Fatten stock Early.

1t is the custom of many farmers to
delay feeding stock designated for the
market till vegetables have attained their
growth and corn has become hard on the
ear. They think there is q great loss in
feeding material if the above named
articles are eaten before they are mature.
They accordingly delay feeding animals
with view of fattening them till the
food they are expected to eat shall attain
its maximum value. They seem to for
get that this delay is attended with many
disadvantages that more than offset the
gain in the value of food. The state of
the weather has almost as much influence
ON the fattening of stock as the condition
of the food fed to the animals. What is
gained in the quality of food by delay is
generally lost in the unfavorable condi-
ton Of the weather.
Take one season with another. Sep
tember and October are the most favora-
BILE months in the entire year for fatten-
ing stock of all kinds. Severe storms
are then few. The temperature is
neither very warm nor very cold. 1t is
in the highest degree comfortable. The
air is generally pure, cool, and refresh.
ing. During this season of the year q
larger portion of the food consumed by
animals is converted into fat and muscle
than at any othertime. Exercise during

The Woman Who IL Not Particular.

Go where you will, You shall see the
woman who is not particular. 1t makes
not the least bit of difference in the world
to her where she sits or what she has to
eat. She is not particular, it makes no
difference to her. So she sits in the
cosiest seat and eats of the best that is
going. Into railroad train the other
day entered this woman who is not par
ticular. She had child in her arms
In the center of the car were several va
cant seats. Most persons would have
taken one of them; but when the gentle
man with her, presumably her husband,
pointed to those seats, the woman re-
piled sweetly: "Oh, I'm not particular,
Henry; I'll sit right down here And
down she sat, with her $50 pounds avoir-
dupois, not to mention the infant, into
the half-seat by the door. You see, she
wasn't particular. She didn't mind that
lady was already in the seat; she didn't
mind that two-thirds of her own body
rested on that lady; she didn't mind that
that lady was immoyably pinned against
the iron framework OF the seat; she
didn't mind her squirmings; she didn't
mind that her baby was mussing the
lady's bonnet trimmings with its I'M
washed hands; she didn't mind that it
had dropped its moistened gingerbread
in the lady's lap. Oh, no, she wasn't
particular. Sun.

The Fashionable beauty In Turkey

FIRST as to Turkish beauties, about
whom 80 much has been written and 30
little really known. Are they indeed
the honris we have been taught to con-
slider them? Are they the timid, gentle,
gazelle-like partners of their jealous
lords? Alas! poets and dramatists have
very much misled us; their chief beauty
is in the mystery that surrounds them;
and the closer we see them, both physi-
cally and morally, the less do we adj
mire.
In general they have oval faces, clear
olive skins, languishing dark eyes, and
beautiful hands, soft as velvet and white
us snow-beyond this, nothing. They
lack the natural grace and pretty coquet-
ny Of our Levantine bellies, and the firm
tread, elegant manners and becoming
modesty of European women. Their
figures are clumsy, their features some
what harsh, their lips full and often
thick; they walk with a roll (tneir legs
being bowed), and even their natural at
fractions depend more or less upon arti-
fetal aid. They thickly powder faces,
blacken their brows and dye their eye
lids and lashes, SO that when half yelled
by the yashmak screen, they are certain
ly striking and present dazzling effect;
but under other circumstances most OF
them would pass unobserved. Temple

That Strange Old Passion.

Long Branch:
The supper table to the "loOk.

whom he was distractively attentive.

The 18th Senatorial District The
Cowan- Morris Contest.

Ii is known that contest for the
seat for the long term in the Senate
has been made by the gentlemen above
named. The Vicksburg Herald says
"rhe issue is at last, however, fully made
up, and the people of the 9Th Senatorial
District, composed of Warren county, and.
indeed, the people of the whole State, will
expect thorough and impartial investiga.
ton of the grave charges and specifications
presented in this important issue. We
believe we but echo the general voice of the
whole community when we say that the in.
yestigation should be full, fair, and to the
bottom. IL is no contest between Messrs
Morris and Cowan. The claims and rights
of these gentlemen as citizens are of small
moment, We are not nor are the people
interested in the qualification of both, or
either their ambitions however laudable or
mertorlous either may be. But the issue
rises far higher, and takes Il wider and
nobler range And yet the question is a
very simple one. 1t is: Has there been
fraud and violence and tampering with the
ballot box9 And have these agencies
defeated the will Of the people in the cleo
ton of SenatorG Mr.. Morris afirms.
The case demands thorough and
impartial investigation, rendered doubly
necessary by the grave nature of the
allegations upon which the contest is
made. As a judicial body, the Senate
will do its duty; as Democratic body,
il will rise above mere partizan consid-
erations. We know absolutely nothing
of the merits of the case. We only be.
speak full, fair and impartial investi.
cation in the interest of law and Justice !;
and that it may be had the committee
of investigation should have power to
send for persons and papers, as in the
case of the Holmes county Representa-
tives; or what probably would be bet
ter, they should be authorized to visit
Vicksburg where they would have
prompt access to all the testimony that
will have bearing on the case.

To show that Mr.. Charles O'Connor,
who has predicted the defeat of the
Democratic party in 1880, is controlled
by other influences than sound judg-
ment and a well-balanced mind, it is on
ly necessary to note his declaration that
at the next Presidential election, he de-
ponds absolutely upon the vote of New
York, (Which is no doubt, true, md
that the Republicans have an absolute
legal and moral right to secure the vote
of that State for the Republican candi-
date by appointing the electors by the
Legislature now in session. In other
words, Mr., O'Conner, in order to graft.
fy his revenge upon his party, for not
voting for him in 1872, or for some
other real or imaginary offence, points
out the way by which the Democratic
masses of New York may be cheated
out of their votes in the Presidential
election by the present Republican Leg
islature of that State. The position he
takes is not only treason to the Democ-
racy Of his own State, but of the
Union.

A Valuation Law.

Mr.. Martin, of Claiborne, introduced q
very important bill in the House yesterday
which was referred to the Judiciary Com
mite The purpose Of the bill to prevent
the sacrifice ofproperty, sold under execu-
ton, or other final process, for a sum en-
tirely dsproportionate to its value and to
grant stay of execution on certain equitk
bic conditions. The act will give relief ia
debtors, while II secures the certain pay.
ment Of the debt 1t will tend to increase
the value of property sold under judicial
process and free the creditor of judgment
liens on his future industry, after all his
property has been sold, by encouraging pur-
chasers to bid nearer its actual value.
The main features of the bill are: |. The
appointment of appraisers, and their duties
, the poStponement of sale, in the event
the property does not bring two.thirds of its
appraised value; the practice consequent
on postponement of sale. 3. The second
sale on day of postponement, upon twelve
months credit. 4. The terms Of credit, to-
wit a special mortgage, with power of sale,
on the thing sold, together with bond for
the purchase money, and interest thereon at
the same rate named in the Judgment or
Decree under which sale is made 3. For
fixture of the special mortgage and bond, in
the event of failure to pay, on the part of
the purchaser, or purchasers, at the expira-
ton of twelve months, such forfeiture Of
bond to amount to judgment against obli-
gors, without the benefit Of valuation
or stay Of execution, upon motion
against them, issue made up, and
trial as now provided by law. 9th. Stay of
execution, with. exceptions of judgments
against defaulting officers, persons acting in
a iiduciary capacity, and sureties, on bonds
for purchase money of property sold under
execution, or other process, on twelve
months credit, provided bond, with good
and sufficient freehold security be given,
within thirty days from entry of judgment,
or decree. 18th, Stay TO be for three months
when sum does not exceed, twenty-five
dollars; for five months when sum ex-
ceeds twenty-five, but does not exceed fit.
ty dollars; for seven months when sum ex-
ceeds fifty, but does not exceed one hun
bred dollars; for ten months, when sum ex-
ceeis one hundred, and does not exceed one
hundred and fifty dollars and for twelve
months, when sum exceeds one hundred
and fifty dollars, Sth. Act not to
effect or interfere with existing contracts.
The present law enables the Judgment
creditor to sell his debtors property for any
thing it will bring. In the present condi-
ton of things che property sells for less
than tenth of its value the creditor is
not paid and the debtor is left with large
debt outstanding against him, with all of
his property gone, This act will cure this
evil, while it secures the creditor and gives
him interest on the purchase money
