A xovel Cure for Rheumatism.

An Englishman with rheumatic gout
found this singular remedya cure for his
ailment: He insulated his bedstead
from the floor by placing underneath
each post a broken-of bottom of a glass
bottle. He says the effect was magical,
that he had not been free from rheumatic
gout for fifteen years, and that he began
to improve Immediately after the appli-
cation of the insulators. We are re
minded by this statement, says the Sci
enti6o American, Of patent obtained
through this Office for physician some
twelve or more years ago, which created
considerable interest at the time The
patent consisted in placing glass cups
under the bedposts in similar manner
to the above, and the patentee claimed
to have effected some remarkable cures
by the use Of his glass insulators.

SCIP. COLEMAN's GRIT


We have had an interview with Scip.
Coleman, the Radical negro who was
committed to jail by the United States
authorities the same day that Sheriff
Williamson was imprisoned. His ac-
count OF his arrest and Imprisonment
is truly pitiable. He was on his way
to town for medicine for a sick family,
when he was arrested by sixteen ne
groes and thrust into jail. Three
small sons Of his were in advance with
a load of corn, with which to procure
family supplies. Their corn was stolen
or given way, none of the boys being
old enough to transact business,
and they returned home empty handed.
The father was in jail-arrested with
out warrant-and his family were at
home sick, and without food. He was
kept in jail from Saturday until We'd
nesday evening, subjected toallmanner
of abuse. He was told that he was the
man who tagged the train on which
Ivey was killed; that he was bound to
be hung, etc. Meals were sent to him;
but Scip. said he was so terrified that
he could not eat. The purpose of
Scip's Imprisonment, and the terror to
which he was subjected, may be in
ferred from a remark he made to us, in
these words: Il tell you I'd die, before
I'd slCear TO lie about thing know
! nothing about"

THE GERMAN PLUM.

Among all the varieties of the plum,
the German unquestionably takes the
part of superiority. 1t is extensively
imported into our States. Physicians
are recommending it in many cases to
suffering humanity. 1t ought to be
raised in every garden. But it requires
an Industrious man to succeed; lazy
or negligent one will try in vain. 1t
requires a great deal of care to bring
the superior kinds of plum-trees, and
especially the valuable German plum
tree to bearing and remunerative con-
dition.
To encourage our gardeners in Ten
nessee to introduce the German plum,
and to cultivate it successfully, Will
give them few useful hints:
To keep the plum-trees in natural
size, mulch early In the spring, three
feet around the stem, three inches
high, with old rubbish and weeds, to
keep out the troublesome weeds, and to
sustain the moisture all along the sum-
mer.
To save the plum-tree from the at
tacks of the destructive curculio, we
advise the following sure preventive:
Mix one-haf of Sood-ashes and half
air-slaked lime, and as soon as the
leaves are wet with dew in the morning,
take several handfuls of the mixture,
and sprinkle it over the tree, for about
three weeks after they have done
blooming. S. L. SIGMAN.

EXPENSIVE LUxURIEs.

The 'anO fence law" is in operation
in four townships in this (Mecklenburg
county. The law went into effect IL
March, when the people were busy pre-
pairing to plant the present crop
Nearly all succeeded In getting sutii-
cient pasture fenced for the stock kept
on their premises.
The law works admirably. The
thought Of never again having to
scratch our hands with briars and
thorns, and tangle our feet with grape
vines, while mending our old dilapidat-
ed fences, is too good to entertain one
moment without almost shouting for
Joy. While those who work on the old
plan of fencing up their fields will be
busy this winter making rails, hauling
and building them on their crazy
fences, we Will be cleaning up our rich
fence rows for a luxuriant crop another
year. And, while they are paying out
their money for these repairs, We are
spending the same in compost heaps
clover lots, rye lots, and fall and win
ter blowing.
We copy the above from the Char
lotte IN. c. Democrat Fences around
crops and fields belong to the age wher
cities had high walls for defense, like
Babylon and Rome, and are expensive

BUTTER AND CHEESE FACTORIES

Can we not have factories to make
what butter and cheese our markets
call for? The Boston CultirGtor gives
the following hints:
Factory butter, like factory cheese,
commands an extra price. In butter
factories, as in cheese factories, a supe-
rior class of help is employed, and the
expense to the patrons is ightened,
and the profits increased. We find it
so among cheese factories and no
farmers wife who has once been rid of
cheese making would be willing to re.
turn to the old method. 1t would be
Just the same with farmers wives if the
farmers in the butter districts were to
adopt the factory system of butter
making, it being such relief to the fami-
". And, as the sales are made oftener,
there is the advantage of always hav-
ing ready money. The same mode of
dividing expenses and proceeds of the
sales may be employed as In butter
factories, that is employed In cheese
factories; or a company might be
formed to buy the milk; or cream only
could be taken to the factory.

cultivate good clover fields and grass
meadows, will buy good breeds Of
sheep and take proper care of them
The experience of modern times shows
conclusively that sheep are more valu.
able on a small farm than on a large
one; more profitable on highly cult
waited meadow than on barren noun
tain side, and fully capable of paying
for the highest amount of attention
that can be bestowed upon them.
We have in the South great advan-
tages for the production of grass, tur-
nips, and all needful heritage for keep
ing sheep by the million, and we pos
sess land by thousands of square miles
that we know not what to do with.
The minimum of labor will give us
whole counties of grass covered with
sheep yielding the maximum of wool.
We shall take another day to demon
strate that the same heritage eatenby our
badly managed common sheep which
gives Que pound of inferior wool may
yield three pounds ofwool worth double
price per pound.
At the recent State Fair in Illinois
experts were appointed to examine the
California fifty-one pound fleece, and
pronounced it no cheat or made up at
fair. Vitality in grass united to vitali-
ty in sheep, will work wonders In our
sunny South, if its people give humble
science fair play. A failure to do this
has begotten many of our misfortunes.

DOES SHEEP FARMING PAY.

The Sutter Call Banner, in an edi-
torial on sheep farming, concludes as
follows:
The sheep thrives best, produces
most flesh and most wool, yields the
largest, easiest and quickest profit
when he has nothing in the world to do
but eat, digest, sleep and eat again.
If he be kept upon land which will
only support one sheep to SIX acres, his
flesh is stringy, his wool why, and the
supply of both very small. If, on the
other hand, he be kept in a field where
five and twenty sheep can be fed to an
acre, and so carefully penned IN that he
cannot roam at viii over that, but must
eat up one part of the crop before he
can attack another, he will simply fill
his outer stomach full, apply himself
to the process of illumination, and after
ward gently sleep, while nature is
piling flesh on his bones, and wool on
his skin.
The principle above enumerated az
plies to the care and keep of all domes-
ticated animals. If one wishes to have
a fat goose or turkey, the bird should
be fed literally and kept quiet. Hogs,
cattle and other stock make the best
and cheapest meat when theyare never
disturbed, but eat and digest their food
in peace and comfort.
The finest mutton and the best wool
can only be obtained by men who will
