CURIOUS AccIDENT-CUFFEE Nor TO BE
KILLED BY DROPPING HIM ON His HEAD
The Memphis (Tenn.) Ledger says: "a curl.
GUS accident occurred on the Mississippi and
Tennessee Railroad last Saturday, near the
State line. ten miles south of the city. The
up.train, Conductor Harry Childress, carrying
a large number of visitors to the Exposition,
was rushing along a straight piece of track,
near Joiner's crossing, when the engineer saw
one hundred yards ahead of him an apparition
calculated to startle the coolest man into ex-
element From out of the woods, private
crossing, a double mule team, pulling wagon
loaded with cotton, on the top OF which ne
gro lay asleep, appeared ON. the track Inc
mules lazily dragged the load up on the road
bed and stopped to rest for few seconds. A
pull of the bell and wild shrek of the whls-
tie gave warning of the danger to the brakes
men, who rushed to the brakes as the engine
was reversed. Conductor Childress rushed out
and looked ahead only to see the COW catcher
drive under the wagon-the mules, by a sudden
leap, having cleared the outside rail. A shock
took place, the cotton bales and the negro were
hurled high in the air, the mules were thrown
half dozen yards from the track, and the
train passed on some distance, when itstopped.
The conductor rushed back to pick up the
dead "nigger," but on arriving at the scene OF
the collision he found the cotton bales out in
the the woods woods and the wagon torn into thousand
pieces. Rushing up the bank, he discovered
the mules flying through an open field, and
saw the now awakened driver running at full
speed up the road, minus coat and hat. The
negro was thrown up about ten feet, aud fell
head foremost into ditch and as the train
passed raised his head. his countenance ex-
pressing the greatest terror. The conductor
seeing that no damage was done-except to the
wagon-returned to the train, firmly convinced
that it is impossible to kill darkey by drop
ping him on his head from any heighth. That
colored person will never so to sleep near
railroad track again.

RATrLEsNAKE F1GHr.-Mr w. Fl. Dickson,
who lives near Des Arc, Arkansas, while pas
sing through an old field grown up with
weeds, had his attention attracted by noise a I,
few rods distant, and went to see what caused
it. He discovered two large rattlesnakes tight
ing, and watched the battle for some time
Tbev would raise their heads nearly three feet
from the ground and strike at each other, in.
serting their poisonous fangs in the body of
each and then release themselves and do the
same thing over again. During the fight they
would occasionally emit q white looking fluid
from their mouths. Mr.. Dickson shot one OF
them, and the other escaped. He afterwards
found the other dead near where the battle was
fought. One of them was five feet long, large,
and had seventeen rattles. The other was six
feet feet long, slender, and had twenty-six rattles.
This is the first time we ever heard of rattle
snakes fighting. 1t is death to the victor as
we'll as to the vanquished.

THE PROTECTION AND PLANTING OF FOREST
TREES. time has arrived, when, in many
parts of our country, the, want of forest trees
for the purpose Of building fencing, fuel, shade,
shelter and general effect in the landscape, is
being keenly felt. 1t is; therefore, plain enough
that in the clearing of farms great care should
be taken to leave belts and masses of trees; for,
although single trees and little groups, when
stripped OF the protection of larger masses, may
not be able to withstand the elements, still
those of greater extent serve the most desirable
purposes, both for use and ornament. The
mania, in many regions of country, for strip
ping the whole face of nature of every tree and
shrub is so great as to destroy some of the finest
effects of the most charming landscapes. Would
it not be we'll to use great judgment in deci-
ding what trees should be cut down? The tree,
a hundred years in growing, may be cut down
in an hour Then let the noble and beautiful
trees, save when they have to be removed for
the purposes of profitable cultivation of the
soil, be protected rather than destroyed, and let
our young men plant young trees. They will
benefit their children if not themselves, and
serve rs very expressive mementos of their use
fulness The snow, natures over-coat for the
soil, is drifted in the absence of shelter from
the high winds, and in many instances, in the
absence of trees our crops are laid bare to the
biting blasts of winter. ''-2 r'f'

A New SOUTHERN PRoDUcr.-There is a
plant growing very abundantly in our pin,ey
woods and in the pine forests throughout the
South, known as the "Deer Tongue" 1t pre-
sents a buch or tuft of light green, tongue
shaped leaves, springing Immediately from the
ground, the leaves measuring from six to eight
inches in length, and about one inch in breadth.
From the centre of this bunch of leaves starts
up, as the season advances, straight stalk,
rising to the height of from two to three feet,
and terminating in collection of bright pur-
when bruised, having strong vanilla odor.
"This little plant-a growth peculiar to the
lower States-is now" says the Mobile Reg'ster,
ATTRACTING no little attention as an article for
seeming tobacco and wrappers for fine cigars.
Even at this time it is commanding high
price in the market, and IS it becomes better
known, the demand for it will, doubtless, be
greater. We are confident that the day is not
far distant when it will figure as one of our
most important products, and since it is eli
matically secured to the South, and can he
grown to perfection upon our poorest pine
lands, the freak of good fortune which brought
it into notice is likely to prove good freak TO
u.s."
Here is an opportunity now for some of our
enterprising young men to inaugurate new
business s.-Sauanndh Ne,0s.

CorToN Is K1NG.-The old monarch again
mounts his throne, and waves his snow white
banner of peace over his unruly and disobedi-
ent subjects in all the financial centres of this
country. Only week ago and the air was
thick and heavy with disaster. Impending
ruin hung omniously over the commercial pros
poets of this metropolis. Merchants were
alarmed and certain firms fell under the pres
sure. But see the change which the old king
has wrought. He began to show his feecy
locks loci and ship his snowy bales across tire
broad waters and lol gold tumbles, exchange
is lower and weak, money is easy, the banks
have largely increased their reserves, stocks
have risen, the dry goods trade has become
quite active, and a feeling of confidence per-
yades the whole business community. Some
say that it was Secretary Boutwell, who did it
We say that it was old King Cotton, and te
the grand old monarch whose throne will ou,
last the living empires of lesser rulers, we dof
our plumes and bend our knees. Long may
he wave.-N Y South.

GOOD Apv1cE.-An English journal i'm.
presses on the mind of all sportsmen, old and
young, the necessity of caution in the. use OF
fire arms. Every year witnesses some dreadful
accidcnts-many fatal, Others attended with
loss of eyesight or limb. A large portion OF
these might be avertcd with tolerable care.
The following golden rules are suggested,
1. Never load or leave loaded gun in the
house.
2. Never carry gun in position that if it
went off accidently it would injure any one.
8. Never carry gun cooked when scramb-
ling through hedge or leaping ditch.
4. Never leave gun loosely against tree
or wall, as if it falls, or is suddenly moved
away, it is liable to go off. ai ..mo-t .lsa
5. Never in sport point toward another q
loaded or an unloaded piece of fire arms,
By strictly adhering the above rules many
serious accidents would be'avoided. '

The Sabbath Day.

The Sabbath day is ours; it cannot be sold
it cannot be alienated. 1t is ours to cool th'
ardor of pursuit, and save the runner tor
longer and more successful race. The bes
machinery, by continued motion, runs up tt
ftetting speed, and the solid iron of wheels
by continual running, changes its chrystalllnt
structure. The little atoms refuse to hold theil
position, and the iron eventually becomes brit
tle.and weak without time and rest to;resume
their order. 1t is no less true that the best
business mind in, the world will break withotll
its, periodical rest. But rest TO the mind i
counter-action. The very best recreation oil
recuperation for the mind is not. luxurious re-
pose, but change of activity from one subject
to another; and by a change of subjects, the
mind recreates and recovers tone.
7 1t is ours to give fresh tone to the corporeal
frame. Our faithfalservant, who never refuses
to move at our bidding, must have some rest
Tired of hearing tired of seeing, tired of tug.
ging at the worlds business, it, too, seeks the
cool shade, the quiet retirement of the Sabbath
day.
1t is ours to recover moral tone, virtue, hon
or, goodness. God claims our thoughts on
Sabbath. These elevate, dignity, ennoble
These put man upon his proprieties, his decen'
cies he stands erect, clothed with self-espect
He communes' with the pure, the honest, the
lovely, the thing of good report on the Sab
bath, and resolves to be better man.
1t is ours to worship God. And who could
be without sanctuary for himself, his family,
his neighbors3 90
1t is great mistake to suppose that the
Sabbath can be proftably or properly spent in
dressing, or eating, or reclining, or riding, OF
hilarity, or sleep. A man is stealing from
himself when he gives the Sabbath to these
1t is humiliating that we must, of necessity,
spend one-half of our mortal existence in
state of inglorious sleep, and one-fonrth of it
in eating-a luxury which the brutes partici-
pate in common with ourselves. Sleep on Sab
bath is giving to inglorious torpidity our best
hours our noblest thoughts Aman can better
lose two hours on Saturday than one on Sun
day. Don't read romance on Sabbath 1t is
turning out good company and admitting re.
tailers of wit, fancy and scenic entertainment
tits going to the opera on Sunday.
Don't read secular journals on the Sabbath.
1t is to crowd the mind with the business Of
the week, and to jostte the decent and delicate
virtues aside with the grosser cares of political
strife and ambition. Don't ride on the cars on
Sabbath without an imperative necessity. II
is to employ many operatives in your service
on the day consecrated to morality and reli-
gion. 1t is to reverse the wheels of day rum
ming its rounds for your good. Don't take
pleasure ride on Sabbath. Conscience, if it is
alive within you, will extract all that is worth
in your enjoyment. If your conscience is
sound asleep, you will be like BALKAN, who
could not see what his ass saw-an angel with
drawn sword before him.

HoN. ROBERT ROOSEVELT ON FISH CUL-
TURE-It is refreshing to hear, now and then,
in our legislative halls, sensible practical
speech, free from the cant of party prejudice.
Such one we have recently read on fish cul-
ture, delivered in the House Of Representatives
by the Hon. Robert Roosevelt, which is of far
more value to the nation than ninety-nine-
hundredths of the long-winded partisan ha-
rangues delivered in that body. MIR. RS ad-
dress concludes thus:
"The importance of this matter can hardly
be overestimated. We raise animals for mans
use, cross their breeds, study their food, and
try and adapt their surroundings to the great
est development. We cultivate plants and veg
etables, and strive to obtain new species and
improved varieties. We import cattle from
Europe, horses from Africa, sheep from Spain,
wheat from Egypt, sorghum from Asia. Our
daily struggle is to make the most of whatever
can be turned to the support of the human
race, except one great class which has always
contributed, and unless exterminated, always
will contribute largely to that end. Who
would have thought twenty years ago that
despised love-apple could ever be converted in
to useful tomato7 And in earlier days, who
would have expected the change from the poi
sonous wild potato into the succtlent root
which now supports a nation, and adds to the
comfort of every human being?
"What was done with the common tomatoes,
potatoes, onions, and hundreds of other vege-
table productions, which, as wild were worth.
less, may in higher degree be carried into
effect with fish, Wild rice scarcely produces
enough seed to continue the supply; but pro-
tected, developed, encouraged, it feeds tenth
part of the world. Fish neglected, destroyed
poached and wasted, can soon be annihilated
Their reproductive power can only maintain @
certain equilibrium incline that toward de.
struction and the entire class will disappear
Treat them like wild animals and they will in
evitably be exterminated domesticate them, a:
it were, encourage their growth by putting
them under healthful influences, protect them
from unreasonable disturbance, let them breed
in peace, guard the young from injury, assis
them by artificial aid, select the best varieties
ment the supply as greatly as we do with eithe
land animals or vegetables.

DON'T WASTE SoAP-sUDs.-It is we'll to
have grape-yines planted so that the waste
Iiouids from the wash-house can be used to
fertilize them. If there is any food the vine
especially @ loves, it is the soaPy liquids which
drenched every week with these liquids will
flourish astonishingly, and extend themselves
so as to cover large buildings, every branch
bearing fruit. A distinguished Ohio horticul-
turist says that his family of ten persons eat a
ton of grapes, fresh and canned, during the
year; and he thinks that not only does it pay
in the matter of health, but also in the saving
of grocers' bills through the diminished desire
for pastries and other rich food.

SINGULAR TRIAL FOR MURDER.-There is
a charge of murder pending in the London
courts against man for permitting himself to
be shot, The circumstances of the case are
extraordinary in all respects. Two young Ger
man gentlemen, of respectable family, visited
London, and in four days managed to spend
the sum of $4,000 in the pursuit of pleasure.
At the end of that time, having exhausted
their money, they came to the conclusion that
there was nothing left to them worth living for,
and agreed to die together. A few lines OF
farewell were written to some young girls who
had assisted them in their revelries, after
which they locked their door and stripped
themselves for death. One of the young men,
named Paul May, stood up, and the other shot
him through the breast. As May fell to the
floor, his companion finished his work by
shooting himself through the heart 1t SO hap
pened that May was not mortally wounded, but
is in fair way of recovery, and when he IS
convalescent he is to be taken, before the au-
thorities to stand his trial for wilfully murder
ing the companion who. shot him, in accord
ance with the verdict rendered by the coroner's
Jury which investigated his case, as in England,
where two persons mutually agree to commit
suicide, and only one dies, the survivor is
held guilty of the murder of the one who died
Some of-she greatest English judges have ruled
that such is the law. The last trial of this
kind occurred in 1858, when Benjamin Allison
was indicted for the wHlful murder of Emma
Cripps, woman with whom he had been liv-
ing. The two had agreed to commit suicide
together, and drank three parts of cup OF
laudanum each. The large quantity produced
vomiting in the man, and he survived. These
facts were proven on the trial, and the man
was convicted of numbering the woman and
sentenced to death.
