HUNTING "A FIGHT.

The following correspondence, which full
ly explains itself, has been recently publish

local interest, we transfer it to our columns:

liar IN. G.. Gonzales) who represents the

me you would correct any misstatements
this hired liar might make so far as they
related to you or your connection with my
difficulty with Mr.. Heron on the 2lst ult.
l have waited for more than twenty days
and have watched carefully the issues OF
| the Nelcs and Courier and have seen no word
or line from you. You have not kept your
promise to me, and it seems to be more con-
genial with your taste to "hole with the
hare and run with the hounds" and cher
ish the faint and Pickering hope that, you
may be permitted at some day to wear
some "dead mans Shoes" You came to
me the morning after the difficulty and
kindly offered to become my bondsman, and
said that you would have voted for my ia

son in good manners. Are you too old
Major? If you plead antiquity for your
self, then my father requests me to say that
will be he most happy to meet you, and
you know, Major, he is many years your
senior. Please Sir bear in mind that "a

of the law. Surely Sir, you and your coad-

PAREGORIC.-If were disposed to curse
any mother by the "crossness," of her chill
dren, might advise the free use of this
fashionable article. 1t is used with the false
idea that it will aid the mother in keeping
her babe asleep, or in quieting.1 Now, it
will do no such thing, on the whole, but
the contrary, No one ever saw a babe that
had taken much of it, that was not unusu-
ally ''cross," fretful, peevish and very un-
amiable! To give it, is like borrowing
money at an exorbitant rate, then at a high
er rate to pay the first, and so on till one is
bankrupt The sleep supposed to be OBJ
tained is not sleep but stnpor, which must
so "unstring the nerves" as to increase the
irritabillity and wakefulness. 1t consti-
pates, locks the whole powers up, so to speak,
so that natural action is impossible. 1t
produces general disorder in the system,
Including costiveness, which is relieved by
physic which as certainly aggravates the
difficulty, growing worse and worse by each
application. (How long will it take to re-
cover at that rate?)
But what shall be given? That depends
on what is the disturbance. If the babe is
wakeful from pain in the stomach, let that
organ rest for a time. If there is pain in
the bowels give an injection Of warm water.

cry from pain as well as hunger-nurse it.
Remove the cause of unrest but do not stu
quiet, chance to work! tits better for the
mother to sleep. If the babe has common
sense, it need not sleep all of the time. 1t
has right to look about part of the
time, as we'll as adults.-Dr. j. II. Huho-

THE CONDUCT OF THE CoRPsE.-Not
long ago widow stood at the side door OF
baggage-car watching the stowage of her
husbands corpse. AS she turned away
another lady, also in mourning, appeared
with dog, which was intrusted to the care
of the baggage-master.
Several times, as the train stopped at
stations, the owner of the dog approached
the car with solicitous interrogatories about
the brute's condition, until the patience of
the baggage functionary was about ex haust-
ed. Atlength the widow sidled up to him
and asked if her poor dear was all right.

gage master without looking around. "And
another time you ship poor dear over this
road he goes by freight. l don't mind
helping woman, but won't have no SAT-
fron-colored beast Of obscure ancestry spew-
ing around the floor of this car and howl

Just then he turned and saw his blunder.

ued, stammering. 81 thought yours was

corpse has acted like a perfect gentleman. y

A LEGAL POINT IN THE LIME KILN
CLUB.-M. Quad, in the Detroit Free Press :
An official communication from the branch
lodge at Greenville, S. c., contained the fol-
lowing inquiry: %sbtyE@ssAa
{ aInS case colored man sits on aSury
where another colored man is accused OF
stealing hog, and all the proof offered is
that the officer found fresh pork on the,pris-
oner's premises, is it the duty OF the jury
man to acquit or convict ~
"Dat am VERY simple case," said the
President, as he laid down the letter. "De
jury must take de groun' dat de missin' hog
got drownd by de oberfow of de Mississippi
river, an dat de fresh pork found in de cab
in of de prisoner was some dat, he traded
>moonshine whisky fur ober at Spartanburg.
De verdict am not guilty, an de prisoner
am discharged"
Some weeks since Waydown Beebee an
nounced in open meeting that he had dis
covered direct motion of the earth from
north to south, and he predicted very poor
cabbage crop in consequence. The subject
was given to the committee on Astronomy
to investigate and report, with power to ex-
at this meeting the said committee an
nounced the completion of it's labors. Itap-
peared that Brother Bebee had discovered
the new motion in his. own house. All the
furniture leaned to the south, and the baby
was aslconstantly falling down in that direc-
tiOn. A jar of soft soap had worked across
the kitchen in one night, and the family dog
had to lie with his head to the east or west:
The committee had visited the house and
made careful survey, and the result was
the discovery of the fact that the south side
of Brother Beebee's cabin had sunk down
eleven inches and was still going. The the
ory ola new motion was therefore disproved,
and the cabbage crop was safe.

Three essential mandates of the Code have
been flagrantly violated in the within note
To answer after the manner of the Code
would therefore be an innovation upon p es-
make. Furthermore, it does not comply
with the rules and requirements which pre-
vail amongst business men and strangers,
consequently 1 am here estopped from say
ing what would have been agreeable to me
if not satisfactory to the author. The mate
rial allegations as understand them, are SO
utterly without foundation as to facts your
hypothesis so unreasonable, abnormal and
oVer-wrought, when seriously considered,
that they have excited no feelings which
point me to the field Of honor as the proper
place for adjudication. Very respectfully,

RED BRAZILIAN aRTICHOKE.

This plant was introduced into the United
States two years ago and distributed by
the Agricultural Department at Washing
ton in small quantities to farmersa IN differ
ent parts of the country as an experiment
to test their value as stock food. The eX-
pertinent has proven to be of more benefit
to the agriculturists of the, Southern and
Western States than anything the Depart
ment has ever done for them-it being
demonstrated by all who planted them as
yielding more food per acre than anything
ever introduced in the country. This plant
is very different from the old Jerusalem
Artichoke that grows spontaneous over the
country. It grows on medium land in
fertility from to 10 feet high furnishing
heavy branches and foliage, which enables
it to feed heavily on aerial food, causing it to
be less dependent on the ground for susie
nance. Its heavy foliage also causes it to
keep the ground clear of grass and weeds,
making cultivation light, and the shade
furnished also keeps it from being 50
severely damaged by drought. All farmers
that have seen it growing think it to be as
good renevator towards enriching land as
Clover, as it grows luxuriantly on thin
land, and the heavy foliage turned under
would amount to as much or more than
a crop of clover; besides, the crop of roots
furnished would amount to more than a
crop of corn for your hogs and you have
no trouble in getting a stand, which farmers
very often do with clover. The roots grow
and resemble Irish potato, both in size and
shape, it being more palatable. They will
lie in half inch of the surface of the
ground all winter without sprouting. or
rotting. This enables the farmer to allow
his hogs to run on them all winter and
gather their own food. Its average yield as
we'll as the testimony of LeDuc, is from
800 to 1,50O bushels per acre. This is from
20 to 9Otimes as many bushels Of artichokes
as you could raise bushels of corn on your
best land, and % to 80 bushels of anything
that stock relish and fatten rapidly on is
certainly worth more than one bushel OF
corn, besides it doesn't cost half as much
labor to cultivate and no labor to gather.
They should be planted early in the Spring,
from 10 to 12 inches apart, in rows three
feer apart; cover and cultivate as you do
corn. This is undoubtedly the most prolific
and desirable plant ever introduced in the
country, las st furnishes winter food tor
hogs that has long been wanted and needed
by the hog raiser.
This information is furnished by Mr..
John J. McGavock, of Nashville, Tennessee.

SETTING OUT VEGETABLE PLANTs.-I
have neighbOr who grows plants OF cab
bage, celery, tomato, pepper, ETC., TOR sale.
On rainy days in May people come under
streaming umbrellas to get the plants they
wish to set out. 1t clashes" me to see how
they mismanage. 1t is all very well for the
plants to be carried in the rain, if they can
be set out without miring the leaves or har-
dening the ground; but very often the ten
der tomato, and even egg-plants are taken
along in the cold1rain to be@set' out at the
same time as the others. Of course they
lose color or change color, showing that
growth has stopped, and once stoppedit does
not recover in time to gain the benefits OF
the fine weather of early June. The plants
become too sick to grow, and never make
any good returns. noticea few buta slow,
ly increasing number of persons who plant
before the rain, when atrampling of the bed
does good instead of harm, making the fine
mold still finer. They carry their plants in
a bucket with a little water covering the
roots. Well filled with this water they do
not wilt, even in sunshine, if the ground is
so fine as to close up we'll around the roots {;
the sunshine on the contrary starts growth
promptly new rootlets quickly issue in the
fine, humid soil, and growth goes on almost
unchecked. A great advantage of this meth,
Od is that no leaves are SolleQ ana Spolled
by being handled with muddy fingers, nor
are the stems bent and strained by being
carried by the neck or waist, head and feet
hanging and swinging about. Some of the
more painstaking and successful use the ex-
cellent precaution of laying paper or leaves,
or rags, or slate, or glass, like a little patch
Of carpet upon the soil around each plant,
and then watering from can with a fine
nose. This secures rinsing and cleansing
of the leaves while no splash is thrown
against them, and the surface close around
them is not hardened or crusted, yet it is
gradually made moist by the water soaking
inward from the edge of this mulch. In
this way, too, the soil remains moist as we'll
as loose The first care in transplanting
should be to prevent the plant from faging,
by keeping it growing on planting it when
the air conditions are most favorable to its
constitution as, usually, about June to 10,
for tomatoes, ETC., and toto Is for egg plants.
