ALFALFA HAY FOR HoGs.-It is a
strange sounding proposition to feed
hogs with hay, but we have experience
in this line, and however strange or
odd it may seem, it is, nothwithstand-
ing, fact that hogs will not only eat
alfalfa hay, but that they will do well
on it. We first discovered the fact by
throwing lot of alfalfa chaff, from
which the seed had been cleaned, over
to some hogs for a nest, when, to our
surprise, they devoured it with as much
greediness as they would so much oats
or barley. Our own experience and
observation since has proved to us that
good alfalfa hay, with plenty of water,
ggill keep hogs in good growing con-
dition all through the winter. They
may be foddered in the same way you
would fodder sheep or cattle, but if cut
up with cutting machine, and wet be-
fore feeding, they will eat 1t cleaner
and do better on it.-[Sacramento

The Indians were determined not to

"The pesky, deceitful critters won't

The chief then came up to us and
told Bill that one of the Indians-one
who had lost q brother in their attack
upon us-had challenged him to fight
with the knife.
"Where is he ?" asked the trapper.

REcONCILIAPIoE.-E reeoncilia-
ton is difficult with woman. She in
variably keeps certain reserves. When
she has once parted from you in spirit,
she will hardly return. Though she
seems to, she does not. She gives her
hand again-perhaps her lips; but the
heart is no longer in one, nor the soul
in the other. Kiss her you have once
rOundly quarreled with-if it be not a
mere lovers guarrel-and you will find
the statue under the crimson curve, the
chill of the marble through the bound
ing blood. A keen observer may deter
mine in society whether you have had
discord with a woman you meet. How
ever perfect the breeding, however
disciplined the manners, the past dis
cord leaves shadow that will not be
lifted. The old wound may be closed ;
it is not healed, nor can it be by the
highest skill in spiritual surgery. Ere
quently men like one another better af-
ter fighting; women never, be the foe
OF either sex. With these the bloom of
favor is taken off. not to be restored.
They feel, though they may not say or
even think it, that slight or injury ad-
mits of no atonement. Woman reads
the proverb: To err is feminine, to
forgive impossible.-[The Galaxy.

MEETING TUESDAY NIGHr.-Jn re-
Spouse to a request from leading ne
groes, Gen. \. W. Campbell adj
dressed about fifty or one hundred of
them at the court house on Thursday
night. The General told them plain
facts and truths, things they seldom
hear from those who are in the habit
OF addressing them. After the Gene
raj finished his speech, JoT dan Meri-
wcther, as spokesman for the negroes,
asked him several questions, all of
which We're promptly answered.
In the course of Jordan Mcriweih-
er's remarks he ridiculed the white
people of Trenton for calling on Jack
son for aid on Wednesday and thought
that the whites of Jackson did wrong
to respond to that call. He also sta
ted that the negroes held a meeting
at one o'clock Wednesday, III their
hall in South Jackson, and organized
for the purpose Of going to the aid of
the negroes in Gibson, had the whites
of Jackson gone to the assistance of
the white people. He said, eff you
white people had left that evening
we would have been along some time
during the night" His object seemed
to be to ridicule the whole affair.

That DEAD MAN.-On Tuesday a
startling report that a dead man was
lying in peach orchard near the city
was circulated. A solemn and awful
mystery hung about the matter, and
men talked about in bated breath and
with blanched cheeks. The report
reached the ear of the coroner-a tall
dignified and exceedingly solemn
gentleman-whO promptly summoned
a jury of inquest and repaired to the
spot. A weary march of a mile I'M
der swelteriDg sun, brought the sol
emn coroner ami his solemn jury to
the place. With a sOlemnity worthy
of the occasion, they gathered around
the dead man. The coroner had on
his funeral mask aud looked suf1i-
GENTLY solemn to have "set" OIL an
indefinite number of malicious, reck-
less, or surreptiously Illuminated hui
man bodies. Waving his inevitable
cain, the jury halted, while his honor
the coroner approached the body.
Through his specs. over his specs and
under his specs, he viewed the mani
mated form before him. With orator.
cal grace and force, he commented on
the size of the "buck," the exceed
ing naturalness of his position
upon the ground. and the certain
ty that his death must have been
instantaneous and without a strug-
gle. After learnedly explaining all
this - as only a solemn and expe-
rienced coroner can explain such
things - he requested the jury to
draw near the body. As they did so,
our dignified coroner with his stick,
punched the bOdy-when 10 man
of straw was revealed. \ variety of
expressions, too numerous to men
ton, worked their way through our
solemn corOner's facial organs. Then
with an exceedingly dignified haste,
he wheeled around and marched away
without a word to any one. But as he
solemnly marched along, his foot
steps upon the ground seemed TO ut
ter the familiar word 'soldi'' 1t
would be brave man indeed, who
would dare ask his honor, the coroner,
what his verdict was on that dead
body in the peach orchard

I Evansville, jackson ~ New Or
leans Railroad.

The proposition submitted to the
city of Evansville, to subscribe $780,
600 to the above road, has been with
drawn indefinitely.
The Courier of that city assigns the
following reasons for the action of the
directors:
"a few believed that we would pay
the money and get no road, few that
there was no "bottOm" in it as they
expressed it, few that the narrow
guage was not the correct thing and
these joined with the friends of the
st. Louis and Southeastern Railway,
made formidable opposition. They
killed this proposition, but not the
enterprise Of building road,to Jack
son."
OF the future of this great eater
prise the Courier speaks encouraging,
ly. Among other things it says:
at is one of the necessities of this
city, and must come sooner or later.
Should Gen. Stone complete n road to
jackson, he would have no difficulty
in getting $500, 900 from this city, nor
id getting a guaranty in advance that
the money would be paid"

be glad to close this sad and terrib'G
story of ignorant passions run wild
all the result Of the agitation of Il c
civil rights bin, that acme Of all VIII
ianies forced upon the people of Ten
nessec by the representative men OF
the colored race in this St5se. But it
is our duty to so further, sed tell the
whole horrible story.
On Wednesday moaning at one
O'Clock, a hundred or more masked
men entered Treutou, overpowercd
the jail guard, took the sixteen negro
! criminals there confined for partici-
patton in the Pickettsvine outrage
and murdered them to a man within
few miles Of Trenton. This action
was an outrage, that demands and has
received the unqualified condemna-
tion of the people regardless of race.
In Trenton an Indignation meeting
was held, and the lawless maskers de-
nounced in unmeasured terms. The
Governor has offered a reward of $500
each for the apprehension of the
thoughtless, cruel and lawless mask
ers, who perpetrated this unnecessary
and shameful crime. Intense excite
ment grew out of this fearful outrage,
and the negroes throughout Gibson
county were greatly aroused and
alarmed. Dispatches full of blood
and thunder flashed over the whole
country, and from the lakes to the
gulf, and from ocean to ocean the
crime of the maskers has met a uni
versal condemnation. Yet it is true,
that terrible as their crime was, II was
provoked by crimes as great
crimes either perpetrated or contem-
plated by the blacks themselves. But |
while there are palliating circum-
stances iii the matter, the Iawless
maskers who killed the sixteen ne |
groes on Wednesday morning are |
murderers, and should be dealt with as \
such. These negro would be assas-
sins, had been tried by the law, IN
der the law they had been remanded |
to Jail, they were in the keeping of
the law, the law in the hands of white
men, and there was neither reason nor
excuse for the summary vengeance
that was visited upon them.
Growing out of this fearful affair
Trenton, Pickettsville and Humboldt
we're agitated on Wednesday by the
news that large bodies of armed
negroes were marching on those
towns. The widest excitement pre-
vailed, and dispatches were sent in
every direction asking immediate
help. One of these dispatches reach
I'd jackson about 10 am, and within
IN hour two hundred Well armed men
were ready TO march. A train was
put in order, an engine fired up and
everything was placed in readiness to
move at a minutes warning. No sat-
sfactory dispatch being received from
he threatened towns, the two hun
lred men referred to, under the COM
nand of GenI Campbell, marched to
he depot to embsrk for the seat of
var. 4 finer body of men never e
marched on any occasion, or underany
,anner- But at the depot a dispatch
vas received that the services of the
Jackson boys was not needed. Here,
Without further comment, we leave
his whole terrible business, deter
mined in future issues of the Wing
nd Tribune to discuss it more fully.
