The story comes from France of hor-
Uor similar to that portrayed by Dickens
the death of a man from spontaneous
combustion. The theatre of the tragedy
was one of the suburbs of Paris, FOnte-
nay-duBois. The victim had been for
years confirmed drunkard consuming
on an average quart and half of bran
dy day, and frequently he would shut
himself up alone for quite a period to
indulge unmolested in his debauchery
Not long ago, conscious of his degrada-
tion, he resolved to destroy himself, and
took the preliminary steps in true French
style. On Easter Sunday he shut him
self up, and as he remained secluded
much longer than usual, the neighbors
broke in his door. An overpowering
smell of spirits saluted them as they en-
tered the room. In a brazier were found
the remains of charcoal fire, and on the
bed lay the body of the mana cinder
The doctors assert, that spontaneous
combustion must have taken place soon
after the drunkard lay down to die.
THE Huntsville (Ala.) Advocate says
that instead of corn being shipped into
that country as has been the case ever
since the war, it is now being shipped
from it, West Tennessee makes a sim.
liar report. And little corn is now
brought into North Mississippi and Ar.
kansas. Cotton is low, but the farmers
are no longer wholly relying on the
northwest for "hog and hOminy." They
are beginning to produce the necessariei
of life, and to realize that no community
unable TO feed itself can be permanently
prosperous. Let us have more corn anC
wheat and fewer trust deeds; more hOm
my and less interest money for summe
advances; more hogs and cattle ant
grasses, and fewer debts; more production
of the necessities of life and less cotton
more farming and less planting. It n
longer pays to "plant," but good farm
ing will pay in every civil district in tn
southwest. That's the sort of politics.

THE " Solemn injustice of the Britis
magistrates has been again illustrate,
the illustration being furnished by 30
of the late Bishop Wilberforce. AS til
story is told by Mr., Conway, in a lett,
to the Cincinnati Commercial, two Iitt
boys, sons of farmer, who is his neigl
Dor, were recently discovered by WILDE
forces gamekeePer digging at a rabbit
hole on his estate. The farmer went
see the magistrate to apologize for IL
offeBse and represent the thing as chill
ish folly which ought not to be publicl
noticed Wilberforce assented to thi
and told the farmer to send the bows
him, which he unsuspectingly di
Whereupon this magistrate" toe
them into a stable and beat them so $
verely that the flesh was torn off bot
the boys in long strips from head to foe
aud at one time it seemed doubtful
they would recover. The lord chancell
has delivered a reprimand to WILDE
force but there are some persons WI
are net satisfied that reprimand is sui
cient in such a case, and Mr.. Peter Tia
Ior is set down for motion in the hou
of commons, which will compel til
body to say whether this magister
brute is a fit person to administer just
in England.
