To prevent pumps from freezing, place
a small tack just under one edge of the
leather valve which retains the water,
sinking the tack into the leather to hold it.
This will cause a small leak and the leath

Too Much Cotton.

Bishop Pierce, in a letter from
Texas to the Southern Christian Ad-
vocate. offers the following rational
advice to his Southern countrymen:
Verify King Cotton, like other kings,
is consuming the substance of the
people. Prosperity in this article of
production, it seems, "tendeth to pow
erty." A very heavy crop has been
made, and yet the people are on the
ragged edge" of insolvency The
more we make the poorer we grow.
And yet the desperate bet is laid on
another crop, in the face of ten years
unbroken uniformity of results. The
heather adage, Whom the gods mean
to destroy they first make mad" is
being actualized. No soil, no fertili-
zer, no seasons, will save the country
on the line of its present agricultural
policy. The result is just as disas-
trous on the virgin soil of Texas as on
the wasted lands of Georgia. The
man who loses money in making ten
bags of cotton, will loose yet more in
the production of hundred. This is
the fact in experience, in spite of the
ory and figuring. Forgive this episode,
for l am really distressed at the pros
poets of the country, financially. Bad
government may destroy US and our
property, but no legislation can lift US
out of the present slough of des-
pond without home supplies. Bread
and meat must be made, not bought.
The great burden of expense lies right
there. The stomach costs more than
the back. Make bread, raise meat,
live at home, be self-supporting.-
Neither imitation, nor contraction, nor
the financial plank in the coming plat
form, will save US. Help must come
out of the ground, in breadstuffs.-
You may go to Texas-all cotton will
swamp you; you may stay in Georgia
and grow fat and rich on peas, potatoes,
wheat and corn. Let US fill our gar
ners with all manner of stores then
our oxen will be strong to labor, our
sheep will bring forth thousands; then
there will "be no breaking in nor 60
ing out" in quest of food-plenty and
peace will hush complaining in our
streets" and we shall be a happier
and better people.

/. No gentleman is to invite lady
to dance, but to await his invitation.
2. No gentleman is to conduct la
dy to or from her seat. He must ac-
cept that attention,
3. No gentleman is to offer his chair
to lady.
4. No gentleman is to conduct lady
to supper or serve her when there.
5. All the usual attentions from
gentlemen are for this night tabooed.
They must be the recipients, not the
bestowers OF customary courtesies.
6. Every neglect on the part of the
gentlemen to keep these rules neces-
states the payment of a forfeit, which
will have to be redeemed as sentenced
by the judge.
The adoption of these rules and
their enforcement will secure any
quantity of fun, and prove an agreea-
bic change to the customary routine
of social gatherings.

Old Age.

A century ago, il was respectable to
be old.
Children were taught to venerate
old age. The school-boy were in
Ssructed to lift their hats, and the
schoolgirls were taught to courtesy, ("
whenever an old man or woman passed
them by.
Everybody gave way to old age
The warmest place blythe fireside, and
the softest chair in the house, belonged
to grandfather and if grandmother
lost her spectacles, or dropped a stitch
in her knitting work, young hands and
young eyes were ready to serve her at
once.
Father used always 10 be consulted
in all business matters and mothers
advice aud counsel were needed and
respected.
Honor thy father and thy mother,
that thy days may be long in the land
which the Lord thy God giveth theel"
was taught to the children along with
the lesson
who was the first man ?"
Who was the first womanY'
Reverence for old age was inculca-
ted from infancy, and the reckless
youth who would have dared venture
a scoff at the expense of gray hairs and
tottering footstep, would have felt the
rod of which Solomon was the advo-
cate.
How is it now?
Father is "the old man." or "the
governor" Mother is ''the old gal"
Young men, in their strength and
thoughtlessness, push rudely past the
aged in all our public Assem- blies, and
occupy comfortable seats in our street
cars and railway carriages, while the |
old man and woman stand unsteadily, |
and support themselves by canes or
crutches.
Yong ladies, rosy and blooming
just as that poor old tottering woman |
once was-will crowd her away from
the fire in our public halls, and laugh |
with their gay young companions,
when her scanty garments of fash
ion ten years ago obsolete, meet their |
eye.
Old age is laughed at. Gray hairs
are fiouted. Wrinkles are made a jest |
of, and young America goes on all un-
mindful of the fact that few more |
springs of bloom, and few more au-
tumns of decay will bring gray hairs to
take the place of the brown locks upon
his temples, and wrinkled burrows to
displace the bloom upon his smooth |
forehead.
Pause and reflect
Old age is what we are coming to |
Nothing can save us from it but the
grave
And if In the years coming, when
and decay shall fall upon
US, we would be respected and cared
for by those around US let Us now, in
our youth aud strength, be thoughtful
of the aged, for it is not truer that
God liveth, than is the divine asser-
ton
With what measure We mete it
shall be measured to you again"

The following is from a correspond
ent of the Columbia Herald and Mail,
Of recent date
Henry w. Faxon, whom the Turf,
Field and Farm, gives as the uudoubt-
ed author of Beautiful Snow" which
for delicacy, softness, sweetness and
tenderness of sentiment cannot be sur
passed, aud which has made his name
immortal, was once telegraph opera
tor, in this place. We remember him
distinctly; he was very dimunitive in
size, with an effieminate face, indicat-
ing the most delicate organization /;
sharp and stinging were his witicisms,
but personally he was amiable 10 a
fault. He could give and take withan
inexhaustible fund of good nature, and
one would neverdream that the rollick-
ing, jolly youth, was the author of the
charming little poem than which for
quality, originality, artistic feeling and
power, no American has ever given a
greater. He was a great favOrite Of
the young men around town, and was
known among them as "Sorrel, a
name that was given him at Stickney's
Circus. Although he sleeps the sleep
that knows no waking, our memory Of
him recalls to our mind, many recol-
lections of by-gone years, and highly
esteemed and dearly loved friends of
yore. Yes how often we think Of the
halcyon days of yore, fond memory
often retreads the wandering paths Of
life, till she arrives at the happy
period, when we were boy. When
each joy and sorrow seemed but the
sunshine, or shower of an April day.
There are scenes sud incidents con-
nected with those early days, that time
can have no power to etface. They
hang around our memory like shadows
over streams, and in solitude cheer our
souls like dreams, Of Heaven.
The past, the silent past, pale memory
kneels,
Beside her shadowy urn and with a deep,
And voiceless sorrow, weeps above the
grave
OF beautiful affections, her lone harp
Lies broken at her feet, and as the wind,
Goes DER its monldering chords. dirge-
like sound
Rises upon the air, and all again
Is an unbreathing silence"

A Pigmy Graveyard in Coffee County.

An ancient graveyard of vast pro.
portions has been found in Coffee coun-
ty. 1t is similar to those found in
White county and other places in
Middle Tennessee, but is vastly more
extensive, and shows that the race OF
pigmies who once inhabited this
country were very numerous. The
same peculiarities of position observed
in the White county graves are found
in these. The writer of the letter
says:
Some considerable excitement and
curiosity took place few days since
near Hillsboro, Coffee county, on
James Browns farm. A man was
plowing in a field which has been
cultivated may years, and plowed up
a mans skull and other bones. After
making further examination, they
found that there was about SIX acres
in the graveyard. They were buried
in sitting or standing position. The
bones show that they were dwarf
tribe of people, about three feet high.
1t is estimated that there were about
10000 to 100000 buried there. This
shows that this country was inhabited
hundreds of years age Woodbury.

Memory Of Old Men.

While arguing a case before the
United States Supreme Court iu Wash
ington, few days ago, Mr.. Albert
Pike made clever reply to an objec-
tion of Attorney General Pierrepont.
The Attorney General had questioned
the evidence of one of Mr.. Pixies wit
nesses on the ground of the extreme
age of the man-seventy-three-and
presumptive failure of his faculties.-
"Well, your honors," said Mr.. Pike,
Il don't altogether like that myself,
for l am sixty-six years old, and in a
little while [ shall be seventy, and
even seventy-three, and l am some
what sensitive about old men with no
memories. / see on the bench before
me one justice hearing this case who is
sixty-nine years old, another who is
seventy-two, and | would like to ask
with what force the Attorney Gener-
ais argument strikes them that man
has no memory at their ages" Mr..
Pierrepont yielded the point Curl
ously enough, the client for whom Mr..
Pike was arguing was Ex-Governor
Rector, of Arkansas, with whom he
had once fought duel.

The Sacramento Record has doubts
as to Grant, and itreasons in this way;
"If policeman Of an imaginative turn
should catch the impression that cer-
tain man whom he found on the stoop
of a mansion at night was a capitalists
taxing the air, and should cling to this
belief Notwithstanding the mans OBJ
vious endeavors TO remove the lock of
the door with an 'undoubted jimmy,
confusion would inevitably arise in the
policeman's mind, very apt to facilitate
the burglars escape. Ii, however, rhe
officer entered upon his beat void Of
preconceived ideas, and caught the
burglar at work, he would never doubt
for q moment that the conditions justl-
fed him In making an immediate ar
rest, and he would feel a comfortable
assurance that the court would reason
from the jimmy to the penitentiaTy
without the last hesitation. In the
presidents case what is wanted just now
is this cold blOoded and unimaginatiye
kind Of reasoning, and perhaps il is as
soon as it can be looked for, the CLAM
our Of General Grants military services
having warped the public Judgment Sc
riously for many years. The question,
is he an honest man ? must, however,
be answered before long, and # itisto
be answered correctly the report must
be based upon the evidence. We do
not believe that honest men choose no.
