persons in Worcester, Mass, were all
poisoned, on the 18th, by eating soup
made from thawed-out chicken and
one of them child died. Science
says that the freezing and thawing OF
any fowl impregnates it with poison

food, causing all who eat it to be sick,
even unto death IN some cases. There

A STIRRING APPEAL
OFTHE
JASPER MONUMENTAL ASSOCIATION
OF SAVANNAH, GA.

To Tishmen and the Friends of C'onsti-
tutionai Liberty An Association, under
the name of the "JAspER MONUMENTAL
ASSOCIATION" has been formed for the
pupose of erecting monument to the
memory of Sergeant Jasper.
1t will be remembered that on the 9th
day of October, 1879, Sergeant Jusper fell
in the attack on Savannah, and it is tho in
tention of this Association to lay the cor
ner stone Of the proposed monument on the
9th day Of October, 1879. No occasion
could be more appropriate than the centcn-
nial Of his death; no place more fitting than
that whereon he fell. While other Irish
men rose higher in the Colonial ranks, yet
none there was who more truly represented
Ireland in America than the brave and
modest William Jasper.
Born in Ireland, he emigrated to Amer
ica and settled in South Carolina. The
war Of the Revolution found him devoted
patriot, and on the 2Sth of juno, 1776, he
was engaged in the defense Of Fort Mou.
trie. His conspicuous gallantry in leaping
over the ramparts of the fort during the
hottest of the fight and fixing anew the flag
which had been shot from its staff, won for
him the admiration of his comrades, and
inspired the brave defenders of old Moul-
tric with loftier heroism.
For this act he was offered commission
by Governor Rutledge, who said to him /:
"You have won sword, sir, and you must
wear it." "Nay. sir" replied jasper, 81

Hay can only be cultivated as a specially
and cannot be proftably cultivated in con-
ncctiou with other crops.
The field pea is, indeed, the clover of
the South, and, think, is superior to clio.

and it will grow on all sorts of soil. 1t is

beautifying the farmhouse and grounds.
and nothing tends more TO make it attrac.

but more uncertain pursuits of life
MIR. Duncan concluded with an eloquent
pcroration on attachment to home, which
was rewarded with prolonged applause from
the large audience.
This subject was also opened for general
discussion, but no one else took part.
General Hagood then called for the res
olution which had been postponed from the
morning session and spoke in advocacy of
it.

Mr. Russell accepted the substitute.
Mr. Paul Fielder said he liked the idea
very much, and ifheshould bring anything

New CASTLE, Nov. IL, 1879.
Yesterday being the first day of the
NovelD ber term Of Court our city was
alive At al extra early hour, making
every preparation for the proper enter
tainment of the many who are compelled
to attend. About $50 O'Clock those frOm
parts not easily reaohed by railrOai put
in an appearance, driving one or two
horses, or mule, hitched to dear bOrhs,
suggies, and many an open dug-out. As
soon as the W wilmington train arrived
then came the crowd, aud our streets
we're filed to OVERLOOKING. AS time
wore on, and New Castles whiskey be-
gan 70 take effect, many people sought
the gutter, and "Fort Pyle" WAS the tinai
resting place for several. WIimingtOn's
police were on hand, aud seemed To have
u auieteniug effect upon the conduct Of
The many roughs who make 1t point Of
always attending Court, either as wit
nesses per force or Of their own choice.
When the time approached tor the
evening train going north, . motley
crowd started ous for the depot, aLd the
amount Of political talk showed that
Jersey lightning had struck in or about
our city.
The long looked for and much wanted
rain came last night, 6egl nning at IL 80,

ENORMOUS REVIVAL OF THE TRADE
THE NEW CUNARD STEAMER SAHARA
FOR THE AMERICAN SERVICE.
A correspondent writing to us from
Glasgow, October %, says 1.-THE ship
building trade on the Clyde has of late
taken q big leap. Orders for new
steamers and sailing vessels are coming
in from all quarters and prospects are
very bright indeed. The iron trade here
Is also in a very fiourishnG state" LoR-
don Truth says : -"There seems likely
to be plenty of work In hand on the
Clyde during the next few months, the
French Messageries M aritimes Company
havlhg ordered ten fast steamers for the
u4ail service and ordinary trade in the
Mediterranean, the cost Of building
which will be over $4,000, 900. Several
other heavy orders from various parts
have been contracted for by firms on
the Clyde within tho past fortnight"
The Cunard Company has just given an
oIder to Clyde shipbuilding firm for
the construction of q steamer for trans
atlantic service of great size and power.
Mr.. Burns writes to the London Times !,
-"Her size will be exceeded only by
that Of the Great Eastern, while the
speed will be greater than that of any
ocean steamer ahoat. This new vessel
will be OF ., 500 tons and 10, 900 horse
power, her dimensions being 800 feet in
length, 80 feet in breadth and Al feet In
depth, propelled by inverted direct-act-
ing compound engines, with three cyhn-
ders and seven oval tubular boilers, hav-
ing thirty-eight furnaces and 1000 feet
of effective fire CRATE surface. She will
have an extra promenade deck and will
practically be five decker, being fitted
FOR 450 rst class and 600 steerage passen-
gers, with accommodation for crew of
200 officers and men, Her cargo capaci-
ty will be equal to $500 tons, with LOO
tons of coal and 900 tons Of water bal
last, having double bottom on what is
called the Longitudinal and bracket sys-
tem.' This vessel has been designed to
meet the requirements of transatlantic
service. Among the Important matters
has been that of the employment Of steel
instead of iron. The name of the new
vessel is to be the Sahara, and she is to
be ready for sea in March, 1884,"
