Let the Voter Listen.
New Orleans Times.

On Friday morning Messrs. Il. ii.
Mari, |. W. Patton and T.. o. Car,
ter called upon Judge Hill, of the
United States Circuit Court. at his
rooms il the Custom-housc, and held
long interview with him relative to
the matter OF the selection of United
States Supervisors of election.
The conference lasted halt an hour,
and was most agreeable to both
parties. as will be seen by the follow
ing address, issued subsequently by
Judge Hill:
To the voters for Representatives in Con-
gress, and Electors ior President and Vice
Presiieat Of the United States in the State
of Louisiana:
In compliance with the request and
order of the lion w. Il. Woods. |
have opened the Circuit Court of the
United States, for your State, for the
transaction Of such business as may
come before it under the Acts of Com
grcss in relation to Federal elections.
and to which these laws alone apply.
The court will remain open until and
including the next day aftet the elec
ton, to be held ON the first Tuesday
in November next.
found no applications or nomina-
lions on file, but from q conference
with leading men belonging to both
political parties. find general desire
that the very best men of both parties
shall be selected, aud shall serve as
Supervisors, and that the appoint
ments shall be made at an early day.
AS am assigned to the same duty
for my own State-Mississippi-it is
impossible for me to remain longer in
your State at present.
10 facilitate the appointment Of
Supervisors in your State the follow
ing plan is adopted: Each party,
through the Chairman of its Execu-
tive Committee, will file, with + A.
Wolhv, Clerk of the Court and Chief
Supervisor, the name Of the person
selected to act for the party at each
voting place; when an application has
been fled by the requisite number Of
citizens for the appointment Of such
Supervisors, that is for the city of
/ New Orleans two citizens and for a
parish ten citizens.
! These nominations will remain on
file for one day subject to objections
BY the Chairman of the other party,
and if no objection be filed the Clerk
will enter on the minutes the order OF
the appointment and issue the CON-
mission, but, if objection he entered,
the difficulty will be settled by the
Chairman Of both parties if possible.
by the nomination of another person
or otherwise; if not settled this way,
the Chief Supervisor will take the
statement of each and forward to me
at Oxford, Mississippi.
But from the amicable feeling mani
tested by both parties l do not appre.
bend any difficulty. The powers and
duties of those appointed for the city
of New Orleans and those for the
parish are different. Those Of the city
are defined in sections 2OlG, 2Ol7
20lS, 2Ol9 and 2020, and those for
the parishes in section 2O29
These sections the Chief Supervi.
sor will cause TO be printed and at
tacbed TO the commissions of each re-
spectively, for the guidance of the Su
pervisors, and who will when re
quested exhibit the same to any
voter.

The Irish peasantry have an Unborn
taste for funerals, and i'm the amount OF
honor done to the departed they lose
sight of the actual loss they haye suf-
fered.
''Och, shure, thin, it was fine berry
ing; there was a sight of people and a
power of cars" is as great a eulogium
as can be accorded any man, and will
quite console the survivors. And the
reverse, ''Och, thin, he didn't leave
enough as would berry him dacent;'
in fact, they think far more of how
they are TO be buried than of keeping
life itself. The poorest and most i'm
provident lays by something for his or
her own wake, and l have myself
known cases of paupers in the hospital
wards who were accumuiating under
their pillows a little store to save the
disgrace of parish coffin, that being
the greatest and last misfortune that
could befal them. Douglass Jerrold
was much struck by this phase of the
Irish character, and it is he, think,
who tells an affecting story of young
girl whom he found in cabin. busy at
her needle. 81 see you take in plain
sewing; this is some bridal grandeur" /"
he said, taking up what looked like an
elaborate night-dress. '"Tis no we'd
ding grandeur, replied the girl proudly
''Shure tits my own shroud; let life
bring what it may, plase God I'll have
a dacent wake"
In parts of the north of Ireland there
was at one time, some forty or fifty
years ago, a rather romantic custom,
that when young unmarried woman
died, her coffin should be carried by
young girls only to the graveyard. As
this was situated perhaps fifteen or
twenty miles from where she lived, it
followed that the bearers should be
changed every second mile, and on
these occasions there was generally an
escort of running volunteers, who in
this way often did their thirty miles in
the day.-This was called shifting the
coffiD," and good many marriages
were the result of these excursions; but
the idea was, nevertheless, pretty and
pastoral. Dublin University Magazine.

SmOllett and his Mother.

Tobias Smollet, the novelist, poet,
genius, and traveller, best remem bered,
perhaps, by the average English reader
as the author of '.Roderick Random"
lost his father at an early age, and as
his mother had been left poor, he was
taken in charge, and educated by his
grandfather. At the age of nineteen he
had served term of apprenticeship
with physician in Glasgow, when, his
grandfather having died without max
ing further provision for him, he went
to London, there to strike out for HIM
self. He carried with him the manu-
script of tragedy, called the ''Regi-
eide" upon which he placed great
reliance, but he found no manager
willing even TO read it; SO he threw
aside his pen in disgust, and obtained a
position as surgeons mate on board an
eighty-gun ship, where he learned much
of life. He was present at the ill-fated
expedition against Carthagena, where
he gained a rich experience which he
subsequently Incorporated into Rod
erick Random" When he again turned
his efforts into the literary channel, he
was better able to battle with oppOsi-
ton, and as he produced works of real
merit he became popular.
Smollett had grown from youth to
middle age when he concluded once
more to visit his native land. His fame
had gone before him, and his reception
by the dignitaries of Scotland was cor
dial and fiattering. But he had prom
ised himself the greatest pleasure in
meeting with his mother whom he had
not seen since his beard begin to grow.
The battle of life, and the travel into
foreign climes had left their scars and
their tan, and it was thought that his
mother would not know him.
Mrs. Teller, his sister, introduced
him as a gentleman from the West
Indies, who had known Tobias when he
was there, and the better to support
his assumed character, Smollet put on a
serious look. amounting almost to a
frown; but while his mothers eyes were
riveted on his face-the old eyes with
the kindly gaze that he remembered so
well-he could not refrain from smiling.
In an instant she was upon his bosom,
with her arms around his neck.
80, my son my son l have found
you at last All ~ she added, as she
held him off. and gazed upon him, had
you kept the austere looks and the
gloom upon your face, might have
missed you; but the old rOguish smile
it betrayed you at once IN. L. Led

AGRICULTURAL.

HUNGARIAN MILITIA great diver
sity of opinion exists among practical
farmers as to the value of the several
annual grasses commonly known as
millet. This may be accounted for in
part by the character of the soil where
grown. All the varieties Of millet are
peculiarly adapted to light, sandy, or
sandy loan soils, such rs will produce
full crops of timothy and red. top only
under the most favorable circumstances.
Land that is excellent for grass is not
the best for millet, and the best millet
land is not natural grass land. Milletre-
sembles the corn plant in its adaptation
to warm land and hot weather, and for
this reason We should expect to find it
more popular crop on the dry, sandy
land bordering our sea-cOast than upon
the moist, green hill l-tops of Vermont,
New Hampshire, and Western Massa-
chusetts. AND this we find is the case
many farmers in the interior having
scarcely ever seen a patch of millet
growing. Profitable crops of millet
presuppose land easily plOwed and
capable of being smOOthed of and laid
down with little labor.
As feeding crop for milch cows, we
hold it in higher estimation than when
we commenced raising it, probably be-
cause it is now grown more thickly and
cut earlier. Formerly it was thought
that peck of seed was enough for an
acre. Then twelve quarts was recon-
mended, next half-bushel, and SO on
till now we find the most successful
growers using from three to four pecks
of seed per acre. This gives fine
quality of hay, and if the land is made
fertile, a heavy burden may be obtained.
When first introduced into our neigh
bornoOd. many years ago, millet vas
recommended as specially valuable for
horses, yielding both the hay and grain
on the same plant, and it was tried for
this purpose, but without giving salts
faction. The straw was too hard and
stiff, and the horses did not appear to
relish it like good timothy and oats.
Most farmers now cut il, or intend to,
when it is i'm blossom, and when cut
thus early they find that it is eaten
readily by all kinds of stock. Many
even contend that it is better than the
best hay. We can not give it quite as
high credit, but esteem it very valua
BILE plant with which to supplement
the grass crop in dry season. From
two to three tons per acre can be OBJ
tanned in from sixty to seventy days
from sowing, and it may be grown
after an early crop of hay has been re-
moved.

In the year 1920, when James b.
Rand, long station master at Green
land, on the Eastern Railroad, was a
boy of nine years, he was working in
his fathers garden one fine day, on the
farm In Rye, New. Hampshire, now
owned by his brother William, and
took up a clOd Of earth TO throw at his
sister, who was joking with him. The
dirt crumbled in his hand, and TO his
great astonishment there came from 1t
bright gold ring, on the inside OF
which was the date "1747." 1t was
plain, with an eagle engraved upon the
outer surface. Who was the loser was
never known. 1t became his wife's
wedding ring. Since it was found as
above stated it has twice been lost and
found-once on the road in Rye, where
it laid through part of winter, until
the snow melted, when Mr.. Rand HIM
self found it.
