A Fire Alarm in the Rep. once.

On Thursday afternoon gas explo-
sion in the Repository Office created an
alarm of fire for few moments. "It
seems Mr.. James Reynolds, superjnten-
dent of the Canton Gas Company, and
an assistant were working at pipe re-
pairing under the ground floor, with
candle burning to give them light on
the gas question, and some escaped gas
blew up at the candle and got so hot at
the slight, that 1t caught fire. Mr.. Ray
ty through hole in the floor, but the
blaze followed after them, and burned
ferOciOusly to the injury Of the elegant
fixtures and furniture In the sanctum.
The alarm spread, and the neighbors
came in and sOused things with water
80 that the building was injured but lit
tie by fire when the gas had all burned
up."

THE CAssAvA-ITs VALUE. sc.

l.. G. Mattox, of Homersville, Ga,
writes the Waycross Reporter:
have cultivated the cassava for thirty
years, and find it most valuable plant.
have never measured or weighed it to see
how much it would produce per acre, but
can say the quantity is immense. have
always fertilized it highly. The top is
the part have always planted. Indeed,
do not know whether the potatoes the
roots) would come up or not. 1t blooms
and has seed vessels or capsules, about
the size of a toy marble, in which are con-
tanned, if remember correctly, three
seeds in as many lobes of the capsule
these seed look as though they would
come up. planted them once but the
weather was not favorable and they did
not come. The cassava is one of the
greatest starch plants known, and all
that is necessary to obtain the starch is to
reduce it to powder, after pealing, by
grating and put into water; stir well,
pour the water through sieve to catch
the coarser PARTICLES; let the water stand
in a vat until the starch settles, then pour
off the water and dry the starch in the
sun, when it is ready for use. The coarser
particles caught in the seive may be dried,
ground and bolted, and put to various
uses, the same as wheat -four. The graf
ing is the most difficult, to do which /
have made CRATER that may be run by
horse or steam power, and it does the
work rapidly. The cassava is not only
good for starch and to take the place Of
wheat -four, but as food for stock it can
not be surpassed. Hogs will not eat po-
tatoes when they can get cassava. 1t
does not rot in the ground as the potato,
but will lie in the mud for month and
be sound. Idug some this morning, which
have been in the wet ground nearly COW
cred with water all this winter, and it was
sound. The most difficult part of It's cul-
ture is to keep the seed-its tops,
through the winter, which may be done
by banking in moderately dry earth and
sheltering from heavy rains with boards,
or by throwing straw or corn fodder on
the bank in sufficient quantity to turn the
water off the bank.

FLORIDA CABINET WOOD.


Now that national publicity has been
given to the theory of com5ag famine in
cabinet woods at preseass tasa. we are
hearing OF the resources of all sections of
the country to supply acceptable substi-
tutes for walnut and other woods that are
becoming scarce. A correspondent of the
northeastern Luaabernadn writes: The
yellow pine has for some time been we'll
known as very useful wood for flooring
and dimension stuff. bridge and frame
timber, but it is now finding it's way to the
eye of taste as one Of the most beautiful
Of veneering woods. 1t not only presents
most beautiful surface, but admits of
very high degree Of polish as well. re-
fer to the irregular portions when the
grain is not straight, and when the con-
volutlon causes twisting out and in of the
fibre, that is the finest thing in that line
that we remember to have seen in any
veneering. The color is bright yellow,
and charming from its originality. 1t
also presents very delightful contrast
with black walnut, and any of the darker
woods. 1t is getting to be quite an ordi:
nary veneering in the South for such cars
as are built there, and it certainly will
come into general use and have an ex-
tended run elsewhere. It's merits will
certainly insure it great prominence.
The magnolia is a very fine finishing
timber, not only on account Of it's inhe-
rent beauty, but likewise by reason Of the
extreme fineness of its grain and its sus-
ceptibility of very high degree of polish.
When it becomes known, as it surely must
now, it will be in great requisition for all
those uses where high degree of polish
and close, firm texture are demanded.
see that imitation ebony is becoming
much used recently. 1t would seem to
me that the magnolia is just the species
Of wood to make the imitation ebony
from. 1t seems to fill all the requirements
and it grows in inexhaustible quantities
in the hammocks of Florida, and can thus
be produced at very low figures.
The red or sweet bay is another orna-
mental wood, which is practically mex
haustible in Florida. 1t is substantially
the same as mahogany, and can be used
in the same way, for the same purpose as
the Honduras mahogany. In fact, we see
no reason why it should not receive the
appellatiop of American mahogany.

One of the sisterhood recently sent the
following vivid, warm-hearted epistle to
the editor of the Philadelphia ndepend-
ent:
Fifty years old to-day, and yesterday 1
heard myself called a young lady. It
startled me little, although the sensa-
ton was not an unpleasant one. To be sure
it was an old man Of eighty who spoke of
me in that unusual manner, and suppose
that did seem young to him. If he had
been hundred instead of eighty he
would have called me An infant, probably.

FARM AND GARDEN.

POOR LANDS ENRICHED BY CoMPOsTs.
Mr.. E. L. Grier, after visiting Mr.. Fur
mans field of cotton, where FIVE years ago
but eight bales of cotton were made on
sixty five acres, gave his views of the crop,
and the composts that enriched the soil,
in the Atlanta Consultation Mr.. Grier
is Secretary of the State Agricultural So
ciety of Georgia. He said the result was
simply astonishing. 81 never saw" said
be, "65 acres of such cotton in my life,
and / am an old farmer It was almost
incredible to believe that it stood on what
was Eve years ago the poorest of land.
The first field we entered was that he had
been testing for the full FIVE years. The
cotton seven feet high, and the limbs of
the stalks were interlocked. We might
have thrown our hats in any direction and
not one hat would have touched the
ground. Indeed, you could not see the
ground. The next lot had been improved
only three years, and the stalks were
about six feet high.n
"I believe that this land that made but
eight bales of cotton FIVE years ago will
make from ninety to one hundred bales"
s'And that amt all. On much of the
twelve acres of his land that he had
planted in oats, gathering 1000 bushels,
worth 5000 from the patch. After taking
off the oats he planted four acres in corn,
which yielded forty bushels to the acre,
or 100 bushels, worth $l00, and eight
acres in cotton, which viii yield nine
bales, worth $3.50. So that he gets 81, $50
worth of crops off his twelve acres. The
manure for it cost him % an acre, or say
$l20, and what is best of all, left the land
stronger and richer after the years cult
walton than before it.
"Every word he says is true, and the
results he has achieved are certainly most
admirable The chief beauty Of his plan
is that his compost is 80 cheap that any
farmer can afford it If he has or can get
the cotton seed. i is 80 sure that il pays
back its cost double and treble and ave
times over every season, besides enrich
ing the land yearly. It encourage the
farmer to take care Of his stock ard 70
buy more stock and better stock. for he
needs the stable manure for the conpoGE
heap" NJ.

Purple and crimson, and gold. and green,
Everywhere In profasion seen;
Autumn's tints all blended lie
Beneath q Furnished, gilded sky;
The restless river ever flows
Where charming beauty ever glows;
The bough Of the dark-green willow laves
Their emerald leaves in the musky waves:
The mock-bird sings glad sweet strain,
While the workman gathers the golden grain:
The sun with q thousand rays Of light
Filled the world with it radiance bright,
And beside the river where the willow grows,
And steals the breath Of the wild red rose
All on that beautiful autumn day
met and loved sweet Bessie Gray
With eyes and hair OF black, black brown.
And cheeks with crimson roses strowu
She won my heart and held it there,
Till growing strong with my despair
bade her answer, If her heart
or my own passion shared part;
Aud there by the dark, dark winding river
We gave our hearts to each forever;
Our lives were one sweet dream Of love-
Until spirit from above
Came, and with it's icy breath
Whispered that IFS name was dSalh:
All, the hearts love we had given
Must at least on earth be riven:
On, how bitter was the day
When death wed sweet Bessie Gray
With the cheeks oft carest
Sinking gently on my breast.
While the arms of snow still fold
Bout me, yet while growing cold:
All! my heart was slowly breaking
With its never-cessing aching.
From the lips all parched and dry
Came the whispered word goodbye
Still her sweet eyes sought my own,
Till her very life had fiown:"
Autumn night and autumn day
Brought and took sweet Bessie Gray.
Down by the banks of the restless river
Which flows on and on forever,
Where the restless moaning wave
Breaks forever Der her grave:
Where the willows dropping low
Shade the flowers as they grow,
There hope to rest some day
With my darling Bessie Gray.
