He was at once sen tenced to seven days’ arrest for infraction of a regulation, but it seems that Gen Saussier, who is one of the jolliest old fellows imaginable, and the hero in times gone by of no end of ad ventures with the fair sex, had the utmost difficulty in preserv ing a semblance of sternness and dignity. It May Do at Much for You. Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving, 111. writes that he had a Severe Kid ney trouble for many years, with severe pains in his back and also that his bladder was affected. He tried many so call ed Kidney cures but without any good result. About a year ago he began use of Electric Ritters and found relief at once Electric Bitters is especially adapted to cure of all Kidney and Liver troubles and often gives almost instant relief.

Every five or six days pick all we expressed the hope that wis-1‘bat are mature and sh.p er heads than ours would be able to solve this difficulty in some lawful way. "While there are other conditions demanded of us that we may be loath to accede to, this, in our opinion, is the vital issue of them all, and is the only one that, in the end, threatens to interfere seri ously with the consummation of the compromise. Divested of all extraneous matter, it nar rows down, after all, to the same old negro question that has been confronting us for so many years, the settling of each please of which, as it arose from time to time, has required the exercise of the greatest wisdom and the most exalted spirit of patriotism. In this connection it is worthy of remark that a certain degree of indignation is being mani fested in unexpected quarters because Tillman proposes to “keep the white man on top” by limiting the negro’s right of suffrage. It is not our desire to make what might be constru ed to be too sweeping an asser tion, so we will qualify this last remark by admitting (what ev erybody knows to be the case) that some of our very best men have always been oppposed to any interference in this matter whatsoever. But there is no denying the fact that the effect of Tillman's taking this position has been to bring forth in be half of the negro a symphathy and a support from sources from which he had the least reason to expect it—from among the ranks of the very men who have been convinced all this time that they were performing a patriotic duty in holding him down, and who did not hesitate to act on that conviction. What was once right and prop er in their eyes becomes thor oughly unjustifiable when ad vocated by Tillman. This feel ing arises from prejudice, pure and simple. If we mistake not the growing sentiment which prevails among the white peo ple of the State, the day for conducting our political cam paigns on lines dictated by pre judice is rapidly passing away It makes no matter that our personal estimate of Tillman has not undergone one iota of change since he first appeared on our political horizon; it idle to discuss the question “Thank the Lord,” said the farmer, “cotton’s gone up at last!” “You don’t say!” “Yes; yonder goes ten bales in a cy clone”—Atlanta Constitution. !S l as to some reliable commission house north. I have no doubt this will pay you better than cotton. If English peas are preferred, get one bushel to the acre; lay off rows about five feet apart, have two furrows together with about six inch shovel plow, and in those furrows put your man ure—a good coat of almost any thing that is good for cotton: take Dixie plow and bed out clean; this makes a good flat bed. Then take five inch shovel plow and open about over the manure. Sow your peas in these furroWs; take a grab rake and draw from each side of bed to cover them and let them be about three inches deep; that will give two rows every five feet, one middle two feet, the other three feet. You can then plow the wide m.ddle, taking your grab rake or hoe and work them out. Once will be enough. Eight weeks from planting get carrier crates which I guess can be had in Charleston, and about four weeks from the first ap pearance of bloom you may go to picking, being careful not to bruise them.

I will give a few names of good commission houses: Edward Roberts, Phila delphia, Pa.; John Nix & Co., New York; Quinn & Co , New ark, New Jersey. Write to e house and ask for market quota tions and stencil, and they will do right by you. I do not think there could be a better time than now for South Carolina farmers to try something be sides cotton, especially the vege table business, as Florida is so behind. I hope some will try it: I am trying it here, and would have been shipping Eng lish peas but for that memor able night when everything went by the board.

A Novel Military Appendage, [Exchange.] An amusing scene took place the other day on the Champs de Mars at Paris when Gen. Saus sier, who is in chief command of the French metropolis, was inspecting a dragoon regiment which enjoys the reputation of being the crack corps of the French cavalry. All passed off satisfactorily until his eye hap pened to catch sight of the pe culiar appearance presented by the helmet of a young marquis who was riding at the head of A Quarter Century Teat.
