Bees a. - Clothes.

At least one-third of our lives is pass
ed In our beds, their arrangement and
furnishing is a matter of no small i'm
portance. The new steel spring bed is,
of course, the bed of the future. Full
filling every intention of fiexibility, it is
durable; it goes with the bedstead, as
an actual part of it, and it can never be
a nest or receptacle of any contagion or
impurity. On the subject of bedclothes
the points that have most to be enforced
are that heavy bed-clothlng is always a
mistake, and weight in no true sense
means warmth. The light down quilts
or coverlets which are coming into gen.
eral use are the greatest improvements
that have been made In our time in re-
gard to bed clothes. One of these quilts
takes the place of two blankets, and they
cause much less fatigue from weight than
layer upon layer of blanket covering.
The clothing must lie regulated accord
ing to the needs of each individual; the
body under the clothes must be neither
too cold or too hot but it Is better to
sleep with too little than too much cloth
ing. The position of the bed in the bed
room is of moment The foot OF the bed
to the fire place is the best Arrangement
when it can be carried out. The bed
should be away from the door, so that
the door does not open upon it, and
should never, if it can be helped, be be-
tween the door and fire If the head of
the bed can be placed to the east, so
that the body lies III the line of the
earth's motion, l think it is the best for
the sleeper. The furniture of the bed
room, other then the bed, should be of
the simplest kind. The chairs should
be uncovered, and free from stufing of
wooden or other material the wardrobe
shonld have closely fitting doors the
utensils should have closely fitting COW
SIS and everything that can in any way
gather dust should be carefully exciud
ed.

The family had only lately moved INTO

Her Flock.

An irascible sea captain settled down
to Portland life by the side of WELL
tempered man, and the two got along
very well until the ben question came
up. Said the captain: Il like you as
a neighbor, but 1 don't like your hens,
and if they trouble me more I'll shoot
them"
The mild hammered neighbor studied
over the matter some, but knowing the
captains reputation well by report, he
replied:
"Well, if We can't get along any other
way, shoot the hens, but would take
it as favor if you would throw them
when dead over into my yard and veil
to my wife"
'All right" said the captain.
The next day the captains gun was
heard, and a dead hen fell in the quiet
mans yard The next day another hen
was thrown over, the next two, and the
day after three.
Say, said the quiet man, couldn't
you scatter them along? Wereally can
not dispose of the number you are kill
inc. ps..-.-z-zsssssss@s,-s
'Give them 10 your poor relations"
gruffiy replied the captain.
And the quiet man did. He kept his
nei2hbors well supplied in chickens for
some weeks.
A few months after the captain said to
the quiet man:
81 have half dozen nice hens l am
going to give you if you will keep quiet
about that affair"
''How is that ?" said the quiet man.
Are you sorry because you killed my
hens?''
''Your hensr' said the captain.
Those hens belonged to my wife. 1
did not know she had any until 1 fed
you and your neighbors all summer out

Reading in Bed.

Reading in bed is not a custom to b
commended. The brain should not be
exercised when the rest of the body is
giving itself up 10 repose. This rule
applies especially, of course, at night,
after the labors of the day, and when tho
brain is in a state of weariness. Weap-
prehend that this is the point of tie in
junction not to read in bed. The mere
recumbency of poature while reading il
not calculated to injure the brain.

Celebrated Case.

a case Of considerable importance was
tried on Wednesday last at Jesup, Georgia,
before His Honor Judge NJ. L. Mersbon. At
the spring term Of that court Mr.. John
Massey, a merchant in Jesup, was indicted
for selling "FarkeT's Celebrated Stomach Bit
tsTs" contrary to the law requiring license
for the sale of Intoxicating liquors and BIT
tiers. The case was most ably handled by
the State Solicitor, G. B. Mabry, ESQ.,, as
sisted by S. W. Hitch, Esq, OF Jesup, on
behalf of the State, and by Garrard q Mel
drim, Of Savannah, assisted by Colonel Fol
ton, Of Appling county, for the defendant.
The case was conducted upon high grounds,
and the component parts and medicinal vir-
tues OF the Bitters were subjected to most
searching examination. Their medical vir-
tues and chemical purity were fully estab-
lished by several witnesses, and the jury,
after being out but short time, returned
verdict Of not guilty. We congratulate our
friends, II. Ferst s. Co., who are the agents
for its sale in this section.

An Exciting Chaae.

At about o'clock last evening a colored
individual came running at full speed down
Whitaker street followed by number Of
parties yelling ''stop thief" At length the
appeal was needed, and at the corner Of
Whitaker and Bay street the fugitive was
brought to bay. A policeman coming up at
the time, discovered that the man and brother
had gone to the market, ordered a substan-
tial supper, and after partakiDg Of the same
had started off without paying his bill; and
further, that the proprietor Of the restaurant,
not liking the idea Of being swindled, had
raised the hue and c'y. The delinquent
creditor, finding himself in the clutches Of
the law, promptly met his obligation, with
the naive remark that he had been ready to
settle Immediately after eating, but that as
no one came for the money he thought no
one cared TO receive It. The sffsir created
considerable excitement for time, and the
conclusion caused much amusement.

Regarding the prospects Of the rice plant
ers on the Altamahs, the Darien Timber Ga
setts says:
1.-THE rice planters of the Altamaha have
harvested fine crop in excellent condition.
They ought to get for it, and we hope they
may, a very high price; for, excepting this
river and the Satills, and upon the latter the
quantity raised is not very great, there is
not river on the South Atlantic coast on
which the crop has not been either totally
DESTROYED OF harvested in damaged condt-
ton, with heavy loss. At the Worlds Fair
in London, Carolina and Georgia rice took
the premium against that brought
from all the other rice growing re-
gions of the earth. Since the war
our rice planters have had hard time OF 1t.
Their expensive banks, dykes, food gates,
trunks and machinery had to be replaced at
heavy cost. The culture being dependent
upon tides, requires organized labor, to
greater extent than any other agricultural
Industry, and there have been many IN
favorable seasons. But the production, not
wfthstanding these drawbacks, has steadily
increased, and we hope soon to see the plan
tiers attain the fruition OF their hopes, to
which they are entitled, by their uncom-
planning perseverance and industry"
