A Spanish Court Episode.

London Life vouches for this story
of the Due de Sesto, King Alphonsot
intimate companion: "A year or 81
ago member of the Spanish diplo
matte service married a youny lady
Of great beauty. Shortly after hi,
marriage, he was somewhat surprised
to receive anotice that he had been
appointed to a high position in Cuba,
and that he was expected to under.
take his new duties without delay.
The time was so short tina. he was OBJ
liged to leave his wife behind, and
accordingly prepared to start at once
He bade farewell to his family and
left the house, and instead of leaving
Madrid he managed to miss his train,
and returned home somewhat late in
the evening. On arriving he was
somewhat surprised to find the Due
de Sesto in possession; but Of course
took care not to express anyastonish-
ment. Presently he arose saying Ee
was going to see his wife. The duke
at this showed considerable perturba-
ton, and tried to dissuade him from
doing so. D What hsppened after this
seems to know, but the next
evening the inquisitiye Spaniard Was
found stabbed 10 death in his own
dining room. An inquiry, or an A.
pology for one, was held and a yer.

Patron Of Husbandry. ]

Patron Of Husbandry.1
Our enterprising friend, John Z.
Abney, Of Newton county, 20 tar as
we are.informed, Is the pioneer u this
comparatively new but important IN
dustry in this section Of the State
Early in the present season be pro-
cured an eyaporator and as soon a.
the fruit in his splendid orchard vas
sufficiently matured, he commenced
operations. He has recently brought
to Meridian some of the finest speei-
mems of dried or evaporated fruit ever
seen in the market, and sold every
pound at his own price. He is delight
ed with his success, and intends to an
crease the area of his already large
orchard with view to engaging more
extensively in the basinessa
The following, bearing upon this
subject was read by Amos Staaffer,
of Pa, at the Third National Agri-
cultural Convention, Chicago, in De
eember last: WaN
'The best method ofinGEeasing the
value of our domestic fruits, as L
comprehend it, consists in familiar
izing our farming community with
the simplicity and cheapness of the
evaporating process, and convincing
them that it is a legitimate, profitable,
and easy adjunct offarm or household
lab.r.
EYaporated fruit is worth from 200
to 400 per cent. advance over the
same fruit sun or oven dried, the Ia
Dor of preparing the fruit (Which is
the greatest item) being the same in
both cases. Theactual cost per pound
of finished product, without regard to
quality or value when prepased is
about the same.
Briefly stated, our farmer wives,
sons and daughters now exchange the
product of our orchards, with their
labor added, at q discount Of from 30
to 400 per cent. below the product of
the less intelligent colored laborer in
the tropics. At the village store or
warehouses of the metropolis Of the
West the unequal exchange is daily
made; two or three pounds Of dried
apples 90 for one pound offgs, dates,
raisins, currants, or prunes, while
our;dried peach in exchange is scarce
ly at par. That our domestic fruits in
themselves are superior to those of
the antipodes needs no further argu-
ment than a comparison of daily quo
tations between our evaporated fruits
and those offered by the tropics.
Every pound of evaporated apples
offered has value in Chicago equal
to about two pounds of tropical dried
fruits, while evaporated peaches read
ily command from three to four
pounds of currants, figs, dates, rails
ms, or prunes, etc., thus practically
reversing old customs and yalues. "
We are glad to notice our old friend
Abney taking the lead in the fruit
business. BY the words so to 400
per cent in the comparison stated
above, 10 to so per cent is certainly
meant, or the standard of 500 per
cent taken, in which case only could
there be discount of 50 great a per
cent. = Ed.

Salt for the Threat.

In these days when diseases of the
throat are so universally prevalent,
and in so many cases fatal, we feel it
our duty to say a word in behalf of
a most efieetual, if not positive cure
for sore throat. Fo: many wears
past, indeed, We may say during the
whole of a life of more than 40 years,
We have been subject TO dry, hack
ing cough, which is not only distress
ing to ourselves, but TO our friends
and those with whom We are brought
into business contact. Last fall we
were induced to try what virtue there
was in common salt. We commenced
by using it three times a day-morn-
ing, noon and night. WedissoIved a
large tablespoonful Of pure table salt
in about half small fumblerfuH of
water. With this We gargled the
throat most thoroughly just before
meal time. The result has been that
during the entire winter We were net
only free from colds and coughs, but
the dry, hacking cough had entiely
disappeared. We attribute these sat.
isfactory results solely to the use Of
salt gargle. and most cordially recon-
mend q trial Of il TO those who are
subject to diseases Of the throat.

Advantages Of Pasturing Hogs.

The improvement of the soil which
may be effected by pasturing hogs is
well worthy of cOnsiderate attention.
There is much land in the older set
tied portions sf the country which is
worn out by long cropping and for the
restoration of which the manure sup
ply is limited. By applying enough
fertilizer to these lands to produce 4
good crop of clover, the land might
then be pastured with hogs and its
fertility SO increased as to greatly i'm
prove its preductiveness. a glance
at the fertilizing material contained
in clover will make plain how bene-
fetal such a course must be. A mod.
erately good stand of clover would
afford two tons of hay in one season,
and a good growth would afford three
or four tons at two cuttings. But
suppose the clover produces at the
rate Of two tons of hay per acre.
These two tons according to analyses
by Professor Voelker, of England,
would contain 112 pounds of nitrogen,
which at twenty cents per pound |
would be worth $2240; twenty-six
pounds of phosphoric acid, which at
ten cents per pound would be worth |
81. 60: and sixty-seven pounds of pot
ash which at seven cents per pound |
would be worth S1.69; making total
of S29.69 as the value of the ferti-
LIKING material contaiRedin the hay |
of one acre of clover Bghaying this |
clover consumed by1hogs ON the
ground nearly all the feFtilizing ele-
ments would be returned to the soil,
as no very large amount would be re-
moved in the flesh of hogs: Three
very Observation-Disclosures would attend |
the pasturing of hogs; the fertility Of
the soil would be rapidly Improved, |
the cost of fproductien would be great
ly diminished, aud superior article
of pork would be produced. Are not
these advantages sufficiently great to
induce more general adoption of the
practice of pasturing hogs, instead of
shutting them up in filthy and small
pens? The flesh of the pig when rear:
ed in cleanly manner is unexcelled in
flavor by that of any domesticanimals
reared on the farm. By improving
the wholesomeness and flavor of the
pork the consumption would be in
creased, so that farmers would find a
ready market near home for all that
they could produce. The bacon made
from pasture fed hogs would be de
'idedly better than that from the
'ver-fat hogs. On the whole, shere
s much to be gained by pasturing
logs instead of keeping them in pens. /

Did You Borrow this Paper ?

Readersl have you borrowed this
paper of your neighbor? If 50, put

You might as well do either as bor-

it convenient every day about meal
time to drop in and Sc 1T himself at
neighbor's table You might as well
do that as to avail yourself every week
of his intellectual food, without pay

post-ofice, the papers are opened and
distributed, and you make it conven
lent to hang around and get hold of
the paper and read~it, perhaps, even
before the owner has chance to get
hold of it. He may be too polite to

be sure you lesson yourself in his es-

People who have been bolstered up
and levered all their lives are seldom
good for anything in a crisis. When
misfortune comes they look around for
something to cling to or lean upon. If
the prop is not there, down they go.
Once down, they are as helpless as
eapsized turtles, or unhorsed men in
arInor, and cannot find their feet again
without assistance.
Such silken fellows no more resemble
self-made men, who have fought their
way 10 position, making difficulties their
stepping stones, and deriving determi-
nation from defeat, than vines resemble
oaks, or sputtering rush-lights the stars
of heaven. Efforts persisted into
achievements train 3 man to self-reIi-
ance, and when he has proven to the
world that he can trust himself the
world will trust him.

Notes and Queries.


Lady Sarah Cadogan, daughter Of

married at the age of thirteen to
Charles, second Duke of Richmond,
aged eighteen. It is said that this
marriage was a bargain to cancel a
gambling debt between their parents.
Lady Sarah being a co-heiress The
young Lord March was brought from
college and the little lady from the
nursery for the ceremony, which took
place at the Hagae. The bride, was
amazed and silent, but the husband
exclaimed: "Surely you are not go-
ing to marry me to that tsdowd !"
Married, however he was and his tn
tor then took him off to the Continent,
and the bride went back to her
mother. Three years later Lord March
returned from his travels, but, hav-
ing such a disagreeable recollection
of his wife, was in no hurry to Join
her, and went the first evening to the
theatre. There he saw lady so beau
tiful that be asked who She was
