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 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 !"?

WHY NO SCOTCHMEN*00 TO HEAVEN.
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.
"Weel, Sandy," said the KiDg, "has ye
seen the King o' Heaven, an' what says
He tae oor biddin'?"
"An' it pleases your Majesty, I hae seen
ane o' his accredited ministers."

"He says your Majesty may e'en hae his

"Was he sae civil ?" said the King,

o' Heaven that for his civility the de'll a
Scotchman shall set foot on his kingdom."

PEANUT GROWING.
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

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.
Canada.?The Dominion of Canada is
composed of seven provinces and a number
of vast Territorial districts, which cori
respond to the Territories of the United
J States. The provinces bear a relation to
the individual States. 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

refuse a drink when he wants it."?[R. G.

TESTIMONIAL 07 HON. TH0S. PAULK,
OF BERIEN COUNTY.
Would not. take $1,000 for it?Relieved of
Fifteen Years' Suffering from Dyspepsia.
AIjAI'aka, On., June 22, 1887.?B. B. B. 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.
