Poultry.
Young Turkeys.

There is generally a great and un.
necessary loss of young turkeys. They
are extremely tender while they have
their downy coat still on, and require
great care and attention. After they
are once feathered, however, they
will care for themselves and are very
strong. When the young turkeys are
ready to leave the nest, have ready
for them i. tight and large coop, with
good, dry board floor. Make a V
shaped run for them, communicating
with the coop, which must be so ar
ranged that they can be confined at
will. Never let them out until the
dew is off the grass, and pen them up
early in the evening. If you are not
willing to take the trouble of getting
them under shelter in case of a show
er. then do not let them run at large
at all until they are fully feathered,
as single wetting may cause great
loss. Feed often, and give a little at
a time. Curd made from thick milk,
or stale bread soaked in milk, with
onion tops cut fine and mixed through,
makes the best food. Give sweet
milk to drink if you have plenty.
Two or three times Il week sprinkle q
little cayenne pepper among their
food -

GOOD STOCK vs. POOR STOCK.

Demand makes prices. In those
three words is expressed the very
germ Of truth as applied to good and
poor stock. Articles which are in
demand, sell we'll and readily at remu-
nerative prices. Articles which are
not in demand, remain at a loss upon
the hands of the owner and when sold,
there is little, if any, profit in them,
and often great loss. This principle
is as applicable to stock raising as it
is the great point around which the
policy of merchantile transactions are
arranged.
Demand and supply is the locomotive
which moves the ponderous train of
trade over mountains, through valleys,
over and under rivers, on waifery
wires stretched over house tops and
tall poles. When you stand in some
spot where you can see some man.
moth achievement of mans ingenuity
displayed in gigantic machinery,
endless whirling shafts and belts, and,
following up their shafts, pass through
room after room where may be seen
some special article in various stages
of completion which is being manu-
factured for the use of men. You
will stand almost overcome with awe.
but ask yourself why this investment
of almost untold wealth in the pro-
duction of only one of our numberless
wants? The truth will at once burst
upon you. There must be a demand
for the article and this is simply the
means of supplying it. Their ma
chinery and conveniences aid them in
cheaply furnishing superior article
for which there is a demand and con-
sequently good market. This is the
grand head center of all business prin.

innumerable small veins and arteries

of the earth. Just think of it! Sup
ply and demand sends our great ships
on woven wings by the winds of heav-
en- over the vast waters in search of
something for us to use or enjoy; they
place the iron bands upon the earth
and daily sends over them tons
upon tons of merchandise; they
stretch little wires over the country
and bottle up lightning to facilitate
commerce; they set wheel after wheel
in factories and run them night and
day; supply is the engine, and demand
is the fuel which keeps up the steam.
lie who can successfully supply a de.
mand constantly, will get wealthy.
Can there be any doubt about the
difference between the demand for
good, and the demand for poor stock?
No! The farmer who keeps good stock
can always dispose of it to advantage.
while poor stock will be passed by
the buyer according to the great rule.

CORRECTION.

AT the request of DIR. Beaumont
we print the following note, giving
a corrected narration of the events
of last Saturday night.
DIR. d. F. WRIGHT-MY Deay
Sir: A few minutes after IL O'Clock,
Saturday night last, [ had occasion
to go to the pOstOfice, and immedi-
ately on passing out of my street oil
front door, looking on Second street,
/ heard gun-shot and saw the flash
of its fire on the alley between ne
and Mrs. Munford. l advanced to
about midway of my porch and to
its edge, my face towards the alley,
listening to catch some sound that
might indicate the cause of the
firing, when a second shot was fired
and voice exclaimed "GOd damn
YOU, come out here" Then [ re-
allied that the shots were intended
for me, and replied, "wait a mo-
ment and / lCW come OUT and
turned to go in for a pistol, and
while unlocking my door the third
shot was fired. The last shot came
from the corner of Second street and
the alley; the second from point
about midway between the corner
and my office, or side-gate, and the
first from near the latter gate.
Throwing my front door wide
open, [ passed quickly as possible
to my pistol, intending to return to
the front door and leap out into the
darkness so as to be on equal terms
with my assailant, but found l
should have to carry my entire
family with me, grandchildren and
all, and so staid inside. My front
door is so arranged as to transmit
the light from the hall and light up
the approach to it all the way from
the front gate. So l was very visible,
and at once recognized by the as
sassin when / stepped out on the
porch. One shot was found next
morning to have lodged in the
house, and it was fully three feet
above my head, and over the posi-
ton / occupied when the second
shot was fired.
1t had not occurred to me that |
had an enemy so base as to Turk in
the darkness near my house, and at
that hour of the night expected to
see on the street none but police
man or a belated business man.
This is the reason why / went out
unprepared to meet such an attack.
Very truly, yours. &c.

SARA BERNHARDT.

For more than six months a pre-
Jude of trumpet music has been fill
ing the air in anticipation of the
arrival of this gifted member of the
Coincide Franchise. AT last on Mon
day evening, Nov. s, she made her
first appearance at Booths Theatre,
New York. While everybody re-
cognizes abundance of talent in her
acting, the general expression of the
press seems to be one of subdued
disappointment. We are not sur
prised at this. Sara Bernhardt made
her reputation as the bright partic-
ular star of a constellation Of great
actors and actresses she never till
his year undertook to shine alone
as a sun in the dramatic armament.
The truth is that the star system
has never flOurished in France.
What intelligent play-goers demand
there is perfection throughout a
corps dranadtique, such that every
part is sustained with consummate
ability. Thus the Coincide FFancaise
company, with Sara Bernhardt, was
the finest thing in the way of dra-
matte achievement which Europe
could produce, but Sara Bernhardt
without the Coincide FRANCHISE pro-
vokes invidious comparisons with
several greater artistes who have
preceded her. Rachel, Ristori, JAN
auschek have all achieved higher
reputation in America than the
Bernhardt is likely to reach.
Speculations have been rife as to
whether the lady would obtain the
social recognition which was ac-
corded her in London. But the
truth is she never was in society in
England. She was much petted
and feted by the Prince of Wales
and his set, but the Prince of Wales
set unfortunately is not society"
The obstacle is that the divine
Sara is accompanied by saucy boy
of thirteen, whom she calls cher
little accident" while he calls her
llndeDaOtSeLLe ma mere. This is little
too Frenchy for anything in Amer
lea that really deserves to be called
society" Shoddy, in its ignorance,
may possibly patronize her.

Those terrible Rebels.
Milwaukee sun.

When the GAINESVILLE Guards and
Illinois military reached Nashville
the other day, on the way to Attain
ia, they found some six thousand
men waiting to receive them at the
depot. The rebels pretended to be
friendly and gave our boys three
rousing cheers, when they conduct
ed them to a long table and for an
hour they were subjected to every
indignity that the devlish ingenui-
ty of the traitors could invent, or the
reason afforded. There was boned
chicken, turkey and cranberry sauce
and oysters in every style, and when
our poor boys left the table, some #
them were almost in a dying coudi-
ton. The same outrage was re-
peated at Atlanta. And there are
men who tell us northern man
perfectly safe in the south!

Among the most instrumental in
creating the immense radical major
ity the north gave at the recent
election were the manufacturers
and merchants of that section, who,
by threats of discharge in case their
employees did otherwise, intimidated
them into voting the Republican
ticket. AS the puissant north has
not yet enacted a law compelling
the south to trade with it, the south
ern people should avail themselves
of this grace and form at once direct
trade relations with foreign ports
and sell their products to and buy
such articles as they cannot manu-
facture themselves from those who,
no matter what they think, at least
don't publicly proclaim them
thieves, robbers, rebels and murder
ers. The products and the trade of
the south have been the real causes
of the revival of business and the
financial success Ofthe United States

the south has reaped little of the ac-
cruing benefits, the north has grown

WHAT NExTs


A ships crew in panic from fear
of wreck or fire is one of the most
deplorable and humiIiating aspects
under which human nature can be
contemplated. 1t is also one Of the
most dangerous many good ship
has been lost which might other
wise have been saved, through the
paralysis of thought and action
called "panic." There is only one
remedy for il, and wise command
ers know it-give everybody some
thing TO do. If you can put some
to working at the pumps, Others to
launching the boats, Others to pack
ing and slowing away provisions,
and frightened women to dressing
and preparing children. Then, if
the disaster is at all retrievable, the
ship may be saved.
Tennessee is a ship in great straits,
and her crew are at present, to say
the least, demoralized, if not in a
state of panic, but the ship is still
seaworthy, and if a wise captain
can apply the remedy by setting
everyone to work, she may yet be
saved.
What is the work to be done
That is plain enough if we will take
hold of it and work with will.
First-We must prevent Horace
Maynard from going to the senate
and so establishing a republican
majority there.
Second-The debt question, which
has done all the mischief, must be
finally settled.
Third-Measures must be at once
inaugurated for the redemption o.
the state from republican rule in
1882.
If we can bend our whole energies
to these objects, much may be done
but the first is that on which all oul
efforts must first be concentrated
for it is there that the danger is
most imminent. Horace Maynard
must not go to the United States
Senate.
1t must be admitted that the
danger is imminent. The final re-
turns give us for the Tennessee leg.

The even hundred is made up by

On joint ballot, then, the republi-
cans can command forty-siX votes
out of one hundred. If they can,
by fair means or foul, gain five
votes from the remaining 90, they
elect Maynard. Can they do it?
We absolutely refuse to believe
that those who supported Mr.. Will
son in the late canvass, and have
been elected on his ticket, intended
or expected to produce the result of
throwing the state into the hands of
The republican party. We cannot
conceive of them as satisfied with
the accession of that party to pre-
dominance in Tennessee politics,
especially with republican repre-
sentation of our state in the national
senate. Nobody can now be blind
to the fact that this can only be pre-
vented by the steady cooperation
of all who are not republicans in
the present legislature. One thing
alone can be urged against this-the
impOssibility of those acting to-
gether who were divided in the
recent contest by their conflict of
opinion about the state debt. Surely
this can be no longer an operative
cause. If a question was ever thor
oughly canvassed in a state, and
decided by an overwhelming ma
jority, that is true of our debt ques-
tiOn in Tennessee. Those who voted
for Hawkins and those who sup
ported Wright are one in this, and

HOW THE LEGIsLATURE WILL
STAND.


Since our leading editorial was
written, the returns received make
the balance OF parties In the legisla-
ture even nearer than we there rep
resented. We have a majority OF
FIVE in the state senate, while the
republicans have a majority of
three, if not four, i'm the house.
They probably stand 36 to 80 there,
leaving on joint ballot a majority of
two to the democrats; and even
this estimate presupposes that every
vote not avowedly republican will
be cast against Maynard. We hope
for the best, but there is not as much
margin as we should wish to pro-
vide against accidents.
Our neighbor of the Nashville
American, however, thinks it is all
safe now, and, as we wish our read
ers to take as hopeful view of mat
tiers as possible, we reprint his
remarks on the situation
A letter from w. w. Goodpasture, of
Overton, to Collector Woodcocx, comedies
the election of Smith, democrat, in the fifth
senatorial district, which makes the senate
stand: Democrats 10, republicans 10. This,
with later returns from doubtful districts,
gives assurance that Tennessee will send q
democratic senator to stand as one of the
great and only barrier between the south,
between the solid interests of all the coun-
try, and the staIwart policy of Conkling,
Cameron and Logan. For days it was I'M
certain how the senate would be, and few,
perhaps, appreciated the danger 10 all the
| Interests of the south during that time. We
were in hairsbreadth of a terrible peril. A
new extreme policy, such as they have al
ready outlived, would have set Tennessee
and the south back ten years. By the asSur-
| ance that Tennessee will send a democrat,
| to stand firmly against the reopening of
sectional strife, the certainty of our further
rapid growth is established.
