ONIONS FOR ALL.

We always defer to the prejudices Of
ladies', but we cannot resist an impulse
to outrage their tastes by printing the
following A writer says, 1--WE are often
troubled with coughs the result of colds
long standing, which may turn to con-
sumption or premature death. Hard
coughs cause sleepless nights, constant
irritation in the throat, and strong ef-
fort TO throw off offensive matter from
the lungs. The remedy propose has
been tried by me, and often recommen-
ded to me with good results, which is
simply to take into the stomach before
retiring at night, piece Of raw onion,

cooked state is very heating, and tends
to collect the waters from the lungs aud

Parties from West Alabama say the
Warner and Tombigbee rivers have been

water last week from one river to the
other for several miles up, entirely
drowning out the crops on number OF
large and valuable plantations The
destruction extends on river line of at
least six hundred miles.
Large numbers are leaving here for the

STRAWBERRIES.

In the season of strawberries, it is the
rage TO eat them when smotbered in
crane" The Gardeners Chronicle gives
us juicy hint upon this subject, when
it says; Throughout Sicily it is the Gus
tom to eat strawberries along with sugar
aad the juice of an orange or two, The
strawberries, a small kind, are served
without their stalks, are crushed with
white powdered sugar, and the juice OF
an orange is squeezed over them. The
result is most fragrant and agreeable
compound much superior, in my opinion,
to strawberries and cream Indeed,
think it is all but worth while to make a
journey to Sicily TO be initiated into this
mode of eating strawberries

An unfortunate rencontre occurred on
the premi, es of Mr. Joseph Rives, OF TINS
county, between Mr. John Rives, and a
negro man named Rob, formerly owned
by Mr.. Brasher, which resulted in the
death of the negro Mr.. Rives and the
negro were plonghing together, and Mr.
r. in one day gained very considerably
on the negro, showing that the Negro was
not working as he should. This tact Mr.
r. reported TO the superintendent OF the
place, who reprimanded the negro for his
lazness, which very much enraged him
against Mr. Rves. On Wednesday Mr..
Rives again made round on the negro.
When coming out at the end of the row,
the negro said, you have gained another
round on me, have YOU" Mr. r replied,

in an article upon this subject in ou'
issue of the Oath, we meant to convey
the idea that the crop would not possibly
erceed 1890, 900 bales, and we think we
demonstrated it by facts and figures.
We do not really 6eiiepe it will be over
100000 bales, but we have no figures
that can bring the subject home SO
simply and indisputably to our North

From Washington.

WAsHINGToS, May 3l,-There was a
continuation Of the debate on the eonsti-
,utional amendment in the Senate yes
terday. In reply to an inquiry, Howard
said that the last clause of the third Sec
ton made it discretionary with Congress
TO remove the disabilities generally, or
in Individual cases.
Salisbury moved for the removal Of
such Disabilities, or that they be placed
within the scope Of the Presidents par
doning power Disagreed to-yeas 10,

Doolittle said the contending section
was a just discrimination and intended
as a punishment, and that at the same
time he desired that treason should be
made odious, he thought only the princi-
pal traitors should be punished.
Mr. Salisbury asked how many be
wished punished
Mr. DooIiitle replied that as the Sena-

ought to be satisfied with that number.
