The Cows in the Corn.

II seens almost as if summer was gone, ..
To see the COWS in the field Of corn;
There's Brindle with red skin and crumpled
horn,
Who rambles the fields in careless mood
And gathers the best the grounds afford.
Then there is Bessie. The spoclsled one,
Who follows on wherc the other has gone;
She isn't COW that is sad and forlorn.
Not she. She's meek End patient. like her
best
She isn't selfish like all the rest.
So as l notice the people about
They are Brindle and Bessie, out and out;
Some want the green corn, and have it too,
And leavc-what is left when they get through

The arrival in England OF steamer
from Australia with 120 tons of meat in
good condition, indicates that American
cattle raisers must henceforth expect
competition from that quarter. The
distance traversed is, however, so great
as to give American producers important
advantages in the matter of less freight,
greater security and quicker returns.

Few sights at the great industrial fair
in Boston attract more attention than
the appearance and work of two pupils
from the Hampton institute. One Of
these is an Apache Indian, who sur
prises all spectators by his skill in max
ing shoes. Beside the bench at which
he sits are two pair of laced shoes, neat
and substantial, one made after only
six weeks instruction at the institute,
and the other produced within two or
three days at the fan.

BY law marriage in England, except
by special license, is not legal if the
ceremony does not take place in the
morning that is before noon. A special
license, obtaiDable on payment OF a GER
tain fee to the Archbishop Of Canterbury
THAT is to one Of his clerks), legalizes a
marriage at any hour Of the day or
night. OF late it has become rather
fashionable TO purchase these special
Licenses, and TO have the ceremony per-
formed il the afternoon or evening.

WHAT AN OLD FARMER SAYS.

This is the advice Of an old farmer who has TIL.
ed the soil for forty years:
l Rmaan old man, upwards Of three.scOre years,
during two score Of which have been rich and
have all I need; do not owe dollar; have given
my children good education and when am
called away shall leave them enough to keep the
wolf from the door. Ny experience has taught
me that
l. One acre Of land, well prepared and well
TILED, produced more than two which received
only the same amount oflabor used on one.
2. One COW, horse, mule, sheep or hog well fed is
more profitable than two kept on the same amount
necessary TO keep one well.
8. One acre Of clover or grass ls worth more
than two OF cotton where no grass or clover ls
raised,
A, No farmer who buys oats, corn or wheat, fod
der or hay, can keep the Sheriff from the door to
the eAd.
5. The farmer who never reads the papers, and
sneers at book farming and Improvements, al.
ways has lesky roof, poor stock, broken down
fences, and complains Of bad seasons"
6. The farmer who is above his business and enc
trusts 1t to another to manage soon has no busi'
ness to attend TO-.
The farmer whose habitusl beverage Is cold,
pure water ishealthler, Weather and wiser than
he who docs not refuse TO drink.

The Florida ship canal is associated
with the scheme to drain OkeeChobee
Lake, but at the same time a distinct
piece Of work, for which special charter
has been obtained from the State Of
Florida. The route of the canal found
most desirable is that which starting
from the vicinity of Cedar Keys, in the
Gulf of Mexico, crosses the peninsula
and terminates either at San Augustine
or Jacksonville, on the Atlantic. The
distance across is about ITO miles, and a
ship canal would effect a saving Of about
500 miles as against the distance now
traVersed by vessels between the ports Of
the Gulf States and those of the Allan
tic States. The cost of the undertaking
is variously estimated at $20,000,000 to
$4,000 000 The commerce in and out
of the Gulf ports, exclusive of the West
India Islands, amounts annually to about
$500 100000, AS a general thing inland
canals have been superseded by rail-
roads, for quick transportation is the
order of the day. But in one sense
quick transportation may be provided
for by interoCeanic canals where, as in
the Suez canal, it saves the long passage
of thousands of miles of ocean naviga,
tion to India and the China seas, The
fact that there was a railway across the
Isthmus of Suez before the canal was
built proves, by the success of the canal
that it was inadequate to the purposes Of
commerce. A ship canal across the
peninsula of Florida would, in like man
ner, save 500 miles of sailing distance.

Last summer Thomas De Jarnette, Of Milton, N,
Carolina, which is not far from this place, came
into DanVille at night and going to house ofill-
repute, asked for Miss Mollie De Jarnelte, his
sister. When shown into her room he drew a re.
Vover and shot her Ave times, from the effects OF
which she died. He gave as an excuse for hia
crime that he wished to preserve the honor Of his
family, and he shot his sister because he did not
want her to lead life Of shame. day or two
after the murder, Mary Allen Murry, DeJarnette' g
aftinsnoe, came here from Milton, sndNahoWed
much devotion to the prisoner, visiting him daily
In his cell. De Jsrnette was sentenced TO be
hanged, but the Supreme Oou.t granted him
new trial, which will be begun In a short time,
Recently Miss Murry has not been so constant In
her visits to the prisoner. 1t seems that at the
time OF her engagement to De Jarnette, Mr.. Chas.
Gordon and Mr.. Alexander Bonhum, two young
men OF Milton were also rival sait0rs for her hand
About week ago the announcement was made
by the young lady and her friends that she was
to be married to Mr.. Bonhum, and that the mar.
riage was fixed for next Thursday night Last
evening Mr.. Gordon went to see the young lady
and she told him that she had come to the con.
clusion that he was the only one she had ever
loved, and she was willing to marry him Cor.

Bonhum was fixed for next Thursday night pro-

In the backs of chairs to prevent damage
to walls; in the ends and sides of door
steps; in rabbets of large folding doors;
on lids Of pianos; in rabbets Of rattling
window frames, and in fact anywhere
to overcome the nuisance Of rattling.
Car manufacturers use them to deaden
noise and avoid abrasion of polished sur.
faces. Carriage manufacturers apply
them to stop the rattling Of window
frames and doors, and for glass frames
to drop upon ON the inside of doors.
Book manufacturers place them on the
corners of large books to protect the
binding. In schools, slat frames and
rattling desk lids demand them. On
billiard cues they are used, and obviate
the use of chalk. Indeed, there is hard
