The Charges Against Governor Scott.

We print in another column an article
from the New York Sun, of Monday, pur-
porting TO be he voluntary statement OF Mr.
Samuel Hoggett, of No. 1913 Madison street,
New York, which statement is said to be
substantiated by several afhdayits made by
members of the party to which Mr.. Hoggett
belonged 1t is alleged by Mr.. Hoggett 'that
an agent OF Governor Scott went to New
York some three months since and engaged
twenty-five men to come TO South Carolina
to serve as deputy State constables. The
chief of this party was Colonel James E.
Kerrigau. They went to Columbia, and
were duly commissioned, and armed with
Winchester rifles. They found that Cover
nor Scott and his intimate friends thought
themselves in constant danger OF assassna-
ton by the bullets Of the Ku-Klux, and they
were informed that their particular duty was
to defend them and kill their enemies. Some
OF the leaders of the Ku-Klux were pointed
out to them. They were promised that if
these leaders were killed, the killers should
receive ten thousand dollars for each man
killed, and be protected by the State authori-
ties. These deputy constables were subse-
quently sent out to the Union gold mines,
fifty miles or thereabouts from the City OF
Columbia, to protect negro miners. On this
expedition, Mr.. Hoggett says, they we're ac-
companied by fifteen United States regulars
under Lieutenant Paul. They remained
there ten days, and were thrice attacked at
night, but do not appear to have killed any
one. Finally, after having been in the State

is not on his hands, and to be done at
some more busy season.
A neighbor of mine has made fence
as described below, suited, | think, TO
a land of prairie and poles:
Small rails from ouartered poles are
laid, with less thai he ordinary crook
of a worm fence, to the height Of four
rails, Halved poles are used for the
two upper rails; these last plf ced on
the edge to give greater height to the
fence. Two small stakes at eac angle
are let into the ground few in hes, to
give strength to the fence, and are held
by wire, above the fifth rail, Just far
enough apart to admit of the half
poles, the top rail being supported by
the wire some inches above the fifth
rail, if desired.
The advantages seem TO be these:
l. Small timber is turned to good ac-
count.
2. Fewer rails are required than in
common worm fences.
3. The fence can be easily moved,
when 1t has served its Office as an in
tenor fence, or to inclose ground till a
hedge can be grown.

Now is a good time to look over the
farm fences, and find where there is a
missing post, or board, or rail, or a
broken wire and now, while there is

and distributing, whatever needed,

as the frost is ont, and before the

needed at this season Of the year, is
but poor excuse for leaving them I'M

to 90 all that there may be to do; and

FELoNs.-The following simple pre-
scription is recommended as q cure for
this distressing ailment: Take common
rock salt. such as is used for sailing
pork or beef, dry in an oven, then
pound fine, and mix spirits of turpen-
tine equal parts. Put it on cloth and
wrap round the parts affected, and as
it gets dry put on more, and in twenty
four hours you are cured-the felon
will be dead 1t will do no harm to
try it.
To BRoIb FIsH.-When fish are
broiled, the bars of the grid-iron
should be rubbed over with little but
ter. Then place your fish, skin side
down, and do not turn it until nearly
done through. Save all your butter
till the fish is dished. In this way you
save the juices of the fish too. Fish
should be broiled slowly. When served,
fish should not be laid over each other,
if it can be avoided, The top ones
will be made tender and moist by the
steam and will break to pieces.
TREATMENT OF MAD-DoG BITES. DR..
Nathan r. Smith, of Baltimore, says
that he has in the course of fifty years
practice, treated many cases of bites by
rabid dogs, and always with success, if
called upon within three days after the
bite. His method of treatment is to
instantly wash again and again with soap
and water, and then apply to it n cylin-
drical piece of caustic potash cut in the
shape of pencil point. This should
be held in the wound firmly for fifteen
minutes. After the application of the
caustic, the wound should be poulticed
with bread and milk for two days, and
then dressed with simple salve. A
mere scratch is more dangerous than q
deep wound, as in the latter case the
flow of blood is apt to carry out the
poison with it.

How to Manage Spring Pigs.

In answer to this question, put by
one Of it's contributors, the American
Agriculturist has the following: 1t de-
ponds on the breed, the food at COM
mand, the conveniences for feeding, the
probable price for pork next fall, and
the price a year hence. We should
premise, however, that i'll any case the
pigs should have all they will eat of
some kind of food The only difference
to be made between growing pigs and
fattening pigs is in the characrer Of tho
food. A fattening pig requires rich,
concentrating food; growing pig, a
more bulky and less nutritious food; ;
but, in either case, the pig, to do we'll,
must have all it will eat If you have a
small boned, well -bred pig, such a
grade as Essex or Berkshire or
Suffolk, we think it would be far more
profitable, as a rule, to fatten spring
pigs than to winter them over. Let
them have the run of clover pasture,
all the milk and slop from the house,
and all the corn and other grain in wa
ter twenty four hours before feeding.
If we'll bred, such treatment should
give you pigs that will dress 800 pounds
by the LIST of December. On the other
hand, if you have coarse, large-boned
breed of pigs, the better plan will be to
winter them over. In this case, give
them the run of good clover pasture,
plenty of water, what waste from the
house You have to spare, and a little
grain to keep them growing as rapidly
as possible.

/. Set the hen in place where she
will not be disturbed.
,. Give large hen twelve or thirteen
eggs, medium sized one ten or twelve,
and small one eight or nine.
3. Don't lot the hen come out of the
setting-room until she has Matched, but
keep her supplied with gravel, food and
water
4. When the chickens are Matched,
leave them in the nest for eight or ten
hours.
5. Don't medddle with the eggs dur
ing incubation; turning them once a
day, and all such foolishness, is apt to
prevent the eggs from Matching.

Mnrk Twain.

Dom piatt recently met Mark Twain
in Washington. In the course of an
article upon Twain, Piatt makes the
following allusion to the circumstances
under which the Paris war map was
engraved
1t is quite impossible for him to
produce in his conversation n serious
effect. The exceedingly droll quaint
ness of his countenance, added TO the
drawl of his voice, makes one laugh
when the speaker is really trying to be
serious For example | had said TO
him that a contract to be funny at reg
ular intervals struck me as rather
heavy, and he replied by saying that
was so: while he might be sufficiently
entertaining to raise laugh when left
to himself, it became dreary stuff when
brought out in that manner on con
tract. Comfy think" he,said, 81 knew
that confounded thing had to be done,
and with a dear friend lying dead be-
fore me, and with my wife half dis
tracted ever the loss, had to get off
my articles so as not to disappoint my
publishers and when | sat down with
a board and penknife to engrave that
map of Paris, | did so with heavy
heart and in house of lamentatlon.
Now this was rather sad picture, and
he meant to impress me with the sor-
row he had left, bat yet it required the
greatest struggle on my part to refrain
from laughing as / heard it, felt
ashamed Of myself afterwards, for God
knows there is no wit or humor in that
unhappy story, nor did Mr. Clemens
mean there should be; and yet like
homne qu5 rit, the effect il always

Tricks OF Coniurers-The Risks they
Run.


Robert Houdin used TO say that if
the public knew what passes through
the mind of conjurer when he sees
the barrel of pistol turned toward
him in the course of fire arm trick. "
they would perhaps give him credit for
as much nerve and courage as the
bravest soldier shows in battle. An
omission in some tritling point, the
breaking Oft of a small part OF the false
ramrod, or of the real bullet as It is
being withdrawn, may make the dis
charge fatal
Often, too, the trick is new one,
and some mlscalculation may make the
plan failure where failure may mean
death. An unfortunate event which
took place in the Cirque Napoleon, at
Paris, strikingly illustrates Houdins
words. Dr. Upstein, the conjurer, had
offered gun to a spectator, with direc-
tions to take good aim at the doctor,
who was to receive the discharge on the
point of sword. The man refused,
but another fired off the gun as directed.
The moment after the doctor fell to the
ground seriously wounded 1t was
found that piece of the ramrod had
broken off in the barrel, and this, fred
off at SO close n range, had penetrated
the coniurer's right lung.
A circumstance in Houdin's life shows
how daringly the coniurers who amuse
us will often play with danger, depend
Tag on their ready fingers 10 secure
their safety He had performed some
startling tirearm tricks before party of
Arabians, making use, of course, of the
ordinary form of conjuring pistol
which is so contrived that the ramrod
withdraws the bullet While the rest
of the party were expressing their adj
miration, crafty old Marabout, who
had some suspicion of the true nature
of the trick, said, "The stranger is
doubtless a strong magician will he
suffer me to fire at him with my own
pistols ~ eyes, "said Houdin, ,mhesi-
tatingly, "but first / must make invo-
cation to those who assist men
The next day he met the same party,
and offered n saucerful of bullets to the
inspection of the Marabout. Satisfied
that they we're lead-as indeed they
were--the Arab handed His pistols to
Houdin, who loaded them, using the
Arabs ramrod. His own friends were
in terror, and even his wife, well as she
knew his skill, was in perplexity when
she saw him hand back to the Arab one
of the loaded pistols.
"Now fire." he said,
The Arab did SO, and Houdin was
seen with the bullet between his teeth.
"Bah," he said, Selling the other
pistol, "you cannot use your own
weapons. See here. You have been
unable to draw blood from my flesh,
and / will draw blood from yonder
| wall"
He aimed at the wall, fred, and inn
mediately a stain of blood was seen.
| The Marquis went up to the wall, and
when he had dipped his finger in the
blood, which was tnckling down, his
awe and amazement were go great thai
his features assumed a CHASTITY hue
Yet the trick was simple enough, two
prepared bullets having been skillfully
substituted by Houdin for the leader
bullets he took from the saucer But
the experiment was quite new, and
Houdin tells us that he trembled and
could scarcely control his terror as he
saw the Marabout drawing the trigger
of the pistol.

The China Trade.

1t is stated that by the opening of
the Pacific Railroad, the importation
of teas destined for the Atlantic ports
will be attracted to San Francisco. -
Thus the freight from China to San
Francisco on pound of tea is one
cent, and thence to New York three and
one half cents making four and half
cents for the entire distance. The
freight via the Cape of Good Hope to
New York is two cents a pound-but
three months additional time will be
required for the transportion. Consider
ing the tea to be worth 81 pound, the
interest on this value for three months
at eight per cent. per annum will
amount to two cents, and the additional
insurance will amount to one and one
half cents, so that the expenses are
brought up to one and half cents-or
one cent over the charges on the San
Francisco route. This calculation has
lately appeared in the newspapers /;
but it must be observed that the ad-
vantages OF the San Francisco route
can only be obtained when high priced
teas are concerned. On teas worth
fifty cents pound the freight and the
interest and the insurance for three
months would bring the expense by the
New York route up to three cents and
three-quarters, being three fourths Of a
cent less than by the San Francisco
and Pacific Railroad routes.

A Living Fortune.

The Opelousas Journal has this article:
1t is said that Mr.. Lastie Dupre, of this
parish, owns about twenty thousand head
of cattle, ranging over the greater part of
southwestern Louisiana, from Bayou Teche
and from Bayou Chicot on the north to the
gulf on the south. His principal vacherie
IS on the Bayou Nezpique, about thirty or
more miles west of Opelousas, on the line
between this parish and Calcasieu. His
agent or stock-keeper, residing at this yache-
RE, is a colored man, who has been in his
employ for many years, and IN whose hon
esty and ability he has implicit confidence
This colored man is said to be worth about
fifteen thousand dollars, made in Mr.. Du-
pres service.
From this stock of cattle between two
and three thousand calves are branded
every year. The stock-keeper is compen-
stated for his services at the rate OF fifty
cents in silver for each calf branded; and
this is the greatest or only expense incurred
in raising the cattle. The entire stock are
not worth less than two hundred thousand
dollars. The annual revenue derived from
the yearly increase can not be less than tf-
teen thousand dollars, clear of all expenses;
it is probably much more.
Mr.. Dupre, like many others, lost large
fortune by the war in other property, but
this stock of cattle has kept him rich. And
no man better deserves his good fortune,
which is simply the result of his industry
and good management, than he; for no man
is more honest, and few as kind hearted,
charitable, and willing to relieve the suffer
ing as Mr. Lastie Dupre.
