Our Mother.

The following is from the pen of a
distinguish he'd author. The sentiments
are true and excellent, and beautiful .
ly expressed: Around the idea of
ones mother the mind of man clings
with fond affection. 1t is the first
deep thought stamped on our infant
hearts, when yet soft and capable Of
receiving the most profound impress
ions, and all the after feelings of the
world are more or less light in COM
parison. | do not know that even in
old age we do not look back to that
feeling as the sweetest we have IN life
Our passions, and our wiltulness may
lead Us far from the object of our
filial love; we learn even to pain her
heart, to oppose her wishes, to violate
her commands; We may become wild
or angry or head strong at her cOun-
sells or opposition; but when death has
Stil!cd her mOnitOry voice and nothing
but calm memory recapItulates her
virtues and good deeds, affection, like
Il flower beaten TO the ground by past
storms raises up her head and smiles
amongst her tears. Around that idea,
as we have said, the mind clings with
fond affection; and even when the
early period of our loss forces memory
to be silent, fancy takes the place of
remembrance, and twines the image of
our dead parent with garland of
grace, and beauties, and virtues, which
we doubt not she possessed.-SoHtherH

FullertOn's Finishing Stroke.

The most mastery thing which has
been done in the Brooklyn trial, was
Fullerton S closing contest with Beech
err, terminating the latter's cross-ex-
animation. 1t was like the writing
of two seTpcnts for the mastery, but
the lawyer so pressed the preacher in
his merciless coils, that the later in
squlrmiug, made an opening, through
which the lawyer sunk his long poised
dart, and practically struck him dead.
He inquired of Beecher whether he
had been greatly alarmed at the state
of his health in 1873; and by Il series
of most artful questions, gradually led
him into the confession, that he had
been threatened several times with ap-
oplcxy in that year, and more than
once did not expect to come out of the
pulpit alive. Having established this
confession completely, the willy lawyer
then handed to the great expounder of
Scriptural truths paper, bearing his
signature and having verified it, ex-
hibited the paper to the court. 1t
proved to be policy of life insurance,
for several thousand dollars, which
had been obtained by the great preach
er upon his life, in the early spring of
1874. on the solemn representations
that he WAS in full health and no ten
denotes whatever towards disease or
ailment of any kind The triumphant
lawyer. witha barely perceptible smile,
then said cody to the court; If your
Honor please. this closes the cross ex-
animation. "-Neio York Spirit Of tie

Granger Cotton Mills in the South.

The Atlanta Constitution says that
several grangers in South Carolina are
combining to build a cotton mill on
the Saluda river. Upon this SUI yes
ton it proceeds to urge the establish
ment OF, first, cotton yarn factories,
" at every cross road in the state" for
the working up of its cotton produc-
tions. which can be much more eco
nomically shipped as yarn than as raw
cotton; and, second, of regular cotton
factories, as the yarn mills shall pros
per and accumulate capital as well as
attract both it and labor, and thus
stimulate the production Of cotton and
all other agricultural products, by thus
making home market for them
These mills, it says, will cost but ten
thousand dollars, and that amount of
money can be raised in any cotton
growing neigborhood. AS these OK
periments prove successful and the
opportunity offers, the entire water
power of the state is to be used for the
propclling of cotton mills to take the
place of the yarn mills. until Georgia
Shall become the Now England of the
south. There is much good sense in
these suggestions, aud it is to be hoped
the experiment will be tried.

The Tobacco Crop.

The Greensboro Monitor has the fol-
lowing sensible suggestions, which the
farmers would do we'll to be carefully
consider:
IF the tobacco crop of the present
year results in a failure it will be a
good time for our people to speculate
upon the folly Of a one crop system.
The great course ofthe Southern people
to-day, and their course for years past,
is of nature kindred to the one that
atfiicts the people of this section. In
the South, despite reverses and fail
ures, the people still cling to the idea
that cotton is king, and consequently
they go on planting, failing, starving
and getting deeper in debt. And here,
we go on planting tobacco, filling aud
losing aud learning nothing. There are
other crops that our people could and
should take hold of, and by so doing,
they would in three years be far better
off and have a country much more val
liable than at present We know very
little about farming it is true, but the
phase Of the case which we have briefly
touched upon, is easy of comprehen-
sion TO any Of even ordinary under
standing.

Il promised not 70 tell Where he
went. sir.
"Oh. yes, / forgot. Well, tell us his
last words. and we won't trouble you
any more"
Ills last words were: Its my only
chance, child, and I'll get down as you
say And overcome by fright, and
the sense Of her kinsman's danger,
should they eighty interpret the lam
guaee which She had reported, she sob, ,-
ed cloud, aud hid her face from sight.
Her tormenters did not stay longer
to soothe Or question her. They had
got, as they Supposed. the information
which they wanted, and pushed rapid
~ on down to the river. Now the
Governor had arranged a signal with
his boatman that white cloth by day,
or light by night, displayed from the
attic window of his hiding place, which
was just visible at the mouth of the
river, should inform them if he we're
in trouble, and put them on the alert
to help him. As soon, therefore, as
he started from his cousins the signal
floated from the window to warn them.
And when they saw the pursuing party
dash nladly down the road 20 the river,
and recognized the paiform of the
leader, they pulled swiftly out to sea.
The horsemen reached the shore only
in season to see the boat with two men
in it nearly ont of sight; and suppos-
ing their destined prey had escaped,
relinquished the pursuit.
Meanwhile the hunted victim lay
safe and quiet, where the simple
shrewdness of the little cousin had
hidden him, until the time for the re-
turn for supper Then he babe her
go as usual to her home, t. Hing her to
ask her mother to place the signal
lamp, as soon as it grew dark, in the
window, for the bOatman. and to send
him there some supper, with his valise
which, in the hurry Of departure, he
had left behind.
The signal recalled the boat, which
after twilight had ventured in sight oil
the shore and the farm house, and
the Governor quietly made his way to
the river in safety. When he rejoined
his family in a secure home, he named
his infant daughter, which had been
born in his absence, "Hetty Marvin,
that they might be daily reminded OF
/ the little cousin whose truth and
shrewdncss saved his life.

THE BUFFALO GNAT.-The buffalo
gnat, which is causing so much des-
tructiOn among cattle in the South
west, is small insect, not more than
half the size of the house fly, which
suddenly appears in the air by millions
and settles upon all four-footed ami
mails within reach. A horse or COW
will be literally covered with them at
night; IN the morning the animal will
be found dead and swelled to an enOr-
nous size. The bite is very poison
Gus, and the wound quickly testers.
Cattle owners find that the most effec-
tive way of protecting their animals is
to cover them with coating of diluted
tar, but if that cannot be done fires are
built and the smoke drives off the in
scctS. Amongst the wild animals, es-
pecialiy the deer, on the Arkansas
side of the river, the ravages of the
gnat are everywhere apparent. With
out any protection, the deer fall vic
tins in large numbers to this poisonous
insect, which, however, does not touch
man.

Silver Unearthed i'm RObertsOn-130
Glittering Dollars in Small Change
PlOwed Up.

Last week while Mr.. Thomas Pit
was blowing in field belonging to the
old homestead of VIM. Powell deceased,
his pillow struck hard substance and
refused to do its duty. Mr.. Pittraised
1t from the furrow, and discovered a
copper still pipe'25 inches in length,
with the opening at each end battered
together. lie heard the rattle of the
chink, and hastened to make an in
cision and upon examination and ac-
tual count, found said pipe to contain
one hundred and thirty-eight dollars
in silver coin in denomination of five,
ten, twenty-five and fifty cent pieces.
1t was known that Mr.. Powell had,
during the late war, buried several
similar packages, and as he thought,
before his death, they had all been un-
earthed-but this proves that in his
belief he was mistaken just one pipe.
The money was turned over to the
heirs. Mr.. Pitt being one of them, and
