rouohInr storr Of old slarery Wines.

THE horrors and infamy Of the old slav-
cry system are we'll illustrated In the case
ofa handsome and intelligent brunette,
Lizzie Carlton, who, number of years
ago, went to Louisville, Ky, and obtained
q situation with dressmaker. She be-
came so popular in the establishment that
she was made superintendent, and, by her
amiability and pleasant manners, gained
many sincere friends, She Joined the
Baptist Church, and, after time was
married to one Of its most prominent
members, Philip Slaughter. They lived
very happily together until, one evening, a
Mississippi planter appeared at their home
with policeman, and claimed Mrs. Slaugh-
ter as his runaway slave. She denied the
truth of the story, declaring she was the
daughter of Portuguese woman and a
wealthy New Orleans planter, who, to
conceal their relation from his wife, took
his mistress to his house as his slave, she
consenting for loves sake The assump-
tion was plausible, as the Portuguese was
so dark as to appear like bright mulatto.
Slaughter was so moved by his affection
that he kept the scandal quiet by buying
his wife from the planter. He was weak
minded and weak hearted, however, and
was induced to believe, by his relatives,
that the woman must have negro blood in
her veins, and that il would ruin him, So
cially, to live with her. Consequently, be
turned his wife into the street She went
from one place to another, supporting her
self as a seamstress, and in two months
gave birth to child. She bore up brave
ly until her husband married again. That
broke her heart, and she died in few
weeks, in the arms of Sister of Charity
After her death, several friends of Philip
Slaughter went to Louisiana TO ascertain
the facts of the painful affair (they have
just been disclosed), and learned that they
were exactly as the poor woman had relat
ed them.
1t seemed that the New Orleans planter
had died suddenly without revealing the
truth about his Portuguese mistress, who
soon followed him to the grave. His estate
being much involved, the slaves, among
them little Lizzie, were sold to a stranger
who had no doubt she was as much hi;
lawful property us the other chattels. Hel
new master, when the girl reached fourteen
determined to debauch her, and so she raj
away, carrying with her the story, told he
by her mother, which nobody would be
lie7e. This distressing and o'er-true tai,
reads like romantic fiction, and needs only
amplitication to make novel of painfullN
absorbing interest. Who says that ou
war, with all its cost of blood and treasure
was too dearly wsged, when it has mad

A GOOD Rat Trap.

FARMERS who are troubled with these
pestifcrous, destructive rodents about their
barns and stables, might try the following
plan given by the Journal Of the Farm /:
Take barrel, which will hold water, cut
the head little smaller than the top OF the
barrel, pass a string through the center of
the head, and hang it up so that it may
hang perfectly free inside the barrel, three
or four inches below the chine. Now, put
in five or six inches of water, and drop
some grease on the top of the barrel head,
which you must balance by tacking on
some Thin pieces Of lead place your trap
where the rats can get on it easily, and it
is ready. They come up to the grease, and
in stepping on one side of the head the
other naturally tips up, and in goes the rat.
The head soon gains its equilibrium, and
is ready for another. Sometimes, when
there is considerable grease around where
they can get it they won't take it for bait.
In This case, put little anise-seed in your
bait"

Hints from n Housewife.

PERHAPS some Of your housekeeping
readers do not know of certain economi
cal expedients in domestic management
that have somehow crept into our prac-
tice. Brooms are so generally used and
abused, that, their freshness worn of, they
are too soon discarded. When a broom
begins to succumb TO wear and tear, place
it in pan of boiling water for few sec
onds, shaking it well, and drying it quick

Grass Lands.

IT is not profitable use of manure to
apply it to meadow land in the spring, un-
less it is thoroughly decomposed. Then
the earlier it can be spread, the better for
the grass. But if it is desirable TO apply
manures to keep up the yield, the best
time is directly after moving. The ma
nure then protects the roots and crowns
of the plants from the intense heat, the
soil does not become hard and dry, and the
aftermath is rank and thick BY spring
time the water will have carried the fertil-
izing properties into the sod, and the grass
will receive their full benefit in the next
growth.
Leaf mold, decayed sod, and even rich
earth, may be mixed to great advantage
with barn-yard manure to make dressing
for meadows. We have seen good results
from the application Of earth alone to
grass plats-especially TO those long seed
ed. On clay soils it is better to use allu'
vial deposits, and on sandy, or rather light
lands, apply clay,-American Rural Home

How a Clerk Got Promo ted.

THE Troy Times tells this story of Col.
James II. Hooker, an eccentric character,
who died in that city some twenty years
ago "a remarkable man was Col. Hooker,
and very eccentric withal. At times he
would fairly boil over with passion, and
was very violent in his speech and action.
Yet he was just man, and directed his
fury against only what he believed to be
wrong and Tascally. 1t is related of him,
that having a dispute with one of his
clerks, the latter would not yield the point
inissue to him, whereupon the Colonel un-
dertook to put his stubborn employe out
of his office. But the clerk was too much
for the irate Colonel, end in the melee the
old man was laid upon his back, and his
countenance rather unpleasantly tapped.
Rising from his position, he proceeded TO
wash his battered countenance, brushed
his clothes carefully, and, seating himself,
asked the victorious clerk to come to him
and report. Said he; "a pretty thing
you've done, Sir; got yourself into bad
scrape; committed assault and battery
licked your employer. This shows that
there's stuff in you, you miserable sinner,
and now, you internal scamp, am going
to pay you for it. You are discharged from
the desk you now hold, and to morrow
morning want you take place next to
me, and hereafter act as my confidential
clerk, with your salary increased $3.50.
That's all now go about your business.
The clerk thus promoted held the conf
dental position assigned him many years
during the remainder of the Colonels life
time, and never had to whip his employer
again to get an advance of salary"

Quit Drugging.

This is now admitted by the medical profession
as a fundamental principle of healing science. 1t
is wisely provided by the human economy that
whenever anything is wrong in the physical sys-
tenn the natural forces of the body are brought to
bear to expel the disease. The great aim, there
fore, is to strengthen the natural powers. This
has been kept in view by the skillful compounders
OF Hostetter's Stomach Btters, which operates to
give fresh vitality to all the organs of the body.
The effect of this medicine upon the stomach, the
liver and the kidneys is prompt and decisive. The
patient who is wise enough TO quit drugging and
try the Bitters soon feels as II he had taken new
lease of life, and as he continues the uNe of the
article, he is overjoyed TO find the streams Of
health cOursing through hisframe. 1t is prepared
with great care, and its component parts are en-
tirely vegetable Il is free from the objections 30
often urged against preparations of the kind. As
a medicinal agent It has no equal, while lite pleas
ing flavor and heathful effects have made 1t a
general favorite. 1t is free from all properties cal
culated to impair tine system, ana Its operations
are at once mild. soothing and efficient. All who
have used Hostetter's Stomach Bitters attest its
virtues and commend It.
Even those who are in the enjoyment OF perfect
health frequently have need to have recourse to
toncs as prvventives Of disease We are never
too well armed against the assaults of "the ills
that flesh Is heir to-" In health or sickness, this
