. Jiumowus fjcpartmcnt. UNDERSTANDING ENOUGH. A negro preacher that lived on a farm adjoining the parsonage of the Rev. Abner Jacobs, called on his white brother for the purpose, he said, of bringing about a closer understanding between the white and colored churches. "I am more than willing that the two churches should understand each other thoroughly," said Mr. Jacobs. "Glaa ter hear yere speak dater way, sah. monst'us; caze de sooner de folks, white an' black, understand each udder, de better it'll be fur de cause o' de Lawd. Yo' church is in putty good 'dition, ain't it, Brudder Jacobs?" "Yes, fairly good." "Pleased ter know it, sah ; monst'us pleased. "VVush I could say de same fur de congregations I 'zides ober." "?? rmt. vmir chnreh in a nrosnerous con dition ?" the white man asked. "Wall, not ez much ez I could wush el I wuz ter strain merse'f er little." "What seems to be the trouble?" "De lack o' money, sah." "That's rather bad." "You'd think so ef you needed shirts an' socks an' er hat ez much ez I does at de present writin'. Yas, sah, de church is powerful in de grass, ez de feller would say erbout his co'n, an' I think dat it would be showin' tie true an' Christian speret ef you would tell yo' church dat da mus' he'p us out er little." "My cnurch cannot afford it," the white man answered. "But dat ain't de question, for you neber oughter 'sider whuther you kin erford ter lend ter de Lawd ur not. Whut deLawd wants you ter do is ter come down wid de cash, dat's whut de Lawd wants." "That's all right," answered the white preacher, somewhat irritated. "I know as much about the Lord's demands as you do." "Den ef I understand you, I ain't gwine to git de money." "Not from me." "Den you don't want ter bring about ur understandin' between our two churches?" "Not if it costs my church anything." "Mout I ax wharfo?" "Oh, yes. The reason that I shall not give you any money is that I have heard that you are inclined to drink." Drink whut, sah ?" "Whisky." "An' who said dat I drinked whisky ?" "I saw you drunk once, myself." "But who said I was drunk ?" v - "I tell you that I saw you drunk." "You's too fast, sah. You neber seed me drunk. You mout a-seed meatterl had dun been takin' de sackerment, but you neber seed me drunk." "I saw you reeling out of a saloon. Do you go into a doggery to take the sacra meat ?" "No, sah." "Why, then, did you go into thesaloon ?" "Ter git some licker ter take de sackerment v/;d." "What, use the vile liquor of a ttloon?" "'Tain't vile, sah, caze I knows. I's er jedge o' whisky, I is." 'O)o you mean to say that you use whisky instead of wine ?" "Oh J yas, sah ; yas; caze my congergation dun soured on wine?da doan like it. W'y, sah, ez laung ez we had de wine sackerment, darwa'n'tno 'tendance ertall, but ez soon ez we got de whisky you oughter seed de crowd an' de 'thusyasm." "Well, you may go, now. I don't, want anything to do with you." "Nothin' ter do wid me ; an' jest becaze I differs er little frum you on de subjeck o' de sackerment ? All right, sah, I'll go, but I must say dis: I has seed er heep o' churches, t>ut yo's is de wust hidebound church dat I has eber run ercross. Goodday. Our churches dun got understandin' ernuff." Where He Could Learn.?He was a gay young man, and as he stood around the depot his fancy dress caught the eyes of several, and in a few minutes quite a crowd gathered about him. "So you're goin' off to school ?" asked one of them who was evidently an acquaintance. "Yes," was the reply. "What are you goin' to study ?" "Pharmacy," was the lofty answer. His reply caught the ears of an old granger standing at hand who approached, and asked: "So ye air gwine to er farmacy, air you ?" "Yes, that is what I said." "Young man," began the farmer, reflectively, "what air it gwine to cost you ?" "Fnnr or five hundred dollars." "Well, youngster, I kin save ye all o' that, an' sides learn you more than any 'fesSer you kin meet up with." "How?" asked the youth. "Ef you'll come and live with me six months, an' work like I tell ye to, I'll bet I'll learn ye more about farmin' than fifty of these high-toned farmercies kin, an' more'n that, I'll put up? Where in the blazes air he gone to ?" The only reply he received was the sound of the retreating footsteps of the astounded youth. "Doing Well" at the Bar.?Judge Purple, of Peoria, was an able jurist, but he had eccentric ideas of what "doing well" at the Illinois bar meant, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. While visiting Washington the judge was asked by a Boston gentleman as to the success of a young lawyer who had "gone West" some five years before. "He is doing well, sir," said the judge. "He is? Well, 1 am glad to hear it," continued the gentleman. You think he has a good practice and is making money, judge ?" "I don't know anything about his practice or his business, but he is doing well." "How is that, judge? You say you don't know anything about his practice or his business, yet you think he is doing well ?" "I mean just this," said the judge ? "that any man who practices law in Illnois five years and keeps out of the penitentiary is doing well, whether he has much practice or not." A Small Boy's Essay.?The following heretofore unheard of information in regard to breath and breathing was made public in Kentucky recently, says Medical Classics, by a school boy of twelve years, who wrote an essay on the subject: "We breathe with our lungs, our lights, our kidneys and our livers. If it wasn't for our breath we would die when we slept. Our breath keeps the life a-going through the nose when we are asleep. Boys who stay in a room all day should not breathe. They should wait until they get out into the fresh air. Boys in a room make bad air called carbonicide. Carbonicide is as poison as mad dogs. A lot of soldiers were once in a black hole in Calcutta, and carbonic die got in there and killed them. Girls sometimes ruin the breath with corsets that squeeze the diagram. A big diagram is best for the right kind of breathing." Was Original.?"Don't you think," said an author to an acquaintance, "that I have written an original book ?" "Yes, I think so." "You will acknowledge, then, that you have never seen any book just like it? "Yes, I'll do that." "Ah, I'm glad that I have compelled you to give me even a wormed-out acknowledgement of my ability. You actually hate to compliment a man, but will you please tell me in what way my book is strictly original ?" "un, yes; it is original 111 mis way: n is the poorest l>ook that has ever been published." Ratiier Discouraging.?Mr. Slim (hunting for a new boarding-house)?"Is the lady of the house in ?" Servant?"No; she's gone for a policeman." "What are the terms for board here?" "Cash." "I mean how much a week?" "Ten an' fifteen a week, 'cording to room." "I presume she makes a reduction for people who stay a month or two." "f don't know. No one ever stays that long." Important to Druggists.?A New York druggist, who spent the winter in a Texas town for his health, was asked by the genial clerk of the hotel: "Stranger what might your business be?" "I am a pharmacist." "A what, did you say ?" "A pharmacist." "Oh, yes, a pharmacist. Well, you can buy as good farming lands in this neighborhood as you can find in Texas. You have struck the right locality, stranger, if you want to farm. I'll take you out this afternoon in my buggy, and show one I've got to sell."?[Texas Siftings. I ?he Jfarm <md fireside. CAKE OF PRESERVED FRl'lT. Keeping: fruit or any provision depends on three things. It must he sound to hegin. A speek of decay or acid change will develop ferment in a kettle of fruit. Second, the jars or cans must he air-tight. The object of steaming the fruit is to expel the air and arrest the change in the juice, which would naturally proceed to ferment. Air penetrates in finer ways than we can discern, and needs much less than the crevice of a hair or a pin's point to enter and spoil the contents. Glass that is free from cracks or air bubbles, well-glazed stoneware, free from flaws, or strong, dark, earthen jars, will keep the fruit from the air, provided it is sealed with wax, putty or bladder, soaked and left to shrink on the xu ~ ? ? n? mourn ui nit; jars, tans wiui sntw iuin and rubber rings are apt to have slight ?efects, which prevent perfect sealing, and cannot be depended on without wax. Third, the jars must be kept in a dry, dark, cold place, very little above freezing. A shelf in a furnace warmed cellar, or storeroom. opening from a kitchen, is not the place to preserve fruit. It may be put up in the best manner, and yet spoil through keeping in the light, or where it is not cool. Glass cans should be wrapped in paper, buried in sand or sawdust, or kept in a dark closet. Packed with plenty of chaff, oats, dry sand or sawdust, most preserves will stand freezing weather without injury, but each can needs at least six inches of non-conducting material about it on all sides for protection. A pit 011 one side of the cellar, dug below the reach of frost, and lined with boards, with straw or ashes between them and its walls, will keep preserves from heat or freezing. A pit dug in the cellar, four feet below the level of its floor, well drained and lined as above, will prove the best place for keeping small quantities of preserves, enough for a single family.?[Vick's Magazine. Grape Juice.?There are so many who prefer grape juice to fermented wine that I give here what I consider an improvement in the manner of preparing it. Instead of pressing the juice from the fresh grapes, I pluck the berries from the stems and boil them until soft. A little water is necessa Vwvi 1 />?. D/\wn nf llin rrru nfK: in | ry in uie uyiici ui nuiuc mv ? I the bottom may burn before the juice has been sufficiently extracted. When the grapes are quite soft, take them out and drain through a sieve. Then press them and boil the juice until no scum arises. Have bottles ready sufficiently heated to prevent cracking ; fill them up full, with the hot juice, cork at once tightly, cut the corks otf even with the mouth of the bottles and dip them in melted cement. Set them away in a dark place in the cellar, and you have a delicious article of drink, any time thereafter for years. I use a half pound of good white sugar to the gallon of juice, put in while boiling ; this is, however, not really necessary, but gives it more body. When using it, fill a tumbler half full of juice, fill up with fresh water, and it is simply delicious and just the thing for the sick or the well. It isjust the thing for the strictly temperate folks, and a glassful of it will revive one wonderfully when tired and fhgged out. It may be put up in five or ten gallon vessels if well bunged up and sealed, but when such a body is once attacked in warm weather it must be used at once or it will soon turn into wine and then into vinegar. This boiling the grapes whole seems to give more aroma to it, and makes a superior article.?[Samuel Miller, in Orchard and Garden. A Stkong Diet.?One of the most popular fallacies is the idea that the consumption of a large amount of meat is necessary for health or to maintain strength. It is a fact well known that the strongest animals are vegetarians. No farmer would think of feeding his horses or oxen on roast beef in order to add to their strength, even if this kind of food were as cheap as corn or grass. The elephant, the strongest of animals, is vegetarian. The same is true of the human race. The gatherers of rubber A moi-UKl travel ul) flflV guill 111 UUUlll UklUVl ivt? v?v among the mountains, penetrating dense forests, climbing among the most precipitous peaks, carrying ail the time upon their shoulders a load increasing in weight until it reaches one hundred and fifty to two hundred pounds, yet they subsist upon purely vegetable dietary, the chief article of food being plantains and bananas. The Roman soldiers, who built such wonderful roads, and carried a weight of armor and luggage that would crush an average farm hand, lived on coarse brown bread. They were temperate in diet, and regular and constant in exercise. The Spanish peasant works every day, and dances half the night, yet eats only his blackbread, onions and watermelon. The Smyrna porter eats only a little fruit, such as olives, yet he walks off with his load of a hundred pounds. The coolie, fed on rice, is more active and can endure more than the negro, fed on fat meat. The heavy work of the world is not done by men who eat the greatest quantity. Moderation in diet seems to be the prerequisite of endurance. To Tell The Weather.?Benjamin Franklin was the first to discover that storms in this country travel from west to east. He was interested in observing an eclipse, and found that while the observations were spoiled in Philadelphia by a rain-storm that came on just at the beginning of the eclipse, the sky was clear at Boston until the eclipse was over. By communicating with intervening towns he learned that the storm traveled eastward at a uniform rate. Simultaneous observations taken in all parts of the country show that nearly all great storms follow the same general direction?from the west to the east. The same is true of cold and hot waves. Therefore, to tell what the weather will be, in advance, we have only to find out the conditions prevailing west of us. This is practically the course pursued by the signal service. All attempts at predicting the weather for months in advance are mere guess work. Such superstitions as trying to foretell the severity of a winter by the thickness of the breastbone of a goose, or the fur of animals, originated in some obscure quarter, and are not worth the circulation and attention they receive. [Interior. (Jkeen Fruit.?At this season there is all over the land a great deal of sickness with nnt n fnu* ilonths on nrooimt of illl prudence in eating unripe fruit. In the Mosaic system, the Israelites could not eat green fruits. There was no direct command against it; hut the prohibition was incidental. The Hebrews were required to give to the Lord the first fruits in the field, the flocks and the vineyard. "And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the self same day that ye have brought an offering to the Lord." As the people could not eat of the fruit of the orchard and vineyard until they had first made an offering to the Lord, and that offering had to be of ripe fruit, they were thus protected from the sickness and death produced by eating green fruit. The laws of Moses had regard always to the body as well as the s??ul. The eminent Dr. Hall pays an eloquent tribute to the sanitary rules of the Mosaic system and says that "they contain more practical wisdom than was ever devised by any other mind." Meals Spoiled.?An easy way to spoil the evening meal is for each member to I tell the sad tale of all that had gone wrong during the day, to mention the disappointments and vexatious, tell of the slights that were endured, and the offenses that were given; and to lament over the results of this infelicitous combination of affairs, is enough to counteract the refreshing effect of all the good things with which the most generous and skillful housewife can load the table. Letter put this complaining off until some other time. What is the best time for it is hard to say. Perhaps an indefinite postponement would be a nappy thing for all concerned. Half the things that we groan over to-night will right themselves before to-morrow night if we let them alone. Ice in the Sick Loom.?A saucerful of shaved ice, says the New York Medical Times, may be preserved for twentyfour hours with the thermometer in the room at fX)? F., if the following precautions are observed: Put the saucer containing I the ice in a soup plate and cover it with I another. Put plates thus arranged on a good, heavy pillow, and cover it with another pillow, pressing the pillows so that the plates are completely embedded in them. An old jack-plane set deep is a most excellent thing with which to shave ice. It should he turned bottom upward, and the ice shoved backward and forward over the cutter. 4ST It is estimated that about one-half of the cotton crop is raised by white labor.

IHisccUitufons fUathm], J DISCUSSING THE ELECTION BILL. ( In the house of representatives, Mr. t Hemphill, of South Carolina, followed I Mr. Lodge in the discussion of the election 1 bill, beginning with an argument to t demonstrate the unconstitutional nature c of the bill?that congress has no power to 1 interfere with elections. He read from s legislative declarations in the past by the ] States of New York, Ohio and New Jersey 1 against congressional right to conduct 1 elections. r He declared that this was not a national c bill; it was sectional. Under the provis- 1 ions of the first section some portions of I the United States would be under the su- ' pervision of from two to five supervisors, C according to the respective size of the con- i gressional and judicial districts. He could c conceive of no honest purpose for such a 1 provision. It could have no effect but to c - 1 - il. - ? ~ V X place uie ptopiu ui sumo uisuiuus uuuveun i the upper and nether millstones as to the terms under which the law was to go into effect (a petition of a limited number of persons.) Why was it so limited? < If it was a good thing, the law should be of universal application. Why was it that this very complicated and unsatisfactory provision was put in, unless there was an intention to make the law bear down upon i some portion of the people of this country s and allow others to do as they saw fit? f He called for an explanation of that pro- ^ vision. Now suppose the United States I inspectors were corrupt, and from the 1 amount of corruption depicted by the gen- t tleman from Massachusetts, it might safely 3 be inferred that one-half of the people I were unworthy of trust?that they were to be watched as criminals or ticket-of-leave I men. Suppose that the supervisor were to * return a Democrat. He had a life tenure and could not be removed. That hadn't t occurred to the gentleman from Massachu- i susetts. This was a measure to rob the people of their dearest^rights. ^ He had marched before the glittering 1 bayonets of a United States soldier to cast his ballot. Troops of soldiers had been A sent to his town and every soldier had cast 1 a ballot for Greeley. The result was that * the party had a bigger majority than it 1 had ever had in any preceding election. * It needed no eloquence to depict the hor- 1 ror of having thousands of men watching 1 voters for So a day and owing their appoint- J ment to a man who did not owe his appointment to the house or the people, but to a man appointed by a United States judge who could not be got at under any circumstances. There was no more iniquitous provision in the bill than this one, providing for the appointment of an unnumbered number of men absolutely under the direction of the supervisor. Moreover, it was proposed to change the present law by authorizing the selection of these inspectors, not from the town, but from any part of the congressional district. They might never have seen the voters they were to watch, and might have no interest whatever in their welfare. He examined in detail the provisions relating to supervisors, and said the whole bill was framed against the voters and in favor of the supervisor, who was supposed to be an angel from heaven, because he was appointed by a United States judge who had nis place for life. If the purpose of the bill was to secure an honest election, it would certainly not show these defects. Another very peculiar provision was section 118, for which he knew no better name than that of "jury fixers" feature. There could be no more iniquitious proposition than that the statute law should be changed so as to do away with the requirement of an inspector by both parties of the juries of the country, and to have the juries drawn by one man, and that free O of +1?A /\rvnAO? f/v even cv wiiiiew \ji me j/(ii tj . 7 It seemed to him that it must be a very -1 humiliating thing upon the part of the Republicans to-confess, that although J this country has been honest and pure fi for 75 years and no supervision of elections has been needed, during the 2o years ( of Republican rule, the people had be- ( coine so corrupted, their honor so blunted, , their integrity so weakened, that they ] could not be trusted to make an honest re- . turn of their votes here unless the people { are guarded, supervised and scrutinized as , if they were criminals. Was not that a j! fine showing for the party that claims to < be the party of great moral ideas? ( Now one of the chief reasons advanced j here is that, whether true or not, the public j at large thinks there is general corruption ] at elections. ' } He had never heard a more humiliating j confession on this floor. It was the duty , of the representatives to tell the people <, what they knew in their souls, that this , was not true, and not to go to work to trim j their sails and get in the way of this breeze. j A good deal had been said about the New ? South, but what the country really needed \ was a New North?a North that will take , the view suggested by facts and not by ( their preconceived prejudices; that does not | believe it has all the virtue and the rest of , the country none ; that would not waste , all of its time in remedying supposed abuses of distant places; that would not think an Anglo-Saxon in the South always in the wrong when he has any trouble with one of i the African race. 1 A free ballot and a fair count had got to 1 -be the shibboleth of the Republican party. ' He said unhesitatingly that this was necessary for the permanence of our institutions. 1 The right to cast the vote and have it f counted, was a mere delusion and fraud 1 unless the laws of the country were so ( framed that a vote should amount to some- 1 thing. This cry of a free ballot and a fair i count and abuse of the South was the chief t political capital of some men who wanted ( to be returned here aud to keep the voters from watching affairs at home. t After discussing the manner of manipu- 1 kiting elections in the interest of the Re- i publicans, in Kansas, Illinois and other northern States, Mr. Hemphill continued: ( Under this system, which it was pro- t posed to revive, the people of the South i1 nau wen rouueu some years ago pn-.ivuu villains of the North, hacked up by the bayonets of the United States army. The South did not want to be put in that position again. "We," Mr. Hemphill continued, "know we must either rule that country or leave it. Now for myself, before the people of the United States and Clod, in all reverence, I swear we will not leave it. [Applause.] It is the home of our fathers. There their bones lie buried. They bought it with their blood when Concord and Lexington were the battlefields of this country. They have handed it down to us unimpaired; and, gentlemen, are we not our father's sons? Shall the blood first turn back in our veins? Shall we transmit to coming generations a great and noble State which has been overruled and downtrodden by a race whom (Jod never intended should rule over us? 1 do not hesitate to say a colored man has as many rights as 1 liave, but he can't have his rights and mine too; and this law is intended to put him again in control of the Southern States, intended to awaken that race prejudice which is fast dying out, intended to bring about again that con- " stant irritation and clash between the two colors in the South which will retard its growth, and which will he destructive of the very prineiplesof human government." Mr. Hemphill then read from a recent ! address by ex-Governor Chamberlain, of , South Carolina, (Republican) in Boston, to i show what a former governor and Repub- I lican thought of the negro situation in the South. j lie knew it was useless to reason with t certain men in the North. They did not { want to and would not believe anything the South might say. Rut there were many people in the country who believed in lion- ] esty, and he had no doubt that "When we ] pass back of the politicians and get to the \ great body of the American people, and have stated to them honestly and fairly the truth with reference to the Southern < country and the black man in it; when t they have understood the whole facts and have come to a conclusion, T have no doubt they will *ender an honest and righteous , verdict, and whatever that verdict may be, RSil CUIllllluil uiu/.rii 111 ii uuiniinjin;uuiHiiy, I pledge the people of the South to accept ' it as the final arbitrament of this great problem, and relying upon Him who is the God of Justice, wo will go forward in the ' great work of life before us and endeavor ? to perform our whole duty to this country honestly, patriotically and faithfully." Mr. Hemphill was loudly applauded by l the Democrats as he sat down, and nearly all of them pressed forward to congratu- * late him. ( $40,000 kor a Dinner.?'"I once paid $10,000 for a dinner for forty people," said Gen. William T. Clarke, now of Denver, i formerly adjutant-general of the Seventeenth army corps, commanded by Gen. f James B. McPherson. The remark was ] made In St. Louis to a listening group at ' the Southern* Hotel, among whom was a ( Post-Dispatch reporter. Gen. Clarke went ( on to explain about the high-priced meal. It was in Jackson, Miss., in the summer of MM. The Federal army had just taken ] possession of the town. A few (lays before hat one of the Federal cavalry commands uul captured a Confederate officer on his vay to Texas to buy cattle for the C'onfedsracy, and with him they captured a bijic eather valise stuffed full of Confederate noncy. Some of itwas just as it came from { he press with all the sheets uncut. It :ounted up in all $40,000. Gen. Clarke got loidof it and went to a man named Johnion, who kept the hest hotel in Jackson, de told the landlord that he would give lim $40,000 for a dinner for forty, and the j andlord went to work to do his best and j eally got up a fine dinner. All the prin- i fipal generals of the army sat down to it. ] A hen the meal was finished (fen. Clarke j l landed over the $40,000 to Mr. Johnson. ! 1 'It made the old fellow rich, too," said ] fen. Clarke, "for he put every dollar of it j nto real estate at very fair figures, consid- j ring the character of the currency, and j lis heirs are nrettv well off now on account I >f the rise in'the value of the past twenty- I ive years." J SUPREME COURT DECISION. j \ The following is the text of the decision (\ >f the supreme court in the case of the j state vs. J)r. D. C. Atkinson : The State vs. Dennis Atkinson?No.' !,G41. i The defendant was convicted under an ndictmentcharging that he, "being a phy- , ician, unlawfully did give a prescription ] or spirituous or intoxicating liquors, to ] vit: One dozen bottles of beer to one It. 1 doultrie Bratton, he, the said Dennis C. J Vtkinson, not then and there being in act- 1 nd bona fide attendance upon the said It. J VIoultrie Bratton as a patient." He ap- \ lealed. ; i The supreme court affirms the judgment i jelow, deciding the substantial points rais- < *1 as follows: 1 A motion for the continuance is addressed i 0 the discretion of the circuit judge, and \ s not appealable. I, The supreme court can consider nothing vhich does not appear in the "case," as has epeatedly been announced. i The circuit judge did not err in allowing t vitnesses to be asked as to the number of inscriptions given by defendant within a ( ipecified time for intoxicating liquors to va- t ious persons, as found on the files of the ] lruggist in whose store the defendant kept ; lis office. Such testimony was clearly comictent where the real issue was, as in this :ase, whether the defendant had bona fide jiven the prescription upon which the in- , lictment was based, to the person therein j lamed, as a patient upon whom he was ictually attending as a physician, or wheth- j t the whole thing was not pretensive and 1 mere device to evade the law. The circuit iudsre committed no error of aw in taking the cross-examination of scv-: iral of the witnesses out of the hands of he solicitor and conducting it himself, 1 (hough such a course is unusual and periaj)s not to he commended. The mode of conducting a trial must nec ssarily be left largely to the discretion of lie circuit judge, and there was no abuse if this discretion in the present case. The circuitjudge did not charge thejury ipon the facts, in violation of the constituional provision upon that subject, but nerely made a statement of the practical ssues of fact which the jury should pass ipon, together with such testimony as hrow light upon such issues. i Section 1,751 of the General Statutes au>lies to the town of Yorkville, notwithitanding the fact that it is not a local opion town. Sections 1,750 and 1,751 relate :o two entirely distinct and different things md refer to two distinct classes of persons, md the legislature intended thereby to provide for the punishment of two distinct md different offences, either of which night be committed independent of the ither. Judgment below affirmed. Opinion by tfclver, A. J. Messrs. Finley & Brice for appellant. Mr. Solicitor McDonald for the State, reipondent. * 46T Charles II. J. Taylor, a negro lawyer if Atlanta, who was minister to Liberia luring the Cleveland administration, proposes to take the colored voters over to the Democratic party in a body. Taylor has perfected a plan for a convention to be leld in Atlanta next month, to be composed of one colored delegate from each State in the Union. The purpose of the ;onvention, as announced by Taylor, is to lecide upon the best plan of preparing igures to prove to the negroes that they iave never received any favors from the Republican party and never will receive my. In an interview with the Sun correspondent recently, Taylor said that lie has /isited a number of States, North and south, in the interest of his plan, and everywhere finds most of the educated and intelligent negroes in full sympathy with ;he movement. They begin to realize, he says, that they can never hope to be more :han mere voting machines while they remain in the Republican party, and that' ronl frionHs nr<* tlif> llpmnfrnts. Tav- 1 or thinks fully 1,000,000 negro voters will j rote the Democratic ticket at the next j lational election. "Supreme Court Saloons."?Petitions ire pouring into congress from the prohibition States, especially Kansas, urging :he passage of the anti-original package bill, so as, in the language of the petition, 'to shut up the supreme court saloons." The judiciary committee of the house ins decided to report a substitute for the senate original package bill. The substi:uteis as follows: that whenever any article of commerce is imported into any State roni any other State, Territory or foreign lation, and there held or offered for sale, he same shall then be subject to the laws )f such State." Representative Adams, of Illinois, was he only member of the committee who /oted against the resolution. He will irobably prepare a minority report. The substitute applies to all articles of ( ommerce, while the senate bill was inended to apply only to fermented, distilled md other intoxicating liquors.

Juno 4 2.3 tf THE CORI Is The Best Farming In NO OTHER IMPLEMENT WILL DO I Right Now Is tli< TIIEKE is no doubt of the fact that no farming implement lias ever been ottered to the farming world that has given such universal satisfaction as the CORBIN DISK HARROW. It is used in every State and Territory and is heartily and enthusiastically endorsed by every farmer who has ever used it. and they are numbered by thousands. Practical farmers everywhere agree that it is. WITHOUT EXCEPTION, the most profitable implement for cultivating the soil and putting in grain yet in \uiucu. it increases uie i;ru[)s, a?vca nine, aim saves labor. The Harrow i-i made of first-class material throughout, and with proper care will do good work for fifteen or twentv years, and will pay for itself a dozen times over. The wheels or disks are made of the very best of steel, and will neither break, bend or crumble. The disks are not affected to any appreciable extent by rocks and the Harrow will do good work on all kinds of land. The following are some of tho points of superiority possessed by the Corbin Harrow : I. It is theonly Disk Harrow that is perfectly flexible (i. e. one that will adapt itself to uneven surfaces). II. It Is the only Harrow in which the gangs are independent of each other?either can tit or follow an inequality without disturbing the other. .'1. It is tho only Harrow having chillod boxes and anti-friction balls. 4. It is the only Harrrow that has a success ful Seeder Attachment. 5. It is theonly combined Harrow and Seeder that covers every kernel of grain in rows like a drill. d. The Corbiti is unequaled for lightness of draft and power as a pulverizer. The Harrow With Seeder Attachment. Every Corbin Harrow, whatever the size, is arranged so that a Seeder can be attached to it. Tho Seed Box and its machinery are of the most simple and compact character. All its metal parts aro of malleable or rotined wrought iron. Its weight is (of the size to lit tho No. 7 12-disk Harrow) about eighty pounds. The Seeder Attachment " is removable at ploasure. It locks itself tirmly to the Harrow frame .by simply putting it into position. Neither bar, bolt, wedge, key, screw or pin, is usod to fasten it. Therefore, no hammer, wrench or other tool is required to attach or I detach it. Haifa minute of time will remove and one minute replace it. The Harrow and Seeder combined cost about half as much as a Drill, and is a better tool. It will sow grain as evenly as any drill, cover it better, and placo it at any depth in the ground. It is two complete implements in Aim Tt nrnrvu rt.u t 1%/> lialri tn t lin lioot nrtQoi lUo manner for seeding and llion sows the orop. It sows RED RUST-PROOF OATS capitally. WORDS OF PRAISE.

I do not hesitate to pronounce it a most perfect and indispensable farm implement and would recommend it to all my fellow-farmers. ?[C'has. Hardy, Gouverneur, N. Y. I have never soon anything to crjual Clio work of the Corbin Disk narrow, n win undoubtedly revolutionize our system of farming.?[Rev. W. S. Johnson, Calhoun, Ga. The Disk Harrow is absolutely indispensable to a farmcr"who has once used it. Its value as a farming implement cannot be estimated. ?[Geo. L. Riddle, Zeno, York county, S. C. The Corbin Harrow has given perfect satisfaction and I can recommend it as being the best machine for pulverizing the soil that there is made.?[Simon Rrown, Jr., Parsontield, N. H. The Corbin Disk Harrow tills a long felt want in the farmingcommunity. As a pulverizer it is a complete success, and as for putting in small grain itdoes its work admirably.?[VV. J. Miller, Newport, York county, S. CJ. I have used the Disk Harrow for years, and would not be without one for four times its cost. I think the Disk Harrow the most important implemont used, and will do more work for its cost than any implement made. ?[Win. H. Ilerndon, Yorkville, S. C. The only objection I have to the Corbin Harrow is that I have not owned one for the last twenty-five years. If I had owned one during the time mentioned, I would have saved lots of hard work and made better crops. Now that I have one I am delighted with it.?[E. N. Davidson, Lominack, York county, S. C. I have a Corbin Disk Harrow which I have been using for several years, and consider it the most valuable farming implement of which I have any knowledge. As a time and money . saver, aside from the superior quality of work it does, its value can hardly be estimated at the season at which the small grain is sown. ?[R. E. Guthrie, Guthriesville, fc>. C. I consider myself incompent to do the implement justice. I consider the Corbin Disk Harrow is the most valuable farming implement I have ever used, or ever expect to use. There is no implement of" which I have any knowledge that will do so manv different kinds of work or do the work as well.?[Dr. Win. M. Walker, Yorkville, S. C. TheCorbin Harrow is a complete success, and every farmer should have one, and the longer the matter of buying is put off, the greater the loss to the fanner, as it can be used to great advantage in winter, spring, summer and fall. _ I consider myself incompetent to do the implement justice from an economical standpoint. ?[Win. S. Wilkerson, Hickory Grove, 8. C. I find a wonderful difference in working land that has been harrowed and that which has not. The more I use my Harrow the better I like it. It is my purpose to sow my small grain with it next fall, and for two reasons; first, I can sow it better, and, therefore get better results; and second, I can doit at about one-fifth the oxpense and in one-fifth the time as compared to the ordinary wayofsowinggrain. No farmer can afford to be without the Corbin Harrow, and the sooner the farmers tind this out the better. I Would not take five times the cost of my Harrow for it and bo without it. I shall be pleased to give my friends any further information they may desire.?[R. II. Glenn, Yorkville, S. C. The above testimonials, from practical farmers should lie sufficient to convince tho most skeptical that tho Corbin Disk Harrow is a complete success. No farming implement has ever received such universal praise in this section. The St. Lawrence MTg Co., who are the manufacturers of the Corbin Harrow, recommend the No. 7 Harrow as being best adapted to general farm work. It is made in two sizes, viz.: 12disks, 10 inches in diameter,and 0-foot cut, and the other size has 10 10-inch disks and o-footcut. I keep a few No. 7 12-disk harrows on hand and.ran fill'orders promptly. I also have SEEDEIt ATTACHMENTS on hand. I am sole agent for the St/Lawrence MTg Co. for York. Chester, Fairfield and Lancaster counties, S. C., and Mecklenburg county, N. C. I am prepared to quote unusually low prices and liberal terms. Call on or write to meat once. SAM M.
