An Alligator Story.
Editor Planters Banner

Editor Planters Bun,1e,':
want to tell an alligator story that
knocks to pieces all sensational ro-
nance, or the most horrid forms of
nightmare ever produced by eating
sucking pig for supper. 1t reminds
one of the fight of Clubin with the
pieurre or jelly fish, i'm the s'Toilers of
the Sea-"
Yesterday u colored woman, the wife
of George Harmelin, on Nine. o. Della
houssaye's plantation, was washing her
clothes on the bank of the Grand Marais
canal, about four feet deep at this time.
A large black alligator, twelve feet long,
which had few days before captured
n large hog, and which was probably
hidden in the bushes, seeking its prey,
darted in a noiseless, stealthy way and
caught the woman by the arm bragg
ing her in the water. She succeeded in
disengaging her arm, when the mon
ster enclosed her head in it's jaws, and
brought her once more under the wa
ter. Then a frightful struggle took
place the neighbors too far Off to hear
the cries of the unfortunate woman she
was left to defend her own life. She
can't give an exact account of the man.
ner by which she eXtricated her head
from the monsters jaws, but said she
never lost presence of mind and her
fixed purpose of reaching the bank
She succeeded at last and offered then n
pitiab1e aspect indeed. Her arm pre-
scented several deep cuts, one of them
coming very near the artery of the
pulse. The forehead had also some
deep wounds, but the fangs Of the ALI
gator had not pierced the back hair or
chignon. None of these bites were torn
or jagged, but all offered clean, linear
shape, like that Of u fine edged knife.
I saw the woman about an hour after
the accident and could detect no trace
of excitement in her manner. Isuppose
she owes her life to her sang f1'oid and
self-possession. Old hunters remark
that swamp alligators are more ferocious
than the lake Or bayou specimens
This one had 4 turned up snout like
the Nile alligator SO we'll known for its
ferocity; at least, so say the neighbors.
The noiseless approach Of the animal
not creating a ripple or cracking in
the weeds-and seizing the arm Of the
unalarmed woman are very remarka-
BILE. Every reader can picture his or
her feelings in the same case.
I am, very respectfully, yours,
A. MAGTIRE.

Fruit Trees.

The following respecting fruit trees
will be found interesting:
!. When fruit trees occupy tho
ground nothing else should except
very short grass.
2. Fruitfulness and growth OF trees
cannot be expected the same year.
3. There is no plum that the curcu-
lilo will not take, though many kinds
may sometimes escape for year OF
so in one place.
4. Peach borers viii not ito 80 lnuel,
damage when stiff clay is heaped all
around the tree a foot high.
S. Pear blight still puzzles the great
est men. The best remedy known is
to plant two for every one that dies.
6. If you don't know how to prune,
do not hire a man from the other side
of the sea, who knows less than You.
Z. Don't cut off a big lower limb I'M
less you are Il renter, and don't care
what becomes Of the trees when your
time is out.
8. A tree with limbs coming out near
the ground is worth three trees trimln-
ed up five feet.
9. Trim down, not up.
10. Shorten in, not lengthen up.
II. If you had your arm cut Off, you
would feel it to your heart; tree can
not feel, but rots to the heart.
IL. When any body tells you of u
gardener that understands all about
horticulture and agriculture, and he
can be hired, don't believe n word Of
1t. Such a man can make more than
you can afford to give him; and if he
has sense enough to understand the bus
mess, he will have sense enough to
know this.

Economy in Farming.

Jos. Harris, of Rochester, says that a
good grindstone, set true, and run by
horsepower, for tools, hoes, and spades
and pillow coulters, will pay for itself in
a month. He makes his men grind
their hoes every morning, and take a
file and sharpen them when they be-
come dull. His men think it extrav-
agant to grind away the hoes, but he
can buy dozen hoes for less than he
pays one of them for a weeks
work. Tools cost nothing in compsri-
son to labor. 1t does not pay to give
\ man a dollar and q half a day to load
manure with a dung-fork, with one or
two teeth out. a dull, rusty hoe will
cost more than q dozen new ones.
Good working horses are cheaper than
poor ones.

Harry's Sermon.

"Eddie," said Harry, ''let's play at
going to church, and I'll be the minis
ter and preach you a Sermon
"Well," said Eddie, "and IN be the
people,"
So they went up stairs together
Harry set an old fire screen up before
him, by way of n pulpit, and thus be-
gan:
"My text is a very short and easy
one, sBe kind There are some texts
in the Bible on purpose for little chill
dren, and this is one of them. These
are the heads of my sermon:
"Firstly. Be kind to father, and don't
make a noise when he has n headache.
I don't believe you know what head
ache is, but do. had one once, and
I didn't want to hear any one speak II
word.
"Secondly. Be kind to mother, and
don't make her tell you to do thing
more than once. It's very tiresome to
say, it's time to for you go to bed half
a dozen times over.
seThirdly. Be kind to baby"
"You have left out, 'Be kind to Har-
ry,'" broke in Eddie, forgetting that
he was 'the people,
eyes," said Harry, 81 don't mean to
mention my own name in my sermons.
ssFourthly. Be kind to Jane, and
don't scream and k ick when she washes
and dresses YOU"
Here Eddie looked Il little ashamed
and said: "But she pulled my hair
with the comb"
"People mustn't talk In church.
"Fifthly. Be kind to kittie, and do
what will make her purr, and don't do
what will make her scratch and
"Isn't the sermon nearly done"'
asked Eddie. 81 want to sing" and
without waiting for Harry to finish his
or to give out a hymn, he
began to sing, and Harry had to stop !;
but it was a very good sermon after all.
Don't you think so?

was a parrot sly,
And lived with Kitty McGee;
And Kitty McGee was a queer old bag,
As you shall shortly see.
Kitty was rich, and was stingy, too,
And mover a beggar came,
But she turned him away with n "(iit yOu
gone
And she always said the same.
And Jig-a-ma-rig, he said it too,
And said it SO very plain,
That visitors thought it was kitty's voice
And never came back again.
Alas, poor Kitty! she broke her leg,
In her cellar dark and deep;
And family she cried for human aid,
And many day did weep.
But when a soul came near her door,
Whose hand would set her bones.
The Git you gomez of JIg-a-ma-rig
Was heard above her groans.
And when her body was wearied out,
And death itself occurred,
The "Git you gone" of Jig-a-ma-rig
Was tho only prayer she heard.

[Erom the Memphis Avalanche.

[From the Memphis Avalanche.
TRENTON, Tenn, July 21.-Captain
Seat, an old and respected citizen of our
town, died some weeks since. In the
perusal of his file of papers found the |
following letters to him from David
Crockett, the embodiment of unique
ness, who was an old friend of Seat.
You will see that they pay no regard
whatever to punctuation, and you will
have to be governed by the context to
ascertain where he intends his stops
You will further see that he was not
particular as to the use of capital letters.
Thinking perhaps these two letters
would be of some importance to you, I
herewith inclose them, hoping you may
appreciate the same from an unintro-
duced friend and fellowcitizen who de-
sires the wholesale PRONUNCIATION of
the Avalanche's conservative ideas
throughout the whole country, and that
it may be caught up by other people in
other chimes, and Justify lisped by the
same until conservatism, both in poll
tics and religion, shall pervade the
whole world which is compelled to take
place in 1900, and I do pray you and I
may live to see the ushering in Of that
dawn. Your friend, r.. E. B.
The letters referred to are as follows:

Sound Advice to the Little Folks.

The following swords in season"
ought to be attentively perused by ma
ny Little Folks and grown up people
best little children in the world silent
~, but surely, learning bad lessons and
imbibing evil principles from other
children whose training is left to the
streets and to chance. 1t is so much
trouble to train the little ones, that pa
rents too often make n convenience of
sending their neglected offspring away
from home, or indulge them in loafing
and idleness, In hopes, perhaps, that by
associating with good children they
will learn to be well-trained boys and
girls themselves. It is sinful practice,
which will inevitably bear its bitter
fruit. We thank our young contribu-
tor for her wise counsel, and trust it
will be needed by some parents at least.
ED. TELEGRAPH.1
LoGTowN, La, Aug. "a, 1871.
Editors Telegraph:
In your issue of the 10th inst. there
the little lassies and laddies should
write you a little letter for the Little
Folks department that would be some
what amusing or interesting. Now I
think this is as it should be, and I will
endeavor to comply with your request
by giving little wholesome counsel
not only to the little folks but to those
who pride themselves on more immense
magnitude.
Then to begin, 1 would say to parents
that there is no point that they should
more strictly guard than the associa-
tons of their Chi ldren. Many children
have been effectually and hopelessly
ruined by the association of idle and
vicious playmates. Children under no
parental restraints are unfit companions
for the offspring of those who are striv-
ing to train their families for respecta-
bility and usefulness, either in Church
or State. Such will counteract the adj
vice and destroy all the influence of the
wisest and best parents; and to the
young reader (lihe myself) 1 would say
bear with me while I suggest to you
that you cannot be too careful in the
of your intimate associates.
The gay, the proud, the vain, the idle,
the profane, the Sabbath breaker and
all those who love foolish pleasures, the
neglect of their intellectual improve
nent and moral culture of their affec-
tons and passions, will be to you dan
gerous companions. While, on the con-
trary, if you seek the society of those
who revere their parents, love their
studies, are amiable in their DISPOSE
tons, benevolent in their hearts, pol
ished in their manners, and industrious
in their habits, you will derive peculiar
advantages, and form friendships which
will be as enduring AS life itself, and
after the shores Of time have been past
will revive and bloom in the celestial
world. u. W. T..
