He Brought in the Game.?There
was a wedding in Brooklyn recently which
was attended by a crowd of people, the s<
bride beinga famous belle, the bridegroom "
a late army officer. There is a story about 0
him that was received with great effect at t<
the wedding. He was in the western q
frontier service, and one day (so the story n
goes) he went oat to hunt a bear. He had e
been away from the camp a few hours t
when his voice was heard faintly in the ^
distance exclaiming: Sl
"H-e-r-e we come!" r(
In a little time the same cry was heard
again, but nearer; then it was repeated at o
intervals, nearer and louder, when finally n
the bold Captain emerged from a bit of tl
woods near the camp, running at the top a
of his speed, without hat, cap or gun. In g
he came to camp shouting: tl
"Here we come!" f(
"Here who comes?" inquired a brother s<
officer. d
"Why, me and the game," gasped the
officer. Dointine to a big black bear which v
showed itself at the edge of the woods, took i
a long look at the camp, and then, with a Q
growl at missing his expected meal off the i>
captain, disappeared in the woods again. a
"What's the use in shootingyourgame," v
said the captain, testily, when you can a
bring it alive, as I did ?" a
The story got home before the captain c<
did, and was in everybody's mouth. The ii
other night, as the old captain led his in- o
tended bride into the cnurch, with the n
pride and grace so readily inspired by tne fi
occasion, some wicked wag sang out from ti
the gallery: n
"H-e^e we come." si
Which wasfollowed by such a shout of ji
laughter as the old church never heard be- tl

The Boston Idea op Hades.?One of ^
the best and brightest girls of the Back t]

tain famous orthodox church. Last Sun- n
day she grew very earnest, picturing to e
the eager infants who surrounded her the a
joys of heaven to be won by those who a
live4 And trust in a way to deserve them. p
"You must love tne Lord," she said,
"apd b? just as good as you know how to tj
be. You must never get into tempers, you a
must never tell naughty stories, you must et
always mind your mammas, and be good
in every way you know how, and then
you will be sure to go to heaven when you
die. Won't that be nice ?" g,

"But if you are bad," and she looked relentingly

and she took a firm grip on the doctrine rjshe
felt called on to teach, "if you are bad, n
my dear children, you will go to hell, and ^

said the alarmed woman. ti
"I don't want to see him if there is," "
was the answer. p
"Well, get up and look; I shall not let
you rest until you do." J;

under the bed. Then he threw the match j*.

FERTILITY OF SOIL.
Writing on this subject to the Massachuitts
Ploughman, a correspondent says:
It is Jo be remembered that soil is made
f dissolved rock. And this rock is found
) contain all the mineral elements reuired
by vegetation, the difference in the
atural fertility of soils being the differnce
of the rock of which the soil is formed,
'his being so, it is evident that the earth
rill continue to furnish the mineral contituents
of vegetation while soil or rock
amains.
"The other ingredients of vegetation,
xygen, hydrogen and nitrogen, are furished,
the two first from air and water,
he other?nitrogen?in a way that seems
t present to be not fully understood. It is
enerally agreed that plants do not receive
heir nitrogen directly from the air, there>re,
indirectly from air as a primary
jurce, in what way we may not fully unerstand.
m
"Air is composed of oxygen and nitroen,
the nitrogen in greatest proportion,
t is known that oxygen is readily com
lunicateaiooinersuosiances, auu is mrgef
drawn upon in combustion. As the
imposition of the air is never known to
ary, and as large quantities of nitrogen
re continually being discharged into the
ir, it is evident that nitrogen must also be
immunicated, the surplus quantities beig
constantly thrown oif to unite with
ther substances. With what substances
itrogen is thus combined may be inferred
om observation. The formation of ni ate
of potash and nitrate of soda are faliliar
examples. It is also known that
iltpetre is formed artificially by mixing
agredients to attract the nitrogen from
lie atmosphere. These facts go to show
hat the supply of nitrogen required by
Itivation is assured, requiring only the
and of man to supply the deficiency that
he growing of crops has created. And
hough a deficiency of nearly all the eleaentsof
nutrition will be occurring, it is
ncouraging tc know that by intelligence
nd industry it may always be supplied,
nd the earth rendered perennial in the
reduction of food for man."
The provisions or nature in every turecion
are evidently such, that with reasonble
care aqd seasonable labor, mankind
an enjoy her fruit9 to the full.
MONEY IN BREEDING GOOD HORSES.
The best horses in the world for light
srvice are bred in the United States; ineed,
it may be said that this country
ields a better class of horses for all work
nan does any other on the globe; but beond
all question, our road horses are sigally
superior to those of any other land,
'here is money, good, substantial money,
or that in small quantity, in breeding
orses well, with a fixed enu in view. Evry
farmer has, or may have, a good mare;
; may not be one of great intrinsic value,
uta mare of good points, well-spirited,
ood on the road, well-modeled as a dam,
dth room to carry and ability to nourish
er foal. This mare is capable of doing
ood service in breeding, equally with
lat she renders in other labors for her
wner.
The farmer's aim should be the producon
of the best foal possible, because it
jsts no more to raise a good than a poor
Dlt, and there is no economy in using a
heap or convenient stallion, when a firstlass
one, of fit blood lines and high qualif,
can be had for a little extra trouble and
little more money. Let our readers esmate
the value of care in breeding by
msideriqg the prices which good stock
rings, even when young, and the condion
of the markets in cities and large
>wns, where good, well-looking horses,
aving good action, style and substance,
Iways are in demand, and they will conude
that it pays to breed well. There is
0 use in trying to breed valuable stock,
the sire is selected at hap-hazard ; breedlg
is a science, and there can be no sure
utcorne from either its study orapplicaon,
unless the progenitor of the stock
lall have been thoroughly bred. It is
ell to use a well-bred mare, whenever
lis is possible ; but a strongly-bred sire
'ill unfailingly improve upon the most
rdinarily bred dam, will more than make
ood her deficiencies and compensate for
le investment.?American Agriculturist.
Increasing Organic Matter in the
oil.?In all well cropped soils the roots
r the crops, together with portions which
unain upon the soil, especially when grass
raised, form a gradually increasing
iiount of organic matter, which becomes
icorporated with the soil by plowing and
llage and adds greatly to the capacity of
le soil. The presence of organic matter
1 the soil increases its fertility by equalizig
the amount of water which the soil
ill retain, so it defends the plants against
rouths. It not only absorbs water like a
jonge when it rains, but in dry weather
abstracts moisture from the air which it
ields to the plant, besides it arrests and
jtains certain kinds of plant food which
tight otherwise be washed away or down
irough thesoil by rains. Again, by its
dor, it absorbs the heat of the sun and
ius warms the soil, and by its slow de>mposition,

ater, aids in dissolving and preparing
ther constituents of the soil to be taken

to be increased in soils in which it is
ot naturally too abundant in every ecoomical
way. Ilence composts consisting
irgely of such organic constituents as
raw, leaves, swamp hay, sods, weeds,
eat, swamp muck and wood mold, are to
e recommended, quickened with stable
mnure, or with wood ashes or lime, in
lace of concentrated fertilizers, which
apply only the constituents supposed to
e removed. Those articles in the form of
one dust, ashes, potash, salts, etc., may
'ell be added to any compost, and are
aus often most conveniently applied to
le soil.?American Agriculturist.
Summer Feeding for Cows.?Among
ae crops which may be used for summer
ceding, barley is one of the best, although
: does not yield as much as many others;
ats yield better and make a very excel;nt
feed both winter and summer ; rye is
ot as good, either green or dry, but it
rows very early in the spring ; in fact, is
ne of the first crops that get large enough
> cut and feed out early in May; covering,
s it does, the ground duriDg the winter,
; protects it so well that the crop draws
ut little more from the soil than it preents
from escaping, so the land after a
rop of green rye is very nearly as rich as
efore. For this reason and for the reason
f its earliness, rye is considered a desiable
green crop to grow.
Hungarian grass makes a very good crop
d cut green, but it soon passes to a state of
ipeness that reauires it to be cut and
aade into hay. When sown thick enough
:> make the straw fine, it not only makes
n excellent food while green, but, well
ried, it is rich and readily eaten at any
eason. So if a farmer has light warm
and, he will find it for his interest to sow
n acre or two of Hungarian every year,
^odder corn was formerly considered one
f the best green crops to feed out in the
ummer, but experience has proved it to
e one of the noorest. unless the corn is
ermitted to stand until the ears begin to

There are farmers who have extra
ood butter cows and do not know it.
'hey have poor pasture in summer and
0 shelter and inditferent feed in winter,
n the house they have no convenience for
naking butter; the milk is set where
here are no arrangements for keeping it
001 in summer, and in the living room,
xposed to the odors of the kitchen, in
riuter; and neither the quantity nor qualty
nor any index of wnat a cow can do,
i kept.
fiST An Illinois farmer, whose horses had
he glanders and were killed recently, died
, short time ago from blood-poisoning,
t'hich was undoubtedly caused by contact
vith the diseased animals whom'he cared
Dr. The glanders is so dangerous and
opeless a disease that when a horse is atacked
by it he should be put out of the
;ay at once. It is one of the few animal
iseases liable to be communicated to hulan
beings, and wherever it prevails it
hould be stamped out as quickly as posible.

SAVED AT THE GALLOWS. !
The story of the reprieve of a Tatnall 1
county, Ga., murderer the other day, al- 1
ready briefly told in the Enquirer, is full
of dramatic incidents. The man whose <
name is Leggett, was under sentence of
death for the murder of his wife. He was <
to have been hanged on the 13th of last ]
month. Reidville, the county seat, where <
the hanging was to have taken place, j
is twenty-four miles from the railroad. <
When, therefore, Leggett's attorney, Wil- j
liam Clifton, of Savannah, received 011 the <
Thursday before the hanging a delayed <
package from Reidville signed by doctors 1
and officials, declaring that Leggett was
undoubtedly insane, he had to act quickly
to save him from the hangman. He
telegraphed to Governor Gordon, only I
to find that the Governor was on tne train j
going to Macon. Other telegrams await- i
ed the Governor, in Macon, which he an- i
swered by ordering Leggett's reprieve. j
On Thursday morning early the order ]
respiting Leggett until June 17 was drawn <
up and signed at a private house in Ma- 1
con, the necessary blanks having been j
taken to Macon for that purpose. Then a |
telegram was first sent to the Sheriff of |
Tatnall county ordering him to suspend <
the execution, and stating that the official 1
order was on its way. The telegram to ?
Reidville was sent to Johnson's Station 1
on the Savannah, Florida and Western 1
railroad, and from there had to be taken i
by messenger about forty miles across the 1
country to its destination. As a double j
precaution Colonel Clifton was telegraph- ]
ed at Savannah to proceed to Reidsville at *
once and deliver the order in person. No <
train left Savannah before evening. Col- <
onel Clifiton answered that he would take 1
that train for Reidsville, and would get 1
there in time if such a thing were possi- 1
ble. ]
The first twenty miles of the journey <
was through the swamps and lowlands of j
Liberty county, and the remaining twen- <
ty miles in Tatnall county lay through ]
dense pine woods. Advices just received <
tell the story of the eventful ride. Armed j
with the Governor's reprieve, the lawyer's
work was only begun. Taking the <
midnight train for Walthamville, Mr. 1
Clifton reached the station about 4 A. M. ;
From there he had to cross through forty- j
four miles of swamp and sand before noon j
to save his client's neck. He secured two 1
fine horses and a light carriage and start- j
ed out at a full gallop. 1
Meanwhile the coufitry people began to <
pour into Reidville. "It" was the first <
hanging in fifty years, and people came ]
from a IT directions. They climbed up into (
trees, on housetops and wherever a view <
could be had. The murderer made prep- i
aration for death, and had no idea that i
any correspondence had been held with i
the Governor. At 10 o'clock the preacher ?
called upon him, with whom he prayed <
and to whom he made full confession of <
the crime. At 11: 20 the sheriff" appeared, i
and the march to the gallows, 800 yards i
away, was begun. The murderer ascend- <
ed with a firm step, his feet and arms were
bound, the black cap was adjusted and the
sheriff" was in the act of cutting the
rope when a voice sang out, "For God's ]
sake stop!" ,
The sheriff looked up and saw the ap- .
proaching carriage, its occupant gesticulat- I
ing frantically. It was Mr. Clifton, who ,
had appeared only just in the nick of ,
time. j
It was ten minutes before the prisoner
could be convinced that he had not made <
the fatal plunge. He was dazed complete- j
ly. When he did realize that he was still i
living his prayers of gratitude were pro- ?
fuse. It was about the closest call ever
man had.
BILL NYE CORRECTS AN ERROR. \
If you will execuse me for introducing a i
purely personal matter, I would like to *
make an explanation at this time which *
concerns me, of course, more than any one I
else, and yet it ought to be made in the c
interests of general justice also. I refer to
a recent article published in a western |
paper and handsomely illustrated, in
which, among others, I find a picture of
my residence. *
The description which accompanies the j
cut, among other things, goes on to state J
as follows: "The structure is elaborate, ^
massive and beautiful'. It consists of three ?
stories, basement and attic, and covers a ^
large area on the ground. It contains an ?
elevator, electric bells, steam heating ar- {
rangements, baths, hot and cold, in every :
room, electric lights, laundry, fire escapes, J
etc. The grounds consist of at least five 1
acres, overlooking the river for several 1
miles up and down, with fine boating 1
and a private fish pond of two acres in ex- .
tent, containining every known variety of
game fish. The grounds are finely laid out [
in handsome drives and walks, and when ^
finished the establishment will be one of :
the most complete and beautiful in the 1
northwest." '
No one realizes more fully than I the *
great power of the press for good or evil. J
Rightly used the newspaper can make or J
unmake men, and wrongly used it can be 1
even more sinister. I might say, know- *
ing this as I do, I want to be placed right .
before, the people. The above is not a cor- ]c
rect description of my house for several *
reasons. In the first place, it is larger and '
more robust in appearance, and in the 1
second place it has not the same tout en- *
semble as my residence. My house is less
obtrusive and less arrogant in its demean- *
or than the one described and it has no '
elevator in it. 1
My house is not the kind that seems to
crave an elevator. An elevator in my j
house would lose money. There is no pop- .
ular clamor for one, and if I were to put
one in I would have to abolish the dining
room. It would also interfere with the .
parlor. .
1 have learned recently that the correspondent
who came here to write up this .
matter visited the town while I was in .
the South, and as he could not find jrie he ,
was at the mercy of strangers. A young
man who lives here and who is just in the "
heyday of life gleefully consented to show .
the correspondent my new residence not
yet completed. So they went over and
examined the new Oliver Wendell Holmes ,
hospital, which will be completed in June,
"nil wtiii.il of pniirsifi a handsome struc- .
ture, but quite different from my house
in many particulars.
For instance, my residence is of a different
school of architecture, being rather on
the Scandinavian order, while the foregoing
has a tendency toward the Ionic.
The hospital belongs to a very recent
school, as I may say, while my residence,
in itsarchitectural methodsand conception,
goes back to the time of the mound builders,
a time when a Gothic hole in the
ground was considered the magnum bonuin
and the scrumptuous thing in art.
If the reader will go around behind the
above building and notice it carefully on
the east side, he will not discover a dried
coon skin nailed to the rear breadths of the
wood-shed. That alone ought to convince
an observing man that the house is not
mine. The coon skin regardant will always
be found emblazoned on my arms,
together with a blue Goddess of Liberty
and my name in green India ink.
The front part of my house runs back to
the time of Polypus the First, while the
L runs back as far as the cistern.
In closing, let me say that I am not finding
fault with any one because the above ,
has crept into the public prints, for it is
really a pardonable error, after all. Neither
do I wish to be considered as striving to
eliminate my name from the columns of i j
the press, for no one could be more tickled |
than I am over a friendly notice of my .
arrival in town or a timely reference to my j
courteous bearing and youthful appear- .
ance, but I want to see the Oliver Wendell (
T-Tnlmou hncnifol Clll'PPPfl . Jin(l SO I COtUe 1
out in this way over ray own signature [ <
and admit that the building does not be- <
long to tne, and that, so far as I am con- j,
cerned, the man who files a lien on it will J \
simply fritter away his time.?Bill Nye in j
New York World. j j
Then and Now.?Says the Augusta ; i
Chronicle: We have repeatedly urged that; 1
one of the greatest wants of the South is .
more and cheaper money. Of money for
investment there is a superabundance East
and West, and our local banks are in con- t
dition to extend the usual accommodation <
to their customers. The trouble is as to 1
time, the best given being ninety days.
The currency of the country has been
contracted in an astonishing way and to a
surprising amount. At the close of the
war, money was in circulation to the
imount of $2,000,000,000. The South had
very little of this money; indeed, she had
very little of any kind of money.
During the year 18GG, the currency in
circulation amounted to $1,803,702,720, a
per capita of $56.70. In 1877, the amount
was $696,443,394, a per capita of $14.60. It
thus appears that the circulating medium
sf the country has been contracted $1,107,259,332
in twenty-one years, an annual average
decrease of $52,726,634. The per
capita reduction amounts to $32.16. These
figures speak volumes.
MEASURING TIME.
The story is that King Alfred had no
setter way to tell the time than by burning
twelve candles, each of which lasted
two hours, and, when all the twelve
were gone, another day had passed. Many
pears before the time of Alfred, and
iniinv vrara hnfir\rn thn timo nf f'hriefr thp
"J J mo Wlii.v w. V/...1WV, ?
shadow of the sun told the time of day by
means of a sun dial. The old Chaldeans
io placed a hollow hemisphere, with a
3ead in the center, that the shadow of the
aead on the inner surface told the hour
Df the day. Other kinds of dials were
ifterward made with a tablet of wood or
straight piece of metal. On the tablets,
tvere marked the different hours. When
^he shadow came to the mark IX., it was
aine o'clock in the morning. The dial
was sometimes placed near the ground, or
n towers or buildings. You see in the
picture two sundials that are on the Gray
ind Black Nunnery in Ottawa, the capital
)f Canada. The cjoek^ on the eastern
and of Faneuil Hall in Boston was formerly
a dial of this kind, and in some of
the old church towera in England you
may see them to-day. Aside from the
iinds mentioned, the dials now in existjnce
are intended more for ornament than
for use. In the days when dials were used
2ach one contained a motto of some kind,
ike these: "Time flies like the shadow,"
)r, "I tell no hours but those that are happy-"
But the dial could be used only in the
laytime, and even then it was worthless
when the sun was covered with clouds.
In order to measure the hours of the night
is well as the hours of the day, the Greeks
ind Romans used the clepsydra, which
means "The water steals away" and a large
ar was filled with water and a hole was
made in the bottom through which the
water could run. The glass in those days
was not transparent. No one could see
from .the outside how much water had
escaped. So there were made, on the inside,
certain marks that told the hours as
the water ran out; or else a stick with
notches in the edges was dipped into the
water, and the depth of what was left
showed the hour. Sometimes the water
iropped into another jar in which a block
if wood was floating, the block rising as
the hours went on. Once in awhile, some
very rich man had a clepsydra that soundid
a musical note at?e very hour.
IRON AND STEEL IN THE SOUTH.
It is a big year for iron and steel; and
1887 will see the largest production of these
netals in the United States, the largest imaortation
and the largest consumption.
The demand for iron and steel has been so
jreat thatthehome furnaces could notsupaly
it; and this has encouraged the buildng
of new ones, particularly in the South.
According to the report of the Iron and
Steel Association there are now being constructed
twenty-six new furnaces in the
south, two in Virginia, three in Tennessee,
one in Kentucky and the remainder
n Alabama.
The Baltimore Manufacturers' Record
shows that the association overlooked four
lew works. These do not include furnaces
ecently built or now being erected to take
he place of old stacks, but only new enerprises.
Sixteen of them will be competed
to go into operation this year; the
>thers will be in a condition to begin work
;arly next spring. Among the projected
snterprises are twenty other furnaces, all
>ut.three in Alabama.
With a few exceptions, all will make
:oke iron and have an average capacity of
.00 tons daily. They will give a producion
of 3G,000 tons per day and add fully
,000,000 tons to the iron production of the
south for 1888 as compared with 188G.
some idea is given of the impetus now
shown in iron making in the South by the
act that of the forty-three new furnaces
>eing erected in the country, thirty are in
he South, and that Alabama is building
;wenty-two to Pennsylvania's nve. p.vilently
the iron industry is rapidly tending
oward the South.
When, however, we come to steel, we
ind that of thirty-eight new mills but four
ire in the South. It is plain that the
southern mineral States, like Alabama and
Tennessee, should turn their attention in
his direction. If they can make iron
nore cheaply and profitably than Pennsylvania,
there is no reason why they
should not do the same with steel. It is
lot generally known that the United
States leads the world in steel production,
ind that while it is slightly behind Great
Britain in the iron output, it is ahead
n steel. The demand for rails and other
steel products is increasing, and the South
should not lose the opportunity offered it
lere. It is opening the manufacture of
steel at Bessemer; it ought to push it forward
until in this, as in pig iron, it becomes
more than the rival of the most favored
portions of Pennsylvania.?New Oreaus
Times Democrat.
The Smiths.?Mythology gives the
lighest place in its pantheon to Vulcan,
she god of fire. For notwithstanding he
s represented as bearded, covered with
lust and soot, blowing the tires of his
"orges and surrounded by his chief minis:ers,
the Cylops, he is given Venus to wife
ind made the lather of Cupid. Among
she Scythians the iron sword was a god.
When Jerusalem was taken by the Babylonians,
they made captives of all the
smiths and other craftsmen of the city?
i more grievous act than the tribute
evied upon France by Germany at the
dose of the war in 1870. For to be deprived
of the use of iron is to be relegated to
i state of barbarism.
The vulgar accounted for the keenness
)f the first sword-blades on the score of
nagic, and the praises of the smiths who
orged were sung with the chiefs of chiv
dry who wielded them, wo nigmy was
.his mysterious power regarded by Tan. red,
the crusader, that in return for the
present of King Arthur's sword, Excaliaer,
by Richard I, he paid for it with four
?reat ships and fifteen galleys."
The smith was a mighty man in Engand
in the early time. "In the royal
,'ourt of Wales he sat with the King and
tiueen and was entitled to a draught of
ivery kind of liquor served." His person
a'as sacred; his calling placed him above
the law. He was necessary to the feudal
state; he forged swords "on the temper
af which life, honor and victory in battle
lepended." The smith, after the Nornan
invasion, gained in importance in
England. Pie was The chief man of the
village and the most cunning workman of
the time. His name descended to more :
families than any other profession?for the |
origin of the name Smith is the hot, dus- j
ty, smoky smithy, and however it may I
be disguised in the spelling, it is entitled j
to the proud distinction which its representatives
sometimes seek to conceal.
Tiie Position Taken During Sleep, j
A very large number of adults form the j
liabit of sleeping in one particular posi- .
1 ' ? ? ? M Mt'akf- /\M 1 nff- I
[ion, sucn us lying upon wieii ngm ui icn ,
side. A smaller number sleep upon the '
back. Some persons sleep with the head 1
?reatly extended; more often it is flexed I
?onsiderably upon the trunk. Many must i
have the head greatly elevated ; others j
i-an only sleep with the head very low. i
Jome observations made by Dr. G. Noso- j
citch ( Wratsch) upon 235 soldiers showed
that 37.5 per cent, slept upon the right side, 1
23 per cent, on the left, and 0.5 per cent, on ;

whether any particular harm can come j
roni sleeping in a certain position which !

STOP THE DISPERSION OF JURIES.
Our next Legislature should pass a law
prohibiting the dispersion of a jury, engaged
in the trial of any case involving
capital punishment, for any purpose whatever,
after the trial has once commenced.
The law should provide for the food and
refreshment of the jurors during the entire
trial, and they should be kept constantly Pi
under guard so as to cut off communication
with the outside world. We believe
this is the practice in the United States
Courts, and in some of the State Courts,
but in South Carolina, when the trial lasts more
than one day, the custom is simply
to caution the jury against conversing
with any one about the case. This seems
to us a very insufficient protection to the ?
administration of justice, especially when
it is taken into consideration that the b
twenty challenges allowed the defendant ?
L1..1 I- - Ai:?vi T
nag enaoieu ins stuiuui uuurueya iu cuur a
inate nearly every particle of intelligence b
and decency from the jury. The average ^
mortal is weak, but what must be said of ?
the material that is usually selected to try "
an important murder case? In these re- j,
marks we desire to be understood as mak- n
ing no local reflections whatever, for as a o
general thing the juries of Aiken county d
have faithfully performed their duty, as is n
exhibited by the fact that in thelastelev- ,
en years there have been eight convictions v
for murder, two of them being white j
men. Seven of these culprits were hung, n
two of them being white. We speak in a tl
general sense, and we insist that after the P
skillful attorneys of the murderer have ?
exercised the right of twenty peremptory ^
challenges and any number for cause, that Sl
the jury is generally composed of just t<
such men as no sensible merchant or other T
business man would like to do business ci
with, and yet these men are turned loose
over night, during a trial, to wander
through the barrooms of the town, and
who knows what influences are brought
to bear upon them ? d
Let the number of peremptory chal- jj
lenges be reduced to five and the jury be ?
kept in close custody during the entire n
trial, even though it last a week, and i
Judge Lynch will find little work to do in f\
South Carolina.?Aiken Recorder. i|
Growing Trees for Railway Ties. ?
A notable phase of railway industry is a
railway tie nursery, situated near the little
- ' ?- A 1 1l
town 01 jrarnngtori, ivansas, in me suumern
part of that State. It is said to be the c
largest artificial plantation of forest trees s
in North America, and is owned by the r
Southern Pacific. The different sections ?
have been planted, respectively, two, four s
and six years, one-fourth being planted
with the ailanthus, the rest with tnecatal- \
pa, together with a few of white ash.
Those first planted are now about twenty- five
feet in height, the last about twelve,
and some of the taller are seven inches
through the stem. There are in all about \
three million trees, in full vigor, on the
plantation ; all were planted four feet apart
each way, to shade the ground, though
eight feet is the ultimate intention, this
plan allowing three-fourths of the trees to A
be cut out when they are fit for fence posts.
When rather larger it is expected the trees
will make excellent railway ties in great
numbers?that is, after a thinning out process
there willbesomenine hundred thousand
trees to come to maturity. The area
of this vast railway tie nursery is to be
still further increased.
A'Picture of tiie Plains.?One of
the most startling and romantic features
of border life occurred recently on the
Wild Horse prairie, thirty miles north of
Los Angeles, when a band of wild horses,
under the lead of a noble sorrel stallion
came galloping over the plains to reconnoitre
a company of surveyors engaged
in making a survey of the tract.
The band dashed toward Capt. Keller a
and his party of surveyors till within C
500 feet, when the leader halted in a proud
and defiant manner, with neck curved,
nostrils distended, erect, and tail on dress ]
parade, and all the band ranged themselves
on each side of him like a squad
of cavaly in battle change. After surveying
the scene for a few moments the ~
n..ill/vr.nr1 niirntf r/\1lAU'fl/l l%?T fKo I J
jcauci ^nuupcu u r*a v j iuuvvi^u uj mv ?
band in the most graceful and dignified
manner. The scene was most romantic,
and the picture of the lordly leader,
with his most obedient servants, in their
fleet and graceful motions, was worthy
of an artist's pencil.
There was another band of wild horses
on the same prairie, under the leadership
of a dark mahogany bay stallion, with
black mane, tail and knees. In this band
there are .two white horses and the rest are bay
and sorrel mainly.
Manners.?"Manners make the man,"
says the proverb. It may be true that
some men's manners have been the ?
making of them; but, as manners are j,
rather the expression of the man, it would {be
more proper to say the man makes the ?
manners. l

From a feeling of gratitude and a desire to
enelit others, I voluntarily make this statelent.
I have great reason to be thankful that
ever heard of Jl. 11. B., as I know what a '
lessing it has been to me. I have suffered
'itb Bronchial Catarrh for a number of years. 1
ix months ago I was taken with severe pain 5
l right ear, which in a few days began to dig- 1
barge matter, with terrible and almost un- 1
earable palpitation and all sorts of noises in !
ly head. In ten days after the commencement
fdischarge and pain in my ear I began to grow '
eaf and in six weeks I was so deaf I could
ot hear it thunder. \
I was then compelled to use a conversation j
ube, and it was often that I could not hear ]
rith the tube. I then commenced taking B. 1
!. B. and the running of my ear ceased run- j
ing in five weeks, and I can now hear withdut
ae tube. My general health has improved,
alpitation ceased, and feel like a new being,and \
ppreciate the benefit I have received from B.
I. B. (made in Atlanta, Ga.,) with gratitude to

"MOTHER'S FRIEND"
Not only shortens the time of
labor and lessens the intensity of
pain, but it greatly diminishes the
danger to life of both mother and
child, and leaves the mother in a
condition highly favorable to
speedy recovery, and far less liable
to'Flooding, Convulsions, and
other alarming symptoms incident
toslow or painful labor. Its
wonderful efficacy in this respect
entitles it to be called Thk Mother's
Friend, and to be ranked as
one of the life-saving remedies of
the nineteenth century.
From the nature of the case, it
will, of course, be understood
that we cannot publish certificates
concerning this remedy j
without wounding the delicacy I

THE immense amount of Life Insurance
carried in this country makes it of National
importance $hat heads of families should be
ible to securo it as cheaply as possible consis
;eni Willi saieiyj r.spwcimiy i* mm iitjceaoary
for the millldnsof man in mod orate circumstances,
wlio must earn tlielr Jiving by bard
knocks and in the face of a competition that is
becoming keener and sharper every day.
If life insurance is not sajr. it Is not worth
carrying, and if it is too msUi/, the men who
most need it cannot carry It ah. How to make
it both safe and cheap is the problem of the
day, and he who solves it will have done a
cjreat and patriotic service for his fellow men.
The Old Line Companies are certainly safe
when honestly managed, but their rati* are
so high, that only the rich can afford to carry
such an amount as would provide for a family,
while the great mass of men, and those, too,
whose families most need protection, are compelled
to go without insurance, or seek it in
the assessment companies or secret orders.
The fact that these cheaper institutions are today
furnishing more insurance than all the Old
Line companies combined, shows how eager
are the mass of citizens for insurance that is
within reach of their means. While these
orders and corporations are furnishing insurance
cheap enough, yet, at best, they can only
be looked upon as temporary expedients and
not altogether satisfactory. But it is plain,
that somewhere between the old line and assessment
plans thero must be a middle ground,
which is not only sa/e, but just and fair to all
parties.
THE -INTER-STATES LIFE ASSOCIATION
of Staunton, Va., has sought earnestly
and honestly to find this middle ground. In
this search they have, at large expense, consulted
and employed the foremost actuaries
and insurance experts in this country, and upon
their recommendation have adopted a line
of rates which is entirely safe, and yet, is in
the reach of every thrifty and industrious man
who desires to protect his family against his
death.
To aseertain this safe rate, they added to the
actual death cost experienced by the old line
companies an ample reserve, and then a reasonable
amount for expenses and profits, but
so limited as to compel economical management.
So plain and fair and popular are its
methods that over three millions or business
was done in the first Sight months work. Its
rates are fixed, and must be paid, deaths or no
deaths, but are divided into two, four, or six
payments a year, as may best suit the convenience
of the applicant.
