4 RhinOcerOs Caught.

Speaking of the manner in which the
escaped rhinocerOs of O'Breiu's me-
nagerie was Gagged at Ithaca, N. Y, the
Democrat says: "A cable chain was
attached to each of his legs, and one
around his neck, and these were coupled
to locomotives on each of our railways.
The engines were then started. Pulling
in five different directions, his behe
mothship had nothing left to fight with
but bis tail, and that was dashed to a
church spire by a wire rope. Being
rendered harmless by the guys, a new
wagon was built around him, and thus
he was secured"

San Printing on Fruit.

Boys and girls, if you wish to aston
ish any members of the family, or any
coming guests, by some day allowing
them to discover their initials neatly
printed on pear, peach or apple, as it
hangs on It's branch, this is the way to
carry ont your plan: Just before the
fruit ripens, cut the desired letters
from a sheet of thin tough paper; then
paste them on the side of the fruit most
exposed to the sun; and when, in
course of time, you remove the paper
from the ripe surface, you will find the
letters distinctly marked upon it.

CHILDREN'S CORNER.
The Watcr-ISly,

BY MISS CELIA THAXTE3.
Up from the placid liver,
one Summer morning bright,
Came a merry boy to his mother
With a water-hly white.
Sweet as breath of heaven,
Winter than drifted snow,
The freshest, hottest flower
Among ali flowers that blow.
And on her breast she laid 1t,
Wondering. 1t was so lair.
Uprose the pure, rich perfume,
Like an embodied prayer.
The boy forgot the flower.
And later, from his play
Returning, warm aud rosy,
Called his mother, loud and CAV.
And when she answered softly,
And her quiet work forsook,
He paused, and gaZed upon her
With an unaccustomed look.
And over the delicate lily
He bowed his lovely head;
Then lifted his face and kissed her
With lips like Strawberries red
And sand, with his young face shining
AS clear as the morning star,
Sweet Is the lily, mother,
But your hiss Is sweeter, far -
our Young Folks.

He had rails on his farm that had been

believed that good sound rails wouid

Mr.. Werter agreed with Mr.. Savles
that raul fence was much the cheapest
fence; also that posts should be sea
soned where post and board fence is

sawed, and if the tree is sound the
butt cut " was better than nearer the
top of the tree. In answer to a cues
ton, Mr.. Werter said that oak rails
would last better than ash near the
ground, but that above he had no
choice.
Mr.. Calvin said he thought the soil
IN which posts were set had almost
nothing to do with their rotting; had
found them to last longer on low
ground; agreed with the others that
rail fence Is the cheapest fence, even at
a cost OF rails as given by Mr.. Sayles,
$50 per thousand.
Mr.. Jones agreed that the soil had
much to do with the durability of fence
posts. He set white cedar posts in
quicksand; they rotted in six years.
Mr.. lsham knew of two oak posts
taken from the same tree, and set four
teen years ago. One was taken from

down, and had rotted off two years ago.
The other was taken higher up, and set
as it stoodin the tree, and Is sound and

Mr.. Jones said he would set the top
of the post down; that it was all fool
ishness to build lenses with sawed
posts. Thought a small post better
than large one. He also agreed that
Il rail fence was the cheapest farm
f6uce.
The club finally came to the decision
that good worm rail fence is the
cheapest and best farmer can build.

MEDICAL MANIACs.-There are num-
bers Of medical men so welded to the
old formulas, that all changes seem to
them like innovations. These medical
maniacs are, fortunately, incapable OF
much mischief IN this practical age.
While the VINEGAR BITTERs are curing
Indigestion, Nervous Debility, Consti
patton, and countless other diseases
that defy the remedies of the pharma-
copHIa, it is impossible to thrust down
the threats OF intelligent invalids che
roic" doses of mineral poison, or to
persuade them to take adulterated alcO-
hol, impregnated with cheap astrip-

guiitless of the curse of distilled or
fermented liquor, is actually accom-
pllshing what the mineral aud alcohol

no wonder that this medicine has taken

MICA MINING IN WESTERN NORTH CARO-
LIMA

Within G days journey of Knoxville,
the most extensive and the most successful
mica mining establishment in the United
States, and we suppose in the world, is be
ing operated. The mines are situated in
Mitchell county, North Carolina, near Ba-
kersville, and thirty-five miles southeast
of johnson City, on the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railroad. The mines
are owed principally by John Heap and
f. b. Glapp, both formerly of this city.
Two more wholesouled, energetic, man
ly men are seldom met with. A mine Is
successfully worked liz the same locality by
Mr.. j. X. Irby.
Mica was discovered there great many
years ago, out has not been considered
profitable until recently. These same
mines were worked by Hon. T. L. Cling
man before the war, in search of silver,
but the mica was cast aside as valueless.
The sharp eyes of Nessrs, Heap & ClaRp,
however, saw in ut means of growing
rich and were not slow to seize the oppor-
tunity. They commenced operations in
july, 1860, great many predicting that it
was q hazardous experiment. They ROW
employ about one hundred hands, pay out
in their immediate neighbOrhood $4,000,
and ship 100000 pounds of mica per annum.
They find a market for it in New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, Canada, etc. They
ship exclusively to manufacturers and
upon orders, finding a ready and paying
market at all times. At first they cut the
mica into square pieces and shipped it in
thai way, but now they take it to their
shop at Bakersville, where it it is split in
to the desired thickness and cut into pat
terms as ordered. l is used almost eXclu-
sively for heatin g-stoves, although it is we'll
adapted to numerous other purposes.
Previous to the time these gentlemen
embarked in mining here, labor in this 10
cality was worth next to nothing. There
was nothing much to labor for. Now
Bakersville is one of the liveliest and
thriftiest towns to be found anywhere. 1t is
new, and well and tastefully built. y few
years ago it was an insignificant place, bCt
now there are five stores, two hotels, two
or three blacksmith shops, good churhes
and schools, and resident population q?
three hundred. To this point the miners
supplies are shipped. Within the past
year, AIessrs, Heap q Clapp have shipped
$50 bbls. of powder, used for balasting pur-
poses. They use about 1000 lbs of En-
glish steel per month, and 900 lbs of
candles, besides bacon, flour, corn oats
hay, &c.
Their business.is not prosecuted without
danger to life and limb. Only short
time ago two men were blown up by a
premature explosion in the minds, one of
whom had his skull fractured his leg
broken, besides sustaining serious bruises.
The other escaped with the bruises alone.
Such occurrences have not been unfre-
queTt.
We rejoice at the success of this entet-
prise. We congratulate our friends upon
their good fortune, and we are sure it could
not have fallen upon worther subjects.

ABOUT AFFAIRS IN KENTUCKY.


Kentucky presents a picture well worthy
Of the attention of every man and woman
in the land. 1t is one of the few States of
the { nion which have been controlled by
the Democratic party without interruption
since the war. Whatever there is to boast
of in the progress ofsociety in that State
during the past seven or eight years. to
that party belongs the credit. If the State
has increased in wealth, in learning, in
virtue, the Democrats are entitled to the
full credit for such advance. If its rail-
roads have extended their lines: if its fer
tile fields have increased their productions ::
If manufactures have sprung up within its
borders; if school houses and churches
have multiplied, and if the people are bless
ed with universal peace and prosperity,
then it IS an achievement for which Ken
lucky Democrats deserve all the credit
But how is this? A late number of the
Courier-JOurnaL, the 4blest Democratic
paper in all the South, speaking of the
condition of affairs in the counties of Ow-
en-, Henry and Franklin, says:
Our correspondent, detailed to investi-
gate tue kukluX outrages i'm Henry, Owen
and Franklin counties, presents this morn
ing an additional list of the crimes com
mltted by these wretches, which have gone
unavenged before the law. He has ex-
pressed his belief, which is doubtless cor
rect, that he has furnished not more than
half the measure of these outrages during
Inree years years past. 1t is a terrible stO-
ry, but 1t is imperative that it now be told
that the long-delayed remedy may be APP
pied Immediately and effectively. These
three counties have been deserted by many
OF thelr best citizens, driven away under
lhe reign of terror established by a paltry
Dand OF thieves and cut-throats Nor Is
TINS all. Not only Owen, Henry and
Franklin counties have suffered bv the
work OF these wretches, but the entire
stare has been brought into disreDute by
their bloody deeds. Immigration has been
denectedt our fields gounlilled, lands have
Deeh deprecated in value, and the State
mas suffered in all its most material infer
esls by the work of a few score of despera-
uOes. Nor Will she ever recover until IL is
hrlhe patent 10 the world that they have
been utterly subdued, uni. life and prom
erty Is proved To be as safe in Kentucky as
ia new York, In Ohio in Illinois, In even
the hewly-settled States OF the West. IL
Is evident that we cannot now proclaim
TINS 70 the vast bodies OF hard working
lnnm igrants who come tO our shores. and
OF whom Kentucky has hardly the show
OF representation.
Ihese three counties are not located
among the rural mountain regions. They
are right under the shadow Of the capitol

SOLDIERS HEADsTONEs.

We have seen private dispatches from
persons in Washington to the effect that
the bids for headstones for soldiers graves
in our National cemeteries were opened on
the 9Th inst, and that the Knoxville bid
ders were the lowest offered. Their bids
were omesiXty-one thousand dollars lower
than the next lower bidders, which were
from Vermont. The total number of stones
to be erected is over two hundred thou
sand. The contract is, therefore, one of
vast proportions and of immense import
ance to East Tennessee. There is no
doubt that East Tennessee marble is equal
to any the Quarter Master General could
adopt, though we understand powerful
effort is being made by disappointed
bidders to have Il thrown out on
account of its color not coming
with the technical rules published. We
hope such objections, will not be consid-
cred, as there can not possibly be any OBJ
lection to the East Tennessee marble as to
its durability, and sui ability to the use
proposed. II, in addition to being harder
and more appropriate, it is also cheaper
