Letter to the Courier Journal.


No one should come to Savannah
without seeing Bonaventure. This was
formerly the residence of Commodore
ratnall; it is now cemetery. The old
Commodore was man of strong peCu>
lilrities, and many anecdotes are told OF
him. He had invited a number Of
friends to dine, and Just at the time the
table was set 1t was discovered The man
sion was on fire. Little could be done TO
save it, and it was almost entirely de-
sroyed. When the excitement was
over the Commodore ordered the table
TO be spread on the lawn, as he would
not havea dinner party scattered by the
burning OF his house,
Even the most administrative indivi-
dual must be impressed as he passes
down these long avenues Of live oaks,
with their far-sprcading branches drdp
ed with moss, forming the most CXqui
site testoons nature eyer makes. These
groves ac wide and long 1t il said

planted in the form of the monogram Of

rations hom the forests in which they
dwelt, thus giving us the pointed arches
and the groins of the vaulted roof. In
llonaventure this belief amounts almost
to a demonstration; architecture may
initiate, but cannot sufpass the inter-
laced branches of those old OAKS; while
no artist could ever hope to equal the
grace, delicacy and beauty of the moss
which hangs from al their branches.
The whole effect is impressive, and as
the light fades these shapes become as
fantastic as any which have haunted the
mind ofGustave Dore as he pondered the
story of the Wandering Jew or Illustrated
the verse of Dante.

The Marriage Question.
Pail Mall Gaz tie


1t Is significant Of the change which
is passing over the European conceptions
of lie and Of morality that at the pres ,
ent moment nearly every legislature III
Europe is more or less preoccupied with
the marriage question. In Hungary
they have just legalized the marriage Of
Jews and Christians, and are discussing
the introduction of obligatory civil mar
rase. In Denmark the folkething has
been discussing the remarriage of di-
vorced persons. In Spain the Sagasta
ministry is busted about the reestablish.
ment Of civil marriages. NJ. Naquet's
bill for legalizing divorces was defeated
a short time ago by the French chamb Der,
which is now called upon TO deal with
proposals legalizlng the marriage OF
brothers in-law with their sis;ers.in.
law, ard the marriage of priests. In
Italy the divorce question has been
brought before the legislature by pro.
posal TO sanction divooce when either
the husband or the wife has been con.
demned TO penal servitude for life, and
to convert legal separation into a di-
vorce when three yeass, in the case Of
childless marriages, or five y airs, if there
are children, have elapsed without re.
concilation after the judgment of sepa-
ration was pronounced, BY This propo-

ripen into divorce by lapse of time.

drastic proposal will be receiped by
the Italian chamber.

the perpetrator of the murder would be

and that he wouldn't be found to be a

The story of the crime and execution
had long since been almost forgotten,
but the reported confession made public
has now revived it and aroused the Gu
rious interest Of all familiar with the
tragedy and the subsequent startling de-
velopments. The woman who is reputed
to have made the startling confession is
q Mrs. Patty A. Ward, living few miles
from Crishel1 She is suffering from a
terrible cancer, which has placed her
| beyond all fear of human law, and her
confession is believed to have been
prompted by knowledge of her APP
preaching death and the fear of entering
| into the presence Of her Maker without
| having confessed her crime. II is under
stood that she has given her friends a
full detail Of the horrible affair, in which
she discloses the fact that she, together
with her son, murdered Mr.. Dougherty
for his money. The son died few years
ago. A short time before his death, II
is said, he expressed wish to disclose
something's il is believed his share in
the crime-but Mrs. Ward prevented
him doing so by placing her hand over
his mouth. There are many rumors in
circulation about the whole affair, one
being to the effect that the friends oflhe

to be gwen to the public until after her
death has taken place

Philadelphia Times.

The people of Princess Anne, Cristield
and other parts of Somerset county are
greatly excited over the reported con-
fession of woman who is now on her
deathbed of having murdered man
eighteen years ago. Two negroes were
executed for the crime in 1866. The muir
der occurred some time during the latter
part of 1862, the victim being Azariah
Dougherty, who was found dead in his
store. As was then supposed, his money
was the incentive for the crime. Suspi-
cions rested upon two colored men, who
were arrested soon after the murder was
perpetrated., but no money was found in
their possession and none could be found
about the premises Of Dougherty. 1t was
generally supposed that some other par
ty or parties were accessory to the crime,
bat time failed to unravel the mystery
and the men arrested were soon after
placed on trial for murder and found
guilty and sentenced to be hanged.

THE FARMER.
some Timely SuggostioEs for the Agri-
culturailst.


On extra culture of soil, Professor
Roberts of Cornell university says;
Herein am satisfied lies the secret OF
England's success IN raising large crops.
1t would take away the breath of a prai-
RE farmer TO hear even an Englishman's
enumeration of the "spuddings," the
"grubbings," the twitchIngs," the har-
rowing, the cross borrowings, the roll
ings, the crushings that heavy clay
field is subjected TO before it is con-
sidered ready for wheat. What is all
that for? Simply to unlock the full store
house of nature. That it is full has been
proven time and again. BY actual anal
ysis il is found that an average soil con-
tains in the first six inches plant food
enough for from fifty to one hundred
and fifty full crops OF grain. l do not
desire TO discourage the purchase and
use of fertilizers, but what l do protest
against is purchasing on time CONNER
cial manures at forty dollars per ton, to
enrich cloddy fields already rich in plain
food, locked up, it is true, but there
none the less, only awaiting little ju-
dicious application of brain and muscle
to set ii free. II these hastily jotted facts
and impressions are the means Of Undue
ing my fellow farmers to remove some of
the useless trees and fences, or to give
the fields an additional cross narrowing
or two before carting in the seed, and
asking the Lord TO bless the labor of
their hands, my object viii have been
attained.

With frequent paintings through the
season, dish of boiled green corn can
be had on the table daily, after the first
mess until late in October. As it is de-
servedly regarded TO be one of the most
desirable that can be enjoyed, there is
no reason why people with even small
pot of land should not indulge in it.
There is now an early variety of sugar
corn for the first planting that we have
found excellent. 1t is called the Extra
Early Crosby Sugar" A single planting
of this is sufficient, to be followed by
Stowell's Evergreen Sugar, which is the
best variety for the general crop that we
have yet found, and have raised it for at
least twenty-five years. A planting
should take place every ten or twelve
days, and the season will require from
six to seven crops altogether. The first
planting can be put in now, and followed
at these periods into June. These will
give daily supply until frost in the
latter part Of October.

Poultry on the Farm.

The tine is coming when the eastern
cities will have to depend mainly on the
poultry raising states of the great west
for the bulk of their eggs and dressed
poultry. We have a ready market in
every city and town all over the West for
eggs and poultry at fair prices, and the
people are awaking to the intesests OF
poultry culture, as we see by the gIadu-
al but steady change from "dungbills''
and mongrels ard lately to the improved
breeds. The farmers of the West have
the best facilities of any class in the
country for raising all kinds of poultry
advantageously. The broad fields and
rich meadows of the farmers homestead
offer tempting food to the turkey in the
way of hoppers; ducks will find in the
pond, marsh or stream aquatic food,
grubs and Larvae; geese can forage over
the roadsides or by lanes of the farm,
and hens can pick up great deal in the
garpen and orchard that prey on vegeta-
ton and fruit trees. Now with a little
attention to comfortable quarters for win
ter, and few dollars wisely spent for a
pair or two of thoroughbred fowls, the
farmer can realize more profit on his
poultry than on any live stock kept on
the farm,

NJ. LABoucHERE says that the heart OF
King Louis XIV, having been brought
to England, was shown TO the late Prof.
auckland. The heart looked like a

he put il between his teeth, and then, to
the horror of the spectators, he swal-
lowed it. The remains of Prof. Buck
