when the teacher stood up to hear our
Sunday School lesson the next day,
cause he was tired where the dog bit
him, I said 'sick-em,' in a whisper,
when his back was turned, and he
jumped clear to the Bible class, and
put his hand around to his coat tails as
tho he thought the Uncle Toms Cabin
party were giving a matineer in the
church.-The Sunday. school lesson
was about the dogs licking the sores of
Lazarus, and the teacher said we must
not confeund the good dogs of Bible

He Approved of It.

A very pretty story IS told at the ex-
pense of Boston architect, in whose
book Of the future different version
from the following will probably be
given, although this is the true one.
He started on voyage Of discovery
and observation through Europe, anil,
that his valuable thoughts and COM
ments might not be lost to world
needing enlightenment, he took with
him few select disciples and stenog-
rapher. The party travelled from gal
lery to gallery with profound convic-
ton that the true place in art of the
various treasures could not be satisfac-
torily defined until this master had de-
Gvered his opinion upon them. even
although the judgment of centuries had
alread passed upon them. In one of
the most famous galleries Of Italy the
band paused before an Apollo which
had compelled the admiration Of the
whole civilized world. Strange"
unused the architect, loftily, "we are
obliged to come here when we want to
see anything good. This certainly
appears to be good statue. Yes"
he added, in tone which indicated
that the statue had waited all these
centuries to be fully and forever stamp
ed with approval, and that he, now
that the time was fully ripe, was the
fate-appointed man to speak its sem
tence. Eyes, II is good statue
Then he turned to the scribe, with a
wave of the hand. Put that down!"
he commanded, and walked on, follow
ed by his admiring and awe-struck dis
ciples The Apollo remained.

Feeding Frosted Corn.

To make the most of it, after the
frost, it should have been cut up and
run through large feed cutter, stalks.
ears, and all, cutting it into very short
lengths; and, if one had silo, putting
it in as fast a possible and preserving
it under pressure. But not having "A
silO in which 10 preserve it, it would
then pay best, after cutting short, To
feed ii as fast as the cattle could eat it.
At that time the cattle will eat every
thing clean, and the ears, which are
not probably injured by the frost, con-
tain nearly as much nutriment as when
ripe, and this nut iHrnf is in the most
digestible condition. Nuen the kernel
is in the dough state it is easily digest
ed, and we have found, by experiment,
will make as much beef as it ever can.
A good crop will make 800 or more
pounds, live weight, to the acre in that
condition. In the case Of frost, what
can not be profitably used at once,
should be cut up and shocked, To
prevent the drying up OF the stalk too
rapidly, and when ready TO feed, run
through the cutter. This reduces it
all into fine chat, mixing the fine and
coarse parts, so that cattle will eat it
up clean. If there is too much rough
fodder for the grain, it is a good
plan to mix with this cut feed three
to five pounds of wheat bran or midd-
lings for each steer per day; but when
to be obtained at moderate price,
linseed or cotton-seed meal, in small
quantity, say lbs, of the oil meal for
each steer. This will balance the corn
ration so as to give it the best effect, --

creasing. The table reports a tidy won

Watched in Savannah.
The interest in the contest for the Gov
ernorship continued undated yesterday.
The general impression was, after sleep
ing over the matter, that some
satisfactory arrangement would have
been reached by the friends
If the leading candidates. This
notion. however, was speedily dispelled
BY the early telegraph dispatches from
Atlanta, and it soon became apparent
that the second days balloting would be
equally as fruitless as the first days
The clOseness of ths- contest led most
people to Conclude that it was
not possible for either of the two
most prominent candidates to secure
the prize, and while the relative increase
and decrease of the strength of each, as
exhibited by the various ballots, led 10
varied cOnjectures, the conclusion reached
was that the convention would again adj
iourn for the day without making choice.
This proved to be the case, ana
the most sanguine friends oil
both Bacon and BOynton were
prettv we'll satisfied last night that the
coveted prize would fall to the lot OF the
much talked Of but hitherto unannOunced
dark horse.
RedOubled interest was exhibited during
the day, and the newspaper offices
were frequently visited by those anxious
| TO learn the latest news. and the MORN
ING NEWS bulletin was eagerly scanned
by the supporters of the rival aspirapts.

to the result of the struggle will be allay-
