Hamptons Jjepartmcat. A SOUTHERN CASE OF WITCHCRAFT. "If the town of Salenij in Massachusetts," said Bob Billingsby, "thinks she has had the J only witches in this country, all I have to say i about it is that she is simply mistaken. Now, , there was old Brother McGraw and old Sister Ilutton?" Bob's story, in short, was thus : Old Brother McGraw and old Sister Hutton were members of Philip's Bridge Church. Brother McGraw was a consistent member, but old Sister Hutton, to say the truth, was regarded somewhat as a heathen, and even addicted to witchcraft. A calf of Brother McGraw's, of uncommon promise, dwindled in spite of uncommon pains, and finally died, and the good man, j noTMiiaflAd in his mind that, his neighbor, al- i though a spiritual sister, hacl bewitched it, set out in his wrath for her house, and, taking her by the hand, gave her a violent wrench. Sister llutton reported the case to the church, and, at the conference one Saturday, Brother McGraw, being mildly remonstrated with, went so far as to say that be would have to think about it. The moderator blandly suggested to him to withdraw for a few moments, retire into the woods, reflect and pray over the mattei. He did so. On returning, the moderator and the brethren were gratified to observe the calm regret that was visible upon his countenance. This moderator was a man of power, both as to intellect and character. It was Silas Mercer. Then this dialogue enSU0(1 * "Mr. Mercer?"Well, Brother McGraw, I see you've returned, and I think you've come to a just conclusion in the matter about which you have been reflecting." He looked inquiringly at the aged brother, and the aged brother answered his inquiring look with meek silence. "I think you feel sorry, Brother McGraw," suggested Mr. M., in a kindly, leading tone. "Yes, Bro, Moderator," answered the aged brother, "wery sorry ; I'm wery sorry." Yet there was some gruff aess in his tone which led the moderator to doubt the nature of his regret. "Brother McGraw," said he, "will you let the church know what sort of sorrow it is you feel ? Is it a godly sorrow, Brother McGraw ?" Then the aged brother lifted high his head, looked the moderator full in the face, and answered : "Bro. Moderator, I'm sorry?I'm . sorry-nr-that I didn't break her neck."?Editor's Drawer, in Harper's Magazine. Coming to the Point.?Comment is often made on the curiosity cf people in the agricultural districts, but it is only right and proper that an honest farmer who addressed by a perfect stranger should weigh the subject well before giving away valuable information. The other day a Detroiter who was engineering a horse and buggy over a muddy highway in the western part of this county met a farmer and called out: "lk) you ioiks ny wnen you ^o to town The fanner put down the rail he was lifting up, took a chew of "shorts," and advancing nearer, calmly inquired: "Want to sell that boss ?" "No." "Want to buy a mate to him ?" , "No." / "Want to trade that buggy for a wagon?" / "No." / "Buying butter to ship ?" ?'""Speculating in 'taters anv ?" "No." "Anything new in Detroit ?" "Haven't neard of anything." "Traveled very far to-day ?" "About twelve miles." "Going to the city to-night ?" "Yes, if I can get there. Now, then, do you folks out here along the line of this infernal river of mud fly when you go to town ?" The man looked around, heaved, a sigh and broke off a twig to pick his teeth before answering : "Stranger, what kind of a flying machine are you peddling, and what's your very lowest figures for cash ??Detroit Free Press. Cotton Seed Oil.?Cotton seed oil is said to be as good in every way as the imported olive oil, which is very expensive and usually adulterated. Cotton seed oil is also being substituted for lard in cooking. Much of the lard sold in stores is made up of substances that would cause the public to shudder, if they knew what they were. Cotton seed oil is infinitely more healthy and purer. It is also ascertained by those who are medical authority, that cotton seed oil is equal to the best imported olive oil in allaying the cutaneous irritation caused by the bites of ticks, redbugs, and other insects that, although they are never invited, always manage to be present at picnics, at this season of the year, and take an active part in the ceremonies. It is stated that cotton seed oil has been used in another line of business, so to speak. A traveling preacher by the name of Barnes, is performing miraculous cures in Tennessee. He cures afflicted people of pride, freckles, stiff necks, rheumatism, evil tongue, red hair, itch for office, apoplexy, and a number of other maladies of a still more serious character. The miraculous cures are performed by anointing the guilty party with oil, and cotton seed oil answers the purpose better than any other. If Barnes comes to Texas, and undertakes to 011 rn oil tKnoo anftnriDcr frnm fnr lit* wiirneed a great quantity of oil, and a rise in price may be looked for.? Texas Si/tings. "Old Si" on Politics.?One of the Fourth ward politicians tackeled the old man last night, saying :? "Uncle Si, how is you gwine to vote in dis "leckshun ?" "I ain't gwine to vote no way, 'kase I ain't been heali long 'nuff ter git nachulized yit." "Well, 'sposing dat you had de age whicher way wood yer vote ?" "I'd vote wid my mouf shet and do de job airily? dat's my han".alius !" "But w'ich ticket 'ud yer vote?dimocrat 'publican or ind'pendint ?" "I wouldn't 7ote nary wun?I'se 'er scratcher from er country wtiar de seben year itch ar' politikly epidemic?an' I votes fer men an' not fer de labil what's put on de ticket! I neber goes ter sea in er bote jess 'kase hit's got er gilt figgerhead!" "Den you don't believe in stickin' ter de nominations ?" "Yas, I does?but Is'e gin'urlly de man what makes de nominashuns on my tickit, an' de sooner dat every hones' man forms hisself in a holler squar', calls hisself ter order an' nominates his own ticket unanimously, de sooner dar'll be reform in politics an honesty in de gubment!" This doctrine seemed novel to the Fourth warder, and when last seen he was evidently deeply engrossed in the proceedings of a convention of one.?Florida Times. Not Too Thin, But Too Short.?A tramp just arrived in the Island City attracted attention by the fact that all his raiment was in tatters except his pants, which was a foot too short, perfectly new, but didn't fit anywhere. "I believe you stole those pants from some store. They don't look like they belong to you," said a policeman, looking at the garments. "You darned fool, if I had stole them I'd have picked out a pair to fit me. Ain't that the way you do when you?buy your pants?" "I believe I'll arrest you anyhow," and he was marching him off when the tramp laughed i ?:,i . it Jill NUU . "Galveston is the funniest town I've struck yet." "What do you mean by that ?" "Well, everywhere else the police arrest you if they see fit, but here they arrest you if they don't see fit," and he glanced down at his abbreviated unmentionables, which struck him just below the knee, and laughed some more. The Square Man.?The square man mezzures the same each way, an hain't got no wainnv edges, nor shaky lumber in him. He is free from knots and sap, and won't j warp. He is klear stuff, and I don't care what yu ! work him up into he won't swell and he won't shrink. He iz amungst men what good kil-dried boards are among carpeuters, he won't season j krack. It don't make any difference which side ov j him yu cum up to, he is the same bigness each j way and the only way tew git at him, enny . how, iz to face him. He knows he iz square, and never spends j enny time trieing to prove it. The square man iz one ov the best shaped men the world has ever produced, he iz one ov them kind ov chunks that kant alter tew fit a spot, but yu must alter the spot tew fit him. Joi<h BUlings.

As bereft of charms as the rosebush without its crimson roses! Desolate as the desert without its cheery restful oasis ! Free of love's sweetest fragrance as the garden without its darling flowers ! A home without a woman! As well might day be without its blazing sun, or night without its lunar and diadem of dazzling stars! Truly are they to be pitied who live in earth's isolated retreats away from woman's loving charms. Thrice blessed is he who daily basks in the sunshiny smiles of mother, wife or sister. His home should be an earthly paradise, a fit emblem of the habitation beyond the skies. Fair readers, let your hearts go out in purest sympathy for those poor, lone beings, who have net a mother's loving counsel, a wife's holy wooing, or a sister's twining affection. Their homes are upon earth's desert waste, or along the rock-bound shores. Blot woman from existence and the world would be * - 1?- ?l?A- itt 4-V? a lirrlit nf tl lO Ill muuilgllb ailLiillt'oa.

Let her name be inscribed upon the scroll of fame, and every home on earth enjoy her benighted channs. So mote it be.?Furruimj World. Intensive Farming.?By request, says the Eufuula Bulletin, we publish the following extract from a letter from Mr. Jno. II. Dent, formerly of this county, but now of Cave Spring, Ga., to Mr. B. B. Fields: "Last year I rented out my farm, except 30 acres, to a man in this neighborhood. He cultivated 110 acres, I 30 acres; I on the intensive system, he on the extensive; he ran five plows, I two, and I made more on 30 acre? than he did on 110; in fact it broke him. He had to sell all his mules and crop, which did not pay him out of debt. We both worked a splendid set of hands; all white men and boys. He paid his hands fifteen dollars per month and boarded them, and had to buy all his corn, meat and hay. I paid my hands a part of the crop, they boarded themselves, and I selling them their provisions of my own raising. Now you see the difference where one had to buy all the provisions he used and pay money wages, and the other farmed on the share system and had not to pay anything out for food supplies. My hands and mj ~olf both did well at it. So you see the results of the two systems practically demonstrated. We both had the same quality of land and the same seasons. I manured my 30 acres with manure of my own making, out of my own lot, while he bought commercial manures for his 110 acres." Health Hints to Farmers.?Pulmonary affections stand first among tlie four most common diseases of farmers, and indeed of the community at large. Two causes are assigned for this result. One is needless exposure to the wet, especially wet feet, aud another in bad posture. There is no harm in facing all kinds of weather provided one is suitably protected, but relying on his physical vigor and endurance the farmer risks the wet and cold without the wraps essential to security. The theory of hardening one so to mind neither wet nor cold is fallacious. No degree of health, strength or endurance is ever gained by getting wet through, or chilled through and through. The attempt to harden oneself in this way is a hazardous experiment. The second cause of pulmonary trouble is a stooping posture. Some work, like setting out plants, spading, hoeing, mowing and weeding, favor a cramped posture, but none of them necessitates it. Indeed, one can better bear any kind of work if he keeps his chest expanded and his lunge inflated. He can do any kind of farm work better by bending at the hip than by curving the spine and contracting the chest. The French, Swiss and German farm laborers are far more erect than American laborers. Culture of Corn.?The planting and care of corn is an occupation that but few have J achieved full success in. True it is that it is by far the largest cereal crop grown, but it is as true that better care and observance of a few "open secrets" would double the yield | without enlarging the acreage. Corn is of the i great grass family that are really ranked as . surface feeders, and when the roots are found ! at any considerable distance below the surface, . it is because they have been forced down by ' lack of sufficient fertility at the top, the very point where moisture, light, heat, and air, the great essentials, along with fertility meet, or should meet, and thus force the greatest growth. If our lands could be so rotated with crops as to prevent the growth of weeds, it is very doubtful if corn would need to exceed very limited cultivation, and that very shallow. Hie idea of the root pruning of corn is not now very largely indorsed, the roots them selves being bestfjudges of the food, amounts needed to fully develop the stalk and grain which they support. A seed bed four inches deep made very mellow and rich, will give the greatest yield of com in return for the preparations of any of the many ways of growing the crop. Salt as Fertilizer.?The Massachusetts Agricultural society has arrived at the following conclusions in regard to the manurial value of salt: That salt Las the property of hastening the maturing of all grain crops ; that wheat on salted land will ripen six to ten days earlier than on unsalted land, all other conditions being equal, that it increases the yield from twenty-five to fifty per cent.; that it stiffens the straw and prevents rust and smut ; that it checks, if it does not entirely prevent the ravages of the chinch bug, and that there is no danger of a man's pocket permitting him to put too much salt upon his land, as two barrels i>er acre will injure no grain crop. The best time to sow salt is in the spring, and it ought to be the first thing done on either fall or spring plowing, as all after stirring of the land assists in its equal distribution through the soil. The best and easiest method of sowing salt, in the absence of a machine for that purpose, is to sow it from out the rear end of a wagon, the sower using both hands while the team is moving at a slow walk. In this way thirty to forty acres can be sowed in one day. The quantity used may be from 150 to 300 pounds per acre, but the larger quantity is the better. Stained Floors.?Soft wo*d lloors treated in the following manner have given general satisfaction : Mix about equal parts of raw and burnt umber with turpentine and japan, adding a little boiled linseed oil to prevent its drying too rapidly; have the floor perfectly clean and free of grease si>ots, as they prevent the stain from drying, apply the preparation with a well-worn paint brush, rubbing it across the grain. In a few minutes, say ten, take a woolen rag and rub off all surplus color, rubbing this time with the grain. When dry, ai>ply a coat of boiled oil. This may be repeated twice a year?Spring and Fall?which is often enough under ordinary circumstances. The stain may be varied by using more or less of either color. If a dark rich color is desired, add burnt sienna. With these three colors almost any shade from oak to black walnut or mahogany may be produced.?X. Y. Tribune. Tender Feet in Horses.?A writer in an exchange says : "A most excellent treatment for tender feet in Horses is to mate a carpet for them to stand on of horse-manure and dry earth. I had a horse whose feet were bad", and after many experiments I hit upon the exact remedy, and have long kept up its use witli most excellent results. It is nothing more nor less than about two inches of dry, fibrous horse-manure with dry earth sifted over it and a layer of straw on that, till it becomes trodden down hard and smooth. Every day, and generally twice a day, the portion of it wet by the horse is removed and replaced, but most of the fioor has not been uncovered for years. The hole is filled up and patted down with a Hexamer prong hoe and a little dirt put on, and the litter at night is put over it?that's Chocolate.?To make chocolate, use one pint of milk, one pint of water, three ounces of Baker's chocolate and two ounces of sugar. Put the chocolate, which must be broken, into a saucepan, and add to it the sugar, and moisten with a little cold milk or water, and then add one pint of boiling water. Stir it over the fire until it boils, and then add the milk and stir it until it boils a second time, and then it is ready for use. JUts 0f the pegisl?t?ee. OF ELECTIONS.
