ANNABEL LEE.

Twas more than million years ago,
or so II seems 10 me,
That used to prance around and beau
The beautiful Annabel Lee.
There were other girls IN the nelghborhood
But none was patch TO she.
Aud this was the reason that long ago
My love fell out Of tree,
And busted herself on cruel rock
A solemn sight to see.
For II spoiled the hat and gown and looks
ofthe beautiful AnnRbel Lee,
We loved with love that was lovely love,
and my Annabel Lee,
And we went one day to gather the nuts
That men call hckOTee--
And | stayed below In the rosy glow
While she Skinned up the treei
But no sooner up than down kerslup
Came the beautiful Annabel Lee.
And the palld moon and the hectic noon
Bring CLEANS Of dreams for me,
Ofthc dcsOlatc aud desperate fate
Ofthe beautiful Annabel Lee;
And oIon think as l sink on the brink
Ofslumbpr's sea Of the warm pink link
That bound my soul TO Annabel Leei
Aud II wasn't Just est for her interest
To cllui that hickory tree.
For had she stayed below with me
Wed had no hickory nuts, maybe,
But would have had my Annabel Ice.

Killing His Wife by Mistake.

CHARLOTTE G. H., Va, Feb. O.
On "Wednesday evening a white
woman went into John Detnp's
house, IN Cbickertown, Charlotte
county, and asked to stay day or
two. She seemed to have plenty
Of money. Detnp had only one
good chamber 10 the house, and
told her she could occupy that. He
accordingly put her in there, giving
her bed by the side of his wife's
bed. Demp seeing that she had
money, determined to murder her,
and last night he crcpt into the
room, armed with an axe. 1t seems
that his wife and the other woman
had changed beds during the night.
Demp went to the bed which he
supposed the guest occupied. He
could distinguish the outlines Of
the figure, and he dealt it two
murderous blows with the axe.
The noise woke the sleeper in the
other bed, and the man discovered
by her screams that he had murder
ed his own wife. He fed from the
room, and, fortunately for her
safety, the other woman Quilted the
house. Demp returned late, car
ricd the body Of his wife into n
clnmp of woods near by, and
buried it by the light of, a torch.
He then went back, and was en-
gagged in burning the bed sheets
when hsswas arrested.

Rich Southerners.
requiring Fortunes IN Ntso York
~ -Anecdotes Of Mr. Va
liam &. Iaavers.

A New. York letter to the Phila-
delphia Times furnishes some inter
esting information in regard to some
of the most prominent Southerners
who have come to the front in
Gotham, with some gossip Of their
lives and fortunes. According to
this letter, the best record made by
any Southerner in New York since
the war is to be credited to John
II. 1nman, the head of the great
cotten firm of Inman, Swami & Co.
Mr.. ,lnman, WHO is a Tcnnesseean,
came out of the artny ragged,
penniless boy, and reached New
Y ork in 1865 with less than 500
and no property. In1s7O he had
accumulated $4,000 !; in 1880 he
was worth $2,OOO,OOO. and had a
net income of Sl9O, 900. He is just
36 years Of age, and is the head of
his frm-now 1nman. Swami &
Co.-which did a cotton business
last year Of over $40, 100000, and
sent profit to the balance sheet of
between $35O,CO0 and 100000.
He has large enterprises outside OF
his firm, having last year over ST.
O0O.0 in fertilizers, and, barring
accidents, will in ten years be
worth $1O,OOO,OOO. s, w. II. Inman,
Of the sauna firm, is worth about

value and solubility depend upon the de-
gree Of fneness in which they are used.
Most certainly it does The finer the
plaster or fertilizer is the more surface its
particles present to the action OF the air

its degree Of solubility aud action on both
the soil and plants. II we remember
rightly, DIR Goessmann lays so much stress
on this point that he says it is better econ.

coarser grade.

Start n Bone Orchard"

Not unfrequently during the summer as
well as at other seasons OF the year, the
farmer loses a valuable horse or COW by
some unlocked for accident or disease, and
in such cases generally gives the carcass
away to neighbor who will carry it of,
or buries it in the nearest sandbank. But
in so doing he allows a great waste OF val
liable fertilizing material, for if the car
carcass is cut up into coarse pieces, little
lime or ashes thrown on to hasten decom.
position, and the whole covered over with
several carloads of earth, and allowed to
stand year or so, it will make first-class
manure. Such a compost ought to be
worked over once or twice and the bones
picked out before being. used, because
they need to be ground or'broken up be.
fore being applied as Il fertilizer. Anyone
who has never tried this way of utilizing
carcasses will be surprised to find how
much good manure single carcass will
make We have in mind couple Of
young farmers who made enough manure
in this way to give several large fields a
heavy dressing, They not only used
what ANIMALS Of their own that died, but
also were the scayengers for the whole
neighborhood, being usually paid for car
rying of carcass besides having it for
manure After awhile, however, their
neighbors saw what good thing they
we're making out Of the business and utili-
zed their dead animals on their own farms.
