MIR. Hendricks's Domestic Life.

New York World.
Vice-president Hendricks leaves a widow who
has almost as many personal ACC uaintances as he
had. Their married life was one of unbroken
happiness, and they were as near inseparable as
husband and wife can be. He was anxious that
she should not leave him a moment during the
last hours Of his illness, and it must be a cause
of regret to her as long as she lives that she hap
pened to be absent from his bedside the moment
he expired. Mrs. Hendricks was the constant
companion of her husband in nearly all his la
borious political campaigns. She lived at Wash
ington during his service there as United States
senator in the time of the war, and became
widely and most favorably known in the society
of the national capital. She reappeared
there last spring at the White House
the occupant of the presidential chair, and re-
established many old-time friendships. In the
hotly-contested national campaign that preceded
the election of 1884 she travelled with Mr.. Hen
bricks all over Ohio, Indiana and other States
where he spoke. She came with him to New
York on his first visit here after the election and
when he was being congratulated on every hand
by his enthusiastic admirers. They took rooms
at the Fifth-avenue Hotel, and it was my pleasure
TO make them a visit an honr or two after they
arrived. She sat over in one corner of the room,

What Is It.!
A New Enemy Discovered to the Cot
ton Crop--The Sting Of an Insect
Destroying 1t.

Editors augusta Chronicle:
The writer visited with friend the
plantation Of Mr.. S. G. Lamkin near
Harlem in Columbia county, last Sat
urday. We found Mr.. L. IN his field
with countenance indicating the
deepest solicitude. We accosted him
and began to praise his crop. Mr.. L..
at once said: Gentlemen get ont of
yorr buggy and walk through the
field with me. will show you how
deceptive appearances are. We fol-
lowed him and passing through cot
ton that would easily have made a
bale to the acre, he showed US on
nearly every stalk the most frightful
ravsges Of disease or insects. Nearly
every maturing boil was touched with
the blight and many entirely rotten.
This was not confined to any locality
but general over the field. 1t appears
as if an insect had stung each boil,
and wherever the spot was seen a
yellow streak could be followed in
The centre. Mr.. L. said that in few
days these spots enlarged and the
bell became rotten. Samples Of the
stalks were brought to the city and
left at the Chronicle Office for inspec
ton. The writer also gave one Of
them to Mr. Cargill, to be exhibited
at the Gotten Exchange.
This ia not only to be found on Mr..
Lamkin's plantation, but on several
others in Columbia. 1t was only dis
GOV red about week ago by Mr.. L.,
and he says if it continues he will
make absolutely nothing. Upon in,
qairy the writer learned that au ar
ticle appeared in an agricultural
journal in 1879. describing just such
blight in Mississippi, and it was dis.
covered to le an insect that stings
the bolls, and decay at once Sets in.
But for such misfortune there ia no
doubt that Mr.. Lamkin would have
made at least bale of cotton to the
acre on his crop, but as it is he cannot
get one. half of that yield.

LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO

HATTIE TREMAINE TERRY.
Sometimes I'm faint and weary
OF this work day world and life,
With its endless round Of duties,
u And all its cares and strife.
So tired of unmended stockings,
OF buttons-that won't stay on,
Of answering unnumbered questions
From Harry, Dick and Tom.
Tired-of planning the dinners.
s; And'eurnishing brains for the cook.
With scarce an hour of quiet thought,
And never time for book,
! marvel that We as women,
Gave up our girlhood's life.
And took upon us the worries
That fall to mother and wife,
Till l envy each single maiden
With no greater grief or care
Than the cut or fit Of q dress,
Or the smoothness OF her halr.
: But when the days work is over
And stilled each wee lisping tongue,
When quiet reigns which all day long,
With childish voices has rung,
And when in the gathering twilight
draw out the easy chair.

But for loved ones that are there;
When / think of the love that is mine,
That MAKES my burdens its own.
I'm grateful for my lot in life
That Fmlne d maiden lone.
And so the problem now Is solved,
My question an answer found,
Twas ever thus and e'er will be,
That love makes The world 60 round.
