Choral Drinking.

The drug called choral hydrate, dis
covered by the eminent German chemist,
Iiebreich, some years ago, and which
soon attained reputation as IA substitute
Tor opium in many cases especially in
delirium tremens, is rapidly becoming as
dangerous among victims Of excitant-
and stimulants as alcohol or opium itself
One person who became "chloral
drinker," m il is called, writes his ex-
perience to medical journal rs follows:
al am a man forty-six years of age,
and now sobered down and respectable !;
but have tried at one time and another
all the narcotics and stimulants known,
except hasheesh, which have never been
able TO obtain. In July, 1875, ] thought
choral hydrate might be something nice.
took thirty grains Of it in tumbler OF
water, which had a pleasing effect. l
then took thirty grains more, which
seemed TO take away my memory. ! fol-
lowed il up for two days, every little
while taxing thirty grains largely diluted
with water. During these two days !
swallowed three-fourths Of an ounce Of
choral hydrate. At last I could not
hold anything in my hands, which were
partially parslyzed. had TO be assisted
home, and went to bed and slept most of
the time for one day and two nights. l
then went about my business, but Of all
the sufferings ever endured think this
was the worst. ] was not free from pain
a moment for thirty dsys. The pain was
greatest in my knees and legs. ! would
go to bed at night, get In an easy position
and lie perfectly still, and not stir in the
least, and finally would go to sleep.
The first thing on awaking were those
dreadful palms. The sufierings resembled
those OF the opium. eater when deprived
of the drug. With one or two exceptions

during those two days. / think had a
narrow escape from death. / shall not

A Tennessee Colony.

The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph thus

We had the pleasure ON Monday of
meeting Mr.. ID. F. Ross, who, with two
wagons and splendid teams, and several

Tenn, to Levy county, Fla. The father
Of this gentleman, G. W. Ross, Esq, last
year purchased 10000 acres Of land on
the Sewanee river at 81 per acre, about
IS miles from Cedar Keys, settled farm
and planted out an orange grove. Some
dozen families have located on the
same purchase, and it is thought that
over 40 more will shortly follow. The
company of Ross & Co. have located a
town called Rossville, on the Sswsnee,
and design erecting steam saw.mills,
stores, ETC., at that point. Much Of
their land lie rich hammock, and q por.
ton very heavily timbered with pine.
Such colonists are worth having, and we
trust ere long the boundless pine forests
of Georgia may be bought up and uti-
lized in the same manner BY thousands
in the older and more densely.settled
portions OF One union, who desire cheap
homes and pfoftable employment. Mr..
Ross says stock in Tennessee rule very
low the present season. Fancy mules
may be bought at from $40 to $50 per
head, and really good horses at 500.

Rai.ime 0ood Dairy Cows.

Mr.. Van Duzen, a New York dsirymen
of experience and intelligence, says that
when he thought Of establishing herd OF
good dairy cows, he selected the calves
from his best mixers and raised them
with great care, but 70 often met with
disappointment that he changed his
tactics and procured an Ayrshire bull,
the calves from which nearly all proved
TO be good mixers He further remarks
What we want is TO decide first what
qualities are desired in the stock which
We are to keep, and then get thorough

A Great Manager.

We had been out to the graveyard to
bury Mrs. Pidgeon, and we were riding
home in the carriage with the bereased
widower While he mopped his eyes with
his handkerchief, he told US about her:
AIN one respect / never saw her equal.
She was manager. I've knowed that
woman that's lying out there in the tomb
to take an old pair of my trowsers and
cut them up for the boys. Shed make a
SPLENDID suit of clothes for beth of them
out OF them old pants, get out stuff
enough for coat for the baby and cap
for johnny, and have some left over for
rag-carpet, besides making hankerchieis
out of the pockets, and hustle for her
self out of the other Innings.
Give her any old garment, and it was
as good as a gold mine. Why, she'd take
a WORKOUT sock and make brand-new
overcoat out of it, believe. She had a
turn for that kind of economy. There's
one of nv shirts that ! bought in 1S47

winder- curtains, and pantale-s, and plen-
ty of other things Only last July, our
gridiron gave out, and she took it apart,
and in two hours it was rugged on the
Idle of the house as a splendid lightning
rod, all except what she made into a
poker and an ice-pick. Ingenious
WHY, she kept our family in buttons and
Whistles out of the ham-bones she saved
and she made fifteen princely chicken
coops from her old hOop-skirts, and pig
pen out of her used-up corset-bones.
She never wasted solitary thing. Let
cat die around our house, and the first
thing you knew Mary Jane d have a
muff and set of furs, and I'd begin to
find mince pies on the dinner-table.
She'd stuff feather led with the feath-
ers she'd get off one little bit of a rooster,
and she'd even utilize the reaches in the
kitchen SOS they'd run the churn-had a
machine invented for the purpose. I've

low there, helping to shove up the cab
