The Bloodiest Tragedy in American
History.

The 9th of March was the anniver-
sary of the bloodiest tragedy in Amer
lean history. On that day, thirty-eight
years ago, Col. James w. Fannin and
AS men were shot to death by the Mex
leans under Urea in the port at Goliad,
Texas. A week before, Fannin and his
force; being surrounded by the enemy
and at the mercy of their artillery, sur
sendered and were taken to Goliad.
Major Ward, whom Fannin had sent
with 100 men to escort some Irish fami-
lies, was also captured, and the Ameri-
cans were massacred together on Sun.
day morning.

Fallacics In CIhcesc.yr.kin~.

At the last meeting of the American
Dairymans' Association, at Utica. n.
Y, T. D. Curtis, of Syracuse, read a
paper on what he termed "Failacies in
Cheese-making." He said that one fall
Lacy, which had been widely published
as true, was that of making cheese in
the shape of a cubic cylinder, and ex-
pcct to have the cheese sell at profit.
Mr.. Curtis thought that cheese made
in o square form exposed more surface
to the air, and therefore is more liable
to dry up and become tasteless. He has
never seen small cheese of any shape
that was as good and rich as q large
one. For good curing no cheese should
be smaller than so pounds nor larger
than 100. In such cheese there is
some rich meat. Square cheese, if
made large, are worse to handle, more
like box Of hardware. A large round
cheese can be rolled in handling. An
other fallacy is the making of skim or
llalf-skim cheese. These are made at
creameries, and the manufacturers
claim that they are equal in richness
and profit to fnll-milk cheese. "Good'
cheese can be made "half. SKIM" but
first-rate" is the objective standard of
all good dairymen. There is limited
demand for half-skin cheese at the
South, on account of the less liability
to melting or running down in hot
weather. He thought that making this
cheese deterlorates the reputation of
American cheese, and that is suicidal.
Good cheese sells readily at fair price
in any market, while the skim cheese is
slow and dull even at low prices. The
human system requires certain amount
Of fat in the food, and this fat is mixed
in a healthy proportion with casein in
milk. Why not eat the butter with the
cheese, rs nature designed, and do lcss
skimming? Ii we take the butter ont
Of the cheese, we lessen the quality and
Ito not increase the profits. The cheese
is made unhealthy in a hygienic point
of view, being harder, not ripeninp nm
mellow, and is quite indigcstiblc
Health, profit and national pride ali
unite in forbidding. any taking out of
the rich natural oil from the milk before
making it into cheese.
In the discussion which followed.
Mr.. Holdridge, Of Otsego County, N.
Y, spoke in favor of making small,
square cheese, exhibitinga sample made
ut his factory. This cheese is very dry,
will keep anywhere, and when wanted
for use only requires mOistening alittle.
The expense of boxing is a. little as for
round cheese. He sells such cheese for
two and half to three cents per pound
higher than ordinary good cheese, and
this more than makes up for the extra
drying.

Bronchitis.

This isanirritation or inflammation of
the bronchial tubes which carry the
air we breathe into the lungs. It arises
from cold settled in the throat, from
Catarrh extending to these parts, from
scrofulous affections, and from severe
use of the voice. The irritation from
this latter cause commences in the lar
y'sx and glottis, which are the organs Of
the voice, and, extending downwards,
produces hoarseness, coughing, and
splitting mucous matter, sometimes
mixed with blood. It is chiefly danger
GUS from it's tendency to spread intothe
lungs, and terminate in consumption.
It is in the cure of severe and obstinate
cases of this disease that DIR. PierceIs

lover, who had come to Paris days be-
fore in search of her, and that night he
takes her back to her home. The
hearts of the old peasant women, her
neighbors, who had before looked some
what askance at her, were touched with
pity at the sight of the sadly-changed
Bebee, whose eyes were fearless, and
who never spoke q word or gave q

her and laid her down in her little bed,
and opened tho shutters to the radiance

Towards sunset Bebee raised herself
and called aloud. They ran to her.

brought "she kissed it and laid it on
one Of her little wooden shoes that
stood upon the bed. Send these to

the stiffness of night was fallen on the
place and Mere Krebs asleep in her
chair, Bebee rose from her bed, walk
ed through the open door out into the
garden, seeing nothing familiar in it all,
and on to the water beyond. "Ehen
she crept down, as a weary child creeps
to it's mother and throws itself forward,
and let the green dark waters take her
where they had found her amidst the
lilies, little laughing, yearling thing.
She had been only Bebee. The ways
of God and man had been too hard for
her.

minc tho best depth to plant peas.
Buried ono or two inches deep, they
came up soon. bore early, but did not
last long. At three and four inches i'll
depth, they came up three or four days
later, did not bear quite 80 early, but
gave a heavier crop and continued for u
longer time. At five md six inches
depth, they appeared two or three days
later, and grew about as vigorously rs
the others, and continued still later.
At eight and ten inches they were long

last year We made series of expert
ments to determine the effect of time on
the terminating powers of the pea
varying from one to five year old seed.
The oldest seed was nearly week long

but in other respects little difference
was observed, although tho plants from
the old seed were at first hardly rs Wig

Useful Hints.

A GOOD way to polish silver is to rub
with wet whiting, let it dry with some
of it on them. When the articles are
of an intricate pattern, the whiting is
not easily removed, and it is better to
use aqua ammonia rubbing with soft
rag.
A RAG carpet should not be washed
as long as it can be avoided. It soils
much easier after being once washed,
besides fading. If there are grease
spots,a little hard soap rubbed on, then
washed off with hot water and we'll
rinsed, is q good way to remove them
or some aqua ammonia is equally as
good.

what the State Democratic Committee
Say About the Reported Outrages-

what the State Democratic COMMITTEE
Say About the Reported outrages.
The Alabama State Democratic Com
mittee have issued an address to the
people, in which they say:
Since the commencement Of the present
canvass, you cannot have failed to observe,
that our enemies have beer busily engaged
in manufacturing and tabricatIng the GUS
tomary and usual false charges Of Outrages
and violence, that they bring forward pc
riOdically, in every political canvass in this
State. This, with them, is the main and
controlling enginery Of every political cleo
tiOn in this State, and not only in this
State, but in every State in which they rely
upon negro votes. Their object, and pur-
pose, in this, is too plain to admit of seri-
Gus question. By pursuing this
course, they mean to keep
the negroes banded together In antago-
nism to the white people of this State,
so that they can continue TO control
these negroes, as they have heretofore
done, in political elections, for their
own wicked and selfish purposes. We
believe that it is their intention to so
luAo NcAAN ass .elC W AAANAlC LhGcC
negroes to violence in certain localities,
and when our people, In self-defence,
repel these attacks, that then, by gross
Misrepresentation, these enemies of
truth, Justice and honesty, will make
this an excuse for slandering our
people, and for seeking Federal inter
ference in the coming election. We
have carefully examined into these
charges, and upon the best informa-
ton we can obtain concerning them,
we deny that our people or party sane
ton or are responsible for any such
acts of violence, and we not only chal-
lenge investigation of all such matters,
but pledge ourselves to aid any and all
Investigations of these charges, IN the
lawfully constituted tribunals of this
country. A calm survey of this mat
ter cOnstrains us to believe that bad
men in the Radical party secretly per
petrate acts of violence for the purpose
of giving a semblance of truth to their
slanders against our people, and that
corrupt men in the Radical party re-
joice at such occurrences because 1t
furnishes them an excuse to circulate
malicious falsehOods against the white
people of this State. We further take
this occasion tn say, that our party
stands unalterably opposed to the viO-
lation of law and order in any manner,
shape or form, and it abhors and con-
demns the idea Of any man, OF. set of
men, taking into their hands the pun
ishment of crime, otherwise than as
provided for by the laws of the land,
and that we will make every effort IN
our power to maintain the supremacy
Of the law, and we call upon all good
citizens of this State to do the same.

TAKING A FLOGGING VOLUNTA.
RILY

A negro in Alabama, who had stolen
a pair of horses and a wagon, was ar
rested. He did not like the idea of GO
ing to jail; but his guilt was clear and
admitted, and his conviction certain.
He bethought him, under these circum-
stances, of the custom which prevailed
to large extent under slavery, for the
master to infict corporal punishment
on a servant who had committed larce-
ny, instead of sending him to prison,
by which his services would be lost.
The negro thought he would prefer
this 20 being shut up, 50 he requested
the owner of the property to give him
fogging instead of sending him to
Jail. Another colOred man being
found to administer the stripes, the
proposition was acceded to, and the
punishment inflicted.
1t would be hardly safe tofollow this
example. A similar occurrence took
place IN the District of Columbia,
some time ago. after the castigation
had been given the victim repented
himself of the arrangement, and put
his case into the hands of a lawyer.
The lawyer had the man who had in
fiIcted the blows arrested for assault
and battery. He was brought up for
trial, convicted and Gned, The court
held that persons could not be per-
mitted to take the law In their own
hands in this way, or to administer
punishment not provided by law.
