PUBLISHED EVERY TUESDAY. ? unst'it IPTKON tH.no PKIi YEAR UPON A TIME." by mary k. miller. luly in February, there came g the Cutakills a marvellously .tiful snowstorm. It gave the . sleighing of the winter. It dls ed all out-door tilings so comically t not only all the country boys and Ig woro laughing, but the busy | otTTeiV and grandmothers wont out f-doors to see the masquerading. Annpa lor instance, looked like men ?tuck fast in the snow, with towering caps, and one arm oxtendod for help. Gateposts were. capped like sentinels standing guard over pathways lost under the snow. There was not a uu of wind, and as the sun came up and "chores wore done," sleigh-bells jingled along the country roads, and it seemed a& if everybody who owned a "team," or even a "nag," was out enjoying the snow. A great deal of visiting was done, and the postmistress at Springlake said that every letter was taken out of the postoftlce. David Burnot, a farmer, had taken his wife and two little sons, to visit Grandma Burnet, near the Forgo. The long ride was a merry one, tho strong arm of tho drlvor reselling for the heavily laken boughs and shaking snow down upon tho boys as thoy rode through tho woods. After dinner he had a snowballing frolic with thorn, making Grandma laugh till she cried, \tohing them, and declared that ?vid was only the biggest boy of tho hreo. At last they started for homo, and, of course, thoy came around by the postoffice. Papa tossed the papers to tho boys ; put some lettors In his inner pocket; Save a dainty lettor to his wife ; took is seat, and tucked in tho big buffalo robe around tho boy bosido him, and his own clumsy arctics; picked up the reins, and away the pet horses sped down the hill, away and uway home. After supper, before the cheerful fire, Mrs. Burnet read hor lotter, which ended: "As soon as wo hoard Mrs. Rugor was coming, we wishod you to como to New York to stay during hor visit. It is fifteen years since we wero togeth er last; do say you will come." Y?B> certainly," at onco said Mr. ?mrnot. ^'^?Boy?? wo can spare Mamma o visit two old schoolmates, can wo ot?" " Yes, oh, yes !" tho boys agreed. Mrs. Burnet did not seo how she could leave her little family. But Bertha, the smart German girl, suid they would bake some extra " things," and prepare the "buttery" for tho raids of hungry boys upon cruller and cooky crock, and she would risk all tho housework. That Saturday accomplished a great deal, besides carrying tho lotter which accepted tho invitation. Sunday it rained, and mamma half hoped she noed not go on Monday. But oh, the brightness und beauty of that morning ! Tho wholo out-door world was sheathed in tho ice, that crystal day. Tho rising sun dazzled across fields, that wore liko frosted wodding cakes, Bertha said. The trees were transparencies, und gave forth all the prism colors ; drops of violet, orange or green pendent at the tips of tho boughs. It was decided the boys should ride to the station to see mamma sturtod upon her journey. Never did tho homely earth look more like fuiryland. To be sure tho sleigh "slewed" in an exciting way at every turn in the road, but tho horses wero sharp-shod, - and nothing mischievous happened. Every insignificant roadside trillo was tricked out in spangles; stono walls overgrown with clematis, weedy patches in damp hollows, wero in all the soft shades of olive and brown, and like tho tall evergreens, glace. The telegraph poles were iced up to thoir tops; and thoir wires were strung with irridoseent beads, that a princess might covot. As the vista changed with tho over winding road, through that hill coun try, down towards tho ruilroud, tho happy Burnots exhausted their descrip tive adjectives and ejaculations in spasms or delight. " Too bad, mamma, you have to go away when everything uso beautiful," said Robert, tho older boy. " I think so, too," said mamma, kissing him for good-by ; und thinking that papa and his boys had never looked so handsome bo fore. "And in New York, snow is only a nuisance," said papa. " But wo will writo mamma all about our sleigh rides ; say good-by, Richard, the train is coining." The train came and went, and purtcd this happy family. Those who rode back through tho ravines, winding around tho hills, up and up, home aguin, were not half so chatty as when tho bright oyos of mamma had holped them to spy out tho beauties of tho frost. In the first week of her rare visit, letters tlew back and forth. In the second week Mr. Burnet wrote : " Do not hurry home ; tho boys say so ; and Bertha says sho ean keep houso well enough for another week." The city was charming tho Wiscon sin lady and tho Catskill guost; and their host and hostess found, euch day, new sights that really ought to be Been. At the ond of tho second wook, Mr. Burnet wrote: "If you will stay contont till tho lif toonth of March, our wedding day, I will spend it with you, and have a wedding journoy homo." Mrs. Burnet was half provoked and really dropped a toar, feeling for the moment as if homo wero not missing her as much as she missed homo. But she was quickly ashuracd, and her friends said her family woro unsolfish and self-denying ; and this extension of hor furlough was delightful all around. A few mornings lator, there befell at the breakfast tublo, one of thoso wretohed blunders that no mun cun foresee, and " all tho cake was dough " for our dear friend. It was the arrival of a lottor from a country neigh bor, asking Mrs. Burnet to make a small purchuso for her, "supposing you are coming soon, al though it is not half so bod as we ex > peoted. You must havo boon seurod when you saw tho papers." Half-crazed, Mrs. Burnot began to pack hor trunk, but grew so faint, she submitted to lio down, und await an answer to a telegram already sent. She could not, however, conceal her Impatience. "Oh, did you telegraph? What could you say ?" " I askod," said her host: " 'Something alarms Mrs. Burnet. Any one 111 V Shall she return V" in a few hours' time tho answer came: "No ono la ill. Do not como. Lotter by noxt mail. David Burnet." That afternoon was spent at tho Historical Society, where tho horror of suspense was partly lost among the pictured eoenos of centuries behind us. Not until tho good dinner was over, did tho letter como, for wblcn tho whole company wero oagorly waiting. It said ??Dear Wife?When I was driving '**to tbe village this morning, I met out with the iger starting I telegram, which will explain why you received its answer so quickly. Ia was going to consult with the doctor, and yet, as I telegraphed, no one Is 111, On Washington'? Birthday I went away for a few hours. It way very cold, so Idid not take tho boys. As I came in sight of tho house, returning, to my surprise (and the colts') a salute was flred, on the small cannon Cousin Rob brought down last Fourth of July. The raport was about as usual, but I saw at onoe that something had gone wrong. The colts dashed down tho Inno. Herman came to their heads, and I hurried to the boys. Of course the one who was not hurt, was orying bitterly; that was Richard. Robert must have left some powder on top of ; the cannon, although they think it was loaded and fired precisely as they loaded aud fired In July, J3ut there was an explosion, as quick as a wink ; for his oyeballs wore full of powder, and tho lids besides. The doctor was hurried horo. Your boy was a hero. As long as daylight lasted wo worked at the powder blotches, and again the next day. I took the little man in my bed. and had uot loft him, night nor duy, until this morning. His only wall has been: "Do not let mamma know." " Oh, mamma must not see mo!" "The doctor aud Bertha agreeing that you wore not really needed, we thought it no harm to keep the bad news from you. We are curious to know what alarmed you. When you come, 1 think you will forgivo us for trying to boar our own troubles: we did not wish to spoil your visit. Will you stay for the wedding day ? "The boys send love, and Robert will bo himsolf again before you see him. " DAVID." Oh, no, infleod ; no furthor plans for onjoymont could keep the grieving mother. Tho visit ended as in a dream. She, hardly know how her trunk was packed, and tho loving frionds were left, whon she was on her homoward wuy. "Will he be blind. David?" was tho first question she asked at the station. "Oh. no, not blind. Wo hope the eyes will bo all right. Do you forgivo us ?" Mrs. Burnot could not say yos. Oh, tho bonnlo lads ; how glad they wore! How merrily mamma talked of tho beautiful things she had seen, and gave them tho presents which dolighted thoin. But tho strangely mottled face, aud tho bandaged eyes?oh, what a sad sight! "So you celebrated Washingtons Birthday, my darling?" " Yes, mamma, with my naughty cannon." "And not one of tho bravo men 'vho crossed tho Icy Dolaware, showed moro forUtudo," said Papa Burnot, proudly. " Not ovon our dear Wash ington could at ten years of age havo been moro of a hero in bearing pain, without a moan, repeatedly, day after day, begging that his mother should not sco him. And yet nothing on earth is so dear as mamma, hoy, my, boy?" " Nothing quite so dear, papa," said Robert, holding his mother's hand, while tears mot his simle, trickling from tho closed eyes. "Oh, David," cried tho sad little woman, when by thomselves, he had told her tho painful details?" Oh, David, thoro was Washington's forti tude : but do you think thoro was Washington's truth in tho sorry scheme of keeping mo away ?" SUPREME COURT BEJEOTIONS. REMINISCENCES OF FORMER AD MINISTRATIONS. President Grant Met shook Opposi tion in His Day?Cleveland's Recent Experience lias Been the Fate of Ol hers. A. W. II. in Augusta Chronicle. President Cleveland's strenuous ef forts to appoint a successor to tho lato Samuel Blatchford as Associato Justice of the Supremo Court, recalls tho simi lar efforts of President Grant to ap point a successor to Sulmon P. Chaso as Chief Justice twenty years ago. Kaoh made two nominations that failed of confirmation, and a third that was confirmed with difficulty. In each case the President's party was in tho ma jority in tho Seuato. Chief Justice Chaso died in New York on May 7, 1S7J. On the first day of tho following December President Grant nominated George B. Williams, of Oregon, an ex-Senator, and then At torney General, to the vacancy. Thoro was instant and widespread objection to tho nomination. Mr. Williams' pro fessional ability was called in question by his brethren in tho law, and tho great Bar Association of New York adopted formal resolutions in opposi tion to his confirmation. A largo num ber of the principal newspapers of both political parties condemned tho selec tion. Unfortunately for Mr. Williams, his management of his oflico had involved him in scandal. For Instance it was charged that ho had bought for Mrs. Williams a landaulet, and had paid ft?*1 it out of tho contingent fund of tho Department of Justice Ho had in con sequence been nicknumcd in tho public press " Landaulet" Williams. Moreover, Mrs. Williams was not popular with the other wives of Cabi net officers, and a great many detri mental stories concerning her wore circulated. To some extent tho light against Williams took on tho form of a " ladies' quarrel." To illustrate faintly this phase of the contest, tho following paragraph is quoted from tho regular correspondent of a New York paper at that time: "Mrs. Williams'carriage blocks tho way. Politically and socially that de partment landaulet has beon in tho way of ovorybody and of ovory salon, and 1ms used a weok of tho precious timo before Lent. Tho ladies of tho cabinet had each agreed to givo a ' gernmn ' to to Miss Nollio Grant after her month of mourning for Grundpa Dent, hut hopes had been entortained that Mrs. Williams would havo beon out of tho set bo fore tho invitations wore sent out." As early as Decombor 0 reports be gan to be circulated that Grant would withdraw Williams' name, but days grew Into weeks without such action. Finally tho holiday adjournment wus had, with tho nomination still ponding. On January 5, 1874, Congress having reassembled, President Grant visited the Capitol. Ho sent for tho Republi can members of tho Judiciary Commit tee. Kdmunds, Frolinghuysen, Conk ling, and Wright and Carpenter, all of whom, except Conkling, woro under stood U> DO opposed to Williums. This gave rise to ruinous that Williams' name would be withdrawn, and Caleb Cushing's name bo sent in. On tho morning of January 7, Hamil ton fish, Secretary of Stato, callod on Attorney General Williams at tho lat tcr's office, and roprosontod to him that his continued candidacy was seriously embarrassing President Grant, and that ho (Williams) ought to send to tho President a note asking him to with draw his (Williams) name from tho Senate, adding that this was tho only way in which President Grant and his administration could bo relieved from ombarressmcnt in tho matter. Wil liams yloldod to thoso representations, and that afternoon sont a noto to tho President in accordanco with the nug jfcstlon of Mr. Fish. The noxt day Williams' name was withdrawn. On the following day, January 0, 1871, Calob Cashing was nomiuated to tho vacanoy, and tho samo day tho nomination was favorably roportod back from the Jedlolary Committco, despite tho faot thut- Mr. Cashing was within a woek of his 74th birthday. Ho would have beon confirmed that day had not Morton, of Indiana, objected to an executive scss on. This enabled i 1 the opposition to Cushing within the Republican party to organize. The Republicans who opposed Gushing did so because he had presided over the Charleston convention, and had cast his vote with the Breckinrldge wing of tho Democratlo party in the cam paign of 1809. They recalled the fact that Governor John A. Andrew, of Massachusetts, had declined to em riloy Mr. Cushing in a military capacity n 1801, despite his excellent record in the Mexican war. It was also claimed that be hud denounced the reconstruc tion legislation of Congress as uncon stitutional. The contest grew vory ani mated, and finally a cauous of Repub lican Senators was called to consldor the matter. Cushing's cause was ad vocated by Sumner and others, who vouched for his loyalty during the I war, and for his sympathy with the re i construction legislation of Congress. Had matters rested there he would have boon confirmed, but they didn't. Senator Sargent, of California, rose and read the following letter : Washington, March 20th, 1801. Dear Sir : Mr. Archibald Roane, for the last six or seven years a olerk in the Attorney General's office, de sires from me a letter of introduction to you, and he deserves it, not in the view of anticipating administrative favors, but that he may have the honor of your personal Intercourse. Of this I take pleasure in assuring you he Is I eminently worthy. A Southern man by,birth, family and affection, ho has carefully studied and ably discussod in Mr. DeBow's Review, and other South ern works, tho lamentable events which have boon gradually undermin ing, and have at last overthrown, tho American Union. While a practical man, he is u rlpo and accomplished scholar, with, indeed, predominant lit erary tastes and habits. In tho dis charge of his official duties, he has continued in a singular degree the purest integrity and most enlightened mtolligonco, with modest contontmont in his Tot. Having more than once de clined offices of more conspicuous em ployment in tho public service, he now rosigns his present office from sentl monts of devotion to that whieh alono he can fool to bo his country, namely, tho Confederate States, from one of which (Toxas) he was appointed. I most heartily commend him as a gen tleman and a man to your confidence and esteem, and I am, with tho high est consideration, your obodiont sor vant, C. Gushing. Hon. Jefferson Davis, President of tho Confederate States. Tho reading of this lotter put an end to all ehaneo of Cushing's confirma tion. Senator Sargent explained that that morning he had received an an onymous letter calling his attention to tho existence of the letter he had read, and tolling him it was among the Con federate archives the Government had bought, and which woro thou in its pos session. Ho had gone at once, ho said, and examined these archives, finding the letter ho had just read, and of whieh he had mado a copy. He had shown his copy to President Grant, and then had gone to tho caucus loaded for boar. Grant had the original let tor sent him for inspection, and im mediately decided to withdraw Cush ing's name. Gushing, learning tho turn matters had taken, sent the Presi dent a note asking that his name be withdrawn. It was a superfluous acton his part. His name was withdrawn on Jan. 0, having been before tho Senate just six days. P 'evious to his nomination for Chief Justice, Cushing had been nominated and e firmed as minister to Spain, a miss, j ho filled with great credit to himself and advantage to his country. In connection with this appointment an interesting story is told. Tho Virginia affair was still pending. President Grant sent for Cushing and said to him : '? Mr. Cushing, I want you to go as I minister to Spain." " Do you speak as a military man or a civil official, Mr. President? In other words, sir, is this an order or a request?" "This is an order, Mr. Cushing," re plied Grant with a smile. " Very well," said Cushing, " I will bo ready to go whenever the Senate confirms my nomination." After Cushing's numo was withdrawn that of Morrison B. Waito, of Ohio, was sent in for Chief Justice on Jan uary 10, 1874, favorably reported on tho 20th, and confirmed on tho 21st. Cushing's lotter was compared to that whieh caused tho expulsion from tho Senato on Fobruaiy 5, 18(52, of Jesse d. Bright, of Indiana. Mr. Bright's lotter was as follows : Washington, March i, 1861. MY dear Silt: Allow mo to in troduce to your acquaintance my friend, Thomas B. Lincoln, of Texas. Ho visits your capital mainly to dispo.se of what ho regards a great improvement in firearms. I commend him to your favorable consideration as a gentleman of tho first, respectability, and reliable in every respect. Vory truly yours, Jbsse d. Bright. To His Excellency, Jefferson Davis, President Confederate States. It is something of a coincidence that both tho gentlemen who brought Bright and Cashing to grief hailed from Texas. And it is another that Aaron A. Sargent, who discovered tho Cush ing letter, was horn in Newport, Mass., where Cushing, then a man of 27, lived and practiced law and which, at the time of Sargent's birth, ho represented in tho State Senate. Another of President Grant's nomi nees for tho Supreme Court who failed of confirmation was B. Rockwood Hoar, as he called himself, or Kbenezer B. Hoar as ho appears in the records of tho Senato. While ho was Attorney General bo was on December 15, 18(15), nominated for Associate Justice and on February 3, 1870, rejected. There was no question of disability, integrity, or loyalty. He was defeated because ho had an acrid temper and had quar relled vigorously with Republican ben ators. So far as can bo gathered from tho published records the following is a comploto list of nominations to the Su premo Court which failed of confirma tion, except those named above and Hornblowor and l'eckhnm : Judge Rntledge, of South Carolina, appointed Chief Justice by Washington in I7P."> during tho recess of Congress. Ho presided at tho August term of the Court that year. In tho following De cember Iiis name was sent to tho Sen ate. That body rejected tho nomina tion. By some accounts because ho opposed the Jay treaty with Kurland, and by others because his mind had given away. John J. Crittcndon, of Kentucky, As sociate Justice, named by John Qulnoy Adams in 1828. The nomination was indefinitely postponed. Roger B. Taney, of Maryland, Asso ciate Justice, by Jackson in IK\~>. 'Phis nomination was indefinitely postponed on motion of Daniel Webster. A few months afterwards, the Senate having changed from Whig to Democrat. Taney was nominated for Chief Justice vice John Marshall, deceased, and, on motion of Jamos Buchanan, confirmed by a vote of 2? to 1S>. It is an interest ing fact that John G. Calhoun voted ugainst Taney John C. Spencer, of New York, Ron be n N. Walworth, of Now York, and Bdward King, of Pennsylvania, all by Tylor in 1844, and John M. Read, of Pennsylvania, by Tyler in 1846. All failed to bo confirmed, Spencer being tho only ono actually rejected, Goorgo W. Woodward, of Pennsyl vania, nominated by Polk in 1815, and reieotod. E. A. Bradford, of Louisiana, nomi nated by Fillmoro in 1852, and never voted on. Jeremiah S. Black, of Pennsylvania, nominated by Buchanan in 18(1*1. Henry Stanbory, of Ohio, nominatod by Johnson. Never reported from tho Judioiary Committee.! 1 In all, Including Hornblower and Peckhain, there bavo beeo sixteen per sons nominated to the Supreme Court of the United States who have failed of confirmation. In other words, about 25 per cent, of all the nominations to the Supreme Bench have failed to be confirmed. Usually the cause of the failure to confirm has been a political one, but this has not always neon the case. SOMETHING AUOUT HOGS. HARDWOOD ASH KS FOR HOGS. ' Corn is deficient in ash or bone-mak ing constituents, so thut pigs fed ex clusively upon it have weak or brittle' bones. In Wisconsin experiments, tho effect of tho hard wood ashes and bono meal fed to pigs with corn was to save about 28 per cent, of tho corn in pro ducing 100 pounds of gain, livo weight. By feeding tho bono meal the strength of tho thigh bono was doubled : ashes nearly doubled the strength of tho bones. Those oxporimonts point to tho great value of hard wood ashes for hog feeding, and show that thoy should bo regularly fed. Bone meal is even bet tor than ashes, but tho latter aro suffi cient, and do not usually cost any thing. I MORE VARIETY FOR HOOS. Tho fattening hog has usuully less variety in his food than any other ani mal. What is worse, its nutriment Is concentrated iu small bulk, and when this feed Is corn, as it usually is, there is too littlo other nutrition. The ro-\ suit of such feeding is that tho hogs become surfoitod and their digestion is injured. They may increase fat. but it is not good healthy pork, and thoy will not gain so rapidly as if thoy had greater variety. Thoy will eat cut clovor hay iu considerable amounts if It is steamed and wheat middling put on it. Hogs thus fed will continue to grow, and may bo fattened until a year old with profit. It is indigestion ?aus l&d by poor feeding more than anything 1 olso which makes It unprofitable to keep hogs after thoy weigh 150 to 200 pounds each. FOOD FOR YOUNG PIGS. Prof. Henry, of tho Wisconsin sta tion, says : " Wo fool warranted in maintaining that tho kind of food sup plied to young, growing pigs bus a very marked olTect upon the animal carcass ; that foods rich in protein (shorts, bran, skim milk, peamoal, etc.) tend to build up strong, muscular frames and largo individuals with amplo blood and fully developed internal organs; that ex clusive corn feeding with pigs, oven after they havo obtained a good start on proper food, tends to dwarf tho ani mal in si/.o and prematurely fatten if, that, owing to tho largo amount, of ash contained, and perhaps for other causes, pigs recoiving tho usual nitro genous feeds havo stronger bones than those of pigs fod on corn, and that tho bones of pigs fod on corn contain tho least mineral matters. It is a rule, with somo farmers ,that tho manure of fattening animals pays lor the time used in taking caro of tho stock. If this is true, and it is without doubt, tho ono who feeds shorts instead of corn meal, gets double the pay for his work. THE COMING HOG MUST BE A CLEAN CUT, ANIMAL. A writer says : Tho future hog must be a rustler, by which is not meant a ' razor back," or " hazel splitter," but ono that has the get up and grow to him; an animal of line proportions, with extra top line, broad, deep hams, clean-cut, smooth under line, freo from flabbiness Of jowl or belly, with deep bacon sidos and deepness extending well back to Hank and forward to shoulder, not uneven, and deep in cen ter, having a tine out head, smooth and broad between tho eyes, jaw broad and tapering well oven to muzzle, eyes cloar and prominent, with ears stand ing out well from the head, breaking ovonly and smoothly towards tho point, but would even prefer a standing up oar to a drop or Hop ear, us a drop or a Hop, flabby jowl and under lino, in my experience, are not rustlers, and are more inclined to disease from their natnro of slothfulness, und these had habits aro generally found to gether. Tho bone should not be too largo, but ono of lino and strong tex ture, legs firm, standing erect in their pens and tapering well from arm down to tho feet. FEEDING YOUNG SOWS. There is one thing that should al ways bo kept In mind in feeding a brood sow, and that is that she should bo kopt growing, says Farm and Dairy. She will bo kept busy enough taking caro of her litter next spring, anil will not be able to do any growing from the time the litter comes until the pigs are weaned. Consequently the time be tween now and farrowing should bo busily improved in growing and laying on a supply of flesh to draw on when she needs it after farrowing. There is no danger iu overfeeding the young sow if tho right kind of food is given. There is daugor in getting tho old sows too fat before farrowing timo. Whon an old sow is fat she becomes lazy and will not got up when a pig is caught under, no matter how lustily tho little fellow may squeal. A young sow is more careful, and wo never had ono too fat at farrowing timo if the fat was put on with tho right kind of food. She should have some oats, bran, shorts and the like, foods that niako bone and muscle, along with her corn. A good deal of bone producing material is nec essary in order to make a strong lit tor. If some of these foods are used with corn, there is littlo danger in feeding the young sow too much, or at least in getting her too fat, after sho is once safe with pig. Many BOWS, and othor animals, for that matter, aro fod too littlo instead of too much. Tho brood sow needs a good storo of flesh to draw on after tho litter comes.

So goneral is the use of the telephone in our thriving cities and villages, that we shall doubtless render our readers a service by placing before them the situation at the present time. Perhaps we shall not supply unneces sarily elemental information in re marking at the outset that tho two principal features of tho telephone covered by tho patent laws aro tho transmitter into whieh the messugo is spokou, and tho receiver, by placing whieh at tho ear, the message is heard. As wo havo said, the patents bear especially upon tho receiver and tho j transmitter. But the patent on the re ceiver expired on tho last Wednesday of January. This might leave the im pression that half the telephone was free to tho public, and the other half covered by patents, thus insuring tho continuance of the monopoly a while longer. Hut right here two Important facts aro to be noted. First, tho receiver can be used us a transmitter, as any ono can discern by making the experi ment. Tho Hell transmitter is prefera ble ; but supposing that to bo protected by a patent the receiver can be made to serve as a transmitter. Theso receiv ers are now offered for sale at less than two dollars, and will doubtless soon be sold cheaper, the batteries, wires, und other equipment being also offered at reasonable rates. Tho re sult is that any ono can buy a pair of receivers, put up a private wire be tween rooms In his house, or between his houso and office, or his oflieo and stable, oi" between his own houso and that of a friend. It is evident we are about to witness lively competition in tne matter of telephone extension. Of course, tho Hell Company's exchange facilities by which it maintains such extensive connections as its central offlcos afford, give it a great advantage 'at the start, but two companies aro already ad vocating the setting up of independent lines, and tho maintenance of exchange, systems. Right here it would seem as if a law should be passed requiring tho Bell Telephone Company to re ceive and transmit messages from other systems on the general plan of exchange required of the various tele graph and railway companies : proba bly we shall have such a law before long. Another matter to be noted is tho fact that it is by no means certain that the patent of tho Bell transmitter still holds. Without going into tho pur oiculai'S of this matter, it is sufficient to say that the question is now in the courts. Indeed one of the independent companies offers to supply a long dis tance transmitter : and it publishes a lotter from tho President of the Bell Company notifying tho company that probably no suit will bo brought against it until a decision on tho mat ter, now pond'ng, it reached in the United States Circuit Court. It wilhbo seen, therefore, that the prospect for cheap telephones is ex ceedingly good, and tins cities are tak ing the matter up. A large company has been formed in Chicago, and in Philadelphia it is known that the Clamond Telephone Company has de cided to light the Bell monopoly for tho business in tho Bast. Contracts are now being made by this company for towns and cities ill Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Both these cities have granted permission to tWO in dependent companies respectively to put up lines. During the past six years, the Bell Company havo paid average dividends of over $2,8IH),000, in surplus earnings, and $2,200,000 regular dividends, on an average capital of $11,209,000, making an average dividend of of over forty live per cent.?Christian at Work.

How to Kill Nut Grass.?i havo seen several inquiries lately for a method of killing nut giuss. 1 usod to think the only way to get rid of it was to move off and leave it, but havo found a hotter method of treating it. i had about ono uere of very rieh garden land thoroughly seeded down with it. I could raise a whiter or early spring crop, but it would ohoke out any corn or eotton erop I could plant. Five years ago 1 raised a erop of Irish potatoes en it. then planted it in corn. Before it was large enough to hoe, it was a mass of green nut grass, and to get it out of the hill pulled up nearly all tho corn. It was very dry at j tho time, and by the time 1 wns through, my corn was nearly all dead, but tho grass was doing finely. I concluded to I try heroic treatment on it. So I took a Planet (Jr.) cultivator and tore up I every blade of corn and grass in the l Hold, using a hoe around the fences. In about four days a new crop came ? up. Then I cultivated It tho other ! way, ulways in tue hot sun. Tho fourth I time I plowed it deep, and 1 got an I other pretty good erop of grass started, which 1 cultivated as before. In out; month, I think, I hud sprout ed and killed every vestige of it. as not a stalk has appeared since, and it has been planted to corn or sweot potatoes every year since. You can take this for what it is worth, but the only way to get rid of it is to keep it from seeding, either top or root, and cultivate and germinate all dormant seed and kill them by cul tivation in tho dry hot weather of May and June.?John Axtell. Weber's Shortage paid.?Tho Stute authorities have been informed I that George H. Walter, the County , Treasurer of Charleston,'has been paid i *l.li!ii>.S:i, the amount of the shortage ' of .lohn \j. Weber, ex-School Cominis I sioner of Charleston, the story of whose I crime has been published. The money 1 was paid by 1,eland Moore, a brother* Ill-law of Weber, but one of the best ! and most honest men in Charleston. ? For him and the other innocent ones ! there is the deepest sympathy. No news has recently boon received ' as to the whereabouts of Weber, but he is supposed to bo still at Trinity Col lege. Much has appeared in North Carolina papers about him since his exposure. The most of these papers, it is said, havo charged the exposure to political persecution, and have been trying to exonerate Woher. They have stated that he handled over $100,000 a year in school funds, und ' that it is a wonder that his shortage was not greater. The State authorities say that Weber never handled tho funds of the Charleston graded schools except in bulk and that the money from that source merely passed through his hands, as is the case with the graded schools in other cities. Tho amount of money which ho bandied for the county BChools and over w hieb he had complete control was about $3,300 a year.?Columbia Register. _^SPECIALISTS< (Rcxnlnr Orndiintei.) *it<? tlie Inadine and mutt successful specialists and '111 give yuu holp.

HIGH GRADE FERTILIZERS. >SliAS'o x ?:? op. - i,s94.<r.:; TIIF ENCOURAGING REPORTS PROM THE USE OP THE GREEN villo Fertilizers tho past season in every seotlou whore they have boon used, have induced the Company to address a few thoughts to the public, desiring simply to inform the farmers and dealers that our facilities, both for manii fucturing and shipping, are unsurpusscd by any manufacture In the State. Our plant is complete in every respect with all tho modern improvements. Wo manufacture a complete Fertilizer from the raw matei ials with the latest, im proved mills. Our material is ground to a dust, making our dissolved bone and acid phosphate almost entirely soluble, and in the very best possible condition to get good results from the land. To know of our several brands of High Grade Ammoniated Fertilizers is only to read the testimonials from some of our most practical farmers in our pamphlet. A trip through the Northwest will convince one that in this country n . one farmer in ton plows his field as well as it should be plowed : not one in tejJ harrows as well as it should be harrowed; not one in fifty takes sufficient care in the quality of seed used, and not one in one hundred uses fertilizers sufficient to supply the wants Of his crop. Tho only royal road to make farming succeed is to strive to produce your cotton, corn, wheat and other producta cheaper than your neighbor. Then you can compete with him in any market. Prepare a sufficient, amount of your best land to make your living at home. After this, plant every acre in cotton that you can cultivate thoroughly. Use liberally the GREENVILLE FERTILI ZERS. This will not only guarantee your success, but the whole Country will prosper. With twelve months supply in the smoke-house and a bulged out com crib, every farmer is independent. Wo keep always on hand the following brands and will make special brands to order: Cherokee Acid Phosphate : Cherokee Soluble Guano, 2 to 2* per cent. Ammonia; Cherokee High-Grade Guano, 24-to 3 per cent. Ammonia: Small Grain Specific, 2 to 2* per cent. Ammonia : Cherokee Alliance, .'I to l per cent. Ammonia; Kainlt, K2degrees; Agricultural Lime, l per cent. Potash; Cal cined S. C. Marl; Nitrate Soda : Muriate Potash ; Pure Ground Blood.
