Among the novelties in wooden fabrics

Among the novelties in wooden fabrics
are the camel's-hair chuddahs, costing
from 81 to 81 yard, and chuddah eff
fects are seen in many OF the other
fabrics in close imitation Of real India
chuddahs Some of the rew fine soft
woolens have watered strips in such
shades as blue roi, sapphire blue, begie
shades and more delicate cream color.
Beige de santh is fine fannel-fnished
material for travelling summer costumes,
of the same weight but nicer than bunt-
ing of single width; it costs sixty cents
yard. Bunt1ngs come again freshened
and finer than those OF last season, and
the always popular de beiges are shown
in soft fine qualities and pretty, delicate
shades for fifty cents yard.

Upon the sadness OF the sea
The sunset broods legretfully;
From the far lonely spaces slow
Withdraws the wistful afterglow.
So out of life the splendor dies;
So darken all the happy skies:
So gathers twilight, cold and stern,
But overhead the planets burn;
And up the east another day
Shall chase the bitter dark away;
What though our eyes with tears be wet,
The sunrise never failed us vet.
The blush of dawn may yet restore
Our light and hope and JOY once more,
Sad soul, take comfort. nor forget
That sunrise never failed us yet

THE SKELETONS.
One side showed the interior of vault
and the skeleton of a man just as it was
found. He had fed there for safety,
and by his side was the empty amphore
or wine jar, and the overturned dish that
held his food. Either he had perished by
starvation or had been suffocated by the
mephitic vapors that exhaled from the
volcano.
The larger portion of the population
escaped, and the number of the inhabit-
ants is variously estimated at from 10000
to 10000; but from 1900 to 1900 are
supposed to have lost their lives. Many
were killed by falling walls. thrown by
the shock of the earthquake, and from
500 to 600 skeletons have been found In
that portion of TIE city that has been ex-

by the flood of volcanic mud it formed
around them plastic mould and hard

dust, leaving the shape Of the person in
the hardened mud. Into these openings,
when found, plaster Of Paris is poured
and an exact cast of the person is obtained.

HOME MADE FEETTLTZER.-Judge +.
F. Moore, one Of the most successful
farmers of our county, hands lis the fol-
lowing formula for composing home
made fertilizer, which, the Judge claims,
is rs good as any of the standard COM
mcrcial fertilizers in the market, and
cheap because it costs nothing except a
little labor.
The formula for one ton OF the fcrtli-
zcr is as follows One thousand pounds
of rich loan earth (procurcd from the
fence corners, or wash places, or surface
dirt from the woods, and fifteen bushels
of cotton seeds 4; put into the stables Of 4
horse or COW, cover with sufficient
amount Of leaves or straw to prevent the
stall from becoming muddy or dirty.
Let it be tramped twenty or thirty days,
when it may be put in pen and another
supply in the stable.
by this method, Judge Moore says
that ton of fertilizer for each horse or
COW can be made, equal to the best fer
tilizcr offered in the market, which is dis
tributed in the same way, and in the
same quantities as guano. All who
know Judge Moore, know that lie has
succeeded rs 4 farmer and lie is no cas-
tic builder. We hope our farmers will
give this manure fair test, and save
themselves the thousands of dollars paid
to fertilizer manufacturers - Ge":Ya

l am unable to perceive that the sec
ond petition affected in any degree the
action of the Commissioners, under any
contract entered into by them.
The petitioners might well have been
alarmed at the further prosecution of a
scheme of drainage, signalized in its ini-
tial stages by the explosion Of seventy
two barrels of gunpowder without any
beneficial result, and at Il cost of more
than two thousand dollars, which, accord
ing TO the testimony of the Supervising
Engineer, was at the rate Of one hundred
and forty-four dollars (?'1I4) an inch for
every inch that the River WIS lowered
between the two Shoals. All their hopes
of receiving any benefit from the plan of
drainage adopted had been "blown into
thin air." and it was their right and duty,
as an act of sclf-prcscrvation and for the
public good, to file thci: protest against
its further prosecution.
These four cases, it is stated by the
learned counsel for the plaintiffs, are ill.,
tended to test the questions involved,
there being twenty-five others of the
same class still awaiting determination.
l have given to them full and earnest
consideration, and have arrived at the
conclusion in the light of the law and the
evidence, that the property of the deten-
dants is not liable for any assessment im-
posed thereon to pay the costs of any
work done under the contract for drain
age entered into as alleged, by the Coun-
ty Commissioners of Anderson County,
acting as Commissioners of Health and
Drainage.
1t is therefore ordered, adiudgcd and
decrccd, that the appeal of the dcfcn-
dants, appellants herein, be sustained,
and the Judgment Of the said Board OF
County Commissioners, lcvying an ASSESS
ment upon their said several properties
for drainage, be, and the same is hereby,
reversed, and that the defendants, appel
lants and the respondents herein, do each
pay their own costs.

How TO INCREASE EGG PRopUCrs.-
If an increase Of eggs be desired in the
poultry yard, before large sums of money
are expended in the purchase of eyer
lasting layers, we would recommend the
system of keeping no hens after the first,
or at the most, their second year. Ear
ly pullets give the increase, and the only
wonder is that people persist as they do
in keeping up stock Of old hens, which
lay one day and stop three, instead
of laying three days and stopping
one. In some parts of England it
is the invariable rule to keep the pull
lets only one year. Feeding will do a
great dcal-a surprising work indeed
in the production of eggs; but not when
old hens are concerned; they may put
on lat, but they cannot put down eggs.
Tic tale is told, their work is over;
nothing remains TO be done with them
but 10 give them 4 smell of the kitchen
fire, and the sooner they get that the
better. OF course there are some old IA
voritcs whose lives ought to be spared rs
long as they can send forth their repre-
scntatives. Judicious mating, by which
we mean the advantage of a compara-
lively youthful cocktrcl, may be the
mcans of even exhibition poultry making
their appearance from the eggs Of the
good hen, and here we have the cXccp-
ton Of the rule upon which we insist.

of the Act that the Defendants were not
liable as petitioners, but Us jcRCGciu'icS.
The Commissioners have themselves us
serted this view by imposing the assess
mcnt also upon the property of persons
who were not petitioners. The liability
incurred must be measured b. the scale
of benefit received. This position is very
strongly reinforced by the decision of the
Supreme Court of Michigan, in the case
of Thomas ct al. VS.. Cain, reported in the
Law and Equity Reporter of March IS,
1877, and cited and ably commented on
by one of the learned counsel (James l..
Orr, Esq, on behalf Of the Defendants.
1t is further urged on behalf Of the
Commissioners, that the Defendants, by
their second petition, protesting against
the further progress of the work at
Majors Shoals, themselves prevented the
benefit that their property would have
received from the further prosecution of
the said work This statement docs not
appear to be warranted by the evidence.
In the record of the case, submitted by
the Plaintiffs, | find the following conf
munication, addressed TO the Chairman
of the Board of County Commissioners,
announcing the entire completion of the
work under the contract, the excavation
having previously been finished at the
lower Shoal. As shown by the date of this
communication, the work at the Shoals
was completed before the second petition
