Here is a sample as Tom j( - utunm tnaa a rla*jrv rtnnninj? fi ICIlSUi X uoic rtaj ? ri 0 V1 there for a day or two who was a beauty. a He wore a high hat that had been black once, but had since bleached to a fawn color. Around his neck was twisted a g collar that had been intended as a turn fj down, but he wore it with the ends turned j up. His vest would have made an ele- 0 Sant side partner for a canvas horse feed j ucket, but it admirably matched his 0 pants, which were brief but to the point, n quite in contradistinction to his elongai- j, ters, which seemed to have been ordered n soon after some one had broken a corner r in leather. The darky was a barber look- s ing for a job, which he didn't find in Free- f( domville, so he concluded to leave the s place. The only time that a through train e stops at Freedomville is when a citizen j, flags by rolling a rock on the track, but ^ the tinted brother wasn't up to that G wrinkle and sought for information from my friend, the Frenchman. Frenchy told him to pull a bell rope, as he called it, u which hung near the station. When the 0 colored gent saw the train within 100 e yards or so of the station he pulled the rope as directed?it was the rope which started the supply running down the big funnel from the railroad water tank. They had to roll the black stranger on a a # barrel to get the water out of him."

Tools for the Garden.?After a garen is plowed, a hoe, manure and shovel aay be all the tools that are absolutely re- { uired for the cultivation of the garden; , ut there is no reason why there should ot be a supply of implements that will ' ave time and labor. Seeds of all kinds ] now Ko nlanfori hv hand. hut that is not a eason why a seed drill that saves time and , ery tiresome labor, should not be used to lant such as can be so planted. There are . variety of such implements. The garden ike is an almost indispensable implelent in the garden and may very often e employed to better advantage than the , oe, in stirring the soil and uprooting . reeds. A good farmer has a variety of f Dolsof all kinds; so too should the gar- j ener. There should be hoes for different , urposes and by all means a wheel hoe, it ( rill accomplish so much in a short space t f time, especially with such vegetables as j nions, beets, carrots, parsnips, etc. There t hould be transplanters, the watering pot nd all kinds of implements that come ( lto practice in a well-ordered garden, 'he wheelbarrow should be at hand to re- g love any rubbish that may accumulate, < ach as small stones, cornstalks, etc., that squire transportation to unsightly places, j lermardovm Telegraph. c Four Points in Farm Practice.?Mr. \ 1. Martin Smith, Delhi, N. Y., has had ( >rty years of successful husbandry, from , 3port of which we glean the appended ( ?ms of practice tested by time: "He ? auls out the manure daily and spreads < ; on top of the snow in winter, which plan j e thinks gives the best results. Places \ tress on the advantages of running pigs < a orchards, producing strong, healthy ? rowth of pigs, and at the same time bene- , tting the trees. Has frequently saved ^ ansiderable sums by the practice of keep- \ ag a cash account in connection with his ( iary, in the way of avoiding the repay- ^ aent of small accounts once paid, where i redit had failed to be given. Condemns { tie drawing off of small stones so closely , s is sometimes done. Believes that on ( is land there is an advantage in retaining < eat and moisture in the soil.

Has prac- < iced this some during the past few years, ] nd is pleased with the result. American Mutton Sheep.?Henry j itewart, who is recognized as among our 1 irst authorities on sheep, says that our < American mountain sheep have the kind i f mutton, and when crossed by South )owns their meat is quite as good as that 1 f the English sheep. A North Carolina 1 aountain half-bred South Down pasturing f n the woods and fattened upon the chest- I mts and acorns in the fall is equal in eve- ( y respect to the best English mutton ( heep, and no American shepherd need go t urther for a desirable location or better 1 heep for mutton. But one cannot have 1 verything in one sheep, and when wool i i wanted mutton must be sacrificed, and j ice versa, for the best mutton does not j arry the most profitable fleece. If we >llow the English methods, pasture the ocks upon rich meadows, feed in the fall pon turnips, and finish with cotton-seed ( il meal, we may have mutton equal in ev- t ry respect to that of England. t Selecting Dairy Cows.?Here is a ! nggestion which may prove valuable to airymen and others having occasion to t urchase dairy cows, and who desire to t get the best." The dairyman who buys j big cow, giving a little mess of milk, for ie sake of her heavy weight as a basis for 1 eef at the termination of her usefulness, ( 5 like a manufacturer who buys a big ? ;eam engine for doing a little work for r ie sake of having weight of old iron to r. ill when the engine is done with. The raste of food for keeping the excessive .? weight of the big cow warm and the waste t f keeping hot the needless iron in the ( ig engine, are very analogous, and there t i a striking similarity between the old s on in the worn-out engine and the beef o nntir j ? at nunruuuwTT? 8ST The moment any kind of manure beins to ferment, no matter where, it gives ff some of its substance in the form of gas; ut if the fermentation should occur wlthi the soil it would be gradual, and the roducts of decay could be utilized by the eighboring plants. Besides, fresh manure, i fermenting within the soil, will act pon the soil advantageously in various fays. It will not only play the part of a jrraent, and so tend to decompose the aert nitrogen compounds of the humus, ut the products of its decomposition will ct as disintegrating agents upon the inDluble portions of the soil. Horses and Health.?A consumptive i reported as having cured himself by a lan of his own. He established himself t a farm house in the mountain regions f Virginia, bought a horse and spent the fhole day in the open air, taking care of lie animal himself and riding about, at rst only a few minutes at a time. Every ay he grew stronger. He attributed his ecovery to the fact that he not only rode, ut groomed his horse and busied himself n hour or two in the stable every day. lis opinion supports that of an old time octor who declared that "a horse barn is neof the healthiest places in the world." peache3 and gelatine.?A delicious essert is made of canned peaches and geltine in this way: Soak one-half cupful of elatine with a cup of sugar and a dozen alvesfrom a can of peaches for one hour, hen pour on a cup of boiling water and >ass all through a strainer. Be sure to stir tall over the fire until all the gelatine is issolved. Set it aside to cool, and when eady to congeal have ready a cup or rich 1 ream; whipthecream until light, add a ( inch of soda, and stir it into the gelatine uickly, one spoonful at a time. Turn * nto a mold wet with cold water, and set in ( cold place to harden. Salt for Grapes.?In a report to the ! Vestern New York Horticultural Society n experienced fruit grower, of Tompkins * ounty (Mr. P. B. Crandall) states that salt pread around a grape-vine in a radius of hree or four feet, sufficient to whiten the round, has been a preventive of railew for the past two years. The same vaieties adjoining, not thus treated, were ' uined by mildew, while those salted were t aved. The result of the experiment 1 hould be noted by grape-growers whose ines are exposed to mildew. , The Use of Lime.?The free use of i ime about the farm premises during this i nonth is conducive to health. The white- t cashing of outbuildings, and a sprinkling i f slaked lime everywhere where a foul ( as may arise will doubtless avoid fever3 s n many instances. The poultry house j hould receive a heavy coat inside aud j 1 ut, and the trunks of fruit and shade ; 1 rees should be white-washed from the ] round to the first set of limbs. Lime I hus applied is an enemy to insects. ] 3?* There are no secrets in sheep raising. ; 1 4- kAr. 4-^v Arwyrk Ktr fnoHinrr rPhO chopn I y 1/ lias IU UC UUUU UJ 1VV/U Jktiv wt?vv^ I tave to eat something and that something j I las to be sweet feed, grass, grain, vege-1 ables, fruit or anything that is wholesome j .nd nutritious, but must be abundant and , i infailing.

Mr. Gideon Lee makes the following idraission which, taken in connection with his first estimate of Mr. Clemson's ?state, may, if we read between the lines, reveal the real reason of his failure to see Mr. Clemson for more than ten years. He 3ays: "Personally, I have not seen or spoken ;o Mr. Clemson for more than ten years." Taking up the paragraphs, we vTould renark: Mr. Lee's neglect- of his old relative, whom he supposed was poor, is not unnat rral. Except for the met mat iur. v^iumson left an estate we have no idea that Mr. Lee's health would have ever sufficiently ecovered to enable him to come to South Carolina. In that event, we should have lever heard of Mr. Lee. The prospect ol nheriting a large estate, however, has a endency to improve one's health, and we ire ready to note the prompt effect in this ;ase. Mr. Lee is eminently correct when he ays that jurors and legislators in South Carolina will never do anything to "de>rivea motherless child of her lawful inleritance." The juries and courts of this Jtate are presumed to deal justly with all jeople, and any reminder that the constant is "the great grand-daughter of me of the purest and most talented statesnen that the State of South Carolina, >r the whole American continent, has iver produced," is offensive to the last Jegree, and can be excused only on the jround of the lunacy of the writer. We lave been reminded of the greatness of Calhoun until at the repetition of the itory, "the whole head is sick, and the vhole heart is faint." This thread-bare, vorn-out talk of Calhoun is simply sickenng. South Carolina does honor to her iistinguished citizens, but we are not a generation of toad-lets to sacrifice our own sersonal self-respect in sycophantic homige to any man?either dead or alive. A.nd he who goes into court claiming iither verdicts of juries or judgments in jourts in his favor because he is remotely :onnected with the distinguished dead, iither has a poor appreciation of South aIoa a Ia Viatt?i o rrnqrrl. jaiUHUtV) Ul CISC lie UCCUO iu uw*v IV bMM4V* ian appointed for himself. Mr. Gideon Lee seems to dote on his laughter's relationship with even George Washington himself, while reminding us )f the worthlessness of Mr. Clemson's own relatives. Mr. Lee's conduct has placed his case jntirely beyond the pale of sympathy?il iny ever existed. The verdict of the jury, the judgment of tjie court and the final lisposition of the property will be purely i question of fact?ana lawyers' fees. In connection with this, however, we would say that if the courts should sustain :he will, and give the property to. the State, we trust South Carolina will not lake, or absorb that part which wa9 jriginally given to the daughter. She )ught not to be robbed because her father icts the part which he does. South Caroina does not want to punish that young ady because of her father's lack of comnon courtesy and common respect for our people, our courts and our laws.?Abbeville Press and Banner. THE SOUTH AND HER PRISONERS. For fifteen years Dr. J. William Jones, )f Atlanta, had charge of the records ol ;he Southern Historical Society. In reply ;o an inquiry as to what was the most imjortant matter settled by those records, le said: "The humane treatment of prisoners by he Confederate government. The Hisorical Society records settle beyond dispute the following points: "1st. The federal government was chalenged to show from the confederate rec>rds in its possession a single order suggesting or tolerating anything but the nost humane treatment of prisoners, rhis it failed to do. "2d. We showed countless orders of the strictest nature providing for the humane reatment of prisoners above every other consideration, and orders from our generils that "all the field" should be treated dike by our surgeons. "3d. We proved that the South religously adhered to the cartel, and that the ^orth repeatedly broke it. For instance, t was agreed that the excess of prisoners ibove the exchange should be paroled. We kept this inviolate until Vicksburg, when the North acquired the excess of arisoners. It was then disregarded openy and avowedly. "4th. We proposed that the surgeons of ;ach side, with medicines and supplies, should go into the prisons of the other side, ind treat the prisoners. This the North refused. "5th. We then proposed to let their surgeons come with medicines and treat ;heir prisoners, without them giving the same privilege. They refused to send them. "Gth. We then proposed to buy quinine ind other medicines, contraband of war, saying for them in gold, cotton or tobacco, ind pledging our honor to use them exilusively and solely for federal prisoners n our prisons. They refused to sell them. "7th. In January we proposed to parole 15,000 prisoners then in Andersonville, il ;hey would send steamers to Savannah for ;hem, without demanding a like parole ol pur prisoners from them. They did not iccept this offer until six months later, :hough we had notified them we were ut;erly without proper food and medicine 'or them. It was during this six mfonths >f shameful delay that the greatest morality occurred at Andersonville. "8th. We proved by the records of Secretary Stanton and Surgeon Barnes that ;he confederate mortality in Northern orisons was actually four per cent, greater ;han the federal mortality in Southern prisons, although they had the world's narkets and the world's medicines open ;o them, and we were beleaguered, poor, md with every medicine and scalpel made ;ontraband of war. "The above points, each and severally, ire proved beyond dispute in the records )f the Southern Historical Society." We respectfully submit that if the South;rn Historical Society had done no work put this, it would have amply justified the rouble and expense it cost. Every newspaper in the South should lay these statenents before its readers, so that young ind old may know precisely what the ecord is, and be prepared to defend it. The Clemson Bequest.?The Columpia correspondent of the Augusta Citroni de, writing last Saturday, makes the /blowing reference to the Clemson bequest: In talking about the Clemson bequest A^ith a prominent lawyer, he said to your jorrespondent that it was very doubtful f Mr. Clemson had created such a trust as would stand in the courts. It appears :hat there is no provision in the will by .vhich the trustees can be /orced to carry )utits purposes if they should fail to do ;o, and that without such a clause it was arobably not a legal trust. This point nay be made in the pending contest over :he will. It is said that the C'alhouns of New York and Atlanta, are very anxious ;o get possession of the property, and that Mr. Lee has their sympathy in his efforts ;o break the will, although it is very likey that these gentlemen, who are wealthy, would prefer to acquire it by purchase than by litigation. The Ideal Newspaper.?Making ol newspapers is a business, and why should not newspaper men be allowed to manage their occupation in a business way? They cater to public tastes; they bid for public patronage, and to do this they must furnish what the public wants. If the public Joes not want an ideal newspaper, so much the worse for the public. The same public that rejects the ideal boot and the ideal bonnet has time and again spurned the ideal paper from it and would have none of it. Stock in an ideal newspaper usually is worth all the way from fifteen cents to $1 downward.? Yankee Blade.
