MIXED GRASSES FOR MEADOWS
The seedmens' catalogues recommend
a great variety Of grasses to be sown
for lawns; but it rarely occurs to farmers
that as great a variety is eqvally desira-
BILE pastures and meadows. Yet this is
undoubtedly the fact. For making choice
butter. especially, variety Of the best
grasses is very important. yet, with
many farmers timothy and red-c'oyer
seedlings are the only varieties thought
of. and neither are best for the dairy.
In England, dairy farmers make much
more Of this point than we do. The
sweet-scented vernal grass is esteemed
one of the very best for giving fine
flavor to dairy products.

MATERIALS.

Watering place bellies will look like
animated flower gardens, so very floral
are many new goods and attendant
beaux will watt their sighs over yards
of temptingly portrayed raspberries,
cherries and other small fruits, to say
nothing of holly sprays, acorns, or the
like. Blue stockings may choose from
a variety of geometrie figures, and some
times the two ideas are combined as for
example where grapes are divided into
equal parts contrasting strongly with
each other. Yet more peculiar are logs
or forest branches severed by the wood
mans axe, and having the heart and
inward grainings exposed to view, while
interspersed among all these varieties
of pattern are humming birds, irrides-
cent heeltes or butterflies. All this on
cotton goods, such as satteens, lawns
and cambrics.
Elegant dress patterns contain some
yards of plain wool or silk, with COM
plimont wrought in old German cross
stitch patterns in Italian needlewOrk
and South Kensington stitch, and here
is shown forth an idea applicable to all
classes of goods, not excepting cotton,
and that is a relief of plain stuff as con-
trast to the decorated, or with figures.

that eggs are very much like butter or

kerosene and such things, sometimes be-
come affected, if they are near these goods

The case of Mr.. ]. NJ. Turrentine,
of Durham, against the Richmond Il
Danville r. r., which has been in court
for several years, came to a curious
phase last week. Mr.. Turrentine sued
for 800, 900 damages for the loss of his
hearing and health in consequence of
having to work as mail Route Agent in
car without fire, in very cold weather.
Strong counsel were on both sides of
the case and last week at Charlotte
the jury brought in a verdict awarding
go, 500 to Mr. Turrentine. Judge j. G..
McRae next day sat down on the jury,
and gave the verdict to the Railroad, as
thus stated in Charlotte Observer
''On the opening Of court, Judge Nc
Rae took up the iury's return. The an
swer to the second question, IN his opln-
ion, made all the other answers go for
nothing. The question was, that if the
railroad failed to provide plaintiff with q
stove, was the plaintiff injured thereby
as charged in the complaint? The an
swer was, mot as charged" In an
swer TO the third question, the jury
stated the amount of damage to Mr..
Turrentjne was $4,000.
Judge McRae's construction Of the
Jury verdict was that Turrentine was
not allowed any damages at all. The
Judge then ordered the clerk to enter
| judgment for the defendant (the railroad
company thus turning the case com
pletely against Turrentine. The law
yers on both sides express themselves
delighted with this turn in the aspect OF
the case. Turrentine's lawyers says
| the case looks brighter for him now
4 than ever, and that at the next trial, he
will get verdict for big damages. Ihe
present suit was fought on his charac-
ter, and that having gone through al
right, they will not have that TO contend
with in the next fight. The railroad
men appear to think and feel satisfied
that Judge McRae's decision settles
! Turrentine hash for good.
Immediately upon the decision O
the Judge, Turrentine's counsel took an
appeal to the Supreme Court
