Hughes was returning to Fresno from n
visit to his sheep camps, in tho vicinity of
Whites bridge, no met with rather n sin
gulnr and laughabo adventure. When
within about oightoon miles of Fresno ho
observed large eagle in close pursuit of n
jnck-rnbbit. AS tho ongle was on tho point
of picking up tho rabbit, tho latter ran into
n hole. In less than minute no emerged
with n large badger in close pursuit. Tho
eaglo picked up tho rabbit just ma tho
badger tackled him. Mr.. Hughes ran over
and caught tho eaglo and his sheep-dog
pitched into tho badger. Tho badger caught
tho dog and came near dragging him into
it's hole, but with tho assistance of Mr..
Hughes was soon overpowered, tho rabbit
in tho meantime making his escape. The
eagle which was exhibited alive on our
streets, measured over eight feet from tip
to tip of wing.-Fresno Republican,,

The Savannah Morning Ne,os, in conse
Columns So as to enable it TO aeeSamnfHggdaoeG ts
hour of going to press to the new time table Ii
says:
Our readers will notice this morning radical
change in the appearance Of the Ne,cs This
has been necessitated by the change of schedule
between this city and Jacksonville via Way
cross, so that the paper may get to press in time
for the Florida mails and so be delivered to our
readers along the line of the new road on the
morning of its issue, and in Jacksonville at the
same time with the press of that city.
The Jacksonville Union rather takes umbrage,
and devotes a half cnlumn TO the endeavor to
prove what ought not to need provlng-that
the people of Florida should patronizc the Union
in preference to a daily published in another
State. The Union contains all the daily tele-
grams, and has always in its editorial columns
labored for the interest of the entire State. Ii
certainly deserves the patronage Of the people
of Florida, and we hope TO see it receive the
same. Sill, people Will be governed by other
considerations than simple duty, whether pub
lie or private, and the Savannah daily and the
Savannah merchants and the Savannah railroads
have always been careful TO invite and strive for
the trade of Middle Florida and the patronage
of its people. If Savannah has gained thereby
what Jacksonville should have had, who is 10
blame? 1t is nevertheless true however that
under the new schedule, which are obliged
TO characterize as bad as possible, and which we
hope will soon be changed, the Ners does not
compete with the Union in furnishing the latest
news, seeing that ii is now always day behind
in its arrival, and its telegraphic intelligence is
necessarily day older than that contained IN the
jacksonville paper. We mention this with the
hope that the editor Of the Neaos who is dircc-
tor in the Savannah railroad, will endeayor to
reform the schedule between that city and
Jacksonville" in such way that the whole of
Middle Florida, as well as all that country west
OF JAG sonville, shall cease to suffer from the
detention of oil mail matter at jacksonville for
some ten or more hours. If there is not speedy
change for the better very soon, there will be
row, and big one. Nobody particularly OBJ
jects 10 the mails outside of Florida being carried
over the Waycross road, but there is serious OBJ
lection when such an arrangement deprives and
robs oyer one-half of the the people of the State
Of the rapid transit" to which they had been
accustomed. The Waycross Fast Mail y leaves
Savanh nah at $40 and arrives at Jacksonville
ertm1rning, Sunday excepted, at LIS, and arrives
at Tallahassee at 8.25 p NJ; thus the mail arrives
here in 20 hours and 10 minutes AFTER leaving

southern Grain Creps.

The Macon Telegraph says that ~cotempon-
neously with the fall in cotton and the unexam-
pied increase of the crop, the othor side OF
gloomy picture Is presented, ia rapidly decreas-
ing supplies Of food crops in the South. Every
rural paper in Georgia complains of enormous
and increasing importation of Western corn and
forage. These make the support of working
stock on the farm impossible upon any conditions
of practical economy. No crop can be raised on
food hauled two thousand miles, without posi-
tive money loss. Every farmer who will take
his pencil and calculate, will see ihatit will be ex
tremely doubtful whether, with the best economy,
cotton produced this year will reimburse expen-
ses. But when he adds 10 the ordinary expen-
ses of iudicious farming. grain, meat and fertil-
izers bought at extravagant rates, he is san
guine man, if he hopes to escape ruinous debt As
the result of his years agriculture. The only
chance of life and hope is to diminish liabilities
to the lowest figure"
1t is plain that no agricultural community can
be prosperous whose corn-cribs and smOke-houses
are not filled by their own industry. If times
are hard by reason of the scarcity of money the
reason will be found in the fact that too many
of our people buy their bread and meat instead
of making it. We read that the cotton acreage
has increased, while the acreage devoted to the
necessaries of life remains the same as last year,
and the prospect OF course is that the drain of
money to supply food will continue as heretofore
and the too frequent cry of "hard times " be
heard all through the South
