No Pass but CoMhlerable Feathers in the ' City by tbe 8ea on the 28tk aad S9tb Ultimo. 4.. [Special Correspondence of Tub Pkopi.b.] CllARLKtrroN, 8. C., April 2D. There has just been decided in this city a hotly contested issue between Char leston game cocks on tho one side and Athens, Ga., and Barnwell, 8. C., birds on the other. Cliarlsnton has successful ly held tho lists for years against all com ers ard Beversl times both Athens and Barnwell have been compelled to stiike their colors in • main of cocks. But though whipped, emulating the gallant spirit of their bird* they would not t-Dy whipped, and in the 1 itc toughly contwt- iul battle tbe allies not only wiped out former defeats but administered such a drubbing to tbe Charleston birds as the most sanguine cockers hereabout despair of ever fully avenghrg. Out of nineteen battle* the allies won sixteen, one was a draw and Charleston a*.cured two. The cliHinpiou of Chariest>n yclept “Cy clone’' fell against the champion of Barn well called * I'indar’’ and a most terrific fight was tbe result—the Barnwell bird winning, however, after seven minutes incessant fighting. The result caused t noted punster lo say that “henceforth a ‘cyclone’ need have no terrors for a Barn well man who could meet it with a “Pin dar.” I urn informed that some of the lovers of thf once Royal sjairt in their enthusiasm betted consklcrable amounts, aud currency was not tlie only commodi ty wagered onjhc issue. Hat*, gloves, necktie* and overcoats were most freely risked. I heard of one misgu ded spec-* ulator deploring, after the buttle, the loss of a cheiiahed saw mill. Aud what make* it tbe more to bo Inmcutcd be was a Barnwc'l man whose judgment was so defective that he chose to back the Char leston ccek* against the repreflys^i - *■*■!. 11 - ;1 ^1>i Trcck Fartunc* The ttnek farm ers in southern and south wcetnn Goor gi* Rfip, oiltivRtiug M large an acreage as Uft The Albany Xcweand iaer.iajl that in the neighborhood city there are about three hnn- drod accff devq^ed to wsteruiolons 3 and beans, aqUasbei and cucumbers are also largely planted. The apmo paper says that altliough the season has been some what unfavorable to rapid growth, the melon nod squash vinca promise an abund& yield. As w-c have said heretofore tbe suc cess of this new aud premising interest is almost wholly in the hands of the rail road managers of tke State. They have it in their power to ioetrr the business and thereby make nmuey during the usu ally dull summer months, and they have it iu their power to strangle it by excess-, ive freight charges. J’hii is a matter tliat'Tias ncvcr received<*Te attention and study of the railroad managers that it de serves. it it true they have cut Tates to sonic extent and have manifested a desire to encourage the truck farmers, but their desire has not ns yet taken the din pc of & systematic . purpose to lend themselves thoroughly Au building up a new industry. There are millions in it for the railroads, not this year or even next year, but in the future, and this is the fact Hint should present itself to tlie minds of the manager*. The railroads are permanent institutions. They are built tor all time, and that is a foolish' and a shortsighted policy which jer- sutidos them that it is their duty to squeeze for the niece! in sight rather than prepare for the thousands and m.l- lions that successful tmek farming in Georgia would plncc in their coffers.— Atlanta Constitution. ; .V,ay n J JC^m. ■ vf-- Facts Ab >ut Pkach TuSe*—Young peach tree* should not b« allowed to beai benvily; Rmy must flrat have strong root and vigorous growth Young peach tiers like young grape vim a will bear themselves to death or to early decny, if ih- y b*ve not strong Rod long roots t i find and supply pro per nourishment for fruit l-enrlng. If the tree is sickly, examine the body next to the root for the bore worm; if the sign is there,out into the hole and run a wire In to kill thfe worm; thin pui licit earth or manure with u liber al sprinkling of anhes about tbe roots, and mulch tbe ground to hold the moisture during the summer months. But after all, tbe greatest enemy to the peach orchards iu this latitude is the scorching sun on the body of the trees on tbe south and south west aide. Examine any old orchard in your neighborhood and you will find every tree having its body<or main stems ex posed to the hot suo on tho south or south west aide, dead or dying. When found, make a note of it, and teii your neighbors. That is tbe reason that orcbardUts, even iu cool climates, nev er trim their trees high from the ground. Tbe great point is to shelter the body of the tree from tho tcorcli- iug sun on tho south and south west sides. Never cut a limb or shoot from the body on the hot sunny side. It is then foie best to j taut tho treee near together on the north east and south west line, lea\ing gteater distance apart tbe other way.

He is in favor of es- tublishiug the whipping post or the chain gang for the punishment if criminals, the repeal or amendment of the Lien law aud the amendment of the Homestead law “in stringent terms.” The-priucipal plank, however, in tbe platform of Mr. Filgiim seem* to be a reduction iu (lie pay of members of the Legislature from $.’> to $3.’>0 u day. His tOalu argument in favor ofsoeh a reduction is that “ante bellum members only wore paid three dollars per day for llteij services:” 1 Mr. Pilgiiiu is not the only office sector iu the State Who hits proposed a reduction of the pay of members ot tbe Lcgt.-luture. I It is is a favorite idea with embryonic reformers who want to influence the popular vote by the cry of “economy.” But the people, we hope, have very little use ior cheap men w ho are to do dear work, and the value oi the services of members of the Ld^iala- tore is not to be meosttred by the pay (hat they received twenty-five years ago. Legislation was a situp'c matter iu those days and doubtless sold at 10 cents a piece. The people, wc think, arc not in favor of a repeal of either the Lieu law or the Homestead law, and ihcre would be very faw votes iu South Carolina to-duv for <« •> tho establishment of the whipping post. Theehanoes are that Mr. Pilgrim uud all the other candidates who stand on his platform will feci very much like pil grims and strangers after ^bc nomina tions have been made and the elections held.—News and Courier.

With all these odd* against the Atuer ieoa girl, it is strange that the tariff docs not protect her. Why should foreign girls be admitted free of duty? Are they raw material? Not they!
