BOY SWALLOWED ny An ALLIuArop.-Tbe
PENSACOLA (Fla) advance tells the following: =
Mr. John Owens, who lives two miles this side
OF Florida Town, on the Eastern shore of
Eastern shore of Escambia Bay, related to one
OF our citizens yesterday most horrifying affair."
His statement was-and he gave it as q positive
f"ct-that on the 10th instant, while o party
numbering some three or four were enjoying q
sea bath, their attention was directed to a little
ten or twelve.year. old boy whom they had left
on reef in shoal water near the beach, the men
having ventured into deeper water. On looking
in the direction of the child they realized the aw.
ful fact that the boy was being swallowed by an
alligator, fully half the victims body still being
visible and then suddenly disappearing in the
frightful jaws of the monster, whose tremcnd-
GUS mouth was plainly seen by each one present.
They at once returned to shore, but not trace
of the unfortunate lad could be discovered, save
the blood which foated on the water.

farmers to use charcoal and lime, as these are
y be obtained in any quantity and in most sit
uations at u very trifling cost. The lime will
supply carbon and oxygen to the plants during
their growth, and the charcoal will take up and
supply them with all the ammonia necessary to
their full development without any over-supply.
Charcoal will also afford t. plants sufficient mois-
ture during long droughts from its hydratic
quality of saturating its porcs and from its great
retentive power. 1t also lghtens the soil, per-
nitting the sun and air to penetrate to the roots
of the plants, and Letting all the rain percolate
fssey through it that is not required for its own
saturation.

MACON SEES A MErRoR.-Macon, Ga, June
3O;-About II o'clock last night meteor, as
large rs barrel, starting from the zenith,
plunged down the northeastern sky and explo-
ded near here with a report that reverberated
for thirty seconds, and shook the earth even at
this point. The meteor was about five seconds
is falling, during which time the city was lit up
as though by powerful electric light. Much
excitement prevailed in every quarter. The in
habitants rushed into their houses and closed
their doors, filling the air with screams and
prayers. The time between the disappearance
OF the phenomenon and the report was three
minutes. This would make the distance from
Macon about forty miles.

TRAFFIC IN SEED CoTroN.-MR. ID. X.
DuRfsoE.--l am in receip OF yours of tho
18th, requesting me to meet your club on
TO- morrow, the 10th, "und give my views
as farmer" as to the most practical meas-
urc to suppress the traffic in seed COTTON
l regret, owing to previous engagement,
that cannot join your club in counsel Oh
this "sccd cotton" question. To know tho
practice of buying seed cotton (with
fraudulent intenD is 80 common in our
county that it is thought necessary to bring
the subject prominently before our political
organizations, is sad commentary on tie
morals of some Of our citizens but sad rs
this may appear, If this thing continues to
lnJure, corrupt and confuse our farming in.
tcrests, we should meet the question as men,
and not allow any man or set of mon to en-.
courage and foster traffic in .secd cotton"
or any other product of the soil because,
they can take shelter behind some tcchni-
cal construction of the statutes about which
the most learned in the law may differ
My judgment is that ou. people should
come 10 the front aud formally condemn
this seed cotton traffic as an outrage against
the general farming interest of the country,
as an encouragement to crime and ms prac-
tice that has and will continue to breed
strife, discomfort and perhaps bloodshcd.-
Ii this is done in a prudent but firm way.
you will find few, if any men in the coun-
ty, who will totally disregard the wish of
the whole people thus expressed. Should
they continue this trade, it will be done in
such way that no doubt will be left in the
mind of any neighbor, friend or foe, as to-
the honesty of their transaction. AS to
that class (if any are to bc found) who have
no respect for the wishes of their neighbors
and the community generally, ample pro.
vision should be made by the Legislature
for all such.
10 rass statute to prevent the buying
and selling of seed cotton may appear as
hrst sight positively arbitrary and contrary
to the spirit of our form of government.
On this subject, am convinced an act
can be framed with such restrictions and
penalties Gall within the constitution as
will prevent any and all dishonest transac.
ton In seed cotton, except by those who
have no respect for their reputation tor
honesty, and when man comes to this point
weall know the law is ample, when tho
proof is furnished, and if We hs vc much in
tercst in each individual case, the proof cam
always be had soon or lato.
How best, in the way of details, to ac-
complish the end your Club has in view,
might perhaps at this time, be imnronsr to
passing such law, have no doubt and ie
should be special charge in the hands of
our delegation during the next session Of
the Legislature.

The Cow WITH HER FIRST CALF-It
is ofen the case when q heifer has ,r first
calf that the farmer thinks she will not give
more milk than will keep her calf in good
condition, and lets them run together to
teach her the mystery of being MIXED when
she has her next calf. In this decision
there are two mistakes that 60 far to spoil
the cow for future usefulness.
Cows are largely the creatures of habit,
and with their first calf everything is new
and strange to them, and they readily SUBJ
nit to be MIXED and think it is all right; but
suffer them to run with the calf the first sea.
son and vicious habit is established that
they will hardly forget in q lifetime IF they
ever submit to be MIXED quietly, it is evil
IDENTIFY under protest. But there is great
er objection than this tho calf running
with the cow draws the milk every hour or
two, so that the milk vessels are not at any
time distcnded with milk though the guam
tity secreted in given time may be large
-Bat- this. il tho natural time to distcnd the
milk. ducts and expand the udder to good
capacity for holding milk.
When with her next calf Won require the
milk to be retained twelve hours, the udder
becomes hard and painful, and the milk
leaks from the teats, or more likely nature
accommodates the quantity of milk sccreted
to the capacity to retain it, and the COW be-
comes permanently small mixer. Much
of the future character of q COW, therefore
depends on her treatment with her first
calf.
In none ofour domestic animals are hab.
its more readily formed, and moro fimly
fixed than in the COW.
Everything that disturbs the quietness
of cow impairs the milk, both in quantity
and quality. To obtain the best results
therefore, there should be regular time
and place of milking, and as far as possible
the milking should be done by the same
person.

Mr.. PIGwEED has had a terrible time of
1T. lie resolved to set pistol in his safe,
before leaving home for the summer, so that
when anybody opened the door of the re-
ceptacle the pistol would be discharged
However, it puzzled him a good deal to find
way to set the pistol with the door shut.
and if he set it with the door open there
was no way to make the thing 90 off when
the door should be opened again. So he
finally set up the pistol inside the safe and
cooked it, and then putting his hand inside
closed the door all but crack, just sufficient
to admit his wrist. Then he fixed loop
from the door to the pistol trigger, so that
when the door was opened any wider the
pistol would be discharged. Then he at.
tempted to draw out his hand, but found
that while he had left the Goor sufficiently
open to accommodate his wrist it wouldn't
let out his hand without being opened wider,
and that would discharge the pistol into his
stomach. There was nothing to do but to
take off the loop and put on little longer
one, and when he attempted to do that he
found that though he had been able to attach
the loop he couldn't reach quite far enough
to detach it again. Then the awrulncss of
his position came upon him. He was i'm
prisoned and could only release himself at
ths Rriss oefv fhasi y Ithf nsiip5 at last
help came, and the first man who arrived
was about to yank the door open before
Pigwced could stop him, and it gave the
victims nerves a terrible shock Finally
they got smiths and tools and went to work
to get in at the back of the safe and remove
the pistol, and they had to work very care
fully so as not to explode the pistol by the
jar. 1t was an all.day job, but finally after
Pigweed had nearly died form exhaustion,
and his hair had began to turn gray from
fright, they got at the pistol and found that
when he put it in there Pigweed had for
gotten to load it, so he might have yanked
his. hand out at any time. And though
Pigweed was terribly fatigued, he aroused
himself sufficiently to give the grandest ex-
hibition of profano discourse heard since
the Grant men left Chicago.
