Rules for Managing Cows,

Cows should run dry six weeks before
calving; if MIXED closely toward calving,
the calves will be poorer.
A COW newly come in should not drink
cold water in cold weather, but moderate
ly warm slop. Calves intended for raising
should be taken from the COWS within a
few days, and they will be less liable to
suck when they are old. Feed them first
on new milk for while, then skim milk
taking care that all the changes are grad
ual, by adding only portion at first.
Hearty eaters are desirable for cows,
and may usually be selected while calves.
A dainty calf will be a dainty COW.
Heifers dried up too early after calving,
will always run dry about the same time
in after years-therefore be careful to milk
closely the first year, until about six weeks
before calving.
Spring cows should come in while they
are yet fed on hay, and before they are
turned to grass, which will be more likely
to prevent caked bag and milk fever
How is it possible to expect that man
kind will take advice, when they will no
SO much as take warning.

NEGRO EMPIRE.
4 Leaf from Past History.

y
The question of niger supremacy,
which the extreme measures of the radicals
have thrust upon the country, was practi
cally illustrated in more than one locality
down South during the radical regime
which Immediately followed the collapse
of the rebellion. Notably was this the
case among the sea islands Of South Caro-
lima and Georgia, where Gen. Saxton pur-
sued thcpolicy now advocated by Wendell
Phillips and Thad Stevens, and gave all
power into the hands Of the coiored race.
The result was thus described in letter
from g special correspondent Of the New
York Herald. published June 2, 1866,
and more than confirmed afterwards by
official reports -
Or St. Catharine's Island, Georgia, tie

we'd their richest Development and cullni-
mated in the virtual establishment Of q mig
ger empire, which came about in this way.
4 full-blooded negro, named Tunis G..
Campbell, son Of preacher haiiing from
New Brunswick, British America, pos
sessed Of some little education, much cum
ming and unbounded ambition, was appoin-
ted an agent Of tie Bureau under General
Saxton, and assigned to the charge Of ST.
GATHERINGS and Ossabaw islands, at that
time occupied exclusively by the negroes
who had lived there as slaves, and by col
ored refugees who came there to avail them
selves Of Gen. Sherman's order A very
simple form Of government had been i'm
provised for their guidance, and some
three or four Of their number had been ap-
pointed to see justice done among them
This system of government was far too
simple for Mr. Campbells ideas. He at
once upset it and turned the old resident
negroes out Of their cabins, telling them
they were only refugees" but that they
the new comers) were American citi-
zens." He then set to work and organic
ed little empire of his own, taking for
his model the constitution Of the u. States,
but reserving therein SO strong spice of
autoeratic power for himself, that he was
ever afterwards known and spoken of as
the Tycoon. I had the felicity, while at
St. Catherine, Of looking into the laws and
constitution Of the empire. There was a
Senate composed of eight members, four
elected from the north side Of the island
and four from the south House Of Rep
resentatives, comprising twenty members,
ten representing the north and ten the
south There was Supreme Court and
Court Of Common Pleas There were
magistrates, sheriGs, town clerks, coroners,
and every officer down to road-master

LITTLE WILLIE.
BY MATTHIAS BARR.

Willie he sits in his little chair
BY the freside, musng with brow Of care;
What is he dreaming CT, idle boy
Lesson or play, or cake or toy
Willie has eyes that are bright and blue,
Lips like rose in the morning dew,
Sunbeams that glitter around his face,
Feet that are music about the place.
Sorrow and Willie walk wide apart;
Life hath no sadness to touch his heart
Nothing but pleasure his thoughts to fill;
What are you dreaming Of; tell me, Will?
sFather, Father I wonder sore
Why Lizzie comes back to you no more;
Sister Lizzie they carried away
Over the hills, that snowy day.
ssWhen you are sleeping so sound and still,
And the moon lies white on the window sill,
She comes and stands BY my little bed,
And lays her hand On my aching head.
"And she looks so pure in her robes of light.
With her pale, pale brow and her wings SO
white ;
And she smiles so sweet as she looks on me,
[ know that in heaven her home must be.
"And then she kisses me, oh, how sweet
And father, hear her your name repeat;
I hear her murnrur prayer for you
In her baby voice, as she used to do;
"she tells me TO love you, father dear;
Never to bring you q sigh or tear;
Never to whiten your head with shame;
Never dishonor your spotless name.
"And she tells me, father. of endless day,

Where there is never thought of care;
And mother, she says, is smiling there.
81 think she must weep. too, father dear,
To see yeu sitting so lonely here,
With cheeks so pale and with locks SO gray,
Thinking Of her, SO far away.
ssShe tells me we all shall meet again,
Oh far from this world of sin and pain
Where sorrow is joy, and strife is rest,
And our happy home on the Savioar's breast.
ssAnd mother is waiting our steps to hear,
Wishing and wishing the hour were near,
When God shall call us to joy above,
And We go from earth to the land Of love.

That your eye is dim and your cheek is wan,
Watching and waiting to see the dawn.

strength at the Sea Hotel. in Chesterfield,
England, TO establish his claims as the
strongest man in the world,
He held fifty-six pound weight in va
rious positions, at arms length, and in
creased the number until he raised four
fifty-six pound weights above his head,
holding them at arms length, and at the
same time standing upon four tumbler
glasses. He also held the weights on the
topofthe glass, and allowed glass Of water
to be placed upon the top Of the weights.
He laid fat upon the floor and let g fifty
six pound weight fall distance Of about a
yard on his bare chest, and the weight re-
! bounded as thought it had come 10 contact

REMARKABLE FEoUNDIrY. We briefly
stated on Friday last, that German,
named John Haefier, living in this city,
had, on the previous day, followed to tie
grave his thirty-third child, and that he
was tie father of thirty-seven children.
Since then we have learned some further
particulars Of this remarkable case. Haef-
fer was married three times His first
marriage took place in Germany when he
was twenty-one years Of age. With this
wife he had seventeen children. At four
successive accouchments, triplets; twice
twins, and the last single birth Short
y after the latter event the wife died. He
was again married, and the issue of the sec
ond was fifteen children-seven times twins
and the eight single child. This wife
also died shortly after the last birth His
third and present wife has thus far present.
ed him with five children, one at birth
The sex of the children were nineteen boys
and eighteen girls, only four of whom are
now living-but whether the living are all
issue of the last wife or part of the previ-
Gus wives, we have not ascertained. Haef-
fer is now ifty-two years Of age, Of me-
dunn size, and Of hardy, vigorous consti-
tuition. -Lancoster (Po.) E1press

WOODSTOCK VIRGINIA, THURSDAY. AUGUST 80 1867

Thus the Chief Justice Of the Supreme
Court was empowered, among other duties,
to preside in the Police Court, (ias con-
junction acath the Superintendent, } and to
charge fve-and-twenty cents for the issu-
ing of summonses. Appeals from his de-
cision might be taken to the Supreme
Court where they would be heard by the
Chief Justice (in conjunction ao:th tie ST.
perintendeat.) To secure due observance
of these regulations King Campbell I. rails
ed standing army, placed guards and
pickets around the coast, and Jforbide any
pl.ste man to land a'ader peril Of has life
Everything being .hus established to his
satisfaction, he convened his cabinet to-
gether and issued the following
PROCLAMATION.
Whereas We, through the goodness of
God, the Supreme Being, have prospered
upon this island and whereas we feel
now the influence of the boon of freedom,
which we believed emanated from God,
Therefore [, Tunis G. Campbell, Agent
Of the Bureau Of Freedmen, Refugees and
Abandoned Lands for ST. GATHERINGS and
Ossabaw Islands, by virtue of the power
vested in me by the President of the Uni
ted States and Brigadier General Saxton,
do issue this my proclamation, that the
people do assemble on December 5, 1865,
at their churches, and invoke Divine aid
and return thanks for His great mercy in
delivering us from the bond Of slavery,
and all other mercies vouchsafed to US.
In testimony whereof [ have hereunto
set my hand and seal.
TUNIS G. CAMPBELL,

1t was only with great difficulty that
Gen. Tilson succeeded in deposing Tycoon
Campbell from his throne and reducing
him to the subordinate position he was
more qualified to fill. 7 met the ex. mon
arch at Savannah, where he was playing
the humble role of delegate to the Conven-
tion of the African Episcopal Church, as
sembled in the city. He seemed to bear
his misfortunes with pious equinimity,
contenting himself by insinuating ground
less charges against the agent Of the Bu-
eau who had succeeded him. I saw, al
so, at Sapelo Island the ex-Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court, full blooded Con-
go, attired in a brown notified blouse,
dark trousers and dirty shirt, but bearing
withal a dignifed reserve which Dir. Chase
himself could hardly surpass. restrained
my risible faculties, not knowing whether
Congress might not soon reinstate him in
his judicial position, and thus subject me
to the dire pains and penalties Of q con-
tempt Of court.
Ali the time the ludicrous burlesque of
government above described was going on
not a stroke Of work was done. The most
productive cotton lands in the world were
allowed TO lie waste, and when winter came
the freedmen had to be fed and clothed by
the Freedmen s Bureau. With a controll-
ing balance Of power placed in the hands
+ of the enlancipated slaves what security is
there that Iunis G. Campbell will not turn
up all over the country, and that the sys-
tenn of government which the niger Ty-
coon established On ST. GATHERINGS Island
will not be transferred to Washington.
