TIE TORNADO.
Another feature is the tornado, which
comes almost every day during the rainy
season, from May to October. 1t rises
away up in the still mysterious interior
somewhere, and comes sweeping down,
sometimes hardly stronger than a good
land breeze, sometimes furiously, bring
ing driving rain with it. 1t generally
lasts from a quarter to half an hour, and
cools the atmosphere delightfully."-.
TWO BURIAIs.
| spoke in my last of the two deaths
which occurred aboard while at Sierra
Leone. The two bodies were taken
ashore and buried in consecrated ground,
being each accompanied by few friends.
1t seems the very essence of the Sarcasm
of fate" that these poor creatures should
have come thousands of miles to Africa
only to die in sight of its shores, and find
their graves in its longcd-fOr soil. The
lamp Of IN undertaken charged e5.12
(about $2S) for tho two burials, which
were as simple and plain as could be.
Neither of the families of the deceased
could raise the $l4 to pay their share,
and the captain was obliged to advance it.
VOTE OF THANKS.
We left Sierra Leone with some regret,
for we were treated with great kindness
and consideration by everybody, and had
enjoyed the abundance of fresh meats,
vegetables and fruits, and the walks
about the streets, always full of anima-
ton and hustle, intensely. Besides this,
we received there from everybody the
most discouraging reports of Nlonrovia.
| interviewed several eX-Liberians, and
received the most unfavoraDle accounts
of this country, in comparison with which
they seemed to regard Sierra Leone as an
earthly paradise. But we had to come,
and we came. cannot close without
again speaking of the kindness expe-
rienced from the Governor, and from Mr..
Broadhurst, the American representa-
tive, an Englishman. 1t was unrenlit-
ting, and displayed in thousand ways,
and everybody aboard the Azor has rea-
son to be extremely grateful to those gen.
tlemcn. When l have gotten my bear
ings here a little, | will write what l
know about Liberia.

The Habit of Reading.

II have no time to read," is the conf
mon complaint, and especially of wo-
men, whose occupations are such as to
prevent continuous book pcrusal. They
cannot devote as much attention to books
as they are compelled to devote TO their
avocations, that they cannot read any
thing. But thi; is a great mistake. 1t
isn't the books we finish at sitting,
which always do lis the most good.
Those we dcyour in odd moments, half
dozen pages ut time, often give lis more
satisfaction and are more thoroughly di-
gcsted than those we make a particular
effort to read. The men who have made
their mark in the world, have generally
been the men who have in boyhood
formed the habit Of reading Mt every
available moment, whether for five min
utes or five hours.
1t is the habit Of reading, rather than
the time ut our command, that helps lis
on the road to learning. Many Of the
most cultivated persons, whose names
have been famous as students, have given
only two or three hours to their books.
If we make Use Of spare minutes in the
midst of our work, and read little, if
but page or paragraph, We shall find
our brains quickened, and our toll light
cned by just so much increased sati$l;lc-
ton as the book gives us. Nothing helps
along the monotOnou> daily rounds 50
much rs fresh and striking thoughts, 10
be considered while our hands are busy.
4 new idea from 4 new volume is like
oil, which reduces the friction Of the ma
chincry Of life. What we remember Of
brief glimpscs into books, often serves As
4 stimulant to action, and becomes one
of the most precious deposits in the treas
ury Of our recollection. All knowledge
is made up Of small parts, which would
seem insignificant in themselves, but
which taken together, are valuable
weapons for the mind, and substantial
armor for the soul. The odd minutes
which We are inclined to waste. if care
f@lly husbandcd for instruction, will, in
the long run, make golden hours AMI
golden days, that we shall be ever thank
full ior.-DEI.TA, JOuruui and Farmer.

Management of Chickens.

Chickens require neither food or drink
on the day on which they are hatched.
Both are injurious, as they interfere with
the natural digestion Of the yolk, which
is absorbed into the bowels at the period
of Matching, and constitutes the first
food. If gifts, oat meal and the like are
spread before the hen on the lwenty-frst
day, she is induced to leave the nest,
the last-hatched chickens are unable to
follow, and being weakly, frequently per-
ish. If undisturbed, the hen seldom
leaves the nest OIL the tycnty-frst day,
while on the twenty-second day the
chickens will be found strong enough to
follow her. The plan of cramming pep
per corns or grains of barley down the
lhroats Of ly-hatched chickens is ex-
cecdingly injurious. The best food for
them is sweet, coarse oatmeal, mixed in
to crumbly paste with milk, and GER
tain proportion of custard made by beat
ing together an egg with two tablespoon
fuls of milk, and setting" it by gentle
heat. Custard 80 made is eaten with
avidity, and the chickens make rapid
progress upon it. Such preparation is
far superior to the hard-boiled eggs so
often employed and which is not relish
cd by the chickens. The young birds
are also very fond of little cold oat-
meal porridge; milk is frequently used
to mix the barley or oatmeal, but it
should be remembered that it soon be-
comes sour in summer, and is decided
ly injurious if employed in that state.
No more food, therefore, should be mix
ed with milk than can be eaten iu a few
hours. Sopped bread is by no means
desirable, since it does not appear to af-
ford the necessary resistance to the nat
ural grinding of the gizzard, and conse.
quently the chickens soon become
weakly and affected with diarrhea from
its use In order to satisfy the hunger
of the hen, which is usually very great
when shc leaves the nest, it is quite de-
sirable to give her Us much grain as she
can consume. Then, having satiatcd her
own appetite, and qucnchcd her thirst,
which at this time is considerable, she
will brood over her unaedged young and
keep them at rest whilst they are digest
ing the yelk that has been absorbed Just
before Matching. After the first few days
some whole grain. such as small tail
wheat, or sorle barley, may be given to
the young brood, and it will be found to
be greatly relished. and doubtless affords
wholesome exercise for the extraordi-
nary grinding power of the gizzard.
Chickens should either have constant
supply of food, or be fed at very short
intervals. The first food should be given
at daybreak. With regard to animal
food, there is none equal to the natural
supply Of worms and insects obtained by
the hen when she is at large small
worms or shovelful Of mold, contain
ing an ants nest, may be given if the
chickens are in confined situation, and
will be found far superior to boiled egg,
chopped meat, or any mere artificial sub
stitute. Cooping, which is frequently
employed to prevent the wanderings of
hens with chickens, is not desirable, and
though in many cases it is a necessary
evil, yet not the less an cyil.-.lmcrican
Cuhirdf0r.

fraud has been proved or attempted t.
be proved. do know that he who hold
a coupon bond, having about it all tn
semblance of a good and valid security
cannot be deprived of its benefit, by tht
bare, naked unsupported charge of fraud
and I also know that it was no defence
to this action to allege the institution O.
another court, for the trial of the issues
when it was not even pretended that the
Circuit Court was thereby deprived oi
jurisdiction. 1 know all this, and il
would be- matter Of astonishment to me
if should discove. that the ISTELLG-
GENcEE did not know it.
The ISTELLIGENCER seems to imagine
that l take the ground that these honds
should be paid and their coupons received
for taxes, without any Investigation, and
without regard to whether they be frau
dulent or not. Now wish it to be dis
distinctly understood that l assume no
such position. What 1 did say was that
these bondholders had perfect right to
institute these proceedings; that they
were proceedings which had been sane
toned by centuries of continued usage /;
that their conduct was not unpatriotic,
because the proceedings were instituted
when they had no other remedy, and
that having begun thence, they had a
right to continue them, when they found
the new remedy incapable of giving the
relief which they had been seeking. 1
am quite as much in favor Of an investi-
CATION of the bonds as the INTELLIGEN-
GER can possibly be, and the point I spe-
cially made, and again urge, is that the
investigation could have been had in the
Circuit Court, and that the bondholdcrs
were entirely willing that it should have
been had there. do not wish the State
to pay fraudulent bonds, but what l insist
on is that the bondholdcrs had 4 right to
resort to an old remedy which has served
in hundreds of emergencies of the same
nature as the present; and I protest with
earncstness against the creation of sem
timent in opposition to their right, and
which holds good citizens forth to the
community, as wanting in patriotism,
and as injuring the State. They injure
the State Gar more who advocate the crea-
ton of new tribunal, for the trial of
such cases. They declare to the world
that South Carolina has established
courts, and filled their benches, for tho
trial of controversies between her citizens
and that she will not submit to those
same courts, good enough for the citizens,
the adjudication of cases to which she
is party.
My letters upon this subject have been
wIitten solely with the desire to correct
an erroneous impression, and in no spirit
of purposelcss antagonism, and l shall
write no more.
Having full confidence in the impreg.
nable strength of my positions, l rest sa-
tisfied that the future history of these
bonds and of the State will be their most
complete justification.

he Extraordinary vigor of Il Dying Man.

Of John Randolph's eccentricity his
latest biographer, Mr.. Boudin, tells many
curious instances. One of these con-
Germs the visit made by Col. 7. S. Flour
ney and his father at Roanoke in the
year 1929, Col. Flourney being then a
lad. John Randolph's body servant
invited them into bed.chamber, where
they found the brilliant Virginian ap-
parently very i'll. He said, in response
to Mr.. Flourney's inquiries, "John, l am
dying; I shall not live through the
night" Col. Flourney adds: "NIy father
informed him that we were on our way
to Halifax court. He requested us to
say to the people on Monday, court day,
that he was no longer candidate for the
convention; that he did not expect TO
live through the night, certainly not till
the meeting Of the convention. lie soon
began to discuss the questions of reform
and the proposed changes in the consti-
tuition. Becoming excited, he seemed to
forget that he was dying man. In a
short time we were invited to tea, and
when we returned to his room we found
him again in dying condition. But,
as before, he soon began to discuss the
subject of the convention and becoming
more animated, he rose up in bed-my
father and myself being the only audi
tors-and delivered one OF the most
interesting speeches, in conversational
style, that it was ever my good fortune
to hear, occupying the time from $50
until midnight.
"The next morning, Immediately after
breakfast, Mr.. Randolph sent for us
again. We found him again in dying
condition. He stated to us that he was
satified that he would not live through
the day, and repeated his request that
my father would have it announced to
the people of Halifax that he declined
being a candidate for the convention.
Once more he became animated while
discussing the convention, and kept us
till 10 o'clock at his house. When we
were about to start he took n solemn
leave of US, saying: In all probability
you will never see me again Before we

CHARLESTON's TRADE WITH AFRICA.
1t gives lis great pleasure to announce
the gratifying fact that, rs one of the re-
suits of the Azor's cventful trip, an order
has been received by |. II. Hall & Co., of
Charleston, for lumber, S;shcS, doors,
blinds, nails, and other material for the
erection of number of houses at Mon
rovia. This order WAS secured for
Charleston by our special corrcspon-
dent, Mr.. \. Il. Williams, who certainly
lost no time in making known the al
vantagcs Of this city Us the shipping port
for African trade.
Such material As is now to be sent out
to Monrovia has hitherto been bought in
England, and there is no doubt that
Charleston can supply it more cheaply,
while the cost of shipment will be less.
Mcssrs. Hall Il Co. have engaged freight
room on the .Azor, which vessel, accord
ing to the calculation of the Exodus .isso-
citation, may cross the bar any day, As she
was ordered TO remain no longer than
fifteen days ut Monrovia. There is no
reason why the Charleston merchants
and manufacturers should not send out
an assortment Of samples by the Azor,
and in this WAY secure Il ioothold in n
new field. II the action of the Ncms anil
C"nrir, in sending Mr.. Williams to
Liberia, shall cause the enigrants. in fn-
turc, to be properly cared lnr, and shall,
in addition, give to Charleston the import
and export Of the "BlacI Republic"
the work of the Meas and f6mticr will
have been richer in substantial advanta-
yes than we could have venturcd 10 hope.
