Mackay and the Postal TELEGRAPH
The election Of John w. Mackay,
the Nevada millionaire, to be . d.
rector of the Postal Telegraph Com
pany, and the further fact that he
has put half . million into the
stock Of tho corporation, furnish
pretty good proof that he means to
give Jay Gould fight for the tele-
graphic Business of the country.
Mackay is something more than an
arrifereus accident; he is q man Of
brains and enterprise. and he is ca
pable Of giving Gould shake that

day. Deputy Marshal Racer had
quite all exciting trip in Sequatchie

named Hawkins. who was charged
with violating the internal revenue
law. Learning that he was at church,
where protracted meeting was i'll

deavored to spy out his man. His
appearance at the church door mad

for some means of escape, each one

before the officer espied his man and
commanded him to halt. Again the
frightened men thought their time
had come, and then each made a
break for freedom, jostling the
screaming women and children in
their frantic efforts to get out Of the
building. The entire church was in
an uproar, and the women seemed
crazed with fear. At last the officer

when convinced that all were not in

Sensible Negroes.

The colored folks of this city held
an Indignation meeting this week at
the court house to express their views
relative to the late decision Of the u.
s. Supreme Court invalidating the
Civil Rights bill. Some of the talk
was revolutionary, while others re-
garded it as a matter simply of social
inequality, that the negroes had the
same civil rights as the whites but
could only become socially equal by
getting property and education. The
latter view seemed to prevail and the
meeting broke up with the resolution
that there should be less loafng in sa.

less potatoes with this than any other
pillow we have here in use. In picking
up your potatoes, assert them as you
do so; put the large eating potatoes in

selves. To make your kiln right in
the patch where grown, if convenient
to you, is the easiest, but anywhere
you may choose. Raise the ground
by throwing up the dirt in circle as
large as you deem necessary. Take
four pieces of board, about four inch
es wide and FIVE feet long, and drive
down in the centre of this circle, max.
ing a hollow box. Lay some old
pieces Of boards all around this on top
of the raised ground. On these
boards put about six inches of grass,
pulled out of the corn. On this grass
now you put down your potatoes.
Let all of your large and eating pota-
toes he put on the south side, and
small potatoes and strings for seed
put on the north side. Pile them
up in a cone around this box funnel
until you think your pile is large
enough. About $50 bushels are
enough to put in one kiln. You eau
make them as much smaller as you
like. After piling the potatoes up
snugly, cover them all over six inches
deep with grass. Then stand corn
stalks all around the kiln close together
until you cannot see the grass. Now
commence at the bottom and throw on
dirt until you reach the top all around,
having the dirt at the top six inches
thick. Leave open this box funnel at
the top. Put shelter over the kiln,
sloping back north. Let it come close
to the ground, say in two Or three feet.
After your potatoes have been up
three or four weeks, if you think it is
going to be bitter cold, you can stop
up the hole at the top by sticking
twist of grass in it, and taking it out
on warm days until cold sets in for
good. Then cover the hole with dirt.
When you wish to 60 into the kiln,
open Il hole on the south side large
enough to admit your hand and arm.
Take out what you wish and stuff the
hole opened with grass and cover with
dirt. Now, by being cautious in keep
ing the hole closed, you can go into
your potatoes almost at any time with
safety and never lose potato, and
have potatoes as long as you may wish
them, if you have them put up and
kept in this way.

Whether or not Crowley threw up his cons

Crowley by the readiness of the average
