Fowls IN confinement must have grass
provided for them, or they will not thrive.
Careless observers will be surprised to know
how much grass II hen eats in a year. A
small flock will keep down all vegetation In a
yard OF considerable size.
1T is only u preenhorn who is caught with
the idea that new and much-pufed variety
or fowls, just discovered or imported. is bet
ter than anything yet known. Only give the
old sorts good care aud they will do well
enough. and often a great deal better than
new sorts at fancy prices.
PoULTRl on large scale will doubtless
succeed when the same proportionate care is
given to several thousand fowls that the sue
cessful manager OF fifty gives his f1ocks.
That is, the man who succeeds with fifty can
succeed with thousand equally well by Civ
ing the thousand twenty times the care of
fifty. II not ready to do someth ng like that,
he had better not undertake poultry ON a
large scale.
A FRESH egg has clear yellow color when
held to the eye so that the sun or a bright
light can fall upon 1t. The fingers should in
clos, it SO that light ia excluded from passing
between the fingers and the shell. Eggs
which admit no light are bad. Dealers who
handle eggs in large quantities ''candle"
them-that is. examine them In dark room
by holding them near candle or lamp to
see II light will pass through.

Effect Of SW,. on Trees.

Df. Samuel Hope, of Atlanta, Ca, in a
paper to the American Pomological Society,
relates some of his observ atoms and ex peri
ences on this subject. He appears to be
fully convinced that apple. rear, and peach
trees, trained with high heads and not pro-
tected artiicially from the afternoon sun,
display irregular or fiattened trunks when
tie bark on this portion is not entirely dead.
This appearance. in his opinion, indicates a
great disturbance in the circulation of the
sap, which has become unduly heated, and
the deposition OF healthy woody structure.
In this climate small trees, IL trained high,
after transplanting make no growth unless
protected from the evening sun. The effect
OF the evening sun, as shown on his owu
grounds, has been very marked in pear
blight. Suggestions warranted by the writers
experience with fruit trees exposed to the
rays of the afternoon sun are briefly as fol.
lows; Nail two boards together and place
about the tree as to shade the exposed
side. Where hillsides are cultivated in ORCH
ards, aud terraccd, the needed protection
can mcasurably be obtained by planting on
the opes exposed to the morning sun but
shaded from the hot afternoon SUM- low
training and careful pruning, with view to
induce the growth of low limbs, will answer
oil purposes in more northern climates, hut
at the south nothing short of complete shade,
such as that afforded by the boxing recon-
mended, will fully serve with some trees.

Trepidation I'm Washington.

Colonel Mcclure, OF the Philadelphia
Times, telegraphs from Washington to his
paper as follows: While there is much
trcpidation among the Federal office
holders here, the greatest uneasiness caused
by the coming change OF party power Is
the fear Of men OF both high and low polit-
ical estate because OF the opened books and
scrutiDized documents certain TO follow.
IL Is an open secret that Gresham was
transferred from the Treasury before he
became warm in the chair because OF ex-
posures which were inevitable had he re-
NAMED, and il Is an open secret also that
there are a number OF subordinates in the
Treasury Department who can fearful
tales unfold when relieved OF politi-
cal dependence. Indeed, there Is hardly
department OF the Government that
is not in tremor over the probable over
hauling that is TO come. and the Pacific
railroad magnates. the Alaska fur-jobbers,
the great land-aDd subsidy-grabbers,a and
scores OF other great interests which have
long rloted in the Washington Hobbies and
public departments. are In despair at the
advent OF honest government. They know
what honest government means, and they
know that IL Is the death-knell OF the race
Of lordly iobbers who have ruled here
until they acquired utter contempt for
public interests. The prospective loss Oh
offices saddens many faces here Just now.
But the prospect OF open books Is to-day
sorrows crown OF sorrow In the capital OF
the republic.

MADAME Janish at the Theatre.

Last night Janisb, the Countess D'Arco,
commenced an engagement at the Theatre
which continues until Saturday night. A
full and critical audience was present to
see for the first time IN Richmond this
actress, who made her advent here under
favorable circumstances and fattering en-
dorsation. During the first act there was
tinge OF self-cous ciousness, which was natu-
raj In appearing before a strange audience,
hut in the second act this wore off entirely,
anaal through the remaining four acts,
in the unfortunate and disagreeable role OF
Camille, she appeared so natural AS to
stamp without mistake her right to EN-.
inence rs an actress; and when the curtain
fell she had firm hold on the hearts Of the
audience, and had won high praise. Her
presentation OF the character OF Ca
mile gave evidence OF the fact that
she bad studied it closely before dis
playing it. Her ideas OF the unfortunate
woman who in many things exhibited
noble qualities, were defined by genius
and fashioned so naturally that the picture
seemed real, and the audience evidenced
its appreciation in terms not to be mis-
taken. Madame Janish was twice called
before the curtain in response TO applause.
Mr. Frank Losee, as armand Ddyal. de-
served credit Tor his acting. The company

lowing concerning the tragedy briefly men.
toned IN our telegfaphic columns vester-
day morning: Meagre details have been
received here Of horrible tripie.murdcr
committed about five miles from Pelham,
in Mitchell county, last night. The victims
were Stephen Goodwin; his housekeeper.
Matilda Gregory; and her son, Richard
Gregory, aged tweDty.one years. Nothing
was known OF the crime until this morning,
when failure on the part OF the inmates to
open the house attracted the attention OF
the neighbors, and led to an investigation.
The bodies OF Goodwin and Mrs. Gregory
were found stretched on their blood stained
beds. with the heads terribly crushed and
nearly severed. All the appearances indi-
Gated that both had persisted while asleep.
Young Gregory was found on the floor
veltering in a pool OF his own blood, ard
life was not yet fully extinct when he was
found. Whether he engaged in a struggle
with his murderers or dragged himself
from The he'd in an effort TO reach the door
and give an alarm after their departure is
not known.
All the appearances indicate that Good

were iSftcD, anu lDt lultItHCt II l1bl tue

were cut eyincing contact with very

RumOrs that Mr.. Goodwin constantly
kept large sum of money in the house are
supposed 10 have been the incentive for the
crime. His money was kept elsewhere,
however, and consequently was not secured.
After appropriating fine double-barrelled
gun. the robbers broke into the stable, and
bitchng horse to 4 buggy. drove away as
soon as possible.
After the discovery OF the crimes posses
OF citizens on horseback commenced scour-
ing the country in search OF the murderers.
Tonight one party crossed The line into
Florida and another into Alabama. The
capture will be followed by lynchrng.
Goodwin's brothers offer reward OF 1900
for the arrest OF the assassins. The scene
in the death-cbambers was hideous IN the
extreme. The walls and ceilings were hor-
ribly despatched with blood.

Tho Actors Fund BENEFIT In New York

NEW YORK, December 4.--The actors
fund benefit, which took place at the
Academy this afternoon, was one OF the
most successful affairs that ever occurred
In New York. Much OF the fcidt belong
ing to II was OF course due totbe presence
OF Governor Cleveland, who on this occa-
sion attended public entertainment for
the first time since his election to the presi-
dency. The programme was OF a thor
ougbly entertaining nature, and the vast
auditorium OF the Academy was literally
packed from the orcbestra-rail to the rear
wall OF the amphitheatre. Hundreds OF
persons entered the lobby only to be able
TO get within six feet Of the inner doors
and catch an occasional glimpse OF what
was going on on the stage.
Governor Cleveland came from Albany
In a special train, and the scenes OF en-
thusiasm at the stations along the route
when the train passed were very similar TO
those witnessed during the campaign. The
Governor reached the Academy Of Music
after the play had begun, but when his
presence was discovered the entire au-
dience rose to their feet and the play
stopped for several minutes, the actors
on the stage participating in the cnthusi-
astic demonstrations. Joe Jefferson and
Mr.. Herbert were playing in LEND Ne
Five Sbillings," and when quiet was re-
stored they began where they had left of.
The boX-receipts amounted to a., 1856, and
the outside subscriptions increase the
amount to an aggregate of 10000.

Went Over Niagara Falls.

A Buffalo On. ~ special OF the Sd says; :
There has been great excitement to-day at
Niagara Falls among the friends OF Thomas
Collins, aged fourteen years, who was en-
ployed at HIPS pulp-mill. Last evening
he started to wheel out load OF ssw-dust
TO dump il into the race that empties INTO
the Niagara rapids y short distance above
Prospect Park. He did not return, aud
after waiting for a long time. his fellow
employees started to find out what had be.
come OF him. The wheelbarrow was found
tipped over on the dumping ground. and
in the snow and saw-dust there were marks
that clearly showed that the young man
had slipped into the race. II is thought
that he went into the rapids, and so over
the American Falls. His parents are we'll
connected people, living hall way between
the Falls and Suspension bridge. A search
has been in progress all day for the body,
but so far with no result.

Decision in the Case Of the Steamer
City Of Columbus.
by telegraph 10 the Dispatch.


Boston, December 4.-Judge Nelson, OF
the United States District Court, has rem
dered decision on the petitions for limita-
tion OF liability in the cases brought against
the Boston and Savannah Steamship Com
pany for damages arising from the loss OF
the steamer City Of Columbus. He says:
1.-THE individuality statute extends as
well to claims for personal injuries suffered
by passengers as for the loss Of life OF pas
sengers. The question, whether the own
ers Of the steamship are liable at all for
the consequences OF the stranding and
sinking OF that vessel, and II liable,
whether their liability Is to be linn
tied 10 the value OF the steamer and
her freight, must be determined In the pro-
eeediDgs instituted by the owners and
now pending In this court TO Oh
tain The benefit Of the statute OF
limitation. In the mean time further
prosecutions against the owners OF suits
for damages growing out Of the disaster,
whether In this court or In the courts OF
the State, must be stayed. The insurance
effected by the owners on the steamship
and her cargo Is not interest In such vessel
and freight, which they are bound TO SUR
render for the benefit OF claimants within
the meaning OF the statutes"
