Pdiately afterwards he be sent to Lyons.
In view of this answer, Kropotkine, after
telling the commissioner that it was not
alone to be able to attend his brother-in-
laws funeral that he had asked for a
delay, but assure himself concerning his
wife and give her the care which her
position called for, declared that he was
ready togo at once. .. ...ts--f T.. T.
The inhabitants of Thonon exhibited
much sympathy for him at his departure.
On his arrival at Lyons he was commit
ted to the St. Paul prison on two charges
first of having been connected with an
association betw cen Frenchmen and
foreigners, whose objectis socialupheaval
and whose methods are assassination
and pillage; second, of having been the
chief instigator and organizer of this
association in France, and especially of
having visited Lyons to foment revolt in
secret meetings. I
Of the ridiculous allegations upon
which these charges are based the fol-
lowing are fair specimens: ~ that
Kropotkine, replying to young man of
st. Etienne who had urged him to start
the revolution, SAID the time was not yet
ripe: (2) that he wrote to a committee
of workingmen, who had invited him to
attend private reunion, that he could
not give his presence at any but public
meeting: (3) that he wrote to the "Droit
Social" declining to become contributor
to that journal AZ that he corrected
the proofs of a pamphlet on Nihillsm,
the author of which had requested him
to point out whatever material errors he
might discover And yet, held upon
such trifes as these, the French magis-
tracy declined to accept for him the
proffered bail of no less person than
the eminent radical and millionaire
member of the British house of COM
mons, Joseph Cowen Of Newcastle.-San

A Brutal Proceeding.

From L'Intransigeant and LIE Revolte
Liberty translates the following details
of the French governments outrageous
arrest Of Pierre Kropotkine:
On Friday, December Is, Madame
Kropotkine, wishing to go from Thonon
to Geneva to consult doctor in behalf
of her brother, who was victim of lung
disease, made arrangements to take the
train leaving a few minutes after 4
o'clock, and was already in one of the
railroad carriages, when the district at
torney, accompanied by a few policemen,
invited her to step out again to be search
{ ed. Madame Krapotkine asking him for
what reason this search was demanded
he replied that she was accused Of trans
mitting her husbands corresponds nee
with Anarchists living in Geneva, that
the orders given by the examining mag
istrate was explicit, and that she would
have to follow him in order that they
might be carried out. In vain did she
explain why she was going to Geneva,
and that her business in that city was of
vital importance, involving if not the
salvation of her brothers life at least
its preservation for as long a time as
possible; in vain did she hand over the
little basket which she carried to the at
torney with the request that he inspect
it at once, that she might not miss the
train; he only replied with the order,
several times repeated, to follow him in
the name of the law.
She was then led into one of the
rooms of the depot, while Kropotkine
who had accompanied her to the train
and had witnessed the whole scene, was
kept in sight by few policemen in the
waiting room. 1t took an hour and a
half to find Thonon woman willing tC
undertake the contemplate task Of
searching her, and even then, in the alb
sence of anyone else to execute the ex
: pIicit orders of NJ. Rigot, the examining
magistrate at Lyons, it was the police
commissioners wife who at the bidding
of her husband had to begin the explor
alton of Madame Krapotkine's person
The explicit orders of this rascal having
been executed and his wife having
brought him, as the result of a half
hours search, the compromising papers
destined for the Geneva Anarchists
consisting of two numbers of the Rus
sian journal called the Golos, two books
Zone French and the other Russian), &
memorandum book and a wallet. The
attorney then declared to Kropotkine
that they were going to search his. dwell
ing. Kropotkine observed that such
a search had probably been made in his
absence; the official rejoined:
"Do you think, NJ. lie Prince, that We
would ever consent to violate your domi
cile in your absence?"
Nevertheless, on reaching his house
accompanied by the attorney and his
subordinates, Kropotkine saw that the
police had been there; everything hac
been upturned, downturned and ran
sacked. Although Krapotkine had warn
ed the officers that there was dying
man in the house, his brother-in-law, &
young man of 81, confined to his bee
with tuberculosis, whose death the
slightest emotion might precipitate, the
commissioner rushed brusquely into the
chamber, compelledtthe sick man to rise
and made minute examination of every
4 nook and corner of the apartment. Fol

The LABOR ENQUIRER or its readers Let

Mr.. w. r. Talley, a noted melon eulturist of
Brooks county, Georgia tells this among other
things that he knows about watermelone:
Mr.. Talley is a strong advocate Of the water
melon and has experimental with Il In more ways
than one. He says that wateTmelons not only
afford excellent pasturage for hogs but that they
are good preventive OF cholera. He has never
lost hog from cholera since he has been plant
ing melons. After all the marketable melons
have been gathered, he throws those that are
left into heaps. taking pains TO break every mel
on as he casts il into the heap. In . few days
they begin TO sour and ferment, and the hogs
prefer them in this state TO any other. Each
heap finally becomes mass of sour mush and
the hogs viii continue TO eat it as long as there
is piece of rind or a seed left. Melons thrown
together this way will furnish all the food neces-
sary for two months or more. In fact, the hogs
will not leave them for anything else, and will
fatten every day Mr.. Talley says that he Is sal
isfed from experience that 1t would pay every
farmer who raises hogs to plant q few acres in
watermelons for them every year. He pastures
his hogs on the remains of his melen crop
through the months of August and September,
and they get as fat as they can roll He does
not attempt TO account, upon any known theory
or scientific principle, for the fact that melons
are preventive OF cholera in hogs, but he says
that experience has satisfied him that the same
is fact, nevertheless. At one time the bssgs of
a neighbor OF his, separated from his ohls by a
cross fence, nearly all died with the cholera,
while his never showed the slightest symptoms
of the disease. His hogs were pastured on wa
termelons, while his neghbor's were NOT FL
nally he gave his neighbor the privilege OF haul
ing as many melons as he wanted to bis sick:
hogs, and as soon as the melons were given them:
the deadly havoc OF the cholera ceased. Mr.:
Talley furnishes other instances which seeh tol
clearly establish the fact that the watermelon Is
not only good fattening food for hogs. bat .:
sure preventive of cholera.

A fruit firm in, St. Louis, Messrs. p. M
Kiely 81 Co, recently issued circular to-
fruit growers showing how the early fruits
and vegetables produced along the Cult
coast stood in the st. Louis market Iast
year. Some quotations from this circu,,
lar may be of interest to the vegetable
and fruit growers of Southern Gsorgia
and Florida at this time, and may also be
useful in giving them an insight into the
nature of the competition they are to en-
counter. from the countries west of them
and equally well adapted to the growth
of early fruit.
The circular states that the first cab,
bages arrived the latter part of February
from New Orleans, soft and small, but
sold for a. and 45 per crate, which was
considered high price for the poor quala
ity. As better cabbages began to sppeaf
from New Orleans and Mobile, the price,
improved, and month later were; e5.5e

being a better article than those from
