Your paper is great comfort to
me; In every number | fled something
TO put away in mind and memory;
something that did not know before,
and which viii be Of advantage to me
in time TO come. If man can read
he can get good education by taking
one good paper; he can keep up with
the world. aud make himself an en-
tertaining member of society; be can
talk up a little on most any subject.
Book learning is very good thing,
but he never reads the papers, aud
be passes for fool in his neighbor-
hood. Some papers are not much ac-
count to appearances, but | never
took one that didn't pay me some way
agood deal more than paid forit. One
time an old friend started little pa
per away down In Southwest Georgia
and sent it to me, and j subscribed
just to encourage him, and so after a
while it published a notice that an
administrators had an order to sell sew
eral lots of lan | at public cutlery, and
one of the lots was in my county. So
enquired about the lot, and wrote
down TO my friend to attend the sales
and run it up to fifty dollars. He
did SO, and bid off the lot for me at
thirty dollars. and l sold it in month,
to man it joined, for a hundred dol
lars, and SO | made sixty eight dol
lars clear by taking that paper. My
father told me that when he was
young man he saw a notice in paper
that school teacher was wanted away
off in distant country, and he went
down there and got the situation and
little girl was sent to him, and af,
ter while she grew up mighty sweet
and pretty, and he fell in love with
her and married her. Now, if he
hadn't took that paper, what do you
recon would have become of me ?
Wouldn't | be some other fellow, or
may be not be at all?-Dirie Farmer.

Charcoal and Fruit.

We once had friend who planted
pear orchard on the site of an old
blacksmith shop, that had been work,
ed with charcoal. OF course this spot
comprised only portion of the or
chard. The trees growing on this
place, and even adjoining to it, were
astonishingly thrifty. They grew in
few years to three times the size Of
the Others, and they bore fruit several
years sooner, and the greatest differ
ence of all was in the size and flavor of
the pears. They were large, lucious
and perfect. While the others had
onlyssn occasioned clear red checked
pear, these were nearly all that sort.
This wonderful effect was due to the
intermixture of charcoal and mayhaps
to the iron that was in the cinders.
from this u may I've seen that half
bushel of the charcoal, fund around
old coal pits or about a blacksmith
shop, would be an excellent addition
to the filling ofthe hole when the fru t
trees are planted. In fact we believe
it would pay to buy charcoal and pull
verize it, if it can not be obtained in
any cheaper way. 1t would, of course,
apply to all fruits, but as fewer pears
are usually planted than other trees il
mightalways be obtained in sufficient
quantity forthat purpose Nashville

The Porte ManIiests Independ-
ence,

Pera, 15.-The Porte has informed the
ambassadors Of the powers that whatever
conclusions the Berlin conference may
arrive at, they cannot be obligatory upon
Turkey, rs the parties interested in the
matters 10 be discussed are to be
excluded from the deliberations Of the
conference. The identical note to the
Porte which was presented on Saturday
states that the powers recognize that it is
for the interest Of Europe that an end be
put TO the present difficulties and points
out that Lord Salisbury's communica-
tons in favor of the appointment of a
technical commission to fix the Turco-
Greek frontier remain unanswered by
the Porte. The conference at Berlin has
therefore been decided upon. The note
proceeds to call attention to the Monte
negrin and Armenian questions and con-
cludes by directing the attention of the
Porte to the gravity of the responsibility
it would assume in leaving the execution
Of the treaty Of Berlin any l0Hger in
suspense.
The Porte has forwarded its reply to
the identical note 10 each ambassador.
The Porte refuses to recognize the right
of the powers to arbitrarily dispose Of
any portion of Turkey in favor of Greece,
without consulting the Porte. The
msjority Of the ambassadors disapprove
the suggestion of Goschen, to sead
commission Of inquiry to Roumelia, as it
might interfere with the operations Of the
local commission on the spot.

names of the most prominent men in this
and other states. President Waite was
last heard from in Portland, Me-, where
he is supposed to have embarked for
Europe, though his relatives fear, from
the tone of his latest advice. that he has

The rem arkable success of the paper
in the p st, as manifested by its large
and steadily growing subscription
list, its increasing advertising patron
age and the expressions of goodwill
towards the journal which greet ua
from oil quarters, convinces the pub
fishers that they are doing what they
set out to do-namely, furnish q
newspaper that the people would like,
and therefore support. The HERALD,
as in the past. will be the peoples
paper. Independent in a political
sense, it will always be found
on the side of the people, outspokeu
on questions affecting the rights OF the
masses; battling for local selfgovern.

treating public matters dispsSsion-

lated to enlighten the reason of men
rather than influence their passions.

Tne Minority on the Exodus.

Washington, 16.-Windom presented,
in the Senate to-day, the views of the
minority of the exodus committee, ap-
pointed TO investigate the causes which
led to the immigration Of negroes from
the southern to the northern states. The
minority assert that they found no evil
dence Whatever tending to sustain the
charge that the republican party, or aLy
Of its leaders, have been instrumental in
encouraging the exodus Of the blacks
from the south to the north. With
reference to aid societies encouraging snd
aiding this emigration, the minority
found that their purposes were
purely charitable and had no connection
whatever with any political movements.
The minority then proceeded to very
exhaustive review Of the evidence Of
some Of the principal co ored witnesses
examined by the committee; nearly all
of which witnesses, the minority say,
attributed the cause Of the exodus to =
feeling Of insecurity for life and property.
