How Four Acres Supported Eight Persons

For the premium OF S2lU offered at the GeOr-
gia'State Fair forthe best support made for a
family of eight white people off Of the small
est number of acres. Mr.. j. Cox, of Greene
his family we'll and generously, giving them
more to eat than City family Would eat in
two years. This is temple for Georgia, and
we present his description of how it was DONE
It is worth reading:
Your exhibitor would state that he has eight
white persons in family, viz: Self and wife,
three sons and three daughters; that he hires
no help; that he has selected four acres Of his
crop, cultivated by himself and family the
present year, from the results of which he
bases his entry for the premium in question
the said four acres being cultivated in corn,
one acre of which has measured out eighty-one
bushels, and presents certificates from disin-
terested persons, who state that the other three
acres are comparatively equally as good as the
acre measured. He, therefore, safely estimates
the four acres at seventy-ive bushels per acre
yield, or three hundred bushels of corn, be-
sides shucks, fodder hay. etc., enumerated be-
low. This, in connection with his small gar
den, potato and turnip patches, not over one
acre more makes the land, on which the result
below is based, five acres. The four acres of
corn is bottom land, and cultivated in the man
ner as set forth in the statement made by Inc
in the entry for best acre lowland corn, to
which I refer, the preparation and expense of
cultivation being identically the same:

Your exhibitor would state that he had three

ses, and twenty-seven head stock hogs, sows,
shoats and pigs, and submits that in his Judg-
ment the products of the five acres, as above
stated, is full, to maintain in an ample and
generous manner, the family of eight persons,
besides the whole of the stock, above enumer-
ated, and more besides, If he had it.
No estimate could be given of the garden
truck. fruits, butter milk, eggs, chickens, ETC.,
consumed by the family, the same being boun-
tiful and ample and only the amounts sold of
same are estimated.

WAS IT AN ESCAPED CONVICT!

Last night, between the hours of and 10
o'clock, number Of residents on st. Charles
Avenue were considerably excited over the
mysterious manner and strange actions of
man who was entirely unknown.
About o'clock in the evening he entered
the residence of II. H. Wood, Esq, whilst
that gentleman was absent, and without
knocking or ringing the bell, confronted the
lady Of the house.
OF course Mrs. Wool was considerably ex-
cited, but depressing any emotion, she asked
him what he wanted. The man said that
he had left the Jackson Railroad train at
bonneville and had walked down the levee.
He wanted nickel to ride to the city. Mrs.
Wood at once gave him the IN oney, and the
man reluctantly left. He next called at the
house Of w. r. Fish, Esq, but the front
gate being locked he was compelled to ring
the bell. Here he repeated his story and
asked for money, leaving when he received
it, The fellow next called at the hou sc of
T. Wharton Collens, Jr., where he stealthily
entered the gate, and before Mr.. COllens had
heard him was at his side in the dining
room.
After he had repeated his old story it
struck Mr.. Collens that perhaps the fellow
was one Of the escaped burglars from Baton
Rouge, and he accordingly ordered him
from the house.
The man is about 5 feet IL inches in
hpiyht is rather thick set and wears a
heavy set Of dirty brown whiskers. His
face is round, and he is evidently an Ameri-
can. He was dressed in a very shabby black
coat, which did not fit him.
1t may be that this is Berth, or some Of
the other escaped burglars.

Burning Of the Steamboat z.
w. Strader.
Supposed to be the Act Of an
Incendlary.
Boat a Total Loss.

About 1912 this morning fire broke ont
on board Of the steamboat P. w. Strader,
living at the head of Crescent street, Sixth
District.
The fire gained rapid Roadway, and soon
the entire boat was one mass OF flames, and
Notwithstanding the exertions of Carroll
ton Fire Company No. l was entirely con-
sumed.
The flames from the burning vessel com
municated to two barges lying near and
loaded with coal, but the attention of the
fire company being now attracted i'll that
direction, they were extinguished without
much damage. The p. w. Strader was
owned by Capt. P. Conrad, of st. Louis;
whether insured or not could not be ascer-
tanned.
VIM. Curtis and Isaac Jamer. two watch
men, were in charge at the time Of the break
ing out of the fire.
The boat is valued at about $4,000. The
cause of the fire is unknown, but is sup
posed to be the act of an incendiary.

THE TROUBLE IN ST. BERNARD.

We learn that the Commissioners and the
Police Jury appointed by Kellogg for the
parish of St. Bernard, notwithstanding the
protest of the people of both races, are bent
upon concentrating their scheme for the re-
moval of the Court House to a point near
the Barracks, at the extreme upper limit of
the parish.
This will be very outrageous affair, and
the people of st. Bernard should not permit
themselves to be trifled with by set of
political bummers.
At meeting of the people, held day or
two since, resolution was passed empow-
ering the President of the Police Jury,
elected by them, to restrain the commission
from moving the Court House, and to re-
strain the newly appointed Police Jury,
who, for the most part, represent nobody,
from exercising any of the duties of police
jurors. .......=
We are pleased to learn that the purposes
of the majority of the commissioners are not
sanctioned by Mr.. Motion, who accepted the
position in the hope of preventing the con-
summation Of any such scheme as is at
present on foot.

Obediah Bowen, the ex-CoDgressman,
whose extraordinary suicide, says the New
York correspondent Of the Mobile Register,
has been worked up into first-class sensa-
ton by some of our enterprising newspa-
pers, was regarded by his acquaintance as
partly insane for several years past. At one
time he was one of the wealthest men on
Staten Island, and the woman he first mar
ried, and to whom he was remarked some
years ago, had wealth almost equal to his
own. But both his fortune and hers were
squandered in dissipation. and latterly he
had no means of living except as he could
borrow five or ter dollars from persons who
knew him in his better days. There are
some men now in Congress who might follow
the final example of Bowen without much
loss to the country.

TIE ARKANSAS SHAME.

The latest dispatches from Little Rock
show deporable state of affairs, aud show
that there is nothing more nor less IN Arkan-
sas at this moment than civil war, which
is rapidly assuming alarming dimensions.
We have now almost daily lists of the killed
and wounded in battle, AMI people in all
parts Of the country have come to scan The
telegraph each morning for the list OF cas-
ualties 1t is humiliating spectacle, truly ;
but it is one of the legitimate results OF the
shameful rebellion in Louisiana, which the
Government sanctioned and sustained with
its soldiers against the State authorities
duly elected by the people.
SO long as the usurpation of which Kel-
lopg is the figure-bead is maintained by
Federal bayonetS so long as Durell is per
mitted to wear the ermne which he has dis
graced, and SO long as Senators have the
hardihood and etfrontery to defend the one
and excuse the other, just so long we may
expect instructions and rebellIons to rear
their bloody crests and civil war to stalk
abroad throughout the land
What the perturbed ghost of the muir
dered Banauo was to the Thane of Cawdor,
will crushed and outraged Louisiana be to
the party which has ruled the South with a
rod of iron, turning deaf ear to her plead
ings and giving her bullets and bayonets
when she dared resist thu ruthless thieves
and vagabonds who have been their chosen
and petted representatives..
1t will require no very vivid imagination
on the part of any Radical Senator or leader
to see the sad but stern countenance q
ruined Louisiana whenever he dare open his
lips to prate of liberty or of the glory of his
party.
But let the war proceed! Let men be
slaughtered and let liberty be trampled
under foot for dogs to bark at! What care
the men who misrepresent the nation in
Congress' Their motto is rule or ruin, and
they would see the country deluged in
blood, the Constitution flung to the winds
and every vestige of liberty destroyed,
rather than see their party defeated. But
the end is not yet.

In a recent discussion in the German par
Lament on proposed issue of paper money,
the experience ofother countries was quoted,
and the financial affairs of the United State
were not shown up in the most pleasant
light Herr Mosle said: 1.-The finances of
civil war, in disorder, because the paper
money, from day to day and week to week,
vaclllates IN value, while France, on the con-
trary, in spite of her dreadful defeat, and in
defiance of the suspension of the bank act
has her bank notes at par. Had she issued
paper money, she would be now, too, tinan-
cial Sodom and GomOrrah."
