The Randolph Negroes.

A writer in the Baltimore Patriot, who
is travelling in Ohio, gives this account of
the Randolph negroes, who, it will be re-
membered, were driven from the homes
which had been procured for them by the
whites:
'Troy, about twenty miles from Dayton,
is a small and rather dilapidated town, be-
tween this place and Pequa. Along the
canal the majority of the Randolph negroes
arc located. II was in the adjoining county
of Mercer, that the large tract of land was
purchased for their settlement, from which
they were foroibly elected by TIE white In
habitants. The condition Of these pCor
creatures is a sad commentary on the mis-
cradle policy of emaneipating negroes, and
allowing them to remain in this country
The majority ofthese once invaluable SER
wants are now worthless pests upon the
community among whom they are located
and often want for the common necessaries
of life. heard several express an arden
wish TO return to the shores of Roanoke
again, where they once had plenty, and die
not know what it was to suffer for want"

SAILING UNDER WArER.-The Paris
Journal des Debates states that new spe-
cies of vessel, destined it is expected, to
solve the great problem of submarine navi-
cation, has been constructed in the establish
ment of M. Cruesot.
This vessel will proceed from Cruesot' 5
establishment through Paris to Calais by
sea, with the aid of its machinery, which is
similar to that of propcllcrs. In going out
of the port of Calais, it will plunge under
water, and re-appear few hours afterward
before Dover. Thence it will gain the
Thames, whence it will ascend 10 London
where it will figure in the Exhibition, among
the most interesting productions of French
industry and genius.

arces of phcat in tlco hours. At four o'clock.
in the presence of large number of per-

himself to be the finest GRADER ever seen in
that part of the country, but he failed by
minutes in accomplishing the task. He cut

Law of Newspapers.

The following principles have been set
tied blythe decisions of the courts, in refer
cnce to legal responsibilities of subscribers:
/. Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary, are considered as
wishing to continue their subscriptions.
2. If Subscribers order the discontinue
ance Of their periodicals, the publisher may
send them till arrearages are paid; and Sub
cribers are responsible for the numbers
sent.
8. Subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their periodicals from the Office to which
they are directed, they are held responsible
till they have settled their bills, and order
cd their periodicals discontinued. Sending
numbers back, or leaving them in the office
is not such notice of discontinuance as the
law requires.
d. If Subscribers remove to other places
without informing the Publishers; and their
periodical is sent to the former direction
they are held responsible.
5. The Courts have decided, that refus.
ing to take newspaper or periodical from
the office, or removing and leaving it I'm
called for, 1uhI all arrearageS are paid, Is
,prima ,tacie evidence Of intentional fraud.

Getting Married.

Some of those old writers were curious
fellows, and had strange IDEAS of matrmony
not all attractive to us bachelors. Ii is told
of Sir John Moore, the father of the famous
Sir Thomas, that he used to compare getting
married to a man thrusting his hand into a
bag containing twenty snakes and one eel; il
was twenty TO one he did not catch the eel.
We strongly suspect, from this definition Of
matrimony, that Sir John at least must have
caught snake. About hundred years
after, Thomas Basted, Esq, fellow of New
College, Oxford, penned the following cpl
gram on his three wives:
Though marriage by some is reckoned curse,
Three wives did marry, for better or worse,
The first for her person-the next for her purse
The third for warming-pan doctress, and nurse
The New York Atlas sometime since re-
lated the story Of a clergyman whose first
wife was very rich, his second very beauti-
full, and the third, whom he married in his
old age to nurse him and be his housekeeper
proved 70 be a perfect Xantippe in her dis,
position and temper. He observed to one o.
his friends that he had three wives, the
world, the flesh, and the devil. Cato, tn,
ancient philosopher, who certainly is goot
authority, has wisely said "that he preferred
the character of a good husband to that of I
great Senator"

The Grave---A Beautiful Extract.

/ love IN the twilight hour, when all is
calm and peaceful, to disengage myself from
the busy scenes of this world of din and
noise, and hold sweet converse with the
sleeping, tenants of the grave. l love to
wander amid the tombs, and read upon the
lettered stone or sculptured marble, the epi-
taph of those who have ''shuffied off this
mortal COLL" and laid them down ''to pleas
ant dreams" There sleep in unbroken
slumbers and peaceful repose, infancy in its
bud, youth in its bloom, manhood in its vigor,
and old age in its inirmity. There repose
the friends and companions of our youth,
with whom we were wont to spend the hal
cyon days of boyhood. There, too, are
sleeping the remains Of pious mother, or
a loved father, who in the wayward hours of
infancy, when we were tempted to leave the
path of rectitude, taught us to pray, and
prepare for heaven; and who, amid the last
pangs of dissolving mortality, bade us meet
them in that happy country, where
''Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more"
love to see the bell-hower, affections
appropriate emblem, bloom in grateful fra
GRANGE and attractive loveliness over the sa~
cred spot that marks the resting place of the
loved and beautiful-the pious and good of
other days. l love, like my blessed Re-
deemer, to shed the tear of sympathy and
affection over the turf-clad mound: for in
the touching and sublime words of scrip
ture, we are told-"JEsus wEpT,"
l love to visit the graveyard, because in
a few days, or years at farthest, it will be
the receptacle of this cumbersome clay-this
earthly tabernacle, which has SO long been
heir to athousand nameess ills and sorrows.
| love the grave because it is place of rest.
There nothing shall mar our slumber, or dis
turb our repose. There the wicked cease
to trouble and the weary are at rest" Well
may Job, in prospect Of rest in the grave,
eXclaim-'I would not live always" and
the Psalmist-"Oh, that had wings like a
dove, then would fly away and be at rest
There is a calm for those that weep
Arrest for weary pilgrims found,
They softly lie, and sweetly sleep
Low in the ground,
''The storm that wrecks the wintry sky,
No more disturbs their deep repose
Than summer evenings latest sigh
That shuts the rose"
But the grave is not the finale of man.
He is destined to rise in triumph from its
portals, and claim an iniinity Of being beyond
that starry realm. Behold, show you a
mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall
be changed in moment, in the twinkling Of
an eye, at the last trump; (for the trump
shall sound, and the dead shall be raised in
corcuptible, and we shall be changed. For
this corruptible must put on interruption,
and this mortal must put on immortal"
At the mandate of Divinity, shall earth
slumbering millions, who have so long quiet
ly reposed in the dust, come forth from the
dreary empire of the grave, with the loud
pean of victory and triumph on their immor.

ScoryDRELIsM.-On the 18th Of Au-
gust, negro man belonging to Mr.. Isaac
McGirk. Of this vicinity, ran away. On
Tuesday Of last week he was caught by a
Mr.. Allison, on Biackwatcr, in Cooper
county. After the negro had elonod suspi-
cion arose in the minds of some, that fcl-
low by the name of John Slavcns, who ltf
here on the preceding day. had aided him in
making his escape; pursuit was made, and
it was asceytained that Slayers, alias David
son, alias Jones, had taken the Arrow Rock
road. Mr.. McGirk overlook Slavens in
Howard county--had him arrested and ta-
before two Justices in Fayette. The testi-
mony was not sufficient TO authorize his COM
mitment, yet the statement Of the negro, and
the fact of the negro's having been seen with
him on the road, together with a number o.
other circumstances, satisfied every one that
Slavens and two other scoundrels who were
travelling with him, were running the ne
gro off.
The other two men hearing Of the arrest
of Slavens, made their escape. This Sla,
vens came 10 this city one, two or three
months ago, was married here in the Metho,
dist Church, to a woman, whom he brought
to the place with him, and whom, at some
places, on his way here he passed as his sis
ter. He called at a house in Saline county

that the gentleman had taken one up, hi
claimed the horse, proved him to be his pro
perty by his accomplices, took his horse int
Howard county and traded him off Mr.
McGirk heard of the fellows having passe'
himself off when on his way to this city, SOM
times by the name of Slayens-some time
by the name of Jones, and some times a

whether it will average more than the pres
ent crop. In the good crop years of 1912,

From the National Intelligcncer, August 25.
We are authorized TO state that the steam
frigate Saranac will be despatched forthwith
from Norfolk for Havana, with Commodore
Parker, ofthe Home Squadron, on board,
who has been instructed to inquire into all
the circumstances attending the capture and
execution of the American citizens recently
shot at that place, and to ascertain the proofs
under which they were put to death, for
having BEEN as alleged engaged in an arm
ed expedition which invaded the Island
A full investigation will also be had into the
circumstances Of firing at the United States
mail steamer Falcon, by Spanish cruiser.
At the same time that these steps are
being taken, renewed and rigid instructions
will be issued to the civil. military and na.
val officers of the Government, TO take all
legal steps, and employ all the means
their command, to check and break up any
armed and illegal expeditions from the Uni
ted States against the territories of friendly
powers, and to seize any vessels and arrest
all persons who may be concerned therein;
it being the fixed determination of the Gov
ernnent to maintain its treaty obligations
and to enforce the laws of the land, the re-
cent violation of which, in the case Of the
expedition Of the Pampero has led to such
lamentable results.
The Saranaa was waiting at Norfolk for
the purpose of conveying Governor Letchel
to Vera Cruz. on his way 10 resume his di
plomatie duties at the city Of Mexico; but
her present mission being Of such pressing
| importanc, she will depart without him, and
another conveyance will be provieed for that
gentleman.
The Saranac will leave Norfolk either this
afternoon or tomorrow.

that the most stringent orders were long
since issued and renewed on the subject hy

Topping Corn.

Perhaps there has been enoug h said IN IN
tho newspapers upon this subject, sill
it seems that it has not been very salts
factorily disposed of by your correspon.
dents. It is well to remember that there
is generally two sides to question, and
that people are apt to go upon extremes.
Perhaps some Of your correspondents
may think that their communications
would not be worth publishing if they
stated nothing but the plain unvarnished
truth, and gave the facts against their
theories as we'll as for them. would
not speak disparagingly of the articles in
the farmers department of the newspa.
per, for they are mostly instructive and
useful, but agricultural writers generally
are given to the fault of telling large sto'
ries, or trying to make out a clear case
in favor of some theory. And again,
some think that because certain prac-
tice is more profitable for them in one
section of the country, that it is for evc-
rybody else in different places, and under
other circumstances. For instance, a
farmer in South Carolina or Vermont
will tell US how to raise corn and secure
the fodder, and be as dogmatical as
though his town comprised the whole
corn growing country.
Where corn grows small so that it is
not bad to handle it may be better to cut
it up, and where labor is scarce and fod-
der, it is better labor to husk on the hill;
but where the corn is large and it is desi.
rable to save the most of the fodder, |
greatly prefer the topping process. |
grant that it costs about the same to top
an acre of corn and bind the stalks and
set them up, as it does to cut it up and
put it in stocks; but | must insist that
there is great difference in the quality
of the fodder; and man can husl: twice
as much in the hill as he can in the stock,
and if the ears are picked and drawn to
the barn he can husk three times as much,
and do it rainy days. Sheep may be
turned in to gather the lower leaves either
before or after topping.-Dollar News
