UNATTENDED LADIES.
THE VALUE OF MALE ESCORT ABROAD.

Ladies who have an idea that they can safely
travel around the world without male escort
are advised to read this, from PARIS CORES
pondence of the Baltimore american:
American ladies visiting Paris are apt to be
much annoyed until they learn the etiquette Of
the streets They are liable to compromise
themselves if they appear alone on the thor
Oughfares without the observance of certain
rules which time has rendered ixed and i'm
mutable. In the first place, respectable
young lady in Paris never appears on the
streets in anything but black dress, unless
with male escort or an aged duenna. If in
white or light dress, her character is liable
to be mistaken. especially if she be young or
interesting. Then if she is without an escort.
she must to maintain her character, push
straight forward, without looking to the right
or to the left If she should stop to look at
the fine displays in the store windows, for
which Paris is so famous, she must not be sur
prised if some of the young men who lounge
around the cafes walk up to her, nudge her
elbow and enter into conversation. 1t is the
practice of the den-monde to thus stop when
a gentleman is approaching whose attention
they desire to attract, and the masculines Of
loose morals choose to regard any one who may
stop to look at the gorgeous array of diamonds
in window as having invited their attention.
So also in riding A lady seated alone in a
carriage, either on the street or in the Bois do
Boulogne. is regarded as reserving the seat be-
side her for any chance gentleman whom she
may attract. Thus ladies who have not male
escorts either take their servants with them
when they ride, or borrow a neighbor's child,
| if they have none of their own. To ride alone
would be to invite insult or offensive attention.
The same is the rule in London and almost
throughout Europe. The fact is the more re-
spectacle classes seldom walk on the street.
In London you never see what we would call
at home well dressed lady. Those who seem,
and undoubtedly are, reputable, are arrayed
in plain suits of black, evidently intending and
desiring to shun rather than court observation.
A finely dressed female in London is invariably
regarded as woman of loose character if she
has no escort with her, and even thea she
must carry very demure face, and her escort
must not put on any foppish airs if he does not
desire to compromise the character of his CON-
panion. But black dress and fast walk, as
| if in a great hurry. is the only thing that will
insure for lady alone in the street entire free
dom from improper attentions or insult The
only finely dressed females on the street any,
where in Europe are those of bad character.

MAKE YOUR OWN mANUREs.

DR.. Noelcker, chemist to the Royal Ag.
Ticultural Society of England, says that
artificial manures can be made by farmers
more cheaply than to buy any patent arti-
Gle. By purchasing the sever al ingredients
nom first hands, the farmer saves the ma
nipulator's profits, (often large and knows
all the materials used before their combina-
ton. When a Spectator does this pur-
chasing and combining for him, the tempt
alton to use some Ingredients of little cost
and small value, 10 the injury of the fertil
izer, is too great for common honesty to
stand. Hence large fortunes have been sud
denly made in this artificial guano trade.
1t Is like counterfeiting gold and silver
coin with iinpunity. The agricultural press
and chemists have warned farmers time and
again Of the frauds practiced at their ex-
pense; still there seems to be two new dupes
for every old one bitten, aud Withdrawn
from the market. Every year increases the
number and sharpness Of shsrpers. Some
farmers in this country are taken in by tree
peddlers, and others by worthless patent
coutrivance or machine. Agriculture being
in transition state, farmers should read
weekly papers devoted wholly or partly to
their interests as a speciality, To be at all
times fully posted. knowledge is at once
tbs cheapest ana best power one can have
IN any farm.

THE KU-KLUX.

Alexander III. stephens Appeal to
the President.
LIBERTY HALL, CRAwFoRDsvILLR, GA,
August 9, 1872.
To His Excellency, L. S. Grant, President OF the
United States, Washington, D. g.;
My DEAR SIR-Of my own accord /
make an appeal TO your Excellency for
clemency and mercy in behalf OF all those
prisoners now suffering In penitentiaries
under sentence of courts in several States
of the Union for viola ton of the act of
Congress known as the Ku Klux act,
or for violation of the enforcement acts of
Congress, under, prosecutions founded
upon the last named act. Not& single one
Of these parties is known to me, nor am
acquainted il the slightest degree with the
nature or character of the charges brought
against them, nor with the facts upon
which the conviction of single one Of
them was founded. Ny appeal is simply
for clemency aud mercy. 1t is founded
upon these considerations:
First-My impression from what have
seen in the newspapers is that all these con-
victions rest upon prosecutions for offences
committed before the passage Of the ku-
Klux act. 1t is, believe, well known tina
was utterly opposed to all those combina-
tons known as the Ku-Klux organizations.
have all my life been for law and order.
Without, therefore, saying anything ABOUT
outrages Of this sort, either in extenua-
ton or condemnation, before the passage Of
the act Of 1871 for their suppression by the
Federal authorities, l repeat that my i'm
preston is that no one in whose behalf
make this application committed an ofiense
for which he is now suffering after the pas-
sage Of this act. This view of the case, 1t
seems to me, should have weight with your
Excellency. ..
Second-The great purpose OF the Gov
eminent, it seems to me, has been accom-
plished. / believe that no one now has
any serious apprehensions of any further
disturbances Of this sort. Indeed, as l said
before, none, as l believe, have occurred
since the passage of the act for their sup
preston by Federal authority.
Third-Whsn the object of punishment
upon the individual and upon society is &C
complished lenity should be the rule with
with all governments.
4. Many Of these parties, l underst and,
are infirm, few Of them old, several OF
than have families dependent upon them,
all of them have suffered severely. For
these reasons l ask you, by the authority
vested in You, to grant them, one and all, q
general pardon. will present Eyou with
no view founded upon the constitutionality
of the act under which they are suffering,
or even of Its doubtful constitutiOnality,
but appeal to you to do, as Mr.. Jefferson
did with those who were imprisoned under
the alien act of 1875, give them q release
under the pardoning power wisely lodged
In such cases in the hands of the Execu-
tive.
IT. my dear sir, the petition can not be
granted, trust it will not be deemed OBJ
trusiYe. Let it be attributed solely to my
deep sympathy for all who are in prison.
This appeal shall put in the hands Of
others, who, l hope, may, after giving ii
their endorsement, forward it to you. Most
respectfully,
ALEXANDER II. STEPHENS.

DAIRY HusRANDRY.

Tie mountain districts Of this State are
generally better than those Of Scotland for
grazing and dairy purposes. We may there
fore see by what has been done in the land
o cakes what is likely TO take place in our
own commonwealth. Six counties in Scot
land make $4,000 tons of cheese a year,
worth about five million dollars. Cheese is
made from Ayrshire cows some 100 days in
a year, and butter the rest of the lime the
COWS are giving milk. The business is
profitable, and extending on the American
factory system. This system will soon be
in full operation in East Ten
nessee, where the climate and
cold spring water favor dairying.
Good cheese sells higher in Southern cities
than in London and Liverpool, and every
acre Of fair grazing land will sooa be want
ed for dairy huspandry, wool growing and
stock raising purposes. Those that start
first viii doubtless obtain the best prices for
their goods. Tennesseeans should not " ait
for Northeners to come and take their lands
at low figure, SOW grass seed and remove
out OF their hands much of the wealth and
honors of the State. Now is the tins to
move in the production Of fine dairy stock.
II is sure TO be wanted az paying prices.

The killing of Infants by Cats.
To the Editor of the Tribune:
SIR: In the Tribune of the 18th inst, I'M
der the heading Telegraph Notes." find
the following, without word of quali1ca-
ton:
"a three months old child of Mr.. Her.
rick, of Portland, Maine, lost its life this
morning by a cat sucking its breath while
sleeping"
As many persons are apt to accept stale
ments of fact which they find in your
paper, it is perhaps worth While to point
out the extreme improbability of che above.
do not doubt the death of the child, or
that the animal was present at the
time; but that a cat sucked its breath"
or would or could do so, must be re-
garded as a piece Of gross supersti-
tious ignorance; as such it is hurtful
and ought not to pass unchal-
lenged. Death is a serious matter
and therefore this subject must be treated
seriously; otherwise it were easy to ridicule
the assumption made, which do not now
meet with for the first time. Let me say,
then, that q cat could have no possible mo-
tive for sucking a child'S breath, even If it
were possible TO do so. The breath of any
animal, after it has O..ce entered the lungs,
is disagreeable and poisonous, and we know
ofno creature with a liking for such air. Are
we to suppose that the cat applied its lips
closely to those of the child, and exhausted
the lungs of the latter by filing its Owl? If
so, what next? The cat must breathe or die.
If it breathes, the child will breathe also and
live. But it may be said that the cat places
its mouth in such proximity to that of the
child as to intercept the pure air, and so
"suck" in that which the child required.
This would involve the death OF the cat
first, for it is the smaller animal; and the
child's mouth must be also in the proper
position TO Intercept the pure air required
by the cat. That the latter, either from
malignity or affection, would voluntarily
suffer semi-suffocatiOn for moment is OF
coarse absurd. In fact, the statement is alb
surd altogether, and it would require the
clearest circumstantial description of the
way in which the act was performed, and
that by 8 DISTINGUISHED observer, to entitle
the assertion even TO the consideration here
given. The true explanation Of such cases
is doubtless very simple. The cat lay upon
the cbild's mouth, and so smothered it, or
upon its stomach and chest, and by Its weight
tired the respiratory muscles 50 that they
gradually ceased to act, and the poor little
infant to breathe. Let me say, in conclu-
sion, that such accidents are frequently ia
cilitated by the senseless way in which
mothers and nurses place their children,
deeply imbedded in soft clothes and pillows,
depriving them, by so doing of full sup
ply OF the fresh pure air, which is their
very life.

STATE DEBTS.

The Raleigh Sentinel of Sept, a contains
an address to the people of North Carolina
from an Agricultural and Industrial Con-
ventiou, from which the following is copied:
Our public debt must be disposed of in
some way. This debt (so-called) amounts
TO S37,000,000, and is daily increasing by
accruing interest, and operated as q sub
stantial mortgage for its redemption upon
all the property Of the people, which as
sessed for taxation, amounts to nesrly
S1I0 100000. That is to say the real and
personal property Of the State is only about
three times greater than the debt for which
il is bound,
Few questions are likely TO give more
trouble in the future than oppressive State
debts growing out of the abuse of legislative
power. Credit ofVen does more harm than
good to all parties, and interest, for money
obtained by fraud does not wear Well.

Thou bravest, uuest, best Of men; -
For have marked thy strong career,
AS traced by thy own sturdy pen. s
Eve seen thy struggles with the foes
That dared thee to the desperate fight,
And loved to watch thy goodly blows
Dealt for the cause thou deem'st right.
ThOu'st dared to stand against the wrong
When many faltered by thy side;
In thy own strength hast dared be strong,
Nor on anotheT's arm relied.
Thy own bold thoughts thou'st dared to think.
Thy own great purposes avowed;
And none have ever seen thee shrink
From the fierce surges cfthe crowd.
Thou all unaided and alone
Did'st take thy way in life's Young years
With no kind hand clasped in thy own,
No gentle voice to so0the thy tears.
But thy high heart no power could tame,
And thou hast never ceased to feel
Within thy veins sacred flame
That turned thy iron nerves to steel
know that thou art not exempt
From all the weaknesses Of earth,
For passions come to rouse and tempt
The truest souls Of mortal birth.
But thou hast well fulfilled thy trust
In spite of love, and hope, and fear,
And cen the tempests, thundergust
But clears thy spirits atmosphere.
Thou still art in thy manhood's prime,
Still foremost mid thy fellow-men,
Though in each year of AL thy time
Thou hast compressed three score and ten.
oh, may each blessed sympathy,
Breathed on thee with a tear and sigh,
A sweet flower in thy pathway be-
A bright star in thy clear blue sky.

A PRTRiFIED BABY,

A petrifled baby has been exhumed from
a Chicago cemetery. The Times report
says: "All save the mother Of the little in
fant stood mutely looking upon it, but she
became nearly frantic with excitement
from the FIRST moment that the body was
exposed to view. She had endeavored to
take it from the coffin, crying bitterly, and
wildly insisting upon taking it with her to
her home. Her husband held her back and
would not allow her to remove 1t. The
mother seemed nearly distracted with grief
at the thought OF its being rendered. II
looked so natural and beautiful, so like the
baby that she had placed in the grave ten
years ago, that it brought up all her sorrow
afresh, as if she was but now laying the
loved darling in the earth. The body was
removed with others which the family
had come TO exhume, to Graceland and
reburied. The family are Swedes, and, il
was learned, reside short distance out of
the city. The child so remarkably pre-
served had been buried for more than ten
wears"

FARM AND GARDEN.


FALL TREATMENT OF GARDENS.
How many allow weeds to go to seed in
the fall, aud scatter themfsr and wide, sp-
parently for the sake of having work in
abundance next spring to harvest and re-
move this extra crop? In this way one
garden weed in the fall Is good for thou
sand next year. The old maxim that ga
stitch In time saves nine" is a feeble Illus
trstion Of horticultural folly. Weeds with
ripe seeds should be burnt. If seeds are
not formed, rot the weeds for manure, and
plow the ground for early planting in the
spring. Cabbage and turnips will grow
more or less in cur mild winters. Gardens
need attention every month in the year.
