So far as We have been able to
ascertain, those in this section who
have experimental with Meadow
Fescue grass are much pleased
with it. Even though seeded last
spring, it resisted successfully our
summers sun, and is furnishing
the best Of grazing all winter. Ii
is perennial grass and is now
being extensively grown in North
ern Kentucky. During summer,
i'll protracted drouths, we are as
sured that it furnishes far more
grazing than Blue Grass. AS a
field crop, in portions of Kentucky
where it is cultivated for the seed,
it is considered much more profit
able than wheat--yielding usually
from fifteen to twenty five bushels
Of seed to the acre, which ordina-
rily finds a ready market at s.
per bushel. 1t is more easily
threshcd than oats. The roots are
represented as penetrating twelve
or thirteen inches into the soil
hence its power of resisting both
the drouths of summer and the
freezes of winter. 1t is not only
one of the very best of grazing
grasses, but its friends claim that
it is an excellent fertilizer will
grow on poor lands, and is excel
lent for filling gullies.- Spectator

Colonel A. ID. Sheldon's orange
grove, at the mouth of Fort Bayou,
two miles from our depot, is look
ing in very fine condition, trees
growing, and in few years he
will have a large increase. 1t is
worth a trip from New York or
any of the large cities to Ocean
Springs just to ride down the lake
or bay shore to see Col. Sheldon's
beautiful grove of oranges, house
and improvements. Next to Col.
Shcldon's $ is w. r. Stuart's orange
grove. For water protection, he
and Sheldon haze the best from
Mobile to New Orleans; but Col.
Stuart has the ''pure Merino
sheep" fever now so high that his
grove is neglected and he wishes
to sell it. He says pure Merino
bucks will sell, wool also, when
oranges will not.-Ocean Springs,

The learned professions are full.
What we want is education to the
industries. In other words in the
application of scientific facts to eve
ry day life. Industrial education is
not myth. Its labor is honorable
in whatever direction it may be en-
ployed. Many of the drones of to-
day are those who with collegiate
educations are not able to earn their
bread, and for the reason that there
is no labor without the sOiling of
hands. Yet our colleges are yearly
turning out hundreds of this class,
many Of whom go to swell the great
army of trampS.-Prairie Farmer.

Large boned animals are apt to be
weak, and with small muscular de-
velOpment, generally from imperfec7
ton in the digestive organs. If the
defect is constitutional, this is inten-
sified. On the contrary animals
firm, hard bones, usually show large
muscular development and here
again this is intensified by heredita-
ry transmission. In this the male is
held to be prepotent, and hence the
necessity that the sire at least be fine
and come of such families. The
male should have largGdevelOpment
of lung power, and gd0d digestion,
especially. The female good lungs
and rOomy in the barrel. When
both sire and dam are good the

The Texas papers admit that the
rush Of immigrants to their State
is over, and say they are not sor
ry. The glowing pictures drawn
by railroad agents Of the certain
wealth that awaited every conner
attracted thousands of shiftless
people, who, of course, have found
that it was necessary to work for q
living in Texas as well as IN other
parts of the country. Even the
railroad companies now see that
emmigrants of this sort are worse
than useless, and there is a gener-
al disposition to stick a little more
closely to the facts in immigration
circulars and get better people, if
fewer of them.-Ex.

Inconsistency Of His Speech with His War Rec
ord Pointed Out.

ord Pointed Out.
The grandeur of Logans loyalty Is dimmed a
little by the following conversation which occur
red between correspondent and Congressman
Lowe of Alabama, a Greenback Representative
from the Huntsville district:
COrrespondent-Are you sure, Colonel Lowe,
that Senator Logan ever contemplated entering
the Confederate service2
Colonel Lowell am sure that there were three
regiments of Illinois men in the Confederate ser.
vice; that knew and often conversed with
many of them, and that without exception those
with whom talked on the subject assured me
that their regiments were raised by Logan for the
Confederate service,
Correspondeut-I have often heard the charge
made that Logan first planned to enter the Con.
federate service but have never before struck so
direct a proof of the truth of it,
Colonel Lowe-Why, 1t is so true that Logan
himself will not deny it. II asked to upon the
floor of the Senate, he will dodge the question.
True2 Why, 1 tell you have talked with men
whom knew, and who declared they were en-.
listed for the Confederate service by Logan.
Correspondence speech on Wednesday was
hardly consistent with his action then?
Colonel Lowe-0f course not. There was moth.
ing consistent about 1t. Why, he denounced
squatter Sovereignty Wednesday, and spoke Of it
as one of the great crimes of the Democracy, and
he himself was one of the. leaders Of that very
movement. He was Stephen A. Douglass's active
lieutenant in that fight
