No Court.

On Monday last the regular February
term of the circuit court Wa. o.pened by
Judge Maher. His attention was at
once called to the fact that the juries
we're not legally drawn. 1t appears that
the chairman Of the county commission
ers was not present, when the drawing
was made, but that he was represented
by another commissioner who acted in
his place; it appeared also that the
drawing was made twenty-oae days before
the meeting of the court.
The judge ruled that no graod jury
could be drawn this year and that the
grand jury of last year must serve during
the present or until new one is legally
impsnuelled.

Cotton at Port Royal.

The wharf at Port Royal is covered
with cotton. which is destined for Eu-
rope. The Talisman and Alice Roy are
loading there. We learn that contracts
have been made by which there will be
shipped at this port twenty-five thousand
bales this season. The strongest efforts
have been made to prevent the shipment
Of cotton here. The Central railroad has
rsken cotton from Augusta 70 Savannah
for nothing, aud has paid drayage and
wharfage in Savannah rather than allow
cotton to come to Port Royal. Ofcourse
that thing will fail to work after awhile.
Next season we confidently predict that
hundred thousand bales will be shipped
from eur port in spite of the efforts OF
either Of our rival railroads to prevent it.

How to Destroy the Chinch Bug.

A Missouri farmer thus tells the st
Louis Repubiicnn how he manages the
chinch bug: Take an empty barrel ia coal
oil barrel preferred, one that has been
lately emptiedD; fill the barrel with dog
fennel every farmer knows what dog fen
mel isl, pound it well down with Il wooden
maui until your barrel is about onethird
full; make strong soft-soap suds, using
about half IA gallon of soap to each barrel;
have your water hot, and pour your suds
into the barrel while hot. Let it stand ten
or twelve hours. When cold take a COM
mon sprinkler, such us are used in stores or
gardens, sprinkle well every hill of corn
that is infested with the bug; where the
bug has got between the stalk and the
blade it will be necessary to be particular
so as to get the liquor in contact with
the bug; two dressings will generally
vanish the enemy. If you have no coal
oil barrel use about half :; gallon of coal
oil for each barrel You can fl your
barrel twice without putting in any fresh
fenHel, stirring up the fennel when you
put in fresh suds If you want to save
your corn lose no time in trying the
above remedy. The same will eifectually
destroy he pOtato-bug.

WHY does boiling fast render meal
hard?
Because the excessive action of heat
causes he albume OF the meat to sci
solid, crisps up the fieshy finers, and pre-.
vents heat having gradual access to the
interior.
Why, when a good soup or broth is re-
quired, should the meat be put into cold
water?
Because, as the heat is developed very
gradually, there occurs an intermiXture
between the juices of the flesh and eX.
ternal matter. The soluble and savory
parts of the meat escape and enrich the
soup.
Why are stcws generally hcalthful and
digestible?
Because, being compounds of various
substances, they contain all the elements
of nutrition, and as the office of the
stomach is to liquify solid food before
digesting it, the previous stewing assists
the stomach in this particular.
What causes the cracking noise when
lard is put in Il fryingpan?
Lard always contains some portion of
water, and it is the expansion of this
water into steam, forcing its way through
the fat, which causes the cracking noise
The heat at which fat or oil boils is much
greater than water. When the cracking
ceases the water is gone and when the
fat bubbles its heat is very high.
Why should fish or meat that is being
fried be frequently turned?
Because the turning assists the cvap-
Grafton of. the water. When the fish or
meat is allowed to lie too long steam is
generated under it and the steam is
driven off, the surface catches to the hot
pan and becomes burnt and broken.
Why is broiled meat SO juicy and
savory?
Because the action of the fire harden
ing its surface seals up the pores through
which the juices might escape. 1t acts
in the same way with the joints of meat,
but steak should not be turned with Il
fork, because the puncture of the tissue
opens an escape for the juices, and
wastes the best part of the meat,-Ameri-
ruy PUfroH

A MOST singular and unaccountable
disease, commonly known as the "burst-
ing sickness" has broken out in this
vicinity, and already has spread to many
of the neighboring villages and cities.
The people are in CONSERVATION by rea-
son of the many deaths which have DC
CURED. The doctors-wretched medical
men at the best-are at a loss how to
deal with the trouble, and the priests
have their hands full. Tlalenango, Bo-
lanOs, Cartagena, and even Sanceda Hac
are suffering more or less, and there is
no cling where or when the disease is
to stop. | am not an expert in desCrib-
ing sickness, but the trouble seems to me
to be an unusual discharge of nerve
force into the brain. The symptoms are
sudden nausea, followed almost imme-
diately by Il severe and sharp pain along
the spine, proceeding from its lower eX-
tremity to the head, and described us
feeling as though IL blunt knife were
scraping upward. There is then-when
the pain reaches the back of the head-a
sharp and poignant distress there which
makes the patient de1irious, although it
never produces Inconsistencies or loss
of the right uses of The senses. The
eyes are bloodshot and wild, with pupils
greatly contracted. The sensitiveness to
light is intense, SO that even in paroXysms
OF eXcrucidting agony the patient will
rise and eek Il dark place. This state
lasts commonly not more than thirty to
forty minutes, during which the patient
feels as though his head was splitting;
and when this condition has lasted for
about half an hour the Uranium actually
bursts open at the sutures, as is some
times the case with infants whose heads
split thus after death from water on the
brain. The sound produced by this rend
ing asunder of the bones of the skull
can plainly be heard full ten feet from
the patient. 1t is said that in some in
stances the disruption is extremely sud
den, and accompanied with noise still
louder. This occurs, too, at Il moment
when the sufferer is in full conscious
ness, and it is most terrible to witness.
The disease broke out at the silver
mining region at Bolanos about two
weeks ago, and its cause is unknown.
About 300 generally adults
have already died of it, and it is yet
spreading. The sickness is, so far as l
know, as unique as it is singular.-Nsri-

~ sun seemed an age to Johnny before a
brakeman came in to reverse the seats
ana be much aStonished TO find a smal
boy there all alone and CRYING too hard
to speak-fOr he was so glad to see some
body that the poor boy sobbed worse than
ever then. But al last the man made ONT
Johnnys name and where he came from:
for everybody on that road was used 10
seeing Mr.. Blake 20 back and forth this
long time, and Johnny soon had some
bread and milk at the Dibbie tavern and
was TO be taken back on the excursion
Tram 10 lloXton at ten O'Clock. There
was no telegraph office open at Dibble--
ihey were both shut up for the day; so
no word could be sent to mamma. and
when Johnny got safe back to Uoxton.
under the conductors care this time, he
had TO walk home alone-a ycry sheen
lsh, sorry, dirty little feilow-and mann
ma was all but frightened to death about
twelve o'clock to see him come in at the
long window all by himself How glad
she was to see him! All Hiram said
WAS What in thunder" and then
he stopped as if he couldn't saw
any more; perhaps the big words choked
him. Ann screamed. and Jerusha
dut the diShcloth into her pocket,
and took IA boiled potato out of the cup
board and began to scour the pewter
platter with it; but she didn't say a
lhlng. Jerusha was queer Nobody
could telegraph to Mr.. Blake now till
night, for the office here was closed too
SO he came home the next dav, in great
haste and distress thinking Johnny was
lost. lie was very glad, you may be
sure; but then he had Il long talk with
mamma, who cried a little at first, but
had to say pretty soon that she really
was afraid Johnny needed something be-
sides talking to before he could be a
good boy-something to make him re-
member And think he always did re-
member the whipping of that night, for
he told Hiram that he guessed he knew
best-talking didn't leave an ache an
smart like that hickory rod but he-was
a much better boy afterward Mamma
always thought it was being run away
with by the cars. Hiram said he knew
it was the whipping. | don't certainly
know myself, but ! have my own ideas
about 1t; AT least, Johnny never went
out again so very early to spend the
Fourth of July. T. Iadependelt.
