Mr. Davis and His Bail,
The Macon Jcyraph very justly
observes that the friends of 31r. Davis
liave 10 comiIplaiit to make against
the reqiuirement of bail. It was a
mere matter of form, %;as readily giv
enl withiout the slightest effort oin the
part of the prisoner, and, besides, it,
gave certa in cliracters an opportmi
ty to ventilate their love of notoriety
and :ppIiear miagnani 1m1011 after a li'
spent in doing harn to individuals
and the public. We venture tie as
sertion that iloraceGreeley never be
fore had his inme inl so respectable it
eoinection. It was a privilege of
which lie or any oif his tribe may well
be proud. On (Ie other hand, the
ide"a of ,John Minor Botts' signing his
inlimous name to any respectable
Southern gentleman's bond; we regard
as lit tIe less than sacrilege.
Mr. Davis boro two long years of
i mprih:onment, soldiers' fare, endless
Iights', manacles, the ceaseless tramp
of sold iors, and even a visit from Sena.
tor Wilson, all with commendable for
titude, but we think lie might have
been spared these last indignities in
the nmatter of the liond.

Grinding Corn for Horses.
Mr. Aditor:
I havejiust concluded a series of experi
ments in grinding corn for horso. Corr\
Zroulld into hiominy, such as we use forI the
table, will increase in bulk not less than 25
per cent, or in other words, 100 bushels
ground as above will make .126. This wau
the smallest inorcase shown during ily ex.
periuenting, several lots gaining much
more. I have been feeding six quarts corn
per head, four at night and two at dinner.
I am nlow giving th1e samlie of lomniny with
deeidvd improvement, ill faet, miy stook aro
fattening every day, especially the old oness
Where there is plenty of long Jorge, I pre
fer tile holminy to meal, for the aniual
ciews tile former, thereby bringing iuto
play the mtscles of' the jaw and mouth
lle.essary for the expision of tie requisite
ailloulit of saliva to miix with tile food ; the
latter (i. e. meal) would probably do better
where it was intended to cut forage and
mix-hlere the cut forage would furnish sub.
sistauce for action of tile jaw. I have nto
hesitation in saying that I am mavin- 25 per
cent by grinding, even uupposing that I
paid o tenthI for toll. I commend tie
above to ily fellow starlatinists of tio
South. It is alost as important as tile
"convention" question. I use a four-horse
engine and one of McCreigh t's incompara
blt -'reverse grist mills," which easily turn
out 10 hiushels per hour.

Local Items,
The Picnic, the News and "L."
Whilo prostrated with disease, a
critique upon the report made by th'
N'ews of t1 Picnic of the 3d in ant,
appeared i. this paper. A friend
called our attention to it, and wo sont
to the c 'cc for a copy of the paper
colitailning it.
We were surprised to see what an
unfair view had beei taken by "L" of
the brief report wo made of that Pic
nie.
The English language is made to
little purpose, if "L" can really say
that "persons who did not attend, will
"of course form their opinion by what
"was said, and that opinion must be
"that the whole affair was a failure,"
when we stated that "cvry thing went
o/?VeJry successfully."
We sa id uncrly all the pieces wore
"repeated ill a low tone of voice," and
wheI we -selected "One child from
"alnong so many," we m1ado 110 col)
parison at all.
We havo no apology to make for
the brief report, hecauso we gave no
offence from intentionl.
We thought the critique of "Li" no
uni-called for, tlhat we dlid not enquire
wh~o "L"s' is ; nor do we initend tionw
who it is, if we can hlelp it. *We have
made a special request of those who
hlad charge of thle ofhico during our
sickness, in whlich timoe "IL" appeared,
thlat they ill not tell us the name of
tihe correspoandenlt.
Wre did appreeiate "the0 sweetness
"anld airtlessnoess of thle chlr, but
still we did not hear whlat every one
said.
WeT hopo "IL," and all who think we
reported "the whiole affair was a fail
uire," will read again the report made
of the Pionio ini the Nmys of thle 7th
in~st. If desired, we will republish
it.
We may add that our fooble hecalth
prevented our getting a fuller report
of the whole affair..
"I am~ growing 01(d," from the pen
of Mrs. C. LAnnD, will appear in our
next.
