drank the beverage. Presently she asked
the roller of pills why he didn't give her

A TELLING HIT.-The recent death of
Mr.. John G. Tucker, says the Boston
journal" calls to mind d speech which
he made In the House Of Representatives
some years agO-a speech that was full
of tingling wit and delivered in The han
piest manner. General Banks had been
elected Governor by "a combination be-
tween the Free Sellers and the. Know
NOthings, and it was naturally supposed
that in his inaugural address there would
be. some reference to- the issues. of the
campaign. But the adroit Governor
omitted all mention Of the Anti-Slavery
question as well ,as OF tie Native AmeTif-
can policy. A mem arose and moved
to print 10, 900 copies0f the address. when
instantly Mr.. fuckers got the floor and
spoke as follows: r
u rise, Misther Speaker, to second the
motion of the honorable gintleman to
print tin thousand copies of His Excil-
lency's speech. You may wonder, Mis-
ther Speaker, why |, who am nayther n
paesonal nor pOleetical friend of His
Excillency, should do this. It is well
known that His Excillency has risen to
power by coalition between the Anti
Slavery and the Native American par
ties, or, as they are sometimes called,
Free SOilers and Know NOthings. And
this puts me in mind of little sthOFy.
There was a bishop in Dublin who
engaged panther to make a large pic
ture for the Cathaydral. The subject
chosen was the crossing of the Red Say
by the lsraelites. After shuteable time
the picture was complayted and hung in
the Cathaydral, covered with broad
and heavy curtain. A great crowd of
people assembled to see the picture un-
yeeled. The priests entered in process
sion, the organ sounded and the singers
sung. All faces were turned In anxious
expectation to the great tcurtain. When
| it was dhrawn aside nothing could be
seen but a vast expanse of wather-red-
dish green wather. The bishop in great
rage turned to the panther and said: L
thought l asked you to paint picture
OF the lsraelites crossing the Red Say?'
Ihrue for you, that's jistit,' said the
panther.
q" But where are the Israelites? p asked
the indignant bishop.
So They're gone Orer, said the epainther.
Well, but where are the pursuing
Egyptians r.
".They're gone Under,' said the pain
II "With similar disappointments the
frinds of His Excillency stand now. IF
they ask what has become of the nav
ger9 the answer is He's gone Oyer. Mis-
ther Spa-ker.' IF they ask, then. What
has become of the Know -Nothings?-
why they've gone tRder, Misther Spa
kerr"
The rOars of laughter from all sides of
the house made the rest of the speech
inaudible.

COTTON AND CORN.-Last year Mr..
Henry Kelly, now citizen of this place,
cultivated two acres of upland, with no
peculiar advantage as to location, ON his
farm in Henry county in corn, and gath
cred from the two acres one hundred
and fifty four bushels of corn, twenty
five hundred pounds of fodder and two
large wagon loads Of shucks. The pro-
duct of the two acres realized to Him,
in cash, 1895 46. The breaking up the
land Cn the spring. with a No. 3
Watt plOW and a Walpola subsoil at
tachment, which required two mules
and one hand to perform the plowing
and subsOiling at one operation. He
used one hundred pounds of guano and
fifty bushels of cotton seed per acre.
The cultivation of, the crop was done
exclusively with q sweep, and consisted
of three light plOWings. The same two
acres of land produced the year previous,
with two hundred pounds of guano and
the best Of cultivation, 1880 pounds of
seed cotton per acre, or one bale of
$50 pounds of lint-tWO bales weighing
900 pounds on the two acres. Allowing
sixteen cents per pound, which is a little
over the average price, the two acres
yielded in 1871, for the cotton, $154 !;
allowing six bushels of seed to 100
pounds of lint, We have fifty -four bush
els of seed at fifteen cents per bushel,
equals $8 10, added to the price of the
cotton, we have as the entire cash val
ne Of the two acres cultivated in cotton
$162 10. The corn was sold at 81 500
per bushel, 1850 pounds of fodder at
ST so per 100 pounds and $40 for two
loads of shucks. On recapitulation we
find two acres in corn yield. in

STRAY THOUGHTS of the
heart is the heart of religion.
He is rich who has God for his friend.
Be active in every good cause.
Words cannot heal the wounds that
words can make,
Let reason go before enterprise and
counsel before action.
A good word is an easy obligation,
but not to speak Ill requires only 81
lence, that costs nothing.
# man has any religion worth hav-
ing, he will do his duty and not ma g
any fuss about it. It is the empty ket-
tie that rattles.
Life, like war, is series of mistakes;
and he is the best Christian who wins
the most splendid victories by the re-
trieval of mistakes.
We are only competent to .aidge an
others conduct when we thoroughly
comprehend the motives that prompted
his actions.
A good opportunity never waits, If
you are not ready some one else will be.
TAxEs.-Now is the time to pay your
taxes and give in correct list of your
property for assessment. Some of our
tax payers are doing it with ven
geance. We were recently shown a
schedule filed up and sworn to by tax
payer, who owns four head of horses,
who only gives in two; another who
owns five, gives in only two another
who owns six, gives in only two. And
some others altogether fail to give in
anything, and leave the Board of AS
SCISSORS in the dark as to their real worth
And, still, some others who go to the
city and pay their State tax, but fail to
pay their parish tax, which makes the
burden of the tax fall on a few honest
and willing tax payers. There is GER
tainly great room for reform in this
matter, Let the Tax Collector and
honest tax payers make a note of this.
