Where Woman Fails.

Somebody has discovered where
woman fails. Says a scribbler: Did
you eve see a woman throw q stone
at a henY 1t is one OF the most ludi-
crous scenes OF everyday life. We
recently observed the progress
indeed, we paid more attention than
the hen did, for she did not mind il
at all, and laid an egg the next day
as if nothing had happened. In fact,
that hen will now know for the first
time that she served in the capacity
of a target. The predatory fowl
bad invaded the precincts of the
flower bed and was industriously
pecking and scratching for the nutri.
Gus seed or the early worm, bIissiully
unconscious Of impending danger.
The lady now appears upon the
scene with u broom, This she drop,
and picks up a rocky fragment OF
the Sllurian age, and then makes
her first mistake-they all do it--of
Selling the ~projectile with the wrong
hand. Then with malice afore.
thought, she makes the further
blunder of swinging hcrarms perpcn-
dicularly instead of horizontally
thercupon the stone flies into the air,
describing an irregular elliptical
curve, and strikes tho earth as far
from the hen as the thrower stood
at the time, in a course due west
of the same, the hen then bearing
by the compass NNE. by half 4.
At the second attempt the stone mar
rowly missed the head OF the throw
er herself, who, seeing that any fur
ther attempt at the kind would be
suicidal, does what she might have
done first, starts after the hen with
an old familiar weapon. The moral
of which is; Stick to the broom
stick .

Sunday School Celebration.

The Memphis appeal has the fol.
lowing announcement of the time OF
the annual Sunday school celebra-
ton in that city, and we would most
earnestly urge all the superintend-
ants Of Sunday schools to prepare
for this occasion, and carry their
schools to Memphis and participate
in the grand celebration Of the city.
We all remember the pleasure Of the
trip of the schools from this point
and Batesville last year, and how
much happiness was added to the
lives of the little members of the
holy school OF G,d, and how they
long talked Of their participation in
the celebration. These reunions have
a lasting impression upon the minds
of children and produce: much good
in ENGRAVING upon their memories
such associations.
Those good people Of the Sunday
School Union, in Memphis, are de-
terminei that the great work in
which they are engaged shall have
its effect upon the world, and not be
a mere bit Of dilletanteisn. The
Sunday school will become a visible,
bold, public, blessed institution,
spreading its benign influence abroad
by the constagion Of example. One
great agency In this is the annual
combined celebration in public, when
the children OF the Sunday schools
shall have a holiday, and the sinfu!
stree q Of Memphis shall resound
with holy hymns and songs Of praise
to the Almighty. f. . The prcpar,
atoms this year were commenced
earlier than last, and a greater nuns
ber 81 people have notified their in
teution VI participating. Already

The particular day Of memorial
has not yct been, in al localities Of
the South, Gxod upon, when
in common nation could
bow down in prayer at the same
hour, from the Potomaes shore 10

In Virginia the 10th OF May Is OBJ
served as memorial day, giving to
this day preference on account OF it
being the anniversary of the death
OF Gen. "Stonewall" jackson.
In other States different daysh have
been observed.
W. have no choice rs to the time
of this annual memorial day, but we

the memory of ctr soldiery dead is
recrcant to the ltlicst impulses that

OF our gotherers from the

their fallen sons, and each year bear
testimony Of that great love.

Asn elias, ovr cotton planters
svinse les Judgment than aay leo
pie On The iaee Of tie earth. They
sifaia every nerve 10 make ail tho
cotton they possibly can make, and
Then. shen by their osn deliberate
etiafis they have gluiiod the mar
keis, and VI necessity cheapencd the
article, they complain and grumble
beeause they DO not receive more
money for their crops. They devote
a. little land aud time To- the pro.
duction Of coru, wheat, etc, aa they
can. aud then complain became they
have TO pay the North ard West
such prices for their articles. They
suiier manure, to 20 10 waste in
their own baruyards and about their
gin houses, and let their lands wear
out, because they are not able to buy
foreign fertilizers. They scratch the
surface of thirty acres to the depth
OF one and a hall inches, to every
mule they work, and call this "cul.
tivation."
Why they thus act Is one Of tho
hidden mysteries to US. 1t Is not
on account Of ignorance, for our far
mers are an intelligent people and
yet It is not for want Of experience,
for they have been trying tho ex-
pertinent with the same results all
their lives.
We do hope-sincerely hope-
that our farmers will profit by past
lessons, and will pay more attention
TO the improvement OF their lands,
and devote moro time to the culture
Of corn, wheat, potatoes, clover aud
the grasses. Cotton is good enough
in its place, and must always be the
chict crop for market, with us. But
it does seem TO us that wisdom and
expe. fence should teach us that we
should pay more attention to the
saving of manures, and to the proper
preparation and cultivation OF our
lands, and to TIP production of such
crops as are necessary for home con.
sumption, aud then devote the re-
malnder Of our energies to cotton.

A glance at it will give the

for this bill, Conservatives and Dem.

have required laborious study
to have devised so ingenious a vii

From the Cincinnati Enquirer'l
A MatchIess Match Case.

In the case OF the United States Us.
Henry Schweissinger, the District At
torney, acting upon the advice OF the
Collector, dismissed the prosecution.
This was an action under the revenue
law, brought by the direction of the
Collector last April to recover a penalty
of $500 OF the defendant !or selling
seventy.two boxes OF friction matches
without affixing stamp to each box,
denoting the tax thereon
The case having been set for trial and
the witnesses for the Government being
in attendance, preliminary consulta-
ton with them by the United States
District Attorney developed the follow
ing bliss'ul state of facts: 1t appears
that the de endant was a sausage
maker in the Rhine country, and under.
took to vary the monotony OF his legltl-
mate business by going into the manu-
fscture of matches on q email scale.
He emptied some sulphur into
his soup kettle, and, having heated
it, dipped some little square blocks
of wood into it, and having drawn a
csse-knife across the surface of the sui
blurred block, sent it away to be sold az
square matches. Some time after this
a brother Teuton came along with a
fine, lat dog, and the defendant took the
dog in excl snge for the entire stock OF
matches. Not being satisfied with his
lucifers, be came to the defendant and
demanded his dog. But, alas. poor
Tray had gone where all good doggles
90, and straightway the irate feuton
Complained to the collector, and suit
was brought as stated. The matches
on being produced would not light, so
the case Of the Government broke down
of it's own weight, havingbrought a suit
to recover $500 penalty Of poor Ger
man for selling two cents worth OF
kindling wood, without q stamp on IT,
contrary to the statues in such cases
made and provided, and against the
peace and dignity of the United States
of America. The general result may
be summed up as follows: The defend
ant lost his kindling; his customer, q
dog: the Government its $3StV; the
collector, his tail feathers. and the Dis
trict Attorney an opportunity to orate
upon the vindication Of the law.
