista
of about six hundred t-oula, the males
preponderating. It ?B located ia the
province of San Paulo, or St. Paul,
about four hundred miles Southwest
of Rio de Janeiro. With the excep
tion of Rio Grand do Sui and Parana,
thia is the most Southernly province
of Brazil. Ila members, who have
lived there now nearly nineteen years,
are nearly all engaged in fanning and
manufacturing- the cultivation of
colton, collen, corn, tobacco, &c, and
the manufacture of wagons, ploughs
and other agricultural implements.
It ifl a line farming region, well wa

The members of the colony are re

[Nfishville {Tenn.) Union, A'u?}'. I.]
In.the mail of a distinguished gen

yesterday from the Hon. JeffVison
Davis, written from his homo at Beau

regard to which he had been asked,
Mr. Davis, in a quaint way, referred
to a letter which he had just received,
enclosing it. The writer is evidently
a Union man, and an applicant for
an increased pension. His letter was
addressed, "Mr. Jell' Davis, Washing

Beau vier. Tba only enclosure was
a blank ahowing that J-tmea A. Rich
ardson, ol Whitleyville .(Jackson,)

by R. M. Alexander, in accordance
with the blank furnished by Commis

appears Mr. Richaidson's letter, which
is here given li'cr?t?m clpnnctualim:

howling of dogs in my back yard. I
went-out to see what-was th ; m ?tier
My dog was in the woodshed, stai.d
ing on his hind Ipgs ia an old dry
good? box. He held down a torn a
man ac with one fore paw and g;-3'ic
ulated wildly With the other, whi'e
be swaye J his head and howled to an
audience ol four other Hogs, even
more sadly than the preacher I had
heard that morning." The narratoi
of the crow story "threw up the
sponge."

I suffered with rheumatism fer
many months, at.times unable to wft'k
or get about only on crutchon. I took
eight bottles ol' Shift's Specific, and

From Hie M Mint ailis,
Formany years I have been troubled
with a serpfnloiiH affWclion. My r?ght
leg was covered with sores fruin the
hip to the ankle-'Otne ol' them huge
and painful, running a gre.it. dual. I
tried everything I could think of or
friends could suggest. The phyisiuiane
did what they could, but brought no
permanent relief. My case wan well
known-in this community, as well as
the f.-arlui snll'-rings I endured. Lat-t
fall, at the suggestion oT a friend, I
beg*n the nae of Swift',-* Specific. It
produced a chango so apparent that
it astonished everybody, ns one nicer
after another disappeaivil, und noi e
were more anton ?shed than myself.
Six bottles produced an entire cure
My restoration is entirely due to the
use of this medici rm. It in tho best
blood purifier in the world, and will
come nearer doing what is claimed
for it than any medicine 1 have ever
tried.
