drills, say two feet apart, and cultivate the
crop fn.ufoer to keep down the we9ds,
and the ground loose and mellow. A
pound of good seed is large quantity
for an acre, but it is not safe to use
less quantity, for the reason that
many may not terminate. Should
all of them, or nearly so, come up, it will
be necessary to thin out to four or six
inches in the drill. Under ordinary cir.
cumstances, good seed will germinate in
two or three days, and as soon as the
rough leaves are an inch broad the cult.
vator should be started and the plants kept
clear of weeds. A moist atmosphere il
favorable to the growth of the crop, and
this is what is expected during the fall
months, and the turnips enlarge much
more rapidly in cool weather than during
that which is hot
Too little attention is paid to turnips by
Western farmers. Here and there a man
who has learned the value of the crop fol
stock feeding, raises it, but as rule it is
neglected. As we remarked above, the
present is favorable opportunity fol
many of our friends to try the expert.
ment, and, in some degree, mitigate the
misfortune of short crop of corn. We
are sure that they will find it satisfactory
and paying investment, beside affording
their stock a food which is greatly relished
and highly beneficial to them.-Prairis

Sow Late Turnips.

There is no Disgusting the fact that the
almost incessant rains which have poured
flood of water during the past four
weeks over large area Of the great corn
growing region Of the Western States will
seriously affect that crop this year. With
no desire to create alarm we may say that
we have received letters from reliable par
ties scattered over a wide district of coun-
try, which plainly indicate that in numer-
Gus localities there will not be more than
half crop of corn. With favorable
weather and good management from this
time on, the aggregate of the crop may
not be SO largely reduced as to materially
affect the price, nevertheless, farmers, in
many places will have a short crop, and
thereby be subjected to more or less loss
and Inconvenience. How to make the
best of the situation, and, as far as pos
sible, avert disaster, is the problem which
every prudent farmer will endcavor to an
swer for himself. 40 IS - as q.
We will make suggestion. "A good
opportunity is now presented for many
farmers who have never raised turnips for
stock, to give them trial. The soil of
the prairies is well adapted to late tur-
nips, and there is little probability that the
season will be unfavorable to them. There
are number of varieties the seed Of which
may be sown in July and the early part
of August, and we advise our friends
whose corn crops will be greatly dimin-
ished, to prepare the ground as soon as
possible and SOW turnip seed. Dark soils
usually are highly favorable to the crop,
as they contain the necessary require
ments of this product. The ground should
be thoroughly prepared, and as free from
weeds as possible. Generally the seed is
sown broadcast, and the crop is given no
further attention until it is harvested, but
this is not the best way at any time, and
especially in season which has been as
wet as this. It is much better 70 SOW In

Battle with q Cat.

One of the strangest incidents that has
ever fallen under our Eeportorial observa-
ton transpired at the Virginia Hotel in
this city last night. Mr.. French, men,
Der of the Thorne dramatic troupe, play
ing an engagement in this city, was the
victim. He retired to rest at an early
hour last night, and soon fell into deep
slumber. After the lapse of an hour or
two he was aroused by q feeling of over
powering oppressiveness and suffocation,
and was Mortified to find that huge cat
was sitting on his breast and had its head
inserted in his mouth, sucking away his
breath. He found himself in an almost
exhausted condition, 50 much 80 that he
was unable to shake off the vampire fiend
attacking him. Struggle as he would the
cat only fastened its claws the deeper in
his chest, and went on at its horrible feast.
His groans and cries Of agony, however,
fortunately brought some neighboring
dodgers to his relief, and he was rescued
from his frightful position. Even then
they were compelled to- turn him out Of
the bed and roll him over and over onsthe
floor before thescat could be made to re-
lease its hold and abandon its purpose.
Mr.. French's face and chest this morning
bear frightful evidences of his terrible bat
tie with the monster, and he will probably
hereafter make special inquiry at his ho-
tells as to the character Of the cats belong
ing to the establishment. Mo6Srly Enter

Tragic Death In q Lime Kiln Of q
Mother and Two Children.

THE farm of John E. Cameron, near
this place, was the scene of fearful
tragedy yesterday morning. Mr.. Cameron
early in the day built fire in his lime
kiln. He lowered his son by means Of
the bucket and windlass into the kiln to
see that everything was in order there,
and then the two went to their work half
mile away. The operation of lowering
the boy into the pit had been witnessed BY
two other children of Mr.. Cameron, q boy
nine years old and . girl aged five. Soon
after their father had gone away, the lit
tie hoy told his sister to ret in the bucket,
and he would give her ride, He helped
her in and lowered her to the bottom Of
the kiln. When he attempted to pull the
bucket up, he could not move it, and after
several attempts he ran home and told his
mother. Mrs. Cameron and her mother
in-law, a lady about seventy years old,
were the only persons in the house. They
both accompanied the boy to the kiln.
Mrs. Cameron, on looking down into it,
saw the body Of her child lying in the bot
tom of the pit, she having fallen from the
bucket, and discovered that the noxious
fumes from the burning limestone had
commenced to fill the kiln. Not believ-
ing that her child was yet dead, Mrs.
Cameron placed her little son in the buck
ot. and telling him to put the body Of his
sister in it, and to get back into it himself
Is soon IS possible, she lowered him to
the bottom. He jumped from the bucket
and lifted the body Of the girl into It, and

An English View Of the Women's Pa
ViliOn.

The most attractive part of the Pavil-
ion is, however, that which contains spec
linens from the various American schools
of design, notably the wood carving from
the school at Cincinnati. The quantity of
really first-class work which it sends is as
tonishing when one considers that the
artists are many of them amateurs and
still quite young. 1t certainly opens a
field for womcn's work very different
from the "old starvation sewing" The
pupils excel in such decorative arts as
painting on china and slate, but their
forte seems to be wood-carving. One of
the best specimens is a bed carved by two
young ladies of seventeen and nineteen,
while the pillars and lace are done by one
of fourteen. The devices are all floral
and copied with minute fidelity and skill
from nature. Two ladies will make very
handsome sums by thus decorating, one
an organ, the other piano, which the
manufacturer, with we'll grounded faith
in their power of giving the instruments
an attractive appearance, had presented
them in hope of good advertisement
1t is very gratifying to be able to add that
a school which can turn out such artists
gives its instruction free to all.-Phtla-

How Jetties are Made.

The workmen employed by Capt. Eads
on the Mississippi River jetties live in
huts in q brake swamp, and every
rise of the tide covers the ground with
water. They also endure the bites Of the un-
usually big mosquitoes, and the proxlm-
ity of alligators. The streets of Port
Eads, as the village is called, ate planks
laid on posts. The jetties are built of
willow mating alternated by layers Of
stones. The willows are obtained on an
island near by, the supply being equal to
the immense demand. On the back of
the island is q sloping platform, upon
which mats are made BY laying the will
lows crosswise and lengthwife until the
mass is thirty inches thick. Strips of
wood firmly boltesf together hold the mat
together after it is pressed compactly.
Then 1t is launched toward the spot where
it is to be used, attached to guide posts
and piled with stones until 1t sinks. Each
mat is 100 feet long and from fifty to fif.
teen feet wide, according to the place it il
made to occupy in the tapering jetty. !

than clinging to the side of twas drawn q

powered him and he fell back to the bot
tom. Mrs. Cameron hurriedly drew up
the bucket containing the body of her
child, and placing the body in the yard,
told her mother.in-law that she
would have to go down into the
Kiln herself to rescue her son,
and that the old lady must han
die the windlass. The latter grasped the
crank, and Mrs. Cameron climbed into
the bucket. Her mother in-law lowered
her one or two turns of the crank, when
the weight became too much for her
strength, and the crank slipped from her
hands, striking her in the head as it
whirled round and knocking her senseless
to the ground. Mrs. Cameron was hurled
violently to the bottom of the kiln, and
was doubtless rendered unconscious be-
fore the poisonous gases affected her
The heat in the kiln was now becoming
intense, and but for the arrival of aid the
bodies of Mrs. Cameron and the boy
would in short time have been burned
up. The Pittsville stage came along by
the kiln not long after Mrs. Cameron was
precipitated into it, and John Kane, see-
ing the bodies of the little girl and old
Mrs. Cameron, the latter bleeding about
the head, lying on the ground, jumped
down to make an examination. He soon
discovered the bodies in the kiln, and
calling to gentleman who was passen-
ger in the stage, the two set about a res
cue. Kane climbed into the pit, down
the windlass- rope, and placing Mrs. Cam
eron and the boy in the bucket, it was
raised by his companion. So dense was
the poisonous gas and heat that when the
bucket was lowered for Kane he with
difficulty crawled into the bucket, and
when he was hauled to the top he was un-
conscious. The fresh air soon revived
him, but it was some time before he was
able to get upon his feet. Old Mrs. Cam
eron was restored to consciousness, but the
other three we're past all aid.
