sulphur for Cares in Poultry. .


Mr.. FL. W. Lamar writes to tie Tri-
bune that when he was boy, and big
brick ovens were in use in the South,
every morning when the biscuit for
breakfast was taken out and the oven
yet hot, Sally made up a pone of corn
meal (unsifted) bread, with a heaping
tablespoonful of pulverized sulphur to
the quart of meal, mixed with water
and nothing else, and this was fed to
the chickens and turkeys morning and
evening, and | never knew one dozen
chickens lost with gapes, as it is known
that sulphur is death to parasiticai
worms. The young turkeys had a pill
of ground black pepper given them
each morning when they appeared
dropping, until again lively. These pills
are easily made, by adding enough flour
to cause adhesion.

Assassination.

The Wilkinson, Georgia, appeal, of
late date, publishes an account OF the
murder of Will G. Moreau, formerly d
well known citizen of that State. The
particulars of the affair, which occurred
on the evening of the 9th, at his resi-
dence In Washington county, Georgia,
are furnished the appeal by member
of the coroner's jury who sat upon the
case. 1t appears Mr.. Moreau was sit
ting in rocking chair in front of the
fire, reading a newspaper. His wife sat
by his side, and behind him sat little
girl, who lived with the family, while
their little daughter lay asleep on bed
in the same room. The murderer ap-
preached an uncurtained window by
mounting the piazza, and fred the fatal
shot through one of the lower panes.
The charge evidently of .buckshot)
broke the window and the lamp, (Which
it extinguished), and entered the body
of Mr.. Moreau, causing almost instant
death. Terribly frightened, but not
yet rea izing the full measure of the
horrible deed, Mrs. Moreau and the lit
tie girl fed to the negro quarters, and
thence to a wagoner's camp near by.
Appealing to the wagoners for aid they
accompanied them back to the house,
where they found Mr.. Moreau dead.
The news of the assassination spread
rapidly, and the neighbors soon gath
cred in. Search disclosed footprints in
the muddy ground leading to the spot
where the fatal shot was fired, from the
cabin of negro named Richard Aiken,
nd v0<x1 he 30
Aiken was arrested and lodged in Jail.
The coroner's jury found that the de-
ceased had come to his death by means
of gunshot wounds inflicted by the ne
gro Aiken. No cause has been assigned
for the commission OF the deed. Since
his departure from this State Moreau
had been engaged in preaching the Cos
pei to church in Washington county,
Georgia, and, so far as could be learned,
had led an exemplary life.

A Colony of Poles.

Describing a colony of Poles at La
porte, Ind, a correspondent says !:
1.-The new Polish arrival has an un-
pleasant, cringing way of dofing his
hat, that makes you think of monarchy.
The men shake hands when they meet,
and salute each other with kiss; and
they sbless each other, in the name of
the Mother of All Sorrow, at parting.
A few of them, if the very quintessence
of truth were known, doubt that this is
the best country lighted by the sun.
They vote any ticket that happens to
fall into their hands, and they do it
with an unconcern which can only come
from an unequivocal incomprehension
of its meaning. When they enter a
grocery they call for the best of what
they want, and pay for it without ques-
tioning the price. They buy the best
sugar, the best coffee, the best
alcohol, and bow to the salesman
on leaving the room. They take
to the woods, on first coming to America,
as naturally as babies take the measles,
or muskrats to the water"

Not Guilty of Murder.

The preliminary examination of Pat
rick Dever, charged with killing his
daughter, at Vienna, recently, took
place at Nashville last week, and finally
resulted in his release. The evidence
of the shooting was all confined to the
family of the deceased, who testified
that it was purely accidental. It was
admitted by them, however, that de-
PENDANT was drunkard, and vicious,
wicked man, who took special delight
in breaking furniture, dishes, and
everything else that came in his way.
VIM. Rudifer and Chas. Dudley. who
shot travelling man named Jerry Pick
ard in the streets of Terre Haute about
a month ago, have been sentenced to
the penitentiary for terms of ten and
nine years respectively. On the eve of
his departure Dudley was married to a
woman named Winnie Shaler, from In
dianapolis. Packard is recovering.

Our Direct Trade.

1t is fact worthy of note that while
the direct trade between Chicago and
Europe is constantly on the increase,
that between here and New York is
rapidly decreasing. A few years since
all the provisions and breadstuffs ex-
ported from the United States to Eu-
rope were purchased through New York
firms, many of whom were represented
by agents in this city. At present the
shipments are either made direct to
Europe by Chicago firms or foreign
houses who either have branches here
or send their orders to Chicago houses
to buy. Not one pound in ten of the
provisions shipped from the West, and
especially that sent from Chicago to Eu-
rope, is rehandled in New York. A
very large percentage goes by the way
of Portland or Boston. Philadelphia
is also diverting portion of this export
trade, and in few weeks the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad will have its line COM
pleted to this city, and being by far the
shortest and most direct line to the sea-
board will be able to carry freight at
such a rate as will enable Baltimore to
outbid Gotham for the export trade of
the West. To such an extent has the
trade between New York and the West
fallen off during the past two years,
that Chicago firms, who few years
since established branches in New
York, find it improbable to continue
them, and are preparing to concentrate
their capital here with view to in
creasing their direct trade with Europe.
Our direct import trade is also rapidly
growing, and our leading jobbers are
now importing nearly all the foreign
goods sold in this market. The rapid
ty with which capital is concentrating
in the West, and the improved means
OF shipping Western product to the
markets of the old world and receiving
their merchandise in return without
paying tribute to the seaboard cities,
will soon enable the West to dispense
with the services of Eastern merchants
in order to sell or to buy from the mer-
chants of Europe and other foreign
countries. CHICAGO Courier.

Indiana Deaf and Dumb Asylum.

The thirty-fifth annual report of the
Deaf and Dumb Institution has been
submitted to the Governor. During
the past year there have been 1874 pupils
-193 males and al females. Two have
died and Al graduated, leaving 291 now
in the institution. The estimates of
expenses for the year ending March 81,
1876, are S69, 900, and the same for the
succeeding year. The superintendent
reports an increase of deafness, as in
dicated by applications for admission,
largely in excess of the increase of pop
ulation. Statistics show the increase
to be from disease rather than in those
born deaf. and spotted fever is the ex-
citing cause in 35 cases of SO cases re-
ceived. The total expense for the year
has been $66, $3.50. So.

A Loving Husband.

According to story told by New
York correspondent of the Boston
Times, prominent municipal officer in
the former city has discovered methed
for converting women into hard cash.
When his first wife was announced by
the physicians to be 80 far gone in con-
sumption that her death was only a
question of days, his feelings overcame
him to such an extent that he rushed to
an insurance Office and took out poll
cy of $40, 900 on her life. The officers
of the company accepted'the risk with
out asking for any physical examination
of the subject, the word of her husband
that she was in good health being taken
as ample guarantee. He then carried
the policy to another office, and on the
strength of it got another SIC, 900, and
thus repeated the operation till the pol
icies amounted to $1,000 He had
to wait but little time for the fulfill
ward, as the lady was gathered to her
fathers within few months, and the
woeful husband was comforted with the
insurance money. The speculation was
so profitable that lie hurried to renew it,
but as eligible women with diseased
lungs were scarce, he contented himself
with wealthy girl Before the mar
rage her relatives demanded that he
should settle certain property upon her,
which he did, taking the prccaution,
however, to mortgage it for nearly all it
was worth. When the trick was dis
covered she left him, but he retained
the better part of her-S100, 00c in va
rious goods and chattels. A third spec
ulation put $3.50, 900 more in his purse,
and even now he is not satisfied.

THE OLD HOME.
BY WILL WALLACE HARVEY.

An outdoor quiet held the earth
Beneath the winter moon,
The cricket chlrped in coy mirth,
And the kettle crooned, upon the hearth
sweet, old-fashioned tune.
The old clock licked drowsy race,
With the clicking of the cricket,
And red Goals in the chimney-plaoe
Peeped out with many q rosy face,
Like berries in thicket
The cranes arm empty, stuck out stiff,
And tinware on the shelves
Twinkled and winked at every Cliff,
In the Pickering freight, as if
They whispered to themselves.
The good dame, in her rufied cap.
Counted her stitches slowly,
And the old man. with full many gap,
Read from the Big Book on his lap,
The good words, wise and molly.
The old clock clicked, the old man read
His deep voice pausing, lowering;
The good wife nodded, dropped her head
The lids of both were heavy as lead
They were sound asleep and snoring.
Oh, hale olu couple, sweet each dream,
While-au the milk-pans fitting
Puss paints her whiskers in the cream,
Till John and the belated team
Bring Maggie from the quilting.
May Time, I pray, when failing years
Make thin my voice and thrapple,
Find my last days of life like theirs,
AS sweet with children's love and pray ers,
And like a winter-appe.
