of Commerce heads tho account Of
the little furry between the St.
Louis and Chicago baseball clubs
thus: "Bring on the fool killer,
Ten thousand idiots assembled to
observe eighteen lunatics quarrel
over BASEBALL.
Personal in Tuscaloosa (Ala.A
Times: VIM. Russell (colored) } re
turned from Wetumpka few days
ago. He voted the Radical ticket
illegally two years ago, and instead
of getting forty acres and mule
he got forty lashes frequently, and
drove a mule in a dump cart in the
penitentiary for two years.
We read of man who placed 200
potato bugs in bottle and sprinkled
lime over them. Within one hour
not one of them was left alive. On
the following day he sprinkled lime
over his potato patch, and on the
next morning found tens of thous-
ands of the bugs lying dead. The
experiment is worth trying.
The San Antonio (Texas) Er-
press says: "0ne of the largest
droves of cattle ever brought from
Texas was, few weeks since, driv-
en- from Capt. Kings rancho in
Neuces County to Kansas. The
herd numbered $4,000 horned cat
tie, and needed 700 drivers. The
outfit alone cost $4,000, and the
cattle were disposed of for $780,

Hallettesville TEX. Herald: Our
new jury bill allows the peremp-
tory challenge of all persons who
can not read and write, puts a qui-
etus to the chronic juror by refus-
ing to allow any one to sit more
than certain number of days in
six months, and hits a hard lick
against rascality by throwing out
of jury lists all who are under in
dictment for felony.
San Antonio (Tex.) Herald:
When a man is put in Jail by the
police he is carefully searched and
everything he has about him is tn
ken. We hear that one policeman
searched a prisoner SO thoroughly
that he took from one a pocket
knife, 80 cents in fractional curren-
cy, a second hand chew of tobocco.
and the seven-year itch, which he
also had on his person.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republi-
can tells of the sale of farm of
100 acres near that town, with fair
:. buildings and some timber land, for
only $1,000; also OF a 200 acre
farm, with good house and two
barns, 30 by 40 feet, for $4,000. 1t
states that not many years ago the
latter farm was bought for twice
that sum. Population and values,
it adds, are steadily declining in
the purely agricultural sections
The people are moving away, or if
they stay, seek other more remun-
erative occupations than agriculture
The Nashville (Tenn.) american
says: Three hundred and fifty bar
rels of Irish potatoes were forwarded
to New York city in a single day
for shipment TO Cuba, where there
is a demand for them. One of our
Davidson county farmers cleared
81, 200 on forty acres Of potatoes,
which he sold in June. This gen.
tleman came here two or three years
ago without a cent in his pocket"
It was Henry S. Foote, who now
leads the Republican ticket in Ten
nessee, who deliberately wrote over
his own signiture that Andrew
johnson was a party in the as
sassination Of President Abraham
Lincoln. 1t is the same Henry s.
Foote who now accuses Samuel j..
Tilden of the most heinous crimes.
1t appears that no amount OF expe-
rience will teach the venerable ac-
cuser a lesson. n.-Banner.
; In the late Tennessee convention
ex Governor Isham G. Harris de-
clined thrice to be an elector for the
State at large. In spite Of himself
he was nominated By the conven-
ton. He Withdrew from the ticket
on account of certain discontents
: in East Tennessee. In doing 50 he
7 talked like a brave and honest man,
; as he is, and his words should have
found response IN every generous
mind. Not so, however, for the
t Republicans continue to abuse him
