How to Disappoint Balky Horse.

The Fitchburg Sentinel tells how a
L.eominister farmer cured his horse of a
balky freak by gentle means.
he drove him, attached to rack wa
gon, to the wood lot for small! load Of
wood. The animal would not pull a
pound. He did not beat him, but tied
him to tree and 'let him stand" He
went to the lot at sunset, and asked him
to draw, but he would not straighten a
tug. IT made up my mind" said the
farmer, "when that horse went 10 the
barn, he would take that load of wood.
1 went to the barn, got blankets, and
covered the horse warm, and he stood
until morning. Then he refused to diaw.
AT noon went down, and he was proba-
bly, hungry and lonesome. He drew thai
load of wood the first time I asked him

dinner, which he eagerly devoured.

Surprise,

The Northern Pacific Railway is but
just finished when it begins to put on
uniform the same as other railways. An
order was recently made requiring all
the servants of the company to dress in
uniform, and a tailor was employed to get
out the suits. To facilitate matters, the
tailor started on measuring tour, tele'
graphing ahead to all oficials-"Take off
everything but your pantaloons and shirt,
and be on platform, when train arrives,
to be measured for uniform" When the
train arrived, the man would be found
and the tailor ready to enter the train
when it was time for him to 60. Every
thing was working like charm, when
he stopped at one of the stations, but
found no man waiting in his shirt sleeves.
He found, however, very pretty little
lady, the station-mistress, and her big
brother waiting to receive him. He
concluded not to take the measure. He
then telegraphed to MISREPRESENTATION

ATLANTA (aA.) DOTS.

Miss DunaWay Alive.

Atlanta papers are giving the public
some curious and wonderful cases that
are quite interesting. 1t seems young
lady of Atlanta had been reported as
dead, but it came to the ears of Consti'
tuition reporter that she was still alive,
and being on the alert for news, called at
her residence to learn all the facts. Miss
Dunaway, who had been pronounced
dead, said:
"F or four years, rheumatism and neu,
ralgia have resisted physicians aud all
other treatment. My muscles seemed to
dry up, my flesh shrank away, my joints
were swollen, painful and large, lost my
appetite, was reduced to 60 pounds in
weight, and for months was expected to
die. I commenced the use of B. B. B.,
and the action Of one-half bottle con-
yinced my friends that it would cure me.
Its effect was like magic. 1t gave me an
appetite-gave me strength, relieved all
my pains and aches, added flesh to my
bones, and when five bottles had been
used, I had gained so pounds of flesh,
and am to. day sound and WE'LL"

Georgla's Rival Candidates.

ATLANTA, GA, June 6.-The contest
for the Governorship of Georgia has now
grown to al intensity which threatens
disregard for the action of the July con-
vention and an appeal to the people at
the ballot box in October. The we'll
known ex.Congressman, w. Fl. FELTON,,
has taken the stump as Major Bacon's
first lieutenant, and has boldly declared
in his speeches that he will not support
Gordon, even if he should be nominated.
Standing before the people as Bacon's
personal representative and speaking
thus, it is felt that his conduct is in har'
mony with tie wishes Of his principal.
General Gordon, however, is pushing his
canvass with persistence, making two or
three speeches day, and visiting all
sections of the State. His principal
effort is to arouse the old veterans to his
cause, in which he has been reasonably
successful.
Major Racon is also doing active cam.
paign work, carefully disavowing the in
tention of characterizing Gordon with
wrong doing, and yet telling things about
him which suggest that some grand juries
have been derslict in duty. During the
week number of Counties have selected
delegates. These Counties, it was charg-
ed by the Gordon men, hurried up their
action for the benefit of Bacon. The
result showed two for Bacon and seven
for Gordon. Richmond County, in which
Augusta is situated, held a mass meeting
to-day and selected Bacon delegates by q
vote of i67 to s67. Next week fifteen
Counties act, and bets are offered here
that the close of the week will see Gordon
in the lead. The two candidates, as well
as their hehchmen and organs, continue
to abuse each other in the fotlest possible
manner.
The issues of tie canvass have been
completely covered over. AS near as
these issues can be uncovered now, they
materialize in this way: The Gordon
people charge that Major Bacon is the
candidate of the Central Railroad people; /;
that his election would mean modifca-
tion of the powers of the Railroad Com
mission, so that eventually it would be
no more than an advisory body. While
this charge is not fully sustained, yet
tbereis enough in it to give itplausibility.
On the other hand, the Bacon people
claim that Gordon, who left the United
States Senate to become the confidential
adviser of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company, still retains, under
some gnise Of other, that relation; that
the lease of the Western and atlantic
Road expires four years hence, and the
purpose of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, which seeks control ct the
Weston and Atlantic, is to have their
friend in the Governors chair. The con-
| yention will meet on July 2S.

Peter Francisco.

The above is the name of a character
that figured conspicuously among the
troops Of Virginia in the war of the Rev
olution, and besides being brave and
patriotic, was of immense stature and
almost fabulous strength. Francisco was
brought to this country on a ship about
| 1865, and at that time was too young to
know anything of his parentage or ma
tionality, but from certain circumstances,
such as his complexion and speech, he
was supposed to be either Spanish or
Portuguese, and to him was given the
name, Peter Francisco. The writer of
this fecolleots seeing him few years
before his death, which occurred some-
where between 1880 and '35, and when
he (Francisco), was sergeant at arms of
the Virginia House of Delegates. Many
wonderful stories, believed to be strictly
reliable; were told of him in connection
witt his life in the Revolutionary waf.
Being an unlettered man he never arose
to distinction as an officer, but distin-
guished himself on every field as the
brayest of the brave. His sword was
made especially for him, and was exceed
ingly large and heavy, about double the
usual size, and he used it with fearful
effect. That sword is preserved, we
leatii, 10 the Library Of the Capitol at
Richmond. Francisco's feats of bravery
and strength were numerous, but only a
few will suffice. He was once in charge
of four British soldiers, who had captured
him, and had stopped at wayside inn
for refreshment. The muskets of the
guards being stacked in one corner of the
piazza, Francisco picked his opportunity
to step between the men and their arms
and seizing musket he killed one of the
guard and marched the other three to the
American camp.
On another occasion when he was a
prisoner his silver shoe buckles were de-
sired by the British officer who had him
in charge. He said to the officer, "lf
you want them you must take them OFT
YOURSELF" and while the officer stopped
down to unfasten the buckles, with the
bilt of his sword projecting some dis
tance from under his arm, Francisco
wrested the sword from its place, slew the
Britton and escaped with his booty. The
cooked hat worn by the British officer on
this occasion was kept and worn by the
hero as trophy long after the war was
over. The hat carried the marks of the
sword with which Francisco won his lib
erty from his captor. This one incident
we relate, which is vouched for as true:
On certain occasion Francisco bore on
his shoulder and carried some distance,
in the Capitol square at Richmond, a
cannon weighing eleven hundred pounds!
A huge man he was indeed. Some per-
sons are inclined to doubt whether such
man ever lived. but we have seen
Francisco with our own eyes, also his
son Peter and other relatives, and know
that he is not myth. But Peter Fran
cisco is called to mind at this time by the
presence in our midst of Mr.. Chas. L.
Francisco, who is travelling representa-
tive of O. business house in Greenville,
Tenn, and who is great.grandson of the
redoubtable Peter.

lowing each other at alternate workings,

!, A cultivator will run too deep for light
summer work, unless the depth of its
cutting is regulated, by a wheel. We
are inclined to think, that in some form
or; other, wheel plows will become of
universal;use, not only for gauging the
depth of furrow, but for the sake of de-
creasing friction, and relieving the pres
sure on the bottom of the furrow, arising
from the weight of the plow itself, in.

lifts. This grinding aud pressing down
by the ordinary plow generates the hard
pan found in long cultivated land.
The pea crop should be planted now as
soon as possible. Put in drills three feet
apart; q bushel of seed will plant four
acres; and as seed is a consideration,
this mode is oftentimes preferable to
broadcast sowing. More peas can be
raised by the former method of planting,
but the latter is better for the land. If
ones object is to raise seed, drill by all
means, and give necessary plowings and
hoeings, which will not be great deal.
The practice of planting peas in corn is
good it involves nc expense except seed
and the dropping or sowing of them.
