Continued from Hirst Page? insufficient, poor and generally novel food, and with no physician, this can not be wondered at. They have showed themselves as helpless a* babes, but it must be remembered that landsmen are for,orally so at sea. The only real trou? te has been their indifference to their own comfort and cleanliness, which pro? ceeded probably from a lack of appreci? ation of the importance of those matters. While all are lamentably, some grossly, ignorant, that is hardly their own fault. Altogether, despite the many reprehen? sible characteristics displayed by some, I have been favorably impressed with the mass of these emigrants. Most of them will make good citizens; some will be invaluable acquisitions to the new conn try. I don't think there is a really bad or viciously disposed person among their number. I cannot, however, find terms strong enough in which to denounce the conduct of the managers of the expedi? tion, deliberately sending the Azqr to sea without a competent physician. * It was a crime against the Almighty, statute laws and humanity. The death of a large proportion of the deceased emi? grants lie directly at their door. The stain of innocent blood is as deep on their hands as on Cain's. If I should never .write another line, my last earnest advice to the colored people interested in this movement would be to rigidly inves? tigate this matter, and cast out every man, participant in, or cognizant of, this great iniquity. May 21.?We are nearly becalmed, having made but 70 miles during the pant 24 hours. In the middle of the night a great routing of seamen from bod, puliiog and haulding at ropes, and stumbling of sailors over sleeping emi? grants, the latter being accompanied by much profane language, roused every? body. The turmoil was caused by the approach of a squall, of which, however, we got only-the tail end. The" sick are generally progressing tol? erably well, no deaths having occurred to-day. Good society has been engaged in delightful but unsuccessful angling for fresh shark meat. Hot? Don't men? tion the word! Another development of George Custis' medical skill was made to-day.. He has been bathing the sore eyes of a passen? ger's child with warm salt water,, reduc ? ing the little sufferers optic's to a distress? ing condition. Practice suspended. May 22.?Becalmed.' We' have made twenty-one miles during the past twenty four hours. Distance from Monrovia computed to be 379 miles. So near, and yet so far. The 'fever spread no more, but . two sicirmen in the -^forecastle-are expected to die. The water is beginning to ran short, and half rations are being issued all around. Fearfully hot! The emigrants seem generally comparatively happy and contented. They absolutely take no thought whatever for the morrow. The Methodists and Baptists are holding enthusiastic meetings on alternate nights in the bow. Beans! beans 1 beans! at every meal beans. In my dreams I am pursued by the genius of Famine over endless des? erts of baked beans, with an occasional "chunk" of salt pork by way of an oasis. If I ever get back to Charleston, I'll go voluntarily before a full court of judicial and .ministerial trial justices and make solemn affidavit never to eat a bean again. Beans! faugh! Beans will ever hereafter be associated in my mind with colored emigrants, and I'd as lief eat one as the other. Then, besides the beans, there are the babies. Every emigrant has one of the latter. They squall and yell by detachments from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, and when the evening shades prevail the night squad come on duty. My friend Home (that's the mate) deposes and says that when the innocents run down for a sea? son, their parents, without provocation, wind them up again with a strap,; (with which every , parent aboard, foreseeing the scarcity of peach switches, has pro? vided him or herself.) Oh, sLades of good Kings Herod and Pharaoh! May 23.?In the language of Old Jack, it's "wnsser and wusser." We have only made twelve miles during the past twen? ty-four hours, and tho sea is a sea of molten, scorching blue glass. Early this morning, within a few minutes of each other, .occurred TWO MOSE DEATHS, being those of Stanford Smallwood/aged eight years, son of Jack Small wood,-of Edgefield County, S. C, and Samuel Hadley, of Burke County, Ga., aged sixty-four years. The poor creaturee were given the usual hasty sea burial and scanty ceremonial, in place of peace and plenty and halcyon, days on sunny shores for which they were journeying, respectively, to pass in comfortable tran quility the remaining years of an old life, and in bright prosperity the many Sromisod ones of youth. Smallwood's eatb was attributed to measles, and Hadley's to the fever. The people are very bard to manage in sickness. Just as they are with infinite trouble being brought around, they gorge themselves with fat pork, and:down they go again. It is a subject for wonder , that .we havn't more sickness. Very few of the steerage passengers have changed their clothing, and many have not-even washed''their hands and faces, since leaving Charles? ton. They watch the mate, the captain, and I, taking salt water shower-baths, with awe, and avow that they, are afraid., of it. Not one of them has imitated us. Two more men are expected to die. .1% 24.?A ray of comfort came last night in the shape of a light and shift? ing breeze, in which we managed to scuffle 63 miles. We are 310 miles from Monrovia at noon to-day. TWO HOBE DEATHS this morning, making a total-of fourteen so far. They were Bermillo Clarke, ag^ed 15 months, daughter of Ned Clarke, of Clarendon County, S.'C, and Laura Wil? liams, aged 22years, wife of Brian Wil? liams, oi Borke County, Ga. The death of the former was attributed to convul? sions, and that of the latter to the fever. {Several more deaths are expected. The captain is barely able to get about, beim;. completely knocked up wi*h fatigue ana anxiety. Still very hot. We nave prob? ably gotten into the current setting along this coast, which will help us some. Yesterday the peogle drank their half rations of water all at once, and there was much suffering in consequence. In some instances one portion of a family would rob the others of what of the fluid was reserved. To-day they seem to bave learned more prudence. It is a, curious fact that our efforts to catch fish' from the stern are defeated by the scraps and other food continually being thrown overboard. We can, see the fish turn contemptuously from our bait and snap up these drifting provisions. Everybody in the steerage seems to have a cold, ana the coughing is continuons. The emi? grants nave become ho used to seeing funerals that they fail to attend them, and the putting of a body overboard iieems to create no excitement whatever.. May 25.?The prospect to-day if gloomy enough. With all sails set we have only made seven miles during the past twenty - four boors; the wide circle oi sea surface is smooth, except when now and then a wide irregular swell heaves restlessly up I as if the water were panting under the beat which beets down fiercely from the blazing sun hung in a cloudless sky; the Azor rocks sleepily, her head swinging aimlessly about, and her sails flapping Iftrily against the yards. The passengers ' badule about, crouching under the awn? ings, conversing occasionally in subdued tones, perfectly idle and listless; the vessel is becoming overran with vermin, and the smell about, the steerage is fear? ful. This morning we buried the y?TK&STH A'JTD SIXTEENTH CORPSES, being those of persons who died during the night. They were Matilda Williams, aged 20, wife of Simon Williams, of Burke County, Ga.. and Mary Ella Rob inson, aged 14 months, daughter of Fred. Robinson, of Edpeneld County, S. C. The death of tnc former is attributed to the fever, and that of the latter to mea? sles. All amusement is denied. Yester? day I shot a sea gull and one or two bon itas, and this morning the oldest emigrant aboard came, cap in hand, on the quarter deck, and woke me from my hammock with the petition that I would shoot no more, as he felt convinced that it would bring us bad luck. The mortal remains of the slaughtered gull had, he said, been floating about the bark all night. Two "mare-maids'' had also been seen to go by. "Ancient colored individual," said J| "Where we lay Were there 'lamentings heard i' the,air: strange screams of death; And prophesying, with accents terrible, Of dire combustions, and confused events New hatched to the woeful time!' Did the 'Obscure bird clamor the livelong night?'" He said that they were, aud furthermore averred that an ancient dame, full well reputed for veracity, had seen a spectre dire backed like a shark, but very like a horse (probably having some connection with the mare-maid) about tbe ship, which she supposed to be tbe disembod? ied and distorted spirit of the gull. This is an actual occurrence, and bears but what was said somewhere in the misty past of this letter about the negro's f,ghost" and "Ku Klux" factories. The latter is not available bere, and they re? turn to tbe former, repeating these horri? ble tales to each other. I find on the sheets of my "copy" strange thumb' marks, which lead me to believe that somebody is surrepti? tiously engaged in reading this commu? nication. I sympathize heartily with whoever it is, as I've had that job to do myself. May 26.?Last evening, just before dusk, black clouds began to pile up above the western horizon. Before long the the glassy surface of the sea was rippling into wavelets, and just as darkness was coming on a welcome aud body and soul refreshing gust of wind fJarae from the wiest, being immediately followed by a steady breeze, which filled the hanging sails, and awoke tbe vessel from her lethargy, and -sent her gliding along "like a thing of lite," leaving behind her in the phosphorescent water a long, shin? ing trail extending into the night. The clouds promised rain, and arrangements were made to secure as much water as possible. Everybody seemed to be tak? ing in great draughts of the fresh air, which went rushing down through the wind sails and doors, scattering the close and fetid atmosphere 'tween decks, and fiiling evory-place with'the very elixir of life. Cheerfulness and activity replaced the apathy and languor engendered by the week's calm, and in a few minutes all hands bad gathered about the decks, and the joyful noise of old-fashioned hymns and choruses was heard from a hundred voices. The breeze held until about 3 o'clock this morning, when it suddenly changed to the east, filling the sails the wrong way, ("taking her aback.") The helm was immediately put hard down,, the vessel brought before the wind, and all hands put to work clewing up everything. In the twinkling of an eye, amid the bellowing and crashing of thunder, the howling of wind, and the flashing of lightning, which followed each other very rapidly, THE TORNADO broke upon as in all. its grandeur. The excitement and exhilaration of the next few minutes amply compensated for the weary days of calm and discomfort. The wind roared, shrieked and whistled through the rigging, the thunder dis? charged itself in peal after peal, the sails beat with dull monotonous thuds or cracked like a thousand whip lashes, the rain pelted and rattled, ?na the cries of sailors and orders of officers could be heard faintly as the wind swept them away. The continuous vivid flashes of lightning brought out all the surround? ings in momentary tableaux?the dark figure of a sailor far up in the rigging would be brought into startling relief? the captain at the helm standing out in a flash and swallowed up by the darkness ?a group of sailors in' theCattitude'.of running or hauling at a rope, disappear? ing before the motion or gesture could be completed?a knot of passengers crouch? ing under some shelter, with anxious, startled faces. All of these things would come and go with almost inconceivable rapidity,., leaving themselves photo? graphed on the mind with their back? ground of intense, sudden light and sur? rounding of dense darkness. What added to the weirdness of the effect was that the storm had come so suddenly that, there was no sea, and the Azor, amid all the crash and confusion above, ran as noiselessly through the water as if she were a phantom ship, the spectral effect ,beingf heightened.bv the balls of. pale electric light which lodged on the end of each yaruarm, and on the top of each mast, (a phenomenon very, common in these regions.) I The two outer jibs went as an attempt -was being made to haul j them'in, a rope parting. A large piece of one of the. sails (now becoming lite ? rally,, ?. "flying" jib) went flying away. This sight being witnessed by one or two of the steerage passengers who had come oh deck; .they rushed down stairs and gave the alarm to their comrades, who awakened by the uproar, were gathered there in the darkness, that the sailors had lost control of the vessel, that the sails were all going to pieces, and that inevitable destruction awaited the entire party. Then to tbe other noises were added those of praying and wailing and shouting. The sailors, however, with wonderful self-denial, calmed the excite? ment, and that much of the trouble was done away with. In a few minutes everything was sunny, and the Azor was running by the wind under bare poles. The sail arranged to catch the water had been torn loose and was lodged up in the rigging, and no entreaties or commands could get the passengers to go out and catch the gallons of the precious fluid pouring from the roof of the' poop. So we got no more than two or three buck? etful. This may partly be accounted for by the experience of one of them. In the beginning of the storm, after catch? ing a large bucketful on the quarter deck, I discovered that it was still slight? ly brackish and threw it out in the com? panion way. As I did so I heard a faint "whoo," like the catching of breath after a sudden submersion, and caught a sec 1 ond's glimpse of a dark figure. A few minutes afterwards I found a thoroughly saturated emigrant in the steerage telling ? how, just as he was going on tbe quarter deck; the rain struck him in a sheet "like ..'twas poured oat of a bucket." Put this and that together. The wild really did "blow great guns," while it lasted, which was about three quarters of an hour, it being a genuine tornado. So quickly was the ship han? dled, however, that she lost nothing ex? cept the two jibs. When the violence of the gale had abated, it gave place to a steady breeze, which allowed the setting of all the sails except the royals, the weather being too unsettled to allow their use. We made 68 miles by dead reck? oning to noon to-day, putting us within 245 miles of Monrovia. TWO DEATHS AND A BIRTH marked to-day. The former were those of Mitchell Williams, aged 62, of Burke County, Qa.. who died of the fever, and Cicero Daniel, aged 15 months, son of Scott Daniel, of Barnwell C?ounty, S. C, who died of diarrhoea. This brings the total number of deaths to 18. The oirtb, the second one on this voyage, was that of a son to the wife of Aleck Clark, of Clarendon County, S. C. May 27.?A succession of light tantal? izing breezes and dead calms has lasted twenty-four hours, during which we have gained but two miles, being sailing across the current which drifts us to the north and west We have only water to last for ten days on half allowance; the fever is likely to break out violently at any time, and there is an epidemic of sore throats and colds, somewhat resembling diphtheria, which nobody aboard under? stands or can cope with. Fresh provis? ions all gone, and others becoming bad. This unprecedented calm may fast a month; and tbe current is steadily losing us ground, (or water,) a cheerful outlook. To-day!s event was catching a shark, which was cooked and generously divided out as far as it would go. Later?The captain has decided to PUT INTO SIERRA LEONE, which is only 57 miles from us now, for water, fresh provisions and medical at? tendance. The announcement gives gen? eral satisfaction, and the people are gath? ered on the bow singing joyfully. This seems a most wise measure, for it would be running a fearful risk to pass the port and take the chance of being becalmed without water and a pestilence raging. May 28.?This morning THE NINETEENTH DEATH occurred, being that of an infant son of Scott Bailey, of-, aged fifteen months, Death is attributed to the fever. It seems as if we were getting in just in time.? Two more persons sickened with the fever this morning. The hills about Sierra Leone came in sight at 9 o'clock, and now at 2 p. m. they are plainly to be seen with the naked eye. Everybody is singing, dancing and shouting, and people are running to my cabin window or door, announcing that they can see houses and trees. Some seem almost wild with joy? ous excitement at seeing something be? sides sky and water. At 4 o'clock the town (Freetown) was in plain sight dead ahead. The land, as seen from shipboard, con? sisted of a long, irregular range of hills. On one side, to the northeast, or on the left side going in, the range terminates in a steep incline, from which the coast runs low and flat, as far as the eye can reach. On the right, away off, there is a break in the hill chain, after which there are several abrupt bills, (what in East Tennessee they call "knobs,") which ap? parently decrease in height as they run to the southwest. This is the general outline of the horizon. The town proper is apparently clustered in picturesque confusion on the side of the last hill to I the left, just in the bend which the cape forms at its junction with the mainland. As we slowly sailed in a British mail steamer was made out following us. The shore became more and more distinct as we approached,- until we could plainly see the white lighthouse situate on the cape, built close to the water's edge and surrounded by deop green foliage. The hills looked like aoy other hills, with patches of red clay peeping out here and there, through tbe trees and grass, with the little water courses, or gullies, fur? rowing their face. Their appearance was -very familiar to eyes accustomed to Southwestern and Northern landscapes. Many of the trees, however, were palms and cocoas, and all the others were strange to us. Several fishing boats, precisely similar in build, rigging and crew, to those plying in Charleston har? bor, sailed out past us, one or two com? ing quite close. Those aboard of them must have sni raised that the Azor con? tained the inmates of a lunatic asylum out for an airing, from the scrambling, rushing, shouting and vociferous laugh? ing of the passengers, as well as from tbe variety of aprons, skirts, hats, rags and handkerchiefs waved at them. We couldn't make out much of the town, as it was covered by the trees, which seemed planted in gre.it coufusion all through it. At about half-past 4 o'clock an ordi? nary ship's boat was seen pulling out .containing five men. As it approached uearer, it was seen that all five were ?black as tar, and that four were dressed in a narrow cloth hung about the loins, and nothing else. The other was attired just about as the ordinary colored long? shoremen or boatmen around Charleston usually are. As the boat came up on the port side of the Azor, there was a general break among the emigrants, who Bed in every direction, scrambling over the hatch houses and tumbling over each other in their precipitate flight. The children seemed especially frightened, and fled below. The individual with the clothes on scrambled up the side, a rope being thrown him, and proved to be a small, weazened and respectable-look? ing old black man. His companions stood up in their boat, slipped on loose blouses and pantaloons, put on their hats, and came aboard, excepting one philo? sophical savage, who remained in his boat and state of nudity with as much freedom from embarrassment as Adam ever did. The Azor"s passengers rallied at the sight of tbe clothes, and crowded around the visitors, who held out their bands and suffered them to be shaken, and looked around them with natural surprise. The four strangers then went aft to the quarter deck, where the old mau announced himself to the captain as a pilot. I think if all the humbugs in the world could be collected and settled somewhere, that George Curtis would be king by natural right. As be did on all occasions, he eagerly embraced this opportunity of making an ass of himself, approached this old man with a book about tbe size of a common ledger, and proceeded to ask him questions aud recoid the answers, as if he were taking a deposition. The pilot spoke a sort of cross between a Frenchman's English and a negro's, and answered the inquiries of "Pills" (Curtis' soubriquet) in a helpless sort of way, while his companions stared in open-eyed wonder. The captain Anally got the victim away, and he proceeded to attend to piloting, while his three friends (one of whom was his son) wandered about, being so beset with questions and stared 'at that two of them finally took refuge in the rigging, where one immediately took off all his clothes again. The boat was meantime towed astern, and its solitary occupant proceeded to light a chalk pipe and smoke to the great delight of all be? holders. The steamer passed us and went on in, and we dropped anchor about 100 yards from the landing. Very soon the lights in the town began to glimmer out, and a beautiful effect they produced shin? ing brightly up the dark side of the hill from the waters edge. Soon after dark the deputy harbormas? ter came out in a neat little gig, pulled by two black oarsmen in sailor dress. Ho himself was a tall, well-made and good-looking quadroon, looking very officer-like, in spotless duck pantaloons and vest wiih brass buttons, loose blue coat and official cap. A3 he went into the captain's cabin tbe passengers clust? ered about the windows and knocked their heads together, trying to get a glimpse of this prodigy, and discussing warmly and audibly whether he was a "yellow fellow," or merely a white man tanned by tropical suns. The officer asked a few questions as to what was wanted, &c., touched his cap, and went back over the side. He was very respectful and polite, and didn't "put on style" half as much as the aver? age Circuit Court tipstaff does. "Pills" had penned the pilot's son up in a corner, and proceeded to converse with him on the same principle pursued by Mrs. Somebody in "Little Dorrit," with a for? eigner?talking broken English. Said Pills: "Me sabe one time several years ago, one, two, three much good men from here, and me sabe a man, bo call Mr. Hazely, who was educated here." Then, his victim having made some remark in perfectly intelligible English, said Pills: "J8h, yea yes, oui, cee, me understand," evidently desiring to impress us all with his profound knowledge of the African dialect. At about 6 o'clock the deputy harbor? master returned, bringing with him a black policeman in a trim blue jacket with red trimmings and pewter buttons, armed with a familiar-looking club, wear? ing a guardsman's cap, aud evidently a perfect martinet in the matter of disci? pline, as he immediately proceeded to pace the gangways, never for a moment unbending, replying to all puestions with a stiff, official bow, holding his head up, and invariably touching his cap to the captain, mates and I. He is a West Indian, and speaks excellent English. He was put in charge, and the pilot and crew were ordered to stay aboard the Azor during the night. As I write, 10 p. m., the lights are gleaming ashore, and voices come now and then from land or passing boats which can be plainly dis tinguished as'negroes, speaking negro. I could shut my eyes and easily imagine myself on the Battery in Charleston, with bouts from the shore going by. The weather is delightful, there being a stiff .ica breeze. May 29, 11 p. ??.?Have been ashore all day "knocking around," and my note-, book and head are both in an appalling state of plethora, from incidents, pictures, figures, &c. The captain has decided in view of the uncertain state of the weather and his passengers' health to be towed to Monrovia by the mail steamer. We will leave here at an early hour to-morrow. May 30?Off this morning in tow of steamer Ethiopia. Will be in Monrovia in thirty hours, (D. V.) from whence I will date my next. A. B. Williams. Good Gkit.?At the commencement of the present term of the medical col? lege, a young student from the West started for Kcokak to attend. Arriving at Albia he found his means would not be sufficient, and he footed it the reit of the way to this city. He paid in full for his tuition, and then had just seven dol? lars left. Three of these were laid out for a quarter's rent for a room, in which was nothing but his books. No bucket, no stove, no furniture, no bed, not even a blanket, and only four demars to live on. In a month or so he procured a blanket, and considered himself fortu? nate His money was laid out in corn mcai, and twice a week he would go down by the pork houses and make up a lot of corn bread, bake it, and bring it to his room, and on corn bread alone he has been subsisting during the eutire term. He has worked and earned five dollars since he has been here, and on this and the seven he had left, after paying his college fees, twelve dollars in all, he has subsisted. During all this time no one has known how he subsisted, and the only remark? able thing that, has been noticed about him is, that he is one of the brightest students in the class, and bids fair to graduate with the highest honors. His condition would not have been found out had it not been that a gentleman rented a room in the same building in which the student's was located, and, by making his acquaintance, ascertained how he had been living. The student is a bright, frank, fearless fellow, who asks no favors, has paid in advance for everything he has got, is not; afraid of difficulties, aud if he proves not a bright and shining light in his pro? fession?if he is not heard from as an eminent physician and surgeon, ere many years roll around, we lose our gues3.?Keokuk (Iowa) Conttitution. The Marriage of a Woman to a Woman.?Maraocy Hughes was mar? ried in September last to a person who was known as Samuel M. Pollard. Her relatives opposed the match, and she; eloped aud was married without their knowledge, and a short time after their marriage Pollard confessed to her that; he was a woman ; that she had trouble with her relatives in the East; and lost her property and assumed the disguise of a man for the reason that avenues for making money would be open to her in that character which would be closed to her as a woman. Pollard has never given her any particular reason for do? ing her this great wrong, but is believed to have been actuated by a foolish pride in appearing in the character of a mar? ried man. The victim was ashamed to acknowledge that she had been so im? posed upon, and Bhrunk from admitting the truth. Pollard, without actually, threatening her life, repeatedly intimated that it would be bad for her if she ex? posed her, and she kept silence until a fortnight ago, when ber aunt got an inti? mation of the fact and questioned her closely, and she related to her the whole story. The victim says that the woman's real name is Sarah M. Pollard, and that her trunk is filled with feminine apparel.: A complaint was filed yesterday by J. C. Howerton, accusing Pollard of perjury in swearing when be took out the mar? riage that he was a male. Where the Paths Met.?The re? cent Southern General Conference re? ceived two fraternal delegates from the African Methodist Episcopal Church, who, in our hearing, made a remarkable speech, each. The second speaker, Johnson, uttered one of the most beau? tiful extempore passages we have ever heard. Said be, in effect: "Brethren, there happened in the ante room just now a circumstance I shall ?ever forget. Ycu remember that David in the Cave of Adullam sighed for water from the wc 1 of Bethlehem, and that three young men, at the peril of their lives, brought the longed-for water which David would net, after all, drink, since it had been procured at the peril of life. He therefore poured out the water as a libation before the Lord." Said the speaker : "When I entered this room I was fevered, and, like David, longed for water. A gentleman took a goblet to serve me; during his absence I learned that he was the Governor of Georgia. Realizing the chasm between us, I thought of David, nnd taking the goblet from his hand I begged that I might pour out the water as a libation forever between his race and mine." We never saw a bouse more stricken, thrilled and melted by speech from any human orator.?Northwestern Christian' Advocate. Another Fertilizer.?A reliable and intelligent farmer who farmed for many years in Middle Florida, declared to us a few days since that the most profitable fertilizer he ever used was corn fodder. He discovered it in this man? ner : During the late war, as purchasing agent for the Confederate Government, he purchased a large quantity of corn fodder, which he stacked for two months in the fall, on a ."mall plat of wretchedly poor but clay subsoil land. After the fodder was removed he planted the place in vegetables, putting in and covering the shattered fodder left upon the ground. He was astonished at the change in the soil, and afterwards repeated the exper? iment to his entire satisfaction. He is now a convert to corn fodder as a fertili? zer, and thinks that at fifty cents per hundred or ten dollars per ton, it is far cheaper and better than any commercial fertilizers now in use. Wo give hfjs views that others may try the experiment and prove for themselves whether he is right or wrong.?Savannah Nnvs. Common Sense Decision. ? His Honor Judge Pressley, in charging the jury on Monday, in the case of an as? sault and battery on the road in front of a mau's house, expounded some law as to the privileges of persons on the high? way, which may bo well for all to know. It is simply a right of way?a right to the use of such highway for purposes of travel, etc. The Boil is the property of the man owning the adjacent lands, and any one becoming boisterous or making himself otherwise objectionable in front of a man's house, in a public road, after being ordered to leave, may be ejected as a trespasser by the use of such force only as is necessary to get him way.?Dar? lington Newt. It is the only medicine I would give to my Baby, mother said, speaking of Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup. At all drug stores, 25 cents. Cabbage Worms.?Mr. J. Y. Whitted tell) us he tried last summer, with good effe:t, a mixture of three parts of un slacked lime aud one part fine salt, dust? ed on cabbage plants when the dew was on in the morning. The worms were completely conquered. Last year was a remarkably fruitful year for worms, and cabbage plants looked ns if they were riddled with buck-shot. The above rem ;dy is cheap and simple, and ought to have a trial by every gardener.?Hills boro Recorder. P.ioof of Affection*.?They were dispnting as to who had the richest fathir, and the smaller one finally flew the crack and called: ""Veil, I've got the best big sister, any? how!" "I guess not, I've got the bosscst sister in Detroit. She'll stay home any day to let mc wear her shoes to the circus!" "My sister will do more than that!" put in the little one. "She'll take the strings out of her corset for me to spin my lop with; and if I lose it she'll stay home from a party and never give me a wore, of sass! Is your 3ister any bosser than that?" The big boy had to take a back seat.? Detroit Free Press. A Winter Peach.?The PetcrHburg (Va?) Rural Messenger thus describes this fruit, which, it says, originated with Mr. James Hawkins, of Dinwiddie, Va., before the war, and which is called the "Hawkins Winter Peach." The gentle? man has had for some years trees in full bearing: "The fruit does not begin to ripen un? til the leaves have fallen from the tree iu November; is in no way injured by the severe frosts of that scascn, and hangs on the trees until it assumes a beautiful rod cheek. When ripe they may be picked and put away to be carried to market at leisure?say any time in No? vember or early December. The fruit is large (the first important item in a mar? ket peach), color whitish, with red cheek, flesh .whitish, rich, juicy and pleasant. It will keep far into December without rotting. It can be handled pretty much the sime as apples." Frozen to Death.?A miner in the Black Hills, writing to a friend in this city, tells of a horrible reminder of the fearful snow storms of last winter and of the perils of those who were caught out and lost their way on the plains. He says that recently, while he and two others were crossing the country, they came upon the skoleton of a horse within which was the skeleton of a man, with the grinning skull looking out at them from between the ribs of the animal, like a prinoner peering through the bars of his tell. The two skeletons told the whol; story. The man had killed his horse, cut him open, and crawled inside of him, thinking to thus escape perish perishing of cold, but the flesh of animal froze solid and the man was as much a prisoner as if he had been shut in by walls of iron. The wolves and carrion birds had stripped the greater part of the flesh from both skeletons. The miner concludes bis description by saying: "It was it sight I shall never forget. I can see it now whenever I close my eyes."? Virginia City Enterprise. Yoong Men Beware.?The following admonition should be read by many young men and a few old ones: Never use a lady's name in an improper place, at any improper time, or in mixed com? pany. Never make assertions about her that you think tobe untrue, or allusions, that she herself would blush to hear. When you meet with men who do not scruple to use a woman's name in a reck? less manner, shun them ; they are the very vrorst members of the community; men lost to every sense of honor, every feeling of humanity. Many a good and worthy woman's character has been forever ruined and her heart broken by a lie manufactured by some villain, and repeated when it should not have been, and i n presence of those whose little I judgment could not deter them from circuit.ting the foul and bragging report A slander is soon pregnated, and the smallest thing derogatory to a woman's character will fly on the wings of the wind, und will grow and magnify as it cir? culated, until its monstrous weight crushes the poor unconscious victim. Respect the name of a woman. Your mother and sisters are women, and as you would have their fair names untar? nished aud their lives unembittered by the slanderous, bitter tongue, heed the ill your own words may bring upon the mother, the sister or the wife of uome fellow-creature. Effects entirely disproportional to cause are frequently induced by the simplent circumstances. A little pimple, indicative of the beginning of deterio? ration of the blood, will, by neglect of preventive means, develop into the loath? some Ulcer and sap health, or probably destroy life. Dr. Bull's Blood Mixture prevents such catastrophes. ? New York city has a club named the "Full Bearded Company," consisting of forty members with beards raBging in length from two feot to four feet six inches. Whenever nnd Wherever 1/lscases of i choleraic type prcrail, or there is cause to apprehend a vlitlt from them, the system should b: toned, regulated and reinforced by a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Perfect di? gestion and a rogular habit of body are the best safeguard! against such maladies, and both are se? cured by this inestimable tonic and alterative The Bitters are also extremely serviceable in rem? edying sich disorders. If promptly taken in billons colic, diarrhoea and cholera morbus, the disease is usually frustrated. In diarrhoea cases, it la only necessary to restore the tone of the re? laxed bow els, and this Is one of the specific effects of this medicine. Wind on tho stomach, heart? burn, biliousness, nausea, headache and other symptoms of disturbance In the gastric and hepatic regions are also speedily relieved by this excellent Tcraedy.
