1.-The Bloody Ground on TuIe River
From the Visalia Delta. /

That section of the TuIe river
country where Byrd and Niles
were killed is the home of several
families, some of the members of
which have from time to time
been charged with many crimes.
The homes of many settlers lie
oack from the road aud are gener-
ally low, one story houses, with
Two or three rooms, approached by
roads that seemingly to the stran-
ger run In all directions. About
most Of the homes there are no
fences, no orchards and no gar
dens. Hog raising seems to be the
principal industry and the farming
| 8 of the most shiftless kind. The
ground is apparently the richest in
the country. Nettles, willows,
yellow-top, sunflowers, cheat and
other weeds cover the ground in
many places and hide the cows
and horses that feed among them.
The trees are mainly oak, cotton
wood and willow, and wild game
abounds In the neighborhood.
Society is such that there Is little
encouragement to enterprise. The
sale of the Murphy tract, which
lies just above "the bloody
ground" and its division into small
holdings, would quickly reverse
the order of -hings. No matter
how q man appears to the outsider,
he is never without first-class arms
and plenty of ammunition. But
amOnp thasa neOpla ara MANY in.
dustrious and peaceable families.
1t is thought from reports that
reach us, that the peaceable citi-
zens OF that atcommunity are quietly
preparing to hold the murderous
aud lawless in check, by force if
necessary. The Courts have been
found insufficient to protect life
and punish murderers, and we sh all
not be surprised to hear of some
movement toward commanding
the peace or driving out the dis.
turbing element.

OF A COUN.
TESS,

No other city except Rome gives
itself up so completely to the in
toxicatlng pleasures and excuses of
the carnival season as does Madrid.
During this annual period the peo-
pie resign all labor and devote them
selves Systematically to the great
est freedom, often over-stepping
the bounds Of propriety, and
becoming forgetful of self-res-
pect. But the carnival period
is accepted as being sufficient
excuse for nearly any imprudence
short of murder.
1t is to give the reader a picture
Of an occurrence at Madrid during
the carnival that we have taken up
u pen. The circumstance which
We shall relate transpired but a few
years ago. 1t never became very
public, but was whispered about
among the courts of Europe, and
we believe finally got into the news
papers of London and Paris.
AS we have said, it was during
the carnival season and one Of the
most distinguished ladies Of the
court gave a masked ball, to which
all the privileged class of citizens
and people of rank, including the
several embassies. were invited.
The S~paniards are p~roverbially hos
pitable, and on such occasions each
member of the embassies is permit
ted to invite any of his countrymen
who may chance to be in the city.
Our fellow countryman, Bayard
Taylor, one of the most extensive
travellers of the day, CHANGED at the
time to be in Madrid, and, as was
customary, received an invitation
to the masked ball to which we re-
fer. 1t h as beenmore than limited,
also, that through Mr.. Tay-
lor that it was the facts of the fol-
lowing romantic story got first
whispered about. But certain it is
that Mr.. Taylor, or any member of
the American embassy, can verify
the facts.
ocllcidl hIlett DIS us we'll KNOW II
in Madrid a few years since as the
Duke of Wellington was in London.
The occasion of the masked ball
referred to was of marked display.
Even royalty was present in dis
gulse, though that vas nothing re-
markable, the queen having long
before sacrificed the respect of her
subjects by liasons SO public and SO
brazen as to be disgusting. We
speak of the mother of the present
youthful king. The ball was long
after remembered as the most SPLEEN
did social affair which had occurred
in the Castilian capital for many a
long year.
General Arieta had partaken
rather freely of champagne, but not
enough to more than stimulate him
to concert pitch; he was a too old a
campaigner to get under stimulus.

Farmers Wives.

No talk with the wives and
daughters 0f North Carolina farm
ers that begins with. or proceeds
upon the suggestion that they shall
spend less money on themselves,
and take less thought for their dress
and general appearance, need ex-
pcct to receive any attention, OF pro-
duce the slightest effect. Sins in
the matters Of polnt-lace and dia-
monds are not their sins at all. 1t
is at the other end Of the line that
they fail. They give far too little
time and thought to themselves, to
their own comforts, convenience,
pleasures and appearance. The
admonition (if any should take this
form: My dear good woman why do
you habitually oycr-work Yourself,
habituallv underdrcss Yourself,
habitually deny yourself the relax
atoms and comforts which YOUR
health, bodily and mental, re-

firmly believed whom / joined
the Grange some four years ago
that ~ Of its objects was to in
auguratc more sociability in our
farming communitics-and that
country society and village society
were also to he brought closer to-
gether. We were to meet more
frequently, 10 take an interest in
each others work and welfare, and
TO learn to live Il more genial and
generous life. If we found out
from such association how to dress
more tastefully as well as how to
make better bread and butter. all
the better for Us. Interchange of
ideas Is what We most need. To
run III the same old ruts from year
10 year kills body and mind. To
be thinking the same thoughts, to
be doing the same work in the same
old way, to be harrassed by the
same cares, and be fighting the
same anNieties, with n prospect Of
anything different, no hope of a
better outlook in future, no care
for anything beyond the one sad
dencd dull round of daily drudge
~, these things age prematurely,
and dig untimely graves for men
and women.
Work for the wives of men in or
binary circumstances is monotonous
enough at best. Every day, we all
know, there must be certain repe-
tltions of yesterdays work, done at
the same hour, and in the same
way, in every we'll ordered house
hold. Every day there is the same
round of bed making, and sweeping
and busting. Every day the table
is to be set for meals and cleared
OIL. Every day the outdoor duties
must be regularly attended to :
over and over it comes, and when
all is done it is but the frame work
