prehensions of alarm respecting the future.
A South Carolina paper says that these
troubles are caused by the mischievous inter
ference of a few politicians, not over a dozen
among thousands, who either hold office or
desire to. Ii this is true there is no great dan.
ger, but we fear it is not During the week
there has been trouble at Lancaster Ky.. where
Two candidates for county office, both white
men, have got into quarrel which resulted in
the arming of their adherents, for what
reason is not told. The candidate who
had the negroes on his side, called a
number to his residence where the grounds
were fortified. The other party occu-
pied the town. by some means a collision
followed and two or three negroes were killed
and severalIwhite men and negroes wounded
AS general thing the people did not partici-
pate the conflict and both federal and state
authorities have taken measu ures to ouell the
disturbances.
Trouble is also reported between the whites
aud blacks in Choctaw county, Alabama. The
whites heard that band of coored men had
formed conspiracy to make an attack on
them. A negro who informed the whites of the
piot' was whipped by his associates, and suLse
quentiy tnose engaged in it were arrested.

Through all the confusion, the clap
ping Of hands and murmur OF
hundreds of voices, the words OF
the speaker came clear and distinct
to her. There was something in
the tones strongly familiar, and
they camo as If reminding her Of
a dream long since forgotten. Then
she gained view of the speaker, and
started as she reconized his features.
After all these long years, there she
was gazing upon tho lace and listen
ing to the voice Of him who had
become as ono dead to her. 1t was
strange experience, but it brought
her no comtsrt. She had heard ruj

She would depart anu max 10 !. ! .s,a.
But this was not to be. Mr.. CoEger
had heard that Mrs. Sibley was in
Washington, and 1t was not long be.
forc he recognized her in the gallery.
lie disappeared from the floor, and
while she was revolving the queer
circumstances that brought them once
more under the same roo., she telt a
light touch upon her arm, and look
ing up beheld HIM before her. Their
hearty greetings over, both became
embarrassed. Each tried TO appear
altogether oblivious of the past, and
each most signalIy failed. To add q
little poetry
We cannot kill the past somehow
We cannot shut tho door
That hangs between what We are now
And what we were before.
The rest shall not be known,
Except that with u weary tread
We walk oar ways alone.
At last Mrs. Slbley rose to go. She
would be glad to see Mr.. Conger at
the Arlington, and also his wife and
family. She supposed they were
with him OF course. Then came the
explanation, and Mr.. Cengcr promis-
ed TO call on one condition. Name

what you uttered twenty seven years
ago, replied he. take it back, she
faltered, and then skooted out OF tho
gallery, as General Sherman would
say, to hide the happy tears that
sprung to her eyes az she said il.
And then Mr.. Conger went back 10
his seat, with wonderful flow OF
spirits, and looking as ii his five and
fifty years were but five.and-twenty.
The other day there was aquite, hap
py wedding in Washington, and Mrs.
Sibley and Mr.. Conser played the
principal characters.
SO ends the story, and it is pretty
good one, Notwithstanding it is true.
AS Bouoicault would say, tho night
Is passed; the darkness disappears;
Joy cometh in the morning.

When you see person thrown
By misfortune, or BY vice,
Help him thrice or seven times thrice
Help him up, or let him alone.
If you give the man : kick
You may stumble a brick,
Or q stone.

And the bad luck andsthe vice

And to hunt their holes like mice;
And the man you trsod to kick
Now has changed ipto brick.

Choosing Eggs for Hatch
ing.

Eggs for hatching should be
chosen of the fair average size
usually laid from the hen they
are from; any unusually large or
small being rejected. Some hens
lay immensely large eggs, aud
others small ones. A FAT hen will
always lay small eggs, which can
only produce small and weakly
chickens. Absolute size in eggs
is, therefore, of little Importance.
Round, short eggs are usually the
best to select; very long eggs, es-
peciaIly if much pointed at the
small end, almost always breed
bids with some awkwardness in
style OF carriage. Neither should
rough, small eggs be chosen, for
they usually show some derange.
ment of the organs and are often
sterile. Smooth-shelled eggs a.
lone are proper for Matching. 1t
is farce TO suppose that the sex
Of bird can he determined by
the shape of the egg.

The Grasshopper Plague

The grasshoppers have made
their appearance in Campbell
county, East Tennessee, and are
devouring every thing green
that comes in their way. Near
JacksbOro, in the above named
county, a gentleman saw a
stretch of country about one
fourth of mile wide, and from
a half TO a mile long, which was
covered so thickly with them,
that he could not put down his
walking stick without touching
one of them. They were tray
cling westward.
About six miles west Of
Knoxville, Tenn, they are des-
troying corn fields.
Reports from all sections Of
Nebraska relative to the grass
hoppers, are very discouraging.
. In Dawson county there will not
be enough corn raised for seed, and
unless the government aids the cit
liens of the State they will suf.
fer severely.
The grasshoppers in Minnesota
are going in the direction of Wis
consin and Illinois.

Getting Clear of the
GrasshopperS.

How the farmers of Wright
county, Iowa, drove away the
grasshoppers is revealed by the
local paper. The crops in the
county we're abundant, and anx-
ious husbandmen were in hopes
that these destructive pests
would not appear till after the
harvest. At once they came,
however, in clouds and darkened
the sun. BY a preconcerted
plan the farmers set fire TO piles
OF dry straw on the borders of
the wheat fields, and smothered
the fire with green hay. That
caused volumes Of smoke to
roll over the fields. The grass
hOppers didn't relish the pro-
cedure at all. They rose with
such a multitudinous hum Of
wings as to deepen into a roar
like distant thunder, and fled
the county. In that way the
Wright county farmers have q
fair prospect of saving the crops
In Europe the peasantry depend
on noise to keep the pests from
alighting. All the church bells
are rung, while men, women and
children arm themselves with
kettle drums, tin pans, horns
and what not, raising a din that
would wake the dead.

pound of green coffee, purchased
from a respectable grocer at a re-
spectacle price, BY pouring over it
about a quart of tepid water
The water, poured off about five
minutes afterwards was of a dark
green color. Ii was thrown out,
however, before an examination
was made OF it, and the test was
accordingly repeated, upon the
same coffee, this time with cold
water, in which The coffee was al
