Raise Namles.

One branch of live stock breeding is
neglected by the Cotton States, which is
of immense Importance and which Is
available to To the average farmer. We
refer to raising mules. If the cotton
crop was decreased half, and good,
heavy, able-bodied mares exchanged for
the present mules or horse teams, and
bred to large or medium-sized jacks, the
profits of our farmers would be much
greater than now.
1t is burning shame that We Southern
people are SO utterly ignorant of our
interest, as to continue purchasing our
work teams from States SO inferior to
our own section for the breeding Of such
stock. Win we never learn that it is
our true interest to raise everything
needed in the way of farm stock and pro-
visions, when it can be done so much
cheaper than our Northern neighbors
can afford to do so for US.
Now is the time to practice the most
rigid economy, and we should cease to
become the slaves of a people, who agri-
culturaIly possess a country far inferior
to our own in point of soil and climate.
we are glad to note that the importation
of fne Jacks int the South is becoming
az more frequent occurrence, and cher.
ish the hope that those who have intro
dueed them may not lack for want OF
PATRONAGE. Southern Live Stock Jour-

Fastened 10 a Railroad Track

None of US can know how we would
act in a supreme moment of revealed
fate. Edgar Poe or Victor Hugo could
not have imagined form of death more
completely calculated to test the victim 5
fortitude than the terrible scene which
terminated the lite of one John Conlan,
at Norwich, last Friday night. Conlan,
who was pistol maker in that city, was
walking on the railway track at Norwich
Falls, at point where there is a double
switch, aud accidentally had one foot
caught in frog" in such a way that
he was unable to extricate it. A north
ern bound train was coming at full speed,
and Conlan finding himself unable to
escape his doom, half turned in his
chained position. and faced the engine
literally the engine of DEATH in def
ant way, and almost smiled as it struck
him. His body was frightfully mangled
almost literally torn to pieces under
the remorseless wheels-and when picked
up it presented a horrible sight A part
Of his clothing, in which was his reyol-
yer, was torn from him by the engine and
carried to Williamantic before it was
discovered. Hartford Times.

SUGAR MAKING BY MIR. c. MENELAs--A
MODEL FARM.

MODEL FARM.
Monday last, upon invitation of Mr.. e..
Menelas, several ladies and gentlemen
visited his place to witness the~process of
sugar making by his new centrifugal.
The machine produced from black, tarry
like Jumps, splendid article of brown
sugar, such as now sells in the market
for bit a pound. All who witnessed
the operation were deligh ted and watch
ed it with interest.
Mr. Menelas, assisted by Col. Dan1
bennett. made one or two previous efforts
to make sugar, but was not successful,
because he had used the common sor
ghum cane Since the frost, he cut his
Louisiana cane, ground it and boiled the
Juice up to 235 degrees, then ran it in
tubs where il Immediately crystali?ed
into dark sugar. The centritugal-which
IL nothing more than machine to clarity
the sugar by separating it from the mo-
Iasses- was then brought in use, and
aud the experiment proved entirely sue
cessful. Since then Mr.. NJ. has made
many barrels of excellent sugar. He has
grown three varieties of cane on his farm,
the Go0seneck, Honduras and Louisiana,
and has made splendid molasses from
each, and sugar from the last named.
Sugar making is new industry in
Mississippi, aud now that Mr.. Menelas
has shown that it can be made success
full, we hope that other Of our planting
friends will give it attention. Next year
SIR NJ. will be prepared to make sugar
on toll for all who take him louisiana
syrup
4 visitor to "Bachelor's Hail." the
name Mr. Menelas has given his home, is
struck with the thrifty appearance of
the place. A little of everything that
the soil will produce, is grown. and stock
OF kinds is raised. Those of our farm
ing friends who adhere to the old method
of planting cotton almost TO the exclu
sion of everything else, would learn
valuable lesson by visiting Mr.. Menelas'
farm in harvest time 1t Is good place,
well cultivated. and will yield its owner a
handsome dividend yearly. Brookhaven

DESCRIPTION

! From the London SPECTATOR
The bishop of Manchester, in preach
ing at Oswestry last Sunday on behalf
of a cottage hos pital, drew very strikin 2
picture of the organized frivolity of
both the fashionable world and the leis-
ure days of large part of the operative
world. He read the letter Of a young
| lady giving him this account of her day,
and asking him where there was any
time in it for Christian work: "W e
breakfast about 10. Breakfast occupies
the best part of an hour, during which
we read our letters and pick up the latest
news in the papers. After that we have
to go and answer our letters, and nv
mother expects me to write her notes of
invitation, or to reply to such. Then
have to go into the conservatory and
feed the canaries and parrots, and cut off
the dead leaves and faded flowers from
the plants. Then it is time to dress for
unch, and at 2 we lunch. AT my
mother likes me to go with her when she
makes her calls, and then we come home
to a o'clock tea, when some friends drop
in. After that We get ready to take our
drive in the park, and then we go home
to dinner, and after dinner we go to the
theatre or the opera, and then when we
get home | am so dreadfully tired that |
don't know what to do" If that is the
usual life of fashionable women, they
certainly have reason to say, with the
late Sir Cromwell Lewis, that life would
be very tolerable but for its amusements.
Quite apart from the moral dissipation
of such life-and dissipation is the es-
sence of tit must be frightfully weari-
some, more wearisome even than the
workingman's who lies in bed half Sun
day and drinks all Monday. but really
exerts his whole power for four or FIVE
days in the week. 1t seems strange that
London mothers do not make room for a
little infusion of nobler work for their
daughters, if it were only f the mental
and moral stimulus which such work
would give to their characters, and the
new expression it would add to their
countenances. There is nothing more
unlovely than ennui.

THE COTTON BALES AND ''BEAUTY AND
BOOTY" STORIES.


BOOTY" STORIES.
The Rev Z. A. Renout contributes to
the New York Observer a sketch of a
visit to Gen. Andrew jackson at 1.-The
Hermitage" near Nashville, Tenn, in
1913. OF incidents connected with the
battle of New Orleans, he relates the
following
Il asked the General to what extent
bales of cotton had been employed in
his field breastworks. He replied that
this little incident had been absurdly ex-
aggerated When the British were
about to advance upon the American
lines, the works were not quite compile
ted, and there was a gap Of only few
yards. The materials most ready at
hand were naturally employed to close it,
and these proved to be few cotton
bales which were hastily covered with
earth. OF course, if there had been
time to complete the ditch, such materials
would not have been employed.
While speaking of the events Of this
celebrated battle, | observed that |
should like to know the truth about that
notorious watchword of the British
ARMY Beauty and Bodybuilding that
had never believed in its existence.
The General, looking grave, replied: 1t
is true; such was the watchwOrd.' That
you believe it to be so, sir, [ replied, Il
have no doubt; but in matter of some
historical Importance, you will pardon
me if | ask for proofs Certainly, sir,
he replied. L saw it in the British or
DERBY book which fell into our hands af-
ter the battle As | had read of Wei
lington's strict discipline in Spain and
Portugal, L asked; May it not have
been possible that this was inserted by
some subordinate officer without the
knowledge of the commandment chief?
Gen. jackson answered very deliberately
that in all the civilized armies the inva-
riable practice was that the officer in the
field, the highest in command, should
give the watcbword Should II subordi-
nate officer usurp this duty he would in
cur the risk of being shot This was
conclusive and the subject was not pur-
sued further. After the battle, the Gen
eral said that by flag Of truce he re
turned the watches, purses, swords and
other personal effects of the British off
GERS who had fallen. That such a
watchword as the above should have
been issued can only be explained by the
shame and indignation felt by General
Pakenham at having been so completely
out-generaled by Jackson's diplomacy"
