Some farmers make it practice to
keep the poultry in the orchards from

around the orchard high cnough to
prevent their flying over, with suit

and prosper, keeping themselves IN
good condition, and the incrcnsc Of
eggs will be greatly augmented and
their usefulness enhanced to their
owners at least on account Of the

destroy, and which will moro than

Flinging Shadows.

We have no more right to fling an
unnecessary shadow over the spirit of

we have to fling stone and injure
them. Yet this finging shadows is u
very common sin, and one to which
women are particularly addicted
Oh, whata blessing is merry, cheer
tul woman in q household One
whose spirits are not affected by We
days, or little disappoinlmcnts, or
whose milk Of human kindness does
not sour in the sunshine Of prosperity
Such u woman in the darkest hours
brightens the house like little piece
OF sunshiny weather. The magnetism
OF her smile, the electrical brightness
Of her looks and movements, infect
every one. The children SO tosc!,oo
with sense of something great to b.
achieved; her husband goes into the
world i'll n conqucror's spirit. No
matter how people worry anti annoy
him all day, far off her presence
shines, and he whispers to himself,
"At home | shall find rest" So elny
by day she literally rencws his
strength and energy; and ifyou know

more certain than that the man who

A FAMILY in Hamilton, Maine, has
the popularity of bleeding profusely at
the nose, or upon being slightly
wounded. Many of its members, in
former generations and recently, have
died of loss of blood set flowing by
some trivial cause. A local legend is
as follows: In Salem witchcraft times
sea captain brought his wife and little
girl to town, leaving them with Span
ish nurse, who was quick-tempered
woman, and, being annoyed by the
peevishness of the child, delibe, ately
bled her to death by opening vein in
her arm at intervals, threatening her
meantime with instant death if she
told. The mother, after the death of
-s.,e child, found out the cause, and fell
into a decline. cursing with her latest
breath her child's murderer, and pre-
dieting the same death to all ner male
descendants.

RICH DEVELOPMENTS.

It is an unfortunate circumstance
for the Republicans and Independ-
ents of California, that the leaders OF
both parties have been political friends
in the past, and know too much OF
each others history. Sergeant. who is
championing the Administration fac
Non in that State, accuses Bidwell, the
praNical monopolist, and pretensious
reformer, of using underhanded means
to secure the title to $4,000 acres of the
best land in the Sacramento Valley.
Bidwell retorts by accusing Sargent
of using equally reprehensible means
to secure the passage of the Placer
Mining bill, in which he was directly
interested. These charges and coun-
ter charges have led to a partial in
vestigation at Washington, and a
special dispatch to the Chicago Times
of yesterday announces that rich devel-
opments have been made, which show
that both accusations were well
founded. and that neither Sargent nor
Bidwell are spotless. The Times says
that the truth of the question is, that
Bidwell employed E. NJ. Stanton, who
held position in the Attorney Gen.
erals Office, to dismiss the appeal of his
land claim, which was optional with
the Attorney General, and that for
$4,000 the case was dismissed, and
Bidwell's title to the grant nominally
confirmed. But having shown up
honest John, the Times goes for Sar-
gent. and charges him with collecting a
valuable tract of land, to which the old
mining law did not five him q good
title, and then introducing and advo-
eating the passage of bill to enable
him and his associates to monopolize
a whole mining district. After the pas
sage of the bill Sargent went immedi-
ately to the Interior Department, and
with Jacobs, his old law part
ner, entered in the latter's name
over one thousand acres of valu-
able placer mines before the miners
in California were aware of its passage
or provisions. The cost to Sargent was
a little over 5000, but after patents
were obtained the firm held the mines at
$500, 900 and a London company offered
Sl20, 900 for majority interest. The
records of those proceedings of the
shining lights of the Republican and
Independent parties have been for
warded to California, and Bidwel and
Sargent have cause to regret their
attacks on each other, and that so much
of their secret work has been exposed
to the gaze of the public.

DOES MANUFACTURING PAYa

The Columbus (Georgia) Times, published
in CITY which in the Southern States, can
claim some prominence as manufacturing
city, advances the following arguments in IA
vor of the establishing of cotton mills in the
South. The facts presented are forcible, and
we'll worty of consideration as pointing un-
mistakably to the course our people should
pursue in order to acquire prosperity and the
ability to depend upon our own resources:
Five hundred hands-able- bodied men-are
required to make two thousand bales of cot
ton in one year. Four bales to the hand is
more than the average amount produced.
One hundred women and children can spin
this amount of cotton into yarns in the same
time it takes five hundred hands to produce
it. 1t is principle of political economy that
all values added to the raw material add So
much wealth to the section where it is bestow-
ed. Spun cotton is worth nearly double as
much as the raw material. One hundred wo-
men and children can add as much wealth to
a locality where they spin cotton into yarns,
as FIVE hundred able.bodied field hands who
produce the raw cotton thus manufactured.
Now, if these conclusions are correct, and
the calculation is made for the entire cotton
crop of the South, it is evident that in build
ing numerous small manufactures we adopt
the speedest way to attain prosperity and an
increase of population There is not small
factory in the State-limited to the manufac.
ture Of yarns-that has not paid handsomely
since the panic of 1873. Some have netted
forty per cent. In all parts of the State where
small farms prevail, it is becoming customary
to send the cotton to a centrally located gin
which gins for the neighborhood, taking toll
as grist-mills do. Now, suppose factory is
established on these centrally located planta.
tions, to spin the cotton into yarns, and the
cotton be pressed into bales of yarns and then
shipped, is it not selfevident that the enter
prise would pay? Of course, these factories
will be few in number until the profit becomes
generally known. but we believe in the end,
as men "drop out" of the Improbable pursuit
of cultivating large plantations on borrowed
capital, they will see that this idea is practi-
cal and pregnant with great results. In
stead of one man being the owner of the "cus-
tom" gin house, grange or cooperative So
ciety will build factory like that of MIR.
Rhodes Browne, in Columbus, with the "ddi-
ton of the necessary gins. The yarns will be
shipped either to the North or to Europe, and
will command more ready sale than raw
cotton now does. The profit now paid to the
manufacturer and middleman will be kept at
home and enrich the producer, who is now so
poorly paid for his toll. This is the mission
of the South in the near future, and it should
be placed before every agricultural or Grange
society in the States. 1t will be more pro6ta
BILE than Grange warehouses.
