Tk? season is am at hand wixti tlte Jfinrod btop hi* gun on (lie rack and call in kla dogs. In fact, the open aeaaoa for tlv bunting of partridges and doves lias already passed, llunters are advisrd to get a oopy or tbe laws aa contained in tlie aouual report of tbe Audubon society of South Carolina. A persual ot tbese paragraphs will prevent many buntere who are now iu Ignorance of tlie laws from meeting with embarrassing situations. The game wardens are unusually Vigilant in protecting the birds of Jticbland and otlur countiea of tlie state and lucky indeed will be tbe poacher who escapes the watchful eye of tlie wardens and their assis tants. Prosecution will be vigorous in every instance where a hunter is caught with the goods, and tbe law is no respecter of persons, either where the offender acts through iguoranee or just for tbe fuu of evading the law. Tbe following paragraph which is taken from the game laws covers the olosed season- for the most popular game which tbe hunter seeks: ??It ahall be unlawful to shoot any deer be tween tlie first of January and the first day of November, or any par tridge or wild turkey between the first pt March and the fiftreiith day of No vember or any dove between the 16th day of January and the first day of iJeptember.*' Tbe season has been unsatisfactory to bird hunters. Laat spriug uiucli rain fell and many young birds were drowned in the river bottoms during the freshet. Thoae that escaped this danger were stunted in their growth. ft Lacate Mb ICfreUry of the Bowery Mlaaion Te)U at Efforts to Help Men." New York, Veb. ST.?Farm job* Id Aba Wot and the crying demand for ifrioulluptt labor is a myth and a di lution and a (nare, according to J >hn C, ?arJ, firnanoaal secretary of the Jlowery Mission, lie declares that While lie receives countless newspaper clippings and otlter communications proporting to sbow that farmers ?m btdly hi need of lielp and ready to em ploy tbe idle men of tlie city, the mis sion is unable to locate tlie address or ?etany defluite information. Discussing this interesting bit of news bearing on the labor problem jind the unemployed, Mr. Karl said: '?This is a trouble we are constantly having. Western newspapers print stories that help is badly needed in Aertaiu sections of the country. We Aiffer honest, industrious, sober men ?rho are willing to take any kind of work since they have been out of em ployment for months and then wv Qud that the work is not there. During 1008 1 wrote the Governor ?f every State in the Union, offering to supply help if he would send the addresses of fsrmers who wanted hands. From these lettirs I did not get a single reply to show that there was any great demand for farm hands." FJNE6IFT FOR TEDDY.

FlUki excited tjyr the p?bli?tUot of* bows ite*W Thorsdsy to tbrUtato, furnished by lift Bind* ter correspondent, and headed, "Mr. B. ?. Um bono by tht UwImj Pamily," ? reporter for The People celled tithe Cam. don Hoiei which is conducted b) Mr. E. J. Lindssy to secure the version of bin self sod cons of the Mttor so drsstlosllj treated of In the Lone article. The fol lowing is -the result of the in terview, the most of the infor mation being furnished by Mr. A. L. Lindsay, s son of the pro prietor. It seems that a Mr. J. L. Smith went to the Hotel Camden ou the sight of Wednesday, Febraary 24tb, arriving on a late train, and registered. At the time, Mi". Liudsay Sr., was at supper, and the two sons were un avoidably absent from the office for a few minutes. Becoming impatient, Mi*. Smith erased his name from the register and went to the Simmous house. Mr. A. L. Lindsay was soon after in formed of the occurrence and phoned Smith to please step down to the Hotel Camden and let him explain the matter. Smith's re ply to that was, that it did not matter as he didn't wuut to stop at his d d house anyway. Mr. A. L. Lindsay persisted in his request to be permitted to make an explanation but was cut short by Smith with the re mark that he didu't think lie (Liudsay) was a geutlemau. This naturally irritated young Lind say, and he told Smith sharply that if he would come on the street aud repeat that remark one or the other of them would get whipped. Sometime after ward Smith wulked iuto the Hotel Camden, and accosting A. L. Lindsay in a belligerent man ner, asked if 'lie was tho man who said he would give him a whipping if lie repeated the re. mark he, made over the tele, phone. Lindsay replied that he was, aud realising that iu this case especially (Smith being a much heavier man) the first blow would be half the battle, immediately slapped Smith's spectacles off, which ended the affray as iar as Smith was cou cerned as he immediately left the hotel,in search of the police, but just as he was leaving, a Mr. R. A. Lane and a Kir. John At kinson rushed in, aud Lane with out reason or warniug attacked A. L. Lindsay, and in the geueral mix up which followed, Atkinson became involved, and struck A. L. Lindsay a savage blow in the face while he was being held by his father, theu leaving the hotel. About th(U time Mr. C. P. Lindsay, another son of the pro prietor, came into the room and luquircd of Lane what he had to do with it, having reference to the matter between Smith and A. L. Liudsay. Ho received iu reply a blow that knocked liiin down after which Lane ran out iuto the street followed by C. P. Lindsay as soon as he regained his feet when the tight was re sumed. Upon the combatents being separated, Lano ran to his boarding house being fol lowed almost to the gate by A. L. Lindsay, who considered him self greatly outraged by the as saults made upon liiin. This ended the difficulty. Tho statement in The State of the 4th, inst, that Mr. Lane committed no aggression in the first place, but simply called for his mail is absolutely untrue as Latin called for no mail. Equally false is the assertion that Lane was held by Mr. R. J. Lindsay while the boys kicked him in the stomach. As a matter of fact, Laue was not kicked in the stomach at all, and equally as a matter of fact, Mr. Lindsay throughout the progress of the entire uffair, actod solely and entirely the part of peace* maker. It is all poppy-cock and moonshine for Lane to say that he was compelled to sum mon a physician because of Ins severe injuries. The physician summoned says he treated Lane simply for nervousness, which nervousness had so far worn off 011 the ofteruoou of the trial in thq morning that he was unable to attend the recorder's court, becaute of hit tpriout injuria, us to 4o all outward ?p pMMOO% MM lb* wot? fcr VMT, which tu la feet tte?q?? ditioo of all the other priwlfl^ Oor entire community Um nolorhiMlt affair, aad I more tbaa the llaasrs.

They (the Liudsay's) realis ing that some injury may be done the Camden Hotel through the roaliguity of those who pre-! cipitated the brawl and their fneuds, take this opportuuity of placing before an unprejudiced public this true version of the affair. It hus been their constant aim to give the travelling public the best commercial hoi el ever ee tablislied in Camden, aod they have always endeavored to treat their guesCs wit,h courtesy, cor diality and consideration. Domesticated Fowls. Thinking that a short history of some of the most popular breeds of fowis will prove interesting to a I ante number of the renders of your most valuable magazine, who are amateur breeders, and who have, owing to the prevailing poultry craze,been led by populnr impulse to invest iu a business of which they liaye neither knowledge nor experience, and who have ^oue an J bought indiscriminately an over stock of inferior apecimens of several varieties and now find that they liave no, or very few buyers for their goods, and that their stock, instead of meriting ureiniiiuis iu the show room, as they had hoped, are paflsed by on' every hand, and, instead of improving, seem nil the while to be retrograding, 1 will proceed to show through what a liazec vista of tune some of the popu lar varieties have been brought fro an the jungle, slawly, but steadily and surely, by the wisdom and perseverence of men, to the front iu qualities of usefulness mid beaut3*. Ttit* domestication of fowl* ?? traced by cirjuuistances to Buruiah and the countries adjacent thereto. It is tbe tradition of the Chinese that they re ceived their poultry from the west about the year 1400, IS, C. By the In stitutes of Maiiu, tiie date of which is variously assigned 1200 to 800 B. C., the tame fowl ii? forbidden though the wild is allowed to be eateu?showing that its domestication was accom plished when they were written. The bird is not mentioned in the Old Tes tament nor by Homer, though he has Cock as the name of a man, nor Is it figured on ancient Kgjptiau monu ments, l'indas mentions it, and Aristophanes calls it the Persian bird, thus indicating it to have been intro duced to Greece through Persia, and it is figured on Babylonian cylinders between the 6th and 7tli centuries, B. C. It is sculptured on the Lyctan marbles in the British Museum, 000. and Blytlie remarks that it is there represented with th? appearance of a trU3 jungle-fowl for none of tlie wild Galli have the upright bearing of tne tame breed, but carry tlieir tail in a urooping position. Of the genus Galli ot ornithologists, there are four well marked species known. The first of these is the Red Jungle-Fowl of the greater part of India, called by many writerH, Bunkiva, which Is according to Darwin and Blytlie, the prteeiit stock of the domesticated races. The number of distinctive breeds of the domesticated fowl has very greatly increased of late years, owing to the emulation excited by poultry shows. Darwin in his Varietiet of Animait etc., under Domestication, enumerated thir teen principal breeds with numerous sub-varieties. but several very dis tinctive races have come into notice during the Inst ten years, varieties having been formed by careful selec tions that may ba relleu on for repro ducing their own distinctive |>eculiari ties in tlie dependents, and hence con stituting what are regarded by fan ciers as pure breeds. The classifica tion of the known varieties is not an easy tcsk. Kach is capable of inter breeding with every other aud so great an intermixture of local races has tnken place that the arrangement of the breed is very difficult. As this article has grown tuo long now to be interesting, I will leave the classified arrangement of the breeds for *an otlier chapter. Vftawc B. Lbmkn. Nlglit On Distil Mountain.
