WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10. T?e Biggest Acre of Corn. A. Bl. Porcher, of Berkeley County, writes as follows to the Xeics- and* Char? rier: I have been expecting to hear some one correct the statement circu? lated qaite fre<jaently in t-bc public prints that Dr. Parker's-crop of ?oro (raised on oue- acre), was- greater than ever raised on oue acre. On the fifth page of the January, ?876 number of the Southern Cultiva? tor, M*. W. 7u Joues, editor, refers specially to an acre of corn raised by Mr. ?. Turoley in 1875. It was measured by a committee of three, ap? pointed by Gravely Springs Grange, &>. 5^0, Graveley Springs, Lauderdale County, Alabama. The yield of the acre was 221 bushel's and 7 quart's. Mr. Jones refers te- the fact of t??e .yield exceeding that of Br. Parker's acre (Columbia, S. C ,) by twenty-oue bushels. Turoley planted three by three, three stalks left in a bill. Seed planted carefully selected nnd very pro? ductive. I happened myself to have seen Dr. Parker's.celebrated acre of eora just before it was harvested. I send this item, havia? a copy ef 1876 number of tbe Southern Cultiva? tor, The truth- has always some inter? est. Tbe contestants will have to aim big ber tba* that of Dr. Parker's re ?or?. Turoley lays stress on hie very pro? ductive seed coro, which bad been a specialty with him. Harrison's Sooth Carolina Sheriff. Many amusing incidents OCCUT in eoooectiou with the importunities of office-seekers. Oue of the funniest occurred yesterday. **Where do you reckon 1 can Sud Joba Sherman ?" - said a tall-, typical Southerner, addres? sing himself to a reporter in the Senate chamber. "I want to talk to bini " awhile," and the stranger stroked his sandy gray mustache and drew his fingers through bis long goatee. **My Dame is Tolbert," be continued, John S Tolbert, and I came from Abbeville county, South Carolina, from the very county where John C. Calhoun was born, and where George C. McDaffie came from-a grand place. D'ye ? think Butler and Hampton have gone borne ? Sorry if they are. Butler's my old Captain. I was a rebel, yon know, bat there's no better Republican anywhere than I am now. Where did yon say Sherman's room was ? I want to talk to bim. I voted eight times for bim at Chicago last year. What of?ce am I after ? Young mao, I am going to be United States Marshal of South Carolina-President Harrison's Sheriff -or I am going to stay here until my beard gets so long that I can step on it without bending over*. Ye hear that?" Tbe reporter beard it, aod that is the way it got into the newspapers. Washington Correspondent of the Troy, N. Y. Tintes. ~ Crimes North and South. lt is a singular fact that from the average Northern stand point lawless? ness occurring ip the .West and North west is never attributed to party spirit or to party influence. Murders, lynch? ings, mob law, terrorism and every con? ceivable form of outlawry tn the West? ern and Northwesters States and Ter? ritories are complacently set down as wild westernism, the natural outgrowth of a new and semi barbarous society, which excuses are always nt hand for foch manifestations of disorder and crime. Tbe country in which they occur is nearly always spoken of as .'new" and '"tough." Better things are looked for by and by, when society shall have been fully organized and law fchall bave been established in all its strength. The region of Arkansas in which Clayton was killed rs. in the same sense, *'newT' and "tough." Some of its people are uot unlike the Western desperado. The shot-gun and the revolver settle most of the disputes there, as they do in many sections of Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and Idaho. Crime in that section of Arkansas is no more Democratic than crime in some of the Northwestern Territories named as Republican. Efforts to prove to the contrary will not be a access fal-Chicago Herald. Electric Lights Assared. In conversation with Mr. Campbell, "the representative of the Brush Electric Light, on Tuesday, we learned that eoe-half of the capital stock pf the pro? posed company has been taken and tbat the remainder is assured. The capita! ptock will be eight or nine thousand dollars, which will guarantee a plant which will be able to supply ail the fights necessary. This is another evi? dence of the energy and enterprise of our citizens.- York Enterprise. - mm ???? A IV AR ROW ECAPE Col. "W. K.

The latest io regard ?o the new deal of tb? cfotton bagging combination is that, it will control the supply of bag? ging for the coming crop quite as effectively as did thc combination of last year, though Dot at such high prices. Thc coming cotton crop is likely to [ demand from 45,003,000 to 50,000,. I 000 yards of badging as covering. As I the old combination bas 10,000,000 j yards on hand, it is obviously necessary j that some artificial restraint should be j placed upon production to "prevent the j market frsm being swamped with bag I ging. The Bostou Commercial Bul lethir which gave the first information ia regard to the new combination,, says : At present the agents of the deal are ? working upon the Southern dealers urging them to purchase at the present price, 9Jc free on beard io New York, asiog as a lever the threatened advance io prices. It is likely that wheo the 15.000,000 yards have beeo marketed, possibly before, that the price may be marked op to ten cents a yard for two pound- bagging. Thc price is not likely to be above this ?gure, as twelve cents, last year's price, led to so general a use of substitutes.- Wilmington Star. -T m? ow - Wonderful Dreaming or Fearful Lying. Some weeks ago the New York Eve? ning World opened a dream contest,, with Julian Hawthorne as judge. Dreamers from many quarters sent into the office the results of their slumbers, and all were read and critically passed on by Judge Eawtboroe, who to-day I announces that the most remarkable dreamer is Mr. J. E. J. Buckey, of Cumberland. Md. The Marylander received ?20 for his remarkable work while asleep. The following is Mr. Berkley's a-cctmnt of his prize-winning ?dream: **I dreamed one night last summer that I met a man of small stature, dark complexion, black hair, aod heavy black moustache, fashionably dressed, on the corner of Centre and Baltimore streets in this city. Some quarrel arose, and ? shot him in the neck. Some oF h?3 blood spurted oo j my white vest. The oext morning j about 10 o'clock, as I was turning the . corning the corner above mentioned, I j met the dream man. He sprang back with a cry, covered his neck with his hand, and said : 'For God's eake don't shoot me V We were both too much shocked to say anything for some mo? ments. Explanations followed. We bad both dreamed the same thing. Oddly enough, in looking at my vest afterwards I found a smear of some? thing red on it about the size of a quarter. This had been concealed by J my coat, and had not been noticed in j the hurry of dressing. A chemist I afterwards removed the stain, and said it was human blood." The value of the ships and stores of the United States recently destroyed at Samoa is put at $3,000..000, while Ger ! many loses half that sum. The total loss in money may safely be estimated five millions of dollars. John C. New of Indiana, has beeo ! confirmed as Consul General at Londoo, ! England. This position is said to be ! one of great emoluments. Neither is j the* occupant required to give dinners of. State, to consume rhe income.
