70 Hang for Killing a Nearo.

AT The late term of court in Spar.
tanburg Thomas White, charged with
tie murder of Pet Hawkins. Il negro,
was tried and the jury returned ver-
dict of guilty. The prisoner is a
white man, about % or so years of
age, and the facts brought out in the
trial clearly proved that he deliberate
~ shot the deceased without the
slightest provocation. The defense
did not introduce any evidence, but
White prctends total ignorance of the
deed, and further alleges that he was
SO intoxicated as TO be oDivious OF
everything. His jury was composed
OF white men, whose veldicL will
probably slagger some Republicans,
ever ready to exaggerate and misrcp
resent The state Of affairs in Souil
Carolina. White was sentenced ,c
be hanged on the 23rd of April.

Our Bodies After Death.

Within q very near approach to
truth the human family inhabiting
the earth has been, estimated ut / ,O0G :
100000; the annual loss by death is
l6,OOO,OOO. Now, the weight Of the
animal matter Of this immense BODY
cast into the grave is no less than
634,0oo tons, and its8ecomposi,ion
produces 9,000,0 100000 cubic feet
of matter. The vegetable productions
of the earth clear away from the
earth the gasses thus generated, and
decomposing and assimilating them
for their own increase. This circle of
changes has been going on ever since
man became an occupier Of the earth.
He feeds On the lower animals and
on the seeds Of plants, which in due
time become part Of himself. The
lower animals feed upon the herbs
and grasses, which, in their turn, be-
come the animal then, by its death,
again passes into the atmosphere and
are ready once more TO be assimilatct
by plants, the earth or bone substance
alone remaining where it is deposited,
and not even there unless sufficiently
deep in the soil TO be out of the insor-
bent reach Of the roots and plants
and trees. 1t is not at all difficult to
prove that the elements of which the
living bodies Of the present genera
tIon are composed have passed
through millions Of mutations, and
formed parts Of all kinds OF animal
and vegetable bodies, and consequent
~ it may be said that fractions of the
elements Of our ancestors form Dor
tions Of ourselves.

John G!lpin was thin, callow and
awkward; ELLA Stanford, bonnie,
buxom and loving. They worked on
ncighboring farms at BIiddletown,
Conn, and last wednesday they went
before the squire and were married.
The next thing on the programme
was The wsdding tour. Neither had
money. Both had good, stout shoes.
Keeping excellent step as both hearts
beat as one, they set out to walk 10
Woodbury. to visit Johns old folks.
Wednesday night found them on the
road pushing on through the snow.
All day Thursday they pressed on,
and MS night fell they stopped at a
little inn by the roadside. John was
very much used up on Friday because
of the long walk, but Ella lent him u
shoulder, and so the wedding tour
was continued. AS the two ap-
preached within four or five miles of
Woodbury., John gave out, and per-
sons who kindly asked what was

The Responsive Chord,

In the early spring Of 1868, when
the Confederate and Federal armies
were confronting each other on the
opposite hills Of Stafford and Spott
sylvania, two bands chanccd one
evening, at the same hour, to begin
10 discourse sweet music upon either
bank of the river. A large crowd of
the soldiers Of both armies gathered
to listen to the music, the friendly
pickets not interfering, and soon the
bands began to answer each other.
First the bahd on the northern bank
woald play "Star Spangled Banner"
"liail Columbia" or some other ma
tlonal air, and at its conclusion the
"boys in blue" would cheer most lus-
tily. And then the band on the
southern bank would respond with
"plSle,' or ''Bonnie Blue Flag" or
some other Southern melody, and the
"boys in gray" would attest their an
probation with an sold Conf, d.rate
yell" But presently one of the bands
struck up, in sweet and plaintive
notes which were waited across the
Rappahannock and caught up at once
by the other band and swellcd into q
grand anthem which touched every
heart, "Homc, Sweet Home !" AT
the conclusion of this piece there wen,
up simultaneous shoet from both
sides of the river. Cheer followed
cheer, and those hills which hud so
recently rcsounded with hostile guns,
echoed and :c-echoed the glad &C.
claim. A chord had been struck re-
sponsi'e 10 which the hearts of enc.
mies-cnemies thcn-could beat in
unison; and, on both sides of the
river,
Something down the soldiers check
Washed OIL the stains of powder.

THE VALUE OF MUSTARD.

| have read that the European Gus
: tom OF eating mustard with sausage
dates back to remote antiquity.
Edward w., brother-in-law to the
citizens of a town which they be-
sought him to spare, that war could
not be conducted without burnings
any more than sausage could be ca
ten without mustard. A little later
Rabelias spoke ofmustard as the mat
ural ointment of sausage"
But there are comparatively mod
ern examples, for it is worthy Of note
that the sausage itself has almost as
ancient an origin as its piquant COM
panion. To the seven wise men of
philosophical Greece, opposed seven
famous cooks, one of whom (Aph-
%tontus) bears as his title to glory the
fame Of having invented sausage.
TO the effect of mustard on the hui
man system much has been written.
1t not only excites the salivary Sc
cretions and awakens the indolent
stomach from its languor, but it APP
pears tosconfer upon the system sew
al physiological conditions.
One another, experienced in expert
mental gastronomy, asserts that, by
some occult virtue it repIenishes the
smouldering fame of vitality, while
others claim that it strengthens the
memory, enlivens the imagination,
and renders the ~perceptive qualities
more clear. Hustins, a physician of
the sixteenth century, who bore the
name Of the Esculapius Of Germany,
declared that it gave birth to wit.

Kansas is the principal field for
supplies of castor beans, and the crop
this year is estimated up to ten mill
ion bushels.
The yield of wool is unusually large
In California this season, and growers
are jubilant in view Of the high pri-
ces.
Great Britain has revoked the or
der OF November 4 requiring immedi-
ate slaughter or quarantine of sheep
landed from the United States.
The wheat crop Of Oregon is the
largest ever produced in that State,
and at the present high prices will
bring to the people of the State up-
ward of $4,000,000, or over $3.50 for
each man, woman and child of the
population.
The grain traffic on the Baltimore
and OHIO road is so great that the
present facilities at Baltimore are
altogether inadequate, and the mana
gers have given orders for the cree
ton of an elevator with a capacity of
100000 bushels.
The Burlington Free Press says:
"The changes going on in the popula-
ton of the rural districts of Yer

what were once such"

CHARCOAL FOR HOGS.

We have but little doubt that char
coal is one of the best known rene
disc for the disordered state into
which hogs drift, usually having dis
ordered bowels, all the time giving off
the worst kind Of excavations. Prob
ably the best form in which char
coal can be given is in the form of
burnt corn--perhaps, because when
In other forms the hogs do not get
enough. A distillery was burned in
Illinois, about which a large number
: of hogs were kept. Cholera prevail
ed among these hogs somewhat ex-
tensively. In the burning of bull
dings a large amount of corn was
consumed. To this burned and par
ITALY burned corn the hogs had ac-
cess at will, and the sick commenced
recovering at once, and a large pro-
portion Of them got we'll. Many
farmers have practiced, feeding
scorched corn, putting it
into the stove or Building
a fire upon the ground, plcing the
ears of corr upon it, leaving them till
pretty well charred. Hogs fed on
still Stops are liable to be attacked
by irritation of the stomach and
bowels, coming from too free gener-
alton of acid, from fermentation Of
OF food after eaten. Charcoal, wheth-
er it be produced by burning corn or
wood, will neutralize..the acid, in this
way removing the irritating cause.
The charcoal will be relished TO the
extent of getting rid Of the acid,
and beyond that it may not be.
Hence it is well to let the wants of
the hog be settled fy the hog it's
elf.
