CnorNrs ON THE scArFoID. Sim
Sultel, q negro wife murderer, was exc
cuted Of Hickory, Mississippi, on Friday
last On the preceding Wednesday he
was taken by the sherifl' from the prison
where he had been confined TO the Jail at
the place Of execution, and on the way
there and whilst on the cars expressed his
willingness to die, and also his anxiety to
alone for his crime with his life. Alter
leaving the train he questioned the sher.
III closely as 10 whether the scafiold was
built, and OF what material II was con.
struCted. On being informed that II was
made Of pine, he seemed displeased, re.
marking that as the expense had to
be borne by the State a more respectable
structure ought 10 have been erected. On
the morning Of the execution he made q
hearty breakfast, but declined ap offer OF
whisky. He was particular in his inqui.
ries a. TO the rope to be used, directed
the sheriff to give him drop Of exactly
four and one.half. feet, and on being
shown bis coffin grnmbled at its plainness
and stated that he would have preferred
to have spent some Of his own money in
order 10 secure n better one. On the
sCRiIold he showed the same wonderful
composure, declining all offers OF religi.
Gus ministrationB firmly, but not rudeiy.
He addressed the immense throAg Of spec.
tators in clear voice, and rebuked the
colored portions OF the crowd for breaking
out in their peculiar religious cries. He
assisted the sheriff to adjust the rope, and
begged that the black cap should not be
put over his face, as he wanted no screen
between himself and death. His request
was granted, the drop fell and he died
quickly.

all who are troubled with the complaints
now very prevalent-hCadaChe, indigestion,
disOrderel liver, want Of appetite, nausea,
or feverish skin, to take, without delay,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills. We know Of
no remedy SO harmless and decisive in its
action. 1t at once strikes at the root OF
the disease and prOducesa healthy tone to
the system. People never need suffer from
any disease arising from disordered con.
dition of the liver il they would take this
excellent medicine when they feel the first
indications Of the mGlady. Families lenv.
ing home for the summer months should
take three or four boxes Of these pills with
them. They have m almost instantaneous
effect. They will relieve the patient of
headache in one or two hours, and will
rapidly cleanse the liver Of surrounding
bile, and will et1ectuNlly prevent bilious
attack. They are sold by all druggists.

FEARFUL RE1RIDurroN.- The Kent
NcS says that on Saturday Of last week a
terrible retribution beiel tramp near
sMsairas, in Kent county. On reaching
the house Of Mr.. John Gibson, situated
near the roadside, he found Mrs. Gibson
reclining at a window fronting on the
road. II was about noon; she had pre-.
pared dinner for her husband, who was at
work in the field, and was awaiting his
arrival. The stranger sccosted her, and
said he was coming into the house. She
demonstrated, and told him there was
bad dog in the hall that would certainly
bite him II he effected an entrance. He
persisted, however, and, oh entering, at
tempted TO commit mn outrage upon the
person Of the lady. The dog rushed
into the room about this time and made
savage attack upon the tramp, inAicting
terrible and circulating wound in an
unfortunate locality, manning him for
life. The stranger then made his exit
from the house, and when last seen by
our informant he was lying beside the
roadside near Sassafras suffering excru.
tiating pain.

Toned roof piazza is fast giving place,
except in houses for summer use only, to
the uncovered terrace. This latter can
be sheltered by Italian awnings from the
rays Of the MONDAY sun, or from the
evening dews, or it can be provided with
a light wooden framework TO support a
canvas cover that can be easily rolled
back, like the awning over a city shop
front. Ga the score OF expense, these
useful devices are much more economical
than the universal blinds. The first cost
OF the latter, with the additional outlays
Tor periodical painting and repairing,
will far exceed that Of their substitutes.

Light PuidiRg.-One quart Of milk
three eggs, six tablespoonlulso Of -four and
n little salt. Bakeln u quick oven. Eat
with n sauce.
Putting cream on onions instead Of but.
ter removes much Of the strong flavor and
renders them less likely to affect weak
stomachs unpleasantly.
Pain Cup Cdke.-One.half cuptul milk,
one teaspoOnful cream tartar, half tea.
spoonful soda, two tablespoonIuls butter,
two eggs, one cupful sugar.
Cheap Cake.-One cupful sugar, half
cupiul butter, half cupfuI milk, Two eggs,
one teaspoonful cream tartar, half tea.
spoonful soda; give It good beating and
bake in quick oven.
Always remember that in cooking rice,
atmeal, wheat or any OF the other
grains, salt boiling water should be used.
BY this means the kernels remain whole
and the flavor is much improved.
It's supposed by many that earthen,
ware ia better and cooler for butter in
summer than wooden vessels. This Is a
mistake, Etrlhenware ia too great Il
conductor Of heat Tor butter. Hence all
butter diaries adopt the wooden vessels.
Many persons who are obliged to keen
their hands Tor u long time daily in warm
water suffer from their chapping OF
swelling. A few drops OF glycerine will

ly restore the skin to its normal state.
A piece Of red pepper the size Of your
finger nail put into meat or vegetables
when frat beginning to cook, aids greatly
in killing the unpleasant odor arising
therefrom. Remember this for boiling

desert dish may be made Of mixed early
fruits, strawberries, white or red cur,
rants, gooscberries and cherries, all care
fully picked, placed in alternate layers
Strewed with sugar and piled up with

The art Of transplauting trees, shrubs,
and vines, is only learned by experience,
close observation, and a strict adherence
to the laws that govern vegetable growth.
Any unskilIed laborer can dig and reset
tree or vine; but this does not insure
life, health and vigor. There is we'll.
adjusted balance between the roots and
branches of every tree or vine. Trained
practical gardeners recognise this fact,
and the importance in transplanting OF
removing carefully all the roots possible,
and especially the fine, iibrous ones, such
as take up and furnish the nourishment
To save enough OF these roots in trans.
planting large.sized trees, it is necessary
To know the habits OF growth Of trees
and vines. For instance, the Scotch or
white pines with their long, Geshy roots,
and comparatively few fbrous ones near
the body Of the trees, need more care in
removing than the Norway spruce with
its mass u librous roots clustered around
and near the body. The best way in all
cases 10 to dig u narrow trench around
the body, some distance from the tree,
uCCp CHOuSN W bet bcluW tNG IOWcE TIER
Of roots. In making this circle the flat
OF the spade should not be faced toward
the body Of the tree. The top soil on the
"ball," near the body, should be removed
by digging fork or other implement
that will not cut or injure the small roots.
In case the trees or shrubs are 10 be
moved only short distance from where
they are growing, as much sOil MS will ad.
here TO the roots may be lei! on with adj.
vantage.
The second important point 10 be OBJ.
served in transplanting is not to leave the
roots exposed for n moment to the rays
OF the sun, or TO blowing dry mir, which
is quite as injurious to tender rootlets.
II not set out at once, the roots ought to
be kept damp and covered over with a
cloth, or "heeled in" Trees coming from
a distance, when the roots, show signs Of
being left exposed, and the tibres are dry
and somewhat shliveled, will be much
improved by pluusing them into n stream
or pool OF water and them heeling them
in, covering the roots carefully with
moist soil, and 80 leaving them until
ready to plant out.-ScribHer.
