NO KANsAs FoR HIM.

The Tuscaloosa tAls.) Gazette
has interviewed Uncle Primus
Lemons, an old colored farmer il
Pickens county. When the var be-
gan be was the slave of DIR. T.
Adams, of Sumter county, Ala, and
was favorite family servant. The
Doctors sons went into the Confed
crate ranks, and Primua went with
them. They served Under Pillow,
Price, Pemberton, Cheatbam and
were in the last fight under Joe
Johnston in North Carolina. Pri'
mus was there with his young mas
ter and the rest of the ragged boys
in gray. The interviewer says
With them he turned bis face and
feet homeward, and after many
weary days ne reached the old
home, and had joyful and also a
sad meeting with DR.. Adams and
his family, who were very kind TO
him. During 1865 he tried ped
ding chickens, bat found it a SLOW
way to make money. DR.. Adams
gave him what land he could justly
work in 1866. Having saved by
trading in the army as much as
STA in good money ibis wife bav-
ing saved 500 he brought him
pony and hired blind horse
With his wife and little ten year
old boy went to work, and that year
Melted S5l4. He then rented land,
bought him team and a wagon,
hired a hand or two, and next year
cleared 81 $50. The next year he
cleared 50, 500, when Mr.. Samuel
sold him a farm for $5,000--Mr.
Ben Hughes and Col. Stone going
on his paper. He adopted the cash
system as near as possible. lie
bought a pound of sugar and a gal
lon of molasses as he could pay for
it, He hired working hands and
worked himself, and his family
worked, and to~day is one among
the most reliable and Independent
men in Pickens county, and every
way respected and esteemed by all
His farm is about three miles from
Vienna on the west side of the Big
bee, and is worth all that is on it
implem ents, teams, provisions, crops,
cabins, etc not less than $4,000.
Besides cotton, he makes an abun~
dance of corn, raises meat and
stock. His farm is in splendid re
pair and in a high state OF cultlva>
lion. He has two sons and daugh-
ters; one son living near him-an
Industrious, prosperous man, with
260 acres Of good land paid for and
well stocked. One of his sons in
attending the theological depart
ment Of the Normal School at MariN
on-where one of his daughters at
tended one year. The old man,
now near 60, is hale and hearty,
is Baptist preacher, and is strong
Iy tempted to place himself in the
Institute for Training Colored Min
listers in this city, but fears be is
now too old. He said that he felt
that if his people had an educated
ministry that it would greatly i'm
prove and elevate them.

Nor Coon Luck. The Rural
Work says, it is not good luck that
makes good crops, bat it is good
work. Some farmers always have
good crops, good stock, and get
good prices It is because whatever
they put their hands to, they dc
well. They have clean fields, good
fences and DO good blowing, culti'
waiting and seeding They farm
with brains as well as hands. II
other farmers would initiate their
example, they would have better
crops. Success does not depend SC
much upon good luck as it does up
On good work.

CHARMING BIRDS.
The Wonderful Magnetic Power of Little West
ern Girl

We learn from a correspondent that there re
sides IN the vicinity of Harrisburg, an outof-
the-way place in Hancock county, about three
miles west of Mount Blanchard, very re-
markabIc child only five years old, who seems
to have the power of charming birds at will
| Her mother first noticed this strange iascna
ton that the child possesses about year ago
The little girl was out playing in the door
ward among IA bevy of snOw-birds, and when
She would speak to them they would come and
| light upon her, twlttcring with the utmost
glee. On taking them in her hands and strok-
ing them the birds instead OF trying to get
away from their fair captive, seemed to be
highly pleased, and when let loose would fly
away short distance and Immediately return
to the child again. She then took several of
them into the house to show her mother who,
thinking that she might hurt them, took the
birds and put them outdoors, but no sooner
was the door opened when the birds flew into
the room and lit upon the girls head and be
gan to chirp. The birds remained abont the
premises all winter, flying to the little girl
whenever the door was opened. The parents
of this remarkable child became alarmed be-
leving that the strange power was an i'll omen,
and that that muChdreaded visitor, death. was
about to visit their home. But death did not
come, and during last summer the child had
numerous pets from the birds. She handles
the birds so gently that humming bird, once
in her hand, does not fail to return. This win.
ter bevy of birds have kept her company,
and she plays with them for hours at time.
Every morning the birds fly TO her window,
and leave only when the sun sinks III the west,
There Is nothing peculiar about the chiid's
personal appearance except her wonderful
magnetic eyes, which sparkle like diamonds.
The parents of this little girl are poor super
sttious people and have been reticent about
The matter until lately, fearing that some great
calamity was about to betall them-forea

Less than dozen years ago a somewhat
aged man andh young wife came to Augusta.
In the course of time they bought and paid dfor
farm, but that they were able to do this, was, in
great part, due to the hard work and energy
of the wife, Some months ago the husband
died, and then u brother of his seems to have
entertained an idea that portion Of the
worldly store of the deceased man belonged
or might belong to him. Coming to the
widow he informed her that her husband had
another wife living, and that unless he was
givena certain sum the other wife woulde enter
forthe property and perhaps obtain the whole
of it. The widow at first promised to divide,
but on further consideration thought better.
1t was not many days after that the second
wife was surprised by visit from an old lady
who showed certificate of marriage, thus
showing that both had acknowledged the same
husband. But the new wife was not willing
to divide with the old one, the lands left
by the common husband, and the old
lady went to the lawyers. But it is
understood that they advised that none of the
property could be obtained from the lastwifc.

CONVENTION.
State Ticket and Resolutions.

New ORLEANS, October 81. The following
is the remainder of the State ticket nominat-
ed:
Lieut.. Gov.-James NJ. Gellespee, Tensas.
Attorney General-Judge Danl. A. Pardee.
Auditor-Hen. Claudius Mayo, st. Lau-
dry.
Supt. of Public Education-Dr. NJ. Il.
Bonzan0, st. Bernard.
Secretary of State-James Kennedy, Or
leans, colored.
The resolutions solemnly and earnestly but
respectfully protest in the name of Louisiana,
against the contemplated unseating of Sena-
tor Kellogg, as a grave violation of princi-
ple and as proceeding likely to be produc-
tive of the most mischievous consequence
hereafter; allude to republican victories in
Maine, California, Colorado, Ohio and Iowa,
as assuring success in 1880 thank Hon. John
Sherman for his great services in assisting
resumption thank President Hayes for his
acts and his fidelity to his party, which paved
the way to the late splendid republican vic
tories.
The platform declares that the government
is national in its character; no government
by the people can exist where the ballot is
not free; favors protective tariff; fav0rs im
provement on the Mississippi river by the
national government, and the encouragement
of American shipping by subsidies; favors
a canal across Darien, the American gov
ernment to the predominating interest there
in favOrs the payment of the State debt in
consolidated bonds; declares if colored peo-
pie are not accorded free and fair elections
they should emigrate.
A resolution declaring Grant the unatera-
BILE choice for President was adopted
