A Negro Boys FOrtitudc.
tkichmond IVA. Dispatch.l


Quite remarkable instance of the fortitude
of negro is related to have taken place at
Lynchburg recently. IL appears that few years
ago Frank Helmbolz shot very young negro
boy. The ball struck the boy and intu ,ted q
severe wound, from which an entire paralysis
OF one side resulted. The boy suffered intensely
at times, yet attempted to make living, and as
many good people pitied his helpless condition,
he made living by the sale OF cake, CONNECTIONS
and matches. Last week. during the absence OF
his mother, he undertook and accomplished the
entire amputation OF his paralyzed foot with a
small penknife and pair OF SCISSORS. When
found he was insensible, but the foot was OF
and the stump wrapped up In rag and paper
bag. such as is used In wrapping confectionery
Strange to relate, the boy began TO improve
the amputauon.

Bob lngersOll's Cousin.

The Presbytery of San Francisco has
decided, by very small majority in a
very thin meeting, that Sister Sarah B.
Cooper is not orthodox enough to teach
bible-class in a Presbyterian Sun
day-school. Sister Cooper, it appears,
is an own cousin of Col. Bob Ingesoll,
and one of the charges brought against
her by the scandalized superintendent
of the Sunday-school was that she had
said: eff heaven is made up of such
men as ]. B. Roberts, the SUI perinten-
dent, and hell Of such men as my cous-
in, Bob Ingersoll, l would prefer going
to hell all the time" This she admit
ed before the presbytery' but she le-
MED that she had said she knew Rob
would shave perch somewhere in
heaven" What she did say was, she
explained that she thought the colonel
would be leaning over the parapet of
heaven somewhere to pull Roberts in
that he was big enough and good
enough to do it. Being chatechised by
members of the presbytery as to
whether she believed that the whale
swallowed Jonah, she replied: eff you
want me, dear presbyters, to teach
Christ's teachings, l will do so until my
eyelids close in death, but don't ask me
anything about whales" She admit
ed that in moment of anger she had
called Superintendent Roberts "celes-
tial hound on the eternal hunt of her
esq., but disclaimed any feeling of
malice against him or desire to hurt
his business; "IfI knew any person
wanting insurance" she said, 81 would
send them tc him." After the pastor
of the contending parties had vindicat-
ed himself to his own satisfaction from
the imputation of stealing his sermons
the superintendent madea long speech,
in the course of which he accused
some unnamed member of the presby-
tery-apparently his pastor-of bonn
bast, vanity, malignity and ingratitude

Poultry.

Fanny Fern gives this advice to a
correspondent of the Prairie Farmer,
who wants to know the best varieties
for market purposes ri raise a good
many chickens for the early spring
market, and of all the breeds and
crosses that have tried for that pur-
pose, 1 unhesitalingly pronounce the
Plymouth Rock the best. 1 can get
them to average seven pounds a pair at
three months, live weight, and that is
good enough. I find a ready market,
and at the highest price too, for all
the chicks of that age and weight that
| can raise. If you intend to make a
business of raising chickens for the
spring market, I should advise you to
let Cochins alone, and use only pure
bred Plymouth Rock cocks, but if you
want to raise fowls for fall and winter
market, cross with the Brahmas or
Cochins." Fowls kept in confined
space should have soft food atleast once
day, say first feed in the morning,
and plenty of green food, lettuce dur
ing the season is excellent, also cabbage
the heads should be thrown whole to
to the fowls, not chopped; it will afford
employment. Meat should also be
supplied, else they may eat each
others feathers. 1t is capital plan to
run skewer through bullock's liver
and pin it to the ground in the centre
of the yard; it enables the birds to pick
off the meat in mouthfuls, without its
being drawn all over the yard.

Fattening Animals for Winter.

Nature sets the example. Look at
the woodchucks how fat they are. See
how nice and slick squirrels and other
wild animals look. Every bird and
creature of any kind which nature has
not entrusted to the keeping of man is
fat. The winter has to be lived through
and more or less the fat is what pre-
serves them. The first are said to be
in q dominant state, the fat impercep-
tibly keeping away hunger and cold.
The next mentioned are taught by ma
ture to lay in stock Of provisions, and
some are instinctively caused to move
into warmer climates, but in all cases
nature does not permit any under her
protection to dwindle away in the au-
tumn; they come into the full severity
of winter we'll prepared. Yet man
with this example before his eyes, will
scarcely allow the poor creatures in his
care to have any of the winter store till
the chills of autumn have reduced the
frame and brought down the fat which
summer would have accumulated with
good managem ent. The worst of man.
ayers will charge every mishap to any
thing but themselves, and when they
have starved number of unfortunate
young animals to an unhealthy con-
dition, they will begin to physic and use
drugs in other ways-ts do what? AS
sist nature when they have been going
contrary to all of natures will.
