New USE OF THE ToMATo-The Che
raw Gazette states, that in addition 10 the
advantages of the tomato for table use, the
vine is Of great value for cattle, especially
for cows.
II is said that COW fed on tomato vines
will give more milk and yield butter of a
finer flavor, and in greater abundance than
any other long feed ever tried. 1t is thought
too, that more good food for cattle, and al
less expense, can be raised on given guam
,i,y of ground planted in tomatoes than from
any other vegetable known in the Southern
country. Farmers, look out for this in the
coming season.

A CHANGE OF FoRTUNE.-The widow
and daughter of the late Mr.. Laflte, the
great French Banker, and at one time Minis

week as steeroge passengers in the ship
Splendid, Captain Crawford, from Havre.
4 turn of fortunes wheel cast them from
the salons of Paris into the hold of an emf
gran. ship, and left them without even funds

air in a ships steerage, with three or four
hundred people of grade that few years
ago they would have termed canailte for
their companions. The revolution of 1890

CoTToN Factory SroPPED.-We learn
from the Georgetown, D. c., Advocate, that
the cotton factory, at that place, has closed
within the week or two past, though, as il
understands, with the expectation Of resum-
ing again before long. The employment
which it afforded to large number of per-
sons was of great advantage to the place
and added considerable to its prosperity
The Advocate in.imates that the unproita-
bleness of production, under present circum-
stances, was the cause.

The Westminster Nd Carroltonian says
Ia mad dog in that town, on Sunday last, bit
at number of other dogs, cows and hogs in
the neighborhood. The dog belonged to
VIM. Fowler, who lives near Westminster.

last, and in attempting to secure him, Mr..
Fowler was slightly bitten in the breast.

and several of Mr.. Benjamin Fowler's
horses.

A HoRR1D ExEcUTIoN-The New Or
leans Traveller gives the following accoun,
of the execution of slave named Pompey,
for committing a brutal assault on little
girl 8 years of age.
ale exhibited up to the last hour of his
life the same sullen disposition which he
assumed at the time of his arrest, and which
he has maintained ever since, showing no
disposition to accept spiritual comfort or
consolation of any kind his only anxiety
appeared to be centred in watching an OPP
portunitv to escape. We saw him as he lay
in his manacles, with his eyes gIaring wildly
around, and when the execulioner approach
ed him to remove him to the yard Of the
Jail, he became furious, and not until kind
hearted friend who seemed to have secret
control over him, came and soothed him,
would he let any of The officers Of the Jail
approach him. He was at length induced
to 90 to the place of execution, and it was
only by stratagem that he was suspended by
the fatal moose, and so bunglingly was it
attached that j, slipped over his head, and
he was then dispatched By shooting him
through the head with a pistol!
We must confess that of all the executions
we ever witnessed, that at the third NUM-
cpali.y police Jail, disguised us the most.
We believe the owner gets nothing from the
State for the loss of his property, and we
sincerely sympathise with him, for noble
looking fellow was "Pompey.'

ARKANSAS ELEcTIoN.-We are just re-

the 2nd Monday in August in this strong
Democratic State, which was for the Legis-

county officers. George Drew, the present
executive of the State, has no opposition.
Robert w. johnson, (Democra,,) present
member, and Thomas w. Newton, (Whig,)
late member, are the opposing candidates
for Congress.
On the result of the Legislature, lin which
last year there was Democratic majority
of 5S,) depends the selection of two United
States Senators, in place of Messrs. Borland
and Sebastian, filling, by appointment OF
the Governor, the places respectively of Mr.
Ashley, deceased, and Mr.. Sewer, resigned
The returns so far for the Legislature are
more than usually fair to the Wings. In
Philips county, Marshall and Preston, both
Wings, have been elected
There is contest between Mr.. Sewer and
Maj Borland for one of the U. S. Senatorial
seats, while Mr.. Oldham is named for the
other, which division in the Democratic
ranks leads the Wings to hope for great
gains if not success-Sun.
