Writers in some Of the Northern papers
are fond Of abusing the Southern planters
for not paying their labOrers more than
40 to 80 cents per day for work. While the
wages are nOminally from s. to Sl2 per
month, these writer's do not take into con-
sideratiOn that ratiOns, house rent. fuel
Gnd garden patch are almost invariably
furnished to each regular lab0rer free of
charge. The actual cost of labor to the
Southern planter cannot average much
less than 81 per day.

himself. He is not actuated, however,

RAITLESNAKE BITE.

Perhaps there is no place on this
continent where rattle-snakes do
congregate in greater numbers
than along the Tioga river in Penn
sylvania. The mountains through
which that crooked stream fluids q
passage are the home of the rattle
snake, and in tbs warm summer
months they leave their dens by
thousands for the narrow valley.
where they bask in the sun for .
few weeks, aud those that do not
get their heads bruised by the heal
of man, or get cnt in pieces by ly-
ing at night Oh the warm ruils of
the Corning and Blossburg rail-
road. as thousands Of them are,
crawl back 20 their dens in the
rocky ledges. In midsummer it is
an almost daily occurrence for some
one to be bitttn by these reptiles in
the Tioga Valley, aud domestic
animals are frequently bitten. But
the residents oil lLis region do not
look upon the bite of these reptiles
as anything serious. When n per-
son is bitten, handful of mud or
wet clay is applied to the wound.
and fresh applications are made
every teD or fifteen minutes until
the poison is all drawn out. The
first thing IL native of that locality
does after being bitten is to seek u
place where hogs wallow, where
soft mud or wet clay is always
found. He buds on a quantity,
and is soon cured. The same is
applied to domestic animals when
they exh bit symptoms of snake
bite, and this Treatment is Away 9
successful If The application is
made before the poison goes too
far. 1t is we'll known that hogs
are not harmed by suake bites, and
this is accounted for by the. pork
el's habit of cooling off by lying III
~ mud hole. A farmer on the line
of the Corning and Blossbnrg rail-
road had o small cur dog that made
it his business to kill rattlesnakes.
In his encounters with large ones
he would be bitten several times,
but as soon as the fight was over
he would hasten to the farm yard
and lay himself in hog wallow"
for several hours, when lie would
come out entirely free from poison.
1t is well to fortify tue system with
stimulants. then apply the clay
mud, and cure is certain. The
clay must be moist and of tie con-
sistency of dough.

We have had another week oil
fine weather. and work on the new

The skaters have covered the main
roof, and the cupola will probably
be finished to-day. The flooring is
nearly all laid, and now that the

nothing to interfere with the work
inside of the building. In a few
weeks it will he finished, and we
will then have a Courthouse tina;

work upon il. The next night
tears and reprosches met him.
Every scrap Of note paper in the
house had been used mp. and col
umns Of figures covered even the
walls.
The editor waved fierce, and once
more attacked that problem him
self. He first tried TO prove that
no COW ever. lived twenty years.
Vain hope! Then he argued that
no such coz ever lived, and by a
! priori reasoning he succeeded in
convincing himself that no sane
farmer would let such Disgrace
fully prolific COW ever live. But
still that suppose" stared him in
the face. Then he manfully set all
bubbles aside and began to wres-
tie. He wrestled as did Jacob with
the angel-all night. Victory was
his reward, and to day he triumph
antly declares that at the end of 81
years that farmer had 1873 head
of cattle.
The various answers sentiE vary.
In fact they differ. They range all
tue way from 81 to 11,046. The
man who said it was GA sent a post
al later saying he had forgot the
old COW. That merely shows the in-
tense interest the old COW has ex-
cited. Ell Mahdi is nowhere be-
side that COW. O'Donovan Rossa
and Mrs. Don't-try-to- pronounce
it Dudley are side issues compared
with the issue of that cow The
popular feeling il wei! expressed
in the brief comment attached to
the biggest answer, Kill that COW
man. lie spoiled my sleep" It is
even whispered by the elect that a
chosen band Of dynhmiters started
for Connecticut yesterday. The
conundrum editor has subscribed
literally toward paying their ex-
penses. AID he says he will shoot
on the spot any man who ever says
anything to him about COW again.

THE COW PROBLEM.

Baltimore SIN: On tho oath oil
last January there was handed to
the editor of this paper the follow
ing problem:
"a man has a COW, which has her
first calf ut the age of 3, and one
each year till she is 81. Her off.
spring are all heifers and equally
as productive. How many head Of
cattle will the man have ut the end
of 81 years
1t came in n letter from Connec-
ticut--mark you, from Connecti-
cut; no other State could have pro-
duced such a monstrosity. It
didn't look like monstrosity,
though. at first. It looked as
harmless and peaceful! as a new
born babe. In fact, il looked easy,
and the editor thought he wouldn't
PROFOUND it to the people, but
quietly give the answer ut once. So
he sat down and consumed half the
valuable afternoon in answering
that easy problem. Only he didn't
answer it. It wouldn't answer.
The more he worked the madden
he got. and at last be ga We it up in
despair.
That childlike and bland COW
problem appeared January 26.
The answers began to come in
the next day. At first it was rare
fun reading them. Then 1t got a
little monotonous. Then the pigeon
holes began to get filled up. That
COW began to be dreary. The edi-
tor read lettars about that COW all
day, and dreamed of her all night.
Life became a symphony of matbe-
NAUTICAL cows-or rather dirge OF
algebraical calves.
1t became Il matter of life or
death to answer that problem.
First he tackled his brother edi t.
ors. The man who slingeth and
archeth gave one glance at the
problem aud gently murmnred: II
dou't think l hsif-sr faculty for
mathematics" This staggered the
conuudrum editor 80 that lie didn't
dare approach another man in the
Office. He took the puzzle home
and meroilessly set his family At

ADVANTAGES OF A NIGHr SCHOOL.
Many of our citizens, perhaps, are
not aware that successful night
school is now opened in the Cow
ington Academy. Parents cannot
better invest for their children than
by educating them; and AS many
persons cannot spare their boys to
&c to day school. this supplies it's
place. and does not withdraw them
from their daily business Many
eminent persons have started at
night school, who have thus laid
the rudiments of n successful bust.
ness education. 1t is well known,
also. that as boys have nothing in
the night school to call off their at-
tention, they progress more rapidly.
Parents, you cannot do better than
to seriously consider this matter,
and send your boys to the night
school. Complete bookkeeping is
also taught. The night school also
keeps the boys from the evils and
idleness of the street. It is said
that the late President Garfield
commenced his career in a night
school; and now, when SO good an
opportunity is offered to gain a
knowledge which will last through
life, let all parents who cannot send
their boys to school by day send
them to the night schoolnow open.
Education is better than gold and
more lasting than property. Many
youths have run through the prop
erty left them, but they could not
throw away their learning, nor bar
ter it away. Then let every one,
who can, avail himself of the night
school now in our midst. A night
school is an advantage that Coving-
ton has perhaps never had before,
and may not soon have again. Then
let all send to it.

The Boston Herald makes this re-
ply to the question, "What IS Pro
tection?" Protection is taxation.
If the protective tariff did not in
crease the price of merchandise, it
would afford no protection" II
is taxation of Americans. Not
Englishmen, or Frenchmen, OF
Germans. but our own people. We
pay the extra price for the 'pro-
tected" articles we consume. Can
a country's prosperity be increased
by taxation? Are the people of o
country to be made richer and hap
pier by taking away part OF their
living? Is it possible that the
prosperity of country can be in
creased by taxing the people to pay
men for carrying on industries
which would not be profitable 9th
erwise? Do the people of the coun-
try understand that in the price OF
almost every article they consume
they pay something to keep cer-
tain manufacturers alive? And are
they willing that this shall con-
tinue. not as temporary means OF
developing infant manufacturers,
but as the permanent policy of the
country?
