A WOMAN .Alabama "Woman F Farm I Alabama has a woman farmer who ewos aud manages a plantation of 1,000 acres successfully and who is perhaps the leading woman cotton planter in the country. She lives at Decatur and is one of tb 2 wealthiest and most active citizens of that sec tion. She is Mrs. Lelia Seton Wild er, and she i known throughout her own Ctate as well as in other Southern States. * Mrs. Wilder has written for the New York Herald an interesting ac count of her farming methods and about her plantation near Decatur. Mrs. .Wilder says: "les, F ?ive on a plantation and manage it all myself, so that if things doVt go right I am denied that wo man's privilege of saying "I told you so." As to how I came to do it, I simply drifted into it. I had never lived ia the country in my life until joy marriage, but the freedom of it, its likeness to the landed estates of England appealed to me, and I enjoy ed it thoroughly. My husband lived only twenty-two months, and I went back to town, renting the place. I .got tired of that, though, and deter mined to go back and have an ideal country borne, where I could enter tain my friends in the fall. The rest X)f the year I spent in traveling. I rented all my land to tenants, doing no farming myself, but these years vere valuable. I got more and more ,i interested in the life and, naturally, was bound to learn a good deal about "Two years ago I was offered a body of land which had been in the or ginal plantation of my husband's, but bad been sold off. I decided to buy; this meant that I could no longer go on in the shiftless manner I had been. I ' was going to invest a good deal of money, and I must make it pay. My attorneys and all my friends advised ' Against; the buying, saying there was no money in farming; that I would have to have an overseer, and that would take all the profits, etc. ; but I went on, and made my purchase, and also made up my mind to succeed. I must succeed. I would not stand a confessed failure, and so I went to vork. I determined to more than just get along. I intended to make a model place that would not be known as most widows farms are-by the j gates on one hinge and the poor fen- i ces. j So I began by putting the best of j wire fences around the plantation, j I have by now put up several miles, j and am an expert. I know how much j . wire tc buy for a mile, what is a hog proof fence, the best posts to use, size, etc. I have gone right out and seen every panel of fence put up. Then I have had new roads worked on j the place, under my own eyes. I have had four new cabins built, all done by the tenants on the place, with no overseer but myself. "Perhaps my most fortunate quali fication for the work I do is the faculty of managing these negroes. I think I can get more out of them than ordi nary. -"My plantation contains l,ti00 acres, near Decatur, my bou?dary line being that of the town. It lies for a mile and a half along the Tennessee River and the same distance along Flint Uiver, a- small stream running into the Tennessee. There are about j " 700 acres in cultivation,, the balance in timber of magnificent first growth hard wood, principally white oak. We raise cotton principally, but on account of our proximity to town, corn, hay, some oats and, each tenant, sorghum cane for his "long sweeten ing" during the year. I now culti vate about 100 acres myself, with hir ed help; the balance is rented on what is known as the tenant system, only as the land is so near market and very fertile I command a money rent in stead of a share crop, receiving for upland $3 and river bottom 34- per acre. Each tenant takes, to usc a technical expression. > a one, two or three-horse crop, according to the amount of stock the man has. A horse is supposed to be able to tend 25 acres. I have twenty families ou the place, but they are not all tenants, as some of them are hired by the year. Kach tenant has a cabin, garden spot and pasture free of rent and his firewood. Negroes are not at all migratory. Many of the younger men have been born on the place, and some have been here since the surrender. They look on it as much their home as mine. One, for instance, displeased mc this summer, and I told him he would have to go to town and could not live out here any longer. Then 1 went off for a month. On ruy return almost the first one 1 saw was "Bud," and one of the othor mon said: ''Ob, Mrs. Wilder, he's chopping wood. 'Bud' said he had nowhere to go, this was all the home he had and we just told him to stay.' Of course I was glad, for t;Bud' was here wheo I came, a bride. 11 try to cultivate the feeliug amone: them of the- English PLANTER. 1 anter Manages Her rlerself. tenacity of hoJding their land for life and leaving their leases to their chil dren. A man takes better care of laud that he expects to continue to live on, and, maybe, his children to cultivate after bim. At the present low price of cotton its cultivation bas become a problem, but with the teuant system I do not see how we can stop it. It is the only crop safe for your rent. I ara trying to have each tenant raise hi? own meat iu hogs aud enough corn and hay for himself and stock. This, with bis gardm, should make cotton his sur plus ero,. I think it all nonsense to talk about the South cutting dowu her amount of bales one-half and makiug cottou ten ceuts. The miuute we quit raising it and cotton goes up Egypt and India will raise it iu large quanti ties. What we want to do is raise as much as we eau to the acre, but have it our surpl.s crop. This, with the opeuiug of the markets of the east, will give as better prices. I intend, however, to experiment with raising hogs on a large scale. I thiuk there is bier money in it if one can keep cholera away,, and with the large rauge I have in the "Big Woods"' 1 think the danger of that small. I waut to raise iu quantities to ship by the car load. OF coarse, the busy time of year on a plantation is the fall. Then the cotton is being picked and ginned, the t nant is getting ready to pay his rent, and here is where the beauty of cotton comes in. If your tenant has raised enough to pay you you can sleep easy, for he caunot run off with that. However, if he bas only got j corn, you have to watch pretty close I ly, or he gets it off in small quanti ties, and then you are left on the rent. However, I have an excellent set of tenants, and also am a very : good collector. I seem to have some quality which makes my tenants pay. No matter what comes or goes, if the crop is made I get my rent. Saturday afternoon is paying off day for the cotton pickers. They pick all week, each night having their Baskets weighed, and Saturday it is all counted up and given them. Hardly any power ean get work out of a negro Saturday afternoon, so the week's work closes at noon. I am on my horse nearly every day seeing that the cotton is being picked as rapidly as possible. In the spring I also ride constantly over the fields to see that the crop is being put in properly and in time. The negroes are very proud of having no overseer, and take a great pride in giving me all the help they can, always, though, with a sort of an air that a woman farming is a great joke. I have their confidence thoroughly by the strictness with which I keep my books. Each tenant has his account in my plantation book, and the night they come to set tle up is a great affair. They bring their books along, for if they cannot write they all have some child that can, and we go over the year, take out their work account and square their rent before I sign contracts with them for another year. I am very proud of the way my in fluence extends, even in my absence. I go sometimes two months at a time, and every negro feels that he has the honor of the place in his hands. My head man, whom X leave in charge, works a good deal harder than when I am at home, I tell him. I am clear ing one hundred acres of land, and have a wood yard in town to sell the wood off, and the handling never ceases while I am off. Of course, but for thc fact that I can get oft from the whole thing every once in a while I could not stand it, as it is a great re sponsibility, and I would not advise a Woman, unless almost made of iron, to undertake it. LELIA SETO.N WILDEU. Headed His Company In Fine Style. Dave Bowiand was a high private in au Alabama '"critter company'" during the war, and sometimes was carried into the hottest sort of a tight when a charge was ordered, because his horse would run wheu the others ran, no matter how hard he pulled at the reins. One day thc eaptaiu dismounted his company and ordered the men "to charge the enemy afoot." With a big yell away went thc boys, but they soon got far ahead of Dave, for he hadn't the spirit of his horse. Dave began to think of the cursings he was to get from the captain and the rail ings from the boys, when, looking ahead, he saw them coming back in full retreat. Davesoys he "immedi ately recovered his courage." and wheeling around, shouted out: ''Conic on boys," and then outran them aa badly as they had him a few moments before. When they reached the cover of thc breastworks have sauntered up to his captain and inquired: "Dido t 1 lead that retreat in fine style, cap?" ?-lt ie- calculated that in the cn-j tire world f>7 people die every minute. i Tho Days or '03. Middletown (Gum.) Penny Presa. Janies Campbell, of Charleston, S. fl., is a brother of Alexander Camp bell, of this city. He i?* also the only living perron whose picture is in the "relic room ' in Russell Library Hall. He was a lieute aut in a Confederate battery. Alexander Campbell was ou the other side, being a lieutenant in the 79th New York volunteers. At the time the following letter was writ teu he was color sergeant of the regi ment. The letter which has been framed and deposited in the relic room, together with the picture of the wiirer, explains itself fully, and is as follow*: ?JAMES ISLAND June 18, 1863. Dear Brother : I wa?? astonished to hear from the prisoners captured at the battle of the 16ih instant that you was c?dor bearer of oue of the regi ments which assaulted the battery at this point the other day. When I first heard it I looked over the field fur you; when I met one of the wounded of your regiment and he told me that re believed that you were safe. 1 was on the breastworks dur ing the whole engagement, doing my best to beat you, but I hope that >ou and I w?ll never again meet face to face, bitler enemies on the battlefield; but if such should be the ca^e, you have but to discharge your duty to your cau*e, for I can assure you I will strive to discharge my duty to my couutry and my cause. In the late battle the killed on your side was very heavy in proportion to the wounded, and for the forces engaged the slaughter terrible. Most of the wounded are doing well. Col. Morri son I know nothing of; he must have been killed. When you write North you will please let sister Ann know that I am still alive and in good health. I am very anxious to hear from her, but circumstances do not afford a chance. I will send this (open) by a flag of truce. Give lieutenant Walker my compliments. I am your brother, JAMES CAMPBELL. Brother John left here about two years ago. I have not heard from him since. James Campbell was in this city durin5 the past summer and visited the relic room with his brother. On Thursday there came from him, as a gift to the elie room, two one hundred pound conical shells, which were thrown into Ch rleston during the war by one of Gillmore's guns. Such relics as these are very hard to get now, and the curators of the museum appreciate very highly the courtesy of their Confederate com rade. Additions are being made to the museum daily. Blind in -Left Eye. An eminent citizen of Detroit called upon an eminent physician thc other day to consult him about his eyes. ''They seemed all right up to three or four days ago," said the eminent citizen, <lbut then I noticed that the left eye was failing." "Do you wear glasses?" asked the physician. ;'0h, yes." ' Let mc sec them ?" They were passed over, and after a brief inspection the physician broke into a hearty laugh. :;The trouble is with the left eye, eh ?" bc queried. ' Yes, sir." "No wonder.

Some are amenable to kind words, while nothing but the rod will hive any affect upon others. Children who must be ruled by the rod are the ei cepL'ou The majority of children will yield to kindness To begin with, children must not always be punished for everything they do wroug. The world is new to them, and they have everything to leam. Never punish a child for a first offense. Waich carefully for an op portuuity to correct him, but unln-s the offence is very bad do not reprove or correct him in the preseuce of strangers or friends. You must make up your mind to 3hut your eyes to hilf the mischievous things he does, but be on the alert to catch him in the act of actual wrongdoing. For a first offense you must be all gentleiie? and very patient Try to impress upou him that what he ha? done is very wrong and has displeased you. Talk kindly and firmly, and in a* simple words as possible go over it two or three times and make thc child thoroughly understand how much you feel hurt that he should have doue wrung. Never scold, nor be harsh, nor strike, however geutly. Simply give the child as sweet aud tender a lessou as possible by talking. This, if done properly, will be much more effective than a whipping. The offense may be repeated, but do not at once use the cane: It may have been an accident, aud you must remember that a child canuot retain things as an adult can. He may have forgotten, so be patient a little while longer, though perhaps a little more severe and impressive. If this fails and the offense is repeat ed wilfully, one must have recourse to the rod and rule the child by fear. - The Uuited States Department of Agriculture has, by experiments, found that the force of a growing pumpkin was sufficient to lift two and one-half tons, provided the weight is so placed as not to interfere with the growth or natural development of the vegetable. In London, a paving stone which weighed 500 pounds, and which was wedged in on all sides by other stones, was lifted up by a mushroom.

Diamonds Bronjrht In by an Unini> pectin^ Poxaenffer. They were talking of the $60.000 dia mond smuggling case, and many cari ons, bold and humorous cases of a simi lar-nature were recalled. One rr an who does odd jobs at detective work in the large department stores in the fall and winter seasons and has similar work in one of the Saratoga hotels in the sum mer was an interested listener until all had told their stories, and then, taking the half smoked cigar from his month, said: "I know of a big case in which the man who got the 'stuff' past the cus toms officer was ignorant of the crime and never made a cent by the operation. "It is well known that nearly all the big custom bouse seizures aro the result of tips given by enemies of the smug glers. Letters with either no signature or with manufactured names aro sont to the customs authorities with the in formation that John Smith or Mary Jones, passenger on a certain vessel, should bo watohed for diamonds, dress goods, laces or some other valuable ar ticle which Smith or Jones will try to get through without paying duty. Sev eral years ago a letter of that kind was received, and on the arrival of the steamer tho man was seen and his bag gage was carefully searched. Ho had declared a few Swiss watches and sume other articles of jewelry, but denied having anything else, and the closest search failed to reveal anything further. "A few'woeks later I heard the sequel to the story, and that's tho point I met a man whom I have known for years, who told me that he carno over on the sa mn ship with a diamond smog gier, and that he had helped 'do the job,' and the fact worried him. " 'We had taken the pilot aboard,' the man said, 'and everybody was mak ing preparations for landing. I had only a small trunk in my cabin, which was soon packed, and I went on dock to get a glimpse of the papers brought on by the pilot. One of our passengers, an elderly German, whom I had mot often in the course of the trip and who was known on board for his fondness for penuchle and his queer English, sidled un to nm. and we remained together most of the timo until we went ashore. Just as we were going he handed me a couple of canes and an old umbrella and asked mo to carry thom ashore because he had "zn much baggage" " 'Oar baggago was examined, and when we roached tho place beyond tho custom houso lino I happened to think that I had left the canes and umbrella behind. I ran back and found them on the floor in a baggage heap, tho umbrel la a little moro battered looking than it had been. AH wo parted my German friend handod me one of the canes and 'said, "Bring dot to my hotel und I show you somet'ing, " and he gave me tho namo of a hotel in Fourth avenue much frequented by Germans. A fow days later I called there and saw tho man. Ho was in high spirits, glad to seo me and to ronow our friendship. Ho told me that ho would leave town thu next day, but would look me up whon he came again. I bad already waid good by when my host happened to remember chat bo wanted to "show me ?something," and ho went to a corner of tho room and brought ont tho bat tered umbrella. "Ho unscrewed tho little ivory bun dle and showed mo that tho rod was u tube. Then 1m took from au inner pocket u loather wallet, opened it and took out a number of tissue paper parcels, each ono of which contained a number of diamonds. Tho winks and smiles of tho wily German told tho rest, and I knew that I had carried ashore and come dan gerously near losing ;< big consignment of contraband goods." "A lung time afterward it became well established itt customs circles-that the m :n with the Swiss watches and tho man with tho rickety umbrella were one and the same, and that despite the information given to the customs department tho goods came itt free of duty.
