tumorous department. A "NIGGER" WITH A CARD. One afternoon a half-drunken fellow got on one of the Louisville and Nashville Bleeping cars bound North. When the conductor showed him to his seat, he found a clean well-dressed, gentlemanlylooking colored man to be his partner in that section, and occupying the seat facing his. He at once began in a drunken fashion to abuse the negro, accusing him of trying to "set up for white folks," doing the dude act in charcoal, &c., and finally got up from, his seat, declaring that he'd "be j d?d If he'd sit there and be out done by a blasted nigger in a high hat. The conductor to keep the peace and ! " * ?? Jo/1 ! prevent any aisturuauce iu mo v^n, iw the indignant patron of old Kentucky bourbon to a seat in another part of the car. Next morning the drunken man, who was not a bad fellow at heart, had sobered up considerably, and with 1 some remembrance of his previous misconduct, went over to the colored man's seat ana commenced to apologize-by saying he had been "a little off his bat," the evening before, and did not mean any harm by anything he might have said; that he hadn't anything against the "niggers," and was always their friend when they behaved themselves. So he hoped the 8trnger would see in any thing that had passed he had meant no personal offense to him. "That is all right, sir," said the colored man, with politness. "I saw your condition at once, and, of course, under the circumstances, did not consider you responsible for your acts at that time. Your apology this morning makes the amende honarable. Allow me," at the same time offering his card to his former persecutor. The drunken fellow drew back as if he had been shot. "Look a-here, Mr. Nigger," he cried, in great excitement, "I had made up my mind to stand the cut-away coat and stove-pipe hat, but I'll be derned If I can stand a nigger with a kyard !"?

A Scotch friend of ours, in overhauling his papers recebtly, found the annexed scrap, which he sends to us for publication : Long years ago, in times so remote that history does not fix the epoch, a dreadful f war was waged by the King of Scotland. Scottish valor prevailed, and the King of Scotland, elated by his success, sent for his Prime Minister, Lord Alexander. "Weel, Sandy," said he, "is there ne'er a king we canna conquer noo ?" "An' it please your Majesty, I ken o' a King that your Majesty cannot vanquish." "An', who is he, Sandy ?" Lord Alexander reverently looking up, said, "the Kingo' Heaven." "The king o' whaur, Sandy ?" "The King o' Heaven." The Scottish King did not understand, but was unwilling to exhibit any ignorance. "Just gang your ways, Sandy, an' tell the King o' Heaven to gi'e up his dominions or ril come mysel' an' ding him oot o' them; an' mind, Sandy, ye dinna come backtaeus until ye hae dune oor biddin'." Lord Alexander retired much perplexed, but met a priest, ana, reassured, returned and presented himself.

One among the most important things in the growing of peanuts is proper preparation ; hut, first of all, land peculiarly adapted to them must be selected, which should be a light sandy loam. Having selected suitable ground, then comes the work of preparing. If the land selected has not been thoroughly limed previously, it is then absolutely necessary to do so, in order to insure a good crop. On fresh lands it will take about sixty bushels of lime per acre. Land previously limed may require additional liming, according to circumstances. Many have planted peanuts and saw the vines spreading out and thickening in the hill, showing evidence of a good crop, but when digging time came found, alas, the vines full of kernelless hulls, and all becauseof a lack of a sufficiency of lime in the land. Well, then, liming is very important, and having limea a piece 01 grouuu n is also quite necessary to keep it supplied with vegetable matter. If, however, one wishes to drill instead of sowing broadcast the lime, he may do so, with satisfactory results and save considerably, but if he wishes to put peanuts back on the same land the next year it will be quite important to re-lime. Having selected the land and limed or marled, the next thing to do is to follow with single plow and drag well. Then plant, when all danger of frost is past and the weather has become mild, in rows two and one-half or three feet apart, according to the strength of the land, and twelve or sixteen inches apart in the row. Put two kernels in every hill. It is of the first importance to have good seed, and in selecting seed several things are to be considered, of which I will speak later. The proper depth to plant them is from one and a half to two and a half inches, according to the moisture and temperature of the ground. In southside Virginia, we begin planting about the$rst of May and finish by the middle of June. In planting we use a recently invented peanut planter, which does excellent work and saves considerable labor. It is the impression of many who are unacquainted with the crop, that they should be planted on a hill. Now, that is a mistake. Many of our most successful peanut growers have no ridge or hill at all, but have the rows on a level with the space between the rows. ; In my opinion, however, I think it best to have the rows slightly elevated for two reasons, first, when rain falls water will not stand on the row; secondly, they are more easily cultivated in that condition. It may be, as is often the case with us, that because of cold, wet, indifferent seed, or from some other cause, one may not i ? rv\A ?*> nrr a otonH SlUXtTCU tllC Lliot Uujc iu c* uiwuu, If so, then lose no time in planting again, or if a sufficient part has come up to justify it, replant the missing hills only. It often happens that no replanting is necessary. Having succeeded in getting a stand, then comes the work of cultivation, and the most important plow for it is the cultivator. It must also be remembered that hoe work is indispensable. As the peanut con; ?s through the ground, grass and weeds will come, too, but before they are large the cultivator should be run near enough the peanut, on each side, to cover entirely with earth both grass and peanut. To cover grass kills it, to cover a peanut at that age don't hurt it, for in a few days it will have burst through, having been checked none in its growth. The next working comes when they again begin to get grassy, and although suggestions might be given for the second working, it depends greatly upon circumstances and one's own judgment at the time would, doubtlesss, lead him aright. The idea preyalent in sections where the peanut is not largely grown?that the bloom must be covered with earth as soon as it comes in order to make the nut form well?is erroneous. It does not hurt the peanut to have its branches partly and some entirely covered with earth, but at the same time it is a waste of time to go to the trouble of covering the bloom. A goodly portion of the profits accruing from the crop is the labor saved in the cultivation. As the vine spreads out and reaches, a certain size or age it begins fingering and the peanut to form. After that it is injurious to plow or hoe close under the hill vine. Before then it matters little how close you plow or hoe. During the cultivation of the crop it is best to keep the ground nearly level, the row slightly raised all the time. When the vines are almost meeting across the space between the rows, then it is time to cut or pull out what grass may be in the rows, and finish up by running a plow that will throw dirt each way down the middle of the space between the rows. ,A plow known as the cotton plow, in use with us, is the very thing.?[J. C. Crumpler in Home and Farm. SAWDUST ENRICHES THE SOIL. I am surprised at hearing a man, who nas usea sawaust ior nny years, say uihoi no value except as an absorbent. I would like to know why it does not return to the soil, in decomposing, the elements it takes in growiDg. Twelve years ago I had a garden of one-third of an acre, on a portion of which the year previous I raised tomatoes, mulching the ground to the depth of two or three inches with sawdust taken from a carriage-maker's shop. I intended to plant this to potatoes and some of my neighbors told me the sawdust would be an injury to the tubers, and advised me to scrape it off. Instead of doing so I plowed it in, manuring the whole piece with what I got from forty hens, carefully saved in a compost heap upon which the waste from the kitchen sinks was discharged. A small amount of night soil was also added. On this piece of ground, besides raising a large patch of sweet corn and vegetables of nearly all kinds, taking fully one-half of it, I had sixty-five bushels of potatoes, over fifty of which were of extra marketable quality. The very nicest and most productive of the whole patch were just where my sawdust was plowed in. Since then I have never been frightened out of the use of sawdust. I am now living on a place which three years ago would not cut the forage for a horse and cow. Last winter I kept two horses and six cows. In the fall I put in eight hundred bushels of sawdust, which I consider well worth one cent per bushel, the price I pay for it. Aside from this 1 filled every available space with forest leaves, and before spring I was nearly out of bedding. I like to keep two or three inchesof sawdust in my horse stalls, especially if the horses tfe geldings, and bed over this with straw. Every day or two the straw is shaken up, the sawdust passed along behind the cows, where it remains over night j and in the morning is shoveled through 1 the floor into the basement. Here the hogs have a rap at it. With one hog to each cow, a bushel of thoroughly dry saw dust per day to a cow will keep the manure pile in the best coudition to handle with a medium fine fork, and it can be spread as evenly as a load of phosphate. My basement walls are laid in cement, and its bottom is cemented, so my hogpens are water tight and I intend to use absorbents enough to suck up all the liquids.-[Z. C. Bowen, in Farm and Home. Everything Free on the Farm.? Occasional townspeople get the idea that what is grown on the farm is so easily secured that it makes but little difference whether the farmer gets paid for it all or not. If a farmer gathers a hundred barrels of apples, a few thousand bushels of corn, he often finds that he has a town friend who expects to draw liberally on both just because the producer has a surplus. An , instance in point occurred the other day. ! An old friend of The Stockman happened {in a shoe store, the proprietor of which I hailed him as follows: "Say! I'll send a wagon out one of these days to pick up a load of your corn." "All right," said our friend: "I'll just pick up a few pairs of shoes and take home with me." The shoe I dealer at once demurred, and really had i the cheek to urge that the cases were not ! at all similar. He failed to see or would ; not eM that, that, the farmer's surnlus corn ! was just as much a source of income as his ; own surplus of shoes, and that it representi ed in labor, seed, use of land, etc., a cost i just as absolute as the amount invested in I his own stock in trade.?[Pittsburg StoekI man. i ^ ^ ^ Cows After Farrowing.?After a | cow has dropped her calf she will be naturally somewhat feverish, and inclined to ; drink a great deal. Care should be taken i to warm all drink given until the calf is at least a week old. She should have laxative, cooling food, and if it is not in the 1 season for grass, a thin slop made from j bran with tepid water is the best thing she can have. Thisis very stimulating to milk production, and if the udders show signs of inflaming, draw down the milk thoroughly several times a day, taking every drop that the calf leaves. ^Vansitlc Gatherings. t&t Drop your bad habits, and they cannot lower you. j |^- The greatest fool of all is he who ! fools himself. 86T Every utterance creates some kind of an impression. 1ST The wisest fellows we think are those who agree with us. 8?T The double-breasted vest is coming into fashion again. aST The orange crop in Florida this year is estimated at 3,000,000 boxes.

IfUsccllanmts Heading.! BISHOP NEWMAN ON THE SOUTH. Bishop John P. Newman, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, has just returned from the South and is stopping at the Murray Hill Hotel. His home is at Omaha, but as he said yesterday, the Bishops of the MethodistEpiscopal Church are away from their homes forty weeks of the year. When he entered the Murray Hill Hotel yesterday afternoon he carried in his hand a big bundle of mail matter containing at least 150 letters. "I have just finished holding the Southern Conferences atEustis and Cedar Keys, Fla., Aiken, S.C.,and Roanoke, Virginia. Those at Aiken and Cedar Keys were colored, and I was agreeably surprised to find so many able debaters among the young ministers, many of whom are college graduates. The most encouraging thing I observed is the change that lias taken place among the young white men of the South. They said to me: 'Our fathers fought for what they believed to be right, but we are now a united people, and we cannot afford to imperil our prospects by clinging to old ideas.'" "The South is in a most hopeful condition religiously, politically and industrially. Northern capital and Northern people are pouring into it and aiding in its wonderfully rapid development. The day of persecution of Northern men has gone by. I asked if there were not Republicans who would be acceptable to all parties as appointees under the incoming administration, and many such were .designated to me. I told the Southern people that before I left the North I had assurances that. President Harrison's administration would be non-sectional, that he would know no East or West, North or South in the conduct of his great office, and that I would use whatever influence I possgss^d to secure theappointment of reputable men to office in the South. "The day of the carpet-bagger has gone by, and it was a disgraceful epoch in our party history. The Southern people are frank to say : 'Of course we do not allow the negro vote to count. We cheat them where they outnumber us, but we cannot, and will not allow them to rule us.' I said to the governor of South Carolina: 'I would rather have your race question than ours in the North. We have to contend against all the races of the world. Yours is a very simple problem and one easy of solution.' Then I suggested that the Southern States should, each of them, establish an educational qualification for suffrage, when the intelligent people, black as well as white, would be arrayed on one side and the ignorant on the other, and they need have no fear of the black man when he is educated. He seemed struck with the idea, and remarked that the only fear they had of the negroes was of bad and cunning whites making use of them, as in the old carpet-bag days. I also said to the governor: 'I see you are trying to establish an immigration bureau in the North. Stop it. You want the Northern people; you don't want Europeans. You have now in the South the purest American blood in the country, and should keep it so.' "I am not opposed to foreigners who come to this country with a knowledge of our institutions and become good citizens, but I am opposed to the riff-raff who control the affairs of our great Northern cities. We have many foreign born people who are acquisitions to the country and are among our best citizens. One thing that surprised rae very much was that the negroes are themselves dividing on a color line, the lighter ones separating themselves from the darker ones. "Another encouraging sign is the revival of the old Whig sentiment in the South. Tnere was an immense meeting In South Carolina at which the principles of the old historic party were reaffirmed." ?[New York Star. HER VISITOR. In the days when the dread of tramps was not as widely spread as it is at present, her parents had ventured to leave little Elizabeth at home alone while the rest of the family went to church. The house was at least a quarter of a mile away from any other dwelling, but although Elizabeth was a very small child, she was not alarm- .ed, but had only a sense of pleased importance in her loneliness. At first she sat with a book, Josephus's History, open on her lap. She could only read the short words, but that made no difference; papa always read it on Sunday. Then she went out to sit on the steps and watch the hummiug-birds near the door. Presently, up the path walked an unshorn, unkempt, and dirty man. Elizabeth rose, smoothed her apron, and sat waiting for him to speak ; she was not afraid, but the sense of being sole mistress of the house made her serious. "Folks to home?" grunted the man. "No, sir; I'm all alone," answered Elizabeth, gravely. "Can't you gi' me soraethin' to eat?" "Yes, sir; you wait here," and the little maid went to the pantry, and, after laborious spreading of butter, appeared with a plate of white bread. 'Aint there any pie? Aint you gotauy cake?" said the man in surly coaxing. "Yes, sir; but I'm never allowed to cut into 'em." "The doctor said I wasn't to eat no bread, not if I starved. He said 'twould be the death o' me." "I'm so sorry," said the little girl, pitifully; "you wait till mamma comes, and she'll give you some, but I couldn't?not anyway." The man looked at her for a moment frotn widely opened eyes; then, with perhaps as much surprise at himself as at her, he began to munch the bread and butter, and finished it to the last crumb. "Gi' me a match," he said, taking out his pipe. "1 can't, sir; father doesn't let the men smoke round the buildings, and X know he wouldn't you." The man stared at her again, Elizabeth calmly returning his gaze. Then he broke into a laugh. "Well, if you aint the gamest chicken I ever see!" he said, and walked away. Elizabeth went back to the contemplation of the humming birds. Next day the tramp was arrested for robbery in a farm house near by, the deed having been committed that very Sunday forenoon. "Oh, X don't think it could have been the gentleman I fed," 3aid JClizabeth, when she heard her horrified mother declare that it must be the same; "he was so polite!" A Snoreb Rudely AwakenedThere were several snoring tales told at a recent gathering of lawyers, but the Athens, Ga., IJanner Watchman says it was left to ex-Senator I^ope Barrow to finish them up. He said that Governor Xjumpkin, formerly chief justice of the supreme court, was inX-iOuisville, in Jefferson county, attending court, and that the landlord put him in a room on the ground floor of the hotel, the windows and doors of which opened on the street. Judge Lumpkin, wheu sound asleep, could awaken the natives with his loud breathing. About midnight, when everything was quiet, the judge commenced puffing, blowing and snorting in his sleep. Out on the street was a little piney woods bull, which was "monarch of all he surveyed." He heard the snoring of Governor Lumpkin, and he must have imagined that it was one of his rivals from a neighboring plantation. The little bull threw a few bushels of dirt over his back, and prepared for battle. He bellowed once or twice to notify his adversary that he was nr, fhu (mmri/l hnf it. Hid not disturb the governor in the least. The snoring went on without intermission. This exasperated the little bull, and curling his tail over his back, he made a break for the window and went through it, carrying everything before him on his horns. The sudden rush of the bull into the room awakened the governor, and taking in the situation he left, with the bull in full posi session of the room.

They are unequal in siae, British Columbia having 1190,314 sijuare miles of area, and little Prince Edward Island containing only 2,Kid square miles. Quebec has 193,355 square miles, ! Ontario has 107,780, Nova fecotia 21,731, I New Brunswick 27,322, and Manitoba nos[ sess 213,961. The enormous northw'est! ern territory, which has been sub-divided i into Alberta, Saskatchewan and Arthabacka, comprises 1,919,502 square miles, Keewaytin 895,306, the Arctic Islands 311,700, and the islands of Hudson's Bay 23, 100. Here is an area in the aggregate of 3,406,542 square miles of God's earth under the jcgis of Great Britain. Polyglot is the population thinly scattered over the land. There are 1,200,000 Frenchmen, the Em erakl Isle has contributed 925,000, and the Land o' Cakes has 555,000 representatives. Three hundred thousand persons trace their near descent to Germany ; there are about 70,000 relatives of Taffy, the Welshman, and the so-called Scandinavians number about 11,000 souls. Ontario, tne most thoroughly English province, has a population of 1,700,000 in round numbers; Quebec contains 1,000,000, of whom 1,100,000 are French. Nova Scotia contains 450,000, New Brunswick nearly 400,000, Prince Edward Island 120,000, British Columbia 120,000, and Manitoba approximately 175,000. Good Advice About Dogs.?A good many people are bitten by dogs, when very few need be In the first place people should not meddle with dogs who do not know them. Every now and then somebody startles a dog by laying a strange hand upon him, pokes him with a stick, or pushes with a foot, and is "bitten by a vicious dog." Why not let the dog alone? There an* people with the bad habit of meddling with what does not concern them, and there are children who have been taught no better than to touch, if they can. whatever takes their fancy. These are the people bitten by dogs. 'Not once in ten thousand times does a dog molest a person who minds his own business, no matter how crabbed the dog may be. If, however, you are bound to approach aud touch a dog, do it properly. There is only one way. It is this: Put your hand easily and confidently on the dog, so that he may smell it. Put it to his nose. If he sniffs at it, and wags his tail, or otherwise shows friendliness, then you may speak to him, and pat him on the head if you like, and perhaps use other familiarities. But if, when you offer your hand, the dog remains sullen and passive, the sooner you take your hand away the better. Never approach a strange dog with either timidity or menace. But, as we have said, the best way is to let all strange dogs alone, and get any desired information about them from those who have the honor of their personal friendship. A Word Counting Machine.?A telegraph operator in Minneapolis has invented a word-counting machine which may be used by itself, or attached to a typewriter. It is much the same sort of thing as a pedometer, only it is more accurate. It is as large as a small clock. The works are inside the nickel case, on one side of which is the face. The machine will count up to twenty-five hundred words, and can be used for any number by keeping tally of the number of times it passes the twenty-five hundred mark. There are two hands like the hour and second hand of a watch. Every time a word on the typewriter is finished the same motion which spaces for the word registers on the 'word counter. When .the second hand counts up to twenty-five words the large hand moves forward a quarter of a space. The face is divided into twenty-five spaces, one for each hundred words, and a glance at it shows at once how many words have been written. Greasing tiie Brain.?Headache is a very common ailment, and some of our rpadprs who are subject to it mav be inter ested to hear of an entirely new method of treatment, which they are welcome to try if they wish. The account is furnished by an African explorer. We went one day, he says, to visit an officer, and, to our surprise, found him lying on a bed, with his head'hanging over the end of it, while he had a small paper funnel stuck into one nostril, and was, at the same time chewing something. On our asking the meaning of this extraordinary proceeding, he replied that he was suffering from headache, and wished to grease his brain, and so was Jpouring oil down the funnel into his nose, under the impression that it would find its way into the skull; and, he added, pointing to his temple, "You see, if I chew at the same time, it makes the brain work, so that it will be more quickly greased." ? . - * ? ? An engineer on the Danville railway, whose run is between Danville and Springfield, 111., has a cat which he would not part with for love or money. It belonged to his wife who is now dead; and for many years past it has been its constant companion in the cab. Ordinarily, says the Chicago Herald, it sits perched up Tn the cab-window before its master, but occasionly it strolls out to the pilot, where it rides for hours at a stretch, winking knowingly at the dogs which bark as the train thunders by the cross-roads. Sometimes when the train is approaching a station, the adventurous animal climbs to the-top of the sand-box, and calmly roosts there, undeterred by the shriek of the whistle or the clang of the bed. The engine has had good luck ever since the animal became an occupant of the cab; and the train men look upon it as a mascot. J^-An unnatural curiosity in the line of stinginess has been found by the Farmington, M., Chronicle. A young lady went into a Farmington dentist's office a few days ago, and had her teeth examined. The doctor reported them badly decayed, but said that with quite a sum of money he could put them in good shape. The young lady departed, saying she would report to her husband, and call again in a few days. She did so, and on her second call she was accompanied by her father, the latter telling the dentist to go ahead and he would pay the hill. Thinking the dentist might wonder why he was paying the bill, the father explained that the husband had said his wife's teeth decayed before he married her, and he was not going to pay for fixing them up; her father ought to do it. t8F A person is not a man in uorea unui he has a wife. Boys and bachelors part their hair in the middle, and it is braided in a strand which hangs down the back. When a boy is married he has the right to cut off his hair, and when it grows again he combs it up into a round, hard knot on the crown. The high-bred girls are unseen. They are secluded at seven, and after this are seen only by their brothers, their fathers and husbands. If they come out at all in the street, they come out at night, and their quarters are in the back of the house and apart from the gaze of strange men. - ? ??? S&" It is estimated that the present population of the United States is sixty-four million three hundred thousand. The total increase is now oneTiundred thousand per month, exclusive of immigration, while the total number of immigrants last year was five hundred and eighteen thousand. If immigration continuesatthesame rate, and the natural increase is retained, the next census, which will be taken July 1,1890, will show about sixty-seven million inhabitants. fgT'When I want a drink I take it."? [Hugh O. Pentecost. "He would be a fool to take it when he didn't wantit. Andas for taking it when he wants it, a donkey can do that. Any man, parson or layman, can do as the donkey does, and take a drink when he wants it, or even refuse a drink when he doesn't wantit. But it takes a man, my son, to refuse a drink when he wants it."?[R. G. Burdette. W /[ROYAL NWH Ji ^ flfl WlK6 POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never vnrles.

Company, Atlanta, Ga.?Gentlemen : I had suffered from that terrible disease, dyspepsia, for over fifteen years, and during that time tried everything I could hear of, and spent over throe hundred dollars in doctors' hills, without receiving the slightest benefit. Indeed, I continued to grow worse. Finally, after I despaired of obtaining relief, a friend recommended B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm), and I began using it; not, however, expecting to be benefitted. After using half a bottle I was satisfied that I was being benefitted, and when the sixth bottle was taken I felt like a new man. I would not take $1,000 for the good it has done me; in fact, the relief I derived from it is priceless. I firmly believe that I would have died had I not taken it. Respectfully, etc., Thomas Paulk.
